Review of Minutes

1. Gregg moved to accept the minutes of the October 21, 2020; M. Gammal second. All in favor.

 

New Business

1. Taylor-Varney asked the Commission if the Town should consider a fireworks ordinance or bylaw, or to require a permit. J. Shaw said that it was his understanding that personal use of fireworks is not permitted by the State and that only organizations with ATF permits can have them. This may need to be researched more to confirm the State’s regulations.  The ZA receives numerous complaints about fireworks each summer.

 

Administrator’s Report
