February 16, 2017Town Council Workshop Meeting Minutes A. · Visioning For Next Two Years - Acquisition of Property Mayor Bell explained that this is a visioning session and she is asking for the opinion and direction of the Town Council as to whether they have any interest in acquiring land. The Town Manager identified parcels within Cutler Bay, whether or not they are for sale, and provided a map to help facilitate the Town Council in identifying parcels of vacant land. Mayor Bell suggested that it will be beneficial if each Council Member to talk individually with the Town Manager and to identify parcels of interest. After discussion, there was concensus that the Town Council Members individually will provide the Town Manager with a list of up to five parcels of interest. By consensus, the Town Council agreed that the Mayor, Town Manager and Town Attorney may go forward with parcels identified to the Town Manager, negotiate a price and bring the information back to the Town Council.
