Shakopee City Council
February 20, 2024
FROM: Nate Reinhardt, Finance Director
TO: Mayor and Council Members
Subject:
Monthly Financial Review - January 2024
Policy/Action Requested:
Review of January 2024 General Fund revenues and expenditures, and Community Center,
Ice Arena and SandVenture year -over -year comparison.
Recommendation:
Information only
Discussion:
General Fund - January 2024 (see attachment)
This early in the year, the timing of one of two large receipts or payments tend to skew the
variances.
Revenue variances (8% target)
• Intergovernmental is currently tracking ahead of budget targets as a result of the city
receiving a partial municipal state aid allocation for street maintenance of $312k. in
January.
Expenditure variances (8% target)
• All departmental expenditures are within the normal range and similar to last year's
percentage through January.
Community Center/Ice Arena/SandVenture - January 2024 (see attachment)
Similar to the analysis of the City's General Fund, reviewing revenue and expenditures early
in the year can be easily skewed depending upon what type of transactions did or did not
occur. At this point in the year variances for SandVenture, Ice Arena and Community
Page 10 of 680
Center are minimal.

This latest request includes land in Scott County and the City of Prior Lake and
encompasses 815 acres in total. The parcels are mostly prairie, woodlands, farmland with
some residential structures.
Budget Impact:
If approved by the BIA, the action of placing the parcels into trust would have an impact of
reducing actual tax dollars by $103,000.54 in 2024, which would have to be incorporated
into the taxes of the city's remaining parcels. This tax income will be permanently removed
from future tax receipts.

Project Description/Proposed Land Use:
The Midwest Regional Office has under consideration an application for the transfer of real
property held by the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community to be transferred to the United
States in trust for the benefit of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community.
The Inkpata location and physical characteristics of the subject parcels are uniquely suitable for
natural area preservation as the parcels contain little development, remnant forest lands, some
agricultural lands, some agricultural lands, quality wetlands, and endangered plant life. The
Inkpata parcels will be utilized to preserve these types of resources within the Tribe's land
base, which enhances Tribal Member access to natural areas and contributes to the
community's overall wellbeing. The Tribe is meeting its responsibility to maintain and
preserve Dakota culture by preserving and promoting habitat diversity among its land for both
current and future generations. Additionally, areas within the subject parcels will be utilized as
a natural buffer area between the Tribe and the rapid urbanization occurring in Scott County.
Page 28 of 680
In addition to the natural features, the Inkpata parcels contain 4 single-family homes as well as
11 total storage buildings. The storage facilities are currently used for tribal government
storage of Land and Building Maintenance, Public Works, and Natural Resource Departmental
equipment and tools.
As indicated above, the purpose for seeking your comments regarding the proposed trust land
acquisition is to obtain sufficient data that would enable an analysis of the potential impact on
local/state government, which may result from the removal of the subject property from the tax
roll and local jurisdiction.
This notice does not constitute, or replace, a notice that might be issued for the purpose of
compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969.
Your written comments should be addressed to the Bureau of Indian Affairs office listed at the
top of this notice. Any comments received within thirty days of your receipt of this notice will
be considered and made a part of our record. You may be granted one thirty -day extension of
time to furnish comments, provided you submit a written justification requesting such an
extension within thirty days of receipt of this letter. Additionally, copies of all comments will
be provided to the applicant for a response. You will be notified of the decision to approve or
deny the application.
If any party receiving this notice is aware of additional governmental entities that may be
affected by the subject acquisition, please forward a copy to said party.
A copy of the application, excluding any documentation exempted under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA), is available for review at the above address. A request to make an
appointment to review the application, or questions regarding the application, may be directed
to Wylie Redwing, Realty Specialist, Division of Fee to Trust, via email at

Previously, the BIA has stated in regard to placing land in trust that, "Simply removing a
property from the tax rolls does not automatically increase the millage rate on other properties
within the taxing jurisdiction; action is required by the local government. The burden of
demonstrating an adverse financial impact lies with the local government." [Thurston County,
Nebraska v. Great Plains Regional Director, BIA, 56 IBIA 296 at 312 (2013)]. However, this

Page 32 of 680
response is not appropriate to applications within Minnesota; as Minnesota does not have a
millage rate system.
Removal of this property from the tax rolls will have an automatic impact upon Shakopee
taxpayers for the following reasons:
1. Minnesota has a unique property taxing system. Property taxes are calculated based
upon the total tax capacity within the taxing jurisdiction — not through a legislatively
established millage rate.
2. The property tax rate is calculated by dividing the dollar amount levied by the total tax
capacity.
3. The tax capacity is established via the taxable market value.
4. Under Minnesota's property tax system action is not required by the local government;
simply removing the properties from the tax rolls will automatically spread the tax
burden to the other taxpayers within the City; by reducing the taxable market value
and tax capacity; thereby increasing the tax rate calculation.
Since 2000, the BIA has added 2,499.72 acres into trust on behalf of the SMSC in Scott County.
This application seeks another 815 acres. This particular proposed addition is more than the
total 760.33 acres the SMSC had held in trust in 2000. The impact upon our residents is real;
they have to pay more taxes to fill in the gaps made by property removed from tax rolls through
this process.
If you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

