How to resolve AdBlock issue? The board will meet at 9 a.m. Thursday, March 15, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.
The meeting can be watched live on Channel 8 and online at https://countyoflake.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx. Accompanying board documents, the agenda and archived board meeting videos also are available at that link.
At Thursday’s meeting the board will consider giving necessary approvals to staff to establish a cannabis budget unit and fund and allocate necessary start-up staffing.
The board also is expected to give staff direction to develop recommendations for personal permits to grow, registration and further options for enforcement, which would be brought back at a regular board meeting.
The memorandum to the board from County Administrative Officer Carol Huchingson and Community Development Director Bob Massarelli explained that the meeting is the third in a series of cannabis workshops that are part of the board’s approved work plan to finalize recreational cannabis provisions in county code which are “consistent with but not duplicative of state regulations.”
The memo said workshop’s four segments will include:
– A report from Community Development Department staff on the number of cannabis self-certifications received and confirmed to date;
– A report from county department heads and staff who are a part of the Finance Subcommittee of the larger Cannabis Stakeholder Department Head Stakeholder Workgroup;
– A report from County Counsel Anita Grant clarifying provisions of the urgency ordinance adopted on Dec. 19 based on questions raised by the public regarding temporary permits during the board’s March 6 regular board meeting.
– A conceptual discussion led by Board Chair Jim Steele regarding personal cannabis grows, including consideration of a registration process and/or personal permits to grow, depending on the size of the grow, as well as discussion of further options for general enforcement.
