Memorandum
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Scott Smith, Public Works Director
DATE: January 30, 2024
SUBJECT: Study Session on Orange County Power Authority (OCPA) ______________________________________________________________________________ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On November 16, 2023, the City Council held a strategic planning session with the executive management team and department managers. Those in attendance collaborated to establish the City’s six-month strategic planning objectives for November 16, 2023 through May 23, 2024. One of the selected priorities listed in the Six-Month Strategic Objectives Matrix is “Present more information on Orange County Power Authority and its program for City Council consideration.” This priority falls within the ENHANCE THE CULTURE AND ENVIRONMENT OF “A NICE PLACE TO LIVE” three-year goal.
DISCUSSION:
City of Fountain Valley homes and businesses are powered by Southern California Edison (SCE) infrastructure and electricity. Presently, SCE has limited opportunities for customers to participate in their Green Rate program to purchase renewable energy.
Orange County Power Authority (OCPA) is a locally governed not-for-profit Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) agency that provides Orange County businesses and residents with choices to invest in renewable energy.
This Study Session includes renewable energy program presentations from SCE and OCPA staff. The City Council will be provided the opportunity to ask each company questions about their respective programs.
Staff is seeking direction from City Council to:
1. Allocate staff time toward taking the next steps to join OCPA, or
2. Monitor and wait for a future opportunity to join OCPA, or
3. Cease efforts toward joining OCPA.

Update on SCE’s Programs to Help Customers Go Green
Southern California Edison
Green Rate Overview• A voluntary clean energy rate program for Residential and Non- Residential customers that supports renewable energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions associated with your electricity usage.• For an additional cost, you can choose to purchase clean power for a portion (50%) or all (100%) of your electricity use.• SCE will purchase solar energy on your behalf from local developers.• The Green Rate and Community Renewables clean energy rate programs are both Green-e Energy certified.• Green-e Energy certification guarantees that our programs meet strict environmental and consumer protection standards.• Bundled service customers, meaning those who pay SCE for generation, transmission, and distribution services, are eligible. 2 Southern California Edison
Current Status of the Green Rate Program• SCE’s Green Rate Program is currently not accepting new customers. • Customers who wish to participate are being put on a wait list.• Customer interest in the program has exceeded the procured amount of available capacity.• SCE held a solicitation on September 30, 2022, for a Request For Offers for new projects for Green Rate; however, no bids met the eligibility requirements.• On August 26, 2022, SCE filed a Petition to Modify D.15-01-051 with the CPUC requesting permission to use interim resources to meet the increased customer interest in the program but we have not received a decision as of today. • SCE also has an application at the CPUC for a new Green Share Program.• We anticipate a decision sometime in the second half of 2024. 3 Southern California Edison
Community Renewables Program
• Community Renewables program allows
customers to work directly with developers to subscribe to a portion of a renewable project and receive bill credits from SCE based on their portion of the project’s generation • Current projects are fully subscribed, but
32 MW of new projects are scheduled to come online in 2024. • Customers who are interested in the 2024
projects can contact the developer directly at [email protected]. 4 Southern California Edison

Power Charge Indifference Adjustment
10 • PCIA is a ratemaking mechanism instituted to ensure that bundled service customers are indifferent when departing load customers leave and choose generation services from a different provider, e.g. CCA formation • Ensures the above-market costs associated with prior resource commitments are not avoided by departing load customers, and therefore shifted to the remaining utility customers
• Not quite accurately labeled by the media and CCAs as an “exit fee” charge• Calculated annually, and costs collected directly from customer bills through a PCIA charge • Is intended to recover the “above-market costs” in an equitable manner• The “fair” market value of certain eligible resources can be hard to quantify creating differences in what departing load entities consider appropriate above market costs

History and Overview
• Assembly Bill 117 passed in 2002 to establish
Community Choice Aggregation (CCA)
• AB 117 introduced competition and choice into the
energy market where there was none before
• Allows communities to join together to give residents and businesses the opportunity to choose their electric provider and how much renewable energy they want to procure to put onto the grid 5 Community Choice Aggregation
14 million people
in 200 communitiesare currently benefiting from community choice aggregation.A growing movement. • Bring choice and competition to the energy
market
• Competitive energy costs• Local control over power, programs, and rates• Local economic development, job creation, training
• Local reinvestment, designing programs that
respond specifically to local need
• Putting more renewable energy onto the grid at
a faster rate than for-profit utilities

