Regarding the duration of a Cannabis Event, the City Attorney has confirmed that City Code cannot <br />include language specifically limiting a Cannabis Event to one day; however, the below language <br />currently in the draft ordinance does afford Council latitude in adding reasonable conditions to a <br />Cannabis Event permit upon consideration of approval (see the last paragraph of Section 396.7 — <br />Exceptions — Cannabis Event Organizer on page 3 of Attachment A): <br />No Cannabis Event will be permitted on public property or in a public park. The Council may add <br />reasonable conditions to the permit, may reduce the number of days for the event, prohibit outdoor <br />activity and/or restrict or prohibit on -site consumption, in order to protect the public health, safety, <br />and general welfare. <br />Regarding the reference to an escrow fee charged for a Cannabis Event in the attached ordinance, <br />Staff has stricken this language (see page 3 of Attachment A as denoted in green type). Council may <br />wish to consider implementing an escrow fee in the future for such should there be any issues related <br />to such an event, and Staff would bring forward an amended Fee Schedule for Council consideration <br />at that time. <br />Staff is requesting that Council consider adoption of the attached Ordinance 2024-017 and authorize <br />publication of a Summary Ordinance 2024-017. <br />Attachments <br />Attachment A: Ordinance 2024-017 Amending Chapter 3 and Summary Ordinance (redlined) <br />Attachment B: Ordinance 2024-017 Amending Chapter 3 and Summary Ordinance (final) <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
