Oak Creek Votes to Raise Fees for Medical Marijuana Dispensaries, Growing Operations

[Jacob Bell]

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo. – The town board of Oak Creek in northwest Colorado has voted to boost fees for operating medical marijuana dispensaries and growing operations.

The Steamboat Pilot & Today reports that the board passed draft legislation this week that would raise the initial application fee for a dispensary to $2,500, up from $750. It would raise the initial inspection fee from $150 today to $1,500.

For existing dispensaries and grow operations, annual licensing and inspection fees that were $75 each will now be $1,000 apiece.

If a business is found out of compliance in an inspection, an additional $1,000 inspection fee will be assessed for each instance.

However the future of marijuana dispensaries in Oak Creek is in doubt. In November, voters will decide whether to ban them.

Do these monies go into some facet of the medicinal cannabis program - to pay for the salaries of compliance/inspection officers, to offset the cost of the paperwork/staff who issue the paperwork to individual users, et cetera - or do they go into that local government's general budget fund?

I'll give you 2 guesses where most of that money will end up going and you won't need both to get the right answer!

shakedown thugs is all they are !! in mendocino county the d a is chargeing a 50.00 per plant "eradication fee " . for every plant over the limit. this also buys the grower probation and varying time of community service. its already collected over $117,000 dollars. sounds like something the mob would do, only they would get arrested.
