Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: In November of 2016, voters approved Proposition 64, the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA). AUMA legalized the recreational use of marijuana in California for individuals 21 years of age and older and instituted taxes on cannabis. Proposition 64 also established the Public Health and Safety Grant Program which provides funding to support law enforcement, fire protection, and public health initiatives for jurisdictions that allow storefront cannabis retail sales or jurisdictions with fewer than 10,000 residents which allow cannabis delivery.

The City qualifies and is eligible for this grant due to Council’s establishment of Storefront Cannabis Dispensary Permits (Ordinance 2017-0060) under City Code Section 5.150.350.

File ID: 2026-00734 3/24/2026
The Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) is the administering entity for this grant program, and has set a March 30, 2026 deadline to apply for Cohort 4 funds, with a total of $125 million available statewide. These funds can be used between July 1, 2026, and December 31, 2031.

The City has applied for and received funding in prior Cohorts with the City receiving $3,999,470 over 2 grant cycles.

The Office of Cannabis Management convened the City’s Police, Community Development, and Youth, Parks, and Community Enrichment Departments to develop a plan regarding how Cohort 4 funding could best be utilized. Staff recommends the City apply for $6 million for the following:
· $4.2M to support public safety and enforcement, including support for Police Department and Code Enforcement staffing to enhance enforcement and public safety operations as well as contracts with Community-Based Organizations to identify, investigate, disrupt, and deter illicit commercial cannabis activity.
· $1.3M to support public health and youth development, prevention, and intervention, including support for the Office of Cannabis Management and the Department of Youth, Parks, and Community Enrichment to protect community safety, improve health outcomes, and reduce harms associated with cannabis activity and to improve outcomes for youth by implementing programs that prevent substance use, promote healthy decision making, and build the competencies needed for successful transition into adulthood.

There is no local match requirement for this grant, and grant funds cannot be used to supplant existing local funding that is already appropriated for the same purpose.

The BSCC grant funds will be used to reduce the prevalence of illicit commercial cannabis operations, improve community safety, promote education and outreach related to cannabis impacts especially in diverse populations, reduce youth cannabis use and promote youth engagement in school, family and community.

Approval of the attached resolution includes the State-mandated language authorizing the City Manager or designee to execute all necessary documents to apply for BSCC grant funds (Attachment 2).

Policy Considerations: The recommendations in this report are consistent with Council Resolution 2022-0198, Section 11, which requires Council approval to accept grant funding, to establish a grant project, and to appropriate funding to account for Council-approved grant match and retention obligations when the grant award is $250,000 or more, and when such action is required by a grantor.

Economic Impacts: None.

File ID: 2026-00734 3/24/2026
Environmental Considerations: The proposed activity is not a project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(2). The activity is a continuing administrative or maintenance activity, such as the purchases for supplies, personnel related actions, general policy, and procedure making, and is not subject to CEQA. CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3).

Sustainability: Not applicable.

Commission/Committee Action: Not applicable.

Rationale for Recommendation: The BSCC grant funds will allow the City to continue its efforts to combat illicit cannabis operations and improve public health.

Financial Considerations: There is no local match requirement for this grant program, and all additional program costs will be funded with grant funds.

Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable.

RESOLUTION NO.

TO INITIATING THE APPLICATION PROCESS!
Questions About the Grant
This Request for Proposal (RFP) provides the necessary information to submit a proposal for the Proposition 64 Public Health and Safety (Prop 64) Grant Program to the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC). BSCC staff cannot assist the applicant or its partners with the actual preparation of the proposal.

Technical questions concerning the RFP, the proposal process, or programmatic issues must be submitted by email to: [email protected]. BSCC will accept and respond to written questions about this RFP through March 10, 2026. A frequently asked questions and answers (FAQ) document will be posted to the BSCC website and periodically updated through March 20, 2026.

Background and Purpose of the Grant
In November of 2016, voters approved Proposition 64, the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA). AUMA legalized the recreational use of marijuana in California for individuals 21 years of age and older. Proposition 64 also provides that a portion of the tax revenue from the cultivation and retail sale of cannabis or cannabis products will be appropriated. Section 34019 of the Revenue and Taxation Code (RTC), relating to cannabis, was amended by Senate Bill No. 141, CH. 18, in June 2025. For administration of funding, the RTC states:

To the Board of State and Community Corrections for making grants to local governments to assist with law enforcement, fire protection, or other local programs addressing public health and safety associated with the implementation of the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act. A local government shall be eligible for a grant only if it either allows the retail sale of cannabis in storefronts or, for jurisdictions with a population of 10,000 residents or less, allows cannabis delivery in the ju risdiction that serves both medicinal and adult -use consumers.

The Board of State and Community Corrections shall prioritize grant awards for local governments whose grant application includes illicit cannabis enforcement.

The board may award grants both competitively and based on a formula to provide consistent and ongoing funding for local governments to implement the programs described in this subparagraph. (Rev. & Tax Code, § 34019, subd. (f)(3)(C).)

PART I: GRANT INFORMATION

PART I, Page | 2
BSCC Executive Steering Committee & Scoring Panel Processes The BSCC uses Executive Steering Committees (ESCs) and Scoring Panels to develop grant requirements and evaluate grant proposals. ESCs and Scoring Panels are composed of subject matter experts, community partners, and interested parties representing both the public and private sectors. The BSCC makes every attempt to include diverse representation on ESCs and Scoring Panels, in breadth of experience, geography, and demographics.

