DEPARTMENT: Community Development -
Planning
REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
City Council to consider approval of the final map of Tract No. 6433 and authorizing a subdivision improvement agreement with Adobe West, Inc.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopts Resolution No. 2023-XX, approving the final map of Tract No. 6433, accepting all rights-of-way and other public dedications indicated thereon, and approving the subdivision agreement, development impact fees, and security amounts.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council approved Vesting Tentative Map (VT) No. 6356 on August 19, 2021.
The project comprises approximately 60.00 acres subdivided into 311 single-family lots with a minimum size of 5,000 square feet. The property is located at the southwest corner of S. Mendocino Avenue and E. South Avenue.
Tentative maps have an initial life of 24 months, so VTM No. 6356 was valid through August 19, 2023 upon its approval (see below for additional information about expiration).
Prior to expiration of a tentative map, a final map may be filed, approved, and recorded consistent with the provisions of the approved tentative map. The subdivider has previously filed a final map of Tract No. 6356; that map recorded on September 16, 2022.
With the filing of that map, which was responsible for financing or installing substantial offsite infrastructure, the tentative map received a 48-month extension through August 19, 2027. The subdivider has now filed a second final map, Tract No. 6433.
PROPOSAL, DISCUSSION, & ANALYSIS:
Pursuant to Government Code (GC) Section 66454.1, the subdivider, Adobe West, Inc. has submitted a final map (Tract No. 6433) covering approximately 5.23 acres of the approved 60.00-acre tentative map. The final map includes 30 single-family lots and accounts for installation of local streets, curb, gutter, sidewalk, streetlights, and underground utilities.
To account for the improvements that have yet to be completed, the City has prepared a subdivision agreement dictating timelines for installation of the required infrastructure, providing for payment of development impact fees, and establishing the required security to ensure timely completion of the project.
Government Code Section 66452.6(a) provides that if a subdivider is required to expend two hundred thirty-six thousand seven hundred ninety dollars ($236,790) or more to construct, improve, or finance the construction or improvement of public improvements outside the property boundaries of the tentative map (annually increased by operation of law according to the adjustment for inflation set forth in the statewide cost index for class B construction, as determined by the State Allocation Board), each filing of a final map shall extend the expiration of the approved tentative map by 48 months. This phased final map does not meet the offsite improvement threshold to qualify for an additional automatic extension.
The project will install enhanced open space with a value greater than its expected City Parks Impact Fee and is therefore not responsible for payment of that fee. Similarly, the project is subject to the standalone Tract 5607 Storm Drain Reimbursement Agreement, and therefore will not pay the standard City Storm Drainage Impact Fee.
Environmental
Approval of a final map is ministerial in nature, meaning that it does not involve exercise of discretion or judgment during consideration. The Council is required to approve the final map if it substantially conforms to the approved tentative map and is required to deny the final map if it does not substantially conform (Government Code (GC) Section 66474.1). Ministerial projects, expressly including approval of final maps, are exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA Guidelines Section 15268(b)(3)).
Public Notice
No public notice is required for approval of a final map.
Findings
The City Engineer has reviewed the final map and improvement plans, and makes the following determinations:
1. He has reviewed the map.
2. The subdivision as shown is substantially the same as it appeared on the tentative
3. The subdivider has complied with all provisions of Chapter 2 of the Subdivision Map Act (commencing with GC Section 66425) and all local ordinances in effect at the time of tentative map approval.
4. He is satisfied that the map is technically correct.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Any costs associated with review, processing, and recordation of the final map are pass- through costs that are paid by the project proponent. Development impact fees, discussed above and less any amount credited for offsite construction, would be collected to fund City capital improvements.

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: Resolution Adopting a list of projects for Fiscal Year 23/24 funded by SB 1:
The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider Resolution 2023-26 adopting a List of Projects for Fiscal Year 23/24 Funded by SB 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 BACKGROUND: SB 1 dedicated approximately $1.5 billion per year in new formula revenues apportioned by the State Controller (Controller) to cities and counties for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on the local streets and roads system.
