Discussion and Possible Action Re: Ordinance No. 23-1017 amending Title 11, Chapter 2 of the Code of Ordinances relating to possession and use of marijuana Chief Dresser stated that he was concerned about OWIs and youth possession. His preference would be to not lower the fines for possession of marijuana. Reekie stated that she doesn’t want to make it look like the City condones marijuana use for kids. Hoechst stated that he didn’t think Verona needed to be at the forefront of reducing marijuana charge fees. Hoechst asked how frequently the City issues citations for marijuana possession. Chief Dresser stated that they had issued 6 so far in January. He added that possession is usually a secondary offense. Typically, they pull someone over for speeding or other violations and discover marijuana. Touchett suggested an escalating fee schedule for each additional offense. Hoechst stated he did not support the escalating fees and wants to keep the citation amount as is. Hoechst asked how long it take for an officer to issue a possession citation. Chief Dresser stated that it typically takes 15 minutes on scene and a half hour to complete the administrative paperwork and package as evidence. Motion by Reekie, seconded by Touchett to recommend that council approve the ordinance with an amendment that the citation fees double per each subsequent offense. Motion carried 2-1 with Hoechst voting no. 8. Adjournment: Motion by Touchett, seconded by Hoechst to adjourn at 6:17 p.m. Motion carried 3-0. Respectfully Submitted, Holly Licht, City Clerk

Discussion and Possible Action Re: Ordinance No. 23-1017 amending Title 11, Chapter 2 of the Code of Ordinances relating to possession and use of marijuana Staff was directed to draft an Ordinance amendment relating to the possession and use of marijuana. The proposed Ordinance amendment would reduce the existing fine for possession or use of marijuana to five dollars ($5.00) plus the court costs of prosecution. The five-dollar forfeiture plus court costs would be for all violations of the possession or use of marijuana; the proposed Ordinance amendment does not increase the fine for subsequent violations. Motion: Recommend that the Common Council approve Ordinance No. 23-1017 amending Title 11, Chapter 2 of the Code of Ordinances relating to possession and use of marijuana.
