as Annexation Area No.1 0 (Summerly).
Page 6 City Council Meeting Minutes - February 28, 2006
Mayor Magee opened the public hearing at 7:18 p.m.
City Manager Brady indicated that Administrative Services Director Pressey
would be presenting the item. He requested that the City Attorney
announce the notice of the item.
City Attorney Leibold announced that the notice had been published in
accordance with the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 and proof of
publication was on file in the City Clerk's office.
Administrative Services Director Pressey gave an in-depth overview of the
item. He noted that there were 464 street lights in this development. He
indicated that the annual estimated cost was $86,065. He commented that
each year Council had the opportunity to approve up to a 2% increase if
needed; and any remaining balance of unused monies would roll forward to
the next year.
Mr. Pressey indicated that Councilmember Buckley had questioned the
different maps for the three formations. He commented that the map in
question was on Agenda Item No. 23, page 97 of 157. He noted the map
included a site that was excluded from that district. He deferred to Dennis
Anderson to explain the difference in the maps.
Dennis Anderson, Harris & Associates, explained that the Landscape and
Lighting District was governed by a different set of laws and codes
including the State Constitution. He indicated that under special assessment
district proceedings, any property that would benefit from the improvements
to be funded must be included in the district; therefore that boundary
governed by those properties that benefit were substantially different than
the other two annexations. He also commented that the Police and Fire
District included all commercial and residential property.
Mr. Anderson commented that the Bond District areas were excluded at the
request of the developer; and normally they do not tax parks or school site
properties since the City was prohibited by the Mello-Roos Act.
Administrative Services Director Pressey explained that the map could not
change on Item No. 21. He noted that Council had a choice to make a
motion to start over on Item No. 22 and direct staff to start over by making
Page 7 City Council Meeting Minutes - February 28, 2006
the recommended change of the boundary map to exclude the area in the
middle which was similar to Item No. 23.
Mayor Magee requested testimony from the public. He inquired if there was
anyone wishing to speak in favor or against the annexation. He also
inquired if there was anyone that wished to speak at all.
Councilmember Buckley explained that when Laing's back basin project
was originally approved there was a school site in the center, which was
exempt from the CFD for facilities. He indicated that the discussion was
now about the LLMD and the Police and Fire CFD which were non-exempt.
He indicated that he was concerned about preapproving. He further
commented that schools and parks did not pay LLMD and Police and Fire.
He questioned why they would be considered as part of the District. He
indicated that it was different from other tracts because it could change if the
school did not go in. He indicated that the developer could elect to build
homes in that area. Councilmember Buckley requested clarification on if
anything that benefited from the LLMD had to be in the LLMD even if it did
not pay into the LLMD.
Mr. Anderson explained that under State Constitution, Article 13, they were
required to assess public properties for special assessments. Mr. Anderson
further explained that they would assign an assessment to schools, public
properties, etc to the LLMD; but whether or not they paid was the question.
Councilmember Buckley inquired what would happen if it turned out to be
residential and not public properties; and if that would impact everyone
else's LLMD fee.
Mr. Anderson commented that it would not. He further explained that
Council was approving an assessment rate for public property and residential
property.
Mayor Pro Tern Schiffner commented that he understood that there would be
no difference and it would not cause any problems the way it was presently
done.
Page 8 City Council Meeting Minutes - February 28, 2006
MOVED BY SCHIFFNER, SECONDED BY HICKMAN TO ADOPT
RESOLUTION NO. 2006-25, APPROVING THE ANNEXATION OF
TERRITORY AND THE LEVY OF ASSESSMENTS FOR LAKE
ELSINORE LANDSCAPE AND STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT NO.1.
Mayor Magee inquired if there were any property owners subject to the
proposed assessments who wished to file a written protest. Mayor Magee
closed the public hearing at 7:28 p.m.
Mayor Magee directed City Clerk Ray to tabulate the ballots and announce
if a majority protest had been made.
City Clerk Ray tabulated the ballots and announced that there was no
majority protest.
