BACKGROUND
The VSASOCAL is a tax exempt 501(c)3 non-profit organization that is in good standing with the Internal Revenue Service. The organization has hosted the Flower Street on Historic Main Street event for the past three years. The event is a meaningful community tradition, one that highlight’s Garden Grove’s diversity, supports local businesses, and brings thousands of residents and families together each year.
DISCUSSION
The 2026 Flower Street on Historic Main Street event will be held at a new location along Main Street, between Stanford Avenue and Acac ia Parkway for three days, beginning on Friday, February 13 through Sunday, February 15. The street closure will be used to showcase flower displays, including a flower marketplace. The event will partially use Village Green Park for a small performance stage, sponsor booths, and food vendor booths.
The event will feature over 20 large -scale floral installations, requiring extended setup and coordination to ensure a safe and high quality experience for residents and visitors. The VSASOCAL would like to us e the Courtyard Center Activity Room several days prior and through the event, in order to prepare the flower installations.
Due to ongoing economic uncertainty, several previous sponsors have significantly reduced their support or are unable to particip ate this year, which has directly impacted the 5 Item 24/2026
organization’s event budget. For these reasons, the VSASOCAL organization is requesting City Council approval to waive the rental fee for use of the Courtyard Center Activity Room.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost for use of the Courtyard Center Activity Room for seven hours each day, for a total of thirteen days, is $5,915. The VSASOCAL organization is requesting approval to waive this total amount. The VSASOCAL will be responsible for reimbursement of any a dditional staff costs for opening and closing the facility outside of normal operating days and hours.

To request that the City Council approve Amendment No. 1, for an additional contract amount of $208,608, to the Agreement with Z&K Consultants, Inc. for construction management services, and geotechnical and material testing services for the Woodbury Park Revitalization and Expansion Project.
BACKGROUND
In November 2024, City Council approved the contract with Z&K Consultants, Inc. to provide construction management services for the Woodbury Park Revitalization and Expansion Project. The scope of work involves full -time construction administration, regular and specialty inspection during construction, assistance during pre -construction and project closeout phase, including project documentation.

During the preparation of the request for pro posals for construction management services, the construction of Woodbury Park was estimated to be completed in a six -month to eight- month period. The proposal received on behalf Z&K Consultants, for a total amount of $299,844, was to provide construction management services for a six -month period. The agreement with Z&K Consultants was executed and began before the construction bid process in order to have the consultant complete a constructability review and provide support with the construction bid process. When the construction bid for Woodbury Park was released for bids, it was determined that the construction period would be approximately ten months due to longer material lead time.

The total cost for construction management services for the Woodbury Park Revitalization Project will be $508,452.

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
To:
Lisa L. Kim From: John Montanchez
Dept:
City Manager Dept: Community Services
Date: 1/27/2026
Subject: Award a contract to Lyons Security Services, Inc. for the Park Security Pilot Program. (Not to exceed $185,000 for six months)(Action Item)
OBJECTIVE
City Council to award a professional services contract to Lyons Security Services, Inc. to provide dedicated, uniformed security services at select City parks through the Park Security Pilot Program intended to reduce vandalism and increase park safety.
BACKGROUND
The City of Garden Grove is initiating a Park Security Pilot Program to provide dedicated, uniformed security services at designated park locations. The goal is to reduce vandalism, drug use, unauthorized overnight camping, and other activity that contributes to park and restroom closures, and to help keep restrooms and public amenities open, clean, and safe for community use.
The pilot program will commence with a six -month initial term and may be extended for up to five years, consisting of four successive one -year terms, subject to satisfactory performance and results.
DISCUSSION
The City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP No. S 1377) and received 28 proposals, which were reviewed by a multi department evaluation panel made up of management staff from Community Services, Public Works, and the Police Department. In person intervie ws were conducted with the top 4 scoring firms, and reference checks were completed.
Based on the evaluation results, staff recommends Lyons Security Services. Lyons ’ primary clients are other local Orange County municipalities where the company provides park security services specifically in public park environments. Lyons was the only firm able to demonstrate this level of directly comparable experience, which staff believes gives the pilot the best chance to be successful. References also described Lyon s as professional, reliable, and easy to coordinate with.
