MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 14, 2024
Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
TO: Jessica Jagoe, Interim City Administrator
FROM: Joua Yang, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Preliminary 2025 General Obligation CIP Bond Schedules
Electric Franchise Fee Rate Structure Scenarios
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
Council Should Consider
Provide feedback on the Preliminary 2025 General Obligation Capital Improvement Plan
(CIP) Bond Schedules
Provide feedback on the implementation of Electric Franchise Fees
Backiround
Staff held a Capital Funding Update Open House on Saturday, April 20th at City Hall. Staff
shared that there is an anticipated future gap in funding for the City, largely due to increased costs
for the Lake Johanna Fire Department Station project ($4.1M), the Old Hwy 10 Trail/Lake
Valentine to Hwy 96 and Lake Johanna trail projects ($3.6M), and a recently revised equipment
needs schedule. A survey was released, thereafter, for City residents and businesses to provide
additional input.
During the May 13, 2024 Work Session, staff shared the survey results. There were 73 residential
survey responses, with approximately 54% choosing a franchise fee option (22% - electric only;
32% - gas and electric), approximately 30% choosing a property tax levy option, and
approximately 17% choosing the combination of property tax levy and franchise fee option. For
those respondents who chose any combination of a franchise fee option, approximately 64%
indicated the City should consider dedicating the fees for a specific purpose. Some common
themes included bike lanes, park and trail improvements; structures and road maintenance; storm
water system maintenance and utility infrastructure; fire station. Respondents also provided their
concerns and additional comments for Council consideration. Some common concerns shared is
that an increase to property taxes would burden taxpayers and would remain in effect indefinitely.
Additionally, some respondents shared that non -profits should be assessed a fee in lieu of taxes,
which would mean assessing a levy increase on residents and imposing a franchise fee on non-
residential and non-profit organizations.

Council Discussion
Staff is seeking direction from the City Council regarding debt service and franchise fees adoption
for the Lake Johanna Fire Department new station.
CIP Funding Update —Debt Service & Franchise Fees
Included in the 2025-2029 CIP budget are franchise fee assumptions of $375,000 annually,
estimated to start in 2025 to offset debt service for the new fire station. Per the August 19 budget
work session, Council directed staff to work with the City's financial advisor, Ehler's, to determine
the timing and structure of a bond issuance to occur in the spring of 2025, in order to align with
the anticipated development of the new fire station. Staff and Ehler's recommend that the City
issue bonds independently of one overarching project bond, as this will allow the City to take
advantage of more favorable interest rates through the issuance of Bank Qualified (BQ) bonds
(less than $10 million of tax-exempt bonds).
Attachment A are the preliminary Series 2025 general obligation CIP bond schedules provided by
Ehler's, highlighting one scenario at current market bank qualified (BQ) AAA rates and the second
scenario at current market BQ AAA rates with a 75 basis points cushion. The scenarios assume
the City will issue bonds at a par value between $4,645,000 and $4,690,000, of which $4,425,000
would be directed to the project construction fund, with remaining funds to cover the costs of
issuance, underwriter fees, and interest. Each scenario assumes the bonds would settle on May 15,
2025 at different maturity dates of 10 years, 15 years, and 20 years.
At the September 23 Worksession, Council discussed at length, the cost of the new fire station in
conjunction with debt service and franchise fees. As a follow-up to that discussion, Council had
inquired as to whether the debt service schedule accounts for construction costs at $20 million or
$25 million. Staff confirmed that the $4.425M project estimate (per Attachment A, Page 2,
Deposit to project construction fund) accounts for an estimated $24M of construction cost, less an
estimated $6M in state funding, and the City's 25% proportionate share. Staff also confirmed the
bonds would be callable but it would come at an additional cost or refinancing could also be an
option. What term or debt service schedule does Council want to move forward with? This
direction is needed in order to finalize the franchise fee rate structure.
Attachment B contains nine electric franchise fee rate structure scenarios provided by Xcel Energy.
