AB481 requires, on an annual basis, the police department to seek and obtain City Council approval for future acquisition and funding of new military equipment and provide City Council and the public, a report outlining how the military equipment was used, to ensure the police department is adhering to our policy and the city ordinance.
An annual report has been prepared to share with the City Council, and the general public.

2 INTRODUCTION
On September 30, 2021, the Governor of the State of California approved Assembly Bill 481 (codified as Chapter 12.8 of the California Government Code) requiring law enforcement agencies such as the Oakley Police Department to have a military use policy approved by the City Council prior to requesting, seeking funding, acquiring, or using military equipment. Assembly Bill 481 allows the governing body to approve the policy within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets Specified standards.
On August 9, 2022, the City of Oakley City Council approved Ordinance 10-22, which approved Oakley Police Department Policy #707: Military Equipment.
As required by Assembly Bill 481 and the Ordinance, annually the Oakley Police Department must prepare a report on the use of each type of military equipment approved in the Policy over the last year. Subsequently, the City Council must then review the Ordinance, Policy, and Annual Report, and determine whether the Department’s use of military equipment in the past year complied with the Policy, and whether to continue the Ordinance and Policy, take action (by ordinance) to modify the Policy or repeal the Ordinance.
As set forth in the Policy, the Oakley Police Department retains and employs limited military equipment to safeguard its community. Oakley Police Officers, certified instructional staff, and specialized units receive training throughout the year on the use of military equipment approved under the Policy.
This Annual Report outlines the Oakley Police Department’s military equipment inventory and usage, community complaints over use of military equipment, and internal audits from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. The Oakley Police Department will submit its Military Equipment Annual Report to City Council after December 31st of every year in compliance with AB 481. 190

5 SUMMARY OF OAKLEY POLICE MILITARY
EQUIPMENT
Overview:
In regards to the usage of military equipment, as defined by the California Penal Code, the Oakley Police Department currently only uses patrol rifles (Penal Code 30510 & 30515), 40mm launchers, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV’s) and the support equipment associated with each one of these items.
Specialized Firearms and Ammunition
Authorized Use:
Only members that are POST certified are authorized to use a rifle or 40mm launcher.
Purpose:
Rifles are to be used to address threats with more precision and/or greater distances than a handgun. The rifles have a great degree of accuracy over longer distances than handguns. The rifles are used in tactical and higher risk situations.
The use of rifles is considered deadly force.
40mm launchers can fire several forms of less lethal munitions. The Oakley Police Department only uses the Defense Technologies Exact Impact, kinetic energy round. The Defense Technologies Exact Impact, kinetic energy round is a high speed, lightweight projectile consisting of a plastic body and a crushable foam nose.

13 Community Concerns and Complaints
In some instances, the possession and use of military equipment may cause questions and/or concerns for members of the community. It is vitally important that community members’ questions and/or complaints regarding Oakley Police Department’s possession and use of military equipment are addressed.
The Oakley Police Department is committed to full and fair investigations of community complaints. As such, the Department has sound internal procedures for thorough and impartial investigations of community complaints. Resolving complaints in a fair, impartial, and expeditious manner will ensure the consistent high level of integrity and efficiency maintained by the Department.
In June of 2022, the Oakley Police Department published its Military Equipment policy on its website. Community concerns and complaints can be made via the Department’s tipline- [email protected], in-person at the police department or in the field during police contacts, telephone, emails and social media. 2022 Community Concerns, Complaints & PD Internal Investigations Related to Military Equipment Use

