Re: Proposal for Cannabis Management Services
Dear Ms. Vasquez,
Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal for cannabis management services for the City of Maywood.

3 Proposal for Cannabis Management Services
for the City of Maywood April 17, 2026
II. PROPOSED SCOPE OF SERVICES
HdL has been providing the City of Maywood with a suite of cannabis management services since May of 2017. These services include conducting a series of four quarterly compliance inspections per year for each licensed business. If the inspection identifies any violations of law or other non-compliance issues, HdL provides a notice to comply as an included part of the report. While these issues may sometimes be corrected with little or no follow up, some occurrences have required supplemental site visits and additional reports by HdL. HdL provides these supplemental inspections on an as-needed basis to address any issues of noncompliance.

HdL has also been providing the City with annual revenue audits of cannabis businesses to ensure they are reporting and remitting the proper portion of their gross receipts; as well as supplemental background checks of all owners, managers and employees of cannabis businesses; and additional hours of general consulting that have been used as needed by the City.

The City now desires to extend the agreement for these existing services for another year. The services are described in detail below.

Objective 1: Compliance Inspections
HdL will conduct one or more on-site compliance inspections annually, as requested by the City, for each permitted cannabis business to determine compliance with State and/or local laws. If HdL identifies any non-compliant activities, we will provide the City with a recommended appropriate action to address the deficiency and to ensure future compliance by the permittee.

The cost for these services includes all of the following:
• Notifying permittee of pending inspection
• On-site inspection to ensure that each business complies with all State and local laws and regulatory protocols for all of the following:
o Inventory management
o Cash handling procedures
o Access control
o Video surveillance
o Product safety
o Alarm system maintenance and safety
o Lock standards
o Packaging and labeling
o Waste management
o Transportation documentation
o Surveillance equipment maintenance
o Occupational badges
o Business records

4 Proposal for Cannabis Management Services
for the City of Maywood April 17, 2026
o Other items as necessary to ensure compliance with laws • Preparation of a draft report detailing the findings of the inspection and providing recommendations for improvement where needed. If the inspection identifies any violations of law or other non-compliance issues, then HdL will prepare a notice to comply as an included part of the report.
• All travel costs associated with the inspection, assuming a minimum of four inspections per day. If fewer than four inspections are requested, HdL will charge for travel based upon hourly rates, or a flat fee to be determined in consultation with City. • All phone, email and other communications involved in preparing for, scheduling and coordinating the inspections and providing the report.

Facilities greater than 30,000 square feet will be subject to an additional cost at HdL’s hourly rate to account for the additional time involved in conducting inspections, documenting issues of non-compliance and preparing reports. HdL will notify the City in advance if additional hourly charges are necessary to complete the inspection.

Issuance of the inspection report constitutes completion of this service. The cost for this service does not include any follow-up re-inspection or review of any documents provided to address or contest any findings of non-compliance, nor does it include any assistance with administrative appeals, litigation, cannabis tax policy questions or guidance, or other services not directly associated with conducting the inspection. Any such additional services requested by the City would be subject to agreement by HdL and would be billed at HdL’s standard hourly rate.

Objective 2: Annual Revenue Audits
HdL will conduct an annual revenue audit of each cannabis business to verify the accuracy of the revenue reported and remitted to the City during the review period and will recommend a tax adjustment should the audit reveal any variances in reported revenue. As part of the audit process, HdL will conduct a risk-based review of each business using our proprietary methodology, which was developed to specifically address the unique challenges associated with auditing the cannabis industry. Our methodology allows audit staff to cross-analyze multiple business records to identify reporting variances, discrepancies and outliers to produce the most accurate measure of gross receipts on behalf of the City.

To initiate the process, the City shall provide HdL with a list of all licensed cannabis businesses subject to audit. HdL shall work with the City to determine the appropriate review period for each business and to develop a schedule for conducting all audits. As the time for each audit approaches, HdL will prepare a notification letter informing the licensee of the impending audit and providing a list of all records and documentation the business is required to provide, including remote access to the business’s point-of-sale (POS) system where applicable. HdL recommends that the notification letter be sent by the City to communicate HdL’s authority to conduct the audit and to encourage cooperation by the business.

The full annual audit shall include:
• Review Point-of-Sale (POS) and/or accounting system reports

5 Proposal for Cannabis Management Services
for the City of Maywood April 17, 2026
• Review inventory system (subject to METRC data)
• Analyze and compare POS/accounting data with other available data sources, including:
o City cannabis tax returns
o State tax returns
o Federal tax returns
o METRC sales and inventory data
o CDTFA data
o Bank statements
o Sales receipts
o Other financial documents as available
• Identify any variances or over/under reporting
• Calculate any taxes or fees due to the City
• Prepare and issue report
Where cannabis cultivation is taxed on a square-footage basis, the audit shall include one annual site inspection to verify compliance with maximum permitted canopy area. Square footage audits may also consider documented findings from inspections by the City, DCC or other agencies, where available.

A business that holds multiple state cannabis licenses shall be considered a single business for audit purposes, provided that all licenses are held and operated under the same name, ownership, location, and a single tax ID number. Any variation may indicate separate business entities requiring separate audits. Any such determination shall be made on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the City.

HdL will provide a draft audit report to the commercial cannabis business. The business will be given an appropriate opportunity to respond to the report or provide supplemental information to address any disagreement with the findings. HdL will review any additional documentation provided by the business and will adjust the tax/fee assessment as appropriate prior to issuing the final report to the City. Issuance of the final report constitutes completion of the audit.

The cost for this service assumes a standard 12-month review period. The cost for a longer term shall be increased per each additional 6-month period (2 fiscal quarters). Pricing available upon request. This cost also assumes reasonable cooperation from the licensee. Noncooperation by the licensee may result in additional charges at HdL’s hourly rate, or in termination of the audit and potential enforcement action by the City. Any such action or additional charges would be determined in consultation with the City.

The cost does not include any review or revision to the audit after the final report has been issued to the City, nor does it include any assistance with collections or enforcement of audit findings, administrative appeals, litigation, cannabis tax policy questions or guidance, or other services not directly associated with preparing the revenue audit report. Any such additional services requested by the City would be subject to agreement by HdL and would be billed at HdL’s standard hourly rate.

6 Proposal for Cannabis Management Services
for the City of Maywood April 17, 2026
Objective 3: Supplemental Follow-up Inspections
HdL will conduct supplemental compliance inspections of permitted cannabis business as needed to address violations of state or local requirements or other incidents of noncompliance discovered during the course of the annual compliance inspections.

HdL’s supplemental compliance inspections will provide for any necessary follow-up to determine whether the permittee has successfully corrected any identified violations. This service includes review of any supplemental documents provided to address or contest any findings of non-compliance, along with a targeted reinspection of the facility to ensure that any and all physical site deficiencies identified in the notice of violation have been adequately addressed. This service may also include a revised supplemental report describing any corrective actions taken to address the violations.

The scope and scale of any supplemental inspections would vary depending upon the specific violations to be addressed and the level of cooperation from the business. All such supplemental inspections will be billed at HdL’s hourly rate, with an estimated average of 4 hours per business.

Inspections will not incur any additional travel charge, provided HdL is given flexibility to schedule them together or in conjunction with other nearby services.

This supplementary service may also be used to provide assistance with appeal of any enforcement action taken by the City pursuant to the findings of any compliance inspection. Any such assistance would be billed at HdL’s hourly rate.

Objective 4: Supplemental Background Checks
HdL shall provide background checks of all owners, principals, managers and/or employees of cannabis businesses. Our background checks supplement the State-required Live Scan fingerprint check, which will only disclose Department of Justice (DOJ) records regarding arrests or convictions. California’s licensing agencies are only allowed to consider convictions for certain “red line” offenses such as serious or violent felonies, or certain felonies involving fraud, minors or drug trafficking, as automatic disqualifiers before granting or denying a license.

Our supplemental background checks expand upon the Live Scan information to identify other factors that may be required by the local ordinance. These considerations may include other felony or misdemeanor convictions, arrest records, civil judgements, restraining orders, the terrorist screening database, the national sex offender registry, delinquent child support payments, bankruptcies, employment and credit records, and more. Our search includes up to 5 variations on the subject’s name and will alert if additional aliases are found which might warrant further investigation.

Our comprehensive background process checks the subject’s name and social security number against over 200 million datasets nationwide, including all of the following:
• 7 yr. unlimited county courts and criminal records search • Social Security, name and address comparison
• DMV search
• National Criminal Court report

7 Proposal for Cannabis Management Services
for the City of Maywood April 17, 2026
• National Sex offender registry
• Federal criminal history
• State Department of Public Safety
• State Department of Corrections
• Terror watch list
• Bankruptcy, lien and judgments
• Delinquent child support payments
• Employment credit report
o Personal information comparison
o Address comparison
o Employment comparison
o Public records search
Any felony convictions that would be automatic disqualifiers pursuant to B&P 26057 (Violent and Serious Felony Convictions) must be confirmed through the Live Scan process. The degree to which other records may be used to inform the approval or renewal of a local business license or permit is subject to local ordinance requirements.

HdL offers separate rates for owners, principals or managers of cannabis businesses and for regular employees or line staff. We also offer a lower rate for annual renewals after the initial background check has been completed. Our rates include an HdL-designed employee identification badge with the city or county logo which meets all State regulatory requirements.

HdL provides an online portal for applicants to submit their application and authorization for background checks and all necessary documentation. Applicants provide their payment directly to HdL through the portal, so there is no cost to the City.

