Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:

On August 22, 2017, the Board of Supervisors directed staff to present options for reduced fees for cottage industry cultivators of cannabis for Board of Supervisors discussion at the September 12, 2017, meeting.                     

 

Summary of Request

The Board of Supervisors directed staff to present options for discussion on the Board’s September 12, 2017, agenda to consider a new or revised (reduced/less than full cost recovery) fees for cottage cultivators of cannabis.  The Board had previously directed that the item be presented for discussion on September 12, 2017, with a subsequent public hearing to be held on September 18 or 19, 2017, to consider said fee amendments.  After reviewing public noticing options, the Executive Office is presenting the following for Board consideration:

 

                     Direct staff to publicly notice a fee hearing on September 12, 2017, allowing the Board to consider the proposed fees related to cottage industry cultivation of cannabis and adopt a revised Master Fee Schedule (this options would allow for the public hearing to occur and the fees to be amended during one meeting);

or

                     Direct staff to present the Board with revised fee options regarding cottage industry cultivation of cannabis on September 12, 2017, for discussion purposes only, followed by a publicly noticed fee hearing on September 18 or 19, 2017, to consider the amendments to the Master Fee Schedule.

 

 

Following the Board’s direction on either option, staff will coordinate the public noticing of the fee hearing pursuant to the 10 day advance noticing requirements.

 

Alternative Action/Motion:

Return to staff with further direction.
