OBJECTIVE
For the City Council to adopt a Proclamation recognizing October as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Beginning in 2022, and annually thereafter, the City Council has adopted a Proclamation recognizing October as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month to promote greater awareness and support for the estimated 1 in 4 individuals and families whose lives are irrevocably altered by the death of their children during pregnancy, at birth, and in infancy.

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
To: Lisa L. Kim From: Chief Covey
Dept: City Manager Dept: OCFA
Date: 9/22/2026
Subject: Adoption of a Proclamation designating October 4th through October 10th, 2026, as Fire Prevention Week. (Action Item)
OBJECTIVE
For the City Council to adopt a Proclamation designating October 4th through October 10th, 2026, as Fire Prevention Week.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Since 1922, there has been a public observance of Fire Prevention Week. In 1925, President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed Fire Prevention Week a national observance, making it the longest-running public health observance in the country. During Fire Prevention Week, children and adults learn how to prevent fires and what safeguards to take if a fire starts.
Firefighters and community educators provide lifesaving public education to prevent fires from starting and drastically decrease injuries and casualties caused by fires.
Fire Prevention Week is observed each year during the week of October 9th in commemoration of the Great Chicago Fire, which began on October 8, 1871, and caused devastating loss of life and damage. This horrific blaze killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless, destroyed more than 17,400 structures, and burned more than 2,000 acres of land.
This year, Fire Prevention Week will be observed October 4-10, 2026. This year’s campaign, "Charge Into Fire Safety: Safe Charging Is a Superpower," strives to educate everyone about how to buy, charge, and dispose of lithium-ion batteries safely. We encourage Orange County residents to use, store and dispose of lithium ion batteries safely.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact.

WHEREAS, Lithium-ion batteries are increasingly used in everyday devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, e-cigarettes, e-bikes, power tools, and kids’ toys, making them a common presence in homes and workplaces; WHEREAS, Lithium-ion battery fires can spread rapidly, release toxic gases, and are difficult to extinguish, creating unique dangers for both residents and first responders;
WHEREAS, Proper handling, storage, and disposal of lithium-ion batteries, along with public awareness of safe charging practices, can greatly reduce the risk of fires and injuries;
WHEREAS, The National Fire Protection Association recommends key safe-charging practices, including using only manufacturer-supplied or manufacturerapproved chargers, charging devices on hard, flat surfaces away from beds, couches, and exits, and unplugging devices once fully charged; WHEREAS, The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has recorded hundreds of fire and overheating incidents involving lithium-ion-powered devises nationwide, underscoring the urgent need for public education on safe charging, storage, and disposal practices;
WHEREAS, Orange County residents are responsive to public education and outreach measures and can take personal steps to increase their safety from fire, especially in their homes;
WHEREAS, The 2026 Fire Prevention Week theme, “Charge Into Fire Safety: Safe Charging Is a Superpower,” strives to educate everyone about how to buy, charge, and dispose of lithium-ion batteries safely.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Garden Grove City Council hereby proclaims October 4-10, 2026, as "Fire Prevention Week" and urges Orange County residents to practice safe lithium-ion battery habits. Only buy products that meet safety standards; charge devices safely; dispose and recycle batteries responsibly; and support the many public safety activities and efforts of Orange County Fire Authority during Fire Prevention Week 2026.

A code so amended or adopted and promulgated requires the reporting of reportable items in a manner substantially equivalent to the requirements of article 2 of chapter 7 of the Political Reform Act, Sections 81000, et seq. The requirements of a conflict of interest code are in addition to other requirements of the Political Reform Act, such as the general prohibition against conflicts of interest contained in Section 87100, and to other state or local laws pertaining to conflicts of interest.
(b) The terms of a conflict of interest code amended or adopted and promulgated pursuant to this regulation are as follows:
(1) Section 1. Definitions.
The definitions contained in the Political Reform Act of 1974, regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission (Regulations 18110, et seq.), and any amendments to the Act or regulations, are incorporated by reference into this conflict of interest code. (2) Section 2. Designated Employees.

The persons holding positions listed in the Appendix are designated employees. It has been determined that these persons make or participate in the making of decisions which may foreseeably have a material effect on economic interests. (3) Section 3. Disclosure Categories.
This code does not establish any disclosure obligation for those designated employees who are also specified in Section 87200 if they are designated in this code in that same capacity or if the geographical jurisdiction of this agency is the same as or is wholly included within the jurisdiction in which those persons must report their economic interests pursuant to article 2 of chapter 7 of the Political Reform Act, Sections 87200, et seq.
In addition, this code does not establish any disclosure obligation for any designated employees who are designated in a conflict of interest code for another agency, if all of the following apply:

(B) The disclosure assigned in the code of the other agency is the same as that required under article 2 of chapter 7 of the Political Reform Act, Section 87200; and (C) The filing officer is the same for both agencies.

Annual statements shall disclose any reportable investments, interests in real property, income and business positions held or received during the previous calendar year provided, however, that the period covered by an employee's first annual statement shall begin on the effective date of the code or the date of assuming office whichever is later, or for a board or commission member subject to Section 87302.6, the day after the closing date of the most recent statement filed by the member pursuant to Regulation 18754.

No designated employee shall make, participate in making, or in any way attempt to use the employee's official position to influence the making of any governmental decision which the employee knows or has reason to know will have a reasonably foreseeable material financial effect, distinguishable from its effect on the public generally, on the official or a member of the official's immediate family or on:
(A) Any business entity in which the designated employee has a direct or indirect investment worth $2,000 or more;
(B) Any real property in which the designated employee has a direct or indirect interest worth $2,000 or more;
(C) Any source of income, other than gifts and other than loans by a commercial lending institution in the regular course of business on terms available to the public without regard to official status, aggregating $500 or more in value provided to, received by or promised to the designated employee within 12 months prior to the time when the decision is made; (D) Any business entity in which the designated employee is a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or holds any position of management; or (E) Any donor of, or any intermediary or agent for a donor of, a gift or gifts aggregating $630 or more provided to, received by, or promised to the designated employee within 12 months prior to the time when the decision is made.
(9.3) Section 9.3. Legally Required Participation.
No designated employee shall be prevented from making or participating in the making of any decision to the extent the employee's participation is legally required for the decision to be made. The fact that the vote of a designated employee who is on a voting body is needed to break a tie does not make the employees' participation legally required for purposes of this section. 35 13
(9.5) Section 9.5. Disqualification of State Officers and Employees.
In addition to the general disqualification provisions of section 9, no state administrative official shall make, participate in making, or use the official's position to influence any governmental decision directly relating to any contract where the state administrative official knows or has reason to know that any party to the contract is a person with whom the state administrative official, or any member of the official's immediate family has, within 12 months prior to the time when the official action is to be taken:
(A) Engaged in a business transaction or transactions on terms not available to members of the public, regarding any investment or interest in real property; or (B) Engaged in a business transaction or transactions on terms not available to members of the public regarding the rendering of goods or services totaling in value $1,000 or more. (10) Section 10. Disclosure of Disqualifying Interest.
When a designated employee determines that the employee should not make a governmental decision because the employee has a disqualifying interest in it, the determination not to act may be accompanied by disclosure of the disqualifying interest. (11) Section 11. Assistance of the Commission and Counsel.
Any designated employee who is unsure of the duties under this code may request assistance from the Fair Political Practices Commission pursuant to Section 83114 and Regulations 18329 and 18329.5 or from the attorney for the employee's agency, provided that nothing in this section requires the attorney for the agency to issue any formal or informal opinion. (12) Section 12. Violations.
This code has the force and effect of law. Designated employees violating any provision of this code are subject to the administrative, criminal and civil sanctions provided in the 36 14
Political Reform Act, Sections 8100091014. In addition, a decision in relation to which a violation of the disqualification provisions of this code or of Section 87100 or 87450 has occurred may be set aside as void pursuant to Section 91003. [FN1]
Designated employees who are required to file statements of economic interests under any other agency's conflict of interest code, or under article 2 for a different jurisdiction, may expand their statement of economic interests to cover reportable interests in both jurisdictions, and file copies of this expanded statement with both entities in lieu of filing separate and distinct statements, provided that each copy of such expanded statement filed in place of an original is signed and verified by the designated employee as if it were an original. See Section 81004. [FN2]
See Section 81010 and Regulation 18115 for the duties of filing officers and persons in agencies who make and retain copies of statements and forward the originals to the filing officer. [FN3]
For the purpose of disclosure only (not disqualification), an interest in real property does not include the principal residence of the filer.
[FN4]
Investments and interests in real property which have a fair market value of less than $2,000 are not investments and interests in real property within the meaning of the Political Reform Act.
However, investments or interests in real property of an individual include those held by the individual's spouse and dependent children as well as a pro rata share of any investment or interest in real property of any business entity or trust in which the individual, spouse and 37 15
dependent children own, in the aggregate, a direct, indirect or beneficial interest of 10 percent or greater.
[FN5]
A designated employee's income includes the employee's community property interest in the income of the employee's spouse but does not include salary or reimbursement for expenses received from a state, local or federal government agency. [FN6]
Income of a business entity is reportable if the direct, indirect or beneficial interest of the filer and the filer's spouse in the business entity aggregates a 10 percent or greater interest. In addition, the disclosure of persons who are clients or customers of a business entity is required only if the clients or customers are within one of the disclosure categories of the filer.

