I don't know how the law works in this regard, I only know the tech end of it.
If only someone knew, or was, their IT guy.

Is there an online report form? I only see the PDF for mail in, could you link me to it? Or are they taking emails?
Aren't we able to see all of the complaints with a simple FOIA request? Even a FOIA on county emails if that's how they are accepting them? Or look for outside influences on the ban. If the complaints are anonymized it might not matter, recognizing if its automated, 5 people or 100 people complaining should be noticeable. Then maybe we can work towards (dis?)proving if it's county employees using public tax dollars to generate these complaints.
The rabbit hole goes deep...
For more fun, go to the county offices with a laptop and scanner and start scanning all public documents that might be relevant. After which you may post here!Yes FOIA / CPRA requests are powerful and can always be filed but you need to be specific with each request you file.
FOIA forms are fed forms specifically to find out things regarding federal grant money going to Butte for helicopters, money, etc. This would be sent to a federal agency.
CPRA Is the equivalent the FOIA but for all California governments- state, local, county, etc.
The request will be routed to the relevant department(s) you mention in the request. Attorneys, Newspaper, and media reporters are usually experienced at filing these correctly to get good results. Here are the CPRA forms for local government.

Anything can be requested for example all emails exchanged between the Board of Supervisors. All the emails between the code enforcement staff. Even if they're not using their county email address and using personal emails those can also be obtained. Etc. etc.
I think we should all start calling in different days giving different complaints and different addresses and start sending them on a bunch of wild goose chases all over butte.see how that goes and how their money and time is spent bunch of lame ass sheriffs and code enforcement
