All
right
good
evening,
everyone
I'm
going
to
call
this
meeting
to
order.
As
you
can
see
my
fellow
cancer.
As
you
can't
see,
my
fellow
council
members
are
in
their
respective
homes
and
they
are
going
to
be
communicating
with
us
tonight
through
teleconferencing
and
video
conferencing
and,
as
you
can
also
see,
I'm
wearing
a
mask,
as
as
our
city
manager
drew
powers
and
our
city
attorney
tracy
noonan.
D
Here
at
the
city
hall,
we've
adopted
a
social
distancing
plan
in
accordance
with
the
county
guidelines,
which
includes
wearing
a
mask
while
we're
here,
distancing
six
feet
or
more
and
many
of
our
employees
are
working
remotely,
and
I
know
a
lot
of
you
are
doing
the
same
out
there
in
our
city
and
in
my
limited
travels
at
essential
businesses.
I
see
most
of
you
have
masks
on
it
now
and
we
appreciate
that,
because
that's
what's
going
to
help
to
keep
this
virus
under
control
and
eventually
eliminated.
D
E
D
F
Thank
you
so
much
mayor,
adam
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
provide
the
latest
updates
on
the
ventura
county's
response
to
covet
19..
I
hope
everyone
is
doing
the
best
they
can
at
home.
Given
these
circumstances,
it
continues
to
be
a
period
of
tremendous
upheaval
and
great
impacts
to
businesses
and
employees
and
residents
across
this
county,
and
this
nation.
F
F
Progress
is
being
made
and
thanks
to
the
collective
sacrifices
of
of
our
residents,
the
county
has
issued
a
new
order,
easing
some
restrictions
and
clarifying
others.
They
will
review
that
order
again
in
two
weeks.
It
the
new
order,
did
extend
the
stay
home
order
until
the
middle
of
may,
but
they
will
review
again
in
two
weeks
with
the
potential
of
of
making
additional
modifications
the
county
may
be
issuing.
The
county
health
director
may
be
issuing
new
guidance,
encouraging
mass
and
essential
businesses.
F
That
was
a
topic
of
discussion
today
at
the
board
of
supervisors,
meeting
central
businesses
like
grocery
stores,
for
instance,
so
we're
waiting
for
guidance
on
that.
Perhaps
this
week,
as
mayor
adam
mentioned,
we
are
utilizing
masks
as
a
protocol
for
the
few
of
us
that
are
here
at
city
hall.
With
some
regularity,
our
park
facilities,
golf
course
and
weekday
trail.
Access
have
all
reopened
with
certain
caveats
and
a
lot
of
those
locations
have
specific
signs
and
details
about
what
those
caveats
are
again
trail
access
is
weekday,
trail
access.
F
The
kaneoho
valley
chamber
continues
to
work
very
closely
with
our
local
businesses
and
with
another
round
of
small
business
support
preparing
for,
hopefully
the
president's
signature.
They
will
play
another
key
role
in
helping
to
guide
our
local
businesses
through
that
that
process
within
the
city.
There
is
a
lot
going
on.
Despite
the
significant
disruption
to
service,
we
are
continuing
to
deliver
core
services
to
residents,
we're
continuing
to
process
permits,
inspect
buildings,
advance
construction
projects
forward
and
do
what
we
can
in
our
role
to
keep
the
economy
moving.
F
Despite
the
challenges
we
face,
we're
carefully
analyzing
the
fiscal
impact
as
cities
across
this
county
and
country
are
doing
and
we're,
thankfully,
in
that
better
positioned
than
many
agencies,
and
I'm
sure
folks
have
have
heard
about
the
challenges
facing
some.
Some
of
the
large
cities
to
our
south.
F
Vcemergency.Com
is
the
county
wide
resource.
The
the
county
and
all
10
cities
within
the
county
are
in
regular
contact
on
a
daily
basis
and
all
contributing
to
that
content
on
the
screen.
It
is
updated
there
with
regularity,
they
host
press
conferences
that
are
streamed
through
that
site
on
monday,
wednesday
and
friday
at
1
pm
for
those
that
are
interested
with
a
variety
of
different
content
and
updates
from
county
health
experts
locally.
We
have
teocs.org
covid19
and
that's
our
regularly
updated
site
for
thousand
oaks.
Specific
information.
F
The
message,
though,
does
remain
pretty
simple:
try
to
avoid
being
out
of
your
home
as
much
as
possible.
We
want
you
to
get
exercise
and
fresh
air.
I
want
you
to
do
it
responsibly.
We
understand
you
need
to
do
grocery
shopping.
We
just
ask
that
you
limit
that
and
follow
best
practices.
F
D
Thank
you,
mr
powers.
Appreciate
that
update
and
speaking
of
appreciation.
We
appreciate
you,
our
citizens
of
thousand
oaks,
appreciate
your
spirit
of
cooperation,
appreciate
your
positive
attitude
and,
most
importantly,
we
appreciate
your
patience
as
we
work
to
gradually,
with
an
emphasis
on
safety
to
gradually
reopen
our
city.
B
D
G
And
the
reason
for
my
call
is
I'd
simply
like
to
ask
the
city
of
thousand
oaks
to
stop
all
of
the
wireless
telecommunication
applications
at
this
time.
Like
the
city
of
simi
valley,
is
they
put
a
freeze
on
it
for
90
days
and
the
logic
behind
that
was
that
the
processing
of
applications
is
not
an
essential
business
and
so
they're
not
processing
anything
for
90
days
or
during
this
state
of
emergency,
or
until
the
state
of
emergency
has
ended?
I
guess
so.
G
D
D
H
G
Rosenberg
and
I'm
a
long
time
resident
of
thousand
oaks-
and
I
am
asking
tonight
that
I
requestfully
respect
that
you
are
city
council
leaders,
please
respect
the
needs,
rights
and
concerns
of
the
residents
of
thousand
oaks
by
implementing
a
freeze
on
all
wireless
applications
until
the
state
of
emergency
has
ended.
You're,
probably
aware
that
the
city
of
simi
valley
has
done
so,
and
I
ask
that
y'all,
please
do
the
same
for
the
sake
and
safety
of
the
population
in
your
community.
G
D
D
Thank
you,
councilmember
jones,
so
we're
going
to
do
a
verbal
vote
on
that.
E
H
I
H
Yeah
I
just
like
to
find
out
in
the
reading
the
item
it
mentioned,
that
the
rasnows
are
retaining
this
private
road,
and
I
just
wondered:
would
that
be
any
impediment
to
us
in
getting
to
those
58
parcels
that
we're
going
to
vote
to
take
over
from
the
rossignol
property?
Do
we
need
that
private
road?
In
other
words,
do
we
need
an
easement
on
any
part
of
that
road.
J
You
thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
members
of
the
council.
The
quick
answer
is
that,
while
it
remains
a
private
road,
koska
has
obtained
an
easement
across
the
road
for
the
trail,
the
trail
is
being
rerouted
across
the
acres
and
it's
approximately
80
acres
of
property,
and
so
the
trail
is
going
to
be
rerouted,
going
down
the
hill
a
little
bit
and
then
going
across
the
road
and
then
going
back
up
and
continuing
to
operate
on
the
lowest
robless
trail.
H
J
Right
so
just
to
be
clear,
council
already
took
action
and
as
well
as
the
district
took
action
on
this
matter
a
year
or
so
even
two
years
ago.
Now,
where
we
appropriated
about
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
this
total
transaction
and
the
item
tonight
is
is,
is,
frankly,
is
to
re
reposition,
some
of
that
money
again
under
the
same
contract
and
under
the
same
authority
just
repositioning
it
to
use
it
for
different
parts
of
this
acquisition
and
process.
For
the
last
few
years
now.
J
H
D
B
Hearing
advertised,
as
required
by
law,
is
open
to
consider
agenda
item
8a
regarding
consideration
of
new
location
for
leaf
dispensary
speakers
are
requested
to
state
their
name
and
community
of
residents
for
the
record.
15
individuals
have
presented
speaker
cards
and
pursuant
to
council
standards,
each
speaker
will
have
three
minutes.
The
yellow
light
displays
when
you
have
one
minute
remaining,
and
that
is
it.
D
K
Sure,
good
evening,
mayor,
adam
and
council
members,
we
are
here
tonight
to
talk
about
leaf
dispensaries,
proposed
location,
also
matt
eaton
from
hdl.
Our
consultant
is
joining
us
via
teleconferencing
and,
as
you
said,
assistant
city
attorney.
Patrick
here
is
here
in
person
and
they're
both
available
to
answer
questions.
K
To
give
you
a
brief
background
on
september,
10
2019
council
authorized
leaf
to
operate
as
city's
second
dispensary
at
2400
willow
lane.
However,
after
the
september
10th
meeting
leaf
encountered
certain
issues
with
its
lease
at
the
willow
lane
location
prohibiting
them
from
opening
the
dispensary
at
2400.
Willow
lane
leaf
then
requested
authorization
to
operate
from
a
new
location
at
2360
townsgate
road
on
december
10,
2019
city
council
directed
staff
to
analyze,
the
new
location
for
compliance
with
city
regulations
and
staff
has
completed
its
review
and
presents
the
matter
before
you
tonight
for
consideration.
K
K
So
the
first
step
in
the
cannabis
review
process
is
location,
certification
staff,
certified
the
new
location
for
proper
zoning
and
proper
buffering
from
sensitive
uses.
As
council
is
aware,
cannabis
facilities
must
only
be
located
in
the
m1
zone,
which
is
industrial
park
zone
and
must
comply
with
the
state
mandated
600
foot
radius
from
sensitive
uses
such
as
k-12
schools,
arcades
boys
and
girls.
Clubs,
teen
centers
and
such
following.
The
location,
certification
city
consultant
verified
that
the
proposed
location
also
meets
other
city
and
state
standards.
K
On
march
18th
staff
from
community
development
city
attorney's
office
and
sheriff's
department
met
with
the
applicants
from
leaf.
It
was
concluded
by
sheriff's
department
staff
that
safety
and
security
measures
that
leaf
is
proposing
are
adequate
and
staff
has
also
concluded
that
leap's
new
location
meets
city
and
state
requirements.
K
K
At
that
meeting,
five
interested
individuals
attended,
and
only
one
objection
was
posed
by
two
partners
of
a
business
called
future
elite.
Future
elite
seems
to
be
an
athletic
facility
intending
to
locate
next
door
to
leaf's
proposed
location
and
will
be
engaging
in
various
athletic
activities
for
children
and
adults.
K
K
However,
staff
has
been
able
to
locate
that
has
not
been
able
to
locate
any
business
license
for
future
elite
or
any
adjacent
businesses
operating
as
an
athletic
facility.
In
addition
and
athletic
facility
use
is
not
considered
a
sensitive
use
within
the
parameters
of
city's
cannabis
ordinance.
This
concludes
my
portion
of
the
presentation.
I
will
now
pass
it
over
to
mr
heeher
to
continue
the
discussion.
Thank
you.
J
Good
evening,
mayor
and
members
of
the
council
quickly
on
slide
10,
we
have
that
it's
important
to
note
that
there
is
a
church
located
on
the
west
side.
They
provided
a
letter
to
council
indicating
that
they
are
taking
a
neutral
stance.
J
J
So
I
do
think
it's
important
to
go
through
some
of
the
history,
not
just
for
council,
but
to
remind
the
public
of
how
we
got
to
this
place
tonight
and
the
underlying
reasons
why
the
city
adopted
a
cannabis
ordinance.
J
So
when
the
possibility
of
a
state
cannabis
legislation
was
rumored,
the
council
directed
staff
to
begin
examining
best
practices
for
the
city.
Once
the
various
state
legislation
was
enacted,
council
acted
to
examine
possible
uses,
we
conducted
workshops,
we
conducted
meetings
and
council
got
the
necessary
feedback
from
the
residents
about
what
they
wanted.
The
initial
result
was
a
medical,
cannabis
dispensary
and
a
and
possibly
a
testing
laboratory.
J
J
This
detailed
and
transparent
process
gives
you
the
ability
to
look
the
application
for
one
of
the
cannabis
uses
and
weigh
the
need
to
have
a
local
cannabis
medical
cannabis
facility
for
residents
to
go
to
and
obtain
cannabis
to
use
for
their
unique
and
specific
reasons
against
again
you're
weighing
it
against
the
possible
negative
impact.
Such
a
use
might
have
on
the
surrounding
businesses
or
neighbors.
J
So,
just
again,
remember
that
leaf
initially
went
through
a
process
for
willow
lane.
We
made
them
go
through
a
second
process
for
this
location
and
again
we
followed
our
processes.
We
followed
our
policies
and
we
had
the
consultant
review.
The
application
and
staff
conducted
the
neighborhood
meeting
and
site
inspection
with
deputy
brady
to
see
for
security
purposes.
J
And
again
it's
important
to
note
that
when
we
had
the
neighborhood
meeting,
it's
it's
similar
to
a
special
use
permit.
We
want
to
get
the
neighbors
reactions,
including
tenants
that
they
appear
to
talk
about
what
the
use
is
going
to
be
like,
and
the
owners
of
leaf
were
present
for
that
meeting
as
well.
Next
slide.
J
J
J
D
H
H
Yes,
I
wonder
if
mr
haye,
her
here
I
mean,
would
describe
the
annual
review
in
some
detail
of
exactly
what
the
criteria
are
involved
in
the
review
and
what
are
the
you
know,
the
rules
or
the
procedures
that
we
would
follow
in
the
review.
J
J
Has
there
been
any
incidences
that
create
more
of
a
negative
impact
than
previously
anticipated
and
as
part
of
if
this
thing
is,
if
this
matter
is
approved,
we
have
an
operations
agreement
and
that
operations
agreement
will
control
certain
actions,
and
those
actions
include
this
review
that
we
have
to
ensure
that
they're
following
the
policies
to
ensure
that
whatever
community
benefits
they
promised
in
the
operating
agreement
that
are
being
followed.
J
J
Just
like
with
this
application
tonight,
we
would
certainly
receive
and
evaluate
any
concerns
voiced
concerns
correspondence
regarding
concerns
about
the
project
and
certainly
with
any
with
any
company
that
we
would
work
with.
We
would
certainly
do
our
best
to
investigate,
discuss
it
with
the
owners
and
and
react
accordingly.
H
And
finally,
what
are
the
options
for
the
city
council
at
that
hearing?.
J
J
J
As
you
probably
remember,
there
is
a
now
a
statewide
regulation
to
allow
deliveries
into
every
jurisdiction,
so
that
is
another
issue
that
we
have
so
again.
This
is
a
you
know.
This
issue
is
always
going
to
be
changing
for
the
next
few
years.
I
believe,
but
it
is
something
that
we
felt
that
we
needed
to
have
a
review
every
year,
just
to
ensure
that
there
aren't
any
significant
matters
or
substantial
issues
that
merited
reviewing
the
permit
in
in
great
detail.
D
C
Build
a
opinion
I
was
wondering
if
mr
key
here
could
help
me
with
the
timeline
a
little
bit
again,
so
this
was
approved
back
in
november
2019.
J
C
J
The
owners
of
leaf
mentioned
to
me
that
they
had
a
proposed
location
at
townsgate
and
I
believe
it
was
where
future
elite
is
proposed
to
go
in
due
to
the
fact
that
we
are
going
to
have
to
go
through
another
hearing
process.
Another
analysis
of
their
new
location
that
spot
was
leased
out
to
future
elite
by
the
owner
of
the
complex.
J
J
C
D
All
right,
thank
you,
mayor
pro
tem
councilman
jones.
H
Yes,
I
also
had
a
phone
conversation
with
mr
burns.
E
And
this
councilman
engler
in
full
disclosure.
I
also
had
a
conversation
with
mr
cohen,
representing
the
legendary.
H
D
All
right,
very
good,
okay,
I
I
did
have
a
question
myself.
If
I
may
do
you
know,
if
leaf
is
anticipating
delivery
from
this
location
if
they
get
the
permit.
J
I
think
that
is
a
valid
question
to
ask
them.
I
think,
at
the
last
time,
when
we
were
talking
in
december
and
also
the
previous
meeting,
we
had
it.
We
were
talking
about
in
fairness.
We
would
allow
the
medical
delivery
of
cannabis
by
the
two
retail
operators,
with
the
assumption
that
they
were
going
to
be
operating
in
our
city
and
fairness
to
them.
So
I
know
that
sometimes
there
are
medical
facilities
that
are
just
brick
and
mortar
in
other
jurisdictions,
and
some
do
just
frankly,
just
do
delivery
and
they're.
D
All
right
I'll
save
that
for
the
applicant,
then
all
right,
that's
very
good
and
speaking
of
the
applicant,
that's
where
we're
going
to
go
next.
We
have
mr
paul
burns
with
us
and
mr
david
mcfarlane
and
gentlemen.
You
have
15
minutes
to
speak
and
you'll
get
a
five-minute
rebuttal
later
in
the
process.
M
Good
evening,
okay,
mary
adam
members
of
the
council,
first
of
all,
I
would
like
to
inform
the
council
that,
due
to
the
time
limitation
for
a
telephone
style
of
public
hearing,
we
encouraged
our
supporters
to
send
in
emails
instead
of
signing
up
to
make
telephone
calls
into
the
hearing.
