Deja vu for Tuesday's Whittier City Council meeting

Tuesday's Whittier City Council meeting is going to have a deja vu quality to it. Many items that have been considered in the past and continued for more discussion will come back at the 6:30 p.m. meeting. They range from July 4 celebration to key decisions on how to handle new development to medical marijuana dispensaries.

The issue for medical marijuana is whether to scrap the city's ordinance that allows them in limited locations and ban the dispensaries. This comes as a Pico Rivera woman is applying to the city to open a business. Another issue will be just what kind of non-fireworks celebration the council might want to have. Councilwoman Cathy Warner is bringing this back. But there remains a question on whether she can get three votes to do anything.

Warner also has asked to review the historical heritage commission and its role. And the council will look at a proposal to eliminate the Design Review Board.
