Dilworth council adopts fee schedule for cannabis retail businesses
Summary
City staff presented a resolution to add cannabis retail fees to the municipal fee schedule, aligning rates with nearby Moorhead; council discussed enforcement costs and approved Resolution 25-31 to set the fees.
The Dilworth City Council adopted Resolution 25-31 to set fees for cannabis retail businesses and related licenses, adding the fees to the municipal schedule ahead of likely future applications.
Staff said the fees were benchmarked against nearby Moorhead and other county rates. "This matches what their rates are," Peyton said, noting staff had consulted regional practice and will continue to monitor enforcement costs and administrative time.
Councilmembers asked whether the city should set a review interval to revisit fees if enforcement costs prove higher than anticipated. One councilmember recalled the county’s decision to re-evaluate fees in two years; staff committed to annual fee review and to track staff time and public-safety resource implications.
On a motion and second, the council approved the fee schedule on a voice vote. Staff said the fees will be entered into the city’s fee schedule and implemented at the end of the year as part of the official schedule update.
