Town Council — 2024-09-19

This document contains the Town Council agenda for September 19, 2024 (Liberty Building) and the minutes from the September 5, 2024 meeting. The September 5 minutes record that the council approved the prior meeting minutes, heard no citizens at the forum, and received a presentation from Mary Margaret Goodwin outlining detailed plans for the town’s 250th birthday (including a book, property-by-property histories, a cemetery museum concept, Wharf history, and a long parade). The council held public hearings on Ordinance 08-2024 (a six-month temporary moratorium on applications for residential or mixed-use projects exceeding seven EDUs to give the Planning Commission time to revise zoning, the Capacity Management Plan, and the Sewer Allocation Policy) and Ordinance 09-2024 (updates to town cannabis provisions to align with state law: removing medical references, matching setbacks, allowing licensed dispensaries in C2 and C3 districts, and banning smoking lounges); notices for both hearings were published in the Bay Times Record Observer and no members of the public spoke for or against them. Both ordinances are on the consent agenda for the September 19 meeting, and the agenda also lists first readings for Ordinances 10-2024 and 11-2024, an annexation and public facilities agreement item, a South Pump Station update, and regular board and department reports.
