“Marijuana - 1 Motion: Secretary Dariis-O'Conner moved, in connection with the Board's clarifying action regarding the December 15, 2025 vote, to renew all license types for each establishment as listed on the attachment to the January 15, 2026 agenda and to clarify that such action was the intent of the Select Board's December 15, 2025 vote on license renewals. Member Rosa seconded. Prior to discussion, a point of order was raised regarding whether the motion language reflected Town Counsel's recommended wording. The Chair and Secretary Darris-O'Connor stated that the motion reflected the language provided by Town Counsel. During discussion, Member Favreau raised a point of order and a question on the motion, asking whether it was proper for the Board to vote when the license applications were not included in the meeting packet and the Board was voting based on a spreadsheet list. Secretary Darris-O'Connor and other members stated that the supporting materials were available electronically, including in the December 15, 2025 meeting materials on OneDrive, and that Town Hall staff could provide the documents if requested. Member Favreau stated that the applications were not in the current meeting packet and noted that the absence of supporting documents was part of the concern that led to the need for the clarifying vote. Secretary Darris-O'Connor then raised a point of order, stating that the Board should proceed with the vote and not continue extended debate, noting that the motion would either pass or fail and that the Board could revisit the matter if necessary. The Executive Confidential Assistant to the Select Board, Kerri Rufo, stated that the Board is permitted to vote on the renewals even if the applications are not physically included in the meeting packet. The Chair then proceeded to the vote. Darris-O'Conner Yea Favreau Nay Vice Chair Burrows Yea Rosa Yea Pavidis Yea.” (second: Rosa)
