The federal Drug Enforcement Administration last week raided the Covelo home of the county's first applicant for a 99-plant exemption under the county's newly revised medical marijuana cultivation code.

The Mendocino County Board of Supervisors finalized changes in the county's ordinance governing the cultivation of medical marijuana earlier this year - codified as section 9.31 of the county code. Among the changes is an exemption to the county's 25-plants-per-parcel rule for cooperatives that apply for a permit with the Sheriff's Office.
The changes were effective in May, and the county adopted permit and garden inspection fees June 22. The permit requires applicants to buy a zip tie for each of their plants from the Sheriff's Office, which are intended to signify that the plants were inspected for compliance with state and local law.

Since the fees were adopted in late June, Allman noted, about 10 co-ops have applied for the permits. The Sheriff's Office has sold $30,000 worth of zip ties since January.
