During a town hall meeting April 27, however, councilmembers discussed a new time frame for retail marijuana, with a target on late July to open for business applications. According to City Clerk Mari Peña, detailed zoning ordinances regarding where dispensaries can operate within the city will be presented during a public meeting on May 13, with another public meeting about the overall ordinance and general concerns scheduled for May 18. The dispensary application stage, currently set to start July 23, was supposed to begin in May, but that process has lagged as the council negotiates upgrades for a local wastewater facility. "I know there have been a lot of questions about [marijuana] applications and submittals, but no applications will be accepted until after the effective date of the ordinances, and until after the council approves a process to move forward with," Peña said during the meeting. "We should have more information as we get closer to July."
