Committee member moves to accept highest closed bid of $83,000; motion seconded
Summary
At a Baldwin Planning Board meeting, a committee member moved to accept the highest offer in a closed bid, reported as $83,000; the motion was seconded and the board discussed paperwork, deed timing and assessor notification.
A committee member moved to accept the highest offer in a closed bid and said, "The highest bid was, $83,000." The Chair seconded the motion, and members discussed next steps for paperwork, issuing a deed and notifying the assessor.
The board was told this sale was handled under a closed‑bid/privacy process; the committee member said the town discloses only the amount of the highest bid and not bidder names or other offer amounts. The committee member added that a bank check would be prepared ("we'll prior a bank check made up of the dental Baldwin") and that a quick claim deed would not be signed until the next meeting if documentation completed earlier.
Board members agreed the matter could move forward. There was no roll‑call vote recorded in the transcript; the motion was seconded and members proceeded to administrative details about the deed and tax assessment notification.
The board directed staff to assemble the paperwork and notify the assessor once the sale documentation is complete; any required deed signing was to occur at a subsequent meeting.
