Discussion
The FY 2026-2027 Action Plan allocates CDBG public to a local agency that will provide transitional housing to an estimated 11 individuals. The City's CDBG-funded affordable housing strategy is to maintain the affordable housing stock through housing rehabilitation programs and supporting rental assistance programs like the Housing Choice Voucher (administered by the OCHA). The City anticipates 20 homeowners will participate in the City’s housing rehabilitation and paint grant programs, and approximately 200 Lake Forest renter households will receive rental assistance during FY 2026-2027.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
The City recognizes the importance of assisting the homeless and near-homeless with a continuum of care approach that not only addresses a homeless person’s immediate shelter needs, but also provides access to transitional and permanent housing, support services, and employment opportunities to break the cycle of homelessness.

Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The City collaborates and relies on nonprofit partners to reach out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons). The City will allocate CDBG funds to four agencies that will provide services for homeless individuals. Each agency has an outreach component used to engage and assess clients. Mercy House will receive CDBG funding in support of its street outreach and engagement program. Funds are available to provide motel and transportation vouchers to homeless individuals engaged by the Mercy House Street Outreach Team and the OC Sheriff.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons In past years, the City used CDBG funds to assist nonprofits in acquiring eight condominium units located in the community to provide transitional housing. For FY 2026-2027, Families Forward’s “Housing Program” is recommended for CDBG funding. This program offers interim (i.e., transitional) housing for up to 25 individuals (i.e., families with children). The City did not receive any requests for emergency shelter programs.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The Orange County Continuum of Care coordinates a system that incorporates several evidence-based practices, including a Housing First approach that involves moving persons directly from the streets into permanent housing accompanied by home-based supportive services. This approach has been effective Item: 12
423

Annual Action Plan
2026

with chronically homeless persons and families.

In past years Lake Forest used CDBG and local redevelopment funding to expand permanent housing opportunities for the formerly homeless. In 2015, the City’s Housing Authority (former redevelopment agency) sold a four-unit apartment to Families Forward. These units provide permanent housing opportunities for lower-income households, including formerly homeless families.

In addition to Rapid Rehousing, the OC-CoC will address the housing needs of homeless households with unique situations. The Family Redirection Program aims to keep homeless families with children off the streets by prioritizing shelter and housing resources for families. HUD has also significantly increased the number of rental assistance vouchers for homeless Veterans (i.e., Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing or VASH vouchers). In addition to receiving rental assistance, veterans with a history of severe mental health illness, substance use disorder, or physical disabilities receive case management and appropriate support services from the Department of Veterans Affairs. Currently, 486 VASH vouchers are in place throughout Orange County (13 in Lake Forest). For unaccompanied youth, there are several residential/supportive services programs available in Orange County designed specifically for youths.

Services offered include crisis intervention, drug abuse counseling, and case management.

The City will not allocate FY 2026-2027 CDBG funds for rapid rehousing or permanent supportive housing.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs.

For FY 2026-2027, the City will allocate CDBG funds to Family Assistance Ministry and South County Outreach for an array of services to assist the near-homeless and those already homeless. These agencies operate food bank programs, which provide an entry point into the regional CoC. Program applicants undergo an assessment by case managers who determine if additional services are needed and who will make appropriate referrals. CDBG resources are used by these agencies to assist households who are at risk of eviction or the termination of utilities due to financial hardships, especially in the post-COVID-19 environment. The City will also continue to participate in regional homeless planning efforts, including the OC CoC’s Discharge Plan, which aims to prevent individuals from leaving institutions such as jails and hospitals, from becoming homeless.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:

The Strategic Plan provides detailed information regarding barriers to affordable housing and actions to overcome these barriers. The efforts to address these barriers during FY 2026-2027 are summarized below.

Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment
Affordable housing development faces several challenges, including the cost of construction, financing, and development regulations. The 20121–2029 Housing Element notes that the City can encourage and facilitate affordable housing through financial assistance, removal of regulatory constraints, and administrative support. It offers the following actions to promote affordable housing production with limited available funding.
• The City will monitor new neighborhood developments for compliance with development agreements that include an Affordable Housing Implementation Plan. • The City will collaborate with affordable housing developers to identify potential sites, write letters of support to help secure governmental and private-sector funding, and offer technical assistance related to the application of State density bonus provisions. • Work with developers on a case-by-case basis to provide State-mandated regulatory concessions and incentives to assist with the development of affordable and senior housing.

State-mandated regulatory concessions and incentives could include but are not limited to, density bonuses, parking reductions, fee reductions or deferral, expedited permit processing, and modified or waived development standards.
• If available, provide financial subsidies to help reduce the cost of development in exchange for the reservation of units for lower-income households.

Discussion:

The Strategic Plan includes an extensive narrative regarding barriers to affordable housing and actions the City can take to mitigate identified obstacles to the development of affordable housing. As outlined above, the City provides an expedited development review process for affordable housing projects to help reduce holding costs and the overall cost of development. The City has little control over market forces such as the cost of land, building materials, and labor. If resources are available, the City may provide gap financing to help reduce overall development costs as an incentive to develop affordable housing. There are no growth limit initiatives in Lake Forest.

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:

There are several constraints to meeting the needs of low-income residents; the primary obstacle is a lack of funding to address all needs adequately. Demand for services has forced many nonprofits to reduce services at a time when governmental entities are also decreasing resources. In response to the level of need, the City has maintained its commitment to utilize and leverage resources efficiently and effectively to meet priority community needs.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City recognizes that special needs populations face challenges due to low income, the unique conditions that they face, and that they are more likely to become homeless as a result of these factors.

Special needs populations often require unique housing and supportive services. The City considers supportive services and housing for special needs populations as a high priority. In FY 2026-2027, the City will fund public service agencies that assist underserved populations such as the homeless, seniors, the disabled, and low-income families with children.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City's strategies related to CDBG-funded affordable housing efforts are focused on maintaining the housing stock through its housing rehabilitation programs, supporting rental assistance programs like the Housing Choice Voucher, and helping to ensure individuals have access to housing free of discrimination due to race, gender, disability, and other personal or household characteristics.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
As previously discussed, the Residential Lead-Based Paint (LBP) Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 changed the federal strategy to addressing LBP by increasing the emphasis on the prevention of childhood lead poisoning through housing-based approaches. For example, lead-based paint hazard reduction as an eligible activity in the City’s housing rehabilitation programs.

