1. Create and maintain a parcel levy database by using parcel information from various sources. As new data becomes available, update the database, and enhance the data through parcel research using current secured roll information, County Assessor maps, various third-party resources, and specific information provided by the City (e.g., up-to-date map approval status, building permits or certificate of occupancy data). Updates to the database will include those necessitated by the addition and/or removal of parcels, land subdivisions and merges, ownership and mailing address changes, and adjusted benefit unit information.
2. Attend up to two (2) City Council meetings, public hearings, and/or staff meetings; and be available to answer questions posed by City Council or staff.
3. Update the parcel levy database by using the parcel listing and Engineer’s Reports provided by the City. The data will be verified against the County secured roll to identify and resolve any anomalies.
4. Provide the assessment amount for each parcel by APN to the County Auditor/Controller’s Office in the media, format and configuration required by the County for placement on the annual property tax roll.
5. Submit the electronic collection file, the Resolution to Levy, and other necessary documentation required by the County Auditor/Controller’s Office for collection of the assessments.

9. As requested, prepare and mail invoices (handbills) to all property owners whose annual assessment could not be applied to the County tax roll (parcels for which the County does not generate a tax bill). These invoices would provide for two (2) installments, similar to the County tax bills, and would be payable directly to the City.
Community Facilities District Administration
The following outlines the steps necessary to annually administer CFD No. 91-2 (Serrano Heights) and CFD No. 06-1 (Del Rio).
1. Updated and maintain a parcel levy database by using parcel information from various sources. As new data becomes available, update the database, and enhance the data through parcel research using current secured roll information, County Assessor maps, various third-party resources, and specific information provided by the City (e.g., up-to-date map approval status, building permits or certificate of occupancy data). Updates to the database will include those necessitated by the addition and/or removal of parcels, land subdivisions and merges, ownership and mailing address changes, and adjusted benefit unit information. This database will then become the source for the calculation of the annual special tax.
2. Annually calculate and apportion the special taxes as specified in the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax (RMA).
3. Prepare, if necessary, staff report and/or an annual resolution that establishes the budget for the fiscal year and application of the special tax to be submitted to the County, including the special tax summary for the fiscal year.

4. FISCAL IMPACT

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
On July 22, 2025, the Orange City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Milan REI X, LLC (Milan). While the MOU did not mandate or guarantee City approvals, it memorialized the City’sintent to take all considered efforts to expeditiously review Milan applications and/or permit requests as it relates to:
· 22 single family homes north of the Santiago Creek (Mabury 22). · 30 residential units at 6146 East Santiago Canyon Road (Residential Project); and · Sully Miller open space project (Open Space Project)
Prior to executing the MOU, in November 2023, Milan submitted preliminary applications for residential projects pursuant to Senate Bill 330 (Builders Remedy). This prompted discussions between the City and Milan which precipitated the existing Tolling Agreements that are subject to City of Orange Printed on 5/7/2026Page 1 of 2

Item #: 3.6. 5/26/2026 File #: 26-0278
between the City and Milan which precipitated the existing Tolling Agreements that are subject to MOU Section 1.4, and the focal point of this first amendment.
Pursuant to MOU Section 1.4, the existing Tolling Agreements will expire on July 22, 2026. When the MOU was initially approved in July 2025, it was agreed that Milan would dismiss its Builders Remedy applications if the City issued ministerial permits for the Mabury 22 project by August 1, 2026, while also approving the Residential and Open Space Projects by July 1, 2026.
With the MOU deadlines approaching, Milan has requested a 30-day extension to the Tolling Agreements pursuant to MOU Section 1.4. Staff have evaluated Milan’s request, and believes granting this extension serves the City’sbest interest. Overall, the proposed first amendment to the MOU includes the following changes:
· Tolling agreements will extend 30 days until August 21, 2026, without limiting the City’s obligation to process applications in accordance with state law. · The City’s approval deadline will be extended to August 21, 2026. · The City Manager will be granted authority to approve additional extensions to the Tolling Agreements and approval deadlines in 30-day increments provided:
o That the 30-day increments do not exceed six months in total. o That the Developer provides written status updates on the Mabury-22 project, Residential Project, and Open Space Project.
· That any extension approved administratively be in the best interest of the City and not materially impact the City’s ability to enforce the MOU’s terms and performance expectations.