RESOLUTION R2024-023
RESOLUTION DENYING AN APPLICATION FOR A THC LICENSE FOR
TOP STAR MARKET, LLC
WHEREAS, Sinbed Adel Manasra on behalf of Top Star Market, LLC (collectively, the
"Applicant") submitted an application for a THC License pursuant to city of Shakopee ("the City")
City Code, Sections 110.001-110.013 (General Licensing, Permit, and Inspection Procedures General
Provisions) and 110.200-110.212 (Tetrahydrocannabinol Products) ("License Regulations", which
are included as Exhibit A); and
WHEREAS, the License Regulations provide the basis for denial of a license including:
1) City Code, Section 110.003 (E). The Council may, for any reasonable cause, refuse to grant
any application, or revoke any license. No license shall be granted to a person of
questionable moral character or business reputation.
2) City Code, Section 110.203(B)(8). The Applicant has had a Comparable License Violation in
the previous 3 years.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Shakopee (the "City Council") has considered
the matter and makes the following Findings of Fact and Conclusions:
FINDINGS OF FACT
Background
1. On August 16, 2022, the City Council adopted an interim ordinance establishing a moratorium
on the sale of "Cannabis Products" within the City (the "Moratorium", which is included as
Exhibit B).
2. On November 17, 2022 , the City conducted a compliance check and found the Applicant was
selling Cannabis Products that contained THC in violation of the Moratorium. The Applicant
was ordered to remove the Cannabis Products. The report of the police department is included
as Exhibit C. The photo taken during the November 17, 2023 compliance check is included
as Exhibit D.
3. Exhibit D shows products that are labeled as being "cannabis" and "marijuana," which were
not legal to sell in 2022, and a number of products described as "prerolls" containing THC or
THC derivatives. Additionally, Exhibit D shows: (a) products that contain more than the
maximum allowed amount of THC per serving and per package; and (b) edible cannabinoid
products that bear a likeness or contain cartoon -like characteristics of a real or fictional person,
animal, or fruit which appeals to children or are modeled after a brand of products primarily
consumed by or marketed to children. All of which are violations of Minnesota Statutes,
Section 151.72, subd. 5a, which is included as Exhibit E.
SH155-23CC-933698.v2
1
Page 40 of 680
4. On November 30, 2022, the City conducted follow-up compliance checks and a plain -clothed
enforcement official purchased products containing delta-8 and delta-10 THC that violated
both the Moratorium and Minnesota Statutes, Section 151.72 ("Noncompliant Products").
5. The Noncompliant Products were gummies containing delta-8 and delta-10 hemp -derived
THC in the following amounts: 70 servings per container; 50 mg of THC per serving; and
total THC of 1,750mg. See Exhibit F.
Violation of Moratorium
6. The Moratorium establishes in the recitals that edible cannabinoid products were allowed
under Minnesota Statutes, Section 151.72 through Minnesota Laws 2022, Chapter 98, which
was became effective July 1, 2022 (the "Act").
7. The Moratorium provides: "A moratorium is imposed within the City regarding the sale of
Cannabis Products. No business, person, or entity may sell Cannabis Products to the public
within the jurisdictional boundaries of the City during the period that this Ordinance is in
effect."
8. The Noncompliant Products were subject to the Moratorium because they were edible
cannabinoid products as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 151.72. Selling the
Noncompliant Products was a violation of the Moratorium and resulted in a failed compliance
check.
9. The Board of Pharmacy was the state agency designated to enforce the Act. The Board of
Pharmacy's position is that certain edible cannabinoid products were not lawful to sell prior
to July 1, 2022, including specifically products that included intoxicating cannabinoids.
Additionally, the Board of Pharmacy, referring to Minnesota Statutes, Section 151.72
(included as Exhibit G), concluded: "If the Legislature wished to legalize the sale and
possession of products containing A-8 THC, which is intoxicating, those sections would also
need to be modified." See Minnesota Board of Pharmacy Report to the Legislature on
Changes the Board Proposes to Make to the Controlled Substance Schedules Maintained by
the Board in Minnesota Rules, which is included as Exhibit H.
10. The violation for selling Noncompliant Products was forwarded to the Scott County
Attorney's Office for prosecution as a misdemeanor. Without consulting the City, the Scott
County attorney's office moved to dismiss the case on October 9, 2023. In the pleadings
submitted to the District Court, included as Exhibit I, the Applicant argued that products
containing delta-8 and delta-10 THC were not subject to the Moratorium — that is not a correct
statement of the law. Even if the statement was correct, the Moratorium specifically includes
edible cannabinoid products. Additionally, the products being sold were not compliant with
Minnesota Statutes, Section 151.72.
11. The City sent the Applicant a letter on December 5, 2022 informing the Applicant that the
"City of Shakopee has elected NOT to impose civil penalties for violating the Moratorium
however the police reports have been sent to the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy." The letter

