6.1 CITY TREASURER’S REPORT
This page is intentionally blank.

Notes: The City of Laguna Woods uses a modified accrual basis of accounting, which generally means that revenues are recognized when a transaction occurs, and expenditures are recognized when obligations are created. As such, this monthly financial snapshot reflects only revenue known and expenditures paid for the month referenced as of the date prepared. In some cases, financial statements from financial dealers, depositories, and institutions may not have been received as of the date prepared and, therefore, some revenue and expenditures may not be reflected. Certificates of deposit may also have accrued interest that is not reflected because it is not yet vested. For more information on the specific information included in this monthly financial snapshot, please refer to the full City Treasurer’s Report.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 1, 2026
LAGUNA WOODS, CA – The City of Laguna Woods is pleased to announce that it has received the California Society of Municipal Finance Officers’ “Operating Budget Excellence Award” for its Fiscal Years 2025-27 Operating Budget.

The operating budget is where the City of Laguna Woods budgets property tax, sales tax, cannabis business tax, Measure M2 proceeds, and other funds that support day-to-day operations, including the Orange County Sheriff’s Department’s law enforcement services, building safety services, public road and park maintenance services, and the free notary and document shredding services available to residents at Laguna Woods City Hall.

The California Society of Municipal Finance Officers is a statewide organization that serves local government finance professionals. The Operating Budget Excellence Award is earned by cities and other jurisdictions that meet certain “best practices” for robust, wellstructured, and transparent operating budgets.

7.2 Payment Register
Approval of the payment register dated May 20, 2026 in the amount of $1,187,815.40. A list of payments is included in the agenda packet; detailed information about individual payments is available at or from City Hall.

7.3 Animal Control and Shelter Services
Approval of an agreement with the City of Laguna Beach for animal control and services and authorization for the Mayor to execute the agreement, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney. The City has contracted with the City of Laguna Beach for animal control and shelter services since October 2000. The proposed agreement includes a comparable level of service to the current fiscal year, at an annual cost of $129,060 (a $4,668, or approximately

3.75%, increase from the current fiscal year’s cost of $124,392). The proposed agreement includes new language (including indemnification obligations) that would allow the City of Laguna Beach to provide periodic training and education services to Village Management Services staff related to animal control and coyote hazing (e.g., training security staff to use compressed-air devices that deploy high-velocity water pellets). The term of the proposed agreement is for one year through June 30, 2027.

7.4 As Needed Financial Consulting Services
[1] As permitted by Laguna Woods Municipal Code Section 3.06.100(b), waiver of the competitive bidding requirements set forth in Laguna Woods Municipal Code Section

3.06.080(c) for an extension and amendment of the agreement with Irwin B. Bornstein. The City’s procurement regulations generally require competitive bidding when the estimated cost of services is $25,000 or more over the term of the agreement, but allow for the waiver of those provisions at the discretion of the City Council. Mr. Bornstein is a highly qualified finance professional and Certified Public Accountant. He earned a Master of Business Administration degree from Stanford University and has worked in management roles for the cities of Anaheim, Whittier, and Mission Viejo, where he retired in 2011 as Assistant City Manager/Administrative Services Director. Mr. Bornstein has provided as needed financial consulting services to the City for several years, and also provides or has provided similar services to the cities of Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel, Placentia, San Marino, Stanton, Westminster, and others. Due to the continuing need for the services provided by Mr.

Bornstein and Mr. Bornstein’s qualifications and past performance, staff recommends waiving competitive bidding requirements for the proposed extension and amendment.

AND
[2] Approval of an extension and amendment of the agreement with Irwin B. Bornstein for as needed financial consulting services and authorization for the City Manager to execute the extension and amendment, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney. The proposed extension is for one year through June 30, 2027, with a $10 per hour rate increase.

ITEM 7.0
CC  05-20-2026 Item 7.0 – Page 3 of 7
Mr. Bornstein’s hourly rate has not increased since July 1, 2025.

7.5 Law Enforcement Services
Approval of an agreement with the County of Orange for law enforcement services and authorization for the Mayor to execute the agreement, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney. The proposed agreement includes a comparable level of service to the current fiscal year, at an annual cost of $3,634,846 (a $45,851, or approximately 1.28%, increase from the current fiscal year’s cost of $3,588,995). The cost will increase during the upcoming fiscal year, after the County of Orange reaches new labor agreements with its public safety bargaining units. The proposed agreement increases the overtime budget by 128 hours to accommodate standby services for more frequently occurring protests and assemblies. The term of the proposed agreement is for one year through June 30, 2027.

7.6 Street Sweeping Services
Approval of an agreement with SCA of CA, LLC for street sweeping services and authorization for the City Manager to execute the agreement, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney. A Request for Proposals for street sweeping services was released on March 26, 2026 with proposals due by April 17, 2026. Two proposals were received (CMAX Commercial Maintenance, Inc. and SCA of CA, LLC). After reviewing both proposals, staff recommends that the City Council award the proposed agreement to SCA of CA, LLC due to factors including, but not limited to, cost and past performance. SCA of CA, LLC has provided street sweeping services to the City since assuming the former agreement with Jonset Corporation d/b/a Sunset Property Services on April 22, 2022 (the existing agreement will end on June 30, 2026). SCA of CA, LLC provides or has provided similar services for the County of Orange and the cities of Aliso Viejo, Laguna Hills, Mission Viejo, and Newport Beach. The term of the proposed agreement is for a four-year period through June 30, 2030, with the potential for additional extensions through June 30, 2032.

Table 1: Cost Proposals Received – Street Sweeping Services* Proposer Routine Services As Needed Services
CMAX Commercial Maintenance, Inc. $1,200 per week $350 per hour SCA of CA, LLC $896.10 per week $195 per hour
* The costs in Table 1 would increase as set forth in Exhibit B of the proposed agreement.

7.7 Traffic Engineering Services
Approval of an agreement with Iteris, Inc. for traffic engineering services and authorization for the City Manager to execute the agreement, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney. A Request for Proposals for traffic engineering services was released on March 26, 2026 with proposals due by April 17, 2026. Despite directly distributing the Request for Proposals to 14 firms and publishing a public notice in the Laguna Woods Globe, no ITEM 7.0
Item 7.0 – Page 4 of 7 CC  05-20-2026
proposals were received prior to the deadline. The City subsequently contacted Iteris and negotiated the proposed agreement. Iteris has provided traffic engineering services to the City since 2012, first as a subcontractor to CivilSource (through August 18, 2020) and subsequently as a direct contractor (the existing agreement will end on June 30, 2026). Iteris provides or has provided similar services for the cities of Anaheim, Irvine, Laguna Niguel, Lake Forest, and Seal Beach, as well as the Orange County Transportation Authority. The term of the proposed agreement is for a three-year period through June 30, 2029, with the potential for additional extensions through June 30, 2031.