THE FOREGOING MOTION CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.
22. Resolution determining the validity of prior proceedings relating to
annexation of property into City of Lake Elsinore Community Facilities
District No. 2003-1 (Law Enforcement, Fire and Paramedic Services); Call a
Special Election; canvas election results; authorizing levy of Special Taxes
for CFD 2003-1 Annexation Area No. 17 (Summerly).
Mayor Magee opened the public hearing at 7:29 p.m.
City Manager Brady indicated that Administrative Services Director Pressey
would be presenting the item. He requested that the City Attorney announce
the notice of the item.
City Attorney Leibold announced that the notice had been published in
accordance with the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 and
proof of publication was on file in the City Clerk's office.
Administrative Services Director Pressey gave an in-depth overview of the
item. He indicated that it would pay for a portion of the increase in the
Police, Fire and Paramedic cost in the City. Each property owner would be
assessed $318 per home in the Laing Development in which they were
building 1,484 single family homes.
Page 9 City Council Meeting Minutes - February 28, 2006
Mayor Magee requested testimony from the public. He inquired if there was
anyone wishing to speak in favor or against the district formation. He also
inquired if there was anyone that wished to speak at all.
Councilmember Buckley commented that the facilities CFD should match
the Police and Fire CFD. Councilmember Buckley clarified that the golf
course did not have to be included in the LLMD or the Police and Fire CFD.
Mr. Anderson confirmed and commented that in their analysis the golf
course did not benefit from the improvements.
MOVED BY BUCKLEY NOT TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2006-26
AND DIRECT STAFF TO REDO THE ITEM SO THE MAPS MATCHED.
Councilmember Hickman questioned what had to be changed.
Administrative Services Director Pressey commented that Councilmember
Buckley was proposing to exclude the area that was identified for a park and
school site.
Councilmember Hickman questioned if there were homes allocated when
staff came up with the figures.
Mr. Pressey confirmed he did not. He explained that if it came back and the
developer wanted to put in homes under this method there would not be any
annexation since the homes would get assessed and no changes would need
to be made. He indicated that they were excluded the site would be annexed
in later.
Councilmember Hickman asked Mr. Pressey his preference.
Mr. Pressey commented that staff was consistent with all 16 other
annexations. He further commented that he felt it was appropriate to move
forward, although he did understand Councilmember Buckley's concerns.
Mayor Magee clarified that if the school was not built on the site and more
homes were approved at a later date, the assessment district for public safety
would already be in place and there would be no need to bring the item back
to Council.
Page 10 City Council Meeting Minutes - February 28, 2006
Mr. Pressey confirmed.
City Treasurer Weber inquired where the money would come from to build
the infrastructure for those homes if the school was not built and the houses
were.
Mr. Anderson indicated that the infrastructure would already be placed.
City Treasurer Weber commented that the property was currently set up as a
possible school site which meant the developer would not pay anything; and
allowed the developer to build houses later and not pay any back taxes on
the open land. He indicated that it was not fair to the other homeowners.
Mayor Pro Tern Schiffner made a substitute motion.
MOVED BY SCHIFFNER, SECONDED BY KELLEY TO ADOPT
RESOLUTION NO. 2006-26, DETERMINING THE VALIDITY OF PRIOR
PROCEEDINGS.
Councilmember Hickman commented that a school would need to be built in
that area. He indicated that there would be too many homes and children in
that area. He indicated that it would not make sense for them to not want to
build a school.
Councilmember Buckley's motion failed for lack of a second.
Mayor Magee inquired if there were any property owners subject to the
proposed special taxes who wished to file a written protest. Mayor Magee
closed the public hearing at 7:40 p.m.

33. Adoption of Ordinance prohibiting medical marijuana dispensaries in the
City of Lake Elsinore.
Mayor Magee introduced the item and deferred to City Manager Brady.
City Manager Brady gave a brief overview of the item and deferred to Police
Chief Fetherolf for the presentation.
