Council authorizes attorney to prepare information on possible 15-acre sale to school with town right of first refusal
Summary
The council directed Town Attorney Briane House to provide information about selling 15 acres west of Morristown High School to the school, with the town retaining first rights of refusal; the council approved the request 3-0.
President Ralph Henderson asked the council to seek legal information about selling roughly 15 acres west of Morristown High School to the school district while maintaining the town’s right of first refusal.
Council Member Larry Tracy moved to authorize Town Attorney Briane House to provide the requested information; Council Member Kristi Langkabel seconded the motion and it carried 3-0. The council did not adopt a sale ordinance or agree to specific sale terms at the Feb. 11 meeting; the action was limited to directing the attorney to prepare information for future consideration.
The proposal would require later formal steps — including any sale ordinance, appraisal, and negotiation with the school district — and the council paused action pending the attorney’s analysis and future council deliberation.