All application packets for the City’s housing rehabilitation programs include a notice to educate residents about the health dangers of lead and encourage screening of children for elevated blood-lead levels. Additionally, before the use of federal funds, housing units are screened for lead-based paint. Housing units identified with lead-based paint hazards are treated, so the lead-based paint is abated per current federal requirements. The use of lead-based paint is prohibited in newly constructed Item: 12

units.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City will leverage limited CDBG funds to address the needs of poverty-level families by partnering with nonprofit agencies that primarily focus services to these households. Specifically, the City will fund programs that provide safety net services such as food banks, limited financial assistance to prevent eviction, low-cost medical and dental care, and fair housing education/enforcement services.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City of Lake Forest will continue efforts to eliminate institutional gaps and enhance coordination of programs with all segments of the community. For example, the City will partner with nonprofit entities to deliver public services. City departments will continue to work together to evaluate programs and projects that may be funded in whole or in part with CDBG funds that address priority needs. The City will assist OCHA by participating in the Cities Advisory Committee – a quarterly meeting of cities and OCHA to discuss issues related to federal rental housing assistance and general housing issues. As a member of the OC-CoC Community Forum, the City will continue to provide information to the regional CoC as it prepares the County’s annual Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance grant application. The City will also continue to participate in the development of the County’s Ten-Year Plan to end chronic homelessness and the regional discharge plan.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City will continue to participate in regional coordination of services by participating in the Cities Advisory Committee - the quarterly meeting of cities and OCHA to discuss issues related to federal rental housing assistance and as a member of the OC-Co C Community Forum. On an annual basis, the City meets with service providers to discuss service needs and ways to improve service to residents. Another example of enhanced coordination is the preparation of the county-wide Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing. The City participated in the development of this document, which required significant jurisdictional coordination.

Discussion:

As previously outlined, HUD regulations require that the City prepare an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing choice (Al) every five years. In addition to identifying impediments, the AI includes a strategy to overcome barriers and action steps to implement on an annual basis. The City reports AI accomplishments in the annual year-end report. The City of Lake Forest joined other Orange County jurisdictions to fund the preparation of a county-wide AI. The AI evaluates existing demographic data, past fair housing enforcement activity for each partner community, mortgage lender data, and existing housing and land use public policies. Based on an analysis of this data, plus the input of residents, a list Item: 12

of impediments to fair housing choice for the County has been developed. A corresponding set of action steps to address these barriers has also been prepared. A summary of the of 2025-2029 Orange County AI is incorporated into the Consolidated Plan as Appendix A – the entire AI is available for review on the City’s website. The specific action steps the City will take during FY 2026-2027 to address impediments to fair housing can also be found in Appendix A.

The CDBG program's primary objective is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities for persons of low- and moderate-income (those earning 80 percent or less of Orange County's median income). This funding is provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The scope of eligible activities established by HUD ranges from public works improvements to housing rehabilitation and social service programs. FY 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan The Consolidated Plan is a five-year strategic plan that identifies priority community needs and projects/programs that may be implemented to meet these needs. The Annual Action Plan outlines the City's proposed use of CDBG funds for a twelve-month period. To date, HUD has not announced 2026 grant allocations; however, for planning purposes, the City anticipates receiving $500,000 in CDBG funds for FY 2026-2027. Program income generated by the repayment of prior funded housing rehabilitation loans and prior year uncommitted funds will also be available to undertake eligible housing activities, which is estimated at $0 (carryover) and $25,000 (program income). Based on the City's estimated FY 2026-2027 CDBG allocation, the following activities are proposed: Program Name Program Description Proposed 5190701 - CDBG FY2627 Action Plan - Page 1 of 3

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 05/05/2026
DEPARTMENT: Management Services
SUBJECT:

ETNIES SKATEPARK OF LAKE FOREST FINAL CONCEPT DESIGN
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

1. Receive a presentation detailing the proposed final concept design for Etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest.

2. Approve the proposed final concept design for Etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

On June 3, 2025, the City Council approved the 2025-2032 Strategic Business Plan (“Strategic Plan”) and the 2025-2032 Capital Improvement Plan (“CIP”).

Strategic Plan initiative SP#31 directs staff to conduct a public engagement process and generate a conceptual design for the Skatepark for City Council consideration. The CIP identifies the Skatepark project as project 24P03 and includes a $2 million construction budget.

On October 1, 2025, the City entered into a professional consultant services agreement with Action Sports Design (“ASD”) to gather feedback from park users and residents related to the Etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest (“Skatepark”).

The consultant was to provide a draft conceptual design for the renovation of the Skatepark. Pursuant to the Professional Consulting Services Agreement with ASD (“Agreement”), ASD held three community outreach meetings along with an online survey.

On March 9, 2026, ASD provided staff with the final concept design for the Skatepark (Attachment). Staff reviewed the documents and confirmed that the components of the plan aligned with the results of the community outreach meetings and online survey. The final concept design includes four major components:

Renovation of Street Areas: Modernize the existing street plaza and lane to better accommodate novice and intermediate skill-level riders.

Improvements include reducing ramp grades, adding entry-level features, and installing new perimeter quarterpipes to improve user flow.

Item: 13
447

Park Features Alignment: Reconfigure specialized park features to align with the abilities of contemporary users. Key modifications include removing the underutilized "cradle" to improve flow bowl access, leveling the clover and mini bowls, and flattening the mini street lane.

Transition to an All-Wheel Park: Expand park access to include BMX bikes and scooters in response to strong park user demand. This programmatic shift requires no construction modifications and would utilize separate sessions to maintain safety and maximize facility activity.

Construction of a Pump Track: Install a high-demand, multi-discipline pump track on the eastern portion of the park site. This looping feature accommodates all skill levels and would expand the facility's footprint, potentially making it the largest skatepark of its kind in California.

The estimated total cost of the improvements identified by the final concept design is $2.1 million (including a 15% contingency). These estimated costs are slightly above the $2 million construction budget established by the City’s CIP for this project. Staff recommend the City Council receive and file a presentation from ASD describing the specifics of the final concept design for the Skatepark.

Staff also recommend the City Council approve the final concept design. If approved, staff plan to move forward with the subsequent final design phase for the project, which will provide more accurate cost estimates for construction.

BACKGROUND:

Since the Skatepark’s opening in 2003, demand for novice and intermediate skill- level skate features has increased relative to the demand for professional skill- level features. While the Skatepark provides features for all skill levels, the novice and intermediate-level skill areas receive the highest amount of traffic. Novice skill-level skateboarders consistently skate the street plaza and lane areas, which offer a safer and less intense environment relative to the features on the west end of the park. These novice and intermediate skill-level skill areas include relatively low ramps, less grade change, and have more “forgiving” features.

Over the past two decades, skateboarding has grown from a niche hobby into a mainstream sport, highlighted by its inclusion in the Olympic Games and rising youth participation. Skatepark program data reflects this trend, showing a shift toward novice-level users. Between July 1, 2020, and July 1, 2025, beginner- level group and private lessons had 1,387 participants, compared to 150 participants in intermediate-level lessons. This gap shows strong demand for entry-level learning among park users. However, the current Skatepark layout Item: 13
448

primarily supports advanced users, which does not reflect the facility’s contemporary user base.

