Willington committee backs letter of intent for three River Road parcels and approves $2,310 legal invoice

The Chair moved that the Willington School Building Committee recommend that the town, through the First Selectman, approve and enter into an agreement on the letter of intent for River Road Parcel IDs 2272, 2279 and 2282 in Willington, Connecticut, in accordance with the terms set forth within the agreement. The motion was seconded and passed on a roll-call vote.

The committee took the motion following a closed executive session the members said was conducted under Connecticut General Statutes, cited during the meeting as covering real estate appraisals and feasibility estimates. "Pursuant to Connecticut General Statutes, 1, 210B 7 in part, the contents of real estate appraisals, engineering or feasibility estimates and evaluations ..." was read into the record before the committee entered executive session, the chair said.

On the motion to recommend the letter of intent, a roll-call recorded members voting in favor; the clerk read names during the roll-call and the motion was announced as passed. The clerk’s roll call responses in support included James Marshall, Adam Brewer, Peter Bacon, Jeremy Brothers, Lisa Eaton, Mr. Teehan and Adam Zalonis. The meeting record shows the motion passed; no dissenting votes were recorded on the transcript.

The committee then approved an invoice from Pullman & Comley related to the property matter. "The School Building Committee approves the May 12, 2026 invoice from Pullman and Comley, invoice number 458552, in the amount of $2,310 for services rendered towards a potential property purchase on River Road," the Chair moved; the motion was seconded and carried on roll call.

The invoice details were provided in the meeting: invoice #458552, dated May 12, 2026, for $2,310. Committee members did not add conditions to the payment during the discussion recorded in the transcript.

Next steps recorded in the meeting: the recommendation will be forwarded to the First Selectman for any town-level action on the letter of intent; the transcript does not record a definitive signature or date for the town’s execution of the LOI. The committee adjourned and noted several upcoming engagement items including Wellington Day and an enrollment projection presentation scheduled for May 26.

Votes at a glance: the transcript’s roll-call reading shows the motion to recommend the LOI and the motion approving the invoice were both announced as passed by roll call. The meeting record does not show any recorded no or abstaining votes for these two motions.
