1. D. Recognition of Chloride Reduction Leadership Award
Prepared By
Tim Kieffer, Public Works Director
Marshall Beugen, Street and Vehicle Maintenance Superintendent
Summary
The City recently received the Chloride Reduction Leadership Award at the 2022 Salt Symposium,
which is sponsored by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and Department of Natural Resources
for its work reducing chloride use during snow and ice control operations and the impacts to local
waterbodies.
Staff has been able to reduce the amount of granular road salt applied during winter storms through
training and education, equipment improvements, enhanced liquid additive products, better weather
forecasting, and data collection and analysis. The City has decreased salt usage by 390 tons over the
last two and a half years while maintaining the same level of service. This is a 20% reduction saving the
City $28,840.

Prepared By
Tim Kieffer, Public Works Director
Marshall Beugen, Street and Vehicle Maintenance Superintendent
Summary
Staff replaces city vehicles routinely to keep the fleet in good working condition and stabilize the
budgetary impacts from year to year. Staff proposes to order five Explorers scheduled for 2023 to
prevent delays due to supply chain issues. It is anticipated the city will not take delivery of the vehicles
before the end of 2022. The existing vehicle being replaced may be reassigned to other departments
with non-emergency response duties, such as, the Inspections or Engineering Departments.
Staff evaluates vehicles and equipment on an annual basis to determine replacement programing. The
vehicles scheduled for replacement meet the criteria set forth in the City’s Vehicle Replacement Policy
and Vehicle Condition Index (VCI). The VCI is a tool used to assess all vehicles and equipment
scheduled for replacement. Below is a summary of the ratings:

Agenda Item
3. C. 2. Approve Contract with Racially Conscious Collaboration
Prepared By
Kiarra Zackery, Equity and Inclusion Manager
Kirsten Santelices, Deputy City Manager/Human Resources Director
Summary
At its April 12, 2022, work session, staff met with the City Council to discuss unassigned fund balance
and reviewed a proposal to fund City-wide diversity, equity, and inclusion training. Staff provided a
recommendation that the City staff continue training with the organization Racially Conscious
Collaboration (RCC). Since that time staff have worked with RCC to lay out a proposal that meets the
needs of the City. The current proposal includes several trainings from fall 2022 to spring of 2023,
which includes: a full day RCC Foundations training for all FT/Reg staff); full-day leadership trainings
through the RCCL platform for all first-line supervisors; full-day City Council training through their RCCB
platform; and a virtual training option for POC FF called Starting Racially Conscious Collaboration. All
training programs focus on assessing equity understanding, building competency, and preparing
individuals for systems change that reflects racial consciousness. Staff will continue to monitor the
training and development and create new opportunities for full-time, part-time, variable hour, and
seasonal staff members.
Financial Or Budget Considerations
The cost of services is absorbed within the City’s 2022 budget.

Agenda Item
3. C. 3. Approve Updated Law Enforcement Services Agreement with Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office
Prepared By
Alice White, Assistant Police Chief
Summary
Based on projected staffing levels over the next several months, the Police Department may be unable
to staff patrol shifts at fully operational levels. Therefore, Police Department command staff recommend
contracting with the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office for assistance filling open shifts. The contract does
not guarantee services from the Sheriff’s office. The intent is to make open shifts available to Sheriff’s
Office staff. The contract has some updates since it was previously presented to Council on June 7.
Recruitment is ongoing but staffing levels are at a critical point and need to be made a priority.
Financial Or Budget Considerations
The rates are listed in Attachment A of the agreement. The rates are comparable to those paid to
Golden Valley Police Officers. The rates have been updated.
Recommended Action
Motion to approve Law Enforcement Services Agreement with Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office in the
form approved by the City Attorney.

Pursuant to the foregoing, the parties agree as follows:
1. TERM
COUNTY shall provide Services (as defined herein) commencing August 19, 2022, and
ending at midnight on December 31, 2023, unless terminated sooner pursuant to the
provisions herein.
2. SERVICES AND OBLIGATIONS
Pursuant to the terms herein, COUNTY, by and through HCSO, shall exercise best efforts
to assign law enforcement personnel (“Deputies”) to provide law enforcement and
related services for CITY in and around the geographical boundaries of the City of
Golden Valley as more fully described in Attachment A (“Rates for Services”).
Services shall encompass only those duties and functions that are within the jurisdiction

complete and current copies of said regulatory ordinances.
HCSO and its assigned Deputies shall work collaboratively with CITY law enforcement

HCSO’s standards, policies, and procedures or by applicable law.

recall Deputies when it is considered to be in COUNTY’s best interest to do so.

situations which arise in relation hereto, each party shall immediately report such
incidents to the other party and shall immediately cooperate, collaborate, and
coordinate with the other party to investigate, remedy and/or respond to the same. For

outward facing communications regarding any unusual incident, emergency, or
controversial situation.

