Nobles County approves Joint Powers Agreement to administer cannabis regulation for Round Lake
Summary
The board approved a Joint Powers Agreement that enables Nobles County to administer and regulate certain cannabis activities for cities that opt in; the City of Round Lake was added as a partner under the agreement.
Nobles County approved a Joint Powers Agreement Nov. 19 that allows the county to administer and regulate cannabis-related activities on behalf of participating cities.
County Attorney Braden Hoefert introduced the agreement as a mechanism for cities to turn to the county for administration and regulation under the State of Minnesota’s evolving cannabis regulatory framework. The minutes record that several cities within the county had returned agreements indicating intent to join; the City of Round Lake was the most recent request and the board voted to approve the Joint Powers Agreement, with the motion moved by Commissioner Bob Paplow and seconded by Commissioner Gene Metz.
The minutes do not include the specific regulatory terms to be enforced under the JPA nor fee schedules or implementation dates; the action authorizes the county to provide services per the JPA to cities that choose to participate.