Police Chief Feterholf gave some background on the item. He indicated that
he had requested this ordinance which was prepared by the City Attorney's
Office. He explained that the United States Code 841, known as the Control
Substances Act, specifically prohibited the use and/or distribution of
marijuana. He commented that all states had passed laws in conformance
with federal law regarding the prohibition of the possession, sale, usage, etc.
of marijuana. He indicated that police officers make arrests based on state
laws, which conformed with the federal law prohibiting the use of
marijuana. He commented that in 1996, voters of the State of California
passed Proposition 215 known as the Compassionate Use Act of 1996. He
noted that Act permitted the possession of small amounts and growing small
amounts of marijuana under very specific circumstances for persons deemed
medically needy by a qualified physician to possess and use marijuana. He
further explained that in 2004 the California Senate passed Senate Bill 420
called the Medical Marijuana Program. He indicated that the problem
presented by law enforcement was a federal law that prohibited the use of
marijuana and state law that permitted the use of marijuana. He indicated
that California police officers have a duty to uphold the law of the City,
County, State and the Federal Government. He commented that in a
decision by the Supreme Court in Raich v. Gonzales, they addressed the
Page 25 City Council Meeting Minutes - February 28, 2006
issue and confirmed that the Controlled Substances Act did not contain a
Compassionate Use exemption; and therefore was still a violation of federal
law to possess or distribute marijuana even for medical purposes. He
commented that marijuana dispensaries were popping up all around the
State. He indicated that the County of Riverside started issuing cards to
individuals that qualified under state law to be able to purchase and possess
the small amounts. He indicated that a qualified individual could possess 8
ounces of dry marijuana and grow 6 mature plants or 12 immature plants.
He indicated that the County of Riverside had experienced some problems
associated with medical marijuana dispensaries. He noted his
recommendation to the City Council. He also noted some land use issues
that involved medical marijuana and deferred to City Attorney Leibold.
City Attorney Leibold explained that the proposed Ordinance focused on the
City's police power and land use zoning authority. She noted that the intent
of the Ordinance was not to infringe upon the rights provided under state law
or to conflict with areas of state law. She indicated that by the City issuing
any permit for a dispensary could be foreseen as aiding and abiding a federal
crime. She commented that the City Council and City staff had received
numerous emails regarding the issue; and noted that one of their concerns
was that the City could not and should not regulate or attempt to regulate in
a manner that was inconsistent and conflicted with state law.
City Attorney Leibold commented that she had discussed the issue with
Police Chief Fetherolf and that they proposed the addition of the following
sentence into Section 3 - "Nothing in this Chapter 17.69 shall be interpreted
or enforced in a manner that conflicts with applicable state law."
Ron LaPere, 16867 Wells Street, waived is request to speak on the item.
David Travers, 15091 Joy Street, was not present at the time he was called
forward to speak.
Lavonne Victor, 45826 Palimetto Way, commented that she was a resident
of Riverside County. She noted that she understood the concerns of law
enforcement, states and cities concerning that law. She indicated that there
was a lot of improvements that needed to be made in the Health Department
of Health Agencies. She indicated that she had also spoken on panels
regarding drug addiction and the destruction it did to families. She indicated
Page 26 City Council Meeting Minutes - February 28, 2006
that her doctor's recommendation for the use of cannabis has allowed her to
get rid of a lot of chemicals prescribed to her that had affected her body.
She noted there was a difference of opinions surrounding medical marijuana.
She noted California Constitution Section 3.5, Article 3.
Martin Victor, 45026 Palmetto Way, provided Council with a copy of
Temecula's ordinance regarding medical marijuana dispensaries. He
commented that the Supreme Court never said that California's law was
unconstitutional. He indicated that the state law did not go into dispensaries,
but did address cooperatives and collectives. He indicated that in all the
places they had traveled, there had only been one individual that he
encountered that was against cooperative and collectives. He commented
that it worked and it helped sick people. He noted that there was a
dispensary in Palm Desert and there was not anyone in the neighborhood
that had a problem with the facility. He noted that before the State of
California has issued identification cards, there was only a recommendation
from a physician.
