1. GRANT AGREEMENT – Proposition 64 Public Health and Safety Grant Program This Grant Agreement is between the State of California, Board of State and Community Corrections (hereafter referred to as BSCC) and the City of Fresno, City Attorney’s Office (hereafter referred to as the Grantee or Contractor).
2. PROJECT SUMMARY AND ADMINISTRATION
A. The City of Fresno Code Enforcement Division seeks funding in the amount of $1.4M to address the eradication of illegal cannabis of illegal cultivation and illegal retail sales. The environmental impact of residential and commercial illegal cultivation sites is detrimental to the health and safety of any occupants of the structures involved. Illegal cultivation site workers will carelessly dump hazardous chemicals, affecting the water table adversely, not to mention the mold damage left behind where the grows actually took place. Illegal retail sales of cannabis have been a problem at the 150+ local smoke shops. Utilizing CDTFA and other agencies, we have assisted with processing illegal cannabis seizures. Code then issues formal notices for zoning and building violations then citing for non -compliance. To date, our CAPP team program has effectively removed over $71M of cannabis in street value from illegal cultivators and tens of thousands of illegal sales from smoke shops.
B. Grantee agrees to administer the project in accordance with Attachment 1: Proposition 64 PH&S Grant Request for Proposals (incorporated by reference) and Attachment 2: Proposition 64 PH&S Grant Program Cohort 4 Application for Funding , which are attached and hereto and made part of this agreement.

Illegal Cannabis Eradication-Environmental Impact
Project Summary
The City of Fresno Code Enforcement Division seeks funding in the amount of $1.4M to address the eradication of illegal cannabis of illegal cultivation and illegal retail sales. The environmental impact of residential and commercial illegal cultivation sites is detrimental to the health and safety of any occupants of the structures involved. Illegal cultivation site workers will carelessly dump hazardous chemicals, affecting the water table adversely, not to mention the mold damage left behind where the grows actually took place. Illegal retail sales of cannabis have been a problem at the 150+ local smoke shops. Utilizing CDTFA and other agencies, we have assisted with processing illegal cannabis seizures. Code then issues formal notices for zoning and building violations then citing for non-compliance. To date, our CAPP team program has effectively removed over $71M of cannabis in street value from illegal cultivators and tens of thousands of illegal sales from smoke shops.

PART II -
PROPOSAL
ABSTRACT
The Proposal Abstract should provide a brief summary of the proposed project. This section will not be included in the rating of the proposal.
PROPOSAL
ABSTRACT
The proposed project will address the environmental impacts involving illegal cannabis cultivation and illegal cannabis retail sales in the City of Fresno. The City of Fresno Code Enforcement Division seeks funding in the amount of $1.4M with the intent to address the eradication of illegal cannabis in respect to illegal cultivation and illegal retail sales. The CAPP team was created with the purpose to reduce and eliminate illegal cannabis activity in the City and mitigate the environmental, social and economic impacts of these illegal activities. The CAPP team has effectively removed over $71M of cannabis in street value from illegal cultivators. The exact amount of street value of seized cannabis at smoke shops is not immediately available but can safely be estimated to be in the tens of thousands in value. The amount is still only a drop in the virtual bucket of the illegal cannabis industry but, every little bit makes a difference. The cultivation locations were located via 3rd party tips, field observations, utility usage and analysis. The environmental impact of residential and commercial illegal cultivation sites can linger for years as many illegal grow operations will use banned pesticides and fertilizers. Illegal cultivation site workers will haphazardly dump hazardous chemicals into yards, vacant lots, storm drains, etc., affecting the water table detrimentally. Chemicals will leach harmful compounds into the soil over time. In addition, there is the mold damage left behind in the structures where the grows actually took place. This can leave an unsuspecting homebuyer with a hazardous environment, as lingering pesticide residues and mold spores from illegal cultivation operations can compromise indoor air quality and pose long
term respiratory risks. Our team advises the Building and Safety department to ensure mold remediation takes place as part of the compliance process. In addition to illegal cultivation, illegal retail sales of cannabis has been a problem at the 150+ local smoke shops. Utilizing CDTFA and other agencies, we have assisted with processing illegal cannabis seizures. Code then issues formal notices for zoning and building violations then citing for non-compliance. All smoke shops will be inspected annually at a minimum, to ensure compliance is maintained.

