like a lot of money but there actually was repair yeah those was a repair yeah okay there answer thank you yeah I'm sorry I wasn't pay attention I didn't what you said the first time and there were people messing around with the courthouse fire alarm system too so that's why I wasn't sure that was Su was

place well we're approving the payments well I see that but I mean you know just like a little feedback that's on oh the actual easements y we we don't have WR wrote up easements for I spoke with several different train inspectors and
they said the amount of money you have to spend in order to actually establish that is it's not worth no one does your easement the law yeah state law is your we're just paying before
that land right and the redetermination right Mr I make the motion to pay the bills second motion and second pay the bills any more discussion all in favor signify by
saying I oppos carried Emergency Management good morning morning um this working what's that TV still working just got it actually just before I left my office they put the outlet in for it
so need a bigger one yeah come on over this afternoon we'll have some basket no anyway um that's next it'll get it'll get hooked up today so um been sitting under my desk for a week or so now
so um this mitigation plan has been going on since last year Tina started the process um it's all been through FEMA this is just the adoption of the resolution to finish that out and then our Hazard mitigation plan will be good
for 5 years I think is the cycle that they're on for review on that so this is really the final piece um several cities should have adopted it last night I think most of them had their Monday meetings so um once we get I think
there's five of our seven towns adopted there were two that did not submit their correct stuff to to be allocated to the hazard mitigation plan um but really that just affects them if let's say Wendell wanted to do a storm
shelter or something like that they did not file the proper paperwork to get any FEMA dollars for something like that um I asked the question of if they needed one the county could come in and say this is a location we
want to put a to get the feema dollars for it and it could be in Wendell or it could be in Norcross but they can redo this stuff in five years to them you know if that's something that they're interested in so anyway at this point they did not do the proper stuff so it's
the the other five towns in the county that adopt this and then that'll complete the process so this is just signatures adopting the resolution of the plan that we've been working on for a year
basically so there's nothing else for that for the no plan nope it's the final this is the final adoption so it's all been through so we submitted the plan it all went through FEMA they did all their checks and everything we have a we have a
consultant that does most of the work on this and uh and so it's all been up through those channels and now it's just a matter of adoption from everybody and that's the final once I have all those I'll send them off to um this consultant and they'll process them through FEMA
and everything will be done so so you're just looking for a motion for just a just an adoption of the resolution for this Hazard mitigation plan and then couple signatures and we'll be good to go yep so moved
second motion a second to uh sign adopt this mitigation plan any more discussion all in favor of the motion signify by saying I I oppose cared perfect
says a print name do you want me to to sign it or um think I think yes thank you thank you okay I'm just looking for approval
to for these two uh proposals for material testings on two projects um one's the County Road 34 project which is the Pine Ridge Park Road the other is the th55 c replacement um east of wendle
there so dollar amount for theal 34 one is $1,553 d55 is 24,42 what was the first one dollar amount yeah1
[Music] 18553 ni I think I sent these to you yes y we got questions got to do it yeah process so I will make that motion Mr chair for both
proposals I'll second have a motion to Second for these two proposals any more discussion all in favor the most and signify by saying I I close
carod all I had thank you morning how we all doing today good good so uh as you saw in the bills I asked for $8,000 um check for to hold the order of
a new pickup um it is on the schedule Ken like you'd like to know it's in their papers it was approved to their budget this year or for our equipment so um so what I'm looking for I guess is just the approval to go ahead and order this
thing see your schedule you had 55,000 did pickups come down or was that just a that was a rough estimate because I didn't know where it was going to be at so um you know I don't know if we'd have to buy one off the lot or if we could order one and get the discount cuz they
only allow you to order certain times so yeah it's better as lower than the other yeah exactly where it come from value for yeah y what's the Trad in on the Chevy uh we will sell that on the auction that what you're yep I think we have a much better
look selling them things yeah they're not even going to want yeah they're not even going to want they're going to turn around put on an auction sale ni so yeah yeah what Au s or service you use again the govdeals.com
so then we get commission back on that so we made it then they come here and pick it up right yep they come here and pick it up all we do is I take pictures put online yeah and they pretty much take care of the rest of it so this is a
pickup yep and what kind of shape is did the one that we're going to get rid of yeah is a 2012 actually the GMC it's got 235,000 miles on it um second second motor we're going to put a second transmission if we don't get rid of it
so yeah so it doesn't pay to right to slide it into a fleet anywhere no I would highly suggest we get rid of this thing what's it 3500 bucks I haven't even price soose that yeah that truck has been around say Steve Jord was
working down there well possibly yeah he used to take it home when he was the supervisor okay a long time ago remember that right yeah truck oh I'll make the motion to purchase that
vehicle I'll SEC excuse me I'll second it any more discussion any idea when it'll be here or um I'm not sure okay so after we get the checked down to them they'll get it ordered and I imagine it'll
take couple months so any more discussion all favor the motion f i I carried thanks guys think that very efficient this one like this when Ro restri on
Friday in this area yeah empty your pick a boat what that empty your pick a Bo yeah that I have a feeling is going to get some construction individuals off guard yeah that early you mean yeah that I have not seen normally you see trucks
just roaring with dozers and a week or two before restrictions go on if they're going on Friday Friday's been all for two weeks have they maybe it's just I haven't been anywhere to see them they got haul my nephew is one of
the haulers but they've been going out to D Smith South they took 10 scrapers and and three backos and what are they doing out there 28,000 dairy or
something and then sou Falls are doing a road about the same amount of stuff down there John I can give you an update on kind of the assessor's office right now is we're going to be setting out Valu we're going to start printing valuation notices here
this week so we'll print about 7500 valuation notices right now we're going to see about a 6% increase in the tillable land um residential is the lower end of the residential Market it's going to be
increasing pretty substantially we're looking at about a 38% increase in Herman U most of the other cities we're looking anywhere from a 10 to 15% increase same thing what we ended up
doing basically doubling all the land value in all the small cities um what we're seeing for land sales coming through is we we've been low so we're basically increasing all the land sales um within the city
um so the cities are are definitely going to get hit pretty hard this year so when you're talking land sales in the city you talking lot lot sales yep between commercial lot sales residential lot sales we're starting to see a few of
those come through and we're just you know they're selling for7 8,000 and we have you know $4,000 on so so you apply an increase to a bacup lot you apply
that increase to a lot that's got a home on it we did both is that fair because there's a limited amount of inventory on a vacant lot whereas there's a house talk about how that works okay so
um also with the homes what we were seeing is that we were low on all our lower and houses so when we do if we do a a cam rate increase BAS basically it affects the upper end of the market more
than the lower end and what we noticed in this last sales period is our lower end sales are were we were low on so we had to raise the values on the lower end homes so part of doing that is raising
the lot values from you know $4 to 8,000 or it can be up to $122,000 um that has a larger impact on the lowend homes than it does the upper end hous the other thing that we ended up doing is we ended up raising our
rates on our lower-end properties to bring those up as well so some of these properties not everybody's going to see the same increase because if you have the nicest Town House in town that house value probably didn't go up
38% probably still pretty flat because we've had a number of upper end houses sell in Herman in Elbow Lake in ashy down in H and the upper end is basically statment but the lower end is where all
the increase need to be have so that's why we're doing those increases on the land is to bring the whole lower end up more without impacting the upper end of the market here leads Mar so when people look at it somebody might like within the same city somebody
might not see any increase but another person might see 20% increase but again it's because of the sales that happened in that jurisdiction are we dictate where we increase the value
so you look at the sales this feels like funky math if you're trying to generate an increase in your F the end houses didn't go up but you're now you're you're adding to the land Val because of the lower
end is that can you stand up and explain that to everybody uh if I had all the sales in front of me right now I could show you show it to you so that you could see what what this actually looks like so even though I'm I'm increasing the land value even on the upper end
ones a little bit it's because you have to remember that an improved parcel is worth more than a bare parcel is so because it has amenities such as electricity it has septic it has water those are things that are already tied
to an improve lot so they are worth more than strictly a vacant lot sure so I want to go back to you did not mean to say generate an increase right we're not trying to generate an increase we're getting
values to match what the sales are just just so we're clear we're not trying to generate increases but what I'm saying is seems like well we talk about time turn analysis and sales comparative sales well now what I heard is we're
applying what happened on low end through the land values on the high end and it felt like it it doesn't stay constant if we're going to apply time Trend and sales so we are still we're limiting the amount of increase on the upper end so even though the land might
have gone up a little bit we might will allow the depreciation to property to occur without putting the increase in the building cost schedule so even though there might be a couple thousand land increase we're allowing the building value to come back down just a
little bit to keep that level oh so there was that correction on that there is a correction on that as well then you answered my question thank you and no I wasn't you got to be careful what you say because this is recorded and you have a commissioner
saying we're generating increases in values that was a way better reflection yeah keep me in line there any improv I don't want to deal with that later any improvements in these assessments that haven't been satisfied things like that you know what I mean
that's that could you know what I mean raise the values on real estate that isn't been that's been improved and we haven't seen a softening of residential sales or number of residential sales are up over last year
even our agricultural sales we've got Le the we have 21 sales this year last year we only had 17 so we're seeing more sales coming through so that we have more data to create the assessment which is a good thing it's more reflection of the entire
Market how about the various Lake Shore uh various Lake Shore it looks like Barrett Lake the the vacant lot sales are up a little bit do a slight increase on fa Lake um the other Lakes
we've done that already we we pretty well yep um so Lake Shore is probably to see a 3 to 5% increase in valuations figured I'd give you a little heads up on what's get sent
out huh I got ta that's the other miscon conception that people have is just because we raise values doesn't mean that property taxes are going to go up it's one of
those things that it's your taxes based off the and the assessment is basically how we split that piece of the pie between all the property owners so they did last
time we talked about this you had what 17 million or $21 million wor of additions do do you have a new number for that yet or I haven't gotten down to that point yet I'll have those numbers in the next probably two weeks sure
I'm just trying to get valuation on I didn't know when process yeah that'll all be calculated when I run my my prison files and those are du at the end of
March that usually takes me about two weeks to finish get everything cleaned up and finish to S to state get back you and say hey this doesn't Works quite right or because they'll do that if we don't
