EXECUTIVE SESSION
June 8, 2009
PRESENT: Chairman Cohen, Mrs. Krieger, Mr. Kelley, Mr. Manz and Mr. Burnell; Mr.
Valente, Town Manager, and Ms. Pease, Executive Clerk.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 5-0 by roll call to go in to executive session
to discuss the sale of real estate, litigation, and collective bargaining issues, with no intent to
return to open session.
Sale of Real Estate
Mr. Valente reviewed the Purchase & Sale Agreement for the Busa property and the comments
received by Busa’sattorney. Their issues include: title provisions, hazardous materials, due
diligence, closing date, lease, and naming rights. The Selectmen agreed with Town Counsel’s
recommendations. The Selectmen feel it is very important to include due diligence language in
the agreement. The Lease should include some standards for appropriate materials/chemicals
that can be used while the property is being leased back to the Busa family and it is important to
include the indemnification Town Counsel proposed. The naming rights for the property would
need to follow the Naming Policy and be mutually agreeable.
Mr. Kelley and Mr. Valente briefly discussed a meeting they had with the buyer of the adjoining
2.5-acre parcel. They are interested in selling 2 acres of the parcel to the Town as long as it is
not used for farming, but they do not want a cut throughto Farm Road or any parking. They also
do not want any testing done prior to the closing.
Litigation
Mr. Valente updated the Selectmen on the Cary Libraryconstruction projectmediation and the
proposed settlement terms.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 5-0 by roll call to authorize Town Counsel
to settle for a minimum of $100,000 with no agreement on providing a recommendation for the
architect involved.
Collective Bargaining
Mr. Valente was not ready to make a recommendation to the Selectmen regarding a wage
reopener with the Police Superior Officers Union. There are still some contract itemsto be
