Town Council hears of update on Open Space, discusses flag policy and leans toward an ad-hoc cmte to resolve that topic (audio)

FM #981 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 981 in the series. 

This session of the radio show shares the Town Council meeting held in Council Chambers on Wednesday, April 26, 2023. All 9 members of the Council were present in the Council Chambers.

Quick recap:

• A License ownership transfer and change for the alcohol license at 7-11 Union St was approved

• Farmers Market alcohol license for La Cantina Winery was approve

• Conservation Agent Breeka Li Goodlander provided an update on the progress for the Open Space & Recreation Plan that is in process, 2 public hearings completed, a series of focus group meetings continuing, the final public hearing to review the draft plan is scheduled in June

• The proposal for enabling the raising of the Pride Flag for June prompted a discussion on the viability of such a measure given the developing legal status and the fear it would open the door for other flags that many folks would not approve of. It generally was a rather good civil conversation except for the last commenter. The general consensus was for appointment of an ad-hoc subcommittee to further address the proposal for fute, especially since the current June Pride situation can be worked around satisfactorily

• Approval for additional ARPA funding from Norfolk County was received

The recording runs about 2 hours and 15 minutes. Let’s listen to the Town Council meeting on April 26, 2023.
