Select Board Items For Consideration
Adopt the proposed goals for FY22
Mr. Cunningham moved that they adopt the proposed goals for FY22.
From the minutes
“Mr. Cunningham moved that they adopt the proposed goals for FY22. Mr. Degen seconded the motion. Mr. Cunningham asked about including marijuana on goal #4 having to do with promoting economic development. Ms. Pine said she didn't remember having the conversation specifically about marijuana. Mr. Cunningham said it was something he thought the Board should consider as a potential warrant article. Mr. Degen said that if they had a warrant article drafted to review, they should consider adding it. He said that people were going to the neighboring towns and didn't think they should dismiss the possibility of allowing this in Groton as a source of potential revenue. Ms. Manugian said she thought it made sense to talk about it but wasn't sure there was going to be enough time to present it to the Town this fall but was worth talking about it. Ms. Pine said she thought the way the goals were written; it could be included as a means of finding potential revenue means. Roll Call: Cunningham-aye; Degen-aye; Pine-aye; Manugian-aye; Reilly-aye.” (Motion: Cunningham, second: Degen)
