wouldn't be limited in size. one grower is proposing a plant that would produce over 21,000 pounds of pot per year. the measure has to go before the oakland city council one more time before it is approved. that is expected to pass, though, on that final hurdle. oakland has long been positioning itself, it seems, as kind of a center for marijuana in california potentially in the u.s. we'll take a look at that background coming up here in the next half hour, sydnie. >> we have also got a ballot measure in november, too. >> reporter: of course. >> to legalize it. so we'll wait to see what happens there. but obviously they are getting ready. anne, thank you very much, anne makovec in oakland. the man suspected in a shootout with the california highway patrol in oakland is expected to enter a plea this morning. 45-year-old byron williams of tuolumne county was formally charged yesterday, including trying to murder four chp officers. the officers had approached his

to the city, more than $200,000 in fees plus up to 8% of gross sales in taxes. now, the main concern expressed during this debate, unfair competition for small growers, those that helped build the industry to begin with. people wondering how they could compete with an operation such as what this next grower is planning. >> 5,000-square-foot. we are going to be looking at doing a vertical grow here, a vertical modular grow towards the palletized system, a high- end security facility with infrared cameras, motion sensors, on-theft guard and 24- hour monitoring of the facility. >> reporter: now this passage last night is the latest in a long line of pro pot moves by the city of oakland. it was the first to regulate medical marijuana dispensaries. there is oaksterdam university, an entire city district dedicated to the marijuana trade. oakland allowed one of the first large-scale retail centers and was the first to

levy a special tax on marijuana. and, of course, there is that ballot measure coming up in november that could tax and regulate marijuana for recreational use. and this move would certainly put oakland in the running to become a center for making a lot of money off of that trade if that comes to fruition. john? >> what did you call it the silicon valley of pot growing? >> reporter: silicon valley of cannabis. you can throw in any euphemism there. >> thank you, anne makovec in oakland this morning. 5:34. the man suspected in a shootout with california highway patrol officers in oakland is expected to enter a plea this morning. 45-year-old byron williams of tuolumne county was formally charged yesterday. the gunfire began saturday night as officers approached his truck after pulling him over on interstate 580. police now say williams was drunk and was rambling about starting a revolution. >> we learned that he was on his way on saturday night to