The BSCC will use a Scoring Panel process to evaluate Prop 64 Cohort 4 proposals and develop funding recommendations for the Board. The Board may approve, reject, or revise those recommendations. Members of the Scoring Panel are not paid for their time but are reimbursed for travel expenses incurred to attend meetings. If the BSCC is unable to convene a full Scoring Panel, BSCC staff may participate in the rating process.

Conflicts of Interest
Existing law prohibits any grantee, subgrantee, partner, or like party who participates on the Prop 64 Scoring Panel from receiving funds from the Prop 64 grants awarded under this RFP. Applicants who are awarded grants under this RFP are responsible for reviewing the Scoring Panel membership roster and ensuring that no grant dollars are passed through to any entity represented by any member of the Scoring Panel. Please check the BSCC Prop 64 home page for updated information on the Scoring Panel.

Funding Information
The total funding available through the Cohort 4 RFP is $125 million. All grant funds are contingent on timely deposits made available to the BSCC through the Proposition 64 Initiative (the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act) via the State and Local Government Law Enforcement Account.

Grant Period
Proposals selected for funding will be under agreement from : July 1, 2026 , to December 31, 2031.

The agreement includes a 5-year grant project period starting on July 1, 2026, and ending on June 30, 2031. An additional six months (July 1, 2031, to December 31, 2031) will be included in the term of the grant agreement for the sole purpose of finalizing and submitting a required Local Evaluation Report and a required audit (both described later in this RFP).

Eligibility to Apply
Applicants eligible to apply for the Prop 64 Cohort 4 Grant must be a local jurisdiction* that either:

1. Allows the retail sale of cannabis in storefronts.

OR

2. For jurisdictions with a population of 10,000 residents or less, allow s cannabis delivery in the jurisdiction that serves both medicinal and adult-use consumers.

* For purposes of this RFP, “local jurisdiction” means a city, county, or city and county in the State of California. (Bus. & Prof. Code § 26001(am).).

Please note: If the local jurisdiction only restricts the retail sale of cannabis to specific locations pursuant to local zoning ordinances, or if the local jurisdiction requires licensure for specific retail sales activities provided that such restrictions do not result in the prohibition of all retail sales in the local government’s jurisdiction/authority, the local jurisdiction may be eligible to apply for the Prop 64 Cohort 4 Grant.

Local jurisdictions in California must meet the above eligibility criteria by March 30, 2026, to be considered for funding under the Prop 64 Cohort 4 Grant Program and must maintain eligibility for the duration of the grant period.

Proof of Eligibility
It is up to the applicant to demonstrate to the BSCC that they meet the eligibility criteria listed above. Prospective applicants are advised to consult with local counsel.

Applicants are required to submit a Letter of Eligibility (as part of the RFP submittal process), detailing how the city, county, or city and county meets the above criteria, including the dates the regulations, ordinances, or amendments to local jurisdiction charters became enacted/effective (see Appendix A). Jurisdictions in the process of legalizing the cultivation or retail sale of marijuana or marijuana products will be ineligible for current funding under the Prop 64 Cohort 4 Grant Program.

Additionally, if a grant award is made to a city, county, or city and county (eligible at the time of award) but becomes ineligible post -award, the contract with the Grantee will be terminated and any remaining funds will cease to be disbursed for the rest of the contract term.

Applicants may want to review the data compiled by the Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) for their jurisdiction at: https://cannabis.ca.gov/cannabis-laws/where-cannabis- businesses-are-allowed/. The BSCC will not use this data to determine ineligibility;

PART I, Page | 7
however, the BSCC may consider the information contained on the DCC’s website to request additional eligibility information from the applicant.

Designating a Lead Public Agency
All Prop 64 Grant applicants must designate a Lead Public Agency (LPA) to serve as the coordinator for all grant activities. The LPA must be a governmental agency with local authority of or within that city, county, or city and county. The applicant may choose to fill the role of LPA itself, or it may designate a department, agency, or office under its jurisdiction to serve as the LPA. The role of the LPA is to coordinate with local government agencies and non -governmental organizations (if applicable) to ensure successful implementation of the grant program. The LPA is responsible for data collection and management, overseeing evaluative activities, and will serve as the primary point of contact with the BSCC.

Questions About Eligibility
• Can an eligible local jurisdiction submit more than one proposal? Yes, eligible local jurisdictions may submit up to two (2) proposals for Prop 64 Cohort 4 funding consideration. Each proposal must have a different Lead Public Agency and different scope of work. For example, a county may submit one proposal focused primarily on Project Purpose Area 1 (see Project Purpose Area definitions later in this document ) with the Sheriff’s Department as Lead Public Agency and a second proposal focused primarily on Project Purpose Area 2 with the Public Health Department as Lead Public Agency.

• Are Prop 64 Cohort 3 Grantees eligible to apply?
Yes, eligible local jurisdictions that are currently receiving Prop 64 Cohort 3 Grant funds are eligible to apply for Cohort 4 funding but must designate a different Lead Public Agency than the one named in its current Cohort 3 Grant Agreement. For example, if the County Department of Public Health is the Lead Public Agency on the Cohort 3 Grant, the County Probation Department may apply for Cohort 4 funds.

• Can an ineligible jurisdiction receive Prop 64 PH&S grant funds as part of a collaborative proposal, such as a regional task force?
No, local governments that are ineligible to receive Prop 64 PH&S grant funds based on the eligibility criteria contained in Section 34019 of the Revenue and Taxation Code may not receive grant funding through a ny type of subcontract or interagency agreement.

PART I, Page | 8

Grant Funding & Applicant Categories
A total of $125 million in state funding is available for local projects through this RFP, contingent on timely deposits to the BSCC through the Proposition 64 Initiative (the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act) via the State and Local Government Law Enforcement Account.