2. Owen Walstead LLC, dba U.S. Door, Inc. - $358,985
3. National Garage Door - $386,750
Estate Design and Construction was the low bidder. Staff found the firm non-responsive and non- responsible after conducting reference checks and evaluating qualifications. Staff identified a lack of comparable project experience, negative reference feedback regarding project delays, and inconsistencies in project value reporting. These concerns highlighted issues of transparency and reliability. Following Public Contract Code Section 20162, award of contracts to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, the bidder must demonstrate the necessary experience, skill, and integrity for this work.
The next lowest bidder, Owen Walstead LLC, dba U.S. Door, Inc., was determined to be responsive and responsible, with demonstrated experience in similar work and satisfactory references.
Staff recommends awarding the contract to Owen Walstead LLC, dba U.S. Door, Inc., in the amount of $358,985, plus a 10% contingency of $35,899, for a total contract amount of $394,884.
This project will replace six garage bay doors at Fire Station 7 and one non-operable door at the Corporation Yard Fleet Building. The improvements will enhance operational reliability, reduce maintenance needs, and support uninterrupted emergency and public works services.
Construction is anticipated to begin in May 2026 and be completed by June 2026.

Section 1725.5. Registration of contractors; mandatory registration; qualifications and application; fees; exempt contractors
A contractor shall be registered pursuant to this section to be qualified to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, subject to the requirements of Section 4104 of the Public Contract Code, or engage in the performance of any public work contract that is subject to the requirements of this chapter. For the purposes of this section, “contractor” includes a subcontractor as defined by Section 1722.1. (a) To qualify for registration under this section, a contractor shall do all of the following:
(1)(A) Register with the Department of Industrial Relations in the manner prescribed by the department and pay an initial nonrefundable application fee of four hundred dollars ($400) to qualify for registration under this section and an annual renewal fee on or before July 1 of each year thereafter. The annual renewal fee shall be in a uniform amount set by the Director of Industrial Relations, and the initial registration and renewal fees may be adjusted no more than annually by the director to support the costs specified in Section 1771.3. (B) Beginning June 1, 2019, a contractor may register or renew according to this subdivision in annual increments up to three years from the date of registration. Contractors who wish to do so will be required to prepay the applicable nonrefundable application or renewal fees to qualify for the number of years for which they wish to preregister.
(2) Provide evidence, disclosures, or releases as are necessary to establish all of the following:
(A) Workers' compensation coverage that meets the requirements of Division 4 (commencing with Section 3200) and includes sufficient coverage for any worker whom the contractor employs to perform work that is subject to prevailing wage requirements other than a contractor who is separately registered under this section.
Coverage may be evidenced by a current an d valid certificate of workers' compensation insurance or certification of self-insurance required under Section 7125 of the Business and Professions Code. (B) If applicable, the contractor is licensed in accordance with Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 7000) of the Business and Professions Code.
(C) The contractor does not have any delinquent liability to an employee or the state for any assessment of back wages or related damages, interest, fines, or penalties pursuant to any final judgment, order, or determination by a court or any federal, state, or local administrative agency, including a confirmed arbitration award. However, for purposes of this paragraph, the contractor shall not be disqualified for any judgment, order, or determination that is under appeal, provided that the contractor has secured the payment of any amount eventually found due through a bond or other appropriate means. (D) The contractor is not currently debarred under Section 1777.1 or under any other federal or state law providing for the debarment of contractors from public works. (E) The contractor has not bid on a public works contract, been listed in a bid proposal, or engaged in the performance of a contract for public works without being lawfully registered in accordance with this section, within the preceding 12 months or sinc e the effective date of the requirements set forth in subdivision (e), whichever is earlier. If a contractor is found to be in violation of the requirements of this paragraph, the period of disqualification shall be waived if both of the following are true:
206
Attachment No. 1
(i) The contractor has not previously been found to be in violation of the requirements of this paragraph within the preceding 12 months.
(ii) The contractor pays an additional nonrefundable penalty registration fee of two thousand dollars ($2,000). (b) Fees received pursuant to this section shall be deposited in the State Public Works Enforcement Fund established by Section 1771.3 and shall be used only for the purposes specified in that section. (c) A contractor who fails to pay the renewal fee required under paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) on or before the expiration of any prior period of registration shall be prohibited from bidding on or engaging in the performance of any contract for public work until once again registered pursuant to this section. If the failure to pay the renewal fee was inadvertent, the contractor may renew its registration retroactively by paying an additional nonrefundable penalty renewal fee equal to the amount of the renewal fee within 90 days of the due date of the renewal fee.
(d) If, after a body awarding a contract accepts the contractor's bid or awards the contract, the work covered by the bid or contract is determined to be a public work to which Section 1771 applies, either as the result of a determination by the director pursuant to Section 1773.5 or a court decision, the requirements of this section shall not apply, subject to the following requirements:
(1) The body that awarded the contract failed, in the bid specification or in the contract documents, to identify as a public work that portion of the work that the determination or decision subsequently classifies as a public work.
(2) Within 20 days following service of notice on the awarding body of a determination by the Director of Industrial Relations pursuant to Section 1773.5 or a decision by a court that the contract was for public work as defined in this chapter, the contractor and any subcontractors are registered under this section or are replaced by a contractor or subcontractors who are registered under this section. (3) The requirements of this section shall apply prospectively only to any subsequent bid, bid proposal, contract, or work performed after the awarding body is served with notice of the determination or decision referred to in paragraph (2).
(e) The requirements of this section shall apply to any bid proposal submitted on or after March 1, 2015, to any contract for public work, as defined in this chapter, executed on or after April 1, 2015, and to any work performed under a contract for public work on or after January 1, 2018, regardless of when the contract for public work was executed.