7.8 Traffic Signal, Street Light, and City Hall Lighting Maintenance Services Approval of an extension of the agreement with Bear Electrical Solutions, Inc. for traffic signal, street light, and City Hall lighting maintenance services and authorization for the City Manager to execute the extension, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney. The City Council approved the existing agreement with Bear Electrical Solutions on June 28, 2023. The term of the proposed extension is for a two-year period through June 30, 2028, as allowed by the existing agreement, with no other changes to terms and conditions.

7.9 Software Licensing and Implementation Services
Approval of an amendment to the existing agreement with Tyler Technologies, Inc. for software licensing and implementation services to add Software as a Service (SaaS) for human resources management and authorization for the City Manager to execute the amendment, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney. The proposed amendment would provide the City with new human resources management software integrated with the existing ERP Pro 10 software. The City currently uses ERP Pro 10 for finance and accounting purposes. The addition of human resources management software is intended to centralize and modernize personnel management and recordkeeping activities that staff currently handle using paper files, spreadsheets, and unintegrated, web-based training software.

7.10 Waste Management Consulting Services
[1] As permitted by Laguna Woods Municipal Code Section 3.06.100(b), waiver of the competitive bidding requirements set forth in Laguna Woods Municipal Code Section

3.06.080(c) for an extension of the agreement with CityGreen Consulting, LLC. The City’s procurement regulations generally require competitive bidding when the estimated cost of services is $25,000 or more over the term of the agreement, but allow for the waiver of those provisions at the discretion of the City Council. CityGreen Consulting has provided as needed waste management services to the City since July 1, 2024. For many years prior to that date, the City contracted directly with CityGreen Consulting’s President, Michael Balliet, for similar services. CityGreen Consulting (and/or Mr. Balliet) provides or has provided similar services to the cities of Costa Mesa, Fountain Valley, Irvine, Los Alamitos, Newport Beach, and Villa Park. Due to the continuing need for the services provided by CityGreen Consulting and CityGreen Consulting’s qualifications and past performance, as ITEM 7.0
CC  05-20-2026 Item 7.0 – Page 5 of 7
well as CityGreen Consulting’s willingness to maintain existing rates for an additional year, staff recommends waiving competitive bidding requirements for the proposed extension.

AND
[2] Approval of an extension of the agreement with CityGreen Consulting, LLC for waste management consulting services and authorization for the City Manager to execute the extension, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney. The proposed extension is for one year through June 30, 2026, with no increase in rates.

7.11 Woods End Wilderness Preserve Trail Drainage and Improvement Project [1] Approval of the final record plans and specifications reflecting completion of the “Woods End Wilderness Preserve Trail Drainage and Improvement Project” as prepared by the project architect and their licensed professionals.

AND
[2] Acceptance of project completion of the contract agreement with Millsten Enterprises, Inc. for the construction of the “Woods End Wilderness Preserve Trail Drainage and Improvement Project” and authorization for the City Manager to execute and record, or cause to be executed and recorded, a notice of completion with the County of Orange.

AND
[3] Authorization for the City Manager to release the contract retention payment withheld per state law, and exonerate project posted bonds, for the “Woods End Wilderness Preserve Trail Drainage and Improvement Project,” 35 days following recordation of the notice of completion with the County of Orange, to the extent allowed by state law.

An agenda report is included with additional information.

7.12 Surveillance Cameras at the El Toro Water District’s Oso Lift Station Approval of a memorandum of understanding with the El Toro Water District to allow the City to install, operate, and maintain surveillance cameras at the El Toro Water District’s Oso Lift Station and authorization for the Mayor to execute the memorandum of understanding, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney. The proposed memorandum of understanding would allow surveillance cameras to be installed, operated, and maintained at the El Toro Water District’s Oso Lift Station for the purpose of surveilling Woods End Wilderness Preserve, public right-of-way, and the Oso Lift Station. The installation of surveillance cameras at the proposed location has been contemplated since the initiation of the Woods End Wilderness Preserve Trail Drainage and Improvement Project, in part, due to human activity being a leading cause of wildfires. Locating surveillance cameras on an ITEM 7.0
Item 7.0 – Page 6 of 7 CC  05-20-2026
existing pole on the El Toro Water District’s property would serve public safety purposes for both agencies and avoid placing a new pole. The proposed memorandum of understanding would not allow the installation of automated license plate recognition systems.

7.13 General Municipal Election
[1] Adoption of a resolution calling and giving notice of the holding of a general municipal election to be held on Tuesday, November 3, 2026 for the election of certain officers as required by the provisions of the laws of the State of California related to general law cities.

AND
[2] Adoption of a resolution requesting the Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange to consolidate a general municipal election to be held on Tuesday, November 3, 2026 with the general election to be held on the same date, pursuant to California Elections Code Section 10403.

AND
[3] Adoption of a resolution adopting regulations for candidates for elective office pertaining to candidate statements submitted to the voters at the general municipal election to be held on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, including, but not limited to, the amount of the charge that would be levied against candidates for a candidate statement to be included in voter information guides.

AND
[4] Adoption of a resolution providing for tie votes at the general municipal election to be held on Tuesday, November 3, 2026 to be resolved by lot, in accordance with California Elections Code Section 15651.

The proposed resolutions pertain to the General Municipal Election that will be held on November 3, 2026, for the regularly scheduled election of two members of the City Council for the full term of four years (the offices currently held by Mayor McCary and Councilmember Moore).

The candidate filing period will be July 13 through August 7, 2026. If one or more incumbents does not file by August 7, 2026, the filing deadline will be extended through August 12, 2026 for non-incumbents only.

Recommendation #3 (Attachment C) includes adoption of the amount of the charge that would be levied against candidates for a candidate statement to be included in voter information guides. Including a candidate statement in voter information guides is optional and at the discretion of each candidate. While state law allows the City to charge candidates ITEM 7.0
CC  05-20-2026 Item 7.0 – Page 7 of 7
for the actual cost of candidate statements (and many cities do so), the City’s longstanding practice has been to charge candidates a flat amount less than the actual cost. For the past six elections (2012-2024), the flat amount has been $300. For the last three elections (2000, 2022, and 2024), the City’s actual costs per candidate statement were $500.28, $502.16, and $616.35, respectively, meaning that the City subsidized candidate statements by approximately 40% in 2020 and 2022 and approximately 51% in 2024. In anticipation of actual costs continuing to increase, staff recommends setting the flat amount at $370 for the 2026 election, which would be 60% of the actual cost per 2024 candidate statement, rounded to the nearest whole dollar. The proposed resolution includes the $370 flat amount.

