STAFF REPORT

To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Steven Graham Pacifico, City Attorney
Subject: Resolution No. 10572, Consideration of a Remote Participation and Technology Disruption Policy Pursuant to Senate Bill 707

RECOMMENDATION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council discuss and consider adoption of the Remote Participation and Technology Disruption Policy.

SUMMARY:

The Legislature of the State of California adopted Senate Bill 707 in 2025, which added Government Code Section 54953.4 to the Brown Act. Among other things, SB 707 requires the City Council to provide real-time remote public participation at City Council meetings either through a two-way telephonic service or a two-way audiovisual platform no later than July 1, 2026. Additionally, Section 54953.4 requires the City Council to adopt a policy addressing disruptions to the technology that could prevent members of the public from participating remotely. That policy is attached for the City Council’s consideration. In summary, the policy requires the City to make in good faith efforts to restore the telephonic or internet-based service in the event a disruption occurs that prevents members of the public from participating remotely. The City must engage in those efforts for at least an hour, or until the connection is restored, whichever occurs first. If the City cannot restore the connection after one hour of good faith efforts, the City Council may proceed with the meeting after making specific findings that the public interest in continuing the meeting outweighs the public interest in remote participation.

STAFF REPORT

To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Steven Graham Pacifico, City Attorney
Subject: Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance No. 1835, Regulating the Sale and Distribution of Kratom Products

RECOMMENDATION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council introduce for first reading, by title only, and waive further reading of Ordinance No. 1835 of the City Council of the City of Indio, California, Regulating the Sale and Distribution of Kratom Products.

SUMMARY:

The proposed ordinance would add Chapter 134 to the Indio Municipal Code to regulate the sale, distribution, 7- products, kratom of sale and possession display, marketing, furnishing, for hydroxymitragynine products, commonly known as “7-OH,” and synthesized or semi-synthesized kratom alkaloid products. The ordinance is modeled on Riverside County Ordinance No. 1004, while adapting the enforcement provisions to the City’s municipal code framework and local enforcement needs. Riverside County’s ordinance prohibits sales to persons under 21 years of age, prohibits products with more than 2% 7-OH as a percentage of total kratom alkaloids, and prohibits child- attractive packaging and marketing. The ordinance is intended to address emerging public health and safety concerns associated with concentrated 7-OH and kratom-derived products sold in retail settings, including smoke shops, convenience stores, gas stations, and online markets. The FDA has stated that 7-OH is a concentrated byproduct of kratom with potential for abuse due to its ability to bind to opioid receptors, and the FDA has recommended scheduling action for certain 7-OH products under the federal Controlled Substances Act.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

Kratom, or Mitragyna speciosa, is a tropical plant native to Southeast Asia. Products derived from kratom leaves are commonly sold in powder, capsule, tablet, gummy, drink, extract, and shot form.

Kratom contains several alkaloids, including mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine. According to the FDA, 7-OH occurs naturally in kratom only as a minor constituent, generally comprising less than 2% of the total alkaloid content in natural kratom leaves; however, 7-OH has substantially greater mu-opioid receptor potency than mitragynine and other opioids such as morphine.

The recent regulatory concern has focused less on traditional kratom leaf products and more on products containing added, enhanced, concentrated, synthesized, or semi-synthesized 7-OH. The FDA has issued warning letters to companies marketing products containing 7-OH, including tablets, gummies, drink mixes, and shots, and has stated that 7-OH is not lawful in dietary supplements, AGENDA ITEM #10.3
Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance No. 1835 , Regulating the Sa... Page 297 of 345 cannot lawfully be added to conventional foods, and is not contained in any FDA-approved drug product.

The FDA has also warned consumers that products containing 7-OH may cause serious harm, including and insomnia, distress, seizures, depression, anxiety, addiction, gastrointestinal withdrawal symptoms. The FDA has identified the retail availability of these products, particularly in smoke shops, gas stations, corner stores, and online sales channels, as a public health concern.

At the state level, the California Department of Public Health and the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control have also taken enforcement and educational actions concerning kratom and 7-OH products. ABC has reported that CDPH considers food and dietary supplements containing kratom and/or 7-OH to be adulterated under federal and state law, and that CDPH has seized more than $5 million worth of kratom and 7-OH products.