do anything right they yes they will um so we had a 16% time Trend this year so my job was to basically time Trend all the sales out then I recalculate all the median values to make sure that our
increases were enough so that's where I I have to calculate two different ways and so once I get time trended I have to make sure that all our increases were appropriate and if they weren't appropriate I either need to do more increases or I need to see if there's
different segments of the market that I can improve on um so that we can make sure that our coefficient of dispersion which basically tells you how good the assessment is um make sure that I'm increasing the right things so that I don't you know make these numbers go all
sorts of I like your updates because every every year I just learn a little more it's good to hear them from you Mr Environmental Services did you like to come up your
show today I got another deal after the stuff Carl sent yeah yesterday morning I got another one it's basically the same thing they are the contracts for the people who haul all the different things down seconding Center here in town to do their work basically the say their
prices are the same none of those changed some EA stuff maybe is changing but they still are waiting so they'll probably be next year change but otherwise it's just contracts and holl license so they can operate here all that is based out of our ordinance so Bic so the prices of the stuff stay
pretty much the same with last almost no change at all so there there's some with the ball stuff I think they changed the how much we rent their big cardboard tubes that we stuff all these light bulbs in I think they went up a couple
of bucks so but overall pretty much the same so I have one contract to holler application from uh SW Inc which is out of Wilmer and they take all the appliances and scrap metal that we get down there and then there is uh two
other holler licenses and two contracts one they're both with the retrofit which is TRC they take all of the floresent light bulbs uh hogen light bulbs all the E-Waste all the TVs keyboards all that kind of stuff they take all the
batteries too so those are the bulbs and the batteries and electronics are two separate things so they have two contracts for that so there's three contracts and three h l there's a spot on there for you to sign on the um
the holler licenses and then on the contracts for you and C if you guys sub choose so do we need to do them separate we do them all on I'll make a motion to do all three second any more
discussion they've been doing them for a long time yeah they're they're I'm not going to say they're the only game in town but they're pretty close to the only games in town uh there's a couple more that will be coming but they're still getting all their things together and there's no Fe increases on all it's
the same so that's why I'm not like trying to push him to hurry up and get them I was Tour all the fees are same so yeah all in favor of the motion signify by saying I I oppos Carri oh got I'll leave this stuff with Carl
because there's quite a few spots the stack they don't take very much to make an you could you just your D and then put a smiley face at it that could be your your mark HR did you want to put is that what you talked about putting them on the IND the
Environmental Services or no I HR will be with at the end at the end you done play Candy Land yet yeah I don't know where Jen went she's here as well are
we are we going to be approving the contract is that what that the what the Herman contract yeah yeah we didn't get we just got the last page that excuse me is that significant yeah it's just for
the signature yeah for theard chair no change whatsoever this that's all I was given morning morning um couple things that we have today is one uh just asking for the
signature from the board chair and the county coordinator for the uh law enforcement contract with the city of Herman uh we met with them on February 10th and at that meeting they approved for 2025 uh with the old language of open
negotiations for 26 and 27 so that would be the the first request and then second um it's that time of year again uh when we look at our rotation of
our squad cars that the county actually purchases the Sheriff's Office and that's the uh my vehicle and the chief chief depuy's vehicle um historically uh we run those
for five years as as a primary squad for each one of us and then uh at the end of the five years we will rotate that particular Squad into an extra one that we always keep um a lot of it it depends on than
what we're doing um one thing that we do utilize that those extra squads for an hour or that extra Squad is for uh sending our guys to training uh instead of racking up the miles on the lease Vehicles trying to keep within the confines of the lease agreements with
the state so um the one that we're talking about is the current one that Jen is driving was a 2020 F-150 um I spoke with Todd Blair last
week about the state pricing to replace for a pickup truck and also uh keep in mind now we've got a 2015 at 150 uh that currently uh is our backup extra vehicle that you know we've we've kept for 10
years now uh five years as a as a actual squad on the road and then five years as a extra vehicle uh for various purposes um he came and took a look at that vehicle uh test drove it uh and
then threw out a a trade in price for that uh keep it in mind that um you know the turnaround to order a new Squad and get it is anywhere from 6 to 10 months so that price uh could change depending
on usage and mileage uh on on the trading for that vehicle um but anyways the uh bid price uh uh for the new 2000 would be a
2025 F-150 responder um is uh 47877 tradeing value of our current 2015 F-150 would be 15,5 60 so you know that that Squad with the
trade in if that is what the uh board so chooses to do you know we'd be looking at the purchase price of you know about what $32,000 for for a new pickup truck um if you recall in previous board meetings
conversations one thing that uh we do uh with our budget is that every year we budget $15,000 towards the replacement of a new pickup truck which is every five years so every five years we'd have $75,000
roughly uh in the budget to work with the replacement of these SC cars so you know unfortunately these these prices that I presented to you are not set in stone because of the time
frame um I think if if uh we got an absolute on the price of the current Squad and we're able to order it within the next you know a few weeks let's say I think it'd be pretty pretty close to what the overall price is just can't
guarantee what the tradein price is going to be uh come six eight 10 months down the road so maybe Carl so we we've had discussions far as I'll just call it a
fleet having vehicles available for various departments to do their jobs how do County you don't get much for $5,300 $560 should we be looking at putting
this into a fleet where it's available to other departments well here let me add to that one Kim so what we do with those squads that we will remove the decals okay and we will license them okay because right now
they're just they're the sheriff plates tax exempt but we will license those but all of our Squad equipment is left within those Vehicles because it is technically a backup squad car and so keep it in mind now if if we
were to move those into a fleet as you know for County vehicles for everybody to use um now somebody has access to um all of our radio traffic lights siren
everything else and U are you talking about he's talking about keep the 2015 oh I'm sorry okay you're talking oh I I misunderstood you I'm sorry so you would air down and I'm just so if we're if we if we go this route I asked Pat
the same question about when he's looking at selling whatever old truck 2012 pickup truck on the auction I just feel if we go this route we turn around to try to find something you don't get a lot of 15,000 if we have something that
can be you know it's going to get minimal miles within the county I got to believe we shouldn't miss the opportunity possibly at least talk about it and there is there was one other vehicle that was budgeted for a new
vehicle in 2025 and that was in the Environmental Services office you know that would that would be another discussion of whether that vehicle would would fit those needs um because I believe that if
there were three I think it could definitely be used as as such that would you know they budgeted right around $30,000 for new vehicle whether that was supposed to be for a car for a pickup truck or for an SUV I don't know I think
that would be a a further discussion maybe between you know Greg and Reed myself and John if that was the board wanted to go it FL along that line of course we don't know
but we'd be remiss to not kind of feel that maybe there's going to be some changes financially from the federal state to County government so if we ignore the potential and just buy
in three months from now we go man live this is pretty Rocky so to me there's two things on the table today is we should order this vehicle as soon as possible because if we have tariffs now going
on your 47,000 could easily be 60 so I mean if if it's that time that we need to get a truck done I would say call them today and if it's under 50,000 get it ordered okay the second part of what we do with the 2015 truck I
think we need to put we're not making a new committee but put it to one of our committees because if we're going to add a vehicle to the County's Fleet we'll call it what are we paying right now for mileage that tells
me that we need to spend more money on a Vehicles rather than but for today I don't think we worry about a tradein because it's 15,000 for a tradein we could have Pat sell it for probably 20 we're not going
to trade it in because we get no tax incentive off of right so I would say get that one ordered and we're not going to worry about the trade in we'll decide in the next 10 months what we're going to do with that other truck how many miles is
on that uh 97,000 top pick yes is that your motion TR I'll make a motion to get as long as we can get that truck ordered for under $50,000 we do it right away I'll second
it we have a motion and second for new truck any more discussion just along the line is we approved a $1,000 bill for Pat's truck highway to lock in that purchase from value we need
to approve $1,000 to do the same for these so we don't we just approv giving them $50,000 that's what want okay but we should do something so it doesn't go up yeah I I'll uh I can reach out to Todd right away I mean but
I mean in reality if Tod goes well it's going to be 55 but you give me 50 today a commitment today right any more discussion all in favor motion signify by saying I I pa cares we're going to
have look and see if we want to add to the fleet if we want to sell it doesn't matter to me we should put a committee on but be a motion for the contract oh y oh here's
your this is the Herman contract okay I'll make the motion approve that contract ition all in favor of the motion for I got some discussion I just think it probably is appropriate in all cases that if we're going to be approving a contract that will privilege the whole
contract not just the last age yeah well the only reason I sent the last page is because that contract is a say Ash as as Barett Hoffman I understand but if if we're going to vote upon a contract we should be privileged with the
contract is the motion carried yep we haven't been voted we haven't voted on the on the city or the city one yet right any more discussion all in favor of the motion signify say I iOS
perod Carl can you just send out an email with that full contract down there to it yes okay John where are we sitting now with our contract can I copy this El Lake still has that signed El
Lake's last one no yeah maybe maybe there was some additional discussion again last night so we'll go back and try again next month so as far as that fleet vehicle stuff do we want to put that building I don't
wherever you want to put it but let's analyze what we're paying in mileage is it a good move to have another vehicle I have a suggestion there that possibly that could land in the Strategic finance committee and because
I think it's a a larger issue then maybe with one Department it because it's kind of changing how we operate and I you like that idea or not but that's probably a suggestion how have develop something
moving forward TR stre through plan anybody have any problems with that no you want to make that a motion sure i' do that you get a second second all in favor having the strategic
planning um take care of the vehicle we're going to keep it or transfer it or whatever we're going to do with it but you know it's probably a bigger issue looking at the fleet concept which would then include this
yeah it's my suggestion was that we look at the whole program any more discussion all in favor the motion signify by saying I I oppos Carri Ashley I have a couple things today uh
first is the vacation and sick donation program so we have an employee that um is having some health issues um recurring it's been um health issues that they're dealing with um and has requested vacation and sick donation um to be put into place and so I'm here
today to ask for the approval of that this individual did get all the paperwork filled out from the phys uh supervisor and herself um and so if approved I would send out an email uh to all employees asking if they are willing
and wanting to donate to this individual for reoccurring appointments um uh potential for an operation things like that so it's it's it's for those reoccurring appointments upcoming ones um so just looking for approval for
that any more discussion all in favor of the motion signify we say I I oppose car all right my second thing um I received um notice from Tina um accepting the offer that
