Board approves Rail Trail lease template, asks state to initial crossed‑out sections
Summary
The Select Board voted to accept the state’s Rail Trail lease template with the stipulation that any crossed‑out sections be initialed and dated, and authorized a board designee to sign the agreement.
The board voted to approve the Rail Trail lease agreement using the state's standard template, with a request that the state initial and date any crossed‑out sections and that the town's signer be authorized to execute the document.
Carl, who attended from the Rail Trail/state coordination side, said he had no further background to add but was prepared to answer questions. Board members expressed concern that the state template includes struck sections rather than a redlined final, and asked whether the town clerk could waive recording fees. The board included in the motion a request that crossed‑out sections be initialed and dated.
A motion to accept the agreement with that stipulation and to authorize the chair (or a named designee) to sign carried on a voice vote. The board instructed staff to follow up with the state's contact about initialing and to seek whatever fee waivers (recording fee) are available.
