MAPSCO: N/A________________________________________________________________

SUBJECT

An ordinance amending Chapter 31 of the Dallas City Code to: (1) prohibit the use, possession, or sale of synthetic cannabinoids and salvia divinorum in the City; (2) prohibit the use or possession of paraphernalia used or intended to be used to introduce synthetic cannabinoids or salvia divinorum into the human body; (3) provide defenses; and (4) provide a penalty of up to $2,000 - Financing: No cost consideration to the City

BACKGROUND

The proposed ordinance would add Section 31-32.1 to the Dallas City Code to ban the use, possession, or sale of illegal smoking products, which are defined to include: (1) salvia divinorum (a psychoactive plant), and (2) several chemical compounds that are synthetic cannabinoids and that, when combined with plant material, create products commonly known as K-2, Spice, Yucatan Fire, and other names. Salvia divinorum and synthetic cannabinoids have been declared substances of concern in various countries, states, and cities and by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration because these products produce the same hallucinogenic effects of marijuana and cause many adverse side effects. These products are not currently illegal under state or federal laws and are available for purchase at many locations in the City of Dallas. The ordinance would also ban the use or possession of paraphernalia used or intended to be used to introduce synthetic cannabinoids or salvia divinorum into the human body. Defenses would be provided for law enforcement activities; governmental health, research, and education programs; lawfully operating medical, education, and research institutes; medical prescriptions; and bona fide religious ceremonies. The maximum fine for a violation of the ordinance would be $2,000. Many states and cities have already taken action to ban or restrict the use, possession, and sale of synthetic cannabinoids and salvia divinorum because of the danger these products pose to the public health, safety, and welfare.

On August 2, 2010, the City Council Public Safety Committee was briefed on the proposed ordinance.

8/3/10 ORDINANCE NO.

An ordinance adding Section 31-32.1 to CHAPTER 31, “OFFENSES - MISCELLANEOUS,” of the

Dallas City Code, as amended; defining terms; prohibiting the use, possession, or sale of synthetic

cannabinoids and salvia divinorum in the city; prohibiting the use or possession of paraphernalia used

or intended to be used to introduce synthetic cannabinoids or salvia divinorum into the human body;

providing defenses; providing a penalty not to exceed $2,000; providing a saving clause; providing a

severability clause; and providing an effective date.

WHEREAS, the city council has determined that businesses within the city are selling to the

general public products containing synthetic cannabinoids, salvia divinorum, or related chemicals that

when ingested produce intoxicating effects similar to marijuana; and

WHEREAS, these products are being sold, distributed, and marketed in the form of incense or

herbal smoking blends under names such as “K-2,” “K-2 SUMMIT,” “K-2 SEX,” “GENIE,” “SPICE,”

“DASCENTS,” “ZOHAI,” “SAGE,” “PEP SPICE,” “SOLAR FLARE,” “K O KNOCK-OUT 2,”

“SPICE GOLD,” “SPICE DIAMOND,” “SPICE CANNABINOID,” “YUCATAN FIRE,” “FIRE N’

ICE,” and “SALVIA DIVINORUM”; and

the increased use of these products and recognized the risk such products pose to the public health,

safety, and welfare; and

safety, and welfare because the adverse side effects from the use of synthetic cannabinoids, salvia

pallor, numbness and tingling, and in some cases, tremors and seizures; and

WHEREAS, the federal government and the State of Texas have not yet designated synthetic

cannabinoids, salvia divinorum, or related chemicals as controlled substances; and

WHEREAS, the city council believes that, in order to promote the public health, safety, and

welfare of the citizens of this city, products containing synthetic cannabinoids, salvia divinorum, or

related chemicals and paraphernalia should be prohibited in the city of Dallas; Now, Therefore,

SUBJECT

An ordinance amending Chapter 18 of the Dallas City Code to: (1) eliminate the cap on the maximum annual tonnage of solid waste for landfill disposal contracts; and (2) adjust the maximum discount for the five-year contract from seventeen percent to twenty-six percent - Financing: No cost consideration to the City

BACKGROUND

In September 2007, Council approved Ordinance No. 072837 allowing the Director of Sanitation Services to enter into disposal service contracts with solid waste haulers. Disposal contracts benefit the City by providing a known revenue stream to the landfill through a guaranteed volume (tonnage) of waste over a specified term. Contracts may be entered up to five years with a guaranteed volume of up to 250,000 tons annually. Waste haulers receive a discount from the landfill gate rate in consideration for the guaranteed volume, which discount percentage is established in Chapter 18 of the Dallas City Code. The ordinance currently specifies that the maximum annual volume allowed under any disposal contract is 250,000 tons per contract and that the maximum discount for a five-year term is seventeen percent. The proposed changes to the ordinance eliminates the volume cap and increases the highest tier of discount to twenty-six percent. These two changes are designed to attract additional waste volume to the city landfill and to further stabilize the revenue stream. The proposed changes will have no effect on existing disposal contracts. Each proposed future contract will continue to be evaluated by the Director of Sanitation Services to ensure ample landfill capacity for the residential customers and existing contracted haulers.

PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS)

On September 26, 2007, the City amended Chapter 18 of the Dallas City Code by Ordinance No. 26960 to provide for disposal service contracts with solid waste collection services that dispose of a guaranteed annual tonnage of solid waste at the City landfill for a discounted fee.
