A couple of months
ago I was advised by a neighbor of the city owned former Textron
property on Nelson Ave. that a local trucking company was parking a
lot of truck there. I noted that city council had not passed a
resolution approving an agreement. I asked the Mayor's office if
Sewell's trucking had a contract agreement to rent the property. I
was informed at that time that an agreement was in the works and that
I would receive a copy of the agreement after it was signed. After
waiting more than a month I again asked the public records official
if a contract actually existed she replied that it had. At the same
time the Law Director advised that, if there was a signed agreement,
he had not seen it. The major concern is that without an agreement
the city could be liable for any accident involving the tenant
occurring on the property.
I feel fairly
confidant that a city councilman's hire by Sewell at about the same
time is not a factor in this mystery.
