4. Medical marihuana.
Recent MTA information is in your packet. There will be someone at our next meeting promoting the opt-in of the township in the marihuana issue.
Per attorney, this info is nothing new; there is a big push to allow this in townships from an economic aspect. Board members must weigh if this will bring in good people to the township, help employment, effect on our new authority, college, Arauca/present development. We should probably go into closed session at our next meeting regarding this. If we decide to have a public hearing on this, Attorney Meihn will chair it. How will this affect our tax base? (Correct spelling of Arauco, per 9/12/17 minutes.)
