COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

DATE:   AUGUST 22, 2023
DEPARTMENT: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
FROM:   LISA BRINTON, DIRECTOR
THROUGH: ROD POWELL, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR
BY:    MICHAEL ESPARZA, VISTA HOMELESS PREVENTION

COORDINATOR
TITLE:  2022-2023 AMERICORPS VISTA HOMELESS PREVENTION

COORDINATOR REPORT

RECOMMENDED MOTION:

No action is required. This is an administrative repo rt to the City Council on the activities performed and outcomes achieved by the 2022- 2023 Alisal Homeless Prevention Coordinator (AmeriCorps VISTA).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

In February 2017, the City Council approved a resolution authorizin g the execution of a Memorandum of Agreement (MA) for the placement of five (5) AmeriCorps Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) Members for a term of three (3) years. The City applied for a fourth VISTA year in May 2020, which was appr oved, and then qualified for tw o additional continuation years for 2021-2022 and 2022-2023.

Despite continued outreach and recruitment efforts, the City was able to successfully recruit and place only one (1) Homeless Prevention Coordinator (HPC), Michael Esparza, within its 6-year VISTA program. The objective of the HPC VISTA’s service is to actively explore and tackle poverty and homelessness-related issues within the Alisal through policy research and the identification of effective strategies and concep ts relative to housing and the City’s adoption of CoC CA-506's data-driven Lead Me Home action plan.

BACKGROUND:

AmeriCorps VISTA is the national service program designed specifically to fight poverty. Rather than providing cash grants, the VISTA program places volunteers with a sponsoring organization to engage in one (1) year of full-time service to create and expand prog rams designed to bring

Page | 2
individuals and communities out of poverty. Through capacity build ing activities such as grant writing, research, and volunteer recruitment, AmeriCorps members in the VISTA program gain experience and leadership skills while serving with the City of Salinas. In return for their dedicated service, AmeriCorps VISTA Me mbers receive a bi-weekly livi ng allowance, professional development, and an end-of-year service award in the form of an education or cash stipend.

In February of 2017, the Community Developmen t (CD) and Library and Community Services (LCS) Departments partnered to submit a Concept Paper and Application for the City of Salinas VISTA Program and was awarded with the opportuni ty to five (5) VISTA Members to facilitate programs and projects in support of its Econo mic Development Element (EDE) and Alisal Vibrancy Plan (AVP). For the first three (3) years of the pr ogram, VISTAs focused on capacity building activities in three (3) key areas – economic opportunity, education, and healthy futures.

In follow up to these initial year placements a nd work, the City then appl ied for a year four (4) continuation of its VISTA program in May 2020, pr ioritizing support for implementation of the AVP and seeking nexus opportunities for implementation of the Parks Recreation Library Master Plan (PRLMP), with ongoing suppor t to furthering the EDE. Year four (4) also resulted in the establishment of the Alisal Engagement Support Team comprised of the following five (5) positions:

 Alisal Homelessness and Preservation Coordinator
 Alisal Housing Production Coordinator
 Alisal Small Business Support Coordinator
 Alisal Healthy Lifestyles Coordinator
 Alisal Youth Development and Volunteer Coordinator

Based upon the success of its prior year activities, The City continued to apply for additional program years and in May 2021 received a year five award to continue its Alisal Housing Production Coordinator position. Then in May 2022 was awarded a sixth year, to eventually onboard an HP Coordinator.

DISCUSSION:

The City’s 2022-2023 HPC VISTA Member has a dvanced the following objectives through capacity building and indirect service activities:

 Development of a referral a nd tracking system for the Sa linas Outreach and Response Team to address internal referrals originat ing from the City’s Ad ministration, Police and Public Works Departments as well as CDD’s Code Enforcement Division.

Page | 3
 Facilitation of training for the Salinas Outreach and Response Team for receiving, tracking, and resolving a referral.
 Research of applicable policies and best prac tices related to the e ffective provision of homeless services response.
 Development of an annual City of Salinas Annual Homeless Report.  Facilitation, assistance, and support in the coordinati on of the Community Development Department ongoing efforts to secure additional homeless se rvices funding through the California Interagency Council on Homelessness and CoC CA-506,  Supportive participation in encampment outreach and engagement to promote the availability of emergency shelters during the 2023 Winter Flood Watch at Carr Lake and the subsequent Pineapple Express weather event.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:

Receipt of this VISTA report has no environmen tal impacts and does not c onstitute a project as defined by CEQA,
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

The City of Salinas VISTA Program has advanced key strategic initiativ es through indirect services and capacity building for the City and community organizations and aligns with the City of Salinas Strategic Plan 2022-2025 Goals a nd Strategies of Economic Development, Housing/Affordable Housing, Youth and Senior s, and effective and Culturally Responsive Government.

DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

Throughout the City’s six-year VISTA program, the City’s Community Development and Library and Community Services Departments have effectively collaborated on the initial development of the concept paper and all subsequent applications for additional years of service.

FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

The City’s annual financial obligation under the terms of the AmeriCorps MA includes an annual cost-share payment for two (2) of the five (5 ) VISTA members in an initial amount of $41,282.

Supportive funding of these costs derives from a general fund al location within CDD’s Advance Planning and Program Implemen tation Division budget. This am ount has been adjusted incrementally by AmeriCorps to reflect the numbe r of VISTAs serving in each program year as well as annual increases in the local cost of living.

TITLE: FORBES REINVENTING AMERICA SUMMIT 2024

RECOMMENDED MOTION:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City of Salinas hosted its first Forbes Reinviting America Summit in 2015 as part of its economic development efforts. Forbes wishes to partner with the City for its 5th annual summit in 2024. Staff request direction from Council with respect to the City’s participation in the event.

BACKGROUND:

The 1st Annual Forbes Reinventing America Summit was held in the City of Salinas on July 2015 and subsequent years with approximately 400-600 attendees from across the region and nationally.

The event took place on the 100 Block of Main Street with the Steinbeck Center used as an extension to allow for indoor and outdoor conference components.

While Forbes was the primary sponsor and responsible for the conference itself, it was incumbent upon the local entities to make arrangements for parts of the conference as well as arrangements for boarding, transportation, event design, and other conference logistics working alongside Forbes marketing team.

Annually, the City of Salinas contributed $250,000 for four consecutive years . Due to the pandemic which led to the cancellation of the 2019/20 Summit, the City’s contribution towards the summit was not expended by Forbes. Forbes has reached out to the City of Salinas expressing interest in hosting a 5th Annual Forbes Reinventing America Summit in the Spring of 2024.

City Administration is open to hosting the event, with the addition of a training component which would include collaboration with ALBA. ALBA’s participation in the summit can create Page | 2
opportunities for field laborer through land-based training in farm managed and help them advance their careers towards farm ownership. Additionally, the city, along with other local agriculture - based organizations will work together to enhance the laborers’ opportunities around business education, business management, workforce development and access.

Staff requests the City Council consider the City’s participation in the 5th Annual Forbes Reinventing America Summit.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:

Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

The Forbes AgTech Summit and continued collaboration with ALBA supports the City Council Goal of Economic Development by continuing to develop and Agriculture Technology Plan, engaging community to manage impacts to housing, community and jobs.

DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

Contingent upon City Council direction, the City Manager’s Office is committed to continue working in collaboration with all City departments, community organizations, and the community at large to plan a successful 2024 Forbes/ALBA AgTech Summit.

FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

No additional fiscal impact. Forbes retained the 2019/20 $250,000 city contribution and will utilize existing funds toward all planning efforts.

FROM: DAVID JACOBS, P.E., L.S., DIRECTOR
BY: ADRIANA ROBLES, PE, CFM, CITY ENGINEER

ELISE RAMIREZ, PE, SENIOR CIVIL ENGINEER
TITLE: PAVEMENT RESTORATION: POTHOLE REPAIR PLAN

RECOMMENDED MOTION:

1) Receive a presentation on Pavement Restoration: Pothole Repair Plan; and 2) Approve a Resolution prioritizing a street list for permanent pothole repair within each Council District.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Over the last 5 years, t he City of Salinas has experienced a rapid deterioration rate in roadway conditions. The current state of our roadways is the result of lack of pavement restoration projects, insufficient funding allocations, staffing shortages, and recent storms. All of these factors have caused many of the City’s roadways to require costly and extensive reconstruction. In 2021, the City’s Pavement Management Program estimated the funding required to repair the City’s roadways was $1.3 billion dollars. The recent Winter Storms of 2023 exacerbated the deteriorating pavement conditions as water-penetrating surface cracks caused pavement to break apart, crumble, and pop out, leaving what are commonly known as potholes. Potholes are unsightly, exacerbate roadway deterioration, and at times, dangerous . During the most recent winter months , Public Works maintenance records indicate a total of 1 2,374 pothole repairs were completed. These maintenance repairs consisted of short term, low-cost repairs consisting of clearing of debris and installing hot mix asphalt or a quick setting equivalent (Granite Patch) inside the pothole cavity .

The long-term solution to potholes is roadway reconstruction. Traditional permanent repairs are very costly and consist of grinding out the existing deteriorated pavement, replacing or recompacting the subgrade, and installing new hot mix asphalt.

In an effort to address the City’s roadways and mounting resident requests, City Council allocated $7.8 million dollars of the fiscal year (FY) 2022-2023 carry over fund balance towards pavement repairs for FY 2023-2024. Furthermore, Council r equested this one-time allocation be equally divided amongst the Council Districts. Therefore, each District will receive an allocation of $1.3 million dollars toward permanent pavement repairs.

The Public Works Engineering Division maintains a Pavement Management Program for long term pavement Captial Improvement Projects (CIPs). Given the extensive nature of the pothole Page | 2
repairs and at the request of Council, Public Works staff performed a full review of the existing pothole repair strategies within the Public Works Maintenance Division. The findings from this internal review are summarized in a Memorandum t itled: Pavement Restoration: Pothole Repair Plan (attached), and includes existing strategies, resources, funding, and recommendations.

Staff recommends utilizing the $7.8 million dollars allocated toward permanent roadway repairs for the streets most recurring within the pothole maintenance records . Furthermore, s taff recommends analysis of the six recommendations from the Pavement Restoration: Pothole Repair Plan Memorandum outlined in Section VII of the memorandum for implementation.

BACKGROUND:

Over the last 5 years, the City of Salinas has experienced a rapid deterioration rate in roadway conditions. The current state of our roadways is the result of lack of pavement restoration projects, insufficient funding allocations, staffing shortages, and recent storms. All of these factors have caused many of the City’s roadways to now require costly pavement reconstruction. In acknowledgement of this need, on August 18, 2020, the City Council approved a contract with Pavement Engineering Inc. for pavement condition surveys, updates to the Street Saver Pavement Management Program (PMP) database, and pavement condition reports (Resolution No. 21932).

Public Works Engineering staff utilizes the Street Saver PMP for project-level pavement analysis for creation of the annual pavement Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs) . It is also a budgeting and inventory tool, record for work history, and pavement condition tracking tool.