So
I
ask
that
you
give
each
of
those
emails
the
same
way
that
you
would
give
to
anyone
that
calls
in
we're
just
trying
to
be
time
efficient
and,
as
you
know,
leaf,
has
been
working
towards
its
goal
of
opening
a
dispensary
for
over
two
years.
M
It
has
truly
been
a
challenge
to
find
a
location
that
meets
all
requirements
of
the
city's
cannabis
ordinance
and
one
that
does
not
have
a
group
a
mortgage
on
the
building,
as
it
stated
in
both
the
staff
report
and
the
report
from
hdl
this
location.
Now
before
you
meets
every
requirement
of
the
ordinance
before
going
any
further.
I
wish
to
make
some
comments
on
some
of
the
emails
in
the
agenda.
Packets,
which
object
to
the
approval
of
our
location.
M
For
instance,
an
email
from
don
marie
lazu
suggests
that
leaf
will
bring
crime
in
a
homeless
crowd.
Another
individual
taylor
wilson
also
states
that
approving
this
location
would
be
supporting
people
that
are
addicted
to
drugs.
Miss
lazu
and
mr
wilson
do
not
have
any
real
conception
of
how
a
medical
cannabis
sensory
operates.
M
M
Had
they
done
any
research,
they
would
know
that
under
the
city
ordinance
there
will
be
no
crime,
no
homeless
crowd
and
that
learning
is
not
allowed
period.
Someone
is
intentionally
feeding
these
people
bad
information
on
leaf.
In
an
attempt
to
discredit
this
dispensary,
there
was
an
email
from
a
michael
conroy.
He
says
he's
against
the
law
and
leaves
suspensory
next
door
to
a
church
in
a
school.
M
The
city
ordinance
clearly
allows
the
dispensary
next
to
a
gym
or
a
training
facility,
and
then
the
last
one
I
want
to
refer
to
is
there's
an
email
from
a
kevin
c
sebate.
I
think
it's
pronounced.
He
refers
you'll
be
training
as
a
youth
center.
He
must
not
know
what
legally
is
considered.
You
said
in
california.
M
He
then
also
makes
many
misstatements
of
fact
and
unsubstantiated
claims.
He
uses
the
term
pot
shop
instead
of
dispensary.
He
states
that
the
smell
of
marijuana
alone
will
drive
out.
Neighboring
businesses
he's
supposed
to
be
an
expert
in
this
field.
He
should
know
that
there
is
no
smell,
that
all
product
is
in
state
certified,
sealed
containers.
M
M
Mr
ceba
states
that
permitting
commercial
marijuana
activities
does
not
reduce
or
eliminate
drug
dealers.
It
makes
them
worse.
He
should
know
that
leaf.
Medical
dispensary
is
not
commercial
marijuana
activity.
These
patients
are
not
drug
dealers.
His
use
of
the
term
drug
dealers
is
simply
intentional.
Inflammatory
mississippi
then
goes
on
and
he
goes
off
and
talks
about
cartels.
Black
market
sales,
automatic
weapons
leaf
is
a
medical
dispensary
in
thousand
oaks
who
or
what
does
mr
sebay
think
he
is
talking
about?
Does
he
even
realize
that
this
is
only
a
medical,
cannabis,
dispensary
location
before
the
council?
M
Or
is
he
just
someone
hired
to
make
a
more
intentional
inflammatory
comments
aimed
at
the
city
council
as
an
attempt
to
influence
their
vote?
An
honest
evaluation
of
these
emails
clearly
shows
that
they
are
based
upon
intentional
use
of
inflammatory
terms
and
statements
and
misstatements
of
facts
intended
to
sway
the
council's
vote.
It
is
also
quite
clear
that
someone
has
provided
bad
and
false
information
to
the
writers
of
these
emails
so
as
to
provide
a
very
bad
perception
of
leaf's
operations.
M
M
N
It's
been
a
long
road,
you
know
and
we're
still
committed
to
making
this
happen.
There's
obviously
been
some
bumps
in
the
road
and
we
haven't
anticipated
that,
but
we're
sorry
to
still
be
talking
about
this.
In
september,
our
24
willow
lane
location
that
was
approved.
N
N
We
had
you
know
the
new
location
that
we
found
has
has
another
training
facility
in
it,
and
there
would
be
really
no
difference
in
the
approval
of
the
facility
that
were,
we
were
originally
proved
approved
in
compared
to
the
one
that
we're
proposing
the
which
is
26,
sorry,
2360,
townsgate
road,
this
location
meets
all
the
city
of
city
ordinance
criteria.
N
N
N
So
the
new
location
we
have
in
writing
from
the
landlord
guaranteed
and
the
building
owner
that
there
is
absolutely
no
financial
loan
on
the
property
whatsoever
and
there's
no
intention
on
doing
that.
So
so
the
the
the
life
of
our
just
the
dispensary
you
know
is
is
that
it's
very
important
on
that
right
there.
So
we
are
going
to
have
to
be
coming
back
to
the
council
in
a
year
and
saying:
hey
sorry,
we
have
a
problem
again.
So
that
is
a
big
aspect
that
needs
to
be
considered.
N
As
paul
said,
my
track
record.
You
know
I'm
not
new
to
this
business,
I
mean,
I
know,
thousand
oaks
has
not,
you
know,
doesn't
have
a
dispensary,
yet
we've
been
patiently
waiting,
but
I
have
13
years
of
experience
operating
a
medical,
cannabis
dispensary
and
in
that
13
years,
not
one
single
complaint
from
a
neighbor
from
the
community,
a
church
law
enforcement
or
the
city
or
staff.
N
Our
location
in
goleta
is
close
proximity
to
a
karate
studio
which
caters
to
youth
and
adults.
We
have
no
complaints
and
no
issues
from
them.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
they
even
wrote
us
a
letter
of
recommendation
on
that,
so
that
was
really
nice
of
them.
To
do
that,
some
of
our
I
mean
the
reason
we
have
no
complaints
or,
and
we've
we
work
really
hard
to
make
sure
that
our
customers
are
aware
of
our
rules
and
our
regulations.
N
We
make
them
aware
of
our
code
of
ethics,
each
and
every
time
they
come
into
our
dispensary,
so
so
that
is
a
lot
of
the
factors
as
to
why
not
a
single
complaint
has
happened.
I've
always
had
an
open
communication
with
all
of
our
neighbors
and
they
have
my
personal
phone
number.
If
there's
ever
an
issue,
we
immediately
immediately
would
address
it,
but
fortunately
we
haven't
had
to
the
the
goal
of
leap.
Dispensary
is
not
to
create
problems.
It's
not
crime
is
not
to
have
a
bad.
You
know
perception.
N
N
Our
facility
is
not
open
to
the
public,
so
any
training
facility,
anybody
that
has
youth
or
even
adults
that
aren't
qualified,
are
not
allowed
in
our
facility.
You
can't
simply
just
walk
in
you
have
to
have
the
proper
credentials.
We
have
security.
We
have
a
counter
that
you
have
to
get
checked
in
from
there
once
you've
agreed
to
all
of
our
terms,
then
you
go
through
another
buzzer
door
into
our
product
room
where
you
met
with
knowledgeable
staff.
N
We
discuss
whatever
options
you
might
need
for
cannabis.
Once
that
is
done,
we
the
sale,
is
finalized.
It
goes
into
a
an
opa
opaque
exit
bag
with
our
our
safety
leaflet.
Stapled
to
it,
and
we
ask
them
to
please
leave
the
property.
There
is
no
loitering,
no
hanging
out
no
on-site
consumption,
no
cultivation
and
again,
as
paul
said,
all
products
are
come
from
a
licensed
distribution
which
is
sealed
in
a
child
resistant
package.
N
N
They
pull
up,
they
come
in,
they
do
their
business
and
they're
instructed
to
leave,
and
we
ask
them
to
wait
till
they
get
to
their
their
suitable
facility
or
location
before
they
even
open
the
bag.
Again.
I'll
sum
it
up
real
quick,
because
I
want
to
save
some
time
here
that
yeah
we
reached
out
to
the
shepherd's
church.
You
know
and
we
sat
down
and
they
were
really
nice
and
I
explained
every
aspect.
N
They
had
a
bunch
of
different
questions
and
concerns,
and
I
explained
all
the
different
protocols
that
we
take
at
leaf
dispensary
and
they
they
met,
and
they
unanimous
decision
voted
to
not
object
to
us,
which
we
thought
that
was
going
to
be
our
biggest
challenge
so
and
we
all
know
how
how
the
cannabis
ordinance
in
the
city
of
thousands,
how
strict
it
is
and
how
extremely
difficult
it
is
to
find
a
location.
N
So,
despite
the
willow
lane
location,
not
working
out
the
the
townsgate
location,
we're
ready
to
move
forward
on
it,
so
it
meets
all
the
ordinance
requirements
and
paul,
and
I
are
ready
to
bring
this
essential
business
to
the
residents
of
thousand
oaks.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration.
D
Thank
you,
mr
mcfarlane.
Tell
you
what
why
don't
we
appreciate
your
comments
by
the
way?
Gentlemen.
Thank
you.
Let's
see,
if
there's
any
questions
for
the
applicants
from
my
fellow
council
members.
D
C
M
Hi,
this
is
paul
burns.
Responding
to
your
question.
What
happened
was
is
when
we
lost
the
little
lane
because
of
the
mortgage
on
the
building,
and
we
had
to
find
a
new
location.
I
I
submitted
documents
which
were
in
your
packet,
but
I
can
just
briefly
tell
you
what
it
is.
We
submitted
an
application
for
the
location
at
2382
townsgate.
M
M
Then
in
november
they
called
us
and
said
they
had
somebody
that
wanted
to
put
in
a
gym
and
that
they
were
willing
to
sign
a
lease
right
away,
and
they
said
you
have
first,
you
know
recourse,
because
you
know
we
have
an
agreement
with
you
and
they
said.
If
you
want
to
sign
the
lease
the
place
is
yours,
but
if
you
don't,
we
have
to
take
this
other
offer.
M
Well,
we
were
still
pending
approval
from
the
city
of
thousand
oaks.
At
that
time,
our
that
location
had
not
been
vetted,
so
we
could
not
enter
into
a
five-year
lease
at
that
point.
M
So
we
had
to
relinquish
the
location
and
when
we
did
that's
when
future
elite
came
in
and
signed-
and
that
was
my
understanding
was
in
late
november
when
they
signed
their
lease
or
around
the
first
of
december
and
then
in
december
the
landlord
called
us
and
said
he
had
another
location
opening
up
at
2360
townscape,
which
was
right
next
door.
So
we
immediately
said
yes
we'll
take
it
and
we
notified
the
city.
M
We
got
an
exclusive
right
to
lease
from
the
landlord
and
we
notified
the
city
right
away
and
gave
them
a
letter
stating
that
they
would
allow
us
to
run
the
dispensary
in
that
location
and
then
that
location
was
subsequently
vetted
by
the
city.
And
then
we
are
been
pending
this
hearing
for
approval
and
then
future
elite.
M
The
owners
went
to
the
landlord
and
several
times
and
tried
to
take
this
place
from
us,
and
the
reason
they
gave
was
because
it
was
already
suited
to
be
a
gym
because
it
had
been
a
training
facility
and
they
wanted
it
to
expand
their
facility
and
the
landlord
told
them
basically
that
he
had
a
commitment
with
us
and
that
he
was
going
to
honor
him.
M
And
so
that's
when
the
war
of
words
to
be
polite
started.
And
it's
been
going
on.
As
you
know,
and
that's
the
timeline
and
so
now
they're
attempting
to
have
us
our
location
denied
so
that
they
can
lease
it
from
the
from
the
landlord
and
expand
their
operations
of
their
training
facility.
C
Thank
you,
mr
burns.
I
have
a
question
for
staff
staff.
When
did
the
city
become
available
aware?
What
future
elites
mission
actually
is.
J
I'm
excuse
me,
council,
member,
I'm
not
sure
what
you
mean
by
their
by
your
by
your
question.
Do
you
mean
when
we
were
aware
that
future
elite
was
going
to
be
proposed
to
go
next
door.
J
So
I
did
have
a
conversation
with
mr
harrison.
I
couldn't
tell
you
exactly
when
it
was
either
end
of
last
year
or
beginning
of
this
year,
and
at
that
time
I
made
it
very
clear.
I
thought
that
staff
would
be
evaluating,
leaves
application
for
this
new
place
on
townsgate
that
there
was
a
process
to
go
through.
J
I
did
talk
to
him
about
a
future
neighborhood
meeting
that
was
conducted
and
he
was
at
that
meeting
and
then
I
did
inform
him
that
staff
is
not
approving
this
project,
it
would
be
council
and
we
didn't
have
an
exact
date.
We
were
initially
looking
at
march,
31st
for
a
city
council
date
and
then
we
tentatively
put
it
for
april
21st
tonight,
so
he
did
explain
what
his
use
was
as
far
as
a
training
facility.
J
We
don't
have
any
permit
for
that
specific
use
there
at
this
time,
but
it
is
a
training
facility,
my
understanding
from
looking
at
the
documents
that
mr
harrison
has
provided.
It's
a
training
facility
for
both
youth
and
adults.
O
Yeah,
just
also
to
clarify
I'm
not
I
don't,
and
you
can
ask
mr
harrison,
I'm
not
sure
if
elite
is
open
right
now
because
again,
I
don't
think
that
we
have
a
business
license
on
file
or
any
permit
that.
J
Is
correct,
I
would
give
caution
on
on
discussing
their
use,
because
it's
going
to
be,
you
know
the
size
and
there's
a
lot
of
other
issues
that
could
go
in
right.
Now.
I
think
miss
zotti's
comment
was
that
we
just
didn't
have
any
information
as
to
what
their
proposed
use
was
going
to
be
as
far
as
the
size
et
cetera,.
E
E
M
This
is
paul
burns
calling
or
talking
to
give
you
the
comparison.
Sir.
The
willow
lane
facility
is
a,
I
believe,
about
a
22,
000
square
foot,
building
and
two-story,
and
the
athletic
society
gym
is
on
the
bottom
floor
and
on
the
west
end
or
I'm
sorry,
the
north
end
towards
the
freeway
of
the
building,
the
the
part
facing
the
freeway.
On
the
second
floor,
there
is
a
15
000
square
foot
space
available
and
it
is
owned
m1.
M
That
is
the
space
that
we
were
going
to
take
a
portion
of
for
our
dispensary
and
when
we
first
had
that
space
two
years
ago,
back
in
july
of
2018,
the
owner
of
the
property,
was
where
the
said
he
wasn't
worried
about
a
mortgage
or
anything.
M
Because
that's
the
first
question
we
always
had
to
ask,
but
in
long
story
long
story
short
when
we
finally
got
to
go,
they
had
a
change
of
heart
because
they
were
afraid
about
their
loan
coming
up
for
renewal
in
four
years,
but
the
entrance
for
our
gymnasium,
I'm
sorry.
Our
dispensary
was
on
the
freeway
end
of
the
building
and
the
entrance
to
the
athletic
society
is
on
the
east
side
of
the
building
facing
willow
lane
and
it's
approximately
maybe
100
feet
from
our
entrance
to
the
entrance
to
the
gym.
E
M
M
No
objection
to
the
dispensary
and
the
landlord
who
owns
it
is
a
company
called,
I
believe
it's
called
west
hollywood
investments,
but
don't
quote
me
on
that
for
sure,
but
something
like
that
and
anyway,
when
we
went
recently
when
we
were
given
a
a
permit
by
the
city
to
go,
get
our
location
going,
then
all
of
a
sudden
because
their
their
mortgage
is
coming
up
for
renewal.
In
four
years
they
had
a
change
of
heart.
E
And
now
the
townsgate
location,
how?
How
are
the
entrances.
M
Well,
they're,
the
entrance,
the
entrances
are
side
by
side.
There's
a
wall
separating
them
like
a
divider
wall
coming
out
towards
the
parking
lot.
There
are
some
photographs
in
the
packet
somewhere,
I
saw
them,
but
basically
the
entrance
to
the
the
the
gym
is
going
to
be
on
the
left
side
of
the
wall.
The
entrance
to
our
facility
is
on
the
right
now.
The
the
training
facility
also
has
another
entrance
on
the.
What
would
be
if
you're
standing
in
front
of
the
building
it
would
be
to
the
left,
rear
corner
of
the
building.
M
They
have
an
actual
door
there.
That
goes
right
into
the
training
facility,
and
so
I
don't
know
if
they're
going
to
be
using
that
door
or
not,
but
that
door
does
allow
them
access.
You
walk
through
that
door,
you're
right
into
the
into
the
facility,
so
they
have
actually
two
entrances
the
front
door
and
then
the
side
door.
E
M
No,
the
agreement
is,
is
on
so
they
only
have
services
on
sunday
morning
and
we
we
agreed
that
we
would
not
open
until
two
o'clock,
which
is
an
hour
little
over
hour
past
their
service
time.
M
They
also
have
two
or
three
events
a
year
that
they
have
families
come
in
for
it's
a
special
event
for
kids
and
and
so
we-
and
we
said
well
we'll
close
on
those
days
with
no
problem,
and
they
said
well,
if
we
give
you
60
days,
notice
that
it's
more
than
fair,
so
we
have
a
a
working
agreement
with
them
as
good
neighbors
that
any
function
that
they
want
us
to
close
we're
just
going
to
close
for
that
day.
