In the discussion that followed, the following points were made: It was not mandatory that the property be put out for bid; it could be listed with a broker; having a broker involved would be helpful in determining the market and setting a price even if the property were put out to bid; listing with a broker would reach more potential buyers than putting it out to bid; the goal should be to maximize the sale price and add the property to the tax rolls. It was also suggested that a long term lease might be investigated if the town wanted to retain ownership and still have income. Vote 3-2-0 (Barnes and Rines opposed). 1.
