Proposition 64 Public Health & Safety Grant Program
Subject: Letter of Support -- City of Vista Prop 64 Grant Application Dear Review Committee,
On behalf of Vista Unified School District (VUSD), i am pleased to express our strong support for the City of Vista's application to the Proposition 64 Public Health and Safety Grant Program.
VUSD serves more than 17,500 students across 26 schools and is committed to fostering safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments. We have observed increasing concerns related to youth cannabis use, particularly among middle school students, and recognize the need for coordinated prevention and early intervention strategies.
We strongly support the City's comprehensive approach, which integrates enforcement, prevention, and education to address cannabis -related impacts. The expansion of the School Resource Officer (SRO) program is especially valuable, as it promotes a balanced approach to school safety that emphasizes mentorship, prevention education, and early intervention rather than punitive responses.
Vista Unified School District is committed to serving as an active partner in this project. Specifically, VUSD will:
Facilitate access to school campuses for prevention programming and SRO activities.
Coordinate with the SRO and project partners to identify and refer students to appropriate prevention, intervention, and diversion services.
Support implementation of cannabis education initiatives for students and families.
Collaborate on data sharing, as appropriate and consistent with privacy laws, to support program evaluation and continuous improvement.
VUSD has a long history of collaboration with the City of Vista and local partners on youth -focused initiatives. Our existing partnerships and infrastructure will allow for efficient implementation of project activities immediately upon grant award.
We are confident that this project will significantly enhance student well-being, reduce substance use risk factors, and strengthen school -community partnerships. Vista Unified School District strongly supports this application and looks forward to continued collaboratiop with the City of Vista.

Superintendent of Schools, Vista Unified School District The purpose of Vista Unified School District is to inspire every student to persevere as a critical thinker who collaborates to solve real world problems. 1234 Are'adira Ave., Vista, CA 92084 • Ph: (760.) 726-2170 • www.vistausd.rorg 08/25/2026 C4 170 of 210

Project Title City of Vista Cannabis Public Safety, Enforcement, and Youth Prevention Initiative
Project Summary The City of Vista proposes a comprehensive initiative to address cannabis- related public safety and youth health impacts through enforcement, prevention, and education. The project will strengthen enforcement against illegal cannabis activity through coordinated efforts between the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office and Code Enforcement, including inspections, investigations, and multi-agency operations. The project will also expand prevention and early intervention services by placing a dedicated School Resource Officer in middle schools to deliver cannabis education, identify at-risk youth, and connect students to supportive services. Community outreach efforts will increase awareness of cannabis laws and health risks.
This balanced approach reduces illegal activity, prevents youth cannabis use, and improves community safety outcomes.

PART II -
PROPOSAL
ABSTRACT
The Proposal Abstract should provide a brief summary of the proposed project. This section will not be included in the rating of the proposal. 08/25/2026 C4 192 of 210
PROPOSAL
ABSTRACT
The City of Vista proposes a comprehensive public safety and prevention initiative designed to address the impacts of cannabis legalization through targeted enforcement, youth prevention, and community education. The project aligns with the goals of the Proposition 64 Public Health and Safety Grant Program by strengthening regulatory enforcement while expanding early intervention strategies for youth at risk of substance misuse.
The proposed project prioritizes Public Policy Area 1 (PPA1): Enforcement and Regulation, with more than 70 percent of grant funding dedicated to enforcement-related activities. The City will conduct multi-agency cannabis enforcement operations targeting illegal cannabis storefronts, delivery services, cultivation sites, and manufacturing operations. Enforcement activities will include compliance inspections, surveillance operations, controlled purchases, and investigations into organized illegal cannabis distribution networks. These activities will be conducted in partnership with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office, and City Code Enforcement Division.
To complement enforcement efforts, the City will expand its School Resource Officer (SRO) program to provide prevention education and early intervention services in Vista middle schools. The SRO will work closely with school administrators, counselors, and community partners to address youth cannabis use through mentoring, prevention education, and referrals to supportive services.
Community outreach and prevention services will be delivered in partnership with Vista Unified School District, San Diego Sheriff’s Office, and local community-based and health care organizations. Programs will include cannabis education workshops, youth mentoring programs, and early intervention services designed to prevent youth substance misuse and reduce justice system involvement.
The project also includes independent evaluation conducted by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), which will provide quarterly reports and a final evaluation documenting program outcomes and measuring impact on public safety and youth health.
By combining enforcement, prevention, youth diversion, and community education strategies, the City of Vista will improve public safety, reduce illegal cannabis activity, and protect youth and community health. This approach delivers measurable results aligned with Proposition 64 objectives.

Proposal Need Section 1: Project Need
08/25/2026 C4 193 of 210
1.1 Relationship to Proposition 64
The City of Vista faces ongoing challenges related to illegal cannabis activity, youth cannabis use, and associated public health impacts. The proposed project directly supports the intent of Proposition 64 by strengthening enforcement of illegal cannabis operations while expanding prevention, early intervention, and diversion services for youth.
While Proposition 64 established a regulated cannabis market to protect public health and safety, illegal cannabis activity continues to undermine compliance and increase youth access to cannabis products. The City’s approach integrates targeted enforcement with prevention and youth- focused strategies to reduce cannabis-related harms and improve community safety outcomes.
1.2 Relationship to Project Purpose Areas
The proposed project aligns with multiple Proposition 64 Public Policy Areas (PPAs) and emphasizes a coordinated strategy integrating enforcement, prevention, and public health.
The primary focus is PPA1 (Enforcement and Regulation). The City will expand its capacity to regulate cannabis businesses and investigate illegal operations through coordinated efforts with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office and City Code Enforcement. Activities include compliance inspections, decoy operations, inspections of tobacco retailers for THC products, investigations of unlicensed businesses, and surveillance of illegal cultivation and distribution networks. Complex cases will be referred to regional task forces for multi-agency action. These efforts protect the legal market and reduce youth access to cannabis.
The project also supports PPA2 (Public Health and Education) by working with community-based and healthcare organizations to deliver education on cannabis laws, product safety, and youth health risks.
Under PPA3 (Youth Development and Prevention), the project expands prevention education, mentoring, and diversion programs in partnership with Vista Unified School District and community-based organizations, reducing youth justice system involvement by expanding prevention education, mentoring programs, and diversion opportunities and connecting youth to supportive services.
Together, these efforts provide a balanced approach addressing enforcement, prevention, and community health.
1.3 Local Service Gaps
Significant service gaps contribute to cannabis-related public safety and health challenges in Vista.
Illegal cannabis activity persists, including unlicensed retail sales, delivery services, and cultivation operations. These undermine the regulated market and strain enforcement resources, limiting proactive compliance efforts.
Schools report increasing concerns related to youth cannabis use, particularly through vaping devices that allow discreet consumption of high- potency cannabis products on campus.
There is also a gap in early intervention and diversion services for youth, particularly at the middle school level. Early substance use is strongly associated with long-term misuse and justice system involvement, yet prevention resources remain limited.
The proposed project addresses these gaps by expanding enforcement capacity while increasing prevention education, early intervention, and diversion services, with a focus on middle school populations.
1.4 Local Data Supporting Need
08/25/2026 C4 194 of 210
The City used multiple data sources, including Vista’s Cannabis Equity Assessment (2024), Vista Unified School District data, California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS 2024–2025), and SANDAG 2024 youth data, to assess cannabis-related needs.
Between 2014 and 2023, Vista recorded 685 cannabis-related arrests, including 330 at middle and high schools. Overall, arrests were concentrated in Census Tracts 195.03 and 192.06 (16% of total), and with Black/African American residents representing 3.1% of the population but
5.8% of arrests (City of Vista Cannabis Equity Assessment, 2024). These findings demonstrate the need for enforcement strategies that address illegal cannabis activity while reducing disproportionate impacts.
School data demonstrate early initiation of cannabis-related behavior. Vista Unified School District serves approximately 17,000–18,000 students across 26 schools, including four middle schools. In 2024–2025, middle schools reported 19 incidents involving possession, use, or distribution of substances, including cannabis, while Vista High School reported 58 incidents and Rancho Buena Vista High School reported 47. These data indicate early initiation and increasing severity of cannabis-related misconduct.
CHKS data further identify risk factors. Among middle school students, 14% reported alcohol or drug use, and 14% reported suicidal ideation.
Additionally, 30–34% reported being unsupervised after school, increasing risk for cannabis use.
School monitoring systems recorded over 1,600 high-risk alerts in middle schools and over 1,500 in high schools, including incidents involving violence, sexual content, and vulnerable student indicators. Alerts peak between 4:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m., indicating a critical intervention window.
SANDAG data reinforce these trends, showing high prevalence of substance use among youth, particularly justice-involved youth, with 93% reporting vaping or cannabis use (SANDAG, 2024).
These data demonstrate that cannabis use begins in middle school, escalates over time, and co-occurs with mental health and supervision challenges.
The proposed project addresses this need through a dedicated School Resource Officer (SRO) at middle schools to help provide early identification of cannabis-related behaviors, prevention education, and referrals to wraparound and behavioral health services, preventing escalation into high school.
1.5 Stakeholder Engagement
The City of Vista engaged key stakeholders, including the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office, Vista Unified School District, Code Enforcement, and community-based and healthcare organizations to identify needs and develop the proposed project. Additionally, Vista consulted with the bordering City of Oceanside regarding the potential for regional efforts and ways we may work together for consistent messaging, enforcement, and prevention.
Stakeholders consistently identified illegal cannabis activity, youth cannabis and vaping use, and limited prevention and diversion services as priority concerns. They emphasized the need for increased enforcement, expanded prevention education, and earlier intervention for youth.
Stakeholders also highlighted the importance of equitable approaches.
Vista is a diverse community of approximately 99,000 residents, with nearly 25% under age 18, approximately 49% Hispanic or Latino, and 40% 08/25/2026 C4 195 of 210
of households speaking a language other than English. These factors underscore the need for culturally responsive outreach and services.
The proposed project reflects stakeholder input and incorporates coordinated strategies to strengthen enforcement, expand prevention, and improve equitable public health and safety outcomes.
Project Description Section 2: Project Description
2.1 Proposed Project
The City of Vista proposes a comprehensive public safety and prevention initiative designed to address the impacts of cannabis legalization through targeted enforcement, youth prevention, and community education The project prioritizes Public Policy Area 1 (PPA1): Enforcement and Regulation, while also addressing PPA2: Public Health and Education, and PPA3: Youth Development and Prevention.
The project will be implemented through partnerships among the City of Vista, San Diego County Sheriff’s Office (SDSO), Vista Unified School District (VUSD), and community-based organizations. These partners will work collaboratively to reduce illegal cannabis activity, prevent youth cannabis use, and improve community awareness of cannabis-related risks.
More than seventy percent of project resources will support enforcement activities under PPA1. The City will expand its capacity to regulate cannabis businesses and investigate illegal operations through proactive inspections, multi-agency enforcement actions, and intelligence-driven investigations. These efforts will target illegal storefronts, unlicensed delivery services, unlawful cultivation sites, and cannabis manufacturing operations operating outside the regulatory framework.
Enforcement activities will include compliance inspections, decoy operations, surveillance, controlled purchases, follow-up investigations, and intelligence-based case development. The project will strengthen coordination between SDSO and the City’s Code Enforcement Division to address both criminal and regulatory violations. Code Enforcement will support investigations involving nuisance complaints and regulatory violations.
The project will also strengthen enforcement capacity through technology and data-driven strategies. Funding will support cameras, tablets, and field data tools to improve investigations and reporting. Vehicles will support coordinated operations. Evidence collection supplies and secure storage equipment will strengthen case development and prosecution.
Data analysis will support enforcement by identifying patterns of illegal activity, mapping trends, and guiding resource deployment. This intelligence-driven approach ensures enforcement efforts are focused on areas with the greatest need and impact.
In addition to enforcement, the project includes strong youth prevention and early intervention components. The City will expand its School Resource Officer (SRO) program by assigning a dedicated officer to Vista middle schools, currently the SRO program only includes high schools. The new SRO will serve as a visible law enforcement presence and a mentor, providing cannabis and vaping prevention education, building positive relationships with students, and collaborating with school staff to identify at-risk youth.
The SRO will help coordinate referrals to counseling, mentoring, and behavioral health services, emphasizing prevention and early intervention 08/25/2026 C4 196 of 210
rather than punitive responses. Vape detection technology will support schools in identifying incidents and enabling timely intervention.
Community education activities under PPA2 will increase awareness of cannabis laws, product safety, and health risks. In partnership with SDSO, VUSD, community-based organizations, and local health organizations, the City will provide workshops, parent education, and public awareness campaigns.
Outreach efforts will be culturally responsive to Vista’s diverse population, where nearly half of residents identify as Hispanic or Latino and many households speak languages other than English. Messaging will be accessible and tailored to community needs.
Youth-focused services under PPA3 will include prevention education, mentoring, peer leadership programs, and early intervention services delivered in partnership with VUSD and community organizations. These services will target students identified through school referrals, prevention programs, or enforcement interactions, reducing substance use and preventing justice system involvement.
The project will primarily serve Vista residents, with a focus on youth in Vista Unified School District and communities experiencing higher levels of cannabis-related activity. Prevention programs are expected to reach up to 2,000 student annually.
Participants will access services through multiple pathways, including enforcement referrals, school-based identification, and community outreach activities.
2.2 Project Goals and Objectives
The project is designed to achieve three primary goals aligned with Proposition 64.
The first goal is to strengthen enforcement of illegal cannabis activity and non-compliant businesses. This will be achieved through inspections, multi- agency operations, and intelligence-driven investigations that disrupt illegal markets and protect the regulated system.
The second goal is to increase community awareness of cannabis laws and health impacts. Through education campaigns and outreach, the project will improve understanding of cannabis risks and reduce youth exposure.
The third goal is to reduce youth cannabis use through prevention, early intervention, and diversion. This includes the expansion of the SRO program to include middle-schools. School-based prevention activities and diversion opportunities will help youth make healthier decisions and reduce the likelihood of future justice system involvement. Training and education for school staff will help identify at-risk youth and strengthen diversion and referrals to services. Training for school staff will improve identification of at-risk youth and strengthen referral pathways.
Together, these goals advance public safety, protect youth, and improve community health outcomes consistent with Proposition 64.
2.3 Evidence-Based Practices
The project incorporates evidence-based and promising practices in community policing, prevention, and youth intervention.
The proposed enforcement activities are grounded in evidence-based regulatory and deterrence strategies, including proactive compliance inspections, intelligence-led policing, and coordinated multi-agency enforcement operations (U.S. Department of Justice COPS Office; National Institute of Justice). These approaches have been shown to reduce illegal 08/25/2026 C4 197 of 210
market activity, improve compliance with cannabis regulations, and limit youth access to cannabis products (RAND Corporation; California Department of Cannabis Control).
The SRO model aligns with U.S. Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) best practices, which emphasize relationship-building, mentoring, and prevention within school settings.
Youth prevention and diversion strategies are informed by models from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), which highlight early intervention, skill development, and mentoring as effective approaches to reducing substance use and justice system involvement.
Community education efforts reflect public health models from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), emphasizing awareness, parental engagement, and culturally responsive outreach to prevent substance misuse.
2.4 Use of Existing Resources
The project builds on existing public safety and prevention infrastructure in the City of Vista.
SDSO and the City’s Code Enforcement Division already conduct coordinated tobacco-related enforcement. Grant funding will expand their capacity for proactive and coordinated cannabis operations.
At VUSD, community-based and local health organizations already provide prevention and intervention services for youth and have established programs and services in place. The project will enhance these efforts by expanding existing activities and after school service hours within the school setting including education, mentoring, and early intervention services, supported by the addition of a dedicated middle school SRO.
By leveraging existing partnerships and resources, the City will maximize the effectiveness of grant funding and support long-term sustainability of program components.
Project
Organizational
Capacity and
Coordination
Section 3: Organizational Capacity and Coordination
3.1 Administration of Project
The City of Vista has extensive experience administering public safety initiatives and managing state and federal grant-funded programs. The City maintains a strong administrative infrastructure that supports responsible fiscal management, program oversight, and compliance with grant requirements. Established financial management systems, procurement procedures, and reporting processes ensure that grant funds are administered transparently and in accordance with state regulations.
The City’s organizational capacity is supported by experienced administrative and public safety personnel who regularly coordinate multi- agency initiatives addressing public safety and community health issues.
These internal systems provide the framework necessary to effectively implement the proposed project and manage program activities over the five-year grant period.
Project oversight will be provided by a designated Project Manager responsible for coordinating project activities, managing partnerships, and ensuring that project goals and objectives are achieved. The Project Manager will oversee fiscal monitoring, compliance reporting, and coordination among participating agencies. Regular project meetings will be held with partner organizations to review progress, address operational 08/25/2026 C4 198 of 210
challenges, and ensure that project activities remain aligned with grant objectives.
Vista Unified School District will play a key administrative role by coordinating school-based implementation, supporting data sharing, facilitating referrals, and aligning prevention programming with project goals.
SANDAG will serve as the Independent Evaluator. SANDAG has extensive experience evaluating criminal justice and Proposition 64 programs and has served as the regional clearinghouse for crime statistics for over 45 years. Staff possess required clearances and expertise in research methods, statistical analysis, and data interpretation. Dr. Octavio Rodriguez Ferreira, Principal Criminal Justice Researcher with more than 20-years’ experience, will lead evaluation design, data integrity, analysis, and reporting.
Through this coordinated approach, the City of Vista will ensure that enforcement activities, youth prevention programs, and community education efforts are implemented in a cohesive and effective manner and properly tracked and evaluated.
3.2 Collaboration
The project will be implemented through partnerships with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office (SDSO), Vista Unified School District (VUSD), local healthcare providers, and community-based organizations. SDSO and City Code Enforcement will coordinate compliance inspections, investigations, and enforcement operations.
VUSD will lead school-based prevention and intervention efforts and support implementation of the School Resource Officer (SRO) program.
VUSD currently delivers drug prevention lessons through Project ALERT across all middle schools (11 lessons in 6th grade with follow-up in grades 7–8). VUSD also operates the RISE program, an alternative to suspension for students involved in substance-related incidents.
VUSD maintains established intervention and behavioral health systems.
Students are referred to Lifeline TrueLife for substance use intervention, with in-person services at select schools. All middle schools provide social- emotional learning groups through Palomar Family Health. Behavioral health services are available through School-Link providers (Rady’s, Lifeline, Palomar), DayBreak (teletherapy and in-person), and Uwill (24/7 crisis support), in addition to school counselors and social workers.
Mentoring is provided through partnerships with the Tariq Khamisa Foundation, Project AWARE, and PASS AmeriCorps at select schools.
Community-based and healthcare partners will deliver prevention education, early intervention, and outreach. The addition of a middle school SRO will strengthen coordination across these systems by identifying at- risk youth and connecting them to services. These established partnerships position the City to implement the project effectively and expand existing services.
3.3 Timeline
The City will formalize partnerships through agreements executed shortly after grant award to ensure timely implementation of project activities.
Within approximately two to three months of the executed grant agreement, the School Resource Officer will be assigned to Vista middle schools. Vista Unified School District has already expressed readiness to coordinate with the SRO and community partners to support prevention, intervention, and diversion programming for students.
08/25/2026 C4 199 of 210
Community-based organizations and healthcare partners will assist with delivering culturally responsive prevention education and youth services.
These collaborations are in well-established with VUSD working with youth populations, providing substance use prevention services, and serving diverse communities within the Vista area. These exiting providers are poised to be able to expand service with additional funding.
The City is well positioned to begin project implementation quickly because many participating agencies already collaborate on public safety and youth prevention initiatives. Prior to submitting this application, City staff convened meetings with partner organizations to discuss project scope, potential roles, and implementation strategies. These preliminary discussions have helped establish shared goals and clarify responsibilities among partners, allowing the project to move forward efficiently if funding is awarded.
Project Evaluation Section 4: Project Evaluation
4.1 Entity that Will Conduct Project Evaluation
The City of Vista will implement a comprehensive evaluation strategy to assess program effectiveness, ensure activities are implemented as intended, and support continuous improvement. Evaluation efforts will monitor implementation, measure progress toward goals, and identify opportunities to strengthen service delivery over the grant period.
The City will contract with the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), Criminal Justice Research Division (CJRD), to conduct an independent evaluation. SANDAG brings decades of experience conducting research to assist policymakers and criminal justice officials in program evaluation. SANDAG has also served as the evaluation partner for multiple Proposition 64 grant-funded initiatives across the San Diego region, supporting evaluation design, data collection, and program assessment in cannabis education and prevention efforts.
Evaluation activities will begin during the project start-up phase. CJRD staff will be engaged from the earliest stages of project development, working with City personnel and project partners to ensure that the evaluation framework aligns with the project’s goals and objectives. During the implementation phase staff will develop data collection tools and evaluation documentation, establishing research timelines and protocols. At the end of this phase, CJRD in collaboration with partners will complete the Local Evaluation Plan (LEP). This early involvement will help ensure that relevant data are collected consistently and that evaluation measures accurately reflect the intended outcomes of the program. Throughout the implementation of the project, CJRD will ensure data integrity through standardized reporting templates and clear definitions for each performance measure, ensuring consistent reporting across all project components.
The evaluation will include both process and outcome components. The process evaluation will assess whether enforcement, prevention, and outreach activities are implemented as proposed and delivered consistently across partners. The outcome evaluation will examine the extent to which the project achieves its intended impacts on public safety, 08/25/2026 C4 200 of 210
regulatory compliance, community awareness, and youth substance use prevention.
CJRD will provide ongoing monitoring and quality assurance throughout implementation. Quarterly reports will track performance indicators, document activities, and identify any challenges or implementation barriers.
These reports will include analysis of enforcement activity, participation in prevention programs, and progress toward goals, allowing for timely program adjustments.
4.2 Data Collection
CJRD will develop standardized data collection and reporting tools to track program activities, participation, performance, and outcomes. These tools will capture key data points including outreach engagement, participant intakes, program exits, enforcement actions, and services received. Data will be reviewed regularly with project partners to support ongoing program management and improvement.
Key outcome measures will reflect both enforcement and prevention efforts. Enforcement indicators will include the number of compliance inspections conducted, illegal cannabis operations identified and coordinated enforcement actions. Prevention indicators will include participating in prevention education programs, referrals to early intervention services, and participation in mentoring or diversion programs.
Additional outcome measures will assess changes in school disciplinary incidents related to cannabis and/or vaping.
Data used in the evaluation will be collected from multiple sources, including law enforcement reports, school records, and partner program data. Where necessary, the City will work with partner agencies to establish appropriate data-sharing agreements to ensure that relevant information can be used for evaluation purposes while maintaining confidentiality requirements.
At the conclusion of the grant period, SANDAG will prepare a final Local Evaluation Report (LER) summarizing project implementation, outcomes, and lessons learned. Additionally, SANDAG will prepare a user friendly data information or dashboard that clearly presents key performance metrics, participation trends, and measurable impacts in a format accessible to stakeholders, policymakers, and community partners. SANDAG’s research analysts are skilled in qualitative and quantitative methods, statistical analysis, and data interpretation. Their expertise enables evaluations that go beyond basic reporting to include correlations and other relevant statistical analyses. This report will provide valuable insight into the effectiveness of the program and will inform future public safety strategies within the City of Vista.
Findings will also support continuous program improvement by helping project partners identify effective practices, address implementation challenges, and strengthen prevention and enforcement efforts over time.
Finally, as it will be outlined in further detail in the LEP, the evaluation will use a mixed method, quasi experimental design to measure change over time. When possible, descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analyses will be conducted to characterize participants, assess program outcomes, and identify predictors of success. Findings will be shared continuously with program partners to support ongoing program refinement, guide decision making, and ensure accountability throughout the grant period. 08/25/2026 C4 201 of 210
