An Act authorizing the commissioner of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance to grant certain easements to the town of Bourne
This bill authorizes Massachusetts' commissioner of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance to grant easements on Commonwealth-owned armory land in Bourne to the town of Bourne. The easements specifically allow Bourne to install, maintain, and repair subsurface waterlines on the property, with boundaries determined by survey. The town must cover all costs (engineering, surveys, appraisals), and the easement value must be based on fair market value or use value, reviewed by the inspector general. If the waterline purpose changes, the easement reverts to the Commonwealth, with strict conditions for termination.
