Ben Eilenberg, attorney from Orange County, represents legal dispensaries. None of his clients are in Santa Ana but he has been instructed to make himself available to those permitted dispensaries in Santa Ana who are having trouble with illegal ones operating. Peter Katz, President of Com -Link, suggests a proposal to assist the police oil 4th of July if the City wants to keep safe and sane fireworks. Mr. Katz proposes to have the 85 non -profits, the two fireworks companies, a large bank and/or some sponsor such as one of the auto dealerships, and some patrons donate and/or raise funds to hire off-duty Sheriff's deputies. James Wallace, concerned citizen, regarding the infrastructure in the city.

MOTION: Solorio SECOND: Villegas VOTE: AYES: Villegas, Solorio, Tinajero NOES: None (0) Motion carries. 13A-5 4. Update and Recommended Changes to Measure BB — Candida Neal, Planning Manager and Alvaro Nunez, Code Enforcement Manager, Planning & Building {Strategic Plan Goal No. 1, 1c} Planning Manager Candida Neal addressed the Council Committee regarding comments made at the last City Council meeting on May 2nd on how to proceed with Measure BB. Issues were brought up regarding permitted dispensaries: hours, delivery, signage, testing/R&D, and cash limits. The Planning Department believes the permitted dispensaries should be treated similar to other uses as long as there wouldn't be any secondary impacts around surrounding neighborhoods. These uses are located in industrial areas. In regards to administrative items, Manager Neal suggests an amendment to the Ordinance to include a revocation process. She also suggested modifying the Ordinance to allow the sale of the permit to a single owner since there is nothing in the Ordinance prohibiting someone from buying out the shares of other owners. Manager Neal asks the Committee to consider whether they want to increase or decrease the number of medical marijuana collectives allowed. In addition, if the City wants to expand uses in light of the statute passed in November allowing recreational use. ACTION: Chairman Solorio directs Staff to bring Ordinance amendment discussion to the City Council meeting in June. Bring a list of questions/policy issues to the Public Safety Meeting in July. Chairman Solorio asks for a special Public Safety meeting in mid-to-late June to discuss manufacturing/cultivation/ distribution. ACTION: Chairman Solorio asks the City Manager's Office to consider putting a second City Attorney position in the budget on the enforcement side and to reach out to Code Enforcement to see if they need additional personnel. City Attorney Tamara Bogosian asks Chairman Solorio if he is making a motion for the work- study session in June. She informs that her office has started preliminary drafts of revising the Measure BB Ordinance which is articulated in Section IS of the SAMC. Chairman Solorio makes a motion to have a study session for Public Safety Committee to be scheduled for mid-to-late June. MOTION: Solorio VOTE: AYES: NOES: Motion carries. SECOND: Villegas Villegas, Solorio, Tinajero None (0) 13A-6 Code Enforcement Manager Alvaro Nunez provides an update on enforcement related to this item including the closure process on illegal dispensaries, shows the Committee a sample of a Property Notice put on the building for illegal dispensaries and details the recent enforcement done in 2017. Going forward, asking for an increase in the budget for the City Attorney's Office to file receivership, collections and/or any additional civil actions. He also requests additional SAPD/Code Enforcement personnel. 5. Homelessness Crisis (Discuss possible recommendations regarding public safety and public health issues) — Deputy Chief Valentin and Commander Ibarra {Strategic Plan Goal No. 5, 3d} ACTION: Chairman Solorio directs the City Attorney's Office to draft an ordinance or policy making it unlawful for other public agencies to drop off a homeless individual in Santa Ana unless City personnel have been notified that a non-profit is expecting a drop off. Have an analysis of this for the homeless crisis matrix. (Item Na. 10 is taken out of order) 10. Strategies to Prevent Use of Illegal Fireworks — Cmdr. Ken Gominsky {Strategic Plan Goal No. 1, 2d} ACTION: Chairman Solorio wants Staff to consider two things: 1) Peter Katz, Com -Link, suggested reaching out to the fireworks companies, TNT, to see if they have a resource of any type to see if they can help us with education or enforcement; 2) After doing some research, we found that other cities, such as San Jose, have con mminication programs. Asks Staff to consider having an e-mail where residents can provide the City addresses of homes or businesses that use illegal fireworks ahead of time so that the Police or City Manager's Office can send letters to those addresses letting them know of fines and enforcement. This would also provide a target list of where the officers may want to go. (Item No. 9 is taken out of order.) 