Objective 5: Technical Assistance and Subject Matter Expertise HdL will provide up to 40 hours of general consulting to be utilized on an as-needed basis at the City’s request. Such assistance may include technical assistance, subject matter expertise, research and analysis, education, monitoring of changes to State laws and regulations, participation in conference calls, responding to staff inquires via phone and email, reviewing staff reports to the City Council, assisting with responses to inquiries from the public, or other issues as mutually agreed to by the City and HdL. Any such assistance will be billed at HdL’s standard hourly rate. These additional hours may also be used to provide any other standard cannabis services that HdL offers, which will be billed at the standard rate for that service.

Background Checks Owner, principal
or manager
Employee or
line staff
Initial background check $300 $125
Annual renewal $125 $100
Reissue lost or stolen badge $15 $15
Renewals and background checks for employees include a lesser level of investigation.

Prices valid as of the date of this proposal and subject to change without notice.

AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 16.

DATE: May 27, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: DAISY GUERRERO, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF BUILDING AND PLANNING SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 6466 ESTABLISHING A RESIDENTIAL PREFERENTIAL PARKING PERMIT AREA ALONG 58TH STREET

BETWEEN ATLANTIC BOULEVARD AND PINE AVENUE
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6465 establishing a Residential Preferential Parking Permit Area along 58th Street between Atlantic Boulevard and Pine Avenue pursuant to Maywood Municipal Code Section 4-3.1116.

BACKGROUND:

The City has received ongoing concerns from residents regarding parking congestion, spillover parking, vehicle staging, idling, littering and reduced parking availability within the residential neighborhood surrounding 58th Street between Atlantic Boulevard and Pine Avenue.

Residents have expressed concerns regarding increased parking activity associated with nearby commercial uses and visitor parking impacts affecting residential access and neighborhood quality of life. Staff has also observed recurring parking concerns within the area, including long-term parking, limited residential parking availability, and circulation impacts.

Maywood Municipal Code Section 4-3.1116 authorizes the City Council to establish Residential Preferential Parking Permit Areas when parking conditions adversely impact residential neighborhoods.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed Residential Preferential Parking Permit Program would help prioritize parking availability for residents within the affected neighborhood while allowing the City to better manage parking conditions and operational impacts in the area. This permit would not replace the Overnight Parking Permit requirement.

Overnight Parking Permits will still be required for those hours associated with the permits.

The proposed permit parking area is generally located along 58th Street between Atlantic Boulevard and Pine Avenue and includes residential properties experiencing ongoing parking congestion, spillover parking, vehicle staging, and neighborhood access concerns. Over the last several months, the City has received numerous complaints related to parking impacts, traffic circulation, and quality-of-life concerns within and surrounding the

affected neighborhood.

Based on City records, the impacted area includes the following residential properties and units:
• 4437 E. 58th Street – 13 multifamily residential units • 4435 E. 58th Street – 4 single-family residential units • 4421 E. 58th Street – 4 multifamily residential units • 4411 E. 58th Street – 6 multifamily residential units • 4409 E. 58th Street – 1 single-family residential unit • 4405 E. 58th Street – 2 multifamily residential units • 4401 E. 58th Street – 1 single-family residential unit The total number of recorded livable residential units within the immediate impacted area is approximately 31 units.

The proposed program would authorize staff to:
• Establish residential permit parking regulations;
• Implement guest permit procedures;
• Install appropriate signage;
• Conduct parking enforcement; and
• Establish administrative procedures for program implementation.

Staff anticipates that implementation of the program will help improve residential parking access, traffic circulation, neighborhood quality of life, and parking compliance within the area.

Should the Resolution be adopted, staff will implement the program administratively. It is recommended that, at this time, no fee be established for this program. If it is successful and deemed needed in other areas of the city, the City Council may wish to conduct a fee study and establish a fee for the implementation of such a program on other street blocks or for the permit themselves. Currently, staff plans to model the program after the temporary overnight permit process, which is operated out of City Hall and includes no permit fee.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Costs associated with signage, permit administration, and enforcement implementation are anticipated to be absorbed within the Building and Planning and Public Works Department operational budgets.

CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF

MAYWOOD AND CONSERVATION CORPS OF LONG BEACH FOR YOUTH

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAMS FUNDED

THROUGH THE CALIFORNIA VOLUNTEERS YOUTH SERVICE CORPS PROGRAM RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council:

1. Approve the Agreement between the City of Maywood and Conservation Corps of Long Beach (CCLB) for implementation and administration support services related to the California Volunteers Youth Service Corps Program in the form approved by the City Attorney and City Manager;

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement and any related program documents necessary for implementation of the program; and

3. Authorize staff to proceed with youth recruitment, program development, and grant implementation activities associated with the awarded funding.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Maywood continues to prioritize youth development, workforce readiness, environmental sustainability, and community resiliency through strategic partnerships and grant-funded initiatives. In alignment with these goals, the Community Services Department pursued funding opportunities focused on expanding workforce development opportunities for local young adults while supporting community improvement projects throughout the City.

In 2025, the Community Services Department applied for funding through the California Volunteers Youth Service Corps Competitive Grant Program administered through the Governor’s Office of Service and Community Engagement. The statewide program was developed to support paid workforce opportunities for young adults through projects focused on climate action, food insecurity, public service, education, and community resiliency initiatives.

The grant program was highly competitive statewide and available to cities, counties, nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and regional partnerships throughout California. The City of Maywood successfully secured grant funding and was officially awarded approximately $173,723 in February 2026 to implement local

workforce development and community service programming.

The grant funding supports the development of a structured workforce program designed to provide paid employment opportunities, career exposure, and hands-on job training for local young adults ages 18 to 26.

Program participants will engage in projects related to environmental sustainability, park beautification, food insecurity, public service, and community improvement initiatives.

As part of the grant application process, the City identified Conservation Corps of Long Beach (CCLB) as a strategic implementation partner due to their extensive experience managing youth workforce programs and conservation-based employment initiatives throughout Southern California.

CCLB currently partners with several nearby jurisdictions including the Cities of South Gate, Lynwood, and Long Beach to administer workforce development and environmental stewardship programs. The organization has more than 30 years of experience providing workforce training, conservation education, public service opportunities, and paid job programs for underserved youth and young adults.

Additionally, CCLB currently administers similar youth workforce development projects focused on:
• Park operations and maintenance
• Urban forestry and tree planting
• Watershed management and environmental restoration
• Food insecurity and community food programs
• Public service and civic engagement
• Climate resiliency projects
• Beautification and community cleanup efforts
The proposed partnership will allow the City of Maywood to leverage CCLB’s operational expertise, workforce training infrastructure, reporting systems, and field supervision capabilities to successfully implement the awarded grant program while maximizing community impact.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed Agreement between the City of Maywood and Conservation Corps of Long Beach outlines the responsibilities associated with implementation of the California Volunteers Youth Service Corps Program and establishes a collaborative framework for youth workforce development services within the City.

Under the Agreement, CCLB will provide administrative, operational, and workforce development support services associated with implementation of the grant-funded program. Services will include recruitment assistance, participant training, field supervision, payroll coordination support, project oversight, program compliance, workforce readiness development, reporting requirements, and community project implementation.

The program is anticipated to provide paid workforce opportunities for approximately 10 to 12 Maywood youth and young adults between the ages of 18 and 26. Participants will receive hands-on work experience while engaging in community improvement projects throughout the City.

The program structure focuses on multiple key service areas identified through the State grant program, including:

Participants will receive workforce readiness training and career exposure opportunities focused on:
• Leadership development
• Resume preparation and interview skills
• Teamwork and communication skills

• Environmental stewardship education
• Job readiness and workplace professionalism
• Career pathway exploration
• Financial literacy and personal development support
The program also emphasizes long-term career development and seeks to connect participants with future educational and employment opportunities following program completion.

Program participants may assist with projects focused on environmental sustainability and climate resiliency initiatives throughout the City, including:
• Tree planting and urban forestry activities
• Irrigation monitoring and maintenance
• Park beautification and maintenance projects
• Drought-tolerant landscaping improvements
• Community cleanup efforts
• Environmental education and awareness activities
• Open space and trail improvement projects
The proposed projects align with the City’s broader sustainability goals and ongoing beautification efforts throughout Maywood parks and public spaces.

The grant program also allows participants to support programs related to food insecurity and community assistance efforts. Activities may include:
• Food distribution support
• Community pantry assistance
• Community garden or urban agriculture initiatives
• Volunteer support services at public events
• Resource distribution activities
These activities are intended to strengthen community resiliency while providing meaningful service opportunities for participating youth.

Participants will gain exposure to public service operations and community engagement initiatives through involvement in City-sponsored programs and projects. The partnership is intended to strengthen civic engagement opportunities while encouraging long-term community involvement among local youth residents.

Potential public service assignments may include:
• Community event support
• Outreach and engagement activities
• Assistance with recreational programming
• Environmental education events
• Volunteer coordination support
• Public facility beautification projects
The proposed Agreement establishes the operational partnership between the City and CCLB and includes provisions related to:
• Workforce development program administration
• Participant supervision and safety compliance
• Project coordination and implementation

• Grant compliance and reporting requirements
• Insurance and indemnification requirements
• Performance metrics and program tracking
• Payroll and workforce oversight support
• Record retention and financial documentation
• Program monitoring and reporting standards
The Agreement also outlines requirements for ongoing coordination between the City and CCLB to ensure successful implementation of program objectives and compliance with State grant guidelines.

