The Palisade Board of Trustees voted Tuesday to extend a moratorium on applications for a third retail marijuana store in the town until Sept. 30 to give staff time to review and update the Marijuana Code.
Town Administrator Janet Hawkinson said the trustees have not yet directed staff to update the marijuana code, but that it would likely discuss it at its next meeting. The moratorium can be lifted early if the code is ready. The original moratorium was placed in September 2020 after the trustees voted to not approve the application for a business to operate a third store.
âThe simplest way to state . is the way the town originally wrote their marijuana code there were a certain amount of licenses given out and weâve gone through that process,â Hawkinson said. âSo we need to create a new licensing process for a third store to come in.â
The Palisade Board of Trustees voted unanimously Tuesday to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Clifton Fire District to pursue consolidation of fire services.
Town Administrator Janet Hawkinson said the effort began after former fire chief Richard Rupp announced his retirement. Two members of the Board of Trustees participated in discussions, called the East End Effort, around consolidating service and improving efficiencies for the various fire departments at the east end of the Grand Valley.
Through that process, the town and Clifton Fire District identified potential benefits to consolidation. Town Attorney Jim Neu said that by signing the agreement the town would enter into more formal talks about consolidating fire services between Palisade and Clifton.
