Four Grand Junction City Council members were sworn in Monday morning for new four-year terms after winning their elections on April 6.
Rick Taggart was reelected, and Abe Herman, Randall Reitz and Dennis Simpson were elected for the first time. The new council members met at City Hall in front of a small gathering, which included city staff and the three City Council members who were not up for reelection.
The new council started off with a work session Monday evening, which included discussion about allowing marijuana businesses in the city.
According to the agenda, discussion items were to include whether regulations should be put in place, the timeframe for licensing new marijuana businesses and whether to establish a cap on the number of certain marijuana licenses.