To be eligible to receive funding from the Controller, each year, cities and counties must submit a proposed project list adopted at a regular meeting by their board or council that is then submitted to the California Transportation Commission (Commission). Once reviewed and adopted by the Commission, the list of eligible cities and counties to receive funding is sent to the Controller to begin the apportionment process for that fiscal year.
In an effort to promote accountability and transparency in accordance with SB 1, the proposed project lists submitted by the cities and counties for funding eligibility are published on both this webpage and the Rebuilding California website. SB 1 created new funding that is available to cities and counties for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects. As a result of this new revenue, communities can anticipate seeing more potholes filled, pavement repaired, lanes restriped, and crosswalks and sidewalks brought up to code.
Funding from SB 1 will help the City maintain and rehabilitate 10 roads throughout the City by adding crack seal into newly slurried roads, and partially fund the grinding and overlay of Manning Ave this year.
The following list of newly proposed projects will be funded in-part or solely with Fiscal Year 2023-24 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account revenues:
Project Title: Manning Ave Rehabilitation
Project Description: Manning Ave Rehabilitation project will install medians on Manning Avenue and grind and overlay the existing pavement from Zediker to Academy.
Project Location: On Manning Avenue from Zediker Avenue to Academy Avenue.
Estimated Project Schedule: Start (07/23)- Completion (11/23) based on the component being funded with RMRA funds
Estimated Project Useful Life: 45 years
Project Title: Citywide Crack Sealing
Project Description: Crack sealing will be installed in all newly slurried roads to help preserve the road for longer period of time, preventing intrusion of winter storms into the pavement underlay which create future potholes.
Project Location: Citywide within the City of Parlier.
Estimated Project Schedule: Start (08/23)- Completion (08/23) based on the component being funded with RMRA funds
Estimated Project Useful Life: 7 years
FISCAL IMPACT: The City will receive an estimated $312,000 in Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account funding in Fiscal Year 2023-24 from SB 1.

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
City Council to consider a cannabis regulatory permit for Element 7 Parlier LLC RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council considers Resolution No. 2023-XX, making a finding of exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act and approving a Cannabis Regulatory Permit for Element 7 Parlier LLC.
BACKGROUND:
On November 15, 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2017-03, the Cannabis Control Ordinance, putting in place the standards by which commercial cannabis operations would be regulated. The City Council has since adopted additional changes to its cannabis control ordinance to authorize delivery and allow for dispensaries. On September 1, 2022, the City Council amended the ordinance to allow for up to two dispensaries within the city limits. It was noted then that the Cannabis Control Ordinance already accommodates dispensaries in the M-1 zone, which allows: "Commercial cannabis activities subject to the provisions of Chapter 18.55." Under the umbrella of "commercial cannabis activities," dispensaries (along with all other permissible cannabis activities) are already allowed in the M-1 zone so long as the Council approves a regulatory permit. The City Council approved a disposition and development agreement with the applicant on November 23, 2022, detailing many of the financial provisions of the operation. The applicant submitted a formal application for a cannabis regulatory permit on April 25, 2023.
Owner:
Applicant: Element 7 Parlier LLC (Robert M. DiVito)
Location: East side of S. Academy Avenue approximately 1,000 feet south of E. Manning Avenue: no address
Portions of APNs 358-390-65 & 66
See attached maps and photo
Site Size: 1.74 acres
M-1, Industrial
General Plan: Light Industrial
Existing Use:
Surrounding Uses: North - Vacant; M-1, C-3
East - Vacant, basin, industrial park; M-1
South - Vacant; M-1
West - Cannabis cultivation; M-1
Street Access: S. Academy Avenue
PROPOSAL & DISCUSSION:
Element 7 has applied for a i regulatory permit authorizing operation of a cannabis dispensary, including delivery,' within a proposed 2,610-square-foot building. The operation would comply with all provisions of the Medicinal and Adult Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act ("MAUCRSA") and City of Parlier Municipal Code Chapter
18.55 (Cannabis Control Ordinance).
