2. SUMMARY
This four-year agreement with California Waters Development, Inc., effective March 1, 2022, will provide regular twice-weekly maintenance and as needed repair to City fountains located at the Civic Center, the Main Library, Plaza Park, and Veterans Memorial at Depot Park. The not to exceed amount is $76,510.80.

3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve agreement with California Waters Development, Inc. in the amount of $76,510.80 for ongoing maintenance of four City fountains; and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute on behalf of the City.

4. FISCAL IMPACT
The total four-year expenditure for this agreement is $76,510.80 and will be funded through the General Fund (100).

5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 3: Enhance and promote quality of life in the community a: Renovate, maintain, develop, and/or expand public use places and spaces.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
The Community Services Department maintains City fountains located at the Civic Center, Main Library, Plaza Park, and Veterans Memorial at Depot Park. These fountains are prominent features in the City, with the Plaza and Main Library fountains having important historical significance. All fountains receive routine maintenance twice weekly. The scope of services also includes a one hour response time to emergencies, 24 hours/day, and seven days/week. The agreement with the current vendor expires February 28, 2022.

The Community Services Department solicited bids for fountain maintenance, consistent with the current scope of services, for a four-year agreement. Three bids were received:

1. California Waters Development, Inc. Yorba Linda, CA $ 63,759 City of Orange Printed on 1/5/2022Page 1 of 2
powered by Legistar™
33 Item #: 3.4. 1/11/2022 File #: 21-0687

2. Advanced Aquatic Technology, Inc. Orange, CA $ 69,352

3. Service First Santa Ana, CA $ 181,440
California Waters Development, Inc. (California Waters) submitted the lowest responsible bid.

Additionally, staff also verified the qualifications of the contractor with references provided for similar services. When compared to the base annual rates in the current agreement, the overall expense increased by approximately 2%, which is consistent with the cost of living increases in the current agreement.

In addition to the annual amounts, the contract includes an overall 20% contingency. Given the historical value of the fountains and the aging infrastructure supporting each fountain’sfunction, staff is recommending a 20% contingency applicable to each year of the agreement to address any unforeseen conditions or repairs over the next four years. The total aggregate cost of the four-year agreement, including contingency, is $76,510.80. A bid abstract is attached.

The Community Services Department maintains City fountains located at the Civic Center, Main Library, Plaza Park, and Veterans Memorial at Depot Park.

The scope of services also includes a one hour response time to emergencies, 24 hours/day, and seven days/week. The agreement with the current vendor expires February 28, 2022.

The Community Services Department solicited bids for fountain maintenance, consistent with the current scope of services, for a four-year agreement. Three bids were received:

2. Advanced Aquatic Technology, Inc. Orange, CA $ 69,352

3. Service First Santa Ana, CA $ 181,440
California Waters Development, Inc. (California Waters) submitted the lowest responsible bid.

Additionally, staff also verified the qualifications of the contractor with references provided for similar services. When compared to the base annual rates in the current agreement, the overall expense increased by approximately 2%, which is consistent with the cost of living increases in the current agreement.

In addition to the annual amounts, the contract includes an overall 20% contingency. Given the historical value of the fountains and the aging infrastructure supporting each fountain’sfunction, staff is recommending a 20% contingency applicable to each year of the agreement to address any unforeseen conditions or repairs over the next four years. The total aggregate cost of the four-year agreement, including contingency, is $76,510.80. A bid abstract is attached.

The term of this agreement will be March 1, 2022 through February 28, 2026. Sufficient funds are available in the General Fund (100) for the proposed agreement. Funding for the remaining years of the agreement is dependent upon City Council approval of the annual budget.

Hardware replacements include vendor installation and configuration in the event of a failure.

The current support agreement expires on January 31, 2022. The City has 30 days after expiration to renew without incurring a reinstatement fee. This proposed agreement would extend support of the storage area network through January 31, 2023 at a cost increase of 11% over current contract.

The Dell/Compellent SAN platforms at Civic Center and Orange PD are the primary storage solutions for all of the City’s servers. The support agreement includes software support as well as 24/7 hardware replacement, with a guaranteed four hour response time. Hardware replacements include vendor installation and configuration in the event of a failure.

The current support agreement expires on January 31, 2022. The City has 30 days after expiration to renew without incurring a reinstatement fee. This proposed agreement would extend support of the storage area network through January 31, 2023 at a cost increase of 11% over current contract. This increase is larger than previous years as the Civic Center SAN will be reaching end of life in March 2022 and Dell is extending support beyond their standard practice.

Agenda Item
City Council
Item #: 3.6. 1/11/2022 File #: 22-0007
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
THRU: Thomas R. Hatch, Interim City Manager
FROM: Gary A. Sheatz, City Attorney

1. SUBJECT
First Amendment to Attorney Services Agreement with The Sohagi Law Group to provide legal services related to a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) challenge to the approval of the Ronald McDonald House expansion.

2. SUMMARY
The City currently has an agreement with The Sohagi Law Group, to provide legal services related to CEQA challenge to the approval of the Ronald McDonald House expansion, for an amount not to exceed $30,000. This matter is actively litigated, and includes settlement negotiations and discussions between the City, Real Party in Interest, and several of the Petitioners, and the amount of the original agreement will soon be expended. The proposed First Amendment will increase the agreement amount by $50,000 for a total amount not to exceed $80,000.

3. RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Approve a First Amendment to Attorney Services Agreement with The Sohagi Law Group in the amount of $50,000 and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute on behalf of the City.

2. Authorize the appropriation of $50,000 from the General Fund unreserved fund balance to expenditure account number 100.0301.51600.00000, General Fund - Legal Services.

4. FISCAL IMPACT
The total expenditure for this amendment is $50,000 and will be funded through General Fund (100).

5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 2: Be a fiscally healthy community
a. Expend fiscal resources responsibly.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
While the City Attorney’sOffice handles most litigation matters in-house, the City does contract with outside counsel when the complexity of a case or a significant burden to staff time requires additional staffing expertise. The litigation in this case involves allegations under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and as is common with CEQA litigation, requires the time consuming compilation of an extensive administrative record, a lengthy briefing schedule, and preparation for trial scheduled under a compressed timeline. The CEQA litigation process involves technical issues and complex remedies which are time consuming and would over-burden in-house legal staff.

The City has retained the law firm of The Sohagi Law Group to provide legal services with respect to litigation defense in the matter of Acken, et al., v. City of Orange. The Sohagi Law Group provides services to public entities exclusively, specializing in CEQA litigation.

The First Amendment of the agreement, to increase the not to exceed amount to $80,000, is necessary to carry out further defense of the City in this case. Pursuant to the conditions of approval under the entitlements issued in the Ronald McDonald House expansion, the City will seek reimbursement of legal fees from Real Party in Interest related to the defense of the CEQA litigation.

Goal 4: Provide outstanding public service
b: Provide facilities and services to meet customer expectations.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
Fire Station No. 5 was built in 1968, along with other similar Fire Stations. Minimal improvements have been done to the locker room at this station since its construction. Due to aging infrastructure and partial plumbing failure, restrooms and showers have been impacted. It has been a challenge for Fire staff at this station due to the limited restroom capacity. This project will restore full functionality and accommodate for three gender-neutral restroom and shower stalls.

Construction is scheduled to begin in March 2022 and is expected to be completed in six weeks.

The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA guidelines Section 15301 “Existing Facilities” Class 1(c). The Notice of exemption will City of Orange Printed on 1/5/2022Page 1 of 2

Goal 4: Provide outstanding public service
b: Provide facilities and services to meet customer expectations.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
The City prepared the Sewer Collection System Master Plan update in 2012 as a planning tool to mitigate potential cumulative impacts to the sewer collection system from the City’s2010 General Plan. The Sewer Master Plan identifies projects that replace the aging sewer infrastructure, pipes that are structurally deficient, and pipeline capacity enhancements. In addition to the Sewer Master Plan, the Public Works Engineering Division coordinates with the Public Works Field Services Division to ensure that field observations of the sewer hotspots and localized failures are identified and addressed as part of the Capital Improvement Program. The identified locations usually require a higher than normal level of maintenance for several reasons but generally due to offset joints, tree City of Orange Printed on 1/5/2022Page 1 of 2

98 Item #: 3.10. 1/11/2022 File #: 21-0693
roots, broken sections, or being undersized.

Public Works has prepared plans and specifications to fix these problems by replacing approximately 5,000 linear feet of existing six-inch lines with eight-inch clay lines and approximately 1,000 linear feet of 15-inch lines with 18-inch clay lines. The scope of work would also include reconnecting all impacted service laterals.

The total estimated construction cost, including 15% for contingencies and construction engineering, is $2,270,500. Construction is scheduled to begin in June 2022 and is expected to be completed within 120 calendar days.

The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA guidelines Section 15301 “Existing Facilities” Class 1 (b). The Notice of Exemption will be filed with the County Recorder’sOffice upon Council’sapproval of the plans and specifications.

1. CT&T Concrete Paving, Inc. $775,280.00

2. CJ Concrete Construction, Inc.. $793,717.50
The low bid is about 20% higher than the Engineer’sEstimate of $645,140 for the project. This is likely due to increases in labor costs and prices of materials. Staff checked the references and qualifications for CT&T Concrete Paving, Inc. and found them to be acceptable, with adequate years of experience in completing contracts of a similar nature to this project. Therefore, staff recommends that CT&T Concrete Paving, Inc. be awarded the contract in the amount of $852,808, representing an original amount of $775,280 plus a 10% contingency of $77,528, for Annual Concrete Replacement Project Fiscal Year 2021-2022.

