ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION— JUNE 20, 2022 2 <br /> B. THC Edibles Discussion <br /> Mayor Grant said that it is now legal to sell THC laden edibles in Minnesota. <br /> City Administrator Perrault stated that the legislature short-circuited the regulation and policy <br /> making on this issue, so Cities are playing catch-up. Some cities have approved one-year <br /> moratoriums,most cities are waiting on the League of Minnesota Cities to issue official guidance. <br /> Councilmember Holden said she didn't want this being sold in Arden Hills. <br /> Councilmember Scott said he would be in favor of a special license. <br /> Councilmember Holmes felt they should do a moratorium. <br /> Mayor Grant said if they do a moratorium for a year they can figure out where the League and <br /> other cities end up. <br /> City Administrator Perrault noted personnel policies would also need to be changed in the <br /> coming months regarding drug and alcohol testing. <br /> City Administrator Perrault said the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office would like to see <br /> consistency among the cities for enforcement. There is currently no model language. <br /> Clerk Hanson said White Bear Lake is considering a moratorium. Stillwater, Robbinsdale, Prior <br /> Lake, Cottage Grove have passed moratoriums. <br /> After further discussion it was decided to move forward with a one-year moratorium. <br /> 2. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND STAFF UPDATES <br /> Councilmember Holmes wondered if they want to think about having an Airbnb (short term <br /> rental) license. <br /> Councilmember Holden said she is aware of a home being rented by the week. She also thought <br /> they should increase the home rental registration fee. <br /> City Clerk Hanson noted the current fee is $45 that is doubled if they register late, and a <br /> misdemeanor can be charged if they don't register. <br /> Mayor Grant suggested they discuss short term rentals in 2023. <br /> City Administrator Perrault asked if they wanted to discuss a permanent speed sign on Lake <br /> Johanna Boulevard. <br /> Mayor Grant said the temporary would suffice. <br /> City Administrator Perrault said they could discuss the trail study at the next work session and <br /> asked for clarification on gaga ball pits. <br />