The total available funding will be awarded within four (4) categories . The amount of funding allocated to each category, and the maximum amount of grant funds an applicant in each category can apply for, are shown in the following table:

* The categorization of a city or county as small, medium, or large is based on city and county population figures published by the California Department of Finance (see Appendix B). Applicant should check Appendix B to determine the Applicant Category in which they will compete.

20% $25,000,000
Total Funding: $125,000,00

PART I, Page | 16
Recognizing that different sized jurisdictions have different capacities, resources, and needs, and in an effort to distribute funding equitably across the state, these categories were established by the original Prop. 64 Executive Steering Committee. Appl icants will initially compete in either Category 1, 2, or 3, and will compete only against other applicants within their category.

Funds allocated to Categories 1-3 will be awarded first. Once the funding assigned to a category is exhausted, any remaining proposals in that category will compete together in Category 4, regardless of county size.

If a proposal is only partially fundable within Category 1, 2, and/or 3 due to insufficient funds remaining, that proposal will receive full funding using funds from Category 4. If any of the three (3) categories do not have a sufficient number of qualified applicants to fully expend its allocation, the remaining funds will be added to Category 4.

If an applicant or grantee relinquishes an award, the BSCC may offer that award to the next qualifying applicant(s) on the ranked list.

Building the Project Budget
Applicants are strongly encouraged to request only the amount of funds needed to support their proposal and an amount that can be justified with supporting documentation.

All applicants must build their proposal, objectives, activities, timelines, and budg et information for all five (5) years of the grant cycle (which includes the 6 -month period for the completion and submission of the evaluation and audit requirements). For example, if an applicant is requesting $3,000,000, the budget detail must clearly illustrate how that $3,000,000 will be allocated across the entire five (5) years (see Budget Section for instructions).

No Match Requirement
There is no match requirement for the Prop 64 Grant Program.

Data Collection, Reporting and Evaluation Requirements
Projects selected for funding will be required to submit Quarterly Progress Reports (QPRs) to the BSCC and complete an evaluation of their grant -funded project that focuses on the achievement of the project’s goals and objectives. Completion of the evaluation requires the submission of a Local Evaluation Plan (LEP) and Local Evaluation Report (LER). A summary of the QPRs, LEP, and LER follows. More detailed information and evaluation-related resources will be made available to grantees.

The BSCC will also be conducting a statewide evaluation of the impact of projects funded by the Proposition 64 grant program. The focus of the statewide evaluation is to report on the impact of the grant funds across all, and subgroups, of the grant-funded projects. This

PART I, Page | 17
contrasts with grantees’ evaluation of their grant -funded projects which focus on their project’s specific goals and objectives. The primary data collection instrument for the BSCC’s statewide evaluation will be the QPR and information gathered from grante es through their LEPs, LERs, and interviews.

Quarterly Progress Reports
Grant recipients are required to submit QPRs to the BSCC. QPRs are a critical element in the BSCC’s monitoring and oversight process and the primary data collection tool for the BSCC’s statewide evaluation.

A brief outline of the types of information and data grantees will be required to report through the QPRs follows. Once grants are awarded, BSCC staff will update the design of the QPR to ensure the data collected reflects the projects that were funded. Applicable forms and instructions will be available to grantees on the BSCC’s website after the Grantee Orientation.

Types of data and information gathered through the QPRs:
• Grantee progress in implementing common project implementation activities (i.e., partnerships, staffing, training, enforcement activities, public safety activities, data collection/evaluation and quality assurance). For each activity, grantees will report their implementation status (not yet started, planning, implementation started, complete/established, N/A) and provide a narrative description of their progress, accomplishments, and/or challenges.
• Grantee progress in achieving their project’s goals and objectives. For each goal and its associated objectives, grantees will describe their progress toward achieving the goal, any challenges achieving the goal or objectives, and, if applicable, how the challenges are being addressed.
• Aggregate data for project activities and participants, if applicable, including:
o Activities undertaken and/or services provided or received during the reporting period by specific categories (e.g., storefront closures, nuisance abatement, environmental remediations, community surveys, community educational events, inspections, complaints responded to, etc.). o For project’s that plan to serve participants: Demographic information for age, gender identity, race or ethnicity, risk level, education, and employment status.
o Outcomes achieved (e.g., sustained closures, remediations completed, deterrence effects observed, number of inspections completed, number of illegal cultivation areas identified, number of youth with reduced assessed risk status, number of youth with reduc ed frequency of cannabis use, number of public awareness campaigns initiated, other positive outcomes).

PART I, Page | 18
Grantees will report on outcomes appropriate for their project and participants (if applicable).
• Project-level quantitative and qualitative (narrative) information related to local impacts due to the legalization of adult use recreational cannabis in California and project highlights or success stories.

Local Evaluation Plan (LEP)
The purpose of the LEP is to ensure that the grantee has a plan in place at the beginning of the project to collect the data and information necessary to, at the conclusion of the grant period, report on the extent to which the project’s goals and objectives, as included in the proposal, were achieved. The LEP is expected to include a detailed description of the data and information that will be collected for each goal and its associated objectives and detailed descriptions of the data management, analysis and reporting plans. The plan should be developed before the project starts or during project implementation before services or activities begin. Generally, modifications to the plan may occur during the grant period to address challenges or lessons learne d. Appendix C provides the guidelines for the LEP. The LEP will be due no later than December 31, 2026.