Except for public works projects of one thousand dollars ($1,000) or less, not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for work of a similar character in the locality in which the public work is performed, and not less than the general pre vailing rate of per diem wages for holiday and overtime work fixed as provided in this chapter, shall be paid to all workers employed on public works.
This section is applicable only to work performed under contract, and is not applicable to work carried out by a public agency with its own forces. This section is applicable to contracts let for maintenance work. 207

Section 1771.1 . Registration as a contractor or subcontractor required prior to bid submission; exceptions; violations; penalties
(a) A contractor or subcontractor shall not be qualified to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, subject to the requirements of Section 4104 of the Public Contract Code , or engage in the performance of any contract for public work, as defined in this chapter, unless currently registered and qualified to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5. It is not a violation of this section for an unregistered contractor to submit a bid that is authorized by Section 7029.1 of the Business and Professions Code or by Section 10164 or 20103.5 of the Public Contract Code , provided the contractor is registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 at the time the contract is awarded.
(b) Notice of the requirement described in subdivision (a) shall be included in all bid invitations and public works contracts, and a bid shall not be accepted nor any contract or subcontract entered into without proof of the contractor or subcontractor's current registration to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5. (c) An inadvertent error in listing a subcontractor who is not registered pursuant to Section 1725.5 in a bid proposal shall not be grounds for filing a bid protest or grounds for considering the bid nonresponsive, provided that any of the following apply:
(1) The subcontractor is registered prior to the bid opening. (2) Within 24 hours after the bid opening, the subcontractor is registered and has paid the penalty registration fee specified in subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 1725.5. (3) The subcontractor is replaced by another registered subcontractor pursuant to Section 4107 of the Public Contract Code.
(d) Failure by a subcontractor to be registered to perform public work as required by subdivision (a) shall be grounds under Section 4107 of the Public Contract Code for the contractor, with the consent of the awarding authority, to substitute a subcontractor who is registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 in place of the unregistered subcontractor.
(e) The department shall maintain on its Internet Web site a list of contractors who are currently registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5.
(f) A contract entered into with any contractor or subcontractor in violation of subdivision (a) shall be subject to cancellation, provided that a contract for public work shall not be unlawful, void, or voidable solely due to the failure of the awarding body, contractor, or any subcontractor to comply with the requirements of Section 1725.5 or this section.
(g) If the Labor Commissioner or his or her designee determines that a contractor or subcontractor engaged in the performance of any public work contract without having been registered in accordance with this section, the contractor or subcontractor shall forfeit, as a civil penalty to the state, one hundred dollars ($100) for each day of work performed in violation of the registration requirement, not to exceed an aggregate penalty of eight thousand dollars ($8,000) in addition to any penalty registration fee assessed pursuant to clause (ii) of subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 1725.5. (h)(1) In addition to, or in lieu of, any other penalty or sanction authorized pursuant to this chapter, a higher tiered public works contractor or subcontractor who is found to have entered into a subcontract with an unregistered lower tier subcontractor to perform any public work in violation of the requirements of Section 1725.5 or this section shall be subject to forfeiture, as a civil penalty to the state, of one hundred dollars ($100) 208
