“Absolutely. And if I can just respond to Supervisor Currell's concern there, I think I have a similar concern. I get it. I mean, if I was... I don't think it's really – we need to be in the business of verifying whether or not the crop was legitimately didn't work out versus they just decided not to do it. So I think it's almost like we have to basically just put in the rule that was suggested as far as, look, if it's not being cultivated, if X percent of it isn't being cultivated over – x amount of time then you know that that goes away or it gets taxed one or the other because we can't just…”

“And as, if anyone wants to come up, welcome to, as they're coming up, just to clarify, is the suggestion then just basically tax on whatever you poll? Yeah, that's fine with me.”

“Okay. Any other comments from that hasn't been good. Well, it sounds like there's. Yeah.”

“Really quickly, before we continue, can we just make sure that the 10-acre minimum, I thought I heard some consensus on that. Does that sound reasonable? 10-acre minimum? Parcel?”

“Yeah, I'll just say as the king of five-acre parcels in my district, I think I'm going to get strung up. So I would say 10 is probably more reasonable.”

“Okay. Yeah, I'm going to jump in on this, a couple questions. First of all, I think that sounds good to me, I think, generally. I do think, though... We also need to – maybe I'm wrong on this, but we're going this direction. We're trying to get this here. We're going to tax it to try to make money. I think there's going to be some inevitability in some cases that you're going to smell it sometimes. I just think that's just inevitable to a degree. I don't think we can completely eradicate that. We want to be reasonable about it like you go to – Greenfield and for some reason the entire town…”

“Because the idea with that is we're saying we don't want to harm the wine tastings business by being that close. But if they feel comfortable with opening anyway, because maybe the geography is different, it's within a half mile, I would think we would want a wine tasting to be able to open if they find that it's not going to be an issue for them. So I think we should, I'd like to look into that and make sure that we're not excluding or preventing development of our wine industry.”

“If there's consensus on that, I don't know. Yes, Rosa Corral.”

“When you say map, are you talking about the exclusion zone map? Mm-hmm.”

“I think we probably need to come back with the exclusion zone specific issue, I think, is what we're going to have to do.”

“Chair, zero tolerance. Yeah, I figured that was going to be the consensus here.”

“Yeah. I'll just say I don't... Certainly... I don't think you need permission to correct the mistake, right? I mean, just like correct the code that we have there. And yeah, I would say no, certainly no storefront retail and ag. That doesn't really make any sense to me that we would have that. Right?”

“What does that mean? What is non-storefront retail?”

“Great. Okay, fee slash cost recovery is next.”

“Okay, if I may. Is there a way that we could just, without having to pay a consultant tens of thousands of dollars and spend months, is there a way we can get a quick, rough estimate of how much this is going to cost staff?”
Board of Supervisors · Sep 10, 2026

“Can I ask a question on that? Yes. Because now I'm getting confused. Was the intention to hire a consultant or separate positions to go check on cannabis every now and then?”

“I think we had a comment from our expert.”

“Okay. Any further discussion then on that, how we want to proceed?”

“Okay, just so we get an understanding, is there any interest in setting a rate today among any of the supervisors that want to speak to that right now or no? Are we going to push this off? Just so we know how to continue.”

“Supervisor Curro had something, and then I think the sheriff wants to jump in.”

“Well, hold on. If I can just, Sheriff, did you have, do you want to come up and speak? Why don't you come? Because you've been standing there. Why don't we have you here?”

“Supervisor Crowe? I appreciate the creative thinking with that. I think it's an interesting idea. But I also kind of feel like it might get overcomplicated a little bit. I feel like We need to remember, too, that we can move it, right? We can move it up and down. I think whenever we want, as far as I understand, we can move it a month from when we set it. We can move it two months. We can move it around as we need. I almost wonder if that's the better way to go, just setting some kind of rate and just moving it as needed as opposed to a tiered system because I – I don't know. I feel like it…”

“having a tiered tax structure which sort of has a favorites mid-level and you guys are on the verge it's just an idea yeah can i ask what at this point i know we talked about maybe setting it now i'm moving on would it would it be better for everyone if we just came back relatively soon with a rough cost estimate and we could set the rate then do we want to do that or do we want to try to set something now and then come back or do you guys just want to like throw out what your your number is you know and then we can”
