Subject: Support Letter for Agenda Item 1
Dear Mayor and Councilmembers,
Please find attached a letter of support for staff’s recommendation, specifically resolution 2020-148
authorizing the transition of two current open and operating commercial cannabis businesses to
alter their existing permits to transition to two commercial cannabis microbusiness permits.
Ikänik Farms, which owns and operates Blunt Brothers Distribution is a proud member of the San
Bernardino business community and was the first licensed cannabis business to open. Since
opening we have continued to grow, contribute tax revenue, add employees and make a positive
impact to the community we proudly call home. Transitioning into a microbusiness would allow
Blunt Brother’s to grow our business in San Bernardino in ways currently not available. This growth
would allow Blunt Brother to create an estimated 10-20 positions and generate additional tax
revenue in the very near term.
We look forward to being a continued partner in economic development and sensible cannabis
regulation in the City of San Bernardino.
Thank you for your consideration.
v/r,
Joe
