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.

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 comparison reflects only revenue known and expenditures paid for the month referenced as of the date prepared. The amounts attributed to the month prior reflect the same amounts included on the monthly financial snapshot for the month prior. 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 comparison, please refer to the full City Treasurer’s Report.

The CEPPT is used to prefund employee pension obligations.

The CERBT is used to prefund statutorily required retiree medical benefits.

SUBJECT: Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Pedestrian Accessibility Improvement Project: Phase 9 – Expanded Scope
Recommendation

Phase 9 – Expanded Scope” as prepared by the project engineer;

2. Accept project completion of the contract agreement with Bear Electrical Solutions, LLC for the construction of the “Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Pedestrian Accessibility Improvement Project: Phase 9 – Expanded Scope” and authorize the City Manager to execute and record, or cause to be executed and recorded, a notice of completion with the County of Orange; and

Summary
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Pedestrian Accessibility Improvement Project:

Phase 9 (“base project”) is included in the Fiscal Years 2025-36 Capital Improvement Program. Due to lower than anticipated costs and the City receiving funding for its waitlist/expanded scope project, the base project has been split into three phases – 9, 9B, and Expanded Scope – all funded by a federal grant.
• Phase 9 involves the reconstruction of the following driveway crossings: (1) El Toro ITEM 7.3
Item 7.3 – Page 2 of 2 CC  09-16-2026

ORANGE COUNTY ENHANCED MOBILITY FOR SENIORS AND INDIVIDUALS WITH ITEM 8.1
Item 8.1 – Page 2 of 4 CC  09-16-2026
DISABILITIES (“EMSD”) GRANT PROGRAM; AND DETERMINING AND CERTIFYING THAT

THE RESOLUTION IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT PURSUANT TO TITLE 14 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS Background
About the EMSD Grant Program
On June 22, 2026, the Orange County Transportation Authority’s (“OCTA”) Board of Directors approved the use of up to $5.85 million for the 2026 Orange County Enhanced Mobility for Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities (“EMSD”) Grant Program’s Call for Projects using local funding support based on Federal Transit Administration Section 5310 amounts allocated to Orange County. At least 55% of the overall amount of funding available ($3.22 million) is available for capital projects (e.g., the purchase of vehicles) with no more than 45% ($2.63 million) available for operating projects (e.g., supplementation of services provided through senior mobility programs).

The 2026 EMSD Grant Program’s Call for Projects states that the EMSD Grant Program is intended to “meet the transportation needs of older adults and people with disabilities when transportation services provided are unavailable, insufficient, or inappropriate to meet these needs.”
City and other public agency applicants for EMSD Grant Program funding are required to hold a public hearing to establish coordination with non-profits and ensure services are not duplicated or overlapping in scope, including services included in any public agency application for funding from the EMSD Grant Program.

In 2024, the City applied for and was awarded a $325,000 grant from the 2024 EMSD Grant Program. That funding is being used to support the Senior Mobility Program and also made it possible to offer $0 fares for trips to or from the Laguna Hills Transportation Center and the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center.

About the Senior Mobility Program
The Senior Mobility Program subsidizes the cost of taxi travel for Laguna Woods residents who are at least 60 years of age. Enrolled residents receive an identification card that reduces regular Yellow Cab fares to the following co-pays, for all trips starting or ending in Laguna Woods:
• $0 to or from the Laguna Hills Transportation Center
• $0 to or from Irvine Station
• $0 to or from the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center • $8 for trips up to 10 miles within Orange County (each way) • $18 for trips between 10.1 and 15 miles within Orange County (each way) ITEM 8.1
CC  09-16-2026 Item 8.1 – Page 3 of 4
• $28 for trips over 15 miles within Orange County (each way) • $28 for trips to or from VA Long Beach
• $40 for trips to or from John Wayne Airport
Discussion
Today’s meeting is an opportunity for City Council action, as well as public input, on actions related to the submittal of an application to OCTA requesting funding from the 2026 EMSD Grant Program to support the Senior Mobility Program. Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing and then take the recommended actions to pursue supplemental funding for the Senior Mobility Program.

