Ms. Crank then inquired ifeach merchant was required to pay the $50 fee. Ms. Roche responded that she was unsure about this year's specifics but clarified that itv would not be $50 per business. Instead, one person would need to be designated as the contact or the representative for the organization hosting the event. Ms. Roche explained that an application is necessary only ifthe event is held in public spaces that affect the right ofway or streets; ifit takes place within a business, it will not require an application. Ms. Crank sought clarification about whether the Small-Town Christmas event would incur charges, given it did not affect the right of way or streets. Town Attorney Bowman noted that he was not familiar with the event but stated that ifit impacted public safety and attracted more than 50 attendees, they would need to apply and pay the fee. The council members deliberated and recognized that the event typically draws a large crowd. Councilperson Estes pointed out that hay bales and a fire pit were present, while Councilperson Mathias observed that attendees often crowded the streets and sidewalks, with Carolers also performing. Ms. Crank explained that the event's popularity led to a large turnout but emphasized that they would advise attendees to remain on their property or within their businesses. Mayor Jackson concluded that the final hearing was intended to gather public comments regarding amendments to the Town fee schedule. Ms. Roche noted that most of these issues were addressed within the ordinances themselves, but they wanted to formally present them for discussion.

Town Manager Borne affirmed and that there was no action for tonight, this wasj just the presentation. Mr. Borne explained that a Master Plan is only a policy document, it is not a force of law, it is a guide for future development, and nothing is legally binding. It provides a framework for your zoning ordinances and then the zoning ordinances would be legally enforceable. A Master Plan does not result in any immediate changes to anything that is in the plan. It just outlines and identifies long term goals, strategies and usually requires further planning and legislative action. Any zoning changes require a formal process with legislative approval to make that change. Ms. Roche introduced Andrew Kohr from POND and turned the presentation over to him.
