City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Gayle Bauman, Finance Director
Item Title/Subject: Review Utility Rates for 2025
COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Staff is requesting City Council to review and provide feedback on the proposed utility rates for 2025.
UTILITY RATES
Sewer Fund
Staff is proposing a 4% increase in rates. The impact on a household that uses an average of 16,000 gallons of
water per quarter would be $4.23 per quarter or $16.92 per year. Because the plan is to complete $1,000,000 of
sewer lining in 2025, the fund will realize a cash loss in 2025, but the 4% rate increase will assist in maintaining a
sufficient cash balance for the long term.
Street Lighting Fund
Staff is proposing a 5% increase in rates. The impact on a household would be $0.25 per quarter or $1.00 per
year. This fund had no rate increases from 2019 to 2023.
Surface Water Management Fund
Staff is proposing a 17.6% increase. The impact on a household would be $3.00 per quarter or $12.00 per year.
This fund will require increases for the foreseeable future. The mandates related to storm water ponds is putting
a strain on the fund. Council and Staff will need to prioritize projects and seek grant funding in order to proceed
with work. Original proposal was $1.50 per quarter. Amount increased due to cost estimates related to Ardan
and Silver View Park Storm Water Projects.
Water Fund
As council is aware, this fund is facing some challenges. There is a cash deficit projected in the Water Fund in
excess of $750,000 at the end of 2024. Even with the rate increase being proposed for 2025, the budget shows
the fund will still lose money. The goal is to try to spread rate increases out over a period of years to bring this
fund back into the black.
The City assesses two types of water rates – a fixed, flat fee and a rate applied to gallons used. The flat fee is
meant to cover fixed costs in the fund. Fixed costs are those that do not change based on water use. These would
include wages, debt service, insurance, memberships, training, and some supplies and professional services.
These costs remain the same no matter how many gallons of water are used per year. Our fixed costs are currently
in excess of $900,000 per year, partly due to the debt service payments due through 2036. Examples of fixed
costs are: Personnel $591,740
Supplies $ 40,000
Insurance $ 12,300
Training/Dues $ 5,830
Debt Service $431,497
The debt will be fully paid off in 2036, but fixed costs will still exceed $600,000 per year.
The flat fee revenue included in the 2024 budget totals $302,220. The flat fee proposed for the 2025 budget totals
$499,320.
The City also has a rate for Service Line Repair Insurance. The cost for service line repairs has more than doubled
over the past few years from $90,000 in 2021 to $194,000 in 2023. It is not anticipated that these costs will go
down any time soon. The proposed rate will increase the annual revenue from $110,880 to $160,160.
Staff is proposing an increase in the flat fee for 2025, from $23.00 per quarter to $38.00 per quarter ($13,140
revenue per year for every $1 increase). Staff is also proposing an increase in the Service Line Repair Insurance
fee from $9.00 per quarter to $13.00 per quarter ($12,320 revenue per year for every $1 increase). No increase
to the usage rates is being proposed except to bring the two higher tiers of the commercial rates more in line with
where they should be. These only affect commercial usage over 700,000 gallons per quarter.
The impact of the two flat fee increases on a household would be $19.00 per quarter or $76.00 per year.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
Nyle Zikmund, City Administrator
FROM: Joseph L. Sathe, Assistant City Attorney
DATE: September 19, 2024
RE: Initial Cannabis Regulatory Decisions
The purpose of this memo is to provide a high-level overview of the options cities will have
regarding adult-use cannabis and to obtain preliminary input on some questions that will be used
to draft the City’s ordinance(s) related to cannabis and hemp.
This memo is based on the information available at this time. The Office of Cannabis Management
(“OCM”) has released a draft of its administrative rules which will go through a comment period
and are subject to change over the next few months.
Enclosed is the OCM’s Guide for Local Government on Adult-Use Cannabis without any of the
exhibits (which can still be found online, including the OCM’s “model” ordinacne). This is a
document includes additional information on cannabis businesses. I have also included a separate
document that contains the outline of what the City’s cannabis regulations could look like based
on the answers to the questions in this memo. This model is mainly provided for reference at this
point and it is not necessary to review with specificity.
Answering these questions will guide staff in drafting language specifically for the city ordinances.
I. DECISIONS – GENERALLY
Under the Cannabis Act, cities generally maintain their ability to enact regulations with two
primary limitations: (1) the City may not prohibit the establishment or operation of a cannabis or
hemp business licensed by the OCM; and (2) the Legislature has established a maximum buffer
from certain uses. Cities will retain the ability to enact certain ordinances even if it consents to
have the county issue registrations, as discussed in Section IV.
II. ZONING DECISIONS – DESIGNATING ZONING DISTRICTS
2
MU210\317\977365.v1-9/19/24
The City can amend its zoning code to specifically allow each business type in a particular district
or it can choose to simply allow cannabis businesses in zones with similar uses (e.g., retailers in
commercial zones with other retail). The following table includes each licensed business and very
high-level information on the businesses operations.
Question: Does the City want to designate zoning districts where cannabis businesses can be
located or rely on each businesses underlying use?
License Type Main Function Use Type(s)

III. BUFFERS
A. Cannabis Business Buffers from Certain Uses
A local unit of government may prohibit the operation of a cannabis business within:
1) 1,000 feet of a school; or
2) 500 feet of a day care, residential treatment facility, or an attraction within a public park
that is regularly used by minors, including a playground or athletic field.
The terms school, day care, residential treatment facility, and attraction within a public park that
is regularly used by minors, including a playground or athletic field are not further defined in
statute or administrative rule, so the city has some discretion in defining these terms. The enclosed
OCM guide includes some definitions that were drafted for the OCM’s model ordinance (which is
different than the administrative rules).
Questions: Is the City interested in adopting buffers for all cannabis businesses, certain cannabis
businesses (e.g., retail) or no buffers?
If so, is the City interested in buffers from all or some of the identified establishments?
B. Buffers from Other Cannabis Businesses
While not explicitly listed in statute, the OCM proposes that cities could adopt requirements that
cannabis businesses must be located a certain distance from each other.
Question: Is the City interested in adopting buffers between cannabis businesses?
C. Lower Potency Hemp Edible Buffers?
Businesses selling lower-potency hemp edibles, such as beverages and gummies, need to register
with the City. While not explicitly addressed in statute, the City should be able to adopt regulations
related to these businesses. These might include buffers, zone designation, etc. Cities may be able
to also differentiate between hemp businesses selling for on-site consumption and those selling
products for off-site consumption.
One comparison is that, from a regulatory standpoint, lower-potency hemp edibles are addressed
similar to 3.2 beer, while cannabis products are addressed similar to liquor sales. Lower-potency
hemp edibles and 3.2 beer can be sold in many different retail locations, while liquor and cannabis
must be sold from a designated store.
Question: Is the City interested in adopting buffers for hemp businesses?
4
MU210\317\977365.v1-9/19/24
D. Medical Cannabis Business Buffers?
Medical cannabis businesses (medical cannabis cultivator, medical cannabis processor, and
medical cannabis retailer) are licensed differently than cannabis businesses. These businesses,
together, create the pipeline for Minnesota’s medical cannabis program. They are not subject to
the same registration or compliance checks as cannabis businesses. While not explicitly addressed
in statute, the City should be able to adopt regulations related to these businesses.
Question: Is the City interested in adopting buffers for medical cannabis businesses?
IV. REGISTRATION, COMPLIANCE CHECKS, & SOME OPERATIONS
The OCM reviews, approves, and issues cannabis and hemp business licenses. However, each
retail business must also register with the city in which it will operate, unless the city has consented
to the county issuing registrations on its behalf. A registration fee can be imposed in addition to
the state fee.
A. Registrations
The registration process involves issuing a registration to a retail business that: (1) has a valid
license issued by the OCM; (2) has paid the registration fee or renewal fee (if applicable); (3) is
found to be in compliance with the requirements of the Cannabis Act at any preliminary
compliance check; and (4) if applicable, is current on all property taxes and assessments.
Question: Does the City wish to issue registrations or ask the county to do it?
B. Registration Fee
Registration Fees by Business Type
The following shows the maximum amount the city could charge for an initial registration fee and renewal
registration fee for retail businesses and includes the amount the state charges for a license, for reference.
The city’s initial registration cannot exceed $500 or half of the license fee (whichever is less) and the renewal
registration fee cannot exceed $1,000 or half of the license fee (whichever is less)
The initial registration fee shall include the fee for initial registration and the first annual renewal. Any
renewal fee imposed by the local unit of government shall be charged at the time of the second renewal and
each subsequent annual renewal thereafter.
Business Initial Renewal
Cannabis Retailer City (Optional) - $500; State - $2,500 City (Optional) - $1,000; State - $5,000

