Staff Report
Date: October 28, 2025
To: Mayor and Council Members
From: Eric Hendrickson, Finance Director
Issue: Treasurer's Investment Report for September 2025 Recommendation: That the City Council receive and file the Treasurer's Investment Report for the month of September 2025.

Background:

The Treasurer’s Investment Report for the month of September 2025 is submitted herewith. The City’s total portfolio as of September 30, 2025, was $26,644,623. The pooled cash portfolio managed by the City Treasurer consisted of cash on hand, demand deposits, State Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and Investment Trust of California (CalTRUST) investments and totaled $26,544,550. Restricted cash and investments totaled $100,073, and is composed of fiscal agent funds for Civic Center property management purposes.

Interest income for the month of September was $93,173. Fiscal Year 2025/2026 yearto-date pooled cash interest earnings of $300,371 are 36% of the annual budget of $828,600.

The average yield on the City’s total portfolio for the month of September was 4.19%, compared to the prior month of 4.28%. The slightly declining yield in September, as compared to the past few months, reflects a cautious approach by the Federal Reserve to start rate cuts given the current status of the economy. The City has budgeted conservatively in its expectation of interest earnings, and has built slight rate reductions into the revenue forecast.

Staff Report
Date: October 28, 2025
To: Mayor and Council Members
From: Eric Hendrickson, Finance Director
Issue: Measure M2 Expenditure Report FY 2024/2025
Recommendation: That the City Council: 1. Approve the M2 Expenditure Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, for submittal to the Orange County Transportation Authority and 2. Adopt a Resolution entitled: "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Laguna Hills, California, Concerning the Measure M2 (M2) Expenditure Report for the City of Laguna Hills for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025." Background:

With the passage of Renewed Measure M (M2), local agencies must demonstrate eligibility and follow financial safeguard requirements in order for local jurisdictions to receive M2 fair share and competitive program funds. The Orange County Transportation Authority’s (OCTA) Ordinance No. 3 (M2 Ordinance) identifies the eligibility and safeguard requirements that must be met. One requirement under the M2 Ordinance is that each local agency must adopt and provide an expenditure report (in the form provided by OCTA) to OCTA each year within six months of the end of the local jurisdiction’s fiscal year to account for M2 funds. The City Council is requested to review and approve the attached Measure M2 Expenditure Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, and adopt the attached Resolution for submittal to OCTA, as required by Measure M2 Local Transportation Authority Ordinance No. 3.

On November 7, 2006, Orange County voters approved the renewal of the Measure M one-half cent sales tax for transportation improvements. This renewal plan is designated as Measure M2 and provides funding for 30 years to relieve traffic congestion. As part of Measure M2, taxpayer safeguards and audits are provided to ensure appropriate use of funds.

Item No. 4.5
One safeguard requirement under the M2 Ordinance is for each local agency to adopt and provide an annual expenditure report to OCTA each year in the template form provided by OCTA. This expenditure report is a detailed financial report used to track financial activity to account for M2 funds, developer/traffic impact fees, and funds expended by the jurisdiction to satisfy Maintenance of Effort (MOE) requirements. The report includes all M2 net revenue, fund balances and interest earned, and will identify expenditure by activity type and funding source.

The report is required six months after each jurisdiction’s fiscal year-end and must be adopted by Resolution before submittal to OCTA. The attached M2 Expenditure Report demonstrates the City is in compliance with the requirements of M2.

Fiscal Impact:

Over the past five years, Measure M2 has provided between $720,000 and $850,000 of annual revenue to the City for street maintenance and other purposes. Failure to submit the M2 Annual Expenditure Report could suspend or delay M2 funding.

City Council / Planning Agency
Staff Report
Date: October 28, 2025
To: Mayor and Council Members
From: Joe Ames, Interim City Manager
Issue: Approval of Parking Citation and Parking Permit Processing Agency Services Agreement with Data Ticket, Inc.

Recommendation: That the City Council approve the Parking Citation and Parking Permit Processing Agency Services Agreement with Data Ticket, Inc. and authorize the Interim City Manager to execute the agreement.

Background:

In November 2017, the City of Laguna Hills entered into an agreement with Data Ticket, Inc., for the purpose of processing parking citations. The agreement had a term of 5 years, with an option for 3 additional years, which the City exercised. Therefore, the current agreement expires in November 2025.