7.14 City Manager Professional Development Expenditures Authorization of expenditures from the existing General Fund budget for the City Manager’s membership in the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) and registration to participate in ICMA’s Annual Conference, October 17-21, 2026, in Long Beach, California, in an amount not to exceed $2,115. ICMA is an association of professional city and county managers and other employees who serve local governments. More information on ICMA is available at www.icma.org. ICMA’s Annual Conference is not typically held in California, which has limited the City Manager’s ability to participate in prior years (e.g., in 2025 it was held in Florida, and in 2027 it will be held in Canada).

ITEM 7.3
1 AGREEMENT FOR ANIMAL CONTROL AND SHELTER SERVICES
THIS AGREEMENT, entered into this 1st day of July 2026, which date is enumerated for purposes of reference only, by and between the CITY OF LAGUNA BEACH, a municipal corporation, hereinafter referred to as “LAGUNA BEACH,” and the CITY OF LAGUNA WOODS, a municipal corporation, hereinafter referred to as “LAGUNA WOODS.”
WITNESSETH:

LAGUNA WOODS desires to contract with LAGUNA BEACH for the performance of the hereinafter-described animal control and animal shelter services.

LAGUNA BEACH is willing and able to render such services on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED as follows:

1. TERM
A. This Agreement shall become effective on July 1, 2026 and continue in effect for a period of twelve months
ending on June 30, 2027 unless otherwise terminated as
described in paragraph 2.

2. TERMINATION
A. Either party may terminate this Agreement without cause by providing written notice of said termination to the other party. The written notice of termination must be given at least six (6) months in advance of the effective date of the termination.

3. SERVICES
A. LAGUNA BEACH agrees to provide animal control services within the corporate limits of LAGUNA WOODS. The level of animal control and shelter services to be provided under this Agreement are enumerated below. Services provided by
LAGUNA BEACH shall include the enforcement of State statutes and Municipal Code sections deemed applicable to LAGUNA WOODS by LAGUNA BEACH. LAGUNA BEACH will not be
obligated to enforce any ordinances adopted by LAGUNA
WOODS except those adopted in compliance with Paragraph 5 of this Agreement and ordinances pertaining to spay, neutering, and number of animals permitted. Services shall be provided in the following categories:

ITEM 7.3
2 1) FIELD SERVICES: LAGUNA BEACH shall be responsible for and provide all animal control field services in LAGUNA WOODS. Field services shall generally be provided seven days a week, 365 days a year, between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. and as late as 6:00 p.m. when overlapping staff are available. Calls for service will be dispatched and handled based first on priority and then as they were received. Field service activities shall include, but are not, at the discretion of the LAGUNA BEACH Animal Services staff, limited to: impounding and/or capture of stray dogs; impounding of unattended dogs or cats due to death or illness of the owner where a family member or other person is not available; pick up or disposal of injured raccoons, opossums, deer, bobcats, coyotes, mountain lions; transportation of all injured impounded animals to appropriate medical treatment; conduct cruelty investigations; bite investigations; chronic barking dog complaints; manage and conduct quarantine activities; enforcement of state laws and local ordinances and issuance of citations; impounding of dead animals for disposal; and public information and education services regarding barking dogs, wildlife or other animal concerns.

While LAGUNA BEACH intends to maintain routine coverage of two animal services officers each day in LAGUNA BEACH, LAGUNA WOODS accepts and understands that the animal services officers are limited in number, and as employees, routinely take leave in the form of vacation, sick, holidays, “Family Leave” as set forth in the Family Leave Act, and all other local, state and federally protected leave. During such periods of leave, the ability of LAGUNA BEACH to respond to calls in a timely manner may be significantly impacted. LAGUNA WOODS also accepts and understands that an animal services officer’s position may become vacant, which will also affect the ability of LAGUNA BEACH to respond to calls in a timely manner. In either event, calls for service will be dispatched and handled based first on priority and then as they were received.
2) TELEPHONIC SERVICES: LAGUNA BEACH staff will be available to receive calls for service seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year. LAGUNA BEACH Animal Services staff will take or return calls during the hours when field staff is available to provide advice and/or referrals to members of the community of LAGUNA WOODS for the proper handling and/or disposal of feral cats, rats, mice, rabbits, gophers, squirrels, insects, spiders or other “vector” species.
3) SPECIAL SERVICES: LAGUNA BEACH shall be responsible for and provide all pet licensing and license renewal, canvassing, and animal facility licensing and inspection in LAGUNA WOODS. New license applications shall be made available at Laguna Woods City Hall, the Laguna Beach Animal Shelter, and in the field through routine contact ITEM 7.3
3 with Animal Services Officers. Pet License renewals shall be processed and issued by mail through the existing renewal process, or in person at the Laguna Beach Animal Shelter. LAGUNA BEACH will process renewals and answer telephone and in-person questions regarding licensing requirements. LAGUNA BEACH shall periodically canvass LAGUNA WOODS residences, as appropriate, to locate and license unlicensed dogs.

Some animal-related businesses in LAGUNA WOODS will be inspected annually as required by law and in response to any complaints to assure that facilities meet required laws and standards. LAGUNA BEACH shall provide advance notification of such inspections to LAGUNA WOODS, and will advise LAGUNA WOODS of any violations and/or enforcement action taken.

A low-cost vaccination clinic will be coordinated and conducted once a year. The clinic will be located at the Laguna Beach Animal Shelter at 20612 Laguna Canyon Road, or at another appropriate location within the City of Laguna Woods
4) SHELTER SERVICES: LAGUNA BEACH shall be responsible for and provide animal shelter services to LAGUNA WOODS. Services shall be provided at the Laguna Beach Animal Shelter, 20612 Laguna Canyon Road, Laguna Beach. The shelter will be open to the public to locate lost pets or for pet adoption seven days per week, except holidays. Public hours may vary from day to day, but will generally be between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.

A. LAGUNA BEACH agrees to maintain its animal shelter in a humane manner and keep said premises in a clean condition at all times in accordance with policies and the budget approved by LAGUNA BEACH for the shelter, and that all services furnished by it hereunder shall be in accordance with the laws of the State of California, and that it will give required notices and use humane methods of care and destruction of any animal coming under its jurisdiction pursuant to its policies.