22 Item 13/2026
The pilot program will focus on 6 parks: Garden Grove Park, Magnolia Park, Chapman Sports Complex, Eastgate Park, Pioneer Park, and Haster Basin Park. If the pilot program proves successful in redu cing vandalism and supporting extended restroom hours, thereby enhancing the overall park experience for residents, and the City elects to extend the contract, staff will request the necessary funding through the budget process.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The cost of the initial six -month contract term will not exceed $185,000 and is included in the Community Services Department’s Fiscal Year 2025 –26 adopted operating budget. Any extension of services beyond the initial term will require additional appropriations t o be considered through the mid -cycle budget review and future biennial budget development process.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
Award a professional services contract to Lyons Security Services to implement the Park Security Pilot Program in an amount not to exceed $185,000, for a minimum term of one (1) six (6) month period, with the option to extend the agreement for up to four (4) one (1) year terms based on the success of the pilot program, contractor performance, and the evolving needs of the City; and
Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the contract on behalf of the City, and make minor modifications as needed.

Dept:
City Manager Dept: Human Resources
Date: 1/27/2026
Subject: Authorization for the issuance of a purchase order to GovernmentJobs, Inc. to provide cloud-based human resources software. (Cost: Not to exceed $55,000) (Action Item)
OBJECTIVE
To request City Council to authorize issuance of a purchase order to GovernmentJobs, Inc. (dba NEOGOV) for cloud-based human resources software.
BACKGROUND
Since 2007, the City has contracted with NEOGOV for its specialized cloud-based human resources software to government agencies, including applicant tracking and recruitment, onboarding, performance management, training, and remote examination tools designed specifically for the public sector.
The City first implemented NEOGOV’s Insight module in 2007 to manage the City’s recruitment processes. This module is an applicant tracking system that allows staff to post jobs and manage applicants through each step of the recruitment and selection process.
In 2021, as part of the City’s transition to a new ERP system, the Human Resources Department identified a need t o further automate Human Resources processe s. The Department received City Manager approval to amend its NEOGOV contract to include two additional products, eForms and eSkill. These modules enable staff to electronically collect and manage onboarding documents, support employee self-service functions, and administer remote candidate testing.
NEOGOV is the only vendor that provides the required combination of recruitment, onboarding, and assessment functionality within a single integrated platform.
DISCUSSION
In prior years, the total cost for all NEOGOV products (Insight, eForms, eSkill, and GovernmentJobs.com) remained under $50,000. However, the cost for these services have 39 Item 29/2026
increased by an average of approximately 6.5% annually, and the total cost for 2026 now exceeds $50,000, requiring City Council approval.
Human Resources is requesting City Council approval of a purchase order for NEOGOV.
Subscription costs are expected to continue increasing an average of 6% –7%, annually. To prevent delays in renewal processing, it is also recommended that City Council authorize the Finance Director, or designee, to approve future purchase orders for NEOGOV subscription renewals, subject to available funds and annual budget appropriations.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost for all current subscriptions is approximately $55,000. The Human Resources Department has sufficient budget appropriations to cover the 2026 renewal cost.
Human Resources will coordinate with Finance to monitor subscription increases and plan for future increases. The Department may also explore cost -sharing opportunities with departments that benefit from the use of these services.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
Approve dispensing of the bidding process pursuant to Garden Grove Municipal Code Section 2.50.060(G), and proceed with a purchase order to GovernmentJobs, Inc. (dba NEOGOV); and
Authorize the Finance Director, or designee, to issue a purchase order to GovernmentJobs, Inc. in the amount of $55,000 to cover 2026 subscriptions; and
Authorize the Finance Director, or designee, to issue future purchase orders for subscription renewals of existing modules, subject to annual budget approval and available appropriations.

