RESIGNING AGREEMENT REGARDING SOLAR PROJECTS:
Resolution # 386-2018:

A Motionwas made by Councilman Drabkin that;

Whereas, The Town entered into that certain Option and Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) with Borrego Solar Systems, Inc. (“Borrego”) on July 10, 2017, which Borrego subsequently assigned on June 7, 2018 in that certain Assignment and Assumption Agreement to Off Airport Road – West, LLC, but inadvertently wrote in the name Off Airport Road West Solar, LLC in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, which was agreed and accepted by the Town. and

Whereas; On November 1, 2018, the Town entered into a (i) First Amendment of Lease, (ii) Memorandum of Commitment and (iii) Memorandum of Option and Lease which was subsequently recorded on November 20, 2018, as Instrument number 2018-16120 in the Ulster County Clerk’s Office, and (iv) License Agreement (Mine) which was subsequently recorded on November 20, 2018, as Instrument number 2018-16121 in the Ulster County Clerk’s Office (collectively, the “Documents”).
