Four marijuana ballot issues possible Advocates on both side of sales dispute file statements of intent By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Two separate efforts are underway to place a total of four marijuana-related ballot questions in the hands of Englewood voters. There have been two separate notices of intent filed with the city clerk as the initial step necessary to put the issues on
the November ballot. The next step calls for the city clerk to certify the petitions for each ballot issue. Then proponents must circulate separate petitions for each of the four issues. “In order to get an issue on the ballot, supporters must collect the signatures of at least 597 registered voters on each set of petitions …,” said Lou Ellis, city clerk. “They must complete the effort to collect signatures and file the petitions by 5 p.m. Aug. 10.” Englewood residents Donna Macdonald and Peggy Bogaard-Lapp filed their
notice of intent on June 10 to place two issues on the November ballot. One proposed ballot question would ask voters to prohibit the sale of recreational marijuana in Englewood. That proposal would also ban marijuana cultivation and manufacturing facilities. The other proposed ballot issue would ask voters to rescind the city ordinance permitting the sale of medical marijuana. “We are in the beginning stages of the effort to put these questions on the November ballot,” Bogaard-Lapp said. “We felt it was necessary to pull the trigger
and file the notices for the ballot issues. We are organizing and we have a lot of support.” On June 17, Timothy Brown and Bruce Carter also filed notice of intent to put two issues on the November ballot. One ballot proposal would permit the sale of recreational marijuana in Englewood. It would also allow the three licensed medical marijuana facilities to apply for licenses to sell recreational marijuana. Marijuana continues on Page 5
