The Milan City Council on Nov. 28 approved a zoning amendment related to marihuana and two separate marihuana ordinances on their second reading, and authorized a senior-services agreement and a five-year postage machine lease.
The council approved the marihuana zoning ordinance amendment on a motion by Councilmember Kofflin, seconded by Councilmember Nie; the roll-call vote was seven ayes, zero nays. Council later approved Medical Marihuana Ordinance No. 2022-06 on a motion by Councilmember Baldwin, seconded by Councilmember Thompson; roll call was seven ayes, zero nays. The council also approved Recreational Marihuana Ordinance No. 2022-07 on a motion by Councilmember Nie, seconded by Councilmember Kofflin; that vote was recorded as seven ayes, zero nays.
The approvals took place during the “Matters for Action” portion of the agenda; the transcript records each vote as unanimous. The ordinances were considered on their second readings, and no amendments or dissenting statements were recorded in the meeting transcript.
Council also approved an agreement between Milan Seniors for Healthy Living and the City of Milan. The motion to approve the agreement was made by Pro-Tem Kerkes and seconded by Councilmember Baldwin; the motion carried unanimously, according to the minutes.
The council authorized a five-year postage machine lease with Quadient Leasing on a motion by Councilmember Baldwin, seconded by Pro-Tem Kerkes; the minutes record that the motion carried unanimously. Separately, the council moved to pay bills and payroll totaling $413,738.56 (motion by Councilmember Nie, seconded by Councilmember Kofflin); the transcript records the motion but does not list a roll-call tally for that specific motion in the segment quoted.
The meeting opened at 7:31 p.m. with Mayor Ed Kolar presiding and concluded after the council set its next regular meeting for Dec. 12, 2022. No litigation, contested permits, or contested testimony related to the marihuana items appear in the meeting record provided.
What happens next: Because the ordinances were approved on second reading, any subsequent procedural steps required by ordinance text or state law (for example, publication or an effective date) were not detailed in the transcript and are therefore not specified here.
