2. Approve a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Exemption Determination (Attachment A).
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City’s Municipal Code requires periodic updates to ensure consistency between City policies and State law, to improve clarity, and to better serve the public. As an effort to improve the readability and relevancy of the Brea City Code (“Code”), the City has implemented an on-going work program in 2023 to continually update the Code on a regular basis. Since the last omnibus update in March 2024, the City continued with the work program and identified several provisions of the Code that require revisions due to recent shifts in policy trends, new State laws, and new regulations. The main goals for this omnibus amendment are to ensure consistency with recent state law, and modernization of the Code to align with best planning practices. If approved, the proposed amendments will be adopted as part of an “omnibus” ordinance, which includes updates to 30 chapters of Title 18 and 20 of the Code.
On March 4, 2025, the City Council, on a 5-0 vote, introduced Ordinance No. 1254 for the proposed ZOTA. The comprehensive staff report package from the March 4, 2025 City Council meeting can be accessed from the following link:

COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
On January 28, 2025, the Planning Commission, on 5-0 vote, approved a resolution recommending approval of the Project with a direction for staff to add clarification on what constitutes as landscaping.
FISCAL IMPACT/SUMMARY

CONSENT CALENDAR Item: 4C.
TO
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM
Kristin Griffith, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute an Agreement between the HOPE Center and the Cities of Brea, Buena Park, Fullerton, and Placentia for the hiring of a Street Outreach Case Manager specializing in MedicationAssisted Treatment for a three-year term using the respective cities’ National Opioid Settlement (NOS) Funds; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute an Agreement with Project Youth OC for the expansion of their ShortStop and Stop Short of Addiction Program in the City of Brea for a three-year term using the NOS Funds; and
3. Approve the appropriation of NOS Funds for the current Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget to begin purchasing supplies for opioid use prevention efforts; and
4. Approve the appropriation of NOS Funds for Fiscal Year 2025-27 budget.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The National Opioid Settlement (NOS) Funds are allocated to states for opioid crisis prevention, treatment, and harm reduction. The State of California (CA) established the CA Subdivision Fund to provide funds to cities and counties (Participating Subdivisions) that elected to participate in these settlements. Shortly after, CA designated the CA Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) to oversee these funds by monitoring the Participating Subdivisions for spending compliance and ensuring proper annual reporting. To ensure compliance, Participating Subdivisions must adhere to specific spending guidelines outlined in Exhibit E of the National Settlement Agreements and/or the High Impact Abatement Activities (HIAA) defined by DHCS (Attachment A). Further, pursuant to California State Subdivision Agreements, no less than 50% of the funds received by a Participating Subdivision in each calendar year must be used for one or more of the High Impact Abatement Activities listed in Attachment A of this staff report.
In 2021, the City of Brea elected to participate in the National Opioid Settlements as a Participating Subdivision of the State of California, securing approximately $660,000 in funds since 2022, with $140,000 expended on eligible activities to-date. An additional three different settlements are expected from Kroger, the Sackler Family and Purdue Pharma. Future allocations will continue annually through 2038, with a deadline to expend funds by 2043.
Current Allocations for the City of Brea To-Date
Settlement Amount Received
Mallinckrodt $7,771.61
Janssen $132,229.32
Distributors $215,799.32
Pharmacies $291,204.99
McKinsey $12,787.95
Total $659,793.19
The City has identified key areas for fund utilization, including the hiring of a full-time Community Services Specialist at the Brea Resource Center, approved by City Council in 2023. This position focuses on data collection, research, and executing efforts to educate and reduce opioid use among vulnerable populations (HIAA #3).
To strategically allocate remaining settlement funds, staff have identified and prioritized key initiatives for these data-driven efforts including, Naloxone training and distribution, an educational social media campaign, a subpage on our City website with resources, educational seminars and informational booths, as well partnerships with the HOPE Center of Orange County (HOPE Center) and Project Youth OC.
HOPE Center of OC
Based on a local Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) clinic data from KCS Clinic, Brea proposes entering into an agreement (Attachment B) with the HOPE Center of OC and the Cities of Buena Park, Fullerton, and Placentia to collectively fund a Street Outreach Case Manager. This specialist will focus on MAT services, Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), and Substance Use Disorder (SUD) services to better address the needs of vulnerable populations in Brea.
From February 2024 through August 2024, Brea recorded 9 unsheltered and 10 sheltered individuals receiving MAT services at KCS Clinic. This data serves as the basis for calculating Brea’s contribution to the HOPE Center. Using this methodology, Brea’s share will be approximately $40,000 per fiscal year, while the total agreement will amount to approximately $250,000 per fiscal year for three years. This partnership is a data-driven initiative aligned with the HIAA guidelines set by DHCS and the parameters set in the Settlement Agreements. The initiative specifically supports vulnerable populations, including sheltered and unsheltered individuals, by providing targeted interventions such as MAT and wraparound support services, as described under HIAA guidelines.
Additional cities may join the initiative through an amendment, subject to the consensus of all participating cities.
If new cities opt in, the funding formula will be recalculated, potentially reducing Brea’s financial contribution. The formula will be updated annually at the start of each fiscal year based on data collected and provided by the HOPE Center. Consequently, depending on future data, Brea’s contribution may fluctuate between the current estimate and a maximum of approximately $60,000.
To ensure adequate funding, staff recommends that the Council appropriate $60,000 for the HOPE Center to the professional services account within the NOS funds budget unit for FY 25-26 and FY 26-27. The HOPE Center was selected as a funding recipient due to its existing homeless outreach efforts within the City of Brea, making it wellpositioned to expand its services to address opioid-related challenges amongst the unsheltered population.
Project Youth OC
Staff is proposing the City of Brea enter into an agreement (Attachment C) with Project Youth OC (PYOC) to bring their proven diversion programs to Brea. PYOC is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering at-risk youth through intervention programs that prevent substance abuse and delinquency. Their services align with the HIAA (HIAA #5: Interventions to prevent drug addiction in vulnerable youth) guidelines established by DHCS and meet the criteria outlined in Exhibit E of the National Opioid Settlement Agreements. By expanding into Brea, PYOC will implement its evidence-based Shortstop and Stop Short of Addiction programs, which are designed to reduce youth involvement in substance abuse and entering the criminal justice system.
Through this expansion, Project Youth OC will work closely with the Community Services Specialist at the Brea Resource Center, collaborating with the School Resource Officer already embedded in the Brea Olinda Unified School District and other local organizations to identify at-risk youth and provide intervention and prevention services for them and their families. Over the three-year grant term, PYOC will serve 100 youth and 150 parents/caregivers annually, with a total of 750 unduplicated clients receiving services.
This initiative will cost approximately $85,000 per year with a total cost of $252,650 over the three-year agreement term. All funding will come from NOS funds, so there will be no impact on the General Fund. PYOC’s proven programs have demonstrated success in reducing youth recidivism and substance abuse, making them a reliable partner for effectively addressing these issues in Brea. With expertise in working with vulnerable populations, PYOC brings a specialized skillset that aligns with Brea’s goals for youth prevention and early intervention.
Appropriating Funds for Current Fiscal Year 2024-25 Budget The City of Brea is already making strides in addressing the opioid crisis through education, harm reduction, and community outreach. As part of these efforts, staff is requesting the Council appropriate funds within the existing NOS funds budget (233), in specified accounts as outlined in the table below for the current Fiscal Year 2024-25.