In 2021, the City’s Pavement Management Program Update estimated the funding required to repair all the City’s roadways was 1.3 billion dollars . This amount is far from the City’s annual allocation toward City street CIPs which typically receive approximately $5-$6 million dollars total. Although the City ma intains these specific funds and taxes dedicated to support ing City streets, the allocations specific to pavement restoration varies. Street CIPs and allocations include a range of street components, pavement restoration being one; however, street lighting, mandated ADA improvements, trees and tree maintenance , sidewalks, traffic signals, signage, traffic calming, striping, etc. all makeup our City’s streets projects. Therefore, the funding specifically set aside annually for City streets is not entirely synonymous with pavement restoration or rehabilitation projects. Overtime pavement deteriorates; therefore, constant pavement preventative maintenance projects should be expected, and full reconstruction and pavement life cycles are predictable.

Since the need for roadway reconstruction is so costly and the existing funding allocations insufficient to meet the needs and pavement deterioration rates, the City is ultimately left with two narrow options: (1) to perform mostly surface level preventative maintenance roadway CIPs and (2) to perform short term , pothole repairs along with some reconstruction during the summer months. The latter tasked performed with by the streets maintenance division.

The recent Winter Storms of 2023 exacerbated the deteriorating pavement conditions as water - penetrating surface cracks caused pavement to break apart, crumble, and pop out, leaving potholes.

Potholes are unsightly, exacerbate roadway deterioration, and at times, dangerous. Through May 2023, Public Works maintenance records indicate a total of 12,374 pothole repairs were completed.

These maintenance repairs consisted of a short term , low-cost patches which consist of clearing the pothole of debris and installing hot mix asphalt or a quick setting equivalent (Granite Patch).

In an effort to address the City’s roadways and mounting resident requests, City Council allocated $7.8 million dollars of the fiscal year (FY) 2022-2023 carry over fund balance towards pavement repairs for FY 2023 -2024. Furthermore, Council requested this allocation be equally divided amongst the Council Districts, leaving an estimated 1.3 million dollars per District.

It is estimated the main arterial roadways within the City’s respective Districts require a minimum of $4-$5 million dollars (for full reconstruction) per one mile of roadway1. This estimate does not allow staff to utilize the $1.3 million dollars to address any single full reconstruction arterial project known to be in need or to maintain the requirement for an equitable split of the $7.8 million dollars.

Therefore, staff is recommending the $1.3 million dollars allocated per District be utilized toward permanent roadway patch repairs for the streets most recurring within the pothole maintenance records of 2023. This approach will allow multiple deep patch repairs at the most recurring pothole locations and streets found within the maintenance records of 2023. In an effort to formulate the pavement restoration strategy, staff met with Council Members from each of the six districts. The table below is based on pothole repair logs and Council requests . Districts with out a Council request allowed staff to make recommendations based on the data collected.

The plan for the priority Streets is to do patch repairs on the priority 1 streets first 1, then move to priority 2 and if money is left move to priority 3 Streets.

Staff recommends approval of the priority streets for use of the $1.3 million dollars allocated from the FY 2022-2023 carry-over fund balance for the priority streets listed in Table 1.

It is important to note some streets that also appeared on the Pothole Repair Data Logs were: San Juan Grade Road, Eucalyptus Dr, E Boronda Rd (between N Main and San Juan Grade Road), E Boronda Rd (between Williams and N Sanborn Rd), and El Dorado Dr (between Boronda Rd and Harden Parkway) are all part of either the 2023 Pavement Project currently under construction or have been reconstructed by the Public Works Maintenance Division, therefore were not included in the recommended list.

At the request of Council, Public Works staff conducted a full review of the existing pothole repair practices within the Public Works Maintenance Di vision. The findings from this internal review are summarized in the Pavement Restoration: Pothole Repair Plan (attached), and include existing strategies, resources, funding, and recommendations. Staff recommends consideration of the six recommendations presented in Section VII of the Pavement Restoration: Pothole Repair Plan Memorandum for implementation. Implementation of these strategies will allow street maintenance crews more time to address pavement maintenance.

In the coming months, staff will bring forth a long-term pavement rehabilitation plan with policy to address the long-term strategies and data driven selection of streets based on pavement deterioration rates and annual funding allocations.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:

Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).

In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not s ubject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

This project relates to the Council’s Goals of Infrastructure and Environmental Sustainability and Public Safety by maintaining the City’s existing roadways.

Page | 5
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

The Public Works Department worked between its Engineering Division and Street Maintenance Division to assess the pothole strategies and prepare the Pothole Repair Plan Memorandum.

FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

Request $7.8 million of the carryover fund be transferred to CIP 9981 Pavement Improvements.

There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with the approval of street prioritization within each district. Costs associated with the construction for implementation of the pothole repair plan will be realized on a project basis and compensated using the CIP 9981 fund after transfer.

RE.: Pavement Restoration: Pothole Repair Plan

Pavement Restoration: Pothole Repair Plan

I. Potholes and why do they occur?

Potholes are pavement failures that create depressions in the pavement. Potholes begin through cracks in the pavement. Cracks allow water to seep into the roadway. This water creates pockets in the base and subbase layer s of the pavement. As temperatures fluctuate, the water expands and contracts weakening the pavement layers. This allows the stress caused by traffic loads to break apart pavement. During the months of December 2022 and March 2023, the City of Salinas experienced the highest rainfall over the past five years, with a total recorded rainf all of 12.7 inches. This rainfall compounded with low temperatures1 allowed for more pavement failures and potholes to occur.

On March 16, 2021, the Salinas City Council was presented the Pavement Management System Update and Pavement Conditions Report. The City of Salinas’ overall average pavement condition index was 55, or poo r, based on pavement conditions observed in 202 0. The report highlighted deferred maintenance and lack of funding for pavement maintenance.

Given the overall pavement conditions, the unprecedented rainfall, and the low temperatures experienced this winter, the creation and multiplication of potholes was inevitable. To date staff has repaired 12,374 potholes for 2023, compared to 3,912 potholes in 2022 and 5,017 potholes in 2021.

II. Current pavement restoration strategies

Potholes are repaired as part of the maintenance functions of the Streets Maintenance Division of Public Works . Using the Q -Alert system, maintenanc e staff respond to pothole locations, placing either Granite patch or hot mix asphalt, an industry standard, to repair the pothole. Staffing the Streets Division has been a challenge. Vacancy in the divisi on has led to incomplete crews and the inability to expand work capabilities. Currently, the single crew will divide their workweek schedule betwee n assisting contractors of th e 50-50 sidewalk repair program with asphalt patching, pothole re pair (Q -Alerts), roadway reconstruction, crack sealing, equipment maintenance, assistance with special events, and assistance to other divisions or emergency responses. Pavement preservation has been the task of Engineering (CIP) Division of Public Works. Preservation has taken the form of slurry sealing, chip sealing and reconstruction.

Pavement Restoration: Pothole Repair Plan
July 2023

Currently, Streets Maintenance has begun reconstruction of some of the lowest rated residential streets. By focusing on residential streets, pavement reconstruction can be more efficient as this requires less traffic control, and the crew can work with fewer disruptions.

Maintenance, rehabilitation, and preservation of pavements is generally funded by SB1, Measure X and gas tax. These funds also fund other functions and programs of the City of Salinas.

III. Pavement Restoration Plan - Resources

In order to develop a pavement restoration pla n that will work consistently give n the staffing fluctuations, the Public Works department must seek alternative strategies to current division functions. This must begin by focusing the effort of the Streets Maintenance staff to street maintenance.

During FY2022-2023, a total of 28 50-50 sidewalk repair permits were issue d. Many of which requiring assistance from the streets crew to patch asphalt following sidewalk, driveway, and curb repairs. A typical asphalt patch (~20 -ft) would take the streets crew up to four hours to replace .

As par t of a review of the 50 -50 sidewalk repair program, patching of the roadway (tie-ins) following repairs should be placed on the contractor conducting the work.

Also in FY2022-2023, the streets crew provided assistance to 26 special events. This assistance at times required multiple days to set up and break down traffic control, signage, or roadway closures. Together the streets crew dedicated approximately 3-4 weeks of work to special events.

In order to relieve the maintenance crew of special events r esponsibilities, event organizers should be required to provide their own traffic control or funding needs to be appropriately allocated to contract the traffic control of special events to an on-call contractor.

Street maintenance crews also assist in installation of traffic calming measures and street signage installations requested by the Traffic Division.

IV. Pavement Restoration Plan – Funding

Current pavement conditions have allowed for an influx of funding not previously allocated to pavement. $1M to the Stree ts Division and $3M to the CIP Division were appropriated fo r pavement from the ARPA fund s. Additionally, $7.8M of unspent FY2022-2023 General Funds were appropriated to pavement restoration. This will add to the funds normally appropriated in the CIP budget to the pavement funds (9981 and 9234). Moving forward staff will continue to advocate for additional funding to be dedicated to pavement restoration.

V. Pavement Restoration Plan – Addressing Potholes

As part of this year’s appropriation of unspent FY2022 -2023 general funds, each council district will receive ~$1.3M. CIP staff is proposing to maximize the use of these funds by addressing pothole repair. Staff proposes contracting for base repair on the arterials and collectors with the greatest need in each district. In some cases, deviations from this strategy will be made at the request of Councilmembers . Staff will request additional funding in the coming budget year to slurry roadways segments that are receiving base repair as part of the pothole repair.

In the early fall, prior to the start of the rainy season and cooler weather, the streets maintenance crews will dedicate significant effort to crack sealing. A robust and annual survey of all city streets and crack sealing of all cracks would significantly reduce the city’s susceptibility to potholes.

Pavement Restoration: Pothole Repair Plan
July 2023

In the spring, as weather allows, the streets maintenance crew will dedicate their efforts to pothole repair. Again, a robust and systematic effort to survey all city streets and address all potholes would significantly impact the pavement conditions. This may come in a district-by-district effort that may expand multiple weeks.

VI. Pavement Restoration – Reconstruction/Management

Public Works CIP staf f is working with Pavement Engineer Inc. on an update of the Pavement Management System which will provide the current Pavement Condition Index and on a policy for addressing pavement management. The policy will incorporate the need for prioritizing roadway maintenance based on data-driven process, funding options for a sustainable program and the need for addressing utility cuts which weaken roadway pavements (a moratorium).

VII. Pavement Management Plan

As illustrated in the 2021 Pave ment Management System Update presentation to Council, full replacement of roadway pavements would require a $1.3B appropriatio n. The cost would be reduced with increasing street crew staffing and funding. As neither the required funding nor the staffing can be secured, staff is proposing the following recommendations.

1. Update the 50 -50 Sidewalk Repair Program to require contractors to also perform the required asphalt roadway patch required with sidewalk, curb, or driveway improvements.

2. Modify the Special Events program to require applicants to provide the required traffic control or to reimburse the funding of a traffic control contractor managed by the City.

3. Adjust street maintenance crew schedules to focus maintenance efforts on activities which will better serve the city by focusing on crack sealing in the fall and pothole repair in the spring.

4. Continue pavement reconstruction of residential streets by the Streets Division with assistance by on-call contractors, as allowed by funding.

