Council approves parking‑lot permit for Opportunity Bank conditioned on MOU, 3‑2 vote
Summary
Town council approved a parking-lot paving permit for Opportunity Bank after requiring a memorandum of understanding addressing utilities and county property; the motion passed 3–2 with Councilor Matt Greemore casting the tie-breaking yes conditioned on MOU compliance and county discussions.
The Twin Bridges Town Council approved a parking-lot paving permit for Opportunity Bank on Aug. 12, conditioned on a town-drafted memorandum of understanding (MOU) addressing utility lines and county property boundaries. The council recorded a 3–2 vote, with Councilor Matt Greemore casting a tie-breaking yes contingent on the bank’s compliance with the MOU and further discussions with the county.
Councilor Scott Holbrook introduced the motion requiring an MOU with the bank; Councilor Jordan High seconded. Councilors JB Klyap and Nolan Frandsen voted no; Holbrook and High voted yes; Greemore broke the tie in favor of the project if the bank complies with the MOU and any necessary county coordination. Councilors discussed concerns that paving over county property would not be permitted, that a sewer access cover and septic separation tank must be addressed, and that replacements to the asphalt would be at the bank’s expense if the town must dig up a failing sewer line.
The council directed staff to draft the MOU between the town and Opportunity Bank and to confirm property lines with the county before work begins. No representative of Opportunity Bank was named in the record. The council did not set a construction start date in the minutes; further approvals will depend on satisfying the MOU conditions and county requirements.
The action is procedural and limited to permitting and agreement terms; it does not transfer property or authorize paving on county land.
