The city will model its ordinance after laws passed in other cities, which allow dispensaries but use zoning codes to keep them out of certain parts of town. Dispensaries are currently banned throughout the city.
The council could vote on a new law at its next meeting, on May 12.
Mayor Bridgette Moore voted against the measure, saying she didn't want the city to spend money on legal fees and staff time to draft the ordinance. The city had already spent about $12,000 to produce a report detailing the legal ramifications of medical marijuana, Assistant City Manager Gary Nordquist said.