the Personnel committee um made and so I'm here to um review the proposal and get approval uh so the proposal from the Personnel committee as we discussed um with the experience and um experience that she you know would bring to Grant
County we'd be looking at beings that it's you know within or hasn't been you know six months um since she had left with We R State a original hire date um and we would put her on the step
seven of the coordinator scale at 53.81 an hour and then um once we get the new wage scale implemented we would guarantee a step six on the new scale um and then allow to frontload four vacation days into her bank and
beings it is within the six Monon um period we would wave the probationary period um she's requested if she would be allowed or granted to continue to work with WEA weather radar which I think is important because it has benefited Grant County um I think it's
winding down as the commitment um maybe some committee um meetings things like that and then um also requested for Mutual aid for Pope County as they hire someone in to allow to uh help train as you know we had asked and they allowed
Pope County allowed us to do it as well um so I think that's appropriate as well um and we talked about a start date of April um 28th Monday both me I'll make that motion Mr chair to
approve that second motion second any more discussion all in favor the motion signify by saying I I oppos Carri all I have thank you thank you
you um the next item on the agenda is the bits for cleaning contract for snow removal on uh on Mowing and the the cleaning contract um with the the retirement of
Radford would be in the best interest s County to verify that whether it would be more efficient to hire all those services or would it be more efficient to uh to hire a new
employee Ashley had gotten me some information to see what it was for a loaded costs of an employee and it would be about $108,000 is what the current services are being provided um while we had an employee I'm just looking
for it the approval to go up for bids for those Services I will make that motion to any more desion can you break that that contract down so snow and and cleaning and Lawn is completely separate it would
be three separate contracts completely separate I didn't hear you quoted what 1008 th000 10 something thousand what was that for I didn't catch that that was the the loaded cost of an employee or the lawnmower for the the maintenance
of the lawnmower okay um that was all factored into the yearly cost of yes that's what a staff member would correct sure thank you so girl if if we go that route then that people mowing would Supply
their own mower is that what you're saying yes It Ain't a Bad Thing to test the waters what's out there so but the like are you talking separate cleaning contract cor
so the people doing the snower go or the lawn mowing that would be another separate contract those would be two separate contracts so if there was a lawn care company who wanted to do just the lawn but they didn't want to do the snow removal the snow removal would be a separate
contract and it would be written in that if there's more than an inch of snow on the parking lot they would be require within a certain time period and side walks and everything yes yes it would be for
everything y just wondering if you know there could be an option to do the snow and La just you get more competitive B you know there are entities that would absorb both it's just
the we could send them I mean send them out either way or whatever I another thought bill you mentioned the sidewalks and snow removal a lot of times they're going to be hearing very likely in the dark and
probably their bidding this have a number of parking lots will just say that's somewhat different than the walkways up to the door shovel so with our expectation that when they do the parking lot they've done
probably what Jeff or R have done when you talk about right up to the door and the sidewalk what's our is that our expectation and is that a good expectation I feel that it's a a good expectation station
um and I also feel like there would still be some maintenance done by Grant County during regular working hours of if there's a little Dusty the snow that that would be taken care of by facilities maintenance just you know as they're there during the day they can
still clean up around the doors um but I would say that if there's a six or eight inch snow event they would be expected to clean up to the doors and we that into a contract so then back to D's question from an equipment
standpoint do we not plan on then not having the broom a lot more that just a followup because if you're in a s removal business you have it's pretty
much a n type of situation and and the contract holder would more than likely have a lot of faces besides Grant account I'm just wondering if they're going to service all their customers and have to do up the sidewalks and doors not sure sure that's a great
expectation especially since we have chff and we have a lawnmower and a sweeper just for discussion chair I think we're in a situation where we're coming out of winter we're not going to get anybody in
place prior to the end of this winter let's see what we get set the expectations as we have them let's see what we get for a return I'm not against having it so that there would be both I just don't know how to do
it where it's separate but yet you can also bid on both you maybe just you can be either or or both you know if you do both and that's the lowest combine them up that's the lowest I just don't think it's a realistic
expectation that that they're going to clean the sidewalks up to the new law enforcement center appropriately plus get all the parking lots in the vid plus all this and we still have a paid staff member in that department and the
equ don't forget the recycling center they cleaned that one up too it might be a situation where we the the piece of equipment that we have right now might not be the best piece of equipment for everything if we if it's a lesser amount it might be a
smaller piece of equipment it might be something slightly different than what it currently looks like the the equipment we have right now is you know it's Top Notch adequate
yeah well and it just one more followup I I'm 100% for looking at the contract but sometimes we see this idea of Contracting where we're not going to do any of the work it's okay to pick up
a shovel right we have staff and ashle this would be kind of a question is is that all part of Jeff's current job description is that written overall overall so that would still mean that like during the regular work
hours that would still be expected that he's going to clean up the basic small stuff but the contract would cover the the anything that's over an inch in snowfall or whatever the the building committee would would
select as the the preferred amount any more discussion no we just have to see where these numbers come in I'm not 100% so L but I guess we we won't know till we check right right you
know I uh the cleaning part of it you know if if somebody bids on that who who who Who's their who's their boss who tells them you're going to do this and that clean here and there oh this building get Point Contra same as what
we have here but I mean okay that but I mean like rad he he was helping Jeff up in that Courthouse with a lot of different stuff right well Carl and I talked before we knew Redford was retiring about a contract for
cleaning so this wasn't that conversation had started prior to knowing Radford was retiring but that contract for cleaning that we're talkinging talking about now that covers all of the county stuff no the buildings are still be separate then
okay so that contract for cleaning that what we're talking about is just the contract for cleaning for the courthouse that's it right that's it okay because the part for like this building was handed over to Western Prairie so that's not right that
contracts being held by them I think it's good to just verify that what what would it cost is it a substantial savings or is it same or is it that's good something different the bottom line is we still
need our snower Moval equipment up there a room and you know because if it snows during the day they got to stay on it so and we need redundancy and you know training you know Jeff isn't getting be here forever so at some point
you know the you know the ins and the outs of the building and you know some of the the processes that he does between all these buildings you know somebody's got to find that you know and know that you know that job right instead of coming in lne and trying to
pick up the pieces so I don't know I have mixed feelings about you know not heading toward more or replacing raford any more discussion we got a motion on the floor all in favor of the motion signify
saying I I I curious okay we have cannabis ordinance discussion all right um and the the Cannabis ordinance here uh was the the model ordinance that Horizon Public
Health had provided and they had added some information from some surrounding counties um Stevens County county in there po County um and then they highlighted some areas of
emphasis um there were some other questions that I had had for Angie yesterday morning morning how you guys doing good good yeah great morning
so I'll kind of start off with where I started with questions um and part of what I was looking at was the the very first was the ordinance shall be applicable to the legal boundaries in Grant County and then where it says the
insert City here and the Del delegated cannabis retail Authority for insert County here so my question was is we need those signatures from those cities prior to cre an ordinance but most of the
cities that I talked to were against just blindly going along with the County ordinance since it hadn't been written yet or hadn't had hadn't had a plan in place so that's where I asked Angie yesterday if there's some sort
of uh signature sheet or something that the the cities could either decide to sign into it or not into it um what I understand is that if the cities are not going to go go with their own with the County's ordinance they need to create their own
ordinance is that correct Ang or they can choose not to but then they don't have any local control and ocm would just allow them to um have registrations there as long as it meets the zoning of that
entity so if there's a if there's a 12,500 number sorry the population set on one dispensary correct then are you separating that out from the county saying the county can allow for because our population is less than
that and then can each City then have their own if their population obviously is below that to all five so cities can opt to do their own you're absolutely right so let's say Elbow Lake decides to not delegate to the county Elbow Lake
can have as many as they want or they could cap it at four or whatnot and let's say there's one or two or three or four all elow Lake the county wouldn't have to Grant anymore because there's already one in the county via Elbow Lake so then the the county wouldn't have to
really deal with the business registration that being said you still have to deal with the low potency hemp Edibles because you can't cap that um that would potentially then Grant County could end up with seven dispensaries well we could the 12,000
you have to allow one per 12,500 res we could have of we just have to allow one yes well do we have to allow one we have to have one for every 12,500 I'm getting at is Grant County
has the authority to adopt the ordinance under State Statute 342 does Grant County also have the authority not to adopt the ordinance allowing for GR operation you your as like count you'd
be required to have one yeah is saying that we have to have one this is State mandate yes so the language and the ordinance about the ordinance shall be applicable to Legal boundaries of Grant County is
that that it would govern Incorporated areas if they don't adopt an ordinance I'm not 100% sure on what that looks like if cities and townships don't adopt or delegate I I feel like I would refer to
yes top of your head there's a lot of uncleared things and they say refer to your local um attorney so I we have a couple questions actually for your interpretation um and then under 1.4 the
insert name of local government or designated official um would that be assumed that that would be the sheriff be in charge of compliance compliance well is there
talk about compliance checks you currently currently we do toac compliance checks obviously the kind of this thing is a whole new level is there specific training for these people whether it's
our offic or somebody else go and not in law enforcement to do the compliance checks is there specific training on how they perform these checks want to for so with these compliance checks it's age verification only we don't have control over the products if we suspect that if
we suspect that they're selling products that aren't allowable in state law we would have to have ocm come and check that so locally it's only age compliance yeah kind of stated like that there was a
question so did we answer the question no okay so my comment then to the question would be is if if law enforcement par department is enforcing generally the ordinances in the county then it would
more than likely this would fall under that would am I be correct on that John you think well we're responsible for enforcing the ordinances which the county and the city's adopt so yeah so then we have an
answer I mean right or wrong later on in here it says that it's the Sheriff's Office that's doing it so I mean if you're changing it here you got to go and change it later but the language also says the administration of the ordinance that doesn't make any sense
yes that next you know so if there is a you know gre's office is responsible for the administration of the Shoreland ordinance but if it gets to the point where we have to charge somebody criminally and they come to the two yeah
