The Dalles City Council held a town hall meeting on marijuana Monday evening that featured information from League of Oregon Cities legal counsel Rob Bovett. Mayor Steve Lawrence said one of the important things he took away from the meeting was the knowledge that the Oregon Liquor Control Commission won’t be giving licenses for the retail sale of recreational marijuana until this fall, which means City officials have time to make decisions. Lawrence noted the Council will need to have the discussion about whether to send a measure to opt-out of the various business aspects of legalized marijuana to municipal voters before moving into development of a time, place, and manner ordinance.
