DUNSMUIR COUNCIL PASSES MEDICAL MARIJUANA ORDINANCE

Dunsmuir, Calif. - The city of Dunsmuir now has an ordinance that
regulates Proposition 215 medical marijuana collectives and
cooperatives. Leslie Wilde, owner of the Green Collar Compassionate
Collective, is questioning aspects of the ordinance as well as the
limitations she will now face in bringing safe medical marijuana
access to her members.

At its March 18 meeting, the Dunsmuir City Council passed the
ordinance, which has been in the works since November, when the
council created a special committee to help devise a list of
appropriate regulations.

When the ordinance goes into effect next month, the long-standing
moratorium on the issuance of business licenses for medical marijuana
collectives and cooperatives in Dunsmuir will be lifted.

For assistance while wading through these unfamiliar waters, city
staff retained attorney Sandra Spelliscy to serve as a consultant.

As of March 22, the cost of Spelliscy's services from city funds was
$1,425, said finance director Keith Anderson. He added that
additional costs of consulting the city attorney on the regulations
have run $1,262.
