NECCOG authorizes negotiation to buy 125 Putnam Pike property in Dayville
Summary
NECCOG voted Sept. 19 to authorize staff to negotiate the purchase of the property at 125 Putnam Pike in Dayville, including a modified northern boundary and .85 acres that includes the animal shelter, for $100,000 for the buildable lands; one member abstained.
NECCOG Chair Rick Ives called a special meeting to order Sept. 19, and the council voted to authorize staff to negotiate the purchase of the property at 125 Putnam Pike in Dayville.
The motion to authorize negotiations was made by Mr. Walker, seconded by Mr. Cahill, and approved with Mr. Ide recorded as abstaining. The minutes record the authorization as allowing modification of the northern property boundary and including the .85-acre parcel that contains the animal shelter, with a stated price of $100,000 for the buildable lands. The minutes do not list individual yes/no votes beyond the recorded abstention.
The decision followed a closed executive-session discussion. Earlier in the meeting, Mr. Piper moved and Mr. Beausoleil seconded a motion to enter executive session to discuss acquisition of the property currently housing NECTD and NECCOG; that motion directed that the Executive Director be a participant and asked that the Killingly representative and the Killingly town manager not participate in the first part of the executive session because the property is located in Killingly. The board later voted, on a motion by Mr. Walker seconded by Mr. Piper, to exit executive session and resume open session.
The authorization empowers staff to negotiate terms but does not record completion of a purchase; further action by the body would be required to finalize any acquisition. The meeting adjourned at 9:25 a.m.
