AGENDA ACTION REQUEST

April 13, 2006

Float Space Transfers

Requested by: Harbormaster                   Action Sought:  Approve Float Ownership Transfer

Proposed Motion(s)

MOVE that the Provincetown Public Pier Corporation approve the transfer of ownership interests in Float Space 8W pursuant to Chapter 91 Special Condition 7.

Additional Information

Request for one owner to buy out their respective partners.  8W transfers 50% share from E. Brooke to Candace Nagle.  Special Condition 7 of our Chapter 91 License controls this request.  The Board of Selectmen transferred the responsibility of transfer approvals to PPPC in the lease.

 

No ownership interest in an operator shall be transferred, and no stock in a corporate operator shall be transferred, pledged or issued without first obtaining the permission of the Board of Selectmen.  The word ‘transfer’ shall mean any conveyance of use, control, ownership, or beneficial interest by sale, assignment, gift, pledge, lease, or contract.  Within fourteen days after receipt of any such application, the Board of Selectmen shall cause a notice thereon to be published at the expense of the applicant.  The notice shall set forth the name of the applicant, and specify the nature of the transfer.  The Board of Selectmen may deny the application only if either the transferor or transferee has been convicted of a felony or if either party owes state or local taxes, fees or assessments.  Approval of any such transfer by the Board shall transfer to the resulting operator all of the rights, duties, obligations, and privileges of its transferor under this license. (emphasis added)

 

Staff has filed the appropriate requests to ascertain if the parties have been convicted of felonies or owe back taxes.  Staff has determined that the two parties neither owe back taxes or have been convicted of any felonies.