The scenarios assume three revenue targets of a) $330,000, b) $395,000, and c) $542,000, which
aligns with the Series 2025 general obligation CIP bond schedules at current market BQ AAA
rates. The fee rate structures assume Residential properties are assessed a monthly fee between
$2.50 and $4.25, Small C&I Non -Demand properties are assessed a monthly fee between $3.25
and $5.75, and other property rates varying slightly. For comparative purposes, Attachment C
provides a comparative analysis of a franchise fee and/or property tax increase and the impact to
residential, manufactured homes, apartments, and commercial properties under the $395,000
revenue target. If construction bids come back differently, Council could amend ordinances to
change the rates or the City could find other funding mechanisms to cover any differences. With
the debt service payments expected to occur in February 2026, staff recommends adoption of the
franchise fee rate structure no later than November 2024. This timing is crucial to allow Xcel
Energy time to meet the Public Utilities Commission's requirements. Below is a timeline of key
dates to ensure proper implementation of franchise fees in order to meet the City's bonding need
in the spring of 2025.
Page 2 of 3
• October 28, 2024 — City Council Franchise Fees Ordinance & Agreement
• November 2024 — January 2025 — Public Utilities Commission (PUC) review of
Franchise Fees (ex. PUC needs 90 days, this could shift to December — February 2025
which means implementation is March 2025)
• February 2025 — Implementation of Franchise Fees (aligns one year in advance of debt
service payment)
• Tentative May 15, 2025 — Cities Issuance of Bonds for LJFD Headquarters
• February 2026 — Debt Service Payment
Staff has confirmed with the City Attorney that a public hearing is not required for the adoption of
an ordinance for the implementation of franchise fees and/or approval of the franchise agreements
with Xcel Energy. For all ordinances, a notice is posted on the City website 10 days in advance
of the Council's consideration to inform the public of the upcoming ordinance review. During the
September 23 Worksession, the Council consensus was not to have a public hearing, but instead
add the topic as a new business item to include the steps Council took to inform residents of the
process. Council should discuss and provide direction to city staff on the new business item
at the October 28 meeting. What additional thoughts, if any, should staff consider?
Attachment D is a draft electric franchise ordinance with fees for Council review. This agreement
has been reviewed by the City Attorney and will need to be fully approved and executed prior to
Xcel Energy's implementation of franchise fees on customers' bills.

2025 COMPARTATIVE ANALYSIS -PROPER
For comparative purposes, the below scenarios provide an estimate of what it would cost a property
owner if 1) a franchise fee were imposed or 2) if a property tax levy increase were imposed, in order to
generate $395,000 of revenue for the City. The below tables are based on 2025 estimated
property tax values.
RESIDENTIAL HOMEOWNERS
A $480,900 median residential homeowner would see an increase of:
• $3.00 per month on their utility bill under an electric -only franchise fee scenario -or-
* $9.21 per month on their property tax bill under a bonding scenario, where property taxes are
levied to pay back the bond
Note: It would cost a residential homeowner a fixed monthly rate of $3.00 for the next
15 years. If property taxes were levied, residential homeowners would pay more than
$9.21 per month for the next 15 years. Property taxes are based on a homeowner's
estimated market value, where valuations are likely to increase year over year.

APARTMENT RENTER
A $29,300,000 apartment complex would see an increase of:
• $279.00 per month on their utility bill under an electric -only franchise fee scenario, assuming the
apartment complex is metered similarly to a commercial property -or-
* $2,875.31 per month on their property tax bill under a bonding revenue, where property taxes are
levied to pay back the bond. The property tax levy would impact each rental unit differently, based
upon number of units per apartment building.
Note: The franchise fee increase would be dependent upon how the property is metered. For example, if
an apartment building has a single meter, it would be treated as a commercial property and would be
assessed the commercial rate. If each unit has a separate meter, then each resident would be assessed
the residential rate. The below are estimates only.

SECTION 2. ADOPTION OF FRANCHISE.
2.1 Grant of Franchise. City hereby grants Company, for a period of 20 years from the
date passed and approved by the City, the right to transmit and furnish electric energy for light, heat,
power and other purposes for public and private use within and through the limits of the City as its
boundaries now exist or as they may be extended in the future. For these purposes, Company may
construct, operate, repair and maintain Electric Facilities in, on, over, under and across the Public
Grounds and Public Ways of City, subject to the provisions of this Ordinance. Company may do all
reasonable things necessary or customary to accomplish these purposes, subject, however, to such
reasonable regulations as may be imposed by the City pursuant to ordinance and to the further
provisions of this franchise agreement.
2.2 Effective Date, Written Acceptance. This franchise agreement shall be in force and
effect from and after passage of this Ordinance, its acceptance by Company, and its publication as
required by law. The City, by Council resolution, may revoke this franchise agreement if Company
does not file a written acceptance with the City within 90 days after publication.