Fiscal Year 2024-25 Proposed Budget
Account No. Account Title Amount CA Opioid Settlement Fund Allowable Expense Category
4111 Salary and Wages $121,776.00 HIAA #5, Schedule A, and Schedule B
TOTAL SALARY AND WAGES: $121,776.00

These funds will be used to purchase necessary supplies and support the launch of an educational campaign focused on opioid awareness and prevention. Additionally, this funding will enable the distribution of naloxone to community members, a critical tool in preventing opioid overdose deaths. According to data provided by the County of Orange, from the California Comprehensive Death File, the City of Brea had an opioid overdose mortality total rate of eighteen people between the years of 2021 and 2023. After looking at opioid overdose mortality trends across the country, it can be anticipated that these proactive measures will help lay the groundwork for a comprehensive response to the opioid crisis.
Fiscal Year 2025-27 Proposed Budget
City staff request that the NOS funds budget for Fiscal Year 2025-27 be appropriated as outlined in the table below to support the City’s ongoing efforts to mitigate and address the opioid epidemic at the local level. The proposed budget includes funding for salaries and wages to offset costs associated with the planning, leadership, and coordination of NOS initiatives. Specifically, this covers the Community Services Specialist, Management Analyst – City Manager’s Office, Community Services Supervisor and Manager, and the Senior Management Analyst from the Finance Department.
Additionally, the budget allocates a portion of salary funds for the School Resource Officer to provide information and assistance to PYOC. It also includes an operating budget for necessary supplies to sustain the City of Brea’s opioid use prevention and intervention efforts. This includes funding for Professional Services Agreements with PYOC and the HOPE Center to enhance the City's outreach and support initiatives.

CALIFORNIA OPIOID SETTLEMENTS
Allowable Expenditures
On July 21, 2021, California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced the final settlement agreements with prescription opioid manufacturer Janssen Pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical distributors McKesson, Cardinal Health, and AmerisourceBergen (the Distributors). These were the first of several opioid settlements that will provide substantial funds for the remediation of the opioid crisis in California.
This document is intended to provide guidance for California’s cities and counties (otherwise known as Participating Subdivisions) that receive funds from the California Abatement Accounts Fund through current and future California Opioid Settlements.1 This resource includes three sections:
» Section 1: Use of California (CA) Abatement Accounts Fund » Section 2: High Impact Abatement Activities (HIAA)
» Section 3: List of Opioid Remediation Uses (Exhibit E) – Core Strategies and Approved Uses
Questions about the applicability of strategies to expend funds received from the CA Abatement Accounts Fund can be directed to DHCS at [email protected]. 1 Opioid settlements in this instance refers to final and proposed agreements between the State of California and opioid distributors and manufacturers: Janssen Pharmaceuticals and Johnson & Johnson (collectively “Janssen”); McKesson, Cardinal Health, and AmerisourceBergen (collectively, Distributors); Teva; Allergan; and pharmacies Walgreens, Walmart, and CVS (collectively, The Pharmacies), as well as any future opioid settlement agreements which follow the structure of these agreements.

Section 1: Use of California (CA) Abatement Accounts
Fund
Funds from the California Opioid Settlements are intended to support opioid remediation activities. As defined in the National Opioid Settlement Agreements, opioid remediation is the “care, treatment, and other programs and expenditures designed to (1) address the misuse and abuse of opioid products, (2) treat or mitigate opioid use or related disorders, or (3) mitigate other alleged effects of, including on those injured as a result of, the opioid crisis.”
Pursuant to the California State-Subdivision Agreements, funds from the CA Abatement Accounts Fund must be used for opioid remediation activities in one or more of the areas described in Exhibit E of the National Opioid Settlement Agreements. Section 3 of this document provides a copy of Exhibit E, which is divided into Schedule A and Schedule B strategies. Schedule A provides a list of core opioid remediation strategies identified through the National Opioid Settlements, while Schedule B provides a list of additional opioid remediation strategies identified through the settlements.
Pursuant to the National Opioid Settlement Agreements, funds from the CA Abatement Accounts Fund may also be used to support reasonable related administrative expenses for opioid remediation activities.
Section 2: High Impact Abatement Activities (HIAA)
California state officials, in partnership with counsel representing cities and counties, have agreed on a list of opioid remediation activities to prioritize within the State of California. These priorities, referred to as High Impact Abatement Activities (HIAA), can be found in the respective California State-Subdivision Agreements. Many of the activities listed in Exhibit E of the National Opioid Settlement Agreements can qualify as HIAA, depending on their focus.
Pursuant to the California State-Subdivision Agreements, no less than fifty percent (50%) of the funds received by a Participating Subdivision in each calendar year from the CA Abatement Accounts Fund will be used for one or more of the HIAA listed below:

15 Funding Proposal
Submitted to the City of Brea
Funding Source:
National Opioid Settlement Funds
High Impact Abatement Activity (HIAA):
High Impact Abatement Activity 5: Interventions to prevent drug addiction in vulnerable youth.
Program Names:
Shortstop and Stop Short of Addiction
Requesting Agency:
Project Youth OC (PYOC)
Contact Name:
Manuel Gutierrez, Director of Program Strategy
Request: PYOC respectfully requests funding from the City of Brea for $225,000 + $27,650 for the renting of City of Brea facilities, with a total cost of $252,650 over a three-year grant term to support the expansion of our Shortstop and Stop Short of Addiction programs into the Brea community. Each year, 100 youth and 150 parents/caregivers residing in the City of Brea, or surrounding North Orange County cities, will be served. A total of 750 unduplicated clients will be served during the three-year funding period.
Shortstop and Stop Short of Addiction work to reach at-risk youth early to prevent youth delinquency and substance use from escalating into chronic criminal behavior and drug addiction. These evidence-based services address critical issues affecting Brea youth, including truancy, vaping and other substance use, delinquency, and mental health challenges. We are committed to offering culturally competent services that reflect the demographics of the Brea community and that are tailored specifically to the needs of its at-risk youth. Our whole-person, customized approach ensures that Brea youth and families receive the support and local resources they need to navigate obstacles and thrive.
While our diversion services have been primarily focused on Santa Ana and neighboring cities, we have seen success in expanding to the Newport/Mesa area through our collaboration with Hoag Hospital. Building on this success, PYOC is eager to offer our diversion services directly in Brea, adapting our approach to meet the unique needs of local youth and families. Our goal is to position Brea as a central hub for diversion and substance abuse interventions and as a leader for innovation within the North Orange County community.
The requested funding of $75,000 + $9,216 for the City of Brea facilities per year over the grant term will allow us to maintain our current staffing to expand our Shortstop and Stop Short of Addiction services and establish a strong presence in Brea. This expansion will include offering 1 program sessions at the North Justice Center, as well as conducting intake assessments at the Brea Civic and Cultural Center as needed. Funding will cover key program costs, including but not limited to staff salary, training, and program-related expenses such as fees for using the North Justice Center, additional instructor fees, materials, staff travel, and incentives.
Our department manager will collaborate with the city services team, local law enforcement, schools, and social service agencies to ensure our diversion programs are tailored to meet the needs of Brea residents. Through these concentrated efforts, we aim to ensure that services are easily accessible, timely, and well-integrated with other resources within the Brea community.
This partnership represents an exciting opportunity to contribute to Brea’s goals of enhancing community safety and promoting long-term well-being for its youth. We look forward to collaborating with the City of Brea to create a positive, lasting impact, helping young residents reach their full potential.
Proposal Details:
A. Organizational Background
At PYOC, our mission is a human-centered, whole-family approach to ending cycles of crime and poverty by developing youth resilience and empowerment.
Our vision is a safer, healthier community for all.
Established in 1969 as the philanthropic arm of the Orange County Bar Association, PYOC became an independent nonprofit in 1981, growing its impact over the years. With a strong foundation in the local legal community and a robust governing board, PYOC has been a steady force for positive change for 55 years. During this time, it has become a trusted provider of youth diversion, behavioral health, and substance abuse services.
