Frontage Road - Vail, Colorado, 81657 MEMBERS PRESENT Henry Pratt Webb Martin Michael Kurz Pam Hopkins MEMBERS ABSENT John Rediker Luke Cartin Dick Cleveland 60 minutes A work session to discuss the creation of a set of policy options and implementation strategies for the Town Council's consideration on the topic of retail marijuana sales in the Town of Vail George Ruther, Community Development Director, gave a presentation on recreational marijuana policy in the Town of Vail. Ruther gave a broad overview of Amendment 64 and Amendment 20. Ruther framed the general question, that being the juxtaposition of the preferences and perceptions of TOV voters with potential regulations /policy. Ruther gave a background on marijuana discussions in TOV including the moratoriums, temporary and permanent. The Recreational Marijuana Working Group was outlined. Ruther stated that their purpose is to identify issues, not necessarily setting policy. Ruther went through their first meeting and the two speakers who presented in addition to Community Development. One speaker was a Breckenridge police officer, Brady Allen, and the other was Meg Collins from the Cannabis Business Alliance. Ruther showed a continuum of options that are available to the TOV. The many questions that have arisen were presented. Ruther concluded with a briefing on the schedule moving forward. Commissioner Kurz commented on what the role of the PEC will be. Ruther clarified, remarking that it will depend on what the policy is. Commissioner Hopkins talked about the odors and her experience with medical marijuana, being a neighbor to an establishment. Ruther mentioned his conversations with the building official on how building codes interact with marijuana. Commissioner Pratt talked about concerns he has heard on the front range with the power companies (Excel). Commissioner Pratt asked about the intersection of federal and state laws and constitutions. Ruther stated that he would check with Matt Mire, Town Attorney, on this regard. Commissioner Kurz echoed Commissioner Pratt's concern and made comments in regard to banking and the problems associated with that. Commissioner Pratt asked questions concerning where the Eagle County approved locations are. Commissioner Webb raised some comments about proximity issues with other towns, the image issue, and who the stores would be serving (tourists). Commissioner Kurz made comments about the discussion in general and the image and brand question, stating the brand of the Town and that of Vail Resorts are not necessarily synonymous. Ruther wrapped up with a positive note that so far the level of discourse has been very high. Page 1 2.
