The special meeting on cannabis will be held at 6 p.m. after the council convenes for executive session.
The meeting was previously scheduled for Nov. 9 was but canceled due to a lack of quorum.
The council will discuss how recreational cannabis or medical cannabis should be regulated, zoned and permitted for land use purposes in Howell.
An ordinance was passed in July banned any type of cannabis business from setting up shop in Howell. However, council members agreed to decide amongst themselves on a timeframe to revisit the issue.
Marijuana use was legalized in New Jersey last year, but state lawmakers left it up to each town to decide if they wanted to ban or limit the number of dispensaries locally.
If the town had opted in, it would have been bound to this decision for five years, but by opting out the decision can be reversed at any moment.
