RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL
A special meeting was called by Chair, Tracy Winston, for Friday, September 28, 2018 at 2:00 PM to be
held in the City Clerk Conference Room, 9th floor of City Hall, 124 W Michigan Avenue to approve a letter
containing the following recommendations to City Council:
• Increase the number of Medical Marihuana provisioning center licenses based upon the City of
Lansing population
• Amend the ordinance to allow the top 20 applicants to receive a license while appeals are in
progress. A successful appeal that results in a score within the top twenty-licensee range would
receive as license even if the cap on licenses has reached the maximum number.
• Review ordinance language for clarity and consistency with State of Michigan law
• Amend the ordinance to make property improvement and City of Lansing community involvement
required for licensure
