Resident’s email about marijuana smoke prompts city to advise sheriff contact
Summary
The board reviewed an email from a resident who says a neighbor’s marijuana smoking prevents outdoor enjoyment; members asked the city clerk to write to the resident and suggest contacting the sheriff because they were unsure of local enforcement options.
The Maysville Board of Aldermen reviewed a resident’s complaint on May 11 that a neighbor’s marijuana smoking has made it difficult to enjoy time outdoors.
The board discussed the limits of local authority after legalization and did not identify a city enforcement option at the meeting. The board asked City Clerk Pat Fisher-Johnson to write to the complaining resident and advise that he could contact the county sheriff’s office for possible enforcement actions.
No formal ordinance or enforcement action was proposed at the meeting, and no named official indicated the city would pursue code changes. The conversation was recorded as a review of correspondence rather than as public testimony.