The proposed project is also categorically excluded from the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) under 24 CFR Section 58.35. Documentation of this determination is on file.

This project will replace all the needed concrete improvements such as sidewalks, ADA ramps, curbs and gutters, in preparation for the annual street pavement rehabilitation work to follow. Construction is scheduled to begin in February 2022 and is expected to be completed within 90 calendar days.

The regulations of the Director of Industrial Relations, which govern proceedings for review of civil wage and penalty assessments and the withholding of contract payments under Article 1 (commencing with Section 1720) and Article 2 (commencing with Section 1770), shall apply. (j)(1) Where a contractor or subcontractor engages in the performance of any public work contract without having been registered in violation of the requirements of Section 1725.5 or this section, the Labor Commissioner shall issue and serve a stop order prohibiting the use of the unregistered contractor or the unregistered subcontractor on all public works until the unregistered contractor or unregistered subcontractor is registered.

Section 1777.5. Employment of registered apprentices; wages; standards; number; apprenticeable craft or trade; exemptions; contributions; compliance program

(a)(1) This chapter does not prevent the employment upon public works of properly registered apprentices who are active participants in an approved apprenticeship program. (2) For purposes of this chapter, “apprenticeship program” means a program under the jurisdiction of the California Apprenticeship Council established pursuant to Section 3070. (b)(1) Every apprentice employed upon public works shall be paid the prevailing rate of per diem wages for apprentices in the trade to which he or she is registered and shall be employed only at the work of the craft or trade to which he or she is registered.
(2) Unless otherwise provided by a collective bargaining agreement, when a contractor requests the dispatch of an apprentice pursuant to this section to perform work on a public works project and requires the apprentice to fill out an application or undergo testing, training, an examin ation, or other preemployment process as a condition of employment, the apprentice shall be paid for the time spent on the required preemployment activity, including travel time to and from the required activity, if any, at the prevailing rate of per diem wages for apprentices in the trade to which he or she is registered. Unless otherwise provided by a collective bargaining agreement, a contractor is not required to compensate an apprentice for the time spent on preemployment activities if the apprentice is required to take a preemployment drug or alcohol test and he or she fails to pass that test.
(c) Only apprentices, as defined in Section 3077, who are in training under apprenticeship standards that have been approved by the Chief of the Division of Apprentice ship Standards and who are parties to written 135

Attachment No. 1

Page 10 of 13 ends

apprentice agreements under Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 3070) of Division 3 are eligible to be employed at the apprentice wage rate on public works. The employment and training of each apprentice shall be in accordance with either of the following:
(1) The apprenticeship standards and apprentice agreements under which he or she is training. (2) The rules and regulations of the California Apprenticeship Council. (d) If the contractor to whom the contract is awar ded by the state or any political subdivision, in performing any of the work under the contract, employs workers in any apprenticeable craft or trade, the contractor shall employ apprentices in at least the ratio set forth in this section and may apply to any apprenticeship program in the craft or trade that can provide apprentices to the site of the public work for a certificate approving the contractor under the apprenticeship standards for the employment and training of apprentices in the area or industry affected. However, the decision of the apprenticeship program to approve or deny a certificate shall be subject to review by the Administrator of Apprenticeship. The apprenticeship program or programs, upon approving the contractor, shall arrange for the dispatch of apprentices to the contractor. A contractor covered by an apprenticeship program's standards shall not be required to submit any additional application in order to include additional public works contracts under that program. “Apprenticeable craft or trade,” as used in this section, means a craft or trade determined as an apprenticeable occupation in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the California Apprenticeship Council. As used in this section, “contractor” includes any subcontractor under a contractor who performs any public works not excluded by subdivision (o).
(e) Before commencing work on a contract for public works, every contractor shall submit contract award information to an applicable apprenticeship program that can supply apprentices to the site of the public work.

The information submitted shall include an estimate of journeyman hours to be performed under the contract, the number of apprentices proposed to be employed, and the approximate dates the apprentic es would be employed. A copy of this information shall also be submitted to the awarding body, if requested by the awarding body. Within 60 days after concluding work on the contract, each contractor and subcontractor shall submit to the awarding body, if requested, and to the apprenticeship program a verified statement of the journeyman and apprentice hours performed on the contract. The information under this subdivision shall be public. The apprenticeship programs shall retain this information for 12 months. (f) The apprenticeship program supplying apprentices to the area of the site of the public work shall ensure equal employment and affirmative action in apprenticeship for women and minorities. (g) The ratio of work performed by apprentices to jour neymen employed in a particular craft or trade on the public work may be no higher than the ratio stipulated in the apprenticeship standards under which the apprenticeship program operates if the contractor agrees to be bound by those standards. However, except as otherwise provided in this section, in no case shall the ratio be less than one hour of apprentice work for every five hours of journeyman work.
(h) This ratio of apprentice work to journeyman work shall apply during any day or portion of a day w hen any journeyman is employed at the jobsite and shall be computed on the basis of the hours worked during the day by journeymen so employed. Any work performed by a journeyman in excess of eight hours per day or 40 hours per week shall not be used to ca lculate the ratio. The contractor shall employ apprentices for the number of hours computed as above before the end of the contract or, in the case of a subcontractor, before the end of the subcontract. However, the contractor shall endeavor, to the greatest extent possible, to employ apprentices during the same time period that the journeymen in the same craft or trade are employed at the jobsite. When an hourly apprenticeship ratio is not feasible for a particular craft or trade, the Administrator 136

Attachment No. 1

Page 11 of 13 ends

of Apprenticeship, upon application of an apprenticeship program, may order a minimum ratio of not less than one apprentice for each five journeymen in a craft or trade classification. (i) A contractor covered by this section who has agreed to be covered by an apprenticeship program's standards upon the issuance of the approval certificate, or who has been previously approved for an apprenticeship program in the craft or trade, shall employ the number of apprentices or the ratio of apprentices to journeymen stipulated in the applicable apprenticeship standards, but in no event less than the 1 -to-5 ratio required by subdivision (g).
(j) Upon proper showing by a contractor that he or she employs apprentices in a particular craft or trade in the state on all of his or her contracts on an annual average of not less than one hour of apprentice work for every five hours of labor performed by journeymen, the Administrator of Apprenticeship may grant a certificate exempting the contractor from the 1-to-5 hourly ratio, as set forth in this section for that craft or trade. (k) An apprenticeship program has the discretion to grant to a participating contractor or contractor association a certificate, which shall be subject to the approval of the Administrator of Apprenticeship, exempting the contractor from the 1-to-5 ratio set forth in this section when it finds that any one of the following conditions is met:
(1) Unemployment for the previous three-month period in the area exceeds an average of 15 percent. (2) The number of apprentices in training in the area exceeds a ratio of 1 to 5. (3) There is a showing that the apprenticeable craft or trade is replacing at least one-thirtieth of its journeymen annually through apprenticeship training, either on a statewide basis or on a local basis. (4) Assignment of an apprentice to any work performed under a public works contract would create a condition that would jeopardize his or her life or the life, safety, or property of fellow employees or the public at large, or th e specific task to which the apprentice is to be assigned is of a nature that training cannot be provided by a journeyman.
(l) If an exemption is granted pursuant to subdivision (k) to an organization that represents contractors in a specific trade from the 1-to-5 ratio on a local or statewide basis, the member contractors shall not be required to submit individual applications for approval to local joint apprenticeship committees, if they are already covered by the local apprenticeship standards.
(m)(1) A contractor to whom a contract is awarded, who, in performing any of the work under the contract, employs journeymen or apprentices in any apprenticeable craft or trade shall contribute to the California Apprenticeship Council the same amount that the dir ector determines is the prevailing amount of apprenticeship training contributions in the area of the public works site. A contractor may take as a credit for payments to the council any amounts paid by the contractor to an approved apprenticeship program that can supply apprentices to the site of the public works project. The contractor may add the amount of the contributions in computing his or her bid for the contract. (2)(A) At the conclusion of the 2002 -03 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the California Apprenticeship Council shall distribute training contributions received by the council under this subdivision, less the expenses of the Department of Industrial Relations for administering this subdivision, by making grants to approved apprenticeship programs for the purpose of training apprentices. The grant funds shall be distributed as follows:

Page 12 of 13 ends

(i) If there is an approved multiemployer apprenticeship program serving the same craft or trade and geographic area for which the training contr ibutions were made to the council, a grant to that program shall be made.
(ii) If there are two or more approved multiemployer apprenticeship programs serving the same craft or trade and county for which the training contributions were made to the council, the grant shall be divided among those programs based on the number of apprentices from that county registered in each program. (iii) All training contributions not distributed under clauses (i) and (ii) shall be used to defray the future expenses of the Department of Industrial Relations for the administration and enforcement of apprenticeship and preapprenticeship standards and requirements under this code. (B) An apprenticeship program shall only be eligible to receive grant funds pursuant to this subdivision if the apprenticeship program agrees, prior to the receipt of any grant funds, to keep adequate records that document the expenditure of grant funds and to make all records available to the Department of Industrial Relations so that the Department o f Industrial Relations is able to verify that grant funds were used s olely for training apprentices. For purposes of this subparagraph, adequate records include, but are not limited to, invoices, receipts, and canceled checks that account for the expenditure of grant funds. This subparagraph shall not be deemed to require an apprenticeship program to provide the Department of Industrial Relations with more documentation than is necessary to verify the appropriate expenditure of grant funds made pursuant t o this subdivision.
(C) The Department of Industrial Relations shall verify that grants made pursuant to this subdivision are used solely to fund training apprentices. If an apprenticeship program is unable to demonstrate how grant funds are expended or if an apprenticeship program is found to be using grant funds for purposes other than training apprentices, then the apprenticeship program shall not be eligible to receive any future grant pursuant to this subdivision and the Department of Industrial Relat ions may initiate the process to rescind the registration of the apprenticeship program.
(3) All training contributions received pursuant to this subdivision shall be deposited in the Apprenticeship Training Contribution Fund, which is hereby created in th e State Treasury. Upon appropriation by the Legislature, all moneys in the Apprenticeship Training Contribution Fund shall be used for the purpose of carrying out this subdivision and to pay the expenses of the Department of Industrial Relations. (n) The body awarding the contract shall cause to be inserted in the contract stipulations to effectuate this section. The stipulations shall fix the responsibility of compliance with this section for all apprenticeable occupations with the prime contractor.
(o) This section does not apply to contracts of general contractors or to contracts of specialty contractors not bidding for work through a general or prime contractor when the contracts of general contractors or those specialty contractors involve less than thirty thousand dollars ($30,000). (p) An awarding body that implements an approved labor compliance program in accordance with subdivision (b) of Section 1771.5 may, with the approval of the director, assist in the enforcement of this s ection under the terms and conditions prescribed by the director.

Section 1813. Forfeiture for violations; contract stipulation; report of violations

(4) Amounts not paid in a timely manner as required by this section shall bear interest at 7 percent per annum. (5) If a subcontractor or a lower tier subcontractor lacks legal standing to assert a claim against a public entity because privity of contract does not exist, the contractor may present to the public entity a claim on behalf of a subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor. A subcontractor may request in writing, either on their own behalf or on behalf of a lower tier subcontractor, tha t the contractor present a claim for work which was performed by the subcontractor or by a lower tier subcontractor on behalf of the subcontractor.

(e) The text of this section or a summary of it shall be set forth in the plans or specifications for any public works project that may give rise to a claim under this section. (f) A waiver of the rights granted by this section is void and contrary to public policy, provided, however, that (1) upon receipt of a claim, the parties may mutually agree to waive, in writing, mediation and proceed directly to the commenc ement of a civil action or binding arbitration, as applicable; and (2) a public entity may prescribe reasonable change order, claim, and dispute resolution procedures and requirements in addition to the provisions of this section, so long as the contractua l provisions do not conflict with or otherwise impair the timeframes and procedures set forth in this section. (g) This section applies to contracts entered into on or after January 1, 2017. (h) Nothing in this section shall impose liability upon a public entity that makes loans or grants available through a competitive application process, for the failure of an awardee to meet its contractual obligations. (i) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2027, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2027, deletes or extends that date. 142

ORDINANCE NO. 17-21

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ORANGE AMENDING TITLE 17 OF THE

ORANGE MUNICIPAL CODE (ZONING) TO UPDATE

NOTICING AND POSTING REQUIREMENTS
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Orange, pursuant to its police powers afforded under the California Constitution, Article XI and California Government Code Section 37100, et seq., may adopt regulations to protect the health, safety and welfare of the community, including establishing parking standards for various uses; and
WHEREAS, the current noticing and posting requirements for residential and commercial land use entitlement applications in the City, are contained in Orange Municipal Code (OMC) Chapter 17.08; and
WHEREAS, in furtherance of better informing residents and property owners about pending applications at nearby properties, City staff has recommended revising the noticing procedures for land use applications; and
WHEREAS, this Ordinance has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the CEQA Guidelines, and the City’s environmental procedures, and has been found to be exempt, consistent with the findings in Section II of this Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, having considered the proposed changes to Title 17 of the OMC contained herein at a public hearing held on July 19, 2021, and receiving public testimony on the item, has determined that the proposed Ordinance is justified and recommends approval thereof; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, having conducted a public hearing on September 14, 2021, and receiving public testimony on the item, has determined that the proposed Ordinance is justified and approves thereof; and
WHEREAS, the City Council does therefore determine that this Ordinance will serve and preserve the public health, safety and welfare of the City.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ORANGE DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION I:

The recitals stated above are true and correct, incorporated herein, and form the basis for the adoption of this Ordinance.
160
2 SECTION II:
(1) The proposed Ordinance is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3), because the Ordinance simply provides procedural noticing and posting requirements.

The proposed Ordinance does not cause changes to the residential density established in the General Plan. It does not involve a specific site or development project, and does not otherwise result in a physical change that could cause an impact to the environment.

Adoption of the Ordinance is therefore not a "project" as defined in CEQA Guideline 15378.
(2) The proposed Ordinance is exempt from CEQA per CEQA Guideline 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty, after review and evaluation of the facts regarding the Ordinance and its application, that there is substantial evidence that adoption of the Ordinance would not have a significant effect on the environment and the common sense exemption applies.
(3) In the unlikely event adoption of the Ordinance would constitute a project under CEQA, it is categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA per CEQA Guideline 15321(a) (Class 21, Enforcement Actions by Regulatory Agencies) because said adoption is an action taken by the City as a regulatory agency and involves “enforcement of a law, general rule, standard, or objective, administered or adopted by the regulatory agency.” SECTION III:

Table 17.08.020 of the Orange Municipal Code, “Zoning – General Administrative Procedures – Reviewing Bodies,” is hereby amended to read as follows:

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ORANGE AMENDING TITLE 17 OF THE

ORANGE MUNICIPAL CODE (ZONING) TO

UPDATE AND ESTABLISH NEW DEVELOPMENT

STANDARDS FOR FENCES AND WALLS
SECTION I:

The action proposed herein is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Section 21065 and State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and 15378. The Ordinance involves general policy and procedure making that would not cause either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Furthermore, the action is exempt from CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Such is the case with the Ordinance. No new development is proposed and the regulations for fences and walls would not result in a significant impact on the environment. Furthermore, any development applications subject to these provisions will be reviewed for CEQA compliance under a separate entitlement. On a case-by-case review of each project, the appropriate environmental document will be prepared to address any project-specific impacts. Therefore, the Ordinance will not have a significant effect on the environment.

SECTION II:

Section 17.04.025 of the Orange Municipal Code, “Zoning - Definitions – ‘F’ Definitions,” is hereby amended to add the following definitions:

FENCE – A substantial solid barrier intended to enclose, separate or surround.

Landscaping that forms a substantial solid barrier within a front yard setback will be considered a fence.

FENCE, OPEN – A barrier intended to enclose, separate or surround which is constructed in such a way that no more than 20% of the surface area of the fence obstructs a view through the fence from a position perpendicular to the fence.

SECTION III:

Section 17.04.042 of the Orange Municipal Code, “Zoning - Definitions – ‘W’ Definitions,” is hereby amended to revise the following definition to read as follows:
170

SECTION IV:

Section 17.04.042 of the Orange Municipal Code, “Zoning - Definitions – ‘W’ Definitions,” is hereby amended to add the following definition:

performs various internal audits to provide assurance both financial, and operational, controls and efficiencies are in place and are being followed. Staff believes oversight of our financial position and reporting requirements is being properly maintained.

The independent auditor’stesting resulted in a “clean”audit opinion. This provides assurance the City’s financial transactions are accurately recorded and can be relied upon not only for proper reporting of past financial results in the City’s FY 2021 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), but also on a go-forward basis as we craft the FY 2023 Budget. This is of utmost importance given the results reflected in the ACFR include fixed assets and restricted fund balances that are not readily available to staff for appropriation as budgeted expenditures for operating costs or Capital Improvement Projects.

In their report for the Single Audit of Federally Assisted Grant Programs, the independent auditor noted a finding for the Housing program’slate submission of the Annual Progress Report (APR) to the Department of Housing and Community Development. “Aspart of our audit procedures, we noted that the APR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, was submitted to HCD on May 18, 2021.”Staff agrees with this finding and has implemented procedures to accumulate the required information and submit the report by the April 1 deadline, for the applicable year.

The following Reports, Letter and Statements are presented for fiscal year ended June 30, 2021:

1. Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) - This report is divided into three major sections: the Introductory Section, the Financial Section and the Statistical Section. The Introductory Section includes a Letter of Transmittal. The Financial Section comprises the Audit Opinion, Management’s Discussion and Analysis, and the Basic Financial Statements. The Statistical Section provides important historical and trend information about the City. The Audit opinion is an “unqualified opinion”, which states that, in the auditor’sopinion, the basic financial statements of the City are presented fairly in all material respects and are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

2. Audit Communication Letter - a report of recommendations made to management by the auditors to improve internal controls and/or operating efficiencies within the City.

5 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The purpose of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis is to interpret and summarize the financial changes in the City of Orange Financ ial Statements for Fiscal Year 2020-21. This analysis will focus on the significant changes in an effort to explain the City’s overall financial condition. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with the additional information furnished in our Letter of Transmittal, Notes to the Financial Statements, and the Statistical Section.

OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s Basic Financial Statements, which are comprised of three components: (1) Government-wide Financial Statements; (2) Fund Financial S tatements; and (3) Notes to the Financial Statements. In addition to the Basic Financial Statements and required information, this report also contains other supplementary information.

Government-wide Financial Statements. The Government-wide Financial Statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City’s financial position, in a manner similar to that of a private-sector business. These statements are reported on the full accrual basis of accounting. Thus, revenues and expens es are reported for some items that will not affect cash flows until future fiscal periods.

The Government-wide Financial Statements separate Governmental Activities that are principally supported by taxes and revenues from other agencies, from Business-type Activities that are intended to recover all, or a significant portion, of their costs through user fees and charges. The Governmental Activit ies of the City include General Government, Public Safety, Public Works, Community De velopment, Parks and Library, Economic Development, and Interest on Long-Term Debt, when applicable . The City’s two Business- type Activities are Water and Sanitation.

The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City’s assets and deferred outflows of resources, and liabilities and deferred inflows of resources; the difference between the four is reported as net position. Total assets include all capital items including infrastructure. Evaluating increases or decreases in net position over time will serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or declining.

The Statement of Activities presents information on the net cost of each governmental function (activity) during the fiscal year. This statement also identifies the amount of general revenues needed to fully fund each governmental function.

Fund Financial Statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregate d for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided into three categories: Governmental Funds, Proprietary Funds, and Fiduciary Funds. 5 209

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Orange, California

We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Orange, California (the City) for the year ended June 30, 2021. Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards and the Uniform Guidance, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing o f our audit. We have communicated such information in our letter to you dated April 28, 2021. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.

Significant Audit Findings and Other Issues

Qualitative Aspects of Significant Accounting Practices

Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by the City are described in the notes to the financial statements. As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the City changed accounting policies related to accounting for fiduciary activities by adopting Statement of Governmental Accounting Standards (GASB Statement) No. 84, Fiduciary Activities, in fiscal year 2020-21. Accordingly, the cumulative effect of the accounting change as of the beginning of the year is reported in the Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Position. We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.

Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the City’s financial statements were:

Management’s estimates of its net pension liability, total other post -employment benefits liability, and self-insurance liability are based on actuarial valuation specialist assumptions.

We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the net pension liability, total other postemployment benefits liability, and self -insurance liability to determine that they are reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users. The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Orange, California

Significant Unusual Transactions

Management is responsible for the policies and practices used to account for significant unusual transactions. No significant unusual transactions have occurred during fiscal year 2020-21.

Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit

We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.

Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements

Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management.

Management has corrected all such misstatements. In addition, none of the misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Disagreements with Management

For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.

Circumstances that Affect the Form and Content of the Auditor’s Report

New auditing standards were implemented in fiscal year 2020 -2021 related to Statement of Auditing Standards 134, Auditor Reporting and Amendments, Including Amendments Addressing Disclosures in the Audit of Financial Statements , through Statement of Auditing Standards 140, Supplementary Information in Relation to the Financial Statements as a Whole . These standards updated the form and content of the financial statement auditor’s report. The purpose of the change was to present an easier format for users to understand the results of the audit and management’s responsibilities.

Management Representations

We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated December 13, 2021.

Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants

In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the City’s financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor’s opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.

Other Audit Findings or Issues Discussed with Management

We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the significant events or transactions that occurred during the year, business conditions affecting the City and business plans and strategies that may affect the risks of material misstatements, the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the City’s auditors. However, these discussions oc curred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention. 380

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Orange, California

Other Matters

We applied certain limited procedures to management’s discussion and analysis; the budgetary comparison schedules for the General Fund and Proposition 172, Federal, State and Local Grants, Housing Successor, and Measure M special revenue funds; the required pension -related schedules; and the requ ired other post-employment benefits-related schedules, as listed in the table of contents of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, which are required supplementary information (RSI) that supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.

We were engaged to report on the combining and individual fund statements and schedules , which accompany the financial statemen ts but are not RSI. With respect to this supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Orange, California

5. We read the City Treasurer’s Report for the month of June 30, 2021, to ascertain that it contains all the information required by California Government Code Section 53646 as follows:

a. Included the type of investment, issuer, date of maturity, par and dollar amount invested on all securities, investments and monies held by the City.

b. Included those funds under management of contracted parties (fiscal agents, trustee, deferred compensation, plan administrators, etc.).

11. We inspected the Staff Report submitting the City Treasurer’s Report for the month of June 30, 2021, to the City Council, to ascertain that it meets the timing requirements of California Government Code Section 53646.

Finding: The Treasurer’s Report was submitted to the City Council on August 10, 2021, which is within the 45 days set forth by the City’s Investment Policy. The California Government Code requires submittal within 30 days of quarter end; although the Treasurer’s Report was completed within this 30 -day deadline on July 20, 2021, it was not submitted to the City Council within the 30-day deadline.

Management’s Response:

Because the City Council only meets once per month, the thirty -day deadline does not allow the Investment Advisory Committee time to review the Treasurer’s Report before the item is presented on the agenda. In the future, the Council will receive the Treasurer’s Report within the thirty -day deadline. The item will then be reviewed by the Investment Advisory Committee and presented for f ormal acceptance at the next occurring City Council meeting.

We were engaged by the City to perform this agreed -upon procedures engagement and conducted our engagement in accordance with attestation standards established by the AICPA. We were not engaged to and did not conduct an examination or review engagement, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion or conclusion, respectively, on evaluating the Treasurer’s Report for the month ended June 30, 2021, for compliance with the provisions of the Code) and with the Policy. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion or conclusion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you.

We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements related to our agreed-upon procedures engagement.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Orange, California
Report on the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the go vernmental activities and the Air Pollution Reduction Fund (“the Fund”), a special revenue fu nd of the City of Orange, California, (the “City”) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and the related n otes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Fund’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above pres ent fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities and the Fund of the City as of June 30, 2021, and the respective changes in financial position for the year t hen ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards ge nerally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to f inancial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards , issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only t he Fund and do not purport to, and do not present fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2021, and the changes in its financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principle s generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presenta tion of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control rel evant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial dou bt about the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the date of the financial statements.

Brea, CA 92821 Lance, Soll & Lunghard, LLP Phone: 714.672.0022 392

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Orange, California

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with G AAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the over ride of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if, there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:

x Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skept icism throughout the audit. x Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
x Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the au dit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over the Fund. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. x Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and t he reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate th e overall presentation of the financial statements.
x Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or eve nts, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Other Reporting Responsibilities

Required Supplementary Information

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States o f America require that the budgetary comparison schedule be presented to supplement the basic financ ial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the ba sic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplem entary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of A merica, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financi al statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Management has omitted the management’s discussion and analysis and required pension and other post- employment benefits schedules that accounting principles genera lly accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financi al statements. Such missing information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial re porting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. Our opinion on the basic financial statements is not affected by this missing information. 2 393

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Orange, California

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards , we have also issued our report dated December 13, 2021 on our consideration of the City ’s internal control over the Fu nd’s financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of l aws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is sol ely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and th e results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over the Fund’s financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit p erformed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over the Fund’s financial reporting and compliance.

AIR POLLUTION REDUCTION FUND

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2021

Note 1: General

The financial statements are intended to reflect the financial position and changes in the financial position attributable to the Air Pollution Reduction Special Revenue Fund (AQMD) of the City of Orange, California (the City). These financial stat ements are exclusively for AQMD and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position and changes in the financial position for the City.

Assembly Bill 2766 authorizes the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) to impose an annual vehicle registration fee and to distribute a p ortion of the collected revenues to all local jurisdictions within the South Coast Air Basin. These revenues are to be used solely to reduce air pollution from motor vehicles by implementing new programs and studies necessary for the implementation of the California Clean Air Act.

Note 2: Summary of Signif icant Accounting Policies

a. Description of the Reporting Entity

The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, e ach of which is considered a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accou nts. Monies received under Assembly Bill 2766 are recorded in a Special Revenue Fund, the Air Pollution Reduction Fund, which is used to account for the proceeds of revenue to b e used for the purpose of implementing the California Clean Air Act.

b. Basis of Presentation

The Air Pollution Reduction Fund’s financial statements are pre pared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States o f America. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the acknowledged standard setting body for establishing accounting and financial reporting standards followed by governmental entities in the United States of America.

The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement o f net position and the statement of activities) report information on all of the nonfi duciary activities of the fund.

The AQMD has no fiduciary activities.

The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segments are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment.

Program revenues include (1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services or privileges provided by a given function or segment, and (2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and oth er items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.

CITY OF ORANGE

AIR POLLUTION REDUCTION FUND

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2021

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

The underlying accounting system of the City is organized and o perated on the basis of separate funds, each of which is considered to be a separate ac counting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set o f self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or expenses, as app ropriate. Governmental resource s are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled.

While separate government-wide and fund financial statements ar e presented, they are interrelated.

c. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Stateme nt Presentation

The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting . Under the economic resources measurement focus, all (both current and long term) economic resources and obliga tions are included in the accompanying statement of net position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded wh en a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requiremen ts imposed by the provider have been met.

Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus a n d t h e modified accrual basis of accounting . Under the current financial resources measurement focus, only current assets and liabilities are generally included on the balance sheet. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and availabl e. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues relating to grants to be available if they are collect ed within 120 days of the end of the current fiscal period and within 60 days for all other revenues. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting.

Intergovernmental and interest revenues associated with the cur rent fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and have been recognize d as revenues of the current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered t o be measurable and available only when cash is received by the AQMD.

d. Cash and Investments

Investments are reported in the accompanying financial statemen ts at fair value, which is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date . Changes in fair value that occur during a fiscal year are recognized as interest income for that fiscal year. Interest income includes interest earnings, changes in fair value (reali zed/unrealized), gains or losses realized upon the liquidation, maturity or sale of investments and rental income.

Cash and investments are pooled with other City funds for inves tment purposes, with interest being allocated monthly to various funds based on each fund’s prior month -end cash and investment balance.

e. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources

In addition to assets, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period and will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (e xpense/expenditure) until that time. The AQMD has items related to the pension and OPEB p lans that qualify for reporting in this category.

In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financ ial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, r epresents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period and will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time.

The AQMD has items related to the pension and OPEB plans that q ualify for reporting in this category.

f. Net Position Flow Assumption

Sometimes the AQMD will fund outlays for a particular purpose f rom both restricted (e.g., restricted bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted reso urces. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restric ted net position and unrestrict ed net position in the government-wide financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the AQMD’s policy to consider restricted net position to have been depleted before unrestricted net position is applied.

g. Fund Balance Flow Assumptions

Sometimes the AQMD will fund outlays for a particular purpose f rom both restricted and unrestricted resources (the total of committed, assigned and unassigned fund balance). In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned fund balance in the governmental fund financial statements, a f low assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the AQMD’s policy to consider restricted fun d balance to have been deplete d before using any of the components of unrestricted fund balance. Further, when the comp onents of unrestricted fund balance can be used for the same purpose, committed fund balance is depleted first, followed by assigned fund balance. Unassigned fund balance is applied last.

h. Fund Equity

In the fund financial statements, government funds report the f ollowing fund balance classification:

Nonspendable includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to be m aintained intact. The Air Pollution Reduction Fund did not have a nonspendable fund b alance as of June 30, 2021.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Restricted includes amounts that are constrained on the use of resources by either (a) external creditors, grantors, contributors or laws of regulations of other governments or (b) by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

Committed includes amounts that can only be used for specific p urposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the government’s highes t authority, the City Council. The formal action that is required to be taken to establish, modify or rescind a fund balance commitment is a resolution. The AQMD did not hav e any committed fund balance as of June 30, 2021.

Assigned includes amounts that are constrained by the government’s intent to be used for specific purposes but are neither restricted nor committed. The AQMD did not have any assigned fund balance as of June 30, 2021.

Unassigned includes the residual amounts that have not been res tricted, committed or assigned to specific purposes. The AQMD did not have any unassi gned fund balance as of June 30, 2021.

i. Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the reporting date. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 3: Cash and Investments

a. Equity in the Cash and Investment Pool of the City of Orange

The AQMD has no separate bank accounts or investments other than its equity in the cash and investment pool managed by the City. The AQMD is a voluntar y participant in that pool. This pool is governed by and under the regulatory oversight of the Investment Policy adopted by the City Council of the City. The AQMD has not adopt ed an investment policy separate from that of the City. The fair value of the AQMD’s in vestment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at amounts ba sed upon t he AQMD’s pro rata share of the fair value calculated by the City for the entire City portfolio. The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting rec ords maintained by the City, which are recorded at the estimated fair value.

b. Disclosures Relating to the Investment Policy, Interest Rate Risk, Credit Risk and Custodial Credit Risk.

Additional disclosures related to the investment policy, intere st rate risk, credit risk and custodial credit risk are available in the City of Orange’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report.

c. Fair Value Measurements

The AQMD categorizes its fair value measurement within the fair v a l u e h i e r a r c h y established by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The hierarchy is based on the relative inputs used to measure t he fair value of the investments. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The AQMD’s investment in the City investment pool is not subjec t to the fair value hierarchy.

Note 4: Retirement Plan

a. Plan Description, Benefits Provided and Employees Covered

The City contributes to the California Public Employees’ Retire ment System (CalPERS), an agent multiple-employer public employee defined benefit pens ion plan (the Plan).

CalPERS provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments and death benefits to plan members and their beneficiaries. CalPERS a c t s a s a c o m m o n investment and administrative agent for participating public en tities within the State of California. Benefit provision and all other requirements are established by state statute and memoranda of understanding with employee bargaining units. A fu ll description of the pension plan regarding the number of employees covered, benefit provisions, assumptions (for funding, but no accounting purposes) and membership inform ation is listed in the CalPERS June 30, 2019. Valuation Report. Details on the benefit s provided can be obtained in Appendix B of the Actuarial Valuation Report. This report and CalPERS’s audited financial statements are publicly available reports tha t can be obtained at the CalPERS’s website under Employers. Also, for accounting purpose s , t h e G A S B 6 8 Accounting Valuation Report is available for the City of Orange Miscellaneous Plan as of the measurement date June 30, 2020. This report is available from the City.

The plan provides benefits for two membership classifications, Miscellaneous and Safety, and those benefits are tiered based upon the date of CalPERS me mbership. Safety membership is extended to those in active law enforcement and fire suppression, while all others are classified as Miscellaneous members. Assembly Bill ( AB) 340, also known as the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA), created new b enefit formulas and a final compensation period, as well as new contribution requirem ents for new employees.

For the purpose of PEPRA, “new employees” are those hired on or after January 1, 2013 and had never been a member of CalPERS previously. CalPERS refe rs to members prior to January 1, 2013 as classic members.

City employees involved with the AQMD program are covered under t h e C i t y ’ s Miscellaneous Plan. As such, related pension balances and activities have been allocated proportionately to the AQMD in relation to salaries paid. Addit ional details related to the pension plans deferred outflows , deferred inflows, net pension liability, and required supplementary information can be found in the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the year ended June 30, 2021.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL

OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS

BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE

WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Orange, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards gene rally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contai ned in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities and the Air Pollution Reduction Fund (the “Fund”), a special re venue fund of the City of Orange, California (the “City”), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and the related n otes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Fund’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 13, 2021.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statement s, we considered the City’s internal control over the Fund’s financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effecti veness of the City’s internal control.

Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility t hat a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corre cted on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpo se described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in in ternal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitation s, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Fund’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance wit h applicable provisions of Assembly Bill 2766, Chapter 1705 (Health and Safety Code Sections 44220 through 44247) and certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, an d grant agreements, noncomplian ce with which could have a direct and material effect on the Fund’s financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed n o instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Orange, California

We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Orange, California, (the “City”) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 13, 2021.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our a udit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the fi nancial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility th at a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with govern ance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not iden tify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Housing S uccessor’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed the following instance of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards: 2021-001. This matter is described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.

City’s Response to Findings

The City’s response to the findings identified in our audit was not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.

Purpose of this Report

The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control or on co mpliance.

SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS

Late Submission of Annual Progress Report

Reference Number: 2021-001

Evaluation of Finding:

Noncompliance

Criteria:

Senate Bill 341 (SB 341) requires all successor housing entities to comply with annual report requirements.

One requirement is for the City to report housing financial and activity information by including specified information wit h the Annual Progress Report (APR) required to be annually submitted to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) by April 1 of the subsequent year pursuant to the State of California housing law in reporting progress in implementing the housing element.

Condition:

As part of our audit procedures, we noted that the APR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 was submitted to HCD on May 18, 2021.

Cause of Condition:

The City’s ability to submit the APR timely, was due to the City’ efforts to pass an additional dwelling unit ordinance during the first quarter of the year, and the considerable amount of staff time required in those efforts. There were also staffing shortages in the City’s Community Development Department.

Effect or Potential Effect of Condition:

The effect is unknown.

Recommendation:

The City should implement policies and procedures to ensure timely reporting of the APR to HCD by April first of the subsequent year.

Management’s Response and Corrective Action:

The City has assigned a specific staff member to this report, with the deadline scheduled for the responsible department. Based on available staff resources, the filing will remain an action item and the intent is to submit it by the deadline.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Orange, California

Report on the Financial Statements

Opinions

We have audited the accompanying financial statement s of the governmental activities and the City of Orange Housing Successor Special Revenue Fund (the Housing Successor), a major fund of the City of Orange, California (the City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial sta tements, which collectively comprise the Housing Successor’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities and the Hous ing Successor Special Revenue Fund of the City as of June 30, 2021, and the re spective changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards , issued by the Comptroller General of the U nited States. Our responsibilities under t hose standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the financial statements present only the Housing Successor and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City as a whole, as of June 30, 2021, and the changes in its financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal c ontrol relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are condition s or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the date of the financial statements.

203 N. Brea Blvd., Suite 203
Brea, CA 92821 Lance, Soll & Lunghard, LLP Phone: 714.672.0022 416

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Orange, California

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a materia l misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if, there is a su bstantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:

• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of signifi cant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Other Reporting Responsibilities

Required Supplementary Information

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the budgetary comparison schedule as listed in the table of contents be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and , although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the requ ired supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements.