Dept: City Manager Dept: City Attorney
Date: 9/22/2026
Subject: Adoption of a Resolution accepting the certification by the Registrar of Voters of the verification of signatures for the referendum against Ordinance No. 2977. (Action Item)
OBJECTIVE
For the City Council to adopt a resolution accepting the certification of the Registrar of Voters of the verification of signatures for the referendum against Ordinance No. 2977.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On June 25, 2026, proponents submitted a petition to the City Clerk of a referendum petition protesting the adoption of Ordinance No. 2977, which reapproved PUD-141-01(A) for the Site B2 Project for a Nickelodeon Hotel resort project. The City Clerk contacted the Orange County Registrar of Voters to determine the number of registered voters in the City of Garden Grove as of its last report to the Secretary of State pursuant to Elections Code 9237, which the Registrar of Voters reported as of May 18, 2026, and the City Clerk determined that the number of registered voters in the City was 96,746. Based on this information, the City Clerk determined that the referendum petition would require at least 9,674 (10%) valid signatures to be sufficient to qualify the referendum for a regular or special election pursuant to Elections Code 9237.
On August 5, 2026, the City Clerk accepted the signed petitions on the referendum and then submitted them to the Orange County Registrar of Voters on August 11, 2026, for verification of the signatures. The results of the signature verification conducted by the Orange County Registrar of Voters determined that 13,738 of the 14,775 signatures on the petition were verified, of which 9,700 were found to be valid. The Registrar of Voters prepared a “Certificate as to the Verification of Signatures on Petition” with the signature verification results, which is attached as Exhibit “A” of the attached Resolution accepting the certification of the Registrar of Voters.
46 Item 391/2026
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The cost of verifying signatures by the Registrar of Voters was $46,709.20. In accordance with the agreement, the developer will reimburse the City for 50% of this cost, or $23,354.60.
To process payment to the County Registrar of Voters, an additional appropriation in the amount of $ 46,709.20 is required. Staff will invoice the developer for $23,354.60 to recover its share of the cost.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
Adopt the Resolution accepting the certification of the Registrar of Voters of the verification of signatures for the referendum against Ordinance No. 2977; and
Approve additional appropriation in the General Fund in the amount of $46,709.20.

Subject: Adoption of a Resolution extending the proclamation of a local emergency concerning the expected failure of chemical tanks on property located 12122 Western Avenue. (Action Item)
OBJECTIVE
For the City Council to adopt a resolution extending the proclamation of the local emergency related to the chemical tanks on property located at 12122 Western Avenue for an additional 60 days.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On May 22, 2026, effective 9:30 a.m., the City Manager acting as the Director of Emergency Services adopted a proclamation declaring a local emergency due to the expected failure of chemical tanks on property located at 12122 Western Avenue.
At the time of the proclamation, one of three chemical tanks with approximately 34,000 gallons of methyl methacrylate showed evidence of failure with releases of vapors and the possibility of an explosion leading to major damage to surrounding properties and possible contamination of the local air quality at levels hazardous to humans and animals. The Orange County Fire Authority issued an evacuation order within the area bounded by Garden Grove Blvd. to the south, Springdale St. to the west, Orangewood Ave. to the north, and Dale St. to the east, affecting the City of Stanton in addition to Garden Grove. This area was later expanded to Valley View St. to the west, Trask Ave. to the south, and Ball Rd. to the north, also affecting the cities of Anaheim, Buena Park, Cypress, Seal Beach, and Westminster, with approximately 40,000 residents in the expanded area.
On May 26, 2026, the City Council ratified the existence of the local emergency. On June 23, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 9991-26 extending the local emergency for 60 days through September 23, 2026.
Although the expected failure of the chemical tanks has been abated, cleanup and remediation efforts continue at the site. Two of the three chemical tanks were completely 50 Item 357/2026
drained, the failed tank continues in its red-tag condition, and the assessment and determination of whether the tanks will be removed from the site has not been completed.
Government Code 8630(c) requires that the City Council review the need for continuing the local emergency at least once every 60 days until the City Council terminates the local emergency.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total financial impact associated with the emergency response is still being reviewed.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
Adopt the Resolution extending the proclamation of a local emergency concerning the chemical tanks on property located 12122 Western Avenue through November 22, 2026.

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
To: Lisa L. Kim From: Jany Lee
Dept: City Manager Dept: Human Resources
Date: 9/22/2026
Subject: Adoption of a Resolution implementing the terms and conditions of employment for Police Recruits. (Action Item)
OBJECTIVE
To obtain City Council approval to reallocate the Police Recruit classification from a part-time to a full-time classification, and approval and adoption of a resolution establishing and implementing the terms and conditions of employment for Police Recruit.
BACKGROUND
Police Recruit is an entry-level classification in which incumbents attend a basic police academy and, upon successful completion, are appointed to a sworn Police Officer position. Currently, employees in the Police Recruit classification are designated as parttime, unrepresented, despite attending the police academy on a full-time schedule.
On August 25, 2026, the City Council approved a single-step salary of $40.99 per hour for Police Recruit and allocated the classification on the City’s full-time salary schedule. The proposed resolution is a related action that formally establishes Police Recruit as a full-time, unrepresented classification and outlines the terms and conditions of employment for the Police Recruit classification.
DISCUSSION
The Police Department has 16 Police Officer vacancies, with one Police Recruit currently attending a POST-certified police academy to fill one of these vacancies. The City continues its recruitment efforts to attract and hire qualified candidates. However, many agencies, including Garden Grove, are experiencing difficulty in attracting candidates in a competitive recruitment environment.
As part of these ongoing efforts, Human Resources staff conducted a survey on the Police Recruit classification among other Orange County law enforcement agencies. The survey revealed that Garden Grove is one of three Orange County agencies that does not recognize Police Recruits as full-time employees or enroll them into the CalPERS Retirement System 56 Item 393/2026
upon hire. This places the City at a competitive disadvantage when prospective candidates compare overall compensation and benefits offered by competing agencies.
To improve the City’s competitiveness in recruiting qualified candidates, staff recommends reallocating Police Recruit from a part-time to full-time classification, in addition to establishing a resolution that defines the terms and conditions of employment to reflect the unique circumstances while attending the academy.
The new Resolution addresses the following terms of employment:
Wages: Recognition of the Police Recruit classification on the publicly available Citywide salary schedule approved by the City Council, Employment Status: Classification as a full-time, unrepresented employee to reflect the full-time schedule required while attending the police academy, CalPERS Retirement: Enrollment into the CalPERS Retirement system as a miscellaneous member upon hire,
Health, Dental, and Vision benefits: Eligibility for “employee only” level medical allowance,
Sick Leave: Accrual and use of sick leave in accordance with State law, Uniform Allowance, and
Employment After Graduation: Conditions governing continued employment with the City following successful completion of the policy academy.
Establishing Police Recruit as a full-time classification and providing fringe benefits that are consistent with those offered by other Orange County law enforcement agencies will strengthen the City’s ability to attract and retain qualified candidates. The proposed changes also create a clear and consistent framework governing the compensation and benefits provided to Police Recruits during their academy attendance, while aligning the classification with the full-time nature of the position.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The proposed changes will increase personnel costs associated with CalPERS employer contributions, health benefits, and other applicable fringe costs for Police Recruits. The City currently has one (1) Police Recruit enrolled in the academy, with the possibility of filling up to three additional positions toward the end of 2026. Existing appropriations and savings from vacant Police Officer positions are sufficient to absorb these costs; therefore, no additional General Fund appropriation is requested.
57 Item 393/2026
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
Approve the reallocation of Police Recruit from a part-time classification to a full-time classification, and
Approve and adopt the Resolution implementing the terms and conditions of employment for Police Recruit.