Attachment No. 1
for each day the unregistered lower tier subcontractor performs work in violation of the registration requirement, not to exceed an aggregate penalty of ten thousand dollars ($10,000). (2) The Labor Commissioner shall use the same standards specified in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 1775 when determining the severity of the violation and what penalty to assess, and may waive the penalty for a first time violation that was unintentional and did not hinder the Labor Commissioner's ability to monitor and enforce compliance with the requirements of this chapter. (3) A higher tiered public works contractor or subcontractor shall not be liable for penalties assessed pursuant to paragraph (1) if the lower tier subcontractor's performance is in violation of the requirements of Section 1725.5 due to the revocation of a previously approved registration. (4) A subcontractor shall not be liable for any penalties assessed against a higher tiered public works contractor or subcontractor pursuant to paragraph (1). A higher tiered public works contractor or subcontractor may not require a lower tiered subcontractor to indemnify or otherwise be liable for any penalties pursuant to paragraph (1).
(i) The Labor Commissioner or his or her designee shall issue a civil wage and penalty assessment, in accordance with the provisions of Section 1741, upon determination of penalties pursuant to subdivision (g) and subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (h). Review of a civil wage and penalty assessment issued under this subdivision may be requested in accordance with the provisions of Section 1742 . 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. The stop order shall not apply to work by registered contractors or subcontractors on the public work.
(2) A stop order may be personally served upon the contractor or subcontractor by either of the following methods:
(A) Manual delivery of the order to the contractor or subcontractor personally. (B) Leaving signed copies of the order with the person who is apparently in charge at the site of the public work and by thereafter mailing copies of the order by first class mail, postage prepaid to the con tractor or subcontractor at one of the following:

(ii) If the contractor or subcontractor has no address on file with the Secretary of State or the Contractors' State License Board, the address of the site of the public work. (3) The stop order shall be effective immediately upon service and shall be subject to appeal by the party contracting with the unregistered contractor or subcontractor, by the unregistered contractor or subcontractor, or both. The appeal, hearing, and any further review of the hearing decision shall be governed by the procedures, time limits, and other requirements specified in subdivision (a) of Section 238.1. 209
Attachment No. 1
(4) Any employee of an unregistered contractor or subcontractor who is affected by a work stoppage ordered by the commissioner pursuant to this subdivision shall be paid at his or her regular hourly prevailing wage rate by that employer for any hours the employee would have worked but for the work stoppage, not to exceed 10 days.
(k) Failure of a contractor or subcontractor, owner, director, officer, or managing agent of the contractor or subcontractor to observe a stop order issued and served upon him or her pursuant to subdivision (j) is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment in county jail not exceeding 60 days or by a fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000), or both.
(l) This section shall apply to any bid proposal submitted on or after March 1, 2015, and any contract for public work entered into on or after April 1, 2015.