Douglas Lanphere, Lake Elsinore, commented that he was an advocate for
medical marijuana patients. He indicated that he participated with the
Riverside County Department of Social Services in the implementation of
Senate Bill 420, codified into Health & Safety Code section 11362.775. He
indicated that the County started issuing medical marijuana ID cards on
December 1 st, 2005. He noted the rights of patients that were issued the ID
cards. He noted the differences between dispensaries and collective and
cooperative cultivation. He noted that proposed Ordinance 1173, page 3,
read "Cooperative commonly known as medically marijuana dispensaries".
He indicated that he objected to the grouping of cooperatives with
dispensaries. He requested that Council amend the findings of fact to reflect
the clarification. He noted that proposed Ordinance 1173 defined locations
as "Any facility or location where medical marijuana is made available to
and/or distributed by one of the following: primary caregiver, qualified
patient or a patient with an identification card." He indicated that the
description was too vague.
Stephen Roper, 15150 Grand Ave, commented that he was a resident as well
as a prescribed marijuana user. He commented that the issue was about
living, not about the law.
Page 27 City Council Meeting Minutes - February 28, 2006
David Travers, 15081 Joy Street, apologized for being absent earlier and
thanked the Mayor for allowing him to address Council. He noted he was a
marijuana patient. He noted that he had to drive to Palm Springs for his
medication. He indicated that Police Chief Fetherolf believed that from a
law enforcement stand point, the Federal Government superceded local and
state laws. He indicated that if that was the case, then there were a lot of
laws they were forgetting to enforce. He indicated that marijuana patients
should not have to travel that far.
City Attorney Leibold commented that Mr. Lanphere did correctly speak
from the Health & Safety Code. She commented that the proposed language
recognizing that it was not the intent of the proposed ordinance to be
interpreted or enforced in a manner that it was inconsistent and conflicted
with state law. She indicated that she would not object to another
clarification. She noted in the second recital with the language of opening
businesses or cooperatives commonly known as medical marijuana
dispensaries. She noted there would be a deletion of the words "or
cooperatives" to avoid ambiguity, so the Ordinance read "Whereas, the Act
does not require or provide for the opening of businesses commonly known
as Medical Marijuana Dispensaries."
Mayor Magee inquired if that was consistent with the goal of Police Chief
Fetherolf.
Police Chief Fetherolf confirmed.
Councilmember Kelley inquired if there were any dispensaries within the
City.
Police Chief Fetherolf commented that there were none.
Councilmember Kelley inquired if patients did not go to a dispensary, where
would they go.
Police Chief Fetherolf commented that they would be allowed to grow it in
the legal amounts authorized by state law in their backyard.
City Attorney Leibold indicated that there were other exempted facilities
that fit within the definition.

Councilmember Buckley questioned using paragraph C of the Temecula
Ordinance.
City Attorney Leibold commented that the Temecula Ordinance was an
interim urgency ordinance.
Councilmember Buckley questioned why the item was not presented to the
PSAC.
Police Chief Fetherolf explained that it was an oversight and a sense of
urgency due to the problems around the County regarding medical
marijuana. He indicated that it was not intentional.
Mayor Pro Tern Schiffner commented that he could not speak for or against
the usage of medical marijuana. He indicated that in order to be consistent
there needed to be an ordinance. He indicated that he would vote in favor of
the Ordinance.
Councilmember Hickman clarified the purpose of the Ordinance. He
indicated that the Council and staff were trying to prohibit the establishment
of dispensaries of medical marijuana.
Mayor Magee clarified that section 17.69.010 of the Temecula ordinance
provided by Mr. Victor would be used in the Lake Elsinore Ordinance; and
amended to add Item c to read "no conflict with state law, this ordinance
shall in no way limit the right to possess, use or cultivate marijuana for
medical purposes authorized by the laws of the State of California."
