The State recognizes that specific activities on the project property may change over time; however, all uses on the property must remain consistent with the authorizing legislation and in accordance with the following requirements:
Acquisition Projects
For acquisition of lands for conservation or open space purposes, Grantee or Grantee’s successor in interest shall hold, in perpetuity, the real property only for the purpose for which the grant was made and make no other use or sale or other disposition of the property without the written permission of the State. Grantee shall not use or allow the use of any portion of the real property as security for any debt.
For acquisition of real property for purposes other than conservation or open space (or those funded by bond dollars), Grantee or Grantee’s successor in interest shall hold, maintain, operate, and use the real property only for the purpose for which the grant was made and make no other use, sale, or other disposition of the property without the written permission of the State and shall not use or allow the use of any portion of the property as security for any debt for the following Land Tenure Term:
• At least 10 years for Grants up to $100,000
• At least 20 years for Grants up to $1 million
• At least 25 years for Grants over $1 million
After the Land Tenure Term, if the real property ceases to be used for a public purpose, or the property is sold or otherwise disposed of, the Grantee or the Grantee’s successor in interest shall reimburse the State a percentage of the property’s equity equivalent to the percentage of grant funds contributed toward the original acquisition.
For all acquisitions, regardless of purpose and Land Tenure Term, Grantee or Grantee’s successor in interest shall not use or allow the use of any portion of real property acquired with grant funds for mitigation (i.e., to compensation for adverse changes to the environment elsewhere) without the written approval of the State. Additionally, a deed restriction or a Memorandum of Unrecorded Grant Agreement (MOUGA) which defines the State’s interest in the property must be recorded for all acquisitions.
Development Projects
Grantee shall maintain and operate the project developed pursuant to this grant and shall not use or allow the use of any portion of the project property as security for any debt for the following Land Tenure Term:
• At least 10 years for Grants up to $100,000
• At least 20 years for Grants up to $1 million
• At least 25 years for Grants over $1 million
Grantee shall not use or allow the use of any portion of the project property for mitigation (i.e., to compensate for adverse changes to the environment elsewhere) without the written approval of the State.
22 With the approval of the State, Grantee or Grantee’s successor in interest in the property may enter into an agreement with another party to maintain and operate the project property in accordance with this grant program. At a minimum, the agreement must do the following:
a. Clearly spell out the roles of each party in detail. b. Be signed by both parties signifying their acceptance. c. Not terminate prior to the Land Tenure Term required by the grant agreement (only agreements that allow early termination for cause or by mutual consent will be acceptable).
d. Include language that Grantee will resume responsibility for ongoing operation and maintenance in the event of cancellation.
Grantee may be excused from its obligation to operate and maintain the project site only upon the written approval of the State for good cause. Good cause includes, but is not limited to, natural disasters that destroy the project improvements and render the project obsolete or impracticable to rebuild.
23 R. SAMPLE DEED RESTRICTION LANGUAGE - APPLICABLE TO ACQUISITIONS FOR
CONSERVATION PURPOSES ONLY
The property described in this deed was purchased in part or in whole with grant funds provided by the State of California by and through the Natural Resources Agency (“the State”) under the General Fund Specified Grant Program and is referred to herein as the “Burdened Property”. The Burdened Property currently consists of [project description from appraisal/DGS memo]. Landowner desires and intends that in order to provide public benefit and meet the terms of the funding, the Burdened Property shall be used only for purposes consistent with the funding.
Use of the burdened property is restricted and shall exclusively be for [project use based on purpose of the program/project proposal]. If access for the public ever needs to change location, scope, or scale, landowner will seek consent from the State.
Unless otherwise expressly identified in this deed, all development rights are extinguished.
Landowner acknowledges the restrictions, extinguished development rights, and other dedications in this deed provide a benefit to the burdened property and all other adjacent property, as well as the People of the State of California, and the terms of this deed shall run with the land and bind all successive owners in interest consistent with Civil Code section 815 et seq. No other uses are permitted or granted herein, and any violation of these restrictions or dedications will operate to automatically revert the Burdened Property to the State of California.
The Burdened Property (including any portion of it or any interest in it) may not be sold or transferred without the written approval of the State. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided the purposes for which the funding was awarded are expressly assumed by the purchaser as part of the purchase agreement and prior to the close of escrow.
Responsibilities to maintain and operate the Burdened Property in accordance with this deed runs with the land.
Obligations for operation and maintenance of the Burdened Property may be abandoned only upon the written approval of the State and only for good cause. Good cause includes, but is not limited to, natural disasters that destroy the property. Good cause shall not include more expedient or economically beneficial development.
The Burdened Property, or any portion thereof, may not be used for mitigation without the written permission of the State.
The Burdened Property, or any portion thereof, may not be used as security for any debt.
These restrictions imposed on the Burdened Property shall run with the land and pass with each and every portion of the Burdened Property and shall apply to and bind the respective successors in interest to the Burdened Property.

