Attachments: Staff Report Ordinance Concerning Medical Cannabis Additional Backup- Proof of Publication 10.A.4 (Clerk's Note: This Item heard before Item 10.A.1 and placed here for continuity.) County Attorney Dylan Reingold noted that the Ordinance on Medical Marijuana Regulations that had been previously adopted by the Board would be nullified by the Medical Marijuana legislation that has been passed during this Special Legislative Session. He stated that the Bill had not yet been signed by the Governor, but that the Governor had two weeks to take action on the proposed legislation. Attorney Reingold felt that based on the news reports, the Governor planned to sign the Bill, and made the request to take public comments and defer this item to the July 11, 2017 meeting. He provided background from discussions regarding the options that local governments have with respect to regulations on the medical marijuana treatment center dispensing facilities, and provided an update on the plans that the surrounding areas had with respect to the dispensing facilities. He encouraged those members of the Board who were attending the Florida Association of Counties Conference (FAC) to poll their fellow Commissioners as to how the central region was going to respond to the legislation, and requested direction from the Board as to how to proceed with the drafting of an Ordinance that pertains to the banning of the facilities within the unincorporated areas.