That's
all.
E
So
you
were
able
to
work
around
their
particular
scheduling
and
then,
but
with
the
gymnasium
that
doesn't
seem
to
be
a
possibility.
M
Well,
we
we've
reached
out
to
them
a
couple
times
to
try
and
you
know,
work
out
some
kind
of
a
explaining
lack
of
a
better
term
truce
and
unfortunately,
mr
harrison's,
the
one
that
we
were
discussing
with
and
essentially
he
said,
I'm
sorry,
but
you
know
nothing
personal,
but
no.
I
don't
want
you
next
door
to
me
period.
E
M
N
Yeah
hi
councilman
engler
on
a
typical
day.
We
would
see
somewhere
around
60
60
people,
60
customers
per
day.
D
M
On
my
arm,
this
is
paul
burns
again
we
initially,
we
were
asked
that
at
the
council
meeting
too,
if
you
recog,
when
we
first
opened.
No,
our
goal
is
to
just
do
brick
and
mortar
sales
until
we
get
very
established,
because
you
know
there's
going
to
be
growing
pains
getting
everybody
trained
and
smooth.
D
C
A
question
from
mr
burns:
it
was
in
the
supplemental
packet
pointed
out
that
your
lease
will
allow
for
recreational
sales
of
marijuana.
Obviously
you
don't
have
a
license
to
do
that.
What
would
you
be
able
to?
What
can
you
tell
us
regarding
what
is
written
into
the
lease.
M
The
lease
it
says,
medical,
I
believe
it
says
I
don't
have
at
least
in
front
of
me,
but
I
believe
it
says,
medical
cannabis
and
recreational
if
authorized
by
the
city.
Okay,
yeah.
In
other
words,
we
don't
intend,
we
don't
and
we
don't
plan
on
doing
recreation,
but
at
some
date
it
was
allowed.
Then
we
would
the
lease
would
allow
for
it.
But
right
now
our
goal
is
the
medical
cannabis.
C
Thank
you,
then.
I
have
a
question
for
the
city
attorney
mr
heather
say
the
laws
change
in
in
the
next
couple
of
years
or
so,
and
the
ruck
is
pulled
out
from
under
us
yet
again
by
the
cannabis
board.
Will
this
and
will
allow
recreational
facilities
everywhere?
J
That's
a
very
difficult
question
to
answer.
Specifically,
I
will
say
this
as
a
couple
of
examples
with
the
coven
19.
There
is
a
story.
I
read
from
massachusetts,
where
the
state
determined
that
recreational
or
adult
use
cannabis
retail
facilities
were
not
not
an
essential
use
and
medical
cannabis.
Retail
facilities
were
an
essential
use
within
a
day
or
two.
There
was
a
40
increase
in
requests
for
medical
cards,
with
a
recommendation
from
physicians
to
get
the
medical
cards.
J
You
are
correct,
though,
in
the
sense
of
when
we
had
the
recent
change
to
allow
deliveries
statewide
and
that
is
being
challenged
in
the
court,
and
I
did
reach
out
to
the
attorneys
in
charge
of
that
case
last
week.
I
have
not
heard
back
from
them
when
I
last
checked
the
status
of
that
case.
It
was
still
in
the
preliminary
stages
as
far
as
document
review,
so
I
don't
have
any
status
of
our
current
case
in
california.
J
That
is
attacking
the
bcc's
decision
to
allow
statewide
deliveries,
but
you
are
correct,
like
many
things
that
we
face
where
there
are
situations
where
we
go
through
a
process
and
then
there's
a
new
regulation
that
changes
that
that
ability
for
us
to
regulate.
As
you
will
note
that
we
initially
were
able
to
band
all
uses,
and
we
did
so
and
then
we
went
to
a
decision
to
allow,
of
course,
the
one
facili
dispensary
in
one
testing
laboratory,
and
now
we've
done
two.
J
So
currently
we
can
ban
everything
other
than
statewide
deliveries,
so
that
is
still
in
our
power.
But
again,
as
you
note
it
could
change
in.
We
would
have
to
address
that
if
it
does
happen
in
the
future,
but
you
are
correct
that
it
could
change
and
then
our
plans
that
we
have
done
in
the
last
two
or
three
years
again
have
to
be
modified
based
on
those
changes.
O
J
O
O
Well,
then,
obviously,
we
have
our
municipal
code
that
only
allows
medical
dispensaries
and
not
recreational
dispensaries,
and
we
also
have
an
operations
agreement
with
in
any
for
any
dispensary,
that's
operating
in
the
city
and
despite
what
the
state
does
you
know,
I
believe
that
our
operations
agreement
is
a
con,
is
a
contract
for
all
intents
and
purposes,
and
it
binds
the
operator
on
what
they
can
and
cannot
do.
So,
mr
heeher
is
correct.
C
How
often
do
we
get
to
approve
this
operations
agreement?
Was
it
every
year
or
refreshment
memory,
please?
I
know
you
mentioned
it
earlier
so.
J
The
operations
agreement
itself
is
it
it's
usually
it's
a
five
year
with
two
five-year
options.
So
that's
how
we
were
initially
reviewing
these
again.
We
have
to
think
of.
We
were
trying
to
avoid
having
so
many
meetings
on
cannabis,
which.
K
J
Ironic
frankly,
but
that
was
the
reasoning
behind
it
is
to
have
five
year
contracts
because,
as
mr
burns
has
said
tonight
and
we've
heard
in
the
past,
there
is
a
process
in
an
effort
to
make
these
facilities
operate,
and
so
we
certainly
are
cognizant
of
that
cost.
That
goes
into
starting
an
operation
of
this
size.
D
All
right,
very
good,
so
what
I
am
hearing
from
leave
is
that
once
you
get
your
feet
on
the
ground,
delivery
from
that
location
would
definitely
be
an
option,
and
more
than
likely,
you
would
pursue
that
and
the
lease
states
that
you
can
sell
recreational
marijuana
from
that
site
and
the
potential
that,
if
you
ended
up
being
allowed
to
do
so,
you
might
pursue
that
as
well.
Correct.
D
M
C
I
have
a
question
for
mr
burns.
I'm
sorry
but
as
he
mentioned
about
the
agreement,
wouldn't
you
say
mr
burns
well,
I
would.
I
would
assume
that,
based
on
the
agreement
that
your
clients,
your
patients,
really
wouldn't
go
to
a
recreational
facility
because
they're
looking
for
a
specific
type
of
marijuana.
M
They
would
most
most
people
that
come
to
a
medical
facility,
don't
want
to
go
to
a
recreational
because
they
would
rather
have
somebody
that's
trained
to
help
them,
make
a
selection
based
upon
medical
needs
and
in
both
of
david's
existing
dispensaries.
He
has
trained
staff
on
hand
all
during
operating
hours
to
help
people
a
lot
of
times
when
patients
come
in
for
their
first
time.
M
It's
a
whole
new
world
and
basically
dave
has
the
trained
staff
to
assist
them
for
whatever
they're
looking
for,
and
also
has,
the
ability
to
call
their
physician
and
discuss
the
options
with
their
physician,
so
that
that's
something
you
would
not
get
in
a
recreational
facility.
D
Right
very
good,
just
another
question
from
myself
in
one
of
the
letters
that
you
sent
mr
burns,
you
stated
that
if
the
permit
was
granted,
there
would
be
once
the
permit
was
granted
there'd
be
no
conflict
with
your
neighbors.
M
Yes,
we
we
have
no
objection
with
future
elite
and,
as
I
stated
in
my
previous
communications,
basically,
I
don't
think
they
have
anything
against
us
as
a
dispensary.
I,
my
true
belief
is
that
they
just
want
our
space
because
they
anticipate
expanding
their
business.
M
The
we
have
a
good
neighbor
policy
period
and
as
daves
operations
have
proven,
and
we
will
rest
on
his
track
record
and
the
commendations
that
he
has
gotten
from
the
city.
We
won't
be
a
problem
with
them
and
they
won't
even
know
we're
there
because
of
the
fact
that
our
patients
come
in
the
front
door.
M
They
do
their
business,
they
come
out
the
exit
door,
they
get
in
their
vehicles
and
they
leave
the
students
and
athletes
that
are
going
to
the
training
facility
next
door,
they'll
either
go
in
the
front
door
or
maybe
they'll
go
in
the
side
door
which
to
me
makes
more
sense
because
it
goes
right
into
the
facility
without
going
through
the
offices
in
the
front.
But
the
bottom
line
is:
is
that
it's
going
to
be
like
being
next
to
a
cvs
pharmacy?
Somebody
comes
out
of
the
pharmacy
carrying
a
bag.
M
It's
pardon
me,
or
they
come
out
of
our
facility
carrying
a
bag.
There's
no
difference,
it's
the
same
people
and
you
know
eighty
percent
plus
of
our
clientele
are:
are
older
people.
You
know
they're,
not
a
group
of
young
kids,
so
to
speak,
and
so
it
the
perception
that
has
been
built
up
about
our
dispensary
is
very
disturbing
to
be
very
afraid
and
we're
we're.
We
know
that
once
we're
open,
that
we
will
not
be
a
problem
to
them
and
they
won't
be
a
problem
to
us
whatsoever.
M
So
I
think
we
can
be
good
neighbors
once
once
it's
effective
that
we
are
open
and
we're
there,
then
they'll
realize
they're
not
going
to
get
the
location
and
I
think
we'll
be
good
neighbors,
that's
my
hope.
D
All
right,
thank
you,
mr
burns,
all
right,
very
good,
I'm
going
to
move
on
now
because
we
have,
I
believe,
about
14
speakers,
and
I
want
to
give
everybody
some
time
here
and
some
are
on
the
phone
and
some
are
through
video.
D
I
can
thank
you
we're
waiting
for
a
connection
with
mr
woolley.
P
P
So
basically
we
have.
It
is
a
youth
center
for
youth
kids
to
come,
develop
whether
need
of
homework
or
athletics
or
training
all
of
the
above
right
there,
and
we
help
them
develop
there
and
the
dispensary
that's
going
to
go
right
next
to
our
facility
is
going
to
be
a
big
problem
because
number
one,
the
younger
kids,
are
going
to
be
exposed
to
some
of
those
substances
and
it
create
a
higher
risk
for
them
to.
You
know,
start
getting
involved
with
that
which
we
would
we
do
not
want.
P
Number
two
is
some
of
the
kids
that
will
be
with
us
at
that
center
are
being
transferred
from
the
inner
city,
los
angeles
and
they've
never
really
got
to
see
other
sides
of
life
out
here,
such
as
the
beautiful
west
lake
in
ventura
county,
and
it
would
be
very
disappointing
to
have
them
exposed
to
that
when
we,
you
know,
provided
that
plan
to
have
them
out
here.
P
I'm
the
director
of
sports
performance
for
the
facility
so
I'll
be
running
all
the
training
there,
and
I
just
think
it's
not
that
good.
If
that
leaf,
dispensary
is
right
next
to
it,
just
for
the
outreach
of
the
younger
kids
and
the
exposure
that
they
could
have.
I
really
appreciate
you
guys
time
listening
to
me
today.
Thank
you
so
much.
G
Hi
there,
my
name
is
tristan
harrison.
I
live
in
west
lake
village,
I'm.
H
Pretty
much
just
talking
about
my
concerns
towards
the
wheat
spencer,
going
up
next
to
a
youth
training
facility.
G
I
work
a
lot
in
real
estate
in
that
area
and
I
know
for
a
fact
that
a
lot
of
those
families
that
live
in
that
area
have
kids
and
they
will
be
attending
that
youth
training
facility
because
they
all
play
sports.
They
all
do
activities
outside
and
whatnot.
I
can
tell
you
from
a
financial
standpoint
that
a.
G
Decrease
the
market
value
of
those
homes
in
that
area,
along
with
families
moving
into
that
area,
so
there
won't
be
a
lot
of
population
growth.
That's
pretty
much
all
I
have
to
say,
but
I
just
want
to
express
my
concerns
about
that.
Wheat,
dispensary.
G
G
We've
waited
a
long
time
for
safe
access
and
thousand
oaks
and,
frankly,
denying
them
the
right
to
exist
when
they
are
first
and
right
and
first
in
time,
because
there
is
a
gem
which
purports
to
cater
to
children,
which
in
fact
has
no
accreditation
as
a
school
and
should
not
even
be
operating
right
now
under
the
laws
of
the
state
of
california,
because
gyms
are
exempt
from
operation
during
covet.
G
In
contrast,
medical
cannabis
dispensaries
are
allowed
to
operate,
they're
considered
essential.
If
you
approve
and
let
this
operation
open.
You
are
the
lucky
recipient
of
an
operator
who
has
over
a
decade
of
experience
and
that's
important,
because
there
really
is
no
school
or
university.
You
can
go
to
to
learn
to
be
a
good
operator.
You
learn
by
doing
and
by
taking
somebody
into
the
thousand
oaks
family
who
has
such
a
long
and
storied
history
of
operation.
G
You
greatly
reduce
the
fact
that
there'll
be
any
problems
at
all
on
behalf
of
the
sick
and
dying
who
could
not
be
here
tonight
and
who
urgently
need
the
relief
that
medical
cannabis
provides.
I
would
urge
you,
in
the
strongest
personal
terms,
to
let
these
people
good
people
go
forward
with
their
dispensary.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
L
Yes,
hi
smart
sellers,
I'm
in
my
personal
residence
right
now
in
which
is
in
thousand
oaks
and
I'm
with
the
jackson
titus
law
firm
that
has
been
retained
by
the
future
elite
academy
and
they
have
informed
me
that
they
have
a
very
unique
approach
to
the
education
of
minors,
and,
let
me
tell
you
it
is
nothing
like
the
athletic
society
where
I'm
a
member.
The
athletic
society
is
90
of
the
members
are
probably
50
years
of
age
and
older.
L
They
have
pools
and
all
sorts
of
programs,
and
it's
nothing
similar
to
what
the
future
elite
academy
is
going
to
do
here.
First,
I'd
like
to
mention
that
the
investors
have
spent
over
a
million
dollars
so
far
in
securing
that
location
and
improving
the
site.
Unfortunately,
they
were
about
ready
to
open
when
the
lockdown
occurred
and
not
a
lot
has
happened
since
then.
L
That
investment
is
now
in
serious
risk,
as
I
think
common
sense
will
tell
you
it's
a
perception
issue.
Parents
simply
will
not
sign
up
their
children
if
the
leaf
is
allowed
right
next
door,
a
few
feet
away
and
that's
clearly
a
negative
impact
of
this
proposed
use.
There
will
be
around
200
young
miners,
minors
in
the
facility
each
day
and
they
will
participate
in
both
schooling
and
recreational
activities.
L
L
That
is
the
definition
of
a
youth
center
under
the
health
and
safety
code
that
is
referenced
in
the
city's
definition,
and
neither
the
states
or
the
city's
definition
say
there
can
be
no
sports
training
or
sports
activities
in
a
youth
center.
That's
simply
not
what
happens
in
boys,
clubs
and
girls
clubs
throughout
this
country.
L
Under
such
code,
the
business
cannot
be
located
within
600
feet
of
a
youth
center,
and
this
is
clearly
next
door.
In
addition,
the
codes
say
that
business
cannot
be
located
within
600
feet
of
any
private
school,
providing
instruction
to
students
in
the
grades
k
through
12.,
the
sylvan
learning
center
is
within
600
feet
of
this
site.
L
L
D
Sellers
your
time
is
up,
however,
I
I
had
a
question
for
you
if
I
may
sure,
when
it
comes
to
youth
center,
you
know.
The
definition
I
have
in
front
of
me
here
is
that
they
host
recreational
and
social
activities
for
minors.
It's
a
membership
organization
with
clubs
and
social
services,
teen
club
facilities.
That
type
of
thing,
as
I
understand
that
fea
was
primarily
athletics,
isn't
that
different.
D
F
Us
go
on
now,
mr
mayor.
Oh
yes,
if
I
may
just
jump
in
really
quick
just
want
to
clarify
before
we
get
too
far
afield
on
some
of
the
comments
that
are
out
there
and
because
it's
important
and
relevant
as
the
item,
that's
before
you
from
the
city's
standpoint
has
been
stated
several
several
times
over
we're
talking
about
a
proposed
use
in
the
adjacency,
so
the
the
use-
it's
currently
not
an
approved
use
in
that
location,
and
nor
do
we
have
a
business
license
or
any
of
those
components
that
would
go
into
operating.
F
J
That
would
be
correct.
I
mean
when,
when
we
reviewed
mr
harrison's
comments
and
when
I
met
with
him,
he
did
talk
about
this
location.
We
did
start
to
investigate
it,
just
to
see
what
we
had.
We
initially
had
some
difficulty
because
of
the
name
ironically
leaf
is
going
into
a
place
that
was
operated
by
elite
fitness,
so
we
had
some
of
this
confusion
there,
but
at
this
point
we
do
not
have
an
application.
So
it's
difficult
to
say
exactly
what
how
it's
going
to
operate.
D
D
I
So
my
name
is
nicole
nahabidian.
I
live
in
studio
city,
but
I
work
full-time
in
west
lake
village,
bordering
on
thousand
oaks.
