Council member says private owner has offered to return watershed parcel to town
Summary
At the Oct. 28 meeting, Council member Paul reported that the remaining watershed parcel—previously sold to a company identified in the transcript as "1 30 of Chadwick" and associated with Tim Sweeney—has been offered back to the town; the town attorney reportedly found no disadvantages to accepting it.
A council member said a private owner has offered to return the town’s remaining watershed parcel, and the council discussed accepting the property.
Paul told the council that several years ago the town’s watershed property was sold to a company the transcript identifies as "1 30 of Chadwick," which he said is essentially associated with Tim Sweeney. Paul said Sweeney has offered to give the remaining watershed parcel back to the town and that the town attorney has reviewed the proposal and found no disadvantages to acceptance.
Paul framed the offer as a potential regain of local control over a critical resource used for municipal water. The council did not record a formal vote on acceptance during the discussion recorded in the transcript; Paul said the attorney had examined the pros and cons but the meeting did not include a final recorded action to accept the parcel.
The transcript text for the company name appears garbled; the article reports it as spoken in the meeting and flags the name for verification with town staff.