14 Internal Inventory & Audit of Military Equipment
Per Oakley Police Department policy 707.3 (c) the Department’s military equipment coordinator, designated as the Operations Division Commander, is required to complete an internal inventory of all military equipment within the possession of the Department at least once annually. An audit of the inventory and use of military equipment was completed on April 15, 2024 by the Operations Division Commander and staff.
This audit focused on the use of military equipment during critical incidents involving Department personnel. The audit confirmed that Department personnel were found to be in compliance with Policy #707 in the use of military equipment.
All current military equipment inventory was found to be in good shape and working order.
202
15 Projected Military Equipment Acquisition (2024)
For 2024 (January- December), the Oakley Police Department projects the purchase of additional Military Equipment to consist of SIG 516 (AR-15 style), or Mil-Spec equivalent semi-automatic rifles, 5.56x45mm ammunition and Defense Technologies 40mm Exact Impact munitions. For clarification the rifles that were ordered in 2023 were never delivered due to a backlog, so we are carrying that purchasing decision over to 2024.
The Oakley Police Department staffing has grown significantly. By July 2024 it is expected the Oakley Police Department will have 42 sworn officers from the Chief down to the most junior officer. The purchase of the additional semi-automatic rifles is necessary to make sure every sworn officer has a rifle assigned to him/her.
The semi-automatic rifles are equipped with electronic red dot sighting systems.
Red dot sighting systems tend to make target acquisition easier allowing the individual officers to be more proficient when operating the rifle.
The reason we do not use “pool” rifles (smaller number of rifles used by several officers) is because due to each officer has unique and individual human anatomy.
Pool rifles cannot be relied upon to be correctly sighted/aligned for every officer.
In order to make sure the rifles, and the sighting systems, are properly “fitted” to each individual officer we need to assign each officer with his/her own unique rifle.
The estimated purchase price of nine (9) new rifles is $23,436.00. That pricing includes all of the supporting equipment that is needed for a rifle (holographic sights, flashlights, slings, pouches etc…)
I anticipate spending approximately $6,675 on .223 (5.56x45mm) ammunition in 2024. The breakdown of that anticipated ammunition consists of:
• 12,000 rounds of training ammunition
o OPD will increase their training days this year and will expend more training ammunition than in previous years
• 1,000 rounds of duty ammunition
I further anticipate spending approximately $673 on Defense Technologies 40mm Exact Impact munitions (25 rounds).

17 Anticipated “retirement” of Military Equipment
The Oakley Police Department has been deploying several rifles that were assigned to the Oakley Police Department when the City of Oakley contracted police services with the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff. Those rifles were brought online between 2004-2009. It was my intent to replace those rifles during FY2024-2025. With the delay of the purchase of new rifles those rifles will now be “retired” in FY2025-2026. Those rifles number approximately six (6).
Conclusion
This Annual Military Equipment Report reaffirms the Oakley Police Department’s commitment to providing transparency and information to our communities and elected officials in addition to ensuring compliance with California State law. The equipment, resources, and training outlined in this report allow Oakley Police Officers to better serve and protect Oakley, enhance the safety of officers and the community and bring critical incidents to a safe resolution. 205

TO: Joshua McMurray, City Manager
FROM: Derek Cole, City Attorney
SUBJECT: An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Oakley Amending Section 2.1.010 of the Oakley Municipal Code Concerning the Use of Social Media by Members of the City Council
Background and Analysis
At the previous City Council meeting, the Council received a report regarding the adoption of a social media policy for City Council members. In response to the direction provided at the conclusion of this report, a proposed ordinance is attached.
As previously explained, the social media policy under consideration is one that would apply only to City Council members concerning their usage of their private social media accounts. City Administration and Staff and the Police Department already have social media policies that govern the City’s communication on social media through official channels.
As also previously noted, as concerns private Council member usage of social media, the City has very limited ability to enact enforceable policies. This is because the decision of Council members to communicate on private social media accounts belongs to Council members alone, not the City. For First Amendment reasons, the City generally cannot impose rules that forbid Council members from engaging in any type of speech—even if that speech may be perceived as improper or civilly actionable. The First Amendment rarely permits government to impose “prior restraints” on speech.
To the extent the Council could adopt a social media policy for itself, that policy would have to be confined in the manner addressed in the draft ordinance. The ordinance does not state any commands or impose any consequences. Instead, it makes clear that whenever a council member communicates on a social media platform he or she operates:
• His or her communication may be a public record if the communication relates to official City business;
• The communication could become a Brown Act “meeting” if more than one council member engages with the communication in any manner; • Communications about quasi-judicial matters could expose the council member to claims he or she is prejudicially biased against the parties affected by the matters; and
Approved and

