[X] Plan Reasoning
-[X] House Meadows
--[X] Grant the land to Grassy Vale to make it a self-governing city with city charter.
--[X] The current mayor will continue to serve in that function, taking over the powers of the lordship in accordance with the Imperial Constitution.
--[X] In the future, the Mayor will be elected by the Council in the first session after their election.
--[X] Since the first election of Voices needs to be arranged and the lawmen and bureaucrats need to be appointed and will be busy for a while, the election of the new Mayor will be postponed. It will be held 6 months after the first session of the Council to ease the transition period.
-[X] House Roxton
--[X] Keep the town under Imperial administration.
-[X] Reasoning:
--[X] This step might seem bewildering to some in Westeros, much like how the hereditary nobles you landed in Essos have been to the magisters there. The lordships of Westeros are not the city states of Essos after all. However, the magisters have seen the wisdom in those actions after some time and likewise will nobles see the wisdom of self-governing cities.
--[X] That is the promise of the Imperium. Not change for changes sake, but to improve upon what exists with measured steps. There is much that Essos and Westeros can learn from each other and if all citizens work together, pooling their experiences and knowledge, then the sum will become much greater than the constituent parts.
--[X] If somebody still has the balls and the lack of brains to openly complain, flatly tell them that the best insurance against having your fiefs seized by the crown or allowed to self-govern is to not be a traitor. There are many lords who have found not-being-a-traitor to be an overall good strategy.

-[X] House Meadows
--[X] As a gesture of encouragement for assisting the forces of the Imperium, we will transfer the lands of House Meadows to the management of Grassy Vale city.
---[X] But in six months, an audit of his actions will be conducted by the city administration and Lewys Cobbler personally.
----[X] If his actions are deemed ineffective, the city will lose control of the lands, and we will find a lord for them.
----[X] If his actions are found to be effective, the position will be permanently fixed.
----[X] Well, if Lewys Cobbler manages to impress us with his success, then we can even grant him the status of a full-fledged lord, which will be fixed for his descendants.
-----[X] With this decision, we're kind of showing the lords of Westeros that we're listening to their comments. But at the same time, we point out that we primarily value the skills of an administrator in landowners, and we can easily grant the status of an aristocracy to a third-party merchant if he does well with the duties assigned to him.
