CityCouncil | 2017-09-05 | 14 | Councilmember Matarrese accepted the friendly amendment. Mayor Spencer inquired whether there is still a December 31st deadline. Councilmember Matarrese stated the answer is unknown until staff returns to Council. The Community Development Director responded staff would still endeavor to make the deadline. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the motion is to move forward with the lab testing and manufacturing only. Councilmember Matarrese responded in the negative. Mayor Spencer inquired what the motion includes. The Community Development Director responded the motion includes taking everything, synthesizing it into a new draft ordinance, presenting the new draft ordinance at a special meeting where there will be opportunity for input and further direction. Mayor Spencer inquired on which items. The Community Development Director responded on the new draft ordinance. Mayor Spencer inquired whether every type of cannabis business would be included, to which the Community Development Director responded in the affirmative. In response to Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft's inquiry, the Community Development Director stated dispensaries, with analysis of the cash business, the cap, and medical versus recreational would all be part of the synthesis; after the feedback at a special meeting, there would be potential for staff to return an ordinance for a first and second reading within 30 days; if new issues arise or staff has missed the mark, staff can be sent back to do more work; at that point, Council may want to reevaluate direction about the January 1st deadline. Mayor Spencer inquired when the special meeting would take place. The City Clerk responded not within the next four weeks. Councilmember Oddie moved approval of calling the question. Councilmember Matarrese seconded the motion. Under discussion, Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft requested to ask one additional question.