OCPA FY2023/24 Operating Budget
22 Key Notes:FY2023/24 is a balanced budget with net position of $41.1mil or 12.5% of revenueCost of Energy is projected at $271.9mil or 82.6% of revenueNon-Power Supply Expenses are projected at $16.1mil or 4.9% of revenue OCPA's primary source of revenue stems from the retail sale of electricity to customers, facilitated through OCPA’s generation rates. These rates are strategically devised to cover various costs, including power procurement, operating expenses, nonoperating, capital expenditures, and the funding of the rate stabilization reserve. • Demand Forecast: total retail
load consumption is estimated at 2,585 GWh, inclusive of the residential customers from the Cities of Buena Park, Fullerton, Huntington Beach, and Irvine • 2023 OCPA Rates (July
through December 2023):based on the Board approved 2023 Rate Design on December 13, 2022:
• 2024 and Future OCPA
Revenues: sufficient to cover the costs of power purchase, operational expenses, debt services, and targeted reserves OCPA Revenue Assumptions - Key Highlights
OCPA customers have three rate options. All customers pay the Basic Choice rate as a base, and customers opting into Smart Choice or 100% Renewable Choice pay a renewable adder on top of the Basic Choice rates:
1) Basic Choice = Basic Choice rates with no additional adder 2) Smart Choice* = Basic Choice rates with 1c/kWh adder 3) 100% Renewable Choice* = Basic Choice rates with
1.5c/kWh adder
OCPA Revenue Assumptions2023 Rate Design
The 2% discount to SCE’s equivalent generation rates is applied to the Basic Choice rates and lowers the Basic Choice rates for all customers.* Key Fact: SCE customers desiring to receive service with a higher renewable content must opt into SCE’s Green Tariff Shared Renewables program (Green Rate Program). However, this program is currently closed to new customers as interest in the program exceeded the procured amount of available capacity. New customers applying for Green Rate Program will be placed on a waitlist. Currently, out of approximately 5,000,000 accounts in the entire SCE service area, only around 3,000 accounts are currently enrolled in the Green Rate Program.Therefore, it is not feasible to compare OCPA Smart Choice and 100% Renewable Choice with the closedSCE’s Green Rate program. 24 ● OCPA has built a Rate Stabilization Reserve Fund (RSF) with the primary objective of establishing a long-term financial plan to obtain an investment-grade credit rating and secure energy procurement at competitive prices. Additionally, the RSF ensures stable rates for OCPA’s customers. Functioning as a safeguard, the RSF will absorb any surplus or deficiency that may arise in each fiscal year. In cases where necessary, OCPA may make withdrawals from the RSF to maintain competitive rates or address emergencies, subject to board approval. ● In the first year of full operations for OCPA, FY23/24, the projected RSF balance is estimated to be $88 million, equivalent to 31% of the total operating budget expenditures. Over the course of three years of full operations, it is anticipated that the RSF balance will grow and meet the reserve target equivalent to 50% of the total operating budget expenditures by the end of FY26/27. Meeting this target will enable OCPA to initiate the credit rating application process with S&P Global, further enhancing its financial position and credibility.
Note: This 5-year outlook is modeling based on the removal of Huntington Beach and is subject to changes as new information is available regarding the market cost of energy, PCIA, and other industry expenditures. 5-Year OCPA Financial PerformaRate Stabilization Reserve Fund Trend 25 ● Town Hall presentations (in-person and virtual)