Subject: Approval of overnight travel for one City staff to attend an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Action Planning training in Santa Barbara from September 29-30, 2026. (Cost: $326)(Action Item)
OBJECTIVE
For the City Council to approve overnight travel for the City’s Public Information Officer in the Office of Community Relations, to attend the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Action Planning (G626) training from September 29–30, 2026. Requested travel dates are Tuesday, September 29 through Wednesday, September 30.
BACKGROUND
The California Specialized Training Institute (CSTI), part of the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), provides training to strengthen the ability of public agencies to prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies. Its EOC Action Planning (G626) course focuses on developing Emergency Operations Center (EOC) action plans and understanding how each EOC section contributes to coordinated emergency operations. For public information personnel, understanding this process helps connect emergency communications with operational priorities. Participation in action planning supports the development of timely, accurate public messages that reflect current conditions, explain protective actions and address the community’s information needs. The 16-hour course will be held September 29–30, 2026, at the Santa Barbara Office of Emergency Management, with instruction from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. CSTI is offering the training at no registration cost.
When the City’s current biennial budget was adopted, the City Council approved a list of conferences, training programs, and seminars requiring overnight travel. The CSTI training was not included in the pre-approved list. Therefore, staff is requesting City Council approval for overnight travel to allow staff to attend the EOC Action Planning training in Santa Barbara, California.
64 Item 417/2026
DISCUSSION
The EOC Action Planning course is a valuable opportunity for the City’s Public Information Officer to strengthen knowledge of emergency coordination and action planning to support clear, timely public communications during emergencies.

Subject: Acceptance of Project No. CP1378000 – Woodbury Road, Bowen Street to Taft Street Water Improvements Project, as complete. (Action Item)
OBJECTIVE
For the Garden Grove City Council to accept Project No. CP1378000 – Woodbury Rd., Bowen St. to Taft St. Water Improvements Project as complete, and authorize the City Manager to execute the Notice of Completion of Public Improvements and Work.
BACKGROUND
The City’s 2020 Water Master Plan Update has identified 228 miles of AC pipeline installed in the 1950s to be replaced under the Water Main Replacement Program, as these pipes are nearing the end of their design useful life. At the same time, the Master Plan recommends that the City target smaller diameter mains in its replacement program, and prioritize areas with lowest fire flow availability.
In considering the above criteria, the Woodbury Rd., Bowen St. to Taft St. Water Improvements Project area was selected. The project consists of constructing approximately 2,500 feet of new 10-inch and 600 feet of new 8-inch C-900 polyvinylchloride (PVC) water mains and the abandonment of existing undersized 6-inch diameter asbestos cement pipe (ACP) water mains in the City of Garden Grove. The scope of work also includes furnishing fittings and appurtenances, trenching, shoring, backfilling, compaction, asphalt repair & replacement, street replacement and pipe disinfection & testing. It includes the construction of approximately five (5) fire hydrant assemblies, 68 water service connections and eight (8) connections to the existing water system.
DISCUSSION
The contractor, All Cities Engineering, Inc., has completed this project in accordance with the plans, specifications and other contract documents.
66 Item 396/2026
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The project was funded with Water Funds. The retention payment will be released subsequent to the statutory period after recordation of the Notice of Completion with the County of Orange.

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
To: Lisa L. Kim From: Ursula Luna-Reynosa
Dept: City Manager Dept: Economic Development and
Housing
Date: 9/22/2026
Subject: Receive and file a report prepared by Oxford Economics regarding the potential fiscal and economic impacts of the proposed Hotel Worker Hotel Worker Benefits and Protection Initiative.
OBJECTIVE
For the City Council to receive and file a report prepared by Oxford Economics regarding the potential fiscal and economic impacts of the proposed Hotel Worker Protection Initiative.
BACKGROUND
On June 17, 2026, proponents submitted a Notice of Intent to Circulate Petition to the City Clerk and requested preparation of an official title and summary for a proposed initiative ordinance titled “Hotel Worker Benefits and Protection Initiative Ordinance” seeking to enact provisions regarding the regulation of hotel worker protection, retention, and minimum wages in the City (the “proposed initiative”).
The Garden Grove Tourism Promotion Corporation (GGTPC) retained Oxford Economics to evaluate the potential fiscal and economic impacts of the proposed initiative. The analysis evaluates potential impacts to Garden Grove’s hotel and tourism industry, including hotel operating costs, employment, hotel financial performance, future investment and development, and revenues generated to the City through Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) and other hospitality-related activity.
DISCUSSION
The proposed initiative would establish a number of requirements applicable to covered hotels in Garden Grove, including hotel worker safety protections, room-cleaning workload standards, limitations on subcontracting, employee-retention requirements following a change in control, minimum wage provisions, service-charge distribution requirements, and related administrative and enforcement provisions.
70 Item 395/2026
Garden Grove’s hotel and tourism industry is an important component of the City’s economic base, supporting employment, business activity, private investment, and significant General Fund revenues through TOT and other hospitality-related activity. Several of the City’s major Grove District hotel operators have expressed concerns that the proposed initiative could materially increase hotel operating costs and affect staffing, operating margins, competitiveness, and future capital investment. Given the hotel industry’s importance to Garden Grove’s tourism economy and General Fund revenues, staff determined that an independent economic analysis was appropriate to better understand the potential impacts of the proposed requirements on existing hotel operations, future hotel development and reinvestment, and City revenues.
Separately, on September 8, 2026, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2980, entitled:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GARDEN GROVE, CALIFORNIA, ADDING CHAPTER 8.72 TO TITLE 8 OF THE GARDEN GROVE MUNICIPAL CODE TO ESTABLISH SAFETY AND SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR HOTEL WORKERS. The City-adopted ordinance establishes local requirements intended to address hotel worker safety and related operating standards and is scheduled to become operative on January 1, 2027.
The proposed initiative is a separate measure and contains provisions that may differ from the City-adopted ordinance in scope, implementation, enforcement, and potential economic effect. Although the proposed initiative must obtain the required number of valid signatures from registered voters before it may qualify for placement on the ballot, staff determined that evaluating its potential fiscal and economic impacts at this stage would provide the City Council and the public with additional information regarding the possible effects of the requirements of the proposed initiative should it ultimately qualify for the ballot and be approved by voters.
The purpose of the economic analysis is to provide independent information regarding the potential fiscal and economic consequences of the proposed initiative and to assist the City Council and the public in understanding its potential effects on Garden Grove’s hotel industry and the City’s revenue base.
To assist in this evaluation, the GGTPC retained Oxford Economics to prepare an independent fiscal and economic analysis of the proposed initiative. The analysis evaluates potential economic effects associated with increased hotel operating costs, including impacts to hotel financial performance, employment, future investment and development, and City revenues.
The report also evaluates the potential for reductions in TOT revenue resulting from changes in hotel performance, room demand, pricing, investment, or other operating conditions associated with implementation of the proposed initiative.
The Oxford Economics report is attached for City Council review.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the City Council receiving and filing the report.
The attached Tourism Economics study evaluates the potential fiscal and economic impacts associated with implementation of the proposed initiative, including potential impacts to TOT and other City revenues.
71 Item 395/2026
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
Receive and file the Oxford Economics report regarding the potential fiscal and economic impacts of the proposed Hotel Worker Protection Initiative.