NARRATIVE
This section requires responses
Proposal Narrative
Instructions
The Proposal Narrative includes four sections: Project Need, Project Description, Project Organizational Capacity and Coordination, and Project Evaluation. The character limits and page equivalents for each narrative section are outlined below and must be followed when preparing proposal materials. The Project Need narrative may not exceed 8,400 total characters.
The Project Description narrative may not exceed 14,000 total characters.
The Project Organizational Capacity and Coordination
narrative may not exceed 5,600 total characters.
The Project Evaluation
narrative may not exceed 5,600 total characters.
Proposal Need
As the fifth largest city in the State of California, the City of Fresno has been experiencing an illegal cannabis problem. Whether it be an illegal residential cultivation site, an illegal commercial cultivation site or a smoke shop illegally selling cannabis to the general public, there is a definite need.
We have a team dedicated to the illegal cannabis trade and have been markedly successful in bringing compliance to the properties involved. The legal cannabis industry in the City of Fresno has been directly affected by these bad actors that are bypassing the requirements and permits needed to operate a legal dispensary or a legal cultivation site. The damage these opportunists inflict upon the public and the environment can be substantial.
The City of Fresno requests funding to ensure the properties affected are properly remediated and/or abated to ensure the public safety. Reducing the general public to the exposure of illegally dumped chemical waste is tantamount to the success of this program. The water table is directly affected when this occurs as is any exposed wildlife or pedestrians unaware. Where chemical waste dumping has been identified, the City of Fresno is prepared to work with available agencies to ensure environmental site improvement is properly and completely addressed. At the same time, the City of Fresno wants to be able to be proactive to ensure these hazardous situations are addressed before they occur. The City of Fresno looks to educate members of the public of the dangers of dumping chemical waste and the risks involved, should the opportunity present itself during a cultivation or smoke shop operation. In addition, when cannabis plants are abated at a grow site, the assisting enforcement agency will usually have a trailer to transport the plants to a facility for destruction. For integrity purposes, Code will follow the chain of custody and videotape the destruction. There are times when a trailer is not available, so the enforcement agency is limited to "chop and drop" the plants and leave them on site. If the plants are budded, we could potentially be performing an early harvest for the violators, as we would leave the plants behind. In this regard, we are requesting a trailer to assist in the abatement of the contraband and ease the burden of the enforcement agency unable to obtain a trailer for the cultivation operation.
Of the 150 smoke shop cases the CAPP team has processed in the City of Fresno, more than 50% of the tobacco retailers were illegally selling cannabis to the general public. In addition, zoning, land use and building violations are present in 95% of the locations inspected. Funding is requested to continue identifying those proprietors that wish to endanger our youth and the general public as well as the environment, by selling unregulated and unpermitted contraband, which includes cannabis, flavored tobacco and drug paraphernalia.
Funding would enable a team of three Senior Code Inspectors and one Supervisor to inspect, track, cite and enforce compliance in regard to health and safety issues, environmental hazards and land use violations. In addition to the trailer referenced above, this funding proposal requests three 3D cameras to support inspections, as well as additional hand tools, equipment, and supplies needed to carry out the abatement. Appropriate PPE is also included to ensure safe and compliant operations.
The City of Fresno current budget allows for limited personnel to be assigned to this team. The requested funding will allow the team to be fully staffed to serve the 553,800 residents of the City. Due to an increase in illegal cannabis cultivation and unauthorized retail sales occurring at various smoke shops, the City has experienced a rise in vagrancy and criminal activity. These conditions contribute to land misuse and environmental contamination, creating significant negative impacts on public health, safety, and the surrounding community. The end result of our team’s function will assist to reduce crime, increase property values and maintain the integrity of the environment.
Due to our efforts of eradicating illegal cannabis grows and illegal retail sales, our team has been awarded the 2024 California Association of Code Enforcement Officers (CACEO) Innovative Program of the Year.
Additionally, because members of the City of Fresno Code Enforcement unit have participated in cannabis
related training sessions, our work has
been recognized and commended—without solicitation—by other Code and Law Enforcement agencies throughout California.
Project Description
The City of Fresno CAO Code Enforcement division receives complaints from the general public via an online database, email, phone, walk-in or field referrals. In addition, we receive complaints from outside agencies and other City divisions and departments requesting our services. The Clerical department will refer all cannabis related complaints to the CAPP team. Also, the CAPP team is advised of any Code cases where a Code inspector suspects or locates an illegal grow or identifies illegal retail sales of cannabis. All Code personnel are required to complete the CACEO Inspector Academy to become CCEO certified. Specialty teams may attend additional training specific to their function within the department. The CAPP team has attended CNOA courses pertaining to the illegal cannabis industry in addition to their CCEO certification.
