Attachment 3 - Public Comment1-15-22
Dear Town Council,
The LGCA is writing to you to express our recommendation regarding Agenda item #10 – Cannabis
Consultant Services.
Recommendation
We recommend not to proceed with spending $50,000 to retain a consultant to perform a cannabis
fiscal analysis given 60% of the respondents to the Town’s survey opposed/strongly opposed such a
measure (see attached survey result). When deducting those opposed from those supporting, this leaves
a net negative percentage of 22%.
Given this very strong anti-cannabis sentiment, the Town Council should expect a highly contested
election if a Cannabis Sales Tax Initiative is placed on the ballot. It would require the approval of voters
to impose any sales tax. Such an overwhelming negative level strongly suggests that a cannabis sales
tax initiative would lose by a very large margin. Spending the public’s money for a fiscal analysis of a
cannabis sale tax measure, which is highly likely to be rejected by voters, is a waste of public funds.
Background
It is important to remember the suggestion to examine the commercial sale of cannabis did not arise
from the public during the Council Priority Setting Session. In fact, of the 175 suggestions for new
priorities submitted by the public as part of last year’s Priority Setting Survey (see attached), no one
from the public put forth a suggestion to change the municipal code to allow for the commercial sale of
cannabis.
This work stream was put forth by the then Town Attorney as part of his 2021 priorities. A Commercial
Cannabis Operations and Facilities Ordinance was listed as #7 on the Town Attorney’s recommended list
of municipal codes that “needed updates”. The stated reason for pursuing this workstream was solely
for the additional sales tax revenue that could be levied on the commercial sale of cannabis. To further
justify the workstream, the Town Manager noted that the priority would be “consistent with the council
priority of Prudent Financial Management”. Based on the Town Attorney’s recommendation, Council
then directed Staff to seek public opinion on this issue. The public has clearly spoken – they are
strongly opposed.
Discussion
Given the survey results, we are bewildered by the Staff’s recommendation to spend $50,000 to hire a
consultant. The notion of performing a fiscal analysis of cannabis sales taxes is doubly troubling at this
time given the tremendous uncertainty with respect to the tax and regulatory framework that has been
introduced in Governor Newsom’s budget proposal. In his proposal, he states that he, “supports
cannabis tax reform and plans to work with the Legislature to make modifications to California's
cannabis tax policy to help stabilize the market.” These modifications are widely understood to mean a
significant reduction in cannabis taxation, which would make a fiscal analysis at this time premature at
best, and probably meaningless in the final analysis.
ATTACHMENT 3
If the Town truly has $50,000 available to spend, the LGCA recommends that this money be spent on
hiring a consultant to do a fiscal impact analysis (FIA) of the 2040 General Plan. The LGCA survey of 400
voters in Los Gatos regarding the draft 2040 General Plan shows 87% support/strongly support a FIA
(see attached). The net support for a FIA is an overwhelming positive 78% compared to a negative 22%
on the commercial sale of cannabis.
The LCGA has repeatedly made the recommendation to Staff to complete a FIA of the 2040 General Plan
prior to adoption. Many cities in California routinely perform a FIA as part of the general plan approval
process to fully inform the Town Council and public of the revenue, expenditure and capital investment
impacts flowing from the adoption of a 20-year plan. Our recommendation has been repeatedly
rejected, citing the lack of funding for a FIA. We believe the Town cannot afford not to do such an
analysis, especially given that the draft 2040 General Plan calls for a 30% growth in the Town’s
population.
Conclusion
We respectfully ask the Council to not proceed with the Staff recommendation and instead instruct the
Staff to retain a consultant to perform a FIA for the 2040 General Plan. This is a much higher use of
public funds and would greatly benefit the public in understanding the fiscal impact of the draft 2040
General Plan.
Thank you for your consideration.

There is very strong support for a fiscal impact analysis and putting the plan to a vote. Locating multi-family housing near jobs
and transit is popular, but all elements related to housing are divisive.