Cannabis
Microbusiness
City (Optional) - $0; State - $0 City (Optional) - $500; State - $1000
Question: Does the City want to impose a registration fee?
C. Compliance Checks
Once the registration is issued, the entity issuing the registration is responsible for annual
compliance checks that include assessing compliance with age verification requirements (using
underage purchasers) and any city-imposed time, place, and manner regulations.
D. Limiting Number of Retailers
The specific language in the Cannabis Act allowing a limitation on the number of retailers in the
City says that “[a] local unit of government that issues cannabis retailer registration…may, by
ordinance, limit the number of licensed cannabis retailers, cannabis mezzo businesses with retail
endorsements, and cannabis mezzo businesses with retail endorsements to no fewer than one
registration for every 12,500 residents.” Mounds View has an estimated population, according to
the most recent data available from the State Demographer, of 12,965. Meaning a minimum of two
retailer operations would be allowed.
Additionally, the City is not required to issue a municipal registration if other cities/the county
have issued 1 registration per 12,5000 residents in the county.
Consenting to have the county issue registrations could mean that the county then has the ability
to limit retailers, not cities.
Question: Does the City wish to limit the number of retailers to 1 per 12,500 city residents? Does
the City wish to not register retailers if there is already 1 registration per 12,500 county residents?
Note: Cities will receive a portion of the taxes imposed by the state as part of “local government
cannabis aid”. This aid will be distributed to cities based on the number of cannabis businesses
(not just retailers) in the City.
E. Limiting Hours of Operation
Under statute, retail cannabis businesses may operate from 8:00 am-2:00 am Monday-Saturday
and 10:00 am-2:00 am on Sunday. The City can limit the hours of operation to be between 10:00
am-9:00 pm. seven days a week. One option is to treat retailers the same as liquor stores.
Question: Does the City want to impose additional hours of operation limits?
6
MU210\317\977365.v1-9/19/24
F. Cannabis Events
A temporary cannabis event is a gathering organized by a licensed cannabis event organizer that
may last for no more than four days.
The process for these event coudl generally follow the normal process for handling similar events,
but the City could choose to require additional standards for temporary cannabis events, such as
prohibiting on-site consumption, limiting the hours or the events, etc.
Question: Does the City want to consider additional standards for temporary cannabis events?
V. NEXT STEPS
Any input provided will be used to draft the ordinances related to cannabis and hemp businesses.
Zoning changes must go through the zoning amendment process, while the registration and
operational ordinances will follow the general ordinance amendment process. If the OCM updates
its draft administrative rules, we will update the City with any additional decision points.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any additional questions or specific concerns. If the Council
has additional specific questions in response to the enclosed “model”, please let us know.
Otherwise, we will draft ordinances for the city council and/or planning commission to review.

interest and for the public good.
XX.XX County to Issue Registrations
The City consents to the County of _____ issuing registrations for cannabis businesses and hemp
businesses as provided in Minnesota Statutes, section 342.22.
XX.XX Definitions
The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this _____, shall have the meanings ascribed
to them in this _____, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:
Applicant means an entity with a license issued by the OCM that is applying for an initial
registration or for registration renewal.
The Act means Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 342, as is may be amended from time to time.

from OCM.
Retailer means every business that is licensed under the Act and required to register with the City
under Minnesota Statutes, section 342.22. Including cannabis businesses and lower-potency hemp

Commented [JS1]: This “model” ordinance includes
language options that can be selected by the City

cannabis, hemp, and medical cannabis businesses.
The language actually presented to the council and
planning commission will look much different when in a
more final form.

not want to issue registrations itself.
Commented [JS3]: There are included separately for
items that only apply to cannabis businesses and not
hemp businesses.

Potential Licensee means an applicant that has not received a license from the OCM.
XX..XX Certification of Cannabis Businesses License Application
XX.XX The City Administrator is authorized to certify whether a proposed Cannabis
Business complies with the City’s zoning ordinances, this Chapter, and if applicable, with state
fire code and building code pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 342.13.
XX.XX Potential licensees are responsible for requesting and scheduling any inspections
related to building and fire code. Potential licensees may contact the City to have inspections
conducted prior to the City receiving the request for certification from the OCM. Building and fire

have any building or fire code inspection complete within the 30 days allowed under the statute,
the City will not certify the application.
XX.XX Retail Registration of Cannabis Businesses
XX.XX Retail Registration Required. Before making retail sales to customers or patients, a
Cannabis Retailer must register with the City. Making retail sales to customers or patients without
an active registration is prohibited.
XX.XX Civil Penalties. Subject to Minn. Stat. 342.22, subd. 5(e) the city may impose a civil
penalty, as specified in the City’s Fee Schedule, for making a sale to a customer or patient without
a valid registration from the City and a valid license from the OCM.

XX.XX Processing Registrations.
Commented [JS4]: This can be any person or could be
the Council, but note that the city only has 30 days to
send the certification back to the OCM.
Commented [JS5]: This may be helpful for both the
City and businesses to have this completed outside of
the 30 day period after the OCM sends the request for
certification. This section can be amended or removed
if the city does not want to include a length of time
before or after approval during which the inspection will
be ‘good’ for.
Commented [JS6]: This is optional, but provides
structure to this otherwise unstructured process.

(A) Applications will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis based on the City
receiving a complete application and payment of all fees.
(B) The date a certification under XX.XX is issued will have no impact on the applicant’s
registration processing.
(C) Once an application is considered complete, the City Clerk shall inform the applicant as
such, process the application fees, and forward the application to the [insert authority] for
approval or denial.
XX.XX Retail Registration Limits
A) The City will issue one registration per 12,500 residents in the City, except that the City
will not issue any registrations if there is one registration per 12,500 residents in ____
County.
B) The number of registrations available will be calculated by dividing the State
Demographer’s estimate of the City’s population by 12,500 and rounding up to the nearest
whole number.
C) The City will update the number of registrations available based on the most recent data
available from the State Demographer on January 1 and June 1 each year.
D) The number of registrations in the County will be based on the number of registrations in
the County on the day the application is received/the [-1 from deadline] day the application
is received.
E) If the number of registrations available within the City decreases based on the County
reaching the one per 12,500 threshold or the City’s population decreases below a previous
threshold, businesses with current registrations will be allowed to maintain and renew their
registrations but no new registration will be issued.
F) Registrations issued to businesses with a license preapproval will count toward the City’s
registration limit.
G) Businesses operating under a tribal compact entered into under Minnesota Statutes, section
3.9224 or 3.9228 and tribally issued licenses and registrations are/are not counted towards
the City’s registration limit and the County registration limit.
XX.XX Application. The applicant must submit a registration application or renewal form
provided by the City. The form may be amended from time to time by the City Administrator, but
must include or be accompanied by:
A) Name of the property owner
B) Name of the applicant
C) Address and parcel ID for the property for which the registration is sought
D) Certification that the applicant complies with the requirements of this Chapter
E) The fees as described in XX.XX.
F) Proof of taxes, assessments, utility charges of other financial claims of the city of the state
are current.
G) A copy of a valid state license or written notice of OCM license preapproval
H) [insert other standards]
Commented [JS7]: This process could be based on
other factors, but first come, first served seems the
simplest if there is a registration cap
Commented [JS8]: Optional
Commented [JS9]: The administrative rules provide
that the city’s estimates shall be determined by the
“most recent population estimates from the Minnesota
State Demographer.” This may imply that the city would
need to update the number as soon as the estimates
are released, but including this provision seems like a
good idea to put some order to this process.
Commented [JS10]: I recommending including the
date the City will receive/check the data from the
County.
Commented [JS11]: This provides businesses with the
ability to continue operating should the city’s population
estimate fall below a threshold. This is not required but
would result in less confusion.
Commented [JS12]: This is not addressed in the rules
or statute. This addresses a situation where a business
receives a license preapproval (which is good for 18
months) and that business registers with the City.
During that 18 months, no businesses could register
and operate. The alternative would be to have a
business with an actual license supplant a license
preapproval which might not be allowed.
Commented [JS13]: City may, but are not required to
count these businesses towards a registration limit.
Determining this on the front end will help address
questions.

following conditions are true:
A) The applicant has not submitted a complete application.
B) The applicant does not comply with the requirements of this Chapter.
C) The applicant does not comply with applicable zoning and land use regulations.
D) The applicant is found to not comply with the requirements of the Act or this Chapter at
the preliminary compliance check.
E) The maximum number of registrations, pursuant to Section XX.XX, have been issued by
the City or the County.
F) The applicant does not have a valid license from the OCM.
XX.XX Issuing the Registration or Renewal. The City shall issue the registration or renewal
if the Retailer meets the requirements of this article, including that none of the reasons for denial
in Section XX.XX are true.
XX,XX Nontransferable. A registration is not transferable.
XX.XX Location Change. A registered business that wishes to move locations within the
City must submit the new proposed location to the City as part of a new application for registration
/ on a form provided by the City, including a certification that the location meets all zoning
requirements. Such change will be approved provided that it complies with XX.XX (issuing the
registration or approval) and there are no other grounds for denial as described in XX.XX.
XX,XX Registration Enforcement.
A) Generally. The City Council may suspend a registration under this Chapter on a finding
that the registered business has failed to comply with the requirements of this Chapter
and any applicable city code requirements related to cannabis and hemp businesses.