In October 2025, Riverside County adopted Ordinance No. 1004 to regulate the sale and distribution of kratom products in the unincorporated county area. The County ordinance was intended to prohibit the sale, distribution, or possession of kratom and 7-OH products containing more than 2% 7-OH health elevated with associated public risks recognizing fraction, alkaloid the in the concentrations of 7-OH. The proposed Indio ordinance follows that regional policy approach while creating a standalone City ordinance applicable within the City.

The ordinance also includes enforcement provisions tailored to the City’s enforcement authority.

Violations may be prosecuted as misdemeanors or infractions, or addressed through administrative citations, civil actions, injunctive relief, nuisance abatement, or other remedies authorized by the Indio Municipal Code or applicable law. The ordinance also authorizes lawful seizure and disposal of violating recognizes determination; criminal or administrative, appropriate after products civil, potential business license and permit remedies; and authorizes cost recovery for investigation, enforcement, abatement, storage, testing, disposal, and related costs.

These provisions are intended to provide City enforcement officials with practical tools to address retail sale and distribution of prohibited products while preserving due process and ensuring that any seizure, disposal, license action, or cost recovery is handled in accordance with applicable law. The ordinance does not purport to regulate lawful medical, pharmaceutical, or research activities otherwise authorized by state or federal law.

The proposed local regulations are also consistent with the regional approach adopted by Riverside County. Riverside County Ordinance No. 1004 includes the same core public health concepts:
restricting sales to minors, limiting products with elevated 7-OH concentration, and prohibiting packaging attractive to children. Adoption of a City ordinance would allow the City to regulate and enforce these requirements within the City limits.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF INDIO,
CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

It is the intent of the City Council to prohibit the sale, distribution, or possession of kratom and hydroxymitragynine (also known as 7-OH) products within the City of Indio that contain more than 2% of 7-OH in the alkaloid fraction, recognizing the significant health risks associated with elevated concentrations of this alkaloid.

Kratom (mitragyna speciosa) is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia, and its leaves are often consumed in powdered or extract form for their stimulant and sedative effects. The active compounds in kratom include mitragynine and 7-OH.

While mitragynine is present in higher concentrations, 7-OH is more potent and is largely responsible for the stronger pain-relieving, sedative, and euphoric effects.

Research has shown 7-OH has euphoric and mood-enhancing effects, particularly at higher doses, which can increase its appeal for recreational use. Research has also shown that 7-OH binds to opioid receptors in the brain with greater affinity than morphine, making it significantly more powerful in relieving pain. This greater potency raises significant concerns about its safety profile, especially regarding the potential for addiction, overdose, and adverse physical and psychological effects, including nausea, vomiting, and potential psychosis. These risks are compounded when products contain higher concentrations of 7-OH.
products, kratom of safety the have concerns raised advisories Health over particularly those with higher concentrations of 7-OH, which may increase the potential for abuse and harm to public health. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued several warning letters to various companies for

illegally marketing products containing enhanced levels of 7-OH culminating in a formal request to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) on July 29, 2025, to place 7-OH products on the controlled substance list.

Health officials, including the FDA, have raised concerns over the safety of kratom products, particularly those with higher concentrations of 7-OH, which may increase the potential for abuse and harm to public health.

At least one county in California, and several cities in California, has recently taken steps to regulate or ban kratom products, recognizing the need to protect public safety, especially among vulnerable populations.

The City Council, in its commitment to safeguarding the health and well-being of its residents by ensuring that products available for sale do not pose undue health risks, hereby restricts the sale and distribution of kratom and 7-OH products containing reducing fraction, alkaloid the in thereby of 2% than 7-OH more potential risks to public health and safety.

