1. Call Meeting to Order.
2. Local Action Regarding Amendment 64 (Recreational Marijuana.). (staff: Ginny
Sawyer, Don Vagge, Bronwyn Scurlock; 90 minute discussion)
On November 6, 2012, Colorado voters passed Amendment 64, which requires the state
to establish a system in which marijuana is regulated and taxed (similar to alcohol) in a
retail environment. These licensed establishments must be separate and distinct from
medical marijuana centers.
Under Amendment 64, Council has three options in regard to retail operations: (1) adopt
an ordinance prohibiting retail marijuana businesses in Fort Collins; (2) refer a retail
marijuana prohibition question to the voters; or (3) allow retail marijuana businesses in
Fort Collins and impose local restrictions on the time, place, manner and number of retail
marijuana operations.
Additionally, the Amendment allows persons 21 years of age or older to legally possess
up to one ounce or less of marijuana without a doctor’s recommendation and to grow up
to six marijuana plants. Local jurisdictions have the option to better define and regulate
home growing if they choose.
