Summary

Supervisor Feuer requested the charter amendment to create a Cannabis Commission be tabled to the November election to avoid ballot conflicts; the committee formally ordered the item continued after confirming public-comment procedures.

Clerk introduced Item 2, a proposed charter amendment to create a Cannabis Commission to oversee a Department of Cannabis and the city's equity program. Supervisor Feuer, the sponsor, said he introduced the measure in December to establish accountability and transparency for cannabis implementation but preferred to place it on the November ballot rather than June because other cannabis ballot activity is possible.

The committee confirmed that public comment was required because the item was agendized; no members of the public came forward. Supervisor Feuer made a motion to table the item and reintroduce it for the November election. The committee ordered the item to be continued (tabled) without objection so the sponsor can return with amendments and to seek the later ballot date.