The 1.74-acre project site consists of portions of APNs 358-390-65 and 66; the City Engineer's office has approved a lot line adjustment to reconfigure the existing parcel lines to conform to the project site, but as of this writing the applicant has not recorded the necessary deeds to reconfigure the lot lines. The remaining unused area of the adjusted parcels may be used for a future expansion of the commercial cannabis operation. Any such expansion, whether within the project site or outside of it, would be subject to consideration by the City Council at a noticed public hearing.
The facility proposes to operate seven days per week from 8am until 10pm, with staff onsite before and after those hours for maintenance, housekeeping, accounting, etc. The operational statement indicates that between 5 and 7 employees would be working at any given time, including management, inventory, packaging/dispatch, and delivery staff, plus a 24-hour security guard.
The applicant has provided a draft Security Plan (attached), which has been forwarded to the Chief of Police for review. All employees, including corporate or executive employees, will be subject to issuance of a permit from the Chief of Police following his investigation of their credentials and background. Access to buildings will be via electronic access cards with access restricted based upon employee type. Personal access codes will be unique to each user and their use will be audited daily.
No one under the age of 21 will be allowed within the premises. Video monitoring and recording equipment will comply with the provisions of the Cannabis Control Ordinance. upon any failure of the video system, the Facility Security Director will be electronically notified. The security system will include battery backup to support up to a 24-hour loss of power.
SITE PLAN:
The site plan indicates the 2,610-SF structure at the north-central area of the site with parking (43 total spaces) to both the south and west of the building. It shows two drive approaches: one approximately central to the S. Academy Avenue frontage and the other at the south property line. The site plan shows sidewalk, curb, gutter, and landscaping along S. Academy Avenue. However, the proposed site configuration does not accommodate the planned shared drive approach that is intended to straddle the northern property line, nor does it show a northbound deceleration lane for that drive approach or 1 Together, these activities are covered by the Department of Cannabis Control Type 10 Storefront Retailer License.
any points) of connection for utilities. The proposed site layout will need to be reconfigured, including relocation of the proposed building and parking areas, and realignment of the existing curb and gutter to accommodate the deceleration lane.
The project will connect to the City water system via the existing 12-inch main in S.
Academy Avenue. The City is currently designing an extension of the 8-inch sewer line in E. Progress Drive to the north. This project will connect to that extension and will be responsible for payment of a fair share of the cost of the extension. The site will drain to the existing basin in the industrial park to the east; it will be responsible for excavating the basin accordingly and installing conveyance infrastructure. Nuisance water will be retained onsite. No fencing is indicated on the site plan; the conditions of approval include stock language regarding fencing that may be modified to suit the project.
Many of the notes on the site plan refer to other agencies and agency standards and will need to be updated.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
This proposal qualifies as a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it involves issuance by a public agency to a person of a "lease, permit, license, certificate, or other entitlement for use" as described in CEQA Guidelines Section Because the project consists of a retail operation within a 2,610-SF building, it can be found to be exempt from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines Section 15303, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. This exemption can apply to "a store...or similar structure not involving the use of significant amounts of hazardous substances, and not exceeding 2,500 square feet in floor area. In urbanized areas, the exemption also applies to up to four such commercial buildings not exceeding 10,000 square feet in floor area on sites zoned for such use, it not involving the use of significant amounts of hazardous substances where all necessary services and facilities are available and the surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive." Parlier is designated as an urbanized area by the U.S. Census Bureau. Further, in Fairbank v. City of Mill Valley, the First District Court of Appeal established that Section 15303 can apply to one, two, three, or four buildings so long as the combined area of the buildings does not exceed 10,000 SF.
CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 contains a series of exceptions to the use of the certain exemptions for a particular project, including an exemption under Section 15303:
a. Location. A project that may impact an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern where designated, precisely mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agency. No such resource exists on or near the project site.
b. Cumulative impact. Such exemptions do not apply when there are significant cumulative impacts from successive projects of the same type in the same place over time. There is currently one dispensary operating in Parlier, approximately 1.4 miles to the northeast of the project site. Since the City's ordinance allows a maximum of two dispensaries, there is little likelihood of any significant effect from additional dispensaries.
c. Significant effect. Exemptions do not apply where there is a reasonable possibility that significant effects may arise due to unusual circumstances. Staff is not aware of any unusual circumstances surrounding the site, the proposed use, or any other matter that could result in a significant effect.
d. Scenic Highways. Exemptions cannot be used if a project could damage a scenic highway. The nearest designated and eligible scenic highway segments are approximately 12 miles to the northeast.?
e. Hazardous waste sites. Exemptions do not apply to projects on sites included on any list compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 15300.2. The site is not on any such list.3
f. Historical resources. A project cannot be exempt if it may cause a substantial adverse change to an historical resource. The site has historically been used for agriculture. There are no known resources on the site.
