The purchase agreement has been reviewed by the DSTI legal counsel. Mr. Dickinson provided the EDA with a complete purchase agreement as a supplemental. Mr. Dickinson reviewed the purchase agreement changes. The Hazardous Waste Issues section of the purchase agreement was discussed. Commissioner Trude stated she is concerned with the length of 10 years after the date of closing that the City is responsible for any hazardous waste cleanup. She would like to limit the responsibility to 5 years. Mr. Dickinson stated the same language was used in the other two DSTI purchase agreements for Andover Station North, except the length of coverage was less. Commissioner Howard stated he is fine with the 10 years, he believes DSTI will build within 5 years then the City's responsibility would be 12 months after construction. This would bring the City's responsibility of cleanup to about 6 -7 years, not 10. The majority of Commissioners agreed.
