Background:
The Town Council has been working to draft "An Ordinance Establishing a Farmers Market for the Town of Ledyard" which will replace the current Resolution, which had initially established the Committee in 2018.
The Ordinance has been scheduled to be presented at a Public Hearing on March 13, 2024, with a vote to adopt the proposal thereafter.
The proposed "An Ordinance Establishing a Farmers Market for the Town of Ledyard" would change the current membership structure from current Nine Regular Members to Five Regular Members and Four Alternate Members.
In addition, upon the adoption of the Ordinance the Committee Members are required to be appointed (reappointed) to implement staggered terms to avoid all Committee Members terms from ending at the same time, to provide for continuity.
In preparation for the implementation of the new Ordinance, the Farmers' Market Committee forwarded recommendations for Regular Members and Alternate Members from their current Roster. (Please see attached memo dated 2/6/2024)
