Committee holds executive session, then authorizes leases and three property sales
Summary
Under 1 MRSA §405(6)(C) the committee went into executive session to discuss acquisition and city-owned property; following the closed session the committee authorized staff to pursue lease efforts for GE and empowered the city manager to sell two parcels (45 Allen Street for $50,000 and 117 4th Street for $7,200). Roll-call vote to enter executive session was recorded.
The committee voted to enter executive session under 1 MRSA section 4056 c to discuss acquisition of real property and economic development (four items were cited). The chair called for a roll-call vote before recessing: Councilor Fish — yes; Councilor Mallor — yes; Councilor Carson — yes; Councilor Falloon — yes; Chair Leonard — yes. The committee entered executive session and later returned to open session.
After reconvening, a member moved to “empower the efforts to move forward with the leases for GE.” The motion was seconded and approved to proceed; no roll-call tally was recorded on that post-executive session motion.
Subsequently the committee moved, seconded and approved two property-sale authorizations: to empower the city manager or designee to sell 45 Allen Street to a buyer identified as Todd for $50,000, and to sell 117 4th Street to Shannon D. Collab Smith for $7,200. Each motion was moved and seconded and carried; the record shows committee consensus but no detailed vote tallies for the post-session approvals.
Staff was directed to proceed with the administrative steps to implement the lease and sale authorizations.