The City desires to enter into a new agreement with Data Ticket for parking citation processing, as well as expanding the scope to include parking permit processing.

For citation processing, the City received a proposal from Data Ticket that mirrors the prices negotiated by the County of Orange. Annually, the City spends $9,000 to $10,000 to Data Ticket for their citation processing services. Since Data Ticket is a current vendor with the City, it is ideal to renew this contract for continuity purposes. Also, since the County of Orange and the Sheriff's Department uses Data Ticket for their purposes, the City gains economies of scale on renewing this contract.

For parking permit processing, the Public Works Department currently processes all parking permits in the City's fourteen (14) residential permit parking districts. In FY24- 25, the Department issued parking permits to residents residing at 580 residential

Item No. 4.6
properties. Approximately one-third of the Public Works Administrative Assistant's time is spent processing parking permits. The process is very cumbersome as the City does not have online/web-based processing software. Residents are required to e-mail or text parking permit requests, including proof of residency and vehicle registration information, to City staff to obtain permits. Subsequent to approval of a parking permit request, each resident must come to City Hall during business hours to pick up permits.

Therefore, City staff believes there would be significant efficiency in having Data Ticket process parking permits. City staff learned other Orange County cities use Data Ticket for this service, including the City of Lake Forest.

Fiscal Impact:

The maximum not-to-exceed amount for this contract is $200,000, with citation processing comprising $50,000 and permit processing comprising $150,000. Adequate funds were included in the current biennial budget to accommodate the annual expense.

Parking citations generate revenue of approximately $80,000 - $120,000 annually.

Parking permit revenue totals approximately $6,000 - $8,000 annually.

Item No. 4.7
City of Laguna Hills
City Council / Planning Agency
Staff Report
Date: October 28, 2025
To: Mayor and Council Members
From: Joe Ames, Interim City Manager
Issue: Orange County Transportation Authority Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Project: Oso Parkway/Pacific Park Drive/Glenwood Drive Corridor
Recommendation: That the City Council adopt a Resolution entitled: “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Laguna Hills, California, Approving the Submittal of an Improvement Project to the Orange County Transportation Authority for Funding Under the Competitive Measure M2 Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program.” Background:

The Orange County Transportation Authority’s Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program, Project P, provides funding for multi-agency, corridor-based signal synchronization and signal operational improvements for intersections on the Orange County Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH).

On September 8, 2025, the Orange County Transportation Authority’s (OCTA) Board of Directors authorized the 2026 call for projects for the Measure M (M2) Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program’s (CTFP) Regional Capacity Program (RCP - Project O) and Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (RTSSP - Project P). Participating local agencies are required to submit applications to OCTA no later than Thursday, November 20, 2025. One of the grant application requirements is the City Council adoption of a resolution which approves the submittal of the grant application and references grant application requirements, including the acknowledgement of a required 20% local agency match.

City staff identified Oso Parkway as being eligible for traffic signal improvement grant

Item No. 4.7
funding and reached out to surrounding agencies to enlist support for a larger corridor grant application. Oso Parkway originates in the County at Coto de Caza Drive, passes through Mission Viejo and Laguna Hills, becomes Pacific Park Drive through Laguna Niguel and Aliso Viejo and finally terminates in Aliso Viejo as Glenwood Drive at Moulton Parkway. All five agencies have agreed to participate in the project application with Aliso Viejo serving as lead agency.

The map attached to this agenda report shows the traffic signals and corridors included in the proposed RTSSP project.

For the City of Laguna Hills, some of the requested grant-funded work will include vehicle radar detection, CCTV cameras, signal controller upgrades, fiber optic communication, battery back-ups and miscellaneous traffic signal support equipment.

The City currently has similar RTSSP projects underway on most of its arterial roadways including Alicia Parkway, La Paz Road, Cabot Road, Avenida de La Carlota, Paseo De Valencia, Moulton Parkway and El Toro Road. These projects will optimize traffic signal timing to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion, as well as provide traffic signal infrastructure improvements to enhance safety, communications and the City’s ability to effectively monitor and manage signal operations.

CEQA Findings:

The operation and maintenance of existing highways and streets is categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15301(c) of the CEQA Guidelines, Cal. Code of Regs, Title 14, Chapter 3.

