ORDINANCE
Motion/Request:
title
MOTION to adopt a proposed "An Ordinance Establishing a Farmers Market for the Town of Ledyard" as presented in the draft dated January 17, 2024.
end
Background:
The Farmers Market Committee was initially established in 2018 per a Resolution. Because the Farmers Market Committee has been very successful, and has become an on-going Committee it was time to convert/codify the authorizing document into an Ordinance.
Resolutions are used to establish short-term Committee for specific Projects, and therefore, terms all end at the same time, which was when The project was completed.
Ordinances are used for long-term ongoing Committees, which would be more appropriate for the Farmers Market Committee.
The proposed Ordinance mirrored the "Resolution Establishing the Farmers' Market Committee" except that it has changed the Committee's Membership from Nine Regular Members to Five Regular Members and Four Alternate Members.