Our programs are a lifeline to Orange County youth and family that are marginalized and disconnected. We focus on supporting populations that are often overlooked, particularly the working poor, families of color, and high-risk youth, offering solutions that help break cycles of crime and poverty. For many of the youth we serve, this involves giving them a second chance to get back on the right path.
Our whole-family system of care addresses the root causes of justice involvement, substance abuse, and behavioral health challenges resulting in long-term transformation. We are not only mitigating future negative behaviors but also creating pathways for youth that lead to employment and higher education, changing the trajectory of their lives.
Program Services
PYOC offers a comprehensive suite of programs designed to address the critical needs of at-risk youth and their families, filling crucial gaps in local services. We serve over 1,500 at-risk youth, ages 10-24, and their family members each year. At the heart of our agency is a service model that prioritizes tailored, culturally, linguistically, and age-appropriate programs for our target population. This ensures our services are not only relevant and accessible but also effective in meeting the unique needs of the diverse communities we serve. The ripple effect of 2 our services empowers not only our youth clients, but also their families and entire communities, contributing to long-term, positive change. PYOC programs include:
Youth Diversion and Restorative Justice
● Shortstop’s evidence-based services offer juvenile crime diversion services for at-risk Orange County youth, ages 10-18, and their family members. ● Based on our successful Shortstop model, Stop Short of Addiction provides substance abuse intervention and diversion services for at-risk youth, ages 10-18, and their family members.
College and Career Access
● Project Self offers tailored support for at-risk, transition-age youth (ages 16-24) through an intensive case management model designed to help them overcome challenges and barriers. The program links youth to essential resources, career exploration opportunities, workshops, and summer internships, all aimed at helping them develop the skills necessary to achieve their educational and career goals, whether it be through college, military service, or vocational training.
Parent and Family Enrichment (new)
● Our new parent and family enrichment services are aimed at empowering parents of youth involved in PYOC programs. They connect parents to essential resources, support them through the court system, and offer workshops to enable self-sufficiency.
B. Need for Services
Childhood memories shouldn’t include handcuffs and holding cells. And yet that is the reality for upwards of 53,000 youth in the United States on any given day. Moreover, 66% of these youth are held in the most restrictive facilities and 10% in adult facilities.
The brain isn’t fully developed until age 25 when it comes to impulse control and judgment, yet one encounter with the law could destroy a youth’s childhood and future forever. It is critical that delinquency is addressed early and effectively, because studies show that 75% of detained youth reoffend within three years and 40% end up in prison by the age of 25.
Substance abuse poses another threat to the health and safety of our youth, as 62% of 11th graders in Orange County currently report alcohol and/or drug use. In the Brea-Olinda School District, 33% of 11th graders in non-traditional/continuation schools report vaping. Compounding the problem, substance use increases the likelihood that youth will come in contact with the juvenile justice system.
3 “I’ve never seen a gang member who wasn’t truant first.” --Former California District Attorney Kim Menninger
At the forefront is truancy, widely considered one of the most powerful predictors of delinquency, substance abuse, gang activity, and teen pregnancy. It’s a problem that the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention has labeled a national priority, and it’s on the rise in Orange County. Within the Brea-Olinda School District the percentage of students that are truant sits at 19%, but among youth in non-traditional/continuation schools the percentage climbs to 44%.
Moreover, 15% of low-income high school students and 14% of Latino students are chronically absent.
When combined, this data underscores the need for early intervention and a more supportive, rehabilitative approach to addressing the underlying causes of youth delinquency. Education and family support are essential to breaking the cycle of delinquency and substance abuse, providing youth with opportunities to succeed rather than fall further into the justice system.
C. Program Description
Target Population
Over the three-year grant period, 100 youth and 150 parents/caregivers residing in the City of Brea, or surrounding North Orange County cities, will be served each year through our Shortstop and Stop Short of Addiction programs, for a total of 750 unduplicated clients.
Shortstop and Stop Short of Addiction serve at-risk youth, ages 10-18, and their families. Youth are typically referred for drug use, possession of alcohol and/or drugs, petty theft, burglary, assault and battery, truancy, possession of weapons, vandalism, and behavioral struggles.
Parent/caregiver participation is a key contributor to our sustainable, long-term impact by creating a supportive network that extends beyond the duration of our programs. Project Youth OC will collaborate closely with law enforcement, schools, and community agencies within the City of Brea to refer youth and families to these services. Special focus will be placed on developing referral relationships with non-traditional/continuation schools in Brea, ensuring that the most vulnerable at-risk youth have access to the resources they need.
Program Services
Shortstop and Stop Short of Addiction are offered at no cost. New sessions start each month and are offered in both English and Spanish. Services include:
● Comprehensive Intake Assessment (2 hours): Intakes will be conducted at the PYOC office or Brea Civic and Cultural Center, depending on clients’ needs. The intake assessment gathers critical information about the youth’s drug history, family dynamics, emotional stability, at-risk behaviors, and school functioning. Trauma-informed screening is used to support recovery, resilience, and youth success. Youth and parents are 4 provided an individualized service plan that includes referrals to other PYOC programs and linkages to partners within the Brea community.
● Program Sessions: Each program has three, 3-hour sessions. The first program session will be held at the North Justice Center. The second and third sessions will be held at the PYOC office or Brea Civic and Cultural Center, as availability allows.
Shortstop and Stop Short of Addiction are not scared straight programs, but instead focus on restorative justice, legal education, and personal accountability. Program sessions utilize cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) approaches, which have proven to be 79% effective in reducing juvenile crime through a meta-analysis conducted by the National Institute of Justice (2016). This is where the developing youth brain works in our favor. Shortstop and Stop Short of Addiction work to reshape thoughts and behaviors, maximizing the program’s efficacy and helping our kids to be kids, and not kids behind bars.
Sessions integrate a variety of activities aimed at fostering positive change in youth participants. These activities include a booking process, trial simulations, and educational presentations by experts such as the Orange County Sheriff’s Coroner, who discusses the biological and psychological impacts of drug abuse. A panel of incarcerated teens in recovery also serves as reliable messengers, sharing a peer's point of view of their own experiences, substance use struggles, and the series of choices that led them to incarceration. The core of both programs centers around discussion groups and family-strengthening exercises, targeting key protective factors that help reduce the likelihood of future involvement in risky behaviors. These protective factors include enhancing skills such as conflict resolution, communication, peer refusal, problem-solving, and self-control. By adopting a restorative justice framework and incorporating evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy, these programs emphasize personal responsibility, impulse control, and social skills development. Services also aim to improve school connectedness, encourage participation in pro-social activities, foster personal responsibility, and strengthen parental monitoring. ● Mandatory Assignments: A critical part of Shortstop and Stop Short of Addiction is what happens at home.
Reading decision making and legal/drug education materials Writing essays (i.e., how drug use has impacted their lives) Researching and summarizing news articles on crime in the city of Brea Goal-setting assignments
Family communications exercises
Attending two AA or NA meetings (Stop Short of Addiction youth) Court navigation assistance
● Exit Plan and Linkages to Addiction Care: An individualized exit plan is developed for each youth participating in Shortstop and Stop Short of Addiction, ensuring they have a clear path forward after completing the program. This plan includes connections to 5 partner agencies within the City of Brea that offer additional behavioral health services (list of community providers to be given by the City of Brea.) Youth and their families may be referred to our Project Self program, which supports at-risk, transition-age youth by providing the resources, skill-building, and individualized support necessary to achieve educational and career goals through college, military service, or vocational training.
Additionally, parents and caretakers may be referred to our family and parent enrichment services which offer resource connections to housing assistance, food security, healthcare, and financial support. Parenting skills and financial independence training is also available.