Fiscal Impact:

The OCTA grant requires a minimum 20% City match. The estimated 20% City match for this project is $91,000 based on a total estimated project cost of $454,000.

As with the City’s other RTSSP projects, the match amount can be paid out of the County's Coastal Area Road Improvements and Traffic Signals (CARITS) fund, which was established in 1990 as a developer-paid fund to fund roadway and traffic signal improvements west of Interstate 5 in South County. As part of the FY 2023-2025 budget, City staff proposed and City Council approved the transfer of these funds into CIP No. 168 (Fund No. 600-251-950168), Traffic Signal Improvements and Coordination.

Unspent CARITS funds have been rolled over into the FY 2025-2027 budget, and that amount currently totals $1,177,279.22. The current available budget in CIP No. 168 is

Item No. 4.7
$4,270,024.22, which includes the aforementioned $1,177,279.22 of CARITS funds and anticipated M2 grant funds of $3,092,745.00.

Item No. 4.8
City of Laguna Hills
City Council / Planning Agency
Staff Report
Date: October 28, 2025
To: Mayor and Council Members
From: Joe Ames, Interim City Manager
Issue: Resolution in Support of Funding Projects in the Federal Transportation Improvement Program
Recommendation: That the City Council adopt a Resolution entitled: "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Laguna Hills, California, Which Certifies that the City of Laguna Hills Has the Resources to Fund the Projects in the FFY 2026/2027 - 2031/2032 Transportation Improvement Program and Affirms Its Commitment to Implement All Projects in the Program."
Background:

The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) requested all Orange County cities adopt a resolution indicating each City’s intent to provide matching funds for any regionally significant, state or federally funded highway projects that may occur in the next five-year cycle of the Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP). The City may have such projects in the future and adoption of the attached Resolution is recommended.

The FTIP is a “clearinghouse” for the listing of regionally significant highway projects.

Such projects must be listed on the FTIP for eligibility to receive state or federal funds.

The 2027 Federal Fiscal Year FTIP is being prepared covering the next five-year period (FFY 2026/2027 – FFY 2031/2032). The OCTA has requested that all Orange County cities adopt a resolution indicating each City’s intent to provide matching funds for any regionally significant or federally funded highway projects that may occur in the next five-year cycle of the FTIP.

Traditionally, such resolutions are requested every two years from OCTA. The last time

Item No. 4.8
the City adopted such a resolution was in January 2024 for the 2025 Federal Fiscal Year FTIP covering a five-year period (FFY 2024/2025 – FFY 2029/2030).

The development of a Citywide Safety Action Plan which is underway is a prerequisite for applying for implementation project grant funding from the federally funded Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funded under FTIP. The HSIP is just one potential source of funding for these improvements in addition to other funding sources, such as the Orange County Transportation Authority’s Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Project (Project P) for which City staff already submitted grant applications.

Other past federally funded highway programs funded by the FTIP include the following:
• Active Transportation Program (ATP)
• Highway Bridge Program (HBP)
• Safe Routes to School (SRTS/SR2S)
• Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) • Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG)
• Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)
OCTA requests that Cities in Orange County review projects in the current FTIP for the next update. This includes a review of project descriptions, budgets, schedule status, and environmental documents. The FTIP only lists transportation projects that received federal and/or state funds, are regionally significant or included in the Transportation Control Measures (TCM) category by SCAG, and are fully funded.

The City of Laguna Hills project that meet the above criteria for inclusion in the FTIP is listed below:
• Paseo De Valencia and Cabot Road Active Transportation Enhancements This project is funded by STBG and CMAQ funds. The Project will include 2.2 miles of pedestrian safety enhancements and high-comfort bikeways with the following components:
• Paseo de Valencia between Laguna Hills Drive and Alicia Parkway: modifications to an off-street paved trail to satisfy Caltrans Highway Design Manual bikeway design standards,
• Paseo de Valencia from 200 feet south of Alicia Parkway to Cabot Road:
construct a high-comfort bike facility, pedestrian enhancements, and traffic

Item No. 4.8
circulation improvements, and
• Cabot Road between Paseo de Valencia and El Paseo: construct a high-comfort bike facility, pedestrian enhancements, and traffic circulation improvements.