My
boyfriend
and
his
family
grew
up
there
if
there's
a
confusion,
I'd
like
to
say
first
on,
I
do
other
branding
and
marketing,
so
I
know
the
company's
model
very
very
well.
I
I
would
like
to
stress
time
and
time
again.
This
is
an
academy.
The
individuals
that
I
work
with
have
worked
tirelessly
and
passionately
to
establish
a
company
that
is
to
better
the
youth.
As
far
as
academics,
training,
you
know,
taking
it
past
standardized
core
curriculum.
We
have
a
concept
game
after
the
game,
which
is
teaching
financial
literacy,
mindfulness
really
skills
to
get
our
youth
to
be
where
they
need
to
be
to
make
the
right
decisions.
I
You
know,
live
the
right
life
be
well-rounded,
360
individuals
and
I
get
that
it's
2020
and
it's
not
per
se
the
issue
of
a
dispensary
itself,
because
I
understand
the
need
for
it,
but
it's
being
next
to
and
exposing
it
to
our
youth.
I
think
sooner
than
really
they
need
to
be.
You
know
I'm
not
too
old
myself,
I'm
27.
So
I
think
I
see
the
best
of
the
world
I'd
like
to
think
so,
and
and
really
it
just
comes
down
to
that
I
mean
liquor.
I
Stores
are
legal,
but
to
say
that
you
know
they
can't
be
used.
You
know
in
the
wrong
way,
and
I
can
you
know,
go
and
have
a
lot
of
migraines
and
get
you
know,
medical
marijuana
if
I
needed
a
a
card
as
well,
so
it's
it
there's,
there's
a
concern
and
the
legitimacy
and
just
having
that
exposure.
I
just
don't
think
that
children
need
to
be
exposed
to
it
soon.
They
need
to
really-
and
I
think
that
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
is
get
children
to
be
the
best
that
they
can
be.
I
You
know
there's
a
lot
of
things.
You're
gonna
deal
with
in
the
world
as
you
grow
up
as
you're
an
adult,
and
I
think
that
we're
trying
to
give
them
the
best
experience
and
the
best
opportunity-
and
unfortunately
I
think
it
does
conflict
with
that
being
said.
I
think
there
must
be
other
areas
that
this
can
be
worked
out
and
just
ballet
schools,
next
door,
sylvan
learning
centers.
I
believe
understanding
energy,
so
I
would
like
to
kind
of
see
the
proof
with
that.
I
I
believe
one
of
the
managers
did
do
some
measuring
himself.
You
know
you
have
the
church
as
well.
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
factors
that
just
really
need
to
be
seen
as
a
bigger
picture
and
not
against
the
dispensary
itself,
but
the
surrounding
areas,
the
neighborhoods
and
individuals
who
will
be
attending
and
involved.
Also,
please
look
at
the
video,
the
pictures
of
the
front
door,
if
shown,
there's
not
a
large
wall,
I'm
not
sure
what
is
being
referred
to
there's
some
shrubbery
and
about
a
two
foot
divider
that
will
be
our
front
door.
Q
So
my
name
is
aaron
garcia.
I
am
a
resident
of
moore
park,
california.
I
have
extensive
background
in
baseball.
I
have
a
short
pass
with
the
new
york
mets
in
the
minor
league
system.
Q
I
lived
out
in
the
state
of
florida
for
a
couple
years:
trained
minor,
leaguers
trained
major
leaguers.
I
came
back
about
seven
years
ago
into
west
lake
thousand
oaks,
more
park
area
moorpark
home,
but
I
immediately
started
working
with
oaks
christian
high
school,
I
coached
the
oaks
baseball
academy,
which
is
the
group
of
children
that
is
below
high
school,
I'm
getting
them
ready
for
high
school
after
oaks
baseball
academy.
Q
I
moved
to
west
lake
bay
or
west
coast
baseball,
which
we
just
filed
a
dissolution
last
month,
and
I
also
work
with
ventura
county
baseball
academy
and
all
of
these
academies,
and
these
baseball
programs
are
designed
to
teach
the
youth
youth
baseball,
how
to
get
into.
You
know
high
school
baseball
and
then
from
there
move
on
into
college-
and
you
know
ideally
hopefully
pro,
but
we
really
really
really
focus
on
the
youth
right
now.
Q
I've
got
teams
that
are
18,
you
17
you
16,
u15,
u14u
and
13
and
12
are
are
going
to
be
building
pretty
soon.
Here
I
spoke
with
mr
harrison
and
we
decided
that
involving
the
baseball
academy
into
the
future
elite
academy
is
something
that
we
definitely
want
to
do,
which
I
love.
So
we
filed
my
partners
and
I
filed
a
dissolution
for
west
coast
baseball.
Q
We're
going
to
now
be
partnering
with
the
future
elite
academy
as
future
elite
baseball
academy,
which
all
of
my
youth
players
will
be
attending
what
they
do
is
they
attend
two
practices
at
the
baseball
field
per
week,
and
then
they
attend
two
practices
at
the
training
center
per
week.
All
of
them
are
underage
once
they
get
you
know
into
college,
then
they
go
on
their
way
into
college.
Q
I
get
that
the
the
dispensary
has
come
a
long
way
and
I
really
want
to
applaud
everybody,
that's
working
so
hard
and
in
the
city
as
well
we're
trying
to
advance
all
of
us
together.
You
know,
but
that
and
I
and
I
I
really
hope
that
that
leaf
has
everything
that
you
know
all
the
details
put
together
and
then
they're
gonna
be
nice
and
safe
and
friendly
for
our
community
and
helpful.
You
know
my
problem:
is
we
just?
Q
Q
Our
quarantine
is
released,
we're
going
to
have
75
players
going
two
times
a
week.
That's
150
training
sessions
after
school
hours,
and
you
know
I
I
just
can't
help
but
think
that
the
the
leaf
center
would
not.
The
business
would
not
be
phased
by
our
our
training
facility,
our
youth
center,
but
our
youth
center
will
100
percent
be
affected
by
the
leaf
business
being
next
door.
I
just
can't
help
but
feel
that
way
so.
D
Very
good
all
right!
Next
up,
we
have
brock
tybin
brock.
R
All
right
guys
how
you
doing
my
name
is
brock
tybin,
I'm
a
resident
of
newberry
park.
California,
I'm
also
the
general
manager
of
the
future
elite
academy,
and
I
want
to
start
off
by
just
saying
a
few
things
just
to
kind
of
clarify
some
of
the
stuff.
That's
happened.
First
of
all,
we
did
sign
our
lease
with
sr
associates
the
landlords
of
the
property.
On
november
1st
it
was
not
the
end
of
november.
R
On
that
exact
same
day,
we
did
also
let
them
know
that
if
elite
training
did
ever
move
out,
we
did
want
to
acquire
that
space.
This
was
prior
to
any
knowledge
of
leaf
dispensary
in
any
way
shape
or
form.
They
told
us
that
elite
planned
on
staying
there
forever,
and
so
we
left
it
at
that.
We
did
also
find
out
that
during
that
time,
they
kind
of
let
leaf
go
into
an
agreement.
R
Once
we
did
find
out,
we
got
a
lot
of
feedback
from
parents
initially
asking
why
we
would
be
opening
up
next
to
a
dispensary
before
we
had
any
knowledge
of.
So
we
came
to
the
conclusion
that
obviously
the
landlords
did
want
to
rent
the
space
out
and
we
were
asked
a
little
bit
prior,
specifically
not
to
refer
to
ourselves
as
a
youth
center
and
we
kind
of
realized.
Why
now
we
were
asked
not
to
do
so.
R
Also,
I
am
the
employee
myself
that
did
go
out
and
do
the
measurements
between
our
our
facility
and
sylvan
learning
center,
and
it
is
absolutely
within
600
feet
in
a
straight
line
for
anyone
that
did
those
measurements
and
says
it's
over
600
feet.
I
would
love
for
them
to
come
out
and
show
me
the
proof
in
person
a
couple
other
things
to
touch.
R
As
far
as
like
social
clubs
and
things
of
that
nature,
we
do
have
a
seven
on
seven
football
team
that
is
13u,
so
that's
age,
13
and
under
we
actually
had
them
competing
for
a
national
championship
this
year.
Up
until
this
covet
19
pandemic
hit,
at
which
point,
obviously
our
season
ended
and
it's
no
longer,
but
those
kids
will
continue
to
train
in
our
facility
every
day
and
they
are
one
of
the
social
clubs
that
is
a
part
of
our
community
and
helps
define
us
as
a
youth
center.
R
Also,
darnay
holmes
is
one
of
the
upcoming
nfl
draft
picks.
He
is
launching
his
mentorship
program
through
the
future
elite
academy
with
us
and
he's
going
to
be
doing
that
to
help
mentor
and
guide
all
of
the
youth
in
our
community
to
shape
them
into
not
only
just
better
athletes
but
better
humans
as
well.
I
think
we
can
all
appreciate
how
important
that
really
is
right.
R
Now
and
kids,
I
mean
they're
so
susceptible
to
either
going
one
direction
or
the
other,
and
we
really
want
to
help
shape
and
guide
these
kids
to
making
the
right
choices
and
just
becoming
absolute
amazing
people
and
amazing
leaders
in
the
future
other
than
that
athletic
society.
We
were
kind
of
compared
to
athletic
society.
We
are
different
than
them.
They
do
not
have
any
sort
of
mentorship
program,
they
don't
have
any
sort
of
13.
R
U
football
team,
no
baseball
teams,
no
sort
of
youth
specific,
I
guess
training
or
teams,
or
social
clubs
or
anything
of
that
nature,
and
we
just
we
really
are
a
youth
center
to
be
honest,
and
we
have
a
very,
very
impact
to
the
youth,
we're
very
excited
to
bring
a
lot
of
positivity
to
our
community.
R
I
I
I
know
the
upstanding
citizens
that
live
here
and
I
understand
you
know-
and
I
want
to
say
first
and
foremost
that
I'm
not
here
to
publicly
bash
the
leaf
dispensary
by
any
means,
I
respect
all
business
owners
and
in
their
endeavors
and
how
hard
they've
worked
to
make
this
make
their
dream
come
into
fruition.
But
when
it
comes
to
you
know
the
the
youth
of
this
community,
I'm
concerned
about
having
a
dispensary
right.
I
Next
to
the
academy,
the
future
elite
academy
is
a
training
facility
and,
most
importantly,
a
youth
and
teen
center
for
the
kids
in
the
community.
You
know
to
do.
Excuse
me
to
do
homework
practice
their
craft
and
their
respective
sports
in
a
safe
place
to
go
and
have
fun
with
others
that
you
know
their
peers,
others
around
their
age.
I
We
provide
opportunities
for
these
kids
to
to
better
themselves,
both
academically
and
athletically,
as
well
as
giving
back.
You
know
in
many
different
philanthropic
events
over
the
course
of
the
coming
years.
Having
this
dispensary,
I
feel,
like
you
know,
next
door
will
discourage
parents
from
sending
their
kids
to
the
academy,
because
you
know
the
dispensary
and
the
stipulations
that
come
along
with
marijuana.
I
I,
like
nicole,
said
I
understand
that
it
is
the
year
2020,
but
the
fact
of
the
matter
is,
is
you
know
parents
would
not
like
to
send
their
kid
if
they,
if
they're
literally
within
six
feet
of
a
marijuana,
dispensary
the
fact
that
you
know
I.
I
heard
this
brought
up
throughout
the
the
city
council
meeting
tonight
that
this
is
for
medicinal
use,
and
you
know
that
that
doesn't
settle
me
at
all,
because
you
can
go
to
any.
I
You
know
doctor
and
get
a
prescription
for
a
medical
marijuana
card
down
in
venice
beach,
for
you
know,
x
amount
of
dollars
with
you
know
a
made-up
injury
or
illness.
I
So
you
know
just
to
close
it
off
this
powerful
and
prolific
upstanding
community
that
I've
grown
up
in
and
my
counterparts
have
grown
up
in
and
many
different
successful
business
owners
and
people
that
have
grown
up
in
that
that
raise
their
kids
want
a
conducive
environment
for
for
years
to
come,
and
you
know
I
appreciate
you
guys
giving
me
the
time
to
speak
and
thank
you
for
your
time
and
please
stay
safe
during
these
times.
Thank
you.
S
Good
thank
you,
and
I
appreciate
you
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
speak
tonight.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
mayor
and
the
council
members
for
all
of
our
work
during
these
rough
times,
and
I
know
that
it
can
be
very
difficult
and-
and
I
support
you
and
all
that
you're
saying
my
name-
is
brett
harrison.
I'm
the
ceo
and
one
of
the
founders
of
the
future
lead
academy.
S
Future
lead
academy
is
located
at
2382
towns,
gate
road
in
westlake
village.
The
future
lead
academy
is
a
youth
training
and
development
center,
focusing
on
the
development
of
our
local
youth.
Our
company
was
built
to
help
our
youth
in
such
areas:
elite,
academics,
elite,
athletic
training,
mindfulness
leadership,
financial
literacy
and
speaking
engagements,
as
well
as
a
recruiting
process
to
get
to
college.
S
Our
entire
focus
for
the
future
of
the
academy
is
to
develop
our
youth
to
become
incredible
humans
in
mind
body
and
soul.
We
are
not
a
just
a
gym.
We
are
not
like
a
gold's
gym
or
something
like
that.
We
are
a
youth
development,
company
and
academy
specifically
focused
on
making
these
youth
at
such
a
prime
age.
To
make
the
right
decisions
in
life,
we
have
partnered
with
people
like
darnay
holmes.
To
start
a
mentorship
program
to
help
our
youth
become
greater
b
will
be
a
facility
that
will
be
open
seven
days
a
week.
S
We
will
be
having
two
to
three
hundred
kids
per
day
between
the
ages
of
eight
and
eighteen
in
and
out
of
our
facility,
not
just
to
train,
but
to
also
be
be
involved
in
seminars
where
they
will
learn
these
critical
aspects
of
being
a
perfect
human
being,
such
as
how
to
shake
hands.
How
to
ask
for
help
when
they're,
when
they're,
when
they're
in
dire
need
of
help
how
to
help
with
their
mental,
their
mental
fitness,
as
well
as
their
physical
fitness,
they
will
have
mentorships
inside
our
program.
S
Their
parents
will
be
able
to
drop
them
off
on
a
saturday
or
a
sunday
for
a
game
film
with
their
other
teammates.
They
will
congregate
inside
our
facility
in
our
kitchen
on
our
couches
and
watch
game
film,
and
they
will
be
a
part
of
all
that
together.
That
is
a
youth
center
by
all
means,
that's
what
we
are
so
calling
us.
So
I
want
to
say
this:
on
november
1st,
we
signed
a
five-year
lease.
S
We
were
told
when
I
asked
if
I
could
have
the
place
next
door
on
that
day,
in
exact
words,
the
tenant
next
door
is
not
leaving
ever.
It
then
came
to
my
attention
that
leap
dispensary
has
signed
an
exclusive
right
to
to
lease
next
door.
2360.,
and
let
me
just
say
in
that
lease
it
clearly
states
in
their
option
to
be
a
medic
to
be
a
a
recreational
cannabis
facility
option.
Two.
Do
that.
That's
exact
words.
It
said
in
our
redis
morning
exhibit
d
on
the
supplemental
packet
that
I
had.
S
I
also
want
to
just
talk
about.
You
know
we
have
no
ill
will
towards
leaf.
It's
the
owners
or
anybody
involved
in
the
medical,
cannabis
business,
and
my
heart
goes
out
to
the
people
that
do
need
medical
cannabis.
It
is,
it
is
it's
a
wonderful
thing
to
have.
We
cannot
have
it
next
door
to
a
youth
facility
and
a
church.
That's
the
reality.
It's
10
feet
away
from
my
door.
Door
to
door
is
10
feet
10.
So
that
means
my
kids
are
going
to
walk
out
of
a
leadership
program.
D
Right
very
good,
I'm
just
going
to
ask
you
flat
out:
do
you
want
this
council
to
not
grant
the
new
location
for
leaf,
so
you
can
get
the
space
or
because
you
feel
that
it'll
have
a
negative
impact
on
your
business.
S
I
absolutely
do
not
need
the
space
next
door,
nor
do
I
care
about
getting
a
space
next
door.
I
can
operate
in
my
facility.
What
this
the
problem
is
is
a
direct
impact
on
our
ability
to
do
business
with
the
youth
of
this
community
and
provide
exactly
what
our
core
values
are.
My
core
business
plan
is,
and
that
is
to
create
a
better
human
being
and
be
able
to
have
a
place
for
these
kids
to
congregate
together
and
learn
leadership
skills,
and
that
is
truly
what
we
are.
S
S
S
D
Let
me
ask
you
about:
have
you
received
any
feedback
from
the
public
specifically
to
the
effect
that
you'd
be
locating
next
to
this,
to
the
leaf
dispensary.
D
S
Discussion,
yes,
it's
all
negative
everybody
that
wants
to
all
the
moms
who
I'm
very
close
to
I've,
like
I
said,
being
at
west
lake
high
school
for
the
past
five
years,
and
with
my
kids
and
t
in
westlake
hills
and
kalina,
nearly
every
parent
I've
spoken
to
not
that
anybody's
opposed
to
a
dispensary,
we're
opposed
to
a
dispensary
between
a
youth
center
and
a
church.
