Fiscal Impact Statement: The L.A. for Kids Steering Committee reports that adoption of an Ordinance and Resolution of Intention to levy the Proposition K: L.A. for Kids Assessment for FY 2022-23 indicates the Council's intention to levy assessments totaling $25 million to acquire and construct park and recreational and cultural facilities serving youth. The assessment can only be used for capital improvements, acquisition of land, Proposition K Program administration and maintenance of completed projects. The operating cost for Proposition K projects completed in future years will be funded by the annual operating budget adopted for City departments and with independent funding for projects operated by external entities. Proposition K will provide $7.96 million in the current fiscal year, and $5.01 million in the upcoming fiscal year, for City cost recovery. These monies provide reimbursements for program administration and maintenance of completed projects. In total, there are ten City Departments that qualify for cost recovery through the program, which include: the Bureau of Construction Administration, Bureau of Engineering, City Attorney, Cultural Affairs, ITA, CAO, CLA, Public Works Accounting, the Zoo Department and the Department of Recreation and Parks. The RAP reports an annual fiscal impact of $9.62 million once active Proposition K projects, currently in various stages of development, become operational over future years. This includes $4.19 million for maintenance and $5.43 million for operations as detailed in Attachments 5 and 6 of the May 4, 2020, L.A. for Kids Steering Committee report, attached to the Council file. The fiscal impact for completed projects will be partially offset by Proposition K maintenance funding. However, this annual offset will no longer be available once the program sunsets in 2026-27. In 2021-22, RAP will receive an award of $7.01 million for current year maintenance awards, detailed in Attachment 9 of the May 4, 2020, L.A. for Kids Steering Committee report. Financial Policies Statement: The L.A. for Kids Steering Committee reports that the actions recommended in this report comply with the City’s Financial Policies.

Unlicensed cannabis businesses undermine the ability of legal cannabis businesses to operate competitively and fairly in the City, as unlicensed cannabis businesses do not incur costs related to obtaining operating licenses. Additionally, the City will not realize the full potential of tax revenue generated from the regulated market if a significant number of illegal cannabis businesses continue to operate. The City has adopted several enforcement actions in an effort to curb the operation of unlicensed cannabis businesses. In 2018, Councilmembers Harris-Dawson and Rodriguez introduced a Motion (C.F. 14-0366-S31) that lead to the adoption of an ordinance authorizing the Department of Building and Safety (DBS) to padlock, barricade, and fence property where unlicensed commercial cannabis activity occurs. The ordinance requires the issuance of a notice, and allows property owners or occupants to request an administrative hearing to have these protective devices removed from the property. On October 5, 2021, the Council adopted Motion (Harris-Dawson - Rodriguez - Krekorian; C.F. 21-1007), which appropriated $874,000 to the Department of Building and Safety (DBS) for the implementation of the padlock ordinance on approximately 120 properties where unlicensed cannabis activities are occurring. As of March 2022, approximately 15 padlock actions have been completed on unlicensed cannabis businesses. The DBS has indicated that there have been mixed results as it relates to getting the unlicensed businesses to remain closed. The unlicensed businesses have repeatedly broken the protective devices on their shops in order to resume business, leading the DBS and Police Department to revisit these businesses and lock them up again. Recently, at an illegal cannabis shop on West Florence Avenue that had been subject to repeated padlock actions, an incident occurred where an employee of the shop was robbed and shot outside the store. While we commend efforts by the LAPD, DBS, and other City departments, there needs to be increased efforts to secure these illegal shops. As the end of the current fiscal year approaches, the City needs to evaluate the progress of the padlock enforcement actions to date and determine the additional resources that will be needed for further actions. I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the Department of Building and Safety and Los Angeles Police Department to report on the status of the City's padlock enforcement actions, including pending enforcement actions remaining in the fiscal year, resources that may be needed to complete the goal of securing all the illegal cannabis shops currently operating in the city, which LAPD estimates at 100, and any proposed adjustments to the padlock enforcement program in the upcoming fiscal year. I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council request the City Attorney to issue cease and desist letters to unlicensed cannabis businesses that have been subject to padlock enforcement actions, along with any other civil actions towards permanently closing these businesses before they pose a greater public safety risk to the City's residents. I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council instruct the Department of Cannabis Regulation, with the o assistance of the Chief Legislative Analyst, to report on best practices as it relates to cannabis enforcement measures against unlicensed cannabis businesses that other cities have in place. £?£!
