Land Acquisition
The Town Manager distributed a letter from the Middlesex Board of Realtors regarding the
Union Street site. He also noted that a Special Town Meeting would not be needed for the school
issues. The Board noted that the Board of Realtors proposal was completely out of line with the
Town's appraisals and what the Town could give the property up for.
On motion by MacDonald seconded by Ensminger, the Board voted to confirm the offer to the
Russells to acquire their property for $175,000 subject to a decision by the Board of Selectmen in
their meeting next week, and subject to Town Meeting approval. On a roll call vote, all five
members voted in the affirmative and the motion was carried.
On motion by MacDonald seconded by Ensminger the Board voted to direct the Town Manager
to write a letter to the Board of Realtors retracting the previous offer. On a roll call vote all five
members voted in the affirmative and the motion was carried. The Town Manager will meet with
the Police Station Building Committee to brief them.
