Council approves shared-leasing agreement for downtown parking lot with 111 West Congress LLC
Summary
Council approved a resolution to enter a shared-lease agreement allowing the owner of 330 North George Street to use a city lot during the day while the city retains weekend and evening use; one member recused.
After a brief, no‑speaker public hearing, the council approved a resolution to enter a shared lease agreement between the City of Charles Town and 111 West Congress LLC that formalizes daytime use by the private owner and weekend/evening use by the city for an existing parking lot adjacent to the Clock Tower building.
The city attorney (S13) explained the agreement is required by law as part of the closing deliverables for a purchase-and-sale transaction and described the intended shared schedule: owner use during business hours and city use for nights and weekends. The motion to approve the resolution passed on a voice vote; one council member recused from the vote. The resolution will enable the city to proceed with closing and other conveyance deliverables required by the purchase agreement.
The mayor confirmed the motion carried; no public speakers had signed up for the hearing.
