The following action was taken on the <br /> Articles; <br /> Article#9: To see if the Town will vote to adopt a Bylaw to prohibit the operation of <br /> recreational/non-medical marijuana establishments and marijuana retailers within the Town. <br /> The article explanation was amended under the definition, last sentence of the last paragraph to <br /> read: The definition does not include Registered Medical Mar Juana Dispensaries as defined in <br /> Section .174-24 (J) of the Mashpee Code. <br /> Discussion followed with respect to the intent of the article and the impact if this was adopted by <br /> a vote of Town Meeting. With the magnitude of the wastewater implementation program, this is <br /> an opportunity to bring forth additional revenue to the Town of Mashpee. The benefit the Town <br /> would lose from one retail facility is approximately $ 2 to $4 million dollars annually. Revenue <br /> received from the host Mashpee Medical Marijuana facility is far less than revenue that would be <br /> taken in from a retail establishment. <br /> Motion made by Mr. Ryan to not support Article 49 as written. <br /> Motion seconded by Mr. McCahill, <br /> VOTE: 5-2. Motion carries to not prohibit. <br /> Roll Call Vote: <br /> Mr. Richardson,yes Mr. Pettengill,yes Mr. Ryan,yes <br /> Mr. Avis, no Mr. McKelvey, no Mr. McCahill, yes <br /> Mrs. Furbush,yes Opposed, (2) <br />
