Select Board votes to terminate Old Town Garage lease in one year; will send certified notice

Town of Orwell Select Board · April 27, 2026

Summary

The board found the Old Town Garage in poor condition, moved to terminate the lease effective 04/01/2027, and agreed to draft and send a certified letter referencing the March 23 minutes and to have the town lawyer review the wording.

Board members reported the Old Town Garage building is deteriorating, with collapsing materials and an accumulation of goods around and inside the structure. After discussion, Joe moved to terminate the lease in one year (motion text recorded as "terminate lease in 1 year at 04/01/2027"), Mike Christian seconded, and the motion passed.

The chair (S2) said he will draft a letter referencing the March 23 meeting minutes about non-renewal of the lease and will circulate it to the board for comment. Members agreed the town lawyer should review the wording and that the letter may be sent certified to protect the town's legal position.
