Siskiyou supervisors unanimously extend two local emergencies tied to illegal pesticides and illicit cannabis
Summary
The Board extended two local emergency declarations — one on illegal pesticides and illicit cannabis operations and a separate emergency on proliferation of illegal cannabis cultivation — both by unanimous roll-call votes, continuing county emergency powers tied to enforcement and response.
SISKIYOU COUNTY, Calif. — The Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors on March 17 unanimously extended two previously declared local emergencies: one addressing illegal pesticides and illicit cannabis operations and another concerning the proliferation of illegal cannabis cultivation.
County Administrator Angela Davis told the Board that the Office of Emergency Services Director and the Sheriff were unavailable and asked that the existing emergency declarations remain active. The Board voted to extend the local emergency tied to illegal pesticides and illicit cannabis operations (Resolution 25‑109) and separately extended the local emergency regarding proliferation of illegal cannabis cultivation (Resolution 25‑11).
Why it matters: The extensions keep in place county-level emergency authorities tied to enforcement and interagency coordination for ongoing illicit cultivation and pesticide-use incidents. County minutes do not record new enforcement measures or timelines; they record only the Board's action to continue the emergencies.
The minutes show unanimous roll-call approval on both items; no additional details on duration, new response steps or required reporting were recorded in the public minutes.