AGREEMENT
1. Services. Consultant agrees to provide the City with investigatory services outlined in Exhibit A attached hereto

by professionals currently providing similar services.
2. Term. This Agreement shall remain in force and effect commencing from the effective date and continuing until

insurance required by this Agreement.
In the event of a termination, the City shall pay Consultant for Services performed to the date of termination and
for all costs or other expenses incurred prior to the date of termination.
5. Amendments. No amendments may be made to this Agreement except in a writing signed by both parties.
6. Records/Inspection. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes § 16C.05, subd. 5, Consultant agrees that the books,

transaction, are subject to examination by the City and the state auditor or legislative auditor for a minimum of
six years. Consultant shall maintain such records for a minimum of six years after final payment. The parties agree
that this obligation will survive the completion or termination of this Agreement.
7. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant, and Consultant’s successors or assigns,
agree to protect, defend, indemnify, save, and hold harmless the City, its officers, officials, agents, volunteers, and
employees from any and all claims; lawsuits; causes of actions of any kind, nature, or character; damages; losses;
or costs, disbursements, and expenses of defending the same, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees,
professional services, and other technical, administrative or professional assistance resulting from or arising out of
Consultant’s (or its subcontractors, agents, volunteers, members, invitees, representatives, or employees)
performance of the duties required by or arising from this Agreement, or caused in whole or in part by any negligent
act or omission or willful misconduct by Consultant, or arising out of Consultant’s failure to obtain or maintain the
insurance required by this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute a waiver or limitation of any
immunity or limitation on liability to which the City is entitled. The parties agree that these indemnification obligations
shall survive the completion or termination of this Agreement.
8. Assignment and Subcontracting. Neither the City nor Consultant shall assign, or transfer any rights under or
interest (including, but without limitation, moneys that may become due or moneys that are due) in the
Agreement without the written consent of the other except to the extent that the effect of this limitation may be
restricted by law. Unless specifically stated to the contrary in any written consent to an assignment, no assignment
will release or discharge the assignor from any duty or responsibility under this Agreement. Nothing contained in
this paragraph shall prevent Consultant from employing such independent consultants, associates, and
subcontractors, as it may deem appropriate to assist it in the performance of the Services required by this
Agreement. Any instrument in violation of this provision is null and void.
9. Independent Contractor. Consultant is an independent contractor. Consultant’s duties shall be performed
with the understanding that Consultant has special expertise as to the services which Consultant is to perform and
is customarily engaged in the independent performance of the same or similar services for others. Consultant shall
provide or contract for all required equipment and personnel. Consultant shall control the manner in which the
services are performed; however, the nature of the Services and the results to be achieved shall be specified by
the City. The parties agree that this is not a joint venture and the parties are not co-partners. Consultant is not an
employee or agent of the City and has no authority to make any binding commitments or obligations on behalf of
the City except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement. All services provided by Consultant pursuant
to this Agreement shall be provided by Consultant as an independent contractor and not as an employee of the
City for any purpose, including but not limited to: income tax withholding, workers' compensation, unemployment
compensation, FICA taxes, liability for torts and eligibility for employee benefits.

state and local laws, rules, ordinances and regulations in effect as of the date Consultant agrees to provide the
Services. Consultant’s guests, invitees, members, officers, officials, agents, employees, volunteers,
representatives, and subcontractors shall abide by the City’s policies prohibiting sexual harassment and tobacco,
drug, and alcohol use as defined on the City’s Tobacco, Drug, and Alcohol Policy, all Golden Valley Police
Department Policies, and all other reasonable work rules, safety rules, or policies, and procedures regulating the
conduct of persons on City property, at all times while performing duties pursuant to this Agreement. Consultant
agrees and understands that a violation of any of these policies, procedures, or rules constitutes a breach of the
Agreement and sufficient grounds for immediate termination of the Agreement by the City.
11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, any attached exhibits, and any addenda signed by the parties shall
constitute the entire agreement between the City and Consultant and supersedes any other written or oral
agreements between the City and Consultant. This Agreement may only be modified in a writing signed by the
City and Consultant. If there is any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the referenced or attached
items, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.
12. Third Party Rights. The parties to this Agreement do not intend to confer any rights under this Agreement on
any third party.

