Board of Health opposes municipal action targeting landlords selling cannabis; item moves to Public Safety Commission

The chair reported that the Board of Health did not recommend moving forward with proposed updates to the nonsmoking and cannabis ordinance that would enable municipal action against landlords whose properties are used to sell cannabis without a license. "They did not recommend that it move forward," the chair said; the item will next appear before the Public Safety Commission.

The committee recorded no additional detail from the Board of Health on why it opposed the measure; staff said the item will proceed to the Public Safety Commission for more discussion and a recommendation to general counsel and the common council.
