Pegram authorizes mayor to negotiate purchase of land for sewer drip field
Summary
The board authorized the mayor to negotiate and execute an agreement to purchase necessary acreage or easements for a sewer drip field, based on a Moffett-Revell LLC appraisal valuing 20.97 acres at $106,500.00; the motion included a conflict-of-interest waiver and passed unanimously among members present.
The Town of Pegram Board on Dec. 1 authorized the mayor to negotiate and execute a contract to acquire acreage or an easement needed for a sewer drip field. The authorization followed presentation of an appraisal from Moffett-Revell LLC valuing 20.97 acres at $106,500.00 and a report that the landowner may be willing to sell adjacent land.
Alderman Miranda Montgomery moved to authorize the mayor to negotiate and sign an agreement for all acreage deemed necessary by the town engineer and to sign a formal conflict-of-interest waiver disclosing any potential conflict; Vice Mayor Bob Sanders seconded. The recorded vote was Sanders-yes, Charles Morehead-yes and Montgomery-yes; Howington and Paszek were absent. The motion carried.
The engineer indicated the acreage is intended for a drip field and related preparation for the town sewer plant. The transcript records the appraisal amount and acreage; it does not specify the exact acreage the engineer will deem necessary, closing price targets, or a timeline for closing. The landowner’s willingness to sell additional adjacent property was noted by the board but no purchase price for that additional acreage is recorded.
The transcript shows the town will proceed by negotiating terms with the property owner and that the mayor is authorized to execute the required documents, including a conflict-of-interest waiver if applicable. Additional approvals, funding sources and timelines were not specified during the meeting.
