Dear Community Council:
Notice: On or before May 1 of each year, the Municipal Clerk is required to notify each
Community Council of all the marijuana establishment licenses located within its boundary that
are anticipated to be renewed. Attached is the list of marijuana licenses that expire August 31,
2020 (AMC 10.80.036E). To comply with this provision of the code, the Clerk’s Office has
attached a spreadsheet of the September 1, 2020 – August 31, 2021 marijuana licenses
anticipated to renew, sorted by Community Council.
Public Hearings and Resolutions: The Municipal Clerk is also required to advise Community
Councils that they may request a legislative public hearing before the assembly on any
marijuana establishment license renewal within its boundaries (AMC 10.80.036E). To request a
public hearing, the community council must adopt a resolution asking the Assembly to hold a
public hearing on the renewal of the marijuana establishment license and must send the
resolution directly to the Office of the Municipal Clerk at
munilicenses@muni.org
. The request
should be in the form of a resolution and preferably containing the following information:
Number of Community Council member votes in favor of the request and the number of
votes opposed; specific facts regarding the reason for the public hearing request,
including dates; and any supporting documentation. The resolution must be received no
later than June 1, 2020.
Please contact the Clerk’s Office if you have any questions regarding marijuana establishment
license renewals or requests for public hearings.