Local Evaluation Report (LER)
The purpose of the LER is to document the extent to which the project achieved its goals and objectives. Implementation of the LEP should ensure the grantee has the data and information necessary to do so. Appendix C provides the guidelines for the LER. The LER will be due no later than December 31, 2031.

Recommendation for Data Collection Evaluation Efforts
To ensure that grantees can comply with the BSCC’s data collection and reporting requirements in a meaningful way that benefits the applicants, their communities, and the State of California, it is highly recommended that grantees budget at least five (5) percent of the total grant award for data co llection and evaluation efforts. These efforts include the resources necessary to complete the QPRs, develop and write the LEP, implement the LEP, analyze data, and write the required LER.

Applicants are also encouraged to use outside evaluators to ensure objective and impartial evaluations. Specifically, applicants are encouraged to partner with institutions of higher learning universities, state universities, community colleges, and other research entities.

In addition, applicants are strongly encouraged to identify research partners early on and include them in the development of the proposal, so that the goals and objectives listed in the Project Work Plan are measurable.

PART I, Page | 19
Additional BSCC Grant Requirements
Grant Agreement
Applicants approved for funding by the BSCC Board are required to enter into a grant agreement with the BSCC. Grantees must agree to comply with all terms and conditions of the BSCC Grant Agreement. A sample BSCC Grant Agreement can be found on the BSCC Prop 64 website . The BSCC Grant Agreement start date is expected to be July 1, 2026.

A BSCC Grant Agreement is considered fully executed only after:
• It is signed by both the Grantee and the BSCC, and
• The BSCC is in receipt of all required attachments including documentation of signing authority (i.e., Governing Board Resolution).

Work, services, and encumbrances cannot begin prior to the grant agreement start date.

Any work, services, and encumbrances that occur after the start date but prior to grant agreement execution may not be reimbursed. Grantees and all subgrantees are responsible for maintaining their grant agreement, all invoices, records, and relevant documentation for at least three (3) years after the final payment under the grant agreement.

Please note: The BSCC may elect not to enter into a grant agreement with your organization if any of the following are true:
• The applicant had a BSCC grant terminated in the past three years. • The applicant has overdue deliverables that have not been submitted (e.g., Final Local Evaluation Report, Audit Report, etc.).
• The applicant has unpaid financial obligations due to the BSCC.

Signing Authority
Before the grant award can be finalized and funds awarded, successful applicants must submit either a resolution from its governing board that delegates authority to the individual authorized to execute the grant agreement or sufficient documentation indicating that the individual who signs the grant agreement has been vested with plenary authority to execute grant agreements (e.g., a municipal ordinance or city/county ordinance/charter delegating such authority to a city manager or department head).

This documentation is not required at the time of proposal submission, but applicants are advised that the grant agreement will not be fully executed, nor will any financial invoices be processed for reimbursement until the required documentation has been received by the BSCC. For reference, a sample governing board resolution can be found in Appendix D.

PART I, Page | 20
Supplanting Prohibited
Supplanting is the deliberate reduction in the amount of federal, state, or local funds being appropriated to an existing program or activity because grant funds have been awarded for the same purposes.

Supplanting is strictly prohibited for all BSCC grants. BSCC grant funds shall be used to support new program activities or to augment existing funds which expand current program activities. BSCC grant funds shall not be used to replace existing funds.

It is the responsibility of the grantee to ensure that supplanting does not occur. The grantee must keep clear and detailed financial records to show that grant funds are used only for allowable costs and activities.

Audit Requirements
Grantees are required to provide the BSCC with a program specific compliance audit that covers the service delivery period of the grant (July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2031).

The audit report will be due no later than December 31 , 2031. The program specific compliance audit must be performed by a certified public accountant or a participating county or city auditor that is organizationally independent from the participating county or city’s project financial management functions. Expenses for the final audit may be reimbursed for actual costs up to $25,000.

In addition, the BSCC reserves the right to call for a program compliance or financial audit at any time between the execution of the grant agreement and three (3) years following the end of the grant period.

The Department of General Services, the California State Auditor, and the Department of Finance or their designated representative shall also have the right to review and to copy any records and supporting documentation pertaining to the performance of this grant.

Mandatory Grantee Orientation
Following the start of the grant period, BSCC staff will conduct a mandatory grantee orientation (on a date to be determined later). The purpose of this mandatory session is to review the program requirements, invoicing, and budget modification processes, data collection and reporting requirements, as well as other grant management and monitoring activities. Typically, the project director, financial officer, and day-to-day contact must attend. Grantees are strongly encouraged to include their evaluator, if already hired/designated.

PART I, Page | 21
Travel Policies
Travel is usually warranted when personal contact by project staff is the most appropriate method of conducting project -related business. Travel to and from training conferences may also be allowed. The most economical method of transportation, in terms of direct expenses to the project and the employee's time away from the project, must be used.

Projects are required to include sufficient per diem and travel allocations for project - related personnel, as outlined in the grant award, to attend any mandated BSCC training conferences or workshops outlined in the terms of the program. • Units of Government . Units of government may follow either their own written travel and per diem policy or the State’s policy. Units of government that plan to use cars from a state, county, city, district carpool, or garage may budget either the mileage rate established by th e carpool or garage, or the state mileage rate, not to exceed the loaning agency rate.
• Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). An NGO receiving the BSCC funds must use the State travel and per diem policy, unless the grantee’s written travel policy is more restrictive than the State's, in which case it must be used.

