RECOMMENDATION:
Administration expresses no objection to renewal of license for DKW Farms, LLC. Please refer to inspection report provided by Chief Hinkle.
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
AMCO is required to notify the governing body of the intent by AMCO to renew existing licenses for establishments which reside within the city limits.
To protest the approval of an application pursuant to 3 AAC 306.060, the governing body must furnish the director and the applicant with a clear and concise written statement of reasons for the protest within 60 days of the date of this notice, and provide AMCO proof of service of the protest upon the applicant.
3 AAC 306.060 states that the board will uphold a local government protest and deny an application for a marijuana establishment license unless the board finds that a protest by a local government is arbitrary, capricious, and unreasonable.
Chief Hinkle has conducted an inspection of the premises and provided the city council with a report of his findings. Following inspection, Chief Hinkle expressed no objection to the renewal of license for DKW Farms, LLC.
At the May 15, 2017, Marijuana Control Board meeting, the board delegated to the Director the authority to approve renewal applications with no protests, objections, or notices of violation. However, if a timely protest or objection is filed for this application, or if any notices of violation have been issued for this license, the board will consider the application. In those situations, a temporary license may be issued pending board consideration.
