All required users shall complete such a plan within ninety days after 10 notification by the City. If required by the City, a user who commences contribution to 11 the POTW after the effective date of this chapter (Ordinance 698, passed April 8, 1985), 12 shall not be permitted to introduce pollutants into the system until accidental discharge 13 procedures have been approved by the City. Review and approval of such plans and 14 operating procedures shall not relieve the user from the responsibility to modify the user's 15 facility as necessary to meet the requirements of this chapter. The City will evaluate, at 16 least once every two years, whether an industrial user without such protection will be 17 subjected to these requirements. In the case of an accidental discharge OR OTHER 18 DISCHARGE THAT COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS AT THE POTW, INCLUDING 19 SLUG LOAD DISCHARGES, the user shall immediately telephone and notify the 20 POTW of the incident. SUCH NOTIFICATION SHALL OCCUR AS SOON AS 21 POSSIBLE, BUT IN NO CASE MORE THAN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS AFTER THE 22 USER BECOMES AWARE OF THE ACCIDENTAL OR OTHER DISCHARGE THAT 23 COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS AT THE POTW. The notification shall include location 24 of discharge, type of waste, concentration and volume and correction actions. 25 (b) Within five days following such accidental discharge, the user shall submit to the 26 Director of Public Service a detailed written report describing the cause of the discharge 27 and the measures to be taken by the user to prevent similar future occurrences. Such 28 notification shall not relieve the user of any expense, loss, damage or other liability which 29 may be incurred as a result of damage to the POTW, fish kills or any other damage to

For accidental bypass, notice requirements are specified in paragraphs 16 (a), (b) and (c) hereof. If the user knows in advance of the need for bypass, a prior notice 17 shall be submitted to the City at least ten days before the date of the bypass. The City 18 may approve or disapprove this anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse effects. 19 (E) AN UPSET MAY CONSTITUTE AN AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE BY THE USER 20 IN UNINTENTIONAL AND TEMPORARY NONCOMPLIANCE WITH 21 APPLICABLE PRETREATMENT STANDARDS OR REQUIREMENTS, PROVIDED 22 IT CAN BE PROVED THAT: 23 (1) AN UPSET OCCURRED AND THE USER CAN IDENTIFY THE CAUSE; 24 (2) THE FACILITY WAS, AT THE TIME OF THE UPSET, BEING OPERATED IN A 25 PRUDENT AND WORKMANLIKE MANNER AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH 26 APPLICABLE OPERATIONAL AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES; 27 (3) THE USER SUBMITTED THE REQUIRED NOTIFICATIONS IN ACCORDANCE 28 WITH PARAGRAPHS (A) AND (B) HEREOF. 29 IN ANY ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS, THE USER SEEKING TO ESTABLISH 30 THE OCCURRENCE OF AN UPSET SHALL HAVE THE BURDEN OF PROOF.

