Legislature legalized cannabis production and retails sales. This is the first council <br />review/discussion of substance on this issue. The Office of Cannabis management is <br />still undertaking rule making and seeking a permanent director. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br />Goal for this meeting is to share information and begin process of understanding rules <br />and regulations. Included in packet is study done for City of Vadnais Heights on potential <br />revenue from Cannabis sales. Will explain/discuss at workshop. Also include is draft <br />ordinance and next steps documents from K & G as well as material from the Office of <br />Budget Management and the Public Health Law Center and Mitchel Hamline. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: <br />A progressive city that is welcoming and desirable destination to all ages and cultures, <br />who seek progress through partnership, and a place where residents can live, work and <br />play safely and show pride in the community. <br /> <br /> <br />Financial Impact: <br />See Vadnais Heights document - includes retail space, insurance, employees, <br />inventory, licensing, legal, etc. ideally offset and exceeded by revenue. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Continue exploring, asking questions. Adopting an ordinance can be done and should <br />be done, sooner than later – regardless of the final decision on operating a municipal <br />store. <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />________________________ <br />Nyle Zikmund <br />City Administrator