5. Secure adequate funding annually to provide annual pavement preservation projects (slurry seals and chip seals) of roadways based on the prioritization set by the Pavement Management policy.

6. Secure adequate funding annually to address base repairs and reconstruction of arterials and collectors based on the prioritization set by the Pavement Management policy.

CITY OF SALINAS

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

DATE: AUGUST 22, 2023
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
FROM: DAVID JACOBS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
BY: ADRIANA ROBLES, CITY ENGINEER
TITLE: SPECIAL CURB MARKING POLICY UPDATE

RECOMMENDED MOTION:

A motion to approve the Proposed Salinas Blue Curb Markings Policy and to adopt an Ordinance amending Article VI of Chapter 20 (Stopping, Standing and Parking) of the Salinas Municipal Code.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

On March 21, 2023, the Salinas City Council approved a Resolution for a residential blue curb zone request and requested staff to review the blue curb marking policy to establish criteria that would allow for approval of requests in residential areas to better accommodate disabled residents.

City staff surveyed other City policies and compiled relevant data for the Council’s consideration.

Staff recommends the approval the Proposed Salinas Blue Curb Markings Policy and the adoption of an ordinance amending Article VI of Chapter 20 (Stopping, Standing and Parking).

BACKGROUND:

At its March 21, 2023, meeting the City Council reviewed a request for a one accessible blue zone at 1224 Hawaii Place. The request did not meet the City’s existing policy, and therefor was recommended to be denied. The City Council deliberated the item and resolved to approve the request for one blue accessible zone designation at 1224 Hawaii Place and requested staff to review the blue curb marking policy to establish criteria that would allow for approval of similar requests to better accommodate disabled residents (Attachment 1).

City staff researched the blue curb markings policies in other cities to help inform the policy update. In total the City was able to compile blue curb markings policies from sixteen (16) other cities for comparison. A comparison table (Attachment 2) was created to juxtapose the policy requirements of each agency.

The City’s existing policy for the consideration of blue zone curb markings (Attachment 3), wa s adopted August 15, 2006 via Resolution No. 19056. Blue curb markings prohibit stopping, standing, or parking except for disabled persons as permitted by the California Vehicle Code. The City’s existing policy established the following criteria:

1. Off-street parking facilities for the residential property do not exist. The property does not have a garage, driveway, or other on-site parking space that can be provided for the disabled member of the household; or

2. On-street parking is unavailable. This criterion requires that the site be located adjacent to a school, apartment, and/or other businesses that consume on -street residential parking supply; and

3. The path of travel from the proposed on -street parking stall to the home meets ADA/Title 2 path of travel requirements.

4. Proof that the disabled resident has a permanent disabled placard on file; and

5. Signed statement acknowledging applicant understands that the on -street disabled parking requested can be used by other residents in the community that have a disabled placard.

After receiving feedback from the Council at its March 21, 2023, meeting and after conducting a survey of other city policies, staff recommends a Proposed Salinas Blue Curb Markings Policy and an ordinance amending Article VI of Chapter 2 0 (Stopping, Standing and Parking). The revised policy will require the following criteria:

1. A Complete Signed Application and Waiver Liability Form: An applicant must submit a complete Special Parking Restrictions Requests Form with a signed liability waiver.

Incomplete, applications will be returned to the applicant with notes for correction. If an applicant fails to complete the application the request will be denied.

2. Proof of a permanent disabled placard: Applicant must possess a valid State issued permanent disable plate or placard. Proof can be provided by submitting a copy of supporting documentation issued by the DMV. Temporary disability placards are not eligible for the installation of a blue curb markings.

3. Proof of Residence: This criterion requires that the applicant demonstrate they are a resident of the requested address. The address must be a single-family residence. Proof can be provided by submitting a copy a utility bill, state issued ID, or rental agreement.

4. Description of the situation that validates the need. This criterion requires that the applicant describe the situation. The applicant will demonstrate that all other options for off-street parking have been exhausted.

5. Payment: The applicant must submit paym ent in accordance with the City of Salinas City-wide Fee schedule for the given fiscal year. The applicant must provide the initial payment for “the one -time set -up” fee and an annual renewal costs per location to refresh the curb markings.

To improve operational efficiencies and reduce program cost, the new policy proposes delegating the authority to approve or deny the request for curb markings to the City Engineer. Notifications of the approval will be provided to neighboring properties. Residents will have twenty-eight (28) calendar days to appeal the decision to the Traffic and Transportation Commission following mailing of the notification. Submitted appeals shall: 1) be in writing and addressed to the City of Salinas Traffic and Transportation Commission; 2) provide grounds for the appeal specifying how the decision is not in alignment with this policy; and 3) include a recommended alternative action.

The new policy will grant the Traffic and Transportation Commission the authority to approve or deny the appeal. Appeals to the Traffic and Transportation Commissions approval or denial will be heard by the City Council.

In evaluating options to update the special curb marking policy, staff analyzed other city policies and identified opportunities for efficient procedures. The goal was to update the blue curb marking policy to better accommodate disabled residents . The proposed policy also reduces operational inefficiencies and program costs.

Updates to the Ordinance are listed below:

1. Update Article numbering.

2. Delete references to Parking meters previously repealed by Council.

3. Add Establishment of parking zones
a. Grant authority to the City Engineer to maintain and establish curb markings. b. Move Curb markings regulations to this section.

4. Delete Bus zones

5. Update Parking time limited hen signs duly posted.

6. Delete Parking prohibited 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. when signs duly posted; removal of cars.

7. Update Parking prohibited when signed duly posted; Removal of vehicles. a. Grant authority to the Chief of Police to remove vehicles.

8. Delete Parking prohibited on certain streets between 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.

9. Add Traffic and Transportation Commission authority.

Traffic and Transportation Commission

At its June 8, 2023, meeting, the Traffic and Transportation Commission voted (3-2) on revised motion to recommend to Council approval of the Special Curb Markings Policy with the removal of the fees for applicants of blue curb markings and adding an appeal process to th e policy.

Commissioners Cox, Howell and Canseco voted in favor of the revised recommended motion.

Commissioners Quigley and Gonzalez Reyes voted against the revised recommended motion.

The proposed policy incorporates the Traffic and Transportation Commiss ion’s recommendation to define an appeal process. Staff is dedicated to full cost recovery and therefore does not recommend waiver of the fees associated with the curb markings applications. Fees are currently set at $914.00 for the initial setup and $318.50 for annual maintenance. Fees are adjusted annually consistent with the Citywide Schedule of Fees and Charges for City Services.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:

Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).

In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

This action supports the Council’s initiative of “Youth and Seniors”.

FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

The proposed policy update would have no impact to the General Fund. The applicant’s request would not be subsidized by the community. The proposed policy requires that the applicant fund the cost to install and maintain requested curb markings.

Under California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 21458(a)(5), blue curb markings may be installed on a city street to designated parking space for the sole use of vehicles bearing a special handicap license plate or displaying an appropriate placard. It is important to note that the installation of blue curbs markings decreases the amount of available on-street in residential neighborhoods where there may be high parking demand.

Residents may submit an app lication to the City for the installation of a blue curb markings on their street. In an effort to be fair and consistent with each request the City has developed thi s policy with uniform criteria for considering when to install blue curb markings on resi dential streets. More specifically, this policy is intended to ensure the applicant has a valid permanent disabled persons placard, and that the private residence lacks an adequate driveway.

I. Application

EXHIBIT A
I:\PWTra\Policy-Disabled blue Parking Zone-Residential2023 UPDATE DISABLED PARKING (BLUE) ZONES AT RESIDENTIAL STREETS_REV 2

This c riterion requires that the applicant demonstrate they are a resident of the requested address. The address must be a single- family residence. Proof can b e provided by submitting a copy a utility bill, state issued ID, or rental agreement . If the applicant is a renter, the owner must also provide a letter of concurrence with the request.

4. Description of the Situation that validates the need.

This cr iterion requires that the applicant describe the situation. The applicant will demonstrate th at all other options for off-street parking have been exhaust ed.

Locations with driveways over fourteen ( 14) feet wide shall not be eligible for blue curb markings under this policy.

III. Consideration
The City Engineer will approve or deny a request for on-street accessible parking based on the information gathered during the evaluation process. The City Engineer, at his or her discretion, may examine other considerations not part of this Policy’s criteria.

Results of these considerations may become the basis to approve or deny the request.

The decision of the City Engineer is final unless appealed to the Traffic and Transportation Commission. If the request for on-street accessible parking is approved by the City Engineer, staff will mail a letter to all residents on the block to inform them of the installation.

IV. Appeals
A decision to approve or deny the request may be appealed to the Traffic and Transportation Commission. The applicant or a neighboring resident on the street may appeal the decision.

The limits of the blue curb markings will be marked in the field by Public Works staff for proper installation.

VI. Annual Renewal
The City will schedule annu al maintenance of the blue curb markings following an annual renewal confirmation from the applicant. The City will mail notices to the I:\PWTra\Policy-Disabled blue Parking Zone-Residential2023 UPDATE DISABLED PARKING (BLUE) ZONES AT RESIDENTIAL STREETS_REV 2

applicant beginning in May of each year to determine if the applicant wishes to maintain the curb markings and requesting confirmation. A series of 3 notices will be issued to the applicant and if no response is received by June 30 th, the curb markings will be scheduled for removal.

CITY OF SALINAS

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

DATE: AUGUST 22, 2023
DEPARTMENT: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
FROM: LISA BRINTON, DIRECTOR
BY: COURTNEY GROSSMAN, PLANNNG MANAGER
TITLE: 2022 COMMERCIAL CANNABIS INDUSTRY ANNUAL UPDATE

RECOMMENDED MOTION:

Receive and accept the 2022 Commercial Cannabis Industry Update as required by the Salinas Municipal Code.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This report provides a summary of the cannabis industry activity in Salinas for the 2022 calendar year. The 2021 annual report noted a stabilization of some of Salinas’s main cannabis businesses; however, there were challenges related to tax payments for cultivation businesses and delays in businesses becoming operational due to site sele ction issues and other limitations. 2022 had a similar trend of certain businesses remaining stable and profitable while others were delayed in becoming operational. Salinas currently has nine (9) operational businesses as of the end of 2022, as detailed in Table 3 below. In 2022, Cannabis businesses generated approximately $1.5 million in tax revenue, which represents a reduction in tax revenue by about 25 percent from 2021. The reduction is the result of several industry challenges, including the economy, market conditions and inflation, over production and reductions in price per pound, a reduction in cultivation and manufacturing tax rates during the first quarter of 2023, and permitted cannabis businesses not becoming operational. This report also outlines recommended Salinas Municipal Code (SMC) and regulatory amendments related to the incorporation of commercial cannabis uses into the SMC, the siting of commercial cannabis businesses, and the collection of annual monitoring fees. It is anticipated that an ordinance amendment will be forthcoming to the City Council for consideration this Fall.

BACKGROUND:

Operational cannabis businesses began in 2017. Permitting occurs through various application rounds and includes a broad variety of commercial cannabis business types. Table 1 below provides a summary of significant state and local milestones in the development of the cannabis industry.