The City’s application for funding from the 2026 EMSD Grant Program is for a $325,000 grant with a required $81,250 local match. If awarded funding, those monies would be used to offset the costs of the following Senior Mobility Program trips:
• Trips to or from Laguna Hills Transportation Center
• Trips to or from Irvine Station
• Trips over 10 miles within Orange County
• Trips to or from Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center • Trips to or from John Wayne Airport
The trips that would be offset by 2026 EMSD Grant Program funding (i) support OCTA’s goal of providing “first-and-last mile” connections and/or (ii) generally provide transportation at greater distances, for longer hours, for broader purposes, and/or without limitations on the number of trips, as compared to local transportation services provided by non-profits.

The OCTA Board of Directors is tentatively scheduled to vote on funding awards in December 2026. If the City is awarded funding, it would be available in Fiscal Year 2027-28. That timing would allow the funding to be incorporated into the next two-year budget and work plan.

Fiscal Impact
Demand for Senior Mobility Program services continues to be strong. 29,759 trips totaling 252,535.99 miles were provided in the most recently completed fiscal year (Fiscal Year 2025-26). The City’s costs for that same period (not including staff time) were $510,799.48, of which $217,951.66 was funded from the General Fund and $292,847.82 from Measure M and the 2024 EMSD Grant Program.

Supplemental funding for the Senior Mobility Program would augment the existing funding and help ensure services can continue uninterrupted. If awarded the full amount of the requested funding, the City would be able to maintain all existing fares to remain stable and unchanged through June 30, 2029.

ITEM 8.1
Item 8.1 – Page 4 of 4 CC  09-16-2026
The EMSD Grant Program includes a local match requirement that would be funded using a portion of the unassigned General Fund balance in accordance with Section 2.9.04(7) of Administrative Policy 2.9 (“Grant funds are often distributed on a reimbursement basis, meaning that the City is required to make expenditures in advance of receiving the offsetting revenue. The unassigned General Fund balance may be used to make temporary “loans” to grant-funded programs, projects, and services until reimbursements are received. Such temporary “loans” are not reflected in the budget.”)
Environmental Review
The City Council is asked to find that the public hearing and submittal of an application for funding from the EMSD Grant Program are 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. CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) excludes “[t]he creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment” 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 public hearing and submittal of an application for funding from the EMSD Grant Program would not authorize any construction or physical change or improvement. Even if funding were to be awarded (which is unknown at this time), the Senior Mobility Program for which funding is sought provides financial subsidies to eligible Laguna Woods residents traveling by taxi within Orange County or to the Tibor Rubin VA Medical Center in Long Beach. The Senior Mobility Program does not include any construction or physical change or improvement.

SUBJECT: Building, Planning, Encroachment, and Grading Permit Fees Recommendation
Approve second reading and adopt an ordinance – read by title with further reading waived – titled:

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAGUNA WOODS, CALIFORNIA, ADDING SECTION 10.02.050 TO CHAPTER 10.02 OF TITLE 10 (BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION) OF THE LAGUNA WOODS MUNICIPAL CODE

PERTAINING TO THE WAIVER OR REDUCTION OF CITY-ENACTED BUILDING FEES

FOR SPECIFIED PURPOSES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PURPOSES CONSISTENT WITH CALIFORNIA HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE SECTIONS 17951.5 AND 17951.7 AND LAGUNA WOODS GENERAL PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT PROGRAMS H-1.2.5. AND H-2.2.2.; AND DETERMINING AND CERTIFYING THAT THE

ORDINANCE IS EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT Background
On August 19, 2026, the City Council voted unanimously to approve the introduction and first reading of the proposed ordinance, which would allow for the waiver or reduction of Cityenacted building fees for specified purposes (Attachment A).