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
To:
Lisa L. Kim From: Ursula Luna Reynosa
Dept:
City Manager Dept: Economic Development and
Housing Department
Date: 1/27/2026
Subject: Recieve and file the Housing Authority Annual Report as Housing Authority and as Housing Successor for fiscal year 2024-2025. (Joint Action Item with the Housing Authority)
OBJECTIVE
To provide the City Council and Housing Authority Commissioners the Housing Authority Report as Housing Authority and Housing Successor for Fiscal Year 2024-2025.
BACKGROUND
In 2012, upon the dissolution of redevelopment agencies, the Garden Grove Housing Authority assumed the housing assets and functions of the former Garden Grove Agency for Community Development ("Former Agency"). As a result, the Housing Authority as Housing Successor ("Housing Successor") is responsible for housing monitoring, administration, and certain housing production requirements.
In 2014, the Governor signed into law SB 341 requiring Housing Successors to conduct an annual report of their housing activities associated with their assumed assets and functions of the Former Agency.
DISCUSSION
The attached report includes all of the sections required by the statute. Additionally, the report was provided via email on December 19, 2025 thereby satisfying the requirement that the information be provided to the City Council and Housing Authority as Housing Successor prior to December 31, 2025.
A detailed description of the Housing Successor activities undertaken during FY 24-25, as well as the state of the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund (LMIHAF) are detailed in the attached report, with a brief summary provided below:
Receipt of $3,000,000.00 into the LMIHAF in repayment of Former Agency loans
45 Item 429/2025
Total deposits into the LMIHAF of $3,164,557.92, which includes $3,000,000.00 in Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) and Supplemental Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (SERAF) repayments, $38,163.45 in interest, $17,000.00 in First Time Home Buyer loan repayment and $109,394.47 in miscellaneous revenue, bringing the total ending balance of the LMIHAF to $3,164,557.92.
Total expenditures from the LMIHAF of $2, 890,976.02, which includes $67,469.92 for monitoring and administration, as well as $146,006.10 to provide rapid rehousing and homelessness prevention services.
Total statutory value of housing assets owned by the Housing Successor of $24,689,712.27, whic h includes $14,819,524.53 in real property and $9,870,187.74 in loans and grants receivable.
As part of the annual reporting process, the Housing Successor must perform three tests to ensure compliance with the statue. These tests include the Extremely Lo w Income Test, the Senior Housing Test, and the Excess Surplus Test.
Extremely Low Income Test
The Housing Successor is required to expend at least 30% of funds in the LMIHAF on the development of rental housing affordable to and occupied by households earning 30% or less of the Area Median Income (AMI). The Extremely Low Income Test calculates all expenditures on the development of housing over a five (5) year period (2020 -2025) to ensure at least 30% of said funds were expended on units for households at or below 30% AMI. The Housing Successor did not expend funds on the development of rental housing, thus the test is not applicable to this report.
Senior Housing Test
The Housing Successor is limited in the number of rental units it develops for occupancy by senior citizens. This test requires the Housing Successor to compare the total number of housing units assisted by the City, Housing Successor, and/or Former Agency to the number of housing units assisted by the same entities for occupancy by senior citizens over the prior 10-year period. The percentage of housing units for senior may not exceed 50% of the total number of assisted units.
Between July 1, 2015 and June 30, 2025, the City, Housing Successor, and Former Agency assisted a total of 210 housing units, with 16 of those developed for occupancy by senior citizens. The Housing Successor’s percentage of senior housing over the past 10 years is 7.6%, which falls below the 50% threshold.
Excess Surplus Test
An “excess surplus” is defined as an unencumbered amount of funds in the LMIHAF that exceeds $1,000,000 or the aggregate amount deposited into the account during the Housing Successor’s preceding four Fiscal Years ($6,308,837.00), whichever is greater. The ending balance of the LMIHAF is $1,528,674.40, there is no excess surplus.
46 Item 429/2025
Inventory of Homeownership Units
The Former Agency assisted 55 Garden Grove homeowners with down payment assistance loans. Of the 55 original loans, the Former Agency has lost a total of 35 housing units due to loans being repaid and affordability covenants expiring. The Housing Successor has received a total of $423,900.69 in loan repayments since February 1, 2012, with $51,124.22 being repaid during FY 24-25.
