The La Grande City Council will conduct a Work Session on Monday, January 29. 2018 at 6:00 pm, in the Council Chambers of City Hall, located at 1000 Adams Avenue. The purpose of this Work Session is for the Council to discuss the process it will use to determine whether or not to ask voters to repeal the ban on recreational marijuana businesses and impose a 3% tax on recreational sales in November of 2018.
Work Sessions are an opportunity for the Council to discuss matters, options on how to address them, and to determine if the Council requires additional information from Staff. NO decisions will be made during this Work Session.
This Works Session is open to the public, and the public will have the opportunity to address the Council regarding ONLY the options for the processes the City Council is considering. There will be an opportunity for the public to address the City Council regarding whether or not to refer the matter to the voters at another time, therefore NO comments regarding whether the City Council should refer the matter to voters will be accepted at this Work Session. This matter will be discussed and voted on during a Regular Session of the Council. The Public is always given an opportunity to address the Council during the Regular Sessions.
