Council Minutes of 10-1-2019 the City so far is the Juvenile Court has declined to prosecute on some marijuana charges, which is concerning. This was an area where the City hoped to be successful in getting children some education. Working with Youth and Family Service Administrator Allegra and Police Chief Wagner, the City is going to try to find a local way to handle it. The City will continue to process these and send them to Juvenile Court, if the Court declines to prosecute, we will try to come up with a way on the local level that might be effective to address it.
