Preliminary Data

71% were medical

Yreka City Council Agenda January 16, 2024 8 of 198
We can’t volunteer ourselves
out of the future
With 2,025 alarms, what it
would look like if there
were still 41 volunteers as
in 1990:
1990 – 3 alarms annually
per volunteer
2022 – 49 alarms annually
per volunteer
With 2,025 alarms, what it
would look like if we
hypothetically had 60
volunteers:
1990 – 2 alarms annually
per volunteer
2022 – 34 alarms annually
per volunteer
In 2022, there were 75 alarms annually per volunteer,
or an alarm about every 4 days per volunteer!
Yreka City Council Agenda
However, we will ALWAYS need volunteers!
January 16, 2024 9 of 198
The truth is, for the YFD to be safe
and efficient on every call, we need
TWO responders per call.
• The analyses from the previous slides were presented on a calls (alarms) per volunteer. However, for safety, effectiveness, and efficiency, the YFD needs at least TWO responders per call/alarm:
With 2,025 alarms in 2022, to meet the “two responder” safety and efficiency requirement, each volunteer would need to respond:
With 41 volunteers, 98 alarms annually per volunteer
With 60 volunteers, 68 alarms annually per volunteer
With 27 volunteers in 2022: 150 alarms per volunteer
The reality in 2023 with 22 First responders, to share the response load equitably would mean each volunteer would need to respond to 184 alarms! Yreka City Council Agenda January 16, 2024 10 of 198
But the reality is much different
3.2 alarms per day (1,118)
2.7 alarms per day (952)
2.7 alarms per day (944)
1.9 alarms per day (659)
Yreka City Council Agenda January 16, 2024 11 of 198
What has changed since 1990?
• AB 1127 became codified in January 2000. It eliminated many of the immunities from civil and criminal liabilities formerly granted to government employees in cases involving violations of workplace safety standards. Local government officials now can face individual fines, prison, and civil lawsuits if they fail to provide a safe workplace. • SB 1207 became law January 2001. For purposes of Labor law, it considers Volunteer Firefighters to be “employees.” Enforcement was postponed until 2004.
Yreka City Council Agenda January 16, 2024 12 of 198

Evolving Risks, Hazards and
Demographics
Unfortunately, we cannot turn the hands of time backwards. • Vehicles are far more complicated with multiple air bags, EV’s and hybrids, manufactured with more plastics
• Structures are built with many composites. Homes are filled with plastics and myriad chemicals that require special training • Yreka population:
• 1960: 4,759 128 residents per first responder
• 1990: 6,948 169 residents per first responder
• 2020: 7,807 289 residents per first responder

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Prepared by: Juliana Lucchesi, AICP Community Development Director Agenda Title: Approval of Resolution 2024-01 Resolution Of The City Council Of The City Of Yreka Accepting Irrevocable Offer To
Dedication #2022-28 Finley Bros. Properties LLC, Todd W.
Whipple And Stacey R. Whipple, Trustees Portion Of Northview Drive
Meeting date: January 16, 2024
Recommended Action:
Motion to approve Resolution 2024-01 “A Resolution Of The City Council Of The City Of Yreka Accepting Irrevocable Offer To Dedication #2022-28 Finley Bros. Properties LLC, Todd W. Whipple And Stacey R. Whipple, Trustees Portion Of Northview Drive And Making Findings That The Acceptance Of The Irrevocable Offer Of Dedication Is Exempt Under Section 15301 Of The California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines”
Summary:
The City of Yreka received a Tentative Parcel Map application from Finley Bros.
Properties, a Limited Liability Corporation, which was approved by the City Council of the City of Yreka. The City of Yreka and Dan Wallace, Surveyor and Applicant’s Surveyor, discovered a 0.055-acre portion of Northview Drive was not deeded to the city as part of the original Northview Estates Subdivision. The portion of Northview Drive is developed to City roadway standards and maintained by the City for public access to private property in that area. City Staff, with the assistance of Dan Wallace, have prepared documentation to dedicate the portion of Northview Drive to the City for future utilization and maintenance.
Project Location:
The proposed property dedication is located in the northwestern portion of the City of Yreka within the North View Estates Subdivision. Attachment 3 of this staff report illustrates the portion of Northview Drive that would be dedicated to the City of Yreka. The portion of Northview Drive is currently part of Assessor’s Parcel Number 053-711-100
Yreka City Council Agenda January 16, 2024 81 of 198
Environmental Review:
City Staff studied the potential environmental impacts of the acceptance of this dedication pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City Staff concluded that the acceptance of the irrevocable offer of dedication qualifies as exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15103 of the CEQA Guidelines because the permanent dedication involves a portion of Northview Drive that is currently improved with public street facilities and currently maintained by the City and there is negligible or no expansion of the existing use.
Staff Recommendation:
City Staff recommend the City Council accept the irrevocable dedication of the
0.055-acre portion of Northview Drive and make the finding that the acceptance would be exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15103. The dedication would allow the city to continue public access and maintenance of the 0.055-acre portion of Northview Drive.

