Motion to Approve Ordinance 2022-006 an Interim Ordinance Prohibiting the Sale, Testing, Manufacturing and Distribution of Products Containing THC and Authorization to Publish a Summary Ordinance City Clerk Hanson stated on July 1, 2022,the Minnesota Legislature adopted an amendment that permits the sale of edible cannabinoid products that contain no more than 0.3% of THC (a derivative of hemp). The amendment was enacted with very few regulations in place, leaving the responsibility on the individual cities to determine what, if any, additional regulations to put in place. She noted the City Council discussed this topic at a special work session on August 8 and directed staff to prepare a draft ordinance for consideration of a one year moratorium which would allow staff and Council more time to further study the matter. Councilmember Holden stated the item came to the City quite fast. She noted the League of Minnesota Cities was reviewing this matter and would be making recommendations to cities. She explained she supported the City having a moratorium in place to allow the City more time to investigate how to regulate the sales of products containing THC. Councilmember Scott referenced that this item requires the City to publish a summary Ordinance. MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a motion to Approve Ordinance 2022-006 an Interim Ordinance Prohibiting the Sale, Testing, Manufacturing and Distribution of Products Containing THC, with the Motion including Authorization to Publish a Summary Ordinance. The motion carried (5-0). 8. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. Planned Unit Development Amendment (Signage Flexibility) — 4200 Round Lake Road —Delkor Systems and Colder Products Company—Planning Case 22-014
