Town searches for missing deed on parcel tied to solar grant; airport building bids exceed estimates
Summary
Town staff could not locate a warranty deed for the parcel that includes the highway shop, Civic Center and Business Center while assembling a solar array grant package; the clerk engaged a title company to search. Separately, airport building bids came in higher than expected and remain uncertain.
Town staff reported March 11 that a warranty deed for the parcel containing the highway shop, Civic Center and Business Center could not be located at the Register of Deeds while collecting paperwork for a solar array grant.
Clerk Andy Tuttle told the board he has contacted a title company to perform a search for the missing document. The minutes do not state whether the deed is believed to be lost, misfiled, or held elsewhere, and no deadline for the title search was provided.
On a related land‑use matter, Supervisor Jeff Hurula said bids for a new airport building to house snow‑removal equipment came in higher than expected, leaving the project's future uncertain. Hurula added that paperwork associated with the land‑use permit still must be filed regardless of the bid results.
Chair Roy Bloom said town chairs of owner towns must sign off to apply for a rezone so the airport can pursue land‑use permits; Bloom indicated he would sign the paperwork as a courtesy. The board took no formal action on the rezone sign‑off at the meeting.
What happens next: the clerk will await results from the title company search; airport permitting steps continue and the board may revisit the airport building project if bids or funding change.