STAFF REPORT

To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Steven Graham Pacifico, City Attorney
Subject: Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance No. 1836, Regulating the Sale and Distribution of Nitrous Oxide

RECOMMENDATION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council introduce for first reading, by title only, and waive further reading of Ordinance No. 1836 of the City Council of the City of Indio, California, Regulating the Sale and Distribution of Nitrous Oxide

SUMMARY:

The proposed Ordinance adds Chapter 135 to the Indio Municipal Code to regulate the sale and distribution of nitrous oxide within the City. Nitrous oxide, commonly known as “laughing gas,” “NOX,” “whippits,” and, in some marketed products, “galaxy gas,” has legitimate medical, dental, culinary, industrial, automotive, and commercial uses. However, it is also increasingly misused as an inhalant for its intoxicating effects. The Ordinance would generally prohibit the sale, attempted sale, offer for sale, distribution, furnishing, provision, or transfer of nitrous oxide, devices used to dispense or administer nitrous oxide, and devices containing nitrous oxide, except for specified lawful uses. The Ordinance preserves exemptions for nitrous oxide contained in food products for use as a propellant, wholesale transactions for lawful commercial uses, automotive performance products, licensed medical and dental uses, lawful pharmacy-related uses, and other circumstances exempted under state or federal law. The Ordinance also establishes provisions for seizure, evidence recovery, cost remedies, permit and license business disposal, handling, and enforcement.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

Nitrous oxide is a colorless gas used clinically as an anesthetic, analgesic, and anxiolytic, and it is also commonly used as a propellant in whipped cream dispensers and in other commercial or industrial applications. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported that nitrous oxide and euphoric rapid produce can that accessible recreational widely a is substance hallucinogenic effects, and that repeated misuse can cause severe neurologic, cardiovascular, and psychiatric signs and symptoms.

The Food and Drug Administration has specifically advised consumers not to inhale nitrous oxide products from any size canisters, tanks, or chargers. The FDA has warned that such products are sold as food-processing propellants for whipped cream and culinary use, but that intentional misuse or inhalation can lead to serious adverse health events, including death. The FDA has identified reported symptoms and risks including asphyxiation, frostbite, blood clots, loss of consciousness, AGENDA ITEM #10.4
Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance No. 1836 , Regulating the Sa... Page 306 of 345 numbness, paralysis, psychiatric disturbances, vitamin B12 deficiency, spinal cord or brain damage, and death.

California law already addresses certain unlawful uses and distribution practices involving nitrous oxide. Penal Code section 381e requires persons who dispense or distribute nitrous oxide to record transactions, obtain purchaser information and identification, retain the records for one year, and provide written warnings that inhalation outside a clinical setting may have dangerous health effects and that state law prohibits possession or distribution for purposes of intoxication. However, local jurisdictions have increasingly considered and adopted additional regulations to address retail sales practices, including sales through smoke shops, vape shops, convenience stores, gas stations, and other retailers where products may be made available in a manner inconsistent with lawful culinary, medical, dental, industrial, or automotive use.

The proposed Ordinance is intended to protect the public health, safety, and welfare by reducing the availability of nitrous oxide for unlawful recreational inhalation while preserving legitimate lawful uses. The Ordinance is structured as a stand-alone chapter of the Indio Municipal Code and would add Chapter 135, “Regulation of Nitrous Oxide.”

STAFF REPORT

To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Steven Graham Pacifico, City Attorney
Subject: Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance No. 1837, Regulating the Sale and Distribution of Drug Paraphernalia

RECOMMENDATION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council introduce for first reading, by title only, and waive further reading of Ordinance No. 1837 of the City Council of the City of Indio, California, Regulating the Sale and Distribution of Drug Paraphernalia

SUMMARY:

The proposed ordinance would add a new Chapter 136 to the Indio Municipal Code establishing local regulations for businesses that sell, offer for sale, display, distribute, furnish, market, or possess for sale drug paraphernalia. The ordinance is intended to supplement existing state law by providing local business, operational, nuisance abatement, administrative, and enforcement tools to address the secondary impacts associated with drug paraphernalia retailers. The ordinance does not attempt to legalize conduct prohibited by state law, nor does it prohibit any activity that state law requires the City to allow. Instead, it establishes reasonable local standards and remedies to protect public health, safety, and welfare, reduce nuisance conditions, and support enforcement against businesses that facilitate or contribute to unlawful controlled substance activity.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The City has a substantial interest in protecting residents, businesses, visitors, neighborhoods, and public spaces from activities that contribute to unlawful drug use, narcotics-related crime, nuisance conditions, and public health risks. The City Council has previously identified the importance of maintaining safe commercial corridors, reducing blight and nuisance activity, and ensuring that businesses operating within the City do so in a manner consistent with applicable law and community standards.