you can break those apart can't we Administration and en Horsemen like if somebody wants to submit an application I don't want to go to well it says later in here that the application would be delivered to the coordinator that's what I was going to say would an Administration be the
coordinator I mean later on when it talks about making the application that goes to the coordinator I think you just drop administration for example Stevens County kind of states the pro processing or the county auditor Treasurer is
responsible for processing registrations the Planning and Zoning is responsible for administration and enforcement except for compliance which is conducted by the sheriff's office so you could certainly split spit it out it's up to however you want that to look when I read through this the auditor treasure
seemed to be more checking to make sure it wasn't conflicting as far as zoning and maybe I read it wrong but that was zoning a we don't have zoning so
that's you get in the lake lake Within I alties but not out count so I I like Justin's idea we just take the word Administration out of this and the enforcement is what we're
talking about in one point and this is all feedback we still got to have here correct yeah yes I'm just we're looking for feedback so that we can make this a cleaner document going forward
um like they're these abuse and stuff that's that's going here and there's legislation that's coming down a bill introduced in the Minnesota s pile 2143 would give local governments the authority to ban marijuana businesses and retails within their jurisdiction so
that's coming from the state possibly so we might be ahead of ourselves here but we'll find that out there's a lot of changes that are potentially coming the ocm rules aren't even finalized yet um but we would anticipate after those get finalized we would start getting requests for registrations fairly soon
afterwards because the capped businesses will have a lottery in May and June but the nonap businesses could be processed right after ocm finalizes their rules so it's a little difficult trying to prepare for some of these things without those finalized rules and um I think a
lot of counties are just moving forward with we want something in place and if we have to adjust we'll adjust but we don't want it to be like the wild west and if we don't have anything no guard whales in place and we start getting those applications then so that's kind of just where a lot of um
the mindset is it's just getting something in place [Music] right so under uh 1-5 um item number two is under a Shoreland
ordinance it's it' be a conditional use permit um what when they're talking about manufacturing the assessor side of this would look at that this would be a commercial industrial property um it's
not listed as an agricultural prop or Agricultural Product so therefore if it's not agricultural it's commercial on a micro business or a meeso uh if there's a any of the businesses would be
commercial okay so even if it's a micro business it would still or a grow operation say that it's a 5 acre cannabis field um that would all be that 5 Acres would be commercial was an 80
acre field it would all be commercial the dwellings are commercial but the business might be an fcap it's some point right maybe it is it is not listed as an Agricultural Product so it would it would be commercial would not be agricultural USDA does not call an egg
product had this discuss USDA doesn't call Egg so that's really get so regardless of whether the file is schedule left does not mean that it's okay it's Agricultural and then three and four would require conditional use
permits through Environmental Services that's only in Lake unless you guys want try and do it across the county but that get into your countywide zoning thing so only L um then the other question I had under
section two was any state licensed cannabis retail business that sells to a customer or patient without valid retail registration shall incur a civil penalty of up to $2,000 for each violation my
question was is that daily is that like how many how many times can you get that same violation or if you get the vi $2,000 violation for being open when you don't have a license the following day can you get another one or is can you
just continue to operate because you've already got one $2,000 violation no it says sells to a customer or patient without up to $2,000 for each violation so if you sell to five people in an hour that's 10 grand up to 10
grand each time you sell somebody without a license it doesn't matter what day it is that's the way I read it I would not agree if you have the violation for already doing it once you do it again and I think the violation for the business with the
DAT I don't know that you compound the the the assess well if you sell alcohol to a minor at 1:00 and you sell to another one at 2 o00 that's another violation yeah they independent violation crime
yeah okay I'm wrong I mean yeah that's true yep you know store you know on Saturday of flight Fest if they sell a 16-year-old at 9:00 in the morning are they good for the rest of the day
fre no get that one out of the way Contin I think that just needs some more clarification but Justin is it's somewhere down the line here these are all civil violation yeah who determines
that yeah but but that but is there going to be there's got to be laws on the books criminal too right I imagine that there's a violation section that you know any violation of its ordinance constitutes a misdemeanor and it's punishable according to I seen the word
misdemeanor in there some did we talked about a fee SCH or up it's up two so when's that determined and by who so the the the fee schedule will be
determined by county so the point is we'll address the V schedule later we would need to identify what fees like even I don't know what the fees are so that's where I would need Horizon public health help in figuring
out what are the different fees that we should be even applying here correct me if I'm wrong but there's very specific registration fees like there you can't go over this amount it's half initial registration for Renewal or they have outlined very
specific registration fees I'm not sure about find would you happen to know about fines I don't think they've really outlined um what the fines are as of right now um this section that we've been discussing is just basically if they're
selling without that registration without coming to us first um and 2,000 is what the state set as a maximum it's here later that yeah and this is what a lot of our counties are doing um Stevens
County has that section in their work for work in their so I got a question what about these off premises licenses that the that the drives are going to get from the state and how's that going to affect here if they run around with Viking
Library big Vans you know and sell off premises how's that fit us we do have temporary license um requirements um in this ordinance as well and you can also have a require it to be in a non-movable
place of business so you you can require it not to be in a van it has to be in a storefront um and I believe we have some of that language in place here so that it wouldn't have to be in like a food truck type business driving around so we can eliminate that being an ordinance
okay most of the Cannabis is sold out of Vans they're just not licensed right so when you get down to 2.54 and 2.55 you have a civil penalty which may not exceed $2,000 but then you have an administrative penalty which lists for
the first time you violate the ordinance at $600 a th000 for the second time in 36 months $2,000 for a third time within a 48 Monon period are they I realize that color means it's somebody else's ordinance is that what they're calling
it administrative what they've adopted in their civil penalties talking a boiler plate I mean so now we've got an outline of what someone else is doing so we say up to 2,000 that's what they mean is you don't have to go to 2,000 immediately you can progress
your that's crazy to let someone operate for four years and give them some administrative penalties is crazy that that section got to be overhauled completely that makes no sense that 2.55 section is more talking um compliant
checks compliance checks than um that Administration selling with registration like I said should not be able to continue business for 48 months to continue to violate well this ordinance kind of throws El Lake out of the mix because we
got a church on Main Street so by 00 ft of a church so I I did do a buffer around what would qualify so essentially the 500 ft on Main Street would be
from the city building and um the like Hans House the gas station you'd be able to have a business there going out the other direction um You' be able to go down to it about but then you get into the thousand foot
of the school you get a about to the motel and you wouldn't be able to do anything that direction to the east if your ORD applies to the corporate of away right but they could have their own
ordinance that would change that right because Shor land ordinance in elb Lake is the El Lake City Shoreland not the gr County we do we do assist them we see it it's all
their so is there minimums or could like El have shorter smaller set setbacks you can adjust your setbacks to what fits right for you for example the city not the county the city yep if the
city decides not to delegate to the county the city could establish their own setbacks they could have 100 foot from a church they could okay so then or they set up a district they set they could set up a district so that it would be you know Main Street would be
allowable but no other area so 2.1 where are we at what are we doing so that would be we need we need a fe schedule or what what are the
actual fees that we could charge and then we need to figure up so that would be where we need to figure out what the violations would be so would that be but the compliance check would be the age verification one of the other things
that would be fines would be hours of operation would they be packaging fines would they be that's a state thing isn't it don't they come in for the compliance version of that potency and they should I don't
know what the frequency of that looks like and I don't know if it's only if someone's reported as doing things unlawfully so we don't know what that looks like yet but yeah it would the state would be in charge of that yeah so is a civil penalty different than administrative penalty are those concurrent or
consecutive I want to say they're the same um that's just what I believe is Stevens County green Stevens County decided to call them administra penalties so that you're referring to 2.1 uh
2.5 we haven't gotten an answer in 2.1 and I know that was my fault I went down there as an example we're doing a lot of jumping around Mr chair we gota we want to get out of here today1 is what we're we're referencing is is a civil penalty is are
the Civil penalties applied by Grant County or they applied by the state or so yeah this Li this end this business is selling without a license and it's up to a 2000 I mean are
they not drug dealing at that point Justin do we not do we even need to worry about this that's a drug de well it depends how much they're selling well just the degree of being a drug dealer I mean if they do not have a license I mean if they don't have a
license they're not covered under any of this are they right you know I you know there's all sorts of people who can just spense fanol in our country right I meanes 2.1 is really moot to me because
if you don't have that registration you're a drug deal you're not aol's inomine they can you know you can if you have a prescription and you are a licensed pharmacist you can dispense after money you know so maybe where I think that could
come into play most frequently is the low Psy hemp Edibles there's beverages that have under that3 THC in them um and right now they have to register through the state and that's being sold right now you have multiple businesses in Grant County um we nobody asked us about
that so that's their problem and so in the fall we will be required locally to register those but if let's say some restaurant or bar would want to start selling them without getting this registration that's where that fee would come in well no they'd be dealing drugs
they don't have a license to do it right but that's a scenario that becomes a criminal matter as far as I'm you know if you're dealing drugs without a license if someone wants to do business without the proper registration why don't we just take penalty of $22,000
and then later on other stuff would be addressed just call it $2,000 otherwise it shouldn't be subjective because then we're about to make decisions no I agree that it shouldn't be subjective and I think what Stevens County did wasn't subjective either you
know they go you know it's going to be this much then that much then that much then back you just want to be $2,000 p but this this relates to the registration not to selling to a minor
correct yes so for the registration piece couldn't it just be $2,000 yeah I think so so you take out the up two and it's just if you're doing that with correct and that's why I highlighted it in yellow just because you guys have the authority to set that
no it makes it strong enough where they're not going to try to so I would say that so it applies to anyone who is a state licensed business that doesn't have a Grant
County retail registration that's what it appli right so you got state license but you didn't get registered in the county it's $2,000 a day for for each customer to who they sell oh we have 2.1 on way
all right uh 2.2 um there needs to be a space between County shall certify and then the the last sentence there is how do we verify that they are they comply with
