MATTERS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES
The Seaside Heritage Hall has a potential sale, and the terms of the offer included that the contents and artifacts remain. It was the consensus of Council that legal advice be obtained before signing the agreement, as Council would like to see the artifacts remain the property of the Town, bur is willing to allow the new owner(s) to display them for the purpose of a museum. The terms of the agreement did not include a down payment, which Council felt would show that the buyer(s) is/are sincere in the purchasing of the building.
Being duly moved and seconded, Council asked for a fifteen hundred dollar ($1,500) down payment. Motion carried, with Mayor Kenney being against the motion.
REPORTS:
