The Gaylord City Council declined to amend the city's marijuana ordinance Monday night to permit a golf outing at the Otsego Club and Resort in August that would have allowed the consumption of cannabis and related products.

GAYLORD — While the Gaylord City Council is comfortable with the recreational use of marijuana, the panel isn’t ready yet to allow the open consumption of the drug in the city.

On a 4-2 vote Monday night, council amended the city’s marijuana ordinance to allow the temporary suspension of marijuana licenses even if there is a minor violation while rejecting a proposal for a cannabis golf outing in August.

Stephen Hartz, Mike Ryan, Mayor Todd Sharrard and Vic Ouellette voted in favor of the motion while council members Jordan Awrey and Alan Witt were opposed.

Council changed the ordinance even after Ouellette cautioned against that action.
