Town Counsel advised that the Lot Release was factually incorrect and advised Board not sign it. Closing schedule for next week, but Board not meeting again until April 13. (CB) said Board could endorse the Agreement subject to making the exhibit corrections to the satisfaction of Modzelewski but that does not get them to where they need to be because of the Lot Release issue. Fulton asked if Board would approve the Lot Release subject to Town Counsel approving the revisions and recommending it be signed. Board not comfortable with this course of action. Administrator explained conversation with Town Counsel and Modzelewski—Town Counsel is not advising Board to sign or to not sign the agreement —he is fine with the Agreement. Modzelewski is not fine with the exhibits — this information was forwarded to the attorney handling this for SSG who apparently has forwarded this to the engineers. Town Counsel advised that if the Board decides to sign the Agreement — it can be signed with the understanding that it will be held in the Town Hall until Modzelewski has reviewed all the exhibit changes AND the Agreement to make sure the exhibits are referenced correctly in the Agreement.