Additionally, the Agreement requires compliance with California Volunteers reporting requirements, including tracking metrics related to:
• Number of youth participants enrolled
• Hours worked and completed
• Community members served
• Public service projects completed
• Climate and environmental improvements
• Workforce development outcomes
• Program retention and completion rates
Approval of the Agreement and implementation of the Youth Service Corps Program is anticipated to provide several direct benefits to the Maywood community, including:
• Increased paid workforce opportunities for local youth • Expanded environmental stewardship and beautification efforts • Additional support for parks and public spaces
• Workforce training and career development opportunities • Increased youth engagement and civic participation
• Strengthened partnerships with regional workforce organizations • Enhanced community resiliency initiatives
• Expanded support for sustainability and public service projects The program further aligns with the City’s strategic priorities related to youth development, public service, environmental sustainability, and community investment.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this Report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City of Maywood was awarded approximately $173,724 through the California Volunteers Youth Service Corps Competitive Grant Program to support implementation of the workforce development initiative.

Grant funding will be utilized for eligible program-related expenses including:
• Participant wages and workforce support
• Program administration and coordination
• Training and workforce development activities
• Project implementation expenses
• Reporting and compliance requirements

• Operational and supervisory support services
The program is primarily grant funded and no significant impact to the General Fund is anticipated beyond normal staff coordination and administrative oversight associated with grant implementation.

Any future amendments or budget adjustments requiring additional City funding will be brought before the City Council for review and consideration.

AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.

DATE: May 27, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: DAISY GUERRERO, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF BUILDING AND PLANNING SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTING AN INTERIM ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MAYWOOD ENACTED PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65858

ESTABLISHING A MORATORIUM ON ESTABLISHMENT OF ANY TOBACCO SHOPS,

OR THE EXPANSION OR MODIFICATION OF ANY EXISTING TOBACCO SHOPS,

AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF, AND MAKING A DETERMINATION OF

EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council waive full reading of the text of the Interim Urgency Ordinance establishing a temporary forty-five (45) day moratorium on the establishment of any new tobacco shops, or the expansion or modification of existing tobacco shops, within the City of Maywood and declaring the urgency thereof, and adopt the Interim Urgency Ordinance. In addition, Staff recommends that the City Council direct staff to conduct additional study and return with recommendations regarding potential permanent zoning and operational regulations.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Maywood has previously taken legislative action to address tobacco-related public health concerns within the community. In August 2020, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 20-06 prohibiting the sale of flavored electronic cigarette products and flavored tobacco products within the City due to growing concerns regarding youth access, vaping, nicotine addiction, and public health impacts.

As part of Ordinance No. 20-06, the City Council found that flavored tobacco and vaping products were increasingly marketed toward youth and that existing federal and state regulations were insufficient to prevent youth access to these addictive and potentially harmful products. The ordinance also recognized the growing public health concerns associated with vaping products, electronic smoking devices, and tobacco-related products.

Since adoption of Ordinance No. 20-06, staff has observed an increase in tobacco-related retail establishments, commonly referred to as “smoke shops” or tobacco shops, throughout surrounding communities and within the region. These establishments frequently involve the sale of tobacco products, electronic smoking devices, vaping products, smoking paraphernalia, and related merchandise. Staff has also identified concerns regarding the concentration of these uses, compatibility with surrounding neighborhoods and commercial corridors, operational impacts, and the evolving nature of tobacco shop businesses.

DISCUSSION:

Government Code Section 65858 authorizes cities to adopt interim urgency ordinances prohibiting land uses that may conflict with contemplated zoning proposals the City intends to study or adopt. The proposed ordinance would establish a temporary forty-five (45) day moratorium on the establishment of new tobacco shops and the expansion or modification of existing tobacco shops within the City.

The urgency ordinance includes findings that:
• Existing City regulations do not address the modern changes and operational characteristics of tobacco shops;
• Additional planning and research are necessary to evaluate appropriate zoning and operational standards;
• Tobacco shops may create adverse effects impacting surrounding neighborhoods and community character; and
• Immediate action is necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare while the City evaluates potential regulatory options.

The proposed ordinance would:
• Temporarily prohibit the establishment of new tobacco shops; • Prohibit the expansion or modification of existing tobacco shops during the moratorium period; • Allow existing legally established tobacco shops to continue operating provided no expansion or modification is proposed;
• Direct staff to conduct additional planning studies and research; and • Automatically expire after forty-five (45) days unless extended by the City Council pursuant to Government Code Section 65858.

During the moratorium period, staff intends to:
• Review zoning and operational standards adopted by neighboring and comparable jurisdictions; • Evaluate land use compatibility and concentration concerns; • Review spacing and buffer requirements from sensitive uses such as schools, parks, residential neighborhoods, and youth-serving facilities;
• Evaluate business licensing, permitting, signage, and operational standards; • Assess enforcement and nuisance-related considerations; and • Return to the City Council with recommendations regarding potential permanent regulations.

Staff may also evaluate whether updates to the City’s Tobacco Regulations under Chapter 10 of Title 4 of the Maywood Municipal Code are appropriate to ensure consistency with future zoning and operational standards.

City staff is also coordinating with local organizations and community partners to explore educational workshops and outreach programs focused on tobacco prevention, vaping awareness, and substance use education for youth and families within the community.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney reviewed the item.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with adoption of the proposed urgency ordinance. Any future costs associated with preparation of permanent regulations would be absorbed within existing departmental

operating budgets unless otherwise directed by the City Council.

Staff is currently pursuing grant funding opportunities related to tobacco enforcement, education, and prevention efforts to assist with implementation, compliance, outreach, and youth prevention initiatives. Staff will continue seeking additional external funding opportunities and partnerships to support the City’s tobaccorelated public health and enforcement efforts.

ESTABLISHMENT OF ANY TOBACCO SHOPS, OR THE EXPANSION OR MODIFICATION

OF ANY EXISTING TOBACCO SHOPS, AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF, AND

MAKING A DETERMINATION OF EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA

ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MAYWOOD DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. Purpose and Intent. The City of Maywood (“City”) intends to establish a moratorium on the establishment of any tobacco shops, or the expansion or modification of any existing tobacco shops, for the period of time as specified in this ordinance so as to permit further study of the City’s zoning regulations. A tobacco shop includes any retailer who sells, offers for sale, or does or offers to exchange for any form of consideration, tobacco, tobacco products, or tobacco paraphernalia, or who distributes free or low cost samples of tobacco products or tobacco paraphernalia.

Section 2. Legislative Findings. The City Council, as the legislative body of the City, makes the following findings in support of the immediate adoption and application of this urgency interim ordinance regulating land use within the City:

A. The City is responsible for adopting and implementing land use regulations within its boundaries. Existing City regulations have not been developed to adequately address the recent evolution of tobacco shops, also referred to as “smoke shops” in the City. The proliferation of tobacco shop uses has presented a new set of land use challenges. The traditional and widely-accepted character of neighborhood tobacco shops has changed, and newer tobacco shops have been observed to sell smoking paraphernalia that could be used to consume substances other than tobacco, as well as synthetic marijuana substitutes and other products that are potentially harmful to the public health and safety and to the general quality of life. Anecdotal evidence suggests that tobacco shops can create harmful secondary effects in the neighborhoods in which they are located and can result in significant irreversible change to the neighborhood and community character. The decision of whether to permit establishment of new tobacco shops or expansion or modification of existing tobacco shops within the City, and, if permitted, the zoning district or districts in which such use would be permitted and development standards for such use has not been commenced or completed by the City. The City Council lacks sufficient information to determine the proper land use and location criteria for new, expanded or modified tobacco shops, if such are to be permitted.

Finally, this City Council lacks sufficient information to develop and impose regulatory, land use and operational criteria for and upon new, expanded or modified tobacco shops. The City Council does not want to act without adequate information as such would be acting in an arbitrary and capricious manner. Adoption of criteria in such circumstances would negatively affect the general health, safety and welfare of the City as presently developed and negatively impact further development in the City. Alternatively, allowing new tobacco shops without having appropriately studied the land use and its consequence would also not adequately govern and protect the health, safety, and welfare of the City. The City’s staff will conduct research and a review of other Cities’ zoning and development standards regarding this use, as well as investigating the ancillary neighborhood effects of such uses, prior to recommending permanent regulations to the City Council.

B. This moratorium is intended to provide the City with an opportunity to strengthen its zoning provisions to adequately regulate establishment of any tobacco shops, or the expansion or modification of any existing tobacco shops. It is therefore urgent that the City study the options available regarding appropriate operational standards for establishment of any tobacco shops, or the expansion or modification of any existing tobacco shops, in the City to prevent the adverse impacts that may result from the unregulated operation of such uses in the City.

C. The City Council finds that additional planning and research are necessary before the City adopts any operational standards governing establishment of any tobacco shops, or the expansion or modification of any existing tobacco shops. The City intends to undertake such a study within a reasonable time. Given the time required to undertake the study and planning, the City Council finds that it is necessary that this urgency interim moratorium be declared to ensure that no tobacco shops are established, expanded or modified that may be in conflict with the contemplated new use standards are permitted in the interim.

D. For these reasons, and based on all evidence in the record, the City Council finds that there is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare presented by the establishment of tobacco shops, or the expansion or modification of any existing tobacco shops. In the absence of immediate effectiveness, the approval of such use will frustrate the City’s ability to adopt and enforce appropriate regulations designed to protect surrounding development, use, and the public health, safety, and welfare from the potentially adverse effects caused by the establishment of any tobacco shops, or the expansion or modification of any existing tobacco shops. Due to the foregoing circumstances, the City Council finds and determines that the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare requires that this interim ordinance be enacted as an urgency ordinance pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, that it take effect immediately upon adoption, and that its urgency is hereby declared.