It is recommended the City Council adopt the attached Resolution attesting to the City’s intention to provide matching funds for this federal project and future federal projects, as may be required, in order to make current and future grant applications eligible for federal funding.

Fiscal Impact:

The FTIP resolution requires the City’s commitment of funding for the implementation of the proposed project in the FTIP receiving federal funds for construction. The estimated cost of construction is within the already awarded grant amount of $4,998,000.00.

Code of Regs, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.

Item No. 4.9
City of Laguna Hills
City Council / Planning Agency
Staff Report
Date: October 28, 2025
To: Mayor and Council Members
From: Joe Ames, Interim City Manager
Issue: Award of a Public Works Construction Contract for the FY25-26 Community Development Block Grant Curb Ramp Improvement Project, CIP 170 Recommendation: That the City Council: 1. Award the Public Works Construction Contract for the FY25/26 Community Development Block Grant Curb Ramp Improvement Project, CIP No. 170, to the lowest responsive bidder, Hardy & Harper, Inc. in the amount of $187,410; 2. Find that the Project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Class 1 Existing Facilities, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301; 3. Reject all other bids; and 4. Authorize the Interim City Manager to sign the Public Works Construction Contract.

Background:

Earlier this year, the City was awarded $250,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for the replacement/improvement of 42 access ramps in the area bounded by Paseo De Valencia, La Paz Road and Cabot Road (see attached Location Map). These CDBG grant funds come to the City through the County’s Urban County Program funded by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to benefit areas designated by the United States Census Bureau as having low to moderate income populations. The project will help reaffirm the City’s commitment to compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by enhancing access to the City’s sidewalk system and improving pedestrian paths of travel.

Formal bidding procedures were followed in conformance with the State of California Public Contract Code, and the City of Laguna Hills Municipal Code.

Bids for the FY25/26 Community Development Block Grant Curb Ramp Improvement

Item No. 4.9
Project, CIP No. 170, were opened on October 15, 2025, at which time fifteen bids were received as follows:

Bidder Bid Amount
Hardy & Harper, Inc. $187,410
Nobest, Inc. $203,900
CJ Concrete Construction, Inc. $227,500
Carter Enterprises Group, Inc. $234,000
Gentry General Engineering, Inc. $246,200
CT&T Concrete Paving, Inc. $260,570
Towo Enterprises, Inc. $264,200
SAVI Construction Inc. $271,600
Oppenheimer National $291,942
Kalban, Inc. $293,500
We R Builders, Inc. $299,600
Nesbou Homes $318,800
Van Engineering, Inc. $385,100
Alfaro Communications Construction, Inc. $392,268
Dash Construction Company, Inc. $436,925
Hardy & Harper, Inc. was the lowest responsive bidder at $187,410. Hardy & Harper, Inc. is a well-established contractor, has performed numerous projects for the City, and City staff verified Hardy & Harper is licensed for the contemplated work and is registered with the State Department of Industrial Relations. Therefore, awarding the contract to Hardy & Harper, Inc. in the bid amount of $187,410 is recommended.

CEQA FINDINGS:

Staff has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and determined that this project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 of Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (Class 1 – Existing Facilities).

Fiscal Impact:

The construction budget in CIP No. 170 (GL account 600-251-950170) is $250,000 in CDBG grant funds, along with $50,000 of General Fund for design and construction management, for a total budget of $300,000. Due to the favorable bids received, this should be more than sufficient to accommodate the contract award amount of $187,410 plus construction support costs and contingencies.

Instructions to Bidders Pages IB-1 through IB-6 have been replaced with the attached pages.

In addition, Bidders shall note the following:

Most curb ramp improvements on this Project will be paid using Community Development Block Grant funding. Therefore, the City of Laguna Hills is requesting bids from qualified bidders - including Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), Women Business Enterprise (WBE), Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), Disabled Veterans Business Enterprise (DVBE}, Small Business Enterprise (SBE) and Section 3 license contractors and suppliers.

Not less than higher of the State or Federal prevailing wage rates shall be paid for work on this Project.

Due to Community Development Block Grant funding, this is a Federally-assisted construction contract.

Prevailing wage requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act and related requirements will be enforced. The Federal wage rates are attached to the specifications as Appendix D and can be found at the Department of Labor's website: https://www.wdol.gov. The final contract package signed by the City and the Contractor will contain the most updated federal wage rates.