● Case Management: As needed, clients may receive up to 12 weeks of intensive case management, where they receive personalized support and linkages to resources that promote emotional health and well-being. Case management is delivered using a high-touch, trauma-informed approach, adapted from the evidence-based Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA) model. Case managers work closely with youth to help them develop essential skills such as problem-solving, anger management, employment readiness, drug/alcohol refusal, and effective communication. They also support parents in developing parenting skills.
D. Stakeholders
Strong relationships with our stakeholders are a lynchpin of our work. We prioritize building transformational relationships with our board members, advisory board, clients, donors (individual and corporate), foundations, volunteers, employees, media, and our partner agencies. Many of these partnerships have been in place for over 40 years, demonstrating the trust and collaboration that have shaped our organization's success.
In alignment with the SAMHSA document “Changing the Conversation,” Project Youth OC has fostered long-term partnerships among youth diversion and behavioral health service providers in Orange County. These partnerships help address service gaps, extend the system of care for at-risk youth, and promote effective collaboration among service providers.
Since 2011, Project Youth OC has played a leading role in supporting the Orange County Probation Department as part of the Annie E. Casey Foundation's Juvenile Detention Alternative Initiative (JDAI). Our involvement includes participation in the Executive Steering and Alternative to Detention (ATD) work group alongside other community organizations and juvenile justice officials. We are also an active member of the Orange County Probation Department's Juvenile Hall Self-Assessment Team.
More recently, we have collaborated with the Orange County Reentry Partnership (OCREP) to establish a sub-committee focused on juvenile youth re-entry. Project Youth OC has co-chaired this sub-committee since 2017, working to support youth transitioning from detention back into their communities. Additionally, for the past 15 years, we have attended Orange County Juvenile Justice Commission meetings, advocating for youth involved in the juvenile justice system and supporting efforts related to advocacy and regulatory functions. These longstanding 6 partnerships demonstrate our commitment to collaboration and our dedication to improving outcomes for at-risk youth in Orange County.

TO
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM
Kristin Griffith, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION
1. Adopt a resolution authorizing the Police Chief or his designee to execute Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) grant documents for and on behalf of the City of Brea;
2. Authorize the City Manager, Police Chief or designated persons within the Brea Police Department to oversee and administer the projects associated with the Anaheim/Santa Ana UASI training and funding on behalf of the City;
3. Approve an agreement with the City of Santa Ana for transfer or purchase of equipment/services or reimbursement of training costs;
4. Authorize the City Manager and City Attorney to make any necessary, non-monetary changes to the agreement; and 5) Authorize the Police Chief to execute the agreement.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, through the State of California Emergency Management Agency, has authorized the City of Santa Ana to allocated funds from the County. The Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area (ASAUA) oversees and distributes these funds, with the majority of the funds going to Emergency Operations Training, including Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT), various communications enhancements, and some equipment requests. The Brea Police Department is a sub-recipient of this grant.
At this time, the police department does not expect any funding from this program. However, the proposed resolution and agreement would allow the City to accept those funds, should they become available, and allow specified personnel, the City Manager, Police Chief, and Operations or Support Services Division Commander (Police Captain), to manage and/or execute any necessary documents related to the grant on behalf of the City. If funds do become available, those monies would likely be used to reimburse the City for overtime expended in UASIsanctioned training.
FISCAL IMPACT/SUMMARY
There is no fiscal impact to the City of Brea.

39. Required Use of American Iron, Steel, Manufactured Products, and Construction Materials
The Applicant must comply with the “Build America, Buy America” Act (BABAA), enacted as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and Executive Order 14005.
Applicants receiving a federal award subject to BABAA requirements may not use federal financial assistance funds for infrastructure projects unless:
(a) All iron and steel used in the project are produced in the United States – this means all manufacturing processes, from the initial melting stage through the application of coatings, occurred in the United States; (b) All manufactured products used in the project are produced in the United States – this means the manufactured product was manufactured in the United States; and the cost of the components of the manufactured product that are mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States is greater than 55 percent of the total cost of all components of the manufactured product, unless another standard for determining the minimum amount of domestic content of the manufactured product has been established under applicable law or regulation; and
(c) All construction materials are manufactured in the United States – this means that all manufacturing processes for the construction material occurred in the United States.
The “Buy America” preference only applies to articles, materials, and supplies that are consumed in, incorporated into, or affixed to an infrastructure project. It does not apply to tools, equipment, and supplies, such as temporary scaffolding, brought to the construction site and removed at or before the completion of the infrastructure project. Nor does a “Buy America” preference apply to equipment and furnishings, such as movable chairs, desks, and portable computer equipment, that are used at or within the finished infrastructure project but are not an integral part of the structure or permanently affixed to the infrastructure project.
Per section 70914(c) of BABAA, FEMA may waive the application of a “Buy America” preference under an infrastructure program in certain cases.
For any new awards FEMA makes after January 1, 2023, as well as new funding FEMA obligates to existing awards or through renewal awards where the new funding is obligated after January 1, 2023, Applicants will be required to follow the BABAA requirements unless a waiver is requested and approved.

TO
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM
Kristin Griffith, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving an employment agreement between the City of Brea and Kristin Griffith for employment as City Manager; and authorizing the Mayor to execute the Employment Agreement
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Following the retirement announcement by former City Manager Bill Gallardo on November 20, 2024, the City Council appointed Deputy City Manager/Administrative Services Director Kristin Griffith to the position of Interim City Manager/Administrative Services Director on November 23, 2024. In December 2024, the City Council appointed Council Member Marick and Vargas to an Ad-Hoc Committee to work with the City Attorney and Human Resources Manager to conduct a market review of the City Manager position and draft an Employment Agreement in order to hire a new City Manager. On February 18, 2025, Kristin Griffith was appointed City Manager.
The City Council selected Kristin Griffith based on her extensive experience in municipal service and her qualifications for the position. Ms. Griffith started her career with the Santa Margarita Water District over twentyeight (28) years ago and held various positions in the organization, ultimately advancing to Director of Finance. Ms.
Griffith also served as the Director of Financial Management and Strategic Planning for the City of Irvine. She first came to Brea in 2022 as the Administrative Services Manager overseeing the Finance, Human Resources, Accounting, and Information Technology divisions. In July 2024, she was appointed as Deputy City Manager/Administrative Services Director. Ms. Griffith earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Financial Services from San Diego State University.
The terms of the proposed Employment Agreement includes, among other terms, a base salary of $28,424.25 per month with no scheduled increases for a two-year period and, unless terminated by either party, a one-year extension period. This salary is consistent with the City Council’s goal to pay employees the median of the market within a 10-City comparable group and reflects similar compensation negotiated with other bargaining groups in recent years. The contract also provides for an eight percent (8%) of base salary annual contribution to deferred compensation and sixty (60) hours of administrative leave for each fiscal year in recognition of work outside of normal working hours.
Furthermore, Ms. Griffith will be eligible for the Executive Management benefits as outlined in the Executive Compensation Plan, which includes flexible benefits plan (medical, dental, vision), wellness, life, and disability insurance; holidays, vacation and sick leave; and retirement benefits. The contract includes annual performance reviews, at which time the City Council may consider cost of living and salary adjustments.
Either party may terminate without cause upon providing a thirty-day notice. The City may terminate for cause for the specific reasons set forth in the Employment Agreement by providing her with a written notice of termination, which shall be effective immediately. If employment is terminated and severance pay is applicable per the contract, the employee will receive a cash payment equal to twelve (12) months of base salary.
California law requires that the City Council adopt a proposed employment agreement with a City Manager at a regular meeting, via resolution. If approved, Ms. Griffith’s contract will be effective on March 18, 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT/SUMMARY
This compensation adjustment is needed for the City to remain competitive in the current labor market if Brea is going to continue to attract and maintain quality executives. This action authorizes the City Council to approve an Employment Agreement with a City Manager salary set to the median of the market, effective March 18, 2025. This adjustment is consistent with median of the market salary adjustments that were approved for all labor groups and executives in recent years.
