Loading...
Summary
At its Nov. 14 meeting, the Milan City Council approved first readings of a marihuana zoning amendment and two ordinances—Medical Marihuana Ordinance 2022-06 and Recreational Marihuana Ordinance 2022-07—each passing by a 7-0 roll-call vote.
The Milan City Council on Nov. 14 approved the first readings of three ordinances addressing marihuana zoning and regulation.
The council first approved a Marihuana Zoning Ordinance Amendment on a motion by Councilmember Nie, seconded by Councilmember Baldwin; a roll-call vote was recorded as seven ayes and zero nays. Council then approved the first reading of Medical Marihuana Ordinance 2022-06 on a motion by Councilperson Kerkes, seconded by Councilperson Kofflin, and approved the first reading of Recreational Marihuana Ordinance 2022-07 on a motion by Councilperson Nie, seconded by Councilperson Baldwin; both votes were recorded as seven ayes and zero nays.
The measures were presented as first readings only. First readings advance each proposal to later consideration but do not enact final changes; the council did not record further amendments or an adoption vote during this session. The votes put the zoning amendment and two ordinance drafts on record for subsequent readings and any required procedural steps under the City of Milan’s ordinance process.
Councilmembers cited procedural motion and roll-call approvals during the meeting; the transcript records the motions and the unanimous first-reading votes but does not include extended debate or substance of the ordinance text. The council did not specify a schedule for second readings during the Nov. 14 session.
The council will address next steps as the ordinances move forward through the city's legislative process.
