CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
April 5, 2022 10d
FIRST READING AND INTRODUCTION OF “AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CORONADO, CALIFORNIA, ADDING SECTION 3.68.030 TO THE CORONADO
MUNICIPAL CODE, APPROVING A MILITARY EQUIPMENT USE POLICY FOR POLICE SERVICES” AND ADOPTION OF “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CORONADO, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CORONADO POLICE POLICY 706” RECOMMENDATION:
Conduct the first reading and introduce “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Coronado, California, Adding Section 3.68.030 to the Coronado Municipal Code, Approving a Military Equipment Use Policy for Police Services” and adopt “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Coronado, California, Approving Coronado Police Policy 706 as Military Use Policy for Police Services.”
BACKGROUND:
Effective January 1, 2022, Assembly Bill 481 (codified in Government Code §§7070, et seq.) requires legislative bodies to adopt ordinances approving military equipment use policies before law enforcement agencies can continue to engage in specified activities related to the use of what the state legislature has now defined as “military equipment” in Government Code §7070. The Coronado Police Department has several pieces qualifying as “military equipment” in inventory as detailed in the attached new proposed Coronado Police Department Policy 706 (see section 706.4). The Department engages in critical public safety activities in coordination with other local jurisdictions, which will be prohibited within 180 days unless an ordinance meeting the requirements of Government Code §7071 is adopted.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed ordinance (Attachment 1) would approve a Military Equipment Use Policy that is consistent with the Department’s current policy and meets the relevant requirements of AB 481 (Exhibit A of Attachment 2). As required by Government Code §7071(b), the proposed policy was posted on February 28, 2022 on the Department’s website at the following LINK.
If adopted, the Police Department would be responsible for ensuring that all provisions of Government Code §§7071 and 7072 are met. The Council would be required by law to review the ordinance and policy at least annually and have the opportunity to renew it or make any necessary changes by resolution.
The proposed policy approves the continued use of equipment currently in the Police Department’s inventory by authorized and trained personnel when the use is necessary to maintain safety. The policy proposes the acquisition of ten (10) Colt Model # LE6933, 223 caliber Patrol Rifles, to replace the following Patrol Rifles currently in the Department's inventory: Daniel Defense, Stag Arms, Smith and Wesson, DPMS, and Mega 223 caliber Patrol Rifles. Acquisition of the Patrol Rifles is within the Department’s budget.
The proposed policy would also allow the continued collaboration with other law enforcement agencies in the deployment or other use of military equipment within the City. The Police City of Coronado Page 163
Department works closely with other local, county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies within San Diego County on police-related matters, including safeguarding the public’s welfare and safety, working on regional task forces, conducting training exercises, providing mutual aid, and responding to emergencies. In exigent circumstances, there is sometimes the need to deploy military equipment from or lend military equipment to outside entities to promote the safety and security of community members.
Government Code §7071(d)(1) sets forth the findings that Council must make in order to adopt the proposed policy and ordinance. Staff believes that Council can make the required findings because:
1. Authorizing the use of military equipment is necessary because there is no reasonable alternative that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety. The acquisition and use of this equipment are part of the Coronado Police Department’s overall approach to Critical Incident Management, Use of Force, De-escalation, and public safety. The equipment will enable department members to properly respond to both planned and unplanned events efficiently and effectively.
2. The proposed Military Equipment Use Policy will safeguard the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties by ensuring required reporting out, the opportunity for community engagement and feedback, and transparency and oversight regarding the acquisition and use of the specified military equipment in the City of Coronado.
3. For the proposed equipment purchases, the equipment is reasonably cost-effective compared to available alternatives that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety. While Daniel Defense, Stag Arms, Smith and Wesson, DPMS, and Mega 223 caliber Patrol Rifles currently in the Police Department's inventory have been used previously, they have not been proven to achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety as the Colt Model # LE6933, 223 caliber Patrol Rifles. In addition, placing the same model of Patrol Rifle in use assures uniform training, increases efficiency, and contributes to overall safety. Other models of Patrol Rifles are in the same price range.
4. Prior military equipment use complied with the military equipment use policy that was in effect at the time of the use.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There would not be any new, unplanned direct fiscal impacts to continuing the use of equipment already in the Policy Department’s inventory or continuing to collaborate with other law enforcement agencies, including under mutual aid agreements. Maintenance costs of existing equipment are within the Department’s budget and are as follows: a. Mobile Command Vehicle - approximately $3,000 annually. b. Field Supervisor Vehicle - approximately $3,000 annually. c. 40 MM Launchers and Rounds - approximately $50 annually for each launcher (total of 12). d.
