Public Budget and Levy discussion The Truth in Taxation meeting was designed for citizens who had questions about the proposed budget and levy for 2024. The maximum levy approved by the Council in September was 9.55%.

Statement of the preliminary levy at the Truth in Taxation meeting.

Answered from our records

The 9.55% figure is correct. The 2025 preliminary levy was $1,400,000, a 9.55% increase, and the council adopted it as the final levy by Resolution 2024-28 on December 10 2024, 5-0-0. The same pattern repeated the next year, when a 9.93% September maximum was worked down to a 9.18% final levy for 2026.

The December 2024 minutes describe the Truth in Taxation meeting as covering the proposed budget and levy for 2024; it covered the levy payable in 2025.

Review of proposed 2025 fire protection contracts with six townships.

Answered from our records

The 51% city and 49% township split is confirmed and was carried forward unchanged. The same formula applied to the 2026 fire contracts reviewed at the December 2 2025 special meeting, again with each township's share set by the number of sections the department covers, and the six townships were sent notices in November 2025. We do not hold the section-count worksheet itself.

Update on fire department capital purchases in the 2025 budget discussion.

What happened next

The truck arrived roughly three months early. At the December 2 2025 fire contract meeting Chief Ehrich reported the department had taken possession of the new 520 Tender the previous week, rather than the March 2026 date given a year earlier. The 1988 Chevrolet C70 tanker was then set for auction, and the council had declared a 1983 Chevrolet tender excess inventory 5-0-0 with proceeds to the truck fund.

To look upFinance Director Whitney Kyllofrom the minutes
Finance Director Kyllo mentioned that the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation is just getting started in Kenyon. This fund could be used for city projects, which could potentially decrease the levy amount in the future.

Answer to citizen concern about rising taxes.

What happened next

Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation money did reach Kenyon, but it has not reduced the levy. SMIF funded $10,000 for the Depot Park shelters, and by September 8 2026 the city was pursuing a SMIF Taylor Family Farms Rural Development Grant of up to $20,000 with no match to replace pavers with a 10-foot concrete apron and add walkways at Depot Park, with $9,500 in ESMC dollars available. Over the same period the levy rose 9.18% for 2026 and a preliminary 9.26% for 2027.

SMIF funding was offered as something that could decrease the levy in future, and the levy has risen by more than 9% in each year since.

The maximum levy approved by the Council in September was 9.55%. Marit Lang, who lives at 306 Whitetail, asked how the budget money was being spent.

Truth in Taxation public budget and levy discussion for the proposed 2025 levy.

At the meetingFinance Director Kyllo noted the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation fund is starting in Kenyon and could fund city projects, potentially decreasing the levy in the future.

Partly answered

We hold no department-by-department line-item 2025 budget, so the citizen's question is not fully answerable from our data. What we can show is the total and who pays it: the council adopted Resolution 2024-28 on December 10 2024 setting the 2025 levy at $1,400,000 on a 5-0-0 vote, and residential homesteads carry 67.4% of the city tax across 649 parcels, commercial and industrial 14.5% across 85, residential non-homestead 9.8%, other 5.1% and agricultural 3.2%. The adopted budget document by fund and department would settle the spending side.

Unsourced claimMarit Lang, citizen at 306 Whitetailfrom the minutes
Marit Lang, who lives at 306 Whitetail, asked how the budget money was being spent. Her house payment has gone up over $400 a month in the last seven years because of taxes.

Citizen testimony at the Truth in Taxation hearing about tax affordability.

Partly answered

We hold no tax statements for 306 Whitetail, so the $400 a month figure cannot be checked against that parcel. It is large against the town as a whole: $400 a month is $4,800 a year, while the median Kenyon residential homestead pays $1,457 in city tax on a $210,000 estimated market value, and its full property tax bill across city, county and school comes to roughly $2,481 a year at the 143.0% total tax-capacity rate. Seven years of Goodhue County tax statements for the parcel would settle it.

A $4,800 annual increase is roughly double the entire current property tax bill on a median Kenyon homestead, so the figure cannot be a pure tax increase on a median-valued home.

