parents each year, resulting in almost 1000 children in the United States murdered during visitation with an

divorce or custody disputes; and

include training on domestic violence, child abuse, childhood trauma, coercive control, and post-separation
abuse for all professionals involved in family court cases; and
WHEREAS, Family Court Awareness Month recognizes the need to incorporate evidence-based research into
the court’s decisions. This includes the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Study. This research
highlights long term effects of exposure to abuse in childhood and emphasizes the need for research-informed
and impartial decision-making to protect children’s well-being; and
WHEREAS, Family Court Awareness Month aims to encourage collaboration among legislators, advocates,
professionals, and the community to improve family court practices, ensuring they are guided by evidencebased research and prioritize the safety and best interests of children;

Date: September 24, 2026
Re: Public hearing on proposed kratom ordinance
I recommend that Council call a public hearing on the attached ordinance concerning
kratom and products containing 7-hydroxymitragynine, commonly called 7-OH.
Kratom is a plant sold in forms such as powders, capsules, drinks, and extracts. Regular
use can lead to dependence and withdrawal. Reported health effects include nausea, dizziness,
seizures, and liver problems. Products may also vary in strength or contain contaminants.
Concentrated 7-OH products raise particular concern because they can have stronger opioid-like
effects than traditional kratom leaf. Michigan health officials have reported more severe overdose
and withdrawal concerns with these enhanced products.
The proposed ordinance would prohibit the sale and distribution of kratom and synthetic
variants in Garden City, along with other activities such as growing, giving, and advertising them.
It also provides possible business license action for businesses who sell kratom in violation of the
ordinance.