On June 3, 2025, the City Council approved the Strategic Plan and the CIP.

Initiative SP#31 of the Strategic Plan directs staff to conduct a public engagement process and generate a conceptual design for the Skatepark for City Council consideration. The CIP identifies the Skatepark project as project 24P03 and includes a $2 million construction budget.

On October 1, 2025, the City entered into the Agreement with ASD for public outreach and conceptual design services. As part of the public engagement effort, ASD hosted three public meetings and created an online survey to collect feedback from Skatepark users about the project. ASD held meetings on December 18, 2025, January 22, 2026, and February 12, 2026. At the first meeting on December 18, 2025, there were 27 in attendance and 32 connected to the Zoom meeting. Staff communicated the intent of the renovation project and the anticipated goals for the community outreach meetings. The intent of the project is to revitalize the skateable surface to reflect the changing user demographics at the facility. The goal is to upgrade features that align with current skating trends, perform preventative maintenance, and rehabilitate deteriorating areas to contain annual maintenance costs. ASD coordinated a tabletop exercise to collaborate on the specified areas of interest within the Skatepark. Groups discussed the priority of elements to keep and used a sticker board to track requests for new park features. Attendees were given 5 stickers to mark their preferred Skatepark elements. Images 1 through 3 show participants identifying priority areas and participating in the sticker board exercise.

Image 2: Sticker board exercise Image 3: Sticker board exercise At the second meeting on January 22, 2026, ASD presented three draft concept plans based on the feedback received from the first meeting. The highly requested features were from both BMX riders and skateboarders. Attendees from the first meeting as well as online survey respondents overwhelmingly supported the of transitioning the Skatepark to an all-wheel facility that is “beginner friendly.” These same respondents also stressed the need to maintain access to the Skatepark’s more advanced features. Further consensus was recorded on the following key points:
Removal of less popular areas in the street plaza, such as the “Hubba” and “Five Flat Five” and level up (reduce grade change) the concrete to provide a beginner-friendly area.
Creating fluid transitions in the flow area to cater to novice and intermediate skill-level riders while preserving the ability of more advanced skill-level riders to perform technical tricks. Incorporating additional elements that will be more accommodative to novice-level riders, such as:
o“Hubba,” a sloped concrete ledge running alongside a staircase. o“Bank to Ledge,” an angled slanted surface (bank) that leads to a flat ledge to perform tricks.
o“Bank to Hip,” non-curved wall (bank) features a 45-to-90-degree angle change (hip) used for tricks and gaining speed.
o“Quarter Pipe,” one half of a curved mini ramp used to perform tricks, change direction, and gain speed.
o“Ledges,” in the flow area to link different obstacles and maintain continuous movement in the park.
o“Pump Track,” a looping track with small hills and banked turns with no pedaling or pushing required.
Removing the “cradle” to enable more flow within the bowl area where it is currently situated (see Image 4 below).

Item: 13

From 2003 to 2011, BMX bikes were allowed at the Skatepark on a limited basis via sessions that ensured a separation from skateboarders. This was done to preserve safety for park users. BMX bike access at the Skatepark was discontinued in 2011 due to issues with insurance coverage and associated regulations with the State of California. In 2015, California Assembly Bill 1145 was passed, which expanded liability protections for local governments seeking to incorporate BMX bikes and other wheeled devices in public skateparks. AB 1145 remedied the regulatory issues that forced the City to discontinue BMX bike access at the Skatepark in 2011.

The “cradle” is a signature, iconic feature at the Skatepark, but the feature is rarely used as it is a high skill-level skateable obstacle. Removal of the cradle would expand access to the flow bowl section for intermediate skill-level riders.

Image 4: Etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest Cradle
Outreach participants were enthusiastic about the addition of a pump track feature. Pump tracks are generally circular obstacle courses that allow BMX bikes and other device riders to traverse the track without needing to pedal or push their device. These tracks are increasingly popular with BMX riders and skateboarders alike. Outreach participants were shown the option of adding a “pump ribbon” feature that would be a short, straight course straddling a few sides of the existing park site but ultimately rejected the concept due to its incomplete circulation. Instead, outreach participants favored a complete pump track that could be constructed at the easternmost section of the park site (currently a flat grassy area).

At the February 12, 2026, meeting, ASD unveiled a draft of their conceptual design for the Skatepark. This draft incorporated the feedback received throughout the outreach process and included the removal of the cradle, Item: 13
451

enhancements to the street plaza and lane area, and the programmatic transition to an all-wheel facility. The plan was received positively by those in attendance. However, attendees continued to voice their support for the inclusion of a new pump track feature.

On March 9, 2026, ASD submitted their final concept design for the Skatepark (Attachment). The final concept design includes a stand-alone pump track site on the easternmost section of the park property. The final concept design also includes estimated construction costs. On April 8, 2026, ASD presented the final concept design to the Community Services Commission. The Commission provided favorable feedback and supported moving forward with the renovation of the Skatepark as proposed.

DISCUSSION:

The final concept design submitted by ASD includes four categories of improvements. Each categorical improvement would better align the park with current user demographics and likely attract new park visitors by offering new and unique amenities. Image 5 below provides a map of the proposed improvement areas for reference.

Image 5: Map of Proposed Improvements
Item: 13
452

Renovation of Street Plaza and Lane Areas
The street plaza and lane area is situated on the east half of the park site and includes the majority of the park’s novice to intermediate skill-level features. This is the most highly trafficked area of the park and attracted a high volume of feedback throughout the outreach process. While this area of the Skatepark tends to attract many novice skill-level riders, it still includes relatively advanced features.

Currently, the easternmost section of the street plaza and lane is relatively flat and open. The final concept design proposes adding two quarterpipe sections (one with a banked hip) to increase access and flow in this area. The plan also identifies the construction of two manual pad/box features. Manual pads are obstacles that are easily accessible to novice skill-level riders, while still remaining attractive to riders at a more advanced skill-level. Moving west, the ramps leading in and out of the street plaza area would be leveled up to decrease grade severity, along with minor upgrades to the existing equipment layout. This makes the transitions in and out of the plaza more accessible.

Park Features Alignment
A variety of improvements have been proposed to better align the Skatepark’s features with the skill levels of contemporary users. The final concept design identifies the removal of the “cradle” feature in the westernmost section of the park. While iconic, the cradle feature is rarely traversed due to the skill level needed to enjoy the obstacle. The cradle is situated in the middle of the flow bowl section. Removal of the cradle would open up the most advanced area of the park to more riders, which would accommodate riders interested in moving beyond an intermedial skill-level. This would be one of the most visible improvements to the Skatepark if construction were to move forward.