S
That's
the
main
point
here
that
anything
else
doesn't
matter,
and
I
went
and
read
through
mr
burns's
packet
and
I
read
everybody's
letter
that
was
pro
the
dispensary
and
not
one
single
one
of
those
people
know
what
they're
going
in
next
to
I
guarantee
you
if
we
did,
if
we
held
a
a
vote-
and
we
told
everybody-
here's
a
church
and
a
youth
center
and
you're
going
right
in
between
both
of
them
within
eight
feet
of
each
one,
they
would
all
say
thumbs
down
and
they
would
vote
against
them.
S
That's
the
problem
is
not
everybody
knows.
What's
going
on
here
and
so
they're,
just
looking
at
oh
yeah,
we
need
a
dispensary.
Well,
I
don't
argue
with
that.
I
argue
with
it
being
the
location
next
to
us,
where
we
were
there.
First,
we
signed
our
lease
we're
ready
to
go
and
now,
all
of
a
sudden,
I
got
to
contend
with
this.
It's
a
direct
violation
of
what
we're
trying
to
give
to
our
community.
S
D
H
Right,
it's
a
little
difficult
after
hearing
the
leaf
explanation
of
their
business
plan
and
what
they're
going
to
do
and
you're
talking
about
youth
that
are
going
to
spend
do
they
have
to
they
have
to
spend
money
to
get
in
this
academy
right.
H
S
The
problem:
well,
I
appreciate
that
question
and-
and
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
answer
it-
the
reality
of
it
is
this
and
I'm
a
realist
and
the
reality
is.
I
could
stub
my
toe
right
now
and
I
could
go
down
to
venice
and
I
could
get
a
medical,
modern
marijuana
card,
that's
just
the
reality
of
it.
So
what
does
that
have
to
do
with
my
question?
What
does
that
have
to
do
with
my
question?
I'm
getting
there
and
so
the
reality.
My
question
is:
is
anybody
can
get
a
medical
marijuana
card
so
to
speak?
S
So
that
means
the
type
of
clientele
going
into
the
marijuana.
Dispensary
is
not
only
what
you're
describing
it
could
be
anyone
it
could
be
a
felon.
It
could
be
whatever
you
want.
Somebody
who
just
anybody
can
get
one
of
these
cards.
All
I'm
saying
that
we
have
so
I
would
have
these
people
walking
out
and
they're
gonna.
They
could
potentially
try
to
sell
that
same
weed
to
one
of
my
kids.
They
could
talk
to
my
kids
before
they
go
in
around
the
corner
and
tell
them
hey.
H
H
S
H
S
H
H
S
You
so
much,
I
appreciate
it
and
again
ed.
Thank
you
so
much
for
that,
and
I
will
refer
to
cannabis
here
on
out
so
having
a
canned
suspension,
let's
put
yourself
in
the
shoes
of
a
mother
that
has
heard
about
our
incredible
program,
our
incredible
facility,
everything
we
have
to
offer
from
mentorship
to
leadership
to
speaking
and
and
helping
them
with
their
academics
and
homework.
S
Let's
let
let's
take
that
mom,
for
instance,
she
just
heard
about
us.
She
comes
down
to
check
us
out.
She
comes
up.
She
says:
oh
they're,
next,
to
a
weed
dispenser,
I'm
not
bringing
my
kid
here
that
directly
impacts
my
ability
to
run
my
company
on
a
marketing
plan
and
in
development
growth
and
and
and
being
able
to
pay
my
employees,
that's
the
problem
here
is,
if
there
any
other
location,
let's
put
them
in
that
location,
but
next
to
a
business
that
is
running
what
we're
running
and
a
church.
S
That's
just
that's
just
doesn't
make
any
sense.
So
do
I
think,
there's
a
likelihood
of
selling
it
to
somebody
outside?
No,
probably
not
is
there
a
chance,
it
could
happen,
there's
a
chance,
but
the
real.
The
real
reality
here
is:
it's
a
negative
impact
on
what
we're
trying
to
develop
as
a
business,
and
we
signed
our
lease
on
november
1st.
D
All
right,
brett,
I
believe
mayor
pro
tem,
has
a
question
as
well.
C
D
C
Yeah
one
second,
I
I
was
wondering
about
the
your
concern,
obviously
with
the
image
of
a
medicinal
dispensary,
and
would
you
have
the
same
problem
with
a
pharmacy
being
next
door,
a
pharmacy
that
stocks,
oxycontin,
xanax
and
all
kinds
of
other
painkillers
with
less
security
than
what
this
particular
facility
will
have
or
would
have.
S
Yeah,
so
I
can
take
my
five-year-old
daughter
into
cvs,
but
I
can't
take
her
into
a
cannabis
shop,
so
you
know
it
it's
it's
just
it's
it's
a
different.
This
is
a
brand
new
situation
that
we
have
going
on
right
now
and
his
pharmacies
have
been
around
for
30
40.
S
You
may
have
a
beginning
of
time
and
taking
your
five-year-old
into
a
cbs
is
far
different
than
taking
her
into
a
cannabis
shop,
so
the
reality
of
that
is,
there
is
no
comparison
and
unfortunately,
what
comes
along
with
cannabis-
and
we
can
say
here
I
keep
talking
about
the
perception
perception-
is
always
greater
than
fact
right.
So
the
perception
of
this
is
going
to
be
there's
a
dispensary
next
to
a
youth
center
and
a
church
in
our
city
of
westlake.
S
E
I
have
a
question
from
mr
councilmember
angler.
Thank
you,
mr
hair.
Thank
you
for
for
answering
our
questions
appreciate
it.
The
question
I
have
the
just
specifics
here
is
the
the
applicant
for
leaf:
has
a
multi-year
track
record
with
zero
issues
at
his
business.
E
E
Is
that
a
problem
that
you
foresee
or
is
it
simply
that
there's
a
concept
out
in
the
in
the
community
that
perhaps
it's
being
tainted
as
a
as
a
head
shop
type
thing.
S
No,
I
I
wouldn't
go
there
and-
and
I
wouldn't
I'm
not
going
to
necessarily
say
there's
going
to
be
a
major
problem
with
security
or
whatever.
It
is
the
fact
that
a
I
have
been
reached
out
by
numerous
parents
across
wesley,
which
I
know
pretty
much
everyone
in
this
in
the
school
around
here
from
kindergarten
all
the
way
up
to
high
school
we've
been
here
for
a
while
coaching
sports
and
the
reality
of
it
is
comments
like
this.
How
can
you
open
up
your
academy
next
to
a
dispensary?
S
I
have
had
people
on
our
seven
on
seven
team.
My
parents
come
to
me.
Oh,
what
are
you
gonna
do
about
the
dispensary
next
door.
These
are
real
comments
from
real
people
with
real
kids,
and
that
is
a
problem,
and
I
gotta
tell
you
that
parent
is
probably
gonna,
make
a
decision
not
to
come
to
my
academy
and
not
to
be
a
part
of
our
program
because
of
the
dispensary
and
what
it
could
bring
with
the
problem.
It
could
cause.
That's
really
what
we're
talking
about
here.
There's
no
magic
ball!
S
Here
I
mean
we
don't
know.
What's
going
to
happen,
it's
the
fact
that
it
could
and
it
is
a
direct
violation
of
what
I'm
trying
to
teach
and
we're
trying
to
create
within
our
academy
and
the
free
space,
and
I
want
to
go
on
another
point.
Mr
burns
had
mentioned.
I
had
a
door
in
the
back
of
my
facility.
S
I
actually
have
two
doors
in
the
back
of
my
facility:
there's
a
one
on
the
corner:
that's
a
glass
door
and
there's
a
roll-up
door
that
roll-up
door
will
be
open
all
day,
long
to
ventilate
air
and
for
our
kids
to
be
out
there
running
past
the
turf
into
the
parking
lot.
You
know
what's
right,
next
door
within
five
ten
feet
the
roll-up
door
for
leaf,
so
that
that's
going
to
be
open.
S
What
I
don't
I
haven't
heard
anything
about
that
being
open
their
deliveries
in
and
out
of
there
with
my
kids
back
in
the
back
of
the
facility.
So
there's
a
lot
of
things
going
on
here
that
are
not
being
they're,
not
understood
in
his
entirety.
So
to
be
able
to.
You
know
pass
this
with
all
of
these
outlying
questions
and
these
problems,
and
these
concerns
is
just
one
of
the
things
I'm
really
I'm
concerned
about.
C
We
have
a
letter
in
the
supplemental
packet
from
the
church
that
says
that
they
are
not
they're
staying
neutral
on
this
issue
same
with
the
school,
and
this
is
such
an
unfortunate
landlord
dispute
landlord
tenant
dispute
that
we
are
finding
ourselves
in.
I
mean
it's
it's
you
know.
We
have
much
worse
things
to
deal
with
at
the
moment,
but
naturally
you
have
an
investment
in
this,
as
does
mr
burns.
C
The
fact
is,
when
I
did
speak
with
mr
burns,
I
asked
if
he
had
reached
out
to
you
to
see
whether
some
sort
of
common
ground
could
be
found,
as
he
did
with
the
church,
given
that
this
particular
this
medical
dispensary
has
a
a
very
strong
record,
with
no
problems
at
all
they're,
very,
very
professional.
S
It's
just
the
way
our
building
is
set
up
and
the
proximity
of
their
front
door
and
my
front
door
and
their
back
door
and
my
back
door.
It
lends
itself
to
a
very
potentially
very
bad
situation.
I
don't
know
what
the
situation
could
be,
but
it
could
be
bad.
My
back
door
is
within
five
feet
and
those
are
huge
doors
that
roll
up
their
door
is
huge
and
it
rolls
up.
S
I
will
have
kids
in
the
back
congregating
after
their
workout
cooling
off
or
after
or
just
maybe
hanging
out
after
video
game
after
they've
played
or
whatever
they've
done
in
my
facility
out
there
and
then
they're
going
to
be
delivering.
We
there's
going
to
be
trucks
going
in
and
out
with
me.
Who
knows?
What's
going
to
be
going?
S
Excuse
me
with
cannabis,
excuse
me
and
on
the
front
end
or
the
front
end
of
the
property,
I'm
gonna
have
parents
dropping
off
two
to
three
hundred
kids
per
day
between
the
ages
of
eight
and
eighteen
outside
and
within
ten
feet,
there's
a
door
of
for
the
cannabis
shop
again.
You
know,
I
told
them
both.
I
said
I
no,
I
said.
Unfortunately,
I
could
not
be
next
to
a
cannabis
dispensary,
and
these
are
the
reasons
why
and
again,
I'm
we're
not
trying
to
be
in
the
way
of
this
happening
in
thousand
oaks.
S
We
have
a
permit
from
the
city
for
for
our
build-out
and
we
went.
Let
me
let
me
address
this
too
by
the
way,
so
we
approached
the
city
for
a
special
use
permit.
At
the
same
time,
we
were
gaining
our
building
permits.
Okay,
so
we
went
down
we
and
they
issued
all
of
our
permits
to
finish
our
facility
and
to
build
our
facility.
At
the
same
time,
we
were
going
in
there
to
ask
for
a
special
use
permit
and
brock
time.
It
was
on
the
phone
before
was
managing
this.
S
For
me,
they
said
mr
harrison,
you
don't
need
a
special
use.
Permit
you
already
have
your
minutes
granted,
so
we
stepped
away,
walked
out
and
started
our
facility.
The
facility
will
be
done
in
10
days.
We've
invested
a
million
dollars
in
this
facility,
plus
all
the
rent
that
I've
paid
and
we
are
ready
to
go.
Our
marketing
plan
alone
is
a
national
marketing
plan.
We're
on
cbs
news
the
other
day.
S
Nbc
news
is
coming
out
next
week
too,
to
interview
us
in
our
elite
athletic
academy
and
our
in
our
mentorship
programs,
because
we're
so
impactful
and
we're
so
so
the
answer
to
your
question
is:
we've
done
everything
we're
asked
to
do
so.
If
we
need
to
do
more
we're,
I
will
be
down
to
the
city
as
soon
as
the
lockdown's
over
we
will
do
whatever
is
required
of
us
of
the
city,
and
I've
made
that
perfectly
clear
to
everyone.
We
will
do
whatever
it
takes.
The
city
needs
from
us.
S
We,
under
our
understanding,
have
done
everything
that's
been
asked
of
us,
so
we
do
have
a
building.
Permit
we've
done
everything.
As
a
matter
of
fact.
Last
week
we
passed
all
of
our
inspections,
the
city
set
on
a
specter.
We
passed
them
all,
so
we
are
a
youth
center
and
from
what
I
understand,
7
000
square
feet,
anything
under
10,
000
square
feet
of
space.
We
do
not
need
a
special
use
permit
for
that's
what
I
understood.
That's
what
I
was
told
by
the
city.
S
D
D
T
Thank
you,
mayor
and
city
council.
Thank
you
so
much
for
allowing
all
right.
T
My
name
is
jeff
mccam,
a
resident
of
thousand
oaks,
and
I
appreciate
you
guys
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
speak
tonight
and
hearing
all
of
our
concerns.
I
am
the
vice
president
of
future
elite
and
I'll
explain
a
little
bit
about
this
unique
enterprise.
That's
gonna
be
going
into
the
community.
T
You
know
I
chose
to
move
to
this
area
ten
years
ago.
My
wife
and
I
did
it-
was
extremely
attractive
attractive
to
us
because
of
its
safety
and
its
cleanliness
within
you
know
relative
close
proximity
to
los
angeles.
T
You
know
it
is
something
that
many,
I
think
many
of
the
kanejo
valley
residents
also
have
chosen
to
live
here
and
work
here
for
the
same
reason,
because
of
its
cleanliness
and
safety,
I
think
that
you
know
just
the
perception
that
our
community
would
move
a
dispensary
between
a
youth
training
academy,
a
church,
a
ballet
school
and
a
sylvan
learning
center.
T
I
think
that
that
that
really
is
something
that
you
know
could
be
interpreted,
that
the
community
doesn't
care
about
its
residents,
moral
beliefs
or
the
values
of
its
properties
or
its
homes,
and
I
think
that
that's
something
that
should
be
addressed.
I
think
that
any
revenue
sources
that
might
be
generated
by
the
city
through
this
dispensary-
I
think
that
you
know
the
negative,
potentially
negative
impacts
on
the
youth,
far
outweigh
whatever
revenue
could
be
generated
in
tax
dollars.
You
know
no
matter
what
leaf
dispensary
and
their
supporters
claim.
T
I'm
coming
to
you
as
a
16-year
educator,
10
of
which,
in
the
kaneho
valley,
I
have
seen
a
significant
increase
in
the
amount
of
drug
use
and
paraphernalia
in
our
local
schools,
since
marijuana
has
become
recreationally,
acceptable
and
obviously
being
used
for
its
medical
purposes
as
well,
and
I
feel
like,
as
a
member
of
this
community,
that
by
putting
a
dispensary
in,
I
think
that
that
only
amplifies
the
problem
and
gives
our
youth
even
more
access
than
they
already
have
to
marijuana,
which
we
know
can
have
some
significant
potential
negative
impacts
on
their
lives.
T
Here
we
brought
in
darnay
holmes,
who
will
be
drafted
in
the
nfl
this
week,
who's
a
local
legend
and
he's
going
to
be
running
a
mentorship
program
to
help
young
athletes
guide
themselves
through
the
obstacles
that
they
will
face
in
life
and
ultimately
prepare
them
to
be
better
adults
later
on.
I
need.
T
We
think
about
just
the
the
the
perception
of
this.
You
know
the
canelo
valley
is
a
special
place.
There
is
no
reason
why
the
canal
valley
should
have
a
medical
marijuana,
dispensary
located
between
an
academy,
a
sylvan
learning
center,
a
ballet
school
and
a
church.
It's
just
not
the
look
that
we
want
and,
as
you
know,
the
attorney
for
leaf
said
you
know
the
clients
are
having
to
drive
distances
yeah.
We
don't
want
to
be
associated
with
some
of
those
areas.
All.
T
T
T
I
guess
what
I
wanted
to
to
bring
to
the
discussion
is
that,
even
if
this
medical
dispensary
is
operating
perfectly
in
compliance
with
with
local
laws
and
regulations-
and
there
is
no
diversion
of
product
to
to
to
youth
still
as
a
function
of
being
a
medical
marijuana,
business,
the
the
company
will
be
actively
advertising
and
promoting
its
wares.
T
And
there
have
been
a
number
of
scientific
studies
on
this
that
have
examined
the
impact,
particularly
on
youth,
one
of
which
was
conducted
last
year
in
los
angeles
county,
finding
that
young
adults.
So
I'm
just
going
to
read
quickly
from
a
los
angeles
times.
Article
on
this
study,
young
adults
who
live
in
neighborhoods
with
a
higher
number
of
medical
marijuana,
dispensaries
use
pot
more
frequently
than
their
peers
and
have
more
positive
views
about
the
drug
according
to
a
study
released
by
the
rand
corporation
and
so
yeah.
It
goes
on
from
there.
T
D
All
right,
thank
you
very
much.
We
have
up
now
dana
stevens.