Section 1775. Penalties for violations
(a)(1) The contractor and any subcontractor under the contractor shall, as a penalty to the state or political subdivision on whose behalf the contract is made or awarded, forfeit not more than two hundred dollars ($200) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rates as determined by the director for the work or craft in which the worker is employed for any public work done under the contract by the contractor or, except as provided in subdivision (b), by any subcontractor under the contractor.
(2)(A) The amount of the penalty shall be determined by the Labor Commissioner based on consideration of both of the following:
(i) Whether the failure of the contractor or subcontractor to pay the correct rate of per diem wages was a good faith mistake and, if so, the error was promptly and voluntarily corrected when brought to the attention of the contractor or subcontractor.
(ii) Whether the contractor or subcontractor has a prior record of failing to meet its prevailing wage obligations.
(B)(i) The penalty may not be less than forty dollars ($40) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rate, unless the failure of the contractor or subcontractor to pay the correct rate of per diem wages was a good faith mistake and, if so, the error was promptly and voluntarily corrected when brought to the attention of the contractor or subcontractor. (ii) The penalty may not be less than eighty dollars ($80) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rate, if the contractor or subcontractor has been assessed penalties within the previous three years for failing to meet its prevailing wage obligations on a separate contract, unless those penalties were subsequently withdrawn or overturned. (iii) The penalty may not be less than one hundred twenty dollars ($120) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rate, if the Labor Commissioner determines that the violation was willful, as defined in subdivision (c) of Section 1777.1. (C) If the amount due under this section is collected from the contractor or subcontractor, any outstanding wage claim under Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1720) of Part 7 of Division 2 against that contractor 211
Attachment No. 1
or subcontractor shall be satisfied before applying that amount to the penalty imposed on that contractor or subcontractor pursuant to this section.

(E) The difference between the prevailing wage rates and the amount paid to each worker for each calendar day or portion thereof for which each worker was paid less than the prevailing wage rate shall be paid to each worker by the contractor or subcontractor, and the body awarding the contract shall cause to be inserted in the contract a stipulation that this section will be complied with. (b) If a worker employed by a subcontractor on a public works project is not paid the general prevailing rate of per diem wages by the subcontractor, the prime contractor of the project is not liable for any penalties under subdivision (a) unless the prime contractor had knowledge of that failure of the subcontractor to pay the specified prevailing rate of wages to those workers or unless the prime contractor fails to comply with all of the following requirements:

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 underg o testing, training, an examination, 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 Apprenticeship Standards and who are parties to written 214
Attachment No. 1
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 awarded 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 apprentices would be employed. A copy of this information shall also be submitted to the awarding body, i f 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 journeymen 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 when 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 calculate 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 s ubcontractor, 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 215
Attachment No. 1
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 the specific task to which th e 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 director 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 Indust rial 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:
216
Attachment No. 1
(i) If there is an approved multiemployer apprenticeship program serving the same craft or trade and geographic area for which the training contributions 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 of Industrial Relations is able to verify that grant funds were used s olely for training apprentices. For purposes of this subparagraph, adequate records incl ude, 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 to 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 recei ve any future grant pursuant to this subdivision and the Department of Industrial Relations may initiate th e 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 the 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 section under the terms and conditions prescribed by the director.
Section 1813. Forfeiture for violations; contract stipulation; report of violations
The contractor or subcontractor shall, as a penalty to the state or political subdivision on whose behalf the contract is made or awarded, forfeit twenty- five dollars ($25) for each worker employed in the execution of 217

In awarding any contract for public work, the awarding body shall cause to be inserted in the contract a stipulation to this effect. The awarding body shall take cognizance of all violations of this article committed in the course of the executi on of the contract, and shall report them to the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement.
Section 1815. Overtime
Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 1810 to 1814, inclusive, of this code, and notwithstanding any stipulation inserted in any contract pursuant to the requirements of said sections, work performed by employees of contractors in excess of 8 hours per day, and 40 hours during any one week, shall be permitted upon public work upon compensation for all hours worked in excess of 8 h ours per day at not less than 1 ½ times the basic rate of pay.

