AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARVIN
AMENDING ORDINANCE 2022-479 WHICH ESTABLISHED TITLE 8,
CHAPTER 8.29, SECTION 8.29.05 COMMERCIAL CANNABIS ACTIVITY

OF THE ARVIN MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADDRESS THE OUTDOOR AND
MIXED-CULTIVATION OF COMMERCIAL CANNABIS.

WHEREAS, the City of Arvin ("the City") has the authority under Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution, to enact regulations for the public peace, morals, and welfare of the City; and
WHEREAS, in 1996, with the adoption of Proposition 215, the California voters approved the Compassionate Use Act (Health and Safety Code § 11362.5) to ensure that seriously ill Californians have the right to obtain and use cannabis for medical purposes where that medical use is deemed appropriate and has been recommended by a physician, without fear of criminal prosecution under limited, specified circumstances; and WHEREAS, in 2004, the State Legislature enacted SB 420, the Medical Marijuana Program Act (Health and Safety Code § 11362.7 et seq.), clarifying the scope of the Compassionate Use Act, providing additional statutory guidance regarding medical cannabis use, and allowing cities and counties to adopt supplemental rules and regulations; and WHEREAS, on October 9, 2015, the Governor signed the Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act ("MMRSA"), comprised of California legislative bills AB 243, AB 266, and SB 643, creating a comprehensive state licensing system for the commercial cultivation, manufacture, retail sale, transport, distribution, delivery, and testing of medicinal marijuana, all subject to local control; and
WHEREAS, on June 27, 2016, the Governor signed SB 837, changing the title of MMRSA to the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act ("MCRSA"), changing the terminology therein from "medical marijuana" or "marijuana" to "medical cannabis" or "cannabis," and making other technical changes thereto. SB 837 also adopted regulations relating to the use and diversion of water in connection with the cultivation of cannabis; and WHEREAS, at the November 8, 2016, general election, the California voters approved Proposition 64, the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act ("AUMA"), establishing a comprehensive regulatory and licensing scheme for commercial recreational (adultuse) cannabis operations, and legalizing limited personal adult-use cannabis use, possession, and cultivation; and
WHEREAS, on June 27, 2017, Governor Brown signed Senate Bill 94, the Medicinal and Adult Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act ("MAUCRSA"), which merged the regulatory regimes of MCRSA and AUMA; and
WHEREAS, MAUCRSA, at Business & Professions Code §26050, establishes 20 different types of state licenses, including permit types pertaining to cannabis cultivation, manufacturing, testing, retailing, and distribution, which medicinal and adult-use cannabis

businesses must obtain, depending on the nature of the cannabis business, in order to operate legally in the State; and
WHEREAS, MAUCRSA, at Business & Professions Code §26200(a)(1), provides that local jurisdictions may adopt and enforce local ordinances to regulate or prohibit any or all types of medicinal and adult-use business operations licensed by the state under Business & Professions Code §26050, including, but not limited to, by imposing local zoning and land use requirements; and
WHEREAS, MAUCRSA, at Business & Professions Code §26055(d), provides that a State commercial cannabis license may not be issued to an applicant whose operations would violate the provisions of any local ordinance or regulation; and WHEREAS, MAUCRSA, at Business & Professions Code §26201, provides that any standards, requirements, and regulations regarding health and safety, environmental protection, testing, security, food safety, and worker protections established by the state for the various types of medicinal and adult-use commercial cannabis operations licensed by the state under Business & Professions Code §26050 shall be the minimum standards, and that a local jurisdiction may establish additional or more stringent standards, requirements, and regulations; and WHEREAS, pursuant to MAUCRSA, the California Bureau of Cannabis Control ("BCC"), Department of Food and Agriculture ("CDFA"), and Department of Public Health ("CDPH") adopted emergency regulations which establish additional State license types and specify the process and requirements for obtaining state licenses to engage in all types of commercial medicinal and adult-use cannabis activities in the State of California ("Regulations"); and
WHEREAS, the Regulations were approved by the State Office of Administrative Law on December 7, 2017; and
WHEREAS, the BCC is now accepting applications for temporary and annual state licenses for commercial cannabis retailers, distributors, microbusinesses, testing laboratories, outdoor grows, and cannabis events; and
WHEREAS, the CDPH is now accepting applications for temporary and annual state licenses for commercial cannabis manufacturers; and
WHEREAS, the CDFA is now accepting applications for temporary and annual state licenses for commercial cannabis cultivators, nurseries and processors; and WHEREAS, several California cities have reported negative impacts of cannabis cultivation and related activities, including but not limited to offensive odors, criminal activity, (such as trespassing, theft, violent robberies and robbery attempts, and the illegal sale and distribution of cannabis), and public health and safety concerns (such as fire hazards and problems associated with mold, fungus, and pests); and
WHEREAS, cannabis plants, as they begin to flower and for a period of two months or