There is no fiscal impact to the adopted budget for FY 2024-25 due to current budget allocation and department salary savings. However, on-going costs related to this agreement will be programmed in the FY 2025-26 budget projections as applicable.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED:

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:
1. Adopt a Resolution approving City staff’s recommendation for the proposed solid waste rates for residential, commercial and multi-family customers and Adopt a Resolution approving the Second Amended and Restated Franchise Agreement with Republic Waste Services of Southern California, LLC (d.b.a. Brea Disposal) and corresponding Exhibits.
2. Find the Second Amended and Restated Franchise Agreement is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Based on feedback from prior City Council meetings, Republic Services has agreed to retain the negotiated $65.00 overage fee starting in year one, forgo the request for a 0.75% addition to the commercial rate adjustment, and commit to help assist the three mobile home parks with curbside cart options for pickup. The finalized version of the Seconded Amended and Restated Agreement (Agreement) and corresponding Exhibits are attached to the staff report for City Council consideration. The attached Agreement and Exhibits contain the agreed upon contract and other provisions, which include:
Republic Services would retain full flow control for all residential and commercial recyclable materials Revised phase-in period from Consumer Price Index (CPI) to the Garbage and Trash Collection Index (GTCI) as the rate adjustment index
Phase-in from CPI to GTCI for the residential sector would occur from years 2 through 5 Phase-in for commercial sector would be 100% to the GTCI starting in year 2 Streamlined reporting requirements in Exhibit F to align with SB 1383 requirements Re-opener language to discuss the landfill disposal component upon the approval of the new Orange County waste disposal agreement
These provisions are in exchange for the City retaining full flow control for all residential and commercial solid and organic waste.
Republic Services Contract Negotiations Results
At the January 17, 2023, Brea City Council Meeting, the City Council created a Solid Waste Ad Hoc Committee (Ad Hoc Committee). It assigned Council Member Hupp and Council Member Vargas to serve on the committee. Since then, the Ad Hoc Committee and City staff have been engaged in extensive negotiations with Republic Services to reach a comprehensive agreement that will provide all the additional services the City must implement to comply with SB 1383 regulations. This Second Amended and Restated Franchise Agreement will memorialize each party's rights and obligations in a single document to implement an SB 1383-compliant program in Brea. The tentative Agreement is being presented for City Council consideration. Below is a summary of some of the new provisions.
Residential and Commercial Rates
A significant component of the Second Amended and Restated Franchise Agreement (Agreement) is implementing a residential curbside organic waste collection program. Under the new program, single-family residential locations can place food scraps in their yard waste cart; thus, the yard waste cart will now be considered an organic waste cart. The residential curbside organic waste collection program was a service that was not part of the prior 2002 Agreement. This component was also one of the crucial activities identified in the City's CAP with CalRecycle.
Table 1 compares single-family residential (curbside) rates of Orange County cities that contract with Republic Services. When reviewing the table, it is essential to note that some cities that contract with Republic Services have not yet implemented a residential organic waste collection program. Once all cities have implemented a program, Brea's single-family rate is anticipated to be closer to the median of cities that contract with Republic Services.
1 Rate includes 3 carts - regular trash, recycling, and yard/organic waste 2 Residential curbside SB 1383 program not implemented
The City of Brea had already established an organic waste collection program for commercial properties under the 2019 CORP agreement to comply with prior organic waste legislation (Assembly Bill 1826). Under SB 1383 regulations, multi-family locations consisting of 5 dwelling units or more are considered commercial entities and fall under commercial services. Through extensive negotiations by the City's Ad Hoc Committee, commercial rate increases were minimized. The amended Agreement keeps commercial rates competitive compared to other Orange County cities that contract with Republic Services.
Table 2 compares commercial/multi-family rates for the most commonly used container size for cities that contract with Republic Services. Under the negotiated terms, Brea will be the second lowest for this container size among cities serviced by Republic.
1 Most commonly used container size Commercial/Multi-Family locations 3 cubic yard bin Table 3 compares commercial/multi-family rates for the most commonly used recycling container size for cities that contract with Republic Services. Through negotiations, Brea is in the top half of rates for containers this size.
1 Most commonly used container size Commercial/Multi-Family locations 3 cubic yard bin The City's Ad Hoc Committee also secured no rate increases for commercial organic waste collection services. The proposed rate will place Brea in the median of cities contracting with Republic Services. 1 Most commonly used container size Commercial/Multi-Family locations 65-gallon cart The amended Agreement also provides customer credits for potential future labor unrest which may impact services. This provision will allow customers to receive compensation for any missed service days.
Additionally, the amended Agreement retains the fifty percent revenue sharing from the sale of recyclable materials collected by providing residential customer rebates.
Liquidated Damages
The amended Agreement contains new liquidated damages provisions to help ensure Republic Services is adhering to performance standards. These liquidated damages allow the City to hold Republic Services accountable for substandard service by imposing monetary penalties. Below are some of the liquidated damages the City would be able to impose:
Failure to collect discarded materials that have been adequately set out for collection - $100 per occurrence.
Failure to collect illegally dumped bulky goods within two days of notification by the City -$100 per day.
Failure to clean up vehicle leaks or spills within the agreed time-frame - $500 per occurrence.
Failure to record a response to a customer complaint or request within 24 hours of resolution—$100 per occurrence.
Failure to repair or replace a damaged or missing container within two working days of a request from the City or a customer—$50 per day.
The complete list of liquidated damages can be found in Section 12.6 of the attached amended Agreement.
Flow Control
Under the initial negotiated terms, the City retained flow control rights for solid waste disposal for singlefamily and commercial customers. In addition, the Amended Agreement explicitly designates that the City will retain flow control for single-family residential recycling materials and organic materials, a key provision that the City retains. This allows the City to direct which facilities these materials should be taken to for processing and disposal. Retaining this option could minimize future rate adjustments for single-family residential customers by allowing the City to designate facilities that may have lower processing and disposal costs.
Outreach and Education Requirements
The amended Agreement contains additional education and outreach activities that City staff and Republic Services will conduct. These efforts will be key to the City's compliance with SB 1383 to inform residential and commercial customers of new service levels, container configurations, and recycling requirements. Upon approval of the amended Agreement, City staff and Republic Services will begin notification of the new service collection program. This will include mailings to all residential and commercial customers regarding the new program requirements, updates on both Republic Services and City websites, quarterly newsletters, and informational posts on the City's social media platforms. Republic Services will be required under the amended Agreement to provide continuous education and outreach to all residential and commercial customers annually to ensure SB 1383 compliance.
Moreover, Republic Services will assign a full-time, Brea-dedicated Recycling Coordinator/Sustainability Advisor and one part-time route auditor to assist with citywide education and outreach efforts, participate in community events, conduct waste audits, resolve customer complaints/requests, and perform additional compliance efforts.
Once the amended Agreement is approved, Republic Services will distribute a new cart label to all singlefamily residential locations in the City. Residents will place these new labels on their yard waste containers to identify the expanded accepted materials for collecting all organic waste. This is because Brea's current residential yard waste carts do not meet SB 1383 labeling and color requirements. With the goal of limiting the increase to residential rates, the temporary labels were a compromise, allowing the current carts to continue to be used until they become damaged or worn. Once the cart has reached the end of its useful life, it will be replaced with an SB 1383-compliant cart. Under SB 1383, current carts are allowed to be used until January 1, 2036.
