Loading...
Summary
On Dec. 27 the Milan City Council gave first readings to two ordinance amendments: Ordinance 2023-02 (medical marihuana cross-reference correction) and Ordinance 2023-01 (allowing the city clerk’s designee to review recreational marihuana applications). Both first readings passed on roll call (Ayes 6, Nays 0, Absent 1).
The Milan City Council on Dec. 27 held first readings for two amendments affecting local regulation of marihuana businesses.
Ordinance 2023-02 would amend Ordinance No. 2022-06 (medical-use marihuana establishments) to correct a cross-reference in Article II, Section 5(c). Councilmember Baldwin moved the first reading and Councilmember Nie seconded; the minutes record a roll-call vote of six ayes, zero nays and one absent.
Ordinance 2023-01 would amend Ordinance No. 2022-07 (recreational-use marihuana establishments) to authorize the city clerk’s designee to review applications and to remove the Planning Commission from the application-review process. Councilmember Baldwin moved the first reading and Councilmember Kofflin seconded; the same roll-call result is recorded: six ayes, zero nays, one absent. The ordinances were introduced as first readings only; no final adoption occurred at this meeting.
Council discussion on these items, as reflected in the minutes, was procedural. The minutes do not record public comment, impact assessments, or amendments to the proposed language during the first readings. Additional public hearings or subsequent readings would be required for final passage under local ordinance procedures.