more, produce a strong odor, offensive to many people, and detectable far beyond property boundaries if grown outdoors or if grown indoors without proper ventilation, odor control, and other regulations; and
WHEREAS, due to the value of cannabis plants and their strong smell (which alerts others to their locations), cannabis cultivation has been linked to break-ins, robbery, armed robbery, theft and attendant violence and injury, creating an increased risk to public safety; and WHEREAS, unregulated cannabis cultivation can be harmful to the welfare of the surrounding community and its residents and can constitute a public nuisance, in that cannabis cultivation has been shown to involve avoidance of environmental laws and regulations, and has resulted in the pollution of waters and navigable waterways in the State of California; and WHEREAS, unregulated indoor cultivation of cannabis has potential adverse effects on the structural integrity of the buildings in which cannabis is cultivated, and the use of high wattage grow lights and excessive use of electricity in such buildings increases the risk of fire, which presents a risk of property damage to the building and neighboring buildings, and endangers the building's occupants and nearby residents; and
WHEREAS, unregulated indoor cultivation of cannabis can also be harmful to the public health, safety and welfare in that electrical modifications risk fires, poor irrigation can cause mold, overloaded circuits can leave entire neighborhoods in the dark, plant chemicals can cause illness, improper carbon dioxide mixed with insufficient ventilation can cause injury or death, and structural changes put first responders in danger if they rush into the unknown; and WHEREAS, the Attorney General's August 2008 Guidelines for the Security and NonDiversion of Marijuana Grown for Medical Use recognize that the cultivation or other concentration of cannabis in any location or premises without adequate security increases the risk that nearby homes or businesses may be negatively impacted by nuisance activity such as loitering and/or crime; and
WHEREAS, there are numerous well publicized studies and reports, as well as numerous documented incidents in Kern County and throughout the State, which show that unregulated cannabis activities have a significant adverse effect on the community; and WHEREAS, in the absence of a formal regulatory framework, the adverse impacts frequently associated with commercial cannabis activities will occur, resulting in a potentially significant negative impact upon the environment and upon public health, safety, and welfare of the community; and
WHEREAS, outdoor cannabis cultivation and unregulated indoor cannabis cultivation are likely to result in these negative effects on the public health, safety, and welfare in the City, as reflected by the experiences of other cities; and
WHEREAS, the City has a compelling interest in protecting the public health, safety, and welfare of its citizens, residents, visitors and businesses, and in preserving the peace and quiet of the neighborhoods within the City by regulating commercial cannabis activities; and