We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. 417

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Orange, California

Management has omitted the management’s discussion and analysis, schedule of proportionate share of net pension liability, schedule of plan contributions, and the schedule of changes in total OPEB liability and related ratios that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such missing information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential p art of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. Our opinion on the basic financial statements is not affected by this missing information.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards , we have also issued our report dated December 13, 2021, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters.

The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s int ernal control over financial reporting and compliance.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON COMPLIANCE ON COMPLIANCE WITH

APPLICABLE REQUIREMENT AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Orange, California

Report on Compliance for Housing Successor

Opinion

We have audited the City of Orange Housing Successor (the Housing Successor) of the City of Orange, California’s (the City), compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the California Health and Safety Code section applicable to California Housing Successor Agencies for the year ended June 30, 2021.

In our opinion, the Housing Successor complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on its Housing Successor for the year ended June 30, 2021.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards g enerally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit requirements of California Health and Safety Code sections applicable to California Housing Successor Agencies. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.

We are required to be independent of the Housing Successor and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the Housing Successor’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.

Responsibilities of Management for Compliance

Management is responsible for compliance with the requirement s referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts applicable to the Housing Successor programs.

Brea, CA 92821 Lance, Soll & Lunghard, LLP Phone: 714.672.0022 419

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Orange, California

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the Housing Successor’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the California Health and Safety Code sections applicable to California Housing Successor Agencies will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influ ence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the Housing Successor’s compliance with the requirements of the government program as a whole.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and California Health and Safety Code sections applicable to California Housing Successor Agencies , we:

• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

• Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the Housing Successor’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

• Obtain an understanding of the Housing Successor’s internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circu mstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with California Health and Safety Code sections applicable to California Housing Successor Agencies , but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Housing Successor’s internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.

Report on Internal Control over Compliance

A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Orange, California

Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be a material weakness, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that have not been identified.

Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

Report on Excess/Surplus Calculation

We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City, as of and for the year ended December 13, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. We issued our report thereon dated December 13 , 2021, which contained unmodified opinions on those financial statements. Our audit was c onducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the basic financial statements. The accompanying report on excess/surplus calculation is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the California Health and Safety Code sections applicable to California Housing Successor Agencies and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards ge nerally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the report on excess/surplus calculation is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the California Health and Safety Code sections applicable to California Housing Successor Agenci es.

Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

Note 1: Significant Accounting Policies
a. Financial Reporting Entity
The Orange Successor Housing Agency (Housing Successor) was established on February 1, 2012, pursuant to the dissolution of the former Redevelopment Agency.

Prior to that, the activities were accounted for in the Redevelopment Agency Housing Fund. The City Council became the governing board of the Housing Successor. The Housing Successor was formed for purposes of construction and management of quality affordable housing within the City.

The Housing Successor is controlled by the City of Orange (City) and, accordingly, the accompanying fund financial statements are included as a special revenue fund of the basic financial statements prepared by the City. The accompanying financial statements are intended to reflect the financial position of operations for the Housing Successor Fund only and do not purport to, and do not, present the financial position of the City of Orange, California. Separate financial statements are prepared for the City of Orange, and may be obtained from the City. b. Basis of Presentation
The Housing Successor’s financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Government Accounting Standards Board is the acknowledged standard setting body for establishing accounting and financial reporting standards followed by governmental entities in the United States of America.

The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the fund. The Housing Successor has no fiduciary activities.

The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segments are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services or privileges provided by a given function or segment, and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.

While separate government-wide and fund financial statements are presented, they are interrelated.

Note 1: Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
c. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under the economic resources measurement focus, all (both current and long term) economic resources and obligations are included in the accompanying Statement of Net Position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.

Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the current financial resources measurement focus, only current assets and liabilities are generally included on the balance sheet. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the Housing Successor considers revenues relating to grants to be available if they are collected within 120 days of the end of the current fiscal period, and within 60 days for all other revenues. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting.

Use of money and property is considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government.
d. Assets, Liabilities and Net Position or Equity
Cash and Investments
Investments are reported in the accompanying financial statements at fair value, which is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Changes in fair value that occur during a fiscal year are recognized as use of money and property for that fiscal year. Use of money and property includes interest earnings, changes in fair value (realized/unrealized), gains or losses realized upon the liquidation, maturity, or sale of investments, and rental income.

Cash and investments are pooled with other City of Orange funds for investment purposes, with interest being allocated monthly to various funds based on each fund’s prior month-end cash and investment balance. Interest income for cash and investments excluded from pooled cash is credited directly 429

to the related funds. Investment policies applicable to all the Housing Successor’s funds are those of the City of Orange and are included in the notes to the City’s basic financial statements.

Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period and will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until that time. The Housing Successor has items related to the pension and OPEB plans that qualify for reporting in this category.

In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred of inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The Housing Successor has items related to the pension and OPEB plans that qualify for reporting in this category.

Net Position Flow Assumption
Sometimes the government will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted (e.g., restricted bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted net position and unrestricted net position in the government-wide financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the Housing Successor’s policy to consider restricted net position to have been depleted before unrestricted net position is applied.

Fund Balance Flow Assumptions
Sometimes the government will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted resources (the total of committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance). In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance in the governmental fund financial statements a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the Housing Successor’s policy to consider restricted fund balance to have been depleted before using any of the components of unrestricted fund balance. Further, when the components of unrestricted fund balance can be used for the same purpose, committed fund balance is depleted first, followed by assigned fund balance.

Unassigned fund balance is applied last.

Note 1: Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, government funds report the following fund balance classification:

Non-spendable include amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.

Restricted include amounts that are constrained on the use of resources by either (a) external creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws of regulations of other governments or (b) by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

Committed include amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the government’s highest authority, the City Council. The formal action that is required to be taken to establish, modify, or rescind a fund balance commitment is a resolution. The Housing Successor did not have any committed fund balance as of June 30, 2021.

Assigned include amounts that are constrained by the government’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. The Housing Successor did not have any assigned fund balance as of June 30, 2021.

Unassigned include the residual amounts that have not been restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purposes.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of basic financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and deferred inflow/outflows of resources at the reporting date and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Loans Receivable
Non-current portions of long-term receivables due are reported on the Governmental and Government-wide financial statements. For loans that have a forgiveness component and/or repayment term greater than that of conventional loans, an allowance is recorded to more accurately present the net present value of these receivables.

Note 2: Cash and Investments
As of June 30, 2021, cash and investments were reported in the accompanying financial statements as follows:

Equity in City investment pool 2,594,041$
Total cash and investments 2,594,041$
a. Equity in the Cash and Investment Pool of the City of Orange The Housing Successor has no separate bank accounts or investments other than its equity in the cash and investment pool managed by the City of Orange. The Housing Successor is a voluntary participant in that pool. This pool is governed by and under the regulatory oversight of the Investment Policy adopted by the City Council of the City of Orange. The Housing Successor has not adopted an investment policy separate from that of the City of Orange. The fair value of the Housing Successor’s investment in the pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the Housing Successor’s pro-rata share of the fair value calculated by the City for the entire City portfolio. The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by the City, which are recorded at the estimated fair value.
b. Disclosures Relating to the Investment Policy, Interest Rate Risk and Custodial Credit Risk
Additional disclosures related to the investment policy, interest rate risk, credit risk and custodial credit risk are available in the City of Orange’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
c. Fair Value Measurements
The Housing Successor categorizes its fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the relative inputs used to measure the fair value of the investments. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The Housing Successor’s investment in the City investment pool is not subject to the fair value hierarchy.

Note 3: Loans Receivable
With the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency effective February 1, 2012, the City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the City of Orange to become the Housing Successor and enabling the City to retain housing assets and functions of the Redevelopment Agency. The Housing Successor provides housing loans for the rehabilitation and expansion of housing for low and moderate-income families in the City. Housing rehabilitation loans are for the purpose of rehabilitation and upgrading existing housing due to structural deficiencies. Housing loans also assist in the construction of new multi-family housing projects or rehabilitation of existing multi-family units. The balance of the loan at June 30, 2021, net of allowance for net present value, is $18,618,277.

Additionally, the former Redevelopment Agency issued several promissory notes, pursuant to and in implementation of the “Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions Option to Designate Eligible Purchaser with Alternative Option to Purchase and Option to Purchase upon Default.” These notes do not actually represent cash paid to the borrowers, but represent the subsidy constructively received by the borrower as a result of borrowers’ purchase of the property at a price below its fair market value. No repayment of these notes is due by the borrower until the Affordable Term of the loan date (45 years commencing from the loan date), or upon default, as described in the note. As of June 30, 2021, the outstanding amount for these loans was $465,000. Due to the length of the deferral and the uncertainty of repayment on these loans, an allowance has been recorded for the full amount of the loan receivable.

Note 4: Retirement Plan
a. Plan Description, Benefits Provided and Employees Covered The City contributes to the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS), an agent multiple-employer public employee defined benefit pension plan (the Plan). CalPERS provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost- of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and their beneficiaries.