B
Good
evening
my
name
is
dana
stevens
and
I'm
a
resident
of
san,
diego
california,
but
I
am
also
the
facilitator
of
a
statewide
coalition
for
smart
approaches
to
marijuana
here
in
california.
So
I
hear
from
people
like
brett
and
all
around
the
state
that
are
concerned
about
marijuana
commercialization
in
their
neighborhoods.
B
My
main
concern
for
you
today,
I'm
not
I'm
not
here
to
argue
against
the
city's
right
to
safely
cite
a
marijuana
business
in
the
city
of
thousand
oaks.
Rather
I'm
concerned
about
the
location
and
proximity
to
what
is
clearly
youth
serving
businesses,
youth,
centers
and
there
in
that,
in
that
commercial
building,
your
own
municipal
code
talks
about
any
youth
center.
The
state
business
and
professions
code
talks
about
any
youth
center
and
the
600
feet
separation.
B
Your
staff
report
discussed
the
boys
and
girls,
the
boys
and
girls
club,
which
in
fact
is
sports
and
mentoring
and
educational
support
and
role
modeling
with
positive
adults.
All
of
those
things
also
apply
to
the
future
elite
academy
also
apply
to
the
sylvan
learning
center.
B
These
are
locations
that
clearly
meet
the
definition
that
you
and
your
staff
in
the
staff
report
call
any
youth
center.
I
I
I'm
not
sure
why
there
is
so
much
attention
given
to
the
folks
opposing
this
location
should
have
to
say
what
the
negative
impact
is.
You
folks
defined
that
there's
a
negative
impact
by
calling
out
in
your
municipal
code
and
you
center
and
the
600
feet
of
separation.
B
I
would
just
hope
that
you'd
stay
true
to
your
municipal
code
and
maintain
that
600
feet
of
separation
between
the
youth
center
and
the
commercial
and
retail
sale
of
marijuana
in
your
community.
I'm
sure
there
are
much
more
suitable
locations
somewhere
else
in
thousand
oaks.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank.
P
Hello,
this
is
oliver
summers.
First
of
all,
thank
you
so
much
for
allowing
me
to
come
back
in
after
that
a
little
bit
of
a
mess
up
with
my
computer.
Earlier
again,
my
name
is
oliver
summers,
I'm
from
los
angeles,
california.
I
did
live
briefly
in
woodland,
hills
and
thousand
oaks
for
a
little
while
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
there
was
quite
a
bit
of
misinformation
over
the
past
20
minutes
that
I
would
like
to
quickly
address
if
possible.
P
I
have
been
fighting
for
safe
access
to
cannabis
in
california,
since
2005.,
and
so
obviously
I've
heard
quite
a
bit
of
all
the
different
rhetoric
over
the
years
and
first
off
I'd
like
to
just
address
a
a
review
that
was
put
in
which
says
that
there
is
a
eight
percent
decrease
in
the
likelihood
of
teens
trying
marijuana,
as
well
as
a
nine
percent
reduction
of
the
odds
of
frequent
married
water
use
in
towns
that
have
dispensaries,
and
that
was
done
through
a
four
state
issue
at
this
particular
point
in
time.
P
As
for
working
with
children,
and
the
extent
of
that
I
am
a
30-year
rugby
player
and
I
work
closely
with
the
families
of
the
santa
monica
rugby
club
who
allow
me
into
there.
So
I
can
stay
right.
There
alone
is
a
issue
when
it
comes
down
to
going
to
the
vetted
speech
and
getting
a
doctor's
note
according
to
prop
64,
which
passed
in
2016.
P
P
These
are
medical
facilities
that
are
no
different
than
a
doctor's
office,
and
I
have
to
say
that
leap
dispensary
in
goleta
and
mr
mcfarland
have
proven
above
and
beyond
as
top-of-the-line
operators
who
do
everything
completely
100
consistent
with
the
law
and
any
of
this
so-called
reefer
madness
that
is
going
to
happen
with
such
a
thing
will
never
happen
with
a
dispensary
of
such
such
care
as
leaf.
They
are
very
much
run
in
such
a
way.
P
The
cleanliness
and
the
security
would
be
a
benefit
to
the
area
and
better
than
anything
that
you
could
possibly
hope
for,
and
I
have
to
also
finally
say
we're
dealing
with
a
lot
of
goods
should
be
and
what
else
in
the
past
20
minutes
and
history
has
proven
that
that
is
not
the
case.
For
the
past
15
years,
we
have
gone
from
the
rhetoric
of
the
the
devil's
lettuce.
P
If
you
will
to
the
point
now
where
we
see
the
benefits
of
value
of
medical
cannabis
and
in
the
area
of
thousand
oaks,
we're
looking
at
a
place
where
there's
plenty
of
access
for
children's
gyms
there's
plenty
of
access
to
after
school
programs,
there's
no
lack
of
programs
to
help
children,
but
there
is
no
safe
access
to
medical
cannabis
for
the
people
that
need
it.
Thank.
P
Hi
good
evening,
members
of
the
council.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
leadership
in
these
challenging
times
and
thank
you
for
our
late
time
we're
spending,
together,
goodness
of
sardi
818
in
full
disclosure.
As
I
stated
in
my
message
to
you
once
again,
taylor,
wilson,
member
resident
of
thousand
oaks
west
lake
village,
and
I
hope
I'm
not
already
out
of
time
except
for
zero.
I
hope
I'll
get
a
reset.
P
Well,
I'll
just
keep
moving
in
full
disclosure.
This
is
not
challenging
the
california
state
law
of
marijuana
use
and
or
the
legality
of
the
sales
of
products,
not
even
a
challenge
of
by
any
means
of
the
city,
with
the
approval
permit
for
the
leaked
dispensary.
This
is
a
100,
a
challenge
of
choice
of
land
use
from
its
ex
extremely
concerned,
father
and
resident
of
the
thousands
of
community.
I'm
not
calling
on
behalf
of
the
future
elite
just
wanted
to
make
that
very
clear.
P
Being
a
father
of
five
children
is
hard
enough
to
mitigate
the
temptations
of
my
team
and
my
pre-teen
children
that
facebook
daily,
as
I
daily,
as
I
mentioned
in
my
email
to
the
to
the
council,
I've
really
been
quite
surprised,
moving
out
to
california
how
thousands
just
almost
felt
like
a
bubble.
I
would
consider
it
a
quite
stark
contrast
from
what
I
consider
a
few
exits
north
without
naming
any
communities,
and
certainly
a
few
exits
south.
P
Where
I
mentioned
where
cannabis
pain,
clinics
and
gentlemen
clubs
are
advertised
in
plain
sight,
I
truly
feel
kind
of
like
marijuana
has
been
stated
to
as
a
gateway
drug.
This
is
almost
a
gateway
for
our
community
for
heading
that
down,
as
a
businessman
like
I
said
before,
I
truly
truly
understand
the
financial
opportunity
for
the
city,
but
this
decision
is
clearly
not
directed
with
the
culture
that
I
feel
that
this
city
is
about.
I'm
calling
you
on
behalf
of
my
son,
braden,
who
was
applied
to
attend
this
academy
in
the
fall.
P
He
is
a
13
year
old
that
I
was
drawn
into
brett's
business
plan
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I'm
looking
to
find
every
way
I
can
for
my
son
to
be
successful
and
what
they
were
offering
is
what
I
was
very,
very
interested
in
the
ability
for
him
to
focus
on
financial
literacy,
public
speaking
interviewing
skills,
personal
branding,
right,
and
something
that
I,
even
though
I
came
from
a
a
well
to
do
family.
These
are
things
that
I
didn't
get
I
didn't
get
to
find
out.
P
I
had
to
figure
that
out
out,
I
didn't
figure
those
those
those
things
out
on
my
own
and
made
a
lot
of
the
mistakes
throughout
my
years,
as
I'm
sure
we've
all
done,
I'm
also
even
willing
to
invest.
Forty
thousand
dollars
for
ten
months
of
my
son
to
be
in
this
academy,
because
at
the
end
of
like
I
said,
I'm
laser
lager
focused
on
finding
opportunities
for
him
to
become
the
best
thousand
oak
citizen
he
can
be.
P
Unfortunately,
I
have
had
issues
in
the
past
with
my
brothers
and
sisters
falling
into
some
drug
use.
So
at
the
end
of
the
day
I
would
like
for
them
to
be
as
far
they're
far
away
from
that,
as
I
can
at
the
end
of
this,
like,
I
said,
I'm
sure
you're
under
massive
pressure
to
pass
this,
but
please
do
the
right
thing
and
place
this
location
somewhere
other
than
between
this
youth
facility,
a
church
and
a
youth
tutoring
center.
P
We
can
certainly
some
of
us
can
disagree
about
medical
marijuana
from
a
city
planning
perspective,
but
we
honestly
cannot
argue
that
specific
location
is
surrounded
with
the
furthest
from
appropriate
neighbors.
I
look
forward
to
hearing
the
right
decision
for
the
thousands
of
youth
and
future
taxpayers.
We
want
to
stay
in
our
city
and
then,
finally,
if
police
can
modify
operations
during
church
services
and
shut
down
their
times
when
minors
are
present,
they
clearly
see
there's
a
shared
concern
and
future
lee
should
receive
that
thing.
D
J
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
think
it
is
important
to
go
back
a
little
bit
with
the
definitions,
because
we
heard
a
lot
tonight
about
youth
center
and
even
school
and
and
what
they're,
referring
to
as
a
sensitive
uses,
that
we
have
so
again
to
remind
everybody
for
cannabis
operations.
They
have
to
be
in
the
m1
zone
and
in
the
m1
zone.
We
have
it
in
our
in
our
ordinance
that
they
have
to
be
a
certain
distance
of
600
feet,
away
from
sensitive
uses
and
under
the
state.
J
J
We
also
when
we
adopted
the
ordinance
added
as
a
sensitive
use
residence,
so
we
have
four
state
has
three.
So
we
look
at
these
four
sensitive
uses
and
when
we
first
look
at
these
locations-
and
we
did
this
at
the
very
beginning
when
we
first
started
with
legendary
and
leaf
and
a
number
of
other
applicants
a
couple
of
years
ago,
we
had
to
look
at
this
definition.
We
talked
to
our
consultants,
of
course,
and
we
worked
with
the
cdd
director
and
cdd
staff
to
talk
about
this
particular
definition.
J
That's
in
your
in
your
report,
and
what
I
heard
today
is
is
just
an
example
of
how
you
can
read
this
so
broadly
that
it
would
make
sensitive
youth
just
it
would
be
very
difficult
to
actually
find
a
location
in
any
zone,
let
alone
the
m1
zone.
If
you
could
go
that
broadly
with
it,
it's
important
to
note
that
we
have
always.
Staff
has
always
been
consistent
with
applying
this
definition,
and
we
have
said
repeatedly,
it
is
a
team
center.
J
It
is
a
boys
and
girls
club
when
we
say
that,
because
we
looked
at
the
purpose
of
this
definition
and
the
other
codes-
and
we
say:
okay,
it
is,
for
you
know,
youth
gathering
in
certain
locations
like
an
arcade
like
a
team
center
and
that's
how
we
have
done
that.
So
it
is
very
important
that
you
understand
that
from
the
beginning,
in
the
past
applications,
we
have
consistently
used
this
definition
and
our
policy
has
been
to
define
it
carefully.
And,
yes,
we
have
looked
at
these
uses.
Now.
J
You
heard
a
comment,
a
number
of
comments
about
this
training
facility,
next
door
being
proposed
next
door
at
the
youth
location.
First
of
all,
we
can't
even
say
analyze
that
would
even
qualify
for
a
definition,
because
we
don't
have
a
permit.
We
don't
have
anything
concrete
to
go
with
what
exactly
what
they're
doing?
How
big
are
they
going
to
be?
J
We
we
tried
to
look
at
the
definition
we
said.
Okay,
what
is
how
are
we
going
to
interpret
this?
I
want
to
bring
you
back
to
the
time
that
we
had
the
first
three
final
candidates
for
cannabis.
It
was
legendary,
it
was
a
leaf
and
it
was
a
third
candidate
whose
name
I
can't
remember
it
was
the
third
candidate
that
was
next
to
art
trek
and
in
our
trek
they
talked
about
all
the
youth
that
were
going.
There
was
like
a
art
facility
right.
J
J
Broadly
and
I'll,
say
frankly
that
today,
when
I
heard
some
of
the
definitions
of
what
they
thought
with
the
youth
center,
it
was.
It
was
definitely
so
broad
that
you
could
start
doing
things
like
pottery
classes
that
have
a
bunch
of
children
that
go
to
it
or
a
a
facility.
That's
designed
for
for
kids
to
go
for
birthday
parties
and
things
of
that
nature,
and
then
we
get
stuck
with
trying
to
look
at
any
possible
use.
What
is
it
how
many
youth
do
they
have
there?
J
What's
the
percentage
and
we
get
into
this
very
difficult
kind
of
administrative
review,
which
would
be
it
just?
Wouldn't
it
wouldn't
make
it
work
for
trying
to
find
any
location
for
the
m1
zone
all
right.
The
next
thing
we
heard
was
about
sylvan
academy
that
this
tutoring
place.
We
did
look
at
that
location.
J
J
So
we
looked
at
that
as
well
and
again
I
mentioned
our
trek
from
the
before
it
wasn't
considered
in
our
in
our
analysis
as
a
youth
center,
but
one
in
which
we
did
consider
the
impacts
that
they
were
voicing
when
it
was
before
you
before.
J
There
was
also
a
comment
about
the
sup
from
mr
harrison.
If
you
rem
remember
that
early
remarks
from
mr
miss
noonan
and
myself,
we
talked
about
their
use
and
what
they
have
right.
Now
we
actually
have
to
say
tonight
we
could
have
miss
pizzati
or
mr
mr
town
talk
about
this,
but
we
don't
have
an
indication
that
if
this
was
a
gym
or
or
an
athletic
facility
kind
of
training
facility,
it
probably
would
have
triggered
us
to
say.
Oh,
you
might
need
some
type
of
sap.
We
need
to
look
at
this
carefully.
J
I
can't
say
right
now
on
the
dice
that
we
know
that
we
certainly
could
work
with
them
to
find
out
what
that
is.
But
again
that's
a
a
separate
issue.
We
if
they
needed
scp,
we
would
have
to
go
through
that
process
and
obviously
mr
harrison
indicated
that
he
would
be
willing
to
do
that,
but
to
sit
here
today
and
try
to
tonight
and
try
to
guess
on
what
what
happened
there.
It
would
be
very
difficult
for
us
to
do
that.
J
I
I
think
the
last
time
I
would
make
is
again:
you
see
the
conflicts
that
we
were
going
to
have
with
any
cannabis
use,
whether
it's
the
concerns
of
youth
being
challenged
and
being
concerned,
for
you
know
for
impacts
to
them
to
the
negative
impacts
that
it
could
have
on
a
business
or
surrounding
businesses.
J
And
again
I
want
to
bring
you
back
to
the
code,
which
does
say
that
you
have
the
right
as
council
tonight,
to
balance
those
things
balance
the
the
elements
of
what
they
need
to
get
into
the
location
like
the
m1
zone
and
then
also
balance
the
negative
impacts
that
such
a
use
could
have
on
the
surrounding
businesses.
And
you
heard
certainly
you
heard
that
tonight.
D
E
Ahead,
mr
mayor
and
members
of
the
city
council
in
the
community,
I
wanted
to
address
the
question
briefly
about
a
special
use,
permit
its
staff's
understanding
generally
and,
as
you
heard
tonight
from
many
speakers,
that
a
primary
or
significant
part,
at
least
of
the
elite
academy's
activity
is
related
to
athletic
training
and
per
the
city's
municipal
code
in
the
industrial
park
zone,
whether
it's
a
health
club,
fitness,
studio
or
gym.
All
of
those
uses
require
a
special
use
permit.
E
If
the
facility
is
large,
if
it's
over
ten
thousand
square
feet,
then
that's
a
planning
commission
level
sup.
If
it's
less
than
ten
thousand
square
feet,
it's
an
administrative
sup
in
this
case
the
elite
tenant
space,
is
over
ten
thousand
square
feet.
So
if
that
is
how
it
would
be
classified,
then
that
is
a
clearly
a
special
use
permit.
E
E
We
would
be
happy
to
sit
down
with
elite
and
talk
about
their
use
in
the
appropriate
permit
process
at
such
time
as
they
submit
a
business
application.
We
would
also
provide,
what's
known
as
a
zone
clearance
and
that's
a
check
to
ensure
that
the
used
is
consistent
with
the
zone
in
which
it's
proposed.
H
J
Mr
jones,
I
I
do
not
have
that
information.
I
apologize.
I
it's
not
something.
That's
that
again,
it's
it's
more
of
the
use
next
door,
kind
of
analysis
that
we're
doing
I
we
have
not
looked
into
other
other
facilities
that
they
may
have.
D
D
F
Any
others,
but
just
to-
and
I
don't
want
to
further
clarify
the
point
that
that
patrick
made
the
issue
before
the
council
tonight-
is
an
issue
about
the
the
leaf
dispensary
and
the
location
there.
So
the
west
academy,
which
is
not,
which
does
not
have
doors
open
and
we
do
not
have
a
business
permit
or
any
of
those
components
attached
to
it.
Therefore,
it's
it's
not
something
that
we
would
have
done
a
deep
due
diligence
in
any
sort.
