15 <br /> Board of Selectmen <br /> Minutes <br /> August 24, 2020 <br /> Update on Host Community Agreement Process: Town Planner Evan Lehrer (Continued from 8-10-2020 <br /> Meetingh <br /> Evan Lehrer, Town Planner was in attendance to review inquiries which resulted from the Selectmen's Meeting <br /> of August 10, 2020. In particular there were questions regarding the Delivery-only of Marijuana Establishment <br /> licenses. <br /> After consulting with Town Counsel Mr. Lehrer indicated the Delivery-only licenses are offered only to <br /> "Economic Empowerment" certified applications for a minimum of two years. Economic Empowerment would <br /> include eligible minority owned businesses and women-owned businesses. <br /> In mid-July the Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) issued Guidance slated for the purposes of license <br /> limitations. <br /> Delivery-only licenses are separate from retail licenses however ambiguity within the statute remains as to <br /> whether or not, for the purposes of license limitations, a deliver-only license would be considered "retail" at the <br /> local level. This is now a mute issue in the Town of Mashpee as the only "retail" license has been issued. <br /> The state limits an entity from obtaining more than (3) retail licenses through the Commonwealth, and for the <br /> purposes of this limitation, a delivery-only license is considered "retail"per CCC guidance. <br /> It was agreed the staff would continue with the process as outlined at the last meeting. It was determined a copy <br /> of Town Counsel's email would be forwarded to the Cannabis Control Commission. <br /> Discussion and Approval of Advisory Letter on Santuit Pond Water Quality: Town Manager Rodney Collins: <br /> Town Manager Rodney C.
