Weekly Update 7/26/21

For what feels like the millionth time, the City Council this week discussed the marijuana Host Community Agreement process. It was decided that we will not accept HCA applications unless there is an open HCA. When one becomes available, notice will be posted and applications will be accepted.

Caps on other license types were discussed. It was decided that there will be no caps for cultivation, manufacturing, and delivery licenses. A motion was also approved to have the Law Department explore the proposal to allow delivery to co-locate with retail.

Another bit of exciting news for the proposed public safety facility. The City Council approved a "Determination of Uniqueness" for 90 County Street. This is the first step in proceeding with the purchase of the property for the location of the public safety facility.

Lastly, the Procurement Department and Chief Financial Officer ordinances that were advanced last week were passed from a first reading to a second reading.