Section 3. CEQA Finding. The City Council hereby finds that it can be seen with certainty that this urgency interim ordinance has no likelihood of causing a significant effect on the environment because the adoption of this urgency interim ordinance will maintain the current environmental conditions arising from the current land use regulatory structure as adopted by the City and will preclude the establishment of a category of use for a limited period of time. The City Council therefore determines that the adoption of this ordinance and the effects derivative from its adoption are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act review pursuant to Title 14, Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Code of Regulations.

Section 4. Moratorium Established. Based upon the findings contained in Sections 1 through 3, the City hereby establishes a moratorium on the establishment of any tobacco shops, or the expansion or modification of any existing tobacco shops, in the City.

Section 5. Moratorium Defined. Notwithstanding any other ordinance or provision of the Maywood Municipal Code, no person or entity shall establish any tobacco shop, or expand or modify any existing tobacco shops, during the term of the moratorium established in Section 4 above.

Section 6. Moratorium Term. This ordinance shall expire, and the moratorium established hereby, shall terminate 45 days after the date of adoption of this ordinance unless extended by the City Council, at a regularly noticed public hearing, pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858.

Section 7. Exception. The provisions of Section 4 of this ordinance shall not apply to any existing tobacco shop, previously approved pursuant to the Maywood Municipal Code, that does not seek an expansion or modification in use. All existing tobacco shops shall comply with the requirements of the Maywood Municipal Code and the terms and conditions of any permit issued pursuant thereto, and all other applicable laws.

Section 8. Planning Studies. The City staff shall promptly commence the studies they may deem necessary and appropriate to make recommendations to the City Council regarding the establishment of any tobacco shops, or the expansion or modification of any existing tobacco shops, and the criteria for regulating this use.

Section 9. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase of this ordinance or any part thereof is for any reason held to be invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance or any part hereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid.

Section 10. Publication and Posting. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this ordinance and shall cause the same or a summary thereof to be published and posted in the manner required by law.

PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED, this 27th day of May, 2026.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: RIMO HANSON, FINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF FUNDING OPTIONS TO COVER THE TEEN TECH CENTER

PROJECT FUNDING GAP
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council select a funding option to cover the funding gap for Teen Tech Center project.

BACKGROUND:

The City-owned property at 4801 Slauson Avenue, totaling 8,188 square feet, has remained vacant for an extended period and is now proposed for adaptive reuse as a Teen Tech Center. The project is designed to meet the minimum space requirements for a Best Buy Teen Tech Center, which includes at least 1,300 square feet of dedicated space.

The proposed Teen Tech Center will serve as a hub for community engagement, housing, and mental health resources. Programming will focus on workforce development, technology-based education—such as information technology, 3D printing—as well as life skills development, including healthy cooking and nutrition.

At the April 22, 2026 City Council meeting, staff presented a range of financing options for the Teen Tech Center project, including New Markets Tax Credits, Section 108 financing, Lease Revenue Bonds, a Private Placement Loan, and City self-funding. Following Council discussion, the preferred financing strategy identified was a combination of Section 108 financing and City self-funding.

Tonight, we are bringing back the financing and loan amount options for the section 108 program and the City's selffunding approach.

DISCUSSION:

To recap, to date, the Teen Tech Center Project has secured approximately $2 million from various grants, while the estimated construction cost for the project is estimated to be $8 million, leaving a funding gap of approximately $6 million.

AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 20.

DATE: May 27, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: MIGUEL LEON, DEPUTY CITY CLERK/ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF THE TECHNOLOGY DISRUPTION POLICY FOR CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS PURSUANT TO SENATE BILL 707
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council consider adoption of the Technology Disruption Policy for City Council meetings, as required by Senate Bill 707.

BACKGROUND:

Senate Bill 707 (2025) amended the Brown Act to require "eligible legislative bodies," beginning July 1, 2026, and until January 1, 2030, to comply with additional meeting requirements, including that all open and public meetings include an opportunity for members of the public to attend via a 2-way telephonic service or a 2-way audiovisual platform, and that the city take specified actions to encourage residents to participate in public meetings. The bill also expands language and digital access. If 20% or more of the local population speaks a language other than English and isn't fluent, the legislative body is required to provide translations of the meeting agenda and participation instructions in that language. Agencies are also required to maintain an accessible, dedicated internet webpage detailing public meetings and outlining participation methods, which must also be translated into applicable languages.

Lastly, the bill requires on or before July 1, 2026, to approve at a noticed public meeting in open session a policy regarding disruption of telephonic or internet services occurring during meetings and would require the eligible legislative body to comply with certain requirements relating to disruption, recessing the open session for at least one hour and making a good faith attempt to restore the service. The policy must address how an agency will respond when a disruption prevents members of the public from remotely attending, observing, or participating in a meeting.

The City currently provides public access to City Council meetings through existing procedures, including remote access through Zoom and in-person translation support. The proposed policy in this report addresses that requirement by establishing procedures for announcing the disruption, recessing the meeting, restoring service, reconvening the meeting, and documenting the disruption in the minutes.

DISCUSSION:

Technology Disruption Policy
The proposed Technology Disruption Policy establishes procedures for responding to disruptions in telephonic or internet service during City Council meetings.

Under the proposed policy, the City Clerk’s Office staff, is responsible for meeting technology and would determine whether a disruption to remote access services has occurred. If a disruption occurs, the City Clerk's office staff would announce the disruption to the public, the Mayor may call for a recess, and staff would make good-faith efforts to restore remote access services.

Recess and Reconvening Procedures
The meeting would remain in recess for at least one hour or until service is restored, whichever occurs first. If service is restored, the City Council may reconvene and continue the meeting. If service is not restored after one hour, the City Council may either adjourn the meeting or continue in open session by adopting the required finding by roll call vote.

Recordkeeping
The City Clerk would document the disruption, restoration efforts, reconvening time, and any finding adopted by the City Council in the meeting minutes.

Related SB 707 Implementation Items
The proposed policy addresses the SB 707 technology disruption requirement. Additionally, staff is evaluating related SB 707 implementation items, including agenda and document accessibility, public-facing document access, and the need for a dedicated physical posting location for agenda-related materials. As part of that review, the City is evaluating CivicPlus DocAccess, which converts PDFs into mobile-friendly, screen readerfriendly HTML transcripts and supports translation into more than 150 languages.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Adoption of the Technology Disruption Policy has no direct fiscal impact. Any related SB 707 implementation tools or services will be addressed separately through the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget process.

ATTACHMENT(S)

1. Draft Technology Disruption Policy

2. Senate Bill No. 707

Policy Statement

It is the policy of the Maywood City Council to establish procedures for responding to disruptions in telephone or internet services that provide remote public access to City Council meetings. This policy is adopted pursuant to the Ralph M. Brown Act (Brown Act), Government Code Section 54953.4, as amended by Senate Bill 707, and is intended to support transparency, public participation, and continuity of government operations during technology disruptions.

BACKGROUND
Senate Bill 707 (2025) amended the Brown Act to require eligible legislative bodies to adopt, on or before July 1, 2026, a policy addressing how the agency will respond to disruptions in telephonic or internet service that prevent members of the public from attending, observing, or participating in a meeting remotely.

This policy is adopted to comply with that requirement and to establish procedures for responding to technical disruptions during City Council meetings.

DEFINITIONS
For purposes of this policy:
➢ “Disruption” means any failure, outage, or interruption that prevents members of the public from attending, observing, or providing public comment through remote access services.
➢ “Remote access services” means the telephonic service and/or audiovisual platform used to provide real-time remote public attendance, observation, and participation during meetings.

RESPONSIBLE DEPARTMENT: CITY CLERK’S OFFICE
CONTACT PERSON: CITY CLERK AND DEPUTY CITY CLERK /

ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: POLICY ON DISRUPTION OF TELEPHONIC OR

INTERNET SERVICE DURING CITY COUNCIL

MEETINGS

Policy Statement

SERVICE DISRUPTION
The City Clerk’s Office staff is responsible for meeting technology and shall determine whether a disruption to remote access services has occurred that prevents members of the public from attending, observing, or participating in the meeting remotely.

If a disruption has occurred:

1. The City Clerk shall immediately announce the disruption to the public.

2. The Mayor may then call for a recess while staff attempts to restore the remote access services.

3. If feasible, the City shall post a notice on the meeting webpage or remote access platform informing the public of the disruption and the anticipated reconvening time.

4. Staff shall begin efforts to diagnose and restore the disrupted service.

5. The meeting shall remain in recess for at least one hour or until service is restored, whichever occurs first. The recess period may be extended if restoration efforts are ongoing.

EFFORTS TO RESTORE SERVICE
The City shall make good faith efforts to restore remote access services, which may include any of the following:
• Troubleshooting the meeting platform or teleconferencing software • Resetting or replacing audiovisual equipment
• Attempting alternative connection methods
• Contacting necessary support staff or service providers • Switching to backup equipment or platforms, if available The City Clerk shall document the restoration efforts undertaken.

RECONVENING THE OPEN SESSION
If remote access services are restored, the City Council may reconvene the open session and continue the meeting.

If remote access services cannot be restored during the recess period, the City Council may consider adjournment of the meeting to a future date and time to ensure public access and compliance with the Brown Act.

Policy Statement

If remote access services cannot be restored after one hour, the Maywood City Council may:

1. Adjourn the meeting to a future date and time; or

2. Continue the meeting in open session by adopting the following, or a substantially similar finding, by roll call vote:
“The Maywood City Council finds that the City has made good faith efforts to restore telephonic or internet service in accordance with its adopted policy, and the public interest in continuing the meeting outweighs the public interest in remote public access.”
Upon adoption of the finding, the City Council may continue the open session even though remote access services have not been restored.