renewing any registration under this chapter, the City shall provide the registered
business with written notice of the alleged violations and inform the registered business
of his or her right to a hearing on the alleged violation.
1. Notice shall be delivered in person or by regular mail to the address of the
registered business and shall inform the registered business of its right to a
hearing. The notice will indicate that a response must be submitted within ten
(10) business days of receipt of the notice, or the right to a hearing will be
waived.
2. The registered business will be given an opportunity for a hearing before the
city’s [HEARING OFFICER] before final action to fine, suspend, revoke, or
Commented [JS14]: This is separate from the
inspection adopted as part of the certification.
The first certification inspection would be to confirm
compliance with zoning and building and fire code
provisions.
This registration would be to conduct a compliance
check on any standards adopted pursuant to Minn.
Stat. 342.13 (zoning; time, place, and manner; hours of
operation, etc.)
Commented [JS15]: If applicable
Commented [JS16]: The City can either require a
complete new application or could only require the
applicant to update certain information.
Commented [JS17]: The City could choose to model
this process off of its tobacco or liquor code to keep
things simple.
The most process that may still change based on
updates to administrative rules is any immediate
suspension under the section currently titled
“Emergency”.

seriousness of the violations, the ease with which such violations could have
been cured or avoided and good faith efforts to comply and shall issue a decision

findings. Within 10 business days of the [HEARING OFFICER’S] order, the
decision may be appealed to the City Council.

in part (2) of this section.
D) Reinstatement. The City may reinstate a registration if it determines that the violations
have been resolved. The City shall reinstate a registration if the OCM determines the
violations have been resolved.

civil penalty, as specified in the City’s Fee Schedule, for making a sale to a customer or patient
without a valid registration from the City and a valid license from the OCM.
XX.XX Compliance Checks
The City shall complete at minimum one compliance check per calendar year of every registered
business to assess if the business meets age verification requirements, as required under [Minn.

September 2024
This model ordinance was
prepared to assist Minnesota
counties and cities interested
in establishing local regulation
of cannabis and lower-potency
hemp edible retailers.
Edible hemp products containing intoxicating
levels of THC were legalized for manufacture
and sale in Minnesota on July 1, 2022. Cannabis
use was legalized on Aug. 1, 2023, and it is
anticipated that cannabis retail establishments
will be licensed for sales sometime in 2025. All
cannabis retailers or cannabis businesses that
are permitted to engage in retail sales, will be
required to secure a license from the Office of
Cannabis Management and register with their
local unit of government before sales are allowed.
Updates to the 2023 cannabis legalization law
were made by the Minnesota Legislature in 2024
to allow the Office of Cannabis Management
(OCM) to “preapprove” licenses for certain
cannabis businesses July 24, 2024, through
A Model Ordinance for Minnesota City Retailers
LOWER-POTENCY HEMP EDIBLES & CANNABIS
CANNABIS
www.publichealthlawcenter.org 2Lower-Potency Hemp Edibles & Cannabis: Minnesota City Retailers
August 12, 2024. Full licensing of cannabis businesses and hemp businesses will occur after
rulemaking is completed in 2025. Hemp businesses, including lower-potency hemp edible
retailers, are currently required to register with the state; the requirement to register with the
Minnesota Department of Health began Oct. 1, 2023, and the authority over these registrations
transferred to OCM beginning July 1, 2024. Since legalization, some local governments have
enacted moratoria, licensing, and other ordinances to regulate cannabis businesses and lower-
potency hemp edible retailers. State law requires that -local moratoria and licensing over these
entities must expire on January 1, 2025. Local units of government are required to register
cannabis and lower-potency hemp retailers that are pre-approved for licenses and licensed by
the state. While local units of government do not have licensing authority, they may use their
registration authority as a framework to set local regulations for the sale of these products
through authority granted in the state cannabis law, their authority to regulate to protect the
general health, safety, and welfare of the community, and, in some cases, their public health
authority. From a public health standpoint, local units of government may wish to explore these
other areas of regulatory authority that may be aimed at reducing youth exposure and access,
in addition to other areas that emphasize public health and prevention surrounding the sale of
adult-use cannabis and lower-potency hemp edibles.
While hemp businesses are subject to OCM licensing requirements, they are not explicitly
included in all aspects of the “cannabis business”1 regulatory scheme. As such, local
governments may have broader authority to regulate hemp businesses more stringently
beyond the time, place, and manner restrictions prescribed for the regulation of cannabis
businesses by local units of government. However, local units of government are not allowed to
outright prohibit cannabis and hemp businesses.
It is important to note that local regulation of the retail sale of cannabis and lower-potency
hemp edibles is untested in Minnesota courts. While the law is clear about some areas of
local regulation that are permitted and not permitted, there is ambiguity in the law. For more
information on authority for local regulation of the retail sale of cannabis, please see the
Public Health Law Center’s resources: Minnesota Regulation of Legalized Cannabis: FAQ Public
Health Options and Minnesota’s New Cannabis Law. A jurisdiction planning to adopt this model
ordinance, in whole or in part, should first review it with its attorney to determine suitability
for the jurisdiction’s circumstances. The city or county attorney should review the planned
ordinance to ensure it conforms to applicable state and federal laws.
1 Cannabis businesses are defined to include the cannabis-specific businesses that will be licensed under the law,
including cannabis microbusinesses, mezzobusinesses, cultivators, manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers, trans-
porters, testing facilities, event organizers, delivery services, and medical cannabis combination businesses. Minn.

Tips for Using This Model Ordinance
This model ordinance represents a balance between state standards, best public health policy
practices, and practicality for city governments in Minnesota. Communities will differ on
their readiness and willingness to adopt certain policy components contained in this model
ordinance and, therefore, may or may not choose to adopt policies that may go beyond
minimum state requirements. As noted above, some of these provisions would apply only to
those selling lower-potency hemp edibles, some will apply only to cannabis retailers, and some
will apply to both types of retailers. This is a summary of each category:
Provisions that would apply only to lower-potency hemp edible retailers:
z Limiting the number of lower-potency hemp edible retailers in a jurisdiction and regulating
the distance between these retailers and youth-oriented facilities (see Registration Cap for
Lower-Potency Hemp Edible Retailers and Cannabis Retailers on page 14).
z Restricting the sale of lower-potency edibles to retail locations in which only persons 21
years and older are permitted, or restricting sales to cannabis retailers;
z Requiring lower-potency hemp beverages to be prohibited in self-service displays as is
already the case under state law regarding non-beverage lower-potency hemp edibles.
z Establishing a minimum clerk age for employees selling lower-potency hemp edibles and
beverages.
z Prohibiting pharmacies from selling lower-potency hemp edible products.
z Requiring products only be sold in child-resistant packaging.
z Prohibiting sales of beverages for on-site consumption that are removed from their original
packaging.
z Prohibiting sales of products that may be added to food or beverages.
z Prohibiting on-site consumption of lower-potency hemp edibles.
Provisions that would apply only to cannabis retailers:
z Prohibiting the sale of flavored products that are consumed by smoking or vaping.
z Restricting the hours of operation.
z Restricting the sale of higher-potency products.
September 2024
www.publichealthlawcenter.org 4Lower-Potency Hemp Edibles & Cannabis: Minnesota City Retailers
Provisions that apply to both lower-potency hemp edible retailers and cannabis retailers:
z Raising the minimum legal sales age to 25.
z Restricting the redemption of coupons, and other price promotions.
z Prohibiting the delivery and/or online sales of cannabis and lower-potency hemp edible
products.
z Prohibiting the distribution of free samples of cannabis and lower-potency hemp edibles.
z Prohibiting all smoking within the retail establishment.
Some provisions in this ordinance mirror the state law requirements while other provisions are
more protective than the state law. Public health provisions that strictly conform to the state law
are highlighted in green and public health provisions that exceed state law are highlighted in
orange . Provisions that are primarily structural or necessary for the operation of the ordinance
are not highlighted. This model ordinance includes provisions that mirror state law, which
enables local enforcement actions along with the state OCM enforcement of such provisions.
City and County Authority to Register and Regulate Cannabis and
Lower-Potency Hemp Edible Retailers
State law allows cities and townships to delegate to the county their authority to register
cannabis and lower-potency hemp edible retailers. (Minn. Stat. § 342.22, subd. 1) Counties will
be responsible for the registration of retailers in any unincorporated area of the county and
in any local units of government within the county that choose to delegate their registration
authority. Along with registration authority, counties have the authority to regulate such
businesses under the public health authority granted to them by the state under Minn. Stat.
Chapter 145A. State law allows cities and towns to enact stronger protections than the county,
but they cannot have policies less restrictive than those counties enact under their public
health authority. Cities or towns using this model policy should review any county requirements
to ensure conformity or identify opportunities to enact more protective regulations.
Customizing the Ordinance
Context boxes are included throughout the ordinance to explain some key provisions. These
boxes are not meant to be included in any final ordinance. A local unit of government wishing
to adopt all or part of this ordinance should keep this in mind and remove the context boxes.
September 2024
www.publichealthlawcenter.org 5Lower-Potency Hemp Edibles & Cannabis: Minnesota City Retailers
In some instances, blanks (such as [ ____ ]) prompt you to customize the language to fit your
community’s needs. In other instances, the ordinance offers you a choice of options (such as
[ choice one/choice two ]). Some options are followed by a comment that describes the legal
provisions in more detail. A degree of customization is always necessary to make sure the
ordinance is consistent with a community’s existing laws. Such customization also ensures that
communities are using this model ordinance to address local needs and engender health equity.
Immigration Impacts of Cannabis and Lower-Potency Hemp Edibles Use or Sale
Federal law still prohibits and criminalizes the sale, use, possession, or growing of cannabis,
despite Minnesota’s decriminalization and legalization. As such, anyone who is not a U.S.
citizen and who possesses, uses, sells, grows, or interacts in any way with cannabis or works in
the cannabis industry may face severe immigration consequences, including the loss of legal
permanent residency or other immigration status, or their removal or deportation from the
United States. (8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(2); 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(B)(1); 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(1)) According to
the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota, even lower-potency hemp edibles may trigger some
immigration consequences.
Unfortunately, most non-citizens are not aware of these risks, particularly in states that have
decriminalized or legalized cannabis. Prior to issuing a registration, state and local governments
are encouraged to alert registrants, registration applicants, and their employees that there are
immigration risks for non-citizens who interact with cannabis or the cannabis industry and that
these risks exist regardless of any local or state license or registration. Registrants who employ
or contract with non-citizens for any task related to their cannabis business may put those
non-citizen employees and their family members at risk of losing their legal status or facing
deportation from the United States. This is the case even for those non-citizens who work with
employment authorization granted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota provides background information that could be
incorporated into an information notice to be disseminated by the local offices that process
cannabis retail establishment registrations. The information is available in several languages.
Please contact the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for further information.