Patrol Rifles - approximately $50 annually for each rifle (total of 40). The coordination of assistance and resources from other jurisdictions does not create new direct fiscal impacts. The county jurisdictions already support each other through mutual aid during emergencies and or standard public safety work. The proposed acquisition of ten (10) Colt Model # LE6933, 223 caliber Patrol Rifles will cost $1,000 each, with annual maintenance costs of approximately $50 each. These costs are within the Department’s budget. There will be staff time associated with compliance, annual review, reporting, and community engagement meetings, all of which are required pursuant to applicable provisions of the Government Code.
City of Coronado Page 164
ALTERNATIVE:
The City Council could make changes to the Military Equipment Use Policy and/or ordinance or choose not to go forward with introducing the ordinance.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:
Pursuant to California Public Resources Code § 21065 and the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines § 15378, there is no possibility that this ordinance will have a significant impact on the physical environment and is not a project as defined under CEQA.
PUBLIC NOTICE:
The proposed Military Equipment Use Policy was made public via the Police Department’s website at least 30 days prior to the April 5, 2022 Council Meeting. In lieu of the full text of the ordinance being published within 15 days after passage, the City Clerk shall publish and post the summary of the proposed ordinance at least five days prior to the meeting at which the ordinance is to be adopted and within 15 days after adoption.

to 10" at a wide variety of velocities out to 200 yards. In addition, these new loads boast outstanding feeding in short, very short and standard length AR platforms. Like their handgun counterparts, the Gold Dot rifle bullets are constructed using Gold Dot technology. The process of joining the jacket and core one molecule at a time eliminates the potential for the leading cause of bullet failure—jacket/core separation. It also ensures impressive weight retention through barriers as tough as auto-glass. In addition to being tough, Gold Dot rifle loads boast outstanding accuracy. Exact tolerances and unprecedented bullet uniformity of jacket thickness give Gold Dot rifle loads outstanding accuracy. In addition, these loads feature flash suppressed propellants and a muzzle velocity of up to 3000 fps. The versatility, reliability and superior construction of the new Speer LE Gold Dot Duty Rifle loads allow law enforcement agencies to utilize this tested and proven bullet technology in duty rifles with complete confidence.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
April 5, 2022 10e
RECEIVE REPORT REGARDING CORONADO MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 1.80.030 WITH
RESPECT TO TERM LIMITS FOR CITY COUNCILMEMBERS AND THE MAYOR AND
PROVIDE DIRECTION, AS MAY BE NEEDED, WHETHER TO PREPARE A POTENTIAL
BALLOT PROPOSITION WITH RESPECT TO TERM LIMITS
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive a report regarding Coronado Municipal Code (CMC) section 1.80.030 and provide direction to staff regarding whether to prepare a ballot proposition to modify Section 1.80.030 with respect to term limits for city councilmembers and the mayor.
BACKGROUND:
On November 5, 2002, Coronado voters approved Proposition F. (The ballot results are Attachment 4.) Proposition F is codified in CMC section 1.80.030 and reads in relevant part:
A. The purpose of this section is to encourage qualified candidates to seek public office and limit the powers of incumbency by placing limits on the number of consecutive terms, which members of the City Council and Mayor may serve.
B. No person shall be elected as a member of the City Council for more than two full consecutive terms.
C. No person shall be elected to serve as Mayor for more than two full consecutive terms.
Council approved a Policy #2 request on February 1, 2022 for an agenda item to review CMC section 1.80 and give Council the option to place a proposition on the ballot that limits the total number of terms one is eligible to serve to two full terms as a councilmember and two full terms as mayor.
ANALYSIS:
The meaning of CMC section 1.80.030 is a matter of statutory construction, and is reviewed independently. Rules of statutory construction require us to look at the words of the statute and give those words their usual and ordinary meaning in light of their stated purpose.1 Unless there is ambiguity in the language, it is presumed that the plain meaning of the statute governs.2 “’Only when the statute's language is ambiguous or susceptible of more than one reasonable interpretation, may [we] turn to extrinsic aids to assist in interpretation.’”3 “If possible, significance should be given to every word, phrase, sentence and part of an act in pursuance of the legislative purpose…. [A] construction making some words surplusage is to be avoided.”4 1 “In doing so, we look first to the words of a statute, ‘because they generally provide the most reliable indicator of legislative intent.” Pineda v. Williams-Sonoma Stores, Inc. (2011) 51 Cal.4th 524, 529-30 (citation omitted).

