Michael Montgomery, Deputy City Council Administrator, presented the

Ordinance amending the City Code pertaining to retail marijuana and

expenditures of the Special Fund. He provided an overview of the history of

the Ordinance, current Code/budget authority, proposed amendments, and

next steps.

President Crow-Iverson stated this information is important for her

colleagues with the Opioid Council and Health Foundation to make sure

these dollars are matched and go further which is the best use for citizens

at this time.

Councilmember Donelson asked what is included in Public Safety

Programs. Ben Bolinger, Legislative Counsel, City Attorney’s Office, stated

those were not defined in the initiated Ordinance, but City Council has the

authority to define it in City Code, appropriate a bulk of money, and this

proposed Ordinance allows Council to make recommendations to the

Mayor, but it would not be binding because it would ultimately be the

Mayor’s decision as to which of the three categories the money will be

spent on.

Councilmember Donelson stated the City is short on funding for the

Colorado Springs Police Department but does already spend a lot of

money on mental health and Post Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD)

programs and thinks citizens would support law enforcement funding with

this money.
