STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE:

TO:

Meeting of February 8, 2022
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBMITTED BY: Thomas Lloyd Smith, City Attorney TLS
SUBJECT: Redistricting: Receipt of Public Input and Selection of Final Map

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council receive public comment and select the Final Redistricting Map redefining the boundaries of all City Council electoral districts of the City.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

DISCUSSION
The City adopted its current district boundaries based on 2010 census data as required by law. The districts must now be redrawn using the 2020 census data and in compliance with the FAIR MAPS Act, which was adopted by the California legislature as AB 849 and took effect January 1, 2020.

Under the Act, the City Council shall draw and adopt boundaries using the following criteria in the listed order of priority (Elections Code 21621(c)):

1. Comply with the federal requirements of equal population and the Voting Rights Act

2. Be geographically contiguous

3. Undivided neighborhoods and “communities of interest” (socio-economic geographic areas that should be kept together)

4. Display easily identifiable boundaries

5. Be compact (do not bypass one group of people to get to a more distant group of people)

6. Shall not favor or discriminate against a political party At its January 11, 2022 public hearing, the Council directed the inclusion of additional refinements to the both Map “B” and Map “91”, which were presented at the January 25, 2022 Public Hearing as Maps “B” and “91” respectively. On February 8, 2022, the Council has scheduled a Special Meeting to consider and designate a Final Redistricting Map for presentation and final selection by adoption of Resolution at its February 8, 2022 Regular Antioch City Council Report
February 8, 2022 Agenda Item #SM-1 2
City Council meeting.

The Final Redistricting Map will comply with the federal requirements of equal population and the Voting Rights Act, and the California Fair Maps Act, in the following manner:
(1) The districts are geographically contiguous. The districts are arrayed in a simple and logical form without any islands and minimal intrusions from the area of one district into another;
(2) To the extent practicable, the Final Redistricting Map respects the geographic integrity of local neighborhoods and local communities of interest. The Council heard testimony about what constitute communities of interest in the public eye. (3) The districts are easily identifiable and understandable by residents. The districts in the Final Redistricting Map form a relatively simple pattern. (4) To the extent practicable, the districts are geographically compact.Their configurations for the most part are compact, simple shapes, with nearby populations included in the same districts.
(5) The districts are balanced in terms of total population and voting age population.

The districts are well within the one-person/one-vote deviations permitted under federal and state voting rights laws.
(6) The districts conform to concentration of minority voters. The Final Redistricting Map creates one majority/minority Black voting district.

Before adopting a Final Redistricting Map of district boundaries, at least four hearings must be held for the public to provide input about the composition of City Council districts. These hearing requirements include at least: (1) one hearing before any maps are drawn, (2) two hearings after maps are drawn, and (3) one hearing or workshop to be held on a Saturday, Sunday, or after 6 p.m. on a weekday. The City Council redistricting public hearing dates include the following: Tuesday, October 12, 2021, Saturday, October 16, 2021, Tuesday, November 9, 2021, Tuesday, December 14, 2021, Tuesday, January 11, 2022, Tuesday, January 25, 2022 and Tuesday, February 8, 2022.

12. TRANSITIONAL HOUSING AD HOC COMMITTEE DISSOLUTION OR CREATION OF

A STANDING COMMITTEE

Administrative Services Director Mastay presented the staff report dated January 11, 2021, recommending the City Council take the following actions: 1) Adopt the resolution ratifying the term of the Transitional Housing Ad Hoc Committee from December 15, 2020 to January 11, 2022 and dissolving the ad hoc committee. 2) Determine whether to establish a new ad hoc committee or create a standing committee. (Please note: Ad Hoc Committees may be dissolved, and another created with a different and specific purpose, in the same genre).

Andrew Becker, Here Today Home Tomorrow, expressed concern that this item was being considered so late in the evening. He stated that he believed the committee had not worked with transparency because his proposal for a possible development project had not been brought before Council. He reported he raised the issue that the committee had ceased to exist and the response he received was that it did not matter. He urged Council to understand what was being brought before them.

Councilmember Barbanica reported that he along with Mayor Thorpe had recently met with several individuals as part of the duties with this committee, and participants had attempted to exclude him from the process knowing that he did not support a long-term housing project in his District. He noted there was a process to go through which had not occurred. He spoke to the Ad Hoc Committee accomplishments.

Councilmember Torres-Walker thanked Mr. Becker and advocates serving the unhoused. She explained that she received a recommendation from stakeholders to investigate Project Home Key funding and Mr. Becker was also looking into that funding mechanism, so she had met with him to discuss how to organize a partnership. She explained that Mr. Becker was told the conversation needed to go to the Ad Hoc Committee; however, he wanted to meet with key city staff and the Councilmember that he had already been working with on this item. Additionally,

ANTIOCH CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting

she stated once it was determined that the ad hoc was operating outside a mandate the item should have come back to the City Council. She supported , the establishment of a Housing and Homelessness Commission, and working collaboratively with members of the community on housing issues.

Mayor Thorpe stated he was not in support of continuing the ad hoc committee because they could build a Human Rights and Equity Commission of people with the expertise to address human rights, including housing. He commented that Assistant City Manager Bayon Moore would still appreciate feedback from Council related to transitional housing during the interim period.

