To the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives,

 

Pursuant to the provisions of Article II, Section 8, Paragraph 1, Clause (2) of the Amendments to the Constitution, as appearing in Article LXXXIX of said Amendments, I am filing for your consideration the attached legislation entitled, “An Act Relative to the Conveyance of a Certain Parcel of Land by the Town of Deerfield.”

The Deerfield Selectboard requests that I file this special legislation on behalf of the Town of Deerfield.  The Town has approved the sale and development of two parcels of land located in Deerfield’s Expedited Permitting District to New England Natural Bakers.

The Town learned, however, that a statutory procurement provision requiring two published legal notices was not met in connection with the anticipated sale of one of the two parcels. In addition to posting notice in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Central Registry, Deerfield published notice of the relevant Request for Proposal in the Greenfield Recorder on December 29, 2014, without repeating publication the next week as required.  This legislation would allow the Town to proceed with the approved transaction, conveying clear, marketable title to the property to the buyer. 

I urge your early and favorable consideration of this bill.

Respectfully submitted,

 

Charles D. Baker,

Governor
