[bouldercouncilhotline] Hotline: RE: Scheduling the changes to Boulder's marijuana regulations

Mary,

Thanks for your email.  I have asked Ms. Cook to change the effective date of the only pending revocation to December 15 from November 19.  If council passes the ordinance as amended on second reading, it will be effective before the revocation goes into effect.  If this addresses your concern, we will not need an emergency or retroactive version of the ordinance.

I do not recall council's intent in allowing the exemption for charitable events being associated with the number of underage attendees.  On October 20, Macon asked us to draft an amendment to remove any restriction from advertising at charitable events.  We did so, but council did not adopt it.  We will prepare the version that you requested for consideration tomorrow evening.

Tom

Subject: Changes to 3rd Reading Marijuana Regulations

Dear Tom,

For the Tuesday, November 10 Council Meeting, I would like to have draft versions of the following changes to the 3rd reading Marijuana Regulations:

1. With regard to advertising and events sponsorship: clarification of the definition of "incidental" to align with the original intent of the law. That is to allow advertising (as an example booths and banners) if no more than 30% of the event's attendees are likely to be under the age of 21.

2. With regard to the de novo hearings: change the language of the ordinance to allow for application of the law retroactive to October 20, i.e. the date that Council directed the change in permitting de novo hearings.

Please also present a version for 4th reading as well as one for emergency passage.

Thank you.