INITIATIVE MEASURE TO BE SUBMITTED DIRECTLY TO THE VOTERS OF THE
CITY OF GARDEN GROVE
The City Attorney of the City of Garden Grove has prepared the following title and summary of the chief purpose and points of the proposed measure:
TITLE: HOTEL WORKER BENEFITS AND PROTECTION INITIATIVE
ORDINANCE.
SUMMARY:
The proposed initiative ordinance would add Chapter 5.80 to Title 5 of the Garden Grove Municipal Code to enact regulations primarily intended to protect hotel workers from violent or threatening conduct by hotel guests, and to establish minimum wages and working conditions for hotel workers.
The regulations to protect hotel workers include the provision by hotel employers of personal security devices to hotel workers that work in guest rooms or restrooms.
Employers will be required to have a designated security guard to receive alerts from the security devices. Employers will be required to provide minimum training to security guards, hotel supervisors and managers regarding the requirements of the regulations, proper functioning of the security devices, and protocols for responding to security device activation. Employers are required to provide annual training to hotel workers regarding the use and maintenance of security devices, the protocols for responding to activated devices, and the rights of hotel workers and obligations of employers under the regulations.
The regulations to establish minimum wages and working conditions establish an $18 per hour minimum wage upon adoption of the regulations, increasing $1.75 annually every July 1st thereafter until reaching $25 on July 1, 2030. Starting July 1, 2031, the minimum wage will increase by the Consumer Price Index. The workload for each hotel worker will be capped at 3500 square feet of floor space in any 8-hour workday, unless the employer pays the hotel worker twice their regular rate of pay for each additional hour worked. Cleaning of special attention rooms, or floor space of more than one floor, will require a reduction of 500 square feet from the cap for each room or floor. Hotel employers will be prohibited from adopting policies where guest rooms are not cleaned daily, and employers will be prohibited from subcontracting room cleaning.
Any change in control of a hotel will require notification, and new owners will be required to offer employment to the former employer’s hotel workers. Hotel employers that collect service charges from guests will be required to distribute the charges collected to hotel workers equitably based on the services by workers without deducting the amounts from their wages. Supervisorial and managerial staff cannot receive any part of the charges. These charges must be disclosed to consumers prior to the customer making the purchase or selection.
The City may provide a limited waiver of the regulations to a hotel employer in circumstances where a reduction of workforce or work hours are required to avoid bankruptcy or a shutdown of the hotel. The regulations can be superseded by a 73 2
collective bargaining agreement setting forth the waiver of the regulations within the agreement.
The regulations may be enforced by the City or any aggrieved hotel worker by civil actions for actual damages and additional civil penalties. Employers are prohibited from taking any retaliatory action against workers seeking to enforce their rights under the regulations.

Leveraging
Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the needs identified in the plan.
The City implemented activities and utilized CDBG funds consistent with the FY 2025-26 AAP.
The City secured and utilized HUD funds and leveraged funding consistent with the resource allocation plan. Throughout FY 2025-26, the City did not take any actions that hindered the implementation of the Con Plan or AAP.
Subrecipients for FY 2025 CDBG funds were required to detail all secured and unsecured funding sources in their proposals. Each agency was asked to identify all project funding sources at the time of contract execution and again at project closeout. The ESG program requires all sub-recipients to provide a 100% match on grant funds.
The HOME program requires a 25% match for each HOME dollar invested, and excess match may be credited for use in future years. The total match credit arising from affordable housing bond proceeds may not constitute more than 25% of a Participating Jurisdiction's (PJ) total annual contribution toward its match obligation. Match credits in excess of 25% of a PJ's total annual match obligation may be carried over to subsequent fiscal years and be applied to future yearâ¿¿s obligations.
The City did not utilize publicly owned land or property to address the needs identified in the Con Plan and AAPs. In March 1996, the City completed the Bayfort Apartments, which is a HOME-eligible affordable housing project that was bond-financed and that exceeded the annual total match obligation of 25% (See Table 5, below).

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c) Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending homelessness through:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
During FY 2025-26, the City of Garden Grove was awarded $185,565.60 in ESG funds to address homelessness issues throughout the City. The funds were made available to various service providers offering different types of eligible homeless programs. The services included emergency shelters, essential services, homeless prevention, and homeless outreach.
The City of Garden Grove provided $49,000 to Volunteers of America of Los Angeles and $20,000 to StandUp for Kids to support Street Outreach Program. The services provided through the Street Outreach Program were directed towards deploying basic needs support to unsheltered individuals in Garden Grove. This activity created opportunities for sub-recipients to informally engage and assess unsheltered individuals within their peer and community setting. Volunteers of America of Los Angeles was able to provide essential outreach services to 134 homeless residents in FY 2025-26. StandUp for Kids was able to provide essential outreach services to 15 homeless residents in FY 2025-26.
City staff focused the majority of resources on helping service providers maintain emergency shelter operations for homeless individuals and families, provide essential services such as case management and career counseling, and support homeless prevention programs through transitional housing. The City provided $25,000 in ESG funding to Interval House for emergency shelter and essential services, which included community outreach and education programs to individuals at risk of domestic violence.
With the Garden Grove ESG funding for emergency shelter, Interval House were able to free up their nonfederal resources to provide homeless outreach services, homeless prevention education, and domestic violence safety outreach to the population at risk of homelessness, which included 28 individuals in Garden Grove.
The City of Garden Grove Police Department’s Special Resource Team (SRT), funded through the City’s general fund, also implemented street outreach programs for the homeless. The SRT focused on providing resources to help reduce the number of homeless individuals as well as reducing the police responses involving the homeless and mentally ill. The Police Department also partnered up with Orange County Mental Health agencies to provide resources and assistance to homeless individuals that the SRT encounters.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons Of the $185,565.60 of ESG funds, the City allocated $25,000 for emergency shelter. These funds provided different levels of homeless/client programs, including chronically homeless services, domestic 156
CAPER 18
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
violence, winter armory, child care, and rental assistance.
ESG funds also supported Interval House in maintaining its Domestic Violence Shelter Program. Over 28 individuals from Garden Grove were given emergency shelter and were provided support services which included a safe living environment. Case management was provided to ensure that the clients were rapidly rehoused in decent and affordable permanent housing.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs The City of Garden Grove committed $45,624.31 in ESG funds to StandUp for Kids and Interval House for homeless prevention services. StandUp for Kids assisted 4 households (8 individuals) and Interval House assisted 6 families (21 individuals) through their Homeless Prevention Programs, providing rental assistance and case management services to keep Garden Grove families from becoming homeless.
Other ESG sub-recipient organizations, such as Interval House, have made great efforts to assist victims from becoming homeless after the completion of temporary housing programs. Staff at Interval House conduct follow-up case management for their domestic violence victims and make referrals to Garden Grove Housing Authority for Section 8 vouchers for permanent housing.
In FY 2025-26, the Garden Grove Housing Authority worked with Thomas House, Mercy House, and Interval House in providing Section 8 vouchers to qualified residents coming from the shelter programs. Under the voucher program, individuals or families with a voucher are able to find and lease a unit and only have to pay a portion of the rent. The program further assists low-income individuals and families to avoid becoming homeless.
Every jurisdiction receiving McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act funds must develop and implement a Discharge Coordination Policy. The County of Orange assists people discharged from publicly funded institutions or systems of care (such as health care facilities, foster care or other youth facilities, or correction programs and institutions). This assistance prevents homelessness resulting from discharge. The City will refer people discharged from public institutions to the County of Orange for additional resources.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were 157
CAPER 19

recently homeless from becoming homeless again
As part of the efforts to provide housing for the homeless and those at risk of homelessness, the City of Garden Grove awarded HOME funds to service providers who provide rental assistance through the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rental Transition (HEART) Program. Interval House administered the program during FY 2025-2026 and assisted 30 households over a 12-month period by providing a portion of a household’s rent (including security and utility deposits) while offering services to achieve self-sufficiency.