the state fire code and building code so my recommendation was uh the business shall certify to the county they meet buyer code and commercial building code uh requirements and that would be
at the business's expense so they would need to certifi they have a company certify that they are fire code compliant and that they are also building code compliant um the other issue that I saw
with this is that there's not a permanent like would this apply only to a permanent structure a fix to a fix to the land so that because otherwise in this verbiage it looks like you could have a building
anywhere or if it's it could still be a a business in the trailer because it could still meet fire code and it could still meet the building code so could we require that this would be a permanent structure fix the land so that it's not
a mobile business I believe later in this draft it does say it must be a brick and morar um place of business they reference uh yeah okay I think the plat number they
reference that later in here so that it's one area and far as I know counties are not licensed to are not able to license mobile facilities that's a state thing that would license a mobile facility counties aren't allowed to so so my issue is that
if we're only going to allow one for 12,000 500 but a mobile business who we have no control over can come and operate on anywhere we at want Jeff backer Jord it's it's one of
those things that that's if we're not like that's why I feel we need to force them that if you're going to sell here you got to get license to the county or a city actually both I would say both that's the
loophole around getting through this one piece of Y ordinance is that you just have a mobile business like a snap on truck or any of that and there's nothing we can do about that no so we're addressing fire code
and building code but we don't have ordinances that in is there fire and building code that's separate for cannabis other than just business I would say that if they meet the state fire
code the state fire code would also include cannabis businesses but I'm wondering does every business in our County meet State Fire C or are we opening up a can of wor we then have to register every business in our count we don't
register anybody but the by by requiring them to submit proof that they meet it would take it out of our hands of not having to go hire a fire inspector or to
hire inspector sprinkler system I think I believe Justin correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the City of Lake adopt the state building codes they would need to install it before I have check okay that's my point is is so then we're saying this person that they want to
have canabus you got to inst install a fire suppression system well that probably next them they're going we can't afford that I'm not saying spad the cold that what we're saying that's what this
says is that what we want to say I don't under prohibited act under section 4 C it does say a movable place of business so that's prohibited only fixed location businesses may sell approved products and a Volcan products so that's
in here under prohibited right that's why I I didn't like that last sentence because it would mean that we would have to ensure that they comply with State Fire code and building code
and we don't have anybody in the county who does Building Inspections so that's why I wouldn't want to leave that sentence in there because I don't want to go hire building inspector
for we this is all being written for one company in Grant County take it out of there make it they've got to have a third party certified they well in 2.2 in general um the whole compliance check before retail
registration um that is optional you can just take that whole part out um if you don't want to do those complies or checks so if that's all optional who's going to go and verify all this otherwise even they wouldn't they wouldn't have to um
necessarily be up to the state fire code or building code before you register there so I mean realistically the only thing we would in my opinion the only we would need there is if they're in Shoreland then then we've got ordinances they got to follow if they're in
sheline otherwise if there in a city that's the city issue so the one other issue is prior to issuance of cannabis retail business registration Grant County shall conduct a primary compliance check who is that
person who Grant County who's doing the compliance check that the coordinator is that plan management is that well we're saying we don't have to have that in there at all so Grant County is not going to verify that you or a th000 fet from the school 500
ft from the church well that'd be under Administration which we earlier we talked about being the coordinator that's wouldn't be enforcement they'd be admin so what some other counties are doing that have zoning and like I said I we're not experts on zoning by any means
so you your counting is going to look different but what that looks like is ocm once they get a license application at the state level they reach out to the county most counties it's going to be their land and resource their zoning department and then the zoning department will confirm yes this meets
that condition or that use Zone um and then they check against anything else that they have in their ordinance and then they'll let ocm yes this would be an approved place of business and then that individual once they get that pre-approval license from ocm would apply for a local registration so if
it's just meeting our setback you can do that can't you read somebody comes says partial number this that meets our setbacks of school Church whatever cat there where am I measuring from is it from the doorstep is it from paral boundary is it from
[Music] property we can deal with that if and when we have the one application me all that you whoever is you're going to have admin that's admin and then you have your enforcement no but you're
going to have to sign off on if it's not ins make sure I will not have you're GNA have to sign off that Z doesn't f yep yeah I agree or look at school setbacks look at all that all our school Dam city limits my doesn't apply so you
talk all the cities have to sign up I would be the if the City's delegate toward the county then the county would be City the second City's got if the city takes this over then that's their
bone the 2.2 the second paragraph We should take out because if somebody's doing business and all of a sudden they want to do cannabis and they got to totally redo their store that's not our intent because I'm guessing there's fire
code that may be out here in Rural America that isn't totally up to spit we should not force them down that path or if you really cared about the building code you would adopt it for the county let's take it out yes so I think we take the second
paragraph out and let the first one we adding a new business to new building to Grant County and helping the overall tax base right so you just end that complies with loal Z zoning ordinances period
and I we would recommend just confirming that that piece is optional um this was in the model ordinance language and so I would just recommend ensuring that that piece is optional before you remove it the second
paragraph that 2.2 yeah so verifying that we can remove in correct do I verify for that um you can try contacting ocm
try but I believe preliminary um compliance checks were optional I believe there's some of those guidance um things that it is option so you guys are doing this for a number of counties so you probably need to know that answer that you could respond to us then yes I
could definitely look as well and like I said if it's not cuton like black and white it would be up to your attorney to figure out so if you cut the entirety of the second paragraph in 2.2 and statute
required verification from the local governing body of compliance with the local Z zoning ordinance if it's statutory you have to do it regardless of what ordinance you want all ordinances or
just the Z you all there and then can I just clarification if that's something you're wanting our office to do or not and it's going to happen you can figure it out if it happens no it's not
so to me it's not one time you're going to have everybody who calls about it that's we're going to have to walk them through that every time it's not one it's one time to approve but say you get 510 many people call ask we already had guys asked a couple months ago about it well and one thing to note is if you
choose one that's for the higher py THC you will look later in the fall so we have a little bit more timeline for this you're going to have more low Pony hemp edible requests and we can't cap those I think there's already four or six in Grant County so we know we'll at least have four or six low PES have edable
registrations that will have to do this process with the statute 342 um States before issuing a retail registration the local unit of government May conduct a preliminary compliance check to ensure that Canabis businesses or hemp businesses are in compliance with
applicable operation requirements May is the big word that's what that's what it makes it sounds like sound like um but once again it's always so sooner or later these two are going to get married low pocy and I Hopey at some point right get they're
going to get there yeah well py will come to us in the fall is what the timeline were told right so is that the the wishes of the board then would be to to get rid of 2.2 well second paragraph you added something no Justin
was that for the second paragraph or no just take out the second paragraph I don't think I suggested that I just thought I suggested applying with local zoning or because if you're going to get challenged on this it's going to be how
you're treating them differently than other ones just point following what statute says so if you're you know if this is the only business that you require to verify compliance with State Fire code and building code why
are you singly in them out different if it's not genuinely related to the underlying purpose of the business yes if you keep that first paragraph in there too you guys probably would have to elect an official to go to
ensure that compliance with other local ordinances as well so it might be better just to cut the whole thing if that is I wouldn't recommend that I think if if ocm sends you something and no one
approves it then they could be on Shoreline or they could be on close to a school you need that you you need that local approval that yep you are meeting the setbacks and the things so I wouldn't cut the first paragraph who would the board want to
point to that there we go coordinator assessor read I'm not against doing it I just want to know what you want no I would put it on the coordinator and if she
needs you know Land Management to help then land Management's going to help you know getting back to the original design of the coordinators the funnel and re put down the questions you have so that they can be answered when we get into this so like from where to where so
you know if you're going assume you're going to be deciding whether or not it's so right is it from front door to front door is it parcel to parcel write those down so those all we got to do is say this this is what we're yeah and I and I
person I want my best specific which part a plot because you say Okay 500 vi from these things but be specific this part this these are part of this is yes we'll have to make a decision as of to yes coordinator after Grand I talked to
Carl and and that's the other part is when we look at with the Environmental Center is that if we're going to talk parcel when all the kids are out playing in that whole Big Field out there you want a business within a th000 feet of
that which is basically going to take out majority of er city of the thousand people all property all what do you want but Carl if if they want to have their own ordinance that shortens it up they can so if they don't like ours they can
do their own and they can make it two but I don't determine where the school does any educational if it's their school's property it's their it's a school I mean I don't tell them they have to be in that building to do educational stuff right they can go
anywhere on their W go anywhere but if if they don't like our rules then they can do their own but this we this isn't necessarily A Carl thing but I want the board to say if they disagree is we're not tailoring this for
a city if we're not they want to see what the County's ordinance looks like before they decide no we have to know if you're in your out if you want your own that's fine then we're going to design it without you you we're not making this and then this city comes back and oh no I want
you to change this and that City says you're changing that they can do their own they're in or they're out I agree I assume the cities don't want to see a pretty good almost final draft before they say in out no that no
they're iner their out because otherwise they're going to come back and say we want to change this or we want to you can do your own we're fine with that but what he's saying they should get to look at this to make the decision we're not going to change but they might do their own but but if there's a city that comes
then now we've got to change because they've got their own we don't have to change it they can they'll do their own wa right I'm not sure what you're saying okay I mean if it says a th000 fet and Barrett wants to go to 200 that
let them go to 200 that's on the city council's then am I or am I wrong I one of interpreting this if they delegate to the county they they follow everything that the county has but if they want to do their own and
change the setback they can't right then they would have to register local like within their own City and all of that so they would have their own ordinance yeah that is a possibility right they are a political subdivision control the let's say let's say Kensington wants to