Page | 2
Table 1: State and Local Cannabis Industry Milestones
Date Event

Fourteen permits are not approved.

June 2017 California passes Medicinal and Adult-Use Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA) implementing Proposition 64
August 2017 City adopts revisions to commercial cannabis ordinance. Distribution and Testing Laboratories are added as allowable businesses through Administrative Permits. Number of Permits increases from 12 to 23 (5 each for Cultivation, Dispensary, Distribution, and Manufacturing; 3 for Delivery). No maximum number of Administrative permits.

October 2017 City accepts revised permit applications from commercial cannabis businesses th at were not approved in the previous permitting round. Thirteen permit reapplications are received in this “Round 1B” of permitting.

November 2017 City adopts revisions to commercial cannabis ordinance allowing businesses to participate in the adult-use market. Other changes made to streamline processes and align local laws with MAUCRSA.

November 2017 California releases regulations implementing MAUCRSA December 2017 City issues 11 additional permits, bringing the total number of permits issued by the City to 20 January 2018 Proposition 64 takes effect – adult-use cannabis is legal. California begins issuing temporary licenses to businesses.

May 2018 City adopts Ordinance modifying processes for Nurseries and R&D businesses and lowering tax for Nursery-type Cultivation from $15 to $2 per square foot December 2018 City transfers management of commercial cannabis business permitting from the Economic Development Division to the Community Development Department January 2019 City adopts ordinance extending the allowed hours of operation for cannabis dispensaries and allowing for sales on Sundays

October 2022 City reduces cannabis manufacturing and cultivation tax rates to be more in line with best practices. Manufacturing rates reduced from 5% to 2.5% of gross receipts and cultivation reduced from $15 to $7 of growing area.

No applications were accepted in 2022

City Jurisdiction of Commercial Cannabis Business Permitting In December of 2018, responsibility over commercial cannabis business permitting was transferred from the Economic Development Division to the Community Development Department (CDD).

This change was intended to improve efficiency by assigning permitting responsibility to the department best suited to manage the various needs of commercial cannabis businesses, such as building permits, inspections, and review/issuance/renewal of commercial cannabis permits.

The Community Development Department contracts with Rincon Consultants, Inc. to assist with cannabis-related tasks. A Rincon staff member spent one day per week on-site with City planning staff from December 2018 to July 2020, servi ng as the primary point of contact for current and prospective commercial cannabis permit-holders and assisting the Planning Manager concerning the permitting and regulation of the industry. This long -term staffing consistency has resulted in improved comm unication between the permitted businesses and the City as well as improved record-keeping regarding permits and fee collection. In July 2020 , a new Rincon staff member took over cannabis -related tasks. Due to the COVID -19 pandemic and remoteness of the ne w Rincon staff member, there were minor delays in permit renewals and fee collections until the end of 2020. 2021 and 2022 saw permit renewals and fee collections become more streamlined.

Commercial Cannabis Business Permitting
The City issues two types of commercial cannabis business permits: Commercial Cannabis Permits (CCP) and Administrative Permits (AP). CCPs are applicable to Cultivation, Delivery, Dispensary, Distribution, and Manufacturing. Administrative Permits are applicable to Testing Laboratories, Small Distribut ion (business premises under 500 square feet), Research and Development Facilities, and Nurseries.

The State of California has identified 20 different subtypes of cannabis businesses, organized by license type. Each commercial cann abis business type, as defined by the City, corresponds to a specified State license. The following chart lists the commercial cannabis business types recognized by Salinas, along with the corresponding state license and a description of th at type’s role in the industry.

Commercial Cannabis Permits
The City allows for issuance of a maximum of 23 Commercial Cannabis Permits (CCPs). Because the available permits are limited, the City accepts applications only during designated “rounds”, allowing for applicants to competitively vie for permits. The City has conducted four such rounds:

Round 1 in June 2016; Round 1B in October 2017 (r eapplication for applicants that were denied in Round 1); Round 2 in September 2019 ; and Round 3 in September 2020 . Applications are reviewed by the Cannabis Selection Committee, which is made up of one staff member from five different City departments. Th e City received one CCP application in Round 3 because only Cultivation permits were available due to the full permit quotas. In 2021, the Selection Committee approved the Cultivation business that was received during Round 3 as well as a Manufacturing and Distribution CCP that went through a resubmittal process from Round 2. No designated rounds of CCP applications were held during 2021 due to the limited number of available permits.

2022 COMMERCIAL CANNABIS INDUSTRY REPORT:

Each CCP stipulates that a b usiness must begin commercial cannabis business operations within one year of the date in which the permit is granted. Previous policies allowed applicants who do not meet this deadline to be able to apply for a permit amendment to grant a single 90 -day extension. Subsequently, a permit was able to be amended for a second time only by a Cannabis Selection Committee vote for an indefinite extension . The City is no longer granting indefinite extensions. At the end of 2022 and continuing into 2023 the City will be notifying inactive permit holders that their permits will be revoked unless substantial action is taken within a timeframe to make permits available for other interested businesses. Table 3 below shows permit quotas, active permits (permits for busin esses that are either in operation or working towards operation), and operational businesses as of July 2023.

Table 4 below shows the current status of the 19 businesses that have been awarded a CCP and are currently either operational or pursuing operational status. Nine (9) businesses are operational and are in compliance, and 11 businesses are not operational. Of the 11 businesses not in operation, only 5 have recent activity towards progress on their business. Therefore, 2023 will be focused on making permits available to other business owners.

Administrative Permits
Unlike CCPs, there are no limits on how many administrative permits can be issued for commercial cannabis businesses. Administrative permits can be applied for at any time and do not require review by the Cannabis Selection Committee. Obtaining and maintaining an administrative permit is considerably simpler and less expensive in comparison to the CCP process. However, applicants for administrative permits must also obtain a state license. Table 5 below shows the administrative permits that have been issued and remain active (business is operational or is working towards operational status). There were no administrative permit submittals in 2022.

Impacts on City Resources
In September 2017, the Council adopted monitoring fees to compensate the City for the ongoing costs relating to monitoring of commercial cannabis businesses and enforcement of regulations.

These fees are intended to cover services for which fees are not typically charged, and that would go beyond the services typically rendered to businesses. Monitoring fees are first charged prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy and are subsequently charged annually as part of the permit renewal process. Monitor ing fees are collected for three City departments: Community Development, Police, and City Attorney. In addition, a monitoring fee is charged to cover the cost for a third party regulatory and financial assessment of the businesses . Table 6 shows monitoring fee rates and Table 7 shows the total monitoring fee payments received in 2022.

Table 6. Salinas Cannabis Monitoring Fee Rates
Monitoring Department Monitoring Fee Rate Per Permit (2020) Community Development Department $2,314.00
Police Department $8,690.75
City Attorney’s Office $759.00
Financial Consultant Varied based on business type and revenue; between $5,770 and $16,480*

Police $78,216
Community Development Department $20,826
Page | 8
City Attorney’s Office $6,831
Financial Consultant $63,951 (estimate)
Total: $169,824

As shown above, approximately $169,824 in monitoring fees was collected in 202 2. The largest sum was collected to pay for the Police monitoring fees. The financial consultant monitoring fees are collected at-cost from the businesses. Future adjustments to monitoring fees may be needed to more appropriately allocate funds in accordance with staff demands. SCI Consulting Group took over auditing and permit assessments from MGO in 2023 . M onitoring fees will be changing slightly based on the new contract agreement. Additional fees collected during 2022 included over $13,644 in CCP renewal fees. These fees are intended to cover the cost of application processing.

Community Impacts
During 2021 there were no crimes reported related to cannabis businesses. In previous years crimes included transporting product without a license and embezzlement. No data for 2022 was available at the time of this report.

Tax Revenue from the Commercial Cannabis Industry
Measure L, adopted by the voters of Salinas in November 2016, requires certain commercial cannabis businesses to pay a commercial cannabis busine ss tax every quarter, beginning January 1, 2017. The original tax rates were scheduled to increase in 2020; however, in December 2019 Council voted to forgo the scheduled increase. At the October 18, 2022 , public hearing, Council voted for a manufacturing and cultivation tax reduction to bring the rate in line with other jurisdictions. The manufacturing and cultivation rates were reduced by half from 5 percent to 2.5 percent of gross receipts for manufacturing and $15 to $7 per square foot of growing area for cultivation. The rate reductions were implemented during the 4th Quarter of 2022 (September to December). All other rates remain the same. Table 8 lists the rates levied on each business type.

Taxes are not levied on the business types not listed.

Table 8. Cannabis Business Tax Rates
Business Type Current Rate
Delivery 5% of gross receipts
Dispensary 5% of gross receipts
Manufacturing 2.5% of gross receipts
Cultivation $7 per square foot
Nursery $2 per square foot

The Community Development Department coordinates with the Finance Department to monitor tax collection and the good standing of each business. Annual assessments previously were performed by MGO to provide detailed auditing of tax payments. Audits will now be performed by SCI Consulting who is currently in the process.

For the first time since the cannabis businesses become operational, tax revenue is falling. Tax revenue decreased by about 25 percent from 2021 to 2022, which is generally consistent with a Page | 9
reduction in statewide tax revenue during the same time frame. Monterey County is also seeing a reduction in cannabis operators and a reduction in cannabis tax revenue. There are multiple factors that could have led to this decrease, which are detailed i n the industry challenges section below.

One reason specific to the City could be the reduction of businesses in operation, the number of CCP holders that are not operational, and the tax rate reductions that occurred during the 4 th Quarter of 2022. All operational businesses are up to date on their tax payments. Table 9 below shows cannabis revenue by businesses that conducted commercial cannabis operations from 2018 through 2022. Table 10 compares tax revenue per quarter from 2018 through 2020.

Cannabis Industry Challenges
The following discussion is based on City staff experiences working on commercial cannabis business permitting, including input from consulting staff, interagency coordination, and discussions with permittees and applicants. In addition, it is based on recent news articles on the cannabis industry overall in the State. This analysis is anecdotal and has not been independently verified.

Many of the concerns identified in 2021 were still applicable in 2022 as there were no Municipal Code updates or changes to the processes. However, manufacturing and cultivation tax rates were reduced in the 4th quarter of 2022. Decreases in cannabis revenue collected by the City could be tied to several factors that are impacting cannabis business statewide as well as city -specific factors. These include but are not limited to:

 Economic challenges and inflation during the past year  Reductions in the price per pound of cannabis due to the growing of more product than there are storefronts to sell.
 Regulatory burdens from State and local levels
 Businesses with CCPs in Salinas not becoming operational  Competition with the illegal market, an issue directly reported from CCP holders  Reductions in tax rates in Quarter 4 2022

Recommended Municipal Code and Regulatory Updates
The following are recommended Salinas Municipal Code (SMC) and regulatory amendments related to the incorporation of commercial cannabis uses into the SMC, the siting of commercial cannabis businesses, and the collection of annual monitoring fees. It is anticipated that an Ordinance Amendment will be forthcoming to the City Council for consideration this Fall.

