Council directs solicitors to draft amendment to Microsoft development agreement
Summary
Council discussed and voted to direct solicitors to draft legislation authorizing the mayor to sign an amendment to the Microsoft development agreement that clarifies access and roadway responsibilities, including Canyon Road extension and resurfacing of Enterprise and High Street.
The village council on Monday directed solicitors to draft legislation authorizing the mayor or her agents to execute an amendment to the Microsoft development agreement.
Council discussion focused on clarifying access and infrastructure responsibilities tied to the project. Speakers described additional details about a proposed Canyon Road extension, resurfacing of Enterprise and High Street to accommodate construction traffic, grading access for equipment and a planned railroad crossing approval. Councilors noted the Canyon Road extension is not required for the development to proceed but was presented as better long‑term access for the site.
A motion to direct the solicitor to prepare the draft amendment was made, seconded and adopted by the council. The motion instructs legal staff to draft legislation that would authorize the mayor or her agents to sign the amendment once the language is finalized.
Council members did not identify new funding sources during the discussion. The amendment was described as intended to “firm up our agreement” on road work and resurfacing expectations and to reflect updated cost estimates provided by the developer.
The council did not provide a timeline in the discussion for final legislative consideration; the direction given was procedural — to prepare draft legislation for a future meeting.