is included as Exhibit J. The Applicant knew that the City considered the failed compliance
check a violation of the Moratorium.
Violation of State Law
12. At the time of the failed compliance check, Minnesota Statutes, Section 151.72, subd. 3 & 7
provided that an edible cannabinoid product may not contain an amount of THC that is higher
than five milligrams in a single serving, or more than a total of 50 milligrams in a package.
Minnesota Statutes, Section 151.72, subd. 3 and 7. The Noncompliant Product contained
serving sizes of 35 milligrams (seven times greater and a 600% increase over the compliant
products)and total THC of 1750 per package (35 times greater and a 3,400% increase over
compliant products).
13. The manufacturer of the Noncompliant Products includes a disclaimer on its website that its
products are not for sale in Minnesota. See Exhibit K.
14. The City filed a complaint with the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy on December 2, 2022. See
Exhibit L. The City did not hear back from the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy. In 2023,
enforcement of Minnesota Statutes, Section 151.72 transitioned to the Minnesota Depat tuient
of Health.
Failed Compliance Check Results in License Denial
15. The License Regulations provide that grounds for denial include " the applicant has had a
Comparable License Violation in the previous 3 years."
16. A Comparable License Violation is defined in the License Regulations as: "Any failure by an
applicant, or an applicant's associated business that own's, holds, owned or held a license
issued by a governmental entity, of a compliance check or inspection, or violation of another
law (including but not limited the Moratorium on THC sales) or regulation related to the sale
of THC, a THC license, or a tobacco, tobacco products, and tobacco -related devices license
issued under Section 110.055, et seq."
17. The Applicant failed compliance checks conducted by the City on November 17, 2022 and
again on November 30, 2022.
18. On October 17, 2022, the Applicant failed a compliance check related to an associated
business, Nicollet Tobacco, LLC (which lists Mr. Manasra as the registered agent, manager,
and licensee for both Nicollet Tobacco, LLC and Top Star, LLC — See Exhibit M), for sales
of tobacco, tobacco products, and tobacco -related to a minor. Pursuant to City Council
Resolution No. , the City Council denied the THC license application for Nicollet
Tobacco, LLC.
19. The Applicant sold edible cannabinoid products that were prohibited during the period of the
Moratorium. The Applicant was informed during the compliance check on November 17,
2023 that the products were not allowed. The Applicant chose to continue selling
3
Page 42 of 680
noncompliant products and sold noncompliant products to a plain -clothes officer on
November 30, 2023. The Noncompliant Products that the Applicant continued to sell included
more than seven times the allowed amount of THC per serving and thirty-five times the
allowed amount of THC per package. The City finds that the Applicant, even after being
informed of his violation continued to sell noncompliant products (the manufacturer of which
states are not legal to sell in Minnesota) that included THC in amounts vastly in excess of
what was allowed at the time of the violation.
20. It is clear that the Applicant sold products containing THC that were not allowed to be sold
on November 30, 2022. The actions of the Scott County Attorney's office made without
consulting the City and the failure of the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy to document or
enforce unlawful sales of THC products should not result in a loophole through which the
Applicant can now claim that a THC License must be granted.
CONCLUSIONS
21. The Applicant failed compliance checks completed by the City on November 17, 2022 and
November 30, 2022. These failures are Comparable License Violations because they are
violations of the Moratorium.
22. The Applicant sold edible cannabinoid products on November 30, 2022 during the period of
the Moratorium when such sales were prohibited. This violation is a Comparable License
Violation.
23. The Applicant sold edible cannabinoid products on November 30, 2022 that were not
compliant with Minnesota Statutes, Section 151.72. This is a violation of state law.
24. The Applicant has a Comparable License Violation resulting from sales to a minor at Nicollet
Tobacco, LLC, on October 17, 2022. Nicollet Tobacco, LLC is owned and operated by
Sinbed Adel Manasra, the Applicant. This is a Comparable License Violation.
25. The Applicant sold Noncompliant Products that the Applicant had been informed were not
allowed during the period of the Moratorium. Those products contained more than seven
times the allowed amount of THC per serving and thirty-five times the allowed amount of
THC per package. The serious differences between the legally allowed products and the
Noncompliant Products combined with the Applicant's actual knowledge that the
Noncompliant Products were not allowed to be sold constitutes reasonable cause to deny the
THC License in the interest of protecting the public health, safety and welfare.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SHAKOPEE that based on the above Findings of Fact and Conclusions, the Applicant's request for
a THC License is DENIED.