California Health and Safety Code Section 17951.5 allows cities to “waive or reduce all building permit fees for improvements to the home of a veteran with a qualifying disability that are made to accommodate that disability.” For the purpose of California Health and Safety Code Section 17951.5, “qualified disability” means “a disability that is recognized as service connected by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.” California Health and Safety Code Section 17951.7 allows cities to “waive or reduce all ITEM 9.1
Item 9.1 – Page 2 of 4 CC  09-16-2026
building permit fees for improvements to the home of a person at least 60 years of age with a qualifying disability that are made to accommodate that disability.” For the purpose of California Health and Safety Code Section 17951.7, “qualified disability” means “a physical or mental disability as defined in [California Government Code Section 12926(j) and (m)].” The General Plan Housing Element includes the following fee-related programs:
• Program H-1.2.5. Adopt an ordinance waiving or reducing City building permit fees for housing projects in which at least 5% of housing units are affordable for extremely low income households; at least 10% of housing units are affordable for very low or low-income households; or, at least 50% of housing units are affordable for moderate-income households. To be eligible, the affordable housing units shall be subject to an affordability covenant for at least 55 years. • Program H-2.2.2. Adopt an ordinance waiving or reducing City building permit fees for improvements to the home of a person at least 60 years of age with a qualifying disability that are made to accommodate that disability, as provided for by California Health and Safety Code Section 17951.7. Consider including provisions allowing for similar building permit fee waivers or reductions for improvements to the home of a person with a qualifying disability that are made to accommodate that disability, regardless of age. Prepare and maintain a flyer with related information. Conduct annual outreach to nonprofit organizations known to provide medical or social services to residents with disabilities. Conduct biennial outreach to residents residing in census tracts 626.22 and 626.48 due to their comparatively lower economic domain scores from the TCAC/HCD Opportunity Map.

Discussion
Today’s meeting is an opportunity for City Council action and public input on an ordinance that would allow for the waiver or reduction of City-enacted building fees for specified purposes (Attachment A). Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed ordinance to allow for the waiver or reduction of City-enacted building fees for specified purposes including, but not limited to, purposes consistent with California Health and Safety Code sections 17951.5 and 17951.7 and Laguna Woods General Plan Housing Element programs H-1.2.5. and H-2.2.2.

The proposed ordinance would establish the following fee waiver programs:

1. Veterans with Disabilities Building Fee Waiver Program. The City Manager or their designee would be directed to waive 100% of City-enacted building permit fees for improvements to the home of a veteran with a qualifying disability that are made to accommodate that disability, as provided for by California Health and Safety Code Section 17951.5. This waiver would not apply to fees that state law requires the City to charge in connection with building permits (e.g., Strong Motion Instrumentation ITEM 9.1
CC  09-16-2026 Item 9.1 – Page 3 of 4
Program ("SMIP") and Building Standards Administration Special Revolving Fund (“SB 1473") fees). “Qualifying disability” would mean a disability that is recognized as service connected by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. o State law provides the City Council with discretion as to the amount of fees waived or reduced by this program (0-100%). Staff’s recommendation is 100%.

2. Seniors with Disabilities Building Fee Reduction Program. The City Manager or their designee would be directed to reduce by 50% all City-enacted building permit fees for improvements to the home of a person at least 60 years of age with a qualifying disability that are made to accommodate that disability, as provided for by California Health and Safety Code Section 17951.7. This reduction would not apply to fees that state law requires the City to charge in connection with building permits (e.g., SMIP and SB 1473 fees). “Qualifying disability” would mean a physical or mental disability as defined in California Government Code Section 12926(j) and (m). o State law provides the City Council with discretion as to the amount of fees waived or reduced by this program (0-100%). Staff’s recommendation is 50%. o General Plan Housing Element Program H-2.2.2. contemplates the adoption of such a fee waiver or reduction program.

3. Affordable Housing Units Building Fee Reduction Program. The City Manager or their designee would be directed to reduce by 20% all City-enacted building permit fees for the construction of housing projects in which at least one of the following is true:
a. At least 5% of housing units are affordable for extremely low income households and subject to an affordability covenant for at least 55 years; b. At least 10% of housing units are affordable for very low or low-income households and subject to an affordability covenant for at least 55 years; or c. At least 50% of housing units are affordable for moderate-income households and subject to an affordability covenant for at least 55 years.