After review by the Evaluation Committee, vicious or seriously sick or injured domestic animals may be euthanized by lethal injection.

B. LAGUNA WOODS understands that while the cost of the services provided were originally based on the salary and benefits of one full-time Animal Services Officer, LAGUNA BEACH is entering into the agreement with the expectation that the actual field services provided should not exceed 1250 hours annually.

ITEM 7.3
4 LAGUNA WOODS understands that the expense of operating the entire Animal Services program also includes but is not limited to the operation of the Animal Shelter facility, medical treatment of animals, animal disposal, police communications, administration, management, supervision, report preparation, court testimony, ongoing training, and driving time between the two cities.

C. LAGUNA WOODS agrees to maintain all animal service-related fees and license fees equal to the fee schedule of LAGUNA BEACH.

D. LAGUNA WOODS understands that all revenues generated through licensing, fines, penalties, and fees generated through the activities and actions described in this agreement will not be reimbursed to LAGUNA WOODS. Such revenues will be used to offset the variable costs of setting up the licensing records of all licensed dogs, printing of related forms, notices, documents, tags, and care and feeding of impounded animals.

E. LAGUNA BEACH shall furnish and supply all necessary labor, supervision, equipment and supplies to provide the services described in this Agreement. In all instances wherein special supplies, stationery, notices, forms and the like are issued in the name of LAGUNA WOODS, the same shall be supplied by
LAGUNA WOODS at its own expense subject to approval by
LAGUNA WOODS.

F. The method by which services are provided, the standard of performance, any other matters incidental to the performance of such services, and the control of personnel so employed, shall be determined by LAGUNA BEACH. In the event of a dispute
between the parties as to the extent of the duties and functions to be provided hereunder, or the level and manner of such services, the parties shall meet in good faith to resolve their differences. In the event of an impasse, the decision of the City Manager of LAGUNA BEACH shall be final.

G. To facilitate the performance of services hereunder, LAGUNA BEACH shall have full cooperation and assistance from LAGUNA WOODS, its officers, agents and employees.

5) TRAINING SERVICES.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, this Agreement shall terminate at any time that LAGUNA WOODS fails to enact, and to maintain in full force and effect an ordinance substantially the same as the provisions of Title 6 of the LAGUNA BEACH Municipal Code, and other regulations presently adopted by the LAGUNA BEACH City Council concerning animal control, including those which relate to fees. This Agreement shall also terminate if LAGUNA WOODS does not enact the same amendments to its Municipal Code as those adopted by LAGUNA BEACH City Council regarding animal control within sixty (60) days after a request to do so by LAGUNA BEACH’S City Manager.

If City is required to pay for such increases, County, at the request of City, will thereafter reduce the level of service provided to City to a level that will make the Maximum Obligation of City an amount specified by City.

The purpose of such adjustment of service levels will be to give City the option of keeping its Maximum Obligation hereunder at the pre-increase level or at any other higher or lower level specified by City. In the event of such reduction in level of service and adjustment of costs, the parties shall execute an amendment to this Contract. Decisions about how to reduce the level of service provided to City shall be made by Sheriff with the approval of City.

If the County is charged any of the before mentioned fees, the City shall be responsible for payment of these fees to the County.

6. Late Penalties: County shall charge City late payment penalties in accordance with County Billing Policy.

7. Licensing Payments: As payment for the Licensing Services described in this Contract, County shall retain all fees paid by applicants for licenses pursuant to City ordinances.

If City increases the fee schedule for the licensing ordinances, either party shall have the right to seek amendment of this Contract with respect to the division of the increased fees between City and County.

ATTACHMENT

POLICY FOR DISTRIBUTION OF FORFEITED AND SEIZED ASSETS

BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sheriff’s Department provides contract law enforcement services to cities in Orange County. Because of the increased likelihood that contracted patrol or investigation personnel may become involved in significant narcotic seizures, which could affect law enforcement services provided by the Sheriff’s Department to contract cities, the following policy is in effect.

CONTRACTED PATROL AND INVESTIGATION OFFICERS
When assets (cash or property) are seized in CITY by contracted patrol or investigation personnel, and subsequently forfeited to COUNTY’s Sheriff Department, hereinafter referred to as “SHERIFF”, the forfeited assets shall be shared with CITY as set forth below, for the purpose of augmenting law enforcement services in CITY, subject to guidelines by the forfeiting agency of such sharing and use of forfeited assets. A portion of forfeited assets may be retained by SHERIFF, to pay for departmental expenses not recovered through law enforcement contracts.

In such cases, pursuant to the forfeiting agency’s guidelines, SHERIFF shall apply to the forfeiting agency for the return of a share of assets. In his application, SHERIFF shall specify the percentage of shared assets returned to SHERIFF that will be used to augment law enforcement services in CITY and the use of said assets by CITY.

In those cases in which assets are seized within CITY by personnel assigned to CITY pursuant to this Agreement, without the involvement of other law enforcement personnel, and in which the seizure is a result solely of activities self-initiated by SHERIFF personnel assigned to CITY or initiated by said personnel in response to calls for service within CITY, SHERIFF shall apply to have all of the assets used to augment CITY law enforcement services.

In those cases in which SHERIFF personnel assigned to CITY pursuant to this Agreement play an ancillary role in a seizure or in which other law enforcement personnel are involved in a seizure, SHERIFF shall determine the percentage of the total forfeited assets for which he will apply to augment CITY’s law enforcement services. This determination will be based on the circumstances of the seizure, including the pro-rata involvement of all personnel, including those assigned to CITY.

Each seizure will be evaluated on an individual and independent basis, and said evaluations will be available for review to CITY’s manager. Examples of those incidents which would be evaluated as set forth in this section include situations in which a contract patrol deputy provides uniformed backup at a SHERIFF’s Narcotic Bureau search warrant location or in which contract investigators participate in the service of a search warrant that was initiated by non-contract law enforcement personnel.

Assets (cash or property) that are returned to SHERIFF by the forfeiting agency with the understanding that they will be used to augment CITY law enforcement services shall be used by CITY and SHERIFF only for such purposes. If the forfeiting agency attaches additional or more specific conditions to the use of said assets, CITY and SHERIFF shall also abide by those conditions. SHERIFF and CITY’s manager shall determine the specific use of said assets within the conditions imposed by the forfeiting agency.

CONSULTANT agrees to provide CITY with copies of required policies upon request.

SECTION 15. ASSIGNMENT.