do their own they have a they ended up getting the first application Kensington has one you guys wouldn't have to have one then well kensington's in Douglas County but sorry yeah but what you're saying Andre that the uh all the towns in Grand
County they could adopt this their own ordinance and have their own shop they could so we could have townships so we could have 16 townships in the seven towns we could have that many well you have that many then you don't
need one you could have 400 yeah but but yeah this is the umbrella of road I think what is asking for is that you know if any part of the partial boundary is within X number feet of the partial boundary of any of
these that doesn't meet the setb yes instead of going I just found a clear definition what that if it's whatever we're getting to that part where it list that's what I want I want clear a
to so 2.3 I would want to know is what we can charge for fee schedule because I believe Grant County would state that our fee schedule will be for registration it would be half of
the State registration fee up to $500 so then that way we are getting that full amount so so if we could get a listing of all of the registrations for these
businesses so that we can get them put into our B schedule yeah we can pull that from the with your website and yep so then that's what update that part um section D of there this is kind
of a yes or no uh the background checks my question is is are they required to do a background check before they can get a license mean the people applying for a license so the the people who are align or applying for a cannabis business is
there a background check from the state that's done or is this a redundant background check that we may or may not need to even do so the highlighted sections in Gray this came from tra travers's draft they
also wanted the most strict um we put it in gr because we're unsure if it aligns with what you can do um I think they're still figuring that out with their County attorney um but knowing what we heard last time is um the board wanted like script protocols
and so we just put that as this is something another county is considering um I wouldn't necessarily recommend that you have it or not recommend that you have it I'm unsure of if they can have it that's why it's highlighted in Gray it's just an example of what another county is considering
well that's not my well my question is does the state require a background check toate is they do a background check pretty sure so this would be a redundant thing that Greg County would be doing is doing
another background well the other side of that though is if it it says anybody with greater than 5% ownership so if have two people and one has 51% are they only doing the background check on one and not the other I would read that
anyone who has more than PR well that's what it says here but I mean the state are they doing it on anybody or is it just the one name is on the I don't know what the application like I would say let's just get more information on that
did we agree that the state is going to do backup is that a requirement I'm not I haven't looked at that i' be surprised if they don't well it' be yeah my other question of if we do a
background check are there certain things in their background check that are going to exclude them from us granting the application to thement or are we just doing a background check and saying yep they have a felony by the way here's your yep they
have a background we're yep they have a background like to me this needs if we're going to do background checks we need x y and z excludes you from an application appr appliation before yes I
think my opinion is let's find out if the state is doing a background check on everybody we don't need to if they're not okay let's do one and then we'll lay out that criteria but to me if you have a familyy you shouldn't be qualified this that and that's why that 2.32 application
submitt that last Roman numeral any additional information that the Count's being necessary um so that would be that background check if it doesn't come back that's when you could turn down that do you have to have a background
check to get an alcohol license and tobacco that's a yes Justin yeah so if you need it for that you ran them didn't you yeah yep for the liquor store y yeah so it should be and so what is it if you have a family can you have a liquor
license in Grant County I don't think so no the office May by rule which probably hav been drafted yet well they don't have the office complets including but not limited to convictions of non-cannabis controll
substance crimes in the first or second degree so three four and five are all good uh human trafficking labor trafficking proger Financial crime disqualify an individual that's the rule under
ocm well that is the rule making authorization must spers have should be consistent office May set aside a disqualification under subdivision 2 the office finds
that the person has submitted sufficient information to demonstrate that the person does not POS a risk of any person served by the applicant really didn't mean to be a drug dealer there are civil and Regulatory offens but to me it sounds like ocm is doing
background checks I have this would be a red well they may revoke a license for these things if they want to but if they don't want to they can say it's okay you go right ahead and they may set it aside
yeah so if you want to have that control to say that you know somebody who was dealing drugs in class one or two shouldn't be operating a business here we're going to have to do it ourselves so we may never see that
report and they may just say well yeah but you didn't mean to so we're going to set it aside is it expensive Dwight you know to do a background flip is what is it expensive to do a background no no you just put it on your fees it's not
expensive you can have a fee schedule on with your application and you got to pay for your background checks you just have to have a reason and it but we should do them ourselves like Troy said we may not see the stes
report every year you're doing that because your license expires to 31st of every year right well you can say that you do it upon initial you can do it every year that's fine but at least initially what you guys wanted to they're pay the
registration fee and whatever other fees they read do you want this to be a fouryear cycle because things change over time we got they got to renew the license every year they want to renew their license but are you going to require them to do a background check
every year or do you say that every four years we're going to run a background check on you what do we do on alcohol well a gun permits it's every five years and and on purchase P purchase to acquire
application to acquire that's every year you you fill that out how about alcohol uh I I don't know about that one that's annual yeah probably because it's an annual deal so if it's annual for
alcohol then should be annual for can I think that's consistent but that is a state license so that's up to them no we're saying we're going to do it ourselves our going to be up to
us yeah but again once we approve one it's one yeah right and and if each city has want that's up for their ordinance to cover that's their problem that's their problem yep um and then at the bottom of that page um and this is just something I clarified with Angie so if any
failures of the section must be reported to the office of cannabis management so Horizon public health will inform the gr County Sheriff's office or the gr County Sheriff's Office will inform Horizon public health and Horizon public health will inform ocm so that's just are you
on two point what uh well that's 2.3 or 2.3.4 that's the bottom oh yeah the other thing I had Jared do is add page numbers to these as well so that's just the only other
change so Andre is this ordinance that we're looking at kind of a combination of Steven it is anything that's not highlighted is going to be in the model Ordnance that ocm released for any and
County City to use as a basis and then they could edit from there so um the green is Stevens County the pink is Pulp County the gray was coming from Traverse County which hasn't been finalized so we don't know if it's if their attorney was able to you know check that it was in
compliance with ocm rules and and whatnot and so we Jared and I are not attorneys we are not you know we want to say any of our recommendations we would want to uh have you through your attorney just to ensure that it makes
sense for Grant County um but these are the things that we're seeing from the local public health law Center these are things that we're seeing from other counties that have already passed um so we're just trying to help support you guys knowing that um Carl is doing a lot of different things right now so we wanted to help put together a
draft we appreciate that we keep saying what we want right we only have to allow one but could the county approve a second one right we just have to open they need all these things but could the county say hey
somebody else needs all of these and say oh this is a good idea or is fine approve a second one or limited to just that one can we turn a second application down that's mean if somebody appes no sorry we already have one correct
correct yeah they call oh I want to check sorry I don't have any info for you because we already have our one for the year try again or do I have to count shall limit the number of cannabis real retail businesses to one
period you know although what section that 2.6 I would delete the second paragraph what paragraph if the county of Grant has one active cannabis retail business
registration for every 12,500 residents Grant County shall not be required to register additional state license so so it doesn't re the door open it does leave the door open yeah so remove it so it doesn't
yeah one thing that uh ocam does recommend is that if you are capping so let's say we have one for the 12,500 they would say you should put your process for selecting one so you get two applications on the same day how are you going to select out of the two
just so that it's in ordinance and you're not you know showing favoritism or anything is it first come first serve is it a lottery system so they do recommend putting some kind of language like that in here as well once again just individual City so there can be more than one if
the city adopts an ordinance themselves correct this just applies for could have fa they were right and if the first application is to a city that hasn't delegated to the county the county doesn't have to do any on their own but if they delegate it we got to
have exactly yeah so there any counties that are getting into the Cannabis business I any municipalities none none nobody wants to be that first to test out the waters imagine that so go back to 2.6 is if there were the situation
where we have three applicants in Grant County we're only going to approve one one lives in like would we want to say that it must they must reside in gr County would be you know applicant number one do we want this to be a local person do we want this to
be you know a Minnesota resident do we want or can it be you know XYZ Corporation came in and brought in an application and you know they're they're based out of Colorado like would we rather this be
the Grant County person or would we rather have this open up to a big Corporation how like how would what would your [Music] preferential who would you prefer when we have people app for a job in Grant
County can we ask them to live in the county no but this is for your applic just demand except as it relates to people who have respon so can we do a preferential
system where yes you have three applicants one of them is an individual that lives in Grant County where they would get more preference than the large corporation from out of state I don't like we got to get less
subjective if they're in the city they can go through the city they what then they could appeal to the city council think the city councils are going to really want to handle any of this you know could you say you know
preference would go to Grant County residents secondary would be veterans First Responders EMS like I don't don't know I don't I'd say leave it alone I would say how would you pick
Cates lottery numbers one two three you knowem you know all license received with or all applications receiv the first two weeks following adoption of the ordinance you know you would
determine whether or not that whether they're capable for registration um and then they'd go into hand totally Lottery no subjetive much time frame to get it up and running yeah then they got a year to get it up and running and if they don't
don't do anything with that license then then it transposes into the next Lottery system how would that work that's how is roll people understand lotteries because the local guy who
applies who may not want him either do all the things the right way maybe a better not sure doing get register you know I had this you know it was a different it was a zoning ordinance issue in Stevens County
after Aon left but you know some big farm that has a big Dairy wanted to inject methane into the ground while I was helping the big farm there's many cows being milk I heard all of this you know today is there
was you know 50 years ago but there's 3% of the dairies and this company was from New York all of which did not interplay into the analysis that the board should have considered when determining whether or
not they were eligible for a conditional use permit and I don't want to get you guys in that situation where you know so if we have you know a guy who you know a Grant County resident who has a history in the business because he has a third degree