2.3 Service and Rates. The service to be provided and the rates to be charged by Company
for electric service in City are subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission. The area within the City
in which Company may provide electric service is subject to the provisions of Minnesota Statutes,
Section 216B.40.
2.4 Publication Expense. The expense of publication of this Ordinance will be paid by
City and reimbursed to City by Company.

parry may take any other action permitted by law.
SECTION 3. LOCATION, OTHER REGULATIONS.
3.1 Location of Facilities. Electric Facilities shall be located, constructed and maintained
so as not to interfere with the safety and convenience of ordinary travel along and over Public Ways
and so as not to disrupt normal operation of any City Utility System previously installed therein.
Electric Facilities shall be located on Public Grounds as determined by the City. Company's
construction, reconstruction, operation, repair, maintenance and location of Electric Facilities shall be
subject to permits if required by separate ordinance and to other reasonable regulations of the City to
the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this franchise agreement. Company may abandon
OA
underground Electric Facilities in place, provided at the City's request, Company will remove
abandoned metal or concrete encased conduit interfering with a City improvement project, but only to
the extent such conduit is uncovered by excavation as part of the City improvement project.
3.2 Field Locations. Company shall provide field locations for its underground Electric
Facilities within City consistent with the requirements of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 216D.
3.3 Street Openings. Company shall not open or disturb any Public Ground or Public
Way for any purpose without first having obtained a permit from the City, if required by a separate
ordinance, for which the City may impose a reasonable fee subject to Section 9.1 of this Ordinance.
Permit conditions imposed on Company shall not be more burdensome than those imposed on other
utilities for similar facilities or work. Company may, however, open and disturb any Public Ground or
Public Way without permission from the City where an emergency exists requiring the immediate
repair of Electric Facilities. In such event Company shall notify the City by telephone to the office
designated by the City as soon as practicable. Not later than the second working day thereafter,
Company shall obtain any required permits and pay any required fees.
3.4 Restoration. After undertaking any work requiring the opening of any Public Ground
or Public Way, Company shall restore the same, including paving and its foundation, to as good a
condition as formerly existed, and shall maintain any paved surface in good condition for one year
thereafter. The work shall be completed as promptly as weather permits, and if Company shall not
promptly perform and complete the work, remove all dirt, rubbish, equipment and material, and put
the Public Ground or Public Way in the said condition, the City shall have, after demand to Company
to cure and the passage of a reasonable period of time following the demand, but not to exceed five
days, the right to make the restoration at the expense of Company. Company shall pay to the City the
cost of such work done for or performed by the City. This remedy shall be in addition to any other
remedy available to the City for noncompliance with this Section 3.4, but the City hereby waives any
requirement for Company to post a construction performance bond, certificate of insurance, letter of
credit or any other form of security or assurance that may be required, under a separate existing or
future ordinance of the City, of a person or entity obtaining the City's permission to install, replace or
maintain facilities in a Public Way.
3.5 Avoid Damage to Electric Facilities. Nothing in this Ordinance relieves any person
from liability arising out of the failure to exercise reasonable care to avoid damaging Electric Facilities
while performing any activity.
3.6 Notice of Improvements. The City must give Company reasonable notice of plans for
improvements to Public Grounds or Public Ways where the City has reason to believe that Electric
Facilities may affect or be affected by the improvement. The notice must contain: (i) the nature and
character of the improvements, (ii) the Public Grounds and Public Ways upon which the
improvements are to be made, (iii) the extent of the improvements, (iv) the time when the City will
start the work, and (v) if more than one Public Ground or Public Way is involved, the order in which
the work is to proceed. The notice must be given to Company a sufficient length of time in advance of
the actual commencement of the work to permit Company to make any necessary additions, alterations
or repairs to its Electric Facilities.
3.7 Shared Use of Poles. Company shall make space available on its poles or towers for
City fire, water utility, police or other City facilities upon terms and conditions acceptable to Company
k-1
whenever such use will not interfere with the use of such poles or towers by Company, by another
electric utility, by a telephone utility, or by any cable television company or other form of
communication company. In addition, the City shall pay for any added cost incurred by Company
because of such use by City.
