PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: City Council has made appointments to the Retail and Medical Marijuana Licensing Authority selecting individuals to serve terms which expire at the end of a particular calendar year.

BACKGROUND: Due to the term expiration of Incumbent Dr. Jeffrey Newcom, there is one appointment available to serve a four-year term expiring July 1, 2023 on the Retail and Medical Marijuana Licensing Authority. Following an advertisement published in the Pueblo Chieftain and an announcement on the City Clerk’s webpage seeking volunteers to serve on this board, one application was received from Joseph J. Perko. Incumbent Dr. Jeffrey Newcom does wish to be considered for reappointment. The applications were reviewed, and interviews were conducted by Mayor Gradisar on July 2, 2019. Mayor Gradisar has recommended that Joseph J. Perko be appointed. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: This is a volunteer committee and members serve without compensation. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: None. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: None. ALTERNATIVES: Remove from the agenda and re-advertise for additional applications. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Resolution. ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Resolution