CITY COUNCIL
COUNCIL ACTION REQUEST
To: Honorable Mayor and Agenda Date: January 30, 2024
Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: Second Read and Adoption of An Ordinance Adding Chapters 4.35 Group Homes and 21.29 Group Homes and Amending Section 21.08.030 Residential Zoning District Land Uses and Permit Requirements to the Fountain Valley Municipal Code
Three-Year Strategic Goals
☒ Enhance the culture and environment of “A Nice Place to Live” ☐ Attract and retain revenue producing businesses
☐ Achieve fiscal stability in accordance with the 20-Year Financial Plan ☐ Attract and retain quality staff
☐ Not applicable
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Proposed for second read and adoption by the City Council is an amendment to the Fountain Valley Municipal Code (“F.V.M.C.”) adding sections 4.35 Group Homes and 21.29 Group Homes and amending section 21.08.030 Residential Zoning District land Uses and Permit Requirements to provide for zoning regulations and permit requirements for group homes in accordance with State law.
During a noticed public hearing on September 19, 2023, the City Council approved the first reading and introduction of this ordinance without amendment. If approved, the ordinance will take effect in 30 days.
DISCUSSION:
The City Council directed staff to prepare draft regulations governing sober living facilities for City Council consideration, based on the regulations adopted by the City of Costa Mesa in 2014. The proposed ordinance is modeled after the City of Costa Mesa’s ordinance.
Over the past several years the City of Fountain Valley, Orange County and State of California have seen a significant increase in the number of single- and multi-family homes being utilized as alcohol and drug recovery facilities for large numbers of individuals (“sober living homes”).
The City of Fountain Valley has seen a steady increase in the number of sober living facilities operating in its single-family residences. The purpose of sober living homes is to provide a
Ordinance Adding Chapters 4.35 Group Homes and 21.29 Group Homes and Amending Section 21.08.030 Residential Zoning District Land Uses and Permit Requirements January 30, 2024
comfortable living environment for persons with drug or alcohol addictions in which they remain clean and sober and can participate in a recovery program in a residential, community environment, and so that they can reside in the residential neighborhood of their choice.
The rapidly increasing number of sober living homes in the City of Fountain Valley has led to an overconcentration of sober living homes in certain areas of the City’s residential neighborhoods, which is both deleterious to the residential character of these neighborhoods and may also lead to the institutionalization of such neighborhoods. As a result, the City continues to receive comments and concerns from members of the public regarding the lack of local regulations governing these facilities, and staff continues to receive reports regarding neighbors experiencing adverse impacts from these facilities, including, but not limited to, noise, excessive debris/trash, second-hand smoke, loitering, traffic, increased parking demands, and the clustering of group homes near each other. The clustering of these homes can have the effect of altering the residential character of neighborhoods so that it appears more institutional and business-oriented in nature.
There is also a legitimate interest in protecting the vulnerable clients of these facilities, who are persons in alcohol and drug recovery. Without regulations, oversight, and government control, persons are being taken advantage of by business-oriented facility operators, who care more about their profit than the health and wellbeing of the persons residing in their facilities. Persons in recovery are being exploited for their insurance money and financial gain to the disadvantage of the persons residing in the facilities as well as the surrounding neighborhood.
Accordingly, the proposed ordinance seeks to regulate group homes and sober living facilities to curb these evils, providing a safe space for persons to recover from drug and alcohol addiction and preserving the residential character of neighborhoods. The proposed ordinance regulates group homes and sober living homes in accordance with State and Federal law.
State and Federal Law
The California Constitution gives cities broad police powers to preserve the characteristics of residential zones. The Federal Fair Housing Act (“FHAA”) and California Fair Employment Housing Act (“FEHA”) prohibit enforcement of zoning ordinances which on their face discriminate, or have the effect of discriminating, against equal housing opportunities for persons with disabilities. Persons recovering from alcohol and drug addiction, who are not currently using alcohol or drugs, are considered persons with disabilities under both the FHAA and FEHA. The FHAA and FEHA also require that the City provide reasonable accommodations to its zoning ordinances if such accommodation is necessary to afford a handicapped person an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling.
The California Lanterman Act requires cities to treat state licensed residential care facilities serving six or fewer as a residential use, meaning the City cannot impose any zoning restrictions on state licensed residential care facilities that it does not impose on other
Ordinance Adding Chapters 4.35 Group Homes and 21.29 Group Homes and Amending Section 21.08.030 Residential Zoning District Land Uses and Permit Requirements January 30, 2024
residences.1 A city also cannot impose zoning restrictions, or occupancy limits for unrelated persons who live together that do not also apply to other single-family residences, if the unrelated persons live together as a single housekeeping unit.2 If a group of people living together can meet the definition of a “household” or “family,” there is no limit on the number of people who are permitted to live together, except for Housing Code limits.
Proposed Regulations on Group Homes and Sober Living Facilities The proposed ordinance excludes state licensed care facilities and any group home and/or sober living home that operates as a single housekeeping unit from its zoning restrictions and permit requirements. Facilities that are licensed by the state or households that operate as a single housekeeping unit will not be regulated by this ordinance in compliance with State law.
Group homes with six or fewer residents in the R1, GH, R2, R3, and R4 zones will have to obtain a special use permit. Group homes with seven or more residents are not permitted in the R1 zone. Group homes with seven or more residents in the GH, R2, R3, and R4 zones must obtain a conditional use permit and an operator’s permit.
Permits will not be issued pursuant to the ordinance unless there is a 650-foot separation between the applicant’s group home and any other sober living home or a state licensed alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facility. All occupants, other than the house manager, must be actively participating in a legitimate recovery program. A permit will not be issued if the owner/operator or staff person is a sex offender, violent felon, or drug dealer.
Additional requirements include a 24-hour house manager present at the group home on a day to day basis, transportation for evicted residents to their permanent address, and prohibition of the use of any alcohol or any non-prescription drug at the sober living home or by any resident either on or off site.
In addition, existing group homes must apply for a special use permit within 90 days of the effective date of the ordinance. Group home and sober living home operators may seek relief from any section of the ordinance by requesting a reasonable accommodation pursuant to Fountain Valley Municipal Code section 21.08.060.
Planning Commission Review and Recommendation:
On February 8, 2023, the Planning Commission, at a duly noticed public hearing, heard the proposed Ordinance, and voted 5-0 to recommend the adoption of the Ordinance by the City Council with the guidance that the imposition of greater fines for violators be looked into by staff. On March 7, 2023, the City Council continued the ordinance and directed the Attorneys for the City to bring it back at a later date after there had been developments in the Costa Mesa litigation.

