Everything will be integrated with the schools. Incoming kindergartners will receive a folder inviting them to participate. Caleigh is also working with the high school librarian to encourage summer reading since typically this initiative ends after middle school.
Minutes: The minutes of the March 2nd meeting were approved.
Report of the Board Members:
Amanda: Amanda shared a photo of a library kiosk in Worcester. She wondered if a kiosk might be a good option for Franklin’s two MBTA stations. Felicia will investigate the costs of kiosks, which need to be protected from the elements and have a power source. However, she warned that the maintenance can be harrowing.

Commission unanimously voted to spend $71.00 for this action.

NEW BUSINESS
Discuss prohibiting the sale of mind altering products
Director Liberty noted that several tobacco retail stores are selling mind altering products such as
Kratom and Psychedelic mushroom candy bars. These products are being sold as “natural” but
we recently learned on a webinar that the mind altering products such as Kratom are a synthetic
opioid that can be addictive and are packaged to attract youth. Director Liberty showed a power
point depicting the issue of mind altering products' rise in sales and the impending public health
crisis they are causing. The board had much discussion thereof as to what other towns and cities
are doing to avert the crisis.
►MOTION to write a draft regulation based on North Hampton’s Novel intoxicating
products regulation that the board can review at the next meeting so they can hold an open
forum at the May meeting. MOTION by Mu-Chow. SECOND by Daddario. ►Discussion:
Member Daddario noted that using Novel intoxicating products or substances to catch as many
products now or in the future should be included in the regulation.

A. 81-P ANR: 78 & 79 Populatic Street
Mr. Maglio said he had no issues; it looks like they are just switching one corner of the parcel for another
corner.
Mr. Ted Lyzenga from Tilton & Associates representing Bright Ideas by JRP LLC said they are doing a
parcel swap. Both parcels are non-buildable and the same land area, so it does not affect the size of the
existing lots. He explained the purpose which is that there is an existing driveway that is crossing over the
realty trust’s lot. The intent is to swap the parcels to relocate the driveway.

Agricultural Commission
Agricultural Commission to discuss Right-to-Farm designation with Town Administrator
The Franklin Agricultural Commission is meeting with the Town Administrator to discuss three topics: making Franklin a Right-to-Farm town, the Commission's use of land, and a future community canning center. No votes or decisions are scheduled; the meeting is solely for discussion.
- Discussion of designating Franklin as a Right-to-Farm town
- Discussion of the Agricultural Commission's use of town land
- Discussion of establishing a future community canning center
agricultural-commissionright-to-farmland-usecommunity-canningfranklin-matown-administrator
✓ Decidido: Agricultural Commission discussed right‑to‑farm by‑law and land use
The commission explained the Right‑to‑Farm by‑law and the town administrator said his understanding differed, agreeing to research it. The administrator said no town land is currently available for commission use and noted Schmidt’s Farm will not be usable for several years. He also said a community canning center would need private funding.

Building Present: Jamie Hellen – Town Administrator, Marian Szymanski, C.J.
Koshivas, Benjamin Rousseau, and Jen Anderson Sweeney
Discussion Topics:
A. Making Franklin, MA a Right-to-Farm Town-
The Ag Commission explained what the “Right-To-Farm” By-law means and
what it would do for the town of Franklin. Jamie Hellen’s understanding of the
By-law was not the same as the Commission’s. Jamie Hellen agreed to do some
research into this By-law. The Town Administrator suggested the possibility of
creating a customized By-law that could prevent some of the opposition he
predicted would come from other Boards, Commissions, and Committees in the
town.
B. Ag Commission’s use of land-
The Town Administrator listened to our reasons for wanting the use of some
town land, but explained that, at this time, there is no land available for our use.
The property, known as, “Schmidt’s Farm”, will not be a possibility for several
years – as construction on the property is a year and a half away from
beginning. There is currently no sewer and no water on the property.
The Ag Commission suggested the possibility of creating produce gardens at our
local schools. Marian will connect with the people in charge of the grounds at
Franklin’s schools.
C. Future Community Canning center-

within 36 months in which they are prohibited to sell tobacco products for a number of

Charleen: Charleen is serving as treasurer of the town’s 250th Celebration Committee and shared that it requires a lot of time. She regrets that she is unable to attend the Friends’ meetings going forward, except perhaps occasionally, due to the time commitment of the committee.
