The near-term economic outlook continues to be distorted by the data delays from the government shutdown. Recently released government data—reflecting conditions from two to three months ago—indicate inflation remains moderately above the Federal Reserve’s target, while labor market conditions have continuedto soften. As the flow of economic data normalizes, the Chandler team expects further yield curve steepening as the Federal Reserve moves the policy rate toward a more neutral range. U.S. trade and fiscal policy also remain sources of elevated market uncertainty.
The Federal Reserve's December Federal Open Market Committee meeting concluded with the third consecutive 25-basis-point rate cut in 2025, lowering the target range to 3.50%–3.75%. However, policymakers remain divided on the path forward. Four Fed governors project one additional 25-basis-point cut in 2026, another four anticipateno further easing, eight expect multiple cuts, and three call for a potential rate hike. Chair Jerome Powell noted that the Fed is now “well placed to wait and see” how labor market conditions and inflation evolve in the near term.
The US Treasury yield curve steepened in December, as the 2-year Treasury yield dropped 2 basis points to 3.48%, the 5-year Treasury was up 13 basis points to 3.73%, and the 10-year Treasury yield was 15 basis points higher at 4.17%. The spread between the 2-year and 10- year Treasury yield points on the curve was 17 basis points wider from November at +69 basis points at December month-end. The spread between the 2-year Treasury and 10-year Treasury yield one year ago was +33 basis points. The spread between the 3-month and 10-year Treasury yield points on the curve was +54 basis points in December versus +21 basis points in November.

The Labor Department’s Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) reported that job openings fell to 7.1 million in November from a downwardly revised 7.4 millionin October. The dropin vacancies, alongside slower hiring, suggests the labor market continues to soften, though employers remain cautious about laying off workers. The number of openings now roughly matches the number of unemployed individuals, pointing to a labor market that is approaching equilibrium.

Inflation came in lower than expectedin November, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 2.7% year over year and core CPI easing to
2.6%. Notably, both Owners’ Equivalent Rent and Rent of Primary Residence contributed to the slowdown in services inflation. Shelter costs typically lag broader market trends by 12 to 18 months. Services, meanwhile, have remained the dominant driver of inflation throughout the post-pandemic period. The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Index for September, released on December 5, showed headline inflation up 0.3% from August and 2.8% year over year. Core PCE rose 0.2% on the month and 2.8% on an annual basis.

October Retail Sales, released with a one-month delay, were flat from the prior month but up 3.5% year over year. Eight of thirteen major categories posted gains, while motor vehicle sales declined following the expiration of federal tax incentives for electric vehicles, and gas station sales weakened amid lower fuel prices. The government shutdown may have weighed on consumer confidence regarding jobs, incomes, and overall financial conditions, both current and in the future. The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index declined to
89.1 in December from an upwardly revised 92.9 in November, marking its fifth consecutive monthly drop. Consumers were pessimistic about both business conditions and the labor market.

The Conference Board’s Leading Economic Index (LEI) declined 0.3% in September, marking its second consecutive monthly decrease after a revised 0.3% drop in August. On a year-over-year basis, the index fell 3.3%. According to the Conference Board, weakening expectations among consumers and businesses contributed most to the LEI’s overall decline. The index continues to signal slower economic growth through the end of 2025 and into 2026. The Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) came in at -0.21 in September, following a downwardly revised -0.31 in August, signaling that U.S. economic activity remained below its historical trend for the sixth consecutive month. The three-month moving average ticked down to -0.21 in September from -0.18 in August, reinforcing signs of ongoing below-trend national growth. Employment-related indicators turned slightly positive, contributing +0.01 in September after a -0.11 result in August.

CONTRACTING
The Institute for Supply Management’s (ISM) manufacturing index slipped to 47.9 in December, down from 48.2 in November, marking continued weakness across the sector. Manufacturing activity has now been in contraction for 36 of the past 38 months, as readings below 50 indicate contraction and those above50 signal expansion. The latest decline was driven primarily by pullbacks in the Production and Inventories components. In contrast, the ISM services index remained in expansion territory, rising to 54.4 in December from 52.6 in November. Respondents attributed the improvementto seasonal strength, though many remained cautious about the potential impact of tariffs.

Consumer spending accelerated, while exports contributed 1.6 percentage points to growth—both key drivers of the quarter’s performance. The stronger-than-expected result represented the fastest pace of U.S. economic expansion in two years. The consensus projection calls for 1.1% growth in the fourth quarter and 2.0% growth for the full year 2025.

Federal Reserve Balance Sheet Assets

In $ millions
The Federal Reserve lowered its benchmark interest rate by a quarter point to a target range of 3.50% to 3.75% at its December meeting, citing concerns about emerging weakness in the labor market. A few policymakers dissented, arguing that tighter monetary policy may still be warranted to ensure progress on price stability. Beginning December 1, the Fed also halted its balance sheet runoff, announcing that principal and interest payments from its holdings will be reinvested in Treasury securities to maintain ample reserves and support market stability.

All investment strategies have the potential for profit or loss. Economic factors, market conditions or changes in investment strategies, contributions or withdrawals may materially alter the performance and results of your portfolio.
Index returns assume reinvestment of all distributions. Historical performance results for investment indexes generally do not reflect the deduction of transaction and/or custodial charges or the deduction of an investment management fee, the incurrence of which would have the effect of decreasing historical performance results.

Fixed income investments are subject to interest, credit and market risk. Interest rate risk: the value of fixed income investments will decline as interest rates rise. Credit risk: the possibility that the borrower may not be able to repay interest and principal. Low rated bonds generally have to pay higher interest rates to attract investors willing to take on greater risk. Market risk: the bond market in general could decline due to economic conditions, especially during periods of rising interest rates.

64 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 02/03/2026
DEPARTMENT: Management Services
SUBJECT:
LAKE FOREST SPORTS PARK AND NEIGHBORHOOD PARK UNARMED
SECURITY GUARD SERVICES
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
1. Award a contract in the amount of $500,710 to Lyons Security Service, Inc. for unarmed security guard services.
2. Authorize the Mayor to sign, and the City Clerk to attest, the award of contract to Lyons Security Service, Inc. substantially in the form attached.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On May 22, 2025, the City processed an amendment to the contract with a security guard vendor to begin providing security services at the Sports Park rather than illegal street vendor enforcement. Staff scheduled services to begin the first week of June 2025. The security services were intended to support the community and staff by deterring illegal e-bike use and other security issues at the Lake Forest Sports Park (“Sports Park”). However, staff encountered inconsistent service delivery from the security contractor, such as late arrivals and no shows for shifts. Despite several efforts to resolve the issues, the City ultimately canceled the contract with the security contractor in August 2025.
On September 15, 2025, staff issued a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) to procure a security firm with a specific scope of work related to enhancing security at City parks. Staff initiated an RFP for unarmed security guard services to fulfill Strategic Plan project SP#37 to address the e-bike related issues at the Sports Park, along with deterring vandalism and other illegal behavior, particularly after hours, at Cavanaugh, El Toro, Heroes, and Mountain View Parks, on a scheduled basis.
Following the completion of the procurement process, the Selection Committee recommends awarding the attached Agreement for Security Services (“Agreement”) with Lyons Security Service, Inc. (Attachment 1). The Agreement with Lyons Security Service, Inc. (“Lyons”) includes a $500,710 compensation amount and three-year term. If approved, the term of the Agreement would begin on March 1, 2026, and end on February 28, 2029. Staff performed Item: 5
65 3
8 4
2 reference checks for Lyons with three other major clients, all of which provided favorable reviews (Attachment 2).
Lyons received the highest score at the conclusion of the process as detailed in the City’s Purchasing and Contracting Guidelines (“Purchasing Guidelines”). In addition to the standard three-year term, the Agreement includes two optional one-year extensions available at the discretion of the City Council. Strategic Plan project SP#37 included a $150,000 budget for Fisal Year 2026-27 to cover the costs of the security service. The annual cost for the Lyons service is $166,903, which is 7.7% higher than the budget provided by the Strategic Plan.
The 2025-2027 Operating Budget includes sufficient funding to cover the costs of the proposed security service for the remainder of the current fiscal year. For the subsequent fiscal year (Fiscal Year 2026-27), staff will request additional funding during the mid-cycle budget review process.
BACKGROUND:
In March 2025, the City contracted with a vendor for security guard services to assist Code Enforcement with illegal street vendor enforcement. This contract was secured through a competitive bidding process upon the expiration of a previous contract for security services with a different vendor. Prior to the new security contractor’s onboarding, the City’s enforcement efforts had successfully deterred street vendors from returning, therefore illegal vendor enforcement services were no longer needed.
In April 2025, in response to increasing complaints, staff met with several residents that voiced concerns over nuisance-type activity from e-bikers at the Sports Park. Mayor Voigts and Mayor Pro-Tem Pequeño convened an ad-hoc meeting to discuss the issue of e-bike regulations and enforcement. Mayor Voigts and Mayor Pro-Tem Pequeño received presentations from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department (“OCSD”) highlighting enforcement actions taken. Staff presented plans to alter the existing security contract and deploy resources to alleviate the disturbances at the Sports Park. In May 2025, the City finalized the contract amendment with the security contractor, which added roaming security patrols at the Sports Park to the scope work. These security services were intended to support park visitors and staff by deterring illegal e-bike use and other disruptive behavior at the Sports Park. Staff encountered several performance issues with the security contractor, as the firm was unable to reliably deploy staff to perform security work. Unfortunately, after several attempts to resolve issues with the security contractor, staff terminated the contract in August 2025.
On June 3, 2025, the City Council approved the 2025-2032 Strategic Business Plan (“Strategic Plan”). SP#37 Park Security Enhancements is a strategic initiative Item: 5

