At-a-glance: Special meeting approves Gallagher Wing transfer and adjourns
Summary
In a short special meeting, the council waived its right of first refusal on the Gallagher Wing to enable transfer to the Newport Housing Authority and then adjourned; the meeting record does not include a roll-call vote tally or a transfer timeline.
The Newport City Council convened a special meeting, took up Action Item 6469 to waive the city's right of first refusal on the Gallagher Wing at the Florence Grace Center, approved the waiver by voice vote, and then adjourned. The chair conducted a voice vote, saying "Ayes have it."
The meeting record contains no roll-call vote tally of individual yea/nay votes and does not specify a date for the property transfer. Administration staff said the council action form contains the substantive details and indicated there were no further comments from the administration. The owners representative, Manny Ferreira of KCM Group, described the wing as "a critical component" of the CLC project and said it "will be a mix of tenants or organizations that will occupy that space."
