FARMINGTON Selectmen on Tuesday night scheduled a special Town Meeting for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 25, for voters to act on ordinance amendments.
Prior to setting the date, selectmen approved amendments to several ordinances.
A section was added to the Adult Use and Medical Marijuana Ordinance to clarify the responsibility of marijuana licensees/permittees in making prompt, timely payment for licenses/permits and the consequences of not doing so.
Applicants unconditionally promise to pay the town upon approval by municipal officers of their application, Town Manager Richard Davis said. If the fee remains unpaid for 30 days the license is revoked, the permit goes to the bottom of the list and they lose their slot, he noted.

The Kittery Water District would like to publicly restate their commitment to doing the work of the public in public, and to invite anyone concerned about transparency or public participation to reach out to us. We want to make sure our customers understand that we are beholden to them.
As a public utility we are also answerable to The Maine Public Utilities Commission. No changes can be made to water rates without going through their process and getting approval. All rate changes need to be justified with a Rate Analysis. This analysis is done on a regular basis.
