MEMORANDUM TO: City Council FROM: Michael Martinez, Chief of Police BY: David Culver, Police Commander SUBJECT: Consideration of Annual Military Equipment Report Pursuant to California AB 481; Review and Consider Renewal of Ordinance No. 714 DATE: March 26, 2024 SUMMARY OF ACTION: Annual update regarding the Police Department’s ongoing use of military equipment as defined in Assembly Bill 481 (AB 481) and codified in Government Code Sections 7070 through 7075; Gov. Code 7071(e)(1) requires a motion to approve the renewal of Ordinance No. 714 to authorize continued use of the spe cified equipment listed in the Police Department’s Military Equipment Report. IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES: The Arroyo Grande Police Department is currently in possession of items categorized as military equipment following the Council’s adoption of Ordinance No. 714 Military Equipment Use Policy. The fiscal impacts associated with Ordinance No. 714 for FY 2023-24 include purchasing specialized equipment, annual training costs, and replacement of munitions totaling $2557.20. The cost of maintaining the current inventory and purchasing new equipment in 2024 is outlined in the Police Department’s Military Equipment Report. RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file the “Military Equipment Use Inventory Report” in accordance with California Assembly Bill 481 and make a motion to approve the renewal of Ordinance No. 714. BACKGROUND: On September 30, 2021, Assembly Bill 481 (AB 481) was codified in Government Code Sections 7070 through 7075 and required the governing body of a law enforcement agency to adopt a “Military Equipment Use” Policy (“Policy”) no later than May 1, 2022. The Police Department complied with AB 481 in the development of a policy, holding a community meeting, and making the Policy documents available on their website prior to Page 15 of 124 Item 9.b. City Council Consideration of Annual Military Equipment Report Pursuant to California AB 481; Review and Consider Renewal of Ordinance No. 714 March 26, 2024 Page 2 the City Council adopting the Policy via Ordinance No. 714 on April 12, 2022 (Attachment 4). AB 481 requires the City Council to review, at least annually, the Ordinance adopting the Policy, and vote on whether to renew the Ordinance to allow the Police Department to continue to use the equipment covered by the Policy. AB 481 also requires the Police Department to present an annual report to the City Council that covers: 1) The use of the equipment; 2) Any complaint(s) or concern(s) regarding the use of the equipment ; 3) Results of any internal audits on the use of the equipment ; 4) The annual costs for the equipment, including acquisition, personnel, training, storage, and other ongoing costs, as well as the source from which the funds will be provided for this purpose; 5) The quantity of each type of military equipment possessed by the agency; and 6) If the Police Department intends to purchase additional equipment in the following year, the quantity sought for each type of equipment. The procedural requirements of AB 481 for the Council to approve the Annual Military Equipment report are defined by California Government Code Section 7072 as follows: A law enforcement agency that receives approval of a military equipment use policy pursuant to Section 7071 shall submit to the governing body an annual military equipment report for each type of military equipment approved by the governing body within one year of approval, and annually thereafter for as long as the military equipment is available for use. The law enforcement agency shall also make each annual military equipment report required by this section publicly available on its internet website for as long as the military equipment is available for use. ANALYSIS OF ISSUES: AB 481 was introduced to increase transparency and accountability for the funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment by state and local law enforcement agencies. The legislation includes a broad definition of what constitutes “military equipment,” including items such as drones that are commonly used in everyday society by members of the public and have been effectively deployed for many years by law enforcement agencies to respond to emerging threats, civil unrest, and mass casualty events. Furthermore, several of the items AB 481 defines as “military equipment” are not necessarily used by the military but are less -than-lethal, standard issue equipment for peace officers. While possession of such equipment does not warrant its use in common circumstances, this essential equipment is deployed based on the situational necessity to effectively de-escalate intense situations or bring volatile conditions and critical incidents to a safe resolution. Page 16 of 124 Item 9.b. City Council Consideration of Annual Military Equipment Report Pursuant to California AB 481; Review and Consider Renewal of Ordinance No. 714 March 26, 2024 Page 3 Staff reviewed Department records and determined there were no complaints or concerns raised regarding the use of the City’s military equipment in 2023. Staff’s internal audit of equipment use determined there were no violations of the Policy (AGPD Policy #709) or any other Departmental policy. Included herewith as Attachment 1 is an Annual Military Equipment Report, prepared pursuant to the requirements of Government Code section 7072. New Equipment for 2024 Staff has reviewed the equipment needs for the Police Department and determined there is a need to purchase more unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), more specifically identified in the 2024 Military Equipment Inventory included as Attachment 1, and which would fall under the Military Equipment Use Policy. The DJI UAS is available through commercial retail stores selling to the public. Staff had originally planned to purchase new drones in 2023 but opted to delay this purchase until 2024 due to the need for additional training. ALTERNATIVES: The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration: 1. Receive and file Annual Military Equipment Report pursuant to California AB 481 and make a motion to renew Ordinance No. 714; 2. Do not move to approve the renewal of Ordinance No. 714 or accept the annual Military Equipment Report; or 3. Provide alternative direction to staff. ADVANTAGES: Taking the recommended action will comply with State law requirements and will promote transparency involving Police Department acquisitions, use, and/or purchases of equipment identified and defined in AB 481. The equipment outlined in this report is essential to law enforcement’s mission. DISADVANTAGES: No disadvantages are identified. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: No environmental review is required for this item , as this action is not a “project” per § 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines because the action pertains to submittal and approval of information regarding the City’s military equipment policy and is therefor e an organizational and administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS: The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in accordance with Government Code Section 54954.2. In accordance with AB 481, the proposed Military Equipment Use Policy was also posted on the Police Department’s website , Page 17 of 124 Item 9.b.

A summary of how the military equipment was used and the purpose of its use. All military equipment owned by the Department, which is de tailed in Exhibit A to the Department’s Military Equipment Use Policy, was used exclusively for the purposes designated by that Policy. In general, those purposes include use of specialized firearms to be used as precision weapons to address a threat with more precision and/or greater distances than a handgun, if present and feasible; use of noise flash diversionary devices to produce atmospheric over-pressure and brilliant white light and, as a result, can cause short‐term (6 ‐ 8 seconds) physiological/psychological sensory deprivation to give officers a tactical advantage; use of chemical agents and smoke canisters (by officers who are properly POST certified) to limit the escalation of conflict where employment of lethal force is prohibited or undesirable; use of projectile launch platforms and associated munitions to limit the escalation of conflict where employment of lethal force is prohibited or undesirable. In 2023 the Arroyo Grande Police Department used the following equipment:  Unmanned Aerial Systems “UAS” (3) also known as “Drones.” The drones were activated during the search and arrest of offenders, traffic collision investigations, special event security, fire department support, and firework response during the 4th of July holiday. AGPD’s UAS are operated by Arroyo Grande City staff and provide support to public works for city-wide projects.  40mm Launchers (9) designed to expel nonlethal munitions. The 40 mm launchers were used during the training of personnel and were not deployed during f ield patrol operations in 2023. The 40mm munitions were used to train law enforcement personnel in accordance with California Peace Officers Standard and Training requirements.  Patrol Rifles (27). There were two incidents during patrol operations in which a rifle was needed, but neither resulted in the weapon being discharged. Additionally, officers deployed their assigned rifles during training and qualifications.  Pepper-Ball Launchers (4) were only deployed during the training of law enforcement personnel.