A. The city irecogniiz s that, based on the irrnost relliiablle and up-to-date sciientliifiic evidence, the

ORDINANCE NO. 2022 - 021
AN INTERIM ORDINANCE IMPOSING A
MORATORIUM ON THE SALE OF CANNABIS PRODUCTS AND AUTHORIZING
STUDIES REGARDING SUCH PRODUCTS
The City Council of the City of Shakopee, Minnesota ordains:
Section 1. Legislative Findings and Authority
(A) There is a great deal of uncertainty regarding the effect of Minnesota Laws 2022,
Chapter 98 amending Minnesota Statutes, section 151.72 (the "Act") to allow the
sale of edible cannabinoid products ("Cannabis Products").
(B) Because the proposal to allow the sale of Cannabis Products received little publicity
until the Act went into effect on July 1, 2022, the City of Shakopee did not have an
opportunity to study and consider the potential impacts of the Act or to engage in
policy discussions regarding the potential regulation of the sale of Cannabis
Products in the City.
(C) The Act authorizes the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy to enforce the Act, but the Act
does not provide for any licensing of businesses that manufacture Cannabis Products
or of businesses that sell Cannabis Products and is also silent regarding the
enactment of local regulations related to Cannabis Products.
(D) The Act does not expressly prohibit or limit local regulations, but the regulations
established in the Act clearly do not constitute the Legislature having occupied the
field of regulation regarding the sale of Cannabis Products.
(E) The City Council finds the uncertainties associated with the sale of Cannabis
Products, as well as the options of local regulation, strongly suggests the need for a
study to develop information the City Council may use related to potential regulation
of the sale of Cannabis Products through the adoption of licensing and zoning
controls.
(F) Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 462.355, subdivision 4(a), the City Council
is authorized to adopt an interim ordinance "to regulate, restrict, or prohibit any use
... within the jurisdiction or a portion thereof for a period not to exceed one year
from the date it is effective."
(G) The City Council is also authorized as part of its general police powers to adopt
business licensing requirements related to the sale of Cannabis Products.
1
HBIT B-1
(H) The Minnesota Supreme Court in Almquist v. Town of Marshan, 245 N.W.2d 819
(Minn. 1976) upheld the enactment of a moratorium despite the lack of express
statutory authority as being a power inherent in a broad grant of power to
municipalities. The enactment of business licensing requirements is based on a
city's police powers, which is the broadest grant of power to cities. Inherent in that
broad grant of authority is the power to place a temporary moratorium on a business
to study and potentially implement licensing regulations on that business.
(I) There are both licensing and zoning issues associated with the sale of Cannabis
Products. The City Council determines that it needs time to study the matter and to
consider the development and adoption of appropriate local regulations. To protect
the planning process and the health, safety, and welfare of the residents while the
City conducts its study and the City Council engages in policy discussions regarding
possible regulations, the City Council determines it is in the best interests of the City
to impose a temporary moratorium on the sale of Cannabis Products.
Section 2. Definitions. For the purposes of this Ordinance, the following words, terms, and
phrases shall have the meanings given them in this section.
(A) "Act" means 2022 Minnesota Session Laws, Chapter 98 (H.F. No. 4065), amending
Minnesota Statutes, section 151.72.
(B) "Cannabis Products" means Edible Cannabinoid Product and any other product that
became lawful to sell for the first time in Minnesota effective July 1, 2022, as a result
of the adoption of the Act.
(C) "Edible Cannabinoid Product" has the same meaning given the term in Minnesota
Statutes, section 151.72, subdivision 1(c).
Section 3. Study. The City Council authorizes and directs the city administrator to conduct a
study regarding Cannabis Products and provide a report to the City Council on the potential
regulations relating to the sale of such products. The report shall include recommendations on
whether the City Council should adopt regulations and, if so, the recommended types of
regulations. The study shall consider, but is not limited to, the following:
(A) The potential impacts of the sale of Cannabis Products within the City;
(B) Licensing the sale of Cannabis Products and related regulations; and
(C) Zoning regulations related to the sale and distribution of Cannabis Products.
Section 4. Moratorium. A moratorium is imposed within the City regarding the sale of Cannabis
Products. No business, person, or entity may sell Cannabis Products to the public within the
jurisdictional boundaries of the City during the period that this Ordinance is in effect. The City
shall not accept, process, or act on any application, site plan, building permit, or zoning or other
2
PI IBIT B-2
approval for a business proposing to engage in the sale of Cannabis Products during the period that
this Ordinance is in effect.
Section 5. Exceptions. The moratorium imposed by this Ordinance does not apply to the sale of
medical cannabis or hemp products that were lawful to sell prior to the effective date of the Act.
Section 6. Enforcement. Violation of this Ordinance is a misdemeanor. In addition, the City
may enforce this Ordinance by mandamus, injunction, or other appropriate civil remedy in any
court of competent jurisdiction.
Section 7. Effective Date and Term. This Ordinance is effective upon adoption and publication
in the City's official newspaper. This Ordinance shall remain in effect until December 31, 2022,
or until the City Council expressly repeals it or until the effective date of an ordinance amending
the City Code to address Cannabis Products, whichever occurs first.
Section S. Severability. Every section, provision, and part of this Ordinance is declared severable
from every other section, provision, and part of this Ordinance. If any section, provision, or part
of this Ordinance is held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such judgment shall
not invalidate any other section, provision, or part of this Ordinance.
Passed in regular session of the City Council of the City of Shakopee, Minnesota held on the 16th
day of August 2022.