Councilmember Torres-Walker added that nothing prevented staff or individual Councilmembers from engaging community members in conversations on initiatives and authority to contact stakeholders to gather input.

Mayor Thorpe stated he would bring back a process for the establishment of a Human Rights and Equity Commission, as a future agenda item.

A motion was made by Councilmember Barbanica and seconded by Councilmember Torres- Walker to adopt the resolution ratifying the term of the Transitional Housing Ad Hoc Committee from December 15, 2020 to January 11, 2022, and dissolving the ad hoc committee.

Speaking to the motion, Councilmember Ogorchock stated that she felt the ad hoc committee had been very successful and should remain its own entity. She requested staff maintain a calendar for Ad Hoc Committees.

In response to Councilmember Torres-Walker, Mayor Thorpe commented that he would bring back a temporary overlay to address housing and homelessness items.

STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: Regular Meeting of February 8, 2022

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

SUBMITTED BY: Thomas Lloyd Smith, City Attorney TLS
SUBJECT: Second Reading: Ordinance Amending the Antioch Municipal Code by Adding Section 9-5.3848, Regarding Temporary Cannabis Events on Public Property

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the proposed ordinance (“Attachment A”), amending the Antioch Municipal Code by adding Section 9-5.3848 regarding temporary cannabis events on public property.

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed action may generate increased revenue by allowing limited temporary cannabis events linked with retail sales by Antioch licensed cannabis businesses.

DISCUSSION
The State of California Department of Cannabis Control (“Department”) has the discretion to authorize a temporary cannabis event. Only the holder of a temporary cannabis event license issued by the Department may hold a temporary cannabis event, which is subject to additional restrictions as a Type 14 cannabis license holder.

Restrictions on a temporary cannabis event include limited duration and hours, Department approval of security, prohibition on sales of tobacco or alcohol at the event, restrictions on storage and marking of cannabis, track-and-trace regulations, and exclusion of minors.

One possible location for a temporary cannabis event is the Contra Costa Event Park (the “County Fairgrounds”), located at 1201 West 10th Street in Antioch, which is a District Agricultural Association site that holds fairs, expositions, and exhibitions to highlight various industries, enterprises, resources, and products of the state.

Although the City may not have land use control over the County Fairgrounds, the Department of Cannabis Control requires approval by the applicable city or county for an event to be held on that type of public property.

The proposed ordinance will grant discretion to the City Council to allow a temporary cannabis event at the Contra Costa Event Park.

Staff Report to the City Council
February 8, 2022 Agenda Item #F 2
A temporary cannabis event may include retail sales. To assure the City benefits from a temporary cannabis event within its boundaries, the proposed ordinance would impose a condition that any retail sales only be conducted pursuant to a cannabis retail license issued by the City.

The Department requires submittal of a security plan for a temporary cannabis event.

However, to protect any interests unique to the City, the proposed ordinance would require the event organizer to provide not only a security plan, but also a traffic control plan, satisfactory to the City. Likewise, while the Department requires evidence of insurance, the proposed ordinance would require the event organizer to provide insurance satisfactory to the City Attorney prior to the event.

The Department has the discretion to immediately halt the temporary cannabis event if certain violations occur. The proposed ordinance includes a similar restriction on the event so that the City can be assured that the event and the event organizer comply with the City’s terms and conditions.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANTIOCH ADDING SECTION 9-5.3848 TO THE ANTIOCH MUNICIPAL CODE

REGARDING TEMPORARY CANNABIS EVENTS ON PUBLIC PROPERTY
The City Council of the City of Antioch does ordain as follows:

SECTION 1:

Beginning in 2018, the City Council has adopted several ordinances relating to cannabis businesses within the City. These ordinances govern the permanent locations of various types of cannabis businesses.

SECTION 2:

The State of California, through the Department of Cannabis Controls, allows temporary cannabis events on specified conditions at certain locations. The City has evaluated this type of temporary, limited event and determined that it could be beneficial to the City, its residents, and businesses by offering educational and cultural opportunities at the event, as well as additional revenue for the City and tis social equity programs.

SECTION 3:

Section 9-5.3848 is added to state as follows:

§ 9-5.3848 TEMPORARY CANNABIS EVENTS

The City Council may authorize a temporary cannabis event if the event meets all of the following terms and conditions:

(A) The event is held either at the Contra Costa Event Park, 1201 West 10th Street, Antioch, CA 94509 or at a District Agricultural Association event.

(B) Any retail sales are conducted pursuant to a valid cannabis business license allowing retail sales and issued by the City.

(C) The event complies with state law and regulations.

(D) The event will be conducted by the holder of a cannabis event organizer license and will be a licensed temporary cannabis event.

(E) The event organizer agrees to submit traffic control and security plans to the City and to comply with the City’s directions for traffic control and security before, during, and after the event.

2 (F) The event organizer provides insurance protecting the City in an amount and type, and with an admitted surety, satisfactory to the City Attorney at least 90 days prior to the event.

