City Council Agenda Report
AMENDMENT NO. 8 TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT NO. 19-01 WITH YUNEX, LLC FORTRAFFIC SIGNAL MAINTENANCE SERVICES
PREPARED BY PRESENTED BY
Norm Wray, Senior Engineering Technician Norm Wray, Senior Engineering Technician
DEPARTMENT HEAD APPROVAL CITY MANAGER APPROVAL
Mina Mikhael, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Aaron France, City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1) Approve Amendment No. 8 to the Professional Services Agreement (PSA No.19-01) with Yunex, LLC, for traffic signal maintenance services and dispense with competitive bidding pursuant to Section 3.28.080(H) of the Buena Park Municipal Code based on the City Council's finding that the proposed amendment is in the best interests of the City as service rates remain below average market rate; 2) Authorize the City Manager and City Attorney to make any necessary, non-monetary changes to the Amendment; and 3) Authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the Amendment in final form.
PREVIOUS CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The City Council approved the original PSA No. 19-01 on January 8, 2019, and has since approved seven amendments to extend the term of the agreement, modify the services performed, and adjust the compensation paid in consideration for the services. The most recent amendment, approved in June 2025, is scheduled to expire on June 30, 3026.
DISCUSSION
Maintaining traffic signals in the City is vital for safety, flow, and compliance. Properly functioning signals reduce accidents, optimize traffic patterns, and improve pedestrian safety. Consistent maintenance ensures compliance with traffic standards, aid emergency response, and fosters public confidence in the City’s transportation infrastructure. Additionally, well-maintained signals support data collection for traffic management and planning.
The City owns 86 existing traffic signalized intersections, including five signals on the Beach Boulevard corridor which are coordinated by Caltrans. The City also operates several flashing beacons and radar speed feedback signs.
Since August 2012, traffic signal maintenance in the City has been provided through contracts with outside companies. The City worked with Aegis ITS for traffic signal maintenance from 2012 through 2016, and has worked closely with Siemens since 2016. In 2021, Siemens separated its Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) business into a new entity under the name of Yunex, LLC. This name change was incorporated into Amendment No. 2 to the PSA previously approved by the City Council. Staff has been very satisfied with the work Siemens/Yunex has produced throughout the entire contract term and desires to extend the contract for one additional year.
Yunex has locally-based traffic signal technicians, as well as a significant inventory of spare parts. This allows them to respond quickly in the event of an emergency or during after-hour call-outs for maintenance. Based on their prior performance, staff has elected to move forward with Yunex for an additional year without soliciting additional bids.
Yunex has asked the City to authorize a 3.0% increase in the contract costs based on an increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). This increase would represent the sixth cost increase in the contract since it began in 2016, and staff believes that the increase is supported by the regional CPI. Staff worked with the City Attorney in preparing the proposed Amendment No. 8 that is presented for the City Council’s consideration.
Municipal Code Section 3.28.080 (H) allows the City to dispense with competitive bidding when Council determines it is in the best interest of the City and states the basis for its determination. Staff completed a survey and compared the proposed labor and equipment rates of the amendment and has found that they are lower than comparable labor and equipment rates in other current bids for similar work in other jurisdictions. As such, competitive bidding would not result in lower rates than are currently available to the City.
BUDGET IMPACT
The cost for routine maintenance (monthly inspection of each traffic signal and other items) will be $110,000.64 annually. This represents an annual increase of 3.0%, as discussed above. This cost is within the proposed FY 2026-27 budget for this item and will not require any changes to the budget.
Extraordinary maintenance and emergency call-outs are estimated to cost $270,000 annually. Therefore, the proposed PSA has a “not-to-exceed” cost of $270,000 per year for extraordinary maintenance. The maintenance expenditures vary from year-to-year as they depend on the amount of extraordinary maintenance done.
The total contract amount for routine and extraordinary maintenance is expected to be up to $380,000.64 annually.
These costs are included in the proposed FY 2026-27 budget in the traffic signal maintenance account (11-560230- 6240).

