PARIS — Selectmen and the Planning Board will hold a workshop Monday at 6 p.m. before the regular selectmen’s meeting to discuss the proposed Medical Marijuana Dispensary Ordinance.
The Board of Selectmen viewed a draft of the ordinance at the March 14 meeting and discussed several possible changes to the wording. Planning Board Chairman Robert Kirchherr wasn’t present at that meeting to discuss the draft.
The current draft requires a nonrefundable application fee of $5,000 and an annual registration fee of at least $5,000. Other rules govern security and alarm systems at a marijuana dispensary.
Selectmen will also discuss a draft of the Sign Ordinance and the Site Plan Review Ordinance.
The Paris Fire Department has received a $190,000 grant for a new tanker truck. The department is asking selectmen to vote to accept the grant as well as another $31,760 from the Fire Department Capital Improvement Account to pay for a $221,760 tanker truck.
Town Manager Phil Tarr will update the board on leaving Northeast Bank as well as a lawsuit by residents of Town Farm Estates and Town Farm Road pressuring the town to take responsibility for Town Farm Road.
Selectmen are scheduled to set the town meeting date. Also on the agenda is the naming of a new road, Sawmill Lane, off Brett Hill Road.
The board will meet at 7 p.m. Monday at the town office after the 6 p.m. workshop with the Planning Board.
