Councilmember asks staff to research ordinance to ban sale of kratom in Tekoa
Summary
Councilmember Reid Smith said kratom is being sold in a local grocery store and requested the city obtain a sample Spokane ordinance to consider banning its sale in Tekoa.
Councilmember Reid Smith raised concerns about kratom sales in Tekoa, stating it "is being sold in the grocery store in Tekoa and that it is not for human consumption," and asked staff to research model language. Councilmember Shelly Ausmus asked if CM Smith could obtain a sample ordinance from Spokane to use as a template.
Council did not take immediate action to draft or introduce an ordinance at the March 9 meeting; the request was for staff to return with sample language from another jurisdiction for council consideration at a later date.