Just north of the flow bowl section that includes the cradle, the final concept design calls for minor improvements to be made to the clover and mini bowl sections. These improvements would reduce the grade severity of each bowl to make them more accessible to the intermediate skill-level riders.

Lastly, the final concept design proposes the renovation of the mini street lane section of the site, which is situated along the west wall of the property between the mini bowl and flow bowl sections. Currently, this area sees little use.

Proposed improvements include enhancements to the existing mini bowl and flattening out of the street lane along with the addition of a skateable curb.

These improvements would make the area more attractive to novice skill-level riders or first-time visitors to the Skatepark.

Item: 13
453

Transition to an All-Wheel Facility
Throughout the outreach process, ASD recorded significant support for transitioning the Skatepark to an all-wheel facility. Park visitors reflect a growing trend of skateboarders interested in BMX bikes, inline/quad skates, scooters, etc. Currently, only skateboards and inline/quad skates are allowed at the Skatepark. As a result of the passage of AB 115 in 2015, public skateparks are no longer restricted from accessing insurance coverage if the facility includes access for BMX bikes and other wheeled devices. ASD has confirmed the Skatepark’s physical layout can accommodate the all-wheel concept and there would be no physical transformation needed to accommodate BMX bikes and scooters.

Transitioning to an all-wheel facility would not require construction enhancements to any Skatepark features. Staff would need to implement programmatic changes to ensure safety, such as coordinating specific times for BMX bike access. Some programmatic changes will require updates to the LFMC, which staff would bring forward for consideration at a later date if the final concept plan is approved. As a result of the outreach results, ASD suggests transitioning the Skatepark to an all- wheel facility. ASD has confirmed their final concept design, if constructed, could accommodate this transition. This adjustment would likely attract new visitors to the facility and enhance the experience for regular users.

Construction of a Pump Track
Throughout the outreach process, the addition of a pump track was one of the most popular requests. Pump tracks are increasingly popular and can be traversed via skateboard, BMX bike, scooter, inline/quad skates, and other wheeled devices. These tracks are often in a loop formation and accommodate riders of all skill levels to traverse the course by “pumping” their legs to maintain momentum. The final concept design sites the pump track on the grassy hill area on the far eastern section of the park property (see Image 6 below). This open space area is currently unutilized and has no constructed features on it. The addition of the pump track would generate significant and diverse interest in the facility. Because the pump track addition would expand the footprint of the Skatepark facility, it may result in the Skatepark being formally recognized as the largest facility of its kind in all of California.

Image 6: Proposed Pump Track Feature
ASD identified a variety of pump track or similar features throughout the concept plan scoping process. Originally, a “pump ribbon” bordering two sides of the Skatepark was proposed but ultimately removed because the ribbon concept would not provide continuous circulation. The pump track proposed in the final concept design is completely self-contained in the eastern section of the park property. The pump track would provide continuous circulation and a variety of obstacles that could be enjoyed by riders of all skill levels. If constructed, the pump track would be the most significant improvement to the Skatepark identified by the final concept design.

According to the ASD, the total estimated construction cost of the project would be approximately $2.1 million, which is slightly above the $2 million budget established for this project in the CIP. This estimated cost includes a 15% construction contingency. If the City Council approves this final concept design, staff would procure a consultant to provide a final engineering design for the project. More specific construction material quantities and their associated costs will be identified during the final engineering design phase.

Staff recommend the City Council receive and file the presentation from ASD, which details the final concept design for the Skatepark. Staff also recommend the City Council approve the final concept design (Attachment).

HISTORY & PROJECT OVERVIEW
• Since opening the Skatepark in 2003, demand for beginner and intermediate level skate features has increased relative to the demand for professional-level elements. • Goal for the renovation of the skatepark is to update the current concepts and provide more beginner-friendly elements based on feedback from the community. • Community Outreach identified three main priorities:
- Improved the existing street plaza and street lanes with smoother, more consistent surfaces for beginner and intermediate users.
- Transition to an “all-wheel” park supporting skateboards, BMX, inline skates and scooters.
- Add a pump track as a modern, trademark feature for all ages and skill levels. • The Design reflects the strong community feedback and support for proposed changes to promote an active lifestyle for all ages.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 5/5/2026
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
SUBJECT:

ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO ABANDON WHISPERING

HILLS PARK SITE PURSUANT TO THE MUNICIPAL PARK ABANDONMENT LAW (GOVERNMENT CODE §38501 ET SEQ.)
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

1. Find that the proposed action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it does not commit the City to a definite course of action regarding development of the site, and alternatively, that the proposed action is exempt under the “common sense” exemption in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the action may have a significant effect on the environment. The action consists solely of the abandonment of undeveloped City-owned parkland and does not authorize any physical changes or development. City staff is directed to file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk and State Clearinghouse.

2. Adopt a Resolution entitled: “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF

THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST, CALIFORNIA, DECLARING ITS INTENTION

TO ABANDON REAL PROPERTY AND SETTING THE DATE FOR A

MEETING TO CONSIDER THE ABANDONMENT OF PROPERTY
PURSUANT TO THE MUNICIPAL PARK ABANDONMENT LAW OF 1939”

3. Set a public hearing date of June 9, 2026, to consider adoption of a final resolution ordering abandonment of the park designation.

4. Direct staff to publish and post required notices in accordance with State law.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City of Lake Forest (“City”) owns an approximately 6.5-acre undeveloped property commonly referred to as the Whispering Hills Park Site, located along the east side of Lake Forest Drive between Vintage Woods Road and Dimension Drive. The site is currently encumbered by an Irrevocable Offer of Dedication (“IOD”) for park purposes and is designated as Community Park/Open Space in the City’s General Plan.

Item: 14
479

On April 7, 2026, the City Council authorized staff to proceed with the Municipal Park Abandonment Law (“MPAL”) and Surplus Land Act (“SLA”) processes to evaluate reuse of the site (Attachment 1). Adoption of the proposed Resolution of Intention represents the first formal step under MPAL to consider whether the property should be abandoned for park purposes to allow for alternative uses (Attachment 2).

Approval of the recommended actions would direct staff to initiate the MPAL process. The City would complete the MPAL process first, then initiate the SLA.

Alternatively, the MPAL and SLA processes could proceed concurrently; however, both processes must be completed prior to any final action related to disposition of the property.

The proposed action(s) do not approve any development project. Rather, it initiates a statutory public process that includes noticing, publication, and a future public hearing prior to any final determination by the City Council.

BACKGROUND:

The Whispering Hills site consists of approximately 6.5 acres and has remained undeveloped since prior to the City’s incorporation in 1991. As part of original development approvals, the developer provided an IOD to the County of Orange for park purposes. The IOD was transferred to the City in 1999.