This reduction would not apply to fees that state law requires the City to charge in connection with building permits (e.g., SMIP and SB 1473 fees). o The proposed fee reduction is intentionally set at a percentage less than the City’s indirect cost rate (20% as compared to an indirect cost rate of 23%) to ensure that the City still recovers its direct costs associated with permitting. o General Plan Housing Element Program H-1.2.5. contemplates the adoption of such a fee waiver or reduction program.

If the recommended action is taken at today’s meeting, the ordinance would take effect on November 16, 2026.

ITEM 9.1
Item 9.1 – Page 4 of 4 CC  09-16-2026
Fiscal Impact
The proposed building fee waiver and reduction programs are expected to result in the loss of a minimal amount of revenue. Staff would report back to the City Council on the amount of building fees waived or reduced under each program as part of the next building, planning, encroachment, and grading permit fee study.

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

Environmental Review
The City Council is asked to find that this action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources Code, Sec. 21000 et seq.) (“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 California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 (“State CEQA Guidelines”). Section 15378(b)(4) of the State CEQA Guidelines excludes “government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities” from its definition of “project” when they “do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment,” as is the case here.

The City Council is also asked to find that, even if this action were subject to CEQA, it would be categorically exempt under Section 15273 of the State CEQA Guidelines, which applies to the establishment, modification, structuring, restructuring, or approval of rates, tolls, fares, or other charges by the City, when such charges are for the purpose of (1) meeting operating expenses, including employee wage rates and fringe benefits, and (2) purchasing or leasing supplies, equipment, or materials – as is the case here.

Finally, the City Council is asked to find that, even if this action were subject to CEQA, it would be exempt based on Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines 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. This action does not include any physical change to the environment.

9.2 WILDFIRE DETECTION CAMERAS
This page is intentionally blank.

ITEM 9.2
CC  09-16-2026 Item 9.2 – Page 1 of 3
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Christopher Macon, City Manager
FOR: September 16, 2026 City Council Meeting
SUBJECT: Wildfire Detection Cameras
Recommendation

1. Approve a site access and use memorandum of understanding with The Regents of the University of California on behalf of the University of California, San Diego for the benefit of its Scripps Institution of Oceanography for the purposes of installing, monitoring, and maintaining a network of cameras and related equipment to be used by the ALERTCalifornia public safety program, and authorize the Mayor to execute the site access and use memorandum of understanding, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney; and

2. Approve a memorandum of understanding with Laguna Woods Mutual No. 50 to allow the City to install, operate, and maintain wildfire detection cameras at The Towers located at 24055 Paseo Del Lago W, Laguna Woods, CA 92637, and authorize the Mayor to execute the memorandum of understanding, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney.

Background
On its website (www.alertcalifornia.org), ALERTCalifornia is described, in part, as follows:
“ALERTCalifornia provides state-of-the-art technology that supports data-driven decisions to prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural disasters.

Based at the University of California San Diego, ALERTCalifornia is a public safety program working to understand wildfires and other natural hazards and determine short and long-term impacts on people and the environment to inform management decisions.

The state-focused program manages a network of more than 1,200 monitoring cameras ITEM 9.2
Item 9.2 – Page 2 of 3 CC  09-16-2026
and sensor arrays (as of February 2026), and collects data that provides actionable, realtime information to inform public safety. In addition to the camera network, and in response to increasingly frequent and severe climate-driven disasters, ALERTCalifornia is prioritizing novel data collection and research. These data are open-source and are shared with fellow institutions and partners.

Advanced technology offers fresh insight into the cascading disasters associated with wildfires, such as post-fire debris flows, floods, and erosion. These data will lead to a greater understanding of natural disasters and their long-term pacts on air, water, and soil quality as well as human health in California.

ALERTCalifornia’s multidisciplinary team is based at UC San Diego’s Jacobs School of Engineering, Qualcomm Institute, and Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The program also works closely with partners across the state.