3 Ibid. (citation omitted).
4 Woosley v. State of California (1992) 3 Cal.4th 758, 775-76 (citations and internal quotations omitted).
City of Coronado Page 182
Section 1.80.030 uses the adjective “consecutive” three times before “terms”: once in the purpose (subsection A) and once each in subsections B and C. According to Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary, “consecutive” means “following one after the other in order: successive” and the example given is “served four consecutive terms in office.” This should be contrasted with nonconsecutive terms. Section 1.80.030 uses the word “full” twice as an adjective (“two full consecutive terms”). “Full” means “complete especially in detail, number, or duration.” This should be contrasted with partial terms.
To give significance to every word, the plain meaning of subsection B is that councilmembers may be elected for a maximum of two full consecutive terms, plus any partial terms, and may be elected again subsequently for terms non-consecutive to the prior two full consecutive terms. The same would apply for subsection C. In contrast, interpreting Section 1.80.030 as a lifetime ban on serving more than two terms would require a construction that makes the word “consecutive” surplusage, and that is prohibited. Therefore, as a matter of statutory interpretation, Section
1.80.030 is unambiguous that more than two non-consecutive terms are permitted.
This interpretation is also supported by extrinsic evidence, for example, in the ballot materials. (See Attachment 2). The impartial analysis of Proposition F in the voter pamphlet stated: “If an elected official serves the maximum number of consecutive terms, he or she would not be allowed to seek re-election for a third consecutive term. However, that elected official may seek election to a new term at any subsequent election, subject only to the limitations imposed by section
1.80.030.” Similarly, the argument in favor of Proposition F in the voter pamphlet stated:
“Proposition F allows persons elected either to City Council or as Mayor to serve 2 four-year terms consecutively. There is no lifetime ban. …This means that an individual elected to City Council or Mayor could serve in that office for as many as eight years. Someone could even be on the City Council for eight years and then serve as Mayor for an additional eight years.” The only reasonable interpretation of Section 1.80.030 based on its language and the intent of its framers is that it does not contain lifetime term limits.
Questions have been raised about whether Proposition F could be interpreted to allow someone to serve two consecutive terms as a councilmember, then two consecutive terms as mayor, followed by two consecutive terms as councilmember, and then serve again as mayor, repeating the process indefinitely. However, as a matter of statutory construction, possible interpretations “of a statute may be disregarded to avoid absurd results or to give effect to manifest purposes that, in the light of the statute's legislative history, appear from its provisions considered as a whole.”5 Here, one of the manifest purposes is stated in subsection A as being to “limit the powers of incumbency.” An interpretation that would allow continuous, uninterrupted service on the council or otherwise effectively circumventing the spirit of the Proposition can be disregarded.
However, should the Council find that Section 1.80.030 is ambiguous and desire to resolve any ambiguity or revise Section 1.80.030 in any way, a proposition must be placed before the voters. 5 Silver v. Brown, 63 Cal.2d 841, 845 (Cal. 1966) (citation omitted).

FISCAL IMPACT:
Placing an initiative on the ballot would require staff time and election related costs. The Registrar of Voters has provided a cost projection based on two City Councilmember seats of $20,000- $40,000. Adding a ballot measure on term limits is expected to add an additional $15,000- $35,000.
ALTERNATIVE:
Council could receive the report and direct staff not to prepare a ballot initiative or provide direction regarding an alternative ballot initiative.

aware of this and of the availability of potential funds for that. It is up to 90% eligible funding forthat which necessitates local matching funds of 10%.
Mayor Smisek commented that the estimate is $150,000 and the City's share would be $15,000.
Frank Tiemey, 550 J Avenue, is supportive of having the Opticon system put in place for emergency vehicles. A way has been found to fund it with very little money required from the City.Caltrans has already pulled the wires for this system along the Strand. The only area the City has responsibility for is the light at First and Orange, which is a minimal cost. He recommends that the City, in light of the low cost that would be involved and the consideration of accidents involving the new paramedics vehicles, move this project to a much higher level to reduce the risk of anyaccidents involving City vehicles. One out of six patients from Coronado is transported off the island. It is very important that this item be put in as quickly as possible because this vehicle is used to go places that already have the Opticon system in place.
