Description
A voting hearing of the Boston Cannabis Board was held virtually on July 21, 2021.
B
Just
give
it
a
moment
for
everyone
to
come
in
from
the
waiting
room
good
afternoon.
This
is
a
hearing
before
the
boston
cannabis
board.
Today
is
wednesday
july
21st
2021.
Today's
hearing
is
being
conducted
pursuant
to
certain
temporary
amendments
to
the
open
meeting
law.
That
is
what
allows
us
to
meet.
Virtually
this
hearing
will
be
recorded
and
will
be
posted
to
the
city's
website.
A
B
Thank
you.
I
will
read
the
item
into
the
record,
after
which
I
will
ask
for
comments
from
the
chairwoman
commissioners,
after
which
I
will
ask
if
there
are
any,
if
there
is
a
motion,
whether
there
are
any
questions
on
the
motion
and
then
we
will
move
forward.
As
a
reminder,
the
each
commissioner
has
the
ability
to
grant
to
grant
conditionally,
pending
additional
information
or
another
item,
to
reject
to
reject
with
prejudice
which
does
not
allow
the
applicant
to
reapply
for
one
year
or
to
defer
which
would
move
this
vote
to
another
agenda.

Thank
you.
Yes,
I
agree
with
my
fellow
commissioners
very
strong
application.
I
particularly
like
the
home
ownership
program
that
was
very
helpful,
given
the
rising
cost
here
in
boston
overall,
just
high
scores
community
support,
there
was
virtually
no
opposition,
it
was
really
great
application.
So
thank
you
so
much.
I
agree
with
my
fellow
commissioners.
B
B
All
right,
all
in
favor-
and
there
are
none
opposed
opposed.
This
license-
is
granted
conditionally
pending
obtaining
the
half-mile
buffer
zone
variants
from
the
zoning
board
of
appeals
on
old
and
new
business.
The
public
comment
period
regarding
the
proposed
amendment
to
the
rules
and
regulations
regarding
delivery
is
closed.
All
all
of
the
comments
received
have
been
provided.
B
For
the
board's
consideration
was
that
with
the
courier
and
delivery
cert
license
types
coming
online
that
if
someone
was
located
outside
of
the
city
of
boston,
the
board
would
have
no
regulatory
oversight
over
those
establishments
specifically
coming
into
the
dispensaries
located
within
the
city
of
boston,
and
there
were
some
concerns
about
queuing
and
kind
of
making
sure
that
the
board
was
aware
of
what
the
specific
plan
for
each
of
these
was
going
to
be.
So
that's
that's
kind
of
the
background.
Are
there
any
questions
about
the
draft
amendment?

A
Women
joyce.
I
just
think
this
strengthens
our
rules
and
regulations
as
a
board
and
I'm
happy
to
see
that
we
are
able
to
to
have
this
comment
period.
I
think
it
was
missing
in
our
original
muslim
regulations
and
it
provides
predictability
and
a
little
bit
of
a
little
bit
of
control
from
the
neighborhood,
and
I
think
those
two
things
are
very
important
as
we
roll
out
even
more
establishments
throughout
the
city.
