Status of pot club regs

It just occurred to me that I hadn't seen anything about the pot club regulations proposed by Mirkarimi... a small delay, but doesn't sound like it will kill it.
Last-Minute Appeal Delays Passage Of SF Marijuana Legislation
POSTED: 9:21 pm PDT October 25, 2005
SAN FRANCISCO --
A last-minute appeal has temporarily halted the passage of San Francisco's first set of medical marijuana regulations, delaying a final vote on the legislation until Nov. 15 at the earliest. Bill Barnes, a former aide to Supervisor Chris Daly, filed the appeal on Friday... Barnes pointed to the possibility of the closure of three pot clubs on Haight Street and many more throughout the city, and how this could affect traffic and other environmental considerations if medical marijuana patients have to travel to find a new clinic. "That's a significant change," he said. "(The supervisors) should at least tell the people of San Francisco how it is going to affect them." ... Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi, sponsor of the legislation, struck a more positive note, arguing that his ordinance had sufficient support to pass the board. "We are very close to coming to an agreement," he said, adding that the current moratorium on new pot clubs, set to expire next month, may have to be extended to allow for the delay.
