W RAGNAR
Special Event Information - Ragnar Relay Minnesota
The Ragnar Relay Minnesota is a 200-mile-long distance running relay race proposed to start in St. Paul
and end in Duluth August 8-9, 2025. Runners will experience "Minnesota Nice" on a scenic course that
runs north on miles and miles of roads and trails! We anticipate 230 teams comprised of 12 individuals
and 2 vehicles ("Ultra" teams have 6 participants and 1 vehicle), therefore we expect about 2,500
participants in total, but only 230 or less runners spread over 30-50 miles of course at any given time.
Teams take turns running relay style to complete the course, picking up a runner and dropping off the
next runner at each of the 36 exchange points along the course.
Parking/Traffic Flow:
• Ragnar teams start in waves staggered from 5:00 am —1:00 pm to spread participants along the
course, allowing about an 8-10 hour time frame to pass through communities.
• We anticipate less than 300 parking spots during our peak hours for Ragnar vehicles at major
exchanges. Throughout most of the race, you can expect only 30-60 vehicles onsite.
Each team is responsible for providing two support vehicles, with six runners in each vehicle.
The first vehicle will drop off the first runner at the start, and then proceed to the first exchange
point. At the first exchange, the vehicle will drop off the second runner and pick up the first
runner when that runner's leg is complete. Teams will repeat this pattern for six legs until they
hand off to their second vehicle. This leapfrogging pattern will continue all the way to the finish
line.
Race Personnel Onsite:
• Ragnar will have an exchange manager and volunteers present during the entire race at each
exchange point. Additionally, Ragnar staff will be present throughout the event to ensure
everything is running smoothly.
Sanitation and Garbage Disposal:
• Ragnar will provide portable toilets at all exchanges.
• Ragnar staff and volunteers will manage all trash clean up. A trash dumpster will be provided to
collect team trash and will be removed after the event.
Safety, Emergencies and First Aid
Runner safety is of foremost concern. Before entering the course, teams must go through a safety gear
check and training. All runners sign waivers acknowledging that the course includes areas where there
may be traffic congestion and that they must obey race rules, which require observance of all applicable
traffic rules and regulations.
Runners and community residents can notify Ragnar through the Ragnar Race Command number, 661-
RAGNAR-1 (661-724-6271), with any concerns of problems along the course. Medical personnel are at
each Major Exchange point, approximately every 25-35 miles of the course. If a runner encounters a first
aid issue at a minor exchange, they are to proceed to the closest major exchange to be treated. In the
event of an emergency, runners are directed to contact 911 and then notify Ragnar staff.
W RAGNAR
M RAGNAR
Volunteers
Exchanges are staffed by a combination of team required volunteers and community groups and
charities trained on site by Ragnar Staff. Groups and charities are given a donation for providing
volunteers to manage logistics such as parking, exchange chute details, team tracking and general
runner directions. Volunteers are released by a staff member once the last runner has come through.
Community Impact
Communities directly benefit economically from money spent by participants for food, lodging and
other services. Additionally, Ragnar partners with regionally based charities and groups for each event
to encompass an even more positive impact on the local communities.
These overnight relays benefit both participants and the communities where they are presented.
Participants have been unfailingly enthusiastic about their experiences and there are always a wide
variety of human -interest stories associated with these events. These range from the experienced
runner finding special meaning through participation in a running event as a member of a team, to the
first-time runner who participates at the urging of a friend and discovers previously unknown abilities
and a love for running; to families, businesses, old friends and other groups who enhance their
relationships as they individually and collectively test their limits; to teams who simply run for a cause,
whether in honor of a deceased friend or relative, or to raise money for local charities or another charity
of special importance to the team.
Insurance
We are sanctioned under USA Track and Field. If you would like a Certificate of Liability Insurance for $1
million in coverage, we are happy to provide that upon request. Please inform us what entity to have
listed on that certificate.