Referral Process and Possible Legal Consequences when Working in the Cannabis Industry.

Notice
For Cities
This ordinance is drafted in the form prescribed by state law for statutory cities. Statutory cities
must publish their ordinances — or a summary thereof — in the city’s official newspaper before
they become effective. Home rule charter cities may have to follow the formatting and other
procedural requirements found in their city’s charter. Charter cities should consult their charter
and their city attorney to ensure they are in compliance with all charter requirements. All cities
must provide copies of their ordinances to their county law library or its designated depository
pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 415.021.
Additionally, Minn. Stat. § 415.19 requires statutory and home rule charter cities to post
proposed new ordinances and ordinance amendments on the city website at least 10 days
prior to a final vote by the city council, if the city already posts ordinances on its website. Under
the same statute, within 10 days of a final vote, cities must also provide this same notice to all
city listserv subscribers via their electronic notification system or, if the city does not have an
electronic notification system, in the location where the city posts public notices.
Note
While the Public Health Law Center does not lobby, advocate, or directly represent communities,
adopting effective public health policies starts early with education, stakeholder and community
engagement, and a strong advocacy plan. If a community is unaware of resources available to
them for engaging the community and developing an advocacy plan, or if a jurisdiction is considering
adopting an ordinance and is interested in learning about the range of resources available, the Public
Health Law Center can help through our publications and referrals to experts in the field.
This model ordinance was prepared by the Public Health Law Center, located at the Mitchell Hamline School of Law
in St. Paul, Minnesota, and made possible by the financial support of the Center for Prevention at Blue Cross & Blue
Shield of Minnesota.

Section 1. Findings of Fact.
Note
The Findings Section is important because it provides the evidentiary basis for the proposed
cannabis and lower-potency hemp retailer regulations and demonstrates a municipality’s
reasoning for adopting specific provisions. Findings of fact could include data, statistics, and
relevant epidemiological information, for example, that support the purposes of the ordinance.
In addition to providing educational background and building support for the ordinance, the
findings can also serve a legal purpose. If the ordinance is challenged in court, the findings are an
admissible record of the factual determinations made by the legislative body when considering
the ordinance. Courts generally defer to legislative determinations of factual issues and can, in
turn, influence a court’s legal findings. A list of Findings of Fact supporting this model ordinance
appears in a companion publication on Public Health Law Center’s website titled, Minnesota
Findings for Local Regulation of Cannabis and Lower-Potency Hemp Edibles. Jurisdictions may select
findings from this list to insert here, along with additional findings on local or regional conditions
and outcomes.

Municipal Cannabis Retailer
Similar to municipal liquor stores, state law allows for local governments to operate municipal
cannabis retailer businesses. (Minn. Stat. § 342.32, subd. 5) Operating their own retailer would
allow local jurisdictions to better control store location, types of products available, advertising,
and marketing while making products available. Any municipal cannabis retailers do not count
toward the total number of retailer licenses offered by OCM during a licensing period and the
municipal retail license does not count toward any local ordinance capping the number of
retailers to no more than 1 per 12,500 residents. (Minnesota Session Laws, 2024 Regular Session,
Ch. 121 Art. 2 Sec. 65 creates new Minn. Stat. § 342.32, subd. 7)
Section 4. Registration and Operations of Registered Retailers.
(A) License required. No person shall sell or offer to sell any approved product or medical
cannabinoid product without first having obtained a license or retail endorsement to do so
from the Office of Cannabis Management.
(B) Registration required. No person shall sell or offer to sell any approved product or
medical cannabinoid product without first being granted a registration by the city.
Operating a retail establishment without a valid retail registration is a violation of this
Ordinance and of Minn. Stat. § 342.22, subd. 5(e) and is subject to a civil penalty of up to
$2,000 per violation.
Registration
State law mandates that cannabis businesses and hemp businesses with retail sales, including
lower-potency hemp edible retailers and retail businesses selling medical cannabis, must register
with the city, town, or county in which the retail establishment is located. A county may issue
a registration in cases where a city or town has provided consent for the county to issue the
registration for the jurisdiction. A second registration from the county is not required if a city or
town provides the registration.

(C) Application. An application for a registration to sell approved products and medical
cannabinoid products must be made on a form provided by the city. The application must
contain the full name of the applicant and any true parties of interest, the applicant’s and
true parties’ residential and business addresses and telephone numbers, the name of
the business for which the registration is sought, and any additional information the city
deems necessary. Upon receipt of a completed application, the city will timely review the
application. If an application is incomplete, it will be returned to the applicant with notice
of the information necessary to make the application complete.
(D) Action. The city shall review the application for conformance with this Ordinance and all
applicable state and local laws and rules, including but not limited to compliance with local
zoning code, building code, and fire code. The city may approve or deny the application
for a registration, or it may delay action for a reasonable period of time to complete any
investigation of the application or the applicant deemed necessary. If the city approves
the application, the city will issue the registration to the applicant. If the city denies the
application, notice of the denial will be given to the applicant along with notice of the
applicant’s right to appeal the decision.
(E) Term. All registrations issued are valid for one calendar year from the date of issue.
(F) Revocation or suspension. Any registration issued may be suspended or revoked
following the procedure set forth in Section 12 (A) of this ordinance.
(G) Transfers. All registrations issued are valid only on the premises for which the registration
was issued and only for the person to whom the registration was issued. The transfer of
any registration to another location or person is prohibited.
(H) Display. All registrations must be posted and displayed at all times at the registered retail
establishment or medial cannabis combination business in plain view of the general public.
(I) Renewals. The renewal of a registration issued under this Ordinance will be handled in the
same manner as the original application. The request for a renewal must be made at least
30 days but no more than 60 days before the expiration of the current registration.
(J) Issuance is privilege and not a right. The issuance of a registration is a privilege and does
not entitle the registration holder to an automatic renewal of the registration.

(K) Maximum number of registrations.
(1) Lower-potency hemp edible retailer registrations. The maximum number of lower-
potency hemp edible retailer registrations issued by the city at any time is limited to [ see
“Registration Cap” context box below ]. When the maximum number of registrations has
been issued, the city may place persons seeking registration on a waiting list and allow
them to apply on a first-come, first-served basis, as registrations are not renewed or are
revoked. A new applicant who has purchased a business location with a valid county
registration held by a different owner will be entitled to first priority, provided the new
applicant meets all other application requirements in accordance with this ordinance.
(2) Cannabis retailer registrations. No registrations will be granted after the county or
cities within the county have granted at least one registration for every 12,500 residents
in the county.
Provisions that exceed state law
Registration Cap for Lower-Potency Hemp Edible Retailers and Cannabis Retailers
Communities with a higher concentration of cannabis and lower-potency hemp edible retailers within
their jurisdiction expose more youth and young adults to commercial cannabis and lower-potency
hemp edible marketing, making it easier for them to obtain the products. Additionally, proximity
to cannabis retailers is associated with increased harms of cannabis use including, increases in
poison control calls, increased cannabis use during pregnancy, cannabis related hospitalization
during pregnancy, and an increase of cannabis use in adults and young adults. (.) One way to
address retailer density issues is to place a limit or cap on the number of registrations of cannabis
retailers and lower-potency hemp edible retailers that may be issued by the city/county. The above
provisions would set the maximum number of registrations available for lower-potency hemp edible
retailers and sets a limit of one cannabis retailer per 12,500 residents in the county pursuant to
Minn. Stat. § 342.13 (j). Note that while state law allows for local governments to limit the number
of cannabis and hemp businesses, it does not allow local jurisdictions to outright prohibit cannabis
and hemp businesses. (Minnesota Session Laws, 2024 Regular Session, Ch. 121 Art. 2 § 64)