Meeting held to review the proposed 2025 fire contracts with township representatives.

Partly answered

No signed 2025 fire protection contract from any township board appears in our record. The process continued on the same terms a year later, with notices sent to the six townships in November 2025 and a packet of supporting files including the fire contract billing summary, the 2026 township fire contract spreadsheet, the revenue and expenditure budgets and the 2025 fire calls report. Those attachments and the executed township contracts would settle who signed and for how much.

12.2.25 Special Council Meeting

Unsourced claimFire Chief Wayne Ehrichfrom the minutes
The chassis will be built in January 2025, but the truck will not be finished and ready until March 2026. In 2024, Fire Relief donated $25,000 to the truck fund from gambling proceeds.

Explaining funding sources for the fire truck purchase.

Partly answered

No city record of a $25,000 Fire Relief donation in 2024 appears in our data. What the council formally accepted was $10,000 from the Kenyon Fire Relief Association to the fire truck fund, by Resolution 2025-10 on March 11 2025, carried 4-0-0, and that month's donation schedule lists total donations of $10,000. Chief Ehrich later reported Fire Relief donated $27,000 during 2025. The association's gambling fund records and the city receipt would settle the 2024 figure.

The only Fire Relief donation our record shows the council accepting by resolution is $10,000, not the $25,000 reported to the townships.

Unsourced claimFire Chief Wayne Ehrichfrom the minutes
Fire Chief Ehrich summarized what made up the 2025 budget and answered questions from the Township board members. The 2025 budget decreased from 2024. Air packs and gear have been updated and are now in compliance.

Summary of what made up the 2025 fire budget for the townships.

Partly answered

We hold no side-by-side 2024 and 2025 fire operating budgets, so the claimed decrease cannot be quantified. The gear compliance claim is supported: on December 13 2023 the council bought self-contained breathing apparatus and a compressor from Alex Air Apparatus for $156,445, made up of $116,805 for the SCBA and $39,640 for the compressor. The 2026 budget then rose $1,658.17 over 2025, driven mainly by pagers, radios and property insurance.

RE: 2023 Pearl Creek Sanitary Sewer & Gates Ave Utility Improvements

City of Kenyon, MN Project No.: 0H1.126462

Mr. Miller: Over the past several months, we have been awaiting the satisfactory completion of various punch list repairs on this project. To date, most of this work is now complete; however, there have been delays associated with minor grading, stabilization, and turf establishment within the Barrett property. Although some recent effort has been made, we do not yet believe the work is acceptable. Now that winter conditions have begun, the results of any final restoration will be unknown until spring thaw. Given this reality, we are recommending that an additional completion date be established in early spring for the remaining repair work. This date will serve as the time the city may seek help from others outside of the contract to complete the work. We anticipate that continued liquidated damages would be suspended over the winter months. Such changes will require city council approval and will be memorialized with a change order. Please contact us to discuss any concerns with this approach. The attached pay application #11 is for $4,430 is enclosed for your review. This payment includes the release of a portion of the retainage withheld for punch list repairs made this past month. As detailed in the pay app, the payment also includes some liquidated damage deductions. Please sign and return the pay application via DocuSign. Please contact us with any questions or concerns. Sincerely, Bolton & Menk, Inc.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION

Agenda Item: Department: Requested Council Meeting Date: Submitted By: Engineering 12/10/2024 Derek Olinger

TITLE OF ISSUE: 2025 Street & Utility Improvements

BACKGROUND AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:

Design work for the project is approximately 25% complete.

We would like to discuss the need for easements along Langford Avenue. Please refer to the draft plans for Langford Ave (included separately in packet).

The Langford right-of-way (ROW) is within and adjacent to former railroad ROW. The ROW width varies and portions of the existing street are outside the ROW. Since the project will include a slight increase to the Langford Street width, these encroachments will grow as a result of the project.

This project presents an opportunity to address this issue through the acquisition of permanent easements from adjacent property owners. Most easements would include a strip of land (a few feet wide) adjacent to the street. Easements require compensation to the property owner, as well as engineering and legal time to draft property descriptions, draft agreements and meet with property owners. Please also be advised that the quick and successful easement acquisition requires willing land owners.