The site is designated as Community Park/Open Space in the General Plan.

Over the years, the City evaluated multiple park development concepts; however:
No clear community consensus emerged regarding a preferred park use No funding source was identified for construction, maintenance, or long- term operations
The site has remained vacant and unimproved
In response to State housing requirements and the City’s Strategic Plan, the City is evaluating a concept that would allow for affordable housing development on a portion of the site while retaining a publicly accessible park component.

DISCUSSION:

As discussed in the April 7, 2026, staff report, the Whispering Hills site has remained undeveloped for several decades despite its designation for park purposes and the City’s prior efforts to evaluate potential park concepts (Attachment 3). Those efforts did not result in a clear community consensus or Item: 14
480

identification of funding necessary to construct and maintain a park. As a result, the site has remained vacant.

Initiating the MPAL process would allow the City Council to consider whether the existing park designation should be maintained or whether alternative uses should be evaluated. The process provides an opportunity for public input prior to any final decision.

The MPAL establishes the process by which a city may abandon land that has been dedicated or designated for park purposes. The first step in this process is adoption of a Resolution of Intention by the City Council.

Adoption of the Resolution of Intention does not abandon the park site or approve any development. Rather, it initiates the required statutory process and sets a future public hearing for City Council consideration. State law requires that the Resolution of Intention be published once per week for three consecutive weeks, and posted at the site, prior to the public hearing to ensure adequate notice to the community.

Following completion of the noticing requirements, the City Council would conduct a public hearing to receive input and consider whether to adopt a final resolution ordering abandonment of the park designation. Any such action would be at the discretion of the City Council and subject to applicable findings based on the information presented.

As noted above, the future development of the Whispering Hills site is anticipated to include a park. To ensure that a portion of the Whispering Hills site is permanently reserved for park development, the Resolution of Intention includes a condition that abandonment of the site will become effective only upon recordation of a deed restriction for park purposes over a portion of the Whispering Hills site. The general area of the Whispering Hills site that will be subject to the deed restriction is depicted in Attachment 4.

A proposed timeline illustrating how the MPAL process could be coordinated, pending City Council approval, is listed in Table 1 below:

Item: 14

If the City Council ultimately determines to abandon the park designation, the property would be subject to SLA. A preliminary timeline illustrating how the SLA processes could be coordinated is provided in Table 2 below. The timeline is intended for planning purposes only and may be adjusted based on City Council direction, public input, or other procedural requirements.

Date Action

August 2026 Solicitation Period Ends
November 2026 90-Day Good Faith Negotiation Period Ends/Staff Submits Report to HCD
December 2026 *HCD letter due
*Only necessary should HCD find violation committed in SLA Process The draft timeline is subject to change. The proposed process is intended to balance the City’s affordable housing objectives with the continued provision of park amenities and open space, consistent with community feedback received to date. City Council direction at this time will inform how staff does or does not proceed with the MPAL and SLA.

Environmental Review:

The proposed action to adopt a Resolution of Intention is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it does not commit the City to a definite course of action regarding development of the site.

Environmental review will be conducted if and when a specific development proposal is considered. Moreover, the proposed action is exempt under the “common sense” exemption in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the action may have a significant effect on the environment. The action consists solely of the abandonment of undeveloped City-owned parkland and does not authorize any physical changes or development. City staff is directed to file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk and the State Clearinghouse.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is minimal impact associated with the recommended action.

DEPARTMENT: City Manager
SUBJECT:

POTENTIAL REUSE OF WHISPERING HILLS PARK SITE
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

1. Authorize Staff to move forward with the Municipal Park Abandonment Law (“MPAL”) and the Surplus Land Act (“SLA”) process to facilitate reuse of the Whispering Hills Park Site.

2. Receive and file.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City of Lake Forest (“City”) owns an approximately 6.5-acre undeveloped site known as the Whispering Hills property. The site is located along the east side of Lake Forest Drive between Vintage Woods Road and Dimension Drive.

The site is encumbered by an Irrevocable Offer of Dedication (“IOD”) for park purposes that was originally granted to the County of Orange (“County”) and transferred to the City in 1999. Although designated as Community Park/Open Space in the City’s General Plan, the site has remained vacant due to the lack of funding for park construction, maintenance, and long-term operations. Over the years, the City explored various park concepts; however, prior outreach efforts did not result in consensus on a preferred recreational use.

In alignment with State housing mandates and the City’s Strategic Business Plan (“Strategic Plan”), the City is now evaluating a concept that would allow for the development of affordable housing on a portion of the Whispering Hills site while retaining a publicly accessible park component. Strategic Plan Initiative No. 13 specifically identifies Whispering Hills Affordable Housing Development as a priority, with an initial outreach phase followed by a development phase subject to City Council authorization.

Item: 14
499

ATTACHMENT 3
Figure 1: Conceptual Layout of Affordable Housing Project and Passive Park at Whispering Hills Site
As part of Phase 1 outreach, staff conducted two community meetings in November 2025 to inform residents and the surrounding Homeowners Association of the concept and applicable State requirements. Outreach included mailed notifications to approximately 818 nearby residences and the establishment of a dedicated City email address to receive questions and comments. Attendance at both meetings was modest and feedback was generally positive. While residents raised questions related to traffic, parking, site access, and neighborhood compatibility, there was no significant opposition to the concept of affordable housing with an integrated park, and most participants expressed support for maintaining open space amenities on the site.

Advancing the project would require compliance with two State-mandated processes: the Municipal Park Abandonment Law (“MPAL”) and the Surplus Land Act (“SLA”). These processes involve City Council actions, public hearings, statutory noticing requirements, and coordination with the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”). At this time, staff are not seeking project approval, but rather City Council direction on whether to proceed with these required processes and to continue advancing the concept consistent with the Strategic Plan.

City Council direction will guide staff’s next steps, including legal review, and future consideration of development options that balance affordable housing needs with the continued provision of park amenities.

ATTACHMENT 3
BACKGROUND:

The City owns an approximately 6.5-acre park site commonly referred to as the “Whispering Hills” site, located along the east side of Lake Forest Drive between Vintage Woods Road and Dimension Drive. The site has remained undeveloped since prior to the City’s incorporation in 1991. As part of the original development approvals, the developer responsible for constructing the park did not complete the required park improvements and instead provided the County with an IOD for park purposes. The IOD was subsequently transferred from the County to the City in 1999.

The Whispering Hills site is adjacent to residential neighborhoods and commercial uses and is designated as Community Park/Open Space in the City’s General Plan. Over the years, the City has explored various options to develop the site as a park. Prior community outreach efforts generated interest in a range of recreational amenities; however, no clear consensus emerged regarding a preferred park use. Due to the lack of clear consensus and the absence of identified funding for capital improvements, ongoing maintenance, and long-term operations, the site remains undeveloped.