WHEREAS, based on the foregoing and pursuant to the above-described express statutory authority and its police power, the City desires to explicitly prohibit certain cannabis activities, including storefront sales and outdoor cultivation (for both medicinal and adult-use), and to enact reasonable regulations for other commercial cannabis activities in order to protect and promote public health, safety and welfare; and
WHEREAS, under U.S. Supreme Court precedent, government agencies generally may conduct regulatory inspections of "closely regulated" businesses without reasonable suspicion that the business subject to inspection has violated a statute or regulation, provided that the governmental agency conducting the inspection has "special needs," beyond its ordinary interest in enforcement of criminal statutes, to conduct inspections, the regulations in the particular area could not be enforced if public officials could conduct inspections only when they have a reasonable suspicion that a violation has occurred, the businesses subjected to inspection are engaged in a particular category of activity that reduces the reasonable expectation of privacy of those engaged in such activities in relation to the inspections at issue, and the discretion of inspecting officials is reasonably constrained by the authorizing statue (People v. Maikhio, 51 Ca1.4th 1074, 1091-92 (2011)); and
WHEREAS, commercial cannabis businesses cultivate, manufacture, dispense, distribute, test, or engage in other business activities relating to a historically criminalized substance which is often used for medical purposes, which can cause health and safety issues for those consuming it, which can be unsafe if improperly cultivated, manufactured or handled, and which is subject to illegal diversion, and as a result, state and local government agencies, including the City, have a strong governmental interest in regulating such businesses; and WHEREAS, businesses engaged in commercial cannabis activities constitute "closely regulated" businesses which have a reduced reasonable expectation of privacy due to the strong governmental interest in regulating such activities to protect against the potential risks to public health and safety relating to such activities, and therefore the probable cause and warrant requirements ordinarily required for law enforcement searches are relaxed as to such businesses; and
WHEREAS, the City has a special need, beyond its ordinary interest in enforcement of criminal statutes, to conduct regulatory inspections of commercial cannabis businesses due to the unique threats to public health, safety and welfare posed by such businesses, including but not limited to risks of fire and explosion resulting from improper cultivation, manufacturing or other processes used by such businesses, and the increased risk of crime, in the absence of proper security measures, resulting from the presence of valuable property on the premises of such businesses; and
WHEREAS, the regulations imposed by this Ordinance could not be effectively enforced if the City's officials could conduct inspections only when they have a reasonable suspicion that a violation has occurred, because often the threats to public health, safety and welfare arising from a commercial cannabis business will not be apparent from the outside, and any prior notice requirements associated with such inspections would allow such businesses to temporarily conceal or remove the conditions that give rise to such threats for purposes of passing the inspection, only to allow such conditions to return thereafter; and

WHEREAS, based on the foregoing, the City Council intends to authorize reasonable suspicionless inspections of commercial cannabis business in the City by local officials as necessary to enforce this Ordinance and thereby safeguard public health, safety and welfare, and to impose reasonable constraints on the discretion of such inspecting officials by limiting their inspection authority to confirming compliance with this Ordinance and the applicable laws and regulations referenced herein; and
WHEREAS, in 2010, the City adopted Sections 17.02.435 and 17.07.01 of Title 17 of the Arvin Municipal Code pertaining to Medical Marijuana Dispensaries, placing a complete ban on dispensaries in the City based upon various health, safety and welfare and land use findings relating to marijuana cultivation, dispensing, and consumption; and WHEREAS, on November 21, 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 443, which added Chapter 8.29 "Commercial Cannabis Activity" to Title 8 of the Arvin Municipal Code, and which repealed Sections 17.02.435 and 17.07.01 of Title 17 of the Arvin Municipal Code pertaining to Medical Marijuana Dispensaries; and
WHEREAS, the Arvin Municipal Code already contained a Chapter 8.29 ("Sign Regulations [Private Property]") prior to adoption of Ordinance No. 443, and said chapter remains in full force and effect;
WHEREAS, the City Council renumbered and relocated the duplicative Chapter 8.29 "Commercial Cannabis Activity" to Chapter 8.29 of the Arvin Municipal Code, and amend and supplemented the regulations imposed by said chapter on commercial cannabis businesses and applicants in the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council sees fit to amend and add the sections of the Arvin Municipal Code as listed below to regulate and govern outdoor commercial cannabis activity; and WHEREAS, nothing in this Ordinance shall be construed to: (1) allow any person to engage in conduct that endangers others or causes a public nuisance; or (2) allow any activity relating to the cultivation, manufacturing, testing, distribution, or consumption of cannabis which is illegal under state or federal law; and
WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this ordinance have occurred.

NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Arvin does hereby ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein.

SECTION 2. The City Council finds and determines that the Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that it will have a significant effect on the environment, as this Ordinance merely amends the Arvin Municipal Code to establish new and amended procedures and requirements for the permitting and regulation of certain commercial cannabis activities, the environmental impacts of which will be assessed on a use-specific basis. (CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3)). Furthermore, the City Council finds and determines the Ordinance would also be subject to Categorical Exemptions under CEQA Guidelines sections 15307 and 15308, as it consists of regulations and

restrictions on activities to assure the maintenance, restoration, or enhancement of natural resources and the environment by prohibiting environmentally destructive components of unregulated cannabis cultivation. (CEQA Guidelines §§ 15307 and 15308.) Finally, none of the exceptions to Categorical Exemptions set forth in the CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply to this Ordinance. Therefore, the City Council also adopts Categorical Exemptions for this Ordinance, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15307 and 15308.

