Prioritization of community issues and needs appears to be the main action item on the proposed agenda for the second meeting of the Santa Cruz County Cultivation Choices Committee (C4) when they meet Tues Sep 22, 9:30AM at the Simpkins Center on 17th Ave.

In a note accompanying the agenda, County Consultant Eric Olsen asked Commissioners to review the “stakeholder and issue mapping” notes transcribed from the Sep 8 meeting with a view toward determining which need to be addressed "...as quickly as possible" and which are going to take longer.

Before they get to that task the Commission will hear comments from County Staff on “Compromise Medical Marijuana Legislation”; a review by County Counsel on the “Current County Ordinance”; as well as a presentation on “Conditions in the Field” involving representatives from the County Planning Dept, CAL FIRE and California Dept of Fish and Wildlife.

The meeting is open to the public and is expected to end around noon.
