Winter Park council approves MOU to negotiate sale of town land for electric substation
Summary
The council approved Resolution 2324 directing the Town Manager to negotiate in good faith with Mountain Parks Electric Inc. for up to five to six acres above the Public Works facility for a potential electric substation; the vote was unanimous (7-0).
The Winter Park Town Council on June 16 approved Resolution 2324, authorizing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that directs the Town Manager to enter good-faith negotiations with Mountain Parks Electric, Inc. over the potential sale of town-owned land above the Public Works facility for an electric substation.
Town Manager Jon Peacock told the council the site under consideration sits above the Public Works facility and that Mountain Parks Electric expects to require roughly five to six acres. Peacock said the town will seek to negotiate terms that preserve some current uses of the parcel; the resolution authorizes the manager to execute the MOU but does not itself transfer title or finalize a sale.
The council voted 7-0 to approve the MOU. The resolution materials included a staff report, the proposed MOU, and a property record card; councilors did not request additional public hearings at the meeting. Next steps are negotiations between town staff and Mountain Parks Electric and any future proposals to the council would return for formal approval if a sale or other binding agreement is proposed.