26 T. ELIGIBLE COSTS
The following are general principles to be considered in determining whether an expense is eligible under the General Fund Specified Grant Program
1. Expenses must be incurred within the project performance period outlined on the Grant Agreement cover page and/or subsequent amendments and must align with the cost estimate.
2. Direct project-related expenses, if supported by appropriate documentation.
3. Grantees should use good judgment in purchasing items and services to be paid with grant funds. Project expenses should be cost-effective and economical and tie to the approved project scope and budget.
4. Expenses paid with grant funds must serve a public purpose.
5. Food and Beverage Expenses:
a. Employee meals incurred as a travel expense necessary to carry out the grant project may be reimbursed at a rate at or below the State employee per diem reimbursement rate in effect at the time of travel. See https://www.calhr.ca.gov/employees/Pages/travel-reimbursements.aspx b. Food expenses for grants that are reasonable and necessary to complete the grant project may be eligible at the discretion of the State. The specific purpose for the expense must be discussed and approved by the State and included as a separate item in the grant budget.
c. Grant funding cannot be used to purchase alcoholic beverages.
6. Grantee’s Staff Labor - Costs for the services of grantee's employees directly engaged in project execution must be computed according to grantee's prevailing wage or salary scales and may include benefits such as vacation, sick leave, Social Security contributions, etc., that are customarily charged to grantee’s various projects, excluding overhead allocations.
a. Labor costs charged to the project must be computed on actual time spent on the project and evidenced by time and attendance records describing the work as well as payroll records. Overtime costs may be allowed under grantee’s established policy, provided the regular work time was devoted to the same project.
b. Salaries and wages claimed for employees working on State grant-funded projects must not exceed grantee's established rates for similar positions. c. Only salary plus benefits are eligible. No indirect rates or overhead costs may be folded into the hourly rate. No billable rates may be used.
7. Contracted Services – The costs of contracted services may be reimbursed if invoices are presented with payment requests that identify the specific project activities provided and include evidence of payment.
27 8. Overhead - Overhead expenses are the non-project specific expenses of doing business that are not directly related to the implementation of the project to be funded (for example, rent, computers, telephones, office supplies, internet access, copy machines, electricity). Certain types of overhead are not allowed including food and beverage, fundraising, lobbying and entertainment. Any expense that is billed as a direct expense may NOT be included in overhead. a. Overhead should be included as a line item in the approved project budget and is limited to a maximum of 15% of total direct expenses of a grant. b. Grantees that wish to charge overhead must be able to document the appropriateness of the charges. One typical method for documentation is to have a Cost Allocation Plan. Other methods may also be adequate, but it is the grantees responsibility to determine this based on Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. It is recommended that grantees develop an appropriate method for calculating their overhead rate and determine what overhead expenses may be allocated to the grant, subject to the Agency’s approval and the 15% limit. It is the responsibility of the grantee to maintain appropriate records for all overhead expenses and to be able to provide those records in the event of an audit.
9. Vehicles owned/leased by Grantee - Mileage incurred on Grantee-owned vehicle(s) can be charged at a per mile rate according to Grantee’s internal mileage policy or at the State rate in effect at the time of the trip, whichever is less. A Mileage Log with the date, destination, and grant purpose related to the scope, and signed by the operator and supervisor must be submitted along with a copy of the policy to support the mileage rate.
10. Equipment – Equipment owned by Grantee may be charged to the project for each use. Equipment use charges must be made in accordance with Grantee's normal accounting practices, the equipment rental rates published by the California Department of Transportation, or local prevailing rental rates, whichever is less. Link to California Department of Transportation rental rates: https://dot.ca.gov/programs/ construction/equipment-rental-rates-and-labor-surcharge.
If the Grantee's equipment is used, a report or source document must describe the work performed, indicate the hours used, relate the use to the project, and be signed by the operator and supervisor.
Equipment may be leased, rented, or purchased, whichever is most economical. If equipment is purchased, its residual market value must be credited to the project expenses upon completion of the project.

