Subject: City of SLO ‐ Retail Storefront Applications Supplemental Information
Good morning, Kyle.
At our last Cannabis Application Review Team meeting we discussed requesting additional information from
the retail storefront applicants to help the review team determine appropriate points to award under Merit
Criteria section 4: Experience. Brian prepared a letter that I sent to the applicants on November 20th requesting
the additional information. Applicants had until December 1st to provide the requested information. Both
applicants responded to the request by the due date. I uploaded a copy of our letter as well as copies of the
information they provided to your SharePoint folder. I had issues uploading the Milkman SLO information, so
you will see duplicates of the same folders.
Now that the supplemental information has been received, I plan to give the review team two weeks to review
the supplemental information before reconvening. I am looking at Tuesday, December 20th from 2:30pm to
3:30pm. Are you available at that time?
Thank you,

SLOCAL Supply provided supplemental information per the Completeness Letter. The documents can be
found here SLOCAL Supply Supplemental Info - 10-13-2023. The documents are numbered based on the
digital file names and descriptions listed in the application procedures guidelines (see table below). Please
review and score the original application package in conjunction with the supplemental information using the
adopted Merit Criteria.
If you are taking notes during the application review and scoring process, then please save them here
6_Application Review Notes. I will then provide the notes to Kyle at SCI Consulting for aggregation to
support the final scoring and ranking.
Finally, I will look for a time next week for us to reconvene and finalize scoring of all applications.
Thank you,

Subject: Cannabis Application Review Check‐in
Good morning, Cannabis Application Review Team.
I wanted to let y’all know that SCI finished their completeness review of SLOCAL Supply’s non-competitive
application for a microbusiness operator permit. A Completeness Letter linked HERE was sent to the
applicant today. Per our guidelines, the applicant has 14 calendar days to respond with the requested
information. Until the requested information is provided, you can either review and score the application as-is
with the understanding that additional is needed to complete the review OR wait until the information is
submitted and uploaded to SharePoint.
As for the competitive applications, I hope y’all are making progress and remembering to track time spent
reviewing and scoring. I would like to reconvene earlier than initially discussed at our kick-off meeting to
compare and finalize scoring. Is the last full week of October (23rd thru 27th) reasonable for everyone to
complete their reviews and scoring? Please respond back to this email with either a “yes” or “no”. Depending
on the responses, I will schedule a meeting accordingly.
Thank you!

Also, I think its best for you, Brian, and I to have a pre-meeting the day before to make sure the three of us are

process. I have attached the application review materials that I will go over today. If you have not done so
already, I recommend also reviewing the materials on our Cannabis Program webpage.
The application packages are rather large, so what is the best way to get you copies for your review?

Good afternoon Alex,
Attached please find our edits to the draft Professional Services Agreement. The only change we had was in regard to
the indemnification language, which our team felt was overly broad.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Thank you,

Kyle,
No additional information right now. I have attached a copy of the City’s professional (consultant) services
agreement template and insurance requirements for your review. The City does not like to deviate from the
standard terms and conditions but will consider them on a case-by-case basis.

Good morning, Kyle.

I reviewed the revised proposal with my department director and received approval to move forward with
executing an agreement. The not-to-exceed amount is greater than the authority my director has to execute
the agreement himself. So, I am going through our internal process of receiving approval to bypass the typical
purchasing process. I have asked that review and approval of the request be completed by next Friday the
23rd. I will keep you up to date once I hear back.
Thank you,

Hi, Kyle.
Can we expand the scope to include review of applications for all permit types instead of just for retail
storefront permits? I anticipate receiving at least one application for delivery services during the open
application period and I want all applications to be processed the same.
Also, our process requires a completeness check for non-competitive applications. Below is an excerpt from
our Application Procedures Guidelines explaining the completeness check process. Can it also be added to the
scope where SCI performs the completeness check portion of the process?
PHASE II: COMPLETENESS CHECK
All non-competitive permit applications will undergo a completeness check by an independent reviewer
to determine if any required information from the application and merit criteria is missing prior to
scoring. Noncompetitive permits are all types permitted by the City except for retail storefront and
cultivation cannabis permits. Non-competitive Applicants who submit incomplete applications will
receive a Letter of Completeness requesting additional information and/or material required to complete
the Applications. The applicant will be given fourteen (14) days to collect and return the requested
material. Applicants who receive a Letter of Completeness shall only resubmit the material requested in
the letter. In the event the requested material is not received within fourteen (14) days, the Application
will be scored without the requested information, which could result in a lower score and thus could
result in the applicant not being issued a Contingent Operator Permit.
Thank you,

Hi, Kyle.
We have communicated to our Council and to the public of an anticipated application period in Summer 2023
(after July 1st). The application period will be 30 days and review of applications would begin shortly thereafter.
Depending on the number of applications, I expect review and scoring to take 3-4 weeks. I hope this helps.
Thank you,

Kyle,
After talking with staff that participated in previous application review processes, the consultant proctoring the
process reviewed the applications for familiarity then facilitated two to three in-person meetings with the review
team to discuss individual scores and to confirm ranking of competitive applications. Hopefully, this information
is helpful in putting together a proposed scope of work.
Thank you,

Good morning.
My name is Alex Fuchs and I am the Cannabis Business Coordinator for the City of San Luis Obispo. Our
Cannabis Business Program allows for the issuance of up to three retail storefront permits. Currently, two of
the three permits have been issued and activated. The City is anticipating opening a new application period for
all permit types including the third and final retail storefront permit. The City is interested in contracting with an
experienced consulting firm to proctor the application evaluation, scoring, and ranking of applications received
for retail storefront permits. The purpose is for a subject matter expert to provide industry expertise and
guidance to City evaluators during the application review process. If your firm is interested in assisting the City
during the upcoming application period, then I would like to schedule a call in the next week or so to discuss
further.
Thank you,

Good morning, all.
At our last Cannabis Application Review Team meeting, we agreed that more information was needed from the
retail storefront applicants before potential points can be awarded for Merit Criteria 4: Experience. On
November 20th, I sent a letter to both retail storefront applicants requesting additional information needed to
complete the review. Below are links to the letters.

Both applicants provided supplemental information within the given time frame. I will send out a meeting invite