Reimbursement is allowed for the cost of commercial carrier fares, parking, bridge, and road tolls, as well as necessary taxi, bus, and streetcar fares. This policy applies equally to NGOs that receive grant funds directly from the BSCC and those that receive grant funds indirectly through a subcontract with another NGO that received a BSCC grant award.
• Out-of-State Travel . Out-of-state travel is restricted and only allowed in exceptional situations. Even if previously authorized in the grant award, grantees must submit to the BSCC a separate formal request (on grantee letterhead) to the BSCC for approval that includes a detailed justification and budget information.

Grantees must receive written approval from the BSCC prior to incurring expenses for out-of-state travel.
• International Travel. State grant funds may not be used for international travel.

Debarment, Fraud, Theft, or Embezzlement
It is the policy of the BSCC to protect grant funds from unreasonable risks of fraudulent, criminal, or other improper use. As such, the Board will not enter into contracts or provide reimbursement to applicants that have been:

1. debarred by any federal, state, or local government entities during the period of debarment; or

2. convicted of fraud, theft, or embezzlement of federal, state, or local government grant funds for a period of three years following conviction.

Furthermore, the BSCC requires grant recipients to provide an assurance that there has been no applicable debarment, disqualification, suspension, or removal from a federal,

PART I, Page | 22
state or local grant program on the part of the grantee at the time of application and that the grantee will immediately notify the BSCC should such debarment or conviction occur during the term of the grant contract.

The BSCC also requires that all grant recipients include, as a condition of award to a subgrantee or subcontractor, a requirement that the subgrantee or subcontractor will provide the same assurances to the grant recipient. If a grant recipient wishes to consider a subgrantee or subcontractor that has been debarred or convicted, the grant recipient must submit a written request for exception to the BSCC along with supporting documentation.

All applicants must complete a Certification of Compliance with the BSCC Policies Regarding Debarment, Fraud, Theft, and Embezzlement (shown in Appendix E) certifying that they are in compliance with the BSCC’s policies on debarment, fraud, theft and embezzlement.

Criteria for Non -Governmental Organizations Receiving BSCC Grant Funds as a Subcontractor
The Prop 64 Grant Program includes requirements that apply to nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) receiving BSCC grant funds as subcontractors. Grantees are responsible for ensuring that all subcontracted third parties continually meet these requirements as a condition of receiving any Prop 64 funds.

Any nongovernmental organization that receives Prop 64 as a subcontractor must:
• Be duly organized, in existence, and in good standing for at least six (6) months prior to the start date of the applicant’s grant agreement with the BSCC Note:

NGOs that have recently reorganized or merged with other qualified NGOs that were in existence prior to the six-month requirement are also eligible, provided all necessary agreements have been executed and filed with the California Secretary of State prior to the start date of the applicant’s grant agreement. • Be registered with the California Secretary of State’s Office, if applicable • Have a valid business license, Employer Identification Number (EIN), and/or Taxpayer Identification Number (if a sole proprietorship) • Possess any state or local licenses or certifications required to provide the proposed services (e.g., facility licensing by the Department of Health Care Services), if applicable.

Grantees must ensure that all subcontracted NGOs maintain compliance with these requirements throughout the duration of the grant. Failure to meet or maintain these requirements may result in disallowed costs, withholding of funds, or other corrective action by the BSCC. All applicants must complete a Criteria and Assurance for Non - Governmental Organizations that Receive BSCC Grant Funds as a Subcontractor (shown in Appendix F).

PART I, Page | 23
Comprehensive Monitoring Visits
BSCC staff will monitor each project to assess whether the project is in compliance with grant requirements and making progress toward grant objectives. Monitoring visits may also occur to provide technical assistance on fiscal, programmatic, evaluative, and administrative requirements.

For your reference, the Comprehensive Monitoring Visit checklist can be found on the BSCC Corrections Planning and Grant Programs homepage.

Overview of the RFP Process
Confirmation of Receipt of Proposal
Upon submission of a proposal, applicants will receive a confirmation email generated by the Submittable Application Portal stating that the proposal has been received.

Technical Compliance Review and Eligibility Assessment
All proposals will undergo a technical compliance review before moving forward to the proposal rating process. Items that will result in disqualification are listed in the table below. Applicants that are disqualified during this phase of the process will be notified by the BSCC.

DISQUALIFICATION CRITERIA

PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY

NOTE: Disqualification means the proposal will not move forward to the Scoring Panel for the Proposal Rating Process and, therefore, will NOT be considered for funding.

The following will result in an automatic disqualification:

• Proposal submission is not completed by 3:00 P.M. (PST) March 30, 2026. (Allow sufficient time to upload all required documents in the BSCC Submittable Application Portal. Do not wait until the last minute!) • Proposal and all required attachments are not submitted via the BSCC Submittable Application Portal.

• The funding request exceeds the maximum award amount for the applicant’s category, as based on jurisdiction size, i.e.,
o The funding request from a small city or county exceeds $1 million. o The funding request from a medium city or county exceeds $4.5 million o The funding request from a large city or county exceeds $6 million • Any of the mandatory attachments are illegible, blank, will not open, or are corrupted.

PART I, Page | 25
Proposal Rating Process
Unless disqualified, proposals will advance to the Proposal Rating Process. Proposals will be evaluated in accordance with the BSCC’s Grant Proposal Evaluation Process, and as described below. Scoring Panel members will read and assign ratings to each proposal in accordance with the prescribed rating factors listed in the table below. Scoring Panel members will base their ratings on how well an applicant addresses the criteria listed under each rating factor within the proposal narrative and budget sections. Scoring Panel member ratings, once submitted to the BSCC, will be final.

At the conclusion of this process, applicants will be notified of the funding recommendations. It is anticipated the BSCC Board will act on the recommendations at its meeting on June 25, 2026. Neither applicants nor their partners or subcontractors are permitted to contact members the Scoring Panel or the BSCC Board to discuss proposals.