the state of Minnesota. Any disputes, controversies, or claims arising out of this Agreement shall be heard in the
state or federal courts of Hennepin County, Minnesota, and all parties to this Agreement waive any objection to
the jurisdiction of these courts, whether based on convenience or otherwise.
14. Conflict of Interest. Consultant shall use reasonable care to avoid conflicts of interest and appearances of
impropriety in representation of the City. In the event of a conflict of interest, Consultant shall advise the City and,
either secure a waiver of the conflict, or advise the City that it will be unable to provide the requested Services.
15. Work Products and Ownership of Documents. All records, information, materials, and work product,
including, but not limited to the completed reports, data collected from or created by the City or the City’s
employees or agents, raw market data, survey data, market analysis data, and any other data, work product, or
reports prepared or developed in connection with the provision of the Services pursuant to this Agreement shall
become the property of the City, but Consultant may retain reproductions of such records, information, materials
and work product. Regardless of when such information was provided or created, Consultant agrees that it will
not disclose for any purpose any information Consultant has obtained arising out of or related to this Agreement,
except as authorized by the City or as required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement
shall grant or transfer any rights, title or interests in any intellectual property created by Consultant prior to the
effective date of this Agreement; however, to the extent Consultant generates reports or recommendations for
the City using proprietary processes or formulas, Consultant shall provide the City (1) factual support for such
reports and recommendations; (2) a detailed explanation of the method used and data relied upon to arrive at
the recommendation; and (3) a detailed explanation of the rationale behind the methodology used. All of the
obligations in this paragraph shall survive the completion or termination of this Agreement.
16. Agreement Not Exclusive. The City retains the right to hire other professional consultant service providers for
this or other matters, in the City’s sole discretion.

Act, Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 13 (the “MGDPA”). Consultant agrees to notify the City within three business days
if it receives a data request from a third party. This paragraph does not create a duty on the part of Consultant to
provide access to public data to the public if the public data are available from the City, except as required by the
terms of this Agreement. These obligations shall survive the termination or completion of this Agreement.
18. Confidentiality. Consultant understands that the City has access to, develops, and uses private, confidential,
nonpublic, and protected nonpublic information, as those terms are defined by the MGDPA, in connection with
its business (collectively, “Confidential Information”). The City has instituted policies and procedures to protect
and safeguard this Confidential Information. While working for the City under this Agreement, Consultant may
come into contact with Confidential Information. Consultant understands that the protection of Confidential

right to enforce this Agreement in any court having jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota.
18.3 This Agreement is not intended to prevent Consultant from working for any employer subsequent
to the termination of their relationship with the City, as long as Consultant does not use or disclose
Confidential Information.

on the basis of race, color, sex, creed, national origin, disability, age, sexual orientation, status with regard to public
assistance, or religion. Violation of any part of this provision may lead to immediate termination of this Agreement.
Consultant agrees to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act as amended (“ADA”), section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Minnesota Human Rights Act, Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 363A. Consultant
agrees to hold harmless and indemnify the City from costs, including but not limited to damages, attorneys’ fees
and staff time, in any action or proceeding brought alleging a violation of these laws by Consultant or its guests,
invitees, members, officers, officials, agents, employees, volunteers, representatives and subcontractors. Upon
request, Consultant shall provide accommodation to allow individuals with disabilities to participate in all Services
under this Agreement. Consultant agrees to utilize its own auxiliary aid or service in order to comply with ADA
requirements for effective communication with individuals with disabilities.
20. Waiver. No waiver of any provision or of any breach of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other
provisions or any other or further breach, and no such waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and signed
by an authorized representative of the party to be charged with such a waiver.
21. Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only
and shall in no way define, limit, or affect the scope and intent of this Agreement.