June 21, 2011 MEMO TO: Members of the Lansing City Council FROM: IN RE: Kelly Rossman-McKinney Written Comments from Last Night's Public Hearing
Many thanks again for your attention to the concerns of an increasing number of business and community leaders deeply concerned about the overwhelming proliferation of marijuana stores in the city of Lansing. As I indicated last night, I speak on behalf of a number of businesses located along Michigan Avenue, including (but definitely not limited to) the following: Tim Daman, Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce Greater Lansing Convention & Visitors Bureau Lansing Lugnuts 621 Clara's Brogans Tire and Auto Service Jon Anthony Florist Sparrow Soup Spoon Cafe Gone Wired Iron Quest Fitness Bud Kouts Gillespie Company, L.L.C Gillespie Group Neogen Corporation Traction Cooley Law School Let me make it clear: we do not oppose marijuana stores but we do oppose the absolute proliferation of these stores in our community.
As long-time members of this community, many of us remember all too clearly the struggle to rid Michigan Avenue of the blight wrought upon us by porn shops and dirty bookstores that lined the gateway to the Capitol and to MSU. One of Mayor David Hollister's proudest accomplishments is the elimination of that blight. Unfortunately, we are heading in that direction again. We were stunned to learn of two critical statistics: 1) Lansing has more marijuana stores than any other community in Michigan; and, 2) Lansing has twice as many marijuana stores as the city of San Francisco. As a result, we strongly urge you to take the following additional action as you continue to deliberate the ordinance to regulate marijuana stores in our city: 1. Extend the current moratorium for 90 days. 2. Eliminate the F-1 zoning, which would allow stores in fragile neighborhoods on the cusp of success, including Reo Town, Old Town, East Michigan and West Saginaw. 3. Establish a cap of no more than 10 stores and distribute those stores throughout the city so that no one ward or neighborhood bears the brunt of the impact. 4. Eliminate the grandfather clause. 5. Prohibit on-site growing. 6. Prohibit on-site consumption. 7. Conduct strong background checks of all owners and employees. 8. Require product tracking and auditing. 9. Create a dispensary licensing board represented by a physician, dispensary, business owner and neighborhood leader. 10.Limit hours of operation. 11.Prohibit drive-throughs. 12.Establish a 1-year sunset. 13.Establish a task force that includes medical representation (our recommendation is Ingham County Health Director Dr. Dean Sienko, among others) to review best practices from other cities around the state, along with other states that allow marijuana stores. Again, we do not oppose marijuana stores but we do have deep concerns about the severe proliferation of these stores and their impact on our community. We urge you to take an additional 90 days to button this issue up in a way that preserves and protects the rights of patients, business owners and neighbors.
Chris Swope - City Clerk Lansing City Council 124 W. Michigan Lansing, MI 48933 Unanimous YES vote for the City of Lansing Michigan 's Medical Marijuana Ordinance
r.,.. rn
CD
-.a
Lansing residents are due a unanimous vote in support of the Medical Marijuana ordinance. The calls for extending the moratorium are a feeble attempt to undermine the voters of the City of Lansing by insulting their intelligence. The calls for additional studies and the conduct of Attorney General Bill Schuette regarding public safety are a desperate attempt by a bunch of narrow minded individuals who want to take the State of Michigan backwards to the good of days of incarcerating people in jails and prisons for Marijuana possession, manufacturing, and use. City of Lansing businesses on Michigan Avenue and other locations in the city have benefited immensely from Medical Marijuana. Businesses like the horticulture shops, coffee shops, and bars have benefited from the collateral economic growth of this industry in the city. Educational institutions like Michigan State University, Okemos Public Schools, and Shabazz Academy have benefitted from students wanting to learn how to grow and help deal with global climate change. This can be developed and used in the Lansing School District to enhance their math and science programs with the research into Industrial Hemp and Marijuana. We in the Medical Marijuana community are protecting the children through education and information instead of the mis-information of the D.A.R.E. program that treats marijuana use as a criminal act. Furthermore we hope that the council protects the constitutional rights of the voters instead of the prohibitionist stance from certain religious groups. GOD is bi-partisan and manufactures a good product from a seed. Lansing has become a place to visit and it is very evident from the visitors who come here from all over the State of Michigan to get some of the best marijuana in the United States of America. We manufacture excellent Marijuana right here in Lansing Michigan and maybe one day we will be exporting our products to all corners of the world. Lansing Michigan is a world class city with world class Marijuana. Therefore we hope that the Lansing City Council removes the 24/7 restrictions and vote yes in support of Ordinance #876. The people demand it. Sincerely,
Richard Clement - Coordinator Ingham County NORML www.minorml.org

