Public Notice-Prohibits psilocybin-related businesses within Carlton. Prohibition sunsets after two years.

PUBLIC NOTICE

Notice is hereby given by Christy Martinez, Elections Officer for the City of Carlton, Oregon, of receipt on July 29, 2022, of a Ballot Title from the Carlton City Council with the following Ballot Title, Measure Question and Summary proposed to be referred to the electors of the city by the City Council:

CAPTION:

Prohibits psilocybin-related businesses within Carlton. Prohibition sunsets after two years.

QUESTION

Shall the City of Carlton prohibit psilocybin-related businesses for two years?

SUMMARY

State law allows for the manufacturing, transportation, delivery, sale and purchase of psilocybin, the psychedelic drug found in certain mushrooms. State law provides that a local government may adopt an ordinance to be referred to the voters to prohibit the establishment of licensed psilocybin product manufacturers and/or psilocybin service centers. The Carlton City Council adopted an ordinance to refer to the voters that temporarily prohibits psilocybin related businesses in Carlton to enable the city to consider local regulations once the state's psilocybin regulatory program is established.

Approval of the measure would prohibit the establishment of psilocybin product manufacturers and psilocybin service centers within the Carlton city limits until December 31, 2024.

I have determined the proposed measure to be in compliance with the requirements of Section 1(2)(d), of Article IV of the Oregon Constitution.

Notice is further given that any elector may file a petition for review of the Ballot Title with the Circuit Court of Yamhill County on or before the seventh business day after the Ballot Title was filed with the City Elections Officer.

Dated: August 2, 2022.

Christy Martinez

City of Carlton Elections Officer
