PUBLIC COMMENT
Adam Pimerits, Ethnobotanica, recommended the City accept permit applications or grant
provisional authorization contingent upon being awarded a State license, reconsider permitting
adult use dispensaries, and revise ordinance language regulating packaging to specify all locally
permitted cannabis businesses strictly adhere to State regulations.
The public comment period was closed.
Assistant City Attorney Neumeytar provided the staff report and responded to Council inquiries.
Council Member Makowetski jointed the meeting at 4:15 p.m.
Personal Cultivation
Mayor Irons suggested adding a 6' maximum height limit for outdoor cultivation. Council Member
McPherson proposed the key issue is that it not be visible from public space. There was
consensus to leave the language as is and not add a maximum height limit. Council Member
Headding requested "reasonably inaccessible to minors" be changed to "inaccessible to minors."
There was full Council support for that change.

There were no changes to this section.
Testing/Manufacturing
Following discussion, there were no changes to this section.
Dispensaries (Medical)

Deliveries
The Council subcommittee recommended medical only, subject to reconsideration following a
November 2018 tax measure.
No further action was taken by the City Council.
