Members of the Constantine Village Council recently reviewed details for a proposed adult-use marijuana ordinance.
The deadline to submit ballot details to the county clerk is Aug. 11. Village manager Mark Honeysett would like to have it prepared shortly after the council’s July 20 meeting.
At their May meeting, the council voted to put the proposal of recreational marijuana on the November ballot.
The new ordinance states for the first two years after the date of adoption, only businesses that currently have medical marijuana permits from the village are eligible for recreational permits. There is a $5,000 annual fee for each permit.
About two years ago, the council approved 11 licenses. Among those initial holders of medical marijuana, only seven remain active, Honeysett said.
