Task force: Ski Tow easement must transfer before town sells Ski Tow property
Summary
Minutes say the recreational easement on the Ski Tow property must be transferred to the Bailey property before the town would be able to sell Ski Tow; the group described the two moves as a 'package deal' with a time‑element requirement for the transfer.
The task force discussed transference of a recreational easement from the Ski Tow property in West Newbury to the Bailey property if the Bailey purchase proceeds. Minutes state the easement needs to be transferred from Ski Tow before the town could sell Ski Tow, and members described a time element that governs when an easement can be transferred to a new property.
Members characterized the purchase of the Bailey property and the Ski Tow easement transfer as a 'package deal.' The minutes record that authorizing the easement transfer is one of the three Town Meeting articles the task force plans to submit, and members asked for warning language to be ready by Jan. 23, 2026.
