The Port of Allyn was set
to vote on the final draft of a
purchase and sale agreement
for the Allyn Carey water sys—
tem at a Wednesday special
meeting occurring after the
Herald’s deadline.
Commissioners called a
special meeting Nov. 27 to
hammer out details of the
proposed contract with Jeff
Carey’s attorney and the
ports legal team.
The port is hoping to
use grant money to acquire

Carey’s system, including the
well and surrounding lots.
“A number of moving parts
remain,” said port attorney
Peter Fraley, of Ogden Mur—
phy Wallace.
The property requires a
completed boundary line ad—
justment and a vacation of an
alleyway so that it’s a com—
plete piece, Fraley told the
commissioners.
The port also needs to re-
view all the contracts and
easements currently in effect,
which hasn’t happened yet,
he said. Closing can’t hap-
pen until these contingencies

are completed, according to
Fraley.
“The port is acquiring the
assets, it's not acquiring the
business,” Fraley said. ,
Carey was hoping to close
the sale by Jan. 3.
Fraley said that seemed
“overly optimistic.”
The alley vacation approv—
al from Mason County could
take a few months. Before
closing, “a lot of work needs to
be done,” Fraley said.
Bob Houle, Carey’s attor—
ney, disagreed.
Houle said they would “have

line adjustment at closing,
but approval from the coun—
ty could take 120 days, and
isn’t needed to close the sale.
Fraley again disagreed, say-
ing the assessor and auditor
won’t accept the legal descrip-
tion of the property without
county approval of the vacat-
ed alley.
“I just want to make sure
we’re doing things right,”
Commissioner Judy Scott
said, as the attorneys tried to
find a compromise.
Fraley eventually proposed
a “two-step” property acqui-
sition, where the port would

well and do not need an alley
vacation and the other two
lots would be added later. A
holdback of money would be
transferred to Carey upon
completion of the boundary
line adjustment and convey—
ance of the two remaining
lots.
Both sides agreed to draft
a new contract with the revi—
sions. The port was set to vote
on the finalized contract, in
addition to a proposed budget,
Wednesday, Nov. 29 at a spe—
cial meeting at the port office
in Allyn.