(L) Pharmacies ineligible for registration. No new or renewed registration will be granted to a
pharmacy or any retail establishment that operates an on-site pharmacy.
Provision that exceeds state law
Section 5. Fees.
No registration will be issued under this ordinance until the appropriate registration fees are
paid in full. The fees will be established pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 342.22, subd. 2, as amended
from time to time.
Fee Limits
State law limits the registration fees that local jurisdictions may charge for cannabis businesses.
This Fees provision reflects and limits fees pursuant to state law. No additional licensing fees may
be charged. (See Minn. Stat. § 342.22, subd. 2)
Section 6. Basis for Denial of Registration
(A) An initial application for registration or a renewal of registration with the city will be
denied if:
(1) the applicant is under 21 years of age;
(2) the applicant does not have a valid retail license, preapproved license, or retail
endorsement from the Office of Cannabis Management;
(3) the applicant fails to provide any of the information required on the licensing application or
provides false or misleading information;
(4) the applicant is prohibited by state, or local law, ordinance, or other regulation from
holding a registration; or,
(5) the applicant fails a pre-application inspection by the [ city/county ] as provided under
Minn. Stat. § 342.22, subd. 3(b) as amended from time to time.
Provisions that strictly conform to the state law

(B) If a registration is mistakenly issued or renewed to any person, it will be revoked upon the
discovery of ineligibility for registration under this ordinance or state or other local law,
ordinance or other regulation. Any revocation will comply with the requirements of Minn.
Stat. § 342.22, subd. 5, as amended from time to time.
Section 7. Prohibited Sales and Other Restrictions.
(A) In general. In addition to the prohibitions and restrictions set forth under Minn. Stat. §
342.46, subd. 7, and Minn. Stat. § 342.27, subd. 12 no registered cannabis retailer, lower-
potency hemp edible retailer, or medical cannabis combination business shall sell or offer
to sell any approved product or medical cannabinoid product:
(1) By means of any type of vending machine.
Provision that strictly conforms to the state law
(2) By means of self-service display. All approved products and medical cannabinoid
products, including lower-potency hemp beverages, must be stored in a locked case behind
the sales counter, in a storage unit, or in another area not freely accessible by the general
public. This does not prohibit registered cannabis retailers from displaying single product
samples pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 342.27, subd. 5.
Provision that exceeds state law
Self-Service Display Prohibition
Minn. Stat. § 342.46, subd. 4 requires lower-potency hemp edible retailers to “ensure that all
lower-potency hemp edibles, other than lower-potency hemp edibles that are intended to be
consumed as a beverage, are displayed behind a checkout counter where the public is not
permitted or in a locked case. All lower-potency hemp edibles that are not displayed must be
stored in a secure area.” Cities and counties, therefore, may wish to regulate beverages more
stringently in the same manner as non-beverage edibles, such that beverages, too, must be
displayed behind a checkout counter where the public is not permitted or in a locked case.
Additionally, cities/counties could require the products always be stored in a locked case, whether
behind the counter or in another area of the store. Similarly, cannabis products for sale by a
cannabis retailers must be stored in a secure area, with the exception that the retailer may display
one “sample” of each cannabis flower and cannabis product. (See Minn. Stat. § 342.27, subd. 5)

products and medical cannabinoid products.

342.62 and 342.63 as may be amended from time to time, except that:
Provision that strictly conforms to the state law
(a) No lower-potency hemp edible beverage may be sold outside of its original
packaging; and,
(b) No lower-potency hemp edible product may be sold that does not indicate a single
serving by scoring or use of another indicator that appears on the product. If it is
not possible to indicate a single serving by scoring or use of another indicator that
appears on the product, the lower-potency hemp edible may not be packaged in a
manner that includes more than a single serving in each container.
(5) By means of delivery sales. All sales of approved products and medical cannabinoid
products must be conducted in person, in a registered retail establishment, in over-the-
counter sales transactions.
Provisions that exceed state law
This does not prohibit sale of medical cannabinoid products by medical cannabis
combination businesses by curbside pick-up as allowed in Minn. Stat. § 342.51, subd. 5.

Delivery Sales Prohibition
State law allows for licensed delivery services to transport and deliver cannabis flower, cannabis
products, lower-potency hemp edibles, and hemp-derived consumable products to customers.
(Minn. Stat. § 342.41) Cannabis delivery services are businesses specifically licensed by the Office
September 2024
www.publichealthlawcenter.org 18Lower-Potency Hemp Edibles & Cannabis: Minnesota City Retailers
Delivery Sales Prohibition (continued)
of Cannabis Management. State law prohibits local jurisdictions from outright prohibiting any
cannabis businesses. However, cities and counties may have the authority to prohibit delivery sales
within their jurisdiction as an effective means of curtailing underage access to approved products.
A licensed cannabis delivery business may still be located within the jurisdiction to deliver outside
the boundaries of the jurisdiction, where permitted. This approach recognizes the challenges
inherent in trying to effectively monitor online retailers and prevent underage access to the
vast market of hemp-derived THC products found online, acknowledging that age verification
processes do not prevent underage persons from obtaining these and similar products online.
(6) By any other means, to any other person, or in any other manner or form
prohibited by state or other local law, ordinance provision, or other regulation.
(B) Legal age. No person shall sell any approved product to any person under the age of 21.
Businesses licensed or endorsed to sell medical cannabinoid products may sell medical
cannabinoid products to persons under age 21 who are enrolled in the medical registry
program pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 342.24, subd. 1.
Provision that strictly conforms to the state law
Minimum Legal Sales Age Higher than Age 21
State law sets a minimum legal sales age for adult-use cannabis and lower-potency hemp edibles
at age 21. There is nothing in the law that prohibits a local jurisdiction from setting a higher
minimum legal sales age. Evidence supports a higher minimum legal sales age of 25.
For instance, frequent cannabis use between the ages of 14 and 21 is associated with lower high
school completion and college graduation and subsequent lower income levels at age 25 (reference
provided below). If the minimum legal sales age of 25 is enacted, then other provisions should
also be adjusted, such as minimum clerk age and store ownership. If MLSA of 25 is enacted, then
other provisions could also be adjusted, such as minimum clerk age and store ownership.

Medical Cannabis Sales to Persons 18 and Older
State law allows medical cannabinoids to be sold to persons age 18 and older if they are enrolled
in the medical program as a patient or as a caregiver. This provision allows sales of medical
cannabinoid products to persons age 18 to 20 by a registered retail establishment that is
approved to sell medical cannabinoid products.
(C) Age verification. Before any sale of approved products, the registered retail establishment
must verify by means of government-issued photographic identification containing the bearer’s
date of birth that the purchaser is at least twenty-one (21) years of age.
Provision that strictly conforms to the state law
(D) Signage. Notice of the legal sales age, age verification requirement, and possible penalties
for underage sales must be posted prominently and in plain view at all times at each location
where approved products are offered for sale. The required signage, which will be provided to
the retail establishment by the city, must be posted in a manner that is clearly visible to anyone
who is, or is considering, making a purchase.
(E) No admittance of any person under age 21. No person shall sell or offer for sale any approved
products or medical cannabinoid products, except in registered retail establishments that
prohibit persons under the age of 21 from entering at all times.
Provisions that exceed state law
Businesses licensed or endorsed to sell medical cannabinoid products may allow admittance to
persons under age 21 who are enrolled in the medical registry program for the sole purpose of
purchasing medical cannabinoid products pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 342.24.