In response to ongoing housing needs and State housing requirements, the City is now evaluating a redevelopment concept that would allow for the development of affordable housing on a portion of the site while retaining a park component to continue serving community recreational needs. This approach is intended to balance the City’s affordable housing objectives and State requirements with the preservation of public open space, consistent with community feedback and prior planning discussions.

The City Council approved the City’s Strategic Plan on June 3, 2025. Included in the Strategic Plan is Strategic Initiative No. 13, Whispering Hills Affordable Housing Development. This initiative is structured in two phases. Phase 1 consists of an outreach process that includes engagement with the surrounding Homeowners Association and nearby residents. Phase 2 contemplates advancement of the development process, subject to City Council authorization.

DISCUSSION:

Staff initiated community outreach for the Whispering Hills site in October 2025 to inform nearby residents of the City’s exploration of potential development. As part of this effort, staff established a dedicated City email address, [email protected], to respond to questions and receive public comments. In addition, postcards were mailed to approximately 818 residential addresses surrounding the site to notify residents of upcoming community meetings and provide information on how to participate in the process.

Item: 14
501

ATTACHMENT 3
Two community workshops were held to accommodate varying schedules and maximize public participation. The first workshop took place on the evening of Thursday, November 6, and the second was held on the morning of Saturday, November 15. A total of 19 residents attended the Thursday meeting, and eight residents attended the Saturday meeting.

Overall, feedback received from residents was generally positive. There was neither strong opposition nor overwhelming support expressed; however, most participants were receptive to the concept of an affordable housing development dedicated to seniors with a park component on the site. Residents appreciated the opportunity to learn about the site constraints, applicable State requirements, and to provide early input before any formal project design or entitlement actions.

At both meetings, staff provided an overview of the site, background on the IOD, and an explanation of how parks are typically developed in conjunction with residential projects. Staff also discussed the City’s objectives for the site and presented preliminary concept images illustrating how affordable housing and a park could coexist. Figure 2 presents one of the preliminary concept images demonstrated at the meetings. Initial remarks and discussion reflected general support for addressing affordable housing needs while retaining a publicly accessible park.

ATTACHMENT 3
During the Thursday, November 6 meeting, residents raised several questions and considerations, including traffic speeds and safety related to site access, whether the park would function as a neighborhood park or a destination park, and whether pedestrian access, including potential stairways, would be provided on the hillside. Additional discussion topics included concerns about homelessness, the resident selection process for affordable housing, potential priority for Lake Forest residents, background screening practices, age verification for any age-restricted units, parking adequacy, overall project scale and unit count, and whether the City would receive revenue from the development. One attendee suggested consideration of alternative recreational uses, such as a pump track, referencing the City of San Clemente’s recently completed pump track project that was funded through a combination of donations and City matching funds.

The Saturday, November 15 meeting followed a similar format and included a smaller group discussion. Of the nine attendees, seven expressed support for a passive park concept integrated with affordable housing. Comments focused on maintaining neighborhood character, ensuring compatibility with surrounding uses, and preserving open space amenities for nearby residents.

Staff will continue to incorporate community input if the project should advance.

The outreach conducted to date indicates general acceptance of the concept and a shared interest in maintaining a park presence on the site while addressing housing needs.

Next Steps:

If authorized by the City Council, staff would advance the project through a phased and transparent process to ensure legal compliance, and continued community engagement, with the objective of bringing an affordable housing opportunity while retaining a park component at the site. To proceed with development of the land, the City must complete two distinct statutory processes:
the Municipal Park Abandonment Law (“MPAL”) and the Surplus Land Act (“SLA”) process.

Under the MPAL process, the City Council would first consider adoption of a Resolution of Intention expressing the City’s intent to abandon the site for development purposes. Following adoption, the Resolution of Intention would be published once per week for three consecutive weeks, as required by State law.

Upon completion of the publication period, the City Council would conduct a public hearing and consider adoption of a final resolution to formally abandon the park designation, subject to applicable findings.

Concurrently, or in coordination with the MPAL process, the City would be required to comply with the SLA. This process would begin with the City Council Item: 14
503

ATTACHMENT 3
declaring the property surplus and staff issuing a Notice of Availability (“NOA”) to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) and other eligible entities. Following issuance of the NOA, interested parties would have a 60-day period to notify the City of their interest in the property. If interest is received, the City would be required to engage in good-faith negotiations for a minimum of 90 days to determine acceptable terms, including price and development parameters. If no agreement is reached during the negotiation period, the City may proceed with disposition of the property, subject to HCD’s review and confirmation that the City has complied with SLA requirements. Upon completion of the solicitation and negotiation process, staff would submit a report to HCD documenting compliance. HCD would then have 30 days to review the submittal and notify the City if a violation of the SLA is identified. In the event of a violation, the City would have 60 days to remedy the issue.

A preliminary timeline illustrating how the MPAL and SLA processes could be coordinated is provided in Table 1 below. The timeline is intended for planning purposes only and may be adjusted based on City Council direction, public input, or other procedural requirements.

At the end of Fiscal Year 2023–24, the City’s SMP fund balance was approximately $226,000, with the majority accumulated during the COVID-19 pandemic. To reduce the accumulated fund balance and maintain long-term compliance with Measure M2 requirements, staff implemented Strategic Plan Initiative #43, which expanded the taxi program. A significant increase in ridership resulting from the taxi program expansion, together with higher fare rates authorized under the Third Amendment, resulted in higher program expenditures. As the City enters Fiscal Year 2026-27, the excess SMP fund balance is expected to be fully exhausted, a condition also being experienced by other cities in the region that receive SMP funding. To ensure long-term sustainability, annual program expenditures must now be aligned with the projected OCTA funding levels, necessitating a return to pre-expansion service levels.

Staff recommend the City Council approve the proposed Fifth Amendment to the OCY Agreement (Attachment 7). The proposed Fifth Amendment would add $60,000 in compensation, revise the scope to ensure long-term program sustainability, and extend the term of the OCY Agreement until June 30, 2027.

The additional $60,000 would come from the City’s existing M2 funding. The Fifth Amendment would also enable the City to restrict cab service to only the Clubhouse Senior Center (“Clubhouse”) and implement a $5-per ride fee. The proposed Fifth Amendment would be the final extension available in the OCY Agreement. Staff plan to issue a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) to procure a new senior taxi services contract in Fall 2026.

BACKGROUND:

The current SMP consists of bus transportation and taxi service, both offered through contracts. The majority of funding for the City’s SMP is provided by the OCTA Measure M2. Funding is allocated to Orange County cities based on senior population figures for the entire county. Per the funding agreement with OCTA, the City is required to provide 20% matching funds and OCTA provides the remaining 80% from Measure M2. The City’s 20% matching fund amount is offset by fees collected for the SMP and in-kind work provided by City staff. Fees are paid directly to the service provider. The City has never contributed funds directly towards the program. OCTA’s Measure M2 funding guidelines require that SMP transportation can only be taken to locations within Orange County.