California law already regulates drug paraphernalia, including under Health and Safety Code sections 11014.5 and 11364 through 11364.7. However, state law does not fully occupy the field of local business licensing, land use regulation, operational standards, public nuisance abatement, administrative enforcement, cost recovery, or local remedies designed to address secondary impacts associated with drug paraphernalia retailers.

The proposed ordinance would add Chapter 136, entitled “Drug Paraphernalia Retail Regulations,” to the Indio Municipal Code. The new chapter would establish local regulations for businesses that sell, offer for sale, display, distribute, furnish, market, or possess for sale drug paraphernalia. The AGENDA ITEM #10.5

Page 314 of 345 ordinance is intended to supplement existing state law by providing local operational standards and enforcement tools to address nuisance conditions, unlawful drug activity, and other adverse secondary impacts associated with drug paraphernalia retailers.

The ordinance would prohibit unlawful sales, displays, marketing, distribution, and furnishing of drug paraphernalia; require retailers to maintain all required City business licenses, land use approvals, and permits; restrict visibility and access to paraphernalia; impose operational requirements such as video surveillance, limited hours of operation, locked display cases, and property maintenance standards; and authorize enforcement through criminal prosecution, administrative citations, civil action, nuisance abatement, business license or permit remedies, and cost recovery. Any violation would be declared unlawful and a public nuisance, and the remedies provided would be cumulative to other remedies available under the Municipal Code or applicable law.

STAFF REPORT

To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Brian Tully, Chief of Police
Subject: Acceptance of Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Law Enforcement Activities enclosed the approve $141,421, for funds ("ELEAS") Subaccount expenditure plan (Attachment 2), and authorize the City Manager to sign the expenditure plan and other relevant documents.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council accept Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Enhancing Law Enforcement Activities Subaccount ("ELEAS") funds for $141,421, approve the enclosed expenditure plan (Attachment 2), and authorize the City Manager to sign the expenditure plan and other relevant documents.

SUMMARY:

The Riverside County Sheriff's Department ("RSO") disburses ELEAS funds (formerly known as "SLESA") to local cities monthly to support frontline police services. The City proposes using ELEAS funds to support the purchase of public safety equipment and supplies, offset training costs, and pay for other law enforcement services. Fiscal Year 2025-2026 ELEAS funds will be incorporated into next fiscal year's budget.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

In 1996, the California State Legislature enacted Assembly Bill 3229, creating the Supplemental Law Enforcement Account ("SLESA"). These funds are distributed to cities and counties to support frontline police services. Each entity is guaranteed a minimum of $100,000 per fiscal year, and any additional eligible funding ("revenue growth") is distributed on a per capita basis. The City's Fiscal Year 2025-2026 ELEAS allocation is $141,421 (Attachment 1).

Senate Bill 823 requires that the Chief of Police of a participating city or the chief administrator submit a written request to the city council outlining the annual revenue appropriation and planned expenditures for ELEAS funds. Participating agencies must spend these funds in accordance with the provisions established by the California State Legislature. The City's proposed spending plan is reflected in Attachment 2. The City Council is expected to act upon this recommendation at a public meeting (Attachment 3).

The subject site currently operates under an active Type 20 Off-Sale Beer and Wine License. During the ABC application review process, the existing Type 20 license will remain active until issuance of the proposed Type 21 license, at which time the Type 20 license would be surrendered. Pursuant to Section 6.04.08 of the Unified Development Code, the City Council, based on a determination by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, must make a determination as to whether the sale of alcohol at the subject location serves a public convenience and/or necessity.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The applicant initiated an application with the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) on November 26, 2025, for a Type 21 (Off-Sale General) Liquor License to authorize the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-stie consumption within an existing convenience market and fueling station located at 40695 Jefferson Street, Indio CA 92203 (Assessor’s Parcel Number 607- 260-077), operating as Circle K.

The subject property is located within Census Tract 494, The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control determined that the subject property is located within an area of “undue concentration” meaning the number of existing off-sale alcohol licenses exceeds the amount authorized by ABC within the Census Tract.

