Estacada staff to prepare ballot materials on proposed ban for new marijuana production businesses
Summary
Council directed staff to prepare FAQ and outreach for a ballot measure that would prohibit new marijuana production, processing and wholesaling businesses in Estacada; staff asked whether councilors want designated leads for public questions.
City staff told the council they are preparing a ballot measure for the November election that would prohibit new marijuana production, processing and wholesaling businesses in Estacada. The staff presentation said the council had previously directed staff to develop the measure and asked councilors whether they wanted to appoint point people to answer community questions.
Staff said it will prepare an informational FAQ sheet and suggested the city publish a contact (citycouncil@cityofEstacada.org) so residents can reach council members with questions. Councilors discussed whether to designate a lead for questions or to have the whole council field inquiries; several volunteered to be contacts and staff asked for a decision or later designation.
The presentation was part of a broader city-manager slideshow that highlighted events (4th of July parade; Arts at the Creek) and reminded residents about nomination-packet availability for upcoming elections. The council did not finalize ballot language at the meeting; staff will return with outreach materials and recommended messaging ahead of the ballot packet.