D
I
understood
okay,
any
other
questions
from
my
fellow
council
members.
C
Yes,
mr
mayor,
I
was
hoping
that
perhaps
mr
harrison
would
still
be
in
the
waiting
room,
but
I
guess
he's
gone.
If
you
can
hear
us,
it
would
be
great
to
get
him
back.
D
Well,
I
believe
we're
trying
that,
but
in
the
interim
did
you
have
any
other
question
that
you
wanted
to.
G
C
Mr
harrison,
you
I'm
not
sure
whether
you
heard
what
mr
town,
our
community
development
director,
mentioned
at
the
podium
regarding
the
permits.
My
question
is
you
said
that
you
are
planning
to
open
in
about
10
days.
S
Yeah,
so
let's,
let's
address
a
couple
of
his
comments,
so
it
is
my
understanding.
The
special
use
permit
is
only
needed
for
the
administrative
permit
is
what
he's
really
talking
about
our
floor
space,
our
floor
space
is
7
000
square
feet
that
we're
utilizing
for
the
german
academy.
So
this
is
part
of
the
problem.
Some
of
the
facts
are
just
unclear
right,
so
we
did
exactly
what
the
city
asked
us
to
do
in
regards
to
permits.
We
came
down
there
we
filed
for
our
permits.
S
We
went
to
submit
for
us
our
supplement
or
our
special
use.
Permit.
You
don't
need
that
you're,
a
youth
center
and
your
physical
activity
space
is
7
000
square
feet.
You,
don't
you
don't
need
that,
so
we
walked
away
with
zap
exactly
what
they
asked
us
to
do.
Okay,
so
we've
spent
the
last
five
months,
building
adhering
to
the
city
getting
our
inspections
cleared
and
now
we're
ready
to
go
so
tonight.
Like
I
said
a
few
minutes
ago,
we
will
do
whatever
it
takes.
S
If
I
we're
not
ready
to
open
because
we're
on
lockdown
right
now,
what
I
meant
was
in
10
days,
we
will
have
our
construction
finished
and
we'll
be
ready
to
move
forward
whatever
that
means
for
me
in
the
city.
I
will
make
that
happen,
so
I'll
do
whatever
I
need
to
do
in
order
to
adhere
to
city
policy,
I'm
just
simply
telling
you
what
the
city
told
me
and
so
we're
happy
to
do
whatever
that
takes.
I
want
to
open
as
soon
as
the
lockdown
is
up
absolutely
that's
what
I
want
to
do.
S
Our
youth
deserves
it.
We
have
people
lined
up
waiting
to
come
into
our
facility.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
for
the
past
three
weeks,
the
the
youth,
the
future
elite
academy,
has
been
giving
free,
zoom
workouts
from
12
to
one
every
single
day
and
we've
had
50
to
80
clients
on
zoom
every
day,
since
we
started
four
weeks
ago
that
can
kind
of
tell
you
who's
going
to
be
in
our
facility
and
how
many
people
want
to
come
in,
and
they
were
mainly
youth
on
those
workouts.
C
Okay,
I
think
mr
councilmember
jones
had
a
question
for
you
as
well.
My.
H
I
just
wonder
mr
harrison
what
has
been
your
experience
at
your
other
locations
and
your
other
academies.
S
This
is
our
very
first
academy.
That
is
why
this
is
so
critical
for
us
to
get
this
right
and
we
have
it.
We
have
plans
of
expanding
to
pasadena
to
santa
clarita,
san,
diego
and
korea
in
the
out
in
corona
over
the
next
two
years,
two
to
three
years,
so
everything
that
happens
within
this
facility
in
westlake
village
is
critical
to
where
we're
moving
with
this
company
and
this
brand
and
how
we're
going
to
be
able
to
benefit.
H
S
H
S
I
do
know
we
have
a
very
good
idea
in
our
business
model.
We've
been
in
business
for
years,
so
when
we
create
business
models,
we
base
that,
upon
forecasts
of
who's
going
to
be
in
and
out
of
our
gyms-
and
I
say
my
staff,
because
my
staff
is
directly
involved
with
the
youth
in
this
community
in
their
daily
business
prior
to
meeting
me
and
they
are
aaron.
Garcia
just
spoke
to
you
about
the
baseball
academy.
You
just
referenced
300
kids
coming
to
my
facility
from
his
baseball
program.
S
He
just
mentioned
that
between
the
ages,
8
and
15
years
old
we've
got
the
football
community,
eddie
mcgilvra
who's,
a
defensive
line,
coach
he's
bringing
his
everybody.
He
knows
to
mice,
they're
all
youth,
so
we
have
a
pretty
good
idea
of
the
ratio
and
the
ratio
will
likely
be
70,
30,
kids
to
adults.
O
With
respect
to
the
elite
academy,
it's
very
important
to
remember
that
staff
does
not
have
an
opportunity
to
evaluate
what
that
facility
is
going
to
do
how
it's
going
to
operate,
because
we
don't
have
the
information
on
it.
And
while
I
I
truly
appreciate
everything
that
mr
harrison
and
his
staff
are
doing
to
try
to
open
it.
When
we
do
an
analysis
of
a
of
a
potential
business
to
come
into
a
city
at
a
certain
location,
we
look
at
what
the
existing
uses
are
that
are
surrounding
it.
O
O
The
location
that
leaf
has
chosen
meets
all
aspects
of
the
municipal
code
requirements.
That
being
said,
council
can
consider
various
aspects
of
it,
but
I
don't
want
to
go
down
this
kind
of
like
rabbit
hole
of
analyzing.
What
this
project
of
the
academy
is
going
to
be
when
it
doesn't
exist
legally
right
now
that
makes
sense.
D
O
M
This
is
paul
burns
again
and
rebuttal
be
brief.
The
first
thing
is,
is
that
of
the
several
speakers
that
I
was
listening
to
that
were
against
our
location
they
kept
stating
that
they
don't
want
the
youth
exposed
to
our
dispensary
that
they
were
concerned
about
the
exposure
to
the
marijuana.
M
I'd
like
to
know
what
exposure
they're
talking
about
under
the
ordinance.
There
will
be
absolutely
no
signs
on
the
building,
except
for
the
name
of
the
business
leaf
on
the
front
door.
There'll
be
no
posters
with
weed
or
pod
as
they're,
calling
it
there'll
be
no
cannabis
signage
whatsoever,
and
so,
when
you
look
at
the
building,
you
drive
up.
It's
gonna,
look
like
any
other
building,
there's
five
in
a
row
and
they
all
look
the
same,
and
so
I
don't
know
where
these
people
are
coming
from
when
they
keep
saying
the
exposure.
M
M
Where
is
it
we're
running
a
medical
cannabis
disposal?
Dispensary
they
leave
the
clients,
leave
with
a
a
sealed
bag
they
get
in
their
vehicles,
they
leave.
We
have
security
every
minute,
we're
open.
We
have
security
there.
The
security
system
cameras
we
have
that
will
be
installed,
are
state
of
the
art
24
hours
a
day
every
day
they
cover
every
aspect
of
the
parking
lot
front
side
where
and
they
cover
everything
in
the
building
and
they're
constantly
monitored.
M
The
mr
harrison
made
a
comment
about
kids
being
behind
the
building
after
workout
and
being
near
our
roll-up
door
and
well.
Our
roll-up
door
is
never
open
on
the
security
protocol
unless
we
are
receiving
a
delivery.
The
deliveries
are
scheduled
ahead
of
time
when
the
delivery
comes
in
it's
in
a
plain,
unmarked
vehicle.
M
They
we
know
ahead
of
time.
They're
coming
the
security
guards
are
outside
waiting
and
then
they
pull
up
the
door
rolls
up
the
vehicle
drives
inside
the
door
rolls
down,
and
that
is
about
as
limited
as
exposure
as
you
can
get.
So
I
just
I
I
I'm
I'm.
I
get
concerned
about
the
bad
perception
that
again
keep
getting
thrown
out
there
and
then
the
only
other
thing
I
want
to
mention
is
there
is
the
second
door
back
at
the
left
rear
of
the
building
it
opens
into
their
gym.
M
Okay,
if
they
were
so
concerned
about
being
10
foot
away
from
our
front
door,
they
have
the
door,
that's
160
feet
away
from
our
front
door.
That
goes
right
into
their
facility
and
it
and
they
could
use
that
as
their
primary
entrance
for
the
kids.
If
that's
what
they're
worried
about
and
then
last
thing
on,
the
emails
that
were
sent
in
by
my
at
least
85
percent
were
in
support
of
our
location.
M
N
One
thing
I'd
like
to
point
out
is
just
plain
and
simple:
my
history
of
no
of
no
impact
on
any
of
the
businesses
around
us,
we've
been
our
bedrock
rule,
is
being
a
good
neighbor
so
that
that
speaks
for
itself.
There
there
hasn't
been
any.
There
hasn't
been
any
really
compelling
argument
about
what
negative
impact
we're
going
to
pose
propose
on
their
athletes
and
their
facility.
N
So
I
I
I
just
want
to
say
I
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart
as
a
13-year
veteran
cannabis
operator,
that
I
promise
that
we
will
do
everything
everything
in
our
power
to
operate
in
the
most
discreet
manner,
and
we
will
make
sure
that
our
our
customers
follow
are
strict
are
stick,
are
strict,
strict
protocol
and
if,
if
for
some
reason
someone
doesn't,
we
have
the
right
to
to
never
allow
them
in
the
facility
again,
and
we
remind
them
every
single
time.
It's
posted
in
multiple
spots
and
it's
stapled
to
the
exit
bag.
N
To
please
leave
immediately
put
this
in
your
trunk
and
wait
till
you
get
your
to
your
safe
location
before
you
access
your
medicine,
I
mean
this
is
medicine,
and
this
is
not
a
joke.
People
are
dying.
You
know
we
have
people
that
have
cancer,
that
can't
get
a
bite
of
food
down
their
throat
or
into
their
stomach
without
the
access
of
an
alternative
medicine
like
cannabis.
So
I
again,
I
I
promise
the
council,
the
members
of
the
community
and
all
the
surrounding
businesses,
that
we
will
be
good
neighbors
and
we
will
not
impact
anybody
negatively.
H
H
N
Sorry,
I
immediately
lost
you,
we've
been
there
we'll
be
13
years
in
august.
N
Over
the
age
between
the
age
of
like
late
20s,
it
all
depends.
I
mean
we've
had
we've
had
people
that
have
had,
you
know,
come
in
as
a
primary
physique
or
caregiver
for
someone
that
needs
cbd
oil
for
their
children,
so
a
large
range
of,
like
age
groups,
say
30
to
70.
N
these,
and
these
aren't
everybody
is
not
dying.
There's
not
every
single
person
is
not.
You
know,
on
their
deathbed,
but
there's
people
that
are
seriously
ill
that
benefit
from
this
this
medicine,
and
just
because
they
don't
look
sick
doesn't
mean
that
they
don't
utilize
this
for,
for
their
health,
for
their
health.
D
C
Thank
you.
I
have
a
question
from
mr
mcfarlane.
Reference
was
made
earlier
this
evening
about
anybody
can
get
a
medical,
a
marijuana
license
down
in
l.a,
venice,
beach
or
wherever
and
then
drive
up
here
and
get
marijuana.
Do
you
how?
N
Absolutely
we
certainly
do
we
have
we
verify
with
the
actual
physician
that
the
the
first
of
all
we
make
sure
the
physician's
license
is
in
good
standing
with
the
the
medical
board
of
california.
N
N
Well,
prop
64
has
reclas
reclassified
that
or
redefined
that,
and
they
made
it
to
made
it
to
where
the
patient
has
to
only
the
primary
physician
can
issue
a
medical
marijuana
card
to
a
patient,
so
these
recommendation-
mills
don't
exist,
don't
exist
so
and
and
if
they
do,
if
we
find
an
overabundance
of
wrecks
coming
from
some
doctor
that
we
don't
feel
comfortable
with,
we
have
the
right
to
refuse
business
with
anybody
and
we're
there.
N
N
It's
we
are
with
some
yeah
yeah,
but
it's
since
prop
64.
The
the
the
range
of
doctors
has
expanded
because
of
of
the
primary
physician
requirement,
but
but
yeah
we're
familiar
with
some
sure.
E
E
E
A
problem
with
perception
of
a
medical,
cannabis
location
next
to
a
youth
area-
I
I
did
spend
the
last
day
and
a
half
or
so
pouring
over
the
videotapes
again
of
prior
council
meetings
and
I'm
always
struck
by
in
the
was
it
the
july
of
two
years
ago.
E
E
Dispensing
of
licenses
for
for
our
this,
this
item-
the
I
think,
even
in
that
I
was
struck
even
mr
burns-
spoke
that
he
thought
that
his
his
proposal
would
have
been
higher
but
that
they
the
will
lane
property,
wasn't
accounted
for.
So
even
even
in
his
presentation,
he
was
talking
about
how
the
location
was
so
important.
E
I
I'm
I'm
having
a
problem
with
the
location,
I
think
of
town
of
townsgate,
in
that
you
have-
and
I
mentioned
this
in
one
of
the
meetings
earlier-
you
have
a
church
that
the
minister
has
asked
that
that
leaf
not
operate
during
his
normal
operation
operating
hours
on
sunday
and-
and
you
know,
the
work
got
a
good
deal
to
where
they
would
let
them
know,
60
days
in
advance
that
there
was
a
youth
event
coming
up.
E
I
can
see
how
a
business
who's
primarily
youth
oriented-
I
won't
call
it
a
youth
center,
because
it's
not
but
is
primarily
youth
oriented,
would
not
be
able
to
make
those
accommodations
around
around
a
dispensary.
E
H
Said
in
whatever
stone
agreement
with
with
leaf,
but
we've
had
a
long
experience
with
them
and
there's
something
in
me
that
says:
they've
been
diligently
trying
for
two
years
to
do
something
and
that
is
being
opposed,
and
I
have
no,
you
know
derogatory
feelings
at
all
toward
the
toward
the
youth.
So
what
is
it
called
the
future
elite
academy?
H
But
to
me
there
is
something
to
be
said
for
the
fact
that
the
primary
objection
we've
heard
tonight
is
that
there
would
be
a
bad
perception
if
they
were
to
go
there,
but
but
they
don't.
They
can't
even
tell
us,
I
mean
they're
so
new.
I
I
thought
they
had
to
experience.
I
thought
they
had
other
locations
perhaps,
but
they
don't
so
they
can't
tell
us
exactly
what
they're
going
to
have
there.
They
have
their
plans.
I've
seen
plans.
H
I
bought
some
stock
because
somebody
had
a
plan.
I'd
do
very
well,
but
I
haven't
done
very
well.
Lately
I
mean
you
can
have
plans
that
show
your.
You
know
optimistic
look
at
what
you're
going
to
do,
but
they
don't
necessarily
come
through.
So
that's
my
first
point
that
we've
had
a
long-term
experience
in
talking
about
lease
and
giving
them
permission
to
go
forward
at
one
point
in
time
and
contrasted
with
some
youth
that
has
not
been
in
existence
before
another
thing
is,
I
have
such
trouble.
H
Maybe
it's
because
I
recently
wrote
an
article
about
people
who
really
need
medical
marijuana,
that
people
that
suffer
from
cancer
and
and
so
forth.
But
there
are,
you
know
counter
to
what
some
of
the
speakers
have
said,
that
that
people,
for
some
reason,
are
going
to
go
to
the
trouble
of
getting
a
prescription,
which
I
presume,
costs
some
money
and
then
you
know
not
be
really
worthy
people.
H
It
seems
to
me
there
are
a
lot
of
worthy
people
that
need
this
cannabis.
There
are
good
citizens
in
our
community
they're,
not
crooks
they're,
not
dopings
or
something.
So
I
think
there
is
a
and
I
cannot
visualize
you
know
he
talked
about
perception.
Well,
I'd
like
to
talk
about
a
concrete
transaction.
I
cannot
visualize
someone
who's
going
to
go
to
the
time
and
trouble
of
getting
a
prescription
and
going
in
and
using
it
to
get
medical
cannabis
and
then
try
to
sell
it
to
a
13
year
old
when
he
gets
outside
the
building.
H
That
would
be
a
problem
to
anybody.
It
sounds
like
a
lot
of
people
that
really
need
it
they're
going
to
get
it
in
a
sealed
box
and
they're
going
to
go
out
to
their
car.
I
don't
see
where
the
intercourse
between
these
medical
marijuana
users
and
whatever
you
are
going
to
be
in
that
academy.
I
don't
know
how
that
would
take
place
or
what
it
would
look
like.
H
C
Well,
as
I
stated
earlier
in
the
evening,
I
am
it's
really
unfortunate
that
we're
finding
ourselves
in
in
mediating
or
trying
to
mediate
a
landlord-tenant
dispute.
That
is
really
what
this
is.
We
have
two
uses
that
are
legal
uses
in
the
city
of
thousand
oaks
in
that
particular
zone,
although
it
appears
that
the
youth
athletic
facility
or
athletic
facility
may
need
an
sup.
C
That
facility
is
not
open
yet
for
business.
They
have
made
the
improvements,
and
I
have
to
say
I.
I
am
just
really
almost
angry-
that
that
we're
having
to
to
decide
this.
C
The
this
is
not
just.
