LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Residents in south Lake County are invited to attend informative town hall meetings featuring news and updates on Measure O and Measure P, the two marijuana cultivation ballot measures appearing on the November election ballot.
The meetings – which will take place on Thursday, Oct. 9, and Thursday, Oct. 16 – will offer information about the ballot measures and revisit the benefits of Measure N, voted in by a majority of Lake County citizens in the June primary election.
The first event is the monthly Middletown Area Town Hall (MATH) meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 9, at the Middletown Community Center Activity Room in the new county senior center and library building located on Calistoga Road (Highway 29) in downtown Middletown.
This meeting is open to the public.
Hidden Valley Lake residents are encouraged to attend a special meeting at the Hidden Valley Lake Community Center in Hidden Valley Lake at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 16, hosted by the Protect Our Lake County Committee, which has formed to oppose measures O and P.
The one-hour meeting will focus on the potential impacts of measures O and P within the community and within the Hidden Valley Lake Home Owners Association.
Measure O, titled the “Medical Marijuana Control Act,” and Measure P, “The Freedom to Garden Human Rights Restoration Act of 2014” are both cannabis cultivation measures authored by pro-marijuana activists.
A yes vote in November for either O or P results in more lenient regulations for cannabis cultivation while a no vote keeps the voter-approved Measure N county ordinance in place. That measure, among other things, prevents outdoor grows within community growth boundaries and also governs the size of indoor grows.
District 1 Supervisor Jim Comstock, will be on hand to answer questions along with Beau Moore of Cobb, Monica Rosenthal of Middletown and other committee members representing Protect Our Lake County.
If you are unable to attend but would like more information contact Rosenthal at monica@protectourlakecounty or go to www.ProtectOurLakeCounty.com .
