states that a municipality
that wants to dispose of land
“must publish notice of its
intention in a newspaper.”
If the land is to be sold to

a non-profit corporation, the.

notice must include “a de-
scription of the land or im-
provements; the nature and,
if applicable, the term of the
proposed disposition; and
the consideration to be re-
ceived by the local govern-
ment for the disposition.”

Those. elements were.

felt there should have been
more discussion.of the pro-
posed sale in open council.
All meetings about the land
took place incamera — also
a regular practice for coun-
cils when discussing land,
legal or personnel matters.

Amos said he believed
the process to have been as
open as possible, consider-
ing the topic was a land pur-
chase.

Council ratified. the
agreement for right of first
refusal at a regular council
meeting held October 28.

That agreement gives the

~ Town the right to have the

first chance at purchasing
the land should PCS decide
to sell. ~
“That protects the munic-
ipality,” Amos said...