RECORDKEEPING
The City Clerk shall enter a brief statement into the meeting minutes, including the following:
• The nature and time of the disruption
• The restoration efforts undertaken
• The time the meeting was reconvened, if applicable
• Any finding adopted by the City Council pursuant to this policy

REVIEW AND UPDATES
This policy may be reviewed and amended by the Maywood City Council as necessary to remain consistent with the Brown Act, Senate Bill 707, and applicable City procedures.

This bill would, beginning July 1, 2026, and until January 1, 2030, require an eligible legislative body, as defined, to comply with additional meeting requirements, including that, except as specified, all open and public meetings include an opportunity for members of the public to attend via a 2-way telephonic service or a 2-way audiovisual platform, as defined, and that the eligible legislative body take specified actions to encourage residents to participate in public meetings, as specified. The bill would require an eligible legislative body, on or before July 1, 2026, to approve at a noticed public meeting in open session a policy regarding disruption of telephonic or internet services occurring during meetings subject to these provisions, as specified, and would require the eligible legislative body to comply with certain requirements relating to disruption, including for certain disruptions, recessing the open session for at least one hour and making a good faith attempt to restore the service, as specified.
(2)  Existing law prohibits a majority of the members of a legislative body, outside a meeting authorized by the act, from using a series of communications of any kind to discuss, deliberate, or take action on any item of business that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the legislative body. Existing law defines “meetings” for these purposes to mean any congregation of a majority of the members of a legislative body at the same time and location, as specified, to hear, discuss, deliberate, or take action on any item that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the legislative body. Until January 1, 2026, existing law excepts from the prohibition a member engaging in separate conversations or communications outside of

91

a meeting with any other person using an internet-based social media platform for specified purposes, provided, among other things, that a majority of the members do not use the internet-based social media platform to discuss among themselves business of a specific nature that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the legislative body.

This bill would make the above-described exception related to communications on an internet-based social media platform applicable indefinitely.
(3)  Existing law requires a legislative body, prior to taking final action, to orally report a summary of a recommendation for a final action on specified forms of compensation for a local agency executive, as defined, during the open meeting in which the final action is to be taken.

This bill would also require the legislative body to make that oral report, as provided above, prior to taking final action on those specified forms of compensation for a department head or other similar administrative officer of the local agency.
(4)  Existing law requires a legislative body of a local agency or its designee, at least 72 hours before a regular meeting, to post an agenda that meets specified requirements, including that the agenda contain a brief general description of each item of business to be transacted or discussed at the meeting, as specified.

This bill would, beginning July 1, 2026, and until July 1, 2030, require the agenda for each meeting of an eligible legislative body, as defined, to be translated into all applicable languages. The bill would define “applicable languages” to mean languages, according to data from the most recent American Community Survey, spoken jointly by 20% or more of the applicable population, as specified, provided that 20% or more of the population that speaks that language that in that city or county speaks English less than “very well,” as specified, and except as provided.

Existing law requires every agenda for regular meetings to provide an opportunity for members of the public to directly address the legislative body on any item of interest of the public, as specified. Existing law specifies that the agenda is not required to provide an opportunity for members of the public to address the legislative body on any item that has already been considered by a committee, as specified, except if the item has been substantially changed since the committee heard the item, as determined by the legislative body.

This bill would add certain exceptions to the provision related to an item that has already been considered by a committee, including excepting committees whose primary subject matter jurisdiction focuses on elections, budgets, police oversight, privacy, removing from, or restricting access to, materials available in public libraries, or taxes or related spending proposals, except as specified.
(5)  Existing law authorizes a legislative body of a local agency to require a copy of the act to be given to each member of the legislative body and specified persons elected to serve as a member of the legislative body, and authorizes an elected legislative body member to require a copy to be given 91 Ch. 327 — 2 —

to each member of each legislative body all or a majority of whose members are appointed by or under the authority of the elected legislative body.

This bill would instead require a local agency to provide a copy of the act to any person elected or appointed to serve as a member of a legislative body of the local agency.

Existing law authorizes legislative bodies of local agencies to impose requirements upon themselves which allow greater access to their meetings than prescribed by the minimal standards set forth in the act, and authorizes an elected legislative body of a local agency to also impose those requirements on those appointed legislative bodies of the local agency of which all or a majority of the members are appointed by or under the authority of the elected legislative body.

This bill would remove the above-described requirement that members of an appointed legislative body of a local agency must be appointed by or under the authority of the elected legislative body of a local agency in order for the elected legislative body to impose the above-described requirements on the appointed legislative body.
(6)  Existing law provides any person attending an open and public meeting of a legislative body of a local agency with the right to record the proceedings with an audio or visual recorder or a still or motion picture camera, as specified.

This bill would remove the reference to an audio or visual recorder or a still or motion picture camera for purposes of recording the proceedings, as described above.
(7)  Existing law authorizes a legislative body of a local agency to use teleconferencing, as specified, and requires a legislative body of a local agency that elects to use teleconferencing to comply with specified general requirements, including that the local agency post agendas at all teleconference locations, identify each teleconference location in the notice and agenda of the meeting or proceeding, and have each teleconference location be accessible to the public. Existing law also requires that, during the teleconference, at least a quorum of the members of the legislative body participate from locations within the boundaries of the territory over which the local agency exercises jurisdiction, except as specified.

Existing law authorizes members who are outside the jurisdiction of a health authority, as defined, that conducts a teleconferencing meeting to, notwithstanding the above-described general teleconference provisions, count towards the establishment of a quorum when participating in the teleconference if, among other things, at least 50% of the number of members that would establish a quorum are present within the boundaries of the territory over which the authority exercises jurisdiction.

Existing law authorizes, in certain circumstances, the legislative body of a local agency to use specified alternative teleconferencing which include provisions related to, among others, notice of the means by which members of the public may access the meeting and offer public comment and identifying and including an opportunity for all persons to attend via a call-in option or an internet-based service option. Those circumstances in which 91 — 3 — Ch. 327

the legislative body of a local agency is authorized to use the alternative teleconferencing provisions include specified circumstances relating to a state of emergency, as defined, and, until January 1, 2026, subject to specified limitations, a member’s need to participate remotely due to just cause, defined to include, among other things, a need related to a physical or mental disability, or emergency circumstances, as defined, if certain quorum and disclosure requirements are met.

Existing law also authorizes certain eligible legislative bodies, including neighborhood councils and student body associations and student-run community college organizations to, until January 1, 2026, use alternate teleconferencing if, among other requirements, the city council or board of trustees, as applicable, has adopted an authorizing resolution and 2⁄3 of the neighborhood city council or specified student organization, as applicable, votes to use alternate teleconference provisions, as specified.

This bill would revise and recast the above-specified teleconferencing and alternative teleconferencing provisions to uniformly apply certain noticing, disclosure, accessibility, and public commenting provisions. The bill would require a legislative body of a local agency that elects to use teleconferencing pursuant to these alternative teleconferencing provisions to comply with, in addition to any other applicable requirements under the act, specified requirements, including that the legislative body provides at least either 2-way audiovisual platform or 2-way telephonic service and a live webcasting of the meeting as a means by which the public may, among other things, remotely hear and visually observe the meeting, and that a member of the legislative body who participates in a teleconference meeting from a remote location pursuant to these alternative teleconferencing provisions and the specific provision of law that the member relied upon to permit their participation by teleconferencing are listed in the minutes of the meeting. The bill would require a local agency to identify and make available to legislative bodies a list of one or more meeting locations that may be available for use by the legislative bodies to conduct their meetings.

The bill would specify that nothing in the bill’s provisions is to be construed to prohibit a member of a legislative body with a disability, as defined, from participating in any meeting of the legislative body by remote participation as a reasonable accommodation pursuant to any applicable law. The bill would apply certain provisions relative to, among other things, quorum establishment to that circumstance.

The bill would instead authorize a health authority, as defined, to conduct a teleconference meeting pursuant to the above-described alternative teleconferencing provisions.

The bill would revise and recast the alternative teleconferencing provisions applicable in a state of emergency, as defined. The bill would also include a local emergency, as defined, as a circumstance in which a legislative body of a local agency is authorized to use the alternative teleconferencing provisions.

The bill would revise and recast the alternative teleconferencing provisions applicable in cases of a member’s need to participate remotely due to just 91 Ch. 327 — 4 —

cause or emergency circumstances, as defined, to remove the provision applicable to emergency circumstances, to revise related definitions, including broadening the definition of just cause to include, among other things, a physical or family medical emergency that prevents a member from attending in person, and to require the minutes for a meeting to identify the specific provision of law that each member relied upon to participate remotely, as specified. The bill would extend the authorization to use the alternative teleconferencing provision until January 1, 2030.

The bill would revise and recast the alternative teleconferencing provisions applicable to neighborhood councils and student body associations and student-run community college organizations. In regards to the alternative teleconferencing provisions applicable to student body associations and student-run community college organizations, the bill would exempt the California Online Community College from specified requirements for an in-person quorum, a physical location for public participation, and certain accommodations under the authorization, and remove the ability for a person with a disability that requires certain accommodations to count towards the in-person quorum requirement. The bill would specify that the student body associations and student-run community college organizations described above are those in any community college recognized within the California Community Colleges system, and would extend the authorization to the Student Senate for California Community Colleges. The bill would extend the authorization to use the alternative teleconferencing provisions applicable to neighborhood councils and student body associations and student-run community college organizations until January 1, 2030.

The bill would, until January 1, 2030, also authorize a specified subsidiary body of local agencies to conduct a teleconference meeting pursuant to the above-described alternative teleconferencing provisions, provided that it complies with the requirements for alternative teleconferencing described above and additional requirements, including that the subsidiary body designates one physical meeting location within the boundaries of the legislative body that created the subsidiary body where members of the subsidiary body who are not participating remotely shall be present and members of the public may physically attend, observe, hear, and participate in the meeting, as specified.

