ITEM# 2D
TO: Corcoran City Council
FROM: Gary Cramer, Deputy Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Military Equipment Annual Report
RECOMMENDATION:

This report is for informational purposes only.

DISCUSSION:

California Assembly Bill 481, which was signed into law in 2021, requires local law enforcement agencies to obtain approval from their local governing body of a military equipment use policy by ordinance. Assembly Bill 481 provides a list of equipment that is deemed to be military equipment and specifies the equipment does not have to be obtained from the military to meet the definition of military equipment. Last year the Corcoran City Council approved a Military Equipment Ordinance.

Assembly Bill 481 also requires an annual report to the governing body related to the use of military equipment for the previous year. Attached to this report is a list of the various uses of this equipment during calendar year 2022.

In addition to the report on the usage of the equipment we are required to report any costs associated with this equipment. The costs related to this equipment for calendar year 2022 were as follows:

I. We send 2 of our personnel to a Diversionary Device Instructor course. The total cost of this training was S1,523.44, which includes tuition, hotel and per diem. This was paid out of our department budget (Training and Travel Account).

2. During calendar year 2022 the Corcoran Police Department purchased an Autel Robotics Lite+ drone at a cost of S1,893.29. This cost was paid out of our department budget (Special Department Account).

3. We hosted a Part 107 drone training at the Corcoran Police Department, wherein we trained 4 of our personnel in the use of the drone technology. The cost of the training was $1,000.

This cost was paid out of our department budget (Training and Travel Account).

4. We had one officer take the FAA Part 107 License Test at a cost of S175, which was paid out of our department budget (Training and Travel Account).

STAFF REPORT
ITEM # 5-A
TO: Corcoran City Council
FROM: Joseph Beery, Deputy City Attorney
DATE: May 19, 2023 MEETING DATE: May 23, 2023
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 646 Consider Approval of Business Regulations Regarding Retail Cannabis
Summary:

At the May 9, 2023, city council meeting, council made a motion to waive the first reading of Ordinance No. 646 and set the second reading at the May 23, 2023, meeting. Ordinance No. 646 is a comprehensive business regulation ordinance that pertains to the sale of retail cannabis inside the City's boundaries.

Recommendation:

If the Council approves the second reading of Ordinance No. 646, this Ordinance will add Chapter 11 to Title 3 of the Corcoran Municipal Code.

Budget impact:

Immediate impact: None.

Future impact: When the Zoning Code is updated to allow for retail cannabis in specified zones and if a voter-approved cannabis tax is enacted in the future, retail cannabis storefronts could generate tax revenue for the general fund, which could be used to offset the cost of secondary impacts of cannabis use which was decriminalized statewide under Proposition 64.

Background:

Cannabis, under California law, is now decriminalized, allowing it to be sold for recreational purposes subject to certain State and local restrictions. There has been local interest in allowing retail cannabis locations within the City of Corcoran, and the draft ordinance sets forth regulations regarding issuance of permits to operate a retail cannabis storefront within the parameters set by the City Council.
