United Church Benevolent Society has signed a trail easement; council asked to execute document
Summary
Town attorney reported the United Church Benevolent Society has signed a donation easement for a portion of the trail and asked council to execute the document; no formal vote was recorded on the easement during this meeting.
The town attorney (speaker 2) told the council that the United Church Benevolent Society has signed an easement donating the portion of the trail that crosses its property and asked the council to approve execution.
Attorney (speaker 2) said the church’s entity, referred to in discussion as the United Church Benevolent Society, “are donating their easement” and asked council members to execute the document before they leave or to defer public comment to later in the meeting as the item remains on the agenda.
Why it matters: the easement secures a portion of the planned trail through private property; executing the instrument would clear a property-ownership hurdle before construction can proceed along that segment.
Next steps: the attorney asked the council to either execute the easement tonight or allow the town clerk or staff to process it, noting the document has already been signed by the property owner. No formal motion or recorded vote approving the easement appears in the meeting record.