The City contracts with Age Well Senior Services, Inc., (“Age Well”) to provide bus transportation to Lake Forest residents 60 years and older, Monday through Thursday, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. and beginning July 1, 2026, 3:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. Transportation to The Clubhouse and staff- organized programs are the focus of the programs associated with the Age Well contract. Bus transportation includes curb-to-curb service on a fully accessible 14-passenger bus. Riders must call in advance to make reservations to ride the bus. Ridership averages about 400 passengers per month. Age Well buses are also used for transportation as part of The Clubhouses’ Mini Excursion program.

Age Well buses currently provide free transportation to City-sponsored senior activities/programs. However, staff are proposing (as a separate item on this May 5, 2026, agenda) to implement a $2-per way fee to help offset program costs and ensure the long-term viability of the SMP.

The senior taxi program offers Lake Forest Seniors discounted taxi services 24- hours a day, seven days a week. Seniors use the taxi service to complete activities of daily living, such as coming to The Clubhouse, traveling to medical appointments, shopping for groceries, picking up prescriptions, or visiting family members. Currently, the OCY Agreement enables residents to travel both within Item: 15

and outside of Lake Forest City limits. Trips to The Clubhouse are currently free, while trips to the rest of the City and surrounding cities have a nominal fee.

DISCUSSION:

At the end of Fiscal Year 2023–24, the City’s SMP fund balance was approximately $226,000. The majority of this balance accumulated during the COVID-19 pandemic, beginning in late Fiscal Year 2019–20. Due to COVID-19- related restrictions, the bus program was temporarily suspended and the taxi program operated on a limited basis. OCTA requires the City to conduct an annual review of its SMP fund balance to ensure funds are expended within the five-year timeframe required under the M2 Ordinance. To reduce the accumulated fund balance and maintain long-term compliance with Measure M2 requirements, staff implemented Strategic Plan Initiative #43. The goal of this initiative was to increase the use of the SMP by adding more destination options to the taxi program. These additional destinations included Laguna Niguel, Laguna Woods, Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, the VA Clinic in Santa Ana and John Wayne Airport. The increased ridership associated with the addition of these new destinations is documented in Table 3 below.

The significant increase in ridership resulting from the senior taxi program expansion, together with higher fare rates authorized under the Third Amendment, resulted in higher program expenditures. As the City enters Fiscal Year 2026-27, the excess SMP fund balance is expected to be fully exhausted, a condition also being experienced by other cities in the region that receive SMP funding. To ensure long-term sustainability, annual program expenditures must be aligned with the projected OCTA funding levels, necessitating a return to pre- expansion service levels.

Staff are proposing the Fifth Amendment to the OCY Agreement. The Fifth Amendment would increase the compensation by $60,000 for a revised total compensation of $405,543.62, extend the term of the Agreement to June 30, 2027, and revise the scope of services. Scope revisions would enable the City to eliminate travel outside of Lake Forest and limit service to trips to and from The Clubhouse. These changes, coupled with the implementation of a $5 per-trip fee, will support program sustainability for an additional fiscal year. Staff have evaluated alternative transportation options for seniors impacted by the program revisions. Information on these options will be provided to program participants in a letter distributed prior to the July 1, 2026, implementation date.

Vendor Performance Assessment
Pursuant to the City’s Purchasing and Contracting Guidelines, staff complete a vendor performance assessment during a proposed contract amendment. The vendor assessment is a guide to determine if 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 an evaluation form, staff rates the consultant in each category.

Table 5 below provides an overall assessment of the consultant’s performance since work under the original Agreement was initiated. Consistent with the City’s Purchasing and Contracting Guidelines, including the vendor assessment, the contract is eligible for a contract amendment.

Staff recommend the City Council authorize the proposed Fourth Amendment to the Agreement with Orange County Yellow Management, LLC.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of the recommended action would result in an additional $60,000 in compensation authorized to be paid to Orange County Yellow Management, LLC. Funds for the SMP are received from the Orange County Transportation Authority (“OCTA”) under the Measure M2 sales tax program, providing 80% of funding with a 20% City match. The 2025-2027 Operating Budget includes sufficient funding to cover the costs of the recommended action.

Dear Ms. Blethen,
We’re writing to inform you of some exciting changes coming to Cabco Yellow, Inc. Recent developments in California law have required us to revise our business structure. As such, effective June 1, 2025, Cabco Yellow Inc., dba California Yellow Cab will be closing to make way for Orange County Yellow Cooperative, Inc (OCYC). OCYC is Orange County’s first and only Taxicab Cooperative, proudly owned entirely by drivers.

While Cabco Yellow is closing its doors, the new Co-Op has agreed to retain us as management under the banner of OCY Management, LLC. This will ensure seamless continuity of service in the days, months and years ahead.

Our staff, call center, and main office location will remain the same. In the upcoming days Melissa Gomez, Program Manager, will share company details such as a new W9, updated certificates of insurance, and whatever else is necessary to ensure our partnership continues and there is no contract interruption. Should we need to create a new contract or write a letter of agreement, please let us know as soon as possible.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 05/05/2026
DEPARTMENT: Management Services
SUBJECT:

SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH AGE WELL SENIOR
SERVICES, INC. FOR SENIOR BUS TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

1. Approve the Second Amendment to the Agreement with Age Well Senior Services, Inc. with a compensation amount of $307,786.65 for Senior Bus Transportation Services.

2. Authorize the Mayor to sign, and the City Clerk to attest, the Second Amendment to the Agreement with Age Well Senior Services, Inc., substantially in the form attached.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The Community Services Division is responsible for overseeing the City’s Senior Mobility Program (“SMP”). The SMP consists of bus transportation and taxi services for Lake Forest residents 60 years of age and older. Funds for the SMP are received from the Orange County Transportation Authority (“OCTA”) under the Measure M2 sales tax program, which provides 80% of funding for the SMP with a 20% City match. The City’s 20% matching fund amount is completely offset by any fees collected for the SMP and in-kind work provided by City staff.

The City has contracted with Age Well Senior Services, Inc. (“Age Well”) for senior bus services since 2014. The City Council approved a professional consulting services agreement for senior bus services with Age Well in June of 2022 with total compensation of amount of $214,351.50 (“Agreement”) (Attachment 1). The Agreement provided for two (2) potential one-year extensions at the City’s discretion. The First Amendment (Attachment 2) was approved by the City Manager in June of 2025. The First Amendment increased the compensation amount to $235,786.65 and extended the term by one year through June 30, 2026.