SECTION 3. Section 8.29.05.02 Definitions is deleted, and Section 8.29.05.02 Definitions is hereby added to read as follows: (Note: Underlined text and highlighted text to show added definitions )

applicant of and any assignee shall pay, upon approval of each Commercial Cannabis permit, a minimum sum of $25,000.00 annually for each permit and/or activity, regardless of operational status. The annual fee is in addition to the commercial cannabis tax established under Chapter 3.19.

Project title: Code Amendment - CA 2023-01 Title 8, of the City Council of the City of Arvin amending Title 8, Chapter 8.29, Section 8.29.05 Commercial Cannabis Activity of the Arvin Municipal Code to adopt new and amended permitting standards and regulations applicable to commercial cannabis outdoor cultivation activities in the City.

Project location: City locations within the industrial and agricultural zones.

Description of nature, purpose, and beneficiaries of project: Code amendments to Title 8 Health, Chapter 8.29 Marijuana, Section 8.29.05 Commercial Cannabis Activity allowing outdoor cultivation which benefits the City of Arvin and business applicants establishing commercial cannabis business within the City of Arvin.

Name of public agency approving project: City of Arvin, CA – City Council Adopted Ordinance No. 2024- XX Outdoor Cultivation – Commercial Cannabis on February 28, 2024.

Name and person or agency
carrying out the project
City of Arvin, 200 Campus Drive, Arvin, CA 93023
Exempt status: CEQA Guidelines, General Rule Exemption sections,15061(b)(3), 15307, 15308, and required findings 15300.2.

Reasons why the project is exempt: The City Council finds and determines that the Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that it will have a significant effect on the environment, as this Ordinance merely amends the Arvin Municipal Code to establish new and amended procedures and requirements for the permitting and regulation of certain commercial cannabis activities, the environmental impacts of which will be assessed on a use-specific basis. (CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3)). Furthermore, the City Council finds and determines the Ordinance would also be subject to Categorical Exemptions under CEQA Guidelines sections 15307 and 15308, as it consists of regulations and restrictions on activities to assure the maintenance, restoration, or enhancement of natural resources and the environment by prohibiting environmentally destructive components of unregulated cannabis cultivation. (CEQA Guidelines §§ 15307 and 15308.) Finally, none of the exceptions to Categorical Exemptions set forth in the CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply to this Ordinance. Therefore, the City Council also adopts Categorical Exemptions for this Ordinance, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15307 and 15308.

Staff Report – Consideration and Approval of LOS with LahavGE / APC.

CITY OF ARVIN
Staff Report
Meeting Date: February 27, 2024
TO: Arvin City Council
FROM: Jeff Jones, City Manager
SUBJECT: Consideration of Approval of Letter of Support with Lahav Green Energy Ltd. / Arvin Power Company.

BACKGROUND:

Over the past several months, the LahavGE / Arvin Power Company (APC) has made presentations to the City Council regarding potential partnership with the City of Arvin regarding energy projects. For your consideration tonight is a ‘Letter of Support’ (LOS) which discusses how the City will support LahavGE / APC related to a potential solar power program.

According to the LahavGE / APC this power program will include and possibly provide benefits to the City of Arvin as follows:
• An estimated annual energy production of 105,000 MWh a year; • A take or pay Power Purchase Agreement structure;
• Power Purchase Agreement term of 25 years;
• Estimated price per kWh of $0.19 in the first year of production, with an annual escalation rate tied to an inflation measure capped at 2% annually;
• Arvin Power Company - A.P.C. will maintain the Solar Project, charging $0.06 per kWh ; • Federal and state tax benefits (including ITC and depreciation benefits), subsidies, and renewable energy credits or like attributes to accrue to the owner of/investor in the Solar Project; and • A Solar Project purchase option after 25 years at the fair market value of the Solar Project.

In addition, LahavGE has stated that the development of the Solar Project in or near Arvin is expected to provide economic benefits to the City through industrial and agricultural development, clean energy generation, and job creation. LahavGE / APC is also committed to establishing its corporate headquarters and billing center within the City of Arvin.

LahavGE / APC has agreed to reimburse the City for reasonable costs associated with Staff and City Attorney time and reasonable and documented Consultant fees related to the Solar Project.