ORDINANCE NO. 02-26
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ORANGE AMENDING CHAPTER
8.13 OF THE ORANGE MUNICIPAL CODE TO
IMPOSE STRICT LIABILITY ON SOCIAL
HOSTS FOR ALLOWING, FACILITATING, OR
FAILING TO PREVENT THE USE OR
DISCHARGE OF ILLEGAL FIREWORKS AND
ESTABLISHING ENFORCEMENT PENALTIES
AND ADMINISTRATIVE FINES
WHEREAS, California Constitution, Article XI, Section 7, authorizes the City of Orange (“City”) to adopt and enforce local police, sanitary, and other ordinances and regulations that are not in conflict with general laws; and
WHEREAS, California Health & Safety Code section 101450 empowers the City Council to take measures necessary to preserve and protect public health, including adopting ordinances, regulations, and orders that are not in conflict with general laws; and WHEREAS, the discharge of illegal fireworks is a common problem faced by many jurisdictions in California, including the City of Orange (“City”) and surrounding communities; and
WHEREAS, the upcoming holiday season, particularly Independence Day, and other celebrations such as New Year's Eve, present an immediate and recurring threat of catastrophic wildfires caused by illegal fireworks, especially given California’s extended fire season and climate conditions that create extreme fire danger; and WHEREAS, the City of Orange currently regulates fireworks pursuant to Chapter 8.13 of the Orange Municipal Code and is compatible with the State Firework Law (California Health and Safety Code Section 12500 et seq.); and
WHEREAS, the City of Orange only permits the use of safe and sane fireworks as defined by State law on July 4th of each year between the hours of noon and 10:00 p.m. in approved areas within the city limits; and
WHEREAS, the City’s Police Department responds to numerous firework complaint calls during holiday periods; and
WHEREAS, the City’s existing fireworks prohibition lacks adequate enforcement mechanisms to hold social hosts accountable, resulting in continued illegal fireworks activity that poses an immediate threat to life and property; and
224
2 WHEREAS, illegal fireworks can cause serious burns, eye injuries, and other traumatic injuries requiring immediate medical attention, and delayed implementation of this Ordinance would risk continued illegal fireworks activity during upcoming holidays, directly threatening public health; and
WHEREAS, the City’s Police Department has encountered operational difficulties in accurately identifying and citing responsible parties for violations of Chapter 8.13 when illegal fireworks are discharged or used at private residences or neighborhood block parties, particularly during large, crowded gatherings. To expand the enforcement tools available to both law enforcement and code enforcement, the City seeks to adopt “social host liability” regulations.
These regulations would impose strict liability on the property owner, host, or any person in possession or control of the property for permitting any individual to sell, possess, ignite, explode, project, discharge, or otherwise use illegal fireworks on property owned or controlled by that person in violation of this chapter, regardless of the owner’s, host’s or responsible person’s intent, knowledge, or negligence; and
WHEREAS, the City wishes to adopt this Social Host Liability Ordinance to help deter illegal fireworks activity and provide enhanced enforcement mechanisms during the upcoming holiday season; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has identified the discharge of illegal fireworks as a public nuisance, and finds that there should be an increase in enforcement and penalties for the discharge of illegal fireworks; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that illegal fireworks also pose significant year-round risks to public health, safety, and welfare, including fire hazards, property damage, and disturbances of the peace to residents.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ORANGE DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I:
The subject Ordinance is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines (Guidelines) Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) because review and evaluation of potential impact of the Ordinance demonstrate that it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and it is not a "project" as defined in Guideline 15378 and the Ordinance regulates conduct and enforcement procedures and does not authorize or result in any physical development or change to the environment; any resulting enforcement activity is indirect, speculative, and not a reasonably foreseeable physical change.
