Calaveras County Cannabis Regulatory Program Fee Study
San Andreas, CA...The Board of Supervisors will be considering the adoption of two sets of regulatory fees on October 15, 2019. The first set of fees that will be presented for consideration of the Board are proposed for the implementation of an ordinance to repeal and replace Chapter 17.95, the County’s commercial cannabis ordinance. Funding this new program will require the imposition of three separate fees: an application fee in the amount of twelve thousand, five-hundred and sixty-one dollars ($12,561), an annual continuation fee in the amount of two thousand, six hundred and six dollars ($2,606), and a fee to be charged for the appeal of staff decisions in the amount of nine-hundred and forty seven dollars ($947).
The second set of proposed fees would be imposed to fund the implementation of a criminal history and background review program that will be implemented if the Board of Supervisors passes an ordinance adding Chapter 9.22, entitled “Cannabis Background Clearance Badge” to the County Code. This new ordinance, if passed, will require that anyone who applies for a commercial cannabis permit or who wishes to work within commercial cannabis industry shall apply for and receive a Cannabis Background Clearance Badge (“CBCB”) from the County. Funding this proposed program will require the imposition of an application fee and an appeal fee. The proposed application fee will be in the amount of one-hundred and fifty three dollars ($153) and the proposed appeal fee, if passed, would be nine-hundred and forty seven dollars ($947).
These fees will be imposed to cover the reasonable regulatory costs to the County for issuing permits and clearance badges, performing inspections, and for administrative enforcement activities. There will be staff costs and other expenses associated with processing applications, conferring the privilege to engage in commercial cannabis activities as an owner or worker and to provide for administrative adjudication when applications are denied or enforcement actions are taken. In the case of the program contemplated under Chapter 9.22, there will be additional costs to cannabis workers and owners of cannabis business entities that will be paid directly to live scan service providers and to a third-party vendor tasked with conducting thorough background reviews for all CBCB applicants.
The amount of these fees have been established by calculating the anticipated burdens on County staff in implementing and administering the programs created by these two proposed ordinances and adding the costs of essential equipment and supplies that will be associated with administering the programs. The amount of these fees, as calculated, will not exceed the estimated costs of providing the services, processing the cannabis permit and CBCB applications, and in providing administrative adjudication associated with these two programs.
The data relied on in calculating the costs required to provide the services associated with these programs is summarized in the attached spreadsheets and is available on the County’s website at the following address: http://cannabis.calaverasgov.us/Ordinances/Draft-Regulatory-Ordinance
These spreadsheets provide a breakdown of anticipated staff expenses for the cannabis regulatory program and the cannabis background check program as well as the non-staff expenses such as equipment, materials, and training.
For more information, contact the County Administrative Office, 209.754.6025

How is it people scapegoat the compliant farmers for every bad thing that happens around here? There were several work parties organized by area farmers where roadside trash was collected, Mt Ranch park was mowed, people supported non-profits, and donated to many area fundraisers.

You're right, there are some growers who DO NOT break the laws,
and I do know one who one who went by the book, the laws, put a lot
of his money into making a nice legal place only to get screwed over
by the BOS not having any idea of what they're doing.
Gee, go figure on that. Sadly though it's still going to bring in
the dregs of our society. I now have more then one weapon locked
and loaded at all times. That's just the way society has become.