2 developed in response to e-bike-related concerns at the Sports Park and persistent vandalism, graffiti, and other illegal behavior at several neighborhood parks. To fulfill the goal of SP#37, staff developed a security strategy that includes a roaming security patrol at the Sports Park during peak use hours. The Sports Park would be patrolled by a trained security guard on a dedicated golf cart. A continuous, roaming presence from the security guard would deter illegal activity and decrease the response time for the City to address complaints related to e-bike and other nuisance issues on the park property. In the event the Sports Park security patrol encounters unsafe or illegal activity, the security guard would contact the Orange County Sheriff’s Department (“OCSD”) for further assistance.
SP#37 also identifies security needs for various neighborhood parks subject to persistent vandalism, graffiti, and other illegal behavior. The majority of these security issues occur during weekends and weekday nights. To address these issues, staff developed an inspection route whereby a security guard would drive to certain parks, exit their vehicle, then patrol the park property on foot to identify any security issues. In the event the security guard encountered illegal activity, OCSD would immediately be contacted to assist.
This security protocol was developed after staff consulted with several Orange County cities experiencing similar security issues at their respective parks.
Unfortunately, parks throughout Southern California have become frequent targets of vandalism, graffiti, and other illegal behavior that discourages residents from using park amenities for their intended purpose. Historically, cities in the region have managed park security in a reactive way, responding to vandalism, graffiti, and some externalities related to homelessness after the offenses occur. In recent years, some cities have shifted from a “reactive” to a “proactive” approach to park security, emphasizing a regular security presence as a means of deterring crime before it occurs. Staff developed the park security approach described in Strategic Plan SP#37 after consulting with other Orange County cities that have pursued this approach in the area.
While private security personnel are not a substitute for sworn OCSD Sheriff’s Deputies, they represent a cost-effective means of addressing non-violent activities that degrade the park user experience. Private security personnel are generally trained to observe and engage individuals who are violating park rules, rather than personally apprehend violent offenders. The OCSD will remain the City’s primary resource for responding to violent incidents and other serious crimes.
Staff published an RFP to secure unarmed security services on September 15, 2025. The scope of work for the procurement includes a schedule for roaming patrols (via dedicated golf cart with a light bar) at the Sports Park during peak use hours. The scope of work also includes a patrol schedule for weekends and certain weekday nights at Cavanaugh, El Toro, Heroes, and Mountain View Parks. For Item: 5

2 these parks, a security guard will travel to each park, exit their vehicle, and perform a brief foot patrol of the property.
DISCUSSION:
Staff issued an RFP to solicit professional unarmed security guard services on September 15, 2025, and potential proposers were notified via OpenGov, the City’s electronic procurement system. The security guard services consist of vehicle and foot patrols at various parks. The security guard services for the neighborhood parks will have rotating visits throughout their scheduled shifts by vehicle and foot patrol at each of the parks. The security guard is required to get out of the vehicle and walk the perimeter of assigned park properties. Security guards will patrol overnight along with day shifts on weekends to ensure safety and mitigate illegal activity at Cavanaugh, El Toro, Heroes, and Mountain View Parks. The security guard at the Sports Park will patrol via dedicated golf cart throughout the campus, deterring illegal activity during designated daytime and evening shifts. Table 1 below shows the scheduled patrol shifts for neighborhood parks and the Sports Park.

The Selection Committee for the RFP included the Deputy City Manager, Recreation Manager, Senior Recreation Supervisor, and Senior Landscape Administrator. Due to a family emergency and related long-term absence, only four evaluators participated in the interview phase.
The review process is comprised of three phases: the Technical Review of written proposals, the Qualifications Interview phase, and the cost proposal evaluation. The Purchasing Guidelines require the Selection Committee to review all proposals submitted in connection with the RFP. The Selection Committee rated proposals in five categories on a weighted scale from zero to
10. As summarized in Table 2 below, 18 of the 38 submittals met the minimum requirements, with a score above 60 points during the technical proposal review phase, and were invited and scheduled for the interview phase. The list of qualifying firms is identified in the first column of Table 2 below. The remaining 20 firms scored below 60 points and, therefore, did not advance to the interview phase selection process.

In addition to the project proposal, each firm submitted a cost proposal in a sealed envelope based on the Scope of Work outlined in the RFP. Pursuant to the Purchasing Guidelines, staff allowed each firm three days from the date of their interview to submit a revised cost proposal. Upon expiration of the three-day period, staff opened each of the sealed cost proposal envelopes. Each firm provided hourly rates per the scheduled security guard services for the neighborhood parks and Sports Park.
After the analysis of the cost proposals, staff received higher cost proposals than anticipated. To reduce costs, staff modified the roaming neighborhood park patrol schedule by consolidating two roaming patrol days (Tuesday and Thursday) into one day (Wednesday). This resulted in cost reductions from several firms at this stage in the process. After an analysis was completed on the cost proposals submitted, Lyons received the highest overall score.
The original cost proposal submitted by Lyons was $196,612 per year. In response to the consolidation of roaming patrol days, the Lyons cost proposal was reduced to $179,600 per year. To reduce costs even further, staff negotiated directly with Lyons. As a result of these negotiations, Lyons proposed a 7% across-the-board cost reduction for their services. This brought their annual cost of $179,600 down to $166,903.

Ability, capacity and skill to perform the required services. Ability to provide the services promptly without scheduling delays. Character, integrity, reputation, judgment, experience, and efficiency of the vendor.
Quality reference checks with reputable current and former agencies.