Staff Report – Consideration and Approval of LOS with LahavGE / APC.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

At this time, staff recommends that the City Council review the LOS and request that staff work with LahavGE / Arvin Power Company to determine whether this proposed Solar Project is in the best interest of the City and its residents. If the LOS is implemented, staff estimates that this will cost the City between $50,000 and $100,000 in consultant costs. City staff will also have to re-direct priorities of other city operations in order to commit the necessary time to support APC/City projects. LahavGE / APC have agreed to reimburse those costs in order for the City to move forward with the LOI.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

An estimated unbudgeted expense of between $50,000 and $100,000 for consultant costs.

Potential cost savings of $85,000 (per LahavGE/APC estimates) per year in energy savings to the City. It should be noted that the City already has a grant with the Federal Transportation Authority for a microgrid project to provide solar energy to most of the buildings in the City hall complex so the $85,000 estimate provided by LahavGE/APC will need to be adjusted downward to reflect energy savings provided by the City hall microgrid in the future. There will possibly be other financial benefits and costs.

ATTACHMENTS:

Attached proposed letter of support between LahavGE / the Arvin Power Company and the City of Arvin. The LOS has been reviewed by both the City Attorney and the City Manager.

Yakum 6097200, Israel (“Lahav”)
Represented by Mr. Amir Geyra (CEO)
Re: Letter of Support for Lahav Green Energy Ltd. / Arvin Power Company Dear Mr. Gera,
I am writing on behalf of the City of Arvin to express the City’s support in continuing discussions and other efforts related to the proposed construction of the Solar Project described below. It is the City’s intention to work with LahavGE to determine whether this proposed Solar Project is in the best interest of the City and its residents and if so, to potentially procure electricity therefrom.

Lahav is proposing to develop within Kern County and Arvin city limits an approximate 50MW ground mounted photovoltaic solar energy system with fuel cell generators (Bloom Energy) and back-up electric storage systems (the “Solar Project”). Based on preliminary discussions, it appears that this Solar Project has the potential to contribute to the City’s industrial zone development and the City’s sustainable development goals, while aligning with the City’s commitment to renewable energy sources and environmental conservation.

LahavGE has suggested through several presentations provided to the City, that the Solar Project may provide the following benefits:
• An estimated annual energy production of 105,000 MWh a year; • A take or pay Power Purchase Agreement structure;
• Power Purchase Agreement term of 25 years;
• Estimated price per kWh of $0.19 in the first year of production, with an annual escalation rate tied to an inflation measure capped at 2% annually; • Arvin Power Company - A.P.C. will maintain the Solar Project, charging $0.06 per kWh ;
• Federal and state tax benefits (including ITC and depreciation benefits), subsidies, and renewable energy credits or like attributes to accrue to the owner of/investor in the Solar Project; and

2. Clean Energy Generation: The Solar Project is projected to generate a substantial amount of clean and renewable energy, which will reduce the City’s emissions, carbon footprint, and reliance on non-renewable energy sources. The Solar Project will also increase the City’s energy selfreliance and independence from centralized power operators.

3. Job Creation: The Solar Project will provide employment opportunities related to both the construction and operation of the Solar Project.

In light of the foregoing benefits claimed by LahavGE, and in consideration of LahavGE agreeing to reimburse the City for reasonable costs associated with Staff and City Attorney time and reasonable and documented Consultant Fees, related to the Solar Project, as stated above, it is the City’s intention to work with LahavGE to determine whether this proposed Solar Project is in the best interest of the City and its residents. As the negotiation process proceeds, should this Solar Project significantly benefit the City and its residents, the City may wish to procure electricity therefrom. As such, the City of Arvin will support LahavGE’s efforts to potentially develop the Solar Project.

Please feel free to reach out to Jeff Jones, Arvin City Manager (jeffjones@arvin,org 661-854-3134), for any further discussions or clarifications. Once again, thank you for considering our municipality as the location for the Solar Project.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Arvin/ administration have been in negotiations with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) for a mid-contract wage increase beginning in May of 2023. On October 24, 2023, the City Council established the Employee Retention Ad Hoc Committee to afford further discussion with the city negotiating team. On our about, the 6th day of November, the Employee Retention Ad Hoc Committee provided the negotiation team with direction on solutions to best suit the needs of the city and the impacted employees within the SEIU. Both parties engaged in active negotiations and mutually agreed to several items.

