The special council meeting to discuss the possibility of a cannabis dispensary in town is now scheduled to take place on March 29, Councilwoman Eve Niedergang said in an email to residents. Niedergang is also the chair of the Cannabis Task Force (CTF).
The meeting will begin at 7 p.m., and one hour will be allocated for presentations by members of the CTF and others. "Members of this group (or others they would like to work with or who express an interest in being involved, or any outside experts, paid or unpaid) can take up to 30 minutes total (combined) to present the points that they would like considered," Niedergang said.
After all presentations are done, the floor will open for public comment. Each speaker will be given no more than three minutes, with each person having one opportunity to speak. "The presenters will be able to stay (or return to the screen) for the public comment section of the meeting so that they can respond to questions," Niedergang said. The meeting will be run by Mayor Mark Freda who will recognize the speakers.