2 Based on the technical evaluation and interview process, the Selection Committee determined that Lyons would provide the City with high-quality security services at a strong overall value. In addition, Lyons manages a substantial portfolio of both public- and private-sector security contracts throughout Orange County, enabling the firm to rapidly backfill assigned personnel in the event of illness, scheduled leave, or attrition. Taken together, Lyons’ strong reputation and deep bench of trained security professionals will provide the City with a reliable and predictable security presence at selected City parks.
Lyons’ upper management includes various retired law enforcement personnel from the City of Anaheim Police Department. These retired law enforcement personnel have direct experience in confronting the kinds of security issues various City parks are now facing, such as vandalism, graffiti, and other externalities related to homelessness. Lyons security personnel receive ongoing, up-to-date training to effectively mitigate these security issues while maintaining safety and full compliance with state and local laws. Lyons staffs a response center 24/7 to provide immediate assistance to its security guard personnel and the clients they serve.
When confronting illegal or disruptive behavior related to homelessness, Lyons security guard staff are trained to work with municipal outreach teams (such as the City’s Homeless Liaison Officer from OCSD or in-house Community Outreach Specialist). This team-based approach will enhance personnel safety during security incidents while improving the efficiency of the City’s handling of homelessness-related issues in parks. Lyons also provides clients with GPS- records and other tracking methods to ensure security guard staff are performing in accordance with the contract.
Staff conducted three reference checks for Lyons, in accordance with the Purchasing Guidelines, all of which highly recommend the firm (Attachment 2).
During the refence checks, clients noted that Lyons takes ownership of the property they patrol driven by upper management’s expectations and experience working with various municipalities. The training is demonstrated in various areas, including drug paraphernalia, mental illness, and homeless encampments. As a result, the Selection Committee concluded that Lyons is the most qualified firm to provide the requested unarmed security guard services for the City of Lake Forest.
The proposed budget for this agreement, based on the cost proposal, is structured on a scheduled billing time frequency resulting in approximately 4,680 hours with a total compensation amount of $500,710.40 over a three-year term. Approximately $8,000 of this amount is reserved for security services the City may require at its own special events or emergency callouts. The annual cost for the Lyons service is $166,903, which is 7.7% higher than the budget provided by the Strategic Plan.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed Agreement for Security Services with Lyons includes a total compensation amount of $500,710 over a three-year term. There is sufficient funding in the Fiscal Year 2025-2027 Operating Budget to cover the cost of the recommended action for the current fiscal year. For the subsequent fiscal year (Fiscal Year 2026-27), staff will request additional funding during the mid-cycle budget review process.

For all policies of Commercial General Liability insurance, Consultant shall provide endorsements in the form of ISO CG 20 10 10 01 and 20 37 10 01 (or endorsements providing the exact same coverage) to effectuate this requirement. (2) Cancellation: Required insurance policies shall not be canceled or the coverage reduced until a thirty (30) day written notice of cancellation has been served upon the City except ten (10) days shall be allowed for non-payment of premium.

Policies shall contain or be endorsed to contain such provisions.
1.1.5 Waiver of Subrogation. All policies of Commercial General Liability and Automobile Liability insurance shall contain or be endorsed to waive subrogation against the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers or shall specifically allow Consultant or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a
Item: 5
102
Title: Security Guard Services - City Parks and Lake Forest Sports Park 26 loss. Consultant hereby waives its own right of recovery against the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.
1.1.6 Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions. Any deductible or self-insured retention must be approved in writing by the City and shall protect the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers in the same manner and to the same extent as they would have been protected had the policy or policies not contained a deductible or self-insured retention.
1.1.7 Evidence of Insurance. The Consultant, concurrently with the execution of the Agreement, and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness thereof, shall deliver either certified copies of the required policies, or original certificates on forms approved by the City, together with all endorsements affecting each policy.

The certificates and endorsements for each insurance policy shall be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. At least fifteen (15 days) prior to the expiration of any such policy, evidence of insurance showing that such insurance coverage has been renewed or extended shall be filed with the City. If such coverage is cancelled or reduced and not replaced immediately so as to avoid a lapse in the required coverage, Consultant shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of such cancellation or reduction of coverage, file with the City evidence of insurance showing that the required insurance has been reinstated or has been provided through another insurance company or companies.
1.1.8 Failure to Maintain Coverage. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced immediately so as to avoid a lapse in the required coverage, City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Agreement effective upon notice.
1.1.9 Acceptability of Insurers. Each such policy shall be from a company or companies with a current A.M. Best's rating of no less than A:VII and authorized to transact business of insurance in the State of California, or otherwise allowed to place insurance through surplus line brokers under applicable provisions of the California Insurance Code or any federal law.
1.1.10 Enforcement of Contract Provisions (non estoppel). Consultant acknowledges and agrees that actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligation on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
1.1.11 Requirements Not Limiting. Requirement of specific coverage or minimum limits contained in this Appendix are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits, or other requirement, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance.
1.1.12 Insurance for Subconsultants. Consultant shall include all subconsultants engaged in any work for Consultant relating to this Agreement as additional insureds under the Consultant's policies, or the Consultant shall be responsible for causing subconsultants to purchase the appropriate insurance in compliance with the terms of these Insurance Requirements, including adding the City, its

Consultant shall not allow any subconsultant to commence work on any subcontract relating to this Agreement until it has received satisfactory evidence of subconsultant’s compliance with all insurance requirements under this Agreement, to the extent applicable.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 2/3/2026
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
SUBJECT:
FOURTH AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT WITH LSA ASSOCIATES, INC. FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING SERVICES RELATED TO
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORTS
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
1. Approve the Fourth Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with LSA Associates, Inc. (“LSA”) for Environmental Consulting Services Related to Environmental Impact Reports (“EIRs”)
2. Authorize the Mayor to sign and the City Clerk to attest, the Fourth Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with LSA substantially in the form attached.
3. Adopt a Resolution entitled: RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE 2025-2027 OPERATING BUDGET; AMENDING APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2025-26
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In 2021, Industrial Property Trust Enterprise Business Center, LLC (“IPT”) and Western Realco submitted entitlement applications for industrial redevelopment projects along Enterprise Way. IPT submitted one project and Western Realco submitted two projects on separate sites, all involving demolition of existing buildings and construction of new industrial buildings.
To comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), the City utilized a Professional On-Call Services Agreement with LSA Associates, Inc., (“LSA”) for environmental consulting services. In 2023, LSA originally prepared an Initial Study (“IS”) anticipating one Mitigated Negative Declaration (“MND”) for the IPT project, a separate MND for Western Realco Site 1, and one categorical exemption for Western Realco Site 2.
Following public review of the IPT environmental documents in September 2023 and receipt of substantial public comments, the City determined that preparation of Environmental Impact Reports (“EIRs”) was warranted for all three of the Item: 6
107

projects. On February 13, 2024, the City Council awarded a three-year Professional Services Agreement (“Agreement”) to LSA with a total not-to- exceed compensation amount of $873,540.88 to prepare two EIRs (one for the IPT project and one for Western Realco’s two projects), with all consultant costs fully reimbursable by the project applicants (Attachment 1).
As the IPT project advanced ahead of Western Realco, IPT temporarily paused environmental review and requested revisions to the plans. Additional analyses were required to address project changes and technical refinements, including noise, traffic, and site plan updates. To accommodate this work and update the project schedule, the City Manager, under existing Purchasing Guidelines authority, approved a First Amendment to the Agreement (“First Amendment”) (Attachment 2) and a Second Amendment to the Agreement (“Second Amendment”) (Attachment 3), as summarized below in Table 1.
Most recently, the City Council approved a Third Amendment to the Agreement (“Third Amendment”) (Attachment 4) to refine the EIR scope to add combined technical analysis for Western Realco’s Sites 1 and 2, update modeling and traffic scenarios, consolidate and align mitigation measures, and standardize project definitions and terminology across all EIR sections. Additional details are also found in Table 1 below.