Since the project falls within the criteria of the exemption and does not meet any of the exceptions, the project may be found exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15303.
PUBLIC NOTICE:
A notice of public hearing was published in the June 5, 2023 edition of The Business Journal. Notices were also mailed to owners of property within 300 feet of the project site and posted at City Hall and on the City's website.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If the City Council approves the cannabis regulatory permit, it could result in an unspecified amount of additional revenue resulting from the revenue-raising fees associated with the operation of the dispensary. When the site plan is approved, the project will also be responsible for payment development impact fees based on the size of the development area, the size of the building, and the number of employees. As mentioned, the project will pay a fair-share cost of the E. Progress Drive sewer extension.

Introduction
This plan has been developed by GS Security Services, a licensed security company with expertise in the cannabis industry. The plan has been designed to meet the requirements of the Department of Cannabis Control (CCR Title 16, Division 42, Section 5006) and all requirements set by the City of Parlier.
Element 7 takes a comprehensive approach towards security and site safety for the health, welfare, and safety of our customers, patients, staff, and partners. We deploy four approaches in our plans that prevent the diversion, theft, and loss of cannabis products and currency, as well as deter other related criminal activity that could harm our employees, customers and negatively affect the surrounding communities.
The first and most obvious approach that is deployed is the mechanical approach. This covers security surveillance equipment, lighting, industrial grade doors and locks, perimeter fencing, and a range of other hardware solutions. The technological approach includes all security measures involving tachnology, data and surveillance and alarm systems, such as electronic access systems, secure and permission-authorized POS systems, after-hour security systems, panic, duress and hold-up alarms, web-based access to live security surveillance, cybersecurity measures that include Virtual Private Networks, Malware and Anti-Virus applications, data encryption and cloud-based storage, failure notification systoms, back-up power systems, secure communications, motion and glass break detectors. A dynamic human element is covered in the physical approach which Involves trained and licensed security officers; 24/7 alarm and security surveillance. monitoring, roving inspections, bag inspections, company-issued uniforms and personal item carriers, tiered-authorized access controls and Employee IDs. The fourth and final approach, which is Education based, supports the physical approach by ensuring that employees, security officers, managers and owners are trained and educated in a manner that allows them to maintain the security and safety of the facility, the customers, surrounding communities and themselves.
Employees, security officers, managers and owners will receive comprehensive security training on how to manage hold-ups, burglaries, violence in the workplace, emergency situations such as fires, earthquakes and power outages, bomb threats, active shooters, Milerato inseage is requested to be exempt from disclosure under FOLA berause it contains critical Infrustracture information, highly confidential securtly information and trade secrets.
ELEMENT 7: SECURITY PLAN
FEMA training, OSHA training and how to create and report incidents to management, the Police Chief and the Department.
Bringing the four approaches together to create a dynamic, versatile, and effective security plan also means engaging the services of trained, licensed and experienced professionals to provide the manpower, training, and continued guidance in the implementation and further development of our security plan.

3. Operational Security Procedures
Security Access Control: General and Visitors
The entire facility consists of limited access areas, which are areas where customers will be allowed under supervision of an employee; and restricted access areas, which are areas that are only accessible to autorized personnel with specific permissions (restricted rooms must be accessed with a RFID card and our HIK camera system has a second verlfication system that ensures only authorized persons access these rooms and do not 'share' cards).