Rating Factors
The five (5) Rating Factors that will be used and the maximum points assigned to each are shown in the table below. A percent value has been assigned to each of the five (5) Rating Factors, correlating to its importance within the overall project (refer to Percent of Total Value column).

Applicants will be asked to address Rating Factors 1-4 in narrative form as a part of their proposal. The Project Budget (Rating Factor 5) is a separate attachment.

PART I, Page | 26
Scoring Panel members will rate an applicant’s response to each Rating Factor on a scale from 0 to 5, according to the Six -Point Rating Scale shown below. Each Rating Factor then will be weighted according to the Percent of Total Value associated with the Rating Factor to arrive at the final Weighted Rating Factor Score. The Weighted Rating Factor Scores are then added together for a Total Score.

The maximum possible proposal score is 200 (not including priority points).

Six Point Rating Scale

Scoring Threshold/Minimum Score
To be considered for funding, a proposal must meet a threshold of 50 percent (70%) of the maximum rating factor score, i.e., a minimum score of 100 total points (before the addition of priority points), to be considered for funding.

Priority Points
Revenue and Taxation Code section 34019, subd ivision (f)(3)(C), mandates that the “Board of State and Community Corrections shall prioritize grant awards for local governments whose grant application includes illicit cannabis enforcement.”

For the purposes of the Prop 64 Grant Cohort 4 RFP, the BSCC will provide an additional 20 points to the final weighted score of an applicant’s proposal, if that applicant budgets a minimum of 70 percent of its total grant fund request for illicit cannabis enforcement activities, under Project Purpose Area 1 (Public Safety/Enforcement). Additional instructions will be provided in the Project Budget Attachment.

An applicant can earn priority points only after the minimum scoring threshold is met.

If awarded Prop 64 Grant Cohort 4 funding, the applicant’s proposed budget will be incorporated by reference into the BSCC Grant Agreement. Therefore, grant recipients who were provided priority points MUST maintain a minimum of 70 percent of its project expenditures on illicit cannabis enforcement activities in order to continue receiving grant- funded reimbursements.

PART I, Page | 27
BSCC Funding Decisions

1. Applicants will first compete for funds within the applicable Applicant Category (1, 2 or 3), based on jurisdiction size, according to the table below:

2. Once the proposals have been scored and ranked, the BSCC will move down the ranked lists to fund all qualified applicants in Categories 1, 2 and 3 until all funds assigned to those categories are exhausted.

3. If a proposal is only partially fundable within Category 1, 2, or 3 due to insufficient funds remaining in that category, that proposal will receive full funding using funds from Category 4. Note: If Category 1, 2, or 3 do not have a sufficient number of qualified applicants to fully expend its allocation, the leftover funds will be added to Category 4.

4. Once any partially funded proposals from Categories 1, 2, or 3 are fully funded, all remaining qualified proposals will be moved to Category 4 and compete for the remaining funds regardless of county size. This ensures that only the highest quality proposals in Categories 1, 2, and 3 are funded.

In the event two proposals have identical proposal scores, the tie will be resolved by evaluating the individual rating factor scores of the two proposals, starting with the highest weighted rating factor (Rating Factor 2, Project Description). If an identical score occurs on this rating factor, rating factor scores will be used based on the descending weight valued until the tie is broken.

Guidelines for the Local Evaluation Plan and Local Evaluation Report For the Prop 64 Cohort 4 grant program, the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) requires grantees to complete a Level One Evaluation of their grant -funded project. A Level One Evaluation focuses on achievement of the project’s goals and objectives. Demonstration of completing this requirement will require the submission of two documents, a Local Evaluation Plan and a Local Evaluation Report. Both are described below along with their due dates.

• Local Evaluation Plan (LEP) – A written document that describes the data collection, management, and analysis and reporting plan that will be implemented to ensure that achievement of the project’s goals and objectives can and will be assessed. Ideally it should be developed before the project starts or during project implementation, before services or activities begin.
• Local Evaluation Report (LER) – A written document that provides the interpretation of various data elements intended to assess whether the project was successful in achieving its goals and objectives.

These guidelines identify the minimum required content that must be included within each document, respectively.

Local Evaluation Plan
Cover Page
The cover page provides a descriptive report title and identifies the grantee(s), author(s), project period, and funding source.

Project Overview
This section provides a concise overview of the project's activities, services, or interventions, emphasizing their relevance to the target population (if applicable). The information provided should focus on the essential information necessary to understa nd the project's goals and objectives (next section). It should not describe the need for the project. This section shall not exceed two (2) pages in length.

Data Collection Plan
For each of the project’s goals and associated objectives, this section identifies the data elements—along with their source and frequency of collection —that will be used to measure achievement. To complete this section, first use the table template provid ed (refer to example below) to list each of the project’s goals and associated objectives as

APPENDIX C
Level One Evaluation Requirements for Prop 64 PH&S Grantees

APPENDICES, Page | 57
documented in the grant agreement.1 The goals and objectives shall be those within the grant agreement unless changes were preapproved by the assigned BSCC Field Representative. One table template should be used for each goal and its associated objectives.

Next, complete each table by listing, on separate rows, each distinct data element that will be collected to measure achievement toward the respective goal or its objective(s).