The bill would, until January 1, 2030, also authorize specified multijurisdictional bodies of local agencies to conduct a teleconference meeting pursuant to the above-described alternative teleconferencing provisions, provided that it complies with the requirements for alternative teleconferencing described above and additional requirements, including that the eligible multijurisdictional body has adopted a resolution that authorizes the multijurisdictional body to use teleconferencing at a regular meeting in open session.

The bill would specify that these teleconferencing provisions are cumulative, and would authorize a legislative body to elect to use any teleconferencing provisions that are applicable to a meeting, regardless of 91 — 5 — Ch. 327

whether any other teleconferencing provisions would also be applicable to that meeting.

Existing law defines “teleconference” for purposes of the authorization for a legislative body of a local agency to use teleconferencing to mean a meeting of a legislative body, the members of which are in different locations, connected by electronic means, through either audio or video, or both.

This bill would specify that “teleconference” does not include the attendance of one or more members of a legislative body in a meeting of the body solely by watching or listening via webcasting or any other similar electronic medium that does not permit members to interactively speak, discuss, or deliberate on matters.
(8)  Existing law authorizes a special meeting to be called any time by, among other persons, the presiding officer of the legislative body of a local agency, by delivering specified written notices and posting a notice on the local agency’s internet website, if the local agency has one. Existing law requires specified legislative bodies to comply with the internet website posting requirement.

The bill would remove the requirement that only specified legislative bodies comply with the internet website posting requirement, thereby imposing that requirement on all legislative bodies.
(9)  Existing law authorizes a legislative body of a local agency to hold an emergency meeting without complying with specified notice and posting requirements in the case of emergency circumstances, as specified, and imposes various requirements under these provisions applicable to either legislative bodies generally or legislative bodies which are a school board.

This bill would remove the school board distinction from the above-described provisions, thereby imposing the same requirements to hold an emergency meeting on all legislative bodies of local agencies.

By imposing additional duties on legislative bodies of local agencies, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
(10)  Existing law authorizes, in addition to other related specified authorizations, the presiding member of the legislative body conducting a meeting or their designee to remove, or cause the removal of, an individual for disrupting the meeting. Existing law defines “disrupting” for these purposes to mean engaging in behavior during a meeting of a legislative body that actually disrupts, disturbs, impedes, or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting, as specified.

This bill would specify that a meeting for purposes of that provision includes any teleconferenced meeting. The bill would specify that the existing authority of a legislative body or its presiding officer to remove or limit participation by persons who engage in behavior that actually disrupts, disturbs, impedes, or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting, as specified, applies to members of the public participating in a meeting via a 2-way telephonic service or a 2-way audiovisual platform, as those terms are defined.
(11)  The bill would make other updates to references in the act. 91 Ch. 327 — 6 —

(12)  Existing constitutional provisions require that a statute that limits the right of access to the meetings of public bodies or the writings of public officials and agencies be adopted with findings demonstrating the interest protected by the limitation and the need for protecting that interest.

This bill would make legislative findings to that effect. (13)  The California Constitution requires local agencies, for the purpose of ensuring public access to the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public officials and agencies, to comply with a statutory enactment that amends or enacts laws relating to public records or open meetings and contains findings demonstrating that the enactment furthers the constitutional requirements relating to this purpose.

This bill would make legislative findings to that effect. (14)  The bill would include findings that changes proposed by this bill address a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair and, therefore, apply to all cities, including charter cities. (15)  The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

If an eligible legislative body does not elect to provide a two-way audiovisual platform, the eligible legislative body shall provide a two-way telephonic service for the public to participate in the meeting, pursuant to subclause (I).
(B)  (i)  All open and public meetings for which attendance via a two-way telephonic service or a two-way audiovisual platform is provided in accordance with paragraph (1) shall provide the public with an opportunity to provide public comment in accordance with Section 54954.3 via the two-way telephonic or two-way audiovisual platform, and ensure the opportunity for the members of the public participating via a two-way telephonic or two-way audiovisual platform to provide public comment with the same time allotment as a person attending a meeting in person. (2)  (A)  An eligible legislative body shall reasonably assist members of the public who wish to translate a public meeting into any language or wish to receive interpretation provided by another member of the public, so long as the interpretation is not disrupting to the meeting, as defined in Section 54957.95. The eligible legislative body shall publicize instructions on how 91 Ch. 327 — 12 —

to request assistance under this subdivision. Assistance may include any of the following, as determined by the eligible legislative body:
(i)  Arranging space for one or more interpreters at the meeting location. (ii)  Allowing extra time during the meeting for interpretation to occur. (iii)  Ensuring participants may utilize their personal equipment or reasonably access facilities for participants to access commercially available interpretation services.
(B)  This section does not require an eligible legislative body to provide interpretation of any public meeting, however, an eligible legislative body may elect to provide interpretation of any public meeting. (C)  The eligible legislative body is not responsible for the content or accuracy of any interpretation facilitated, assisted with, or provided under this subdivision. An action shall not be commenced or maintained against the eligible legislative body arising from the content or accuracy of any interpretation facilitated, assisted with, or provided under this subdivision. (3)  An eligible legislative body shall take the following actions to encourage residents, including those in underrepresented communities and non-English-speaking communities, to participate in public meetings:
(A)  Have in place a system for electronically accepting and fulfilling requests for meeting agendas and documents pursuant to Section 54954.1 through email or through an integrated agenda management platform.

Information about how to make a request using this system shall be accessible through a prominent direct link posted on the primary internet website home page of the eligible legislative body.
(B)  (i)  Create and maintain an accessible internet webpage dedicated to public meetings that includes, or provides a link to, all of the following information:
(I)  A general explanation of the public meeting process for the eligible legislative body.
(II)  An explanation of the procedures for a member of the public to provide in-person or remote oral public comment during a public meeting or to submit written public comment.
(III)  A calendar of all public meeting dates with calendar listings that include the date, time, and location of each public meeting. (IV)  The agenda posted online pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 54954.2.
(ii)  The eligible legislative body shall include a link to the webpage required by subparagraph (A) on the home page of the eligible legislative body’s internet website.

(2)  (A)  Notwithstanding paragraph (1), the agenda need not provide an opportunity for members of the public to address the legislative body on any item that has already been considered by a committee, composed 91 — 29 — Ch. 327

exclusively of members of the legislative body, at a public meeting wherein all interested members of the public were afforded the opportunity to address the committee on the item, before or during the committee’s consideration of the item.

This clause shall not apply to an item if the local agency has adopted a law applicable to the meeting of the committee at which the item that was considered prohibits the committee from placing a limit on the total amount of time for public comment on the item.
(3)  Every notice for a special meeting shall provide an opportunity for members of the public to directly address the legislative body concerning any item that has been described in the notice for the meeting before or during consideration of that item.

(2)  Notwithstanding paragraph (1), when the legislative body of a local agency limits time for public comment, the legislative body of a local agency shall provide at least twice the allotted time to a member of the public who utilizes a translator to ensure that non-English speakers receive the same opportunity to directly address the legislative body of a local agency. (3)  Paragraph (2) shall not apply if the legislative body of a local agency utilizes simultaneous translation equipment in a manner that allows the legislative body of a local agency to hear the translated public testimony simultaneously.
(c)  The legislative body of a local agency shall not prohibit public criticism of the policies, procedures, programs, or services of the agency, or of the acts or omissions of the legislative body. Nothing in this subdivision shall confer any privilege or protection for expression beyond that otherwise provided by law.

54956. (a)  (1)  A special meeting may be called at any time by the presiding officer of the legislative body of a local agency, or by a majority 91 Ch. 327 — 30 —

The call and notice shall specify the time and place of the special meeting and the business to be transacted or discussed.

(2)  The call and notice shall be posted at least 24 hours prior to the special meeting in a location that is freely accessible to members of the public. (b)  Notwithstanding any other law, a legislative body shall not call a special meeting regarding the salaries, salary schedules, or compensation paid in the form of fringe benefits, of the legislative body or of a local agency executive, as defined in subdivision (d) of Section 3511.1. However, this subdivision does not apply to a local agency calling a special meeting to discuss the local agency’s budget.