In 2023, CAL FIRE, ALERTCalifornia, and industry partner DigitalPath developed a new AI system that provides early wildfire confirmation and actionable real-time data to quickly scale fire resources, helps evacuations through enhanced situational awareness, and monitors fire behavior. In its first season, the AI platform was utilized in all 21 CAL FIRE Dispatch Centers and detected over 1,200 fires across California, beating 911 call reporting over 30% of the time. It is especially effective in spotting anomalies in remote locations and is proven effective at night. The AI tool was recognized by TIME as one of the top innovations of 2023.

ALERTCalifornia now works with federal, state, and local agencies to ensure emergency managers have access to our camera network, the AI, and the latest technology that provides them with real-time data to inform response.

In 2025, ALERTCalifornia worked with Esri to release a novel map layer that allows emergency managers and the public to incorporate live camera views into their maps, enhancing situational awareness and preparedness before, during, and after natural disasters. Soon after ALERTCalifornia was awarded a Special Achievement in GIS award from Esri for innovation in the field of GIS software and technology, geospatial analytics, and mapping.”
Discussion
Today’s meeting is an opportunity for City Council action, as well as public input, on actions that would allow the City to partner with ALERTCalifornia and Laguna Woods Mutual No. 50 to install, operate, and maintain wildfire detection cameras on the rooftop of The Towers.

The proposed wildfire detection cameras – of which there are anticipated to be two – would enhance wildfire-related situational awareness and preparedness.

The height of The Towers and its location near the western edge of Laguna Woods present a ITEM 9.2
CC  09-16-2026 Item 9.2 – Page 3 of 3
unique opportunity to capture high elevation views of westerly wilderness areas that are not currently captured by other ALERTCalifornia wildfire detection cameras.

OCFA staff will be present at today’s meeting to discuss how OCFA uses ALERTCalifornia’s wildfire detection cameras and the specific benefits of the proposed cameras.

ALERTCalifornia’s existing camera map is available at https://cameras.alertcalifornia.org.

The wildfire detection cameras closest to Laguna Woods are Rimel 1 and Rimel 2, which are located generally southwest of the Woods End Trailhead.

Both proposed agreements (attachments A and B) have been approved by the respective counterparties and are ready to be executed if approved by the City Council.

ALERTCalifornia, OCFA, and Laguna Woods Mutual No. 50 staff have completed a site walk to identify the placement of the proposed wildfire detection cameras. ALERTCalifornia is prepared to install the cameras, pending approval of the proposed agreements.

Fiscal Impact
Under the proposed agreements, Laguna Woods Mutual No. 50 would allow use of The Towers at no charge and ALERTCalifornia would provide, install, operate, and maintain the wildfire detection cameras at no charge. OCFA is already able to access ALERTCalifornia’s cameras in its emergency command center. The City’s costs would be limited to those not covered by ALERTCalifornia, of which none are currently anticipated.

The Regents of the University of California on behalf of the University of California, San Diego and the City of Laguna Woods
This Site Access and Use Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) is entered into as of _______________________ by and between The Regents of the University of California on behalf of the University of California, San Diego, for the benefit of its Scripps Institution of Oceanography (collectively, “Scripps”), and the City of Laguna Woods (hereinafter “Owner”), for the purposes of: installing, monitoring, and maintaining a network of cameras and related equipment to be used by the ALERTCalifornia public safety program and for no other purposes (“Camera Network”). Scripps and Owner may be referred to individually as “Party” and collectively as “Parties.” This MOU has been created to clearly define the respective roles, rights, duties and obligations for Scripps and Owner. For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

I. Purpose
In collaboration with various corporate entities and public agencies, Scripps has established camera networks throughout the state of California and now intends to establish a Camera Network within portions of the City of Laguna Woods, County of Orange, that the Owner has the legal ability to access and use for the purpose set forth this MOU (hereinafter, the “Site”).

Owner hereby represents and warrants that it has the right to grant to Scripps the rights to access the Site and conduct other activities thereon, as further described herein. Owner further represents and warrants that the permission of any necessary third party has been given into order to allow Owner to grant the rights granted hereunder.

