Selectboard ratifies execution for FEMA flood-buyout at 3385 Richville Road
Summary
The Selectboard approved a ratification authorizing the town manager (or town assessor in his stead) to execute closing documents for the FEMA Flood Mitigation Buyout of 3385 Richville Rd., a property sold by Mark and Mary Roberts.
The Town of Manchester Selectboard on May 19 ratified a document authorizing the town manager — and, in his stead, the town assessor — to execute any further documents needed to complete the closing and transfer of a property at 3385 Richville Rd. that Mark and Mary Roberts sold through the FEMA Flood Mitigation Buyout Program.
Town Manager Scott Murphy described the buyout program as designed for the acquisition and demolition of flood-prone residential properties; the ratification delegates signing authority to complete the closing. Heidi Chamberlain moved to approve signing the ratification of execution of documents related to the Roberts' sale; Jonathan West seconded. The motion passed 5-0.
The action places the property into town ownership for demolition/removal as part of flood-mitigation work under FEMA program rules; the minutes did not list a timeline for demolition or associated costs to the town beyond the closing authority granted at this meeting.