SECTION 4. RELOCATIO
4.1 Relocation of Electric Facilities in Public Ways. If the City determines to vacate a
Public Way for a City improvement project, or at City's cost to grade, regrade, or change the line of any
Public Way, or construct or reconstruct any City Utility System in any Public Way, it may order
Company to relocate its Electric Facilities located therein if relocation is reasonably necessary to
accomplish the City's proposed public improvement. Except as provided in Section 4.3, Company
shall relocate its Electric Facilities at its own expense. The City shall give Company reasonable notice
of plans to vacate for a City improvement project, or to grade, regrade, or change the line of any Public
Way or to construct or reconstruct any City Utility System. If a relocation is ordered within five years
of a prior relocation of the same Electric Facilities, which was made at Company expense, the City
shall reimburse Company for non -betterment costs on a time and material basis, provided that if a
subsequent relocation is required because of the extension of a City Utility System to a previously
unserved area, Company may be required to make the subsequent relocation at its expense. Nothing in
this Ordinance requires Company to relocate, remove, replace or reconstruct at its own expense its
Electric Facilities where such relocation, removal, replacement or reconstruction is solely for the
convenience of the City and is not reasonably necessary for the construction or reconstruction of a
Public Way or City Utility System or other City improvement.
4.2 Relocation of Electric Facilities in Public Ground. City may require Company, at
Company's expense, to relocate or remove its Electric Facilities from Public Ground upon a finding by
City that the Electric Facilities have become or will become a substantial impairment to the existing or
proposed public use of the Public Ground.
4.3 Projects with Federal Funding. City shall not order Company to remove or relocate
its Electric Facilities when a Public Way is vacated, improved or realigned for a right-of-way project
or any other project which is financially subsidized in whole or in part by the Federal Government
or any agency thereof, unless the reasonable non -betterment costs of such relocation are first paid to
Company. The City is obligated to pay Company only for those portions of its relocation costs for
which City has received federal funding specifically allocated for relocation costs in the amount
requested by the Company, which allocated funding the City shall specifically request. Relocation,
removal or rearrangement of any Company Electric Facilities made necessary because of a federally -
aided highway project shall be governed by the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 161.46, as
supplemented or amended. It is understood that the rights herein granted to Company are valuable
rights.
4.4 No Waiver. The provisions of this franchise apply only to facilities constructed in
reliance on a franchise from the City and shall not be construed to waive or modify any rights obtained
by Company for installations within a Company right-of-way acquired by easement or prescriptive
right before the applicable Public Ground or Public Way was established, or Company's rights under
state or county permit.
rd
SECTION 5. TREE TRIMMING.
Company may trim all trees and shrubs in the Public Grounds and Public Ways of City to the
extent Company finds necessary to avoid interference with the proper construction, operation, repair
and maintenance of any Electric Facilities installed hereunder, provided that Company shall save the
City harmless from any liability arising therefrom, and subject to permit or other reasonable regulation
by the City.
SECTION 6. INDEMNIFICATION.
6.1 Indemnity of City. Company shall indemnify, keep and hold the City free and
harmless from any and all liability on account of injury to persons or damage to property occasioned by
the construction, maintenance, repair, inspection, the issuance of permits, or the operation of the
Electric Facilities located in the Public Grounds and Public Ways. The City shall not be indemnified
for losses or claims occasioned through its own negligence except for losses or claims arising out of or
alleging the City's negligence as to the issuance of permits for, or inspection of, Company's plans or
work. The City shall not be indemnified if the injury or damage results from the performance in a
proper manner, of acts reasonably deemed hazardous by Company, and such performance is
nevertheless ordered or directed by City after notice of Company's determination.
6.2 Defense of Citv. In the event a suit is brought against the City under circumstances
where this agreement to indemnify applies, Company at its sole cost and expense shall defend the City
in such suit if written notice thereof is promptly given to Company within a period wherein Company
is not prejudiced by lack of such notice. If Company is required to indemnify and defend, it will
thereafter have control of such litigation, but Company may not settle such litigation without the
consent of the City, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. This section is not, as to third
parties, a waiver of any defense or immunity otherwise available to the City and Company, in
defending any action on behalf of the City, shall be entitled to assert in any action every defense or
immunity that the City could assert in its own behalf.
SECTION 7. VACATION OF PUBLIC WAYS.
The City shall give Company at least two weeks prior written notice of a proposed vacation of
a Public Way. Except where required for a City improvement project, the vacation of any Public Way,
after the installation of Electric Facilities, shall not operate to deprive Company of its rights to operate
and maintain such Electric Facilities, until the reasonable cost of relocating the same and the loss and
expense resulting from such relocation are first paid to Company. In no case, however, shall City be
liable to Company for failure to specifically preserve a right-of-way under Minnesota Statutes, Section
160.29.
