City Council also will address Wednesday the question of whether 24/7 on-site security should continue to be required at Martinez's two dispensaries; study session is planned on special event policy
I hope to have a complete report on last night's meeting posted over the weekend, but a brief update on what happened:
1) The council generally supported the 1,000-foot buffer expansion and directed staff to move ahead with incorporating it into an official ordinance update.
2) There was some difference of opinion on the issue of maintaining a 24/7 on-site security requirement, but ultimate the council indicated support for maintaining the requirement, based largely on the views expressed by the police chief, with the minimum number of security guards reduced from two to one.
3) The council generally expressed support for most of the other proposed modifications, though there was some difference of opinion on the question of banning billboard advertisements.
There will be a public hearing held next month where the specific proposals and language will come before the council for consideration.
I can’t believe that anyone will actually read an on-site health poster. It will be about as effective as the warnings on cigarette packs or the long list of negative side effects you hear recited with every drug ad on TV. We shouldn’t waste the effort on it.
