Agenda - 5/17/2022 (14) — Santa Maria City Council, May 17, 2022

FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 17, 2022

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
Prepared by: Chief of Police
SUBJECT: REINTRODUCE ORDINANCE NO. 2022-03 IN COMPLIANCE WITH AB 481 APPROVING THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S MILITARY EQUIPMENT

USE POLICY
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council reintroduce for first reading, and continue to a future meeting for second reading and adoption, Ordinance No. 2022-03 adopting a Military Equipment Use Policy for the Police Department in compliance with AB 481.

BACKGROUND:

Assembly Bill 481 (AB 481) codified in Government Code sections 7070 through 7075 requires a law enforcement agency (LEA) to obtain approval from the governing body, via adoption of a Military Equipment Use Policy (the Policy) by ordinance (the Ordinance) prior to the LEA funding, acquiring, or using military equipment. The Santa Maria Police Department (SMPD) seeks City Council approval of the Military Equipment Use Policy (SMPD Policy 707, Attachment A) to allow SMPD to continue to use the vital equipment specified therein and continue to purchase said approved equipment as needed.

At its regular meeting held April 19, 2022, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 2022-03 to adopt a Military Equipment Use Policy for the Police Department in compliance with AB 481. After the introduction, the Police Department updated the military equipment inventory to include additional proposed equipment. The proposed items consist of two additional less lethal 40MM single shot launchers and one remotely controlled, unmanned robot.

DISCUSSION:

Effective January 1, 2022, LEAs within California are required to abide by the rules set forth within AB 481, defining military equipment, requiring approval by the City Council, and public engagement for the use and acquisition of military equipment. The SMPD has responsibly purchased and utilized this equipment within the community for decades without misuse or abuse. AB 481 requires an LEA to make public its Policy on the LEA website for at least thirty (30) days before a mandatory public hearing where the public may comment on the Policy before City Council decides to adopt it or not.

The term "military equipment," as used in AB 481, does not necessarily indicate equipment that has been used by the military. "Military equipment" here includes, but is

not limited to, unmanned aerial or ground vehicles, armored vehicles, command and control vehicles, pepper balls, less lethal shotguns, less lethal 40mm projectile launchers, long-range acoustic devices, and flashbangs. These items provide peace officers with the ability to safely resolve volatile situations which otherwise might rise to the level of a lethal force encounter. These tools have been tested in the field and are used by LEAs to enhance public and officer safety. The loss of these items would jeopardize the welfare of community members and peace officers within the SMPD.

This equipment is necessary because there are no reasonable alternatives that can achieve the same officer, civilian, and public safety objectives. The Military Equipment Use Policy will safeguard the public's welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties. It will be a benefit to all community members.

The Santa Maria Police Department has followed the requirements of AB 481 in creating a Military Equipment Use Policy (SMPD Policy 707) and Military Equipment Inventory and has posted them on the Department's website for the public to view and provide comments, complaints, and concerns. The public can email these comments, complaints, and concerns to policeRcitvofsantamaria.org to be addressed in a timely and appropriate manner.

Fiscal Considerations
There are no significant financial impacts anticipated with this action. The current or proposed equipment has already been paid for, or will be paid for, by private donations or approved budgets. The equipment is reasonably cost-effective compared to available alternatives that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety. No additional funding is being sought.

Impact to the Community
Adoption of Ordinance No. 2022-03 and policy will allow the SMPD to maintain service levels.
