OLD BUSINESS
Meeting with James Ducey, Controller for J. Walsh Real Estate Inc., a management holding company, to liquidate a road bond associated with Commons Housing Trust for the development known as Woodbrook Lane. A road bond has been on the books for many years to secure completion of certain infrastructure. Mr. Ducey’s understanding is that all work has been completed. Woodbrook Lane was accepted by the Town back in 2005. The Commons Housing Trust is still active as one lot remains to be sold in the subdivision, but any disbursement should be made to J.Walsh Real Estate Inc. as there is no bank account in the name of Commons Housing Trust. The Board suggested that Town Counsel review the request first before releasing any funds.
Motion to approve release of road bond for subdivision called “Woodbrook Lane” pending advice from Town Counsel: Joseph Gamache
Second: Joseph Weeks
Vote: 3-0