SECTION 8. CHANGE IN FORM OF GOVERNMENT.
Any change in the form of government of the City shall not affect the validity of this
Ordinance. Any governmental unit succeeding the City shall, without the consent of Company,
succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the City provided in this Ordinance.
5
SECTION 9. FRANCHISE FEE.
9.1 Fee Schedule. During the term of the franchise hereby granted, and in lieu of any
permit or other fees being imposed on Company, the City may impose on Company a franchise fee
by collecting the amounts indicated in a Fee Schedule set forth in a separate ordinance from each
customer in the designated Company Customer Class. The parties have agreed that the franchise
fee collected by the Company and paid to the City in accordance with this Section 9 shall not exceed
the following amounts.
Class
Residential
Sm C & I — Non -Derr
Sm C & I — Demand
Large C & I
Public Street Ltg
Muni Pumping —N/D
Muni Pumping — Dem
Fee Per Premise Per Month
9.2 Separate Ordinance. The franchise fee shall be imposed by a separate ordinance
duly adopted by the City Council, which ordinance shall not be adopted until at least 90 days after
written notice enclosing such proposed ordinance has been served upon Company by certified mail.
The fee shall not become effective until the beginning of a Company billing month at least 90 days
after written notice enclosing such adopted ordinance has been served upon Company by certified
mail. Section 2.5 shall constitute the sole remedy for solving disputes between Company and the
City in regard to the interpretation of, or enforcement of, the separate ordinance. No action by the
City to implement a separate ordinance will commence until this Ordinance is effective. A separate
ordinance which imposes a lesser franchise fee on the residential class of customers than the
maximum amount set forth in Section 9.1 above shall not be effective against Company unless the
fee imposed on each other customer classification is reduced proportionately in the same or greater
amount per class as the reduction represented by the lesser fee on the residential class.
9.3 Terms Defined. For the purpose of this Section 9, the following definitions apply:
9.3.1 "Customer Class" shall refer to the classes listed on the Fee Schedule and as
defined or determined in Company's electric tariffs on file with the Commission.
9.3.2 "Fee Schedule" refers to the schedule in Section 9.1 setting forth the various
customer classes from which a franchise fee would be collected if a separate ordinance were
implemented immediately after the effective date of this franchise agreement. The Fee Schedule in
the separate ordinance may include new Customer Class added by Company to its electric tariffs
after the effective date of this franchise agreement.
9.4 Collection of the Fee. The franchise fee shall be payable quarterly and shall be based
on the amount collected by Company during complete billing months during the period for which
payment is to be made by imposing a surcharge equal to the designated franchise fee for the applicable
customer classification in all customer billings for electric service in each class. The payment shall be
Con
due the last business day of the month following the period for which the payment is made. The
franchise fee may be changed by ordinance from time to time; however, each change shall meet the
same notice requirements and not occur more often than annually and no change shall require a
collection from any customer for electric service in excess of the amounts specifically permitted by this
Section 9. The time and manner of collecting the franchise fee is subject to the approval of the
Commission. No franchise fee shall be payable by Company if Company is legally unable to first
collect an amount equal to the franchise fee from its customers in each applicable class of customers by
imposing a surcharge in Company's applicable rates for electric service. Company may pay the City the
fee based upon the surcharge billed subject to subsequent reductions to account for uncollectibles,
refunds and correction of erroneous billings. Company agrees to make its records available for
inspection by the City at reasonable times provided that the City and its designated representative agree
in writing not to disclose any information which would indicate the amount paid by any identifiable
customer or customers or any other information regarding identified customers.
9.5 Equivalent Fee Requirement. The separate ordinance imposing the fee shall not be
effective against Company unless it lawfully imposes and the City monthly or more often collects a fee
or tax of the same or greater equivalent amount on the receipts from sales of energy within the City by
any other energy supplier, provided that, as to such a supplier, the City has the authority to require a
franchise fee or to impose a tax. The "same or greater equivalent amount" shall be measured, if
practicable, by comparing amounts collected as a franchise fee from each similar customer, or by
comparing, as to similar customers the percentage of the annual bill represented by the amount
collected for franchise fee purposes. If the Company specifically consents in writing to a franchise or
separate ordinance collecting or failing to collect a fee from another energy supplier in contravention
of this Section 9.5, the foregoing conditions will be waived to the extent of such written consent.