For each data element, use the remaining columns to identify the data source, frequency of data collection, and the goal or objective that is the target. Definitions for these terms follow.
• Data element – a basic unit of information, or data, to be collected that has a unique meaning (e.g., gender, race, city, age, arrest date, graduation rate). Please note that the data elements must be logically related to the respective goal or objective it is intended to assess.
• Data source – the location from which the data element originates (e.g., intake form, case management system, standardized assessment, interview, focus group, MOU with partner agency).
• Frequency of data collection – defines how often the data element will be collected or pulled from the data source (e.g., at enrollment, at project/program exit/completion, every 6 months, annually, quarterly, during case management sessions, at course completion).
• Target – the goal or objective(s) that the data element is intended to assess.

Data Collection Plan for Goal 1 (Table Template)

1 The goals and objectives shall be those within the grant agreement unless changes were preapproved by the assigned BSCC Field Representative.

APPENDICES, Page | 58
Data Management
This section provides a concise description of the process that will be used to acquire, validate, store, protect, and monitor the data elements identified in the section(s) above.

The description shall not exceed one page and should, at a minimum, include:
• Identification of who is responsible for implementing the data collection plan(s). • Detail data sharing agreements with external partners, if applicable. • How the data will be monitored throughout the duration of the project and adjustments, if needed, will be identified and made in a timely manner to the data collection plan(s).
• How incomplete or inconsistent data will be identified and corrected. • Where the data will be stored and kept secure.

Data Analysis and Reporting
This section provides a concise description of the process that will be used to analyze and present the data in a meaningful way. The description shall not exceed one page and should, at a minimum, include:
• Identification of who is responsible for analyzing the data. • How the data will be used to determine achievement of the goal(s) or objective(s) (e.g., comparison between two points in time).
• The analytical tools that will be used (e.g., Excel, Sheets, SPSS, SAS, R). • Identification of who is responsible for communicating the findings and writing the LER.

Local Evaluation Report
Cover Page
The cover page provides a descriptive report title and identifies the grantee(s), author(s), project period, and funding source.

Project Overview

The information provided should focus on the essential information necessary to understa nd the project's goals and objectives (next section). It should not describe the need for the project. This section shall not exceed two (2) pages in length.

Goal Achievements
For each of the project’s goals, this section(s) should highlight the most important results and analyses of the data elements collected that describe the extent to which the goal was achieved. Follow the results with a brief narrative that provides necessary context to understand the findings. The report writer can decide the proper heading(s) for this section(s). That is, rather than “Goal Achievements” as a single heading and section, a heading that is appropriate for each goal and its achievement can be used to organize

APPENDICES, Page | 59
the report (e.g., “Recidivism was Reduced by 50 Percent”, “85 Percent of Participants Actively Engaged in Treatment”). The goals and objectives of the project should be clearly provided either within the text of this section or by providing the data collec tion tables from the LEP as an appendix.2

Discussion
This section is the final portion of the report and provides a holistic description of the meaning, importance, and relevance of the achievements reported. The content may also include a discussion of limitations, challenges, recommendations for future projects, and lessons learned. This section shall not exceed one (1) page in length.

Grantee Highlights
This section provides the grantee the opportunity to share a brief, visually appealing highlight or success story that provides additional information related to the project’s success over the grant cycle. Optional graphs, charts, or photos may be included .3 This highlight may be included in a statewide report for the grant program. While every effort will be made to include these in a statewide report, inclusion in the report is not guaranteed. This section shall not exceed one (1) page in length.

Appendix (Optional)
The appendix(ices) may be provided to present the Data Collection table for each goal from the Local Evaluation Plan. Other content may be provided as appropriate.

2 These should be the original goals and objectives for the project as defined in the project’s proposal unless they were modif ied with the approval of the assigned BSCC Field Representative. If they were modified, indicate so and provide a brief explanati on for the modification.
3 The BSCC will only accept photographs in which all persons depicted are over 18 years of age and have consented to both being photographed and to the use and release of their image. By submitting photographs to the BSCC, the submitter acknowledges that all approvals have been obtained from the subjects in the photograph(s) and that all persons are over 18 years of age. Further, by submitting the photographs, the submitter irrevocably authorizes the BSCC to edit, alter, copy, exhibit, publish or distri bute the photographs for purposes of publicizing BSCC grant programs or for any other lawful purpose. All photographs submitted will b e considered public records and subject to disclosure pursuant to the California Public Records Act.

It is the policy of the BSCC to protect grant funds from unreasonable risks of fraudulent, criminal, or other improper use. As such, the Board will not enter into contracts or provide reimbursement to applicants that have been:

1. debarred by any federal, state, or local government entities during the period of debarment; or

2. convicted of fraud, theft, or embezzlement of federal, state, or local government grant funds for a period of three years following conviction.

Furthermore, the BSCC requires grant recipients to provide an assurance that there has been no applicable debarment, disqualification, suspension, or removal from a federal, state or local grant program on the part of the grantee at the time of application and that the gra ntee will immediately notify the BSCC should such debarment or conviction occur during the term of the Grant contract.

The BSCC also requires that all grant recipients include, as a condition of award to a subgrantee or subcontractor, a requirement that the subgrantee or subcontractor will provide the same assurances to the grant recipient. If a grant recipient wishes to consi der a subgrantee or subcontractor that has been debarred or convicted, the grant recipient must submit a written request for exception to the BSCC along with supporting documentation.

By signing below, applicant affirms that:
• I/We are not currently debarred by any federal, state, or local entity from applying for or receiving federal, state, or local grant funds.
• I/We have not been convicted of any crime involving theft, fraud, or embezzlement of federal, state, or local grant funds within the last three years. We will notify the BSCC should such debarment or conviction occur during the term of the grant contract. • I/We will hold subgrantees and subcontractors to these same requirements.