Agenda Item
3. G. Approval of Plat – Central Park West PUD No. 121 Third Addition, Authorization to Sign PUD
Permit – Central Park West PUD No. 121 Amendment #5, and Approval of Assumption of Development
Agreement
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Maria Cisneros, City Attorney
Summary
On April 5, 2022, the City Council held a public hearing and approved the minor lot subdivision for
Central Park West PUD No. 121 Third Addition and Amendment #5 to the PUD. The Final Plat and PUD
Permit have been prepared for consideration. City staff have reviewed the documents and find them to
be consistent with the approved Preliminary Plat and the requirements of City Code.
As a result of the new parcel being created to house the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services
(MCES) lift station, the City Council is being asked to approve Assumption of the Development
Agreement with MCES that exempts MCES from the requirements in the Development Agreement. The
purpose of the agreement is to add MCES to the agreement as a landowner within the PUD and to
clarify that, given the limited nature of MCES’s ownership, the responsibilities in the PUD Development
Agreement continue to fall on the adjacent property owners.
Financial Or Budget Considerations
None
Recommended Action

Golden Valley City Council Meeting
August 16, 2022
Agenda Item
4. A. Zoning Text Amendment - Regulation and Sale of Tetrahydrocannabinol Products
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Myles Campbell, City Planner
Summary
The topic of expanded THC product types was first discussed by the Golden Valley City Council at their
July 12th work session and then at the July 19th regular meeting. At that meeting, in addition to the
first consideration of a licensing ordinance, the Council directed the Planning Commission to consider
zoning regulations for THC sales using tobacco restrictions as a model for the ordinance. At their July
25th meeting, the Commission reviewed a proposed zoning ordinance regulating the location of retail
establishments selling products containing tetrahydrocannabinols and unanimously recommended
approval (4-0).
Zoning Amendment
Following the Council’s direction, the proposed zoning text amendment in front of the Council is
modeled from the tobacco zoning ordinance passed in 2020 (City Code § 113-92). The tobacco review
in 2020 focused on using zoning to complement sales and licensing restrictions, and so focused on
providing separation between tobacco retailers and “youth-oriented facilities,” which are defined in
code as, “a school, park, athletic field, or playground.”
After the tobacco zoning amendments, retailers selling tobacco products are permitted with
restrictions only in the City’s Commercial Zoning District. The main restriction that must be met is a
separation of at least 500 feet from a youth-oriented facility; the regulations also included
considerations for multi-tenant buildings. At the time, the Planning Commission also considered
whether to set a proximity restriction between tobacco retailers (to limit density) and additional site
restrictions but decided that these additional controls were unnecessary given the principal goal was to
limit youth exposure to tobacco products. The 500-foot distance and definition of youth-oriented
facility were also not arbitrary and were determined using almost a dozen alternate mapping scenarios
to find a buffer with meaningful impact, but which did not overly restrict retailer locations.
Given the urgency with which to implement restrictions for the sale of THC products, City staff and
Planning Commissioners agreed that as an interim step applying the same zoning standards for THC
sales as were applied for tobacco made broad sense.
City Council Regular Meeting Executive Summary
City of Golden Valley
August 16, 2022
2
• The proximity restriction is narrowly tailored to prevent youth exposure to products, as they
are not of legal age to purchase or consume them.
• The 500-foot buffer has been tested previously and is not so restrictive as to act as a de-facto
prohibition on THC product retailers.
• Co-location of tobacco/THC retailers could be possible, as the two uses are subject to
equivalent buffer restrictions.
This is a relatively minor adjustment to the existing zoning code, which currently does not provide any
specific consideration to THC product retailers (or producers, hemp growers, etc., for that matter). It
would give the City an added degree of control for these types of retailers in the short-term. The
expectation is that the State legislature will be revisiting this topic in the next year to provide more
clarity and regulatory control to these products, after which the topic could be returned to with a
greater understanding of how these products will be managed locally in the longer term.
The zoning amendment does not provide any new regulation or definitions for uses associated with
THC product manufacturing, hemp cultivation, or other related processing. Under the current zoning
regulations, manufacturing and processing would fall under the land use category of “General
manufacturing uses,” which are only allowed in the Industrial Zoning District. Cultivation and growing
of hemp would fall under “Greenhouses,” which are allowed again in the Industrial and Light Industrial
Zoning Districts.
Generally, staff is not concerned with how these production uses are currently managed. Given that
production is restricted to industrial zones and sales restricted to commercial zones, it means that no
growing or manufacturing operation could have an associated sales component. Placing any additional
restrictions on these production uses – which do not have a direct sales or service component with
customers – should be connected to a recognizable impact on surrounding properties or the
community.
Discussion at Planning Commission
The Planning Commission was largely comfortable with basing the THC ordinance around the
previously studied tobacco retail locations. Multiple members were present at the time of that
ordinance’s adoption and believed the restrictions and Commercial zoning made sense for a new but
similar category of land use.
Commissioners did ask a number of questions relating to potential future amendments to the code and
asked that the topic of THC regulation in the zoning code be revisited once the legislature has further
clarified regulations. Also discussed at this meeting were other topics such as: the restrictions the
license requirement would place on THC retailers, separately defining medical and recreational THC
products, and the question of production/grow facilities.

