Title
Marijuana Moratorium Discussion
Body
Summary and Background Information:
On July 10, 2023, City Council passed Ordinance 2527. This ordinance enacted a twelve-month moratorium on new retail and medical marijuana store license in Wards I and II in the City. The moratorium is set to expire on July 31, 2024. City Council will need to determine if they want the moratorium to lapse and allow licenses to be issues in Wards I and II after July 31, or if they want to extend the moratorium for another twelve-month period. Based on Council's decision, the City Clerk's Office will schedule an ordinance for first reading in June and second reading in July before the moratorium's expiration to either extend the moratorium or allow it to lapse. The presentation includes supplemental information on slides after the "Discussion" slide for review.