O (925) 625-7000 | F (925) 625-9859 | www.CI.Oakley.CA.US • Taking adverse actions against individuals who engage with Council member social media accounts—such as “blocking” or deleting comments—could be construed a violation of First Amendment rights.
Rather than attempt to make the above enforceable through punitive consequences— which, as noted, would likely constitute impermissible “prior constraints”—the draft ordinance states the above points effectively as truisms. The ordinance thus does not impose these points as obligations, but instead requires that they be stated and distributed to each councilmember at the start of any term served (whether or not by election or appointment, and regardless of the number terms served). To this end, every councilmember will be required to receive a copy of the ordinance and reminded of the points before each term he or she serves. In my opinion, this is the most we can do in an effort to “enforce” the points noted.
Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
The proposed action is consistent with the City’s Sustainable Organization Goal.
Fiscal Impact
None.
Staff Recommendation
The City Council is requested to provide consider the introduction of the proposed ordinance.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OAKLEY AMENDING SECTION 2.1.010 OF THE OAKLEY MUNICIPAL CODE CONCERNING THE USE
OF SOCIAL MEDIA BY MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OAKLEY DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Oakley Municipal Code section 2.1.010 is added as follows:
Section 2.1.010 Use of Social Media
a. It is the practice of members of the City Council to use personal social media, which is any digital platform that allows members to create and share information with other users or audiences.
b. When members of the City Council use their personal social media to discuss City matters, their social media communications may be considered public records subject to public disclosure under the California Public Records Act (California Government Code section 7920 et seq.) or other applicable law. c. When members of the City Council use their personal social media and interact in any manner with other members, their social media communications may be subject to open meeting laws, including the Ralph M. Brown Act (California Government Code section 54950 et seq.).
d. When members of the City Council use their personal social media to discuss any quasi-judicial matters that may or do come before the City Council, their social media communications could reasonably be construed as evidence of bias, prejudgment, or personal interest.
e. If Members of the City Council use publicly accessible personal social media to communicate regarding City business, they may be creating a limited public forum subject to First Amendment speech protections. If such a forum is created, a member taking action, such as removing individual comments or blocking individuals from commenting, may violate those individuals’ First Amendment rights. (Lindke v. Freed, United States Supreme Court Case No. 22-611, decided March 15, 2024.)
f. Members of the City Council shall refrain from using any City-owned or issued devices to use or maintain their private social media accounts. g. Members of the City Council shall be provided a written copy of this section at the beginning of any term they serve or fill, following their election, reelection, or appointment, which copy shall be provided no later than the date of the first regular meeting of their term.
212
Ordinance No. XX-24 Page 2 of 2
SECTION 2. CEQA FINDING.
The City Council determines that the provisions of this ordinance are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because the instant ordinance involves continuing administrative activities and thus is not a project, as CEQA defines, pursuant to Section 15378(b)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines. To the extent the adoption of this Ordinance constitutes a project, the City Council finds pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15061(b)(3) that the project is exempt from environmental review because it can be seen with certainty that the adoption of the ordinance would not have any significant impact on the environment.
SECTION 3. SEVERABILITY.
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, the holding shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions, and the City Council declares that it would have adopted each provision of this ordinance irrespective of the validity of any other provision.
SECTION 4. EFFECTIVE DATE.
This Ordinance shall become effective thirty (30) days after adoption.
SECTION 5. PUBLICATION.
The City Clerk shall certify to the passage of this Ordinance and shall cause this Ordinance or a summary thereof to be printed once within fifteen (15) days after its adoption in a newspaper of general circulation, published and circulated in the City of Oakley.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Oakley this 14th day of May, 2024 by the following vote:

