Town Clerk Claire Davis updated members of Brigg Town Council at September's meeting "about the possible lease of the Green from North Lincolnshire Council."
The Year 2000 project was originally overseen by a trust which arranged grass cutting and tidying.
However, negotiations relating to the lease have been ongoing for months, and it is proving a complex issue.
Coun Carl Sherwood, who is a cabinet member of the unitary authority as well as being a member of Brigg Town Council, told Monday night's meeting in the Angel Suite that he would contact North Lincolnshire Council's legal department.
Coun Rob Waltham, deputy leader of the unitary council and a town councillor, confirmed: "The freehold is held by North Lincolnshire Council."
He suggested convening a meeting between both councils to move things forward.

Not really the magnet, nor the most attractive feature of the town.
It has potential, but to me, the MG seems to have been left half finished.
For example, what us the purpose of the mound? It's difficult to mow and apart from playing King of the Castle, it distracts from the potential attractiveness of the park.
The MG needs simple re-designing...more flower beds: small play area for kids...and get rid of the mound.
It also the potential site for Joe public to hire rowing boats/canoes to mess about on the river.