CR-35 - Other Actions 91.220(j)-(k); 91.320(i)-(j)
Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i) Market and governmental factors pose barriers to the provision of adequate and affordable housing.
These factors tend to disproportionately impact lower- and moderate-income households due to their limited resources for absorbing the costs. Garden Grove works to remove barriers to affordable housing by implementing a Housing Element that is consistent with California law and taking actions to reduce costs or provide off-setting financial incentives to assist in the production of safe, high-quality, affordable housing. The City is committed to removing governmental constraints that hinder the production of housing and offers a “one-stop” streamlined permitting process to facilitate efficient entitlement and building permit processing.
The City of Garden Grove has instituted additional actions aimed at reducing the impact of the public sector’s role in housing costs. City efforts to remove barriers to affordable housing include:
• Conduct periodical analysis and revision of the zoning code aimed at developing flexible zoning provisions in support of providing an adequate supply of desirable housing, such as mixed-use zoning standards and updates to the Housing Element.
• Add provision of affordable housing projects through acquisition and rehabilitation activities and new construction of affordable housing units.
• Establishment of a streamlined service counter to reduce process time. • Incentivize density bonuses for affordable projects.
• Continued assessment of existing policies, procedures, and fees to minimize unnecessary delays and expenses to housing projects.
• Streamline construction and/or conversion of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU's).
In addition, the City updated its Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) Report in March 2020 in coordination with other local jurisdictions. This report identifies any potential impediments to fair housing and establishes a Fair Housing Action Plan to outline steps to overcome any identified impediments.
Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The major obstacle to meeting under-served needs is the lack of adequate funding, especially for affordable housing activities. With the dissolution of redevelopment in California and reduced State and Federal funding levels, the City's ability to address the extensive needs in the community is seriously compromised. The City will strive to leverage available funds, to the greatest extent possible, to overcome obstacles in meeting under-served needs. The City has adopted its 2021-2028 Housing 160
CAPER 22
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Element, which includes a commitment to annually pursue State, Federal, and other funding opportunities to increase the supply of safe, decent, affordable housing in Garden Grove for lowerincome households (including extremely low-income households), such as seniors, disabled, the homeless, and those at risk of homelessness.
Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City has an aggressive policy to identify and address lead-based paint hazards in all HUD-funded housing rehabilitation projects. The City considers all housing rehabilitation an opportunity to address potential lead hazards. We, therefore, require lead paint testing for 100% of the City’s HUD-funded residential rehabilitation programs where paint will be disturbed in properties built before 1978.
Loan/grant recipients are required to obtain a lead-based paint inspection prior to commencement of work as well as a post-rehabilitation clearance test if the work disturbed areas where lead contamination had been found. Because the additional costs of lead hazard testing and remediation can be prohibitively expensive for low-income homeowners, the City uses CDBG funds to cover the costs of the lead paint inspection and, if necessary, any lead paint interim controls and lead clearance testing in conjunction with any CDBG-funded housing rehabilitation grants or loans. During FY 2025-26, the City funded eighteen (18) lead-based paint initial inspections and fourteen (14) clearance inspections in administration of the Home Repair Program.
Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) Garden Grove continues to look for ways to expand economic activities to include all people and provide programs to those people who are less fortunate. In the past, the City has focused on the creation of jobs for low- and moderate-income persons through economic development in the Harbor Boulevard area. Through the Con Plan and associated AAP, the City seeks to create and retain permanent jobs that are available to and/or filled by low- and moderate-income people. In addition, other essential elements of the City’s anti-poverty strategy include:
• Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program;
• Housing Choice Voucher Family Self Sufficiency Program; • Economic development programs;
• Anti-crime programs;
• Housing rehabilitation programs;
• Creation of affordable housing;
• Job training and employment development; and
• Transitional housing and homeless service programs.
Through these programs, the City is working to reduce the number of families living below the poverty line. The goals and strategies contained in the Con Plan for funding housing, community development, and community services activities often directly address poverty issues through provision of funding or services, or indirectly through the creation of jobs as several of the CDBG, HOME, and ESG funded 161
CAPER 23
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
service providers offer job training as a component of their programs.
In addition, the City will annually allocate up to 15% of its CDBG funds to public service agencies that offer supportive services in an effort to reduce poverty.
Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) Successful program implementation requires coordination, both internally and with outside agencies.
The City makes changes, as needed, to its staff assignments to address the administrative, planning, and reporting needs of CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds. Project management improvements have included strengthened project eligibility review and staff training of regulatory compliance and procedures. The City of Garden Grove Neighborhood Improvement Division of the Economic Development and Housing Department serves as the lead agency in administration and compliance of CDBG, HOME, and ESG Programs and grant management. The Neighborhood Improvement Division coordinates activities related to CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds, including coordination of internal departments, outside agencies, and grant recipients.
The City's ongoing efforts in its institutional structure include strengthening project designs through negotiating stronger and more specific performance goals for project contracts. This includes ongoing education and technical assistance for program stakeholders, including fellow City Departments implementing HUD-funded programs, outside contractors, the Neighborhood Improvement and Conservation Commission, the City Council, and the public in general regarding the overall objectives and eligible and ineligible uses of each of our HUD funds.
The City also amended the Citizen Participation Plan to make it more readable and to officially designate the City Council as the public hearing body and worked closely with the Neighborhood Improvement and Conservation Commission to deepen their understanding of the CDBG, HOME, and ESG Programs.
Capacity-building is another component in development of the City's institutional structure. In addition to in-house training and development of improved management systems, the City will continue to participate in all HUD training offered locally. To gather more information, build staff knowledge, and seek regional solutions to regional problems, the City participates in regional efforts such as the Orange County Continuum of Care for the Homeless.
Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
Housing, supportive services, and community development activities were delivered by a number of public agencies, non-profit entities, and private organizations. The City of Garden Grove continued to function in a coordinating role between local non-profit service providers and other County, State, and Federal organizations, as well as regional agencies and plans such as the Orange County Continuum of Care (CoC).
162
CAPER 24
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
To enhance coordination, the City participated in regional planning groups and forums to foster collaboration with other agencies and organizations. Through collaboration, the City identified common goals and strategies to avoid overlaps in services and programs and identify potential for leveraging resources. The City also continued to work with a wide range of public and community social service agencies to meet and address the various needs of the community. The City utilized the services of 211 Orange County, whose mission is to help people in the community find the help they need by eliminating the barriers to finding and accessing social services.
Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a) The City of Garden Grove is required to undertake an analysis of impediments to fair housing that may be prevalent in the community and to develop an action plan to address impediments. The City, in collaboration with other Orange County communities, participated in producing a five-year analysis of impediments to fair housing. The final product was the 2020-2024 Orange County Regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (Regional AI). The following are the private sectors impediments:
• Housing Discrimination
• Discriminatory Advertising
• Denial of Reasonable Accommodation
• Hate Crimes
• Unfair Lending
During FY 2025-2026, the City of Garden Grove undertook several programs/actions (on its own or in cooperation with a fair housing provider) to overcome the impediments to fair housing choices identified in the Regional AI. Garden Grove contracted with Fair Housing Foundation (FHF) to provide comprehensive educational and enforcement programs for City residents. The FHF understands the private sector and is well equipped to analyze impediments, describe appropriate actions, and to followthrough on those actions.
During FY 2025-26, the FHF assisted a total of 5,949 individuals with the following services:
1. Fair Housing Outreach and Education
• Planned Agency Meetings at various locations throughout the City; • Organized booths at various events throughout the City; • Distributed literature at various locations throughout the City (including flyers and press releases);
• Facilitated management trainings at City Hall;
• Presented programs at various locations throughout the City; and • Coordinated landlord/tenant workshops at City Hall.

Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements
Although the City’s HUD-funded activities and strategies have been very successful, we strive for continuous improvements in our housing, homeless prevention, neighborhood improvement, and public service priority needs, as well as our grant administration, compliance, and monitoring. During FY 2025- 2026, the City continued to improve its project, fiscal, and other administrative management systems to ensure compliance with CDBG, HOME, and ESG program and comprehensive planning requirements through the following measures and accomplishments:
The City’s Economic Development and Housing and Finance Departments worked together over the last six months to prepare for the FY 2025-26 CAPER and the FY 2026-2027 AAP. Through several brainstorming meetings with managers and staff from both teams, the City has achieved comprehensive training for key staff in both departments on HUD program financial administration and using IDIS.
Economic Development and Housing staff have been working with Finance staff to educate them on HUD requirements. This cooperation will improve the timeliness of HUD fund drawdowns, establish better procedures and schedules for aligning the City’s general budget planning and the HUD AAP process, the City’s general ledger and IDIS records, and for handling remaining funds at the end of the program year.
City Staff annually monitors all HOME funded projects in accordance with the City's Monitoring Plan for HOME Rental Projects and the HOME Final Rule. See Attachment 4 for the City's HOME Monitoring Policy.
In an effort to ensure up-to-date knowledge of HUD programs and policies, staff members invested over 50 hours in training, workshops, webinars, or technical assistance sessions sponsored by HUD or by outside agencies, but with direct relevance to the HUD program implementation. Topics of the trainings included Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act funding, HOME American Rescue Plan, Financial Management, Analysis of Impediments, HMIS, HOME activities, IDIS, sub-recipient management, CDBG and Environmental Training.

Attachment #4
HOME Monitoring Protocols
185
(P:Neigh-Im\HUD Admin\HOME\HOME Monitoring Protocol Exhibit II) ATTACHMENT 4: HOME Monitoring Protocols
This attachment to the City of Garden Grove’s (City) Monitoring Plan is prepared to establish protocols for monitoring HOME Investment Partnerships Act (HOME) assisted rental housing projects The City is responsible to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for monitoring HOME-assisted rental projects throughout the period of affordability to ensure that HOME-assisted rental projects are monitored adequately for continued compliance with federal and state regulations.
Monitoring guidelines are intended to assist City monitoring staff in making informed judgments about asset management, HOME Investment Partnerships Act (HOME) Program compliance and management efficiency of HOME-assisted rental projects.
The primary document used to monitor projects is the Regulatory Agreement. An exhibit of the Affordable Housing Agreement (AHA) or the Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA), a Regulatory Agreement is executed by the owner and the City or the City’s Redevelopment Agency (Agency) and recorded as a lien on the project in the official records of Orange County.
The Monitoring Process
Monitoring of HOME-assisted housing developments will be scheduled following the annual publication of HOME Investment Partnerships Act (HOME) rents and income limits by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which typically occurs between March and May.
Monitoring will occur at two levels:
Annually, a desk audit will be performed wherein the owner/property manager will submit information certifying household sizes, household incomes and rents for all HOME-restricted units; and
Periodically, an on-site visit will be conducted, which will include a property inspection and an in-depth review of all the HOME and federal cross-cutting requirements, e.g., affirmative marketing and tenant selection procedures,
186
(P:Neigh-Im\HUD Admin\HOME\HOME Monitoring Protocol Exhibit II) On-site monitoring will occur whenever developments are inspected to ensure compliance with the City’s property standards. While the City has the prerogative to monitor on-site more frequently, especially if a project is at risk because of outstanding findings or insufficient capacity, inspections and site visits will typically occur in accordance with the HOME Final Rule at 24 CFR 92.504(d):
Total No. of Units Minimum Schedule
1 – 4 units every 3 years
5 – 25 units every 2 years
26+ units annually
The following steps are to be taken when conducting a desk audit:
1. A monitoring letter (Exhibit 1: Annual Monitoring Letter) will be sent to the Owner/Property Manager transmitting the project’s Annual Compliance Report and certification and recertification forms along with the new HOME rents, income limits, Garden Grove Housing Authority utility allowance schedule and a form for calculating HOME rents.
2. The Owner/Property Manager is to submit the new rent schedule and the completed Annual Compliance Report (Exhibit 2: Project Compliance Report) accompanied by income certification or recertification forms (Exhibit 3: Tenant Income
Certification/Recertification Form) for each household occupying a HOME-designated unit.
3. A Monitoring Summary letter will be provided to the Owner/Property Manager that serves as the formal notification of the results of the monitoring. All negative conclusions will be considered a finding or concern with a specific required corrective action. A copy is retained in the Project monitoring file.
A “finding” is a deficiency in project performance evidencing an unmet statutory or regulatory requirement.
A “concern” relates to project performance requiring improvement before becoming a finding.
4. The Owner/Property Manager is to provide a written response within 30 days of the date of the Monitoring Summary letter.
187
(P:Neigh-Im\HUD Admin\HOME\HOME Monitoring Protocol Exhibit II)
5. Upon completion of all corrective actions, a letter is sent to the Owner/Property Manager stating that the monitoring findings and concerns have been closed. A copy is retained in the Project monitoring file.
The following steps are to be taken when monitoring on-site:
1. A pre-monitoring letter (Exhibit 1.1: Monitoring Letter-Site Visitation) will be sent to the Owner and property manager at least two weeks in advance of the monitoring visit. The letter will detail the salient terms of the Project’s Regulatory Agreement that will be the source of monitoring and provide the Owner/Property Manager with the new HOME rents, income limits, Garden Grove Housing Authority utility allowance schedule and a form for calculating HOME rents.
2. Upon arrival, an entrance interview will be conducted to make sure that the owner and/or manager thoroughly understand the purpose, scope and schedule for the monitoring.
3. A detailed record will be prepared of information reviewed and conversations held with the Owner/Property Manager during the monitoring visit, using a checklist (Exhibit 4: File Checklist) and questionnaire (Exhibit 4.1: Monitoring Questionnaire) of HOME Program requirements. The information gathered will serve as a basis for conclusions to be included in the Monitoring Summary letter and follow-up.
4. After the monitoring visit, a Monitoring Summary letter will be forwarded to the Owner/ Property Manager that serves as the formal notification of the results of the monitoring. All negative conclusions will be considered a finding or concern with a specific required corrective action. If relevant, the letter may stipulate steps initiated by the Owner/Property Manager to correct areas of noncompliance or nonperformance. A copy will be retained in the Project monitoring file. A “finding” is a deficiency in project performance evidencing an unmet statutory or regulatory requirement.
A “concern” relates to project performance requiring improvement before becoming a finding.
188
(P:Neigh-Im\HUD Admin\HOME\HOME Monitoring Protocol Exhibit II)

1. Copies of monitoring checklists and forms;
2. Copy of the Regulatory Agreement and Promissory Note;
3. Copy of monitoring letters to the Owner/Property Manager (Summary letter and Clearance letter);
4. Copies of the project’s Management Plan;
5. Copy of rent roll information submitted by the Owner/Property Manager;