Salinas Municipal Code Updates

The Zoning Code currently does not address cannabis uses, and the current process for determining zoning compatibility involve s equating a cannabis use to a similar non -cannabis use. Adding cannabis uses to th e Zoning Code would improve transparency, consistency, and the ability of applicants to find the information that they need. If cannabis uses are not desired within the Zoning Code, then updates to SMC Section 5-07 could include what a typical land use a cannabis use is equated to improve clarity.

Siting of Commercial Cannabis Businesses

The City could also reconsider the restrictions that govern where commercial cannabis businesses may be located. The SMC places “sensitive use” restrictions on the siting of cannabis businesses including prohibiting cannabis businesses from being located within 1,000 feet of various sensitive uses, such as schools, parks, or alcohol sales. The restrictions have proven difficult for applicants to comply with or find suitable sites in the City. In particular, dispensary applicants are discouraged from commercial districts due to the prevalence of alcohol sales and are pushed into industrial locations. An appeal to the Planning Commission is often necessary to move forward. Existing Page | 11
dispensary operations have expressed that the industrial areas ar e not suitable for commercial dispensary operations due to the limited traffic flow in these areas and proximity to customers.

Reconsideration of sensitive use restrictions could allow for more appropriate and flexible siting of cannabis businesses. Because of the high degree of security required for these businesses and the continued improvement to odor abatement measures, security and nuisance issues related to sensitive use proximity may be less of a concern than was originally anticipated. Removal of alcohol sales as a classified sensitive use , or reducing the buffer distance, could provide more flexibility for cannabis businesses to operate on sites more sustainable for business operations.

Application and CCP Renewal Review Process

The City’s procedu re for receiving and reviewing CCP applications could be reconsidered. The SMC stipulates a Cannabis Selection Committee to review and award permits; however, limited detail is provided as to how the application rounds should be conducted. The competitive permitting process is complicated and unique from how other City permits are awarded, resulting in a lengthy and time-intensive process. The SMC could be revised to ensure consistency and best practices in future permitting rounds, or the City could consider an alternate method for awarding CCPs similar to the issuance of conditional use permits.

Monitoring fees for cannabis businesses (CCPs) are collected prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy, and then collected annually on the anniversary of t hat date in addition to the CCP renewal. With the increasing number of commercial cannabis businesses becoming operational, there is unnecessary complexity collecting and managing CCP renewals and monitoring fees that occur throughout the year. A single da te that applies to all operational cannabis businesses could make for simple tracking and monitoring, instead of dates throughout the year that are specific to each business in operation.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:

There is no action required with this report and therefore it is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378). Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

The City’s Cannabis furthers the City Council Goal of Economic Development : Sustain, encourage, and develop a diverse and thriving economy that benefits all Salinas residents and businesses and that contributes to the community’s economic health.

DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

The Community Development Department coordinates frequently with the City Attorney’s Office on matters related to commercial cannabis permitting. Additional coordination occurs with the Finance Department, Police Department, and Economic Development Department.

FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

As no action is required, there is no direct impact to the General Fund with the acceptance of th is report. While the re port includes discussion of tax revenue, it is not an independently verified financial reporting document, and should be used for informational purposes only.

BACKGROUND:

On September 30, 2021, Governor Newsom signed AB 481 – Military Equipment Funding, Acquisition, and Use into law. The Bill designated fifteen categories of police equipment items as military equipment. AB 481 required SPD to obtain approval of the City Council, by an ordinance adopting a military equipment policy, prior to any of the following activities:

1. Requesting military equipment made available pursuant to Section 2576a of Title 10 of the United States Code.

2. Seeking funds for military equipment, including, but not limited to, applying for a grant, soliciting or accepting private, local, state, or federal funds, in-kind donations, or other donations or transfers.

3. Acquiring military equipment either permanently or temporarily, including by borrowing or leasing.

4. Collaborating with another law enforcement agency in the deployment or other use of military equipment within the city limits.

5. Using any new or existing military equipment for a purpose, in a manner, or by a person not previously approved by the City Council pursuant to this chapter.

6. Soliciting or responding to a proposal for, or entering into an agreement with, any other person or entity to seek funds for, apply to receive, acquire, use, or collaborate in the use of, military equipment.

7. Acquiring military equipment through any means not identified above.

From January 1, 2022 forward, all new acquisitions of military equipment, as designated by AB 481, requires approval by City Council.

Information about AB 481 – Military Equipment Funding, Acquisition, and Use is available on the Police Department’s webpage and can be accessed at https://salinaspd.com/assembly-bill-481/.

The webpage contains the AB 481 defined list of police equipment deemed military equipment by numbered category and identifies each category of equipment SPD possesses. The webpage contains several links to additional information, including the full text of AB 481, the SPD Military Equipment policy, and the military equipment inventory currently in SPD’s possession. The webpage also contains a link to a webform where community members may ask questions, make comments, or voice concerns. Answers to those questions , and responses to the comments or concerns, are found by accessing another link. For those wishing to make a formal complaint, a link directs them to the complaint process webpage. SPD has and will continue to update this webpage as equipment inventory changes, and as usage and cost data is reported via the AB 481 Annual Reports. The webpage will remain accessible so long as military equipment is available for use.

On August 23, 2022, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2657 which added Article III to Chapter 27 of the Salinas Municipal Code pertaining to the military equipment use policy in compliance with Assembly Bill 481. Before adopting the Ordinance, the Council determined several factors:
1) The Military Equipment is necessary because there is no reasonable alternative that can achieve the same objective of officer and community member safety. 2) The proposed military equipment use policy will safeguard the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties.

Page | 3
3) If purchasing additional equipment, it is reasonably cost effective compared to available alternatives that can achieve the same objectives of officer and community member safety. 4) Use of Military Equipment complied with the Policy that was in e ffect at the time of the use, or if prior uses did not comply with the Policy, corrective action has been taken to remedy non-conformance and ensure future compliance.

After adoption of the Ordinance, SPD is required to take seek renewal of the Ordinance annually thereafter to continue using military equipment. SPD is required to submit to the governing body an annual military equipment report within one year of approval , and annually thereafter for as long as the military equipment is available for use. SPD is also required to hold a community engagement meeting where the public may discuss and ask questions about the AB 481 Annual Report.

As required by AB 481, codified in Government Code § 7072(a), SPD is submitting the 2022 AB 481 Annual Report t o City Council. The 2022 AB 481 Annual Report is posted on the SPD website and attached to this report. The report includes a summary of how the military equipment was used and the purpose of its use, a summary of complaints or concerns received concerning the military equipment, information regarding violations of the military equipment use policy, the total annual cost for e ach type of military equipment, and the quantity possessed for each type of military equipment. For the calendar year 2022 period, there were no reported violations of the military equipment use policy.

As required by AB 481, codified in Government Code § 7072(b), after releasing the annual military equipment report SPD is required to hold at least one well -publicized and conveniently located community engagement meeting, at which the general public may discuss and ask questions regarding the annual military equipment report and SPD’s funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment. The AB 481 Community Meeting was held on Thursday, August 10, 2023 from 6:00- 7:30pm at the SPD Community Room. The City’s Community Relations Manager coordinated Community Meeting publicity surrounding a Save the Date announcement, as well the release of the 2022 AB 481 Annual Report. Press releases were issued, the information and graphics were posted via the City and SPD social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter), information was posted using the City’s Next Door account, and information was distributed via GovDelivery. The Community Meeting Save the Date posts on Facebook and Instagram via the City and SPD accounts received 4,960 impressions, 4,581 reaches, and 79 post engagements. The Twitter Community Meeting Save the Date post received 880 views. The Annual Report posts on Facebook and Instagram via the City and SPD accounts received 2,783 impressions, 2,646 reaches, and 104 post engagements. The Twitter Annual Report post received 556 views, and the NextDoor post received 597 impressions. Within the 48 hours of release, the 2022 AB 481 Annual Report received just under 300 views. A total of seven community members attended the Community Meeting on August 10 th during which SPD staff remained available for the full 90 minutes to discuss the report and answer any questions related to AB 481.

As required by AB 481, codified in Government Code § 7071(e), City Council shall review any Ordinance at least annually and, subject to paragraph (2), vote on whether to renew the ordinance.

The referenced paragraph (2) states the governing body shall determine, based on the annual military equipment report submitted pursuant to Section 7072, whether each type of military Page | 4
equipment identified in the report has complied with the standards for approval set forth in subdivision (d). The referenced subdivision (d) references the requirement that the use of military equipment complied with the Policy that was in effect at the time of the use, or if prior uses did not comply with the Policy, corrective action has been taken to remedy non -conformance and ensure future compliance.

SPD contends the Ordinance, policy, and military equipment it possesses continues to meet all requirements set forth in AB 481 and has documented via the 2022 AB 481 Annual Report that there were no reported violations of the military equipment use policy. Given the information above, the department is requesting that City Council renew Ordinance No. 2657 ordinance as required by AB 481. The renewal of this Ordinance will allow SPD to continue using the vital equipment specified therein. Items deemed to be military equipment by AB 481 are used as a component of overall best practices for law enforcement agencies throughout the country. These tools have been utilized by SPD and other law enforcement agencies to enhance community and officer safety. Loss of these items would jeopardize the welfare of both our community and the peace officers within SPD.

The department is also requesting the approval to purchase AB 481 equipment to replace, replenish, and expand inventory as the result of an incident on May 31, 2023 . T he all-day incident involved a barricaded subject and resulted in the usage and destruction of AB 481 equipment and prompted an assessment of department inventory needs.

A total of five (5) unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) were destroyed of five (5) unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) and their associated equipment were destroyed during the incident on May 31st. The City successfully submitted an insurance claim totaling $85,100, and these funds that will be used for to purchase the following drones and equipment, as identified on the attached quotes: One (1) DJI Matrice 350 RTK with camera and spotlight, three (3) DJI Matrice 30T with speaker and spotlight, and two (2) DJI Mini 3 Combo with propeller guards. The price of the DJI Matrice 30T recently dropped by more than $4,000, so we are purchasing one more drone than was destroyed to increase our SPAS inventory.

We have secured three quotes from UVT totaling $59,392.46. Remaining insurance funds will be used to purchase future drones and/or maintenance items such as batteries.

During the incident on May 31, 2023, the SWAT Team utilized significant quantities of distraction devices and chemical agent/smoke canisters. This incident illustrated how quickly inventory can change, and given these items can have extended delivery timelines, we are replenishing inventory to ensure we have sufficient supplies for future incidents . Inventory is also utilized by new and existing SWAT Team members during ongoing training necessary to maintain specialized skills with this equipment. The SWAT Team also utilized less lethal 40mm launchers, and determined that we have a need for one additional launcher to allow team members to be stationed at alternate locations during an incident. For this reason, we are requesting the purchase of one additional 40mm launcher. We have secured a quote from LC Action totaling $ 37,650.55, for distraction devices and chemical agent/smoke canisters , as well as the additional 40mm launcher . Existing department appropriated General Fund will be utilized for these purchases.