For the council agenda >>> MMDA Dispensary Association <infodispensaryassociation.orq> 6/21/2011 5:02 PM >>> Carol I/we have obvious interests in Lansing dispensaries and have followed you throughout the media. Despite our differences of opinion I do sympathize with the concerns you have for your constituents and neighbors and applaud your efforts to do what you believe best for the city of Lansing. The following op-ed expresses my/our thoughts. Medical Marijuana Dispensary Association Approves Lansing Ordinances As an active investor in several medical marijuana operations and a citizen of Michigan, I share several concerns about the medical marijuana industry with opponents. Every day I hear citizens voicing discomfort about the prospect of a dispensary in their town and am often forced to agree with them.
A lot of this fear is moral panic brought upon by the status quo. A truer concern for communities is that of less-than-professional operators in the medical marijuana industry.
As a resident of Michigan I am concerned with some of the individuals that are co-piloting the business of medical marijuana in the State. It is a personal challenge to become the benchmark for dispensaries and provide comfort to my neighbors that we can serve patients without tarnishing our communities.
os^ D
Lansing is an example of what a town can expect when it refuses to address the issue of zoning dispensaries head on. I own one of the 40+ dispensaries in Lansing, Relief Choices, and have seen the growth of dispensaries here in a short period. Subsequently my business has also realized the effects of market saturation. Relief Choices was one of the first in the city and served the needs of many patients, that is until the town was soon flooded with competition.
I am in favor of a free and open market, just with some rules and standards attached.
(6/22/2011) Kevin Reeves - Fwd: OP-ed released
As a business we are committed to the medical use of marijuana and that is reflected by our advertising initiatives and branding. When such competition for medical marijuana exists in a community, as witnessed in Lansing, dispensaries in their need to compete often sacrifice their messaging. This behavior often tends to blur the lines and the marketing appeals more to a recreational consumer as opposed to a medical patient.
Neon-green-marijuana-leaf signs, the absolute fear of all communities, will come to those communities where competition is the greatest and/or local government has done little to address zoning issues. The "clean up" that Lansing is now undertaking will prove to be a challenge and I hope will serve as a lesson to all communities opting to ignore the zoning of dispensaries in their own town.
Ryan Richmond is the director of the Medical Marijuana Dispensary Association (dispensaryassociation.org ) Through our members we protect the public health by promoting the highest standards of practice and assist with regulations that help to govern the distribution of medical marijuana. Our promise to the public is what drives all decisions, standards and training efforts of the Medical Marijuana Dispensary Association. *Medical Marijuana Dispensary Association* *Delivering Our Promise to the Public*

Ashley Renkes <[email protected] > <[email protected] > 6/21/2011 5:29 PM Medical Marijuana
Dear City Council: Medical Marijuana should not be dispensed in residential areas, or near schools and churches. It is important to protect homeowners and the value of their land. It is important to protect children and parishioners from the criminal element we have already seen trying to rob these businesses and create an unsafe environment. In addition, allowing these dispensaries in high-traffic commercial areas will create a poor image of our city. Grandfathering in dispensaries that do not meet strict criteria for their operations and location would be unwise, and would have .a negative effect on all parties previously mentioned. It is up to you to stand up for the citizens of Lansing, people who own or rent homes here, pay taxes here, and want to be safe and free from drugs on every corner (which are still illegal under federal laws). Yes, medical marijuana is legal under Michigan law, but does that law actually trump federal law? Shouldn't we clamp down on medical MJ until it is appropriately dispensed by pharmaceutical standards in pharmacies (since it is for medical purposes only)? Would you want your property value cut in half because a medical MJ business moves in across the street from you? Would you want visitors seeing multiple medical MJ businesses along the main thoroughfares in Lansing? Please stand up for the majority of us that do not use medical MJ and don't want to see it spread across the city unnecessarily. Why should a city of a little over 100k people have more than one or two places to buy medical MJ (if any at all). This issue will be a deciding factor in my family's next vote for council members. If council does not protect the city from the spread of this (ultimately) illegal business, then I'm not sure what else council will protect us from... Thank you Ashley Renkes 3327 Gingersnap Lane, 48911

Another for the Council agenda >>> "Alice Williams" <Alice.Williams(aSPARROW.ORG > 6/21/2011 4:40 PM >>> I am writing to report increased break-in (per Mike Lamb's report to the Foster Neightborhood Association) and thief activity as well as a mugging at Michigan and Magnolia (directly across from the 24-7 clinic) and increased foot and bicycle traffic by random persons, mostly male, who appear to be passing through the neighborhood frequently and just "LOOKING AROUND." I have been approached three times in the past week when working in myfront yard by strangers who offer "to work for a little money...ie. pull weeds" I explain that I do not hire strangers...Please consider the effects of this crime increase on the home owner and rental population in our neighborhoods on the Eastside---l for one will not choose to remain here if this crime increase continues. I resent the business interests on Michigan Ave that have brought such a traffic of risk into our once peaceful, once safe working class neighborhood...Is Lansing this desperate? The deterioration of Michigan Ave to these clinics that do nothing to adorn themselves or refurbish their property, not to mention the increase in pawn shops and tatoo parlors, is rapidly destroying accessibility of ordinary businesses which sought to offer the Eastside as a viable mixed neighborhood. Please consider and vote for the amendments on the petition.