This
is
not
just
any
sort
of
weed
dispensary.
This
is
actually
a
medical
or
medicinal
dispensary,
as
we
as
we
have
heard
tonight,
it's
still
marijuana,
even
medical
marijuana,
still
has
a
long
way
to
go
to
convince
the
public
that
its
purpose
is
a
good
one.
C
There
is
still
the
perception
out
there
that
it
is
bad.
It
will
lead
to
problems
and
from
what
I
have
seen
over
the
last
two
years.
C
This
particular
applicant
has
proven
to
be
nothing
but
professional
and
would
be
one
of
the
best
medicinal
dispensaries
around
medicinal
marijuana
dispensaries
around
if
there
is
an
option,
an
opportunity
to
move
the
entrance
of
the
elite
facility,
the
future
elite
academy
to
the
to
the
other
side,
where
it's
farther
away
from
the
building.
C
Perhaps
that
is
something
that
could
be
worked
out.
I'm
I'm
just
wondering
I
know
every
day
you
you're
burning
cash
every
day
that
this
is
taking
longer,
but
I
was
just
wondering
whether
these
two
very
very
valuable
entities
cannot
really
come
together
with
a
plan
that
would
be
palatable
for
for
both
of
them.
I
completely
understand
that
a
parent
would
have
concerns
about
marijuana,
but
I
think
there
needs
to
be
education
as
to
what
this
dispensary
does.
C
C
If
cooler
heads
prevail,
if
you
to
both
sides
could
sit
down
and
just
go
over
some
of
the
options
that
are
undoubtedly
presenting
themselves
and
are
there,
you
just
have
to
look
a
little
deeper,
perhaps
such
as
moving
the
entrance
to
to
the
other
side.
I'm
not
I'm
not
quite
certain,
but
leaf
is
really
not
the
bad
guy
here
and
neither
is
future
elite
academy.
C
I
see
a
scenario
where
both
sides
can
actually
thrive
next
to
each
other,
because
it
is
much
harder
for
leaf
to
find
room
in
thousand
oaks
to
operate
than
it
would
be.
For
a
for
an
athletic
facility
catering
to
youth
and
adults.
It
is
much
easier
to
find
room
for
the
for
the
ladder
and
not
for
the
former.
C
I'm
wondering
whether
we
can
set
some
sort
of
timetable
for
both
parties
to
sit
down
and
talk
about
options
before
coming
back
to
the
council.
I
know
this
would
be
another
delay
and
it's
not
desirable
in
this
time
of
covet
19,
but
I'm
just
not.
I
don't
want
to
give
up
just
yet.
I
think
that
there
is
room
for
improvement
and
there
are
options
where
both
sides
can
actually
live
next
to
each
other.
D
I
was
going
to
go
to
our
city
attorney
on
that
very
question,
so.
O
So
there's
a
couple
of
things
to
consider.
First
of
all
is
leaf,
as
the
applicant
has
a
right
to
a
decision
again.
They've
been
working
and
processing
this
application
for
about
two
years
now,
I'm
looking
at
our
community
development
director
for
about
two
years
now
they
do
have
a
right
to
a
decision
by
the
city
council.
So
any
continuance
I
would
recommend
it
would
not
occur
unless,
unless
leaf,
actually
agreed
to
do
that.
The
second
thing
is
based
on
my
recollection,
from
listening
to
mr
burns.
O
Mr
burns
did
reach
out
to
the
elite
academy
and
did
try
to
work
out
a
solution
so
that
the
two
businesses
could
operate
together
and
I
believe
mr
harrison
responded
that
that
was
not
possible.
O
So
I'm
not
quite
sure
what
else
mr
burns
could
do
to
to
work
out
some
type
of
decision
or
some
type
of
agreement.
I'm
not
sure
if
mr
burns
is
on
the
phone,
but
I
would
just
I'm
not
sure
that
there
is
anything
else
that
he
can
talk
about,
because
he
did
talk
about
the
fact
that
he
actually
did
reach
out
to
the
elite
academy
to
try
to
work
out
a
solution
so
that
both
businesses
could
operate
next
to
each
other.
Cohesively.
D
Yeah,
I
must
say
that's
the
way
I
understand
it
as
well,
but
despite
their
best
efforts,
neither
party
has
been
able
to
come
to
any
kind
of
a
agreement
and
they're
in
front
of
us
tonight
to
make
the
decision-
and
I
have
to
agree
with
my
fellow
council
members-
it's
an
unenviable
place
to
be
in
because
both
businesses
are
legitimate
and
we've
wanted
a
medicinal
marijuana
facility
here
in
thousand
oaks,
primarily
for
humanitarian
reasons.
D
That's
what
we
all
prioritized
and
the
the
first
facility
that
we
agreed
to
was
based
primarily
on
the
location
that
they
showed
us
was
which
was
out
in
rancho
canejo
industrial
park
around
nothing,
and
that
was
very
appealing
to
all
of
us.
The
fact
that
it
was
not
around
anything
controversial
and
that
they
could
operate
out
there
kind
of
in
a
vacuum.
So
to
speak.
D
So
now
we
have
a
situation
where
we're
looking
at
a
location
that
is
certainly
not
in
a
vacuum.
It's
not
isolated!
There's
a
church!
There
there's
a
potential
youth
academy
and
some
other
uses,
and
so
it
puts
a
whole
different
light
on
the
issue.
Unfortunately,
I
will
say
that
our
cannabis
ordinance
does
give
us
the
right
to
protect
residents,
neighborhoods
businesses
from
negative
impacts,
and
I
think
a
lot
of
this
really
is
a
perception
issue.
I
have
no
doubt
that
leif
would
run
this
in
the
most
professional
manners
manner.
D
They
have
a
great
track
record
and-
and
I
also
completely
reject
the
notion
that
there
would
be
some
sort
of
a
conveyance
of
these
this
product
to
children.
I
I
just
don't
think
that's
going
to
happen
at
all.
I
think
the
real
problem
is
the
perception
issue
with
the
parents,
the
paying
customers
for
this
proposed
business.
That's
where
the
issue
would
lie
now
is
future
elite
academy,
a
sensitive
use?
Is
it
a
youth
center?
D
D
It's
a
it's
a
it's
a
tough
decision
and
but
I
think
we
have
to
make
it
tonight
unless
mr
burns
feels
that
there's
some
hope
that
further
negotiation
with
the
academy
will
lead
to
some
sort
of
a
understanding.
G
M
M
Is
it
working
to
work
out
a
truce,
a
matter
of
fact
it
was
mayor
adam
that
asked
us
the
third
time
to
try
and
make
a
truce
and
upon
his
prodding,
we
tried
again
and,
as
mr
harrison
stated
tonight,
he
doesn't
just.
He
just
doesn't
want
us
there,
and
I
know
that
you
know
in
my
heart.
I
know
the
reason
he
doesn't
want
us.
There
is
because
he
wants
our
space
he's
admitted
that
in
his
emails
his
partner
mccann
has
admitted
it
in
his
emails.
M
M
M
Your
counsel
is
that
this
location
is
hard
to
find
and
this
location
does
meet
all
the
criteria,
as
has
been
proven
by
city
staff
and
hdl,
and
we've
been
working
on
this
for
two
years
plus,
and
you
know
we
you're
you're.
You
know
for
lack
of
a
better
term,
putting
a
non-existent
future
business
up
against
us,
and
we've
been
working
on
this
for
two
years
and
mr
harrison
in
his
email.
M
It's
in
the
packet
april,
19th
9,
35
pm.
He
clearly
states.
He
says
we
do
not
need
the
space
next
door.
However,
it
would
be
great
to
have
as
we
are
as
we
are
growing
fast
and
the
communities
behind
us
in
a
big
way.
We
fully
expect
to
grow
incredibly
fast
and,
yes,
it
would
be
great
to
have
the
location
but
not
necessary
at
all
in
any
way.
Mr
burns,
so
he's
you
know,
he's
contradicting
himself
back
and
forth.
The
point
I'm
trying
to
make
to
the
council
is
we
we
feel
like.
We
are.
M
I
hope
that
you
go
with
the
staff
reports
finding
that.
D
G
H
I
agree
with
everybody
here
we
have
two
legitimate
businesses.
I
draw
a
distinction
between
the
13-year
history
of
leaf
that
we
have
seen
tonight
against
the
hypothetical
business.
I
think
that's
an
important
distinction.
H
I
also
just
don't
see
other
than
perception
how
physically
one
would
even
have
anything
to
do
with
the
other
one.
I
mean
I,
I
know
it's
a
hard
decision
and
we
recognize.
I
think
we've
said
that
these
are
two
legitimate
businesses
and
good
people
on
both
sides,
but
I
I
just
feel
that,
after
all,
that
leaf
has
been
through
to
do
this
and
given
what
mayor
pro
chamber
said
about
the
difficulty
of
locating
such
a
facility
as
opposed
to
the
type
of
use
this
elite
academy
would
be.
O
They
have
a
year
to
open
their
door
under
the
permit
that
we
give
them,
but
the
operations
agreement
is
for
a
five-year
period
of
time
so
long
as
they
comply
with
the
operations
agreement
and
abide
by
all
the
terms
of
the
operations
agreement
which
does
incorporate
our
municipal
code.
Then
they
will
have
the
right
to
operate
for
five
years.
J
G
H
G
F
D
D
All
right
so,
barring
any
violations
and
the
permit
would
be
renewed
and
they
could
operate
for
five
years.
H
Well,
it
seems
to
me
some
of
the
things
that
the
elite
academy
brought
up
if
they
happened
would
be
violations
of
the
terms
and
conditions
and
therefore,
in
my
thinking,
if
they
weren't
adhering
to
what
they're
agreeing
to
tonight,
which
is
people
come
in,
they
have
to
have
a
prescription,
they
get
it
in
a
sealed
bag.
They
take
it
out,
building,
isn't
marked.
There's
no
loitering.
H
The
people
on
the
elite
side
made
claims
that
were
counter
to
to
the
terms
and
conditions,
and
it
seems
to
me
they
were
to
do
the
things
that
speakers
said
tonight
worried
them.
We
would
have
ample
grounds
to
not
continue
it
when
we
had
our
hearing
a
year
from
now
I
mean
that's
my
opinion,
so
given
all
that
in
the
fact
that
I
think
they
deserve
at
least
a
year
to
see
if
they're
going
to
be
good
neighbors,
I
would
move
that
we
grant
the
usage.
D
All
right,
councilman
jones,
any
comments
to
the
motion.
O
Just
for
clarification,
council
member
jones,
the
recommendation
is
to
again
consider
approving
or
disapproving
the
new
location,
and,
if
it's
approved,
to
authorize
the
city
manager
to
execute
an
operations
agreement.
I'm
assuming.
That
would
also
be
part
of
your
motion.
H
D
All
right,
councilmember
jones
and
again
any
comments
to
the
motion.
D
All
right
well
I'll
just
say
for
my
from
my
standpoint
again,
I
I
go
back
to
the
location,
and
that
was
the
original
concern
two
years
ago
and
it's
still
a
concern
of
mine
right
now,
all
right,
very
good.
So
we're
going
to
ask
for
the
vote
and
it'll
be
a
voice
vote.
Ms
rodriguez,
would
you
please
call
for
that.
D
B
That
motion
fails
one
to
three
with
the
vote,
for
yes
is
councilmember
jones.
D
All
right
thanks,
ms
rodriguez,
well
long
hearing
and
appreciate
everybody's
participation
and
with
that
we're
going
to
move
on
to
our
next
issue.
D
A
A
A
D
B
D
E
D
Well,
not
really,
okay.
Well
then,
let's
keep
going
mayor
pro
tem.
S
D
Yeah
we're
okay
ed,
it
was
just
a
contin.
It
was
a
in
form,
a
formality,
a
continuance
but
you're
back
online
with
us
right.
D
J
J
The
state
of
california
approved
the
use
of
electronic
signatures
almost
20
years
ago
for
use
in
business
transactions,
including
for
government
agencies
in
2016.
The
state
also
approved
the
use
of
digital
signatures
early
last
year
in
an
effort
to
streamline
processes
and
provide
quicker
turnaround
time
to
accomplish
city
goals
of
operating
in
a
fiscally
responsible
manner.
The
city
council,
I
mean
sorry,
the
city,
clerk
and
city
attorney,
created
a
pilot
program
with
the
incredible
help
of
the
it
department
to
use
to
start
using
electronic
and
digital
signatures
for
some
city
documents.
J
J
Now
that
the
pilot
program
has
proved
successful,
it
is
time
to
codify
the
city's
use
of
electronic
signatures
for
city
business,
which
expands
the
scope
to
potentially
include
all
city
documents,
not
just
contracts.
As
we
recommend
expansion
of
the
signature
method,
we
want
to
codify
our
official
policy.
J
Electronic
signatures
have
been
widely
used
in
several
private
sector
industries.
Many
of
us
probably
have
some
experience
using
docusign
or
a
similar
platform
for
signing
real
estate
transactions
or
mortgage
documents.
The
court
system
also
allows
for
completely
electronic
filings,
including
briefs.
J
Recent
surveys
from
government
email
listserv
also
show
that
an
increasing
number
of
local
agencies
are
allowing
electronic
signatures.
The
benefits
are
many.
When
the
city
first
started
to
use
electronic
signatures
for
contracts,
we
received
positive
feedback
from
vendors
regarding
reduced
time
to
execute
contracts,
as
well
as
less
costs,
since
contracts
are
no
longer
required
to
be
overnighted
to
and
from
the
vendor
and
the
city
from
a
records
perspective.
J
The
quality
of
the
document
using
docusign
is
better
because
they
have
not
been
printed
signed,
scanned
emailed
and
point
and
printed
out
again,
there's
also
staff
time
savings,
because
documents
require
less
handling
and
manual
processing
such
as
printing
mailing
and
scanning
electronic
signatures
were
already
included
in
this.
On
the
city's
work
plan,
originally
staff
planned
a
slow
rollout
of
this
type
of
use.
However,
due
to
the
covet
19
emergency
and
the
stay-at-home
orders,
it
makes
sense
to
accelerate
the
implementation
of
electronic
signatures.
J
D
E
H
B
D
All
right,
very
good
that
passes
mr
giles
you're
going
to
talk
to
us
a
little
bit
about
the
rancho
petrero
community
equestrian
center
ad
hoc
committee.
T
The
council,
on
january
28th,
the
city
council
authorized
staff
to
begin
negotiations
for
a
permanent
operation
regarding
the
rancho
portero
community.
Equestrian
center
staff
has
met
with
the
capitol
facilities
committee
and
they
had
suggested
that
we
should
explore
with
canal
recreation
and
park
district,
the
opportunities
that
they
would
have
at
that
location
as
well.
T
We
have
done
that,
but
but
it
would
be
advantageous
for
us
to
have
a
council
ad
hoc
committee
appointed
both
to
advise
staff
through
the
negotiations
and
to
meet
with
the
subcommittee
of
the
crpd
to
determine
what
the
alternatives
and
options
are
and
and
to
to
conclude
these
negotiations
and
bring
back
a
plan
for
the
future
of
this
facility.
T
The
and
since
we
had
council,
member
engler
and
mayor
pro
tem
bill
de
la
pena
on
the
capitol
facilities
committee,
who
have
previously
heard
this
project
it.
If
the
council
so
desires,
it
may
be
advantageous
to
appoint
them
to
this
committee.
I'm
available
for
any
question
all.
D
Right
very
good:
well
and
then
it
looks
like
bob
and
claudia
are
the
most
qualified
to
lead
this
committee,
and
so,
if
it's
okay
with
you
two,
I
would
ask
for
a
motion
on
that
recommendation.
D
Well
that
helps
considering
it's
an
equestrian
committee.
Yes,
okay
and
I
think
I
heard
a
motion
from
council
member
jones-
that's
correct
all
right,
so
we
have
a
motion
to
appoint
bob
and
claudia
to
the
community
rancho
portrayal
community
equestrian
center
ad
hoc
committee.
If
you'd
call
for
the
vote,
please
council.
E
D
You
and,
of
course,
with
the
resignation
of
council
member
mccoy,
we
had
to
adjust
our
assignments
and
we
did
just
that
and
the
the
most
important
adjustments
I'll
just
notate
here
in
the
capital
facilities
committee.
D
So
with
that,
do
we
need
a
vote
on
that?
B
Mayor
pro
tem
bill
de
la
pena,
yes
and
mayor
adam
and.
D
D
F
Thank
you
so
much
mayor
adam.
We
had
slated
a
original
in
the
original
schedule,
a
council
meeting
for
next
tuesday
night,
the
28th
at
this
time.
It's
unlikely
that
we're
going
to
have
a
meeting
next
week
on
the
28th
just
given
just
given
the
way
the
business
is
flowing.
That
being
said,
we
do
have
two
meetings
that
we
will
be
keeping
on
calendar
for
the
month
of
may
on
the
12th
and
the
26th
of
may
and
additional
information
as
to
those
agenda
items
will
be
provided
and
forthcoming.
D
D
This
is
a
difficult
time
we're
gonna
get
through
it,
especially
with
the
great
work
that
you've
been
doing
to
help
us.
So
with
that
I
will
join
the
meeting.
We'll
have
two
in
may
and
we'll
see
you
then
thank
you.