Failure by the event organizer to comply with any of the above terms and conditions shall constitute the basis for the City, whether through action of the Council, the City Manager, the City Attorney, or the Chief of Police, to revoke the City Council’s authorization for the event and to provide written notice thereof to the event organizer and the Department of Cannabis Control.

Because the temporary cannabis event may only be held on property owned by the state, the county, or a district agricultural association, Section 9-5.3845 does not apply to this type of event.

SECTION 4: Severability:

If any section, subsection, provision or part of this ordinance, or its application to any person or circumstance, is held to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, the remainder of this ordinance, and the application of such provision to other person or circumstances, shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect and, to that end, the provisions of this ordinance are severable.

SECTION 5. CEQA:

The above amendments to the City’s Municipal Code are not considered a project under the California Environmental Quality Act under the common sense exemption (CEQA Guidelines §15061(b)(3) because the proposed amendments will not have a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change or effect on the environment.

SECTION 6:

This ordinance shall take effect and be enforced thirty (30) days from and after the date of its adoption and shall be published once within fifteen (15) days upon passage and adoption in a newspaper of general circulation printed and published in the City of Antioch. * * * * * * *

3 I HEREBY CERTIFYthat the forgoing ordinance was introduced and adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Antioch, held on the 25th of January 2022, and passed and adopted at a regular meeting thereof, held on the 8th day of February 2022, by the following vote:

SUBJECT: Unhoused Resident Services - Resolution Authorizing the Allocation of an Additional $56,700 from the General Fund for a Total Not to Exceed $206,700 as Payment to the Executive Inn for Stays Prior to Placement at the Delta Landing Interim Housing Program

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution allocating an additional $56,700 from the General Fund and payment to the Executive Inn in a total amount not to exceed a $206,700.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Antioch City Council previously allocated General Fund resources to address unhoused resident needs with a $476,403 set aside of resources. These earmarked funds are now programmed in total. The requested authorization of $56,700 from the General Fund is in addition to the set aside sum and will be addressed as a budget amendment at a future date.

STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: Regular Meeting of February 8, 2022

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

SUBMITTED BY: Thomas Lloyd Smith, City Attorney TLS
SUBJECT: Redistricting: Resolution Adopting Final Map

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the resolution (“Attachment A”) and the Final Redistricting Map (“Attachment __”) adjusting and redefining the boundaries of the City Council electoral districts of the City.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

DISCUSSION
The City adopted its current district boundaries based on 2010 census data as required by law. The districts must now be redrawn using the 2020 census data and in compliance with the FAIR MAPS Act, which was adopted by the California legislature as AB 849 and took effect January 1, 2020.

Under the Act, the City Council shall draw and adopt boundaries using the following criteria in the listed order of priority (Elections Code 21621(c)):

1. Comply with the federal requirements of equal population and the Voting Rights Act

2. Be geographically contiguous

3. Undivided neighborhoods and “communities of interest” (socio-economic geographic areas that should be kept together)

4. Display easily identifiable boundaries

5. Be compact (do not bypass one group of people to get to a more distant group of people)

6. Shall not favor or discriminate against a political party At its January 11, 2022 public hearing the Council directed the inclusion of additional refinements to the both Map “B” and Map “91”, which were presented at the January 25, 2022 Public Hearing as Maps “B” and “91” respectively. On February 8, 2022, the City Council has scheduled a Special Meeting to consider and designate a Final Redistricting Map for presentation and final selection at the February 8, 2022 Regular City Council Antioch City Council Report
February 8, 2022 Agenda Item #5 2
meeting by adoption of the attached Resolution (“Attachment A”).

The Final Redistricting Map complies with the federal requirements of equal population and the Voting Rights Act, and the California Fair Maps Act, in the following manner:
(1) The districts are geographically contiguous. The districts are arrayed in a simple and logical form without any islands and minimal intrusions from the area of one district into another;
(2) To the extent practicable, the Final Redistricting Map respects the geographic integrity of local neighborhoods and local communities of interest. The Council heard testimony about what constitute communities of interest in the public eye. (3) The districts are easily identifiable and understandable by residents. The districts in the Final Redistricting Map form a relatively simple pattern. (4) To the extent practicable, the districts are geographically compact.Their configurations for the most part are compact, simple shapes, with nearby populations included in the same districts.
(5) The districts are balanced in terms of total population and voting age population.

The districts are well within the one-person/one-vote deviations permitted under federal and state voting rights laws.
(6) The districts conform to concentration of minority voters. The Final Redistricting Map creates one majority/minority Black voting district.

Before adopting a final map of district boundaries, at least four hearings must be held for the public to provide input about the composition of City Council districts. These hearing requirements include at least: (1) one hearing before any maps are drawn, (2) two hearings after maps are drawn, and (3) one hearing or workshop to be held on a Saturday, Sunday, or after 6 p.m. on a weekday. The City Council redistricting public hearing dates include the following: Tuesday, October 12, 2021, Saturday, October 16, 2021, Tuesday, November 9, 2021, Tuesday, December 14, 2021, Tuesday, January 11, 2022, Tuesday, January 25, 2022 and Tuesday, February 8, 2022.
