Council approves new recreational marijuana rules and a package of equipment, fees and settlements in unanimous votes
Summary
Twinsburg City Council voted 5-0 on multiple emergency ordinances and resolutions March 25, including a new recreational marijuana business chapter, a grant application, an ambulance letter of intent, equipment purchases, a downtown property transfer authorization (first reading) and a settlement agreement.
Twinsburg City Council on March 25 voted unanimously on several emergency ordinances and resolutions and recorded a first reading for a proposed real-estate exchange with the school district.
Key outcomes:
- Ordinance 22 20 25: Council adopted an ordinance enacting a new Chapter 7.73 (regulation of recreational marijuana businesses in the business regulations code) as an emergency. Vote: 5-0.
- Resolution 35 20 25: Council authorized the city to apply for and accept the "energized community program" grant administered through "no Northeast Ohio Public Energy Council" (as read at the meeting) and declared it an emergency. Suspension of the three-reading rule passed 5-0; final adoption 5-0.
- Resolution 36 20 25: Council authorized the mayor to execute a letter of intent to purchase one ambulance from Pfund Superior Sales (emergency). Suspension and adoption both passed 5-0; administration said the letter secures a future vehicle slot and that the city will return with a formal contract when delivery dates are known.

- Ordinance 41 20 25: Council authorized destruction of certain city personal property as an emergency; council said disposing units would cost less than making them saleable. Vote 5-0.
Other procedural actions: Council moved an executive session on pending litigation (citing Ohio Revised Code 121.22(G)(3)) to later in the agenda and then voted to enter executive session by a 5-0 roll call.
All recorded roll calls in the record show council votes of five in favor and zero opposed on the adopted emergency measures.
