The 193rd General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts

AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE DIVISION OF CAPITAL ASSET MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE TO GRANT A SEWER EASEMENT UNDER CERTAIN LAND IN THE TOWN OF TEWKSBURY

     Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to authorize forthwith the division of capital asset management and maintenance to grant a sewer easement in certain land to the town of Tewksbury, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.

     Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same as follows:
     SECTION 1. Notwithstanding sections 32 to 37, inclusive, of chapter 7C of the General Laws or any other general or special law to the contrary, the commissioner of capital asset management and maintenance may convey, for nominal consideration, to the town of Tewksbury a nonexclusive easement interest in a portion of a parcel of land located under the Livingston recreational fields, such fields being shown on a plan of land titled “Tewksbury Athletic Fields, Livingston Street, Tewksbury, Massachusetts” which was authorized to be conveyed to the town pursuant to section 1 of chapter 244 of the acts of 2010.  The easement shall be used for sewer purposes.
     SECTION 2.  If the town of Tewksbury agrees to accept the grant of easement under section 1, then the town shall assume the costs associated with any engineering, surveys, deed preparation and other expenses deemed necessary by the commissioner of capital asset management and maintenance and shall assume the costs of recording the survey plan and easement deed with the Middlesex northern district registry of deeds.
