Weed Council creates cannabis ad hoc advisory committee, appoints two members

The Weed City Council voted to form a temporary cannabis ad hoc advisory committee to explore options for updating local cannabis regulations and to provide recommendations to the full council.

The city attorney said the resolution would create a committee of two council members plus staff to study regulatory options and return a final recommendation; adding non-council members would convert the group into a Brown Act body and require a different resolution. Mayor Prom Palpini and Council Member Wetstein volunteered and were appointed; the committee's first meeting was noted to be scheduled promptly.

The committee will research local regulatory frameworks and present any proposed updates to the council at a later public meeting. The formation passed on a council vote.