SECTION 10. PROVISIONS OF ORDINANCE.
10.1 Severability. Every section, provision, or part of this Ordinance is declared separate
from every other section, provision, or part and if any section, provision, or part shall be held
invalid, it shall not affect any other section, provision, or part. Where a provision of any other City
ordinance conflicts with the provisions of this Ordinance, the provisions of this Ordinance shall
prevail.
10.2 Limitation on Applicability. This Ordinance constitutes a franchise agreement
between the City and Company as the only parties, and no provision of this franchise shall in any
way inure to the benefit of any third person (including the public at large) so as to constitute any
such person as a third party beneficiary of the agreement or of any one or more of the terms hereof,
or otherwise give rise to any cause of action in any person not a party hereto.

SUBJECT: Zoning Code Amendments —Chapter 13, Section 1305, 1320, 1325 Cannabis
Zoning Standards Discussion

N/A N/A N/A
Council Should Consider
The City Council should discuss and provide direction on the draft zoning standards for cannabis
uses.
Zoning Code Text Amendments
In 2023, cannabis was legalized for recreational use and the sale, possession, use, and growth of
cannabis was decriminalized. The Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) is currently drafting
rules and standards for licensing and use of facilities that will deal with cannabis. The OCM
recently closed the application period of Social Equity Applicants and received over 1,800
applications. Licenses are anticipated to be issued shortly after the rules from OCM are finalized
in 2025.
A considerable amount of changes to the City Code will be required to address the registration of
cannabis businesses and the use of cannabis, however, the zoning ordinance is specifically used to
control for the time, place, and manner of the operations of a cannabis business provided that such
restrictions do not prohibit the establishment or operation of cannabis businesses. Notably, if the
City wishes to limit the amount of registrations for cannabis retail businesses within the City, this
should not be done in the zoning ordinance, but in the section that establishes standards for
registration.
Cannabis Businesses and Uses
Minnesota State Statute sets a definition for the term "cannabis business." The use of this term
means the following uses:
Page 1 of 6
(1) cannabis microbusiness;
(2) cannabis mezzobusiness;
(3) cannabis cultivator;
(4) cannabis manufacturer;
(5) cannabis retailer;
(6) cannabis wholesaler;
(7) cannabis transporter;
(8) cannabis testing facility;
(9) cannabis event organizer;
(10) cannabis delivery service;
(11) medical cannabis cultivator;
(12) medical cannabis processor;
(13) medical cannabis retailer; and
(14) medical cannabis combination business.
These "businesses" correlate with the types of licenses that will be available from the OCM.
Without amendments to the Zoning Ordinance, all cannabis uses are considered permitted. In terms
of zoning, we can narrow this list by looking at what activity is a part of each type of cannabis
business.

Microbusiness and mezzobusinesses are the two unique use names within cannabis. These uses
can be compared to something like a small winery or brewery; however, on -site consumption of
intoxicating products is prohibited. Microbusinesses and mezzobusinesses are allowed to cultivate,
manufacture/process, package, and sell with their license. Businesses licensed as microbusinesses
or mezzobusinesses can operate multiple locations and the cultivation and manufacturing part of
the license can be located separately from the retail location. As such, the uses may have multiple
parts of a singular building that make up a single structure such as a warehouse type facility for
Page 2 of 6
storage and processing and a greenhouse for cultivation, but these all serve the principal use of
microbusiness or mezzobusiness.
Registration v. Licensing
The OCM will issue and manage licenses for cannabis businesses. Retail operations for cannabis
must register with local units of government before making retail sales to customers or patients.
Currently, local government units are required to allow for one registration for every 12,500
residents. The statute specifies these registrants as cannabis retailers, cannabis mezzobusinesses
with a retail operations endorsement, and cannabis microbusinesses with a retail operations
endorsement. This minimum of one applies only to cannabis retailer registration. It is currently
unclear if the City will be able to limit non -retailer uses to any capacity, however, staff believes
uses that are not required to register cannot be prohibited.
Draft Zoning Standards
The first draft of rules from the OCM addresses many of the operational challenges related to
cannabis such as security, testing, and tracking product through the commercial businesses. There
are gaps left by the OCM's first draft that need to be addressed by local municipalities such as
setbacks, odor control, screening, and nuisances. The OCM is still in the process of developing the
final rules, so the below zoning standards are presented as a draft of what zoning regulations
regarding cannabis uses may look like. Staff will continue to monitor the activity of OCM to ensure
that the standards presented to the Council reflect and work with the final rules from OCM.