We are requesting the council's support in beginning easement negotiations. Any future easement agreements and associated compensation will require council approval.

SOURCE OF FUNDING: Future Project Financing

REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION: Motion directing city engineer to engage property owners for the acquisition of easements for Landford Ave.

Agenda Item Summary

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM REPORT

DATE: December 10, 2024
SUBMITTED BY: Holli Gudknecht, Legal
ITEM TYPE: Legal

Agenda Section: Legal

SUBJECT: Kenyon Code 400.07 Moving Permits - Amendment

1. Ordinance No. 107: Amending Section 400.07 of the Kenyon City Code Regarding Moving Permits

SUGGESTED ACTION: The attached amendment to Ordinance No. 107 regarding moving

permits is attached.

In October, the Planning Commission reviewed a request to move a building to a lot in Kenyon. This request did not materialize, but the Commission felt the current city code for moving permits needed to be updated. The code did not address conforming to the appearance or structural design of other buildings in the area or the age of the structure to be moved. Changes made include: 1. Language to address the concerns about appearance and age was added to the moving permit code. 2. A paragraph was also added from the KMU Rules and Regulations Handbook about electric line clearance. 3. In Subd.4, the language was changed to match the MN State Statute 221.81.

At the December 4, 2024 Planning Commission meeting the updated ordinance was reviewed. The Commission is recommending adoption of Ordinance No. 107 to the City Council.

Memorandum

TO: Kenyon Mayor and City Council
FROM: Joseph L. Sathe, Assistant City Attorney
DATE: December 6, 2024
RE: Initial Cannabis Regulatory Decisions

The purpose of this memo is to provide a high-level overview of the options cities will have regarding adult-use cannabis and to obtain preliminary input on some questions that will be used to draft the City's ordinance(s) related to cannabis and hemp. This memo is based on the information available at this time. The Office of Cannabis Management ("OCM") has released a draft of its administrative rules which are subject to change over the next few months.

Enclosed is the OCM's Guide for Local Government on Adult-Use Cannabis. This is a document includes additional information on cannabis businesses should you desire additional information.

Additionally, I have enclosed a preliminary draft of what cannabis regulations (both administrative and zoning) might look like in Kenyon if the city consents to have the county deal with registrations (discussed further below) and also an example of an ordinance from a community (Rogers) that is handling registrations itself.

Answering the questions in this memo will guide staff in drafting language specifically for the city ordinances.

I. Decisions – Generally

Under the Cannabis Act, cities generally maintain their ability to enact regulations with two primary limitations: (1) the City may not prohibit the establishment or operation of a cannabis or hemp business licensed by the OCM; and (2) the Legislature has established a maximum buffer from certain uses. Cities will retain the ability to enact certain ordinances even if it consents to have the county issue registrations, as discussed in Section IV.

Ii. Zoning Decisions – Designating Zoning Districts

KE200\1\993980.v1-12/6/24 40 The City can amend its zoning code to specifically allow each business type in a particular district or it can choose to simply allow cannabis businesses in zones with similar uses (e.g., retailers in commercial zones with other retail). The following table includes each licensed business and very high-level information on the businesses operations.

Question: Does the City want to designate zoning districts where cannabis businesses can be located or rely on each businesses underlying use?

License Type Main Function Use Type(s)

Cannabis Retailer Sales to the customers Commercial Cannabis Delivery Service Delivery of products directly to customers Commercial Lower Potency Hemp Sale of lower-potency hemp edible Commercial Retailer products directly to customers Cannabis Cultivator Growing and tending to cannabis and hemp Indoor: Industrial, plants Commercial, Production Outdoor: Agricultural Cannabis Event Organizer Coordinate cannabis events Office/Commercial

Cannabis Manufacturer Create cannabis products that are sold to Industrial retailers Lower-Potency Hemp Creating lower-potency hemp products that Industrial Edible Manufacturer are sold to retailers Cannabis Testing Testing cannabis and hemp products Industrial

Cannabis Wholesaler Warehousing and Storage Industrial
Cannabis Transporter Transport products from one license type Industrial/Commercial

to another. Medical Cannabis Cultivation, Manufacturing, and Retail to Cultivation, Manufacturing, & Combination Business both the public and medical patients. limited Retail

Cannabis Mezzobusiness Cultivation, Cultivation,

Manufacturing, and Retail Manufacturing, and Retail Cannabis Microbusiness Cultivation, Cultivation, Manufacturing, and Retail Manufacturing, and Retail

On-site consumption of drinks and beverages allowed with OCM approval.

