RE: City of Buena Park Response to Grand Jury Report – “PFAS and Public Awareness: A Closer Look at Orange County Drinking Water”
Dear Judge Hanson:

The Buena Park City Council has reviewed the Orange County Grand Jury’s report entitled, “PFAS and Public Awareness: A Closer Look at Orange County Drinking Water.” Below are the City of Buena Park’s responses to the aforementioned report:

FINDINGS:

F2 PFAS is widespread, and contamination has been detected in Orange County groundwater sources. Community water systems are required to report PFAS monitoring results in their annual Consumer Confidence Reports.

Response: The City of Buena Park partially agrees with this finding. Community water systems are required to report PFAS monitoring results in their annual Consumer Confidence Reports if the concentration is above a state-set Report Detection Level, consistent with requirements established by the state Division of Drinking Water.

F4 OCWD has taken a proactive leadership role in addressing PFAS in the Orange County Groundwater Basin, though PFAS treatment implementation varies across local cities and water districts.

Response: The City of Buena Park agrees with this finding. OCWD and the Producers it serves, including Buena Park, provide safe and reliable drinking water that consistently meets all state and federal drinking water standards. Despite playing no role in releasing PFAS into the environment, OCWD is working with its Producers to remove PFAS from local water supplies in order to comply with state and federal regulations. More than 100 out of 200 Producer wells within OCWD have been impacted due to various state and federal regulations. At this time, only two (2) of 19 Producer water systems have continued to report non-detects for PFAS: the cities of Seal Beach and La Palma.

6650 Beach Boulevard | P.O. Box 5009 | Buena Park, CA | 90622-5009 | [714] 562-3611 BuenaPark.com F6 Orange County drinking water meets or exceeds state and federal standards and is safe for consumption without additional home filtration.

Response: The City of Buena Park agrees with this finding. Orange County drinking water meets or exceeds state and federal standards and is safe for consumption without additional home filtration.

F8 There are limited online PFAS education and outreach programs among Orange County water retailers. Most retailers rely on OCWD for PFAS education and outreach. PFAS advisories were included in approximately 55% of the Orange County water retailers’ annual water quality reports in 2025.

Response: The City of Buena Park partially agrees with this finding. OCWD maintains a PFAS section on its website www.ocwd.com, which contains a PFAS Fact Sheet and a Quarterly PFAS Update. When requested, OCWD works with its Producers, including Buena Park, to provide agency-specific fact sheets and other information for public distribution.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

R2 By July 1, 2029, OCWD and its member agencies should monitor PFAS in groundwater and surface water sources and promptly implement PFAS treatment when response levels are exceeded. [F2, F4]
Response: The recommendation has been implemented. OCWD continues to maintain a proactive and comprehensive monitoring program for PFAS and funds treatment in cooperation with its Producers, including the City of Buena Park. These PFAS water quality monitoring efforts have continued for more than a decade and include multiple US EPA Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule programs that include PFAS (UCMR3 and UCMR5) as well as multiple PFAS monitoring orders issued by the California Division of Drinking Water. OCWD has steadily expanded PFAS monitoring to include additional drinking water wells, groundwater monitoring wells, and surface waters throughout the Orange County groundwater basin and the Santa Ana River watershed. Through these efforts, OCWD will ensure that all its Producer agencies meet the initial monitoring requirements contained within US EPA’s PFAS National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR). OCWD has continued to meet and maintain communication with many local water agencies and regulatory agencies to share PFAS monitoring results and related information.

OCWD has also performed multiple phases of pilot testing of PFAS treatment media to help Producers determine the best treatment options. OCWD has implemented a PFAS treatment policy to fund 100% of the design and construction, and 50% of the operation and maintenance costs for Producer drinking water well treatment facilities. OCWD and the Producer water systems have worked closely and collaboratively to develop this PFAS treatment policy and maintain PFAS agreements in support of the policy, resulting in implementation of treatment throughout OCWD well in advance of much of the rest of the country.

6650 Beach Boulevard | P.O. Box 5009 | Buena Park, CA | 90622-5009 | [714] 562-3611 BuenaPark.com R4 By July 1, 2029, all Orange County water retailers should consistently include a PFAS advisory, treatment facilities status, and compliance information in consumer confidence reports and on agency websites, using clear and understandable language for the public. [F2, F8] Response: The recommendation has not yet been implemented but will be implemented by July 1, 2029.

R5 By September 30, 2026, OCWD and all Orange County water retailers should enhance coordinated public education efforts to reassure their customers about drinking water safety. [F6, F8]
Response: The recommendation has not yet been implemented but will be implemented by September 20, 2026. OCWD and the City of Buena Park will continue to work together to share information with the public about drinking water safety. By the above date, the City of Buena Park will explore additional marketing methods (e.g. city website, water bill insert, etc.) that the City can implement to reassure its customers about the safety of local drinking water.

Thank you for providing the City of Buena Park the opportunity to respond to this report.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
1) Accept the project as complete and approve a final payment to Hardy and Harper, Inc. in the amount of $1,034,916.64; 2) Direct the Public Works Department to file a Notice of Completion; and, 3) Authorize a budget transfer in the amount of $115,000 from the Commonwealth Avenue budget (Account No. 24-9806-590190) for this purpose.

PREVIOUS CITY COUNCIL ACTION
On March 10, 2026, the City Council approved a contract with Hardy and Harper, Inc. in the amount of $1,850,000 for the Dale Street Rehabilitation Project from Crescent Avenue to SR-91. The approved total construction project budget of $1,990,000 included a $140,000 construction contingency. Additionally, the City of Buena Park and the City of Anaheim entered into a cooperative agreement under which the City of Anaheim agreed to reimburse the City of Buena Park for its proportionate share of the construction costs, with an estimated reimbursement amount not-to-exceed $56,000, plus a 10% contingency of $5,600, for a total authorized amount of $61,600.

DISCUSSION
The Dale Street Rehabilitation Project from Crescent Avenue to SR-91 has been completed. The project included asphalt pavement rehabilitation, removal and replacement of damaged curb and gutter, cross gutters, sidewalks, and curb ramps that are not compliant with ADA standards; and utility adjustments. Additional improvements included the installation of new Class II bike lanes from La Palma Avenue to the cul-de-sac near the SR-91 freeway, new enhanced visibility crosswalks, and additional signage in accordance with the CA MUTCD.

Contract Dates
Advertisement: 02/09/2026
Contract Awarded: 03/10/2026
Notice to Proceed: 04/21/2026
Work Completed: 07/22/2026
The contractor has submitted a bill for work completed as of July 23, 2026. All items, quantities, and prices have been reviewed and verified to be in accordance with the contract documents. The final payment is in the amount of $1,034,916.64. The final contract cost for this project is $1,943,546.65. This amount is $46,453.35 (or 2.3%) under the approved construction project budget of $1,990,000. The total retention is in the amount of $97,177.33 and will be released following the expiration of the 35-day lien period. An analysis of expenditures is listed in Appendix “A” – Capital Improvement Project Final Report.

It is hereby recommended that the City Council accept the project as complete.

BUDGET IMPACT
The final cost of the project is $1,943,546.65. This project was included in the Capital Improvement Program budget that is funded through Gas Tax and Measure M2 funds in the Dale Street Rehabilitation budget (Account No. 24-9806-590189).

In accordance with the Cooperative Agreement, the City of Buena Park will receive reimbursement from the City of Anaheim in the amount of $56,354.

During project closeout, staff identified that the design consultant costs were inadvertently omitted from the overall Project budget during project award. As a result, a budget transfer in the amount of $115,000 from the Commonwealth Avenue budget (Account No. 24-9806-590190) to the Dale Street Rehabilitation Project Account is required to fully fund the Project and close out all project-related expenditures.

DISCUSS AND PROVIDE DIRECTION REGARDING LOCAL RESTAURANTS AND BUSINESSES AT CITY

DISCUSSION
At the request of Council Member Ahn, this item is being brought forward for City Council consideration regarding opportunities to increase participation by local restaurants and businesses at City-sponsored special events.

The City currently utilizes a variety of food vendors to provide food and refreshments at several special events throughout the year. At the Summer Concerts in the Park, Movies in the Park, Cops N Goblins, Christmas Tree Lighting, and Juneteenth Celebration of Freedom events, food trucks are currently utilized to provide food options to the community. Food trucks offer a variety of food choices, and City staff verifies that participating food trucks maintain a valid Orange County Health Care Agency (OCHCA) permit. These events are conducted in compliance with applicable health rules and regulations established by the OCHCA.

At the Buena Park Culture Fest, Spring Eggstravaganza and Candy Caneland & Craft Fair, local restaurants and non-profit organizations currently participate by selling food to event attendees. City staff verifies that the participating food vendors obtain a valid OCHCA permit, which is included with the City's event permit. These events are also conducted in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations established by the OCHCA.

Additionally, these events provide an existing opportunity for local businesses and organizations to engage directly with the community and promote their products and services.

Historically, many City events have utilized food trucks because food trucks are subject to established OCHCA permitting and inspection requirements. Expanding participation to include brick-and-mortar restaurants and other food vendors may require additional permitting and operational considerations.

Restaurants and other non-food-truck vendors that prepare or serve food at special events are generally required to obtain a Temporary Food Facility (TFF) permit through OCHCA. OCHCA has established different TFF permit categories based on the type of food preparation and service involved. For example, a restaurant that prepares food onsite or brings prepared food for service at an event may fall under Category II requirements. Based on the current OCHCA fee schedule, the annual permit fee for this category is $640, or vendors may obtain a permit on an event-by-event basis for $217 per event.

In addition to obtaining the appropriate permit, vendors must comply with OCHCA requirements for safe food preparation and handling. Depending on the type of food service, requirements may include handwashing facilities, overhead protection, approved flooring, appropriate booth identification, and a three-compartment sink. The applicable OCHCA requirements are included in Attachments 1 and 2.

These requirements may present additional costs and logistical considerations for local restaurants and businesses that have not previously participated in City events. However, establishing a process that clearly communicates the permitting requirements and provides local businesses with advance notice could help facilitate their participation.

In an effort to further support Buena Park's local business community, the City Council may wish to consider prioritizing local restaurants and businesses when selecting food and other vendors for City-sponsored special events. Increasing local business participation could provide businesses with additional opportunities to promote their products and services, establish relationships with residents, and benefit from the increased visibility associated with City-sponsored events.

One potential approach would be to provide Buena Park-based restaurants and businesses with priority consideration for participation in applicable City special events before seeking participation from outside vendors.

City staff could establish appropriate participation criteria and procedures to ensure that local businesses are provided an opportunity to participate while maintaining event quality, food and vendor variety, operational efficiency, public safety, and compliance with all applicable health and safety requirements.

Staff is seeking direction from the City Council regarding whether the City should prioritize Buena Park restaurants and businesses for participation at City-sponsored special events.

OVERVIEW OF TEMPORARY FOOD FACILITY (FOOD BOOTH) REQUIREMENTS Anytime food or drinks is sold or given away to the public at a community event, a health permit is required. The type of health permit and the requirements for the operation of a food booth will depend on the type of food that is being offered.

A community event is an event that is conducted for not more than 25 consecutive or nonconsecutive days in a 90-day period and that is of civic, political, public, or educational nature, including state and county fairs, city festivals, circuses and other public gathering events approved by Orange County Environmental Health (OCEH). A grand opening, a store give-away event, or any other event that is designed to increase, celebrate, or promote a business is not a community event.

This handout summarizes the California Retail Food Code requirements and is intended to assist you in providing safe and wholesome food to the public and preventing foodborne illness.

All food vendors MUST comply with the following requirements during preparation and all hours of operation. All TFFs are subject to inspection by OCEH. Failure to comply with these operating requirements may result in a closure until violations are corrected.

RESPONSE PILOT PROGRAM TO SUPPORT THE BUENA PARK POLICE DEPARTMENT COMMUNICATIONS CENTER

DISCUSSION
The Buena Park Police Department Communications Center provides exceptional service to Buena Park residents, businesses, and visitors. In 2025, the Communications Center received over 67,000 calls from the community. Of those calls, approximately 41,000 (or 61%) were non-emergency, and 26,000 (or 39%) were 9-1-1 emergencies.

Despite their continued dedication and professionalism, the Communications Center faces persistent challenges, including mandatory overtime, employee burnout, staff turnover, and an extensive training process that takes approximately six months to one year for a new dispatcher to become fully trained. These challenges highlight the need for additional resources to support dispatchers and enhance service levels.

In an effort to identify potential solutions, the Police Department has researched several automated call-handling platforms that are specifically designed for public safety communications centers. These systems utilize artificial intelligence (AI) and real-time data to assist with answering non-emergency calls, provide automated transcription services, support language translation, and guide callers through scripted questions based on the nature of their needs or concern. Additionally, live guidance 9-1-1 call-taking provides a “copilot” to guide dispatchers during a 9- 1-1 call, helping ensure that all appropriate information is received and best practices are met.

The Department's due diligence included an evaluation of three established vendors in this industry: Motorola Hyper, Axon Prepared, and Aurelian’s AVA & CORA. The Communications Center’s leadership and management consulted with all three vendors and received demonstrations and cost proposals from each. Based on the Department's review, Aurelian was identified as the preferred vendor because it was the only vendor to offer a oneyear pilot program for both automated call-taking and assistive 9-1-1 at a substantial discount. A one-year agreement would allow the Department to test and evaluate the technology, gauge community and employee feedback, and evaluate Aurelian’s platform and customer service.

Currently, in California, the El Cajon Police Department and National City Police Department use the Aurelian platform. Staff conducted an on-site visit at the El Cajon Police Department and spoke with Communications Center personnel regarding their experience. El Cajon provided positive feedback, reporting that its staff are pleased with the call-handling solution and the ongoing support provided by Aurelian. The community has also responded favorably, and the agency has experienced a noticeable reduction in calls handled by Communications Center personnel.

Importantly, this technology is intended to augment and support, not replace Department personnel.

Implementation of this system will not result in the elimination of any full-time positions, but instead will be a tool that allows the Department's skilled communications team to provide accurate and efficient assistance to those most urgently in need. If the City Council supports the implementation of the platform, the Police Department would continue to maintain its established staffing requirements and actively recruit to fill all full-time vacancies. This technology would allow dispatchers to focus on 9-1-1 emergencies, monitor and respond to radio communications, and allow lead dispatchers to supervise and oversee operations. Aurelian reports that the system has the potential to reduce non-emergency call volume handled by dispatchers by up to 70 percent. Consistent with Assembly Bill 339, this project was previously presented and discussed with representatives of the Buena Park Police Association, who were also provided with a copy of this report.

If supported by the City Council, the year one pilot program would cost approximately $25,000.

Alternatively, Aurelian has extended a special introductory offer for a three-year contract: with the first year being the pilot program at a cost of $25,000, and if the City were satisfied with the platform, it would have the option to extend the contract for two additional years at a discounted rate of $63,000 each year. So long as the City retains the ability to terminate the contract at the end of the first year, staff believes the three-year term is likely to provide better value to the City long-term. If the Department finds the Aurelian platform to be beneficial to the Communications Center during the pilot year, the three-year contract option will allow the City to continue using the services at this previously established discounted rate. The first year cost under either scenario would be funded with Asset Forfeiture funds.

If the one-year pilot program is supported by the City Council, staff would work with the City Attorney to finalize the contract with Aurelian for the City Manager's signature. If the City Council prefers the three-year term option, staff would finalize the contract and bring it back at the next meeting for the City Council's consideration.

Staff will provide a brief demonstration of the product at the study session.
