Forest Park’s City Council adopted Ordinance 15‑2024 on May 6, which the council described as a local prohibition on adult‑use cannabis sales pending further information from the state.
The ordinance was read by title after the council moved to suspend the requirement for separate readings and was adopted on a unanimous roll call. Council members characterized the action as a precautionary local policy decision in the absence of state‑level rules and urged coordination with any future state guidance.
Why it matters: the ordinance sets the city’s current rules on commercial adult‑use cannabis sales. Because state law and administrative rules often control licensing and broader regulatory frameworks, the city framed this as a temporary local position until the state’s standards are clarified.
Vote: Ordinance 15‑2024 adopted by roll call vote 7–0.
Provenance: Ordinance read and adopted during the new‑business portion of the May 6 meeting; clerk confirmed ordinances were posted in advance as required.