LSA’s approved Scope of Work for the IPT project included a budget to respond to public comments received during the Draft EIR public review period. By the close of the public review period, the City received 162 comment letters, exceeding the level of effort assumed in the tasks budget. LSA has completed extensive work to review, organize, and respond to comments, including preparation of master responses and coordination with technical staff to address substantive technical issues. This work was necessary to complete IPT’s Administrative Final EIR in accordance with CEQA requirements.
To address this, staff recommend the approval of the proposed Fourth Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with LSA (“Fourth Amendment”) (Attachment 5), providing sufficient budget authority to complete this phase of work and related coordination. IPT’s Final EIR is planned for distribution by the end of March 2026, followed by a Planning Commission public hearing.
The Fourth Amendment would increase compensation by $104,368 (LSA’s documented additional fees of $86,973 plus a 20% contingency), resulting in a not-to-exceed contract amount of $1,083,722.88. LSA will continue to perform services on an hourly basis under the existing Agreement. The proposed Fourth Amendment would also clarify that, with City approval, remaining authorized funds may be reallocated between tasks or applicant-specific task budgets to support project close-out.
To maintain adequate budget authority and ensure consistency with the adopted 2025–2027 Operating Budget, staff also recommends approval of the attached budget Resolution (Attachment 6), which would appropriate $104,368 in General Fund expenditures, fully offset by $120,023 in applicant revenue.
The proposed Fourth Amendment was prepared by the Community Development Department and was reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney.
BACKGROUND:
In June and July 2021, two applicants, IPT and Western Realco, submitted three entitlement applications for three separate industrial redevelopment projects along Enterprise Way, east of Dimension Drive and south of Bake Parkway:
1.IPT Enterprise Business Center, LLC Project at 26200 Enterprise Way (Site #3 in Figure 1),
2.Western Realco Project Site 1 at 26110, 26140, and 26160 Enterprise Way (Site #1 in Figure 1)
3.Western Realco Project Site 2 at 26250 Enterprise Way (Site #2 in Figure 1)
Item: 6
109

7 5
Figure 1: Map Illustrating Project Sites
Together, the applications include the demolition of the existing buildings and construction of new industrial buildings for future manufacturing and warehouse uses within the Light Industrial zoning district of the Pacific Commercentre Planned Community. Industrial uses include manufacturing and warehouse which are permitted uses subject to a Site Development Permit. Each of the three projects is being processed under separate discretionary Site Development Permits subject to Planning Commission review and determination at a public hearing.
In accordance with the City’s request for proposal (“RFP”) procurement process, the City entered into a professional consulting services agreement on October 19, 2021, with LSA for CEQA services. The applications for the three project sites were processed, and an Initial Study (“IS”) for environmental review was prepared with the anticipation of Mitigated Negative Declarations (“MNDs”) for two of the projects (IPT project and Western Realco Site 1) and a categorical exemption for the third (Western Realco Site 2).
On September 5, 2023, the City released an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (“IS/MND”) for a 30-day public review period for the IPT project at 26200 Enterprise Way project (Site 3). Staff received 68 comment letters, nearly all expressing concerns with the project and/or the CEQA document, including Item: 6

potential cumulative impacts of the IPT project combined with the other two Western Realco industrial projects in the area. Based on the comments received, the City determined that an Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) was warranted and staff directed LSA to prepare a scope of work for the preparation of two EIRs. On February 13, 2024, the City Council awarded an Agreement to LSA with a total not-to-exceed compensation amount of $873,540.88 to provide Environmental Consulting Services related to the preparation of two separate EIRs, expiring February 5, 2027 (“Agreement”). All consultant costs are fully reimbursable by IPT and Western Realco applicants through reimbursement agreements.
As the IPT project moved forward in advance of Western Realco (due in part to Western Realco’s plan revisions modifying one building to two separate buildings on Site 1), subsequent budget adjustments and schedule refinements were needed for the IPT EIR only. By March 2025, LSA had completed technical studies and a Screencheck Draft EIR for IPT. However, additional revisions requested by IPT and the City (including noise updates, project plan revisions, traffic impact adjustments, and related research) required contract amendments to ensure adequate project management for the remaining environmental analysis.
Under the City’s Purchasing Guidelines, the City Manager may approve amendments to an agreement greater than $50,000 if the aggregate of additional compensation does not exceed 10% of the original contract amount (10% of $873,540.88, or $87,354.09). Within this authority, the City Manager approved a First Amendment to the Agreement (Attachment 2) and a Second Amendment to the Agreement (Attachment 3), as summarized below in Table 2.
Most recently, the City Council approved a Third Amendment to the Agreement (Attachment 4) to refine the EIR scope to add combined technical analysis for Western Realco’s Sites 1 and 2, update modeling and traffic scenarios, consolidate and align mitigation measures, and standardize project definitions and terminology across all EIR sections. Third Amendment details are provided in Table 2 below.

DISCUSSION:
LSA’s approved scope of work for IPT includes a budget for preparation of the Administrative Final EIR, including responding to comments received during the Draft EIR public review period. During the public review period, the City received 162 comment letters, exceeding the level of effort originally scoped and budgeted.
LSA’s services included review and organization of comment letters, preparation of master responses, drafting individual responses, coordination with technical specialists, and additional research and clarification as needed to address substantive technical issues.
The services performed resulted in additional fees of $86,973. Staff recommend approval of a Fourth Amendment in the amount of $104,368, which includes the documented costs ($86,973) and a 20% contingency ($17,395) to complete remaining Administrative Final EIR coordination, document finalization, and technical clarifications associated with the final tasks of the environmental review process. LSA will continue to perform services on an hourly basis under the existing Agreement.
To support this, the proposed Fourth Amendment refines the schedule and compensation for LSA’s services associated with the IPT EIR. The key changes that would be enacted should the recommended actions be approved are summarized below in Table 3.
Table 3: Summary of Proposed Fourth Amendment Changes
Category Summary of Changes

Compensation Increase LSA’s compensation by $104,368, for a revised Agreement not-to-exceed amount of $1,083,722.88; this
amount covers all LSA expenses ($86,973 plus a 20%
contingency) and indirect charges for EIR preparation
(excluding City Attorney and staff time).
Update Exhibit “C” to include verbiage that, upon City
review and approval, remaining authorized funds may be
reallocated between tasks or applicant-specific task
budgets to support project close-out.
All consultant costs are fully reimbursable through existing reimbursement agreements; upon approval, the City will
revise the reimbursement agreement with IPT and confirm reimbursement terms with Western Realco so that each
applicant’s share reflects updated project costs.
Appropriation The proposed budget Resolution (Attachment 6) would appropriate $104,368 in expenditures to the General Fund, fully offset by $120,023 in applicant revenue, including the City’s 15% administrative fee.
Vendor Assessment
Pursuant to the City’s Purchasing and Contracting Guidelines, staff completes a vendor performance assessment during a proposed agreement amendment. The assessment is used as a guide to determine whether a contract should be amended, renewed, or terminated based on performance in the following categories: performance of scope of services, timeliness, budget performance, and customer service. Utilizing the evaluation form, staff rates the consultant in each category as shown in Table 4.

Recommendation
Staff recommend approval of the proposed Fourth Amendment to the Agreement for professional environmental consulting services related to EIRs (Attachment 5), providing an increase in compensation of $104,368 and establishing a new not-to-exceed contract amount of $1,083,722.88. The Fourth Amendment was prepared by the Community Development Department and approved by the City Attorney as to form.
To cover the costs of the proposed Fourth Amendment, staff recommend the City Council approve the attached budget Resolution appropriating $104,368 in General Fund expenditures, fully offset by $120,023 in applicant revenue, including the City’s administrative fee.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of the recommended action increases the total compensation under the Agreement to $1,083,722.88. The proposed budget resolution (Attachment 6) would appropriate $104,368 in General Fund expenditures, comprised of $86,973 for the proposed Fourth Amendment and $17,395 for a 20% contingency associated with completion of the Administrative Final EIR. These expenditures would be fully offset by $120,023 in applicant revenue, which includes reimbursement of direct consultant costs plus a 15% administrative fee.
Approving the proposed budget resolution would ensure there are sufficient funds for the recommended action.