Contact your Grant Administrator for further clarification or questions.
31 V. GENERAL FUND SPECIFIED GRANT ADVANCE POLICY
All California Natural Resources Agency (Agency) grants are reimbursement programs.
This means grantees pay project expenses and then seek reimbursement from grant funds. General fund specified grants are one exception in which advance funds may be available subject to the following conditions:
1. All advance requests must be submitted in writing using the Advance Payment Request Form and signed by the grantee’s Authorized Representative.
2. Overhead costs may be advanced up to the percentage of the grant described in the program guidelines and included as a separate approved line item in the project budget.
3. If advanced funds are used to pay grantees’ in-house labor costs, timesheets submitted during reconciliation must show all staff time and be tracked to different projects or activities.
The amount of advanced funds requested should be determined after working with the Grant Administrator to identify grantees’ immediate cash needs and the timeline for expenditure of requested advanced funds. Generally, advanced funds should be expended within three to six months.
The recommended request amount is increments of no more than 25 percent of the grant at a time. Generally, all advanced funds should be reconciled before another advance is requested. If immediate need is demonstrated, up to 90 percent of the grant award may be advanced.
4. Advances are not subject to retention. The last 10 percent of a grant cannot be advanced.
5. Any special provisions in the grant agreement relating to conditions necessary for release of funding must be met prior to requesting an advance.
6. Advanced funds must be deposited and held in a separate, FDIC-insured, interestbearing account until spent. Public grantees can choose to deposit the funds in their treasuries. Any interest earned on the advanced funds should be applied to the project for which funds were advanced.
Grantees must submit account statements to the Grant Administrator showing all transactions relating to the advanced funds and any interest earned for every month advanced funds are held in the account. Statements should be submitted with reconciliation documentation as described in paragraph 9.
7. If advanced funds are passed through grantee to a separate entity that is implementing the project (e.g., when funds are granted to a city for the benefit of a non-profit organization), grantee must ensure the immediate need of advanced funds and that advanced funds are deposited and held as outlined in the preceding paragraph.
32 8. Grantees must submit reconciliation documentation no more than monthly and no less than quarterly. Reconciliation documentation will be reviewed and approved in the same manner as a reimbursement payment request. Reconciliation documentation should include the following, as applicable:
• Advance Reconciliation Form
• Project Expenditures Form
• Grantee Labor Costs Form
• Employee Compensation Form
• Equipment Cost Form
• Planning Grant Certification Form
• Proof of expenses incurred
• Proof of payment
• All monthly account statements
since date of last reconciliation
9. Failure to provide reconciliation documentation and account statements at least quarterly will disqualify grantees from receiving additional advanced payments.
10. Grantees must repay any unused or inadequately-documented advanced funds to Agency within sixty days of project completion or the end of the project performance period, whichever is earlier. Grantees will not be eligible for any other Agency grants until funds have been repaid.
11. At project closeout, grantees must account for and provide proof that all interest earned on advanced funds was applied to the grant project.
12. Agency reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to approve or deny an advance payment request. Final approval will be based on, but is not limited to, consideration of the following:
• Grantees’ explanation of immediate need for an advanced payment • Grantees’ performance on prior Agency or other State grants, with particular consideration of past performance issues
• Grantees’ record of providing timely and adequate payment backup documentation on previous Agency grants.

This shall include the right to contribution for loss of damage to persons or property arising from, growing out of, or in any way connected with or incident to this Agreement, except claims arising from the gross negligence of the State, its officers, agents, and employees.

Grantee shall indemnify and hold harmless the State, its officers, agents, and employees in perpetuity against any and all claims, demands, damages, costs, expenses, or liability costs arising out of the Project, which claims, demands, or causes of action arise under Government Code Section 895.2 or otherwise, including but not limited to items to which the Grantee has certified, except for liability arising out of the gross negligence of the State, its officers, agents, or employees. Grantee acknowledges that it is solely responsible for compliance with items to which it has certified. Under this indemnification provision, Grantee shall not be responsible for defending the State in court but shall reimburse for actual invoiced costs associated with the defense.
Grantee and the State agree that in the event of judgment entered against the State and Grantee because of the gross negligence of the State and Grantee, their officers, agents, or employees, an apportionment of liability to pay such judgment shall be made by a court of competent jurisdiction.

E. Project Termination
1. Prior to the completion of project construction, either party may terminate this Agreement by providing the other party with thirty (30) days’ written notice of such termination. The State may also terminate this Grant Agreement for any reason at any time if it learns of or otherwise discovers that there is a violation of any state or federal law or policy by the Grantee which affects performance of this, or any other grant agreement or contract entered into with the State.
2. If the State terminates without cause the Agreement prior to the end of the Project Performance Period, the Grantee shall take all reasonable measures to prevent further costs to the State under this Agreement.

The State may, at its sole discretion, consider extenuating circumstances and not require repayment for work partially completed provided that the State determines it is in the State’s best
39 interest to do so. This paragraph shall not be deemed to limit any other remedies available to the State for breach of this Agreement.
4. Failure by the Grantee to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement under the Act may be cause for suspension of all obligations of the State hereunder.
5. Failure of the Grantee to comply with the terms of this Agreement shall not be cause for suspending all obligations of the State hereunder if, in the judgment of the State, such failure was due to no fault of the Grantee. At the discretion of the State, any amount required to settle at minimum cost any irrevocable obligations properly incurred shall be eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement.
6. Because the benefit to be derived by the State, from the full compliance by the Grantee with the terms of this Agreement, is the for the purposes as stated in the Application for the people of the State of California, and because such benefit exceeds to an immeasurable and unascertainable extent the amount of money furnished by the State by way of grant funds under the provisions of this Agreement, the Grantee agrees that payment by the Grantee to the State of an amount equal to the amount of the grant funds disbursed under this Agreement by the State would be inadequate compensation to the State for any breach by the Grantee of this Agreement. The Grantee further agrees therefore, that the appropriate remedy in the event of a breach by the Grantee of this Agreement shall be the specific performance of this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed to by the State.
F. Hold Harmless
1. Grantee shall waive all claims and recourses against the State, including the right to contribution for loss or damage to persons or property arising from, growing out of, or in any way connected with or incident to this Agreement, except claims arising from the gross negligence of State, its officers, agents, and employees.