PERMIT REQUIREMENTS TO THE FOUNTAIN VALLEY
MUNICIPAL CODE
WHEREAS, under the California Constitution, Article XI, Section 7, the City has been granted broad police powers to preserve the residential characteristics of its R1, GH, R2, R3, and R4 zones, which powers have been recognized by both the California Supreme Court and United States Supreme Court, the latter of which has stated that, “It is within the power of the legislature to determine that the community should be beautiful as well as healthy, spacious as well as clean, well-balanced as well as carefully patrolled;” WHEREAS, the Federal Fair Housing Act Amendments (“FHAA”) and the California Fair Employment Housing Act (“FEHA”) prohibit enforcement of zoning ordinances which on their face discriminate, or have the effect of discriminating, against equal housing opportunities for persons with disabilities; WHEREAS, a core purpose of the FHAA, FEHA and California’s Lanterman Act is to provide a broader range of housing opportunities to persons with disabilities; to free persons with disabilities, to the extent possible, from institutional style living; and to ensure that persons with disabilities have the opportunity to live in normal residential surroundings and use and enjoy a dwelling in a manner similar to the way a dwelling is enjoyed by others;
WHEREAS, to fulfill this purpose the FHAA and FEHA also require that the City provide reasonable accommodations to its zoning ordinances if such accommodation is necessary to afford a handicapped person an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling;
WHEREAS, the Lanterman Act fulfills this purpose in part by requiring cities to treat state licensed residential care facilities serving six or fewer as a residential use; WHEREAS, in enacting this Ordinance the City Council of the City of Fountain Valley is attempting to strike a balance between the City’s and residents’ interests of preserving the characteristics of residential neighborhoods and to provide opportunities for persons with disabilities to reside in such neighborhoods that are enjoyed by others; WHEREAS, over the past several years the City, County and State have seen a significant increase in the number of single- and multi-family homes being utilized as alcohol and drug recovery facilities for large numbers of individuals (hereafter, “sober living homes”);
WHEREAS, the increase appears to be driven in part by the Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act of 2000 (hereafter, “the Act”) adopted by California voters which provides that specified first-time drug and alcohol offenders are to be afforded the opportunity to receive substance abuse treatment rather than incarceration; WHEREAS, the Affordable Care Act has significantly expanded the availability of health care coverage for substance abuse treatment;
WHEREAS, the City of Fountain Valley has seen a sharp increase in the number of sober living homes, which has generated secondary impacts including, but not limited to neighborhood parking shortfalls, overcrowding, inordinate amounts of second-hand smoke, and noise; and the clustering of sober living facilities in close proximity to each other creating near neighborhoods of sober living homes; WHEREAS, over the last decade the number of sober living homes in the City of Fountain Valley is rapidly increasing, leading to an overconcentration of sober living homes in certain of the City’s residential neighborhoods, which is both deleterious to the residential character of these neighborhoods and may also lead to the institutionalization of such neighborhoods;
WHEREAS, the purpose of sober living homes is to provide a comfortable living environment for persons with drug or alcohol addictions in which they remain clean and sober and can participate in a recovery program in a residential, community environment, and so that they have the opportunity to reside in the residential neighborhood of their choice;
WHEREAS, recovering alcoholics and drug addicts, who are not currently using alcohol or drugs, are considered persons with disabilities under both the FHAA and FEHA;
WHEREAS, based on the City’s experience it has become clear that at least some operators of sober living homes are driven more by a motivation to profit rather than to provide a comfortable living environment in which recovering addicts have a realistic potential of recovery, or to provide a living environment which remotely resembles the manner in which the non-disabled use and enjoy a dwelling; WHEREAS, persons with drug and/or alcohol addictions are an extremely vulnerable population and City desires to protect these persons from, based on City’s experience, sober living home operators, who are interested solely in profit and have been exploiting persons in recovery for insurance money and financial gain to the disadvantage of the person as well as the surrounding neighborhood;
WHEREAS, establishing distance requirements for sober living homes is reasonable and non-discriminatory and not only helps preserve the residential character of the R1, GH, R2, R3, and R4 zones; as well as the planned development residential neighborhoods, but also furthers the interest of ensuring that persons with disabilities are
not living in overcrowded environments that are counterproductive to their well-being and recovery;