MEETING DATE: March 4, 2025
TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 25-21 Approving Permanent Right of Way
Easement and Agreement with Ramsey County, 135E/CRJ
Interchange Project
VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council consideration to transfer existing City right-of-way to Ramsey
County for the reconstruction of the 135E/CR J interchange improvements.
BACKGROUND
Ramsey County continues to work toward completion of the plans and specifications of the 1-
35E/CRJ Interchange for proposed bid letting in spring of 2025. As discussed at the January 6,
2025 work session, staff is continuing to work with Anoka County, Ramsey County and MnDOT,
regarding jurisdiction of the roadway between Centerville Road and 20t" Avenue.
As previously explained, County Road J, between Centerville Road and Otter Lake Road is under
the jurisdiction of multiple road authorities. The City of Lino Lakes, Anoka County, Ramsey
County and Mn/DOT each share responsibility for certain portions of the roadway. The north
half of CRJ, from Centerville Road to approximately 20t" Avenue, is under the City's jurisdiction.
The road is not currently on the City or County's municipal state aid system. However, all
parties are proposing the use of state aid as part of the funding. We have been informed by
Mn/DOT that roadways cannot share Municipal and County State Aid Designations.
After considerable discussion Ramsey County is proposing to take over as the responsible road
authority for this section. This would allow Ramsey County to designate this as a state aid
roadway. City, County and DOT staff are working through the logistics of this transfer. At this
time, it appears that City will need to transfer our roadway easement rights to Ramsey County.
This will be done by granting Ramsey County a public road easement over the subject area.
The City will remain responsible for cost associated with the improvement consistent with the
County's cost participation policy. A separate Joint Powers Agreement will be considered
regarding cost participation.
Staff is still working with Anoka County and Ramsey County regarding title of the right-of-way.
with the road right-of-way. The agreement will be subject to final review and approval of the
City Attorney.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 25-21.

WHEREAS, the portion of the right-of-way under the jurisdiction of Lino Lakes is proposed to be

TOPIC: i. Consider 2nd Reading of Ordinance No. 02-25, Amending
Chapter 1007 of the City Code Relating to Cannabis
Businesses
ii. Consider Resolution No. 25-33, Approving Summary of
Ordinance No. 02-25
VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council consideration to adopt amendment to the Zoning Ordinance
(Chapter 1007 of City Code) relating to cannabis businesses as well as a summary of Ordinance
No. 02-25 for publication.
BACKGROUND
As discussed at the December 2, 2024 and January 6, 2025, work sessions, Minnesota Statutes,
Chapter 342, adopted in 2023 and amended in 2024 authorizes the cultivation, manufacturing
and sale of cannabis products. Minnesota's new Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) will be
responsible for the licensing of cannabis businesses. The State is currently completing the
rulemaking process which will likely be completed after the first of the year (2025).
There are 13 different types of business licenses. These include:
Microbusiness
Mezzobusiness
Cultivator
Manufacturer
Retailer
Wholesaler
Transporter
Testing Facility
Event Organizer
Delivery Service
Medical Cannabis Combo
Bus.
Lower -Potency Hemp Manuf.

Lower -Potency Hemp
Retailer
The City Council previously amended Chapter 617 of City Code establishing registration
requirements for Cannabis Business including, number of retail licenses allowed, buffer
requirements from certain uses, and performance standards.
The amendment to Chapter 1007 relates to the City's role as the zoning authority. Cannabis
businesses are viewed as any other type of legal business, subject to the City's general zoning
regulations. A zoning ordinance text amendment has been drafted to include the various
license types into appropriate zoning districts.
ANALYSIS
For purposes of the Zoning requirements the primary focus will be on the appropriate districts
for each use. It is also necessary to determine whether the use is a permitted or conditional
use based on similar uses already established in the districts.
The licensed uses fall within the following categories:
Cultivation. Cannabis business licensed or endorsed for cultivation would be permitted as an
agricultural use and would be permitted indoor and outdoor in the R — Rural district. Indoor
cultivation would also be considered in Industrial districts.
Cannabis Manufacturer. Cannabis business licensed or endorsed for cannabis manufacturer
would be a permitted manufacturing use in the Light Industrial and General Industrial districts.
Consideration should be given to whether this would be a permitted or conditional use in the
Business Campus district.
Hemp Manufacturer. Cannabis business licensed or endorsed for low -potency hemp edible
manufacturers permitted as a manufacturing use in the industrial districts.
Wholesale. Cannabis business licensed or endorsed for wholesale would be permitted as a
wholesale sales use in the Light and General Industrial Districts and the Business Campus
districts.
Cannabis Retail. Cannabis business licensed or endorsed for cannabis retail are permitted as
retail sales in the Neighborhood Business, Limited Business, and General Business, Light
Industrial, General Industrial and Business Campus districts.
Cannabis Transportation and Cannabis Delivery. Cannabis business licensed or endorsed for
Transportation and Deliver would be permitted as warehousing uses in the Light and General
Industrial Districts and the Business Campus District.
The draft ordinance proposes the inclusion of cannabis uses as permitted where similar
activities are currently allowed. No conditional uses are proposed. Except for
microbusinesses, uses that included cultivation or retail sales were not allowed in the BC,
Business Campus district.
Planning & Zoning Board
The Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing on January 8, 2025 and February 12, 2025.
No public comment was received. The board unanimously recommended approval of
Ordinance No. 02-25.
The City Council approved the 15Y Reading of Ordinance No. 02-25 on February 24, 2025.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of the 2nd Reading of Ordinance No. 02-25 and Resolution No.
25-33.