The Parties agree that Scripps will install a Camera Network at the Site. “First Responders” (defined as CAL FIRE, Orange County Fire Authority, Orange County Sheriff’s Department, and such other public safety agencies and organizations as may be mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties) would have priority in the use and manipulation of the Camera Network within their respective jurisdictions. Scripps will also have control to manipulate the Camera Network (e.g., real-time camera data acquisition), but will defer priority to First Responders. Control of the Camera Network and priority will be addressed at camera training workshops provided by Scripps. The footage created by the Camera Network will be broadcast publicly online, and any recordings made of such footage will be saved and maintained by Scripps. Scripps will maintain sole ownership of the Camera Network, which shall include, but shall not be limited to, all data, equipment, footage and all other elements associated therewith.

9.3 TRANSIT SHELTER AND STREET FURNITURE

PROJECT

ITEM 9.3
CC  09-16-2026 Item 9.3 – Page 1 of 4
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Christopher Macon, City Manager
FOR: September 16, 2026 City Council Meeting
SUBJECT: Transit Shelter and Street Furniture Project
Recommendation
Provide direction to the City Manager on the design and construction of new transit shelters and street furniture.

Background
The Transit Shelter and Street Furniture Project (“Project”) is included in the Fiscal Years 2025-36 Capital Improvement Program as a partially funded project. The Project involves the replacement of all transit shelters and most street furniture on El Toro Road and Moulton Parkway with new transit shelters and street furniture. The Project is intended to construct transit shelters and street furniture that better align with community aesthetics and needs, on or in advance of the anticipated expiration of the franchise agreement under which the existing transit shelters and street furniture are supplied.

The transit shelters and most street furniture on El Toro Road and Moulton Parkway are currently supplied by Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. under a franchise agreement that expires on December 31, 2027. Under the franchise agreement, Clear Channel Outdoor has the exclusive right to sell and display advertising on transit shelters in the public right-of-way, in exchange for maintaining the transit shelters and street furniture it provides and paying the City at least $40,000 annually. Those payments are deposited in the General Fund.

Representative photographs of the existing transit shelters and street furniture are included in Attachment A.

On July 15, 2026, the City Council discussed and received public input on the design and construction of new transit shelters and street furniture. Based on the feedback, staff stated that they would prepare an updated conceptual design for City Council consideration.

ITEM 9.3
Item 9.3 – Page 2 of 4 CC  09-16-2026
Discussion
Today’s meeting is an opportunity for City Council direction, as well as public input, on the design and construction of new transit shelters and street furniture. Staff is seeking general direction on the design approach and would welcome City Council and public feedback Staff has worked with Smith Architects, Inc. to prepare a conceptual design for new transit shelters and street furniture (Attachment B). Separate designs have been prepared for a “primary stop” that would be constructed at higher-traffic locations, as well as a “secondary stop” that would be constructed at lower-traffic and space-constrained locations.

Renderings of the conceptual designs are included in Attachment B.

The conceptual design includes stucco, red tile, and dark brown elements for consistency with City Hall’s appearance. Advertising panels are not included in the conceptual design, which staff believes would result in a considerable aesthetic improvement.

The materials and configurations included in the conceptual design were selected with ease of maintenance and durability in mind, as the City will be newly responsible for maintenance following the expiration of the current franchise agreement.

New features included in the conceptual design include leaning shelves, vandal-resistant light-emitting diode (“LED”) lighting, and City branding. The “primary stop” includes covered seating and extends the covering over an area for wheelchairs, standing, or leaning.