EXTERNAL SENDER
Dear Los Gatos Town Council,
I am a 21 year old Los Gatos resident, and I’m in favor of allowing cannabis dispensaries in Los Gatos.
I would like there to be a dispensary in town because I prefer being able to walk or drive short distances to do my errands, and I can get
most of what I need in town, but cannabis is one of the few things I can’t get. Currently if I want to purchase cannabis, I would usually
use delivery services, but if there was a dispensary in town, I wouldn’t have to do that. I’m sure there are many other Los Gatos residents
like me who would want to be able to travel a shorter distance or not have to use delivery services to purchase cannabis.
I saw the results from the survey and would like to provide my point of view on some of the comments people left on the survey against
allowing dispensaries in town.
For the people concerned about smell:
I have been to the Airfield Supply dispensary in San Jose. While there is some smell of cannabis at this location, this would not be the
case if a retail only dispensary opened in Los Gatos, as everything in the retail area is fully sealed and there is no consumption allowed on
the property. All of the smell present at this location is from the cultivation.
In terms of concerns about people smoking in town and causing there to be a smell in town from that, there is already a no smoking law
in place that applies to marijuana as well as other things like cigarettes.
Additionally, most residents who want to use marijuana are already getting it from other cities and then using it at home, so adding a
dispensary to Los Gatos will probably not change how much cannabis is consumed in Los Gatos by very much. The biggest noticeable
change to the town would likely just be more tax dollars coming in.
For the people concerned about it influencing youth:
It would be unlikely for the presence of a dispensary in town to cause middle and high school students to start using marijuana. I attended
both Fisher Middle School and Los Gatos High School and can say that students know what weed is and if they want it they will find a
way to get it, regardless of there being a dispensary in town or not.
Also, students who consume weed are probably not getting it from dispensaries. First of all, just to enter the Airfield dispensary, you have
to show your ID and it gets scanned. Then, inside, all the products are behind the counter or secured in a way that they can’t be
shoplifted. In order to buy any products you have to show your ID again. This means it’s very difficult for someone underage to even step
foot in a dispensary, let alone purchase or steal anything.
Another comment I saw on the survey was that a dispensary should not be allowed in areas where youths hang out, giving 7-11 as an
example. While I don’t have a strong opinion either way on this point, I would like to point out that 7-11 sells alcohol and alcohol is very
accessible all throughout Los Gatos (7-11, bars, restaurants, grocery stores, etc.). Unlike a dispensary where you have to show your ID to
enter and all the products are behind the counter, places like 7-11 and Safeway have alcohol out in the aisles and anyone can enter theses
stores, meaning it’s very easy for teens to steal or purchase alcohol with a fake ID (because ID checks for purchasing alcohol are less
intensive than for purchasing cannabis at a dispensary).
Additionally, when comparing the impacts of alcohol versus marijuana on people, alcohol is much more damaging to the body
(especially if the marijuana is consumed in an edible form rather than smoke). Alcohol is also much more addictive than marijuana and
an overdose on alcohol can lead to death whereas consuming too much marijuana will not directly result in death.
My point here is that alcohol is much more dangerous for youth to be consuming than marijuana, and if a dispensary opened in town it
would be way more regulated than alcohol is in this town. In my opinion, this makes the concerns about the presence of a dispensary in
town negatively impacting youth practically irrelevant.
I also saw concerns in the survey comments that a dispensary would not be “classy” and would not fit the “Los Gatos culture.” To this, I
go back to my points about alcohol. If you walk through downtown Los Gatos you’ll see bars, wine tasting rooms, and restaurants
advertising alcohol. This displays the “culture” of Los Gatos as very alcohol centric. I’m not against having places that serve alcohol in
town, but I don’t see how pushing drinking culture is any better than allowing a dispensary in town. Especially since a dispensary would
only be for the sale of cannabis and not the consumption and would be less “in your face” than the places selling alcohol, I don’t thinkthe presence of a dispensary would strongly impact the culture of the town.
I think the negative thoughts some people have towards marijuana and dispensaries likely come from misconceptions. I would encourage
people who are against the opening of a dispensary to look into what a dispensary actually looks like and how it operates (maybe even go
see one in person) and research the impacts of marijuana versus alcohol on a person’s body before forming a decision on whether or not
to allow a dispensary in town.

Dear Sirs/Madames,
As a 34 year resident of Los Gatos, a downtown resident and a past President & Committee
member of CASA I vote NO to allowing a Marijuana Dispensary in our town.
How is it possible to support a long term, local & ‘home grown’ organization like CASA ( which
the town has wholeheartedly endorsed & supported since its inception) and at the same time
being in a drug dispensary?
Is this only about the money? There MUST be another way.