Attached is a side letter agreement that has been drafted to articulate the agreement made for a technology stipend (12 months in duration), master’s degree Stipend (ongoing), Catastrophic Leave and classification modifications.

All the aforementioned terms are detailed in the side letter agreement.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

The recommendation to approve the side letter between the City of Arvin and the SEIU.

Master’s Degree Stipend
Currently we have only one employee in the SEIU that is eligible currently, to our knowledge. With that, it will be $50.00 per employee, per month (total cost $600 per year).

6.C.3
Attachment: City of Arvin Catastrophic Leave Policy_DRAFT (Approval of the Service Employees International Union Local 521 “SEIU” Side guarantee that catastrophic leave will be available to the employee, as the amount of leave is dependent on employee donations.

Staff Report – Intention to Initiate Procedures for Establishing and Implementing District Based Elections.

CITY OF ARVIN
Staff Report
Meeting Date: February 27, 2024
TO: Arvin City Council
FROM: Jeff Jones, City Manager / Finance Director
SUBJECT: Report, discuss and possible approval of Resolution to resolve the intention of the City Council to initiate procedures for establishing and implementing district-based elections.

SUMMARY:

Election Systems
The City of Arvin currently utilizes an at-large election system. This means that all voters, no matter where they live in the City, have a say in electing every member of the City Council. Atlarge voting systems may operate to minimize or cancel out the voting strength of minorities, thereby defeating the choices of minority voters.

A district-based election system is one where the City is divided into separate geographical areas making up the districts, and voters residing within the district elect a representative who also resides within the district.

Potential Demand to Switch to District Based Elections System Although the City has not yet received a demand letter, other jurisdictions, such as the Arvin Unified School District, and numerous Cities throughout the State of California have. Such demands allege that “…a violation of the California Elections Code section 14025 et. seq., known as the California Voting Rights Act of 2001 (CVRA) may be occurring by polarized voting.” This type of letter is a precursor to the filing of a lawsuit against the City under the CVRA, and it triggers a very short timeline for the City to act and implement districts to avoid substantial attorneys’ fees.

The California Voting Rights Act
The City must comply with both the federal Voting Rights Act and the California Voting Rights Act. Both statues prohibit the City from imposing election systems that result in discrimination against minorities.

The California Voting Rights Act of 2001 (“CVRA”) was enacted to implement the California constitutional guarantees of equal protection and the right to vote. (Elections Code section 14031.) The CVRA is based on the federal Voting Rights Act, but the legal standards are different. The CVRA’s intent is to expand the protections provided under federal law. Its adoption was motivated in part by the lack of success by California plaintiffs in challenging atlarge election systems under the federal Voting Rights Act. Thus, the CVRA purposefully adopted a lower legal standard to make it easier to establish a voting rights claim.

Attachment: Staff Report re Change to District Based Elections_022724 (Change to District Based Elections)

Staff Report – Intention to Initiate Procedures for Establishing and Implementing District Based Elections.

Racially Polarized Voting
The CVRA requires a plaintiff to prove “racially polarized voting,” which means “…voting in which there is a difference, as defined in case law regarding enforcement of the federal Voting Rights Act… in the choices of candidates or other electoral choices that are preferred by voters in a protected class as compared to the rest of the electorate.” (Elections Code section 14026(e).) It must be shown that “a significant number of minority group members usually vote for the same candidates” (minority cohesion); and that “the white majority votes sufficiently as a bloc to enable it to usually defeat the minority’s preferred candidate.”(Thornburg v. Gingles (1986) 478 U.S. 30.)
What this means, for example, is if a White majority outvotes the Hispanic choice of candidates most of the time, even if the Hispanic voters tend to congregate around the same candidate, there is racially polarized voting. Note that the Hispanic candidate need not be a minority candidate.

Vote Dilution
The CVRA prohibits an at-large election system if it dilutes the rights of voters who are members of a protected class. “An at-large method of election may not be imposed or applied in a manner that impairs the ability of a protected class to elect candidates of its choice or its ability to influence the outcome of an election, as a result of the dilution or the abridgement of the rights of voters who are members of a protected class….” (Elections Code section 14027.) A protected class for purposes of the CVRA is a class of voters who are members of a race, color, or language minority group. (Elections Code section 14026(d).) Creating districts may facilitate a minority group’s ability to elect its preferred representatives.

