THEN: As noted in ALL Delegates Deserve The Royal Treatment, Kurt Reffle spoke to the Economic Development Advisory Committee for about 11 minutes and 12 seconds; only then did Chair Patricia Simone say his five minute speaking limit was up.

Also, Reffle’s delegation request form stated the item was not on the agenda, contrary to the town’s procedural by-law. (He was speaking about Murray Street).

Reffle delegated because ‘after the heritage district was created and you were looking for ideas I said, well, I’m coming.’

NOW: “Should you wish you delegate regarding the merits of closing Murray Street, the appropriate time would be when this report is completed and presented to the Economic Development Advisory Committee for discussion.”
