Council approves first reading of ordinance allowing town manager to negotiate affordable-housing agreement
Summary
At the meeting’s opening, council approved the first reading of an ordinance authorizing the town manager to enter an economic-development agreement with 97 LLC to develop affordable housing at 97 Goethe Road; the voice vote was unanimous and the item will return for a second reading on June 10.
A council member moved to approve the first reading of an ordinance authorizing the town manager to enter an economic-development agreement with 97 LLC for affordable housing at 97 Goethe Road. A second was recorded and the chair called for a voice vote. "All in favor, say aye," the chair said; council answered in the affirmative and the chair declared the motion unanimous.
The ordinance was presented as the first of two readings; staff and council said the second reading and public hearing are scheduled for June 10. Council did not debate the merits of the project at length during the workshop and no roll-call vote or individual tallies were taken at this meeting.
The action sets the town manager to complete negotiations and return the ordinance for final consideration on the council’s scheduled June meeting. The council did not discuss specific contract terms, financing details, or any developer commitments at this session; those details will be expected to appear with the ordinance packet at the second reading.