Grantee acknowledges that it is solely responsible for compliance with items to which it has certified.
3. Grantee and State agree that in the event of judgment entered against the State and the Grantee because of the gross negligence of the State and the Grantee, their officers, agents, or employees, an apportionment of liability to pay such judgment shall be made by a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither party shall request a jury apportionment.

Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld as long as the purposes for which the grant was awarded are maintained.

4. Reimbursement of Grant with interest: At the State’s sole discretion, if the Grantee owns the Project Property and the use of the property is changed to a use that is not permitted by the Agreement or if the property is sold or otherwise disposed of by Grantee, the State may seek an amount equal to: (1) the amount of the Grant plus accrued interest at the prime interest rate at the time of disposition, and (2) the amount of any increase in property value attributed to grant-funded improvements to the Project Property. If the Grantee does not own the Project Property, and the use of the Project Property is changed to a use that is not permitted by this Agreement or is sold or otherwise disposed of within the Land Tenure Term, at the State’s sole discretion, the Grantee shall be liable for immediate repayment to the State of all amounts disbursed by the State under this Agreement, plus accrued interest at the prime interest rate at the time of disposition.
5. Grantee shall not use or allow the use of any portion of the Project Property as security for any debt during the Land Tenure Term. If the grantee does not own the Project Property, written approval of the State must be obtained for use of the Project Property (including any portion of it or any interest in it) to be used as security for any debt, provided such approval by the State shall not be unreasonable withheld as long as the purposes for which the Grant was awarded are maintained and does not make the State a guarantor or a
41 surety for any debt, nor waive the State’s rights to enforce performance under this Agreement.
6. Grantee shall not use or allow the use of any portion of the Project Property for mitigation without the written approval of the State.

E. Project Termination
1. Prior to the last to occur of (1) State’s deposit of the Grant Funds into escrow and (2) Grantee’s close of escrow for Acquisition of the easement and/or real property, either party may terminate this Agreement by providing the other party with a minimum of thirty (30) days’ written notice of such termination. The State may also terminate this Grant Agreement for any reason at any time if it learns of or otherwise discovers that there is a violation of any state or federal law or policy by the Grantee which affects performance of this, or any other grant agreement or contract entered into with the State.
2. If the State terminates without cause the Agreement prior to the end of the Project Performance Period, the Grantee shall take all reasonable measures to prevent further costs to the State under this Agreement. The State shall be responsible for any reasonable and non-cancelable obligations incurred by the Grantee in the performance of the Agreement prior to the date of the notice to terminate, but only up to the undisbursed balance of funding authorized in this Agreement.
3. If the Grantee fails to complete the project in accordance with this Agreement or fails to fulfill any other obligations of this Agreement prior to the termination date, the Grantee shall be liable for immediate repayment to the State of all amounts disbursed by the State under this Agreement, plus accrued interest and any further costs related to the Project. The State may, at its sole discretion, consider extenuating circumstances and not require repayment for work partially completed provided that the State determines it is in the State’s best interest to do so. This paragraph shall not be deemed to limit any other remedies available to the State for breach of this Agreement.
4. Failure by the Grantee to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement under the Act may be cause for suspension of all obligations of the State hereunder.
50 5. Failure of the Grantee to comply with the terms of this Agreement shall not be cause for suspending all obligations of the State hereunder if, in the judgment of the State, such failure was due to no fault of the Grantee. At the discretion of the State, any amount required to settle at minimum cost any irrevocable obligations properly incurred shall be eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement.
6. Because the benefit to be derived by the State, from the full compliance by the Grantee with the terms of this Agreement, is the for the purposes as stated in the Application for the people of the State of California, and because such benefit exceeds to an immeasurable and unascertainable extent the amount of money furnished by the State by way of grant funds under the provisions of this Agreement, the Grantee agrees that payment by the Grantee to the State of an amount equal to the amount of the grant funds disbursed under this Agreement by the State would be inadequate compensation to the State for any breach by the Grantee of this Agreement. The Grantee further agrees therefore, that the appropriate remedy in the event of a breach by the Grantee of this Agreement shall be the specific performance of this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed to by the State.
F. Hold Harmless
1. Grantee shall waive all claims and recourses against the State, including the right to contribution for loss or damage to persons or property arising from, growing out of. or in any way connected with or incident to this Agreement, except claims arising from the gross negligence of State, its officers, agents, and employees.

