Unfinished Business. None 11. New Business. Alderman Dimas said the issue of dispensing marijuana has brought out concerns from the community. The issue has been discussed in several committees and staff has been requested to draw up language to bring this to the Plan Commission in November. Alderman Dimas thought the City Council should discuss whether the City Council wants this or not before it goes to the Plan Commission. If the Council does not want it, then no more committee meetings or Plan Commission meetings are needed. She would like staff to prepare an ordinance for the November 4, 2019, City Council for denial. She would like information to be wide spread to inform the community of the change so everyone could attend that meeting. However, if the City Council agrees to allow marijuana sales then it will be forwarded to the Plan Commission. Alderman Hallett agreed with Alderman Dimas. The Mayor said this will be on the November 4, 2019 agenda. A show of hands was six to five to have an ordinance drawn up to deny. City Administrator Guttman said staff will make an ordinance to prohibit and it will be on the November 4, 2019, agenda for discussion. 12. Correspondence and Announcements.
