The City Council informally agreed Aug. 30 to extend moratoriums on the clinics and cafés, in order to buy time to write clear regulation.

The pain-management moratorium was recommended by by Flagler County Sheriff Donald Fleming and was implemented Dec. 21, 2010. It will expire Dec. 31, 2011.

According to an Aug. 30 presentation, the city currently has three pain-management clinics. All are in compliance, said City Manager Jim Landon said.

Internet cafés, too
Internet cafés were coming into the city at a rapid rate, but the City Council put a halt to such establishments May 10 by enacting a moratorium. That moratorium will expire Nov. 6.

The City Council agreed that the moratorium should be extended for another year, until May 2012, in order for state regulations to be adopted.