The proposed standards have been drafted based on the first draft of rules that the OCM
published on July 30, 2024 and the City Council comments from the September 23, 2024, work
session. The future ordinance amendment may change based on the future changes to the rule
that the OCM has proposed. The standards include:
• Restrictions for cannabis uses, based on business type, based on zoning district
• A 1,000 ft. setback from schools as allowed by Minnesota State Statue
• Use specific standards for indoor cultivation of cannabis -related to character area
standards, odors, screening, lighting, and water management.
• Use specific standards for cannabis microbusiness including consumption standards and
references to other sections.
• Use specific standards for cannabis mezzobusiness including references to other sections.
• Use specific standards for light manufacturing, cannabis -related to character area
standards, warehousing, odors, screening, waste storage, lighting, and water management.
In reviewing these standards, the Council should consider various questions such as:
• Do the permitted districts reflect the vision of the City?
• Should the 1,000 ft. setback apply to cannabis uses solely, or cannabis and hemp
business?
• Does the City want to require odor control measures that limit the odor to the property
line or the exterior of the facility?
• Are there hours of operations the City wants to impose on cannabis related businesses?
• Does the City want to regulate cannabis testing facilities separately from other "Research
and development facilities," which has more permissive standards?
Page 3 of 6
Two aspects of cannabis uses have known potential for nuisances which are not addressed in the
first draft of rules from OCM: odor and lighting. The draft language includes language to address
these potential nuisances.
Odor Control
OCM has left odor control to be controlled at the local level aside from Minnesota Pollution
Control Standards for nuisances. The draft standards include a condition that odor control systems
be installed for uses where odor would be expected as part of the regular businesses (indoor
cultivation, manufacturing, wholesaling). In researching standards for this, some communities
require verification from a qualified industrial hygienist that appropriate odor control systems have
been installed and continual monitoring was required. If the Council wished to require this, the
standards should be modified to reflect this.
Lighting
All uses will be required to meet the standards within the City Code for outdoor lighting, however,
indoor cultivation has a specific need for lighting to facilitate plant growth. Indoor cultivation done
in greenhouses will have semi -transparent structures and during the winter months, the indoor
illumination needed for the plants to grow will be obvious from outside of the structure. In
researching the use in other communities, it was found that 4:30 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. was a time
frame that was used to allow this. Cannabis requires a lighting cycle of 12 hours of light and 12
hours of darkness for ideal growing conditions. This time frame could be more limited if the
Council desired.
Outdoor Prohibition
As part of a cultivator, microbusiness, and mezzobusiness license, cultivation is allowed and can
either be indoor cultivation (greenhouses, hydroponics) or outdoor cultivation. Outdoor cultivation
is not expected to be largely utilized as the growing conditions in Minnesota are not optimal for
cannabis. Regardless, as the City has no agricultural districts or uses within it, the draft language
includes a prohibition for outdoor uses.
Cannabis Testing Facilities
The City may want to consider regulating cannabis testing facilities separately from the "Research
and development facilities" use that exists within the code. If development standards for "Research
and development facilities" were amended, any new standard could make existing uses within the
City legally nonconforming if they did not comply with the amended standards. To avoid this,
cannabis testing facilities would be listed as its own use rather than for "Research and development
facilities" and would be subject to the same standards as other cannabis uses.
Review of Questions from September 23, 2024 Work Session
Staff have reviewed and researched some questions that were posed at the September 23, 2024,
Work Session.
Will cannabis businesses be part of existing businesses or standalone businesses?
Most cities are preparing or passing language that would allow for standalone uses. Further
legal review would be needed if the Council wished to only allow cannabis businesses as
accessory uses. Staff s current understanding of the statutes would not allow for the uses
to be only allowed as accessory uses. The uses could be allowed as accessory uses as well.
Page 4 of 6
Who ensures potency of product?
The OCM is establishing a statewide monitoring system that will track all cannabis
products. Manufacturing of product requires recordkeeping that includes the date the
activity was completed; the name of the worker completing the activity, or the name for
the responsible worker when more than one worker; the process step or description of the
activity that was completed; relevant process control measurements; and batch number.
Can events be prohibited?
