Brimfield trustees hold public hearing on proposed ban of adult‑use cannabis operators
Summary
The Brimfield Township Board of Trustees held a May 28 public hearing on a proposed amendment to prohibit adult‑use cannabis operators under Resolution Section 505.00 D(8); a public commenter supported the ban and trustees took no action at the hearing.
The Brimfield Township Board of Trustees held a public hearing May 28, 2025, at the Brimfield Townhall to consider an amendment to Resolution Section 505.00 D(8) that would prohibit adult‑use cannabis operators in the township. Trustees Nicholas Coia, Mike Kostensky and Sue Fields and Fiscal Officer John Dalziel were listed as present; Nicholas Coia called the meeting to order at 7:15 a.m.
The proposed amendment would bar "adult‑use cannabis operators as defined by Ohio Revised Code Chapter 3780 and related State regulations." The agenda packet language also states that "This section is not intended to restrict the activity currently protected by Ohio Revised Code 3780.25(G)." The proposal repeatedly cites Ohio Revised Code Chapter 3780 as the governing state law and frames the change as a local prohibition permitted under state statute.
Public comment was brief. Public commenter Dave Sous said he attended to support the township's prohibition on selling adult‑use cannabis and expressed concerns about the issue. The transcript records that no additional speakers addressed the board on this item.
No action was taken on the proposed amendment at the hearing. The meeting concluded at 7:18 a.m. after Trustee Mike Kostensky moved to adjourn; Trustee Nicholas Coia seconded, and the roll call vote passed unanimously.
The hearing record does not show a vote on the amendment, next steps, or a schedule for further consideration.
