Hermiston Council will discuss commercial cannabis at March 25 meeting

Commercial Cannabis Discussion

The Hermiston City Council will officially discuss putting legalized commercial cannabis on the ballot at its regular March 25 meeting. The item was originally planned for the March 11 meeting, but three councilors will be attending the National League of Oregon Cities conference on that date and would be unable to be part of the important discussion.

The Council held a work session on Monday, February 26 in response to public feedback during budget discussions. In the work session the Council reviewed a recent public survey and staff report regarding the process for re-considering cannabis sales in Hermiston. Public comment will be taken during the March 25 meeting.

If you're planning to attend the City Council meeting on Monday to share public comment, please remember the following:

• Each speaker is limited to two minutes to make sure everyone has the opportunity to make a public comment.

• The Mayor and City Council will consider all comments as part of the discussion but will not answer questions during the public comment period.

• Written comments can be sent ahead of time to meetings@hermiston.gov
