Description/Analysis
The City qualified for this grant due to Council’s establishment of the Cannabis Opportunity Reinvestment and Equity (CORE) program on August 9, 2018 (Resolution 2018-xxx). The CORE program is intended to reduce the barriers of entry into cannabis businesses for individuals and their

immediate family members who have been arrested for cannabis-related crimes between 1990 and 2011 and/or have lived in low-income households in 11 zip codes within the City during that time.
On December 13, 2022, the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) applied for these grant funds.
OCM was notified by GO-Biz on January 31, 2023, that the city City would be awarded $1,563,722.87, the third highest grant in the State. Per the grant guidelines, funds must be expended within the grant term of April 1, 2023 to October 31, 2024.
Accordingly, the GO-Biz grant funds will be used to support a grant program to assist local cannabis equity participants to enter and operate in the regulated cannabis marketplace. There continues to be a large gap between CORE participants and CORE applicants and licensees. This is attributable in great part to the capital-intensive requirements to enter the regulated cannabis marketplace and the lack of generational wealth experienced by most CORE participants.
Attached is the resolution that includes the State-mandated language authorizing the City Manager, or City Manager’s designee to execute all necessary documents to accept the GO-Biz grant funds (Attachment 2).
Policy Considerations: The recommendations in this report are consistent with Council Resolution 2021-0198, Section 11, which requires Council approval to accept grant funding, to establish a grant project, and to appropriate funding when the grant award is $250,000 or more, and when such action is required by a grantor. In addition, to accept the grant, GO-Biz requires that the local agency enter into a standard agreement with GO-Biz and obtain a resolution authorizing the local jurisdiction to enter into the standard agreement and designating by title the individual authorized to sign the agreement on behalf of the local jurisdiction.
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations: None.
Sustainability: Not applicable.
Commission/Committee Action: Not applicable.
Rationale for Recommendation: The GO-Biz grant funds will allow the City to continue its grant program that CORE program participants can utilize to fund start-up costs associated with securing a location and other expenses incurred when establishing a cannabis business.
Financial Considerations: The cost to implement the grant program will be negligible. In FY2022, the City received a GO-Biz grant in the amount of $4,351,347 which is being used to support grants to CORE program participants therefore the framework is already in place.

GO-Biz grant funds are intended to reduce barriers to entry into the legal, regulated cannabis industry for social equity community members.