SEC. 19. Section 54956.5 of the Government Code is amended to read:
54956.5. (a)  For purposes of this section, “emergency situation” means both of the following:
(1)  An emergency, which shall be defined as a work stoppage, crippling activity, or other activity that severely impairs public health, safety, or both, as determined by a majority of the members of the legislative body. (2)  A dire emergency, which shall be defined as a crippling disaster, mass destruction, terrorist act, or threatened terrorist activity that poses peril so immediate and significant that requiring a legislative body to provide one-hour notice before holding an emergency meeting under this section may endanger the public health, safety, or both, as determined by a majority of the members of the legislative body.
(b)  (1)  Subject to paragraph (2), in the case of an emergency situation involving matters upon which prompt action is necessary due to the disruption or threatened disruption of public facilities, a legislative body may hold an emergency meeting without complying with either the 24-hour notice requirement or the 24-hour posting requirement of Section 54956 or both of the notice and posting requirements.
(2)  Each local newspaper of general circulation and radio or television station that has requested notice of special meetings pursuant to Section 54956 shall be notified by the presiding officer of the legislative body, or designee thereof, one hour prior to the emergency meeting, or, in the case of a dire emergency, at or near the time that the presiding officer or designee notifies the members of the legislative body of the emergency meeting. 91 — 31 — Ch. 327

(A)  Except as provided in subparagraph (B), the notice required by this paragraph shall be given by telephone and all telephone numbers provided in the most recent request of a newspaper or station for notification of special meetings shall be exhausted. In the event that telephone services are not functioning, the notice requirements of this paragraph shall be deemed waived, and the legislative body, or designee of the legislative body, shall notify those newspapers, radio stations, or television stations of the fact of the holding of the emergency meeting, the purpose of the meeting, and any action taken at the meeting as soon after the meeting as possible. (B)  For an emergency meeting held pursuant to this section, the presiding officer of the legislative body, or designee thereof, may send the notifications required by this paragraph by email instead of by telephone, as provided in subparagraph (A), to all local newspapers of general circulation, and radio or television stations, that have requested those notifications by email, and all email addresses provided by representatives of those newspapers or stations shall be exhausted. In the event that internet services and telephone services are not functioning, the notice requirements of this paragraph shall be deemed waived, and the legislative body, or designee of the legislative body, shall notify those newspapers, radio stations, or television stations of the fact of the holding of the emergency meeting, the purpose of the meeting, and any action taken at the meeting as soon after the meeting as possible. (c)  During a meeting held pursuant to this section, the legislative body may meet in closed session pursuant to Section 54957 if agreed to by a two-thirds vote of the members of the legislative body present, or, if less than two-thirds of the members are present, by a unanimous vote of the members present.
(d)  All special meeting requirements, as prescribed in Section 54956 shall be applicable to a meeting called pursuant to this section, with the exception of the 24-hour notice requirement.

(1)  Prior to the closed session, the legislative body of the local agency shall hold an open and public session in which it identifies its designated representatives.
(2)  The closed session shall be for the purpose of reviewing its position and instructing the local agency’s designated representatives. 91 Ch. 327 — 32 —

(3)  The closed session may take place prior to and during consultations and discussions with representatives of employee organizations and unrepresented employees.
(4)  Any closed session with the local agency’s designated representative regarding the salaries, salary schedules, or compensation paid in the form of fringe benefits may include discussion of an agency’s available funds and funding priorities, but only insofar as these discussions relate to providing instructions to the local agency’s designated representative. (5)  The closed session shall not include final action on the proposed compensation of one or more unrepresented employees.
(6)  For the purposes enumerated in this section, a legislative body of a local agency may also meet with a state conciliator who has intervened in the proceedings.
(b)  For the purposes of this section, the term “employee” shall include an officer or an independent contractor who functions as an officer or an employee, but shall not include any elected official, member of a legislative body, or other independent contractors.

SEC. 21. Section 54957.9 of the Government Code is amended to read:
54957.9. In the event that any meeting is willfully interrupted by a group or groups of persons so as to render the orderly conduct of the meeting unfeasible and order cannot be restored by the removal of individuals who are willfully interrupting the meeting, the members of the legislative body conducting the meeting may order the meeting room cleared and continue in session. Only matters appearing on the agenda may be considered in such a session. Representatives of the press or other news media, except those participating in the disturbance, shall be allowed to attend any session held pursuant to this section. Nothing in this section shall prohibit the legislative body from establishing a procedure for readmitting an individual or individuals not responsible for willfully disturbing the orderly conduct of the meeting.

SEC. 22. Section 54957.95 of the Government Code is amended to read:
54957.95. (a)  (1)  In addition to authority exercised pursuant to Sections 54954.3 and 54957.9, the presiding member of the legislative body conducting a meeting or their designee may remove, or cause the removal of, an individual for disrupting the meeting, including any teleconferenced meeting.
(2)  Prior to removing an individual, the presiding member or their designee shall warn the individual that their behavior is disrupting the meeting and that their failure to cease their behavior may result in their removal. The presiding member or their designee may then remove the individual if they do not promptly cease their disruptive behavior. This paragraph does not apply to any behavior described in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b).
(b)  As used in this section:
(1)  “Disrupting” means engaging in behavior during a meeting of a legislative body that actually disrupts, disturbs, impedes, or renders infeasible 91 — 33 — Ch. 327

the orderly conduct of the meeting and includes, but is not limited to, one of the following:
(A)  A failure to comply with reasonable and lawful regulations adopted by a legislative body pursuant to Section 54954.3 or any other law. (B)  Engaging in behavior that constitutes use of force or a true threat of force.
(2)  “True threat of force” means a threat that has sufficient indicia of intent and seriousness, that a reasonable observer would perceive it to be an actual threat to use force by the person making the threat.

SEC. 23. Section 54957.96 is added to the Government Code, to read:
54957.96. (a)  The existing authority of a legislative body or its presiding officer to remove or limit participation by persons who engage in behavior that actually disrupts, disturbs, impedes, or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting, including existing limitations upon that authority, shall apply to members of the public participating in a meeting via a two-way telephonic service or a two-way audiovisual platform.
(b)  For purposes of this section, the following definitions apply:

A two-way audiovisual platform may be structured to disable the use of video for the public participants.
(2)  “Two-way telephonic service” means a telephone service that does not require internet access and allows participants to dial a telephone number to listen and verbally participate.

SEC. 24. The Legislature finds and declares that Section 4 of this act, which amends Section 54953 of, Section 5 of this act, which adds Section 54953.4 to, Sections 8 to 15, inclusive, of this act, which add Sections 54953.8 to 54953.8.7, respectively, to, Section 19 of this act, which amends Section 54956.5 of, Section 22 of this act, which amends Section 54957.95 of, and Section 23 of this act, which adds Section 54957.96 to, the Government Code, impose a limitation on the public’s right of access to the meetings of public bodies or the writings of public officials and agencies within the meaning of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution.

Pursuant to that constitutional provision, the Legislature makes the following findings to demonstrate the interest protected by this limitation and the need for protecting that interest:
(a)  This act is necessary to provide opportunities for public participation in meetings of specified public agencies and to promote the recruitment and retention of members of those agencies.
(b)  This act is necessary to ensure minimum standards for public participation and notice requirements allowing for greater public participation in meetings.
(c)  This act is necessary to modernize the Ralph M. Brown Act to reflect recent technological changes that can promote greater public access to local officials.
91 Ch. 327 — 34 —

(d)  The exclusively virtual nature of the California Online Community College presents unique barriers to the requirements for an in-person quorum, a physical location for public participation, and certain accommodations.

Participating students of the online community college come from all across the state and necessitating travel for these requirements would pose a significant and exclusionary barrier.

SEC. 25. The Legislature finds and declares that Sections 1 and 2 of this act, which amend and repeal Section 54952.2, respectively, of, Section 3 of this act, which amends Section 54952.7 of, Section 4 of this act, which amends Section 54953 of, Section 5 of this act, which adds Section 54953.4 to, Section 6 of this act, which amends Section 54953.5 of, Section 7 of this act, which amends Section 54953.7 of, Sections 8 to 15, inclusive, of this act, which add Sections 54953.8 to 54953.8.7, respectively, to, Section 16 of this act, which amends Section 54954.2 of, Section 17 of this act, which amends Section 54954.3 of, Section 18 of this act, which amends Section 54956 of, Section 19 of this act, which amends Section 54956.5 of, Section 20 of this act, which amends Section 54957.6 of, Section 21 of this act, which amends Section 54957.9 of, Section 22 of this act, which amends Section 54957.95 of, and Section 23 of this act, which adds Section 54957.96 to, the Government Code, further, within the meaning of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the purposes of that constitutional section as it relates to the right of public access to the meetings of local public bodies or the writings of local public officials and local agencies. Pursuant to paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the Legislature makes the following findings:
(a)  This act is necessary to provide opportunities for public participation in meetings of specified public agencies and to promote the recruitment and retention of members of those agencies.
(b)  This act is necessary to ensure minimum standards for public participation and notice requirements allowing for greater public participation in meetings.
(c)  This act is necessary to modernize the Ralph M. Brown Act to reflect recent technological changes that can promote greater public access to local officials.
(d)  The exclusively virtual nature of the California Online Community College presents unique barriers to the requirements for an in-person quorum, a physical location for public participation, and certain accommodations.

Participating students of the online community college come from all across the state and necessitating travel for these requirements would pose a significant and exclusionary barrier.

SEC. 26. The Legislature finds and declares that adequate public access to meetings is a matter of statewide concern and is not a municipal affair as that term is used in Section 5 of Article XI of the California Constitution.

Therefore, this bill would apply to all cities, including charter cities.

SEC. 27. No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because the only costs 91 — 35 — Ch. 327

that may be incurred by a local agency or school district under this act would result from a legislative mandate that is within the scope of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution.

AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 21.

DATE: May 27, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: NANCY RODRIGUEZ, HR/RISK MANAGER
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 6465 OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MAYWOOD, CALIFORNIA, PROVIDING FOR WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COVERAGE FOR CERTAIN VOLUNTEERS PURSUANT TO 3363.5

OF THE LABOR CODE
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6465 authorizing to provide for workers’ compensation coverage for certain volunteers pursuant to 3363.5 of the labor code.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Maywood currently maintains workers’ compensation coverage through State Fund Workers’ Compensation. However, following the City’s membership with the California Intergovernment Risk Authority (CIRA) during the last fiscal year, the City now has the opportunity to obtain workers’ compensation coverage for Fiscal Year 2026–27 through CIRA’s workers’ compensation program.

California Labor Code Section 3363.5 allows for volunteer workers, authorized by the governing board of a public agency, to perform volunteer services for the public entity and to be treated for workers' compensation purposes like employees of the public entity for the purpose of obtaining workers' compensation coverage. In order for volunteers to be entitled to worker's compensation benefits, the Labor Code requires the adoption of a resolution of the governing board of the public entity declaring volunteers to be deemed employees of the public entity.

