What this means
The committee restored funding and jobs in the city’s General Services Department, which supports building maintenance and city operations. It approved reports that update the public on construction projects and a fee study that aims to set cannabis licensing and inspection fees to cover the city’s regulatory costs. The committee also agreed to pause the planned 2025 cannabis retail license lottery, so no licenses will be issued through that specific lottery this year.
