PROCLAMATION
June 2023 as LBGTQ Pride Month
WHEREAS, Our nation was founded on the principle of equal rights for all people, but the fulfillment of this promise has been long in coming for many Americans.
Some of the most inspiring moments in our history have arisen from the various civil rights movements that have brought one group after another from the margins to the mainstream of American society; WHEREAS, In the movement toward equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LBGTQ) people, a historic turning point occurred on June 28, 1969, in New York City, with the onset of the Stonewall Riots. During these riots, LBGTQ citizens rose up and resisted police harassment that arose out of discriminatory criminal laws that have since been declared unconstitutional. In the four decades since, civil rights for LBGTQ people have grown substantially, and LBGTQ pride celebrations have taken place around the country every June to commemorate the beginning of the Stonewall Riots; and
WHEREAS, California has been a leader in advancing the civil rights of its LBGTQ citizens. And while further progress is needed, it is important to recognize and celebrate the substantial gains that have been achieved.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT DECLARED that the City of Garden Grove does hereby proclaim June 2023 as LBGTQ Pride Month.

BACKGROUND
In July 2022, the City acquired a commercial building located at 11277 Garden Grove Blvd (the Building) as part of the Civic Center strategic plan and for the operations of various City services. The Housing Authority currently leases certain office space from an adjacent commercial building. As the lease term approaches to an end, the Housing Authority intend to relocate to the Building.

The proposed Project will improve an area on the west-end of the building that will be utilized exclusively by the Housing Authority. Improvements include demolition and removal of selective walls, construction of new offices, electrical, flooring, ceiling tiles, protective countertop and paint.
DISCUSSION
A notice inviting bids for tenant improvements was sent to licensed contractors generated from City procurement sources on April 13 , 2023, and a mandatory job site meeting was scheduled for April 20 , 2023. No bidders were present. After discussion with the City’s Public Work’s Facilities staff, the City decided to close the notice of inviting bids and contact a contractor from the City’s bid list. City staff worked directly with H.L. Miller to formulate the scope of work and cost estimates, which meets the technical criteria for completing the work and is attached to the
contract.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The amount of the contract with H.L. Miller is $88,472.12. Since the improvement is for the sole use of the Housing Authority, the contract will be funded by the Housing Authority administration budget. In the case that the amount exceeds the Housing Authority administration allowance, the General Fund shall subsidize for the balance.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council and the Housing Authority:
Approve the Award of Contract to H.L. Miller, Inc., in the amount of $88,472.12, for the Interior Office Improvement Project, 11277 Garden Grove No. 03-2023 between the H.L. Miller, the City of Garden Grove and the Garden Grove Housing Authority; Authorize the Finance Director to create a new Capital Improvement Project (CIP) for the Housing Authority and appropriate $88,472.12 from the Housing Authority's existing operating funds for the CIP. In the case that the Housing Authority's operating funds are insufficient to cover the entire Project cost, the Finance Director shall allocate the General Fund money to subsidize for the balance; Authorize the City Manager/Director, or her designee, to execute the contract, and make minor modifications, on behalf of the City and the Housing Authority, as appropriate.

In case of discrepancy in the Plans or Specifications, the matter shall be immediately submitted to C ITY's Engin eer, without whose decision CONTRACTOR shall not adjust said discrepancy save only at CONTRACTOR'S own risk and expense.

If CONTRACTOR fails to pay for l abor or m aterials when due, CITY may se ttle such claims by making demand upon the surety to this Agreement. In the event of the failure of refusal of the surety to satisfy said claims, CITY may se ttle them directly and deduct the amount of payments from the Contract price and any amounts due to CONTRACTOR. In the event CITY receives a stop notice from any laborer or material supplier alleging non-payment by CONTRACTOR, CITY shall be entitled to deduct all of its co sts and e xpenses incurred r elating thereto, including but not limited to administrative and legal fees.

4.9.2 A change order shal l also be any o ther wri tten order (incl uding direction, instruction, interpretation or determination) from the CITY which causes any change, provided CONTRACTOR gives the CITY written notice stating the date,
circumstances and source of the order and t hat CONTRACTOR regards the order as a change order.
4.9.3 Except as provided in this Section 4.9, no order, statement or conduct of the CITY or its representatives shall be treated as a change under this Section 9 or entitle CONTRACTOR to an equitable adjustment.
4.9.4 If any change under this Section 4.9 causes an i ncrease or decre ase i n CONTRACTOR'S actual, direct cost or the time required to perform any part of the work under this Contract, whether or not changed by any order, the CITY shall make an equitable adjustment and modify the Contract in writing. Except for claims based on defe ctive specifications, no claim for any change under paragraph (4.9.2) above shall be allowed for any costs incurred more than 20 days before the CONTRACTOR gives written notice as re quired in paragraph (4.9.2). In the case of defective specifications for which the CITY is responsible, the equitable adjustment shall include any increased direct cost CONTRACTOR reasonably incurred in attempting to comply with those defective specifications.

U nder no condition shall CONTRACTOR make any cha nges to the Proje ct, either i n additions or deduction, without the written order of the CITY and the CITY shall not pay for any extra charges m ade by CONTRACTOR that hav e not been agreed upon in advanc e in writing by the CITY. CONTRACTOR shall submit immediately to the CITY written copies of its firm's cost or credit proposal for change in the work. Disputed work shall be performed as ordered in writing by the CITY and the proper cost or credit breakdowns therefor shall be submitted without delay by CONTRACTOR to CITY.
4.10 Liquidated Damages for Delay. The parties agree that if the total work called for under this Contract, in all parts and requirements, is not completed within the time specified in Section 4.5 herein, plus the allowance made for delays or e xtensions authorized under Section 4.7, 4.8 and 4.9 herein, the CITY will sustain damage which would be extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain. The parties therefore agree that CONTRACTOR will pay to CITY the sum of two hundred and fifty dollars ($250.00) per day for each and every calendar day during which completion of the Project is so d elayed. CONTRACTOR agrees to pay such liquidated damages and
further agrees that CITY may offset the amount of liquidated damages from any moneys due or that may become due CONTRACTOR under the Contract.

The CITY will retain five percent (5%) of the amount of each such progress estimate and material cost until 30 days after the recordation of the Notice of Completion.
Payments shall be m ade on dema nds drawn in the manner re quired by law , accompanied by a certificate signed by the CITY'S Engineer, stating that the work for which payment is demanded has been performed in accordance with the terms of the Contract. Partial payments of the Contract price shall not be considered as an acceptance of any part of the work.

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
To: Lisa L. Kim From: Patricia Song
Dept.: City Manager Dept.: Finance
Subject: Award a contract to Davis
Farr LLP to provide annual
auditing services for Fiscal
Years 2022-23 and 2023-24
(Cost: FY2022-23-$97,300,
FY2023-24, $100,220)
(Action Item)
Date: 5/23/2023
OBJECTIVE
For the City Council to award a contract to Davis Farr LLP for annual auditing services for fiscal years 2022-23 and 2023-24, with three additional option years.
BACKGROUND
In 2016, the City awarded a contract to perform independent financial auditing services for fiscal years 2015-16 through 2019-20. Davis Farr LLP was selected based on excellent qualifications, relevant experiences and competitive cost. The City then exercised its options to extend their services by two years. The most recent services provided was for the Fiscal Year 2021-22 annual financial audit, which was successfully completed in January 2023.
DISCUSSION
Davis Farr LLP is a well-known accounting firm headquartered in Orange County, and has been providing audit and consulting services for state and local governments, special purpose governments, nonprofit organizations, service organizations and commercial entities for over 40 years.
The City has been using Davis Farr LLP since 2016, and since then, the City implemented a brand new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. The new ERP system redesigned the entire chart of accounts, redefined the majority of the transaction posting strategies, and revamped most of the financial accounting reports. The internal control structure, including user security, has also been revised to achieve better control and to ensure efficiency. The implementation period covered more than three years and two annual audits. During this period, Davis Farr worked alongside the City staff and remodeled their audit approach and strategy to
best achieve the goals established by the various auditing standards.
The implementation of the core modules of the new ERP system was successfully completed by January 2022, and Fiscal Year 2022-23 transactions will be the first full fiscal year recorded and reported using the new system. Using a new auditor during this transitional period will negatively impact the City for the following reasons:
1. The amount of work for the staff will significantly increase if a new auditor is selected within the next two years. As we are still deploying new functions of the system, we already face challenges due to much increased workload.
Streamlining processes has always been one of Finance Department’s top priorities; however, changes take time and resources. While staff is perfecting the system, consistency with using our current auditing service provider will provide much needed relief.
2. The efficiency of the audit will decrease as the newly selected auditor will need to learn our system while we are making improvements. The existing auditor, on the contrary, will be able to contribute valuable input based on their in depth understanding of our old system as well as the industry standards.
3. The effectiveness of the audit will be impacted, and the value of an audit goes beyond the auditor’s opinion letter. Annual audits are great opportunities for the City to review its financial reporting structure, internal control framework, as well as operational efficiencies. These cannot be achieved without the auditor’s deep understanding of the City’s financial accounting practices. As we make many positive changes to our existing practices, it is instrumental that our auditor can make connections between the past and current processes to effectively test and review transaction posting and financial statement preparation.
Best practice recommends cities rotate auditors every six years for three main reasons: to ensure auditor’s independence, to obtain a new perspective, and to keep fees competitive. Davis Farr LLP has provided the attached quotes for their auditing services for the next two fiscal years, which reflects a 3% increase from the existing fees. This is much lower than the current inflation rate. The current fees were established in 2016 through a competitive process. Based on the above, we believe it is in the City’s best interest to award the annual financial audit service contract to Davis Farr LLP, our current auditor for another two years. Staff will evaluate within the next two years to determine if it is necessary to exercise the option years as described in the attached contract.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The costs for the annual financial audit services for fiscal years 2022-23 and 2023-24 are $97,300 and $100,220 respectively. There is a 3% per year escalation factor for the option years. The audit fee for Fiscal Year 2022-23 is included in the City’s current operating budget, and future years’ fees will be incorporated into the City’s budget accordingly.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
Authorize to dispense with bidding in the best interest of the City pursuant to Garden Grove Municipal Code 2.50.060(G);
Award a contract to Davis Farr for annual auditing services for fiscal years 2022- 23 and 2023-24; and
Authorize the City Manager or her designee to execute the contract, approve minor modifications as needed, and exercise the option to extend the contract up to three years.

She encouraged everyone to wear their denim on Denim Day, Wednesday, April 26, 2023, to bring awareness to and to honor victims of sexual assault, and she invited everyone to come to the Civic Center Pond on that day at 8:00 a.m. for a group picture. She expressed her appreciation for the Doig Intermediate Student members of the Doig Action Committee who spoke tonight on installing a mural near Doig Intermediate School to discourage proliferation of graffiti and encourage public art. She noted that the Doig Action Committee consists of students who spend a lot of time coming up with relevant topics and research to proactively enhance their community, and she expressed support for their public art focus to combat graffiti. She noted that the City has enhanced their graffiti program for combatting graffiti, and she hopes to meet with the Doig Action Committee to collaborate on funding a mural near Doig Intermediate. She named the schools in proximity to Doig Intermediate that include Clinton Elementary, Eisenhower Elementary, and Santiago High School where students pass by and pass through on a daily basis, who would benefit by public art expression. She noted that both she and Mayor Pro Tem Brietigam have spoken on expanding public art and suggested that they both meet with city staff to explore a mural program.
Mayor Pro Tem Brietigam noted that there was a significant structure fire at the 12500 block on Valley View Street. The Orange County Fire Authority responded to the fire and some of the fire fighters were seriously injured when a portion of the overhang above the sidewalk fronting the shops came down. He also noted that in speaking with the local residents and the business owners, they had very positive feedback on the response time and handling of the fire by the Fire Authority. Four of the businesses were completely destroyed by the fire, and eleven that were tagged have been reopened. His prayers go out to the business owners and he is hoping that those businesses are able to be back and running as soon as possible.

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
To: Lisa L. Kim From: Craig Beck
Dept.: City Manager Dept.: Community & Economic
Development
Subject: Adoption of a Resolution
confirming the Garden Grove
Tourism Improvement District
Advisory Board Report and
levying an assessment for Fiscal
Year 2023-24. (Action Item)
Date: 5/23/2023
OBJECTIVE
For City Council to hold a public hearing and adopt the attached Resolution confirming the Annual Report of the Garden Grove Tourism Improvement District and levying the assessment for Fiscal Year 2023-24 for the Garden Grove Tourism Improvement District.
BACKGROUND
The Garden Grove Tourism Improvement District (“GGTID”) was established by the Garden Grove City Council in accordance with the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989, California Streets and Highways Code Section 36500 et seq., (the “Law”) through the adoption of Resolution No. 9009-10 on August 24, 2010, and Ordinance No. 2782 on October 26, 2010. The purpose of the GGTID is to provide revenue to defray the costs of advertising and marketing efforts designed to increase overnight stays, construction and maintenance of improvements, and other services, activities and programs that promote and encourage tourism within the GGTID, which benefit the operators of hotels paying assessments through the promotion of scenic, recreational, cultural and other attractions.
The GGTID includes the hotels along Harbor Boulevard from the boundary with Anaheim to Garden Grove Boulevard, and is divided into two (2) separate benefit zones:
1. Tier I includes the hotels north of Lampson Avenue that are subject to an assessment of up to two and one-half percent (2.5%) of gross rent charged per room occupancy per night. There are currently nine (9) hotels in Tier I.
2. Tier II encompasses those hotels south of Lampson Avenue that are subject to an assessment of up to one-half percent (0.5%) of gross rent charged per room occupancy per night. There is currently one hotel in Tier II, The Great Wolf Lodge Southern California.
Pursuant to the Law and the Ordinance, the City Council is required to levy the GGTID assessment annually, based on the recommendations set forth in the annual report of the GGTID Advisory Board. At its meeting on May 9, 2023, the City Council received the Annual Report for FY 2023-24 from the GGTID Advisory Board and adopted a Resolution approving the annual report, declaring its intention to levy and collect an annual assessment for FY
the annual report, declaring its intention to levy and collect an annual assessment for FY 2023-24, and set the public hearing on May 23, 2023, for the annual report and proposed assessment.
DISCUSSION
The GGTID Advisory Board annual report for FY 2023-24 contains a proposed budget for use of the anticipated assessment revenues for the year and proposes no changes (i) to the boundaries of the GGTID, (ii) in the GGTID improvements and activities authorized by Resolution No. 9009-10 and Ordinance No. 2782, or (iii) in the amount of the annual assessment or the method and basis for the levying the assessment. The GGTID Advisory Board is recommending that the annual assessments for FY 2023-24 continue to be two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the gross rent charged by the operator per room per night for all transient occupancy for each visitor accommodation facility in Tier I and (ii) one-half percent (0.5%) of the gross rent charged by the operator per room per night for all transient occupancy for each visitor accommodation facility in Tier II. On February 22, 2011, the City Council approved an agreement with the Anaheim/Orange County Visitor & Convention Bureau (“VCB”), pursuant to which, approximately 80% of the GGTID assessment revenue collected is allocated to the VCB to fund collective tourism marketing efforts or retained by the City for future Harbor Boulevard median improvements and a future transit system.
The remaining (approximately 20%) of the GGTID assessment would be allocated to fund specific improvements along Harbor Boulevard and other tourism promotion activities in Garden Grove in accordance with the budget included in the annual report. These funds are administered by the Garden Grove Tourism Promotion Corporation ("GGTPC") pursuant to an agreement with the Garden Grove Tourism Promotion Corporation approved by the City Council on September 27, 2011. Before the annual assessment can actually be levied on the affected visitor accommodation facilities for the next fiscal year, the City Council must conduct a Public Hearing to hear and consider all protests against the levying of proposed assessments for FY 2023-24 and/or other matters provided in the annual report submitted by the GGTID Advisory Board. Notice of the Public Hearing in the form of the Resolution of Intention adopted at the May 9, 2023 meeting was published eleven (11) days before the hearing and mailed to each visitor accommodation facility subject to the proposed assessment in accordance with the Law.
After conducting the Public Hearing, the City Council may take one of the following actions:
1. Terminate proceedings if written protests are received from the owners of the businesses in the GGTID that will pay fifty percent (50%) or more of the assessments proposed to be levied (a “majority protest”). If a majority protest is received, no further proceedings to levy the proposed assessment may be taken for a period of one (1) year from the date of the finding of a majority protest by the City Council. If the majority protest is against the furnishing of a specified type or types of improvement or activity within the area, those types of improvements or activities must be eliminated.
2. Order changes in any of the matters provided in the annual report, including changes in the proposed assessments and/or the proposed improvements and activities to be funded with the revenues derived from the levy of assessments. If changes are ordered, a notice for a new Public Hearing will be required before the City Council could adopt a Resolution confirming the annual report as modified and levying the assessment.
3. Adopt the proposed Resolution confirming the annual report as originally submitted and levying the assessment on those visitor accommodation facilities within the boundaries of the GGTID for the 2023-24 Fiscal Year, commencing July 1, 2023, and continuing through June 30, 2024.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
It is estimated that the FY2023-24 annual GGTID assessment will generate approximately $3.0 million in revenues for local tourism promotion efforts. Most of these funds will be administered by the VCB and the GGTPC. Any actual administrative costs incurred by the City in relation to the GGTID will be reimbursed through assessment revenues, up to a percentage cap of assessments collected. There is no impact to the General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
Conduct a public hearing for the proposed annual levy of assessment and other matters provided in the annual report submitted by the GGTID Advisory Board;
Receive the report from the City Clerk regarding protests received; and
Assuming that there is no majority protest, adopt the Resolution confirming the Garden Grove Tourism Improvement District Advisory Board Report, and levying the assessment for the Garden Grove Tourism Improvement District for Fiscal Year 2023-24.

GARDEN GROVE TOURISM IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT
ADVISORY BOARD REPORT
The Garden Grove Tourism Improvement District (GGTID) was established by the Garden Grove City Council in accordance with the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989, California Streets and Highways Code section 36500 et seq., (the “Law”) through the adoption of Resolution No. 9009-10 on August 24, 2010, and Ordinance No. 2782 on October 26, 2010.
The purpose of the GGTID is to provide revenue to defray the costs of advertising and marketing efforts designed to increase overnight stays in the GGTID, for construction and maintenance of improvem ents in the GGTID, and to provide other services, activities, and programs that promote and encourage tourism within the GGTID, which will benefit the Operators of Visitor Accommodation Facilities paying assessments through the promotion of scenic, recreational, cultural, and other attractions.
Pursuant to Ordinance No. 2782, the Board of Directors of the Garden Grove Tourism Promotion Corporation, a California non-profit mutual benefit corporation, serves as the GGTID Advisory Board. In accordance with Ordinance No. 2782 and California Streets and Highways Code Section 36533, the Advisory Board is required to annually prepare and submit to the City, a report for the upcoming fiscal year, which is required to contain the following:
1. Any proposed changes in the boundaries of the GGTID or the benefit zones within the GGTID.
2. The GGTID improvements and activities to be provided in the upcoming fiscal year from GGTID assessment revenues and/or any other contributions from sources other than GGTID assessment revenues.
3. An estimate of the cost of providing the GGTID improvements and the activities for the upcoming fiscal year.
4. The method and basis of levying the as sessment in sufficient detail to allow each Visitor Accommodation Facility to estimate the amount of the assessment to be levied against the Visitor Accommodation Facility for the fiscal year, and any proposed changes to the method and basis of levying the assessment.
5. The amount of any surplus or deficit revenues to be carried over from the previous fiscal year.
6. The amount of any contributions to the GGTID to be made from sources other than assessments levied against the Visitor Accommodation Facilities.
1. CHANGES TO BOUNDARIES
The boundaries of the GGTID generally include certain real property within that area of Garden Grove fronting, bordering, or near Harbor Boulevard from the northern boundary of the City to Garden Grove Boul evard. The GGTID is divided into two (2) separate zones: (i) Tier I, which includes that real property within the GGTID north of Lampson Avenue, and (ii) Tier II, which includes that real property within the
GGTID south of Lampson Avenue. A map showing the precise area and boundaries of the GGTID and the two benefit zones is on file with the Garden Grove City Clerk.
No changes to boundaries of the GGTID are proposed.
2. IMPROVEMENTS & ACTIVITIES
Marketing through our partnerships with Visit Anaheim, we developed targeted initiatives to promote and market Garden Grove areas as the premier Southern California leisure destination and strengthen its competitive positioning within the consumer and travel trade sectors. These programs are designed to be an extension of our partners’ sales efforts. The programs offer a unique platform to promote the new hotel inventory, current and remodeled hotels and additions in dining, entertainment, and transportation infrastructure.
Sidewalks, landscaping, bus shelters and palm tree lighting maintenance along the intersection of Harbor Boulevard from Harbor Boulevard and Chapman Avenue to Garden Grove Boulevard.
Providing private security to enhance the safety of the Grove District.
3. ESTIMATED COST OF IMPROVEMENTS & ACTIVITIES
The attached Budgets show the estimated assessment revenues and costs for the GGTID for FY 2023-24.
Pursuant to an agreement between the City of Garden Grove and the VCB entered into on or about February 22, 2011, appr oximately eighty percent (80%) of the net GGTID assessment revenues (i.e., 2.0% of the total 2.5% assessment in Tier I and
0.4% of the total 0.5% assessment in Tier II), will be allocated to Visit Anaheim to administer and use for marketing and promotion of tourism and conventions benefitting the Visitor Accommodation Fac ilities as part of the “Anaheim Resort District.” For FY 2023-24, the City is retaining one half of one percent (0.5%) of gross rent charged for per room night occu pied for transit or transportation system benefitting the GGTID. The first Budget shows the estimated GGTID assessment revenues to be allocated to Fiscal Year 2023-24 and the estimated costs of those categories of improvements and activities to be funded by this portion of the GGTID assessment revenues.
The remaining approximately twenty percent (20%) of the net GGTID assessment revenues will be allocated to improvements and activities within and to benefit, the GGTID other than those provided by Visit Anaheim. These funds are administered by the Garden Grove Tourism Promotion Corporation (“GGTPC”) pursuant to an agreement with the City.
The second Budget shows this portion of the estimated GGTID assessment revenues for Fiscal Year 2023-24 and the estimated costs of those categories of improvements
and activities to be funded by this portion of the GGTID assessment revenues and any surplus assessment revenues carried over from Fiscal Year 2022-23.
4. METHOD AND BASIS FOR LEVYING THE ASSESSMENT
No change in the amount of the annual a ssessment for Fiscal Year 2023-24 or the method and basis for the levying the assessment is proposed.
It is recommended that the annual assessm ents for FY 2023-24 continue to be two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the gro ss rent charged by the Operator per room Occupancy per night for all Transient Occupancies for each Visitor Accommodation Facility in Tier I and (ii) one-half percent (0.5%) of the gross rent charged by the Operator per room Occupancy per night for all Transient Occupancies for each Visitor Accommodation Facility in Tier II.
In accordance with Ordinance No. 2782, the assessments shall be collected monthly, based on the applicable percentage of the amount of gross rent charged by the Operator per room Occupancy per night for all Transient Occupancies in the prior calendar month, in the same manner, and at the same frequency, as the City’s Hotel Visitors Tax imposed pursuant to Chapter 12 of Title 3 of the Garden Grove Municipal Code.
5. PRIOR YEAR SURPLUS OR DEFICIT TO BE CARRIED OVER
It is estimated that there will be approx imately $100,000 in surplus assessment revenues from Fiscal Year 2022-23. It is recommended that these surplus assessment revenues be carried over to FY 2023-24 to fund the costs of the anticipated GGTID improvements and activities to be prov ided in Fiscal Year 2023-24, as more specifically delineated in the attached Budgets.
6. OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS
No contributions to the GGTID from source s other than the assessments levies are anticipated in Fiscal Year 2023-24.

The lowest priced contractor, Wrench Rebel Collision, will be designated as the primary vendor with a contract total of $125,000, Caliber Bodyworks Inc. will be the second vendor utilized with a contract total of $125,000, and due to the smaller shop size and lower volume of output of repairs, Sharp Auto Body will be the third vendor utilized with a contract total of $50,000.