INITIAL REPORT

Audio Stmt: N Photos: Y Squad Video: N - Sqd # Body Camera: N
On 11/17/2022, Shakopee Officers conducted THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) compliance checks for
businesses in the City of Shakopee.
On 8/16/2022, the Shakopee City Council adopted Resolution R2022-108 which established City
Ordinance 2022-021.
Per section 4 of the city ordinance: "No business, person, or entity may sell Cannabis Products to the
public within the jurisdictional boundaries of the City during the period of that this Ordinance is in
effect."
Per Minnesota State Statute 151.72; Edible Cannabinoid Products are defined as "Any product that is
intended to be eaten or consumed as a beverage by humans, contains a cannabinoid in combination
with food ingredients, and is not a drug."
The ordinance was established on August 16th, 2022 and remains in effect until December 31st, 2022.
On 11/16/2022, I was made aware of an inspection completed by Scott County between November 7th
and l lth in the City of Shakopee. According to Scott County - Top Star Market was in violation of
the ordinance by actively selling THC edible products. The notes from the Scott County state: "This
location is currently selling Delta 8 and Delta 9 THC gummies. Possible that they are selling more
cannabinoids variant THC gummies, but did not show them. They plan to continue selling until
someone enforces it"
On 11/17/2022 at approximately 0915 hours, Officer Filan, Officer Godfrey and I, Sergeant Davis
went into Top Star Market and confirmed the active sales of multiple forms of THC/CBD edible
products. All three Officers were wearing plain clothes. Photos were taken of the products and are
attached to this report.
I identified myself as a police officer and showed the employee by badge. I provided the employee
with a copy of the Ordinance and Resolution. I also provided them with my business card and case
number. The male employee appeared to be the manager or owner of the establishment.
After answering questions about the ordinance, I ordered the employee to remove the products.
End of report. JD67

On 11/30/2022, I, Sergeant Davis conducted follow up checks at Top Star Market. I utilized the
assistance of Agent Etienne from the Southwest Metro Drug Task Force.
Agent Etienne entered the store and determined it was still in violation of the moratorium by actively
selling Edible Cannabinoid Products.
At approximately 1412 hours (the receipt says 1512 hours) Agent Etienne purchased a package Urb
Vegan Gummies for $45.00. The product is derived from Delta 10 THC and Delta 8 THC and
according to the packaging has 35 pieces containing 50 mg of THC per piece. The total THC in the
package is 1,750 MG.

Minnesota State Statute 151.72 subd 5a (f) restricts the legal dosage size as follows:
(f) An edible cannabinoid product must not contain more than five milligrams of any
tetrahydrocannabinol in a single serving, or more than a total of 50 milligrams of any
tetrahydrocannabinol per package.
Additionally, Chapter 171.72 subd 5 lists the labelling requirements for such a package.
Subd. 5.Labeling requirements.
(a) A product regulated under this section must bear a label that contains, at a minimum:
(1) the name, location, contact phone number, and website of the manufacturer of the product;

The packaging does not provide any of this information but instead provides a QR Code on the side of
the package. The user is directed to https://stc.sca:ntrust.com which is part of hflps.. Lli to n a e c rl .
The primary website of Liftedmade is a nonworking website. The original scantrust site shows some
product details but does not meet most of the labeling requirements listed above or any of the
laboratory requirements listed above.
The sale of this product is not only in violation of the moratorium but it is also in violation of
Minnesota State Law.
On 12/2/2022, I filed a complaint with the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy. Attached to this report is a
copy of that complaint form.
The products was photographed and secured into evidence at the Shakopee Police Department.

COST OF REPORT
Minnesota Statutes §3.197 states that a "report to the legislature must contain, at the beginning of the report, the
cost of preparing the report, including any costs incurred by another agency or another level of government". The
estimated cost of preparing this report was $75.00. That is the approximate value, in terms of salary and benefits,
of the time that Board staff spent preparing the report.