Agreement Number: 0000000000000000000098287
Grant Number: G23-017
Executive Summary
The Cannabis Local Jurisdiction Retail Access Grant Program provides funding to local jurisdictions that do not currently have a local cannabis retailer licensing program to assist them in developing and implementing a program and issuing permits pursuant to the program.
Instructions: Provide an executive summary paragraph summarizing how grant funds will be utilized. Outline the specific steps the jurisdiction will take to establish a local cannabis retailer licensing program and to issue retailer licenses pursuant to the program.
The City of Yreka will be utilizing the grant to pay for the initial cost of establishing a cannabis licensing program. At grant application the City Council authorized a medicinal non storefront licensing program, with the expected issuance of one to three licenses. It is through the public engagement process for community input into the types of licensing programs, the City will re-evaluate the types of licensing programs that should be established.
With the assistance of the consultant, the City will benefit from setting up processes to accommodate both adult and medicinal, non-storefront and retail, to avoid redoing processes, and that the ordinances can be drafted to reflect these options, if not all sections of the ordinance are implemented initially by the City Council.
The equity licensing opportunity gives the City a chance to utilize its consultant and planning department to establish an equity program to benefit cannabis licensing for all applicants, and program can become a framework for additional processes where the City has not taken into consideration a robust equity program, e.g., general business licensing.
Jurisdiction Program Details
A. Provide a detailed description of the status of cannabis retail licensing within your jurisdiction.
The city has municipal code that bans the sale, storage, and distribution of marijuana/cannabis in city limits, (YMC Chapters Public Peace, Safety and Morals 9.25-9.27, and Zoning: 16.100.010) B. Describe in detail the specific steps your jurisdiction has taken, if any, to develop a local cannabis retailer licensing program. If your local jurisdiction has not taken any action on the establishment of a retailer program, please say so.
The City has (1) applied for and received notification of the grant award to assist with development of a licensing program, (2) solicited and received a responsive, qualified cannabis consulting firm’s proposal to assist with public outreach, licensing, permitting, municipal code updates and the development of an equity licensing program. (3) The City has conducted a special meeting to hear and listen to a speaker brought forward by residents concerned about the use of cannabis – primary outcome was that those residents felt heard. The City expects a public outreach campaign and has procured Citizen Lab ™, a project-based cloud-engagement application, and the City is the process of onboarding the product.
Goals and Intended Outcomes
List the goals and intended outcomes of this funding opportunity as they apply to your jurisdiction’s anticipated local retail licensing program. Goals should explain how funding will be utilized to establish a cannabis retailer licensing program and to describe how the jurisdiction will issue retailer licenses. The intended outcome(s) should describe the specific change(s) or result(s) that may occur when the goal is achieved. Also, include which budget line items from your revised budget will be tied to these goals. At a minimum, the following goals should be addressed, additional goals may also be added:
Goal 1. Develop and implement a local cannabis retailer licensing program.
Insert goal description. How does this goal support the grant? How will it be accomplished? The City will develop a local cannabis licensing program. The City will initially conduct community outreach, Yreka City Council Agenda January 16, 2024 113 of 198

education, and engagement exercises to receive community input. The input received will be incorporated into the City’s licensing program priorities and goals. The City will utilize an experienced consultant with establishing retail cannabis licensing programs to facilitate the engagement process. Based upon that engagement and City Council direction, consultant will draft ordinance, allowing within the draft for varying levels of retail licensing program implementation, that can be easily implemented. For example, in the initial application, the medical only, retail nonstorefront (delivery) was elected, however through the engagement process and or time, the City (residents and elected officials), may want future program expansion to retail storefront facilities. Through engagement, code development, and permitting, the licensing program should factor in those aspects to account for a scalable program.