Hello?....ANYONE HOME? Don't blame the pot growers there Skippy, blame the
people on the BOS, they are the ones who threw you under the bus. It is about money
of course. It's how do they/we pay our bills in the county? Soon they'll allow a
Casino in Angels Camp, and then things will really change for the worse. Everyone
living in Angels Camp will have to change their address on everything they have,
to ANALS CAMP because they'll be bringing in crime like they have in Sonora. All
of the puke from below and else where that travels to Sonora to steal, buy and sell
drugs will come here too. Why will they come here besides of all the weed, illegal
drugs and gambling? Because when they break the laws here, it's a known fact that
we don't have the man power to stop crime, and our DA and judges always give
minimum bail to the losers in society who own nothing,. They don't want the expense
of incarcerating them, AND THAT'S A FACT!!!
Now if it's a resident
here who breaks the law and is arrested, and they have a mortgage? The bail
goes up, because they know the homeowner needs to get out, go to his job to pay his bills.
So back to THE BOS doing this let's, go back a few years to when we had a
chance to change everything before us today. The people had a chance to vote for legal cultivation
or to ban commercial cultivation. One person, ONE DAMN LYING BASTARD
took our right to vote from the entire county by LYING and was caught by the people who wanted to grow,
Bill McManus DID!!! LYING BILL MCMANUS TOOK YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE.
Just telling it like it is. If it wasn't for his deceit, his lying, you, me, ALL OF THIS COUNTY
would have had our right to vote, but nope, Mr (as some would call him) McAnus took our right away.
So here we are today, back to inviting more criminals the right to grow marijuana,
and pollute our water, land, and kids, and bringing crime back to our community.
Thanks again Bill. Maybe you can tie another one on and please, don't choke to
death on an olive or some ice cubes when gulping you drink.

There's a lot of lying on the cannabis side and has been for more than 3 years - too many lies to list here. So save your righteous indignation for someone who doesn't know the score and who will believe your sorry one-sidedness.

So, these piddling little fees are gonna make Calaveras County rich, right? They’re gonna pay for enforcement and legal fees and law enforcement and hazmat clean up, and on and on, right? Bullsh*t.
Thanks, Merita Callaway. Your misguided stubbornness, bought and paid for by Big Weed, will be your pitiful legacy and the ruination of Calaveras County.
Gosh, won’t it be great when we have the same damn problems as Humboldt, but with less money to deal with them???

wrong re problems like Humbolt. Pot has been here for decades and all behind the sight of many. Butte fire cleared the way for all to see. What else will you do with the worthless burned land? All the ban people are drunks and way behind the times. It will be fully legalized in 2020. At the last meeting, the Sheriff stated on the record that the ban is a failure and has not stopped or reduced illegal grows

The county can't legally profit on fees. If it turns out the fee is too high, permitted farms will be eligible for a refund. There is no "getting rich" on fees.

the spreadsheet is the clowning glory of this masterpiece. Someone spent all this time to figure out how the county is going to account for every little fee and expense.
And We're going to have a pot czar in calaveras they oversee this whole system. Trust us guise, this time it will be different! scouts honor.
But..
Writing a new EIR for a regulatory program that is estimated to generate 1,923,000 is just too much effort and expense.
Soooo we will just addendum the old EIR.
Can't see that being a problem or a shaky foundation on which to build a teetering mansion of greed. All the county sees is a way out of financial insolvency. Cannabis is going to be the lord and savior of Calaveras Co.
All the growers see is paid protection to make millions on a broken prop 64. no mandatory track and trace in place in California means you get to wear a white cowboy hat , all while keeping that rich all black outfit on.
How about residency requirements, I.e. You must be a Calaveras CO resident, in order to apply for a permit to grow "legally"
Nope not needed just please have 12500 in cash.
In short it's all about the money. Love how they put that first and foremost with this official press release. $$$$ It's the most honest thing the county has unwittingly released in regards to this rerollout of regulations.
As Mr. Lahey said .... " smell that in the air, Randy ??"
Brace for impact in 3.2.1

This is illiteracy at its finest. Why are you one of their lackeys? Who pushed you to do this? I feel bad for you for joining in a worthless cause.
I'm sure visiting your grandchild or seeing the national parks are far more worthwhile of your time.
You should tour a legal farm and you'll see that your cause is a bunch of lies.

Impossible to gauge fee study.
"These fees will be imposed to cover the reasonable regulatory costs to the County for issuing permits and clearance badges, performing inspections, and for administrative enforcement activities." Remember, no one knows the forensic cost of the UO. Our own Environmental Health professional doesn't even attend inspections as he has stated and sees his role as a liaison.???? So forget the fee study, start over, and hold your breath.