EqualTile, 626-494-1827 or www.equaltile.com, is an approved equal for the installation of the Vitrified Polymer Composite truncated dome mats required on this project.

Bidders shall take note that the engineer's cost estimate for the project is $250,000.

f) Pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1771.1, Contractor and any subcontractor shall not be qualified to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, subject to the requirements of Section 4104 of the California Public Contract Code, or engage in the performance of any contract for public work on a public works project unless registered with the DIR and qualified to perform public work pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1725.2. It is not a violation of California Labor Code Section 1771.1 for an unregistered contractor to submit a bid that is authorized by California Business and Professions Code Section 7029.1 or by California Public Contract Code Section 10164 or 20103.5, provided the contractor is registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 at the time the contract is awarded.

Apprentices
Section 1777.5 requires the Contractor or Subcontractor employing tradesmen in any apprenticeable occupation to apply to an applicable apprenticeship committee that can supply apprentices to the site of the public works project and which administers the apprenticeship program in that trade for a certificate of approval. The certificate will also fix the ratio of apprentices to journeymen to be used in the performance of the Contract.

The Contractor is required to make contributions to funds established for the administration of apprenticeship programs if he employs registered apprentices or journeymen in any apprenticeable trade and if other Contractors on the public works site are making such contributions.

Information relative to apprenticeship standards, contributions, wage schedules and other requirements may be obtained from the State Director of Industrial Relations or from the Division of Apprenticeship Standards.

1774061.2 GS-6 LH 6909-01/2023

RESOLUTION OF CONSTRUCTION CLAIMS
California Public Contract Code (PCC) section 9204 as adopted by Assembly Bill 626 prescribes a process to present, confer, and mediate all construction claims relating to the City’s public works project.
“Public works project” means the erection, construction, alteration, repair, or improvement of any public structure, building, road, or another public improvement of any kind. “Claim” means a separate demand by the Contractor sent by registered mail or certified mail with return receipt requested for (A) a time extension, including, without limitation for relief from damages or penalties for delay assessed by a public entity under a contract for a public works project (B) payment of money or damages arising from work done by or on behalf of the Contractor pursuant to the contract for a public works project and payment for which is not otherwise expressly provided or to which the claimant is not otherwise entitled, or the amount the payment of which is disputed by the local agency. (PCC 9204(c)(1)) For any claim subject to this article, PCC section 9204 requires the following:
a) The claim shall be submitted by the Contractor in writing, sent by registered mail or certified mail with return receipt requested and must include the documents necessary to substantiate the claim. Nothing in this subdivision is intended to extend the time limit or supersede notice requirements otherwise provided by contract for the filing of claims. However, upon receipt of a claim, the City, and the Contractor may, by mutual agreement, extend the time period provided by statute.
b) For claims of all amounts, the City shall respond within 45 days of receipt of the claim, and provide the claimant a written statement identifying which portion of the claim is disputed and which portion of the claim is undisputed. If the City requires approval from the City Council, and the City Council does not meet within the 45-day period to respond, the City shall have up to three days to issue its response following the City Council meeting. c) For all portions of a claim determined to be undisputed, the City must process payment to the claimant within 60 days of issuing the City’s written determination. d) If the claimant disputes the City’s response, or if the City fails to respond within the time limits provided, the claimant may demand an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. The demand must be sent in writing by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested. Upon receipt of a demand, the City must schedule a meet and confer conference within 30 days for settlement of the disputed claim. e) Within 10 business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if any portion of the claim remains in dispute, the City shall provide the claimant an addition written statement identifying the portion of the claim that is undisputed and the portion that remains in dispute.

If the parties cannot agree, each party shall select a mediator and those mediators shall jointly select a qualified, neutral third party to mediate the remaining undisputed claim. Each party shall bear the respective costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator. If mediation is

unsuccessful, the parts of the claim remaining in dispute shall be subject to applicable procedures outside of PCC section 9204.

Should the City fail to respond to a claim, or fail to issue written statements as required, the Contractor’s claim is deemed denied. A claim denied by reason of the City’s failure to respond shall not constitute an adverse finding with regard to the merits of the claim or the responsibility or qualifications of the claimant.

Amounts not paid in a timely manner as required by PCC 9204 shall bear interest at seven percent per annum.
