Council schedules second reading of code amendment to regulate recreational marijuana facilities

Fulton City Council · May 27, 2026

Summary

Councilman Coward read Bill 17‑84 to add a new article regulating recreational marijuana facilities to the city code; staff said the amendment implements state constitutional language and the item was scheduled for second reading at the next meeting after a voice vote.

Councilman Coward read Bill 17‑84, described in the transcript as an amendment to Chapter 22 to repeal the existing article A and enact a new article regulating marijuana facilities to align with the Missouri Constitution’s recent changes. The Director of Administration clarified the city code already addresses medical marijuana and that the amendment, written by a councilor (identified in the transcript as Tom Bridal), adds provisions for recreational marijuana to conform with state statute.

Council moved to send the bill to second reading at the next meeting; the clerk recorded the procedural action and the matter will return for further consideration. The transcript records the initial procedural passage with five ayes and one recorded nay on the motion to send to second reading.