MSUC (Schmidt/Marks) moved that the City Council approve submittal of an HES grant application to Caltrans to fund a proposed traffic signal emergency vehicle pre-emption system

llg. Consideration of Placing a Measure on the November Ballot Regarding Term Limits for City Council Members and Mayor. Councilmember Monroe placed this on theagenda at the request of John Ovrom. He is not supportive of the measure, but is very supportive of public interaction, public comments and discussion.
John Ovrom, 750 Balboa, would like Council to consider placing a measure on the ballot that wouldput tenn limits on the City Council and the Mayor's position. It would involve serving two terms for City Council, then a term off and the same for Mayor. A person could serve two tenns on City Council and then two terms as Mayor to serve for 16 straight years. The idea is to try to get a littleturnover and some space and some opportunity for the incumbents to step off and allow new peopleto come in. This has to go in front of the voters. It is something that he is not looking for Council's endorsement or agreement on. He is looking for Council to suggest that this is something that can go out on the ballot to see if the Coronado's citizens want this or not.
Councilmember Monroe does not support Council putting this on the ballot. His motion would be that if this gets on the ballot it would be done through the ballot process. There was an editorial in the newspaper today about Proposition 45. It said that term limits aren't a good idea, but this isn't the right solution. Council has heard from the City's lobbyist in Sacramento that things are really unpredictable there because of term limits. If there are enough people to sign a petition in Coronado, then that is the process the City will go through. There are only about three or four council members in the history of Coronado who have served more than two tenns. Clearly there is a turnover of council members. He paid tribute to Councilmember Schmidt by saying that she ran against 8 candidates and received more votes than any other candidate. If the City had tenn limits, people of Coronado would have been cheated out of having whom they wanted to serve on 72 Attachment 1
City of Coronado Page 185

City Council of the City ofCoronado of February 19, 2002
Council. Having sat on Council for the last year, Mr. Monroe has found her history of events nothing but helpful to him as a new council member. He sees a great advantage in her service to the City, her willingness to serve. He does not support Council just going out and putting it on the ballot without the petition being signed.
Councilmember Wilson commented that the reasoning behind the majority of the cities that haveput term limits on was the interest of diversity. It would be useful, if Mr. Ovrom feels it is important to get this on the ballot, that he go out and talk to the public about it. That would certainly be furthered by this petition process. She doesn't see a need for it. The people have a chance every four years to put term limits on by not reelecting someone.
Councilmember Schmidt doesn't know how to respond-to this request. There have only been three or four people who have served for more than two tenns. Ms. Schmidt is currently serving herfourth tenn. If there was any time in the last four times she ran for Council, the people should havevoted her out then. She can honestly say that, as time has gone on, her approval rating has risen among the people in the community.
Mayor Siiusek discussed the incumbency issue that was brought up in the information provided by Mr. Ovrom. In a large City or in the State, that might be an issue. Mayor Smisek examined thehistory of incumbents winning or losing elections since 1988 when the position of mayor became afour-year term. In 1988 both incumbents lost. In 1990 there was one incumbent council member who lost and one incumbent council member who won. In 1992 both the incumbent councilmember and mayor won and there was an open seat. In 1994 the incumbent lost and there was anopen seat. In 1996 the incumbent mayor lost and the incumbent council member won and there wasan open seat. In 1998 both incumbent council members lost. In 2000 both incumbent mayor and council meinber won and there was an open seat. The incumbents won six times, lost seven times,the open seats won five. That is kind of interesting if that is the philosophy behind why the City wants term limits. He agrees that the idea would have a lot more force behind it if it did get the signatures. Council has not normally put something on the ballot unless Council supported it or it came in through the signature process.
There was no motion to put this on the ballot.

CONSIDERATION OF MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING AND EXPENDITURE OF CITY
FUNDS FOR ENFORCEMENT OF THE ANCHORING AND MOORING REGULATIONS AT
ZUNIGA JETTY SHOALS, AND AUTHORIZING CITY OF CORONADO SUPPORT FOR A
CALIFORNIA BUDGET REQUEST TO FUND ONGOING ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS AND
STUDY OF PERMANENT SOLUTIONS
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager to execute, in a form approved by the City Attorney, a Memorandum of Understanding with the City of San Diego, San Diego Unified Port District and the California State Lands Commission regarding enforcement of the City of San Diego Ordinance regulating anchoring and mooring in Zuniga Jetty Shoals, and approve the expenditure of $50,000 from the City’s General Fund for this purpose; and authorize City of Coronado support for ongoing State funding for the City of San Diego and Port of San Diego, in partnership with the U.S. Navy, for enforcement and study of permanent solutions.
