1. Cannabis Licensing Discussion
City Administrator Nafstad reported that the City’s currently has a cannabis ordinance in place.
He stated that the City has entered into a Joint Powers Agreement with Wright County, under
which the County was responsible for registering cannabis business, while the licensing was
managed by the State. Administrator Nafstad reported the City’s responsibilities include
establishing zoning regulations and assisting the County with setback requirements. He noted the
City has designated specific areas as eligible for cannabis-related businesses and has adopted an
ordinance that outlined the required setbacks for these businesses. He responded to questions
form Council.
Mr. Felix Langford, owner of The Smoke Shop, addressed the Council to provide an update on
the status of his State’s cannabis license application. He reported that he has received
preliminary approval from the State for a micro license with a retail endorsement and was
completing the next steps necessary to finalize the license. Mr. Langford explained that one of
the required steps was to engage with local government to ensure compliance with zoning
regulations and to confirm that the proposed site aligns with City requirements. He further stated
that once all final documents were submitted, the Office of Cannabis Management would contact
the City and at that time, the City would have 30 days to respond and certify whether the
proposed cannabis business complied. Mr. Landford noted if no response was received within 30
days, the State may proceed with issuing the license.
City Attorney Couri provided additional information on the cannabis ordinance and answered
questions from Council regarding the zoning requirements for cannabis businesses.
City Clerk Luedke answered questions from Council and reported she has contacted the
County’s licensing department regarding the City’s cannabis ordinance.
There was Council discussion regarding the City’s cannabis ordinance and the process for
issuing a cannabis registration. Councilmembers expressed support for Mr. Langford obtaining
the City’s only cannabis registration, siting his long-standing engagement with the City. Mr.
Langford was the first individual to obtain a THC license in the City of Albertville.
2. City Administrator’s Update - Verbal
City Administrator Nafstad reported he had received an email from the Albertville Lions Club
indicating their desire to donate $15,000 toward the construction of the Central Park Plaza Wall.
He said as part of the donation, the Lions Club requested that a plague be placed on the wall in
recognition of the contribution. Administrator Nafstad noted that the City does not currently have
a formal policy in place regarding recognition for City amenities and asked whether the Council

and acknowledged the organization’s long-standing contributions to the City. The Council’s

SUBJECT: CONSENT – PUBLIC WORKS – LINWOOD PARK TENNIS COURT
FENCING
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following motion:
MOTION TO: Approve quote from Century Fence Company in the amount of $34,844 for new
fencing and its installation at Linwood Park.
BACKGROUND: In September 2024, the City sent out quotes for park improvements for
Linwood Park Sports Court. The proposed budget for the complete project was $73,000. Part of
the project included the Public Works Department removal of the old fencing and having it
replaced. Other improvements included milling and paving of the sports court and the purchase
of new basketball hoops and foundations.
KEY ISSUES:
The quoted amount is $34,844 for a 10 ft high chain link fence and installation of it for
the Linwood Sports Court. The quote also includes the posts for the tennis courts.
The vinyl coated fencing will be black.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The fencing and its installation will be paid for using
budgeted park maintenance funds.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and Council possess the authority to authorize park
improvements, and to accept or reject quotes for park improvements.

SUBJECT: LEGAL – REPEALOF TITLE 4, CHAPTER 10 OF THE ALBERTVILLE
CITYCODE–THCPRODUCTS
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and City Council consider
the following:
MOTION TO Adopt Ordinance No. 2025-03 Repealing Title 4, Chapter 10 of the Albertville
City Code, Titled “Tetrahydrocannabinol Products” and approve the Summary Ordinance for
publication.
BACKGROUND: In 2022, the City adopted Title 4, Chapter 10 of the City Code in response to
changes in state law authorizing the limited sale of THC products. Since then, the regulatory
landscape has changed significantly. In 2023, the Minnesota Legislature adopted a
comprehensive regulatory framework for cannabis and cannabinoid products in Minnesota
Statutes Chapter 342, which includes detailed provisions for licensing, sales, testing, packaging,
and enforcement. These state regulations supersede the City’s ordinance and have effectively
rendered the ordinance obsolete.
Following this, the City adopted Title 4, Chapter 12 of the City Code (“Cannabis Retail Business
Registration”) and made corresponding amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to ensure local
land use consistency. Together, these actions have rendered Title 4, Chapter 10 duplicative and
unnecessary.
Repealing this chapter will streamline the City Code and eliminate any potential inconsistencies
or confusion related to overlapping regulations.
KEY ISSUES:
The City’s original THC ordinance was adopted as an interim regulatory measure.
Comprehensive state law now governs THC and cannabis product regulation, preempting
and/or duplicating local provisions.
The City has adopted updated code provisions (Title 4, Chapter 12) and zoning controls
to address cannabis businesses under the new law.
Repealing Title 4, Chapter 10 ensures consistency and clarity in the City’s regulatory
framework.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: Removing outdated or redundant provisions
from the City Code reduces the risk of enforcement confusion and keeps the City’s regulations
aligned with current state law and policy objectives.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no direct financial implications anticipated with
the repeal. Indirectly, it may reduce administrative burden or legal risk related to inconsistent or
duplicative local regulations.
Agenda Page 22

Legal – Repeal City Code – THC Products Page 2 of 2
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The repeal is recommended by the City Attorney as a necessary
step to ensure the City Code is consistent with Minnesota Statutes Chapter 342 and avoids
conflicts with state preemption in this area.

ORDINANCE NO. 2025-03
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ALBERTVILLE CITY CODE TO REPEAL
TITLE 4, CHAPTER 10, “TETRAHYDROCANNABINOL PRODUCTS”
WHEREAS, in 2022, the Minnesota Legislature amended Minnesota Statutes section
151.72 to authorize the limited sale of certain products containing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC),
prompting the City of Albertville to adopt Title 4, Chapter 10 of the City Code to regulate such
sales at the local level; and
WHEREAS, in 2023, the Minnesota Legislature adopted Minnesota Statutes Chapter
342, creating a comprehensive regulatory framework for cannabis and cannabinoid products,
including provisions for licensing, packaging, testing, retail sale, and enforcement; and
WHEREAS, the City of Albertville subsequently adopted Chapter 12 of the City Code,
entitled “Cannabis Retail Business Registration,” to establish local registration requirements for
cannabis businesses operating within the City in accordance with state law; and
WHEREAS, the City’s Zoning Ordinance has also been amended to regulate the
location, use, and operation of cannabis-related businesses to ensure consistency with local land
use policies and the comprehensive plan; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the provisions of Title 4, Chapter 10 are now
duplicative of state law and other provisions of the City Code, and that continued inclusion of
Title 4, Chapter 10 may lead to confusion or conflict with applicable regulatory frameworks; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the repeal of Title 4, Chapter 10 serves the
public interest by improving clarity, removing redundancy, and ensuring that the City Code
remains consistent with current law.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ALBERTVILLE, MINNESOTA:
1. Title 4, Chapter 10 of the Albertville City Code, titled “Tetrahydrocannabinol Products,”
is hereby repealed in its entirety. All sections and provisions previously contained in Title
4, Chapter 10 are hereby deleted and shall be of no further force or effect.
2. This ordinance shall take effect upon its passage by the City Council and publication in
accordance with applicable law.