Golden Valley City Council Meeting
August 16, 2022
Agenda Item
6. A. Consideration of Ordinances and a Resolution Related to the Licensing and Fee Schedule for the
Sale of Tetrahydrocannabinol Products, Ordinances No. 741 and 743, Resolution No. 22-070
Prepared By
Maria Cisneros, City Attorney
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Summary
At its July 19, 2022, regular meeting, the Council adopted the first reading of a licensing ordinance
regulating the sale of products containing tetrahydrocannabinols. At the Planning Commission meeting
on July 25, 2022, the Planning Commission reviewed a proposed zoning ordinance regulating the
location of retail establishments selling products containing tetrahydrocannabinols. On July 27, 2022,
the City held a public engagement event to learn more about the issue from retailers, public health
experts, and community members. Additionally, from July 27 through August 10, community members
had the opportunity to provide feedback to the City via an online survey. The survey results and
materials collected at the public engagement event are attached to this memo. Attached to this memo
are two draft ordinances, one addressing licensing and the other addressing licensing fees. Each is
addressed in turn below.
Licensing Ordinance
The draft licensing ordinance is modeled on the tobacco related ordinances adopted by the City
Council in 2019 (City Code, Ch. 16, Art. 6). Staff has been studying the topic since the first reading, and
recommends making the following changes to the ordinance:
• Change the definition of licensed product to ____________; and
• Update the purpose statement to incorporate additional context and public health
considerations. These changes are modeled from recommendations published by the Public
Health Law Center.
Staff recommends adopting these changes in the second reading and has provided a clear version
incorporating the changes.

Additional Considerations
In the weeks since the first reading, staff has identified additional regulatory options that the Council
may wish to include in the second reading. These include, but are not limited to:
• Limiting the number of licenses
• Prohibiting the sale of THC products in restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores, salons, or other
types of retail establishments
• Prohibiting delivery sales
• Regulating the hours of sales
• Allowing THC sales at events. The current proposals would prohibit sales at events because
mobile sales are not allowed and there is no option for a temporary license
• Regulating characteristics of the retail establishments that sell THC products, such as exterior
windows
• Regulating the production, manufacture, or distribution of THC products
Financial Or Budget Considerations
Adoption of the licensing ordinance will require additional staff time to develop a license application,
process applications and background checks, and conduct compliance checks. Licensing fees will offset
hard costs to City and compensate for staff time. Staff proposes adopting a licensing fee of $450 to
offset these costs. See proposed Ordinance No. 743.
Recommended Action
• Motion to adopt second reading of Ordinance No. 741 amending Chapter 16—Licensing to add
Article XIX. Tetrahydrocannabinol Products.
• Motion to approve Resolution No. 22-070 authorizing summary publication of Ordinance No. 741.
• Motion to adopt first reading of Ordinance No. 743 amending the Master Fee Schedule to include
licensing fees for Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) Retail Establishments.

