City Council
I again URGE you all to vote NO placing on the ballot any future cannabis sales and taxation development in HB. The last thing we need is more people driving, walking, riding bikes and sitting all around town stoned on smoking weed.

Subject: July 18, 2022 City Council Agenda Item 12
Dear Mayor Delgleize and City Council Members,
I have looked over the material that is provided in tomorrow night's city council agenda item #12. I did happen to vote in favor of the council setting the sale tax on cannabis sales. I am having second thoughts about my vote. I hope that you will not set any sales tax on cannabis at this time.
I do agree in principle with the legalization and regulation of cannibis. The goal of regulating this product is to reduce the control and sales by the cartels and criminal elements. I think it is important to keep this goal in mind when setting policy.
I would ask you to engage a financial analysis to compare the sales tax revenue with the additional tax vs. with the existing sales tax. My hunch is that the gross sales of regulated sales outlets would decrease dramatically if an additional tax was applied to their product. This would have the negative effect of driving business to the underworld, exactly what we are trying to prevent.
I hope this makes sense to you. I think a financial analysis of the additional sales tax vs. no additional sales tax would inform you with the data you need to make the best decision. Please keep in mind the purpose of regulating this product is to eliminate the criminal element that currently exists. We may have to give up a bit of revenue, but it is the price we pay to reduce crime.

Thank you, I'm sure you'll make good policy on this issue. COMMUNICATION Meeting Date: 7/19/2022

I am unable to attend today's meeting but, am still against Cannabis businesses due to the rising drug epidemic that we are fighting. I prefer to not have them open and to shut down the ones that are open in other cities, states, and countries because they do make their way to Huntington Beach. Thanks for keeping in touch with me.
Sincerely,

To all City Council members,
I support the city's efforts to bring additional revenue to the city via cannabis shops. Santa Ana has been getting revenue from cannabis shops for years. I'd rather have my tax dollars supporting Huntington Beach. I'm certain many more of us residents feel the same way.

Subject: open letter to the city council
I recently read an article in the July 14, 2022 edition of the Huntington Beach Wave, regarding the council's pot tax and sales legalization efforts. While I agree that if sales are legalized in Huntington Beach, they should be taxed I do not think it is a direction that the city should go, and am expressing my strong opposition to any move by the city council to legalize or place on the ballot to legalize marijuana.
I voted in support of the recent ballot question only on the basis that it was not tied to any effort to legalize marijuana. I agree with the rationale that if it is legal, it should be taxed. However, legalization brings a whole host of problems with it.
First, since legalization here In California alone the illegal marijuana market has not disappeared as proponents suggested. In fact, it has continued, in some aspects gotten worse, with the influx of marijuana that overflows from growers from over saturating the legal market onto the black market, has introduced marijuana to the black market with a higher THC content than ever before. Violence continues in that environment as growers and distributors fight for access and control. The sale, possession and distribution of marijuana remains unlawful under federal law. Public use of marijuana is illegal under state law, however you can go downtown as I did over the 4th of July weekend and be subjected to people openly smoking marijuana inside the carnival area, right next to kids, by the food trucks and the music stage, with no HBPD in sight.
During my twenty year career with the California Highway Patrol, I dealt with thousands of people who had recommendations for medical marijuana, many of which admitted just getting a recommendation so they could smoke pot. In my time I only encountered one person who had the state issued marijuana card. This is a testament to the ineffectiveness of the states system and the fallacy of the compassionate use act.
There are several CBD shops downtown main street, which I know are distributing to people under 21. I know this for a fact because my seventeen-year-old son has gotten it there. These are businesses that are permitted and licensed by the city, which are openly violating the law. In probably the most heavily trafficked area of the city by visitors and tourists.
Since, ballot measure A was defeated I think the city council should glean two things from that vote. The residents of the city do not want marijuana businesses taxed and more importantly they don't want marijuana legalized here. I sure don't, and if we aren't going to tax it why would we legalize it. I want no sales of any kind of marijuana, and no distribution businesses. I do not oppose non-retail cannabis businesses that are restricted to testing.
The current proposal to allow businesses to be within 600 feet of a park or elementary school, 1000 feet from a middle or high school is an insufficient restriction on exposure. I would suggest no closer than ½ mile to any day care, park or school with students under 18. If people want it that bad they can go to Santa Ana, Costa Mesa or anywhere but here in Sincerely, SUPPLEMENTAL

TO: Huntington Beach City Council ([email protected]) SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM NO. 12 Regarding Cannabis Business Regulation and Taxation Measures on the November 8, 2022 General Municipal Election Ballot for Voter Approval (July 19, 2022 City Council Meeting) Dear Honorable Mayor Delgleize and members of the City Council, As residents of Huntington Beach, we are OUTRAGED to find that the City staff is proposing to allow for cannabis cultivation, manufacturing, and testing in the industrial area south of Ernest Drive, east of Goldenwest Street, north of Garfield Avenue, and west of Gothard Street.
There has been NO direct public outreach to our community about the draft ordinance presented to the City Council on July 5, 2022 which includes locational criteria that would allow cannabis businesses as close as SEVENTY (70) FEET from our backyards. We object in the strongest way to the public health issues related to the odors and traffic generated by cannabis uses as well as the public safety issues that accompany these cash uses, especially so close to the homes where we and our children live and play.
Further, maps showing that the area behind our homes would be impacted have ONLY BECOME AVAILABLE in materials available with the agenda for this July 19, 2022 meeting. This blatant lack of transparency is reprehensible and not at all in keeping with good governance of the City constituents that you have been elected to serve.
We urge the City Council to amend locational criteria to eliminate the possibility for any type of cannabis use to be located in the industrial area south of Ernest Drive, east of Goldenwest Street, north of Garfield Avenue, and west of Gothard Street.
Sincerely,
Undersigned residents of Huntington Beach

This blatant lack of transparency is reprehensible and not at all in keeping with good governance of the City constituents that you are responsible to serve.
MOST IMPORTANLY, we urge the City Council to amend locational criteria to eliminate the possibility for any type of cannabis business to be located in the industrial area south of Ernest Drive, east of Goldenwest Street, north of Garfield Avenue, and west of Gothard Street, which is a miniscule distance from a residential community and children's back yards. Any cannabis businesses should NOT be located on the perimeter of any residential community.
Sincerely,
