Dillon Road Machado introduced the item and noted it is going from 100% owned by Shaun Gindi to his having 50% and three other individuals splitting the remaining 50%. He noted he had confirmed with Secretary Hanson that the three individuals being added were all over 21 years of age. Brown asked Attorney Culley for the basis on which the Authority could not allow this. She noted it would be if any of the owners have a criminal record that disallows them owning a marijuana business. There are some enumerated offenses such as felony drug offenses that prevent someone from holding a marijuana license. If their criminal background shows they are not of good moral character, could be basis for denial. We are been relying on the State for the background checks. Secretary Hanson noted on this particular application she had not heard if it had been approved by the State nor if they ran into anything in the background checks. Machado asked if our standards are the same as the state. Culley noted yes it would likely be the same but there could be slightly different interpretations of good moral character. The enumerated offenses would be the same. Machado wondered if this should be continued. He asked if there was a spot where they had to report any offenses in the application. Members found the question in the application.