7. Utility Allowance schedules;
8. If applicable, reports to confirm the owner’s compliance with leadbased paint requirements;
9. Reports of property and unit inspections;
10. Project Compliance Reports submitted by the Owner/Property Manager;
11. Copy of tenant certification /recertification forms
12. Confirmation of insurance coverage submitted by the property owner or management agent;
13. Confirmation of affirmative marketing compliance for projects with 5 or more HOME-assisted units;
14. Current claim for property tax exemption*;
15. Independent Copy of Residual Receipts Report; and
16. Audit*.
*Required for a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) only. 189
(P:Neigh-Im\HUD Admin\HOME\HOME Monitoring Protocol Exhibit II) On-Site Monitoring
The City will conduct periodic on-site reviews of each HOME-assisted rental project to verify the following:
1. Continued income eligibility
The City will ascertain if the owner is correctly calculating income using the 24 CFR Part 5 definition, inclusive of asset calculations and use of appropriate verification forms, and if households are low-income or very low-income.
The City will also review tenant files to determine if the Owner/Property Manager annually re-certifies the income of each household occupying a HOME-assisted unit, and that the tenancy still meets the HOME income requirements. Though not a HOME requirement, the recertification should commence 120 days before the anniversary date and should be completed by the tenant’s recertification anniversary date.
2. Continued occupancy eligibility
For projects with five or more HOME-assisted units, a minimum of 20% of HOME-assisted units must continue to be occupied by very low-income households paying low HOME rents for the term of affordability, in accordance with the income limits published annually by HUD.
3. HOME Rents
Maximum monthly rents of HOME-assisted units may not exceed Low HOME and High HOME rent limits as published annually by HUD. HOME rents include a tenant utility allowance generally provided by the local housing authority.
When tenants receive additional subsidy through tenant-based rental assistance programs such as Section 8, additional requirements apply. Under the HOME Program, the total gross rent (for tenants receiving Section 8 assistance) includes the tenant’s share of rent, the subsidy payment, and the utility allowance. The total of these three amounts can not exceed the allowable HOME rent. Any issues of non-compliance must be corrected by the Owner/ Property Manager by reducing the gross rent (tenant share, subsidy, and utility allowance) to the allowable HOME rent effective the next interim or annual recertification.
190
(P:Neigh-Im\HUD Admin\HOME\HOME Monitoring Protocol Exhibit II) Very low-income residents receiving project-based rental subsidies are subject to rents allowable under the federal or State projectbased rental subsidy program, not the HOME rent limits. 4 Rents for over-income tenants
Over-income tenants (those with incomes over 80% of the area median) in HOME-assisted fixed units must pay the lesser of the amount payable by the tenant under State or local law (rent control) or 30% of the household’s adjusted income for rent. There is no rent cap for “fixed” units.
Over-income tenants in HOME-assisted floating units must pay 30% of their adjusted income for rent. However, the rent may not exceed the market rent for comparable, unassisted units in the neighborhood.
5. Property Standards
The Final Rule allows for inspection, using Housing Quality Standards at 24 CFR 982.201, of a sufficient sample of HOMEassisted units in a multi-family development, rather than inspection of each and every HOME-assisted unit in the development. The City will inspect 15 to 20 percent of the HOME-assisted units in a project including a minimum of one unit in every building. If consistent compliance problems are found, more units should be inspected. Housing Quality Standards at 24 CFR 982.201 will be the code used to inspect rental units. A separate inspection checklist will be completed for each HOME-assisted unit (Exhibit 5: HQS Inspection form).
6. Affirmative Marketing
Owners/Property Managers of Developments with five or more HOME-Assisted Units are required to maintain an Affirmative Marketing Plan (Exhibit 6: Affirmative Marketing/Fair Housing Marketing Report and Exhibit 6.1: Race and Ethnic Data Reporting Form) and to implement the following affirmative marketing procedures in marketing the development:
191
(P:Neigh-Im\HUD Admin\HOME\HOME Monitoring Protocol Exhibit II) Advertisements placed in newspapers with the broadest possible circulation, including foreign language newspapers in areas with a high percentage of non-English speaking residents.
Place the Fair Housing logo on all advertisements and marketing materials.
Prominently display Fair Housing posters at rental offices.
7. Tenant Protection Provisions
a. Project Lease
The HOME Final Rule 24 CFR 92.253 (a) states that the “Lease between a tenant and an owner of rental housing assisted with HOME funds must be for not less than one year, unless by mutual agreement between the tenant and owner.”
The City will verify that the sample lease does not include any of the following lease provisions (Exhibit 7: Illegal Lease Provisions) are prohibited under the HOME Final Rule at 24 CFR 92.253(b):
i. Agreement by tenant to be sued, to admit guilt, or to a judgment in favor of the owner in a lawsuit in connection with the lease.
ii. Agreement by tenant that owner may take, hold or sell personal property of household members without notice to the tenant and a court decision on the rights of the parties.
This prohibition, however, does not apply to an agreement by the tenant concerning disposition of personal property remaining in the housing unit after the tenant has moved out of the unit. The owner must dispose of this personal
property in accordance with State law.
iii. Agreement by tenant not to hold the owner or the owner’s agents legally responsible for any action or failure to act, whether intentional or negligent
iv. Agreement of the tenant that the owner may institute a lawsuit without notice to tenant.
v. Agreement by tenant that the owner may evict tenant or household members without instituting a civil court
proceeding in which the tenant has the opportunity to
present a defense, or before a court decision on the rights of the parties.
vi. Agreement by tenant to waive any right to a trial by jury. vii. Agreement by tenant to waive tenant’s right to appeal, or to otherwise challenge in court, a court decision in connection with the lease.
viii. Agreement by tenant to pay attorney’s fees or other legal costs even if the tenant wins in a court proceeding by the 192
(P:Neigh-Im\HUD Admin\HOME\HOME Monitoring Protocol Exhibit II) owner against the tenant. The tenant, however, may be
obligated to pay costs if the tenant loses.
b. Tenant Selection;
Under 24 CFR 92.253 (d), an owner of rental housing assisted with HOME funds must adopt written tenant selection policies and criteria that:
Are consistent with the purpose of providing housing for very low-income and low-income families;
Are reasonably related to program eligibility and the applicants’ ability to perform the obligations of the lease; Provide for the selection of tenants from a written waiting list in the chronological order of their application, insofar as is practicable;
Give prompt written notification to any rejected applicant of the grounds for any rejection.
The City will review the Owner’s tenant selection plan to ensure that tenants are selected for occupancy in accordance with HOME regulations and established management policies. The selection plan should include:
Citizenship/immigration status requirements. The owner should describe how citizenship/immigration requirements are implemented. Currently, there are no HOME restrictions on the use of assisted housing by non-citizens.
Social Security number requirements. Requirements for providing SSNs, allowing extended time to provide proof of SSNs and procedures used when an individual has no SSN, must be described.
Procedures for taking applications and selecting from the waiting list, such as the following:
.
o Selection of tenants must be based on order of
application.
o The plan must include policies for notification to tenant applicants of eligibility for residency, and based on
turnover history for units in the development, the
approximate date when a unit may be available.
193
(P:Neigh-Im\HUD Admin\HOME\HOME Monitoring Protocol Exhibit II) o The plan description must include maintenance of a
waiting list of applicant households eligible to occupy assisted units and units designated for various income
levels, and the methods of advertising used to announce opening and closing of the waiting list.
o The plan must define each preference adopted for use
in the property and any rating, ranking, or combining of the preferences the owner has established that will
affect the order in which applicants are selected from
the waiting list. The plan should also describe the
acceptable sources of information to verify the
qualification for preferences.
o The plan must describe the procedures used by the
owner to meet the income targeting requirements.
o Policy for opening, closing and maintaining the waiting list.