Monitoring and Reporting
The amended Agreement contains provisions for contamination monitoring and reporting requirements to comply with SB 1383 regulations. Republic Services will be required to perform container contamination monitoring, conduct route reviews of containers for prohibited container contaminants, prepare reports, and assist customers in reducing the levels of contamination in their containers.
Upon identification of prohibited container contaminants, Republic Services shall provide the customer with a notice of contamination, either as a courtesy pick-up notice or a non-collection notice. Commercial customers who receive a notice will be informed of the observed presence of prohibited container contaminants, information on the customer's requirement to properly separate materials into the appropriate containers, and information that contamination fees may be assessed following one instance of contaminated materials for commercial customers. Residential customers will be notified via a non-collection notice of container contamination and instructed to properly separate the materials into the appropriate container before servicing them.
Republic Services will also be required to maintain a container contaminant log and fee assessment report, which will be included in monthly activity reports for the City. These reports will be required to maintain compliance with the record-keeping requirements under SB 1383. Furthermore, Republic Services shall prepare and submit the draft CalRecycle Electronic Annual Report (EAR) to the City for review and approval by July 1 of each year. All jurisdictions are required by the State to submit an EAR annually to monitor progress in implementing solid waste and recycling laws.
Food Recovery Assistance
The amended Agreement contains a provision to assist with identification and outreach to Commercial Edible Food Generators (CEFG) as part of food recovery efforts. Under the amended Agreement, Republic Services will provide a $45,000 annual lump sum to help fund an agreement with a food recovery organization to facilitate food recovery efforts. City staff and Republic Services will annually provide education outreach, legislative requirement reminders, and training to all on-site employees for CEFG to ensure SB 1383 compliance. Furthermore, Republic Services will be expected to facilitate the growth of food recovery efforts in Brea for Edible Food Recovery Organizations to ensure a collaborative approach to reducing food waste within the community.
City and Community Services
The amended Agreement also contains additional benefits to the community and City. Republic Services will continue to provide solid waste and recycling collection and disposal services for City-sponsored events at no cost. The amended Agreement also annually provides seven 40-yard roll-off containers for the City to utilize for neighborhood or other cleanup events such as Go Serve Brea. Republic will also provide up to 20 tons of compost and/or mulch for community giveaway events for Brea residents to pick up. This material will assist the City in achieving its annual recovered organic target. Additionally, the amended Agreement includes a new annual mobile paper shredding event where residents can take old paperwork to be securely shredded onsite.
Compliance with other State Laws
The amended Agreement will help the City maintain compliance with other State laws regarding solid waste and recycling, including:
AB 939 - Adopted in 1989, AB 939 (the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989) provides the statutory framework for solid waste collection and diversion by jurisdictions in the State AB 341 - Adopted in 2012, AB 341 required mandatory commercial recycling and set forth a state diversion goal of 75% by 2020
AB 1826 - Adopted in 2014, AB 1826 required mandatory commercial organics (food and green waste) recycling from businesses and green waste recycling from multi-family units (five or more units) by April 2016. Food scrap recycling programs were also required to be offered to businesses meeting the thresholds of the law
AB 1594 - Eliminated allowing the use of green (yard) waste for alternative daily cover at landfills as a diversion credit in state reporting starting in January 2020 SB 1383 - Effective January 1, 2022, SB 1383 established goals to reduce short-lived climate pollutants (e.g., greenhouse gasses) by 75 percent by 2025 throughout the State. In particular, focusing on methane gasses released from landfills from decomposing organic material. The law also set a 20% recovery threshold for edible food from being disposed in landfills.
Environmental Determination
The City Council finds and determines that approval of the 2025 Franchise Agreement and the Proposed Rate Adjustments is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") review under statutory and categorical exemptions, including those outlined in California Code of Regulations Title 14, Sections 15061(b) (3), 15273(a), 15301, and 15308. Development and implementation of the amended organic waste collection services under the 2025 Agreement is a requirement of SB 1383 and CalRecycle and is exempt from CEQA because it is an action under a regulatory requirement to assure the protection of the environment and involves procedures for the protection of the environment. Furthermore, the amended organic waste collection services apply to the City's existing volume of generated solid waste, which has no expansion of use. The Proposed Rate Adjustments are necessary to meet the operating expenses of the organic waste collection program. These approvals are additionally exempt under the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that can potentially cause a significant effect on the environment.
Cost-of-Service-Study
The proposed solid waste rate adjustments are needed to comply with new unfunded State regulations required by SB 1383. They also coincide with the Second Amended and Restated Franchise Agreement being presented for City Council consideration. The proposed rate adjustments will allow for Republic Services to implement a residential curbside organic waste collection program, expand current commercial organic waste collection services, procure additional collection carts and vehicles, implement monitoring and reporting functions, assist with edible food recovery efforts, and incorporate additional service measures to ensure compliance with SB 1383.
NewGen Strategies and Solutions, LLC (NewGen) conducted a cost-of-service study (Study) (Attachment B—Solid Waste Cost of Service Study Memorandum), which examined the City's Sanitation and Street Sweeping Fund (Fund 440). The Study focused on residential solid waste collection services to determine if the proposed rate adjustment will meet the cost-of-service requirements to ensure the continuous delivery of essential sanitation services and implement additional services to comply with SB 1383 regulations.
The Study analyzed historical data for Fund 440 from the past five budget cycles, the current Fiscal Year budget for Fund 440, and Republic Services' estimated cost for residential organic waste collection service to design rates for the City for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025. The Study also removed 15% of City staff salary expenses to account for assistance provided to commercial customers as part of daily City functions.
Under current year projections, the cost to provide residential solid waste collection is $4,061,390. This cost does not include the additional amount to implement the new residential curbside organic waste collection service. The current revenues generated at the current curbside cart rate is $3,857,941. This results in a current under-recovery of costs of $203,449. The solid waste franchise fees collected in FY 23-24 were $1,164,193, included in the City's General Fund revenues. These revenues are utilized for various General Fund activities. They are not intended to administer the solid waste program. As a result, Table 5 shows the amount of solid waste franchise fees collected and the General Fund subsidies to Fund 440. Enterprise funds should strive to be cost-neutral and not be provided subsidies from General Fund revenues.
*Cost projection does not include additional residential organic waste collection costs After reviewing historical and current budget data, NewGen determined that the total revenue requirement to achieve cost recovery for residential solid waste services in Fund 440 for FY 2024-2025 is $4,504,926. According to the Study, most of those costs, which amount to $3,440,310, are related to the contract with Republic Services. The remaining costs are for salaries and benefits of City staff to administer the solid waste program and provide residential billing services. There is an additional cost of $487,740 in FY 2024-2025 for Republic Services to implement the new curbside residential organic waste collection service. This new service is a significant component of the Second Amended and Restated Franchise Agreement. Table 6 outlines the FY 2024-2025 revenue requirement for residential solid waste services.
The Study showed that under the current residential cart rate of $27.80 per month, there is a projected underrecovery of $646,985 for FY 2024-2025. The under-recovery results from the total revenue from the current curbside cart rate of $3,857,941 compared with the future revenue requirement of $4,504,926 to implement the residential organic waste collection service and account for City administrative costs. Table 7 shows the difference between the current curbside cart rate revenues and the future revenues needed to cover service costs.
To achieve cost recovery, including the new curbside residential organic waste collection program, NewGen recommended a $4.79 increase to the current monthly refuse rate.
Based on the consultant's recommended $4.79 increase, $29.45 is comprised of the negotiated contract rate with Republic Services to implement required SB 1383 programs. The additional $3.14 would go to the City to cover costs for administration and oversight of the residential solid waste program and billing services.
