Trustee Hoefert •Village should not be obligated to allow the sale of recreational cannabis just because the state says we can. Not enough information available to make a decision to opt -in at this time. Supports a "wait and see" approach; supports decision to opt -out. Trustee Zadel • Decision to either opt in or out is made with the best interest of • own community in mind. • Impressed with the -• facility in Mount Prospect; chain of custody required and • control procedures and protocol are very stringent. • Regulation of the retail sale of cannabis produces a safer, more pure product. Reasons to live in Mount Prospect far outweigh reasons not to live in Mount Prospect and existence of a recreational cannabis dispensary will not change this. Costs associated with legalization will exist with or without a recreational dispensary; dedicating cannabis revenue toward public safety, public education etc., will help cover thos costs. Supports decision to opt -in. Trustee Hatzis • Difficult decision; weighed the pros and cons. • The safety of our children is at risk; opt -out is the best decision for our community • Supports decision to opt -out. Trustee Saccotelli • Decisions are made my those who vote; referendum results showed the majority of Mount Prospect voters voted to support the legalization of cannabis in Cook County. • Recommendations to opt -in were received from the Economic Development, Finance and Planning and Zoning Commissions whose members are residents. The conditional use process will allow the Board to carefully review and regulate each application. •Supports decision to opt -in. Trustee Grossi • Reminded all that cannabis is illegal at the federal level. • Black market is here to stay; the sale of recreational cannabis will not change this. • Allowing the sale of recreational cannabis in Mount Prospect will affect our brand. • Supports decision to opt -out. Trustee Rogers • Personally against legalization but considered all aspects when making decision for the community. • Understands cannabis will be available, but we, as a community, should not contribute to the ease of accessibility to the product. • Supports decision to opt -out. Mayor Juracek • Issue should be considered realistically and practically; the State made the moral decision to make it legal and now we must make a responsible, ethical decision for our community. • Decision is not solely based on tax revenue. • Legalization will regulate the sale, resulting in a safer, purer product. • Legalization provides a safe, legal source for those who use cannabis for both medical and recreational purposes. • Supports decision to opt -in. Motion by Michael Zadel, second by Colleen Saccotelli to approve the Opt -In Ordinance related to recreational cannabis, including text amendment to Chapter 11 and Chapter 14 of the Village Code.

The initial budget for the traffic signal was $400,000. As the project developed, the scope expanded • include roadway• • relocation of light poles and electrical work.

The Vill,•- requested assistance from• -• Development Advisors to r- -analyze the project pr• • • budget. -• •'-• the agreement was viable. The agreement would obligate the Village to share 50% of all sales and food and beverage taxes generated from the property with Speed GMX Mount Prospect. LLC up to a maximum reimbursement amount of $400,000. The term of the agreement is for ten years but it is estimated that the total amount would be paid back in approximately four years. Mr. Cooney stated revenue estimates for the project are approximately $223, 100. Mr. Cooney stated staff supports approval of the Cooney provided • •wing in response to questions fr• Board: Completion of this project was at risk without this agreement; installation of the traffic light is critical to this project.