A grantee may make a request in writing to the Executive Director of the BSCC for an exception to the debarment policy. Any determination made by the executive director shall be made in writing.

Every grantee and sub -grantee/sub-recipient that receives Prop 64 PH&S Grant funds should utilize programs, practices, and approaches that embed cultural relevancy.

Developmentally Appropriate
A service or intervention may be considered developmentally appropriate if it is based on a child’s level of need, or developmental stage, rather than the child’s chronological age.

Evidence-based / Promising Practices
Evidence-based practices are programs and strategies that have been found effective at improving positive or preventing negative health outcomes, using rigorous scientific research methods. Programs and strategies may be evidence -based across all populations, or only for particular cultures and identities.

Promising practices are programs and strategies that have shown some positive results and potential for improving desired health outcomes. They may have evidence from use in real-world settings, a strong theoretical framework, and/or expert opinion, but have not been fully replicated in scientific studies. Depending on the level of scientific evidence, these are sometimes referred to as “evidence -informed,” “research-supported,” or “emerging” practices.

Applicants may find it helpful to review the information on evidence -based practices in Appendix C of this RFP as well as in the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Guide to Evidence -Based Practices available at:
https://www.samhsa.gov/ebp-resource-center.

Service Need Determination
In considering whether to provide diversion services to potential program participants, service providers receiving funding under this grant must use an approach that is trauma- informed, culturally relevant and developmentally appropriate. Approaches could include, but are not limited to, surveys or interviews. Applicants must thoroughly explain and justify their proposed approach for deciding which youth will be selected or chosen for program

APPENDICES, Page | 72
participation. Every applicant must identify some methodology for determining whether a potential program participant would benefit from services and how youth will be matched with specific services that provide those benefits.

Trauma
Trauma is an experience that causes intense physical and psychological stress reactions.

It can refer to a single event, multiple events, or a set of circumstances that is experienced by an individual as physically and emotionally harmful or threatening and that has lasting adverse effects on the individual’s physical, social, emotional, cognitive, or spiritual well- being.

Trauma-Informed
A Trauma-Informed approach is one in which all parties involved recognize and respond appropriately to the impact of traumatic stress designed to the youth ’s individual needs and ensure the physical and psychological safety of all youth, family members, and staff.

Trauma-informed care is an organizational structure and system framework that involves understanding, recognizing, and responding to traumatic stress reactions and the effects of all types of trauma. Trauma -informed care also emphasizes raising aw areness and providing resources about trauma and the impact of trauma on youth, family members and staff.

Youth
Youth is defined as under the age of 21 (i.e., individuals not of legal age to use and purchase cannabis products).

EVALUATIVE TERMS

Local Evaluation Plan and Local Evaluation Report4
The purpose of the Local Evaluation Plan and the Local Evaluation Report is to identify whether the program achieved its goals and objectives. Outcome measures are designed to answer the question: “What results did the program produce?” Examples of outcome measures could include:
• Results of pre/post surveys (e.g., improvements in the number of high school graduates or reductions in law enforcement contacts).
• Implementation of programs aimed at increasing the number of youth enrolled in mentoring programs.
• Changes in policies that improve access to alcohol and substance use prevention services for youth.

Goal versus Objective
Goals and objectives are necessary components of the Local Evaluation Plan and the Project Work Plan. These common terms are sometimes used interchangeably because both refer to the intended results of program activities. Goals are longer -term than

objectives, more broadly stated and govern the specific objectives to which program activities are directed.

In proposals, goals are defined by broad statements of what the program intends to accomplish, representing the long-term intended outcome of the program5.

Examples of goal statements6:
• To reduce the number of youths who commit serious offenses. • To reduce the number of youths who exhibit a pattern of chronic offending. • To divert youth who commit nonviolent offenses from state juvenile correctional institutions.
• To restore the losses suffered by the victims of crimes. • To make improvements in academic behavior and/or achievement. • To reduce rates of youth substance use in the target area.

Objectives are statements of specific, measurable aims of program activities. Objectives detail the tasks that must be completed to achieve goals. Descriptions of objectives in the proposals should include three elements7:
1) Direction – the expected change or accomplishment (e.g., improve, maintain); 2) Timeframe – when the objective will be achieved; and 3) Target Population – who is affected by the objective.

Examples of program objectives8:
• By the end of the program, drug -addicted youth will recognize the long -term consequences of drug use.
• To place eligible youth in an intensive supervision program within two weeks of adjudication to ensure their accountability and the community’s safety. • To ensure the youth in this program carry out all the terms of the mediation agreements they have worked out with their victims by program completion. • To improve the self-discipline and study habits of youth enrolled.

Principles of Effective Intervention
During the past two decades, there has been renewed interest in examining correctional research. These efforts have been led by researchers such as Gendreau, Andrews, Cullen, Lipsey and others. 9 Much evidence has been generated, leading to the conclusion that many rehabilitation programs have, in fact, produced significant reductions in recidivism. The next critical issue became the identification of those characteristics most commonly associated with effective programs. Through the work of numerous scholars (Andrews et al., 1990 10; Cullen and Gendreau, 2000 11; Lipsey 199912), several “principles of effective intervention” have been identified. These principles can be briefly categorized as the following:
• Assess Risk/Needs
• Enhance Intrinsic Motivation
• Target Interventions
o Risk Principle
o Needs Principle
o Responsivity Principle
o Dosage
o Treatment Principle
• Skill Train with Directed Practice
• Increase Positive Reinforcement
• Engage Ongoing Support in Natural Communities
• Measure Relevant Processes/Practices
• Provide Measurement Feedback