Introduction
The Board of Pharmacy (Board) is submitting this report to the Legislature in compliance with Minnesota Statutes
§ 152.02, subdivision 12. That section states, in part:
"The state Board of Pharmacy shall annually submit a report to the legislature on or before December 1
that specifies what changes the board made to the controlled substance schedules maintained by the board
in Minnesota Rules, parts 6800.4210 to 6800.4250, in the preceding 12 months. The report must also
specify any orders issued by the board under this subdivision. The report must include specific
recommendations for amending the controlled substance schedules contained in subdivisions 2 to 6, so
that they conform with the controlled substance schedules maintained by the board in Minnesota Rules,
parts 6800.4210 to 6800.4250, and with the federal schedules."
The Board reviewed and approved this report at its December 8, 2021 meeting.
2021 Scheduling Changes
The Board did not engage in rule -making to make any changes to the controlled substance schedules found in
Minnesota Rules Chapter 6800 during calendar year 2021. Nor did it issue any scheduling orders in 2021.
The Board contains to occasionally receive reports from law enforcement officials or the Bureau of Criminal
Apprehension Laboratory about an unscheduled and potentially abused substances that appear to be available for
purchase on the streets or from Internet suppliers. In addition, law enforcement officials and healthcare providers
have expressed concern to the Board concerning the increasing abuse of gabapentin — a drug approved by the
United States Food and Drug Administration that acts on the same receptor system that benzodiazepines (Valium -
like drugs) act on. Consequently, the Board may propose controlled substance scheduling legislation during the
2022 Session.
There is also potential scheduling issue involving delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol (A-8 THC), which is an isomer
and analog of delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (A-9 THC). A-8 THC is an intoxicating substance, although it is
slightly less potent than A-9 THC (meaning it takes a larger quantity to make some "high"). A-8 THC is being
produced by some individuals and companies by extracting cannabidiol (CBD) from hemp and converting the
CBD to A-8 THC.
The producers believe that A-8 THC products derived from hemp are not controlled substances as long as the
product contains less than 0.3% of A-9 THC. That is because of the following definition of industrial hemp found
Minn. Stats. §18K.02, subd. 2 is (emphasis added):
"Industrial hemp" means the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of the plant, whether growing or not,
including the plant's seeds, and all the plant's derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and
salts of isomers, whether growing or not, with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more
than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis. Industrial hemp is not marijuana as defined in section 152.01,
subdivision 9.
In addition, the definition of "marijuana" in Minn. Stats. § 151.01 includes this sentence "Marijuana does not
include hemp as defined in section 152.22, subdivision 5a."
However, Minn. Stats § 152.02, subd. 2 h. (2) makes tetrahydrocannabinols Schedule I controlled substances,
separately from marijuana. The definitions of industrial hemp and marijuana given above make no mention of
3
4144
T H-3
industrial hemp not being tetrahydrocannabinols. In addition, A-8 THC is not directly derived or extracted from
industrial hemp, it is synthesized from CBD that is extracted from hemp. Therefore, an argument can be made
that A-8 THC synthesized from CBD that is extracted from hemp, is a Schedule I controlled substance, even if
the product that contains it has less than 0.3% of A-9 THC.
The Minnesota State Court of Appeals appears to have reached that same conclusion in the case of State v.
Loveless, pointing out (at least for liquid products containing any amount of any tetrahydrocannabinol):
"Unlike the definition of marijuana, the inclusion of tetrahydrocannabinols in Minnesota's Schedule I
does not make any exception for hemp or for a substance or mixture that has a concentration of delta-9
tetrahydrocannabinol that is 0.3 percent or less on a dry -weight basis."
The Court acknowledges that "the legislature enacted other laws that appear to recognize or assume the
lawfulness of vaporizer cartridges containing low concentrations of delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol." However,
the Court also opined that:
"the legislature did not amend the relevant provisions of chapter 152 to make it lawful to possess a
liquid mixture with a low concentration of delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol. If a statute's language is plain
and its meaning is unambiguous, a court must interpret the statute according to its plain meaning,
without resorting to canons of construction or legislative history. See, e.g., State v. Serbus, 957 N.W.2d
84, 87 (Minn. 2021); State vStruzyk, 869 N.W.2d 280, 288 n.5 (Minn. 2015). Here, the relevant
provision of Schedule I is unambiguous. It states simply, "tetrahydrocannabinols," without regard for the
concentration of delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol."
Since even CBD products that meet the requirements of Minn. Stats. § 151.72 contain at least trace amounts of
tetrahydrocannabinols, they would appear to be Schedule I controlled substances under this ruling. A-8 THC
products would definitely be Schedule I controlled substances under this ruling and for the other reasons
mentioned above.
If the Legislature wishes to continue allowing the sale of non -intoxicating cannabinoids derived from hemp, it
appears that Minn. Stats. §151.72 will need to be amended, as will Minn. Stats. § 152.02, subd. 2 h (2). If the
Legislature wished to legalize the sale and possession of products containing A-8 THC, which is intoxicating,
those sections would also need to be modified.
The Board is working with the Minnesota Departments of Agriculture, Health, and Public Safety on issues
involving substances extracted from hemp and sold for human or animal consumption. A separate report will
most likely be developed by the agencies involved.

STATE OF MINNESOTA DISTRICT COURT
COUNTY OF SCOTT FIRST JUDICIAL DISTRICT
State of Minnesota,
vs.
Sined Adel Manasra,
Plaintiff,
Defendant.
DEFENDANT'S MEMORANDUM OF
LAW IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO
DISMISS
Court File No. 70-CR-23-3795
Defendant Sined Manasra ("Manasra") respectfully submits this memorandum in support
of his motion to dismiss. The City has charged Manasra criminally for an alleged violation of
expired Interim City of Shakopee Ordinance No. 2022 — 021 (the "2022 Ordinance"). The charge
is based on an alleged sale of edible gummies containing hemp derived delta-8 and delta-10
tetrahydrocannabinol ("THC") at Top Star Market, LLC's store on November 30, 2022. Manasra
is alleged to be the owner of Top Star Market, LLC ("Top Star Market"). The charge against
Manasra must be dismissed for several reasons.
First, the hemp derived delta-8 and delta-10 tetrahydrocannabinol ("THC") product that
Top Star Market is alleged to have sold falls under an exception to the Ordinance for products that
were already legal prior to Minnesota's 2022 statutory amendment. Second, even if the 2022
Ordinance applied to hemp derived delta-8 and delta-10 THC, sale of such product would still be
permitted as a prior non -conforming use pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 462.357. Third, the criminal
complaint does not identify Manasra as having personally made the sale on November 30, 2022,
which is the subject of the charge. Simply being the owner of Top Star Market does not make
Manasra vicariously criminally liable for all sales that occur at Top Star Market. Fourth, there is
no evidence of mens rea on the part of Manasra and the 2022 Ordinance should not be interpreted
to impose strict criminal liability in the absence of mens rea.