Subject: Bill Analysis: AB 1657 (Wicks)
AB 1657 (Wicks) The Affordable Housing Bond Act of 2024.
Bill Information
The official text of AB 1657 can be found here.
Summary
AB 1657 would enact the Affordable Housing Bond Act of 2024, which authorizes the sale of $10 billion in general obligation bonds, upon approval by voters at an undetermined statewide election.
The measure contains an urgency clause, giving it immediate effect if enacted. If approved, the measure directs proceeds of bonds to the following programs:
• $5.25 billion deposited in the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Fund to be used for the Multifamily Housing Program (MHP). At least 10% of assisted units in each development receiving funding must be available for extremely low-income households. • $1.75 billion to be deposited in the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Fund to be used for supportive housing administered through the MHP program. The measure requires HCD to offer capitalized operating subsidy reserves for supportive housing developments receiving funding.
• $1.5 billion to be appropriated by the Legislature to preserve or rehabilitate existing subsidized or unsubsidized rental housing through the following programs: the Portfolio Reinvestment Program, the Energy Efficiency Low-Income Weatherization Program, and a program to be created by the Legislature and administered by HCD that funds acquisition and rehabilitation of unrestricted housing units and attaches long-term affordability restrictions to the units.
• $1 billion to be appropriated by the Legislature to provide homeownership opportunities through the CalHOME Program, which provide grants to local public agencies and nonprofit developers to assist individuals and households through deferred-payment loans; and the My Home down payment assistance program administered by CalHFA. 220
2 • $500 million to be appropriated by the Legislature for the Joe Serna, Jr. Farmworker Housing (Serna) Program and a dedicated program to be created by the Legislature, administered by HCD, and designed for, and in consultation with, tribes to finance housing and housing-related activities that will enable tribes to rebuild and reconstitute their communities.
AB 1657 provides the Legislature can amend any law related to programs funded by the bond for purposes of improving their efficiency and effectiveness of those programs. The bill also allows HCD to disburse any funds made available to housing development projects by the bill during the construction period.
Background
Prior to 1974, the federal government invested heavily in affordable housing construction. When those units began to deteriorate, the Housing Community and Development Act ended most new construction of public housing and the Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8) was created in its place. This new program allowed eligible tenants to pay only a portion of their rent (based on their income) and shifted funds from public housing authorities to the private sector. The goal was to eliminate concentrations of low-income people in housing developments. In 1981, the Reagan Administration dismantled federal affordable housing funding. From 1978 to 1983, the funding for low- to moderate-income housing decreased by 77%. In 1970, there were 300,000 more low-cost rental units (6.5 million) than low-income renter households (6.2 million). By 1985, however, the number of low-cost units had fallen to 5.6 million, and the number of low-income renter households had grown to 8.9 million, a disparity of 3.3 million units. Federal investments have not gone back up to pre-1978 levels.
At the state level, California has invested significantly in affordable housing construction and rehabilitation in recent years through the passage of one-time discretionary actions in the budget and the passage of voter-approved bonds.
Only in the last few years have the Legislature and Governor allocated General Fund dollars to affordable housing programs. Beginning in 2019, an unprecedented $8 billion from the General Fund has gone to a variety of affordable housing programs. Additionally, the Veterans and Affordable Housing Bond Act of 2018 (Proposition 1), authorized $3 billion to fund state affordable housing programs and $1 billion for the CalVet program, which provides mortgages to veterans.
All of the funding from the bond will be fully allocated by the end of 2023. Proposition 2 of 2018 authorized the state to issue $2 billion in General Obligations bonds against revenues from the Mental Health Services Act for purposes of funding the No Place Like Home Program (NPLH) NPLH. Those funds supported the construction of over 7,000 supportive housing units and the funds are now exhausted.
These investments, while critical, have not made up for decades of disinvestment at the federal level. Lawmakers argue that significant ongoing investments are necessary to meet the current undersupply of housing affordable to lower-income families.
Status
AB 1657 was introduced in February of 2023, among a host of other proposed statewide bond measures addressing funding issues related to climate resiliency, school facilities, and housing affordability. The bill progressed through the first house policy committee, Appropriations Committee, and Assembly Floor before being held in the Senate Appropriations Committee. 221
3 The Legislature will have until June 27, 2024 to decide the fate of this bond proposal and allow its passage onto the November ballot in order to meet deadlines associated with its printing and distribution from the Secretary of State.
Support
According to the author, “We cannot take our foot off the gas when it comes to our state’s affordable housing investments. Now is the time to double down on our commitment to solving California’s housing shortage. Even in a tight fiscal climate, the staggering need demands that we treat the crisis with the urgency it deserves. The Affordable Housing Bond Act of 2024 needs to be a priority among any bonds issued in the next year.” Entities in Support of AB 1657 include:

Subject: Bill Analysis: AB 1033 (Ting)
AB 1033 (Ting) Accessory dwelling units: local ordinances: separate sale or conveyance.
Bill Information
The official text of AB 1033 can be found here.
Summary
AB 1033 allows cities and counties that have a local accessory dwelling unit (ADU) ordinance to allow ADUs to be sold separately or conveyed from the primary residence as condominiums.
Specifically, AB 1033:
• Authorizes a local agency to adopt a local ordinance to allow the separate conveyance of the primary dwelling unit and ADU or ADUs as condominiums. Provides that any such ordinance must include all of the following requirements:
• The condominiums must be created pursuant to the Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act.
• The condominiums must be created in conformance with all applicable objective requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and all objective requirements of a local subdivision ordinance.
• Before recordation of the condominium map, a safety inspection of the ADU must be conducted as evidenced either through a certificate of occupancy from the local agency or a housing quality standards report from a building inspector certified by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.
• Prior to the recordation of the condominium map, that written evidence of each lienholders consent, as specified, be provided to the county recorder. • The county recorder must record each lienholder's consent. 224
2 • Local agencies must include a notice to consumers outlining the requirements specified in d) and e) in any ADU submittal checklist, building permit approval, condominium map approval, or other information describing the requirements and approval process for an ADU.
• If an ADU is established as a condominium, the local government must require the homeowner to notify providers of utilities, including water, sewer, gas, and electricity, of the condominium creation and separate conveyance.
• Allows a local agency, special district, or water corporation to require an applicant to install a new or separate utility connection directly between the ADU and the utility or impose a related connection fee or capacity charge, upon separate conveyance of the ADU. • Provides that an ADU must only be separately conveyed pursuant to these requirements or pursuant to the provisions for property built or developed by a qualified nonprofit corporation.
Background
California’s high — and rising — land costs necessitate dense housing construction for a project to be financially viable and for the housing to ultimately be affordable to lower-income households.
Yet, recent trends in California show that new housing has not commensurately increased in density. In a 2016 analysis, the Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) found that the housing density of a typical neighborhood in California’s coastal metropolitan areas increased only by four percent during the 2000s. In addition, the pattern of development in California has changed in ways that limit new housing opportunities. A 2016 analysis by BuildZoom found that new development has shifted from moderate but widespread density to pockets of high-density housing near downtown cores surrounded by vast swaths of low-density single-family housing. Specifically, construction of moderately-dense housing (two to 49 units) in California peaked in the 1960s and 1970s and has slowed in recent decades.
Recently, there has been a national trend to allow for more "gentle density" (e.g., ADUs, duplexes, four-plexes, townhomes, and other moderately dense developments that were common before the imposition of zoning). In recent years, the Legislature has taken a more active role in facilitating such gentle density. In 2016, AB 2299 (Bloom, Chapter 735, Statutes of 2016) and SB 1069 (Wieckowski Chapter 720, Statutes of 2016), permitted ADUs by right on all residentiallyzoned parcels in the state. By permitting an ADU as a second unit on all single-family lots, these laws effectively doubled their allowed density.
Prior to the Legislature requiring ministerial approval of ADUs in 2017, ADUs were less than one percent of permitted new construction. Now they are approximately 10%, at over 9,600 completed units in 2022. Additionally, because ADUs are typically smaller than the average home in a community, they tend to be more affordable than other market-rate units. A survey of ADU owners found that, in the Bay Area, ADUs rents were affordable to households making the median income.
Status
AB 1033 was chaptered into law during the 2023 Legislative Session and became effective January 1, 2024.

3 According to the author, “The lack of home ownership opportunities in most California communities for working families is contributing to the State’s growing population of renters and driving families out of state so that they can buy a home. Many neighborhoods have become defacto gated communities, with median home prices of $700K to $1M keeping out all but a small percentage of Californians from ever dreaming of home ownership, reducing the state’s population and harming our economy. The absence of available homes for purchase at rates affordable to moderate-income working families bars wealth-building and housing stability for Californians harmed by historic discriminatory housing policies. By repealing the current law prohibiting the separate conveyance of ADUs, AB 1033 allows cities and counties the freedom to pursue homeownership programs and to create a path to wealth-building for families.” Entities in Support of AB 1033 include:
