Four Grand Junction City Council members were sworn in Monday morning for new four-year terms after winning their elections on April 6.
Rick Taggart was reelected, and Abe Herman, Randall Reitz and Dennis Simpson were elected for the first time. The new council members met at City Hall in front of a small gathering, which included city staff and the three City Council members who were not up for reelection.
The new council started off with a work session Monday evening, which included discussion about allowing marijuana businesses in the city.
According to the agenda, discussion items were to include whether regulations should be put in place, the timeframe for licensing new marijuana businesses and whether to establish a cap on the number of certain marijuana licenses.

Or perhaps my status as a native hereabouts with some experience in local campaigning. But count me a little less certain than some about the possibility that last weekâs Grand Junction City Council election marks some sort of turning point in local politics.
âAll of the far-right candidates seeking seats on the Grand Junction City Council were defeated on Tuesday, a sign that the influence of Trumpism and Lauren Boebert might already be waning in conservative circles,â opined the anonymous authors of the left-leaning political blog Colorado Pols.
Grand Junction Election Results: Door Opens to Marijuana Business
Grand Junction Says Yes to Marijuana
Since the legalization of recreational marijuana in Colorado in 2012 and the first dispensaries opening in 2014, there has been much debate and discussion about bringing the marijuana business to Grand Junction. Local residents have watched other communities in western Colorado reap the benefits of marijuana taxation, all the while wondering how long it would be before Grand Junction would get a piece of the pot pie
According to the final unofficial election results released by the city clerk s office, Grand Junction voters have opened the door to marijuana businesses in the city. The vote was closer than what many may have expected with 58% of voters saying yes to ballot question 2B and 42% voting no.