Grantee acknowledges that it is solely responsible for compliance with items to which it has certified.
3. Grantee and State agree that in the event of judgment entered against the State and the Grantee because of the gross negligence of the State and Grantee, their officers, agents, or employees, an apportionment of liability to pay such judgment shall be made by a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither party shall request a jury apportionment.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: February 20, 2024 ITEM NUMBER: 11H
To: Mayor Jordan Nefulda & Members of the City Council
Presented By: Ron Noda, Development Services Director
Subject: Resolution No. 2024-05 - Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Project Application FY 2024/25
SUMMARY
Revision to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Application Resolution for Fiscal Year 2024/2025.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 2024-05, entitled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LOS ALAMITOS, CALIFORNIA APPROVING THE CITY’S PARTICIPATION IN THE FISCAL YEAR 2024/2025 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM WITH THE COUNTY OF ORANGE.”
BACKGROUND
The Orange County Housing and Community Development & Homeless Prevention department administers and disperses Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) monies for smaller cities such as Los Alamitos. The Program provides federal funds to cities with populations under 50,000 for programs that are targeted toward community development.
The funds are commonly used for neighborhoods that have a substantial number of low, very low, and extremely low-income residents, and can be used for Senior or ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) projects as well.
At the October 16, 2023, City Council meeting, Staff recommended that the City Council approve three street sections of asphalt for repair, which were approved. Since that time, Staff has reconsidered its recommendation and identified alternative streets that will be more appropriate for repair at the current time. Staff requests the City Council to approve the new scope with alternate streets that are located within the approved CDBG boundaries.
DISCUSSION
In Orange County, CDBG funds are pursued through competitive grant applications submitted to the County. The request for approval of this year’s resolution will require a City match on the resolution of 20% to fulfill the requirement on the grant application for fund requests that are over $150,000.00.
The Planning Commission suggested the following for next year’s project:
Street Repair
Maple Street from Green Avenue to Farquhar Avenue; Howard Avenue from Los Alamitos Boulevard to Reagan Street; Howard Avenue from Bloomfield Street to Noel Street.
Approximate Cost
Street Repair - $350,000 with a 20% City match
FISCAL IMPACT
Should the County approve our application, future expenditures of 20% matching funds (cost depending on the projects selected above) will be reflected in next year's annual Capital Improvement Plan budget. The matching funds are anticipated to be drawn from the City’s General Fund, which was historically drawn from Gas Tax or the City’s General Fund.

The parcel of land that is being dedicated to the City is needed for the proposed improvements to Westbound Katella Avenue from Epson Way. Proposed improvements include widening existing lanes and shoulders to standard widths, reconfiguring the ramp termini of the Northbound I-605 entrance and loop exit ramps, transitioning the No.4 lane to a dedicated right-turn lane at the Northbound ramp intersection, and providing standard bike lanes.

Recording of the maps to dedicate a 4,011 square feet (S.F.) parcel along Katella Avenue (blue area in the map shown below) for street improvement purposes is a requirement for the facilitation of the interchange improvements proposed by OCTA in cooperation with Caltrans
and the City of Los Alamitos. The project will improve traffic circulation and pedestrian and bicycle safety. Caltrans has prepared the dedication maps for the proposed site and has submitted them to the City for approval and recording.

