Commissioners decline to pursue purchase of Snyder parcel tied to WWTP expansion
Summary
After discussion, commissioners agreed not to move forward with Ordinance 25‑05 to acquire 16,874 sq ft owned by Kathleen Snyder for a wastewater plant reconfiguration, citing connectivity and engineering concerns; the purchase agreement remains on hold.
Commissioners discussed ORDINANCE 25‑05, which would authorize the town to purchase 16,874 square feet from Kathleen Snyder to reconfigure town property on Center Street. Commissioners Tom Willis and Al Hardee said there was no reason to buy the parcel if it could not be connected to the current wastewater treatment plant site via easements. An engineer recommended an alternative location for plant expansion.
Commissioner Bryon Callahan agreed and, as a result, the commission declined to move the ordinance forward and did not vote to adopt it. Staff reported there is no purchase agreement in place because the proposed agreement depended on adoption of the ordinance.
Because commissioners explicitly declined to approve the ordinance, the parcel acquisition will not proceed at this time and any related purchase agreement remains on hold pending further action or reconsideration.