Housing Choice Voucher Program
The Garden Grove Housing Authority provides rental assistance to up to 2546 families per month, with 2362 Section 8 Housing Choice Vo uchers (aka Section 8), 109 Emergency Vouchers and 75 Mainstream Vouchers. The lease-up rate by month for FY 202 4-25 was as follows:

IX. DESCRIPTION OF OUTSTANDING OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO
HSC SECTION 33413
Replacement Housing: Whatever unmet obligation that existed according to the 2010- 2014 Implementation Plan for Former Agency, if any, this obligation has been superseded and met pursuant to that certain Stipulation to Substitute Party and for Entry of Interlocutory Judgment 53 GARDEN GROVE HOUSING AUTHORITY AND HOUSING SUCCESSOR Page 7 approved by the Superior Court, County of Orange, State of California in the action Marina Limon, et. al., v. Garden Grove Agency for Community Development , Orange County Superior Court Case No. 30-2009-00291597 (Original Limon Judgment), attached as Exhibit A. There were two lawsuits related to this matter, which resulted in judgments that are both enforceable obligations under the Dissolution Law : (i) a lawsuit filed against the former redevelopment agency pre-dissolution that resulted in the Original Limon Judgment), and (2) a second lawsuit filed post-dissolution by the Plaintiffs in the original legal action entitled Marina Limon, et al v. State of California, et al ., Sacramento Superior Court Case Number: 34-2014-80001994 (Writ Order to DOF), which together are referred to as the “ Limon Judgments”. In implementation of the Limon Judgments, the Successor Agency to the Garden Grove Agency for C ommunity Development (Successor Agency) in cooperation with the Housing Authority and the City have entered into, caused construction through completion, and continue to implement the 38 units of replacement housing required under the Limon Judgment through a series of subsidies, contracts and implementing instruments for: (i) Wesley Village a 47-unit, new construction senior and family affordable housing project and (ii) Sycamore Court, a 78-unit substantial rehabilitation multi-family project, both of which have recorded regulatory agreements with 55-year affordability covenants for tenancy and occupancy by qualified very low and low income households. During FYs 17-18, 18-19, 19-20, 20-21, 22-23, 23-24 and 23-25, the Successor Agency, as well as the City and Housing Authority, have provided documentation to the plaintiffs’ counsels of such compliance with the replacement housing units pursuant to the Limon Judgments, but to date , plaintiffs’ counsel, for unstated reasons , have refused to cause the filing in the Superior Court of a full satisfaction of judgment affirming complete satisfaction of the Original Limon Judgment. Further, in compliance with the Limon Judgments, the plaintiffs and all former residents/tenants at the RV Park were part of the outreach about the availability of the Limon Replacement Units for tenancy at the time of initial occupancy of both projects upon completion and issuance of certificates of occupancy. In the past several years, financial issues exist related to the Wesley Village project that have necessitated negotiations toward restructure of the existing loans and provide additional loan( s) by the Housing Authority to ensure that the Limon Replacement Housing Units at Wesley Village remain in operation long- term in implementation of the Original Limon Judgment. The Successor Agency’s annual ROPS, in particular item 55, includes funding related to implementation of the Limon Judgments, including ROPS 18-19, 19-20, 20-21, 22-23, 22-23, 24-25 current ROPS 24-25 , and prospective ROPS 25-26 , all to ensure that the Limon Replacement Housing Units at Wesley Village (and Sycamore Court) remain in operation long - term in implementation of the Original Limon Judgment.
Inclusionary/Production Housing: Whatever unmet obligation that existed according to the 2010-2014 Implementation Plan for the Former Agency, if any, this obligation has been superseded and has been met by performance, and continued performance, in accordance with the Original Limon Judgment (Exhibit A).
