Task force reviews lease‑option extension as June 25 expiration nears
Summary
Members said the lease option was due to expire June 25; an extension was circulated to the first selectman and the town attorney for review, and the group agreed to set a firm deadline for final legal review.
Task force members reviewed the lease-option schedule and the circulation of a proposed extension to the first selectman and the town attorney. Participants said the existing option term was expiring on June 25 and that the extension was intended to preserve the developer’s ability to proceed while permitting and interconnection work continue.
The developer said he circulated the extension to First Selectman O'Neal and to the town attorney (identified in the transcript as Attorney Kaylin) and would monitor responses. Task force members asked the town attorney to prioritize finalizing the extension language and to recommend any changes the board should seek before agreeing to the extended option.
Members asked that negotiations not be allowed to drag indefinitely. One member said the task force should set a near-term deadline for finalizing the extension so that costs and scheduling are not driven up by excessive delays. The group did not take a formal vote; the developer and town counsel will continue negotiations.