controlled substance crime which doesn't disqualify him do we absolutely want to give him the preference you know I think it's kind of like a union seniority you know if you're qualified your name goes in the
Hat we pick because I'm not familiar of any preferences that because I think yeah I think you're right that's what they're doing at the state and they got sued about that whole process in the beginning
yeah all things sounds good to me Lottery say well we're just the stagein so Angie I got a question for you okay so like in the other counties none of the cities have uh that you know
of showed interest in moris did who did Morris oh Morris did okay Alexandria so are you talking about a municipality or their own ordinance uh I'm talking about like uh like the towns
in Grant you know I don't know if anybody if they want to get involved with this but there is other towns that are involved making their own ordinances yeah so the city of Alexandria has their own and they're not going to have a cap but Douglas County is going to have a cap of likely four okay and so Douglas
County's like Alexander is probably going to get them all and we won't have to deal at all with it until the low points you have come right um Stevens County the majority of cities and townships are delegating to the county P County um not 100% sure but I think a
lot are delegating delas County they're putting a deadline so they're asking their cities and townships to have a resolution to delegate um I think sometime by the end of March so it gives their cities and counties um Dave their land and resource director is going to
be going to their um city and Township association meeting this month to kind of talk about this is what we as a county are doing if you're interested we would like you to delegate by the end of March and so I think every County's approaching it a little bit
differ um I'm not sure I haven't heard on what cities and townships in Grant County are interested in doing but it might be a good opportunity to start you know kind of asking around so is Douglas County taking the position that there shall be for allowed within the county
and if there are Po in Alexandria then they will not issue fur TR yeah based on the 12,500 so I think we should specify that you know you know it's it's one per
12,000 in the county you know inclusive of any of those that are licensed under uh Municipal ordinance Grand County shall have one license if it's somebody else does it that's great we're
done what section did that get put in there 2 yes that'd be a good ER it's already probably review this um 2.55 had been brought up earlier about four chances
at uh different fees or compliance is that something that would want to continue or would that be something that you give them a strike and then after one strike it happen the second time you're out I know that was something that brought up to me
yesterday or are there different opinions on that I got you should not be able to continue to have 48 months wor strikes I but also know you should have
more than have one I mean you should one in your done they would make sense I think but what the right number is I guess that's the point of discussion I would I would what do they do for sell alol selling the miners how many times
before they aren't licensed anymore that would replicate the same if that's what you're going to do of the ordinance why not do that and all them consistent then just take suspension replication out because everything ever
Happ you know but the county only has one LIC issue is that a full is it 32 or is it the same no it's for the golf course I thought that was a beer and
wine setup license talk no I'll have it J in to so when I read this K I don't read that it's there's no additional penalty so let's say a third offense is $2,000 in 36 months that doesn't mean that after
your second one in a year you didn't have a 30-day suspension this is just saying okay you served your 30-day suspension you got your license back now this is the third one in 36 months you did it again that doesn't mean on top of that fine there's not an additional 30
609 whatever that suspension is does it say a suspension in here or well if you read down farther on a third violation if the same location within 48 months after an initial violation well if you went there on Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday and
each day they have violation there's your four and 48 months you call but I mean if you read B it says you can EST you know VI for violation 30day suspension you may have had that in there too you know the county will suspend the retail registration of any
retail registered retail establishment for 30 days for violation of this ordinance or the business poses an immediate threat to the health safety or health or safety of the
public so one that means the way I read it is if well what is that statute e does the statute have a appeal process um so in ocm language if the if there's a clear and eminent you can shut
it down and then ocm would have a certain amount of time to come and ocm can decide to open it up or to allow it to remain closed that's language that I'm familiar with I'm not sure about other language but I think we should see if we
can do you know registration suspension if you get a second one within 24 months and we suspend for 30 days a third within 36 months it' be 90 days and after a fourth one in four years you're just done we'll issue somebody else the license so you were managing the equity if you
had three young employees each of whom sold a pack of cigarettes to someone who is underage would you want your business shut down no they find him $75 is what they did because it happened plus the
company but I would want the bu shut down is you know so you have to look at the circumstances would be something to require you know part of our ordinance would read
that 100% of identification checks were required so if you're 85 years old and going to go get some cannabis they're still going to require your license or an ID a government issued ID could that
be a requirement of the ordinance so you got to have an ID to walk in there period you got to have an ID period I think it's more practical to address it on the sales side I mean if B goes in and wants to buy something he's
old enough should yeah Dwight sent in there by the by the sheriff's office is a decoy they don't check his idea are we going to pay them for that Rel more but that we go make you look like
you were in high school yeah so what are we figure I mean what how would you like me to and this is just uh Steven County's recommendation no this is to me if if you get caught the one
time there should be a penalty if you get caught a second time it should be 30-day suspension it's the one St Rule and and every's got to be 21 to be in the
building and every suspension after that or violation would F eventually the owner of the business is going to get tired they losing his license for 30 days and it'll fix this problem or her problem but 30 days is not
forever but it's long enough to have an impact it's your recommendation will be the first or be a fine or you are you fine with the $600 the second would be a fine plus 30 days uh closing visit down third would be a fine plus 90 days of closing the
business down and fourth would be a fine in the loss of license or registration I don't think we should I think don't think should LIC away you don't think ever
should take the license away I don't know so if there is a violation you know one we may suspend under statute regardless of how many times we may suspend the retail registration of the Cannabis B business
or hemp business the local unit of government must immediately notify the office of the suspension and shall includ a description of the grounds the office shall review the suspension and made order reinstatement
so they can say he didn't have enough to spend or may take any action described I don't any of you sat on the negotiations committee with me know that you know when the state does something like adopts a two-page statute that governs
safe and safety in sit time and then goes ahead and changes it every year that I don't like to include the language I like to just reference the statute you know so you can correct me if I'm wrong but I think that the
language that Stevens County may have imposed applies more to subp paragraph a giving an orderly you know here's how we're going to find them
for violations so it's not arbitrary or it's not discretionary on anybody you know if you have one there's 600 bucks if you get a second violation you know here's a th000 bucks and then we can just you know deal with
[Music] suspensions as you know provided by Statute can we make for all of this a schedule that's so it's not in the ordinance so that if we have a a fine
schedule or a suspension schedule and things change we don't have to go back and change the old whole ordinance we just changed that schedule right so we just reference appendix AB whatever so then we can say we're doing the 30 days
and all of a sudden that's not sufficient we need to do more we change that rather than go back and do the whole ordinance I would not because then you change your appendixes that's part the so you need to republish so you need
to say c b schedule whatever you call it right because you adopt a resolution for your fee schedule first meeting of every year right yeah whatever we have to call that so basically cross out all of the green and just
put administrative penly CP schedule you know in that license may be um suspended as provided for under statute every labor contract has you
know discipline shall be you know you can break a work Rule and you're not going to get fired you can break a lot of break break a lot of work rules and you're not going to get fired but you can break one and you can get fired you
know so if you just have that a violation as a fine for the first one you know and it was an egregious violation are you opening it up to somebody to say my first one I get 600 bucks I don't
care if you think it's really bad but you know I think you don't hand C let's say you Carl and Justin should work together get that language um section three uh Reed's
recommendation was to set the 3.1 was instead of minimum buffer requirements it should be minimum setback requirements uh buffer references the buffer lack so I think it's just confusing little flashback there yeah all other you been
cut back so um and then my recommendation again this is to to read would be that we reference that as the the paral boundary of the school Park uh playground at atic
field um one of my other additions was if the board would want to include a hospital or a clinic is that would that be allowed is to add a hospital clinic I'm not aware of other counties that are doing that but that's not to say that it
might not be allowed what's a residential treatment center facility re okay reference that so Carl can I when we talk about our setbacks the distances can we put that in the definitions that that's measured from
partial line to partial line then it's clear that that's how we're measuring our setback yes that's how I would kind of word it so with school would we School parcel because when I look at a school I say when they go up for
recess they use the whole part they use the whole thing do you want a I mean if you look at be school a th feet you might still be on school property in some places
um and with respect to church is that you know I'm confused why that would be in there huh I'm confused why that would be in there is that a place for children con well but is that a it's not a school if it's if it's a place where children are
congregating without adult I mean that would be a school yeah I believe Pope just included that in there is that's not required by Church defined as any parcel which has a religious classification for tax
purpose I would say take church out and take the other cannabis retail business out that cannabis other cannabis retail I suppose says retail there um that would come into play from low potency HBL to that one
registered canvas business so that would just be an additional restriction so for example the city of Alexandria doesn't have a c but they do say that you have to be a th000 feet apart from each other just so you don't have like five right next to each other but if you
if you take this let's take the case of the city of Barrett you got to be a th000 feet from the school you go to the other side of the railroad tracks you got to be 500t from a park to baseball field and you got to be 500 feet from another business that can can this
retail business so a Tavern there's nowhere left and you're 100% right you can't Zone it out completely but I mean that but once again no that would be probably within 500 ft and that wind up
in Shoreline still shorel yeah I know you're going to have it in L Township there's room right between the two hog bars yeah so I'll take out the hospital and Clinic then too
but so it would be we we leave the the purple section there is that correct and I'll add parcel so th000 feet from a school 500 ft from a daycare 500 feet from our Residential Treatment Facility again we don't have any of those 500 ft from an traction with a public park that
is regularly used by miners putting playround or Athletic Field put public park public park or public I don't want to prove if it's regularly used by minors right should I take County Park as well to include nor park or not public
park yeah talking I don't think putting a business up right out there anyway no but they want to take that gamble let them take the Gamble that's not our have we addressed the five mature
plants in a personal setting yet in the park somebody's growing it in the park somewhere and you can't see it but it's there huh well who knows you know what I mean no no I want to know somebody's