Title: Environmental Consulting Services Related to Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs) 19 x The two (2) sets of stand-alone technical reports will address the following topics: Air Quality/Greenhouse Gas/Energy Analysis, Health Risk Assessment, Noise and Vibration Analysis,and Traffic Impact Analysis. These technical reports will analyze each project individually as well as a cumulative scenario.
x LSA will prepare a Biological Resources Report and Cultural Resources Report for one of the two Western Realco project sites (26250 Enterprise Way).
x As part of the Traffic Impact Analysis, LSA will prepare a formal VMT analysis. The VMT analysis will include a comparison of the output/results of the LFTAM model, which is used by the City, with the output/results of the OCTAM model, which is used by LSA. x LSA will collect traffic counts and analyze geometric and traffic control data at no more than 5 locations to be used for both traffic reports (i.e., the one being prepared for the IPT Enterprise Business Center LLC Project and the one being prepared for the Western Realco projects). LSA assumes that data collection will occur immediately following notice to proceed, (early February 2024).
x No additional technical analysis, aside from the analyses listed above, will be prepared. x LSA will utilize the existing Biological Report, Cultural Report, Geotechnical Reports, Phase I ESA, Preliminary Hydrologic & Hydraulic Report, and the Preliminary Water Quality Management Plan for the IPT Enterprise Business Center LLC Project and the Western Realco Project at 26110, 26140, and 26160 Enterprise Way.
x LSA will utilize the existing Geotechnical Reports, Phase I ESA, Preliminary Hydrologic & Hydraulic Report, and the Preliminary Water Quality Management Plan for the Western Realco Project at 26250 Enterprise Way.
x LSA will assist the City with AB52 Consultation for the 26250 Enterprise Way Project as no AB52 Consultation has been completed for that project.
x The City will assist LSA with preparing a list of cumulative projects to be used in the EIR analyses. x The Draft EIRs will analyze a maximum of three project alternatives including the “no project” alternative.
x The EIR budgets include three rounds of City review prior to distribution of the Public Review Draft EIRs. LSA will respond to one set of non-conflicting comments from the City and its legal counsel per review cycle.
x All deliverables will be provided in Word and PDF format to the City. x The City will handle distribution of the Notices of Completion/Notices of Availability. x The City will prepare the EIR Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations, if necessary.

LSA will respond to one set of non-conflicting comments from the City and its legal counsel per review cycle. x Two hard copies of the final EIRs will be provided to the City with technical appendices provided on a flash drive.
LSA recognizes the relationship of trust and confidence established between it and the City by this Agreement and guarantees to furnish its best skill and judgment and to deliver the highest quality work products at submittals of first drafts and all subsequent deliverables. LSA agrees to perform its services cost effectively (proposal Attachments C, D, E, F and G). All budgeted line items are not-to-exceed fees.
LSA shall develop and monitor an effective system of project cost control, recognizing that if fewer hours are expended than budgeted, LSA shall only invoice for actual time spent working on the project. The ultimate invoiced cost may therefore be less than the maximum contracted amount.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 2/3/2026
DEPARTMENT: Management Services
SUBJECT:
APPROVAL OF CAVANAUGH PARK CONCEPT PLAN
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
1. Receive a presentation detailing the proposed Concept Plan for Cavanaugh Park.
2. Approve the proposed Concept Plan for Cavanaugh Park.
3. Direct staff to incorporate phased construction in the final park design scope of services for Cavanaugh Park.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On January 20, 2026, the City Manager recommended the City Council continue this item to the subsequent meeting of the City Council on February 3, 2026, to allow for information on budgeting and funding sources to be added to the report.
On May 14, 2025, the City entered into a professional consultant services agreement with David Volz Design to provide a conceptual plan for the redevelopment of Cavanaugh Park (“DVD Agreement”). Pursuant to the DVD Agreement, David Volz Design (“DVD”) administered an online survey and hosted two in-person public outreach meetings. The purpose of the outreach work DVD provided was to ensure the conceptual design for Cavanaugh Park aligns with the preferences of Lake Forest residents, especially residents that live nearby who are likely to utilize the park on a regular basis.
On November 19, 2025, DVD provided staff with the draft conceptual plan for Cavanaugh Park. Staff reviewed the document and confirmed that the components of the plan largely aligned with the results of the outreach work conducted by DVD earlier in 2025 and previous public outreach conducted in the neighborhood adjacent to the park. The conceptual plan includes plans to flatten the sloped area in the northern section of the park. This expands the usable space in the park by nearly 2 acres, or 20%. The plan also includes the installation of two playground areas (one for ages 2-5 and one for ages 5-12), the relocation of the basketball court to the center of the park, the construction of a Item: 7

meandering multi-use trail with bollard lighting, and the installation of various exercise stations.
The conceptual plan addresses two pressing issues with Cavanaugh Park. First, the conceptual plan addresses the need to relocate the playground and basketball court due to the forthcoming I-5/El Toro Road Interchange Project.
When this project commences (projected in 2030-2032), the new I-5 Freeway on- ramp will expand eastward and occupy the space where the playground and basketball court are currently situated, reducing usable park land. Second, the conceptual plan includes the grading of the large hill situated in the center and northern sections of the park site. Flattening this hill will address many of the ongoing security issues at the site by eliminating concealed areas and improving clear sightlines from Gowdy Avenue, allowing park users and law enforcement to readily observe activity within the park. Grading the hill also increases the usable space at the park. This increase in usable space allows for the accommodation of a larger playground area, which was the most requested feature by residents during the outreach process.
The Community Services Commission reviewed the conceptual plan on December 3, 2025, and reacted favorably. During the presentation, Commissioners offered suggestions related to overall park security and the striping of the basketball court that have since been incorporated in the final Concept Plan (Attachment 1). DVD also provided an estimate of probable construction costs totaling approximately $10.9 million (Attachment 2).
To mitigate cost impacts while preserving the comprehensive approach to addressing security issues, a lack of existing park amenities, and the loss of park features due to the I-5 Freeway on-ramp expansion, staff suggest a final park design which enables a two-phase approach to construction. Under Phase 1, core issues like site security and loss of features due to the on-ramp expansion would be addressed by grading raised areas, installation of a new playground, and relocating the basketball court. Under Phase 2, the multi-use exercise trail would be constructed along with the completion of remaining landscaping improvements. Phase 1 would account for about 2/3 of estimated construction costs. Phase 2 would occur after the completion of the I-5/El Toro Road Interchange Project and account for the remaining 1/3 of estimated project costs.
Staff recommend the City Council receive a presentation from DVD summarizing the content of the final Concept Plan (Attachment 1). Staff also recommend the City Council approve the Concept Plan and direct staff to proceed with a phased approach to project construction.

