MEDICAL MARIJUANA MORATORIUM ON LUDINGTON CITY COUNCIL AGENDA

MEETING MONDAY

Like governments in cities throughout Michigan, the Ludington City
Council is scheduled to consider imposing a moratorium on medical
marijuana sales until zoning issues can be ironed out.

"Basically, it's just to give our planning commission time to figure
out the best way to regulate medical marijuana," City Manager John
Shay said about the moratorium is recommending that the council approve.

Shay said many other communities, including Manistee and Pere
Marquette Township, have already approved similar moratoriums.

He is recommending the council establish a six-month moratorium on
the issuance of licenses, permits or approvals for the sale or
dispensation of medical marijuana.

The council is scheduled to consider action on the issue when it
meets at 6:30 p.m. Monday at city hall, 400 S. Harrison St.