The Planning Commission recommends to the Council acceptance of the parcel of land dedication. The City Engineer and City Surveyor have reviewed the submitted street/parcel dedication maps and all associated documentation for the subject property.
The following is a projected timeline for the OCTA Interchange Improvement project.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: February 20, 2024 ITEM NUMBER: 11J
To: Mayor Jordan Nefulda & Members of the City Council
Presented By: Ron Noda, Development Services Director
Subject: Resolution No. 2024-09 - Orange County Housing Finance Trust
SUMMARY
This item recommends that the City of Los Alamitos join the Orange County Housing Finance Trust (OCHFT), a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) formed between Orange County cities and the County of Orange in 2019. Enacted by Assembly Bill 448, the OCHFT provides funding for residential developments that preserve and produce affordable and supportive housing. These funds improve the financial viability of individual housing projects and can also increase each project’s competitiveness with state and federal funding sources. Additionally, OCHFT works with a variety of government and nonprofit entities to attract more state and federal housing funds to Orange County. Joining the OCHFT would support the City to achieve the stated goals and objectives of the 6th Cycle Housing Element.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-09, entitled, "A RESOLUTION OF CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF LOS ALAMITOS, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING, AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING
CITY EXECUTION OF THE JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS AGREEMENT RELATING TO MEMBERSHIP IN THE IN THE ORANGE COUNTY HOUSING FINANCE TRUST"; and,
2. Authorize the Mayor to execute the Orange County Housing Finance Trust Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement.
BACKGROUND
In June 2018, the Orange County Board of Supervisors approved a Housing Funding Strategy in response to the shortage of affordable housing in Orange County. Later that year, the Association of California Cities-Orange County worked with state legislators to pass Assembly Bill 448 to form the OCHFT as a JPA that pursues and provides affordable housing projects with critical gap financing.
There are 26 member cities in the OCHFT (attachment 1) out of a total of 34 cities in the County of Orange. Members include Aliso Viejo, Anaheim, Buena Park, Costa Mesa, Dana Point, Fountain Valley, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, Irvine, Laguna Beach, Laguna Hills, La Habra, Lake Forest, Laguna Niguel, Mission Viejo, Newport Beach, Orange, Placentia, San Juan Capistrano, Santa Ana, Seal Beach, Stanton, Tustin, Westminster, and Yorba Linda. In addition, the County of Orange is also a member.
The OCHFT is governed by a nine-member Board of Directors. According to the JPA by-laws
(Attachment 2), the Board is composed of two members of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange; two countywide elected officials; three city representatives, one each from the most highly populated city in each of the County’s three Service Planning Areas (North, Central, and South); and two additional city council representatives selected by the City Selection Committee.
OCHFT Membership
The OCHFT does not build, own, or manage housing projects. OCHFT cannot require that housing projects be located in specific cities, require member cities to take an allocation of supportive housing units, or require that cities provide a local funding match. The OCHFT Board of Directors determines whether a funding application meets the Notice of Funding Availability criteria. Each local jurisdiction maintains land use control and processes the entitlement consistent with its zoning and municipal code requirements. Developers with affordable and supportive housing projects in member cities can apply to OCHFT for construction and/or permanent loans, currently offered at a three percent simple interest rate.
Permanent residual receipt loan terms are 55 years, which is also the required affordability covenant period for borrowers.
DISCUSSION
Los Alamitos joining the OCHFT provides a tool to increase the supply of affordable housing in the city and the region. With membership, affordable housing developments located in Los Alamitos will be able to apply to OCHFT for capital, operating, and social services financial support for projects. By providing another source of gap financing and increasing local funding, OCHFT increases the competitiveness of affordable housing projects for state and federal funds. This coordinated approach is intended to bring back tax dollars to Orange County that would otherwise be distributed to other regions of California. Joining the OCHFT would support the approved City’s Housing Element goals of encouraging more affordable and supportive housing, as well as the objective to secure state, federal, and local affordable housing funds and to assist in finding funding sources.
Since its formation in 2019, OCHFT has secured $67.5 million in funding. In addition, the OCHFT has developed an innovative Accessory Dwelling Unit loan program to help homeowners and increase the supply of affordable units. In 2024, the OCHFT anticipates launching a revolving pre-development loan program to help cities and developers with a short-term loan that contributes to the acquisition and pre-development expenses for affordable housing projects.
The OCHFT work plan also includes an active partnership with local legislators to secure additional state and federal funding for Orange County's affordable and supportive housing projects. Presently, OCHFT distributes funding from three sources: State of California – Local Housing Trust Fund Program, County General Fund, Federal funding, CalOptima, SCAG and County Mental Health Services Act (MHSA). Among these sources, OCHFT membership is not required for MHSA funding applications.
FISCAL IMPACT
The JPA contains a provision that requires members to contribute towards the administrative expenses of OCHFT if sufficient grant funding is not obtained. Member cities were not required
to contribute funding for fiscal years 2021-2022, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024 because the OCHFT successfully secured grant funding to support the administrative portion of the budget.
In 2020-2021, the Trust Board approved a membership cost allocation based on population.
Those fees at that time were:
• Small City with less than 60,000 population = $6,121
• Medium City between 60,000 and 95,000 population = $12,242 • Large City with greater than 95,000 population = $24,484 Variables affecting membership cost include the number of member cities, funding sources that can be used to cover administrative expenses, and the adopted administrative budget. If costs exceed a certain threshold, the City would have the option to terminate its membership.
The City would maintain the right to withdraw from the JPA subject to a written resolution and by providing a six-month notice.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: February 20, 2024 ITEM NUMBER: 11K
To: Mayor Jordan Nefulda & Members of the City Council
Presented By: Ron Noda, Development Services Director
Subject: Cooperative Agreement with Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) for Countywide Signal Synchronization Baseline Project
SUMMARY
This Cooperative Agreement between the City and OCTA establishes the responsibilities of each agency to develop and implement inter-jurisdictional traffic signal synchronization along various corridors within Los Alamitos as part of a countywide effort to enhance traffic flow and reduce congestion.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to execute the Cooperative Agreement with Orange County Transportation Authority for the Countywide Signal Synchronization Baseline Project.
BACKGROUND
The Orange County Transportation Authority’s (OCTA) Measure M2 Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (Project P), through an annual call for regional corridor projects, has been successful in retiming over two thousand signals in Orange County since 2011. In the past three years, Katella Avenue, through the City of Los Alamitos, selected for competitive Project P grant funding, synchronized and re-timed all traffic signals between I-605 to Winner Circle. Projects funded through Project P have improved travel times, reduced delays, and congestion. However, an arterial corridor experiences the most benefits immediately following a re-timing. However, since the re-timing optimized for the current traffic conditions, with traffic patterns and volumes fluctuations throughout the years , these timing plans become less effective. Therefore, it is best practice to periodically re-synchronize traffic signals to ensure operational efficiency and adjust for changes in traffic.
DISCUSSION
The OCTA aims to build and reset the synchronization baseline for Orange County’s Signal Synchronization Network (SSN) through the Countywide Signal Synchronization Baseline Project. This project ensures that the timing of all signals on the SSN are revisited on a consistent basis rather than relying on an overdue corridor to be nominated by participating agencies. OCTA has engaged all thirty-four local cities, the County of Orange, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), and the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) as participants in this countywide project.
The project will accomplish the following:
1. Set a Countywide Signal Synchronization Baseline by re-timing 2,500 Orange County signals along significant regional corridors to avoid any crossing coordination conflicts and ensure signal timing based on current traffic volumes.
2. Separate Orange County into zones with signals and corridor segments grouped based on traffic congestion to facilitate implementation.
3. Transition from a corridor-based to a zone-based approach that is re-timed on a regular basis to minimize conflicts with crossing corridors. Monitor the performance of the signals in the interim and enhance upcoming re-timing efforts to maximize the benefits of the zone-based approach.
The cooperative agreement describes the duties and responsibilities between OCTA and the City of Los Alamitos on the Countywide Signal Synchronization Baseline Project for the next five years. By entering into the cooperative agreement, the City would agree to support OCTA’s countywide efforts by providing requested existing traffic signal data and plans, committing staff time to review recommended timing plans, and overall participation in implementing the Countywide Signal Synchronization Baseline Project (Project). OCTA will be the lead and implementing agency for the Project. OCTA will procure and manage a consultant to collect any necessary traffic data and develop and implement synchronized timing plans.
There is no funding obligation for the City to participate other than staff time as needed.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.