BACKGROUND:
Cavanaugh Park is an approximately 7.5-acre park located between the I-5 Freeway and Gowdy Avenue. The park was originally built by the County of Orange prior to the City’s incorporation. In 2008, the City installed new landscaping and playground equipment at the park after completing a public outreach process in 2006. According to records available to staff, public sentiment back in 2006 favored a conservative approach to developing Cavanaugh Park, preferring the open space feel of the site. As a result, the only upgrades made were the addition of the small playground that remains today.
In 2023, the City’s Neighborhood Improvement Task Force (“NITF”) conducted an outreach project in the neighborhood adjacent to Cavanaugh Park. The outreach project included a survey and an in-person pop-up event hosted at Cavanaugh Park. Through this outreach process, staff learned that residents in the area who frequent the park have concerns with graffiti, vandalism, and a lack of amenities present at the park site. Residents enthusiastically supported the idea of renovating the park to make the site more “active” and attractive to residents with families. This was a departure from the sentiment that staff recorded from residents in the area back in 2006, where residents expressed a desire to keep the park largely open and undeveloped.
The NITF was able to identify four areas of Cavanaugh Park that attracted the most graffiti, vandalism, and illegal activity. There areas were:
1. The dumpster area on the north side of the commercial property at the end of Bridger Road. This area is adjacent to the basketball court.
2. The basketball court and playground structure itself, as it is obstructed from public view via hedge plantings situated along Gowdy Avenue.
3. The berm area between the I-5 Freeway wall and the basketball court in the southern section of the park site.
4. The area between the large hill and the I-5 Freeway wall in the central and northern portions of the park site.
In response to the problems documented by the NITF in 2023, staff were able to address the first two of the four issues mentioned above. First, Code Enforcement staff successfully worked with the property owner that maintained the dumpster site to reconfigure the area in a way that discouraged illegal activity. The property owner built a locking dumpster enclosure, erected a gate to close off a hidden entrance to the dumpster area from the I-5 Freeway on- ramp, made use of a motion activated flood light and security camera, and planted cacti behind the dumpster enclosure to discourage unwarranted foot Item: 7

traffic. Next, Public Works staff directed one of the City’s landscaping contractors to remove the hedge plantings that blocked the view of the playground and basketball court from Gowdy Avenue, remove sections of lodge pole fencing, and aggressively trim the top of the planting on the berm situated between the basketball court and freeway wall to reduce the height of the obstruction. These low-cost actions were taken in late 2023 and led to a reduction in illegal activity. At the time, staff recognized that the core issues of items 3 and 4 would require additional resources to address these concerns. No changes have been made to address the berm or improve visibility behind the hill. As a result, illegal activity is still persistent in those areas.
The modest improvements implemented at Cavanaugh Park in late 2023 were guided by the principles of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (“CPTED”). CPTED is a planning and design approach that uses modifications to the physical environment to discourage criminal behavior while encouraging legitimate use of public spaces. By reinforcing the park’s intended purpose as a recreational amenity for residents, CPTED strategies help deter illegal activity that can otherwise dominate and effectively displace lawful users. In the absence of such interventions, problematic conditions may persist, discouraging public use and effectively removing the public property as a recreation option for residents. As a result of targeted environmental changes that enhanced natural surveillance along the southern portion of the park, illegal activity in that area has been measurably reduced.
The El Toro Road/I-5 Interchange Project is projected to significantly impact the Cavanaugh Park site. The latest design (see Figure 1 below) projects the virtual elimination of the space where the playground and basketball court are currently situated. The projection also estimates the elimination of a sizeable chunk of land adjacent to the I-5 Freeway in the southern section of the park site. Figure 1 below highlights the direct impact the new I-5 Freeway on-ramp will have on the park site in orange. The orange section of Figure 1 projects where the new on- ramp will impede on the park site property. The yellow section projects where the temporary construction easement will be for the project. Construction is projected to start sometime between 2030 and 2032.

On June 3, 2025, the City Council approved the 2025-2032 Strategic Business Plan (“Strategic Plan”) and the 2025-2032 Capital Improvement Plan (“CIP”).
Initiative SP#28 of the Strategic Plan directs staff to complete the public engagement work necessary to generate a conceptual plan for City Council consideration. The CIP lists the Cavanaugh Park project as project 25P08 and includes a $250,000 design budget and a $1,000,000 construction budget.
On May 14, 2025, the City entered into the Agreement with DVD for public outreach and conceptual plan services. As part of their public engagement effort, DVD hosted two public workshops and created an online survey to collect resident feedback about the project. The public workshops were held on September 6, 2025, and October 29, 2025. In general, the resident feedback largely reflected the themes recorded during the NITF outreach project conducted back in 2023. Residents desire a park that activates the location, makes better use of the park’s large land area, and includes more amenities to accommodate both children and adults.
On December 3, 2025, DVD presented the conceptual plan to the Community Services Commission. While the plan was received favorably overall, Commissioners requested changes to the striping on the basketball court and a commitment to use playground and other physical features that would not decrease park visibility from the street. Maintaining visibility from the street (such as Gowdy Avenue) would preserve the ability of Orange County Sheriff’s Deputies to monitor park activity at night. Specific playground features will be available for selection during the final design phase for this project, and staff are Item: 7
228

committed to ensuring that whatever equipment is selected does not significantly dimmish park visibility to maintain security.
On January 20, 2026, the City Manager recommended the City Council continue this item to the subsequent meeting of the City Council on February 3, 2026.
The City Manager’s decision to continue the item was to provide staff with more time to research and present a phased approach to the construction component of this project.
DISCUSSION:
On January 12, 2026, DVD provided the final Concept Plan to staff for review (Attachment 1). The final Concept Plan is consistent with the plan that was presented to the Community Services Commission and includes a specific call- out for “fraction ball” striping on the basketball court. “Fraction ball” striping incorporates an optional multi-point system for basketball shots based on distance from the hoop. Unlike traditional basketball court striping that only includes 2- and 3-point delineations, fraction ball can have several fractional points based on the shooter’s placement on the court. Fraction ball striping was developed to promote mathematical skills in a fun, entertaining way for children.
The final Concept Plan includes the grading of the sloped area in the northwest section of Cavanaugh Park. This increases the park’s usable space by nearly 2 acres and enables the placement of larger playground features towards the center of the park site. The location of the current playground is not a large enough area to host the two new playgrounds identified in this final Concept Plan. Further, the I-5/El Toro Road Interchange Project is expected to impact the area close to where the playground is currently situated and shrink the usable land space by about 10-15 feet southeast of the where the freeway soundwall is currently situated.
In summary, the final Concept Plan includes:
A multi-use trail system that meanders throughout the entirety of the park property with bollard lighting
Various exercise stations situated throughout the trail system Two new playgrounds towards the center of the park property, one for ages 2-5 and one for ages 5-12
The clearing of trees and grading of the sloped area on the northwest end of the park site
Various tree and landscape plantings to enhance park aesthetics while preserving street-level visibility
Updated picnic tables, seating areas, and drinking fountain stations Item: 7

The total estimated cost of the project, including a 15% contingency, is $10.9 million (Attachment 2). This rough estimate significantly exceeds the current CIP budget for this project, which includes $250,000 for final design and $1,000,000 for construction. The current CIP budget was established based on staff’s understanding of neighborhood sentiment recorded back in 2006, where residents preferred to leave the park site relatively undeveloped and open. This sentiment led to the construction of the small playground on the southeast section of the park in 2008 while the rest of the park was left undeveloped. The higher construction cost estimate associated with the Concept Plan reflects the current neighborhood sentiment regarding Cavanaugh Park, which is a desire to significantly activate the space and add amenities. Also reflected in the cost estimate are the physical improvements that will mitigate persistent security issues at the park site, such as graffiti, vandalism, and other illegal behavior. If these security issues are not addressed, residents are less likely to use the park, limiting the draw of any new amenities constructed.
To construct park features that reflect the resident input received and address ongoing security issues, the sloped area in the northern section of the park must be flattened. Mobilization and grading costs alone are estimated at $2,106,000 (22% of total construction costs). This earthwork is required to accommodate the multi-use trail and mitigate the obstructed areas that are most frequently subject to graffiti and vandalism. The earthwork also makes it possible to accommodate the new playground area, which needs to be moved from the southern section of the park site in advance of the I-5 Freeway on-ramp expansion. The multi-use trail, which will primarily be constructed from paved concrete, is estimated to cost $2.5 million (about 25% of total construction costs). This multi-use trail system was one of the more popular features identified by residents during the outreach process. Currently, there is no sidewalk or walking trails directly adjacent to the park site. The remaining $4,460,024 in estimated construction costs include playground equipment, exercise stations, landscaping, seating, drinking fountains, and bollard lighting.
While earthwork represents a significant portion of total construction costs (estimated 22%), it is required to accommodate the full activation of the park site.
This earthwork cost is consistent with what it would cost the City to acquire approximately 2 acres of undeveloped land zoned for residential use in the South Orange County area. Grading the property was a key recommendation of the City’s CPTED consultant, who advised that maintaining a park site that was only partially active and included large obstructions from the sloped area would perpetuate the current issues of vandalism, graffiti, and other illegal activity.
To mitigate the impact of project costs, staff plan to bring forward construction phasing options for the Cavanaugh Park project during the design phase. A phased approach to the Cavanaugh Park Renovation allows the City to deliver the most critical safety, visibility, and play amenities first, while responsibly Item: 7