CalPERS acts as a common investment and administrative agent for participating public entities within the State of California. Benefit provisions and all other requirements are established by state statute and memoranda of understanding with employee bargaining units. A full description of the pension plan regarding number of employees covered, benefit provisions, assumptions (for funding, but not accounting purposes), and membership information are listed in the CalPERS June 30, 2016 Annual Actuarial Valuation Report. Details of the benefits provided can be obtained in Appendix B of the actuarial valuation report. This report and CalPERS’ audited financial statements are publicly available reports that can be obtained at CalPERS’ website under Employers. Additional information can be found in the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the Year Ended June 30, 2021.
433

CITY OF ORANGE HOUSING SUCCESSOR

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2021
Note 4: Retirement Plan (continued)
The Plan provides benefits for two membership classifications, Miscellaneous and Safety, and those benefits are tiered based upon date of CalPERS membership.

Safety membership is extended to those in active law enforcement and fire suppression, while all others are classified as Miscellaneous members. Assembly Bill (AB) 340, also known as the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA), created new benefit formulas and a final compensation period as well as new contribution requirements for new employees. For the purpose of PEPRA, “new employees” are those hired on or after January 1, 2013, and had never been a member of CalPERS previously. CalPERS refers to members prior to January 1, 2013, as Classic members.

Employees of the City of Orange Housing Successor are covered under the Miscellaneous Plan. Further details of the City of Orange Retirement Plans can be found in the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the Year Ended June 30, 2021.

The City allocates a percentage of the GASB 68 net pension liability, deferred outflows, deferred inflows, and required supplementary information to the Housing Successor based on its pro rata share of the actual employer pension cost to the City.

Note 5: Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB)
The City administers an Agent Multiple-Employer defined benefit post- employment healthcare plan for eligible City retirees and their dependents through the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS). Retirees from the City enrolled in the Public Employees Medical and Hospital Insurance Program (PEMHCA), a single-employer postemployment benefits plan through CalPERS, are eligible for these benefits. These health insurance benefits are authorized through City Resolutions/Memorandas of Understanding defining health care benefits and contribution levels and through the contractual agreement between the City and CalPERS. The City currently contributes $139 per month for each retiree and the retiree is responsible for the balance of the premium amount.

The City allocates a percentage of the GASB 75 OPEB total liability, deferred outflows and inflows, and required supplementary information to the Housing Successor based on its pro rata share determined by an actuarial valuation annually.

Note 6: Subsequent Event
In preparing these financial statements, the Housing Successor has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through December 13, 2021, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. No events or transactions were identified that required recognition or disclosure. 434

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL

OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS

BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE

WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Orange, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards gene rally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the fin ancial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Orange, California, (the “City”) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Ci t y ’ s b a s i c f i n a n c i a l s t a t e m e n t s , a n d h a v e issued our report thereon dated December 13, 2021.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our a udit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s inte rnal control over financial reporting (inter nal control) as a basis for desi gning audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility t hat a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corr ected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpo se described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in in ternal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitation s, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Hou sing Successor’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance wit h which could have a direct and material effect on financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR PROGRAM

AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE AND REPORT ON SCHEDULE OF

EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Orange, California
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We have audited the City of Orange, California (the “City”)’s compliance wi th the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of the City ’s major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2021. The City’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.

In our opinion, the City, complied, in all material respects, w ith the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2021.

Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditin g standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to fin ancial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and t he audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Our responsibilities under those standards and the Uniform Guidance are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.

We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.

Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control o ver compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the City’s government programs.

To the
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Orange, California
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the City’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conduc ted in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance will always detect material noncompl iance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compli ance requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the City’s compliance with the requirements of the government program as a whole.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards , and Uniform Guidance, we:
x Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skept icism throughout the audit. x Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, wheth er due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such p rocedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. x Obtain an understanding of the C ity’s internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumst ances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with Uniform Gui dance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s intern a l c o n t r o l o v e r c o m p l i a n c e.

Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.

Report on Internal Control over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow manage ment or employees, in the norma l course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance wit h a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over comp liance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for t he limited purpose described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be a material weakness, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencie s in internal control over compliance may exist that have not been identified.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Orange, California

Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Required by the Uniform Guidance

We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statement s, which collectively comprise the City ’s basic financial statements. We issued our report thereon dated December 13, 2021, which contained unmodified opinions on those financial statements. Our audit wa s conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statem ents that collectively comprise t h e b a s i c f i n a n c i a l s t a t e m e n t s . T h e accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the Uniform Guidance and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financia l statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of th e financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that tes ting based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS

SECTION II - FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS
Reference Number: 2021-001
Evaluation of Finding:

Noncompliance
Criteria:

Senate Bill 341 (SB 341) requires all successor housing entities to comply with annual report requirements.

One requirement is for the City to report housing financial and activity information by including specified information with the Annual Progress Report (APR) required to b e annually submitted to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) by April 1 of the subsequent year pursuant to the State of California housing law in reporting progress in implementing the housing element.

Condition:

As part of our audit procedures, we noted that the APR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, was submitted to HCD on May 18, 2021.

Cause of Condition:

The City’s ability to submit the APR timely, was due to the Cit y’ efforts to pass an additional dwelling unit ordinance during the first quarter of the year, and the conside rable amount of staff time required in those efforts. There were also staffing shortages in the City’s Community Development Department.

Effect or Potential Effect of Condition:

The effect is unknown.

Recommendation:

The City should implement policies and procedures to ensure timely reporting of the APR to HCD by April first of the subsequent year.

Management’s Response and Corrective Action:

The City has assigned a specific staff member to this report, with the deadline scheduled for the responsible department. Based on available staff resources, the filing will remain an action item and the intent is to submit it by the deadline.

Item #: 10.1. 1/11/2022 File #: 21-0697
residential streets from commercial parking overflow. Under the City’sNPPP guidelines, a request for permit parking may be initiated by a resident in an affected neighborhood.

Staff received such a request for permit parking on Madison Avenue between Wayfield Street and the cul-de-sac east of Tustin Street. A review of the land uses, access, and circulation of the neighborhood and immediate vicinity indicated that (1) implementing permit parking only on Madison Avenue could potentially shift any commercial parking intrusion into other parts of the neighborhood and (2) permit parking would be more effective if the entire neighborhood (north of Walnut Avenue and east of Tustin Street) comprised any potential permit parking area (study area.) Thus, the study area was expanded to also include Orange Grove Avenue, Wayfield Street, and Walnut Avenue to allow those residents the option of participating in the permit parking process.

Staff then proceeded to evaluate the request in accordance with NPPP guidelines, taking into consideration all four aforementioned streets.

Parking Occupancy
In order for permit parking to be considered, at least 75 percent of the available on-street parking in the study area must be occupied during the perceived problem times. Staff conducted a parking occupancy study, the result of which indicated that approximately 76 percent of the available on street parking was being used on a recurring basis. Thus, the occupancy requirement is satisfied.

Resident Support
In addition, at least 75 percent of the area residents must sign a petition in favor. The results of the petition process were as follows:

Affected Street Total Households Number in Favor Percent in Favor Madison Avenue 9 7 78%
Orange Grove Avenue 9 7 78%
Wayfield Street 14 5 36%
Walnut Avenue 5 2 40%
Based on the petition results, only residents of Madison and Orange Grove avenues supported the proposal. Because the residents of Wayfield Street and Walnut Avenue overwhelmingly voted against permit parking, these streets would be excluded from the proposed permit parking area that was first brought to the City Traffic Commission (CTC) for approval.

City Traffic Commission Approval
At a special meeting held on October 14, 2021, staff presented an item to the City Traffic Commission (CTC) recommending permit parking on Madison and Orange Grove Avenues (Area “W”,)consistent with the results of the petition process and NPPP guidelines.

However, during public comments, two residents expressed concern over a small portion of Wayfield Street (north of Madison Avenue) being vulnerable to parking intrusion if it were not included in the proposed permit parking area. This concern was based on the fact that a larger portion of Wayfield City of Orange Printed on 1/5/2022Page 2 of 3
powered by Legistar™
456
Item #: 10.1. 1/11/2022 File #: 21-0697
proposed permit parking area. This concern was based on the fact that a larger portion of Wayfield Street (south of Madison Avenue) is currently designated “noovernight parking”;and the introduction of permit parking elsewhere in the neighborhood would leave six homes on Wayfield Street “unprotected.” But because Wayfield Street as a whole did not support permit parking during the petition process, and these two residents did not represent a majority of the affected portion of Wayfield Street, the CTC approved Area “W”to consist of Madison and Orange Grove Avenues only, consistent with staff’s recommendation.

To address the aforementioned concerns, staff determined it would be in the public interest to consider adding the six affected Wayfield Street homes to the CTC-approved Area “W”. Petitions were subsequently re-sent only to those affected addresses. Five of the six petitions (83%) were returned in favor of parking permits, demonstrating adequate support. Then, at its December regular meeting, the CTC approved incorporating Wayfield Street into Area “W”;and forwarding to the City Council for final approval. The entirety of Area “W” is depicted on the Area Map attached.

Recommendation
This request for permit parking was been reviewed in accordance with the City’sNPPP and satisfies all program requirements. Therefore, staff respectfully recommends the final approval of Area “W”, comprised of the following streets:
· Both sides of Madison Avenue from Wayfield Street to the cul-de-sac. · Both sides of Orange Grove Avenue from Wayfield Street to the westerly property lines of 1743/ 1744 East Orange Grove Avenue.
· West side of Wayfield Street from Orange Grove Avenue to Madison Avenue. · East side of Wayfield Street from Orange Grove Avenue to the property line at 565/555 North Wayfield Street.

