Ordinance Series of 2016 – 001 – An ordinance amending Section 5.04.020 D. of the Estacada Municipal Code regarding business and occupation licenses – CM explained that the way our current business license code reads, a license cannot be issued to any business that goes against federal law. This ordinance changes the code to make a narrow exception for the sale, grow or manufacture of marijuana as allowed by the State of Oregon. Cr. Neujahr asked about taxing options. CM explained that the cities in Oregon that did impose a tax are not collecting any money and she doesn’t recommend imposing a tax at this time. The State will collect a tax to pay for the rules and regulations put in place. Oregon cities will see a percentage of that money, based on population, in about 3 years. Mayor Dodrill shared his concern about several marijuana operations opening in the industrial area. CM explained that those businesses require a tremendous amount of water so the city may not have the capacity to allow them. Cr.
