MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Tina Scott, Chair, Board of Supervisors
FROM: Bruno Sabatier, District 2 Supervisor
DATE: June 4, 2019
SUBJECT: Discussion regarding use of Cannabis Tax Revenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
I am requesting our Board engage in discussion regarding use of Cannabis Tax revenue which is now being generated pursuant to Measure C. Measure C imposes a tax on cannabis cultivation operations which occur in the unincorporated areas of the County, in order to raise revenue to help fund law enforcement, environmental protection and water quality resources in the County, as well as to establish additional educational programs for County youth relating to drug and alcohol use.
Since the local cannabis industry is still in the developmental stages, the amount of ongoing revenue which will be generated by Measure C is in the process of being determined. Nonetheless, a Board discussion, and possible direction to staff to develop policy, would be timely.
