Mosier council asks city attorney to draft 3% marijuana retail tax referral for November ballot
Summary
Council President Emily Reed moved and the council unanimously asked the City Attorney to draft an ordinance template to place a 3% marijuana retail tax referral before voters in the November election, with wording to note that state law already permits sales.
Mosier — At its May 18, 2016, meeting, the Mosier City Council moved to ask the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance template to refer a 3% marijuana retail tax measure to voters at the November election. Council President Emily Reed made the motion and said the draft should include language clarifying that the State of Oregon already allows marijuana sales. Councilor Lacy Gries seconded the motion, and the council approved it unanimously.
City Manager Kathy Fitzpatrick later summarized the election schedule and reminded the council the filing deadline for the November ballot is August 30. The council did not adopt a final ordinance at the meeting; the next step is for the City Attorney to draft the referral language for future council consideration and potential placement on the ballot.