CITY OF YREKA
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMORANDUM
To: Yreka City Council
From: Jason Ledbetter, City Manager
Prepared By: Rhetta Hogan, Assistant City Manager
Agenda Title: Resolution 2023-16 of the City Council of the City of Yreka Authorizing State of California Local Jurisdiction Cannabis Retail Access Grant Program Funding.
Meeting Date: March 21, 2023
Discussion:
The State of California, Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) is offering grant funds to assist cities and counties for the development and implementation of a local cannabis retailer licensing program.
The DCC recognizes that by supporting local governments in establishing cannabis retail licensing programs, this grant also seeks to reduce the size of the illicit market and establish sufficient cannabis retail stores statewide to meet existing consumer demand.
The grant application is due by April 28, 2023, and applications are being accepted as of March 10, 2023. Funds are allocated on a first come first serve basis. Grant award announcements are due June 30, 2023 and the City must expend funds by June 30, 2026.
The Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA) establishes a dual (state and local) regulatory structure for the cannabis businesses. And as of February 1, 2023, 327 cities and counties (61%) in California do not allow establishment of any cannabis retailers, whether storefront or non-storefront (delivery), within their jurisdiction. This grant program aims to provide consumers with reliable access to regulated, tested cannabis in the legal market, and reduce demand in the illicit market.
Grant funds are available only to eligible local jurisdictions (city, county, or city and county) located in California. A local jurisdiction is eligible if, as of February 14, 2023, it:
• Does not have a local cannabis retailer licensing program, and • Has a plan to develop and implement a program to issue permits to cannabis retail businesses that establish within its jurisdiction.
The City would be eligible to apply for $100,000 and could be eligible for an additional $15,000 should the application include an equity inclusion licensing component.
Eligible costs include, but are not limited, to the following:
• Salaries and benefits for local government staff directly involved in the development or implementation of the cannabis retailer licensing program. • Expenses to develop or implement application processes for cannabis retailer licenses, including software costs.
• Expenses to conduct stakeholder outreach or community engagement to inform the development of the cannabis retailer licensing program. • Local government staff costs or other professional preparation of CEQA-compliant environmental documents for cannabis retailers.
• Technical support for applicants and licensees.
Yreka City Council Agenda January 16, 2024 138 of 198
2 • Other uses that further the intent of the program, as determined by DCC.
Additional grant funding provided in either Phase I or II for adoption of an equity program or issuance of an equity license must be used for the benefit of the cannabis equity program or cannabis equity businesses. Eligible uses for equity bonus funding include:
• Fee waivers, tax relief, or similar direct-financial assistance for equity applicants and licensees • Development of infrastructure to support and/or prioritize equity applicants in the permitting process
• Technical assistance for equity applicants or licensees, including, but not limited to:
o State or local license application assistance
o Assistance with regulatory compliance
• Other uses that support the success of equity applicants or licensees, as determined by DCC Fiscal Impact:
Staff time to prepare the application. Grant funds would cover the administrative and legal cost of implementing a plan focused on the City’s local needs, prior to a statewide allowing storefront distribution center (delivery).
The Medicinal Cannabis Patients' Right of Access Act, which, on and after January 1, 2024, prohibits a local jurisdiction from adopting or enforcing any regulation that prohibits the retail sale by delivery within the local jurisdiction of medicinal cannabis to medicinal cannabis patients or their primary caregivers by medicinal cannabis businesses, as defined, or that has the effect of prohibiting the retail sale by delivery within the local jurisdiction of medicinal cannabis to medicinal cannabis patients or their primary caregivers in a timely and readily accessible manner and in types and quantities that are sufficient to meet demand from medicinal cannabis patients within the local jurisdiction, as specified. The bill, on and after January 1, 2024, provides that the act may be enforced by an action for writ of mandate brought by a medicinal cannabis patient or their primary caregiver, a medicinal cannabis business, the Attorney General, or any other party otherwise authorized by law. To the extent this bill would impose additional duties on local jurisdictions, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
Senate bill 1186 signed into law in by Governor Newson in Sept. 2022. https://www.gov.ca.gov/2022/09/18/governor-newsom-signs-legislation-to-strengthen-californiascannabis-laws/ Recommended Action:

Grant Guidelines – February 2023
II. Grant Program Requirements
Eligible Applicants
Grant funds are available only to eligible local jurisdictions (city, county, or city and county) located in California. A local jurisdiction is eligible if, as of February 14, 2023, it:
• Does not have a local cannabis retailer licensing program • Has a plan to develop and implement a program to issue permits to cannabis retail businesses that establish within its jurisdiction
Jurisdictions that have already begun development of a cannabis retailer licensing program may be eligible if it:
• Has not yet begun accepting permit applications for cannabis retailers • Has not yet published permit application forms
• Has not yet permitted any cannabis retailers within their jurisdiction A note on cities and counties
For purposes of cannabis regulation in California, cities and counties are regarded as separate local jurisdictions (except for San Francisco, which is both a city and county). A county is the local authority for businesses within the unincorporated areas of the county.
An incorporated city is the local authority for businesses within its boundaries.
A county is eligible for the grant program if it meets the criteria for eligibility described above, even if there are incorporated cities within that county that already permit cannabis retailers. Conversely, an incorporated city is eligible for the grant program if it meets the eligibility criteria above, even if it is located within a county that already permits cannabis retailers.
Examples of eligible local jurisdictions
• A local jurisdiction that currently prohibits all commercial cannabis activity but has a plan to develop and implement a program to issue permits to commercial cannabis retail businesses within its jurisdiction.
• A local jurisdiction that has passed a law to allow retail cannabis businesses but has not yet begun accepting permit application forms.
• A county that currently prohibits the establishment of cannabis retailers within the unincorporated area of the county, even if incorporated cities within that county already permit cannabis retailers.
• A city that currently prohibits the establishment of cannabis retailers within its boundaries, even if that city is located within a county that already permits cannabis retailers.

Funding Rounds
This grant program will provide $20 million in funding, distributed in two phases:
• Phase I provides funding to support local jurisdictions in the development and implementation of a local cannabis retailer licensing program. Up to $10 million in total funding is available, and awards will be announced by June 20, 2023. • Phase II awards additional funding after the local jurisdiction issues cannabis retailer permits.

