I see that the Town of Elmira posted their adoption to their E-Code online system - https://ecode360.com/EL2935/search?query=cannabis&scope=all&sortOrder=relevance And so did the Town of Southport - https://ecode360.com/37967424 I looked at a few other muni websites, but most don't appear to use the E-Code system, hence it becomes difficult to cull that information.

As an aside, here is a guide compiled by the NYS Association of Towns, covering the MRTA. https://www.townofguilderland.org/sites/g/files/vyhlif7546/f/uploads/cannabis_guide_for_towns_2021_1.pdf

Good info Kathleen. And CCIG will be happy to ask OCM. 🙂

People in Dansville vote to clear way for cannabis dispensaries, consumption sites. Citizen action still works! https://www.eveningtribune.com/story/news/2022/02/16/dansville-referendum-votes-cannabis-dispensaries-consumption-sites-marijuana/6811727001/?fbclid=IwAR1FoBUk4I7jwGMzWegXZRdKYmHm2DTV_U2oU68_newouJmOzRoahY6B1M0

Just an fyi on a FB page I started, to provide up to date cannabis news and information related to New York. Chemung Cannabis Information Group - https://www.facebook.com/chemungcig

Correct, the city of Elmira did. My point here is that Jamestown is really highlighting this aspect.

The City of Jamestown has assumed a very proactive position regarding appealing to cannabis growers to come to their city. https://www.jamestownny.gov/cannabis/

The website also has a video narrative from Talima Aaron, President of the John W. Jones Museum Board, discussing the life of John W. Jones.

Regarding video public comments, I don't believe it would be submission of produced videos, but enabling functionality that would allow citizens to appear on screen and their public comments would be exhibited. I'm mentioning it because Chairman Manchester brought it up and it requires an explanation to the public of the status. Letting it go without proper explanation by the Chairman is not acceptable.

Also, the John W. Jones Museum website is https://www.johnwjonesmuseum.org/

The other item too, that's not to be forgotten, Chairman Manchester said that they were working on an accomodation to the video system, that would allow citizens to provide a video public comment. Maybe some people are still not comfortable going to a meeting, but would like to provide a video comment? Are any legislators shepherding that add on for public service?

In honor of Black History Month, please view the "online virtual tour" of the John W. Jones museum in Elmira. The museum is closed for the season until June, so enjoy this glimpse into the home of John W. Jones, a man that was a vital part of the Underground Railroad. https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=YywKFx36u6z&help=1&ts=1
