Committee member says other communities copied marijuana ordinance; meeting adjourns

A committee member said other communities have copied the city's marijuana ordinance and praised attention to local initiatives, then moved to adjourn the meeting at 7:50 p.m.

The speaker said "we had a couple that, basically cut and paste our marijuana ordinance when we first did that," and added that people are "paying attention to this covenant art thing." The speaker said such attention and visits to peer communities were "reinvigorating." The transcript does not specify the speaker's name or the governing body.

The member said there were no appointments to boards and commissions on the agenda. They also announced the last "coffee with council" for the year would be held next Monday, noting December is typically "a pretty crazy month."

The same speaker moved to adjourn, saying, "I'll make a motion to adjourn at 07:50." The motion was met with the word "Support," followed by a voice vote call of "all those in favor signify by saying aye." At least one member voiced "Aye," and the meeting was declared adjourned. The transcript contains no names for the mover, any seconder, or those who voted.

No formal actions, appointments, ordinances, ordinances numbers, or votes on policy items were recorded in the provided transcript segments.
