After executive session Eastport council approves repurchasing agreements for two tax lots
Summary
Following an executive session on personnel and real property, the Eastport City Council unanimously approved repurchasing agreements for 12 Chapel Street (I7-0B1-14) and 2 Clark Street (H7-0A4-17) to resolve taxes and sewer; both motions passed 5-0.
After convening an executive session at 7:39 p.m. under Title 1 MRSA §405(6)(A) (personnel) and §405(6)(C) (real property/economic development), the Eastport City Council returned to open session and approved two repurchasing agreements to satisfy outstanding taxes and sewer charges.
Councilor Rhonda Stevens moved to approve the repurchasing agreement for 12 Chapel Street (tax lot I7-0B1-14) for all taxes and sewer; Councilor A. J. Seeley seconded the motion, which the council recorded as passed 5-0. The council approved a second repurchasing agreement for 2 Clark Street (tax lot H7-0A4-17) under the same terms and recorded that motion as passed 5-0.
Why it matters: Repurchasing agreements change ownership or financial responsibility for tax-acquired properties and resolve municipal liens; these approvals represent final authorization by the council following confidential deliberations in executive session.
The council took the actions at the same meeting that included routine organizational votes and adjourned at 8:30 p.m.
