Under the terms of a Preservation Agreement dated <br />July 20, 1984, the Town has a 99 year purchase option expiring in the year 2083. Since the <br />house is out of the Town's price range, the Board should send a letter saying it is not interested in <br />purchasing the house at this time. <br />Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 4-0 to send a letter declining to purchase the <br />Garrity House at this time. <br />Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to adjourn at 7:40 p.m. <br />A true record, Attest: <br /> Phyllis A.
