STUDY SESSION
a. Report, discussion and direction regarding Medical Marijuana Dispensary
Moratorium.
Police Chief Sanderson advised that the moratorium the City Council adopted in October 2008
expires in September 2009 allowed the City to study the law regarding medical marijuana
dispensaries; he reported the moratorium was put in place due to conflicting laws between the
state and federal government that marijuana dispensaries are illegal enterprises that create
ancillary negative effects on the community; the State recently held a summit on the current
status of federal and state law including the California Attorney General's view on medical
marijuana dispensaries; he provided a brief summary of Federal law, California law, primary
caregivers, dispensaries, local government responses and enforcement of marijuana laws.
Mr. Deitsch reported and discussed some recent court cases and recommends the Zoning
Code be amended to make it clear that medical marijuana dispensaries are a prohibited use
throughout the City; and the Business License Ordinance also be amended to include that no
business licenses will be issued to any business that violates federal, state or local laws.
It was the consensus of the City Council to impose a ban on medical marijuana dispensaries
finding there are illegal enterprises according to federal law; that licensing such dispensaries
could be viewed as aiding and abetting a criminal enterprise; that California Law does not
recognize storefront dispensaries as true "collectives" and offer no legal protection for their
cultivation, possession or sales of marijuana; that ancillary negative consequences surround
medical marijuana dispensaries; and that medical marijuana dispensaries are heavily tied to
organized criminal activity and direct the City Attorney to prepare the appropriate ordinance for
Planning Commission and City Council consideration.

Don Penman, City Manager provided summaries of the City and Redevelopment Agency Fiscal
Year 2009-10 budgets. He reported the City's overall budget is $82 million dollars of which $46
million dollars is in the City's General Fund; that due to the recession and in anticipation that the
City would face a shortfall, the budget was trimmed approximately $1.3 million dollars leaving a
shortfall of $1,242,000; staff came up with a list of recommendations including revenue
enhancements, fund transfers and some cuts totaling $648,439 which lowered the General
Fund shortfall to $594,281. He advised that at the request of the City Council, staff meet with
employee groups to see if they would agree to voluntarily defer previously approved salary or
benefit increases to further assist in the shortfall; he reported that each of the employee groups
agreed to deferrals thereby reducing the shortfall to $286,000; he noted that employee groups
had existing contracts and were not compelled to defer any salary or benefit increases but
wanted to contribute to the solution. He noted the use of reserves to balance the budget will be
about $286,000. He advised that many years ago, a Citizen's Advisory Committee was formed
and determined the use of reserves is appropriate in the event of a revenue shortfall or
expenditures that are not accounted for and explained the policy goal to achieve a 20% reserve;
he discussed the Capital Improvement and Equipment Replacement Plan for 2009-10 which
has $9.9 million dollars in capital projects and includes over $5 million dollars in street projects,
most of which are being funded by federal stimulus money or federal grants; and discussed
restrictive funds and how they are used.
Mr. Penman also provided a brief summary of the Redevelopment Agency budget for fiscal year
2009-10; he noted the Agency continues to secure property for the Rusnak Expansion; that
there are plans to do work towards the Gold Line in the downtown area; various housing options
are being explored as the City is required to spend 20% of Redevelopment set aside for housing
projects which the City is currently in the process of acquiring.
Hue Quach, Administrative Services Director explained the General Fund operating budget for
fiscal year 2009-10 will have a beginning fund balance of $4,391,000; he provided an overview
of beginning fund balances, proposed expenditures, employee compensation and benefits
deferrals, revenue over expenditures and ending fund balances. He provided a summary of the
City's major revenue sources and uses of general fund monies, estimated revenues from
outside agencies, expenditure summaries for employee services, supplies and services and
department summaries; he explained the take away proposal by the state of Highway User Tax
money (Gas Tax) which would equal approximately $1.8 million dollars and how it would affect
Arcadia; he further explained by not receiving Gas Tax monies, capital improvement projects
would be decreased and there would be no other funding for capital projects.
Mr. Quach reported the state is considering borrowing property tax money from cities and noted
that under Proposition 1A they are allowed to borrow twice in a 10 year period which must be
repaid within three years plus interest; he advised this would be the second time the state has
borrowed money. He noted this would be approximately $1.3 million dollars from the City which
would have to be repaid to the City within three years plus interest. He explained the proposed
ERAF shift of redevelopment dollars and the recent Court ruling that ruled it unconstitutional and
the state's new proposal. He reported that he just received an electronic mail from the State's
Legislative Budget Conference Committee that instead of the one year take away, the state is
proposing a three year take away from the City's Redevelopment Agency and explained what
this means to the City.

Mr. Penman reminded the City Council that the Agency owes the City money for the purchase
of the Mounted Police property which was used to relocate the Church; he recommended the
debt be paid from the current 2008-09 fiscal year budget and that the City Council authorize the
money to be repaid by dividing the funds equally between the Emergency Reserve Fund and
the Equipment Replacement Fund.
City Attorney Steve Deitsch advised that separate City Council action regarding payment of the
debt owned to the City from the Agency be brought back to a future meeting for City Council
and Redevelopment Agency action.

sewer system; she noted state permit fees and mandates have increased their fees causing the
