The council chose to work with the City of Anoka to run a city-owned cannabis retail store; staff will draft a letter of intent (a preliminary agreement) and study startup costs and possible locations. The city plans to keep using Eckberg and Lammers for civil and prosecution legal services to maintain continuity. For the August primary, in-person early voting will be handled at Anoka County from June 26–July 23 and at Blaine City Hall from July 24 through election day (with specified weekend and pre-election hours); staff will inform voters and use the primary to evaluate the change.