managing costs and accommodating future I-5/El Toro Road Interchange Project impacts. Accounting for about 2/3 of the total construction cost, Phase 1 would focus on removing physical barriers that limit visibility, grading the northern portion of the park to increase usable space, and constructing new playground facilities outside of the future I-5 Freeway on-ramp impact area. For the remaining 1/3 of construction costs, Phase 2 would defer enhancements within the southern portion of the park that may be affected by the future I-5 Freeway on-ramp, as well as non-essential amenities that can be added when funding becomes available. This approach minimizes rework, protects the City’s Phase 1 investment, and ensures the park remains functional and safe throughout each stage of implementation. Table 1 below describes what major construction items would be included in each phase.

If approved, the Public Works Department will complete a formal procurement to secure a consultant to generate a final design, which will include the construction documents necessary to bid out the project. Construction for Phase 1 would likely commence sometime in late 2026 or early 2027. Any construction that occurs during Phase 1 would account for potential impacts related to the I-5 Freeway on-ramp expansion. Completing Phase 1 would address the core issues of safety and lack of amenities, while also accounting for the amenities Item: 7

that will be lost once the I-5 Freeway on-ramp expands. Once the I-5/El Toro Road Interchange Project is completed, the City could commence with Phase 2 of the project. Under Phase 2, the multi-use trail, exercise stations, and all landscaping improvements could be completed with the certainty of accommodating the completed I-5 Freeway on-ramp expansion.
Inflation and Impact on Park Construction Costs:
Portola Park in Portola Hills was the last major park constructed by the City.
Opened in 2020, Portola Park includes pickleball courts, a sand volleyball court, dog park, and a shaded playground situated on a 5.5-acre site. Portola Park cost $4.3 million to construct, representing a total construction cost of about $785,000 per acre. The City did not incur grading costs for this project as the site was transferred to the City in “pad-ready” condition.
In comparison, the estimated construction cost for Cavanaugh Park (Attachment 2) (not including the contingency estimate) is $9,472,884, or $1.26 million per acre. Inflation, as measured by the change in Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim statistical area, has increased by 26% from December 2020 to December 2025. To illustration the impacts of inflation over the past five years, Table 2 compares the costs for both projects accounting for inflation since 2020.

Staff intend to further refine costs for the Cavanaugh Park project through value- based engineering during the final design phase.
In Spring 2026, Public Works staff plan to bring forward a final design contract for City Council consideration. At that time, the City Council will have the Item: 7

opportunity to consider amending the CIP budget to include the increased project cost of the Cavanaugh Park project as described in the attached final Concept Plan. This final design contract will have more specific estimates and details related to each construction phase. Staff continue to seek external funding sources for this project, such as intergovernmental grants or funding from CalTrans to accommodate the City for the loss of park property related to the I- 5/El Toro Road Interchange Project.
Staff recommend the City Council receive a presentation from DVD summarizing the content of the final Concept Plan (Attachment 1). Staff also recommend the City Council approve the Concept Plan and direct staff to proceed with a phased approach to project construction. If approved, Public Works staff will bring back a final design contract that includes refined cost estimates and details related to each construction phase.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 02/03/2026
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
SUBJECT:
AN ORDINANCE MAKING VARIOUS UPDATES TO THE LAKE FOREST
MUNICIPAL CODE
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Introduce for first reading an Ordinance entitled: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST CALIFORNIA, AMENDING TITLE 1, TITLE 5, TITLE 6, AND TITLE 8 TO MAKE MINOR REFINEMENTS, CORRECTIONS, AND CLEAN-UP AMENDMENTS; AND ADDING CHAPTER
11.64 TO DIVISION VII OF TITLE 11 REGULATING FIREWORKS; AND DETERMINING THE ORDINANCE TO BE EXEMPT FROM CEQA.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Lake Forest Municipal Code (“LFMC” or “Municipal Code”) is the collection of laws that govern the City’s operations. Periodically, the Municipal Code must be updated to ensure consistency with changes in State law and improve the clarity and administration of City regulations. The proposed amendments address day-to-day functions of the City related to sidewalk and commercial vending, property maintenance standards, and public nuisance regulations. Several of the proposed changes remove or revise provisions that are obsolete or no longer permitted due to recent State legislation or prior Municipal Code updates.
Additionally, revisions include additions that prohibit the sale and use of all fireworks and provide clerical corrections withing the Municipal Code.
The attached ordinance would update the LFMC by:
Adopting a new City logo while preserving the existing logo as a classic logo
Amending sidewalk vending regulations to comply with Senate Bill 635 by removing background check requirements and limiting the public display of personal information
Updating commercial vending vehicle permitting provisions for clarity and consistency
Making technical clean-up revisions to property maintenance and public nuisance regulations in Title 6
Item: 8
239
Providing clerical corrections regarding the California Building Standards Code sections and the adoption of the Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps Codification in Title 8
Establishing an express prohibition on the sale and use of all fireworks, with a limited exception for permitted public displays
Removing outdated references, correcting non-existent sections, and eliminating redundant language throughout the Municipal Code To effectuate these changes to the LFMC, staff recommends the City Council introduce for first reading the attached Ordinance (Attachment).
BACKGROUND:
The Lake Forest Municipal Code (“LFMC” or “Municipal Code”) is the collection of laws that govern the City’s operations and regulatory programs. Periodically, the Municipal Code must be updated to ensure consistency with State law and improve clarity and enforceability of existing regulations. The proposed amendments address day-to-day City functions related to sidewalk and commercial vending, property maintenance, public nuisance standards, and public safety provisions. Several of the proposed changes remove or revise provisions that are no longer permitted under State law or that require clarification due to prior Municipal Code amendments. Additionally, revisions include additions that prohibit the sale and use of all fireworks and provide clerical corrections withing the Municipal Code.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed amendments to Titles 1, 5, 6, 8, and 11 of the Lake Forest Municipal Code are intended to ensure compliance with recent changes in State law, improve clarity and consistency within the Code, provide clerical corrections, and provide clarified regulations in the LFMC.
Title 1 – City Seal and Logo
The proposed amendments to Chapter 1.04 would update the Municipal Code to formally adopt a new City logo while preserving the City’s existing logo as the “Classic Logo,” colloquially referred to as the City seal. This approach ensures continuity with historical and legal usage of the existing official City seal, including its continued use by the City Clerk when attesting to official documents.
By clearly distinguishing between the Classic and the City logo within the Municipal Code, the amendments provide clarity for official use, branding, and Item: 8
240
administrative purposes while preserving the legacy and significance of the City’s emblem. Figures 1-3 show each of these elements as they will be referenced in the Municipal Code.
Figure 1 – City Seal
Figure 2 – Classic Logo
Figure 3 – City Logo
Title 5 – Sidewalk and Commercial Vehicle Vending
The State of California’s adoption of Senate Bill 635 (“SB 635”) requires local jurisdictions to modify sidewalk vending regulations to remove barriers to entry and limit the collection and public disclosure of vendors’ personal information. SB 635 expressly prohibits cities from requiring background checks as a condition of issuing a sidewalk vending permit and mandates that all background check records associated with sidewalk vendors be destroyed by March 1, 2026.
The City’s current sidewalk vending regulations require applicants to complete a LiveScan background check and authorize permit denial based on certain Item: 8
241
criminal history findings. These provisions are no longer permissible under State law. The proposed municipal code amendments remove the background check requirement for sidewalk vending permits and eliminate related review and denial criteria tied to criminal history. In addition, code sections that require vendors to publicly display permits containing personal identifying information are revised to align with SB 635’s intent to safeguard vendor privacy while still allowing City officials to verify permit validity upon request.
The proposed changes maintain the City’s ability to regulate sidewalk vending through generally applicable standards related to public health, safety, accessibility, and welfare, including compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act requirements, health permits, insurance, encroachment permits, and operational standards. By focusing on conduct and operational impacts rather than personal background information, the City preserves its regulatory authority while complying with State law.
With respect to commercial vending vehicles, the amendments clarify LiveScan background check language to ensure consistency with State law and recent ordinance updates. SB 635 does not prohibit background checks for commercial vending vehicle permits; therefore, the City retains discretion to require such checks where legally permissible.
Title 6 – Code Clean-Ups (Property Maintenance and Public Nuisance Provisions)
The proposed amendments to Title 6 are largely technical and clarifying in nature. These changes do not introduce new regulatory requirements, but instead reorganize, update, and refine existing property maintenance and public nuisance standards to improve readability, consistency, and clarity.
The current property maintenance provisions in Chapter 6.12 address exterior building conditions, landscaping, trash storage, lighting, mechanical and plumbing systems, pools, drainage, and other elements that directly affect neighborhood appearance, public safety, and health. The proposed clean-ups clarify standards to better reflect current enforcement practices and previously adopted ordinances.
Similarly, the updates to Chapter 6.14 consolidate and clarify public nuisance definitions to ensure consistency with other sections of the Municipal Code and applicable State regulations. These provisions continue to provide the City with clear authority to address unsafe, unsanitary, or incompatible conditions that negatively impact the community.