Subject: Awarding of Bid for Demolition and Construction Services for Sterns Park Rehab Project (CIP No. 23/24-04)
SUMMARY
This item recommends the award of a bid for demolition and construction services for the Sterns Park Rehab Project at 3871 Farquhar Avenue (CIP No. 23/24-04). City Staff recommends awarding the lowest, responsible bidder, Western State Builders, Inc., for a total project cost of $1,115,387.00.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Award demolition and construction services for the Sterns Park Rehab Project at 3871 Farquhar Avenue (CIP No. 23/24-04) to Western State Builders, Inc; and,
2. Authorize the Mayor to execute the Articles of Agreement with Western State Builders, Inc. for the Sterns Park Rehab Project (CIP No. 23/24-04) in the amount of $1,650,00.
BACKGROUND
The City of Los Alamitos and Hirsch and Associates have prepared construction documents for the Sterns Park Rehab Project. The project site is a neighborhood pocket park located at 3871 Farquhar Avenue. Approximately 16,500 square feet (0.38 acres), Sterns Park was last refurbished in June 1997. The demolition of the existing playground structure, picnic benches, sandlot, and surrounding amenities will be converted into a fully accessible school-age playground. This will allow for a child who may be in a wheelchair or have limited mobility to experience any area of the playground. Additionally, the improvements will bring many new features, including swing sets with an ADA swing, spring riders, exercise equipment, a completely renovated picnic shelter, and improved landscaping areas. The majority of the existing trees and park dedication monument will be retained. The next phase of this project is to award the approval of plans and specifications and demolition and construction services for the Sterns Park Rehab Project (CIP No. 23/24-04).
The Development Services Department, in partnership with the City Manager and Administration Department, Recreation and Community Services Department, have worked with Hirsch and Associates to prepare the construction documents for the Sterns Park Rehab Project. A Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit bids for the construction of the Sterns Park Rehab Project was issued on December 18, 2023. The RFP required information from qualified subcontractors to submit a complete bid with safety records, bonding and insurance capacity, technical specifications, set plans, and structural calculations.
DISCUSSION
Notices announcing the solicitation of bids for this project were posted as ads in the Event News Enterprise for two consecutive weeks prior to the bid submittal deadline of Monday, January 29, 2024. Bids for the project were publicly accepted through the City electronic bid submittal system, BidNet, on Wednesday, December 20, 2023, at 11:00 am. Of the two (2) total bids received, City Staff determined that the lowest responsible bid submitted was from Western State Builders, Inc., with a total bid amount of $1,115,387.00. The bid results are provided below:
Los Angeles Engineering, Inc. $1,688,000.00
Western Builders, Inc. $1,155,387.00
After the awarding of the demolition and construction services for the Sterns Park Rehab Project, the timeline will consist of the following major benchmarks:

A. In compliance with and pursuant to Government Code Section 4215, AGENCY shall assume the responsibility, as between the parties to this AGREEMENT, for the timely removal, relocation, or protection of existing main- or trunk-line utility facilities located on the site of any construction project that is a subject of this AGREEMENT, if such utilities are not identified by AGENCY in the plans and specifications made a part of the invitation for bids.
The Contract Documents shall include provisions to compensate CONTRACTOR for the costs of locating, repairing damage not due to the failure of CONTRACTOR to exercise reasonable care, and removing or relocating such utility facilities not indicated in the plans and specifications with reasonable accuracy, and for equipment on the project necessarily idled during such work. CONTRACTOR shall not be assessed liquidated damages for delay in completion of the project when such delay was caused by the failure of AGENCY or the owner of a utility to provide for removal or relocation of such utility facilities.
B. To the extent that the work requires trenches in excess of five feet (5’) and is estimated to cost more than $25,000, prior to any excavation, CONTRACTOR must provide the AGENCY, or a registered civil or structural engineer employed by the AGENCY to whom authority has been delegated to accept such plans, a detailed plan showing the design of shoring, bracing, sloping, or other provisions to be made for worker protection from the hazard of caving ground during the excavation of such trench or trenches. If such plan varies from the shoring system standards, the plan shall be prepared by a registered civil or structural engineer. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to allow the use of a shoring, sloping, or protective system less effective than that required by the Construction Safety Orders.
C. This AGREEMENT is further subject to Public Contract Code Section 7104 with regard to any trenches deeper than four feet (4’) involved in the proposed work as follows:
CONTRACTOR shall promptly, and before the following conditions are disturbed, notify AGENCY, in writing, of any:
(1) Material that CONTRACTOR believes may be hazardous waste, as defined in Section 25117 of the Health and Safety Code, which is required to be removed to a Class I, Class II, or Class III disposal site in accordance with existing law. (2) Subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site differing from those indicated by all available information provided prior to the deadline for submission of bids. (3) Unknown physical conditions at the site of any unusual nature, different materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in the contract.
AGENCY shall promptly investigate the conditions, and if it finds that the conditions do materially so differ, or involve hazardous waste, and cause a decrease or increase in CONTRACTOR’s cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part of the work, AGENCY shall issue a change order under the procedures described in this AGREEMENT.
SECTION D – Page 6

CONTRACTOR shall retain any and all rights provided either by contract or by law which pertain to the resolution of disputes and protests between the contracting parties.
ARTICLE VI: Insurance
A. With respect to performance of work under this AGREEMENT, CONTRACTOR shall maintain, and shall require all of its subcontractors to maintain, insurance as required by Section E “Standard Specifications” of the Contract Documents.

CONTRACTOR and any of CONTRACTOR’s subcontractors shall be required to provide AGENCY with a written statement acknowledging its obligation to secure payment of Worker’s Compensation Insurance as required by Labor Code § 1861; to wit: ‘I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for workers’ compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that code, and I will comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the work of this contract.’ If any class of employees engaged in work under this AGREEMENT at the site of the Project is not protected under any Worker’s Compensation law, CONTRACTOR shall provide and shall cause each subcontractor to provide adequate insurance for the protection of employees not otherwise protected. CONTRACTOR shall indemnify and hold harmless AGENCY for any damage resulting from failure of either CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor to take out or maintain such insurance.
ARTICLE VII: Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by law, CONTRACTOR shall, at its sole cost and expense, fully defend, indemnify and hold harmless AGENCY, its authorized representatives and their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, members, directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, actions, demands, costs, judgments, liens, penalties, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including but not limited to any fees of accountants, attorneys or other professionals (collectively “Liabilities”), arising out of, in connection with, resulting from or related to, any act, omission, fault or negligence of CONTRACTOR, CONTRACTOR’s Representative, or any of its officers, agents, employees, Subcontractors or Suppliers, or any person or organization directly or indirectly employed by any of them (Collectively, the “Indemnitors”), in connection with or relating to or claimed to be in connection with or relating to the work performed under this AGREEMENT.

3, 2024, to property owners and tenants
within 500 feet. Additionally, notice of this
hearing was published in the News

Guidelines.
Jurisdiction and Approval Criteria: Any decision of the Planning Commission may be appealed to the City Council. The
appeal hearing shall be de novo and the City
Council may approve, approve with
conditions, or disapprove the matter. In the

Section 17.44.020(B)(4), of the Los Alamitos
Municipal Code (LAMC) requires that a Site

multifamily residential development project,
including duplex developments, with review
limited to adherence of the project to the

Mr. Aboulhosn has appealed the Planning Commission denial of Site Development Permit (SDP) 23-01, an application to construct a 3,490 square-foot, three-story, four-unit building on a vacant parcel at 10912 Walnut Street (“SDP 23-01” or the “Project”). On December 5, 2023, the Planning Commission considered the Project application at a duly noticed public hearing. Following receipt of the staff report, testimony of the Applicant, and deliberation,
the Planning Commission deadlocked on a vote to approve the Project with a split vote of two ayes, two nays, one recusal, and two absent. Failure to get approval constitutes a denial by the Planning Commission of SDP 23-01.
DISCUSSION
The Project application proposed the construction of a 3,490 square-foot, three-story, fourunit building on a vacant parcel at 10912 Walnut Street. The units in the main building will be two bedrooms and two bath units.
The site is located mid-block on the east side of Walnut Street between Florista Street and Katella Avenue. The adjacent properties are all developed and with multiple units in the Multiple Family Residential (R-3) zone.
Access and Parking:
Vehicle access is gained from the east side of the property in the alley. For the project build out, there are 12 parking spaces required. The Applicant proposes 12 parking spaces, meeting the City’s requirements.
