Dear Community Members,

Please see the attached Agenda for the cannabis cultivation ordinance ad hoc community meetings. Please note that the intended focus of these meetings are potential changes to the cannabis cultivation ordinance. There will be other opportunities to address the Board on issues related to fees, taxes, Genetically Modified Organisms, hemp, and other business types.

The ad hoc committee is in agreement that "transferability" ought to be allowed and therefore recommends that on or after January 1, 2020, new owners or new partners in existing cultivation sites in Rangeland, Forest Land and Timber Production Zones ought to be able to apply for cultivation permits. The process by which this would occur is open for discussion. Some options would require an Administrative Permit or a Use Permit.

The ad hoc committee has included the remaining major discussion items on today's agenda just as they were originally presented to the Board. They are presented for discussion and without recommendation.

The Board invites additional comment from the public on potential amendments to the cannabis cultivation ordinance.

Thank you,

Supervisor John Haschak and Supervisor John McCowen