The expertise and experience of CONSULTANT are material considerations for this AGREEMENT. CITY has an interest in the qualifications of and capability of the persons and entities who will fulfill the duties and obligations imposed upon CONSULTANT under this AGREEMENT. In recognition of that interest, CONSULTANT shall not assign or transfer this Agreement or any portion of this AGREEMENT or the performance of any of CONSULTANT's duties or obligations under this AGREEMENT without the prior written consent of the City Council. Any attempted assignment shall be ineffective, null and void, and shall constitute a material breach of this AGREEMENT entitling CITY to any and all remedies at law or in equity, including summary termination of this AGREEMENT. CITY acknowledges, however, that CONSULTANT, in the performance of its duties pursuant to this AGREEMENT, may utilize subcontractors. CONSULTANT shall be solely liable and responsible for the actions, conduct, and performance of subcontractors, including but not limited to ensuring their compliance with SECTION 10 "COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS; PERMITS AND LICENSES" of this AGREEMENT.

In the event such notice is given, CITY may require CONSULTANT to cease immediately all work in progress. (b) CONSULTANT may terminate this AGREEMENT at any time upon sixty (60) days written notice of termination to CITY. In the event such notice is given, CITY may require CONSULTANT to cease immediately all work in progress.
(c) If CONSULTANT fails to perform any material obligation under this AGREEMENT, then, in addition to any other remedies, CITY may terminate this AGREEMENT immediately upon written notice.
(d) Upon termination of this AGREEMENT by either CONSULTANT or CITY, all ITEM 7.6

Page 9 of 11 ends

property belonging exclusively to CITY which is in CONSULTANT's possession shall be returned to CITY immediately upon demand by CITY, notwithstanding any billing disputes that may then exist under this AGREEMENT.

This final invoice shall be reviewed and paid in the same manner as set forth in SECTION 4 of this AGREEMENT.

SECTION 18. DEFAULT.

In the event that CONSULTANT is in default under the terms of this AGREEMENT, the CITY shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating CONSULTANT for any work performed after the date of default and may terminate this AGREEMENT immediately by written notice to the CONSULTANT.

SECTION 19. EXCUSABLE DELAYS.

CONSULTANT shall not be liable for damages, including liquidated damages, if any, caused by delay in performance or failure to perform due to causes beyond the control of CONSULTANT. Such causes include, but are not limited to, acts of God, acts of the public enemy, acts of federal, state, or local governments, court orders, fires, floods, epidemics, strikes, embargoes, and unusually severe weather. The term and price of this AGREEMENT shall be equitably adjusted for any delays due to such causes.

SECTION 20. COOPERATION BY CITY.

All public information, data, reports, records, and maps as are existing and available to CITY as public records, and which are necessary for carrying out the work as outlined in the EXHIBIT "A" "SCOPE OF SERVICES", shall be furnished to CONSULTANT in a reasonable way to facilitate, without undue delay, the work to be performed under this AGREEMENT.

PRESS RELEASE
Woods End Trailhead Reopens After Renovation

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 5, 2026
LAGUNA WOODS, CA – The City of Laguna Woods’ Woods End Trailhead reopened on May 5, 2026, after having been closed for several months of renovation.

The Woods End Trailhead is part of a 10.6-acre property owned by the City of Laguna Woods and operated by OC Parks that provides hiking access to the Laguna Coast Wilderness Park, including the nearby James Dilley Greenbelt Preserve and Barbara’s Lake.

It is located at 24995 El Toro Road, Laguna Woods, CA 92637, just north of the intersection of El Toro Road and Aliso Creek Road.

The Laguna Woods City Council and representatives from Assemblymember Dixon’s Office, Senator Choi’s Office, OC Parks, and the Coastal Greenbelt Authority celebrated the City of Laguna Woods’ renovation of the Woods End Trailhead at a small gathering on May 5, 2026. The renovation was partially funded by California Proposition 68 and includes new monument signage, new facilities to manage stormwater runoff, and refreshed street-side fencing and landscaping. Four on-street parking spaces are provided.

The Woods End Trailhead property was purchased by the City of Laguna Woods in 2002 for open space preservation and wilderness park access. Prior to its purchase, private owners had contemplated constructing single-family homes on the property.

For more information on the Woods End Trailhead or the Laguna Coast Wilderness Park, please call OC Parks at (949) 923-2235 or visit www.ocparks.com/lagunacoast. # # #

MOU – City of Laguna Woods/ETWD Surveillance Cameras – Oso Lift Station | 1 of 5

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

TO ALLOW THE CITY OF LAGUNA WOODS TO INSTALL, OPERATE, AND MAINTAIN SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS AT THE EL TORO WATER DISTRICT’S OSO LIFT STATION (“MOU”)

1. AGREEMENT TO INSTALL, OPERATE, AND MAINTAIN SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS.

Effective on the date of execution below, the El Toro Water District, a California Water District formed and existing pursuant to Section 34000 et seq. of the California Water Code (“ETWD”) consents to the City of Laguna Woods, a California municipal corporation (“CITY”) causing surveillance cameras to be installed, operated, and maintained at the El Toro Water District’s Oso Lift Station for the purpose of surveilling Woods End Wilderness Preserve, public right-of-way, and the Oso Lift Station. CITY’s integration of such surveillance cameras with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department’s Connect Orange County program – should CITY elect to do so – is also specifically authorized by ETWD. The Oso Lift Station is located at Orange County Assessor’s Parcel Number 622-071-21 in the City of Laguna Woods in the vicinity of the intersection of El Toro Road and Aliso Creek Road. The term of the parties’ agreement as set forth in this MOU shall commence on the date of execution below and end at 11:59 p.m. on June 30, 2036. Such term may be terminated by either party to this MOU with 30 calendar days written notice to the other party.

Such term may be extended upon written agreement of both parties to this MOU.

2. PURCHASE. CITY shall be responsible for purchasing all surveillance cameras and associated equipment at its sole expense. The specific make and model of the surveillance cameras shall be subject to mutual agreement of CITY’s City Manager and ETWD’s General Manager.

Surveillance cameras and associated equipment purchased by CITY shall remain its property at all times and be removed by CITY within 30 calendar days of the expiration or termination of this MOU, whichever occurs first.

3. LOCATION AND MANNER OF INSTALLATION. CITY shall only install surveillance cameras on the light pole at the Oso Lift Station highlighted on the site plan attached hereto as Exhibit A. Surveillance cameras and associated equipment shall be pole-mounted and connected to existing electrical service at the Oso Lift Station. No ground-mounted equipment shall be installed. The specific installation location(s) and manner(s) of installation on the light pole shall require the prior approval of ETWD’s General Manager. This MOU does not obligate ETWD to consent to any specific installation location(s) or manner(s) of installation.

