WHEREAS, the purchase of the Pomerance portion was completed and financed in 2000; and
WHEREAS, the Tuchman portion has been the subject of a partition action recently concluded in the Appellate Division of the Connecticut Superior Court on November 30, 2005; and
WHEREAS, the Town has entered into a contract for the purchase of two-thirds of the Tuchman property at a purchase price of $8,666,666.66; and
WHEREAS, the Town has determined that is beneficial for the Town to issue its obligations to the open-market in a competitive offering instead of to the sellers of the Tuchman property at six and fifty hundredths per centum(6.50%) per annum;
NOW THEREFOR BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
The Resolution is hereby amended to delete the requirement that the notes be issued to the sellers of the land and the requirement that the Board of Estimate and Taxation shall determine the details of the issuance and sale of the notes and to insert in lieu thereof the following:
“Not exceeding $8,888,000 of the appropriation may be financed by the issuance of bonds to be sold by the Town in a competitive offering at the lowest true interest cost to the Town. The bonds are authorized to be issued in one or more series, maturing in substantially equal annual installments of principal, provided the final installment shall be due not later than five years from date. The bonds shall be in the denomination of $1,000 or a whole multiple thereof, be issued in fully registered form, be executed in the name and on behalf of the Town by the facsimile or manual signatures of the Chairman of the Board of Estimate and Taxation, and the Treasurer, and countersigned by the Comptroller, have the seal of the Town affixed and attested by the Town Clerk, be certified by a bank or trust company, and be approved as to their legality by Robinson & Cole LLP. The bonds shall be general obligations of the Town and each of the bonds shall recite that every requirement of law relating to its issue has been duly complied with, that such bond or note is within every debt and other limit prescribed by law.. The aggregate principal amount of the bonds of each series to be issued, the date, time of issue and sale and other terms, details and particulars of such bonds, including approval of the rate or rates of interest payable thereon, shall be determined by the Chairman of the Board of Estimate and Taxation, the Treasurer and the Comptroller.”

17. To consider and act upon the following resolution, requested by twenty registered voters.
"Whereas, the B.E.T. removed all funding for tiered parking (outside the new police-fire complex) from the 2006-2007 budget,
"Whereas, the B.E.T. allowed an allocation of $690,000 for architectural and engineering studies for tiered parking to be transferred from the 2005-2006 budget to the 2006-2007 budget,
"Whereas, there is considerable opposition throughout the Town of Greenwich to the building of any more tiered parking,
"Therefore, it is the sense of the meeting of the Greenwich Representative Town Meeting that none of the $690,000.00 be spent until a final decision has been made by the R.T.M. as to whether there will be any additional tiered parking at all in downtown Greenwich."