WHEREAS, sober living homes do not function as a single housekeeping unit for the following reasons: (1) they house extremely transient populations (programs are generally about 90 days and a 2008 UCLA study found that 65-70% of recovering addicts don’t finish their recovery programs); (2) the residents generally have no established ties to each other when they move in and typically do not mingle with other neighbors; (3) neighbors generally do not know who or who does not reside in the home; (4) the residents have little to no say about who lives or doesn’t live in the home; (5) the residents do not generally share expenses; (6) the residents are often responsible for their own food, laundry and phone; (7) when residents disobey house rules they are often just kicked out of the house; (8) the residents generally do not share the same acquaintances; and (9) residents often pay significantly above market rate rents; WHEREAS, because of their extremely transient populations, above-normal numbers of individuals/adults residing in a single dwelling and the lack of regulations, sober living facilities present problems not typically associated with more traditional residential uses, including but not limited to: the housing of large numbers of unrelated adults who may or may not be supervised; disproportionate numbers of cars associated with a single housing unit, which causes disproportionate traffic and utilization of on-street parking; excessive noise and outdoor smoking, which interferes with the use and enjoyment of neighbors’ use of their property; neighbors who have little to no idea who does and does not reside in the home; little to no participation in community activities that form and strengthen neighborhood cohesion; a history of opening facilities in complete disregard of the Fountain Valley Municipal Code and with little regard for impacts to the neighborhood; disproportional impacts from the average dwelling unit to nearly all public services including sewer, water, parks, libraries, transportation infrastructure, fire and police; a history of congregating in the same general area; and the potential influx of individuals with a criminal record;
WHEREAS, a variable separation requirement will still allow for a reasonable market for the purchase and operation of sober living homes within the City and still result in preferential treatment for sober living homes in that individuals in a similar living situation (i.e., in boardinghouse-style residences) have fewer housing opportunities than persons with disabilities;
WHEREAS, housing inordinately large numbers of unrelated adults in a single dwelling or congregating sober living homes in close proximity to each other does not provide persons with disabilities with an opportunity to “live in normal residential surroundings,” but rather places them into living environments bearing more in common with the types of institutional/campus/dormitory living that the FEHA and FHAA were designed to provide relief from for persons with disabilities, and which no reasonable person could contend provides a life in a normal residential surrounding;
WHEREAS, notwithstanding the above, the City Council recognizes that while not in character with residential neighborhoods, when operated responsibly, group homes, including sober living homes, provide a societal benefit by providing persons with disabilities the opportunity to live in residential neighborhoods, as well as providing recovery programs for individuals attempting to overcome their drug and alcohol addictions, and that therefore providing greater access to residential zones to group homes, including sober living homes, than to boardinghouses or any other type of group living provides a benefit to the City and its residents; WHEREAS, without some regulation there is no way of ensuring that the individuals entering into a group home are persons with disabilities and entitled to reasonable accommodation under local and state law; that a group home is operated professionally to minimize impacts to the surrounding neighborhood; and that the secondary impacts from over concentration of both group homes in a neighborhood and large numbers of unrelated adults residing in a single facility in an individual home are lessened;
WHEREAS, in addition to group homes locating in residential neighborhoods other state-licensed residential care facilities for six or fewer persons who are mentally disabled or otherwise disabled or supervised, are also taking up residence in these neighborhoods; WHEREAS, the purpose of group homes for persons with disabilities is to provide persons with disabilities an equal opportunity to comfortably reside in the residential neighborhood of their choice; and
WHEREAS, this Ordinance has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the CEQA guidelines, and the City’s environmental procedures, and has been found to be exempt pursuant to Section 15061 (b)(3) (General Rule) of the CEQA Guidelines, in that the City Council hereby finds that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the passage of this Ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Fountain Valley does hereby ORDAIN as follows:
Section 1:
Fountain Valley Municipal Code Chapter 4.35 “Group Homes” is hereby added to read as follows:

“Single housekeeping unit” means that the occupants of a dwelling unit have established ties and familiarity with each other, jointly use common areas, interact with each other, share meals, household activities, and expenses and responsibilities; membership in the single housekeeping unit is fairly stable as opposed to transient, members have some control over who becomes a member of the household, and the residential activities of the household are conducted on a nonprofit basis.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The County of Orange Mile Square Park in Fountain Valley and Centennial Park in Santa Ana have the potential of large crowds for the following holidays:
February 9-11 TET Festival
March 31 Easter
May 5 Cinco de Mayo
May 12 Mother’s Day
May 27 Memorial Day
July 4 Independence Day
September 2 Labor Day
Staff has been working with the County regarding parking and traffic issues. Due to the potential parking impact to the surrounding neighborhoods, Staff recommends that Council authorize a Preferential Permit Parking Resolution for neighborhoods adjacent to Mile Square Park and Fountain Valley residences within close proximity to Centennial Park (map attachments A1-A6) for the dates listed above.
Preferential Permit Parking
January 30, 2024
DISCUSSION:
Depending on the event location, the City historically implements a Preferential Permit Parking system in neighborhoods closest to the Recreation Center and/or Mile Square Park. In recent years, it has also become necessary to provide Preferential Permit Parking for the Fountain Valley neighborhood closest to Centennial Park. The City has implemented Preferential Permit Parking on major holidays due to large crowds at both parks at the request of the residents in these neighborhoods. Such large crowds would overwhelm available residential parking if not restricted. Staff recommends Council approve a Resolution and direct Staff to implement Preferential Permit Parking for the above dates.
The Police Department will distribute Preferential Permit Parking decals that are valid indefinitely. Residents are instructed to apply the decals in the lower left rear window of their vehicle. Additional parking decals are available at the Police Department upon request and proof of residency. Guest passes, which can also be obtained from the Police Department upon request by a resident, are to be clearly displayed on the dash of the guest’s vehicle.
There is no fee for the decals.
FISCAL REVIEW:
There is no fiscal impact related to this item.

4 I. Introduction
This specified grant originated from a line item in the State of California Budget for fiscal year 2023-24.

• Project Completion Packets: Submit by: January 31, 2027 Grant Process Detail
1. Resolution: APPLICANT sends resolution to OGALS by December 31, 2024, to allow approval within the CONTRACT ENCUMBRANCE PERIOD, which ends June 30, 2025.
2. CONTRACT: OGALS sends CONTRACT to APPLICANT. APPLICANT becomes GRANTEE when CONTRACT is fully executed during CONTRACT ENCUMBRANCE PERIOD. a. The CONTRACT section includes a sample contract and the contract provisions.
b. The APPLICANT must return the CONTRACT signed by the AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE to OGALS no later than January 31, 2025. The APPLICANT becomes a GRANTEE when the CONTRACT is signed by OGALS. c. OGALS returns a copy of the fully executed CONTRACT to the GRANTEE.
3. APPLICATION PACKET(s): The GRANTEE defines the SCOPE(s) and amount of grant funds needed for each PROJECT. As PROJECTS are identified, the GRANTEE may submit individual APPLICATION PACKET(s) to OGALS. OGALS reviews each APPLICATION PACKET and sends a letter of approval to the GRANTEE or requests additional information.
After each PROJECT is approved by OGALS, OGALS will send a Status Report to the GRANTEE approximately every six months until OGALS receives a PROJECT COMPLETION PACKET. The GRANTEE must return the Status Report within thirty
5 (30) days from receipt. Payment requests will not be processed if Status Reports are overdue.
4. Payments and end of GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD: GRANTEE requests payments for ELIGIBLE COSTS. OGALS recommends that GRANTEE provide all PROJECT COMPLETION PACKET(S) no later than January 31, 2027. The grant payments section provides payment request instructions and forms. a. The GRANTEE may request payments after each PROJECT is approved by OGALS. GRANT funds may only be expended on ELIGIBLE COSTS incurred within the GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD.
b. The GRANTEE completes PROJECT SCOPE(s) and sends PROJECT COMPLETION PACKET(s) to OGALS no later than January 31, 2027.
c. The State of California receives a high volume of payment requests at the end of the fiscal year. If the PROJECT COMPLETION PACKET is received after January 31, 2027, OGALS cannot guarantee final payment by the State Controller’s Office. If the State Controller’s Office is unable to process the payment before the end of the GRANT PERFORMANCE PERIOD, the unpaid balance of grant funds will revert to the Legislature.
d. OGALS processes the final payment request after each PROJECT is complete as documented by the GRANTEE in the PROJECT COMPLETION PACKET, and as verified by OGALS when conducting a final site inspection.
5. Accounting and Audit: DPR’s Audits Office may conduct an audit. The GRANTEE is required to retain all PROJECT records for five years following receipt of the final GRANT payment. The Accounting and Audit Section provides directions and an Audit Checklist for DPR audit and accounting requirements.
6 Authorizing Resolution
GRANTEE passes one resolution approving the filing of applications associated with theCONTRACT and forwards a copy to OGALS.
The Authorizing Resolution on the following page may be reformatted; however, the language provided in the resolution must remain unchanged.
The Authorizing Resolution serves two purposes:
1. It is how the GRANTEE’S Governing Body agrees to the terms of the CONTRACT; it provides confirmation that the GRANTEE has the funding to complete, operate and maintain PROJECTS associated with the CONTRACT.
2. It designates a position title to represent the Governing Body on all matters regarding PROJECTS associated with the CONTRACT. The incumbent in this position is referred to as the AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE.
The AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE can delegate signatory authority to other individuals (by position title) either in entirety or for particular documents. The delegation process requires the AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE to submit a letter (on letterhead) or email to OGALS delegating authority.

10 Additional Non-Profit Requirements
Fidelity Bond (For Non-profit grantees only)
Non-profit GRANTEES must provide a copy of a current Fidelity Bond policy to their PROJECT OFFICER before OGALS will approve any payment requests. The premium for a Fidelity Bond is an eligible cost.
A Fidelity Bond provides insurance covering fraudulent acts of GRANTEES’ employees, volunteers, officers, and directors. The GRANTEE is the insured party. DPR must be named as a Third-Party Loss Payee. OGALS address is State of California, Dept. of Parks and Recreation, P.O. Box 942896, Sacramento, CA 94296-0001, Attn: Office of Grants and Local Services.
Coverage must be at least equal to the GRANT amount. Fidelity Bond insurance must be kept current for at least six months after the date of the final GRANT payment.
GRANTEES may obtain the Fidelity Bond through a general liability carrier, a major casualty insurance carrier, or a bonds specialty company. There are Fidelity Bond frequently asked questions available on the OGALS web site.
Competitive Bid Solicitation Process (For non-profit grantees only)
1. Non-profit GRANTEE must attempt to obtain three bids for services greater than $10,000 and for construction work greater than $25,000.
2. To ensure bidders understand the required PROJECT elements, the GRANTEE provides each bidder (potential contractor) the same written invitation for bid describing the PROJECT work to be performed based on “Best Value” factors, and the required PROJECT elements based on the Project Scope/Cost Estimate Form, and concept level site plan.
3. Solicit bids by contacting at least three potential contractors or by invitation for bids advertising, or a combination of both methods.
The GRANTEE’s Board of Directors evaluates the bids to determine which contractor will provide the “best value” and will meet PROJECT requirements. “Best value” should be determined by price, quality of materials, equipment, and workmanship. The evaluation process must ensure no conflict of interest between the contractor and the GRANTEE’s Board of Directors. The GRANTEE’s Board of Directors need not necessarily accept the lowest bid, but a reasonable justification for the decision should be recorded in writing.
4. The Board of Directors selects a contractor and awards a contract.
5. For audit purposes, the GRANTEE keeps records of Steps 1 – 4 above.
Competitive Bid Solicitation Requirement
The non-profit GRANTEE may request a waiver of the competitive solicitation process requirement. To request a waiver, the GRANTEE must send a written request to the PROJECT OFFICER assigned to the GRANT PROJECT and explain why a waiver is required.

3. The GRANTEE agrees that in the event the STATE is named as codefendant under the provisions of California Government Code Section 895 et seq., the GRANTEE shall notify the STATE of such fact and shall represent the STATE in the legal action unless the STATE undertakes to represent itself as codefendant in such legal action in which event the GRANTEE agrees to pay the STATE’s litigation costs, expenses, and reasonable attorney fees.

5. All real property (including any portion or interest in it, including any leases), or rights thereto, acquired with GRANT MONIES shall be subject to an appropriate form of restrictive title, rights, or covenants approved by the STATE.

26 III. SPECIAL PROVISIONS
On March 4, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-6-22 (the EO) regarding Economic Sanctions against Russia and Russian entities and individuals. “Economic Sanctions” refers to sanctions imposed by the U.S. government in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine, as well as any sanctions imposed under state law. The EO directs state agencies to terminate contracts with, and to refrain from entering any new contracts with, individuals or entities that are determined to be a target of Economic Sanctions. This Executive order extends to recipients of any State Grants (Grantee). Grantees include those who have contracted or will contract to receive State grants funds. Accordingly, should the State determine that a Grantee is a target of Economic Sanctions or is conducting prohibited transactions with sanctioned individuals or entities, that shall be grounds for termination of this agreement. The State shall provide the Grantee advance written notice of such termination, allowing the Grantee at least 30 calendar days to provide a written response. Termination of any contract found to be in violation of this Executive Order shall be at the sole discretion of the State. _____________________________________

Clearing the Advance
ADVANCES must be cleared with six months of receipt. An ADVANCE is cleared by submitting:

The balance of unspent GRANT funds must be returned to OGALS no later than thirty days after the end of the six-month ADVANCE period. OGALS will then return the GRANT funds to the CONTRACT balance.
OGALS cannot return interest to the CONTRACT balance.
If interest was earned on the ADVANCED funds, interest must be spent on ELIGIBLE COSTS, and any unspent GRANT funds returned to OGALS.

January 30, 2024
Contractor Total Bid Amount
1. Global Road Sealing, Inc. (GRSI) $117,800.00
2. Alfaro Communications Construction, Inc. $151,863.92
3. Crosstown Electrical & Data, Inc. $176,987.00

Engineer’s Estimate $95,000.00
Global Road Sealing, Inc. submitted the lowest responsible bid for $117,800 per the City requirements and project specifications. They have served as a subcontractor and completed several projects for CalTrans, and have proven to be a reliable contractor.
FISCAL REVIEW:
The current FY 2023/24 adopted budget for Traffic Signal Modifications for Euclid Street at Condor Avenue, and Talbert Avenue at Bushard Street, Project No. 24014 includes adequate funding for this project. The Budget breakdown and anticipated project costs are as follows:
PROJECT BUDGET (Project No. 24014)
FY 23/24 Budget (Capital Improvement Fund – Fund 300) $150,000.00 ANTICIPATED PROJECT COSTS (Project No. 24014)
Construction (Global Road Sealing, Inc.) $117,800.00
Contingency (10%) $11,780.00
Total Anticipated Project Costs $129,580.00
Note that, as in all of the City's public works contracts, the contract itself provides the Director of Public Works authority to issue change orders of up to 10% of the original contract amount. When the Council approves the contract, it approves this authority. Ten percent is generally considered within the normal range of changed conditions on a public works construction project and, by providing change order authority upfront, Council helps to reduce the possibility of delay damages that could be incurred when a contractor must stop work and wait for authorization to proceed.

The Attorney for the City has reviewed and approved the Global Road Sealing, Inc. (GSRI) Contract for project construction.
Traffic Signal Modifications to Euclid Street at Condor Avenue, and Talbert Avenue at Bushard Street
January 30, 2024
ALTERNATIVES:
Alternative No. 1: Accept the bids and award a construction contract for an amount not-toexceed $117,800 to Global Road Sealing, Inc. for Traffic Signal Modifications for Euclid Street at Condor Avenue, and Talbert Avenue at Bushard Street, Project No. 24014.
Alternative No. 2: Reject bids and do not move forward with award of a contract.
