Edible Cannabinoids Wietecha introduced the reason that this topic is on the agenda is due to recent state legislation allowing sale of certain edibles infused with THC. Cities are approaching this topic from many directions. Putting this on the agenda is to determine if the Council has interest in exploring regulations around this topic. It is recommended that the discussion be send to the Public Safety Committee of Council.

Employment is another area for review. Review of the licensing and possible revenue generation could be referred to the Public Safety Advisory Commission. Further discussion on timing of this review as there are likely already sellers in the City.