4. ELECTRICAL SERVICE. Once installed, the cost of electrical service to the surveillance cameras and associated equipment shall be ETWD’s responsibility at its sole expense. ETWD’s obligation to provide electrical service shall not extend beyond paying utility service costs. Any costs associated with installing and maintaining connections between the surveillance cameras, all associated equipment, and the electrical service for such connections, shall be CITY’s responsibly at its sole expense.

5. MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT. CITY shall be responsible for all necessary maintenance and replacement of surveillance cameras and associated equipment, with the only exception being electrical service which shall be ETWD’s responsibility at its sole expense. CITY agrees to maintain surveillance cameras and associated equipment in good working condition.

ITEM 7.12
MOU – City of Laguna Woods/ETWD Surveillance Cameras – Oso Lift Station | 2 of 5 CITY and ETWD shall perform their obligations under this Section 5 at their sole expense.

6. ACCESS. ETWD shall provide CITY and its contractors with access to the Oso Lift Station, as necessary, to perform obligations under this MOU. Such access shall require escort by ETWD and be coordinated with ETWD at least 72 hours in advance, unless otherwise agreed. Such access shall be provided during ETWD’s normal working hours, unless otherwise agreed. Should access outside ETWD’s normal working hours be required, CITY agrees to compensate ETWD for overtime costs. This Section 6 shall not be interpreted as preventing CITY from performing its obligations under this MOU from its property adjacent to the Oso Lift Station (e.g., with a crane or boom truck), provided CITY provides ETWD with prior notice of its intent to do so and ETWD does not object, which objection shall not be unreasonable. ETWD agrees to not unreasonably withhold CITY’s access to the Oso Lift Station.

7. USE. CITY shall provide ETWD with access to real-time and recorded footage captured by the surveillance cameras, at no cost to ETWD. CITY’s and ETWD’s access to and use of footage captured by the surveillance cameras shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations including, without limitation, privacy laws. The surveillance cameras shall not function as, or be part of, an “automated license plate recognition system,” as that term is defined in California Civil Code Section 1798.90.5(d), or successor state statute.

8. NOTICES. All notices required or permitted to be given under this MOU shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered, or sent by telecopy or certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

Item 8.1 – Page 2 of 5 CC  05-20-2026
CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT CUP-2025-0007 TO AMEND PLANNING APPLICATION PA99-0027 TO ALLOW FOR THE MODIFICATION OF

PAVEMENT STRIPING, MARKINGS, AND LEGENDS, AS WELL AS THE

INSTALLATION OF RELATED SIGNAGE, WITHIN AN EXISTING PARKING LOT AND

DETERMINING AND CERTIFYING THAT THE ORDINANCE IS EXEMPT FROM THE

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
Background
Andrew Fogg, Esq. with Cox, Castle & Nicholson LLP (“Applicant”) has submitted a land use application seeking approval of Conditional Use Permit CUP-2025-0007, which would amend Planning Application PA99-0027 to allow for the modification of pavement striping, markings, and legends, as well as the installation of related signage, within an existing parking lot and parking structure to increase the number of accessible and alternative vehicle parking stalls, resulting in a net increase of one parking stall, at 24361 El Toro Road, Laguna Woods, CA 92637.

The project location is located generally northeast of the intersection of El Toro Road and Calle Sonora and includes a two-story professional office building with a ground-level parking structure that is sometimes referred to as the “Garden Building” or “Garden Office Building.” The project, if approved, would result in modifications to only the ground-level parking structure and the existing surface parking lot at the project location.

The Orange County Assessor’s Parcel Number for the project location is 616-012-21 and the property owner is Juniper Town Centre PB, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

A vicinity map is included as Attachment B.

The project location is within the Professional and Administrative Office (PA) zoning district.

Professional and Administrative Office designates areas to “provide for the development and preservation of an optimal environment for low to moderate intensity professional and administrative office uses and related uses on sites with large pervious open spaces and offstreet parking facilities” (Laguna Woods Municipal Code Section 13.10.010).

Prior to the City’s incorporation, the County of Orange approved Planning Application PA99- 0027 to allow for the development of the project location. As part of that approval, a total of 170 parking stalls were required across the parking lot and parking structure.

Discussion
The City Council is asked to conduct a public hearing on the application for Conditional Use Permit CUP-2025-0007 and, thereafter, consider approval of the same (Attachment A). Staff recommends approval, subject to the proposed conditions of approval (Exhibit A to Attachment A). The proposed conditions of approval would regulate the project in a manner consistent with the Laguna Woods Zoning Code.

At some point subsequent to the County of Orange’s approval of Planning Application PA99- 0027 and without City approval, the parking structure was modified to convert two standard parking stalls to one accessible parking stall and an access aisle, resulting in a reduction of one required parking stall and deviation from the approved parking plan.

The proposed conditional use permit would resolve inconsistency between the parking required by Planning Application PA99-0027, the parking that currently exists, and the parking required by applicable codes, to ensure adequate parking is provided for the existing uses. “Adequate parking” includes ensuring that parking demands generated by all allowed uses at the project location are accommodated on-site at the project location.

The proposed conditional use permit includes modifications of pavement striping, markings, and legends, as well as the installation of related signage, to do the following:
• Parking Lot – Convert three standard parking stalls into four alternative vehicle parking stalls and one “no parking” aisle
• Parking Structure – Convert two standard parking stalls into two accessible parking stalls and one access aisle
The proposed modifications would result in a net increase of one parking stall.

ITEM 8.1
Item 8.1 – Page 4 of 5 CC  05-20-2026
The proposed conditional use permit would apply to the existing parking lot and parking structure based on existing uses within the building served by the same, as well as eligible successors, at the project location.

Fiscal Impact
The City’s expenses associated with processing this project are recovered through planning services fees.

Environmental Review
The City Council is asked to find that the project is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, Public Resources Code Section 21000, et. seq., as amended and implementing State CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (collectively “CEQA”) pursuant to sections 15060(c)(2) (the activities will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activities are not a project as defined in section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3.

