WATERTOWN — The City Council will take the first step on Tuesday night to keep marijuana dispensaries from opening up in the city. In an informal vote three weeks ago, the City Council instructed City Manager Kenneth A. Mix to draft a law that would ban the sale and distribution of marijuana in the city. On Tuesday night, council members are expected to schedule a public hearing on July 19 for the public to weigh in on the issue. According to the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act, signed into law by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo in March, cities, towns and villages can decide to opt out of allowing retail dispensaries, although they would have to forego those tax revenues generated by the marijuana establishments.