Grant Guidelines – February 2023
IV. Selection Process
Application Review
Grant applications will be screened for eligibility and completeness. Applications will be disqualified if they are:
• Submitted by an ineligible applicant
• Incomplete
• Received after the application deadline
DCC may request clarification regarding the submitted application, as needed, during the review process. Applicants will be notified if they do not meet the eligibility requirements and will be provided five business days to respond before a final determination of disqualification is made.
Application Processing Order
Eligible applications will be processed in the order that they are received, beginning with those that receive the highest number of priority review points and ending with those receiving no priority points (as described below), until funding is exhausted. Applications with six priority review points will be processed first, followed by applications with five priority review points, then four, and so on. Applications with no priority review points will be processed last.
If a Grant applicant withdraws their application to make modifications and submits a new application, the date the new application is received by DCC will be used in determining the processing order.
Priority Funding
This grant program prioritizes funding to local jurisdictions that propose to assist cannabis equity businesses, address gaps in consumer access to safe and regulated cannabis, or plan to permit cannabis retailers through existing business permitting processes. To accomplish this, eligible applications will be awarded priority review points, as follows:
• Two (2) priority review points will be awarded to local jurisdictions whose proposed retail program contains provisions to assist equity applicants. • Two (2) priority review points will be awarded to local jurisdictions in which consumption of cannabis and cannabis products in the county exceeds that county’s proportional share of legal cannabis retailers. • One (1) priority review point will be awarded to local jurisdictions whose proposed retail program will license cannabis retail businesses through the local jurisdiction’s existing non-cannabis-business license process.
Yreka City Council Agenda January 16, 2024 151 of 198
13 Cannabis Local Jurisdiction Retail Access Grant
Grant Guidelines – February 2023
• One (1) priority review point will be awarded to local jurisdictions whose proposed retail program will license cannabis retail business projects only that are eligible for a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Priority Review Points: Equity Licensing Opportunities
DCC is committed to providing equity to communities harmed by past cannabis criminalization through local pathways to licensure and business success. Local jurisdictions that submit a plan to incorporate equity into their permitting process will be eligible for two (2) priority review points.
Additional funding will be awarded in both phases of this grant program for local governments that adopt equity programs and issue cannabis retailer licenses to equity businesses.
Priority Review Points: Consumption Exceeding Retail Share This grant program aims to provide consumers with better access to regulated, tested cannabis and reducing the need for consumers to turn to the illicit market. To achieve this aim, priority review points will be allocated for areas of the state in which the proportion of licensed cannabis retail outlets is low compared to its share of consumer consumption, or in which no legal retailers are established (as shown in Appendix B).
Two (2) priority review points will be allocated to the following counties or cities located within the counties, where grant-eligible:
• Amador County
• Butte County
• Contra Costa County
• Fresno County
• Glenn County
• Kern County
• Lassen County
• Madera County
• Orange County
• Placer County
• San Benito County
• San Diego County
• San Joaquin County
• San Mateo County
• Santa Clara County
• Sutter County
• Tehama County
• Yuba County

Grant Guidelines – February 2023
Priority Review Points: Existing Business Licensing Pathways and CEQA Exemptions
The experience of local jurisdictions that have proactively regulated cannabis has shown that:
• Establishing cannabis-specific licensing programs can be resource and time intensive
• Utilizing existing permitting and review pathways can simplify cannabis permitting processes
To support local jurisdictions in expeditiously developing cannabis retailer licensing programs, one (1) priority review point will be awarded to jurisdictions that propose to license cannabis businesses through existing business permitting process already in existence for non-cannabis businesses.
Additionally, one (1) priority review point will be awarded to jurisdictions whose proposed retail program will license cannabis retail business projects only that are eligible for categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Notification of Grant Award
DCC will announce grant awards in early June 2023. Successful applicants will receive a Grant Award Notification and must enter into a Grant Agreement to receive funds.

V. Grant Implementation
Grant Agreement
Grant recipients must enter into a Grant Agreement which specifies terms and conditions relevant to the receipt and use of grant funding. The following items will be incorporated by reference into the Grant Agreement:
• The content of this solicitation and related terms and conditions (see Appendix C:
Grant Agreement – Standard Terms and Conditions)
• The grant recipient’s submitted application materials, including any clarifications provided during the review process, which will comprise the Scope of Work Both DCC and the selected applicant must sign the Grant Agreement to execute it. An executed Grant Agreement must be in place before funding will be disbursed or expenditures may begin.
The term of the grant agreement will be July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2026.
Requirements Prior To Execution of Grant Agreement
Prior to the execution of the Grant Agreement, the local jurisdiction will be required to submit a resolution of its governing body (i.e., the county board of supervisors or city council) that commits the entity to:
• Comply with the requirements of the Grant Agreement
• Accept grant funds from DCC
The resolution may be written so as to allow for grant amendments without governing body approval. A sample resolution is included in Appendix D.
As an alternative to submitting a resolution of its governing body, the local jurisdiction may instead show that the governing body has previously authorized another decisionmaker within the local jurisdiction to make these commitments on behalf of the local jurisdiction. In this circumstance, the local jurisdiction must submit evidence of this authorization (for example, a local ordinance delegating authority to the relevant decisionmaker within the local jurisdiction), as well as a commitment from the relevant decisionmaker on behalf of the local jurisdiction.
Completion of Grant Agreement
Signed Grant Agreements, Payee Data Form (STD. 204), and approved governing board resolutions or authorizations must be returned to DCC no later than October 1, 2023. If these are not returned by the deadline, DCC, in its sole discretion, may withdraw the award and redirect funds to another eligible applicant, as needed.