KE200\1\993980.v1-12/6/24 41 III. BUFFERS

A. Cannabis Business Buffers from Certain Uses

A local unit of government may prohibit the operation of a cannabis business within:

1) 1,000 feet of a school; or 2) 500 feet of a day care, residential treatment facility, or an attraction within a public park that is regularly used by minors, including a playground or athletic field.

The terms school, day care, residential treatment facility, and attraction within a public park that is regularly used by minors, including a playground or athletic field are not further defined in statute or administrative rule, so the city has some discretion in defining these terms. The enclosed OCM guide includes some definitions that were drafted for the OCM's model ordinance (which is different than the administrative rules).

Questions: Is the City interested in adopting buffers for all cannabis businesses, certain cannabis businesses (e.g., retail) or no buffers?

If so, is the City interested in buffers from all or some of the identified establishments?

B. Buffers from Other Cannabis Businesses

While not explicitly listed in statute, the OCM proposes that cities could adopt requirements that cannabis businesses must be located a certain distance from each other.

Question: Is the City interested in adopting buffers between cannabis businesses?

C. Lower Potency Hemp Edible Buffers?

Businesses selling lower-potency hemp edibles, such as beverages and gummies, need to register with the City. While not explicitly addressed in statute, the City should be able to adopt regulations related to these businesses. These might include buffers, zone designation, etc. Cities may be able to also differentiate between hemp businesses selling for on-site consumption and those selling products for off-site consumption.

One comparison is that, from a regulatory standpoint, lower-potency hemp edibles are addressed similar to 3.2 beer, while cannabis products are addressed similar to liquor sales. Lower-potency hemp edibles and 3.2 beer can be sold in many different retail locations, while liquor and cannabis must be sold from a designated store.

Question: Is the City interested in adopting buffers for hemp businesses?

KE200\1\993980.v1-12/6/24 42 IV. REGISTRATION, COMPLIANCE CHECKS, & SOME OPERATIONS

The OCM reviews, approves, and issues cannabis and hemp business licenses. However, each retail business must also register with the city in which it will operate, unless the city has consented to the county issuing registrations on its behalf. A registration fee can be imposed in addition to the state fee.

By maintaining the authority to register retailers the city is retaining the ability to put an explicit cap on the number of cannabis retailers and suspend licenses but must conduct compliance checks.

A. Registrations

The registration process involves issuing a registration to a retail business that: (1) has a valid license issued by the OCM; (2) has paid the registration fee or renewal fee (if applicable); (3) is found to be in compliance with the requirements of the Cannabis Act at any preliminary compliance check; and (4) if applicable, is current on all property taxes and assessments.

Question: Does the City wish to issue registrations or ask the county to do it?

B. Registration Fee
Registration Fees by Business Type

The following shows the maximum amount the city could charge for an initial registration fee and renewal registration fee for retail businesses and includes the amount the state charges for a license, for reference.

The city's initial registration cannot exceed $500 or half of the license fee (whichever is less) and the renewal registration fee cannot exceed $1,000 or half of the license fee (whichever is less)

The initial registration fee shall include the fee for initial registration and the first annual renewal. Any renewal fee imposed by the local unit of government shall be charged at the time of the second renewal and each subsequent annual renewal thereafter. Business Initial Renewal Cannabis Retailer City (Optional) - $500; State - $2,500 City (Optional) - $1,000; State - $5,000

Lower Potency Hemp City (Optional) - $125; State - $250 City (Optional) - $125; State - $250 Retailer Medical Cannabis City (Optional) - $500; State - City (Optional) - $1,000; State - $70,000 Combination Business $20,000 Cannabis City (Optional) - $500; State - $5,000 City (Optional) - $1,000; State - $10,000 Mezzobusiness Cannabis City (Optional) - $0; State - $0 City (Optional) - $500; State - $1000 Microbusiness

Question: Does the City want to impose a registration fee?

