Speaker 1: Okay. Thank you. Next step is we're going to do item number, is it that was 16. So I could do item 16. We'll try to get through these as expeditiously as possible. And there's going to be a a motion that's ready to go here. So can we the the the item please.
Speaker 2: Report from city clerk recommendation to receive and file the certification of the petition regarding the regulation of medical marijuana businesses and approve one of the following three alternative actions adopt the initiative ordinance without alteration to submit the initiative ordinance without alteration to the voters to be held on November 8th, 2016 or three. Adopt a report pursuant to California State Elections Code.
Speaker 1: Thank you. There's a motion and a second device. Marie Lowenthal.
Speaker 0: Thank you. And Mr. City Attorney, I'd like to add to the motion to prepare an analysis that comes back to this council.
Speaker 12: Mayor, Vice Mayor. I'm not sure which what the motion is as read by the city clerk. The council this evening has three options.
Speaker 0: It's it's items two and three from the three options to. To approve receipt of. The clerk certification and then to ask for a report.
Speaker 1: Yep. Okay. There's a motion in a second. So it's to approve the ballot, the ballot measure that the caucus sent over, but also concurrently to ask for a report that would come back to the council.
Speaker 0: Yes.
Speaker 7: Okay.
Speaker 1: There's a motion and a second. Ah. Any public comment on this? We'd love to take the vote expeditiously. Mr. Goodhue.
Speaker 12: If it's all possible, I would suggest. Taking whatever steps necessary and figuring out what the cost would be to oppose any actions. And that would end with that would result in having marijuana legalized within this city. If we're prepared to spend $90 million, urinate away $90 million on a city hall, we can certainly afford the millions to fight this off in court. To forestall what the police department has counseled against the consequences of having legalized marijuana here in this city if we think we had problems here tonight. The day would pale in comparison to what we'll have if marijuana is legalized in this city. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Any other public comment? We want to take a vote. Quickly, please.
Speaker 4: Just real quick. Although I would have preferred number one, I know there's no consensus or probably won't be.
Speaker 0: But I'm here just to say.
Speaker 2: That the.
Speaker 0: City clerk really did a fantastic job in what was a very tedious and detailed process.
Speaker 4: And I'm very proud of the professionalism.
Speaker 0: That they displayed. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Okay. Thank you. There's a motion and a second. Please cast your votes.
Speaker 2: Motion carries.
Speaker 1: Okay. Thank you. And now we're going to item and I'm sorry, jumping around. Give me 1/2. I think it's 12.