Review of a Request for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessit... Page 337 of 345

The subject location currently operates under an active Type 20 Off-Sale Beer and Wine License originally issued on July 11, 2023. During the ABC application review process, the existing Type 20 license will remain active until issuance of the proposed Type 21 license, at which time the Type 20 license would be surrendered. Due to the existing Type 20 license remaining active during the application review process, ABC requires a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity determination for the proposed Type 21 license.

Pursuant to California Business and Professions Code Section 23958.4, ABC is required to deny an application for license if the issuance would result in or add to an undue concentration of licenses unless the local governing body determines that public convenience or necessity would be served by issuance of the license. Therefore, the City Council must consider whether the proposed request serves the public convenience and/or necessity.

ANALYSIS
State Regulations – Undue Concentration of Liquor Licenses California Business and Professions Code Section 23958.4 specifies that “undue concentration” exists when the ratio of off-sale retail licenses to population within a census tract exceeds the ratio of off-sale retail licenses to population within the county. The subject property is located within Census Tract 494, where the number of active off-sale licenses exceeds the threshold established by ABC.

ABC records identify the following active off-sale licenses within Census Tract 494:

During the ABC application review process, the existing Type 20 license will remain active until issuance of the proposed Type 21 license, at which time the Type 20 license would be surrendered. Due to the existing Type 20 license remaining active during the review process, ABC requires a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity determination for the proposed request.

The site is development with an existing Circle K convenience market and fueling station currently operating under an active Type 20 Off-Sale Beer and Wine License. The proposed request seeks

Review of a Request for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessit... Page 339 of 345 authorization for a Type 21 Off-Sale General License for the existing business. Therefore, the proposed request is consistent with the City’s General plan 2040 and applicable provisions of the Unified Development Code.

II. The proposed use is compatible with the nature, condition, and character of adjacent land uses.

The subject property is developed with an existing Circle K convenience market and fueling station located within a commercially zoned site. Surrounding properties are zoned Regional Commercial (RC) and Light Industrial (IL), which permit similar commercial and service-oriented uses. The proposed request does not involve expansion of the existing building or fueling station and would continue operation of an existing commercial use within the area. Therefore, the proposed request is compatible with the nature, condition, and character of adjacent land uses.

III. The proposed use would not have an adverse effect on adjacent land uses.

The request involves authorization for a Type 21 Off-Sale General License within an existing convenience market and fueling station that has operated since 2023. The proposal does not include expansion of the building footprint or intensification of the existing commercial operations beyond the proposed sale of distilled spirits in addition to existing beer and wine sales. The site remains subject to enforcement by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control and the Indio Police Department. Therefore, the proposed request is not likely to have an adverse effect on adjacent land uses.

IV. The proposed use would not result in an excessive number of similar establishments in close proximity.

Census Tract 494 is authorized for one (1) off-sale alcohol license and currently contains one (1) active off-sale alcohol license at the subject Circle K location. During the ABC application review process the existing Type 20 license will remain active until issuance of the proposed Type 21 license, at which time the Type 20 license would be surrendered. The request involves an existing convenience market and fueling station operating within the Regional Commercial zoning designation and does not involve expansion of the existing building footprint or established of a new commercial use. The site currently serves residents, commuters, and visitors traveling through the Jefferson Street and Interstate 10 corridor. Therefore, the proposed request would not result in an excessive number of similar establishments in close proximity.

CONCLUSION
Based of the preceding information, review of the submitted floor plans and site plans, and the successful completion of the Indio Police Department background investigation, staff recommends that the City Council approve the request for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for a Type 21 Off-Sale General License for the existing Circle K convenience market and fueling station located at 40695 Jefferson Street, Indio CA 92203 (APN: 607-260-077)

Sections 23958 and 23958.4 of the Business and Professions Code requires the Department to deny the application unless the local governing body of the area in which the applicant premises are located, or its designated subordinate officer or body, determines within 90 days of notification of a completed application that public convenience or necessity would be served by the issuance.

Please complete items #24 to #30 below and certify or affix an official seal, or attach a copy of the Council or Board resolution or a signed letter on official letterhead stating whether or not the issuance of the applied for license would serve as a public convenience or necessity.

Please describe below the reasons why issuance of another license is justified in this area. You may attach a separate sheet or additional documention, if desired. Do not proceed to Part 3.
