of 215 Kush Collective, Inc., a non-profit medical marijuana collective, encouraged the Council to

the ban to the Prohibition era. Two speakers encouraged the Council to consider the potential revenue
stream which could be beneficial to the City. Jerry Perez Carrillo supported the ban on commercial
marijuana dispensaries. Council Member Harrison explained he supported the ban as proposed, since the

future meeting. Mayor Foster agreed that approval of the ordinance would bring the City into state
compliance and it would give us time to review the research more thoroughly. Council Member
Gilbreath voiced her opposition to the ban.With no further discussion,the Mayor closed the public
hearing.
