Commissioners – Consider Airport Land Acquisition Documents
Chairman Basse welcomed Joe and Charlie Holden to the meeting and thanked them for their attendance to sign the Memoranda of Agreement between Holden Land Company, LLC, Joseph Holden and the Hot Springs County Board of Commissioners. Chairman Basse explained that the MOA's were prepared in advance by the County's attorney, Larry Jones in cooperation with Mr. Holden's attorney, Reneé L. Coppock and all parties had agreed to the language. The MOA's spell out the purchase agreement for property owned by Mr. Holden for the future Hot Springs County Airport. Chairman Basse noted that action by the Board is not necessary due to the fact that prior motions to enter into this agreement had already been passed by this Board. Mr. Holden took a moment to review the two MOA's and then signed two copies of each as did Chairman Basse. The Commissioners thanked Mr. Holden and wished him the best with his new ranch in Montana and Mr. Holden thanked the Commissioners for their support of his move.
The final closing will be held either on March 20, 2012 at the regular Commissioners meeting or March 23, 2012 if documents are not ready by the meeting on the 20th.
