The Calaveras County Board of Supervisors began reviewing two ordinances and a fee study pertaining to commercial cannabis cultivation in special meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday. The fee study was to support the formation of a cannabis control department, and the two ordinances were cultivation regulations and an associated background check ordinance.
San Andreas Fire Chief Don Young stood at the entrance of board chambers to limit the number of people allowed in the room to the seated section.
Residents held up “Recall Stopper” signs on the right side of the room.
The meeting began with a presentation from Country Administrative Officer Al Alt on the fee study for a proposed cannabis control department.

It would serve as the location for prospective growers to file applications, and its staff would help guide individuals through the application process.
