SUMMARY:
This Resolution confirms the appointment by the Mayor of a member to the Retail and Medical
Marijuana Licensing Authority to serve a four-year term expiring July 1, 2023.
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.
Amended City Charter Section 4-4 (i) now requires that such appointments be made by the Mayor,
subject to confirmation by City Council.
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.

Remove from the agenda and re-advertise for additional applications.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Resolution.
