PORTALES As the city grapples with New Mexico’s legalization of recreational marijuana use, the city council on Thursday gave a first acknowledgement of a proposed ordinance that would regulate the smoking of tobacco and marijuana in the city.
The council decided to schedule a public workshop on the ordinance for its Aug. 3 meeting, and a public hearing and final decision on the proposed ordinance at its Aug. 17 session.
A notice of the proposed ordinance was expected to be published today in The News, City Clerk Joan Martinez-Terry said, fulfilling another requirement before an ordinance can become effective.