There are no local vendors that sell this specialized equipment and supplies, and we have selected existing vendors with long and positive history serving law enforcement. The attached quotes total $97,043.01. Given the absence of local vendors, as well as the information provided, the C ity Council has the authority to approve this direct purchase under Salinas Municipal code Section12- Page | 5
27 and without application of the local purchasing preference pursuant to Salinas Municipal Code Section 12-28.080.

POLICE COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE:

The Chief Roberto Filice and Sergeant James Godwin initially presented AB 481 information to the Police Community Advisory Committee (PCAC) on March 30, 2022, and provided an update on July 27, 2022. At the July 26, 2023 meeting, PCAC members were told of the upcoming Community Meeting, were notified upon release of the 2022 AB 481 Annual Report, and two PCAC members attended the Community Meeting on August 1 0th. The department will also provide an update to PCAC at the next scheduled meeting on August 23, 2023.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:

Not a Project . The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

Renewing the proposed Ordinance and authorizing the purchase of equipment will support the City Council’s Strategic Plan Goal of Public Safety.

DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

The Police Department and Legal Department coordinated on the Ordinance and legal compliance with Assembly Bill 481, and the department will coordinate with the Finance Department during the purchasing process.

FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

Approving the renewal of Ordinance No. 2657 will have no direct fiscal impact on the City’s General Fund, Measure E or Measure G funds. Oversight, including administrative data collection and reporting, is completed by existing Salinas Police Department staff. No new funds are requested to support the purchases of the AB 481 equipment. Funds for the drones and associated equipment are available in the Police Vehicle Replacement account, 5800.40.9579 -66.5540, and the remaining equipment will be funded by the Patrol Division budget, accounts 1000.40.4220.

It also adds true vertical shooting, which is a feature that lets you rotate the gimbal 90° to film vertical shots that can be immediately shared on social media platforms.

Like the Mini 2, the Mini 3 captures stunning videos in 4K HDR, uses OcuSync

2.0 for a transmission range of up to 6.2 miles, and includes a host of automated functions to make piloting easier. This version of the Mini 3 gets you ready for a day of shooting with a DJI RC remote and the Fly More Combo bundle of accessories.

On August 23, 2022, the Salinas City Council approved an ordinance of the City of Salinas adding Article III to Chapter 27 of the Salinas Municipal Code pertaining to the Military Equipment Use Policy in compliance with Assembly Bill 481.

Annual Report

A law enforcement agency that receives approval for a Military Equipment Use Policy is required to submit to the governing body an Annual Military Equipment Report for each type of military equipment approved by the governing body within one year of approval and annually thereafter for as long as the military equipment is available for use.

It is also required that the annual report be made publicly available on th e department's website, and the department will hold at least one well -publicized and conveniently located community engagement meeting within 30 days of submitting and publicly releasing the Annual Military Equipment Report.

3 | P a g e

Introduction
The Salinas Police Department (SPD) provides law
enforcement services twenty -four hours a day, seven days a week, serving a city population of over 163,000. The daytime population of Salinas increases significantly, and on any given day our city’s businesses employ over 68,000 people.

The department is committed to de -escalating situations, and using force is reserved for instances where less intrusive options are not feasible. In 2022, the Salinas Police
Department responded to 112,820 calls for service and
90% of those calls had an officer on -scene in 4 minutes or less.

Salinas Police Department is committed to maintaining public safety by providing professional and responsive police services to the community we serve . To accomplish our
mission effectively and safely, the department possesses and utilize s certain specialized equipment ( defined in Assembly Bill (AB) 481 as military equipment) to protect our first responders and ensure that our community remains a safe and secure place to work, own a business, make a home, raise a family, or visit.

It is important to note that t he term military equipment as used in AB 481 does not necessarily indicate the equipment is, or has been used , by the military. Many items defined as military equipment by the bill are only used by law enforcement to preserve life and enhance public and officer safety while remaining prepared to handle the various lethal and non-lethal challenges facing our commu nity. The Department's policies regarding the use of equipment listed in AB 481 are consistent with overall best practices employed by police departments throughout the state of California and the country.

The Salinas Police Department recognizes the public’s ongoing interest in how military equipment is used to protect our community , and we are committed to maintaining our community’s trust. As such, the Salinas Police Department has authored the following comprehensive Annual Military Equipment Report to remain transparent with our community and in accordance with annual reporting requirements set forth by applicable California Law.

As we continue our effort to preserve the highest level of integrity that promo tes healthy internal relationships and strong community ties with the people of Salinas, remember that we are here to protect and serve all of you. We welcome your questions, comments, and feedback.

In service,

Roberto Filice, Police Chief

Summary of Military Equipment Usage and Costs

Police events and critical incidents are unpredictable and often dynamic. Availability and use of specific equipment is necessary for incident commanders, officers, and specialized units to resolve incidents safely and effectively. It is incumbent upon incident commanders, supervisors, individual officers, and specialized teams to recognize the circumstances wherein equipment should be deployed a nd to utilize within the confines of department policy and California state law. Each use of military equipment is reviewed to ensure it was used properly and justly, based on the totality of the circumstances, public safety, officer safety, civil rights, state and/or federal law, and information available at the time of use.

Items used by the Salinas Police Department that are considered military equipment under Assembly Bill 481 include, but are not limited to, emergency response equipment such as command vehicles and armored rescue vehicles, precision weapons such as rifles, unmanned aircraft systems, less lethal munitions, and other select items. The continued access to, and use of this equipment is vital in ensuring our officers have the appropriate tools necessary to de-escalate situations, preserve life, ensure safety for all people, and protect civil liberties.

Because the Department’s inventory of military equipment listed in AB 481 fluctuates, for this initial report we are reporting inventory as of July 31, 2022. Reasons for fluctuations can be due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, operational usage, operational deterioration, training, maintenance, expiration, and replenishment guidelines. For example, on May 31, 2023 several drones were destroyed by a barricaded subject.

The AB 481 A nnual Report includes total annual cost for each type of military equipment, including acquisition, personnel, training, transportation, maint enance, storage, upgrade, and other ongoing costs.

Below is an explanation of the specific annual costs included or excluded within this report:

Acquisition
When inventory indicates multiple items, the most recent per item acquisition cost is listed, inclusive of sales tax and shipping . If purchased as part of a bundle or combo, that cost is reported. If equipment acquired in the past lacks readily available purchasing documentation, the acquisition cost and/or funding source may be reported as unknown. For the purpose of this report, accessories which are not a required component related to the functioning of AB 481 equipment are not included, such as slings, sights, cases, etc.

Personnel
Due to the size of the Salinas Police Department , the department does not have personnel dedicated solely to AB 481 equipment. Training is more general in nature and not limited to only AB 481 items, and staff who maintain this and other equipment do so as a n additional assignment. Given these circumstances, it would b e difficult if not impossible to accurately capture the personnel costs related to AB 481 equipment.

6 | P a g e

Training
Expenditures that are specific to AB 481 training equipment, such as training kits for the 40mm less lethal launchers, are reported.

Transportation
Shipping costs will be included as part of the most recent per item acquisition cost.

Maintenance
Items specific to the maintenance or operation of AB 481 equipment are included in this report. Examples would be replacement batteries that are required for proper functioning of UAS (drones) and robots, vehicle maintenance/repair costs, or outside vendor costs necessary to maintain AB 481 equipment.

Storage
There are no additional storage costs because all AB 481 equipment is stored on-site.

Upgrades
Upgrades that impact the functionality of the equipment, such as new barrels, stocks, etc. will be reported.

Other Ongoing Costs
Any annual costs not included in the categories above will be reported.

Military Equipment Categories

Assembly Bill 481 created Government Code 7070 which designated 15 categories of items deemed, “military equipment.” Full text is at Bill-Text-AB-481.pdf (salinaspd.org).

The Salinas Police Department has equipment that meets the criteria of Military Equipment in nine (9) of the fifteen (15) categories. They include categories 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, and 14 listed here in this report.

Defense Technology T.K.O. Frangible Breaching Round

Manufacturer: Defense Technology
Description: This is a 12 -gauge frangible breaching round designed to defeat door hinges and locking mechanisms to be used with a special attachment to the barrel. Frangible rounds disintegrate upon impact making penetration through a barrier less likely.

Manufacturer Description: The 12-Gauge TKO Breaching Round is a 12-Gauge shell loaded with a compressed zinc slug, utilizing smokeless powder as a propellant.

Capabilities: This is a widely used method to breach door locks or hinges for entry during tactical operations. When properly deployed, th e TKO is capable of defeating door lock mechanisms, doorknobs, hinges, dead bolts, safety chains, and pad locks on both wooden or hollow core doors. Upon impact with the target, the zinc slug disintegrates into a fine powder eliminating fragmentation/making penetration through a barrier less likely.

Purpose: Used to defeat locks, deadbolts, and hinges. Utilized in high -risk incidents to expeditiously gain access to a fortified location and/or rapidly open barricaded doors during critical incidents.

Royal Arms Breaching Rounds

Manufacturer: Royal Arms
Description: Designed to defeat door hinges and locking mechanisms , f rangible rounds disintegrate upon impact making penetration through a barrier less likely.

Manufacturer Description: A breaching round is specially made for door breaching. It is typically fired at a range of 6 inches (15 cm) or less, aimed at the hinges or the area between the doorknob and lock and doorjamb, and is designed to destroy the object it hits and then disperse into a relatively harmless powder.

Capabilities: Frangible slugs defeat doors effectively breaching hinges or door locks for quick entry during tactical operations. The powdered steel -based product breaks up on impact, meaning a slug or other projectile doesn't penetrate the door. This limits the possibility of collateral damage on the other side.

Purpose: Used to defeat locks, deadbolts, and hinges. Utilized in high -risk incidents to expeditiously gain access to a fortified location and/or rapidly open b arricaded doors during critical incidents. Breaching rounds from Royal Arms listed below various grains.

“Flash-Bang” grenades and explosive breaching tools, “tear gas,” and “pepper balls,” excluding standard, service -issued handheld pepper spray
Equipment Type: Flash-Bang | Noise Flash
Definitive Section: CA Gov’t Code Section 7070(c)(12)
Description and Equipment Capabilities: Canisters containing non -lethal chemical agents and/or smoke that are released when deployed.

This device is ideal for distracting dangerous people during high -risk situations during SWAT operations. Chemical agent and smoke canisters have a variety of individual capabilities and applications. Chemical agent and smoke canisters carry the agent into the environment in a variety of methods, including but not limited to powder, a liquid mist, smoke, pyrotechnic devices, and vapor aerosols. Exposure to chemical agents normally causes no lasting effects.

This equipment has indoor and outdoor capabilities and uses.

Authorized Use | Purpose: The use of force by law enforcement personnel is a matter of critical concern, both to the publ ic and to the law enforcement community. Officers are involved on a daily basis in numerous and varied interactions and, when warranted, may use reasonable force in carrying out their duties.

Generally, light/sound diversionary devices may be considered w henever the use of a diversion would help facilitate entry, enabling arrest and potentially reducing the risk of injury.

Circumstances for the use of light/sound diversionary devices shall include, but not limited to:
▪ Barricaded suspect and/or hostage situations
▪ High-Risk warrant services
▪ To distract a violent person, mentally deranged persons or persons believed to be under the influence of alcohol/drugs and necessary to facilitate apprehension ▪ When the Tactical Commander or Team Leader deems their use nec essary to safely resolve an incident
Prior to deploying light/sound diversionary devices, SWAT personnel shall consider all available intelligence information and circumstances (i.e. presence of small children or elderly persons, etc.). Circumstances may d ictate that deployment of the device inside the objective is not an option. In these circumstances deployment will occur outside of the objective.

In all cases, light/sound diversionary devices shall be deployed in an area visible to the deploying officer. The deploying officer will not throw the device at anyone.

56 | P a g e

Due to the fact light/sound diversionary devices have the potential to ignite flammable materials, a portable fire extinguisher should be readily accessible whenever these devices are deployed. In any situation a light/sound diversionary device is deployed, all S.W.A.T. members in the area should wear Nomex hoods and gloves.

Generally, these devices will not be used solely for the preservation of evidence. The Tactical Commander shall review the us e of light/sound diversionary devices, as soon as practical, following each incident or operation to ensure the devices were used according to policy and that the devices functioned properly. All information obtained shall be used for statistical and training purposes.

Applicable Policies for Authorized Use: Except in emergencies (i.e. life threatening situations), light/sound diversionary devices shall not be used without prior authorization of the Tactical Commander or Team Leader. Applicable department policies include but are not limited to 300 Use of Force.

Training Requirements: Prior to use, officers must attend diversionary device training conducted by a POST certified instructor. This occurs during basic SWAT school and another half-day of in-house training.

Category 12, continued

Equipment Type: Chemical Agents & Munitions (“tear gas”) Definitive Section: CA Gov’t Code Section 7070(c)(12)
Description & Equipment Capabilities: Chemical agent munitions, which are commonly referred to as “tear gas,” may be used by the Salinas Police Department as a non -lethal tool to limit the escalation of conflict in conju nction with de -escalation tactics when feasible. The use of chemical irritants is an option to limit the escalation of conflict by the use of less lethal options in conjunction with de -escalation tactics when feasible. The use of chemical irritants are an option that can be selected in the goal of protection of life and property and/or restoration of order.

Authorized Use | Purpose: Applicable department policies include but are not limited to 300 Use of Force and 308 Control Devices and Techniques.

The use of force by law enforcement personnel is a matter of critical concern, both to the public and to the law enforcement community. Officers are involved on a daily basis in numerous and varied interactions and, when warranted, may use reasonable force in carrying out their duties.

Generally, the option to deploy chemical irritants will be exercised after a suspect has been given numerous opportunities to surrender, the Tactical Commander is satisfied that negotiations have been exhausted, and that further communication with the suspect will not result in the suspects' surrender.

The deployment of this less lethal option is intended to resolve the situation without creating a confrontation between the police and the suspect. In using chemical irritants, the intent is to make the suspect's environment so uncomfortable that he/she seeks to exit the structure or vehicle and is taken into custody by an arrest team. It is never the intent of the Salinas Department to injure or punish the suspect by using these de vices. The suspect's failure to surrender has created the need for this option.

Tear gas may be used for crowd control, crowd dispersal or against barricaded suspects based on the circumstances. Only the Watch Commander, Incident Commander or SWAT / HNT Commander may authorize the delivery and use of tear gas.

Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) may be used on a person or group of people who are engaging in, or about to engage in violent behavior. OC should not be used against people or groups who merely fail to dispe rse or do not reasonably appear to present a risk to the safety of officers or the public.

SPD SWAT Standard Operating Procedures : Prior to deployment, the Tactical Commander and Team Leader should consider the evacuation of the area around the objective site that may be affected by the application of the chemical agents. Command personnel should insure, within reason, there are no infants, ill, or physically mentally or emotionally disabled people in the

60 | P a g e

specified deployment area. The team member(s) assig ned to deploy the chemical irritants will develop a Chemical Agents Deployment Plan which will explain how much irritant will be used, where it will be introduced and how it will be deployed (except during Emergency Gas Deployment). These team members will then present the plan to the Team Leader and Tactical Commander.

Prior to deployment, both team members will inspect the munitions to avoid confusion or errors. Once the Chemical Irritant Deployment Team(s) are in place, they will advise the Team Leader. The Team Leader will advise them when to deploy the munitions and this order will be repeated by the Chemical Irritants Deployment Team to eliminate any confusion.

When practicable, fire personnel should be alerted or summoned to the scene prior to the deployment of tear gas to control any fires and to assist in providing medical aid or gas evacuation if needed.

Training Requirements: Members must attend a department approved chemical irritant school to participate on the Chemical Irritant Deployment Team.

Category 14 - 40MM Projectile Launchers and Munitions
The following projectile launch platforms and their associated munitions: 40mm projectile launchers, “bean bag,” rubber bullet, and specialty impact munition (SIM) weapons
Equipment Type: 40MM Projectile Launchers and Projectiles Definitive Section: CA Gov’t Code Section 7070(c)(14)
Description and Equipment Capabilities: An impact launcher capable of firing an array of less lethal 40mm rounds. This is used to limit the escalation of conflict by the use of less lethal options in conjunction with de -escalation tactics when feasible. The 40mm launcher is exclusively used as a less lethal force option for both kinetic energy projectiles and chemical agents. 40mm less lethal launchers have an effect range of up to 20 yards.

The 40mm less lethal launcher may be deployed to gain compliance or de-escalate conflicts to help prevent a situation from becoming a lethal force situation. The system’s effectiveness provides t ime and distance between officers and a suspect, reducing the immediacy of the threat and allows opportunity for further de-escalation. This system can be used to address self - destructive/suicidal, dangerous, and/or combative individuals; to gain a tactical advantage from a distance (i.e., breaking a window to get an unobstructed view of an individual or disabling a security camera); against potentially vicious animals; and for riot/crowd control and/or civil unrest incidents where the use of the 40mm is objectively reasonable.

Authorized Use | Purpose: In order to control subject(s) who are violent or who demonstrate the intent to be violent, The Salinas Police Department authorizes officers to use Control Devices in accordance with policy to limit the escalation of conflict by the use of less lethal options in conjunction with de-escalation tactics when feasible.

The use of force by law enforcement personnel is a matter of critical concern, both to the public and to the law enforcement community. Officers are involved on a daily basis in numerous and varied interactions and, when warranted, may use reasonable fo rce in carrying out their duties.

Kinetic energy projectiles when used properly, are less likely to result in death or serious physical injury and can be used in an attempt to de-escalate a potentially deadly situation.

Circumstances appropriate for deployment include, but are not limited to, situations in which:
a) The person is armed with a weapon and the tactical circumstances allow for the safe application of approved munitions.
b) The person has made credible threats to harm him/herself or others. c) The person is engaged in riotous behavior or is throwing rocks, bottles or other

67 | P a g e

dangerous projectiles at people and/or officers.
d) There is probable cause to believe that the person has already committed a crime of violence and is refusing to comply with lawful orders.

Applicable Policies for Authorized Use: Applicable department policies include 300 Use of Force, 308 Control Devices and Techniques, and 309 Conducted Energy Device.

Kinetic energy projectiles and chemical agents for crowd control purposes s hall only be deployed by officers who have received POST training for crowd control if the use is objectively reasonable to defend against a threat to life or serious bodily injury to any individual, including an officer, or to bring an objectively dangero us and unlawful situation safely and effectively under control (Penal Code S 13652).

Tear gas may be used for crowd control, crowd dispersal or against barricaded suspects based on the circumstances. Only the Watch Commander, Incident Commander or SWAT / HNT Commander may authorize the delivery and use of tear gas.

Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) may be used on a person or group of people who are engaging in, or about to engage in violent behavior. OC should not be used against people or groups who merely fail to disperse or do not reasonably appear to present a risk to the safety of officers or the public.

Training Requirements: To use 40mm less lethal kinetic energy projectiles, officers are required to attend department approved training. To use less lethal ch emical irritants including those delivered by 40mm projectile launchers, officers are required to attend a department approved chemical irritant school.

AB-481 Law enforcement and state agencies: military equipment: funding, acquisition, and use. (2021-2022)

Assembly Bill No. 481
CHAPTER 406
An act to add Chapter 12.8 (commencing with Section 7070) to Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code, relating to military equipment.
[ Approved by Governor September 30, 2021. Filed with Secretary of State September 30, 2021. ]

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 481, Chiu. Law enforcement and state agencies: military equipment: funding, acquisition, and use.

Existing law designates the Department of General Services as the agency for the State of California responsible for distribution of federal surplus personal property, excepting food commodities, and requires the department to, among other things, do all things necessary to the execution of its powers and duties as the state agency for the distribution of federal personal surplus property, excepting food commodities, in accordance with specified federal law. Existing law, the Federal Surplus Property Acquisition Law of 1945, authorizes a local agency, as defined, to acquire surplus federal property without regard to any law which requires posting of notices or advertising for bids, inviting or receiving bids, or delivery of purchases before payment, or which prevents the local agency from bidding on federal surplus property. Existing federal law authorizes the Department of Defense to transfer surplus personal property, including arms and ammunition, to federal or state agencies for use in law enforcement activities, subject to specified conditions, at no cost to the acquiring agency.

This bill would require a law enforcement agency, defined to include specified entities, to obtain approval of the applicable governing body, by adoption of a military equipment use policy, as specified, by ordinance at a regular meeting held pursuant to specified open meeting laws, prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment, as defined. The bill would also require similar approval for the continued use of military equipment acquired prior to January 1, 2022. The bill would allow the governing body to approve the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards. The bill would require the governing body to annually review the ordinance and to either disapprove a renewal of the authorization for a type, as defined, of military equipment or amend the military equipment use policy if it determines, based on an annual military equipment report prepared by the law enforcement agency, as provided, that the military equipment does not comply with the above-described standards for approval. The bill would specify these provisions do not preclude a county or local municipality from implementing additional requirements and standards related to the purchase, use, and reporting of military equipment by local law enforcement agencies.

This bill would also require a state agency, as defined, to create a military equipment use policy before engaging in certain activities, publish the policy on the agency’s internet website, and provide a copy of the policy to the Governor or the Governor’s designee, as specified. The bill would also require a state agency that seeks to continue use of military equipment acquired prior to January 1, 2022, to create a military equipment use policy.

By adding to the duties of local officials with respect to the funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

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

This bill would make legislative findings to that effect.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

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

Vote: majority Appropriation: no Fiscal Committee: yes Local Program: yes THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) The acquisition of military equipment and its deployment in our communities adversely impacts the public’s safety and welfare, including increased risk of civilian deaths, significant risks to civil rights, civil liberties, and physical and psychological well-being, and incurment of significant financial costs. Military equipment is more frequently deployed in low-income Black and Brown communities, meaning the risks and impacts of police militarization are experienced most acutely in marginalized communities. (b) The public has a right to know about any funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment by state or local government officials, as well as a right to participate in any government agency’s decision to fund, acquire, or use such equipment.
(c) Decisions regarding whether and how military equipment is funded, acquired, or used should give strong consideration to the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties, and should be based on meaningful public input.
(d) Legally enforceable safeguards, including transparency, oversight, and accountability measures, must be in place to protect the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties before military equipment is funded, acquired, or used.
(e) The lack of a public forum to discuss the acquisition of military equipment jeopardizes the relationship police have with the community, which can be undermined when law enforcement is seen as an occupying force rather than a public safety service.