The City Council is also asked to find that, even if the project were subject to CEQA, it would be categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15301 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, in that it consists of the operation or permitting of existing private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. Section 15301 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations states explicitly that the “key consideration [in determining whether such an exemption applies to a project] is whether the project involves negligible or no expansion of use.”
Prior to the City’s incorporation, the County of Orange approved Planning Application PA99- 0027 to allow for the development of the project location. As part of that approval, a total of 170 parking stalls were required across the parking lot and parking structure. At some point subsequent to the County of Orange’s approval of Planning Application PA99-0027 and without City approval, the parking structure was modified to convert two standard parking stalls to one accessible parking stall and an access aisle, resulting in a reduction of one required parking stall and deviation from the approved parking plan. The proposed conditional use permit would allow for modifications of pavement striping, markings, and legends, as well as the installation of related signage, to resolve inconsistency between the parking required by Planning Application PA99-0027, the parking that currently exists, and the parking required by applicable codes.

No change in the uses currently approved for the project location are included in the project.

Physical alterations included in the project are limited to exterior site improvements, including the installation of parking signage and minor modifications to pavement striping, ITEM 8.1
CC  05-20-2026 Item 8.1 – Page 5 of 5
markings, and legends. Topographical features, impervious area, and the size of the existing building on the project site would remain unchanged.

Documents Available for Review
Related documents – including the applicant’s application and Planning Application PA99- 0027 – are available for public review at City Hall during normal working hours.

ITEM 8.1 – Attachment A
R 26-XX 2 XX-XX-2026
WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites have occurred prior to the adoption of this resolution; and
WHEREAS, the City Council makes the following findings subject to the conditions of approval:

Findings for All Discretionary Permits

1. The use or project proposed is consistent with the General Plan.

The proposed project is consistent with the Commercial land use designation of the General Plan, which is intended to allow for “a broad range of non-residential and non-industrial uses.” The project location includes an existing building primarily used for professional offices, which are explicitly identified in the General Plan as typical commercial uses. The proposed project does not include any change in the uses currently approved for the project location. The proposed project is either in conformance with the General Plan’s maximum floor area ratio of 0.30 for the Commercial land use designation or was constructed prior to the effective date of such maximum floor area ratio. The proposed project does not include any change in the size of the existing building at the project location. Policy Objective M-8.1 of the General Plan Mobility Element is to “establish and apply standards for development projects to provide adequate parking facilities for the proposed land uses based on location and expected trip generation.” The proposed project will resolve inconsistency between the parking required by Planning Application PA99- 0027, the parking that currently exists, and the parking required by applicable codes, to ensure adequate parking is provided for the existing uses.

2. The use, activity or improvement(s) proposed is consistent with the provisions of the Zoning Code.

The improvements included in the proposed project are consistent with the purpose and intent of the Professional and Administrative Office (PA) zoning district, which is to “provide for the development and preservation of an optimal environment for low to moderate intensity professional and administrative office uses and related uses on sites with large pervious open spaces and off-street parking facilities.” The proposed project is parking-related with all improvements occurring within existing off-street parking facilities serving existing low to moderate intensity professional and administrative office uses. The proposed project does not include any change in the uses currently approved for the project location. Several of the conditions of approval for the proposed project address public health, safety, and general welfare (see Finding #5 below), which further promotes consistency with the provisions of the Laguna Woods Zoning Code.

3. The approval of the permit application is in compliance with the requirements of ITEM 8.1 – Attachment A
R 26-XX 3 XX-XX-2026
the California Environmental Quality Act.

Based on the information received from the Applicant and City staff’s assessment of the same, the proposed project has been determined to not be subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); however, even if the proposed project were subject to CEQA, it would be categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15301 of CEQA. Additional information is contained in Section 2 of this resolution and incorporated herein by this reference.

4. The location, size, design and operating characteristics of the proposed use will not create conditions or situations that may be incompatible with other permitted uses in the vicinity.

The proposed project does not include any change in the uses currently approved for the project location. Physical alterations included in the proposed project are limited to exterior site improvements, including the installation of parking signage and minor modifications to pavement striping, markings, and legends.

Topographical features, impervious area, and the size of the existing building at the project location will remain unchanged. All proposed improvements will occur within existing off-street parking facilities. Both the building and off-street parking facilities have existed for many years. There is no history of incompatibility with the other permitted uses in the vicinity. No incompatibilities with other permitted uses in the vicinity were identified as a result of the review of the Applicant’s application for this conditional use permit. The proposed project will resolve inconsistency between the parking required by Planning Application PA99-0027, the parking that currently exists, and the parking required by applicable codes, to ensure adequate parking is provided for the existing uses. By doing so, the proposed project will ensure that parking demands generated by the proposed project and all other allowed uses at the project location are accommodated on-site at the project location, rather than impacting other permitted uses in the vicinity.

5. The approval of the permit application will not result in conditions or circumstances contrary to the public health and safety and the general welfare.

The conditions of approval for the proposed project will regulate it in a manner consistent with the purpose and intent of the Professional and Administrative Office (PA) zoning district as set forth in Laguna Woods Municipal Code Section

13.10.010(c) (“To provide for the development and preservation of an optimal environment for low to moderate intensity professional and administrative office uses and related uses on sites with large pervious open spaces and off-street parking facilities. This district is intended to be located on heavily traveled streets or adjacent to commercial or industrial districts, and may be used to buffer residential areas.”). As conditioned, the proposed project will not result in conditions or circumstances contrary to the public health and safety and the general welfare.

ITEM 8.1 – Attachment A
R 26-XX 4 XX-XX-2026
Several of the conditions of approval relate to public health, safety, and general welfare including, but not limited to, reservation of the City’s rights to require additional security or safety measures, if warranted. Such conditions of approval will assist in protecting the public from potential risk or danger. The conditions of approval also explicitly require the proposed project to comply with all applicable, then-current requirements of the Laguna Woods Municipal Code and the California Building Standards Code, as well as federal, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations. The proposed project will resolve inconsistency between the parking required by Planning Application PA99-0027, the parking that currently exists, and the parking required by applicable codes, to ensure adequate parking is provided for the existing uses. By doing so, the proposed project will ensure compliance with the California Building Standards Code and other applicable laws, rules, and regulations, which will promote public safety and welfare.

6. The approval of the permit application is in compliance with all City-required public facilities regulations.

The proposed project has been evaluated against all City-required public facilities regulations through the conditional use permit process and is deemed to be in compliance, subject to the conditions of approval. The proposed project will not require the addition or modification of any public facilities, nor heightened levels of service for any public services operating from public facilities.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAGUNA WOODS, CALIFORNIA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct.

SECTION 2. After reviewing the entire project record, the City Council hereby determines and certifies that the project is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, Public Resources Code Section 21000, et. seq., as amended and implementing State CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (collectively “CEQA”) pursuant to sections 15060(c)(2) (the activities will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activities are not a project as defined in section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3.