After reviewing the study results, City staff conducted additional research to determine if any action could be taken to reduce the consultant-recommended residential rate. Staff determined that the recommended residential rate could be reduced due to current staffing vacancies in the Public Works Department. As a result, City staff's recommended adjusted residential rate is $31.27 per month which is $1.32 less than the consultant's recommended rate. This recommended residential rate is projected to result in an under-recovery of $158,930 for Fund 440, compared to the full cost recovery identified in the Study, by the end of FY 2024-2025.
The City staff proposed rate retains the negotiated contracted rate to allow Republic Services to implement required SB 1383 programs and maintain minimum service levels provided by City staff for the remainder of FY 2024-2025. The proposed adjustments account for all labor, equipment, materials and supplies, insurance, overhead, transfer, and disposal necessary to perform all services. With its consultant, the City has reviewed the overall proposed rate adjustments as part of the Study and determined them to be reasonable.
Furthermore, the proposed rate adjustments will allow the City to implement the necessary services to satisfy the action items identified in its formal CAP and ensure compliance with SB 1383 regulations. If the City Council approves the proposed rate adjustments, the new rates will go into effect on July 1, 2025.
Proposition 218 Public Hearing
Proposition 218 (Prop. 218) requires the City to conduct a public hearing to consider approving a resolution adjusting solid waste service rates for residential, multi-family, and commercial customers. The City must mail the notice at least forty-five (45) days before the public hearing date regarding the proposed rates.
Beginning the week of December 1, 2024, per Prop. 218, the City mailed notifications of the proposed adjusted, solid waste service rates to property owners, commercial customers, tenants, and occupants as part of the bimonthly utility billing (Attachment A—Prop. 218 Public Hearing Notice). Separate Prop. 218 notices were mailed out on December 19, 2024, utilizing the most current addresses from Orange County property tax roll assessments.
The Prop. 218 notice identified the proposed adjusted rates and instructions for filing written protests concerning the proposed rates. As of agenda preparation on January 28, 2025, the City received three written protest objecting to the rate increase. Protest letters from over 50% of the parcels in Brea would be required to prevent the approval of the recommended actions. If no majority protest is received, and the City Council approves the resolution, the rate adjustments would be effective July 1, 2025.
COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
This staff report was reviewed by the Finance Committee at their January 28, 2025, meeting and recommended to proceed to City Council.
SUMMARY/FISCAL IMPACT
Under the Second Amended and Restated Franchise Agreement, the City will be paid a 10 percent franchise fee.
The annual franchise fee is estimated to be $1.2 million for the Agreement's first year. Subsequent franchise fee payments will depend upon the revenues collected after applying the rate adjustment indexes and the number of active solid waste accounts. The collected franchise fees are deposited into the General Fund (Fund 110).
City staff's recommended residential curbside monthly cart rate of $31.27 is estimated to generate $4,345,996 in revenue for Fund 440. Based on the staff-recommended residential rate, there is a projected under-recovery of $158,930 by the end of FY 2024-2025. After the conclusion of FY 2024-2025, additional rate adjustments may be needed to achieve full cost recovery, as identified in the Cost-of-Service Study for Fund 440, which can be further analyzed as part of future budgeting processes.

The public hearing will be conducted in accordance with Proposition 218 (1996), specifically California Constitution Article XIII D, Section 6. This notice is being sent to all property owners of record whose parcels receive solid waste and recycling services from Brea’s solid waste hauler franchisee and to tenants who are directly responsible for payment of the solid waste and recycling service rates.
WHY ARE RATE INCREASES NECESSARY?
All California cities, including Brea, face the most stringent solid waste legislation in history under Senate Bill 1383 (2016) (“SB 1383”). SB 1383 mandates the State of California to reduce organic waste disposal (including green waste and food waste) 50% by January 1, 2020, and 75% by January 1, 2025.
SB 1383 also requires the State to recover 20% of edible food by January 1, 2025. As a result, green waste and food waste can no longer be disposed of in a landfill and must be recycled. The SB 1383 organic recycling mandates, along with current economic conditions, including equipment supply chain interruptions and labor shortages, are significantly impacting the solid waste industry. For the City of Brea to remain in compliance with State law and avoid being fined by the State, expanded solid waste and recycling services are necessary, none of which are funded by the State. Therefore, these expanded services and other cost increases must be funded by adjusting the solid waste and recycling service rates.
PROPOSED SOLID WASTE & RECYCLING SERVICE RATES
The City Council will consider the proposed adjustments to the solid waste and recycling service rates in connection with entering into a restated and amended Franchise Agreement with the City’s solid waste hauler franchisee, Republic Waste Services of Southern California LLC, which does business as Brea Disposal. The new Franchise Agreement will ensure that the City continues to be in compliance with SB 1383 and other unfunded State mandates for solid waste and recycling. The proposed rates represent the maximum amount that customers can be charged pursuant to the new Franchise Agreement for all labor, equipment, materials and supplies, taxes, insurance, bonds, letters of credit, overhead, disposal, transfer, profit, and all other things necessary to perform solid waste and recycling services.
Under the new Franchise Agreement, there are two customer classes: (i) single-family residential (premises with less than five dwelling units) and (ii) commercial, which includes multi-family and industrial. The proposed single-family residential monthly rate is a flat rate comprised of a City Utility Billing Component, Service Component, and Disposal Component, and includes one pick-up per week of a trash cart, recycling cart, and organic waste cart.
The proposed commercial monthly rates are comprised of a Service Component and a Disposal Component for each type of service (trash, recycling and organic waste), and for each type of service is based on: (i) container size (in gallons or cubic yards); (ii) type of container (e.g., cart or bin); and (iii) frequency of pick-ups per week. Absent a waiver, commercial customers are required to have trash, organic waste and recycling service. For all customers, extra services (e.g., roll-out services) are available at additional cost. A partial list of the proposed rates are set forth in the attached Exhibit A.
A full list of the proposed rates can be viewed on the City’s website at www.cityofbrea.net/recyclebrea.
If approved by the City Council, the initial rate adjustments will go into effect on March 1, 2025. In addition, without the City Council holding additional public hearings, the rates may be adjusted on July 1, 2025, July 1, 2026, July 1, 2027, and July 1, 2028 to account for inflation and changes in the gate rate at the County landfill. The method for calculating the annual adjustments can be viewed on the City’s website at cityofbrea.net/recyclebrea.
HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE? WHAT IS A MAJORITY PROTEST?
At the public hearing, the City Council will hear and consider all objections or protests to the proposed adjustments to the solid waste and recycling service rates. Any property owner of record whose parcel receives solid waste and recycling services from Republic and any property tenant that is directly responsible for payment of solid waste and recycling service rates (each, a "rate payer") may submit a written protest against the proposed adjustments to the solid waste and recycling service rates. Written protests may be personally delivered to the City Clerk during the public hearing.
Written protests may also be mailed to the City of Brea, Attention: City Clerk, 1 Civic Center Circle, Brea, CA 92821 or delivered in-person to City Hall, 1 Civic Center Circle, Brea, CA 92821. Protests that are mailed or delivered to City Hall must be received by the City Clerk by 7:00 PM on February 4, 2025.
To be counted, a written protest must: (1) identify the parcel of property subject to the proposed adjustments to solid waste and recycling service rates, (2) identify the rate payer, and (3) include the signature of the rate payer. Emailed protests will not be counted in determining the existence of a majority protest. A majority protest will exist if, at the end of the public hearing, there are written protests submitted by a majority of the rate payers subject to the proposed adjustments to solid waste and recycling service rates. No more than one written protest per parcel of property will be counted in calculating a majority protest. The City Council cannot adopt the proposed adjustments to the solid waste and recycling service rates if a majority protest exists.