ORDINANCE NO. 741
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CITY CODE
AMENDING CHAPTER 16 OF THE CITY CODE
ADDING ARTICLE XIX. TETRAHYDROCANNABINOL PRODUCTS
The City Council of the City of Golden Valley hereby ordains as follows:
Section 1. City Code Chapter 16 is amended to add Article XIX, and shall read
as follows:
ARTICLE XIX. TETRAHYDROCANNABINOL PRODUCTS
Sec. 16-550. Purpose and Intent.
The purpose of this Section is to regulate the sale of legalized adult-use of any
product that contains tetrahydrocannabinol and that meets the requirements to be sold
for human or animal consumption under Minnesota Statutes, section 151.72 (“THC
Products”) for the following reasons:
(a) The City recognizes that, based on the most reliable and up-to-date scientific
evidence, the rapid introduction of newly legalized adult-use THC products,
presents a significant potential threat to the public health, safety, and welfare of
the residents of Golden Valley, and particularly to youth.
(b) The City has the opportunity to be proactive and make decisions that will mitigate
this threat and reduce exposure of young people to the products or to the
marketing of these products and improve compliance among THC product
retailers with laws prohibiting the sale or marketing of THC products to minors.
(c) A local regulatory system for THC product retailers is appropriate to ensure that
retailers comply with THC product laws and business standards of the City of
Golden Valley to protect the health, safety, and welfare of our youth and most
vulnerable residents.
(d) State law requires THC product retailers to check the identification of purchasers
to verify that they are at least 21 years of age (Minn. Stat. § 151.72, subd. 3(c)),
comply with certain packaging and labeling requirements to protect children and
youth (Id., subd. 5), and meet certain potency and serving size requirements (Id.,
subd. 5a).
(e) State law authorizes the Board of Pharmacy to adopt product and testing
standards in part to curb the illegal sale and distribution of THC products and
ensure the safety and compliance of commercially available THC products in the
state of Minnesota.
(f) State law does not preempt the authority of a local jurisdiction to adopt and
enforce local ordinances to regulate THC product businesses including, but not
Page 2 of 8
limited to, local zoning and land use requirements and business license
requirements.
(g) A requirement for a THC product retailer license will not unduly burden legitimate
business activities of retailers who sell or distribute THC products to adults but
will allow the City of Golden Valley to regulate the operation of lawful businesses
to discourage violations of state and local THC Product-related laws.
In making these findings and enacting this ordinance, it is the intent of the Golden
Valley City Council to ensure responsible THC product retailing, allowing legal sale and
access without promoting increases in use, and to discourage violations of THC
Product-related laws, especially those which prohibit or discourage the marketing, sale
or distribution of THC products to youth under 21 years of age.
Sec. 16-551. Definitions.
Except as may otherwise be provided or clearly implied by context, all terms shall
be given their commonly accepted definitions. The following words, terms, and phrases,
when used in this article, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this section,
except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:
Compliance Checks. The system the City uses to investigate and ensure that those
authorized to sell licensed products are following and complying with the requirements
of this article. Compliance checks may also be conducted by the City or other units of
government for educational, research, and training purposes, or for investigating or
enforcing Federal, State, or local laws and regulations relating to licensed products.
Exclusive Liquor Store. An establishment that meets the definition of exclusive
liquor store in Minnesota Statutes, section 340A.101, subdivision 10.
Licensed Product or THC Product. Any product that contains tetrahydrocannabinol
and that meets the requirements to be sold for human or animal consumption under
Minnesota Statutes, section 151.72.
Moveable Place of Business. Any form of business operated out of a kiosk, truck,
van, automobile, or other type of vehicle or transportable shelter and not a fixed address
storefront or other permanent type of structure authorized for sales transactions.
Retail Establishment. Any place of business where licensed products are available
for sale to the general public, including, but not be limited to, grocery stores, tobacco
products shops, convenience stores, gasoline service stations, bars, and restaurants.
Sale. Any transfer of goods for money, trade, barter, or other consideration.
Self-Service Merchandising. Open displays of licensed products in any manner
where any person has access to the licensed products without the assistance or
intervention of the licensee or the licensee's employee. Assistance or intervention
means the actual physical exchange of the licensed product between the customer and
the licensee or employee.
Vending Machine. Any mechanical, electric, or electronic, or other type of device
that dispenses licensed products upon the insertion of money, tokens, or other form of
Page 3 of 8
payment directly into the machine by the person seeking to purchase the licensed
product.
Sec. 16-552. License.
(a) License Required. No person shall sell or offer to sell any licensed product without
first having obtained a license to do so from the City.
(b) Application. An application for a license to sell licensed products shall be made on
a form provided by the City. The application shall contain the full name of the
applicant, the applicant's residential and business addresses and telephone
numbers, the name of the business for which the license is sought, and any
additional information the City deems necessary. Upon receipt of a completed
application, the City Clerk shall forward the application to the City Council for action
at its next regularly scheduled City Council meeting. If the City Clerk determines