Restricted Access Areas will be identified by signage of no less than 12 inches by 12 inches, indicating: "Do Not Enter - Restricted Access Area - Authorized Personnel Only'". The sign will utllize lettering with a font size no less than 1 Inch in height (as shown above). We define rooms as either Limited Access or Restricted Access:

Employees will be designated a Level of Access based on their job scope, fitle, and responsibilities. They will then be assigned a personalized security pass (with name, photo and Access Level boldly displayed) for movement within the Facility. Every employee will be trained on Element 7's strict "anti-piggybacking" rules and procedures which preverit unauthorized persons accessing areas within the Facility that they are not approved for.
Anybody caught in an Access Level beyond their assigned level will be Immedlately taken to consequences of such security breach. Any serious breaches could result in immediate suspension and up to termination of the employee from the Facility. All security passes given to employees must be returned to the on-site security guard prior to exiting the facility.
Retall Facility Access
The front of the retail facility will have a Lobby which will be manned by a Receptionist and Security Guard during all hours of operation. Receptionists facilitate age and identity verification, as well as new patient and customer intake. All persons must present their ID Card and sign-in to the Facility at this point. Any persons without a valid ID Card will be asked to leave the facility immediately.
The lobby area shall be secured and within view of the receptionist with doors configured for remote release by using a card reader located on the underside of the reception desk. The receptionists) will use this card reader to remotely release the doors as required, allowing entry to visitors, If multiple doors require remote release, each door must have a separate card reader on the underside of the desk, configured for remote door release of the corresponding door. Individual remote door release card readers must be spaced a sufficient distance from one another to prevent accidental release of an unintended door.
Lobby doors and interior doors to secured space and sales space must not suffer unintentional unlocking or alarm shunting due to pedestrian traffic. A request to exit (REX) motion detector will not be utilized to unlock these doors.
Customer accessible limited access areas are controlled via buzz-in features on doors leading into those limited access areas (such doors will have reinforced glass viewing panels). The security officer in the reception area is the authorized agent who will manage access to these areas, via buzz-in door features. Lobby doors shall have an electrified / magnetized locking hardware as per the direction of the Supplemental Security Requirements.
Cannabis or cannabls product will not be stored, kept, or otherwise, accessed from outside the bullding. Loading and unloading of cannabis or cannabis products is allowed during business operating hours only and must be completed at the side of the building. All cannabis present or kept at the premises will be securely stored against both unauthorized access as well as theft.

Limited Access Areas Pollcies
Element 7 will ensure that any person on the business premises, except for employees and contractors of Element 7 are always escorted by at least one employee of the licensee when In the limited-access areas of the premises.
Element 7 will establish limited-access areas and permit only authorized individuals to enter the limited-access areas. An example of the type of signage used by Element 7 is demonstrated below.
Authorized individuals include employees as well as any outside vendors, contractors, or other individuals conducting business that requires access to the limited-access area.
An individual who enters the limited-access areas will be at least 21 years of age.
Element 7 will maintan a log of all authorized individuals who are not employees that enter the limited-access area. These logs will be made avallable to licensing authorities upon request.
Element 7 will not receive consideration or compensation for permitting an individual to enter the limited-access area.
Access Controls
The overall design of the security plan is based on Levels of Access designation, with levels assigned to each person and situation, setting the basis for control and access. This system provides the following benefits:
Assists in outlining access rights to be administered and monitored; When combined with rules and policies it delineates clarity for purposes of compliance and enforcement; and
System allows for training of employees and staff with ease of operation assisting with enforcement.
To ensure that accurate and reliable logs of access to restricted areas are monitored and recorded, the facility will be installed with an electronic access system. This system requires dual factor authentication via Company-issued access cards and facial recognition software.
Passwords are sufficient in maintaining an effective dual factor authentication process but can be easily stolen or retrieved by unauthorized individuals. Facial recognition reduces the chances of replicating an individual's facial features and provides a more robust security measure that is more difficult to circumvent.
Electronic Access Systems record information pertaining to the access of areas controlled by its system (Brivo). This means that we will be able to identify which employees access certain limited and restricted access areas, the time and date they accessed the area and how much time was spent in that particular area. This system complies with current regulatory requirements and ensures accurate and reliable reporting.