I. DELTA-8 AND DELTA-9 THC FALL SQUARELY WITHIN AN EXCEPTION TO
THE ORDINANCE BECAUSE THEY WERE LEGAL TO SELL BEFORE THE
2022 STATUTORY AMENDMENT
In 2022, the Minnesota legislature amended Minn. Stat. § 151.72 to allow the sale of hemp
derived edible delta-9 THC products, subject to certain limitations and requirements. Minnesota
Laws 2022, Ch. 98 (H.F. No. 4065) (the "2022 Act").
In response to the 2022 Act, the City of Shakopee passed the 2022 Ordinance, which
imposed a moratorium on the sale, within the City, of cannabis products that became legal to sell
in Minnesota because of the 2022 Act.' The 2022 Ordinance expressly contained an exception for
products that were already legal to sell prior to the 2022 Act. Section 5 of the 2022 Ordinance
expressly provides that "The moratorium imposed by this Ordinance does not apply to the sale of
medical cannabis or hemp products that were lawful to sell prior to the effective date of the Act."
The charge is based on Top Star Market's alleged sale of hemp derived delta-8 and delta-
10 THC on November 30, 2022. These are "hemp products that were lawful to sell prior to the
effective date of the act" and, therefore, fall within the exception to the 2022 Ordinance.
Even prior to the 2022 Act, the statutory definition of "marijuana" for purposes of
controlled substance offenses excluded "hemp", which is in turn defined by reference to a statute
defining "industrial hemp" as having delta-9 THC concentration no greater than 0.3%. Minn. Stat.
§§ 152.01, subd. 9, 152.22, subd. 5a, 18K.02, subd. 3; see also State v. Loveless, 987 N.W.2d 224
(Minn. 2023).
Minn Stat. § 152.01, subd. 9 provides that "Marijuana does not include hemp as defined
in section 152.22, subdivision 5a." That statute in turn provides that "'Hemp' has the meaning
given to industrial hemp in section 18K.02, subdivision 3." The definition of industrial hemp in
Minn Stat. § 18K.02, subd. 3 is as follows:
' The 2022 Ordinance expired December 31, 2022.

whether growing or not, including the plant's seeds, and all the plant's derivatives,
extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, whether growing
or not, with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than 0.3% on
a dryweight basis.
(Emphasis added).
Thus, products containing hemp derived delta-8 and delta-10 THC were legal to sell in
Minnesota prior to the 2022 Act. Therefore, such products fit squarely within the exception to the
2022 Ordinance for "hemp products that were lawful to sell prior to the effective date of the Act."
(2022 Ordinance § 5).
The charge against Manasra is based on alleged sale of edible gummies containing hemp
derived delta-8 and delta-10 THC on November 30, 2022. The State has provided pictures of the
package of gummies on which the charge is based. Copies of pictures of the package are attached
hereto as Exhibit A. The ingredients list on the package includes "Hemp Delta 10 & 8 Distillate."
The package indicates that the gummies contain "Full Spectrum Hemp Extract (Delta-10/8)".
However, the package does not list delta-9 THC as an ingredient. And the State has produced no
evidence that the gummies that form the basis for the charge against Manasra contain delta-9 THC
in excess of 0.3%, or that they contain any delta-9 THC at all for that matter. Accordingly, the
gummies that form the basis for the charges against Manasra are "hemp products that were lawful
to sell prior to the effective date of the [2022] Act" and, therefore, exempt from the 2022
Ordinance.
Even if there were any ambiguity as to whether the 2022 Ordinance applied to hemp
derived delta-8 and delta-10 THC (which it unambiguously did not), the rule of lenity would
require that the ambiguity be resolved in favor of Manasra. State v. Rick, 835 N.W.2d 478, 485
(Minn. 2013) ("the rule of lenity ... instructs us to adopt the narrower of two reasonable
interpretations of an ambiguous criminal statute and to resolve the ambiguity in favor of the
criminal defendant"); Johnson v. State, 820 N.W.2d 24, 30 (Minn Ct. App. 2012) ("when the
3

language of a criminal law is ambiguous, we construe it narrowly according to the rule of
lenity"); State v. McKown, 461 N.W.2d 720, 725 (Minn. Ct. App. 1990) ("Application of the rule
of lenity ensures that criminal statutes will provide fair warning concerning conduct considered
illegal ... We should not derive criminal outlawry from some ambiguous implication.").
II. EVEN IF THE 2022 ORDINANCE HAD APPLIED TO DELTA-8 AND DELTA-10
THC, TOP STAR MARKET'S SALE OF SUCH PRODUCTS WOULD HAVE
BEEN PERMITTED AS A PRIOR NON -CONFORMING USE
As noted in the 2022 Ordinance, the City's authority to pass the moratorium is pursuant to
Minn Stat. § 462.355. The statutes that allow cities to pass a moratorium is under zoning authority
provided to it by the State of Minnesota. Minn. Stat. § 462.355, subd. 4(a). This zoning law
further states, "any nonconformity, including the lawful use ... of premises existing at the time of
adoption ... may continue." Minn. Stat. § 462.357, subd. 1e. This means that if a property owner
is using the property lawfully at the time of enactment of the new zoning ordinance, the property
owner may continue to use it in a legal non -conforming manner.
Top Star Market was using the store property to sell Minnesota compliant edible
cannabinoid products prior to August 16, 2022, when the City passed the 2022 Ordinance.
Accordingly, Top Star Market was legally allowed to continue to do so in the same manner as
prior to the 2022 Ordinance. Therefore, even if the 2022 Ordinance applied to delta-8 and delta-
10 THC (which it did not), Top Star Market's sale of those products would be permitted as a prior
non -conforming use.
III. THE STATE HAS NOT IDENTIFIED MANASRA AS HAVING PERSONALLY
MADE THE SALE ON NOVEMBER 30, 2022, AND MANASRA IS NOT
CRIMINALLY LIABLE FOR ALL SALES THAT OCCUR AT TOP STAR
MARKET MERELY BECAUSE HE IS THE OWNER
The criminal complaint is based on a sale of delta-8 and delta-10 THC gummies that is
alleged to have occurred on November 30, 2022. However, the criminal complaint does not
identify Manasra as having personally made the sale of the gummies on November 30, 2022.

