The Aspen City Council held a closed-door meeting Monday prior to its regularly scheduled meeting. Executive sessions are closed to the public and meant to allow council to discuss legal and personnel matters, as well as negotiate the sale or lease of property.
City attorney Jim True said the afternoon meeting was scheduled to discuss undisclosed property purchases, as well as lease negotiations regarding the city-owned powerhouse property, located off of Mill Street.
The nonprofit Aspen Power Plant — a collective of work and event space, media production and a brewpub — have been given a directive from council to work out points of contention with their disgruntled Oklahoma Flats neighbors.
The Power Plant principals said they cannot set rental rates for the “incubator” workspace until they know their own monthly rent to the city.