X. INCOME TEST
Section 34176.1(a)(3)(A) provides: “The housing successor shall expend all funds remaining in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund after the expenditures allowed pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2) for the development of housing affordable to and occupied by households earning 80 percent or less of the area median income, with at least 30 percent of these remaining funds expended for the development of rental housing affordable to and occupied by households earning 30 percent or less of the area median income and no more than 20 percent of these remaining funds expended for the development of housing affordable to and occupied by households earning between 60 percent and 80 percent of the area median income.” Section 34176.1(a)(3)(B) provides: “If the housing successor fails to comply with the extremely low income requirement in any five-year report, then the housing successor shall ensure that at 54 GARDEN GROVE HOUSING AUTHORITY AND HOUSING SUCCESSOR Page 8 least 50 percent of these remaining funds expended in each fiscal year following the latest fiscal year following the report are expended for the development of rental housing affordable to, and occupied by, households earning 30 percent or less of the area median income until the housing successor demonstrates compliance with the extremely low income requirement in an annual report described in subdivision (f).” The Housing Authority, as housing successor, reported previously on its expenditures for development sourced from t he LMIHAF for the initial five-year reporting period of January 1, 2014 to “the annual report … for 2019.” The term “development” is defined in Section 34176.1(a)(3)(D): “For purposes of this subdivision, ‘development’ means new construction, acquisition and rehabilitation, substantial rehabilitation as defined in Section 33413, the acquisition of long term affordability covenants on multifamily units as described in Section 33413, or the preservation of an assisted housing development that is eligible for prepayment or termination or for which within the expiration of rental restrictions is scheduled to occur within five years as those terms are defined in Section 65863.10 of the Government Code.” The second five-year reporting period ended on June 30, 2024. Accordingly, this Report presents information for FY 2024 –2025, which represents the first year of the third five- year reporting period. During this reporting period, the Housing Authority’s expenditures and monies encumbered, as Housing Successor, sourced from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund (LMIHAF) for the development of housing continue to meet the applicable income categories and thresholds described above. During FY 2024–2025, the Housing Authority, in its capacity as Housing Successor to the former Garden Grove Agency for Community Development, continued implementation of the Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) executed in FY 2024– 2025, as described in Section IV above, and made the third installment payment in the amount of $1,000,000, along with an interest payment of $127,500, for the acquisition of the Civic Center Parcel for future development of affordable housing. Additionally, during this reporting period, the Housing Authority continued implementation of the 78-unit Orchard Grove Project (all affordable units, excepting the manager’s unit). The Housing Authority executed the Orchard Grove Affordable Housing Agreement in FY 2023– 2024, utilizing LMIHAF funds in the amount of $1,823,000, together with an equal amount of federal prog ram funds, to support the Orchard Grove Project. These funds facilitate substantial rehabilitation and the restructuring of 55- year affordable housing covenants for the at -risk units at the project. As a result of Garden Grove’s investment, all units will be covenanted as affordable housing for a 55-year term, including eight (8) units restricted for occupancy by extremely low-income households. The developer received a reservation of 9% tax credits in the at-risk category for this project, construction financing closed in February 2024, and rehabilitation work continued during FY 2024– 2025 and is ongoing as of the date of this Report, with project completion anticipated in FY 2025–2026.
See Section XII of this Report for updated information about proposed p rojects that are planned to be undertaken during the third five-year reporting period; the projects will include extremely low, very low, and low income housing units in compliance with the income-targeting requirements of HSC Section 34176.1.
XI. SENIOR HOUSING TEST
The Housing Successor is to calculate the percentage of units of deed- restricted rental housing restricted to seniors and assisted by the Housing Successor, the former redevelopment agency and/or the City within the previous 10 years in relati on to the aggregate number of units of deed-restricted rental housing assisted by the Housing Successor, the former redevelopment agency and/or City within the same time period. If this percentage exceeds 50%, then the Housing Successor cannot expend futur e funds in the LMIHAF to assist additional senior housing units until the Housing Successor or City assists and construction has commenced on a number of restricted rental units that is equal to 50% of the total amount of deed-restricted rental units. The 55 GARDEN GROVE HOUSING AUTHORITY AND HOUSING SUCCESSOR Page 9 table on the next page presents information regarding the Housing Successor’s Senior Housing Test for the 10-year period of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2025

XII. EXCESS SURPLUS TEST
Excess Surplus is defined in Section 34176.1(d) as an unencumbered amount in the account that exceeds the greater of (i) one million dollars ($1,000,000) or (ii) the aggregate amount deposited into the account during the Housing Successor’s preceding four Fiscal Years, whichever is greater. T he following provides the Excess Surplus test for the preceding Fiscal Year of the Housing Successor:
Description Amount
LMIHAF Balance $3,078,674.40
Less Encumbrances $1,550,000.00
Unencumbered balance $1,528,674.40
Less the greater of $1,000,000 or the aggregate amount deposited into the account during the housing successor’s preceding four fiscal years, whichever is greater
($6,308,837.00)
Excess Surplus $ None
This analysis indicates there is no excess surplus.