Updates Made Following the July 15, 2026 City Council Meeting • Primary Stop
o Added a perforated metal back panel (1” circular openings, 58% open area) For reference: 1” circle:
o Changed the solid metal planks used in the bench seating to perforated metal with 0.25” circular openings (30% open area) to allow air flow For reference: 0.25” circle:
• Secondary Stop
o Added an umbrella structure to provide shade
o Changed the solid metal planks used in the bench seating to perforated metal with 0.25” circular openings (30% open area) to allow air flow ITEM 9.3
CC  09-16-2026 Item 9.3 – Page 3 of 4
A dark brown metallic coating color that would reflect 30% of sunlight (Valspar’s Midnight Bronze) has been specified for metal surfaces on both stops. Midnight Bronze meets the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency and the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (“LEED”) steep-sloped roof requirements for solar reflectance index (“SRI”), the latter of which are specifically intended to reduce the urban heat island effect. For reference, the SRI difference between Midnight Bronze and a forest green-type color (Valspar’s Evergreen) is negligible, separated by a value of only 4 on a scale of 100. Solar reflectance (“SR”) and thermal emittance (“TE”), which are other indicators of how efficiently a surface can reflect sunlight and release heat, respectively, are separated by only 3% and 1%, respectively.

Staff contacted the Orange County Transportation Authority (“OCTA”) to discuss potentially including real-time passenger information displays showing OC Bus arrival information at each stop. OCTA is currently piloting that technology and anticipates continuing to do so through April 2027. OCTA has not explored whether or how a potential city-led deployment of that technology could work with OCTA’s real-time transit information. In the absence of that information, staff recommends waiting to consider the deployment of such technology until after OCTA’s pilot is completed and the feasibility of city-led deployments is known.

Staff prepared the following new exhibits:
• Locations of all 27 stops (Attachment C)
• Average daily onboardings and alightings (“off” boardings) in 2025 (Attachment D) • Average daily onboardings and alightings in 2023-2025 (Attachment E) In addition to being a smaller profile option for space-constrained locations where there is insufficient space to construct a “primary stop,” the “secondary stop” would be a more cost-effective option for lower trafficked stops (e.g., approximately 48% of stops (13 of 27) average three or fewer onboardings and three or fewer alightings per day).

Alternatives
Staff notes that an alternative to constructing new transit shelters and street furniture would be to exercise the franchise agreement’s option to purchase the existing transit shelters and street furniture from Clear Channel Outdoor. Staff does not recommend doing so due to the age and condition of the existing transit shelters and street furniture, as well as the antiquated design that poorly aligns with community aesthetics and needs.

Another alternative is to attempt to negotiate an extension of the franchise agreement. Staff does not recommend doing so and believes it would be unlikely for the City to maintain revenue generation at the existing level or secure significant concessions regarding the replacement or refurbishment of existing transit shelters and street furniture.

ITEM 9.3
Item 9.3 – Page 4 of 4 CC  09-16-2026
Fiscal Impact
The Project is currently funded in the amount of $425,000, $350,000 of which is a budgetary placeholder for construction. A final construction budget would be considered after design documents are completed and costs can be more accurately estimated.

Fluropon’s performance has been proven in natural exposure tests at Valspar’s Test Fence facility for over 40 years, the oldest panel on exposure is from 1968! What you’ll see are coatings that are exceeding performance needs and have maintained their beauty over time.

AAMA 2605 Matters
AAMA 2605 is the high-performance exterior specification governed by American Architectural Manufacturer Association (AAMA). A coating meeting this rigorous specification and testing would have 70% fluoropolymer and 10 years South Florida exposure, are only a few of the performance characteristics monitored in the quality control reviews. These finishes exhibit outstanding resistance to humidity, color change, chalk, gloss loss and chemicals. Valspar’s coatings meet and even surpass these performance requirements.

Sustainability Matters
Green design is less about following a popular trend as it is simply treating our planet with respect. And the coil coating industry is no exception. As an industry leader, Valspar is committed to high performance coatings that lessen the negative impact on our environment but also look beautiful. hValspar has over 800 products that meet ENERGY STAR strict requirements hFluropon SR (solar reflectance) products can reflect over 70% of the sun to reduce heating impact on buildings hThe factory application process captures and destroys almost all volatile organic content (VOCs) before they escape into the atmosphere See for yourself how Valspar’s dynamic
range of colors can enhance your next
project.