Step 5: Project Outcomes
Project outcomes are required for all CAPERS where the program year start date is 1-1-2021 or later. This form replaces the narrative in CR-70 of the eCon Planning Suite.
From the Action Plan that covered ESG for this reporting period copy and paste or retype the information in Question 5 on screen AP-90: “Describe performance standards for evaluating ESG.” The performance standards for evaluating ESG are described in the Protocols for Administration of The Emergency Solutions Grant, included in Appendix C.
These ESG Protocols call out the responsibilities of the subrecipients, and how the City will be monitoring compliance with federal regulations. Additionally, the protocols go over the following items:
-Summary of Eligible Components, Activities and Expenses -ESG Subgrantee Report
-ESG Eligibility Evaluation
-Subrecipient Agreement and Contract Requirements
-Monitoring Notification Letter: On-Site Visit
-Annual Monitoring Notification Letter: Desk Audit
-Monitoring Checklist and Requirements
Based on the information from the Action Plan response previously provided to HUD:
1. Briefly describe how you met the performance standards identified in A-90 this program year. If they are not measurable as written type in N/A as the answer.
The City of Garden Grove conducts desk monitoring every two years to ensure the City's subrecipients are in compliance with HUD ESG regulations. City Staff reviews each quarterly report thoroughly prior to processing the invoice for payment. The City has protocols in place to ensure expenses being reimbursed are eligible ESG expenses, and the ESG matching requirements are met. The City maintains hard files in addition to electronic files to ensure backup documentation is accessible.
2. Briefly describe what you did not meet and why. If they are not measurable as written type in N/A as the answer.
Service providers left $77,756.34 in FY 24-25 ESG entitlement funding unexpended last year and the City prioritized spending down prior year funds in FY 25-26. As a result, the City left $76,846.24 in FY 25-26 ESG funds unallocated to spend down the prior year resources. The City expended a total of $165,884.10 in ESG funding during FY 25-26.
Approximately $76,846.24 in FY 25-26 funds were left unexpended as a result of the City's street outreach, emergency shelter and rapid rehousing providers not finding eligible client matches in the Coordinated Entry System. The unexpended FY 25-26 entitlement funds that were left unexpended or unallocated will be carried over and programmed for use in FY 26-27.

CAPER Aggregator 2.0
Aggregates data from CAPERs submitted to HUD by selected criteria (project type and/or specific question) Due to changes in the CAPER over time, some tables have been retired and replaced by updated versions. Depending on the date range of data included, you will automatically see previous versions of those tables, new ones, or both. Tables that are retired are marked as such in their title.
Click here to read a short technical explanation of how this works and other important information about pulling data across report versions.
Instructions: Select an option for each filter. Aggregate mode sums data together from separate CAPERRs and presents the output as the regular CAPER table shell. Details mode outputs one row for each included CAPER, with a column for each cell of data. Data in Q4 can't be summed, and only outputs in details mode.
In aggregate mode, numbers in green italics have been recalculated or weighted based on available totals.
If you attempt to pull an entire CAPER, especially aggregating over many recipients, you may have to wait several minutes for the result. Use the "Email me" button to run the report and email you the results when it's complete. You can navigate to other pages in Sage while that's running. "Year" means the year of the start date for the submission.
This Aggregator uses data from reports with a status of Review in Progress, Reviewed, or Submitted.

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
To: Lisa L. Kim From: Omar Sandoval
Dept: City Manager Dept: City Attorney
Date: 9/22/2026
Subject: Discussion and consideration of possible action to repeal Ordinance No. 2977, or submit the Ordinance to the voters pursuant to Elections Code sections 9237 and 9241. (Action Item)
OBJECTIVE
For the City Council to discuss and consider possible action to repeal Ordinance No. 2977 pertaining to the zoning of Site B2 for a Nickelodeon Hotel project or call an election pursuant to Elections Code sections 9237 and 9241 to submit the Ordinance to the voters for approval.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On September 13, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2938 to approve Planned Unit Development No. PUD-141-01(A), a zoning designation of the mostly vacant property located at the corner of Twintree Lane and Harbor Blvd. (Site B2) approving the development of a Nickelodeon Hotel Resort . The project includes the construction of a 500 guest-room, five-star, luxury resort hotel with ancillary amenities (the “Project”).
Following the approvals, on September 22, 2022, Marlene Perez, Maria Guadalupe Ortiz, and Unite Here Local 11 filed a petition for writ of mandate in the Superior Court challenging the City Council’s approval of the Project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
VietRise jointed the litigation afterwards. Prior to trial, the parties reached a settlement whereby if the City decided to proceed with the Project, it was required to: (a) prepare a focused CEQA review of the Project’s potentially significant Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) and Green House Gas (GHG) impacts; (b) assess whether modifications are needed to the prior approvals, including mitigation measures and conditions of approval, in light of that focused CEQA analysis; and (c) approve, approve with modifications, or deny the PUD at a publicly agendized City Council meeting.
To comply with the Stipulated Writ, the City prepared a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) providing the focused CEQA review of the Project’s VMT and GHG impacts. The Planning Commission reviewed the SEIR and revised conditions of approval for the Project at a public hearing held on May 7, 2026, and unanimously recommended approval of the Project entitlements to the City Council.
246
Item 392/2026
On June 9, 2026, the City Council held a public hearing and considered the Planning Commission’s recommendations on certification of the SEIR, approval of revisions to the Conditions of Approval attached to Site Plan No. SP-107-2022 (now stylized as SP-107-2022 (Rev. 2026)) to incorporate the mitigation measures identified in the SEIR, and administrative updates, and reapproval of PUD-141-01(A) with modifications limited to the Planned Unit Development Provisions and Development and Performance Standards to incorporate the Mitigation Measures and Project Design Features identified in the SEIR. The City Council unanimously agreed with the Planning Commission recommendations, independently reviewed the SEIR and introduced Ordinance No. 2997 reapproving PUD-141-01(A). On June 23, 2026, the City Council approved and adopted Ordinance No. 2997.
On June 25, 2026, a referendum petition was submitted to the City Clerk protesting the adoption of Ordinance No. 2977, which reapproved PUD-141-01(A), the zoning designation for the Site B2 Project for the Project. The City Clerk contacted the Orange County Registrar of Voters to determine the number of registered voters in the City of Garden Grove as of its last report to the Secretary of State pursuant to Elections Code 9237, which the Registrar of Voters reported as of May 18, 2026, and the City Clerk determined that the number of registered voters in the City was 96,746. Based on this information, the City Clerk determined that the referendum petition would require at least 9,674 (10%) valid signatures to be sufficient to qualify the referendum for a regular or special election pursuant to Elections Code 9237.
On August 5, 2026, the City Clerk accepted the signed petitions on the referendum and submitted them to the Orange County Registrar of Voters on August 11, 2026, for verification of the signatures. The results of the signature verification conducted by the Orange County Registrar of Voters determined that a sufficient amount of qualified signatures were collected to require the City Council to reconsider the Ordinance. Pursuant to Elections Code section 9237, if the petition is signed by not less than 10 percent of registered voters in the City, the effective date of the Ordinance shall be suspended and the City Council shall reconsider the Ordinance. Elections Code section 9241 provides that if the City Council does not entirely repeal the Ordinance, the City Council shall submit the Ordinance to the voters, either at the next regular municipal election occurring not less than 88 days after the City Council calls the election, or at a special election not less than 88 days after the order of the City Council calling the special election.
Given the importance of the Nickelodeon Hotel Project for the long-term development, employment and tax base of the City, staff recommends that the City Council call a special election for June 8, 2027, to submit the rezoning Ordinance to the voters for approval.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The cost of holding a special election is estimated at approximately $1,000,000. Accordingly, an additional appropriation of $1,000,000 from the General Fund is required to fund the special election.
247
Item 392/2026
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
Adopt the Resolution calling and giving notice of a special election to be held on Tuesday, June 8, 2027, submitting to the voters the referendum measure for approval of Ordinance No. 2977 approving the zoning of Site B2 for a Nickelodeon Hotel Resort Project at the corner of Twintree Lane and Harbor Boulevard.
Approve an additional appropriation in the amount of $1,000,000 in the General Fund.