Fund Disbursement
Phase I Fund Disbursement
DCC will distribute the first Phase I funds directly to a local jurisdiction after the award process is completed and the local jurisdiction has entered into the Grant Agreement.
Payments will be made through the State Controller’s Office.
Phase I funding will be disbursed in two payments:
• 1st Payment: 80% of the initial award, distributed upon execution of the Grant Agreement
• 2nd Payment: The remaining 20% of the initial award (including equity bonus funding, if eligible) distributed after the jurisdiction has established the cannabis retail licensing program
The grant recipient must notify DCC of its eligibility to receive the second payment by submitting the Payment Request Form (DCC-2630) and an updated budget expenditures report to [email protected], no later than October 31, 2025. If the second payment includes equity bonus funding, the jurisdiction must include an updated Budget Form detailing how the equity bonus funds will be spent.
Phase II Fund Disbursement
Jurisdictions may request Phase II funding disbursements after the issuance of a cannabis retailer permit. To request Phase II funding, the jurisdiction must submit the Payment Request Form (DCC-2630).
A local jurisdiction may not receive Phase II funding for the issuance of a retailer license until the locally-licensed business has submitted a complete state license application. A local jurisdiction may not be awarded more than $2,000,000 for retailer licenses issued in Phase II.
After DCC verifies eligibility for the Phase II payment, the funding will be scheduled for disbursement. Approved Phase II funding awards will be processed for payment in September and April of each year of the grant program. Phase II funding will be awarded until the funds are depleted. Payments will be made through the State Controller’s Office.
Disbursement of Remaining Funds
Grant program funds not originally distributed, and funds recaptured by DCC, may be distributed to any eligible local jurisdiction, as determined by DCC.
Recapture of Funds
Any remaining amounts of funding allocated to local jurisdictions that are not expended by June 30, 2026, pursuant to each local jurisdiction’s approved application by the Department of Cannabis Control, shall revert to, and be paid and deposited in, the General Fund.

Appendix B: List of jurisdictions in which consumption of cannabis and cannabis products exceeds the county’s proportional share of legal cannabis retailers The data below is an analysis to estimate cannabis consumption in California. This data reflects data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), population data from the United States Census Bureau and estimated cannabis use rates per capita.
The NSDUH reports past month usage (regular consumers) and past year usage (casual consumers) of cannabis. Consistent with previous state estimates, this analysis assumes regular consumers consume an average of 21 grams of cannabis flower or equivalent cannabis product per month; it assumes casual consumers consume an average of 3.5 grams per month. These values are conservative and may be higher than actual figures.
Based on this analysis, the average total consumption of cannabis and cannabis products per licensed cannabis retailer is approximately 2,359 pounds. The counties in orange and with an asterisk by their name are:
• Those in which consumption amount per licensed retailer is higher than the average, or • Those in which no legal retailers exist and consumption is higher than the average.
In these counties, the number of licensed cannabis retailers are low compared to its share of consumer consumption, indicating that consumers in these areas would benefit from expanded access to licensed retail cannabis.

Limitations of Data Sources
The NSDUH data underlying this analysis has limitations common to survey research, including the potential for sample biases and weighting errors. The data are based on self-reports of cannabis use, and their value depends on respondents’ truthfulness and memory. While NSDUH procedures were designed to address such concerns, some underreporting or overreporting may take place. Learn more about the strengths and limitations of NSDUH data.
SAMHSA provides state and substate regional data from the NSDUH. In some cases, these substate regions contain multiple counties. Adult population data from the United States Census Bureau was used to extrapolate cannabis consumption levels by county from the broader regional data. Additionally, some regionalized data is not available due to data collection challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Where that is the case, the estimates in this analysis represent projected levels of cannabis consumption using historical averages and trends combined with the most recent available NSDUH data.
Despite these limitations, this data analysis serves as a good estimate of the relative share of total cannabis consumption in counties, as needed for the administration of this grant program.