that an application is incomplete, they shall return the application to the applicant
with notice of the information necessary to make the application complete.
A business applicant, at the time of application, shall furnish the City with a list of all
persons that have an interest of five percent or more in the business. The list shall
name all owners and show the interest held by each, either individually or
beneficially for others. It is the duty of each business licensee to notify the City
Clerk in writing of any change in ownership in the business. Any change in the
ownership or control of the business shall be deemed equivalent to a transfer of the
license, and any such license shall be revoked 30 days after any such change in
ownership or control unless the licensee has notified the Council of the change in
ownership by submitting a new license application for the new owners, and the
Council has approved the transfer of the license by appropriate action. Any time an
additional investigation is required because of a change in ownership or control of a
business, the licensee shall pay an additional investigation fee to be determined by
the City. The City may at any reasonable time examine the transfer records and
minute books of any business licensee to verify and identify the owners, and the
City may examine the business records of any other licensee to the extent
necessary to disclose the interest which persons other than the licensee have in
the licensed business. The Council may revoke any license issued upon its
determination that a change of ownership of a licensee has actually resulted in the
change of control of the licensed business so as materially to affect the integrity
and character of its management and its operation, but no such action shall be
taken until after a hearing by the Council on notice to the licensee.
(c) Action. The City Council may either approve or deny the application for a license, or
it may delay action for a reasonable period of time as necessary to complete any
investigation of the application or the applicant it deems necessary. If the City
Council approves the license, the City Clerk shall issue the license to the applicant.
If the City Council denies the license, notice of the denial shall be given to the
applicant along with notice of the applicant's right to appeal the City Council's
decision. If a license application is denied, the earliest an applicant may reapply is
12 months from the date the license is denied.
Page 4 of 8
(d) Term. All licenses issued under this article shall be valid for one calendar year from
the date of issue.
(e) Revocation or Suspension. Any license issued under this article may be revoked or
suspended as provided in Section 16-560.
(f) Transfers. All licenses issued under this article shall be valid only on the premises
for which the license was issued and only for the person or business to whom the
license was issued. The transfer of any license to another location, business, or
person is prohibited.
(g) Display. All licenses shall be posted and displayed in plain view of the general
public on the licensed premises.
(h) Renewals. The renewal of a license issued under this article shall be handled in the
same manner as the original application. The request for a renewal shall be made
at least 30 days but no more than 60 days before the expiration of the current
license.
(i) Issuance as Privilege and Not a Right. The issuance of a license issued under this
article is a privilege and does not entitle the license holder to automatic renewal of
the license.
Sec. 16-554. Fees.
No license shall be issued under this article until the appropriate license fee shall be
paid in full. The fee for a license under this article shall be established by the City
Council and adopted in the City fee schedule, and may be amended from time to time.
Sec. 16-555. Ineligibility and Basis for Denial of License.
(a) Ineligibility.
(1) Moveable Place of Business. No license shall be issued to a moveable place of
business. Only fixed location businesses shall be eligible to be licensed under
this article.
(2) Exclusive Liquor Store. No license shall be issued to an exclusive liquor store
as defined in Minnesota Statutes, section 340A.101, subdivision 10.
(b) Grounds for Denial. Grounds for denying the issuance or renewal of a license
under this article include, but are not limited to, the following:
(1) The applicant is under the age of 21 years.
(2) The applicant is prohibited by Federal, State, or other local law, ordinance, or
other regulation from holding a license.
(3) The applicant has been convicted within the past five years for any violation of
a Federal, State, or local law, other ordinance, provision, or other regulation
relating to the licensed products, but not including possession or sale of
licensed products.
Page 5 of 8
(4) The applicant has had a license to sell licensed products suspended or
revoked during the 12 months preceding the date of application, or the
applicant has or had an interest in another premises authorized to sell licensed
products, whether in the City or in another jurisdiction, that has had a license to
sell licensed products suspended or revoked during the same time period,
provided the applicant had an interest in the premises at the time of the
revocation or suspension, or at the time of the violation that led to the
revocation or suspension.
(5) The applicant is a business that does not have an operating officer or manager
who is eligible pursuant to the provisions of this article.
(6) The applicant is the spouse of a person ineligible for a license pursuant to the
provision of Subsections (b)(2) and (3) of this section or who, in the judgement
of the Council, is not the real party in interest or beneficial owner of the
business to be operated, under the license.
(7) The applicant fails to provide any information required on the application, or
provides false or misleading information. Any false statement on an
application, or any willful omission of any information called for on such
application form, shall cause an automatic refusal of license, or if already
issued, shall render any license issued pursuant thereto void and of no effect
to protect the applicant from prosecution for violation of this chapter, or any