Staff believes that events can be prohibited, however, this should be done outside of zoning
and through an event permit of some kind. For reference, Minnesota State Statute 342,39
Cannabis Event Organizer Licensing Subd. 2(7) requires that an event organizer provide
proof of local approval for a cannabis event. The City could not prohibit a cannabis event
organizer from establishing a business in the City, but staff believes that the use would
function like an office with regulations applied by the OCM.
• Can municipalities establish cannabis retail stores?
Municipalities can establish municipal cannabis retail stores, however, if the City operates
a municipal store, one other registration must be allowed.
Could a zoning overlay be implemented to address the uses?
An overlay district could be used to implement the zoning standards, however, what the
boundaries and applicability of the overlays would need to be determined. Most cities that
staff have reviewed are incorporating zoning standards into existing districts.
Can the City impose operational procedures for businesses such as multiple point ID
verification?
Minnesota State Statute 342.13 establishes standards for local control and states:
o A local unit of government may not prohibit the possession, transportation, or use
of cannabis flower, cannabis products, lower potency hemp edibles, or hemp -
derived consumer products authorized under this chapter.
o Except as provided in section 342.22, a local unit of government may not prohibit
the establishment or operation of a cannabis business licensed under this chapter.
o A local unit of government may adopt reasonable restrictions on the time, place,
and manner of the operation of a cannabis business provided that such restrictions
do not prohibit the establishment or operation of cannabis businesses.
The City may impose standards for the manner of the operation of a cannabis business. If
the Council has direct input as to what operation should look like, staff will research those
standards and provide an evaluation on the reasonableness and a report on if the OCM
regulates the manner of operation. Currently the OCM draft rules regulates sale by the
following:
Subp. 2. Age verification.
A. Retailers must confirm that individuals within the retail area are 21 years of
age or enrolled in the medical cannabis patient registry — or their registered
caregivers.
B. Retailers must confirm an individual's age or enrollment in the medical
cannabis patient registry at the time of sale of any item regulated by the office.
Page 5 of 6
C. Retailers must confirm individuals age using one of the documents provided
for in Minnesota Statutes, section 342.27, subdivision 4(b).
Minnesota State Statute 342.27 Subd. 4(b) requires the following:
b) Proof of age may be established only by one of thefollowing:
(1) a valid driver's license or identification card issued by Minnesota,
another state, or a province of Canada, and including the photograph
and date of birth of the licensed person;
(2) a valid Tribal identification card as defined in section 171.072,
paragraph (b);
(3) a valid passport issued by the United States;
(4) a valid instructional permit issued under section 171.05 to a person of
legal age to purchase adult -use cannabis flower or adult -use cannabis
products, which includes a photograph and the date of birth of the
person issued the permit; or
(5) in the case of a foreign national, by a valid passport.
Is registration tied to all owners and operators of a registration like tobacco?
Registration is directly tied to the license issued by the OCM. The City's ordinance for
cannabis registration would likely address this question. Criteria has not been developed
for the registration portion of cannabis use and will be considered as part of future
discussions.
Discussion
Staff is looking for direction from the City Council on the draft ordinance language for cannabis
uses.

Agenda Setting Policy
The purpose of this policy is to establish a method for agenda setting that allows for Council to
review and have control over its agendas and decide as a Council how it wants items for
consideration to be brought forward.
For regular worksession agendas:
• Prior to concluding each regularly scheduled worksession, the City Council shall review
its next regularly scheduled worksession agenda and direct Staff on any changes.
• Should an individual Councilmember want to raise an item for discussion at the next
meeting or in the future, they would do so during this review period. The item would
need at least one other Councilmember to agree to having the item considered for future
discussion, and then Council, by majority, would direct to have it placed on a future
agenda or not.
Staff will have flexibility to add or remove items to the worksession as needed to
maintain operational efficacy.
For regular City Council meeting agendas:
• Agendas will be largely Staff driven based on approvals needed for normal operations.
• Items coming from the City Council shall first be discussed at a worksession and can
direct Staff at said worksession to bring items forward for formal approval if needed.
• In rare instances, if a Councilmember brings forward an item that needs approval prior to
going to a worksession, they may request the City Administrator add the item to the
agenda. The City Administrator shall have the discretion to determine if the issue should
be added or not, but Councilmembers will make every effort to having the item first
discussed at a worksession.
Special meetings and emergency meetings:
• Special meetings and emergency meetings may still be called at the discretion of the
Mayor or any two Councilmembers, and the members calling the meeting shall set the
agenda.
