Summary

Council approved amendments to Ordinance 72 so the city may accept preliminary approval from OCM to complete local registration, updating local code to conform with 2025 state law changes.

City staff presented amendments to Ordinance 72 updating Waite Park’s regulations for cannabis and hemp retail businesses and temporary cannabis events to reflect 2025 state law changes.

Staff explained the primary change allows the city to accept preliminary license approval from OCM (Office of Cannabis Management) to complete local registration rather than requiring a full OCM license before local registration. Council moved, seconded and approved the ordinance amendments by voice vote.

The amendment was described as technical updating to conform local registration procedures with recent state changes; no additional conditions or local restrictions were recorded in the meeting transcript. The council did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript.
