number of parking spaces available at the boat launch. She stated that Public Works will be

may be available. She stated that there will be an article in the next City newsletter as well as

Planning Director Darling noted that the Star and Tribune has had a few articles on the State
legislature's adoption of a new law that will allow edibles and beverages with THC to be sold in
Minnesota. She stated that the legislation allowed for local control over zoning regulations and
licensing regulations. She stated that staff is recommending that the City put in place a
moratorium on retail sales of any kind of hemp related THC products until there is appropriate
regulations in place similar to what they have for alcohol and tobacco.

already started discussing this moratorium and the proposed ordinance.
There was consensus of the Council to place this on a future agenda.

Planning Director Darling explained that the project had been split into two phases with the first
taking place last fall with the installation of the playground structure. She explained that there
had been some shipping delays for some of the parts, but believes the last box just arrived. She
stated that the contractor should be resolving the last issues to get the hillside slides into place
and gave an overview of some of the remaining features that will be added, including a handrail
on the retaining wall. She noted that she was hopeful that the work on Silverwood Park will be
completed by the end of the month.
Councilmember Callies explained that, to her, it looks a bit dangerous at the park and asked if the
City should put any signage in place.
Planning Director Darling stated that she would work with Public Works Director Brown to take a
look and get something installed.

with department heads regarding the 2023 budget. He stated that he expected the proposed 2023

Operating and Coordinating Committee meetings on July 20, 2022.
