The moratorium was extended for 30 days to give city staff time to present the City Council with regulations at the council’s next meeting. The regulations will be read into title at the August 15 council meeting. The city has licensed nine medical marijuana facilities, including five dispensaries. The moratorium will now expire September 7, which could mean marijuana sales could begin as early as October or November.