Petitions were subsequently re-sent only to those affected addresses. Five of the six petitions (83%) were returned in favor of parking permits, demonstrating adequate support. Then, at its December regular meeting, the CTC approved incorporating Wayfield Street into Area “W”;and forwarding to the City Council for final approval. The entirety of Area “W” is depicted on the Area Map attached.

Recommendation
This request for permit parking was been reviewed in accordance with the City’sNPPP and satisfies all program requirements. Therefore, staff respectfully recommends the final approval of Area “W”, comprised of the following streets:
· Both sides of Madison Avenue from Wayfield Street to the cul-de-sac. · Both sides of Orange Grove Avenue from Wayfield Street to the westerly property lines of 1743/ 1744 East Orange Grove Avenue.
· West side of Wayfield Street from Orange Grove Avenue to Madison Avenue. · East side of Wayfield Street from Orange Grove Avenue to the property line at 565/555 North Wayfield Street.

5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 1: Provide for a safe community
b. Provide and maintain infrastructure necessary to ensure the safety of the public.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
Background
A resident of Madison Avenue submitted a request to initiate the process for neighborhood permit parking on Madison Avenue west of Wayfield Street on October 19, 2020. The initiating resident lives in the neighborhood that includes East Madison Avenue, Wayfield Street Orange Grove Avenue and the North side of Walnut Avenue. Upon receipt of the application fee, Traffic Division staff initiated the parking occupancy study to determine which streets would be eligible under the City’s City of Orange Printed on 10/11/2021Page 1 of 3

the parking occupancy study to determine which streets would be eligible under the City’s Neighborhood Permit Parking Program (NPPP) guidelines.

It should be noted that while the initial request was for Madison Avenue only, city staff adjusted the boundaries of the study area in order to minimize the likelihood that implementing permit parking would adversely affect surrounding streets. In this case, because Wayfield Street, Orange Grove Avenue and the north side of Walnut Avenue could potentially be impacted by a parking permit program on Madison Avenue, staff felt that the residents of these surrounding streets should also be included in the petition process if the applicable parking thresholds were met.

Existing Conditions
Staff mapped and counted the number of legal parking spaces for each of the four streets in the study area. Because the demand for on-street parking was highest in the evenings, staff conducted the parking observations during those hours. Beginning at 5:30 P.M., and progressively later each night, staff made ten observations in the subject neighborhood, including one Sunday observation.

Per the City’sadopted NPPP, a street parking occupancy rate of 75% in required to qualify for permit parking. The level of parking occupancy observed by staff for all the streets in the study area is

75.8%.

Because parking occupancy exceeded the minimum 75% threshold, a petition was circulated to determine the level of neighborhood support. A petition letter and a list of permit parking advantages and disadvantages were provided by the Traffic Division to each of the resident property owners and absentee property owners in the study area. Traffic Division staff mailed petition letters to the unsigned property owners on three separate occasions to give everyone the opportunity vote in favor or opposed to parking permits. The table below shows the street-by-street results of the neighborhood polling as of September 30, 2021.

Affected Streets Households In Favor Households OpposedUnreturned Madison Ave. 7 77.8% 2 22.2% 0 0%
OrangeGrove Ave 7 77.8% 0 0% 2 22.2%
Wayfield St 5 35.7% 5 35.7% 4 28.6%
Walnut Ave. 2 40% 0 0% 3 60%
For non-returned petitions, Traffic Division staff made three attempts to notify the property owners of the active permit parking petition process and request the return of a filled out petition to the City, which did yield additional participation.

The final results of the petition indicate that both Madison and Orange Grove Avenues have 77.8% of property owners in favor of the permit parking program, which exceeds the minimum 75% required under the program implementation policy. Wayfield Street and Walnut Avenue had 35.7% and 40% in favor, respectively. Most of Wayfield Street is already posted for “NoParking 11:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M. and this may be satisfactory for those residents on Wayfield Street. If approved for implementation, the Orange Police Department will issue the permits for eligible households on Madison and Orange Grove Avenues. Participation in the permit program is voluntary; however, after implementation any vehicle parked on the street without a permit can be cited.

Analysis
Staff has documented a consistently high demand for on-street parking in the subject area that becomes progressively greater through the evening hours. The level of parking demand exceeds the minimum requirements under the policies of the NPPP. While the subject neighborhood meets the parking occupancy requirements, only Madison and Orange Grove Avenues have demonstrated the necessary support needed to implement permit parking.

Given the existing parking demand on Wayfield Street and Walnut Avenue, it is doubtful that the parking situation would get noticeably worse for residents of those streets if they are voluntarily excluded from the parking permit program. However, the following should be kept in mind:

1. Should the residents of Wayfield Street and Walnut Avenue wish to be included in the permit program in the future, they will be required to pay the application fees and meet any program requirements that are in place at the time the request is submitted.

2. Any vehicle parked in a designated parking-by-permit area without a permit is subject to citation; furthermore, parking permits do not supersede the overnight parking restriction on Wayfield Street or the street sweeping restrictions in the neighborhood.

Recommendation
Based on the analysis, staff recommends that the Traffic Commission approve the implementation of a Neighborhood Parking Permit Program for the following street segments, and forward to the City Council for final approval:
· Both sides of Madison Avenue from Wayfield Street to the cul-de-sac. · Both sides of Orange Grove Avenue from Wayfield Street to the westerly property lines of 1743/ 1744 E. Orange Drove Avenue.

The proponent and all residents and businesses within potential impact areas of this neighborhood were notified of this item on Traffic Commission Meeting agenda.

1. SUBJECT
Request for permit parking on Wayfield Street between Orange Grove and Madison avenues.

2. SUMMARY
At its October 13, 2021 meeting, The City Traffic Commission approved Permit Parking Area “W” (Area “W”,) comprised of Orange Grove and Madison avenues west of Wayfield Street.

Subsequently, staff reached out to residents that expressed concerned over parking demand shifting onto Wayfield Street. This proposal addresses those concerns by incorporating the affected segment of Wayfield into Area “W”.

3. RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Amend the previously approved Permit Parking Area “W”to include the segment of Wayfield Street between Orange Grove Avenue and the southerly property lines of 550/555 Wayfield Street.

2. Forward to the City Council for final approval.

4. FISCAL IMPACT
The total expenditure for the project is $1,000 and will be funded in Minor Traffic Control Devices (16302) through Traffic Improvement Measure M2 (263).

5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS

b. Provide and maintain infrastructure necessary to ensure the safety of the public

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
During the discussion of Parking Permits for Madison Avenue and Orange Grove Avenue at the October 13th Traffic Commission Meeting, two residents expressed concern about Wayfield Street (north of Madison Avenue) not being included in the then-proposed permit parking area. Because these two residents did not represent a majority of the six affected Wayfield Street homes, the Traffic Commission approved the permits for Madison Avenue and Orange Grove Avenue only. The approval was consistent with staff’srecommendation at the time, and based on the results of the associated petition process whereby residents of Wayfield Street did not elect to participate in the parking permit program.

In light of (1) the aforementioned concerns and (2) the fact that Wayfield Street south of the subject City of Orange Printed on 12/2/2021Page 1 of 2

Item #: 4.1. 12/8/2021 File #: 21-0649
In light of (1) the aforementioned concerns and (2) the fact that Wayfield Street south of the subject area is currently designated “no overnight parking”, staff determined that in the interest of fairness, petition letters would once again be sent to the six homes on Wayfield Street between Orange Grove and Madison avenues. This is because, without an overnight parking restriction, this section of Wayfield Street would likely be vulnerable to parking intrusion if not included in the approved Area “W”.

To that end, On October 18, 2021, petition letters were mailed to the six affected addresses on Wayfield Street. Five of the six petitions were returned to the City, all of which (83%) were in favor of parking permits. Moreover, staff has documented a consistently high demand for on-street parking in the subject area that becomes progressively greater through the evening hours. The level of parking demand exceeds the minimum requirements stipulated in the City’sNeighborhood Permit Parking Program (NPPP.)
Staff would like to once again remind the residents of Orange Grove Avenue, Madison Avenue and Wayfield Street of the following:

1. Should the residents of Walnut Avenue and Wayfield Street outside the proposed permit parking area (as shown on attached Area Map) wish to be included in the permit program in the future, they will be required to pay the application fees and meet any program requirements that are in place at the time the request is submitted.

2. Any vehicle parked in a designated parking-by-permit area without a permit is subject to citation; furthermore, parking permits do not supersede the existing overnight parking restriction on a portion of Wayfield Street or the street sweeping restrictions in the neighborhood.

Recommendation
Based on the above, staff recommends that the Traffic Commission approve the addition of Wayfield Street between Orange Grove and Madison avenues (including 550/555 N. Wayfield Street as shown on the attached Area Map) to the previously approved Permit Parking Area “W”;and forward to the City Council for final approval.

If approved, Area “W” would be expanded to consist of:
· Both sides of Madison Avenue from Wayfield Street to the cul-de-sac. · Both sides of Orange Grove Avenue from Wayfield Street to the westerly property lines of 1743/ 1744 E. Orange Grove Avenue.
· Wayfield Street between Orange Grove Avenue and the southerly property lines of 550/555 Wayfield Street.

The proponent and all residents and businesses within potential impact areas of this neighborhood were notified of this item on the Traffic Commission Meeting agenda.
