Red Bluff City Council reviews status of cannabis ordinance
RED BLUFF, California . — On Tuesday, the Red Bluff City Council will review the status of a drafted cannabis ordinance and a petition submitted by a group hoping to bring commercial cannabis businesses to Tehama County for the first time.
Cody Strock, director of Revive Red Bluff, says they have gathered roughly 1,400 signatures supporting the initiative to bring legalized commercial cannabis back in June and submitted the signatures to the City of Red Bluff. The city has received the signatures from the group to verify.
"They told me it was on track. I submitted around 1,600 signatures or so, and the vast majority of them, 98% are valid. Which puts me about 200% to goal for the threshold of what is required to make this happen," Strock said.
In May, the city council selected an attorney to represent the city as a special cannabis counsel, assisting the city with revisions to the draft cannabis ordinance.
Strock says he is pushing the ordinance to move forward in having residents who want to establish a cannabis business in Tehama county have the ability to do so.

Jessica MacKenzie, a longtime commercial cannabis advocate, shook her head in disbelief Thursday, discussing the June 1 council meeting which finally reopened the commercial cannabis application process."