After reviewing the entire project record, the City Council also hereby determines and certifies that, even if the project were subject to CEQA, it would be categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15301 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, in that it consists of the operation or permitting of existing private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. Section 15301 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations states explicitly ITEM 8.1 – Attachment A
R 26-XX 5 XX-XX-2026
that the “key consideration [in determining whether such an exemption applies to a project] is whether the project involves negligible or no expansion of use.” Prior to the City’s incorporation, the County of Orange approved Planning Application PA99-0027 to allow for the development of the project location. As part of that approval, a total of 170 parking stalls were required across the parking lot and parking structure. At some point subsequent to the County of Orange’s approval of Planning Application PA99- 0027 and without City approval, the parking structure was modified to convert two standard parking stalls to one accessible parking stall and an access aisle, resulting in a reduction of one required parking stall and deviation from the approved parking plan. The project will allow for modifications of pavement striping, markings, and legends, as well as the installation of related signage, to resolve inconsistency between the parking required by Planning Application PA99-0027, the parking that currently exists, and the parking required by applicable codes.

No change in the uses currently approved for the project location are included in the project.

Physical alterations included in the project are limited to exterior site improvements, including the installation of parking signage and minor modifications to pavement striping, markings, and legends. Topographical features, impervious area, and the size of the existing building on the project site will remain unchanged.

SECTION 3. The City Council hereby approves Conditional Use Permit CUP-2025- 0007 (on file with the City Clerk’s Office), subject to the conditions of approval attached to this resolution (Exhibit A), both of which are incorporated herein by this reference.

SECTION 4. The Mayor shall sign this resolution and the City Clerk shall attest and certify to the passage and adoption thereof.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAGUNA WOODS, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTIONS 13.06.010 AND 13.26.230 OF THE LAGUNA

WOODS MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING TO ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND JUNIOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS; AND DETERMINING AND CERTIFYING THAT

THE ORDINANCE IS EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT ITEM 8.2
Item 8.2 – Page 2 of 4 CC  05-20-2026
Background
The General Plan Housing Element includes the following program:
“Program H-1.4.1. Continue to maintain an ordinance that conforms to the provisions of California Government Code Section 65852.2 related to accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units, including amending the ordinance as necessary.” State law defines an “accessory dwelling unit” as an attached or detached residential dwelling unit that provides complete independent living facilities for one or more persons and is located on a lot with a proposed or existing primary residence. It shall include permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation on the same parcel as the single-family or multifamily dwelling is or will be situated. An accessory dwelling unit also includes the following:
a. An efficiency unit, as defined in Section 17958.1 of the California Health and Safety Code, as amended from time to time or replaced with a successor statute. b. A manufactured home, as defined in Section 18007 of the California Health and Safety Code, as amended from time to time or replaced with a successor statute.

State law defines a “junior accessory dwelling unit” as a unit that is no more than 500 square feet of interior livable space in size and contained entirely within a single-family residence.

A junior accessory dwelling unit may include separate sanitation facilities or may share sanitation facilities with the existing structure.

The existing accessory and junior accessory dwelling units ordinance was adopted by the City Council on August 19, 2020 (Ordinance No. 20-01).

On December 5, 2025, the City received a letter from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) advising that due to “the numerous changes to State ADU Law since the adoption of [Ordinance No. 20-01], [Ordinance No. 20-01] may be outdated and out of compliance with State ADU Law” (Attachment B). Staff subsequently began working internally, and with HCD staff, to identify and draft necessary amendments.

Discussion
Today’s meeting is an opportunity for City Council action and public input on an ordinance that would amend Sections 13.06.010 and 13.26.230 of the Laguna Woods Municipal Code pertaining to accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units (Attachment A).

Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing and initiate the adoption process for the proposed ordinance to ensure that regulations are clear and consistent with state law, and clarify and enhance ease of use and application of Section 13.26.230 of the Laguna Woods Municipal Code, both for internal parties and the public.

ITEM 8.2
CC  05-20-2026 Item 8.2 – Page 3 of 4
Information on relevant state laws, including changes to state laws over time, is summarized in the California Department of Housing and Community Development’s Accessory Dwelling Unit Handbook (https://www.hcd.ca.gov/sites/default/files/docs/policy-and-research/aduhandbook-update.pdf).

Irrespective of whether the City Council adopts the proposed ordinance, state law requires the City to permit the development of accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units that comply with applicable provisions of state law.

The proposed ordinance does NOT:
• Require the development of accessory dwelling units or junior accessory dwelling units. State law requires the City to permit the development of accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units, but the ultimate decision to pursue such development remains the purview of private property owners.

OR
• Interfere with or prohibit private property owners or homeowners’ associations’ ability to regulate or prohibit accessory dwelling units or junior accessory dwelling units on lots for which they have lawful control to do so. State law requires homeowners’ associations to comply with California Civil Code Section 4751 and California Government Code sections 65852.2 and 65852.22 as they apply to accessory dwelling units on lots zoned for single-family residential.

If the recommended action is taken at today’s meeting, staff anticipates scheduling the second reading and consideration of adoption of the proposed ordinance for the City Council’s next regular meeting on June 17, 2026. If adopted on June 17, 2026, the ordinance would take effect 30 days thereafter.

Fiscal Impact
Sufficient funds to support this project are included in the City’s budget.

Environmental Review
The City Council is asked to find that the proposed ordinance is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq., as amended and implementing State CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (collectively “CEQA”) pursuant to Section 15282(h) (the adoption of an ordinance regarding second units in a single-family or multifamily residential zone by a city or county to implement the provisions of Sections 65852.1 and 65852.2 of the Government Code as set forth in Section 21080.17 of the Public Resources Code).

ITEM 8.2
Item 8.2 – Page 4 of 4 CC  05-20-2026
The City Council is also asked to find that even if the proposed ordinance were not statutorily exempt from CEQA, it would not be subject to CEQA pursuant to sections 15060(c)(2) (the activities will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activities are not a project as defined in section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3. CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(2) excludes “[c]ontinuing administrative. . . activities, such as . . . general policy and procedure making” and Section 15378(b)(5) excludes “[o]rganizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment” from its definition of “project.” The City Council is also asked to find that, even if the proposed ordinance were subject to CEQA, it would be exempt based on CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.

Documents Available for Review
Related documents – including the proposed ordinance and the Laguna Woods Municipal Code – are available for public review at or from City Hall during normal working hours. The Laguna Woods Municipal Code is also available for review at www.cityoflagunawoods.org.