The CAPP team consists of three Senior Code Enforcement Inspectors and one Supervisor who address all smoke shop illegal cannabis issues within the City of Fresno by planned inspection operations, partnering with applicable public agencies for contraband seizures and violation citations.
All CAPP team personnel bring prior law enforcement experience, giving the team a distinct advantage in recognizing how illegal cannabis activity harms the environment and influences the behavior and mindset of the criminal element within the City. The Code inspectors will coordinate a PD standby, as these locations tend to attract criminal activity. In addition, CDTFA is utilized for processing the seizure of flavored tobacco and cannabis on site. PD will address any criminal activity if necessary and stand by to keep the peace. At these inspections, multiple weapons, including ghost guns have been located in addition to wanted felons and in one case, a homicide suspect. Photo documentation is collected and a narrative of the conditions observed is logged on the case upon return to the office. A Notice and Order is created, listing all violations observed with matching photo documentation. A deadline is given for listed corrections and if no progress is made by the next inspection, a citation is issued as per the City of Fresno's Municipal Code requirement. Subsequent citations will increase in costs as additional inspections take place and violations remain unaddressed. The Supervisor will track all activity, approve any mailed documentation and compile data for the Grant's quarterly progress report.
Additionally, the CAPP team would address illegal cultivation sites and ensure abatement and remediation is properly completed. Illegal cultivation sites are provided by 3rd party tips, CAPP team field observations and utility usage analysis. A list of potential sites is compiled and the inspectors observe the sites for indicators, such as an abundance of cameras, questionable plumbing, holes in walls, unmaintained landscaping, melted mini blinds, electrical panel tampering, stacks of construction material, piled up solicitation mailers, additional HVAC units, bundles of bamboo stakes, humming noise and odor. If some of the conditions are confirmed, additional monitoring takes place and the team will flex hours to evening inspections to check on activity at that time. When workers tending an illegal grow begin trimming and tying individual buds, the resulting disturbance often intensifies the plant’s odor, causing it to drift onto neighboring properties. That is when our inspectors can confirm the illegal grow and reach out to the Major Narcs Division in PD, the Sheriff's Office or the Department of Cannabis Control to be a secondary observer for confirmation before a warrant is written to address the illegal cultivation.
PPE is provided to the inspectors prior to the warrant execution. On the day the warrant is executed, law enforcement and Code will conduct and verify a full plant count, complete a comprehensive inspection with photographic documentation, and proceed with the abatement of all plants.
PD or SO will address criminal issues and the Code inspectors will address any Code violations, including zoning, land use and environmental issues.
Code will assist the applicable enforcement agency to load the trailer with the abated plants and follow the chain of custody to destroy the contraband at the waste facility. At times, a trailer is not available for transporting the abated plants. In those situations, the enforcement agency will “chop and drop” the plants after the plant count has been verified. Funding is being requested to secure a dedicated trailer for this purpose. The follow up for proper mold remediation is when Code advises the Building and Safety department to confirm mold is being addressed in addition to any items in violation when they come in for their correction permit. After the building inspector confirms the corrections are complete, the Code inspectors will conduct a final inspection to check all corrections are complete and there are no other outstanding Code violations. The Supervisor will track all activity, approve any mailed documentation and compile data for the Grant's quarterly progress report. Applicable public agencies will be contacted to address environmental cleanups and the property owners will be held responsible for addressing the health and safety issues these activities create.
The expected outcome of this funding will be to complete compliance inspections on all smoke shops within the City as well as locating and eradicating any illegal cultivation sites. During the course of the current program, the City of Fresno has worked over 150 smoke shop cases and brought the majority of locations into compliance. 26 of the 42 cultivation cases worked confirmed an illegal cannabis grow. As a result, over 14,000 plants were destroyed and property owners were cited per plant as per the City of Fresno Municipal Code requires. This operation will effectively benefit the 553,800 residents of the City by removing the potential hazards this activity generates.