The 2022 Ordinance provides that "No business, person, or entity may sell Cannabis
Products to the public within the jurisdictional boundaries of the City during the period that this
Ordinance is in effect." (2022 Ordinance § 4). This provision, by its terms, applies only to a
"business, person, or entity" that "sell[s]" a product prohibited by the 2022 Ordinance.
To the extent that the State interprets the 2022 Ordinance to impose vicarious criminal
liability on the owners of businesses, such an interpretation would render the Ordinance
unconstitutional. The Minnesota Supreme Court has rejected as unconstitutional imposition of
vicarious criminal liability on the owner of a business for all sales made by the business. In State
v. Guminga, 395 N.W.2d 344 (Minn 1986), the Court invalidated as unconstitutional a statute that
purported to impose vicarious criminal liability on an employer for sales of alcohol to underage
persons by employees. The Court did so on due process grounds. Id. Therefore, if the 2022
Ordinance purported to impose vicarious liability on the owners of businesses, the Ordinance
would be unconstitutional.
Even if Top Star Market's sale of delta-8 and delta-10 THC gummies on November 30,
2022, were prohibited by the Ordinance (which it was not), that would not justify imposing
criminal liability on Manasra individually absent proof that Manasra personally made the sale.
IV. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF MENS REA ON THE PART OF MANASRA
The 2022 Ordinance is silent as to what level of mens rea is required for a criminal
violation. Where a criminal law is silent as to mens rea, Courts will generally read a mens rea
requirement into the law.
In State v. Arkell, 672 N.W.2d 564 (Minn. 2003), the president of a land development
company was charged under a statute that made it a misdemeanor to violate building codes
regarding grading and water drainage. Id. The president of the company had hired subcontractors
to handle the grading and water drainage. Id. The company president argued that he did not intend
5
PENHI SIT I-5
70-CR-23-3795
Filed in District Court
State of Minnesota
8/10/2023 9:02 AM
to violate the building code, and that he thought that the subcontractors would take care of all
regulatory issues. Id. The subcontractors failed to comply with the building codes. Id.
The statute in Arkell did not contain any specific mens rea requirement, but simply
provided that "a violation of the [building] code is a misdemeanor." However, the Court noted
that "strict liability statutes are generally disfavored and legislative intent to impose strict criminal
liability must be clear." Id. The Court held that the criminal statute for violating building codes
was not a strict liability statute, but rather required mens rea. Id.
Similarly in Welfare of C.R.M., 611 N.W.2d 802 (Minn. 2000), the Court held that the State
was required to prove that a juvenile actually knew that he possessed a knife on school property in
order to convict him of possessing a knife on school property. This was notwithstanding the fact
that the statute did not expressly contain any mens rea requirement.
The Minnesota Supreme Court in both the Arkell case and the C.R.M. case relied heavily
on the United States Supreme Court's decision in Staples v. U.S., 511 U.S. 600 (U.S. 1994). In
Staples, the Supreme Court reversed a conviction for unlawful possession of an unregistered
machine gun under the National Firearms Act. Id. The Firearms Act was silent regarding mens
rea. Id. However, the Court noted that "silence on this point by itself does not necessarily suggest
that Congress intended to dispense with a conventional mens rea element" and that "some
indication of congressional intent, express or implied, is required to dispense with mens rea as an
element of a crime." Id. The Court held that the government was required to prove that the
petitioner knew that the features of the weapon brought it within the prohibitions of the Firearms
Act. Id. The Court, in Staples, noted in dicta that "we would probably hesitate to conclude on the
basis of silence that Congress intended a prison term to apply to a car owner whose vehicle's
emissions levels, wholly unbeknownst to him, began to exceed legal limits between regular
inspection dates." Id. at 614.

Even if Top Star Market's sale of delta-8 and delta-10 THC gummies on November 30,
2022, had violated the 2022 Ordinance (which it did not), Manasra would be similarly situated to
the hypothetical car owner in Staples and the land development company president in Arkell.
Manasra did not intend to violate the 2022 Ordinance. Accordingly, the charge must be dismissed
for lack of mens rea evidence as well.
CONCLUSION
Top Star Market is alleged to have sold delta-8 and delta-10 THC product, which is
expressly exempted from the 2022 Ordinance. Even if the product was within the 2022 Ordinance,
the sale would still have been permissible as a prior non -conforming use. Moreover, the State has
not identified Manasra as having personally made the sale and Manasra did not have mens rea.
For all the foregoing reasons, the charge against Manasra must be dismissed.