The question of vote dilution is whether a minority group would have more influence in elections under an alternate election system than they do under the current system.

Litigation Costs
Staff’s recommendation to approve the resolution is not based on an admission by the City that, if challenged, a court would find its election system violates the CVRA However, the public interest may be better served by voluntarily transitioning to district-based elections for a number of reasons, including the uncertainty of the litigation and the extraordinary costs of such a lawsuit even if the City were to prevail.

The probability of success defending a CVRA claim on the merits is uncertain without guidance from the California Supreme Court. This is due to the absence of clear objective standards on how a plaintiff is supposed to prove a case and how a city is to defend it. There is very little precedent regarding the CVRA’s application, including the elements of a violation and how they are applied to cities.

If the City Council chooses to maintain at-large elections and defend a threatened lawsuit, should one come, attorneys’ fees and costs would likely exceed several million dollars. The cost of defending the City’s at-large election system in court is projected to be significant due to the potential of having to pay the plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees and costs in addition to the City’s defense costs. Almost all cities that have received a legal challenge have settled out of court by agreeing to voluntarily change to district-based elections. Those that have opposed the CVRA challenges in court have ultimately either voluntarily adopted, or have been forced to adopt, district-based elections. Cities that have litigated the CVRA have resulted in large attorneys’ fees

Districting Procedure
Staff and a demographer that will be hired by the City will give a presentation on the required procedure and rules for transitioning to a district-based election system. There are a number of factors to consider in the mapping process to ensure that the districts are reasonable and constitutional.

The City has 90 days after the adoption of the resolution of intention to adopt an ordinance that will implement the change with the next election. (Elections Code section 10010(e)(3)(A)-(B).) Will Councilmembers lose their seats during their term? Councilmembers will not lose their seats during their term. Pursuant to Elections Code section 21626, the term of any councilmember who has been elected and whose term of office has not expired shall not be affected by any change in the boundaries of the district from which they were elected. The City Council is comprised of the Mayor and four council members. Both Councilmembers and the Mayor are elected at each General Municipal Election and hold office for four-year terms. The current terms expire as follows:

Mayor Olivia Trujillo, November 2024
Mayor Pro Tem Daniel Borreli, November 2024
Councilmember Donny Horton, November 2026
Councilmember Susana Reyes, November 2026
Councilmember Juan Murillo, November 2026
A potential sequence for establishing districts will be developed through the public hearing process. All city council members serve at-large and can live anywhere in the city until the end of their terms in 2024 and 2026.

An election year will be assigned to each of the districts. For example, two districts could be assigned to the November 2024 election, and two other districts could be assigned to the 2026 election. Then, in 2024 and 2026, incumbents would have to run for re-election by-district, if they reside in one of the districts up for election that year or finish their terms and leave the Council.

The Mayor’s seat will continue to be at-large unless a different system is proposed by the City Council.

Compliance with the Government Code
The legislature has authorized the change from at-large elections to district elections without taking the matter to the voters. Government Code section 34886 provides:

Notwithstanding Section 34871 or any other law, the legislative body of a city may adopt an ordinance that requires the members of the legislative body to be elected by district or by district with an elective mayor, as described in subdivision (a) and (c) of Section 34871, without being required to submit the ordinance to the voters for approval. An ordinance adopted pursuant to his section shall include a declaration that the change in the method of electing members of

Staff Report – Intention to Initiate Procedures for Establishing and Implementing District Based Elections. the legislative body is being made in the furtherance of the purposes of the California Voting Rights Act of 2001.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

Significant staff time will be needed to transition to district based elections, including multiple public hearings to determine district boundaries and to draft a proposed ordinance establishing districts. Demographer costs for drafting multiple maps, assisting with public outreach, and analyzing public input is estimated to be $29,900. These expenses are not included in the FY 2023 budget.

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council consider adoption of a resolution of intention to transition from at-large to district-based elections for City Councilmembers. The proposed resolution does not direct a change in the structure of the City Council; rather it would start the process to implement four districts in the City for Councilmember seats, with the Mayor’s seat continuing to be elected atlarge.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The City of Arvin determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)(CCR, Title 14, Chapter 3 (“CEQA Guidelines”), Article 20, Section 15378). In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or any reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.