growing something in a public park I don't know wouldn't that be the responsibility of that city or county or I mean knows what they do down 3.2 zoning and land use I looked at just getting rid of that whole piece
since we don't have zoning yeah I know that was something I just threw in there um just because I didn't know exactly what your guys or has or just reference of Shoreland ordinance and Carl you asked me about um you know this ordinance talks largely
about retail there's other language around non retail so like the cultivation manufacturing processing in Douglas's draft for their zoning they do have language around
um space to Residence residential um occupied residences and things like that I can send you this language I don't know how it would relate to to Grant County with not having countywide zoning but there could be potten things that maybe you could
put in some I don't know if it would be an ordinance but other language around your zoning that could address some of that cultivation manufacturing processing that you had questions about so I'll send you what that draft is yeah um hours of operation there's two
different versions of hours of operation are there any recommendations or do we limit alcohol sales of ours yeah I'll sale something to 10 off sale can start at 10: something
to 10 I don't know what to start done at 10 at night it's done at 10: but I don't remember what well i' SE I guess I've seen somebody picking up a traveler the one day it was about 8:00 in the morning so it must
be latitude in that La I I'm just saying me it should be consistent with off sale suus to me is for discussion do we let alcohol fail buy Al oh that was a huge thing the legislature that's what they got done
one year suay oh don't tell me you don't buy it outside 8 to 10 we're acting like Road Scholars trying to play the same well everybody else is just acting
bu okay so eight seven days a week what you said AG to 10 yeah um the child resistant packaging I think that makes sense the you can't sell it out of a vending
machine um that all made sense to me don't at any other change changes um over to section four temporary cannabis events uh the way this piece is written and kind of after
talking to Angie basically you can have a pamphlet get together because this all restricts everything out so much that you can't sell you can't share you can't give out uh samples
um is that the the level of we no public use there there would be no public use so this just information basically this would be an [Music] informational event my other question is
is where it says auditor would you like me to put coordinator in there or what number where uh well this would be 411 license required a license or permit is required to be issued and approved by Grant County auditor treasure or should
that State the coordinator or would that be if we're not going to permit a sale why don't we just say this is temporary cannabis events um temporary events are a
licensed type and you can't outright Outlaw any license type oh okay that's a state thing so the collect the feed so the treasurer should be involved and the coordinator that's
well you mean well it would be the auditor okay for whoever I but if you're going to be doing these events should it be the auditor or should it be the coordinator coordinator coordinator
that's that's what I anywhere that it just says auditor I would remove and put a coordinator and then over on section c there where says Grant County Planning and Zoning or Environmental Services Reed and I kind of agreed maybe
that should just be stricken from there it doesn't need to be in there at all which what part in uh so C over on page 11 that middle paragraph right after County auditor
treasure Grant County planning and zoning that should just be stricken out of there no ST game temporary pop thing the bucker requirements do they that's what I don't they're just not doing any
business they're just adding out business cards what we're saying in that section is you can't use it you can't sell it you can't do all these things with it but I can set up a table with all my promotional item no sale of approved cannabis products are allowed at temporary
cannabis events no approval products is allowed at temporary cannabis events they can only be held from 10: a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and they can't be held in residential districts that might be a word
of you know should that 10 to n be the same as the other 8 to 10 we consistent well those are hours of operation this is a this is an event somewhere that's not being so
I think the the in residential districts you know maybe that could be something different than residential district because that could be up for debate what a residential district is well there are no residential
[Music] district so is that would you like it prohibited in residential like within I don't 200 fet of a residential house or do you want to just strict that
completely out we just be hand on P set up the hand PS any it up oh but the review process shall consider the public health safety and Ware concerns associated with the proposed
cannabis event I would take it out because I don't know what it mean the stand at as appreciation days they're gonna have to get a approval the whole thing out except some or just
that residential part you don't have it in zo you know I suppose the cities would have zo maybe F should State temporary cannabis events must comply with the requirements described in 3.1 which
would be the th000 Ft of a school 500 ft of a daycare 500 ft of a residential pment and 500 an traction within a public park what's that to do 31 that temporary um and
then I would again get rid of the audited treasure or the planning and zoning and just be the orator J would be gone that would be the reserve review process to take in consideration of
public health safety welfare concerns associated with the pro proposed Canabis event so that I agree Justin doesn't make sense you making sense can consumption um and then I believe 5.2
would be irrelevant because we do not have zoning districts then Angie you asked you answered my last question about the other the other businesses that cannabis is part of whether it be
the the micro or mesro business the manufacture retail wholesale testing transporter delivery cultivation and medical cannabis combination business and a cultivation plan so those are all the different
types of cannabis that aren't even touched by the ordinance some of the mzo and micro would because they they include a retail component um but yes you're right like the cultivation manufacturing some of that's addressed in the other County zoning info so I can send you what a
draft of that zoning info looks like and I don't know where you would include that language if you wanted to include language to address some of those other license types I could get it all in one one thing to note the under 5.3 the
additional standards the two things highlighted in blue the sale of low poy hemp Edibles is permitted only in places that admit persons 21 plus and that low poy hemp Edibles s shall be sold behind a counter and stored in a lot case those are recommendations that come from the
public health law Center other Counties have not gone that strict um we wanted to put that in there because um in the last conversation that we came to a board uh I think the board was sharing that they wanted more strict options or just to learn about what those options could
be so I wanted to point out we don't have other counties that use those for example I think um just across the street here they sell low points and hemp Edibles and they allow people under 21 so you would be removing them from being able to sell that product so that would have that particular line would
have a consequence to that business um we should take that out y so yeah so I just wanted make sure that we had that conversation so maybe take out the sale of L pobles is permitted only in places that Adit persons 21 plus Otter so D just said otter tale has
that so they're not in our five counties but there are some that are going that strict I just wanted to make sure that we had that conversation knowing that that would have that's like Inman they said they they're selling them in the grocery store L then they that in there yeah what so
just want to make sure we had that conversation restaurant has it over here too they got one more question this one we made one site I've never had one so I don't know what happens when it comes to the
cities if they're going to develop and we had a lottery if the city has a one in the county who gets preference to the cities to have their own lottery so we're going to have one County lottery so
once if a city goes out on their own and licenses one really quick then there's none other the unincorporated ta but if Lake wants a dozen of them stop they can have a dozen
oh okay so the one does not apply for the with in the cities if they if they not if they don't delegate to us okay so I misunderstood that one I thought that like Alexander I thought Douglas County said four and that was totally so douas county says four of any things that have
been delegated to them oh so if the city has their own the city can have 20 okay and then and Grant County can have 20 I misunderstood it so you you clarified it thank you any other questions comments the board
just want to thank you too for your help yes we'll have more question last part Carl the different types can can that be integrated into one ordinance or one policy or whatever this is called or do we need
separate we have it worked with any other counties that don't have zoning so I wouldn't know what's your question well there's many different explain it we had this so there's many different types of businesses that you can have with
cannabis but this only talks about the retail selling site yeah this doesn't have anything to do with the transportation the wholesale the manufacturing the cultivation we don't cover any of that
within we need to have six of these or can we get them all into one like cap cap wise we can only cap the retail so we could have 100 cultivation we LIC
don't for that but do we want to say you need to be a thousand otherwise a cultivation could set up right next to the school in as St stat you're F I mean look up the
stat this so my question is if you're going to have a cultivation we still want you to be a th000 feet away from the school like we can't set up the the licensing of them but we can still the rest the
Restriction well now you're zoning and I don't want to go down the road of zoning and tell me what the difference is so I'm growing full-fledged marijuana in a field for that to become useful I've got to refine it right I've got to take it I've
got to dry it I got to CR I got things to do I can't just go grab it and later that day well I can't just go grab it and use it I grow it across the street from the school Feld there 40 acres and my kids run wild through it that what you
want that's what Carl's asking you there way that those requirements in the SS you could work it where that those apply to all types of canis business that's a state license and they've got them set packs in place I would have to
believe that it's I what's that I don't believe they do I if they had their stuff in place we wouldn't be dealing with any of this but this is just on the retail dispensary side of things no this is not the retail so when we so I'm just going to kind of
go down when we look at our Wind Tower ordinance is our Wind Tower ordinance is outside of yeah applies everywhere it applies everywhere so we have other ordinances that that cover the entire
County could this also cover the rest of the county saying that countywide if you're going to operate one of these businesses you can't be within a th000 feet of a school you can't be within 500 feet like that's just what I'm saying is
can we put this in writing saying County you just can't be part of you can't be within these distances that's what think could it be the end of this one it could be part of it that I think between Justin and I we could figure out a way to get it I think
we should have something but let's try not to have separate documents TR to includ it right so that is something you want me to look at I think at least putting it in verbage to to imp those businesses going through all this effort let's try to get
it all of them done I guess I'm still not convinced I need to be telling people what they need to do with their land what they cannot grow and it's a product that is not you can't take it out of the field and just I mean it's got to be refined you tell you can't put solar
there you can't put Wind Tower there you can't put this or that there you can't put your sewer there it's the same gig other than building the only thing we don't tell them they can't build there well then like it why can we put corn next to a school I can take that and make whiskey you do every want oh my
God you can't feed it to deer though you'll get a fine yeah you can't intoxicate right this rabbit hole is getting deep we got one item left on the agenda yet yeah yeah the last item I have on
mine is no before renewal um this is something that the county has uh been a part of there's two different options there's a onee renewal for $2,996
32 otherwise there's a second option of a threeyear renewal which would be 8,480 or $58 90 this is the training that we go through for computer training this is something
that we did after the computer event what was that first number 2 what 9963 and the other one was 8,458 $600 saving $200 make the motion to do the onee renewal might be something better a year
from now good ahead second it any more discussion all in favor motion Tak say I I PA
car um one last thing is the township meeting is at 1:00 today um over in the B basement Community Building community building I didn't even know about that how they why did we not have that on our
