How to resolve AdBlock issue? The council will meet in closed session at 5 p.m. Thursday, May 9, for employee negotiations before the public portion of the meeting begins at 6 p.m. in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.
On the agenda is a continued public hearing on proposed changes to the Clearlake Municipal Code concerning commercial cannabis, which began on April 25.
The changes proposed to the council – involving provisions for microbusinesses, processing of cannabis and commercial cannabis manufacturing, along with some clarifications – had been discussed and recommended by the Clearlake Planning Commission and Cannabis AdHoc Committee, according to the report from City Manager Alan Flora.
Flora said the council’s direction from the April 25 meeting included a provision that microbusiness cultivation shall be limited to nursery-only cultivation, with nurseries being defined by state regulations for a Type 4 Nursery license.
He said the council also continued the public hearing and held it open to May 9.