Title 8 – Clerical Correction to Ordinance No. 382 – Adoption of 2025 California Building Standards Code with Local Amendments
On November 18, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 382, which adopted the 2025 California Building Standards Code with local amendments, including amendments to the California Fire Code. Following adoption, staff identified a clerical error in the ordinance related to one of the Fire Code local amendments. Specifically, the added Section 2808.11.2 was inadvertently duplicated in the ordinance—appearing once under the correct heading and a second time under an incorrect heading—with the correct text omitted from Section 2808.12.
At the time Ordinance No. 382 was adopted, the redline version of the Fire Code amendments presented to the City Council correctly showed the intended text and placement of the amendment under Section 2808.12. The error occurred during preparation of the final ordinance text and does not reflect any change in policy direction or intent.
The proposed clean-up ordinance corrects this clerical drafting error by removing the duplicative and incorrectly placed reference to Section 2808.11.2 and restoring the correct text under Section 2808.12. No substantive changes to the City’s adopted building or fire safety standards are proposed. The clean-up ordinance is purely corrective in nature and is intended solely to accurately reflect the City Council’s original intent when Ordinance No. 382 was adopted.
Title 8 – Clerical Correction to Ordinance 377 – Fire Hazard Severity Zone Map Codification
On June 17, 2025, the City Council adopted an ordinance formally adopting the Local Responsibility Area Fire Hazard Severity Zone Map prepared by CalFIRE and dated March 24, 2025. That ordinance added a new chapter to the Municipal Code, previously listed as “reserved,” for the sole purpose of incorporating the map by reference. The adoption was completed in compliance with Government Code Section 51179, the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), and all other applicable noticing, hearing, and procedural requirements.
Subsequently, as part of the City’s adoption of the 2025 edition of the California Building Standards Code with local amendments, a separate ordinance codified one of those local amendments in a municipal code chapter that inadvertently duplicated the chapter number used to adopt the Fire Hazard Severity Zone Map.
As a result of this clerical codification error, the later ordinance unintentionally overwrote the previously adopted fire hazard severity zone map chapter in the Municipal Code. The City’s prior legislative action adopting the map was not repealed or substantively modified.
Item: 8
243
The ordinance currently before the City Council corrects this clerical error by reinstating the adopted Local Responsibility Area Fire Hazard Severity Zone Map in a new municipal code chapter (Chapter 8.25). This action does not constitute a new or amended adoption of the map but rather ensures that the Municipal Code accurately reflects the City Council’s prior, valid action and maintains consistency with state law and adopted fire hazard severity zone designations.
Title 11 – Public Safety (Fireworks Prohibition)
The proposed amendments to Title 11, Division VII – Safety would expressly prohibit the storage, use, sale, possession, and handling of all fireworks within the City, including fireworks commonly referred to as “safe and sane.” While the Municipal Code already effectively prohibits fireworks by not expressly permitting them, the proposed amendment clarifies and codifies the City’s longstanding policy by establishing an explicit citywide prohibition.
The prohibition would supplement existing restrictions applicable to parks and recreational facilities under LFMC section 13.04.022 and would be placed in Title 11 to ensure the regulation is accessible and understandable to the general public. An exception would be provided for permitted, electrically fired public fireworks displays conducted by a licensed pyrotechnic operator, when authorized by the Fire Code Official and permitted in accordance with LFMC section 9.144.070.7.
The amendments would also authorize designated City officials to seize, remove, or cause the removal of fireworks offered for sale or possessed in violation of the Municipal Code, at the expense of the owner, thereby strengthening the City’s enforcement tools and supporting public safety objectives.
Conclusion and Recommended Action
Collectively, the proposed amendments modernize the Municipal Code, ensure compliance with State law, clarify administrative and enforcement provisions, and support the City’s public safety, operational, and policy objectives. To effectuate these changes to the LFMC, staff recommends the City Council introduce for first reading the attached Ordinance (Attachment).
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is minimal fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

WHEREAS, all legal preconditions to the adoption of the Ordinance have occurred.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE
FOREST, CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Recitals. The recitals above are true and correct, and are hereby incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 2. Findings. The City Council hereby finds that the proposed amendment to the 2025 California Building Standards Code, contained in Lake Forest Municipal Code section 8.24.020, is reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geologic, or topographic conditions, and adopts the findings provided below to support the modifications to the 2025 California Building Standards Code.
A. Climatic Conditions
a. The jurisdiction of Lake Forest is located in a semi-arid Mediterranean type climate. It annually experiences extended periods of high temperatures with little or no precipitation. Hot, dry (Santa Ana) winds, which may reach speeds of 70 M.P.H. or greater, are also common to the area. These climatic conditions cause extreme drying of vegetation and common building materials. Frequent periods of drought and low humidity add to the fire danger. This predisposes the area to large destructive fires (conflagration). In addition to directly damaging or destroying buildings, these fires are also prone to disrupt utility services throughout the County. Obstacles generated by a strong wind, such as fallen trees, streetlights, and utility poles, will greatly impact the response time to reach an incident scene.
b. The climate alternates between extended periods of drought and brief flooding conditions. Flood conditions may affect the Orange County Fire Authority’s ability to respond to a fire or emergency condition. Floods also disrupt utility services to buildings and facilities within the County.
c. Water demand in this densely populated area far exceeds the quantity supplied by natural precipitation; and although the population continues to grow, the already -taxed water supply does not. Due to storage capacities and consumption, and a limited amount of rainfall, future water allocation is not fully dependable. This necessitates the need for additional and on-site fire protection features.
Item: 8
248
55136.00400\44549805.1
d. These dry climatic conditions and winds contribute to the rapid spread of even small fires originating in high-density housing or vegetation. These fires spread very quickly and create a need for increased levels of fire protection. The added protection of fire sprinkler systems and other fire protection features will supplement normal fire department response by providing immediate protection for the building occupants and by containing and controlling the fire spread to the area of origin. Fire sprinkler systems will also reduce the use of water for firefighting by as much as 50 to 75 percent.