Visitor Control
We permit visitors into our facilities on the condition that their visit is pre-approved by the General Manager, Chiefs of Retail, Security or Compliance, or owners. To ensure the security of our facility, our customers and the visitor, we deploy integrated visitor management, that utilizes U.S. Military grade technology. Our Integrated Visitor Management system features:
Real time monitoring and management of audio and video verification systems Managed access control and on-line visitor management

Visitor Badge Access
In the event Element 7 allows any outside vendor, state inspectors, contractor, or visitor (collectively, "Visitor") to access the facilty, each visitor must have written authorization from a Type I Badge/Cardholder or the appropriate state/local authority prior to entering the facility.
/sitors who have been authorized, in writing, to enter the facility by the appropriat state/local authority must obtain a visitor identification badge from an Element 7 security team member prior to entering the facility. To obtain a visitor ID badge, the visitor must be present and provide a valid proof of identification and state the purpose of the visit. The security guard will maintain a visitor log (mentioned above), which will include the name of the visitor, date, time and purpose of the visit. This log will be available to the BCC, CDPH, CDFA and/or local authorities at all times during operating hours and upon request.
A facility employee will escort and monitor the visitor at all times while the visitor is in the facility. The visitor identification badge will be visible at all times. Element 7 requires visitors to return the identification badge to an Element 7 employee and sign-out at the visitor klosk upon exiting the facility.
Inventory Control
Ensuring that cannabis products are handled and transported throughout the facility in a secure manner facilitates in the prevention of diversion, loss and theft of cannabis products.
This Includes providing secure, sanitary and sufficient product storage, as well as equipment designed to maintain the integrity and security of cannabis products while being transported within the facility.
Authorized employees with access to the secure product storage area will be required to utilize Stash, the accompanying TREEZ Inventory Retall application, which documents the movement of cannabis products throughout the facllity. Company-Issued handheld electronic devices with scanners will be provided to these employees so that reporting in real-time is developed as standard practice.
Cannabis products will be transported throughout the facility using a locked, wheeled, metal repository into which larger volumes of products can be moved through the Facility (and its various levels of security) between the secure product storage area and any other area within the Facility.
These devices ensure that products do not go missing while being transported. Keys for these transportation devices will be issued to specific employees for the duration of the facility's hours of operation and must be surrendered prior to closing.
Product Security
Access to cannabis products within the facility will be limited to employees whose roles require them to transport, manage, handle or inspect cannabis products. Internal policies require that at least two (2) authorized employees are present when cannabis products are being fransported, handled and prepared for release to customers at all times.

break-rooms, restrooms and locker rooms will remain separate, restricted access areas where cannabls products will not be allowed.
Product Security and Handling Best Practices
* Element 7 will limit the access of employees within the business premises to those areas necessary to complete job duties.
• At least two (2) employees will be present whenever cannabis is present or being handled; when possible, one employee will be the supervisor of the other.
Element 7 will not store cannabis outdoors.
Employee break-rooms, changing faclities, and bathrooms will be separated from any and all cannabis storage areas.
• All bathroom facilities will remain locked and under the control of management. • No personal bags, purses, backpacks, or items that can be used to conceal cannabls or cannabis goods will be allowed in any area where cannabis or cannabis goods are present.
• Element 7 will dispose of cannabis waste in a secured waste receptacle or in a secured area on the licensed premises. Public access to the designated receptacle or area is prohibited.
• Element 7 will secure and back up electronic records in a manner that prevents unauthorized access and that ensures the Integrity of the records is maintained.
The Facility will have a strict storage process and policy to prevent the diversion and theft of cannabis. All processed and packaged products will be immediately bar coded and moved to the locked Storage Room that will have four (4) central storage areas - ambient storage room, cola storage room, storage vault, and quarantine room. Access to all rooms will be strictly limited and implemented in line with the Facllity's 'Level of Access' policy, Staff will only be able to access certain areas within the bullding based on their approved security access status.

