The Nevada County board of supervisors approved five individuals to serve as mediators in cases where medical marijuana growers want to appeal an order from the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office to abate their grow operation.
The appointment will pave the way for the administrative process necessary to enforce the controversial medical marijuana ordinance, passed by the board of supervisors in May.
Under the ordinance, the NCSO is empowered to serve abatement notices requiring property owners growing medical marijuana to destroy their plants or alter the grow operation enough to be in compliance with the regulations.
If a property owner receives a “Notice to Abate” and feels the notice is in error, he has the right to file an appeal, which is heard by a “hearing officer.”
