[BoulderCouncilHotline] Council direction to Marijuana Advisory Panel

[Carr, Thomas]

To avoid any confusion, council member Young asked that I provide a summary of council's direction to the Marijuana Advisory Panel.  My understanding is as follows:
The City Council directs the Marijuana Advisory Panel provide advice on the following questions:
1.         Violations assessed against a business should not carry over to an arm's length purchaser.
2.         Please provide input on what requirements should be imposed to avoid fake transfers for the sole purpose of obtaining a clean slate.  For example, what percentage of new owners and keyholders should be required to eliminate prior violations in a license transfer application?
3.         Please provide input on whether suspensions for a third violation are still an appropriate sanction for the most serious offenses as set forth in the penalty table adopted by MAP?
With respect to item number 1.  There seemed to be some confusion about how liquor licenses are treated.  It was late and people were saying different things.  To be clear, a business that purchases a liquor license takes the license subject to all previous violations.
Council decided that the new marijuana advisory board would be asked to address the question of grandfathering.  CAC will be asked to schedule creation of that group as soon as possible.
