Residents and permittees press county on inspections, unpaid fees and complaint process
Summary
Multiple public commenters and supervisors said enforcement and monitoring are inconsistent; staff said fees have been collected, four sites were outside permitted canopy and code changes are being drafted to allow immediate fines.
Several members of the public and supervisors told the board they have seen recurring compliance problems at cannabis sites and asked for clearer enforcement and a transparent reconsideration process for background disqualifications.
Holly Harris, who said she analyzed inspection records through public-records requests, described broken meters, missing annual reports and unpaid inspection fees and urged the board to retain the 10‑year expiration until enforcement is working: “Roughly 40 20 24 and 2025 annual inspections were not paid in 2024 and 2025,” she told the board. Maria Turner said back monitoring fees have been collected, staff had referred compliance matters to code enforcement, and identified four locations cultivating outside their approved canopy area for corrective action. A representative of Pillsbury Family Farms asked the board to codify a written reconsideration process for background-disqualification decisions so applicants are informed of next steps rather than pushed between departments.
The board requested a consolidated report from Community Development on the number and outcome of inspections, fines and revocation actions within 90–120 days to give supervisors and the public better visibility into enforcement activity.