part thereof.
(c) The City shall conduct a background investigation on all new applications and
applications to transfer a license. The City may conduct a background and financial
check on an application for a renewal of a license if it is in the public interest to do
so. If a license is mistakenly issued or renewed to a person, it shall be revoked
upon the discovery that the person was ineligible for the license under this article
and the City shall provide the person with a notice of revocation, along with
information on the right to appeal.
(d) No license shall be granted or renewed for operation on any premises on which
real estate taxes, assessments, or other financial claims of the City or of the State
are due, delinquent, or unpaid. If an action has been commenced pursuant to the
provisions of Minn. Stats. Ch. 278, questioning the amount or validity of taxes, the
Council may, on application by the licensee, waive strict compliance with this
provision; no waiver may be granted, however, for taxes, or any portion thereof,
which remain unpaid for a period exceeding one year after becoming due unless
such one-year period is extended through no fault of the licensee.
Sec. 16-556. Prohibited Acts.
(a) In general. No person shall sell or offer to sell any licensed product:
(1) By means of any type of vending machine.
(2) By means of self-service merchandising.
Page 6 of 8
(3) By any other means, to any other person, on in any other manner or form
prohibited by state or other local law, ordinance provision, or other regulation.
(b) Legal Age. No person shall sell any licensed product to any person under the age
of 21.
(1) Age verification. Licensees shall verify by means of government issued
photographic identification that the purchaser is at least 21 years of age.
Verification is not required for a person over the age of 30. That the person
appeared to be 30 years of age or older does not constitute a defense to a
violation of this subsection.
(2) Signage. Notice of the legal sales age and age verification requirement must
be posted prominently and in plain view at all times at each location where
licensed products are offered for sale. The required signage, which will be
provided to the licensee by the City, must be posted in a manner that is clearly
visible to anyone who is or is considering making a purchase.
(c) Samples Prohibited. No person shall distribute samples of any licensed product
free of charge or at a nominal cost.
Sec. 16-557. Additional Requirements.
(a) Storage. All licensed products shall either be stored behind a counter or other area
not freely accessible to customers, or in a case or other storage unit not left open
and accessible to the general public.
Sec. 16-558. Responsibility.
All licensees are responsible for the actions of their employees in regard to the
sale, offer to sell, and furnishing of licensed products on the licensed premises. The
sale, offer to sell, or furnishing of any licensed product by an employee shall be
considered an act of the licensee. Nothing in this section shall be construed as
prohibiting the City from also subjecting the employee to any civil penalties that the City
deems to be appropriate under this ordinance, state or federal law, or other applicable
law or regulation.
Sec. 16-559. Compliance Checks and Inspections.
All premises licensed under this subdivision shall be open to inspection by the City
during regular business hours. From time to time, but at least once per year, the City
shall conduct compliance checks.
No person used in compliance checks shall attempt to use a false identification
misrepresenting their age. All persons lawfully engaged in a compliance check shall
answer all questions about their age asked by the licensee or their employee, and
produce any identification, if any exists, for which they are asked. Persons used for the
purpose of compliance checks shall be supervised by law enforcement or other
designated personnel. Nothing in this article shall prohibit compliance checks authorized
Page 7 of 8
by state or federal laws for educational, research, or training purposes, or required for
the enforcement of a particular State or Federal law.
Additionally, from time to time, the City will conduct inspections to determine
compliance with any or all other aspects of this ordinance.
Sec. 16-560. Violations and Penalty.
(a) Administrative Civil Penalties—Individuals. If a person who is not a licensee is
found to have violated this article, the person shall be charged an administrative
penalty as follows:
(1) First Violation. The Council shall impose a civil fine not to exceed $50.00.
(2) Second Violation Within 12 months. The Council shall impose a civil fine not to
exceed $100.00.

the license for not less than 1 day.

least one year.
(c) Administrative Penalty Procedures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
section:
(1) Any of the administrative civil penalties set forth in this section that may be
imposed by the Council, may in the alternative be imposed by an
administrative citation under Section 1-9.
(2) If one of the foregoing penalties is imposed by an action of the Council, no
penalty shall take effect until the licensee or person has received notice
(served personally or by mail) of the alleged violation and of the opportunity for
a hearing before the Council, and such notice must be in writing and must
provide that a right to a hearing before the Council must be requested within 10
business days of receipt of the notice or such right shall terminate.
Page 8 of 8
(d) Misdemeanor Prosecution. Nothing in this section shall prohibit the City from
seeking prosecution as a misdemeanor for any alleged violation of this article.

affect other sections or provisions that can be given force and effect without the
invalidated section or provision.

group discussion was also held where experts presented their opinions and perspectives about
what cities should do, what retailers and consumers should know moving forward, and where they
would like to see the industry going.
Online Survey
The survey was active from July 27–Aug 10, 2022, was limited to one response per IP address, and
had 293 responses.
See survey responses starting on page 3.