(G) Proximity to youth-oriented facilities. No lower-potency hemp edible retailer may be located
within [ 1,000 ] feet of a youth-oriented facility, as measured by the shortest line from the
property line of the space to be occupied by the proposed licensee to the nearest property line
of a youth-oriented facility.
(H) Proximity to other registered lower-potency hemp edible retailers or cannabis retailers. No
lower-potency hemp edible retailer may be located within [ 2,000 ] feet of any other existing
registered lower-potency hemp retailer or registered cannabis retail business, as measured
by the shortest line from the property line of the space to be occupied by the applicant for
a lower-potency hemp edible registration to the nearest property line of the existing lower-
potency hemp edible retailer or registered cannabis retail business.
(I) Cannabis retailer distance restrictions.
(1) No registered cannabis retail business may be located within 1,000 feet of a school as
measured by the shortest line from the property line of the space to be occupied by the
proposed retail establishment to the nearest property line of a school.
(2) No registered cannabis retail business may be located within 500 feet of a day care,
residential treatment facility, or an attraction within a public park that is regularly used by
minors, including a playground or athletic field, as measured by the shortest line from
the property line of the space to be occupied by the proposed retail establishment to the
nearest property line of a daycare, residential treatment facility, or attraction within a
public park that is regularly used by minors.
Provisions that exceed state law
Local Restriction of the Location of Cannabis Retailers
State law allows local jurisdictions to set specific minimum distance requirements between the
location of cannabis retail businesses and schools, daycares, residential treatment facilities, and
attractions within parks that are regularly used by children. (Minn. Stat. § 342.13 (c)). The language
here reflects the language in state law. There is not a similar provision in state law limiting the
local jurisdictions’ authority to restrict the location of lower-potency hemp edible retailers so
there are separate provisions at paragraphs (G) and (H) above prohibiting those businesses from
locating within 1,000 feet of a youth-oriented facility and requiring minimum distances between
cannabis and lower-potency hemp retailers. The above restrictions do not restrict the location of
September 2024
www.publichealthlawcenter.org 21Lower-Potency Hemp Edibles & Cannabis: Minnesota City Retailers
Local Restriction of the Location of Cannabis Retailers (continued)
medical cannabis combination businesses that sell medical cannabinoid products at retail. A
jurisdiction may want to extend these location requirements to those businesses, as well.
Note: Some jurisdictions may choose to enact these minimum distance requirements through
their zoning code. However, a zoning code may sometimes be subject to discretion by the zoning
board to grant zoning variances or other methods to circumvent the intent of these restrictions.
As such, setting the minimum distance requirements in the retail sales registration ordinance
does not allow for exceptions to the general rule.
(J) Cannabis retailer hours of operation. Sales of approved products at a registered cannabis
retail business are only allowed between the hours of 10 a.m. and 9 p.m. seven days per week
and may not be open to the public or sell any other products at times when the business is
prohibited from selling approved products.
Provision that exceeds state law
Cannabis Retailer Hours of Operation
State law allows local governments to restrict cannabis retailer hours of operation pursuant
to Minn. Stat. § 342.27, subd. 7. This provision only applies to registered cannabis retailers. It
does not apply to medical cannabis combination businesses nor to lower-potency hemp edible
retailers. It could be broadened to apply to lower-potency hemp edible retailers, but that would
mean that anyone selling lower-potency hemp edibles would not be able to be open or sell any
other products during the mandatory closure period. While this fits with an overall goal of treating
the sale of these intoxicating products similarly, it is likely that there will be pushback since lower-
potency hemp edibles are currently sold without any restrictions on hours of operation.

(K) Instructional program. Registered retail establishments must ensure that all salesclerks
complete a training program on the legal requirements related to the sale of approved
products or medical cannabinoid products, and the possible consequences of registration
or license violations. Registered retail establishments must maintain documentation
demonstrating their compliance and must provide this documentation to the city at the time of
renewal, or whenever requested to do so during the registration term.
(L) Minimum clerk age. Individuals employed by a registered retail establishment and medical
cannabis combination business must be at least 21 years of age to sell approved products and
medical cannabinoid products.
Provisions that exceed state law
Minimum Age for Clerks
State law prohibits cannabis businesses from employing any person under age 21 if the
scope of work includes handling cannabis. As such, the law requires that all clerks selling at
cannabis retailers would have to be at least 21 to sell products and this provision reflects
that requirement (Minn. Stat. § 342.24, subd. 1) Cities and counties may also be interested in
establishing a minimum age for employees to sell lower-potency hemp edibles at registered
retail establishments. In the commercial tobacco control context, the tobacco industry has
acknowledged that peer pressure facing young clerks from their underage peers seeking to
purchase products at the counter plays a role in youth access. Establishing a minimum clerk age
addresses the peer pressure issue and youth access. This sample language allows individuals
under minimum clerk age to work for a lower-potency hemp edible retailer but not engage in
sales of approved products. For example, a 20-year-old clerk employed at a grocery store may sell
potato chips and soda to a customer, but not lower-potency hemp edibles (including beverages)
that are also offered for sale at the same retail establishment.
(M) Samples prohibited. No samples of any approved products or medical cannabinoid products
may be distributed free of charge or at a nominal cost. The distribution of approved products
or medical cannabinoid products as a free donation is prohibited.

Prohibiting Free Samples and the Sampling of Approved Products in Retail Settings
Under Minn. Stat. § 342.46, subd. 7, lower-potency hemp edible retailers are prohibited from
distributing or allowing free samples of lower-potency hemp edibles, except when the business is
licensed to permit on-site consumption and samples are consumed within its licensed premises. A
provision prohibiting all samples would be more protective of public health than state law.
State law also prohibits cannabis retailers from “giving away” cannabis products. (342.09, subd.
1 (b)(8)) While it is unclear whether this provision in state law prohibits giving away products for
a nominal cost, as well, local jurisdiction can make clear that no samples are allowed with the
provision included in this model ordinance.
(N) Smoking prohibited. Smoking is prohibited within the indoor area of any registered retail
establishment.
(O) On-site consumption prohibited. No registered retail establishment may allow on-site
consumption of lower-potency hemp edible products on the premises.
(P) Sale of other products. Registered cannabis retail businesses and medical cannabis
combination businesses are limited to selling only the products allowed under Minn. Stat. §
342.27 subd. 3 as amended from time to time. The sale of any products other than approved
products by registered retailers must comport with all requirements of state law.
(Q) Child-resistant packaging. All sales of any approved products and medical cannabinoid
products must be packaged in child-resistant packaging. Upon request by the city, a registered
retail establishment must provide a copy of the certificate of compliance or full laboratory
testing report for the packaging used.
Provisions that exceed state law
Note
Cannabis retailers are limited in the products they are allowed to sell under state law. (Minn.
Stat. § 342.27, subd. 3) Limiting the availability and exposure to lower-potency hemp edibles to
cannabis retailers would reduce youth access and would reduce exposure and marketing of the
products at the point of sale.

(R) Advertising restrictions. Registered retail establishments must follow all advertisement
restrictions pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 342.64, as amended from time to time.
(S) Products that are attractive to underage persons. No person shall sell or offer for sale any
approved products and medical cannabinoid products that are attractive to underage persons.
Provisions that strictly conform to the state law
Products that are attractive to children
Prohibiting products that are intentionally designed and marketed to attract youth has strong
potential to subvert youth initiation and use of these products. State law prohibits products that
resemble commercially available food product or is “designed to appeal to persons under age 21.”
(Minn. Stat. § 342.62, subd. 3) The law specifically prohibits the Office of Cannabis Management
from approving products that is or appears to be a lollipop or ice cream; bears the likeness or
contains characteristics of a real or fictional person, animal, or fruit; are modeled after a type or
brand of products primarily consumed by or marketed to children; are similar to certain food
products; or are added to a finished food product that does not contain cannabinoids. (Minn. Stat.
§ 342.06 (d)) Given that many edible products are marketed as gummies and other food products
attractive to youth, it is important to ensure these products do not portray images containing
cartoons, toys, robots, real or fictional animate creatures, or any likenesses to images, characters,
or phrases commonly used to advertise to youth. This includes products that imitate packaging or
labeling for candy, cereals, sweets, chips or other foods typically marketed to youth.
(T) Coupon and price promotion. No registered retail establishment may accept or redeem
any coupon, price promotion, or other instrument or mechanism, whether in paper, digital,
electronic, mobile, or any other form, that provides any approved products to a consumer at no
cost or at a price that is less than the non-discounted, standard price listed by a retailer on the
item or on any shelving, posting, advertising, or display at the location where the item is sold or
offered for sale, including all applicable taxes.

Product Discounts
The price of these cannabis and lower-potency hemp edible products, like any product promotion
strategy, directly affects consumption levels, particularly among price-sensitive consumers, such
as people with lower incomes, including youth and young adults. For example, the commercial
tobacco industry devotes billions of dollars per year to innovative pricing strategies designed to
entice new customers to purchase their products and to discourage current users from quitting.
Jurisdictions, in turn, can prohibit the redemption of such price promotions and coupons to
negate industry discount marketing strategies, which has been shown in the commercial tobacco
control space to be an effective point-of-sale regulation in curbing youth initiation and use.
Note: This provision does not apply to sale of medical cannabinoid products.
(U) Flavored product. No person shall sell or offer for sale any flavored products intended to be
inhaled as smoke, aerosol, or vapor.
Provision that exceeds state law
Prohibiting flavored products intended to be smoked or vaped
Flavored products are a common and effective marketing tactic to attract children and youth.
This tactic has been extremely successful with commercial tobacco marketing, particularly with
electronic cigarettes (vapes). Flavored cigarettes have been banned across the United States since
2009 and many flavored e-cigarettes have been banned at the federal level, along with the many
jurisdictions in Minnesota and across the nation that prohibit the sale of flavored commercial
tobacco products. The Office of Cannabis Management will have the authority to approve or deny
classes of cannabis products, including flavored products for smoking or vaping. It is unknown
what the OCM will do with this class of products, however, local jurisdictions may have the
authority to enact stricter restrictions and prohibit flavored cannabis products that may be smoked
or vaped. This approach may be particularly attractive to Minnesota jurisdictions that have already
prohibited or are considering prohibiting the sale of flavored commercial tobacco products.