ACCEPTANCE OF GRANT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION (CEC) FOR PARTICIPATION INTHE CALIFORNIA AUTOMATED PERMIT PROCESSING (CALAPP) PROGRAM AND APPROVAL OFASSOCIATED GRANT AGREEMENT
PREPARED BY PRESENTED BY
Jose Ibarra , Building and Safety Manager Matt Foulkes, Director of Community and Economic Development
DEPARTMENT HEAD APPROVAL CITY MANAGER APPROVAL
Matt Foulkes, Director of Community & Economic
Development Aaron France, City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1) Accept a grant from the California Energy Commission (CEC) for participation in the California Automated Permit Processing (CalAPP) Program in the amount of $60,000; 2) Approve the grant agreement and ratify the City Manager's signature on said grant agreement; 3) Authorize the City Manager and City Attorney to make any necessary, non-monetary changes to the agreement; and, 4) Allocate $60,000 from the undesignated General Fund balance for this purpose.
PREVIOUS CITY COUNCIL ACTION
None.
DISCUSSION
The City was awarded a $60,000 grant from the California Energy Commission (CEC) through the California Automated Permit Processing (CalAPP) Program. This program provides funding to local jurisdictions to support the adoption and ongoing implementation of automated, online permitting systems for residential solar energy systems. The City has already implemented an automated solar permitting platform, Symbium, which enables instant permit issuance for qualifying residential solar systems. This implementation has improved permitting efficiency, reduced plan review times, and enhanced service delivery for residents and contractors.
Although the Symbium platform has already been deployed, the CalAPP Program allows grant funds to be used for eligible ongoing costs associated with maintaining and enhancing the system. The Building Division intends to utilize the awarded funds to support continued use of the Symbium platform, including system integration with the City’s permitting software, staff training, and related implementation efforts. Specifically, the funding may be used to support integration between the automated solar permitting platform and the City’s permitting system, which will further streamline workflows, improve data tracking, and enhance the overall user experience.
The City was awarded $60,000 in CalAPP funding based on its population category and participation in the program. The City has already met program requirements for implementing an automated solar permitting platform and is currently listed as an active participating jurisdiction. As required by the grant program, funding will be provided on a reimbursement basis for eligible expenditures incurred after execution of the agreement. The City is responsible for demonstrating compliance with program requirements and may be required to provide reporting related to solar permitting activity.
Approval of the grant agreement will allow the City to formally accept the funding and leverage it to enhance its existing permitting infrastructure, improve operational efficiency, and continue supporting solar energy adoption within the community. The City’s participation in the CalAPP Program positions the City as a leader in adopting efficient, technology-driven permitting solutions that improve service delivery while supporting renewable energy development.
BUDGET IMPACT
The City will receive up to $60,000 in grant funding from the California Energy Commission. There is no local match required and grant funds will be reimbursed to the City based on eligible expenditures in accordance with the grant agreement. Staff recommends a budget allocation in the amount of $60,000 from the undesignated General Fund balance for this purpose.

California Automated Permit Processing (CalAPP) Program ATTACHMENT 2 – Terms and Conditions
Added language appears in bold underlined font and deleted language appears in strikethrough and within square brackets.
1. Background and Authority for this Grant
California Senate Bill 129 (2021) included an appropriation to the California Energy Commission (CEC) to support a grant program for cities, counties, or cities and counties to establish online solar permitting.
2. Documents Incorporated by Reference and Priority
Incorporated by reference into this agreement are the following documents:
A. Grant Funding Opportunity (GFO) 21-402.
B. Recipient’s application to CalAPP.
As between and the incorporated documents and the remainder of this Agreement, the rest of this Agreement takes priority in case of a conflict.
3. Budget, Invoices, and Payments
a) The CEC is only obligated to reimburse the Recipient for paid costs that are (1) incurred during the Agreement Term; (2) invoiced within the required timeframes of this Agreement; (3) not more than this Agreement’s budget; and (4) reasonable, actual, and allowable expenses under this Agreement.
b) Recipient acknowledges that the funds under this Agreement have a liquidation date of June 30, 2027, a legal timeframe after which the CEC has no authority to pay the funds. In addition, it takes the CEC administrative time to review, approve, work with the Recipient to correct any errors in, and request the State Controller’s Office to pay invoices. Accordingly, Recipient acknowledges that if it does not submit accurate invoices by March 30, 2027, for all amounts due under the Agreement, it risks not receiving payment, and relinquishes all rights to such payments should the CEC not pay it by the liquidation date. Recipient acknowledges that time is of the essence in invoicing by March 30, 2027, for all amounts due under this Agreement.
The Recipient may request payment from the Energy Commission at any time during the term of this Agreement after successful adoption of a qualifying solar permitting platform as verified by the CEC, but no more frequently than monthly. Recipient must use the CAM provided template invoice spreadsheet.
c) If invoicing for in-house staff time, the template invoice spreadsheet must identify the employee’s name, hours worked, and billing rate to be included as a reimbursable expense.

DEPARTMENT HEAD APPROVAL CITY MANAGER APPROVAL
Matt Foulkes, Director of Community & Economic
Development Aaron France, City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1) Approve a budget amendment in the amount of $25,000 for the MIP grant application fee.
PREVIOUS CITY COUNCIL ACTION
This item was discussed by City Council at the June 10, 2025, study session.
DISCUSSION
In 2023, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approved a new Microgrid Incentive Program (MIP) to be administered by investor-owned utilities such as Southern California Edison (SCE) within disadvantaged and vulnerable communities (DVCs). The MIP is a competitive grant program providing $200 million ($91.34 million to SCE customers) in funding to communities potentially affected by power outages, power shutoffs, and other disaster events. The goal of the program is to advance power critical services like fire stations, hospitals, etc.; advance climate resiliency technology; provide reliable energy to disadvantaged populations; and inform future clean energy initiatives.
Microgrid Incentive Programs Can Fund:
Up to $14 million per community microgrid project for management, engineering, and development costs, such as in front-of-the-meter batteries and clean generation resources Up to $3 million for Special Facilities-related costs
Up to $1 million for interconnection-related costs
Up to $25,000 for application development-related costs Since April 2025, City staff has worked with Clean Coalition, a non-profit organization dedicated to accelerating the transition to renewable energy, to apply for the Buena Park microgrid project. The project would include all buildings within the Civic Center (i.e. Police Department, City Hall and Community Center).
Clean Coalition charges a fee of $25,000 to prepare and submit the MIP grant application. This fee is reimbursed by the grant for application development-related costs. On April 1, 2026, SCE issued a remittance check in the amount of $25,000 to the City, which will be used to pay Clean Coalition.
BUDGET IMPACT
A budget amendment of $25,000 from the City’s undesignated General Fund balance is needed to upfront the cost of the Clean Coalition fee. A remittance check in this amount has been received by SCE.

RESOLUTION DECLARING THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 6591 BEACH BOULEVARD TO BE SURPLUSLAND PURSUANT TO GOVERMENT CODE SECTION 54220-54234

Matt Foulkes, Director of Community and Economic
Development

DEPARTMENT HEAD APPROVAL CITY MANAGER APPROVAL
Matt Foulkes, Director of Community & Economic
Development Aaron France, City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1) Adopt a Resolution declaring the City-owned real property located at 6591 Beach Boulevard, Buena Park, CA (the “Property”) to be “surplus land” pursuant to the California Surplus Land Act (California Government Code § 54220 et seq., the “SLA”).
PREVIOUS CITY COUNCIL ACTION
None.
DISCUSSION
The California Surplus Land Act (SLA) dictates the process by which state and local government agencies may dispose of real property. The SLA’s requirements apply to both general law and charter cities, as well as real property assets owned by redevelopment “successor agencies.” Before a local agency may dispose of property the City Council must first take a formal action to declare the property to be either “surplus land” or “exempt surplus land”. This determination must be made during a public meeting and supported by evidence in the record before the City Council. If a property is declared “surplus land,” the City must advertise its availability for purchase or lease to affordable housing entities, affordable housing developers, school districts, and other agencies listed in the SLA.
The SLA preserves the City’s land use and zoning authority, and the Guidelines for implementing the Surplus Land Act issued by the Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) allow the “notice of availability” to include reasonable conditions or restrictions on development of the Property that are imposed by the local agency, so long as those conditions or restrictions are reviewed in advance by HCD and do not prohibit housing.
The notice of availability period is 60-days, after which the agency must enter into a 90-day good faith negotiating period with any party responding with written interest in the subject property. If no party expresses interest in the surplus property, or if the agency is unable to reach terms with an interested party during the 90-day negotiating period, the agency is then free to dispose of the surplus land as otherwise permitted by California law and no longer needs to follow provisions of the SLA.
Staff has prepared a Resolution for the City Council’s consideration formally declaring the Property to be “surplus land” and authorizing staff to issue a notice of availability for the Property. The notice of availability would advise parties interested in developing housing on the Property of the City’s desire to see the existing building preserved, as well as its current designation as a Historical resource in the Conservation and Sustainability Element of the General Plan.
BUDGET IMPACT
There is no budget impact associated with this action.

CALIFORNIA, DECLARING CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY OWNED BY THE CITY TO BE “SURPLUS LAND” UNDER THE CALIFORNIA SURPLUS LAND ACT – 6591 BEACH BOULEVARD, BUENA PARK, CALIFORNIA
Recitals.
WHEREAS, the real property located at 6591 Beach Boulevard, Buena Park, CA (the “Property”) is improved with an approximately 1,058 square foot building that is designated Historical Resource within the City of Buena Park General Plan Conservation and Sustainability Element (Chapter 5, Table CS-1); and
WHEREAS, the City desires to market and consider offers to lease the Property subject to preservation of the building; and
WHEREAS, California’s Surplus Land Act (as amended by Assembly Bill 1486 and codified in Government Code sections 51036 et seq., the “Act”), and the Guidelines for Implementation of the Act (“Guidelines”) published by the Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”), require that the City Council, before approving the disposition of any real property owned by the City, first take formal action at a public meeting to declare the property to be “surplus land” and thereafter requires the City to comply with HCD’s disposition procedures for “surplus land”; and
WHEREAS, the Act and Guidelines authorize local agencies to impose reasonable development conditions or restrictions on the disposition of surplus land, provided any such conditions or restrictions are first reviewed by HCD and included in the City’s “notice of availability” distributed to the governmental entities and affordable housing sponsors identified in the Act; and further, the Ac t preserves the City’s local jurisdictional authority and discretion to approve land use, zoning, or entitlement decisions in connection with surplus land;
WHEREAS, the City Council has scheduled and conducted a public meeting at which it has considered staff reports and presentations, public testimony, and other evidence presented in connection with this matter, and all prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have been duly performed.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THE CITY OF BUENA PARK HEREBY FIND, DECLARE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1 . Based upon staff reports, presentations, public testimony, and other evidence presented to the City Council during the public meeting at which this item was considered, the City Council finds and declares that the foregoing recitals are true and correct and incorporated into this Resolution as substantive findings and a material part hereof; and based upon such evidence, the City Council makes the additional factual findings and declarations set forth below in this Resolution.
SECTION 2. The City Council hereby declares the Property is “surplus land” pursuant to California Government Code § 54220 et seq., provided that the development of the Property recognizes the historic
RESOLUTION NO. _______
nature of the building and mak es every reasonable effort to retain and preserve the exterior of the building, and the proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and zoning code regulations applicable to the Property, as the same may be amended in the discretion of the City Council. Following adoption of this Resolution staff is authorized and directed to follow the procedures outlined in the California Surplus Land Act for disposition of surplus property.
SECTION 3. The City Manager is authorized and directed to submit a copy of this Resolution and draft notice of availability to the California Department of Housing and Community Development for review as contemplated by the Guidelines, and to take such further actions as are reasonably necessary to effectuate the purpose of this Resolution and to satisfy the pre-disposition requirements of the Act and Guidelines relating to the Property.
SECTION 4. This Resolution has been reviewed with respect to the applicability of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”), and approval of this Resolution is not subject to CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sect ion 15060(c)(2). This action will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, as it does not commit the City to a definite course of action and thus does not constitute a formal approval of any agreement related to the Properties pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15352. Any future disposition or discretionary land use approvals relating to the Site will be subject to future CEQA review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15004, which provides direction to lead agencies on the appropriate timing for environmental review.
SECTION 5. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this resolution, which shall become effective immediately upon adoption.
