GILROY, Calif. - The City Council came out Wednesday to address and correct legal problems after a judge said they violated federal law on November 16 in regards to a closed meeting about MediLeaf.
In order to fix the violation, Council had to address what was being discussed behind closed doors last month in a public meeting. As the Mayor and acting City Attorney tried to explain what was brought up during that meeting, questions arose about wjat was discussed in the closed meeting.
Many were concerned that the cost for city to pursue the case was never brought up. "They're not explaining coherently why they are going to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to stop the access to medicine to sick people," says Medileaf's Eric Madigen.
After a long debate, council voted 6 to 1 to ban medical marijuana dispensaries in the city, but Medileaf says regardless, the dispensary will remain open.
"I didn't expect anything but that, that's nothing new," says Mayor Al Penheiro
Along with the vote to ban medical marijuana dispensaries in the city, council decided to discuss legal costs in the next meeting.
