TOWN ATTORNEY'S REPORT

- Attorney Mike Chesser has reviewed the Porpoise Point agreement that was submitted to the town by Wayne Warner.  He stated that it was comparable to the agreement the town had with Myron Tassin but Attorney Chesser suggested that Mr. Warner make the agreement between each of the owners or their successors in interest so they will be able to sell the property without having to redraft this agreement.  He also recommended making the agreement a recordable document so that it will be recorded in the public records at the clerk’s office and when the property is sold, the agreement becomes part of the conveyance.

- Attorney Chesser has called Rob Harrell’s office to get an answer to the last proposal ($400,000) but he will be gone until next Monday.

- Town Manager Tom Burns stated that he would like Attorney Chesser to look over a school board agreement that was just brought into town hall.  Manager Burns will make him a copy to take with him.
