From medical marijuana, to an interim finance director, to Annual Town Meeting dates and more, Wayland selectmen handled a number of key topics at their Thursday night meeting.
Selectmen Doug Leard was not present for the Nov. 1 meeting. Moderator Dennis Berry urged selectmen to set the dates for the 2013 Annual Town Meeting sooner than the Dec. 13 legal deadline. He also pointed out that Wayland historically takes four days to complete its Annual Town Meeting, but four days in a row is too much for many people. "Four nights in a row is unacceptable – it’s just too much," Berry said, and selectmen agreed. "What [the Town Meeting Procedures Subcommittee] had suggested was a schedule something like Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday. It’s about the best we thought we could do."

The Danforth Housing Project is in Framingham, but just over the Wayland line on Old Connecticut Path.
Wayland’s Board of Selectmen Monday night learned about the current status of a project last in discussion several years ago.
