Audit: Cities, counties in California can improve cannabis-permitting process
The audit examined Sacramento and South Lake Tahoe, among other areas
Cities and counties in the state can do more to improve the process when someone applies for a permit to open a new cannabis business in the area, according to a report the California State Auditor released Thursday.The audit examined six jurisdictions: Sacramento, South Lake Tahoe, Fresno, Monterey County, San Diego and Santa Barbara County.It looked at whether they used a blind scoring process while evaluating cannabis business applications, hiding the identities of applicants to make sure no one gets preferential treatment.The audit revealed Sacramento and South Lake Tahoe do have those guidelines in place, but it also found that South Lake Tahoe did not always actually follow its guidelines, failing to fully redact the names of the business or owner at times.Another issue was background checks. The cities and counties all have requirements to screen for things like drug trafficking or embezzlement convictions when someone applies to open a cannabis business, but all six were inconsistent in documenting that applicants passed those background checks.The audit also showed that it took the cities and counties an average of more than 2 and a half years to approve applications.Sacramento said there are now more than 280 permitted cannabis businesses in the city while South Lake Tahoe set a cap on how many permits it issues, limiting it to no more than four retailers.