Project
Organizational
Capacity and
Coordination
The City of Fresno City Attorney's Office (CAO) Code Enforcement Division is comprised of 125 employees with multiple divisions under the Code Enforcement umbrella that services a population of 553,800 residents (World Population Review 2026). The City of Fresno spans over 115 square miles and is centrally located in the State of California and ranks as the fifth (5th) largest city in the State. The median household income is $70,991 and it is estimated that 20.08% of the population live at the poverty level. Approximately 68% of the population consists of minority groups with Hispanics representing over 50% of the total population. The City of Fresno CAO Code Enforcement Department is split into three divisions of Code Compliance, Rental Housing and Special Teams. Each division consists of supporting Supervisorial, Management, Legal and Clerical support personnel. The CAPP team is dedicated to Smoke Shop inspections and illegal cultivation sites. The team consists of three (3) Senior Community Revitalization Inspectors as well as one (1) Supervisor.
All CAPP team personnel have prior law enforcement experience, providing them with a unique advantage in recognizing and understanding how illegal cannabis operations adversely impact the environment and surrounding community. All Code personnel are required to complete the CACEO Inspector Academy in order to obtain CCEO certification and CAPP team personnel have met that requirement. As part of the Code Compliance division of the CAO, the CAPP Team has worked successfully with the Department of Cannabis Control, The Fresno County Sheriff's Office, The Fresno Police Department, California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, The Madera County Sheriff's Office, California Fish and Game, Fresno County Public Health Department, The Attorney General Department of Justice.
The AG DOJ reached out to the City of Fresno to develop a pilot program that addressed illegal cannabis activity; therein the CAPP Team was formed. Other listed agencies have developed a relationship with the CAPP team inspectors to where they are reaching out to the CAPP team for assistance with addressing illegal cannabis activity. The CAPP team has assisted in addressing indoor commercial and residential grow sites, identifying environmental hazards such as mold, chemical waste and land misuse. In addition, several substandard and unsafe housing conditions were identified, including hazardous electrical hookups that pose significant fire and safety risks, multiple improperly connected HVAC units that release greenhouse gas emissions, and general blight that can attract or reinforce criminal activity within the affected neighborhood. With over 14,000 eradicated plants, BSCC can be assured that our CAPP team is committed to the success of this program.
The CAO Code Enforcement division manages multiple grants. There are three Cal Recycle Tire Grants that have been in operation for over 20 years. In addition, there is a DOJ Illegal Tobacco Grant that has been in operation for over 2 years. All grants have been met with successful outcomes and have been managed efficiently.
Project Evaluation
The City of Fresno has a population of 553,800 residents and currently there are over 150 smoke shops in the City. Of the 150 smoke shop cases processed by the CAPP team in the City of Fresno, more than 50 percent of the tobacco retailers were found to be illegally selling cannabis to the general public. Additionally, zoning, land use, and building violations were identified at 95 percent of the inspected locations. The requested funding is critical to ensure the team can identify and hold accountable those proprietors who endanger youth, the general public, and the environment by selling unregulated and unpermitted contraband, including cannabis, flavored tobacco products, and drug paraphernalia. A total of nine smoke shops have closed their doors since our inspection(s) were conducted. A significant portion of the remaining businesses have shifted their model to selling clothing and accessories, although many continue to offer a limited selection of smoke
related products.
Cannabis was found at 26 grow
site locations, representing just over 60%
of all cultivation cases. The CAPP team’s efforts have significantly reduced both land and air contamination, creating measurable environmental benefits. By shutting down illegal cultivation sites, the team prevents the continued release of hazardous pesticides, fertilizers, and chemical runoff into soil and groundwater. At the same time, eliminating high humidity grow
environments and improperly ventilated operations reduces mold, airborne contaminants, and strong plant odors that would otherwise affect surrounding neighborhoods. Collectively, these actions contribute to cleaner air, healthier soil, and a safer environment for the community. To ensure these gains are sustained, the smoke shops and grow locations inspected will be periodically monitored, helping prevent the recurrence of any health or safety risks and reinforcing long
term environmental
protection for the community.
All inspection results and related photo documentation will be tracked in a database and monitored and analyzed by the assigned Supervisor.
Statistics will be provided upon request to management and City elected officials. The database of these results will be audited periodically to maintain data integrity.
The requested funding will allow the City of Fresno to add an inspector position in the CAPP team, purchase a trailer for cannabis abatement purposes and expand our enforcement capabilities with utilizing a 3D camera on inspections to support documentation accuracy. The funding will also ensure the City will be submitting accurate data on the required quarterly progress reports to the BSCC.