At the end of Fiscal Year 2023-24, the City’s SMP fund balance was approximately $226,000, with the majority accumulated during the COVID-19 pandemic. To reduce the accumulated fund balance and maintain long-term compliance with Measure M2 requirements, staff implemented Strategic Item: 16
584

1 3
Business Plan Initiative #43, which expanded the senior taxi service. This resulted in a significant increase in taxi service ridership, which is used by some seniors in conjunction with the bus service to get to and from The Clubhouse Senior Center (“Clubhouse”). As the City enters Fiscal Year 2026-27, the SMP fund balance is expected to be fully exhausted, a condition also being experienced by other cities in the region that receive SMP funding. To ensure long-term sustainability, the annual program expenditures must now be aligned with the projected OCTA funding levels, necessitating service adjustments to the City’s senior mobility programs.

Staff recommend the approval of the proposed Second Amendment to the Agreement with Age Well to provide senior bus transportation services (Attachment 3). The proposed Second Amendment would extend the term to June 30, 2027, provide an hourly service rate increase of 3.01% based on the applicable Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) adjustment, and increase the total compensation amount by $72,000. If approved, the new total compensation amount would be $307,786.65. The proposed Second Amendment would also enable the City to charge a $2-per-ride fee to offset overall program costs. This would financially stabilize the SMP while still offering seniors a low-cost, socially engaging transportation option to get to-and-from the Clubhouse from their residence. Currently, there is no fee to ride the senior bus. The 2025-2027 Operating Budget includes sufficient funding to cover the costs of the recommended action.

BACKGROUND:

The SMP consists of bus transportation and taxi services for residents aged 60 and over. The City currently contracts with Age Well to provide the senior bus service to Lake Forest residents Monday through Thursday, between the hours of 8:30AM to 10:00AM and 2:00PM to 3:30PM. The senior bus service includes curb-to-curb transportation on a fully accessible 14-passenger bus. Passengers must call and make reservations in advance of riding on the bus. Age Well buses currently provide free transportation to City-sponsored senior activities/programs. Age Well transports seniors to City-sponsored senior activities/programs only, including two excursions per month to locations throughout Orange County. The service averages approximately 400 trips per month.

Funding for the City’s SMP is provided by the OCTA Measure M2 and the City’s General Fund. Measure M2 funding is allocated to participating cities based on senior population figures for the entire county. Per the Measure M2 funding agreement with OCTA, OCTA provides 80% of funding for eligible transportation services and the City must provide the remaining 20%. The City’s 20% matching Item: 16
585

1 3
funds are offset by any fare revenue collected from the participant and in-kind staffing costs.

The City Council approved the Agreement with Age Well in June of 2022 with a $214,351.50 compensation amount. The First Amendment to the Agreement was approved by the City Manager in June of 2025. The First Amendment increased the compensation amount to $235,786.65 and extended the term by one year through June 30, 2026. The City’s Purchasing and Contracting Guidelines authorized the City Manager to execute the First Amendment because the compensation increase totaled $21,435.15, representing 10% of the original contract amount. The total compensation amount for the original Agreement and the First Amendment is $235,786.65.

At the end of Fiscal Year 2023-24, the City’s SMP fund balance was approximately $226,000, with the majority of the balance accumulated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, senior activities (and transportation to those activities) were legally restricted. As a result, many cities that receive SMP funding began to accumulate a relatively high balance of funds. To reduce the accumulated fund balance and maintain long-term compliance with Measure M2 requirements, staff implemented Strategic Plan Initiative #43 (from the 2023-2030 Strategic Business Plan), which expanded the senior taxi service. This resulted in a significant increase in taxi service ridership, which is used by some seniors in conjunction with the bus service to get to-and- from The Clubhouse Senior Center (“Clubhouse”).

As the City enters Fiscal Year 2026-27, the SMP fund balance is expected to be fully exhausted, a condition also being experienced by other cities in the region that receive SMP funding. To ensure long-term sustainability, annual program expenditures must now be aligned with the projected OCTA funding levels, necessitating service adjustments to the City’s senior mobility programs.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed Second Amendment to the Age Well Agreement would increase the compensation amount in the Agreement by $72,000.00 and extend the term by one year through June 30, 2027 (Attachment 3). While there is currently no fee charged to users, the Second Amendment would enable the City to charge a nominal $2-per-ride fee for the senior bus service to maintain the financial stability of the program going forward. This fee could be adjusted in the future as needed to ensure the program remains fiscally sound while maintaining a low- cost transportation option for Clubhouse visitors. The fee does not cover the full cost of the senior bus service; rather, it mitigates the financial impact the service has on the SMP as a whole.

Upon adoption of the Second Amendment, staff would adjust the availability of the senior bus service by moving the afternoon service times to later in the day.

Currently, the afternoon senior bus service hours are 2:00PM to 3:30PM for pick- up and drop-off. Staff plan to adjust hours to 3:00PM to 4:30PM. Under the current pick-up and drop-off shift, some Clubhouse visitors opt to take the senior taxi service home because the senior bus service hours are nearly complete by the time they leave the facility. By moving the afternoon senior bus service hours back later in the day, more seniors will have convenient access to the service, which would enable seniors to reduce their reliance on the senior taxi service. This would help mitigate the impact of the proposed $5-per ride fee for the senior taxi program (proposed under a separate action item as part of the May 5, 2026, City Council agenda) because the more affordable senior bus service will be more accessible. This schedule change would not increase costs.

The per hour cost of the senior bus service, including the proposed fifth year cost identified by the Second Amendment, is described in Table 1 below. The increase in the per-hour cost of 3.01% is based on the applicable CPI and accounts for projected cost increases for staffing, fuel, vehicle repair and maintenance, and operations.

The compensation section of the Agreement was originally established based on anticipated ridership per year. Since the start of the Agreement, actual costs have been slightly lower than projected. This is illustrated in Table 2.

Vendor Performance Assessment
Pursuant to the City’s Purchasing and Contracting Guidelines, staff complete a vendor performance assessment during a proposed contract amendment. The vendor assessment is a guide to determine if 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 an evaluation form, staff rates the consultant in each category.

Table 4 below provides an overall assessment of the consultant’s performance since work under the original Agreement was initiated. Consistent with the City’s Purchasing and Contracting Guidelines, including the vendor assessment, the contract is eligible for a contract amendment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of the recommended action will result in an additional $72,000 in compensation authorized to be paid to Age Well and provide a 3.01% CPI increase to hourly service rates. If approved, the total compensation amount of the Agreement would increase to $307,786.65. Funds for the SMP are received from the OCTA under the Measure M2 sales tax program, providing 80% of funding with a 20% City match. The 2025-2027 Operating Budget includes sufficient funding to cover the costs of the recommended action.