Inventory Reconciliation
Close attention to Inventory is tantamount to Element 7's successful and compliant operations. As a licensed dispensary, Element 7 will be the last point in the chain-of-custody and must ensure that all inventory is accurately represented and reported, To ensure strict compliance with local and state regulations, Element 7 has developed a comprehensive inventory management plan that consists of the following:
Element 7 will reconcile all the Inventories of cannabis goods at least once every 14 days.
2. It Element 7 finds a discrepancy between the inventory of stock and the inventory log or track and trace system that is outside of normal weight loss caused by moisture loss, Element 7 will commence a full audit of the batch in which the discrepancy was found.
3. Element 7 will notify licensing authorities and local law enforcement within 24 hours of discovery of a significant discrepancy. A significant discrepancy In inventory means a difference in actual inventory compared to records pertaining to inventory of at least $1,000 or 1 percent (1%) of the average monthly sales of the licensee, whichever is less.
Element 7 will notify the licensing authority and local law enforcement within 24 hours of discovery of any of the following situations:
- Element 7 discovers a significant discrepancy in its inventory. - Element 7 becomes aware of or has reason to suspect diversion, theft, loss, or any other criminal activity pertaining to the operations of the licensee. - Element 7 becomes aware of or has reason to suspect diversion, theft, loss, or any other criminal activity by an agent or employee of the licensee pertaining to the operations of the licensee.
- Element 7 becomes aware of or has reason to suspect the loss or unauthorized alteration of records related to cannabis goods, customers, or the licensee's - Element 7 becomes aware of, or has reason to suspect, any other breach of security.
Cash Handling Procedures
Element 7 secured banking relationships with two FDIC Regulated Banks in 2020. Less than 1% of California's cannabis industry has permitted access to FDIC Regulated Banks which we see as a huge competitive advantage - under these relationships Element 7 may bank cannabls cash receipts which would be collected daily by an armored vehicle and deposited directly to the bank.
The centralized management, Counting and Reconciliation of cash handling within Element 7 Is managed through Hyosung Cash Recycler Machines. These machines are Mase me 1s requested to be ay contents scutie tudento and tale ses cried infrastructure information, ELEMENT 7: SECURITY PLAN
widely used in traditional retail (e.g., Starbucks and H&M Clothing) and grocery stores across North America to automate the cash management process.
Element 7 Cash Recycler
At the end of a shift or at any point of the day, the General Manager is able to feed cash bills from dispensary cash sales into the cash machine which then connects to the Treez POS System & Quickbooks. This machine eliminates human handling and counting of cash in- store and is stored in the secure Product Storage Room and bolted into a reinforced concrete slab. Records are matched hourly with the POS receipts to ensure that both systems having matching correct numbers. Alerts are sent to the CEO and CFO if discrepancies are This machine also doubles as highly secured Cash Storage. Internal Company policy has defined register cash limits. Cash limits identify when cash in registers need to be removed and placed in the Hyosung Cash Machine. Register cash limits are set at $1,000.00. Once a register reaches $1,000.00, the General or Assistant Manager perform a cash drop. The Manager will approach the register with a money bag and remove the cash. The cash drop action will be processed through the register and will require the PIN of the manager in order to be performed. Once the process is completed through the register, the cash is placed in the money bag and the till is closed, the Manager will be escorted by security to feed the cash into the Hyosung Cash Machine which will automatically count the cash and report the funds to the TREEZ POS System instantly and the company QuickBooks system which is managed by the CFO. Cash is securely stored in this machine and can only be accessed by a dual-pin which is far more effective than cash storage as accessible bills in a vault. The movement of currency from Retail Floor to the Hyosung Cash Machine are recorded on security surveillance cameras installed throughout the facility. At the close of business day, the General Manager will close the POS System for the day and deposit all remaining cash into the Cash Machine for a final count, reconciliation, and overnight storage.
Customer Transactions
All transactions are conducted as cash sales. Many of our peers in the industry accept credit card sales, have elaborate cryptocurrency cash transaction schemes in place, and others have advised the banks they deal with that the transactions are for an alternate business purpose. Unfortunately, none of these schemes and programs are compliant with Federal banking regulations, and we are forced, as an industry, to rely on cash transactions for now.
All transactions will be managed through an industry-leading streamlined cash management POS software system that allows for:
