F. Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements (SBITAs) A SBITA is a contract that conveys control of the right to use another party’s (a SBITA vendor’s) IT software, alone or in combination with tangible capital assets (the underlying IT assets), as specified in the contract for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction.
At the commencement of a SBITA, the City initially measures the subscription liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the contract term. Subsequently, the subscription liability is reduced by the principal portion of payments made. The subscription asset is initially measured as the initial amount of the subscription liability, adjusted for payments made at or before the SBITA commencement date, plus certain initial direct costs.
Subsequently, the subscription asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over shorter of the subscription term or the useful life of the underlying IT assets.
Key estimates and judgments related to SBITAs include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected subscription payments to present value, (2) subscription term, and (3) subscription payments as follows:
• The City uses the interest rate charged by the IT vendor as the discount rate. When the interest rate charged by the IT vendor is not provided, the City generally uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for subscription liabilities. • The subscription term includes the noncancellable period of the subscription. • Subscription payments included in the measurement of the subscription liability are composed of fixed payments and purchase option price that the City is reasonably certain to exercise.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its subscription and will remeasure the subscription asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the subscription liability.
Subscription assets are reported with other capital assets and subscription liabilities are reported as long-term debt on the statement of net position.
In fiscal year 2023, the City implemented the provisions of GASB Statement No. 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements, which required the City to record an intangible right-to-use subscription asset and subscription liability. As a result, the City recorded initial right-to-use subscription assets in the amount of $1,196,545 and subscription liabilities in the amount of $1,065,310. The difference of $131,235 represents capitalizable implementation costs and prepayments made on the subscription that were not included in the measurement of the liability. Governmental activities beginning net position at July 1, 2022, was restated and increased by $131,235.

IV. Other information
A. Risk management
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The City also provides health insurance coverage to employees. There have been no significant reductions in insurance coverage for any risk of loss in the past fiscal year, and settled claims have not exceeded the commercial coverage in any of the past three fiscal years. The City has established a risk management fund to account for and finance its uninsured risks of loss.
The City's risk management programs provide coverage for up to a maximum of $150,000 for each Workers' Compensation claim; $500,000 for each General Liability claim. The City purchases commercial insurance for claims in excess of coverage provided by the self-insurance programs. There have been no significant changes in insurance coverage as compared to last fiscal year.
All funds of the City participate in the self-insurance programs. The employee health insurance program is funded by contributions of a flat rate per employee to the self-insurance fund. Other self-insurance programs are funded by budgeted appropriations. Funding is estimated to provide amounts needed to pay prior and current fiscal year claims and to establish reserves for catastrophic losses.

B. Public entity risk pool
In November 1994, the City became a member of the Public Agency Risk Sharing Authority of California (PARSAC), formerly known as California Municipal Insurance Authority (CMIA).
PARSAC, a consortium of 34 municipalities and one fire district, which was established in May 1986 to pool resources, share risks, purchase excess insurance, and to share costs for professional risk management and claims administration. The Authority’s governing board consists of one appointed official and an alternate from participating cities.
General liability
The City is self-insured for general liability claims up to $500,000 (effective July 1, 2023) for each occurrence. Coverage for individual losses in excess of $500,000, up to $10,000,000 is provided through the California Intergovernmental Risk Authority (CIRA). Under this program, members share in losses between the members’ individual self-insured retention and $1,000,000 under a risk sharing pool program; and from $1,000,000 to $40,000,000, coverage is provided by another risk pool, CSAC-EIA.
Estimates for all liabilities have been accrued in the Self-Insurance Internal Service Fund, which included an estimate for incurred but not reported claims. At June 30, 2023, total estimated claims payable for General Liability were $1,245,553.

C. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
Various claims and lawsuits are pending against the City. In the opinion of City management, the potential claims loss will not be significant to the City's financial statements.
Grant audits
The City receives grants for specific purposes that are subject to review and audit by grantor agencies. Such audits could result in a request for reimbursement by the grantor for expenditures disallowed under the terms and conditions of the appropriate agency. In the opinion of City management, such disallowance, if any, will not be significant.
Contingency
Proposition 218, which was approved by the voters in November 1996, regulates the City’s ability to impose, increase and extend taxes, assessments and fees. Any new, increased or extended taxes, assessments, and fees subject to the provisions of Proposition 218 require voter approval before they can be implemented. Additionally, Proposition 218 provides that these taxes, assessments, and fees are subject to the voter initiative process and may be rescinded in the future by the voters. Therefore, the City’s ability to finance the services for which the taxes, assessments and fees were imposed may be significantly impaired. Certain language in the initiative is unclear as to the scope and impact of the proposition. Future court rulings or state legislation may clarify these issues. At this time it is uncertain as to the effect that Proposition 218 will have on the City’s ability to maintain or increase the revenue it receives from taxes, assessments and fees, or its effect on interfund payments in lieu of taxes and transfers of surplus funds from enterprise funds to the general fund. Also unclear is the extent to which a 1995 California Supreme Court ruling (the Guardino case) upholding the voter approval requirements of a previously enacted state initiative (Proposition 62) is applicable to prior periods. However, because the City of Watsonville is a Charter City, management believes that the Guardino ruling does not apply to its general law application in the cited case.
D. Post-employment health care benefits
Retiree benefits – COBRA benefits
Under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), the City provides health care benefits to eligible former employees and their eligible dependents. Certain requirements are outlined by the federal government for this coverage. The premium plus a 2% administration fee is paid in full by the insured on or before the tenth day of the month for the actual month covered. This program is offered for a duration between 18 and 36 months, after the termination date, depending on circumstances related to eligibility to Medicare, death or divorce. During the last fiscal year two former employees participated in the program. 84 Attachment B

Contributions
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. Funding contributions for the Plan is determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30 by CalPERS. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability.
The City is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees.
B. Net Pension Liability
The City’s net pension liability for the Miscellaneous Plan is measured as the total pension liability less the pension plan’s fiduciary net pension. The net pension liability of the Plan is measured as of June 30, 2022, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2021 rolled forward to June 30, 2022 using standard update procedures. A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension liability is shown below.
Actuarial Assumptions - The total pension liabilities in the June 30, 2021 actuarial valuations were determined using the following actuarial assumptions:
Miscellaneous
Valuation Date June 30, 2021
Measurement Date June 30, 2022

Mortality Derived using CalPERS Membership Data for all Funds (3) (1) Depending on age, service and type of employment.
(2) Net of pension plan investment expenses, includes inflation. (3) The mortality table used was developed based on CalPERS' specific data. The table includes 15 years of Mortality improvements using the Society of Actuaries Scale 80% of scale MP 2020. For more details on this table, please refer to the CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions report from November 2021 2001 to 2019) that can be found on the CalPERS website.
87 Attachment B
CITY OF WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2023
The underlying mortality assumptions and all other actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2021 valuation were based on the results of a November 2021 actuarial experience study for the period 2001 to 2019. Further details of the Experience Study can be found on the CalPERS website.
Discount Rate – The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate for each Plan assumed that contributions from all plan members in the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF) will be made at the current member contributions rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, each Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members for all plans in the PERF. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments of current plan members for all plans in the PERF.
Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability for each Plan.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11+ years) using a building-block approach.
Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equal to the single equivalent rate calculated above and rounded down to the nearest one quarter of one percent.

Contributions – Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. Funding contributions for the Plan is determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30 by CalPERS.
The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the fiscal year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The City is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. Contributions to the pension plan from the City were $6,231,309 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Discount Rate – The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability for the plan was
6.90%. The projection used to determine the discount rate for the Plan assumed that contributions from all plan members in the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF) will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11+ years) using a building-block approach.
Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equal to the single equivalent rate calculated above and rounded down to the nearest one quarter of one percent.
The table below reflects the expected real rates of return by asset class.

F. Successor Agency Private-Purpose Trust Fund for Assets of former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Watsonville.
On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill 1X 26 (“Bill”) that provides for the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies in the State of California. This action impacted the reporting entity of the City of Watsonville that previously had reported a redevelopment agency within the reporting entity of the City as a blended component unit.
The Bill provides that upon dissolution of a redevelopment agency, either the city or other unit of local government will agree to serve as the “successor agency” to hold the assets until they are distributed to other units of state and local governments. On January 10, 2012, the City Council elected to become the Successor Agency for the former redevelopment agency in accordance with the Bill as part of City.
Resolution Number 4-12
After enactment of the law, which occurred on June 28, 2011, redevelopment agencies in the State of California cannot enter into new projects, obligations or commitments. Subject to the control of a newly established oversight board, remaining assets can only be used to pay enforceable obligations in existence as the date of the dissolution (including the completion of any unfinished projects that were subject to legally enforceable contractual commitments).
Successor agencies are allocated revenue in the amount that is necessary to pay the estimated annual installment payments on enforceable obligations of former redevelopment agency until all enforceable obligations of the prior redevelopment agency have been paid in full and all assets have been liquidated.
95 Attachment B
CITY OF WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2023
The Bill directs the State Controller of the State of California to review the propriety of any transfers of assets between redevelopment agencies and other public bodies that occurred after January 1, 2011. If the public body that received such transfers is not contractually committed to a third party for the expenditure or encumbrance of those assets, the state Controller is required to order the available assets to be transferred to the public body designated as the successor agency by the Bill.
Management believes, in consultation with legal counsel, that the obligations of the former redevelopment agency due to the City are valid enforceable obligations payable by the successor agency trust under the requirements of the Bill. The City’s position on this issue is not a position of settled law and there is considerable legal uncertainty regarding this issue. It is reasonably possible that a legal determination may be made at a later date by an appropriate judicial authority that would resolve this issue unfavorably to the City.
In accordance with the timeline set forth in the Bill (as modified by the California Supreme Court on December 29, 2011) all redevelopment agencies in the State of California were dissolved and ceased to operate as a legal entity as of February 1, 2012. After the date of dissolution, the assets and activities of the dissolved redevelopment agency are reported in a fiduciary fund (private-purpose trust fund) in the financial statements of the City.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of City
Council of the City of Watsonville, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Measure Y Fund (the Fund) of the City of Watsonville, California (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, as listed in the Table of Contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of June 30, 2023, and the change in the financial position and budgetary comparison listed in the Table of Contents as part of the financial statements for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirement relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Emphasis of a Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only the Fund and do not purport to, and do not present fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2023, the changes in its financial position, for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter. 1 Attachment C
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 26, 2023, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2023
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting Entity
In the June 3, 2014 election, City of Watsonville (City) voters approved Measure G, establishing a temporary half-cent transaction sales and use tax. The Measure G Fund (Fund) was established to accumulate revenues transmitted by the State Board of Equalization (BOE), the agency responsible for administering and collecting the transactions and use taxes for the City, and apportion them to essential services outlined within the approved expenditure plan.
On March 3, 2020, City voters approved Measure Y to renew and continue the half-cent transaction sales and use tax. The fund was used to accumulate revenues transmitted by the State Board of Equalization and apportion them to essential services outlined within the approved expenditure plan.
The financial statements present only the activities of the Measure Y Fund, and are not intended to present the financial position and changes in financial position of the City of Watsonville, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
B. Basis of Accounting
The Measure Y Fund of the City is maintained on the modified accrual basis of accounting. As such, revenues are recognized when they become susceptible to accrual, that is, when they become both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period. Expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which the liability is incurred (when goods are received or services rendered).
C. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 2 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN
AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council of
the City of Watsonville, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the City of Watsonville (City) Measure Y Fund (the Fund) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 26, 2023. Our report included an emphasis of a matter paragraph disclosing the implementation of a new accounting principle.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the City’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. We identified a deficiency in internal control that we consider to be a material weakness as listed on the Schedule of Material Weakness included as part of our separately issued Memorandum on Internal Control dated December 26, 2023, which is an integral part of our audit and should be read in conjunction with this report.
9 Attachment C
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed an instance of noncompliance or other matters that is required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards and is listed as finding 2023-01 in our separately issued Memorandum on Internal Control dated December 26, 2023, which is an integral part of our audit and should be read in conjunction with this report.
City’s Response to Findings
Government Auditing Standards require the auditor to perform limited procedures on the City’s response to the findings identified in our audit and described in our separately issued Memorandum on Internal Control dated December 26, 2023, which is an integral part of our audit and should be read in conjunction with this report. The City’s response was not subjected to the other auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

MEETING DATE: Tuesday, February 27, 2024
TO: City Council
FROM: CITY ATTORNEY ZUTLER
THROUGH: CITY MANAGER MENDEZ
SUBJECT: SAFE FIREARM STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Introduce, for first reading only, waiving full reading of the text, an Ordinance adding Section 4-
7.06 (Safe Firearm Storage) to Chapter 7 (Weapons) of Title 4 (Public Safety) of the Watsonville Municipal Code relating to the safe storage of firearms.
BACKGROUND:
This item was initially brought forward by Councilmember Dutra as an item to add to the agenda that was subsequently directed by the City Council as part of the process to bring forward. Part of that discussion was the idea to bring forward an ordinance regarding safe storage of firearms.
DISCUSSION:
Safe Storage Ordinances require that firearms be securely stored within private residences.
Generally, to comply with a safe storage ordinance, owners must store firearms in a locked container or disable the firearm with a trigger lock. Owners must also timely report missing or stolen firearms to law enforcement.
Safe storage ordinances are in effect in at least 20 California municipalities, including Morgan Hill, San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Cruz, and Saratoga.
Watsonville Municipal Code section 4-7-05 requires firearm dealers to equip all firearms sold or transferred with an effective trigger lock, but the WMC does not currently regulate residential storage of firearms.
Proposed Safe Storage Ordinance
State law requires that firearms be stored securely if the firearms can be accessed by a child or if a person who is prohibited from possessing a firearm is likely to gain access to the firearm. If adopted, this ordinance would require all firearms be stored in a locked container or
2/22/2024 8:04:58 PM
C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\2045667920\2045667920,,,Report - Safe Firearm Storage .docx disabled with a trigger lock, regardless of potential access by a child or prohibited person. The ordinance includes exceptions for when a police officer or firearm owner is carrying the firearm or exerts immediate control and possession of the firearm.
State law requires a firearm owner, within 5 days of suspecting or learning a firearm is missing, to report the missing firearm. If adopted, this ordinance would require any person who owns or possesses a firearm to report a missing firearm to the Watsonville Police Department within 48 hours of the time they suspect or know the firearm is missing if the person is a resident of Watsonville or the firearm went missing in Watsonville.
A violation of the proposed ordinance would be subject to enforcement through the City’s municipal code enforcement procedures outlined in Watsonville Municipal Chapter 2 (Penalty Provisions) of Title 1 (General Provisions). The procedures allow for a violation to be handled as an administrative, civil, or criminal matter. The ordinance would not permit Police Department staff to enter a private residence to ensure compliance or take proactive enforcement action without a warrant. Enforcement would thus typically occur in conjunction with another incident or crime wherein a person is found to have gained access to a firearm unlawfully stored.
Requiring safe firearm storage is intended to decrease the risk of harm to children and the entire community from unauthorized access to firearms. The proposed ordinance extends current safe storage requirements to all gun owners, providing more protection than State law, and aims to further reduce accidental gun shootings, gun-related homicides and suicides, and theft of unsecured firearms.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact as a result of this item, beyond the minimal costs to update the ordinance.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
The City Council could decline to introduce the ordinance, or direct staff to revise the draft presented.

WHEREAS, the City of Watsonville, California (“City”) does not presently regulate firearm storage within residential locations; and
WHEREAS, firearm injuries have significant adverse public health and safety impact nationally, regionally, and locally; and
WHEREAS, improperly stored firearms may result in accidental firearm injuries and/or deaths, particularly in homes with children; and WHEREAS, having a loaded or unlocked firearm in the home has been associated with an increased risk of firearm-related injury and death, as well as theft of the firearm; and
WHEREAS, a firearm stored while loaded or unloaded increases the risk of an accidental shooting, and has been associated with higher risks of suicide; and WHEREAS, utilizing gun locks or lock boxes when storing firearms in the home reduces the risk of firearm injury, death, and firearm theft; and WHEREAS, keeping a firearm locked when it is not being carried ensures that it

Meeting Date: 022724
cannot be accessed or used by others without the owner’s knowledge or permission, decreasing the risk that the gun will be used to commit suicide, homicide, or inflict injury, whether intentionally or unintentionally; and
WHEREAS, the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend the safe storage of firearms; and WHEREAS, requiring stored, unsupervised firearms to be secured with gun locks or in a locked container does not substantially burden the right or ability to use firearms for self-defense in the home; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that requiring safe storage of firearms would constitute a sensible safety regulation and would not be unduly burdensome for firearm owners.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

Meeting Date: 022724
(c) This Section does not apply when a firearm is carried on the person of, or is otherwise in the immediate control and possession of, a peace officer (as defined in California Penal Code Section 830 et seq., as may be amended from time to time). (d) It is not the intention of this chapter to regulate any conduct if the regulation of such conduct has been preempted by state or federal law.

(f) Any person who owns or possesses a firearm shall report the theft or loss of the firearm to the City of Watsonville Police Department within forty-eight (48) hours of the time the person suspected or knew that the firearm had been stolen or lost, if:
(1) the person who owns or possessed the stolen or lost firearm resides in the City; or
(2) the theft or loss of the firearm occurred in the City.
SECTION 3. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The City Council finds and determines that this Ordinance, which regulates the safe storage of firearms, is not subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because it is not a project, since it will not have a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect impact on the environment.
SECTION 4. SEVERABILITY
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase or word of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, unlawful or otherwise invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance.
