![]() Why did the Traveler leave us but remain with you? I have accepted that the Traveler is not mine to judge, but even without judgment, I am curious. Why it became your Traveler and stayed to guard you. Instead, I preach to my people that we must be the best Eliksni we can be.īut always there is the question. But as you say, I should not diminish my own kinship with Light, for it is in all places and things. You speak of Light as an intervention in reality from outside, parallel to causality. It is not separate from the physical world. It is received in radiation and discharged in the neuron. For me, Light is in the air and the joints. Truly my knowledge of Light is distinct from your own. Meetings are free and open to the public.With respectful courtesiis and the proper bow, on the first and third Tuesday of the month at 421 Main St. The Chico City Council mostly meets at 6 p.m. Coolidge asked Brown for a timeframe to which she said within a month after approval.Įwing and City Clerk Debbie Presson informed the board that the item could not be brought back before the board unless a member of the majority vote requested it come back. With the additional information off the table, Brown asked that the agenda item to allow for more delivery businesses to come back before the board once the three storefronts are open and operating. After some consideration Tandon voted against receiving additional information, striking down the item. Ultimately the vote garnered support from Brown, Mayor Andrew Coolidge and Vice Mayor Kasey Reynolds and was opposed by Morgan, O’Brien and Bennet making Councilor Deepika Tandon the swing vote. ![]() Once the licenses have been distributed to the three new businesses and they are approved for delivery, the city will then be able to regulate outside delivery, though how that will be done is still uncertain.īrown suggested that the council ask Ewing to research more information on how to regulate the outside deliveries to lighten the concerns. “It also means better economic outcomes for Chico - more jobs and fairer pricing due to the overall healthy competition created within the market.”Ĭouncilors Michael O’Brien and Dale Bennet backed Morgan with O’Brien citing concerns over moving too quickly.ĭuring the public comment on the item, Charles Burton, who is one of the local entrepreneurs hoping to open a storefront, spoke in favor of allowing for additional deliveries as it would allow for those who are denied a license to fall back on a delivery-only model.Ī consistent concern from councilors was cannabis deliveries from outside of the city and how to halt that in favor of local businesses. “Contrary to the belief of some people on this dais, more delivery operation does not mean more cannabis on the street it means more local options for consumers it means they get a variety of access to business and the products that they want to buy and the business models that they want to support,” Brown said. You’re certainly benefiting those who get one of the delivery opportunities by allowing them to control the market in Chico including pricing and availability, but you’re not benefitting the majority of Chico with that model.”Īdditionally, Brown said allowing for additional delivery businesses would not mean more cannabis but rather an expanded market. Creating monopolies of businesses is never a good idea. “Where we are is exploring the best method for regulating a legal industry and getting as much benefit from it with as little harm as possible. “Despite the moral arguments that often get made in this space, I think this conversation needs to go far beyond whether cannabis is good or bad,” Brown said. I don’t see how flooding the market with more delivery businesses is in any way a good idea.”Ĭouncilor Alex Brown said she had concerns over potentially allowing a few companies to control the market for cannabis in Chico. I don’t think now before we’ve even tried to see what happens with the three establishments that can do deliveries. “We don’t allow the free enterprise system just to be completely clean and regulation-free for a good reason. “We don’t allow (liquor stores) all over the place for a very good reason,” Morgan said. Morgan compared regulating cannabis deliveries to that of liquor stores. “Having not tested this, not having a store open and having absolutely no idea, we’re saying ‘yep, let’s bring more in.'” “If we vote yes on this item, we are saying we need more routes to cannabis in Chico and there are not enough places to get it with the three retail sites that have all the deliveries they want,” Morgan said.