SEC. 2.

(a) A state agency shall create a military equipment use policy prior to engaging in any of the following:
(1) Requesting military equipment made available pursuant to Section 2576a of Title 10 of the United States Code.
(2) Seeking funds for military equipment, including, but not limited to, applying for a grant, soliciting or accepting private, local, state, or federal funds, in-kind donations, or other donations or transfers. (3) Acquiring military equipment either permanently or temporarily, including by borrowing or leasing. (4) Collaborating with a law enforcement agency or another state agency in the deployment or other use of military equipment within the territorial jurisdiction of the governing body. (5) Using any new or existing military equipment for a purpose, in a manner, or by a person not previously approved by the governing body pursuant to this chapter. (6) Soliciting or responding to a proposal for, or entering into an agreement with, any other person or entity to seek funds for, or to apply to receive, acquire, use, or collaborate in the use of, military equipment. (7) Acquiring military equipment through any means not provided by this subdivision. (b) No later than May 1, 2022, a state agency seeking to continue the use of any military equipment that was acquired prior to January 1, 2022, shall create a military equipment use policy. (c) A state agency that is required to create a military equipment use policy pursuant to this section shall do both of the following within 180 days of completing the policy:
(1) Publish the military equipment use policy on the agency’s internet website. (2) Provide a copy of the military equipment use policy to the Governor or the Governor’s designee. 7074. The Legislature finds and declares that ensuring adequate oversight of the acquisition and use of military equipment is a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair as that term is used in Section 5 of Article XI of the California Constitution. Therefore, this chapter applies to all cities, including charter cities and shall supersede any inconsistent provisions in the charter of any city, county, or city and county. 7075.

Nothing in this chapter shall preclude a county or local municipality from implementing additional requirements and standards related to the purchase, use, and reporting of military equipment by local law enforcement agencies.

SEC. 3. The Legislature finds and declares that Section 1 of this act, which adds Chapter 12.8 (commencing with Section 7070) to Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code, furthers, within the meaning of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the purposes of that constitutional section as it relates to the right of public access to the meetings of local public bodies or the writings of local public officials and local agencies. Pursuant to paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the Legislature makes the following findings:

Requiring local agencies to hold public meetings prior to the acquisition of military equipment further exposes that activity to public scrutiny and enhances public access to information concerning the conduct of the people’s business.

SEC. 4. No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school district under this act would result from a legislative mandate that is within the scope of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution.

RECOMMENDED MOTION:

Motion to:

1. Approve a Resolution a ffirming the findings, adopting the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program , and approving a General Plan Amendment (GPA 2022-003) changing the General Plan Land Use designation of an approximately 8,349 square-foot eastern portion of a 18,880 square-foot project site located at 2110 North Main Street property from Residential Low Density to Retail and approving a Conditional Use Permit (CUP 2022-005) to establish and operate an Extended Stay Hotel; and

2. Adopt an Ordinance to Rezone the same above referenced 8,349 square -foot eastern portion of a 18,880 square -foot project site located at 2110 North Main Street from Residential Low Density (R-L-5.5) to Commercial Retail (CR) (RZ 2022-003).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Daniel Saphorghan, Swift Consulting on behalf of Janika Corporation DBA Capitol Motel, has Page | 2
applied for a General Plan Amendment to change the General Plan Land Use designation of an approximately 8,349 square-foot eastern portion of a 18,880 square-foot lot located at 2110 North Main Street from “Residential Low Density” to “Retail”; a Rezone to change Zoning designation of the above referenced 8,349 square-foot eastern portion of the project site from “Residential Low Density (R-L-5.5)” to “Commercial Retail (CR)”; and a Conditional Use Permit to establish and operate an Extended Stay Hotel for 22 of 25 on -site rooms. Approval of the General Plan Amendment and Rezone are required to allow the prop osed Extended Stay Hotel to operate on- site.

BACKGROUND:

The project site is currently developed with an existing hotel/motel (Capitol Motel) which is considered a legal non-conforming use pursuant to Zoning Code Section 37 -50.160, because it is estimated to have been constructed circa 1936 prior to annexation. The Applicant (Capitol Motel – Ray Patel) is requesting to establish and operate an Extended Stay Hotel for 22 of the 25 on-site rooms pursuant to Zoning Code Section 37-50.085 (Extended Stay for Hotel/Motel uses).

The site is split zoned with Commercial Retail (CR) along the western portion of the site and Residential Low Density (R -L-5.5) along the eastern portion of the site. Per the Zoning Code, Extended Stay Hotels located on Commercial Retai l (CR) zoned land can be considered through the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process. However, in the Residential Low Density (R -L-5.5) Zoning District, Extended Stay Hotels are not permitted. Therefore, the applications have been submitted requesting to change the General Plan and Zoning designations of the subject property to be consistent with the western portion of the lot which are “Retail” and “Commercial Retail (CR)” respectively. Upon approval of the General Plan Amendment and Rezone, the proposed Extended Stay Hotel use can be approved through the CUP process.

The following provides an overview of the land uses and zoning districts adjacent to the project site:

North: Soto Square Park and Salinas Fire Station No. 6/Parks (P) and Public/Semipublic (PS)
South: Commercial/Commercial Retail (CR) and Residential Low Density (R-L-5.5) East: Residential/Residential Low Density (R-L-5.5)
West: Residential/Commercial Retail (CR)

DISCUSSION:

Analysis:

General Plan Amendment 2022-003 and Rezone 2022-003:

Per the 2002 General Plan, the Land Use designation of the approximately 8,349 square -foot eastern portion of a 18,880 square-foot project site is “Residential Low Density”. The proposal is to change the General Plan designation of the a bove referenced eastern portion of the project site from “Residential Low Density” to “Retail”. The proposed change in the General Plan land use Page | 3
designation from “Residential Low Density” to “Retail” would be consistent with the western portion of the project site and allow for uses prescribed by the City’s 2002 General Plan land use designation of Retail.

The project site consists of 18,880 square -feet. The approximately 10,531 square -foot western portion of the project site is currently located in the “Commercial Retail” (CR) District, which provides for wide range of commercial uses, including the existi ng hotel use and the proposed Extended Stay Hotel. The approximately 8,349 square -foot eastern portion of the project site is zoned Residential Low Density (R -L-5.5), which only allows for single -family residential uses.

Uses such as the proposed Extende d Stay Hotel are not allowed in the R -L-5.5 District. The proposed Rezone would change the Zoning designation of the eastern portion of the project site from “Residential – Low Density” (R-L-5.5) to “Commercial Retail” (CR). The proposed zoning would be consistent with the existing Zoning designation of the adjacent western portion of the project site. The project site is not located within a specific plan or a precise plan area and therefore does not conflict with such a plan. The project site is loca ted entirely within the City limits of Salinas and does not conflict with the adopted sphere of influence.

Conditional Use Permit 2022-005:

The Conditional Use Permit 2022 -005 (CUP 2022 -005) is requested to establish and operate an Extended Stay Hotel f or 22 of 25 on -site rooms at an existing hotel (Capitol Motel). The site consists of a one-story hotel and a two -story office. There are 25 on -site units with 13 off -street parking spaces on -site and a common area. Because of the split zoning of the pro ject site, the related General Plan Amendment and Rezone will need to be approved to allow for the proposed project. Proposed conditions of CUP 2022-005 will ensure that, when implemented, the project will conform and comply with the development standards of Zoning Code Section 37-50.085(c).

Consideration of Amendments

Chapter 37, Article VI, Divisions 12 and 14 provides for a process whereby all General Plan and Zoning Code Amendments are brought before the Planning Commission for a recommendation to the City Council for consideration and a final decision. On May 3, 2023, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to review the proposed Amendments and unanimously (4-0) approved the attached Planning Commission Resolution 2023-05 recommending that the City Council adopt the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, approve General Plan Amendment 202 2-003, Rezone 2022-003, and Conditional Use Permit 2022-005 (see attached May 3, 2023, Planning Commission Staff Report and draft Planning Commission minute s). On May 9, 2023, the Housing and Land Use Committee unanimously (3 -0) recommended that the City Council approve General Plan Amendment 2022-003, Rezone 2022-003, and Conditional Use Permit 2022-005.

The City Council may approve the proposed Amendments if all of the findings set forth in the attached City Council Resolution and Ordinance are established. Per Zoning Code Section 37 -

60.930(d), an affirmative vote of not less than four (4) votes of the City Council is required for the Council to approve t he General Plan Amendment. Prior to taking action on the proposed Amendments, the City Council will need to affirm environmental impacts of the project have been analyzed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Page | 4

The related Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the Extended Stay Hotel cannot be approved unless the related General Plan Amendment and Rezone are approved because a portion of the project site is designated and zoned Residential Low Density/R -L-5.5 respectively which does not allow for this type of use.

Time Consideration:

The proposed project includes requests for a General Plan Amendment and Rezone, which are legislative acts and not subject to the Permit Streamlining Act (PSA). The Conditional Use Permit was deemed complete on March 31, 2023. Final action is required by September 7, 2023 pursuant to CEQA Section 15107 due to the requirements of environmental review for the project.

Alternatives Available to the City Council:

1. Affirm the findings set forth in the attached Ordinance and Resolution, adopt ing the Mitigated Negative Declaration and approv ing General Plan Amendment 2002 -003, Rezone 2022-003, and Conditional Use Permit 2022-005 with modifications; or

2. Find that the proposed applications are not appropriate and establish findings at the public hearing denying General Plan Amendment 2022-003, Rezone 2022-003, and Conditional Use Permit 2022-005.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:

The environmental impacts of the project have been analyzed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). An Initial Study was prepared to evaluate the potential impacts associated with the project. Based upon review of the Initial Study, the proposed project will not have a significant effect on the environm ent. The Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration were routed to responsible agencies and posted at the County Clerk’s Office on March 17, 2023; the deadline for comments was April 17, 2023. The State Clearinghouse received the document on March 17, 2023 and the deadline for Clearinghouse comments was April 17, 2023 (SCH# 2023030481).

Public comments were received from the following during the comment period as described below:

Comments received via email from Monterey Salinas Transit (MST) on April 12, 2023.

Per the comments from MST, they serve, operate, and maintain two (2) existing stops within the project’s vicinity for Line 49. Line 49 travels from the Salinas Transit Center in Downtown Salinas to Santa Rita via North Main Street. Per MS T, the service operates every 15 minutes from Downtown Salinas to Northridge Mall and every 30 minutes to Santa Rita. MST encourages the Applicant/Property Owner (Capitol Motel) to enroll in their Group Discount Program to offer employees and hotel guests bus passes at substantially reduced rates.