The City of Maywood has historically used volunteers for many City events and the number of volunteers has been growing.

DISCUSSION:

Generally, when a volunteer is not covered by Workers’ Compensation, his or her only remedy for an injury is to file a claim against the City and pursue damages through the civil court system. This can result in costly and time-consuming litigation and a significant claim has the potential to adversely impact the City's loss history and, thus, increase future premiums. Importantly, it can also result in unnecessary delays in obtaining competent treatment for an injured volunteer from qualified professionals.

Conversely, if a volunteer is covered under Workers’ Comp, his or her exclusive remedy is through the Workers’ Compensation system, which means that they would receive necessary treatment – but at a controlled cost.

Under Section 3363.5 of the California Labor Code: “….a person who performs voluntary service for a public agency as designated and authorized by the Governing Body of the agency or its designee, shall, upon adoption of a Resolution by the Governing Body of the agency so declaring, be deemed to be an employee for workers' compensation purposes.”
The City Council would need to approve the attached Resolution No. 6465 (Appendix A) pursuant to this Labor Code to extend this coverage at no additional cost to the City under CIRA's Worker's Compensation program.

This policy decision would further the city's efforts to manage its risks and be fiscally responsible to the community.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with this item at this time.

The City is awaiting the final quote from the City's current provider, State Worker's Compensation, to compare the two programs. The adoption of this resolution will allow the city to immediately provide volunteer coverage through either program during the new term beginning July 1st, 2026.

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 22.

DATE: May 27, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: DAISY GUERRERO, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF BUILDING AND PLANNING SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF THE RENEWAL OF A COMMERCIAL CANNABIS RETAIL

LICENSE FOR FIREHOUSE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATED DBA FIREHOUSE 365
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the application for the renewal of a commercial cannabis retail for Firehouse Healthcare Industries, Incorporated dba Firehouse 365 located at 6118 Atlantic Boulevard, for a one-year term expiring on May 12, 2027, and authorize the Director of Building and Planning to notify the applicant in writing of the City Council’s decision.

BACKGROUND:

On August 28, 2019, the Maywood City Council adopted Ordinance 19-03 that changed the status of commercial cannabis uses and businesses in the City. Most significantly, the ordinance banned the issuance of any new commercial cannabis licenses. Applications that were in the process had to have received their license and conditional use permit prior to the effective date of the Ordinance. The adoption of this Ordinance also made any existing commercial cannabis business a non-conforming use subject to the provisions of Section 15.2 of Appendix C of the Zoning Code.

Ordinance 19-03 ("Ordinance") created a process for the renewal of existing licenses. The ordinance details the application renewal process by establishing requirements to determine if an application can be renewed or denied. These requirements must be met to allow the City Council to determine whether a license should be renewed, or if there are grounds for denial as set forth in Section 5-46.05 of the Maywood Municipal Code.

This process requires that the City Council determines if the cannabis entities operate lawfully. The information necessary to make this determination is provided by Hinderliter, de Llamas & Associates (“HdL”). Every year, the business is inspected quarterly to determine if the business is operating in compliance with State law and the City's Ordinance. The inspection also ensures the business operates in a safe manner to protect both employees and customers at each business. Staff accompanies Hdl on these inspections to verify compliance with the approved Conditions of Approval for the Conditional Use Permit. These inspections with their suggested remedial actions help to ensure proper operation prior to license renewal.

As part of this renewal process, HdL conducts criminal background checks on all owners, managers, employees, contractors and volunteers employed in Maywood’s commercial cannabis industry. All who are found to have disqualifying factors will not be permitted to work, own, manage or volunteer for a cannabis business in Maywood. HdL will also conduct a financial audit annually, which includes the verification of the tracking and tracing of the product and of matching the product with its respective transaction. This measure

will detect illegal diversion or the sale of unlicensed (illegal) product, which is central to the verification of the lawful and complete remittance of the local cannabis tax.

DISCUSSION:

Firehouse 365’s Conditional Use Permit was approved on July 22, 2019. Firehouse 365 is a cannabis retailer that obtained their business license in December 2018. All audits and sales tax payments have been made.

Firehouse 365 currently operates as a brick-and-mortar dispensary with a single component; retail. They are licensed by the State of California Bureau of Cannabis Control (license #C10-0000478-LIC) as a Type 10 Retailer, and their license is valid through July 21, 2026.

Renewals per the ordinance are to be renewed annually. The renewal process began last year and is continued throughout the year with quarterly inspections and an annual audit. As a result of the adherence to the regulations, the evaluation of Firehouse's commercial cannabis license renewal application was completed.

Background Check:

Applications for two (2) owners and six (6) employees were submitted and all background checks were subsequently cleared. Firehouse 365 is in full compliance with this requirement.

Facility Inspection:

An inspection conducted by HdL staff determined that the applicant is in compliance with all conditions of approval under the permitted Conditional Use Permit. HdL has conducted several on-site inspections since Firehouse opened, including a virtual inspection during the Covid-19 pandemic. The latest dual inspection was conducted on March 11, 2026, by HdL staff. The HdL inspection revealed that Firehouse fully adheres to the Department of Cannabis Control.

Financial Audit:

Firehouse 365 is current on all audits.

In conclusion, based on the inspections, investigations and audits described in this report, Staff has determined that the business is in compliance and that none of the conditions in Section 5-45-05(b) exist and therefore, staff recommends that the City Council approve the renewal of the license.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Firehouse 365 pays the 8% Cannabis Business Sales Tax (Revenue Account 4212) on a quarterly basis to the City. Taxes collected help support the City and the services provided for the residents.

AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 24.

DATE: May 27, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: DAISY GUERRERO, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF BUILDING AND PLANNING SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF THE RENEWAL OF A COMMERCIAL CANNABIS

MICROBUSINESS LICENSE FOR MAYWOOD L'CHAIM DBA COOKIES
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the application for the commercial cannabis microbusiness license renewal for Maywood L'Chaim ("Cookies"), located at 5815 Maywood Avenue, for a one-year term expiring on May 12, 2027, and authorize the Director of Building and Planning to notify the applicant in writing of the City Council's decision.

BACKGROUND:

On August 28, 2019, the Maywood City Council adopted ordinance 19-03 that changed the status of commercial cannabis uses and businesses in the City. Most significantly, the ordinance banned the issuance of any new commercial cannabis licenses. Applications that were in the process had to have received their license and conditional use permit prior to the effective date of the Ordinance. The adoption of this Ordinance also made any existing commercial cannabis business a non-conforming use subject to the provisions of Section 15.2 of Appendix C of the Zoning Code.

Ordinance 19-03 ("Ordinance") created a process for the renewal of existing licenses. The ordinance details the application renewal process by establishing requirements to determine if an application can be renewed or denied. These requirements must be met to allow the City Council to determine whether a license should be renewed, or if there are grounds for denial as set forth in Section 5-46.05 of the Maywood Municipal Code.

This process requires that the City Council determines if the cannabis entities operate lawfully. The information necessary to make this determination is provided by Hinderliter, de Llamas & Associates (“HdL”). Every year, the business is inspected quarterly to determine if the business is operating in compliance with State law and the City's Ordinances. The inspection also ensures the business operates in a safe manner to protect both employees and customers at each business. Staff accompanies HdL on these inspections to verify compliance with the approved Conditions of Approval for the Conditional Use Permit. These inspections with their suggested remedial actions help to ensure proper operation prior to license renewal.

As part of this renewal process, HdL conducts criminal background checks on all owners, managers, employees, contractors and volunteers employed in Maywood’s commercial cannabis industry. All who are found to have disqualifying factors will not be permitted to work, own, manage or volunteer for a cannabis business in Maywood. HdL has also conducted an annual financial audit, which includes the verification of the tracking and tracing of the product and of matching the product with its respective transaction. This measure will detect illegal diversion or the sale of unlicensed (illegal) product, which is central to the verification of the

lawful and complete remittance of the local cannabis tax.

DISCUSSION:

Cookies’ Conditional Use Permit was approved on August 15, 2017. Cookies is a cannabis microbusiness that obtained their business license in January 2018. All sales tax payments have been made.

Cookies is currently operating as a microbusiness with four components: retail, cultivation, manufacturing and distribution. They are licensed by the State of California Bureau of Cannabis Control (license #C12-0000233- LIC) as a microbusiness, and their license is valid through August 1, 2025.

Renewals per the ordinance are to be renewed annually. The renewal process began last year and is continued throughout the year with quarterly inspections and an annual audit. As a result of the adherence to the regulations, the evaluation of Cookie’s commercial cannabis license renewal application was completed.

Background Check:

Application for two (2) owners and eight (8) employees were submitted and all background checks were subsequently cleared. Cookies is in full compliance with this requirement.

Facility Inspection:

An inspection conducted by HdL staff and determined that the applicant is in compliance with all conditions of approval under the permitted Conditional Use Permit. HdL has conducted several on-site inspections since Cookies opened, including a virtual inspection during the Covid-19 pandemic. The latest dual inspection was conducted on March 11, 2026, by HdL staff. The HdL inspection revealed that Cookies fully adheres to the Department of Cannabis Control.

Financial Audit:

Cookies is current on all audits.

In conclusion, based on the inspections, investigations and audits described in this report, Staff has determined that the business is within compliance and that none of the conditions in Section 5-46.05(b) exist and therefore, staff recommends that the City Council approve the renewal of the license.

LEGAL REVIEW:

City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Cookies pays the 8% Cannabis Business Sales Tax (revenue account 4212) on a quarterly basis to the City.

Taxes collected help support the City and the services provided for the residents.