BACKGROUND:
Zuniga Jetty Shoal is a shallow stretch of water near the entrance of San Diego Bay, within the jurisdiction of the California State Lands Commission in the San Diego city limits and located near Naval Air Station North Island. The hazardous conditions in the area, especially during storms, causes vessels to escape anchor lines and sink or become beached. The City of Coronado experiences vessels originating from Zuniga Jetty breaking free from the anchorage, drifting toward and coming aground on the City’s beach. The City abates these vessels, which pose substantial public safety hazards to the public, with the assistance of State funding through its Surrendered and Abandoned Vessels Exchange (SAVE) Program. Vessels also frequently wash ashore onto U.S. Navy property—more than 90 over the past decade—creating public safety and operational problems for the base. The U.S. Navy recently abated 14 abandoned vessels on its beach.
In April 2019, the City of San Diego adopted an Ordinance to prohibit unoccupied mooring or anchoring at Zuniga Jelly Shoals for more than two hours. The two-hour maximum sought to address derelict vessels without limiting recreational activities such as fishing. The City of San Diego partnered in a temporary pilot program with the San Diego Unified Port District (Port) to enforce the regulations. The Port oversees the Harbor Police, which frequents the Zuniga Jetty area and enforces rules throughout San Diego Bay.
In 2021, discussions arose between the City of San Diego, the Port and City of Coronado about a partnership to cooperatively enforce the City of San Diego’s Ordinance for the benefit of all jurisdictions. Consideration of a such partnership, with Coronado funding, was discussed by the City Council at its September 21, 2021 meeting. The Council directed staff to gather more information about long-term solutions to the issue.
ANALYSIS:
After that September 2021 Council meeting, discussions continued between the two cities and the Port to refine a cooperative enforcement agreement. The agreement, effectuated with a oneCity of Coronado Page 191 year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), would leverage Port enforcement resources for patrols, towing, impoundment and disposal of derelict and abandoned vessels, with funding from the two cities. The City of San Diego would contribute $75,000 and the City of Coronado would contribute $50,000 and serve as a funding partner only.
Concurrently, the U.S. Navy actively engaged with the City of San Diego, Port and State of California about long-term solutions for enforcement funding and management of the Zuniga Jetty. San Diego and the Port District are requesting State funding of $1.35 million over five years for enforcement efforts and to study viable permanent solutions to abandoned and derelict vessels at Zuniga.
The request of the City Council is to authorize the City Manager to enter into a one-year MOU, with a funding contribution only of $50,000, and to tender the City of Coronado’s support of the City of San Diego and Port’s State budget request.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If authorized to execute the one-year Memorandum of Understanding, the City of Coronado would contribute $50,000 from its General Fund to address derelict vessels at Zuniga Jetty.
ALTERNATIVE:
The City Council may decide not to enter into the MOU for cooperative enforcement and may elect to not support the State funding request.

Members of the City Council, Ms. Friend, and Ms. Canlas: Pursuant to City Council Policy #2, I am requesting an agenda item to review current policies and Coronado Municipal Code sections pertaining to parking in the downtown business district.
The Orange Avenue Specific Plan regulates the number of parking spaces required within the commercial zone. However, city policies and other sections of the municipal code regulate how existing parking can be utilized to meet the parking requirement.
Although several large parking lots and structures contain many parking spaces above what the city code requires, these excess spaces are underutilized and often sit empty, even during summer weekends. According to owners of the parking lots and structures, the city’s existing policies and parking regulations artificially constrain the supply of parking spaces available to customers in the downtown district as well as the general public.
An example of such regulation includes CMC section 86.58.180 which imposes a substantial legal burden on owners of excess parking spaces from entering into a parking agreement with interested parties. Another example is 86.58.180 subsection D that arbitrarily limits which businesses can access and/or benefit from the excess parking spaces. The combination of these two codes contribute to many private parking spaces sitting empty.
The purpose of this request is to review and consider changes to existing parking policies and regulations, such as those mentioned above, that would allow excess and underutilized parking spaces to be used more efficiently and reduce parking congestion overall.
Changes could potentially increase parking capacity throughout the business district for the general community and allow greater flexibility for local businesses while still meeting the city’s existing parking requirements within the OASP.
Sincerely,
Richard P. Bailey
Mayor, City of Coronado