CITY OF BREA PROPOSED SOLID WASTE & RECYCLING SERVICE RATES EFFECTIVE MARCH 1, 2025
ATTACHMENT A
Service rates are for the operation and administration of the solid waste disposal and recycling services and programs implemented by the franchisee as required by State law, the Brea Municipal Code, and the franchise agreement.
Such services include solid waste containers, solid waste pick-up, a set number of bulky item pickups per year, e-waste disposal, compost giveaways, and other community clean up events.
Additional information on services provided by Republic Services can be found at www.recyclebrea.net
ARE WE THE ONLY CITY EXPERIENCING A RATE
ADJUSTMENT ?
No. The costs associated with the proposed rate increase will affect most, if not all, jurisdictions in Orange County and the State. Costs associated with inflation, Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383), and recycling markets will impact solid waste rates all across California.
WHAT IS SENATE BILL 1383 ?
Short-lived Climate Pollutants (SLCP): Organic Waste
Reductions Act was signed into law in 2016. The
law established statewide targets to achieve a 50%
reduction in the level of organic waste disposed
in landfills by 2020 and a 75% reduction by 2025.
Additionally, the law sets a statewide target of a 20%
reduction in the disposal of edible food, and for this
food to be recovered for human consumption.

CITY OF BREA NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING FOR
PROPOSED ADJUSTMENTS TO SOLID WASTE & RECYCLING SERVICE RATES NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Brea City Council will hold a public hearing on proposed adjustments to solid waste and recycling service rates on Tuesday, February 4, 2025 at 7:00 PM, or as soon as the matter may be heard, at 1 Civic Center Circle, Brea, CA 92821 in City Council Chambers. If approved by the City Council in the absence of a majority protest (see below), the initial increases will go into effect on March 1, 2025.
WHY HAVE I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE?
This notice is regarding a public hearing to consider proposed adjustments to solid waste and recycling service rates for all Brea solid waste customers.
The public hearing will be conducted in accordance with Proposition 218 (1996), specifically California Constitution Article XIII D, Section 6. This notice is being sent to all property owners of record whose parcels receive solid waste and recycling services from Brea’s solid waste hauler franchisee and to tenants who are directly responsible for payment of the solid waste and recycling service rates.
WHY ARE RATE INCREASES NECESSARY?
All California cities, including Brea, face the most stringent solid waste legislation in history under Senate Bill 1383 (2016) (“SB 1383”). SB 1383 mandates the State of California to reduce organic waste disposal (including green waste and food waste) 50% by January 1, 2020, and 75% by January 1, 2025.
SB 1383 also requires the State to recover 20% of edible food by January 1, 2025. As a result, green waste and food waste can no longer be disposed of in a landfill and must be recycled. The SB 1383 organic recycling mandates, along with current economic conditions, including equipment supply chain interruptions and labor shortages, are significantly impacting the solid waste industry. For the City of Brea to remain in compliance with State law and avoid being fined by the State, expanded solid waste and recycling services are necessary, none of which are funded by the State. Therefore, these expanded services and other cost increases must be funded by adjusting the solid waste and recycling service rates.
PROPOSED SOLID WASTE & RECYCLING SERVICE RATES
The City Council will consider the proposed adjustments to the solid waste and recycling service rates in connection with entering into a restated and amended Franchise Agreement with the City’s solid waste hauler franchisee, Republic Waste Services of Southern California LLC, which does business as Brea Disposal. The new Franchise Agreement will ensure that the City continues to be in compliance with SB 1383 and other unfunded State mandates for solid waste and recycling. The proposed rates represent the maximum amount that customers can be charged pursuant to the new Franchise Agreement for all labor, equipment, materials and supplies, taxes, insurance, bonds, letters of credit, overhead, disposal, transfer, profit, and all other things necessary to perform solid waste and recycling services.
Under the new Franchise Agreement, there are two customer classes: (i) single-family residential (premises with less than five dwelling units) and (ii) commercial, which includes multi-family and industrial. The proposed single-family residential monthly rate is a flat rate comprised of a City Utility Billing Component, Service Component, and Disposal Component, and includes one pick-up per week of a trash cart, recycling cart, and organic waste cart.
The proposed commercial monthly rates are comprised of a Service Component and a Disposal Component for each type of service (trash, recycling and organic waste), and for each type of service is based on: (i) container size (in gallons or cubic yards); (ii) type of container (e.g., cart or bin); and (iii) frequency of pick-ups per week. Absent a waiver, commercial customers are required to have trash, organic waste and recycling service. For all customers, extra services (e.g., roll-out services) are available at additional cost. A partial list of the proposed rates are set forth in the attached Exhibit A.
A full list of the proposed rates can be viewed on the City’s website at www.cityofbrea.net/recyclebrea.
If approved by the City Council, the initial rate adjustments will go into effect on March 1, 2025. In addition, without the City Council holding additional public hearings, the rates may be adjusted on July 1, 2025, July 1, 2026, July 1, 2027, and July 1, 2028 to account for inflation and changes in the gate rate at the County landfill. The method for calculating the annual adjustments can be viewed on the City’s website at cityofbrea.net/recyclebrea.
HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE? WHAT IS A MAJORITY PROTEST?
At the public hearing, the City Council will hear and consider all objections or protests to the proposed adjustments to the solid waste and recycling service rates. Any property owner of record whose parcel receives solid waste and recycling services from Republic and any property tenant that is directly responsible for payment of solid waste and recycling service rates (each, a "rate payer") may submit a written protest against the proposed adjustments to the solid waste and recycling service rates. Written protests may be personally delivered to the City Clerk during the public hearing.
Written protests may also be mailed to the City of Brea, Attention: City Clerk, 1 Civic Center Circle, Brea, CA 92821 or delivered in-person to City Hall, 1 Civic Center Circle, Brea, CA 92821. Protests that are mailed or delivered to City Hall must be received by the City Clerk by 7:00 PM on February 4, 2025.
To be counted, a written protest must: (1) identify the parcel of property subject to the proposed adjustments to solid waste and recycling service rates, (2) identify the rate payer, and (3) include the signature of the rate payer. Emailed protests will not be counted in determining the existence of a majority protest. A majority protest will exist if, at the end of the public hearing, there are written protests submitted by a majority of the rate payers subject to the proposed adjustments to solid waste and recycling service rates. No more than one written protest per parcel of property will be counted in calculating a majority protest. The City Council cannot adopt the proposed adjustments to the solid waste and recycling service rates if a majority protest exists.

Re: Solid Waste Cost of Service Study and Proposed Rate Increase for FY 2024 – 2025 Introduction
NewGen Strategies and Solutions, LLC (NewGen) was retained by the City of Brea (City) to conduct a solid waste cost of service study to assess the financial integrity of the City’s residential solid waste collection service, while ensuring that the City’s cost of organics diversion collection services, provided by Republic Services (a.k.a. Brea Disposal) in compliance with SB 1383 regulations, were fully incorporated into NewGen’s cost analysis. In developing this analysis, the Project Team assessed and forecasted the cost of service by analyzing historical data, the current budget, and Republic’s estimated cost proposal to design rates for the City of Brea for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025.
Test Year
In developing the Test Year revenue requirement for the City, NewGen used the FY 2024 – 2025 adopted budget as the basis for the Test Year. NewGen compared the FY 2024 – 2025 budget to historical budgets for FY 2023 – 2024, FY 2022 – 2023, and FY 2021 – 2022. Through this comparison and with input from City staff, NewGen made the following adjustments to ensure that the Test Year would reflect residential collection expenses that occur on a regular basis:
• 15% of all salary related expenses were deducted from the Test Year to remove the portion of expense used to fund commercial solid waste collection. • $487,740 of additional costs were added to the Test Year to cover the City’s additional expense associated with Republic Services providing organics diversion collection services.
Table 1 shows the projected revenue requirement for FY 2024 – 2025.
