The Board discussed Homart, and agreed to meet with them in Ex-
ecutive Session on the 16th. The Town Manager indicated that
Homart is interested in staying involved in the project, but is
not ready to close at the end of September. The indication from
Homart was that they have "little funding" to secure an exten-
sion. The Board discussed interest in keeping Homart involved,
but also exploring other options. One possibility was to permit
the Town to market the property but to give Homart the right of
first refusal. The Town Manager indicated that part of any ex-
tension would be that Homart would release all plans and other
documents to the Town of Reading at the end of its extension for
use by the Town.

O'Keefe of a Workers' Compensation case. Authorization is
requested to settle a case for a sum not to exceed $49,900. The

ture liability. On motion by Hoyt seconded by Hines the Board
voted to authorize the settlement not to exceed $49,900 by a vote

at 10: 50 p.m. All members voted in the affirmative, .and the
meeting was adjourned.