KE200\1\993980.v1-12/6/24 43 C. Compliance Checks

Once the registration is issued, the entity issuing the registration is responsible for annual compliance checks that include assessing compliance with age verification requirements (using underage purchasers) and any city-imposed time, place, and manner regulations.

D. Limiting Number of Retailers

The specific language in the Cannabis Act allowing a limitation on the number of retailers in the City says that "[a] local unit of government that issues cannabis retailer registration…may, by ordinance, limit the number of licensed cannabis retailers, cannabis mezzo businesses with retail endorsements, and cannabis mezzo businesses with retail endorsements to no fewer than one registration for every 12,500 residents." Kenyon's estimated population is 1,916 (based on the most recent numbers from the State Demographer) so could limit the number of retailers to one.

Additionally, the City is not required to issue a municipal registration if other cities/the county have issued 1 registration per 12,5000 residents in the county.

Consenting to have the county issue registrations could mean that the county then has the ability to limit retailers within the county, not cities.

Question: Does the City wish to limit the number of retailers to 1 per 12,500 city residents? Does the City wish to not register retailers if there is already 1 registration per 12,500 county residents?

Note: Cities will receive a portion of the taxes imposed by the state as part of "local government cannabis aid". This aid will be distributed to cities based on the number of cannabis businesses (not just retailers) in the City.

E. Limiting Hours of Operation

Under statute, retail cannabis businesses may operate from 8:00 am-2:00 am Monday-Saturday and 10:00 am-2:00 am on Sunday. The City can limit the hours of operation to be between 10:00 am-9:00 pm. seven days a week. One option is to treat retailers the same as liquor stores.

Question: Does the City want to impose additional hours of operation limits?

F. Cannabis Events

A temporary cannabis event is a gathering organized by a licensed cannabis event organizer that may last for no more than four days.

KE200\1\993980.v1-12/6/24 44 The process for these events could generally follow the normal process for handling similar events, but the City could choose to require additional standards for temporary cannabis events, such as prohibiting on-site consumption, limiting the hours or the events, etc.

Question: Does the City want to consider additional standards for temporary cannabis events?

V. Next Steps

Any input provided will be used to draft the ordinances related to cannabis and hemp businesses. Zoning changes must go through the zoning amendment process, while the registration and operational ordinances will follow the general ordinance amendment process. If the OCM updates its draft administrative rules, we will update the City with any additional decision points.

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any additional questions or specific concerns. If the Council has additional specific questions, please let us know. Otherwise, we will draft ordinances for the city council and/or planning commission to review.

Introduction This guide serves as a general overview of Minnesota's new adult-use cannabis law, and how local governments can expect to be involved. The guide also provides important information about Minnesota's new Office of Cannabis Management (OCM), and the office's structure, roles, and responsibilities. While medical cannabis continues to play an important role in the state's cannabis environment, this guide is primarily focused on the adult-use cannabis law and marketplace. The following pages outline the variety of cannabis business licenses that will be issued, provide a broad summary of important aspects of the adult-use cannabis law, and cover a wide range of expectations and authorities that relate to local governments. This guide also provides best practices and important requirements for developing a local cannabis ordinance. Chapter 342 of Minnesota law was established by the State Legislature in 2023 and was updated in 2024. Mentions of "adult-use cannabis law" or "the law" throughout this guide refer to Chapter 342 and the changes made to it. As of this guide's date of publication, final state regulations governing the adult-use cannabis market have not yet been published. A draft of the rules is available on our Rulemaking webpage (https://mn.gov/ocm/laws/rulemaking.jsp). The first draft of rules is based on substantial input OCM has received through surveys, meetings, and conversations that took place since fall 2023, as well as OCM's review of Minnesota's cannabis statute and cannabis rules in other states. OCM will publish in the State Register a notice of intent to adopt rules, which will prompt a 30-day formal comment period. Watch the OCM website for updates.

This guide is not a substitute for legal advice, nor does it seek to provide legal advice. Local governments and municipal officials seeking legal advice should consult an attorney.

About OCM Minnesota's Office of Cannabis Management is the state regulatory office created to oversee the implementation and regulation of the adult-use cannabis market, the medical cannabis market, and the consumer hemp industry. Housed within OCM are the Division of Medical Cannabis (effective July 1, 2024), which operates the medical cannabis program, and the Division of Social Equity, which promotes development, stability, and safety in communities that have experienced a disproportionate, negative impact from cannabis prohibition and usage.

OCM, through Chapter 342, is tasked with establishing rules and policy and exercising its regulatory authority over the Minnesota cannabis industry. In its duties, OCM is mandated to:

• Promote public health and welfare. • Protect public safety. • Eliminate the illicit market for cannabis flower and cannabis products. • Meet the market demand for cannabis flower and cannabis products. • Promote a craft industry for cannabis flower and cannabis products. • Prioritize growth and recovery in communities that have experienced a disproportionate, negative impact from cannabis prohibition.

OCM governs the application and licensing process for cannabis and hemp businesses, specific requirements for each type of license and their respective business activities and conducts enforcement and inspection activities across the Minnesota cannabis and hemp industries.

Page 4

License Types Minnesota law allows for 13 different types of business licenses, each fulfilling a unique role in the cannabis and hemp supply chain. In addition to license types below, OCM will also issue endorsements to license holders to engage in specific activities, including producing, manufacturing, and sale of medical cannabis for patients.

Microbusiness Microbusinesses may cultivate cannabis and manufacture cannabis products and hemp products, and package such products for sale to customers or another licensed cannabis business. Microbusiness may also operate a single retail location.

Mezzobusiness Mezzobusinesses may cultivate cannabis and manufacture cannabis products and hemp products, and package such products for sale to customers or another licensed cannabis business. Mezzobusiness may also operate up to three retail locations.

Cultivator Cultivators may cultivate cannabis and package such cannabis for sale to another licensed cannabis business.

Manufacturer Manufacturers may manufacture cannabis products and hemp products, and package such products for sale to a licensed cannabis retailer.

Retailer Retailers may sell immature cannabis plants and seedlings, cannabis, cannabis products, hemp products, and other products authorized by law to customers and patients.

Wholesaler Wholesalers may purchase and/or sell immature cannabis plants and seedlings, cannabis, cannabis products, and hemp products from another licensed cannabis business. Wholesalers may also import hemp-derived consumer products and lower- potency hemp edibles.

Page 5

License Types (continued) Transporter Transporters may transport immature cannabis plants and seedlings, cannabis, cannabis products, and hemp products to licensed cannabis businesses.

Testing Facility

Testing facilities may obtain and test immature cannabis plants and seedlings, cannabis, cannabis products, and hemp products from licensed cannabis businesses.

Event Organizer

Event organizers may organize a temporary cannabis event lasting no more than four days.

Delivery Service

Delivery services may purchase cannabis, cannabis products, and hemp products from retailers or cannabis business with retail endorsements for transport and delivery to customers.

Medical Cannabis Combination Business

Medical cannabis combination businesses may cultivate cannabis and manufacture cannabis and hemp products, and package such products for sale to customers, patients, or another licensed cannabis business. Medical cannabis combination businesses may operate up to one retail location in each congressional district.

Lower-Potency Hemp Edible Manufacturer

Lower-potency hemp edible manufacturers may manufacture and package lower-potency hemp edibles for consumer sale, and sell hemp concentrate and lower-potency hemp edibles to other cannabis and hemp businesses.

Lower-Potency Hemp Edible Retailer

Lower-potency hemp edible retailers may sell lower-potency hemp edibles to customers.

Each license is subject to further restrictions on allowable activities. Maximum cultivation area and manufacturing allowances vary by license type. Allowable product purchase, transfer, and sale between licensees are subject to restrictions in the law.

Page 6

The Adult-Use Cannabis Law Minnesota's new adult-use cannabis law permits the personal use, possession, and transportation of cannabis by those 21 years of age and older, and allows licensed businesses to conduct cultivation, manufacturing, transport, delivery, and sale of cannabis and cannabis products.

Consumption not allowed in public. • Gifting cannabis to another individual over 21 years old is allowed, subject to possession limits. • Home cultivation is limited to four mature and four immature plants (eight total) in a single residence. Plants must be in an enclosed and locked space. • Home extraction using volatile substances (e.g., butane, ethanol) is not allowed. • Unlicensed sales are not allowed.

For Businesses

• Advertising: o May not include or appeal to those under 21 years old. o Must include proper warning statements. o May not include misleading claims or false statements. o Billboards are not allowed. • The flow of all products through the supply chain must be tracked by the state-authorized tracking system. • All products sold to consumers and patients must be tested for contaminants. • Home delivery is allowed by licensed businesses.

The Cannabis Licensing Process An applicant will take the following steps to proceed from application to active licensure. As described, processes vary depending on social equity status and/or whether the type of license being sought is capped or uncapped in the general licensing process.

License Preapproval: Early Mover Process for Social Equity

Applicants The license preapproval process is a one-time application process available for verified social equity applicants. State law required OCM to open the application window on July 24, 2024, and close the window on August 12, 2024. The preapproval process was available for the following license types, and all are capped in this process: microbusiness, mezzobusiness, cultivator, manufacturer, retailer, wholesaler, transporter, testing facility, and delivery service. High-Level Pathway to License Preapproval and Conversion to Business Licensure 1. Applicant's social equity applicant (SEA) status verified. 2. Applicant completes license preapproval application and submits application fees. 3. Application vetted for minimum requirements by OCM. 4. Application (if qualified) entered into lottery drawing. 5. If selected in lottery, applicant completes background check process and submits attestation of labor-peace agreement. 6. If applicant successfully completes Step 5, OCM issues license preapproval to applicant. 7. Applicants with license preapproval work with local governments to discuss zoning compliance, secure property, raise capital, etc., pursuant to Minnesota Session Laws 2024, Chapter 121, Article 2, section 148.* 8. Once rules are adopted and applicant is ready to move to next step in conversion, applicant with license preapproval* submits business location to OCM and updates application accordingly. 9. OCM forwards completed application to local government.

Page 8

The Cannabis Licensing Process (cont.) 10. Local government completes zoning certification of whether a proposed cannabis business complies with local zoning ordinances, and if applicable, whether the proposed business complies with state fire code and building code. (This is distinct from the retail registration approval process.) 11. OCM conducts site inspection. 12. If applicant successfully passes site inspection, OCM issues license, operations may commence except for retail activity. Continued High-Level Pathway for Licensees Seeking to Conduct Retail Sales: Process for Required Local Retail Registration from Local Governments (Retailer, Microbusiness, Mezzobusiness) 13. Licensed business seeks local retail registration from local government. 14. Local government approves applicant for retail registration through means determined by ordinance (see page 19 for more information about the retail registration process). 15. Applicant pays retail registration fee to the local government (see appendix for relevant fees in accordance with Minn. Stat., section 342.22). 16. Local government conducts compliance check for any applicable local ordinance established pursuant to Minn. Stat., section 342.13, if desired. 17. Local government ensures tax compliance, if applicable. 18. Local government issues retail registration to licensee. 19. Licensee is able to conduct retail sales now that they have received a state license and a local retail registration.

*Social equity applicants with license preapproval for microbusiness, mezzobusiness, or cultivator licenses may begin growing cannabis plants prior to the adoption of rules if OCM receives both a signed and completed Local Approval of Early Cultivation Form from the local government, and also a signed and completed Applicant Notice of Intent for Early Cultivation Form. "The Local Approval of Early Cultivation" form is available now and linked in the appendix. This is only applicable to cultivation and does not authorize retail sales or other endorsed activities of the licenses prior to the adoption of rules. OCM will share additional guidance related to the early cultivation opportunity and local governments' role in this distinct process.

Page 9

The Cannabis Licensing Process (cont.) The general licensing process will align with the adoption of rules and OCM will