9. Santa Ana Police Department Website (Discuss what information should be included, i.e., crime statistics, etc.) — Acting Chief Schnabl and Chief TIO Jack Ciulla {Strategic Plan Goal No. 1, 2b} 13A-7 ACTION: Chairman Solorio directs staff to put more information on the PD website. The PD does have a Facebook page where they can put up information. Add a widget to PD website, so this information can be captured as well. Chairman Solorio exits the meeting — 6:35PM. Meeting resumes with Item No. 10. Commander Gominsky spoke on fireworks, addressing the education campaign and enforcement program for 2017. Due to lessons learned in prior years, he discusses community outreach activities this year to include partnering with OCFA to make a PSA, flyers and an e-mail blast with SAUSD, television media coverage, print media, and social media postings. He discussed enforcement operations and gave an overview of illegal fireworks confiscated in the past. 6. Police Officer Hiring and Presentation of New Marketing Proposals (Update) — Acting Chief Schnabl and Manager Carroll {Strategic Plan Goal No. 1, li} Police Admin. Manager Robert Carroll informed the Committee on the Department's police officer recruitment efforts. Mgr. Carroll goes over the number of all sworn staffing as well as current officers in the academy and those already in the training program. City Council approved an agreement with Sensis Marketing which is involved in all print and digital advertising. 7. Patrol Staffing Schedules and Their Impacts on Patrol Officer Coverage and Staffing Costs (Discuss 3/12, 4/10, 5/8 and hybrid models) — Deputy Chief Valentin and Cmdr. Ken Gominsky (Strategic Plan Goal No. 1, If) Cmdr. Ken Gominsky described the pros and cons of the patrol schedules for the officers in the city of Santa Ana. Several variables were looked at that influence the need for sworn staff. The Department has a finite amount of resources and the deployment must be based on those resources. Cmdr. Gominsky gives an overview of the following options: 8 -hour shift, 10 -hour shift, 3/12-4/12 shift and the 3/12 and a half hour schedule, particularly as they relate to Santa Ana PD. The 3/12-4/12 schedule enhances competitiveness and retention in the hiring process. 8. Graffiti Removal Program (Update and Discussion) — Pedro Guillen, Maintenance Services Manager, Public Works Agency and Sgt. Fidencio Zepeda {Strategic Plan Goal No. 1, lf} 13A-8 Maintenance Services Manager Pedro Guillen summarized the City's graffiti removal program with a power point presentation. The Public Works Agency outsourced the graffiti removal program in 2011, and. Manager Guillen gives a brief overview regarding the current vendor and services offered. There is a graffiti hotline as well as a Smartphone APP available; both add to increased efforts to remove graffiti rapidly. Manager Guillen provides statistics and marketing efforts. Mgr. Guillen explained that they also partner with the Santa Ana Unified School District. Graffiti evidence is stored in a software program that the Police Department utilizes when making arrests. COMMITTEE MEMBER COMMENTS Committee member Tinajero suggests that TNT Fireworks pay a fee to do business in the city of Santa Ana and to bring this up to full City Council. He said the cost is significant for calls for service regarding the fireworks issue. If a business is forcing the City to encroach on tax dollars, there's a responsibility there to the person providing the items to be sold. Suggested doing a study on how much overtime is paid during the 4`h of July weekend. Co -Chair Villegas liked the idea of a second phone number to call in illegal fireworks. Co -Chair Villegas and Committee member Tinajero agreed that key elements in the recruitment of police officers are competitive pay, a good benefits package, and retaining officers. The Committee members were engaged in the discussions, expressed interest in the presentations, and asked for some items to be brought back for further dialogue. They thanked Staff for their power points. FUTURE ITEMS Update and discuss parking permit program and enforcement. ADJOURNMENT — 7:25 P.M.