Section 9. Compliance Checks and Inspections.
(A) All registered retail establishments must be open to inspection by authorized city officials
or their designees during regular business hours.
(B) In accordance with Minn. Stat. § 342.22, subd. 4, city will conduct compliance checks of
every retail establishment with a retail registration issued by the city. The checks will
assess compliance with age verification requirements and all provisions of this ordinance.
(C) From time to time, but at least [ twice ] per year, the city must conduct compliance checks
to ensure compliance with all provisions of this ordinance.
(D) In accordance with state law, the city will conduct at least two annual compliance checks
that involves participation of a person at least 17 years of age, but under the age of 21 to
enter the registered retail establishment to attempt to purchase approved products under
the supervision of a law enforcement officer or an employee of the city. Prior written
consent from a parent or guardian is required for any person under the age of 18 to
participate in a compliance check.

Compliance Checks
State law requires municipalities to conduct age verification compliance checks of both registered
cannabis retail businesses and lower-potency hemp edible retailers at least once each calendar
year. Cities may, however, require additional compliance checks. For retailer education purposes,
and to identify and cite repeat offending retailers, the model language above requires at least two
compliance checks per year.
Along with the state minimum requirements for underage compliance checks, the city should
adopt inspection and compliance check procedures that test for retailer compliance with all
provisions of the ordinance. For example, if a city requires lower-potency hemp edible beverages
offered for sale to be stored behind the sales counter, in a locked case or unit not freely accessible
to the public, the city should inspect each retailer to ensure compliance with that provision.
Section 10. Responsibility.
All registered medical cannabis combination businesses, cannabis retail businesses and lower-
potency hemp edible retailers are responsible for the actions of their employees regarding the
sale, offer to sell, and furnishing of approved products or medical cannabinoid products on the
licensed and registered premises. The sale, offer to sell, or furnishing of any approved product
or medical cannabinoid product by an employee will be considered an act of the registrant.
Section 11. Defenses.
It is an affirmative defense to a violation of this ordinance for a person to have reasonably
relied on proof of age as described by state law.

Penalizing Underage Purchase, Use, and Possession and the Use of False Identification
This model ordinance does not include penalties for underage Purchase, Use, and Possession
(PUP) nor penalties for the use of false IDs for the following reasons. At its core, a point-of-sale
ordinance is intended to regulate the behavior of retailers. Penalizing underage persons detracts
from the focus of the retailer regulations and siphons enforcement resources away from the
retailers to young consumers, many of whom may struggle with addiction, substance abuse, and
mental health issues. There is no strong evidence to support an assertion that PUP penalties
are effective in significantly reducing youth use of these products. And while the cannabis and
consumer hemp industries are fairly new, especially in Minnesota, PUP laws were historically
lobbied for by the commercial tobacco industry to punish youth users while the industry
simultaneously targeted, and continues to target, youth to replace an older, sicker, and dying
customer base and maintain profits.
Section 12. Violations, Penalties, and Administrative Hearings.
(A) Violations.
(1) Notice. A person violating this ordinance may be issued, either personally or by
mail, an administrative citation from the city that sets forth the alleged violation and
informs the alleged violator of their right to a hearing on the matter and how and
where a hearing may be requested, including a contact address and phone number.
(2) Hearings.
(a) Upon issuance of a citation, a person accused of violating this ordinance may
request in writing a hearing on the matter. Hearing requests must be made
within 10 business days of the issuance of the citation and delivered to the City
Administrator or other designated city officer. Failure to properly request a

Introduction
This guide serves as a general overview of Minnesota’s new adult-use cannabis law, and
how local governments can expect to be involved. The guide also provides important
information about Minnesota’s new Office of Cannabis Management (OCM), and the
office’s structure, roles, and responsibilities. While medical cannabis continues to play an
important role in the state’s cannabis environment, this guide is primarily focused on the
adult-use cannabis law and marketplace.
The following pages outline the variety of cannabis business licenses that will be issued,
provide a broad summary of important aspects of the adult-use cannabis law, and cover a
wide range of expectations and authorities that relate to local governments. This guide also
provides best practices and important requirements for developing a local cannabis
ordinance.
Chapter 342 of Minnesota law
was established by the State
Legislature in 2023 and was
updated in 2024. Mentions of
“adult-use cannabis law” or “the
law” throughout this guide refer
to Chapter 342 and the changes
made to it.
As of this guide’s date of
publication, state regulations
governing the adult-use
cannabis market have not yet
been published—this document
will be updated when such
regulations become effective.
This guide is not a substitute for legal advice, nor does it seek to provide legal advice. Local governments and
municipal officials seeking legal advice should consult an attorney.

About OCM
Minnesota’s Office of Cannabis Management is the state regulatory office created to
oversee the implementation and regulation of the adult-use cannabis market, the medical
cannabis market, and the consumer hemp industry. Housed within OCM are the Division
of Medical Cannabis (effective July 1, 2024), which operates the medical cannabis
program, and the Division of Social Equity, which promotes development, stability, and
safety in communities that have experienced a disproportionate, negative impact from
cannabis prohibition and usage.
OCM, through Chapter 342, is tasked with establishing rules and policy and exercising its
regulatory authority over the Minnesota cannabis industry. In its duties, OCM is mandated
to:
Promote public health and welfare.
Protect public safety.
Eliminate the illicit market for cannabis flower and cannabis products.
Meet the market demand for cannabis flower and cannabis products.
Promote a craft industry for cannabis flower and cannabis products.
Prioritize growth and recovery in communities that have experienced a
disproportionate, negative impact from cannabis prohibition.
OCM governs the application and licensing process for cannabis and hemp businesses,
specific requirements for each type of license and their respective business activities, and
conducts enforcement and inspection activities across the Minnesota cannabis and hemp
industries.
Page 4
License Types
Minnesota law allows for 13 different types of business licenses, each fulfilling a unique role
in the cannabis and hemp supply chain. In addition to license types below, OCM will also
issue endorsements to license holders to engage in specific activities, including producing,
manufacturing, and sale of medical cannabis for patients.
Microbusiness
Microbusinesses may cultivate cannabis and manufacture cannabis products and hemp
products, and package such products for sale to customers or another licensed cannabis
business. Microbusiness may also operate a single retail location.
Mezzobusiness
Mezzobusinesses may cultivate cannabis and manufacture cannabis products and hemp
products, and package such products for sale to customers or another licensed cannabis
business. Mezzobusiness may also operate up to three retail locations.
Cultivator
Cultivators may cultivate cannabis and package such cannabis for sale to another licensed
cannabis business.
Manufacturer
Manufacturers may manufacture cannabis products and hemp products, and package such
products for sale to a licensed cannabis retailer.

The Cannabis Licensing Process
An applicant will take the following steps to proceed from application to active licensure.
As described, processes vary depending on social equity status and/or whether the type of
license being sought is capped or uncapped in the general licensing process.
License Preapproval: Early Mover Process for Social
Equity Applicants
The license preapproval process is a one-time application process available for verified social
equity applicants. State law requires OCM to open the application window on July 24,
2024, and close the window on August 12, 2024. The preapproval process is available for
the following license types, and all are capped in this process: microbusiness, mezzobusiness,
cultivator, retailer, wholesaler, transporter, testing facility, and delivery service.
Applicant’s social equity applicant (SEA) status verified.
Complete application and submit application fees.
Application vetted for minimum requirements by OCM.
Application (if qualified) entered into lottery drawing.
If selected in lottery, OCM completes background check of selected applicant and
issues license preapproval.
Applicant with license preapproval* submits business location and amends application
accordingly.
OCM forwards completed application to local government.
Local government completes certification of zoning compliance.
OCM conducts site inspection.
When regulations are adopted, license becomes active, operations may commence.
*For social equity applicants with license preapproval for microbusiness, mezzobusiness, or
a cultivator license, they may begin growing cannabis plants prior to the adoption of rules if
OCM receives approval from local governments in a form and manner determined by the
office. This is only applicable to cultivation and does not authorize retail sales or other
endorsed activities of the licenses prior to the adoption of rules.

General Authorities
Local governments in Minnesota have various means of oversight over the cannabis market,
as provided by the adult-use cannabis law. Local governments may not issue outright bans on
cannabis business, or limit operations in a manner beyond what is provided by state law.
Cannabis Retail Restrictions (342.13)
Local governments may limit the number of retailers and microbusiness/mezzobusinesses
with retail endorsements allowed within their locality, as long as there is at least one retail
location per 12,500 residents. Local units of government are not obligated to seek out a
business to register as cannabis business if they have not been approached by any potential
applicants, but cannot prohibit the establishment of a business if this population
requirement is not met. Local units of government may also issue more than the minimum
number of registrations. Per statutory direction, a municipal cannabis store (Page 19)
cannot be included in the minimum number of registrations required. For population
counts, the state demographer estimates will likely be utilized.
Tribal Governments (342.13)
OCM is prohibited from and will not issue state licenses to businesses in Indian Country
without consent from a tribal nation. Tribal nations hold the authority to license tribal
cannabis businesses on tribal lands – this process is separate than OCM’s licensing
process and authority. Subject to compacting, Tribal nations may operate cannabis
businesses off tribal lands. There will be more information available once the compacting
processes are complete.
Taxes (295.81; 295.82)
Retail sales of taxable cannabis products are subject to the state and local sales and use tax
and a 10% gross receipts tax. Cannabis gross receipts tax proceeds are allocated as follows:
20% to the local government cannabis aid account and 80% to the state general fund.
Local taxes imposed solely on sale of cannabis products are prohibited.
Cannabis retailers will be subject to the same real property tax classification as all other
retail businesses. Real property used for raising, cultivating, processing, or storing cannabis
plants, cannabis flower, or cannabis products for sale will be classified as commercial and
industrial property.
Page 10
General Authorities (cont.)
Retail Timing Restrictions (342.13)
Local governments may prohibit retail sales of cannabis between the hours of 8 a.m. and
10 a.m. Monday-Saturday, and 9 p.m. and 2 a.m. the following day.
Operating Multiple Locations with One License
Certain cannabis licenses allow for multiple retail locations to be operated under a single
license, with the following limitations:
Retailers: up to five retail locations.
Mezzobusinesses: up to three retail locations.
Microbusinesses: up to one retail location.
Medical cannabis combination businesses: one retail location per congressional
district. Additionally, medical cannabis combination businesses may cultivate at more
than one location within other limitations on cultivation.
For all other license types, one license permits the operation of one location. Each retail
location requires local certification and/or registration.
Page 11
Zoning and Land Use
Buffer Guidelines (342.13)
State law does not restrict how a local government conducts its zoning designations for
cannabis businesses, except that they may prohibit the operation of a cannabis business
within 1,000 feet of a school, or 500 feet of a day care, residential treatment facility, or
an attraction within a public park that is regularly used by minors, including playgrounds
and athletic fields.
Zoning Guidelines
While each locality conducts its zoning differently, a few themes have emerged across the
country. For example, cannabis manufacturing facilities are often placed in industrial
zones, while cannabis retailers are typically found in commercial/retail zones. Cannabis
retail facilities align with general retail establishments and are prohibited from allowing
consumption or use onsite, and are also required to have plans to prevent the visibility of
cannabis and hemp-derived products to individuals outside the retail location. Industrial
hemp is an agricultural product, and should be zoned as such.
Cannabis businesses should be zoned under existing zoning ordinances in accordance with
the license type or endorsed activities held by the cannabis business. Note that certain
types of licenses may be able to perform multiple activities which may have different
zoning analogues. In the same way municipalities may zone a microbrewery that
predominately sells directly to onsite consumers differently than a microbrewery that sells
packaged beer to retailers and restaurants, so too might a municipality wish to zone two
microbusinesses based on the actual activities that each business is undertaking. Table 1,
included on Pages 13 and 14, explains the types of activities that cannabis businesses might
undertake, as well as, some recommended existing zoning categories.

Local Approval Process
Local governments play a critical role in the licensing
process, serving as a near-final approval check on
cannabis businesses nearing the awarding of a state
license for operations. Once an applicant has been
vetted by OCM and is selected for proceeding in the
verification process, they are then required to receive
the local government’s certification of zoning
compliance and/or local retail registration before
operations may commence.
Local Certification of Zoning Compliance (342.13;
342.14)
Following OCM’s vetting process, local governments must certify that the applicant with
preliminary approval has achieved compliance with local zoning ordinances prior to the
licensee receiving final approval from OCM to commence operations.
During the application and licensing process for cannabis businesses, OCM will notify a
local government when an applicant intends to operate within their jurisdiction and request
a certification as to whether a proposed cannabis business complies with local zoning
ordinances, and if applicable, whether the proposed business complies with state fire code
and building code.
According to Minnesota’s cannabis law, a local unit of government has 30 days to respond
to this request for certification of compliance. If a local government does not respond to
OCM’s request for certification of compliance within the 30 days, the cannabis law allows
OCM to issue a license. OCM may not issue the final approval for a license if the local
government has indicated they are not in compliance.
OCM will work with local governments to access the licensing software system to
complete this zoning certification process.
Page 15
Local Approval Process (cont.)
Local Retail Registration Process (342.22)
Once the licensing process begins, local government registration applies to cannabis
retailers or other cannabis/hemp businesses seeking a retail endorsement. Local
governments must issue a retail registration after verifying that:
The business has a valid license or license preapproval issued by OCM.
The business has paid a registration fee or renewal fee to the local government;
Initial registration fees collected by a local government may be $500 or half the
amount of the applicable initial license fee, whichever is less, and renewal
registration fees may be $1,000 or half the amount of the applicable renewal
license fee, whichever is less.
The business is found to be in compliance with Chapter 342 and local ordinances.
If applicable, the business is current on all property taxes and assessments for the
proposed retail location.
Local registrations may also be issued by counties if the respective local government
transfers such authorities to the county.
Determining a Process for Limiting Retail Registrations
If a local government wishes to place a limitation on the number of retailers and
microbusiness/mezzobusinesses with retail endorsements allowed within their locality (as
long as there is at least one retail location per 12,500 residents, see Page 10), state law
does not define the process for a local government’s selection if there are more applicants
than registrations available. A few options for this process include the use of a lottery, a
first-come/first-serve model, a rolling basis, and others. Local governments should work
with an attorney to determine their specific process for selection if they wish to limit the
number of licensed cannabis retailers per 342.13. Local governments are not required to
limit the number of licensed cannabis retailers.
Page 16
Local Approval Process (cont.)
Local governments are permitted specific authorities for registration refusal and
registration suspension, in addition to—and not in conflict with—OCM authorities.
Registration and Renewal Refusals
Local governments may refuse the registration
and/or certification of a license renewal if the
license is associated with an individual or business
who no longer holds a valid license, has failed to pay
the local registration or renewal fee, or has been
found in noncompliance in connection with a
preliminary or renewal compliance check.
Local Registration Suspension (342.22)
Local governments may suspend the local retail registration of a cannabis business or
hemp business if the business is determined to not be operating in compliance with a
local ordinance authorized by 342.13 or if the operation of the business poses an
immediate threat to the health and safety of the public. The local government must
immediately notify OCM of the suspension if it occurs. OCM will review the
suspension and may reinstate the registration or take enforcement action.
Expedited Complaint Process (342.13)
Per state law, OCM will establish an expedited complaint process during the rulemaking
process to receive, review, read, and respond to complaints made by a local unit of
government about a cannabis business. Upon promulgation of rules, OCM will publish
the complaint process.
At a minimum, the expedited complaint process shall require the office to provide an
initial response to the complaint within seven days and perform any necessary
inspections within 30 days. Within this process, if a local government notifies OCM
that a cannabis business poses an immediate threat to the health or safety of the public,
the office must respond within one business day.
Page 17
Inspections & Compliance Checks
Local governments are permitted specific business inspection and compliance check
authorities, in addition to—and not in conflict with—OCM authorities.
Inspections and Compliance Checks (342.22)
Local governments must conduct compliance
checks for cannabis and hemp businesses
holding retail registration at least once per
calendar year. These compliance checks must
verify compliance with age verification
procedures and compliance with any applicable
local ordinance established pursuant to 342.13.
OCM maintains inspection authorities for all
cannabis licenses to verify compliance with
operation requirements, product limits, and
other applicable requirements of Chapter 342.
Page 18
Municipal Cannabis Stores
State law requires OCM issue a license to a
city or county seeking to operate a single
municipal cannabis store if the city or
county:
As authorized in Chapter 342.32, local
governments are permitted to apply for
a cannabis retail license to establish and
operate a municipal cannabis store.
Submits required application information to OCM,
Meets minimum requirements for licensure, and
Pays applicable application and license fee.
A municipal cannabis store will not be included in the total count of retail licenses issued by
the state under Chapter 342.
A municipal cannabis store cannot be counted as retail registration for purposes of
determining whether a municipality’s cap on retail registrations imposed by ordinance.
Page 19
Creating Your Local Ordinance
Local governments may not prohibit the possession,
transportation, or use of cannabis, or the establishment
or operation of a cannabis business licensed under state
law.
Local governments may adopt reasonable restrictions on
the time, place, and manner of cannabis business
operations (see Page 11).
Local governments may adopt interim ordinances to
protect public safety and welfare, as any studies and/or
further considerations on local cannabis activities are
being conducted, until January 1, 2025. A public hearing
must be held prior to adoption of an interim ordinance.
If your local government wishes to operate a municipal
cannabis store, the establishment and operation of such
a facility must be considered in a local ordinance.
As authorized in 342.13, a local government may adopt a local ordinance regarding
cannabis businesses. Establishing local governments’ ordinances on cannabis businesses in
a timely manner is critical for the ability for local cities or towns to establish local control as
described in the law, and is necessary for the success of the statewide industry and the
ability of local governments to protect public health and safety. The cannabis market’s
potential to create jobs, generate revenue, and contribute to economic development at
the local and state level is supported through local ordinance work. The issuance of local
certifications and registrations to prospective cannabis businesses is also dependent on
local ordinances.
