REVIEW OF SCHOOL RADIUS MAPS (Marijuana Dispensaries) • Mr. Richardson indicated there are concerns with the first draft of the initiative and that there is a need to regulate the uses. Schools need to be a free zone from marijuana use. The SAUSD is interested in working with the City to manage dispensary areas. • Chief Rojas indicated there is a Federal code that requires a minimum of 600 foot radius for the placement of dispensary around schools. Approximately 109 locations have been closed that did not meet this requirement. • Mr. O'Rourke indicated that the November 14th ballot has the language of the initiative. The question is -will local measures supersede the Federal requirement? City Council and SAUSD will need to work together to support an ordinance and /or regulation of this issue. • Mr. Reyna stated that he knows of the 600 ft. requirement, but would support an increase of the radius to 1,000 ft. • Mr. O'Rourke asked if this requirement includes private schools. If yes, this would help provide additional support. • Mr. Richardson indicated that there is a need to follow up by the end of the month on the local regulation requirement. REVIEW OF JOINT -USE AGREEMENTS o Centennial Park Home Run Fence • Mr. Dixon provided information on the fence issue and presented the Godinez Fundamental High School proposal to keep the homerun fence up year round. • Mr. Tinajero indicated although the District committed to no fence around the school, there is a need to fence the ballfields. He stated that in order to be competitive the District must play year round. • Mr. Mouet indicated that the original agreement with the District indicated no fencing. The agreement amendment allowed the District to fence, but the fence to be removed after the season. • Mr. Reyna asked if there were gaps in the fence for public access. The response was yes; between the ballfields. • Ms. Amezcua inquired if the reason for the fence to stay up is due to safety. • Mr. Mouet indicated the SAUSD /City staff will work on an amendment to allow the District to keep the fence up year round. o Centennial/Godinez Synthetic Turf • Mr. Mouet indicated that the City collects a soccer surcharge to build new synthetic turf fields. Currently, the account has a balance of approximately $400,000. The PREY Committee suggested using the funds to install synthetic turf on the Godinez football /soccer field.
