On February 8, 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 10-18911 that created the Medical Marijuana Ad-Hoc Advisory Committee.  On March 22, 2010, the City Council approved the Mayor's appointments of four (4) members to the committee but staff informed Council that it was seeking two (2) additional members.  Two people applied for the positions and the Council is being asked to approve the Mayor's appointment.

The Council may approve or disapprove the Mayor's appointments.  However, the creation resolution mandated six (6) members that represent specific professions.  These two people are the only ones who have applied that represent the medical and pharmacist professions that are required on the committee. 

There are no known financial impacts at this time other than staff time that will be committed to assist the committee.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the following Mayor's appointments to the Medical Marijuana Ad-Hoc Advisory Committee:

• Dr. Ed Stickney (medical doctor)
• Mr. Gene Jurovich (pharmacist)