The LMIHAF does not have an Excess Surplus. As described in Section IV., during FY 24-25 the Housing Authority completed the third installment payment for $1,000,000 and interest payment for $127,500 in connection with the PSA for acquisition of the Civic Center Parcel for development of affordable housing. The total acquisition cost was $8,550,000. The Housing Authority made an initial installment payment of $1,000,000 in FY 24-25.
As of preparation of this Report, the City (with cooperation of the Housing Authority) is in negotiations with a Developer for the development of a mixed-use affordable housing project. The project would include 20-23 extremely-low income units and 28,000 sq.ft. of medical use space.
Importantly, the City (with cooperation of the Housing Authority) is currently undertaking operations of a navigation center that serves the homeless. The Central Cities Navigation Center 56 GARDEN GROVE HOUSING AUTHORITY AND HOUSING SUCCESSOR Page 10 (CCNC) is a year-round facility that provides up to 100 beds for temporary housing to individuals, adults ages 18 and older experiencing homelessness. The CCNC is located in the City and is a collaborative project funded by and among the cities of Garden Grove, Fountain Valley and Westminster for long-term operation and services to persons who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
To:
Lisa L. Kim From: Patricia Song
Dept:
City Manager Dept: Finance
Date: 1/27/2026
Subject: Adoption of a Resolution amending User Fees for Engineering and Grading Plan Check services. (Action Item)
OBJECTIVE
For the City Council to conduct a public hearing to consider the adoption of the attached resolution amending certain user fees.
BACKGROUND
State law grants cities the authority to establish and implement fees, rates, and charges for municipal services, provided they do not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of delivering those services. This framework ensures that the City can recover the direct and indirect costs associated with providing specific services to the community, without placing an undue burden on the general taxpayer.
Over the years, the City Council has approved various fees and charges to support a wide range of City services – such as planning fees, building permits, water services, and facility uses – based on this cost -recovery principle. To enhance transparency and streamline the management of these fees, the City Council adopted a Master Fee Schedule in 1994. This consolidated document brought together all approved fees and charges across departments into a single, comprehensive reference. The Master Fee Schedule continues to serve as the City’s central source for service-related fee information and is periodically updated to reflect changes in service delivery costs, regulatory requirements, and community needs.
DISCUSSION
User fees and charges are payments made for voluntarily requested, publicly provided services that benefit specific individuals rather than the general public. In accordance with sound financial management practices, these fees should aim to fully recover the costs of providing such services to protect the broader public interest. Since fees are to be based on actual service costs, periodic reviews are essential to ensure they remain aligned with current cost structures.
104
Item 5/2026
During a recent review, staff identified several Public Works user fees that require updates to accurately reflect current labor and contractual costs, thereby ensuring fairness and cost recovery.
Engineering Plan Check for Public Improvements
This fee is intended to recover the City’s cost of providing engineering review services, which include analysis, coordination, and review to ensure grading plans comply with City standards and applicable codes for development projects.
Final Map Check
The Engineering Final Map Check services consist of a review of final improvement plans prior to permit issuance and encompasses three areas: lot line adjustment, parcel, and tract maps.
Final review of each of these verifies that improvement plans accurately incorporate conditions of approval, prior plan check comments, and existing City Standards to ensure that all documents are accurate and legally suitable for recording with the County Recorder.
Grading Plan Check
The Grading Plan Check service fee reflects the cost of review for proposed grading plans to assess their compliance with safety, drainage, erosion, and building code standards. These reviews also include coordination with necessary studies and supporting technical documents to ensure successful development.
The services described above are primarily provided by consultants and coordinated by City staff. Current fee rates no longer cover the actual cost of delivering these services. Rising consultant expenses and personnel -related costs have significantly increased the cost of service delivery. As a result, the City is not fully recovering costs under the existing fee structure and has been subsidizing a portion of these services with General Fu nd resources that could otherwise support broader community needs.
The proposed increase in hourly rates is intended to align user fees with the City’s actual cost of providing plan check services and restore full cost recovery. These fees are charged solely to project applicants who directly benefit from the services and are not intended to generate revenue beyond the cost of providing plan check reviews.
Additionally, the City proposes implementing annual fee adjustments over the next five years, in accordance with existing contracts, to account for anticipated increases in contractual and labor costs.
A summary of the recommended fee increases for the next five years is presented on the next page.
105
Item 5/2026
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The proposed fee increases are intended to improve cost recovery for engineering and grading plan check services and do not exceed the City’s actual cost of providing these services.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
Conduct a public hearing; and
Adopt the attached resolution amending certain user fees.

Dept:
City Manager Dept: Public Works
Date: 1/27/2026
Subject: Award a contract to Siemens Industries, Inc. for maintenance services of Seimens HVAC systems in City owned buildings. (Cost: $209,710)(Action Item)
OBJECTIVE
For City Council to award a contract to Siemens Industries, Inc. for servicing City-owned heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
BACKGROUND
The Public Works Department is responsible for the operation and maintenance of public facility systems. Currently, twenty-five (25) City-owned buildings use Siemens HVAC systems and controls. These systems consist of proprietary software, hardware and internet controls only serviced by Siemens Industries Inc., a sole source vendor.
DISCUSSION
Due to the proprietary nature of Siemens systems, it is necessary to call on Siemens factory- trained staff to provide preventative maintenance and software upgrades, as well as City Staff directed support and staff training. The required service agreement serves to protect the City’s investment, minimize energy use, as well as reducing operational costs and sy stem downtime. Moreover, the agreement gives the City priority service as well as a 30% discount on labor and a 60% discount on parts. Additionally, the agreement includes emergency, on- site services 24-hours a day . In accordance with Garden Grove Municipal Code sections
2.50.060(C) and (G), the Department has determined, in the City’s best interest, that Siemens as a sole -source vendor due to proprietary considerations, is the most suitable provider to service the existing equipment. City staff is recommending adopting the proposed Siemens service agreement. This is a three -year contract with an option to extend the agreement for an additional two years.
143
Item 16/2026
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost of the three (3) year contract is $209,710 , with an option to extend for an additional two (2) years, bringing the potential five-year total to $370,270. The cost is included in the existing Building Maintenance Division’s adopted operating budget.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
Approve the waiver of the bidding process due to the proprietary software, hardware, and internet controls that can only be serviced by Siemens Industries, Inc., in accordance with Municipal Code Section 2.50.060 (C), and in the best interest of the City per Section 2.50.060 (G);
Approve the agreement with Siemens Industries Inc., in the amount of $209,710 for the first three (3) years, with an option to extend for an additional two (2) years, at a cost of $160,560 , for a total five-year contractual cost of $370,270 for the maintenance of Siemens HVAC systems; and
Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the agreement on behalf of the City and make minor modifications as necessary.

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
To:
Lisa L. Kim From: Jany Lee
Dept:
City Manager Dept: Human Resources
Date: 1/27/2026
Subject: Approval of an Amendment to the City Manager Employment Agreement and adoption of a Resolution amending the Salary Schedule. (Action Item)
OBJECTIVE
To obtain City Council approval of an Amendment to City Manager Employment Agreement and adoption of a resolution amending the Salary Schedule.
BACKGROUND
City Council met in Closed Session on November 5, 2025, to conduct a performance evaluation of the City Manager and on January 13, 2026 to discuss adjustments to the City Manager’s compensation and benefits. Ms. Kim’s initial term of employment as City Manager was three (3) years, beginning on February 28, 2023, with automatic renewals to the Agreement so that there shall remain at least one year left in the term at all times.
DISCUSSION
The proposed Amendment updates specific sections of the existing employment agreement to be effective January 1, 2026, as follows:
1. The Amendment revises Section 4.01(a) to provide an annual salary of $346,433.00.
2. The Amendment confirms the City Manager will continue to receive benefits consistent with Central Management staff, and additionally provides:
a. Maximum annual 457(b) deferred compensation contribution permitted by law; and
b. A lump sum of 80 hours of vacation beginning in March 2026, and every March thereafter.
167
Item 28/2026
3. The Amendment updates language in Section 6.01 to clarify that the City will budget and allocate funds for the City Manager’s professional membership and necessary travel-related expenses.
All other provisions of the February 28, 2023 Employment Agreement remain unchanged.
Since Ms. Kim’s appointment as City Manager, the City has continued to make measurable progress in key organizational priorities, including strengthening the City’s financial position, advancing major capital and revitalization projects, accelerating infrastructure improvements, and supporting economic development efforts such as business attraction and the establishment of new businesses in the City. The City has also maintained a strong focus on service delivery and quality-of-life initiatives through enhanced public safety staffing efforts, continued homelessness response coordination, and the ongoing delivery of recreational and community-based programs and events.
The proposed Amendment is intended to recognize Ms. Kim’s sustained perform ance and executive leadership, maintain a competitive employment package, and support retention of experienced leadership to ensure continued progress of City Council priorities.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The estimated financial impact for the second half of Fiscal Year 2025 -26 related to the proposed amendment to the City Manager Employment Agreement is $28,335, which includes approximately $12,100 in salary and $16,250 for the City’s Deferred Compensation plan, excluding any potential special catch-up provisions. The General Fund portion of the cost for the current fiscal year is approximately $5,200 in salary and $7,000 (or $16,400 if special catch-up provisions are applied) for the Deferred Compensation plan.
Any additional appropriations required for Fiscal Year 2025-26 to implement the Agreement will be allocated as needed. Budget impact in future fiscal years will be addressed through the City’s normal budget amendment and adoption processes.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
Approve the Amendment to City Manager Employment Agreement for Lisa L.
Kim as attached and authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement; and
Adopt the attached Resolution amending the Salary Schedule to include newly approved salary adjustment for the City Manager.

Subject: Introduction and First Reading of an Ordinance adding Section 8.40.035 to Chapter 8.40 of Title 8 of the Garden Grove Municipal Code to prohibit smoking in City parks. (Action Item)
OBJECTIVE
For the City Council to introduce an ordinance prohibiting smoking in City parks.
BACKGROUND
Parks play a vital role in promoting physical exercise, outdoor activities, and the overall well- being of park visitors. They offer spaces for people to connect with nature, reduce stress, relax mentally, and serve as community gathering places fostering s ocial interactions and a sense of belonging.
Despite the strong smoke free laws in California, park visitors still face health risks from exposure to secondhand smoke. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”), there is no risk -free level of exposure to secondhand smoke, and even brief exposures can lead to serious health issues and death. The CDC estimates that secondhand smoke is responsible for approximately 41,000 deaths among nonsmokers each year, including deaths from lung cancer and heart disease. Additionally, smoking-related litter and discarded cigarette butts can impact the cleanliness and maintenance of parks, posing environmental hazards and additional upkeep costs.
While California State law prohibits smoking within 25 feet of playgrounds or tot lot sandbox areas and within 20 feet from public building doors, it also allows cities to enact complete bans or regulations on smoking. The City currently has no regulations addressing smoking in parks other than a park rule implementing the State law mentioned above. To date, over 400 California jurisdictions have adopted additional laws that further restrict smoking in outdoor recreation areas.
At the request of Councilmember Muñet on, the City Council authorized the City A ttorney to prepare an ordinance to prohibit smoking in City parks, not just around playground areas. 209
