Announcements. Do any councilors have an announcement tonight? Not tonight? I'd like to bring up National Night Out tomorrow night right next door at the police department complex at 4:30. A chance for the community to get together. Um, we have no public hearings, no communications to mention. The presentations or the swearing-in of new officers was earlier, and a slight community recreation presentation on the Victor Field possibilities. We'll now move to public discussion. Is there anyone present or online [1:08] who wishes to address the council about any item not on the agenda? [1:19] **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Any member of the public wishes to address the council, please state your name and address for the record. [1:33] **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Is there any public input for this council this evening? We'll move to item nine: the consent agenda, minutes, and accounts payable. Do we have a motion? **Councilor Nelson:** Motion. **Councilor John Geissler:** Second. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Motion by Councilor Nelson, second by Councilor Geissler. Roll call please. **City Clerk Alissa McClure:** Councilor Geissler? **Councilor John Geissler:** Aye. **City Clerk Alissa McClure:** Councilor Nelson? **Councilor Nelson:** Aye. **City Clerk Alissa McClure:** Councilor Peterson? **Councilor Joe Peterson:** Aye. **City Clerk Alissa McClure:** Mayor Boucher? **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Aye. Ordinances, item A: Ordinance 2022-09, an ordinance declaring a temporary moratorium on edible cannabinoid products derived from hemp within the city of Hermantown. Do we have a motion? **Councilor Nelson:** Motion to approve. **Councilor Joe Peterson:** Second. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Motion by Councilor Nelson, second by Councilor Peterson. [2:19] Mr. Mulder, would you want our City Attorney to address this? **City Administrator John Mulder:** Well, I can just say this is a six-month moratorium just to deal with the legislative change that allows for the sale of these edible items. We just want to kind of get a handle on what the approach the city wants to take on, to what extent, if any, we want to regulate those sales. **City Attorney:** No, I think that covers it well. And also, even though the agenda says this is the first reading, this is the only reading and the ordinance will go into effect at the end of the meeting or as soon as it's approved. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Do you have any questions or comments from council? [3:05] Personally, I think it's good that we take a step back and look at this just to see if everything's headed in the right direction. Um, is there any public comment on this Ordinance 2022-09? [3:22] **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** If there's any public comment on this ordinance, please state your name and address for the record. This will be the last opportunity for public comment on Ordinance 2022-09.

It just kind of regulates how we'll use that data and how we will respond to requests if necessary um about that data. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Thank you. Any questions or comments? And this is in response to a state statute that was just changed and went into effect July 1st? **City Administrator John Mulder:** That's correct. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** And we need this policy to take advantage of that opportunity.

Mr. Mulder? **City Administrator John Mulder:** This is just an update to our existing policy in the Police Department.

Mr. Mulder? **City Administrator John Mulder:** Again, we have data practice act procedures for the City Hall side of things, which does not include some of the mental health stuff we talked about with the Police Department.

Do we have a motion? **Councilor Nelson:** Motion to approve. **Councilor John Geissler:** Second. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Motion by Councilor Nelson, second by Councilor Geissler. Mr. Mulder? **City Administrator John Mulder:** So as you recall, we had the development agreement and assessment agreements and a business subsidy agreement with [10:16] KTJ 360. Because they're changing their way they handle things on a kind of corporate organizational level, we need to change these documents to allow them to assign that to another corporate entity. But that way we maintain all of their obligations and the paperwork that needs to be recorded and used for financing all match so that we're just kind of updating the paperwork. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Thank you.
