As required by a moratorium, the city is studying the issue by talking with our law enforcement and school officials, watching what other cities are doing to see what is working and what is not, and soliciting input from the public. Some of the regulations other cities are considering include: • Behind -the -counter sales • Licensing w/background checks • Buffers around schools and daycares • No mobile or vending machine sales As always, you may submit any thoughts you have on the issue through infoLcentervillemn.com or keep an eye out for a public hearing and other opportunities to weigh in.
