Summary

Following an executive session held to discuss acquisition of real property and economic development, the committee approved staff recommendations to sell two city-owned parcels: 45 Allen Street and 299 Essex Street.

After an executive session called under the statute read aloud in the transcript, the Business and Economic Development Committee approved staff recommendations to sell two city properties at 45 Allen Street and 299 Essex Street.

At the start of the executive-session motion, the transcript records a citation read into the record (transcribed as "1 MRSI section 4056 c") describing the statutory basis for entering executive session to discuss acquisition of real property and economic development for two items. The committee took a roll-call vote and entered executive session.

When the committee returned, a committee member moved to accept staff recommendations on the sales of 45 Allen Street and 299 Essex Street. The motion was seconded and, absent objection, the chair declared the motion carried.

The public transcript does not include sale prices, purchaser names or detailed closing timelines; staff noted only that they were presenting staff recommendations to proceed with the sales.
