Council Meeting Minutes for June 12, 2023 Page 11 of 12 registration fees are scripted in the statute. The City would receive a fraction of the cannabis tax from retailers to be used to pay for compliance and testing. Roles of the City would be to confirm they are compliant with the City’s zoning rules, register businesses, and do compliance checks. Klein ask if the cannabis licensing would mirror liquor licensing. Bear replied that it was a new regulatory program that would be handled by the Office of Management Cannabis. If the City had adopted regulations on low potency products, those rules would be replaced by state licensing, however the City did not have those regulations in place. Miron recalled that when the City voted on the moratorium in the first place, part of the rationale was to wait for the state to comprehensively figure it out. He said it would be premature to allow something now and felt it made sense to extend the moratorium. Bear explained the current moratorium ended in August, and this would be a new moratorium. Staff would be working on the language for the moratorium. Petryk made motion, Miron seconded, to authorize a public hearing at the next Council meeting to discuss the consideration of a cannabis business moratorium. All Ayes. Motion carried.
