1. SUBJECT
Agreement with Triad Consulting & System Design Group, L.L.C. for security consulting services

2. SUMMARY
Triad Consulting proposes to serve as the City’sindependent oversight and monitoring partner for its security systems, ensuring continuous uptime, proper maintenance, and reliable performance across cameras, access control, LPR, servers, and related infrastructure.

3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the two-year with three optional annual extensions agreement with Triad Consulting & System Design Group, L.L.C. in the amount of $147,000.00 for security consulting services; and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute on behalf of the City.

4. FISCAL IMPACT
The total expense for the two-year agreement is $147,000.00 and will be funded through General Fund (100):
100-1601-56999 Other repair and maintenance services
The two-year agreement total is $147,000.00. Costs for year 1 is $77,400.00 and year 2 is $69,600.

Year 1 contains a one-time configuration and setup cost and therefore higher than year 2. Optional years 3, 4, and 5 are $73,080.00, $76,734.00, and $80,570.00 respectively.

5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 5: Improve Infrastructure, Mobility, and Technology

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
The City has made significant investments in a security system platform initially starting with a City Council approval August 11, 2015. The initial procurement occurred to acquire cameras and license plate readers at the parking structure and train station followed by subsequent camera replacements for the Police and Library facilities. Further expansions occurred at various parks and other City facilities for cameras, duress buttons, and access control now encompassing a total of 340 cameras and 140 doors.

The system has grown so large it is difficult to manage with internal resources. Since 2019, the City has increasingly relied on Triad Consulting for their expertise in security and specific knowledge of City of Orange Printed on 7/10/2026Page 1 of 2

has increasingly relied on Triad Consulting for their expertise in security and specific knowledge of the City’s security platform utilizing the Genetec software. Since 2021, the maintenance of the security platform system has been provided by Siemens as a security integrator. Their current contract is set to expire this fall. A request for proposal (RFP) is currently being drafted to competitively evaluate security integrators to support the system. This creates a unique opportunity to reexamine how maintenance of the system is conducted.

Triad Consulting proposes a practical and cost-effective solution to strengthen oversight of the City of Orange’ssecurity system. Rather than performing hands-on maintenance themselves, Triad would serve as the City’sindependent expert manager and 24/7 monitor, ensuring the security integrator delivers reliable performance across cameras, access control, license plate recognition, and supporting infrastructure. With Triad assuming these responsibilities, the City can reduce responsibilities provided by a security integrator.

Triad proposes to also act as the City’sdedicated oversight and monitoring partner, ensuring the system stays healthy, secure, and fully operational. Triad will independently monitor the overall health of the City's security platform and oversee the performance of the security integrator, verifying that contractual maintenance obligations are fulfilled and advising the City regarding system performance.

Instead of relying on the security integrator’sself-reporting, Triad will verify all work, track issues, and ensure proper certifications and background checks, and confirm repairs and preventative maintenance are done correctly. This ensures accountability and avoids system failures caused by missed or low-quality maintenance.

In addition, Triad will manage software and firmware updates, cybersecurity alerts, lifecycle tracking, asset inventories, and health dashboards, giving the City one organized view of its entire security environment. This reduces surprises, extends equipment life, and supports better budgeting. With automated monitoring, Triad will identify issues immediately, determine whether they are hardware or software related, and coordinate the right team to fix the problem. The City gets faster resolution and clearer communication. Through lifecycle management and performance analytics, Triad will help the City plan replacements, upgrades, and maintenance proactively reducing emergency costs and limiting system downtime.

Overall, this arrangement delivers value by providing continuous remote system monitoring and catches problems early, preventive maintenance is completed on schedule, software and firmware updates are properly managed, and every repair or change is tracked with full accountability. Triad will provide structure, expertise, and real-time visibility to a system that has become complex and critical to manage informally.

Staff anticipates a lower overall cost for the security platform maintenance by shifting some of that responsibility to Triad with an expected overall reduction in scope and cost for the security platform system maintenance. The RFP for a security integrator is greatly influenced by this proposed oversight contract as it significantly affects the security integrator RFP scope. Upon approval, staff will immediately finalize an RFP for a security integrator.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
On April 8, 2025, the Orange City Council received a presentation from the California Fire Museum on their proposal to operate a fire department history museum at the Old Fire Headquarters (Old Fire HQ) located at 176 South Grand Street. After hearing the presentation, the City Council directed staff to bring back an agreement that would authorize the California Fire Museum to operate at the Old Fire HQ on a temporary basis. The City Council approved the initial one-year license agreement on July 22, 2025.

The California Fire Museum has requested that the City enter into a new license agreement to continue its occupancy of the Old Fire HQ. The proposed agreement establishes a new one-year term while otherwise maintaining the same material terms and conditions as the current agreement, including the City's right to terminate the agreement upon 60 days' written notice.

As the City Council considers this request, staff notes that on June 9, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 11698 declaring this property, among others, as surplus, thereby initiating the Surplus Land Act (SLA) process. While the ultimate disposition of the property has not yet been determined, the SLA process is expected to take time to complete. Approving a new one-year license agreement would allow the California Fire Museum to continue operating on a temporary basis while the City gains a better understanding of the outcome of the SLA process. The proposed agreement also preserves the City's flexibility by allowing either party to terminate the agreement upon 60 days' written notice.

Additionally, while the City and the California Fire Museum have taken steps to improve the Old Fire HQ, the facility remains largely vacant with ongoing maintenance issues that need to be addressed to ensure the visiting public’s safety.

1. SUBJECT
Approval of plans and specifications for Walnut Avenue at Orange Street Traffic Signal Installation and authorization to advertise for bids; and finding of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) exemption

2. SUMMARY
Plans and specifications have been completed, and the project is ready to be advertised for bids. The total estimated construction cost, including 20% for contingencies and construction engineering, is $589,956.

3. RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Approve the plans and specifications and authorize advertising for Bid No. 26-27.01 (SP- 4301), Walnut Avenue at Orange Street Traffic Signal Installation.

2. Find that the proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines 15301 (Class 1(c) - Existing Facilities).

4. FISCAL IMPACT
No General Fund impact. The estimated construction cost is approximately $589,956, including contingencies and construction engineering. Chapman University is funding 100% of the project costs pursuant to the payment agreement approved by the City Council in November 2024.

5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 5: Improve Infrastructure, Mobility, and Technology

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
The success of Chapman University has contributed to increased activity at the Walnut Avenue and Orange Street intersection, especially during peak periods and special events. Chapman University’s (“Chapman”) Anderson Parking Structure (“Anderson”) takes direct vehicle access through the Walnut Avenue and Orange Street intersection. Specifically, the Anderson’sdriveway comprises the intersection’ssouth “leg”.The Anderson is central to the Chapman Campus, serves thousands of commuter students daily, and is the primary parking facility for many athletic and special events.

In Fall 2023, Chapman proposed a new traffic signal at the Walnut and Orange intersection along with a proposal to fund its design and construction. To determine the appropriateness of a traffic signal at this location and ensure it would be operationally compatible with the existing traffic signal at the nearby Walnut Avenue and Glassell Street intersection, a focused traffic study was conducted in City of Orange Printed on 7/10/2026Page 1 of 2

Item #: 3.6. 7/14/2026 File #: 26-0409
the nearby Walnut Avenue and Glassell Street intersection, a focused traffic study was conducted in 2024. That study, funded by Chapman and administered by the City, indicated that a new traffic signal at the Walnut Avenue and Orange Street intersection was justified, could be expected to improve overall traffic flow and safety and, at the same time, be successfully programmed to work in tandem with the Walnut Avenue and Glassell Street signal.

The total project cost estimate is $589,956, including 20% for contingencies and construction engineering. At the time bids are received and actual bid prices are known, staff may request additional appropriations as needed to award the contract. Chapman University is fully funding all project phases through a payment agreement approved by City Council in November 2024.

Installation of the new traffic signal poles and associated hardware is expected to start in June 2027 due to long lead times for pole procurement. While waiting for the signal poles, certain construction activities may take place to maximize efficiency in project delivery. Furthermore, to minimize disruption to vehicular and pedestrian traffic during the Chapman University Fall and Spring semesters, construction work will be planned for weekends and periods of school recess.

After traffic signal poles are delivered, the project is expected to be complete within 45 calendar days. Specifications and cost estimates are available for review in the Public Works Department.

7. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Categorical Exemption: The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines 15301 (Class 1) because the project consists of the installation of a new traffic signal and related minor improvements within an existing public right-of-way, involving negligible or no expansion of existing roadway use. No public review is required.

At the time bids are received and actual bid prices are known, staff may request additional appropriations as needed to award the contract. Chapman University is fully funding all project phases through a payment agreement approved by City Council in November 2024.

Installation of the new traffic signal poles and associated hardware is expected to start in June 2027 due to long lead times for pole procurement. While waiting for the signal poles, certain construction activities may take place to maximize efficiency in project delivery. Furthermore, to minimize disruption to vehicular and pedestrian traffic during the Chapman University Fall and Spring semesters, construction work will be planned for weekends and periods of school recess.

After traffic signal poles are delivered, the project is expected to be complete within 45 calendar days. Specifications and cost estimates are available for review in the Public Works Department.

7. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Categorical Exemption: The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines 15301 (Class 1) because the project consists of the installation of a new traffic signal and related minor improvements within an existing public right-of-way, involving negligible or no expansion of existing roadway use. No public review is required.

Except in the event of a default described in Section 7 hereof, no payments willbe due and payable under this Note except to the extent of (a) the City's share of Residual Receipts as described in Section 8, below, and (b) any refinancing or Cost Savings, subject to the limitations set forth in Section Error! Reference source not found., below. 7 . The entire unpaid principal balance of this Note and any accrued but unpaid interest will be due and payable upon the expiration of the Term hereof, or immediately upon the occurrence of either of the following:
a. If the Properry or any portion thereof or interest therein is sold, transferred, assigned or refinanced, without the prior written approval of the City, except as otherwise permitted in this Note; or
b. If there is a default by the Borrower under the terms of this Note, the City Deed of Trust, the Affordable Housing Agreement, the Agreement Containing Covenants, or any deed of trust or other instrument securing the Senior Loan or other obligations secured by a deed of trust on the Property, which is not cured within the respective notice and cure period provided herein and therein.

8. Prior to the expiration of the Term hereof, Borrower will be obligated to repay the LMIHAF Loan exclusively from the City's share of Residual Receipts, as follows:
a. Annually, not later than the thirtieth (30rt) day of May, beginning with the year following the year in which Conversion occurs, Borrower will submit to City an audited Annual Financial Statement for the preceding calendar year, prepared by a certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to the City, determining the amount of Residual Receipts, if any, generated in that year, together with payment of the City's Share of such Residual Receipts. The first such Annual Financial Statement will be for the partial year beginning on the date of Conversion and ending on December 3l of that year. The City will review and approve such Annual Financial Statement, or request reasonable revisions, within 30 days after receipt. If as the result of the City's review of the statement, there is an increase in the amount of any payment due and payable to City (as the result, for example, of a determination that the actual amount of Residual Receipts to which the City is entitled exceeds the amount of City's Share of Residual Receipts shown in the Annual Financial Statement submitted by Borrower), Borrower will promptly pay to the City the difference, with interest, from the date on which such payment was 176
due, at the rate of one percent (1%) over the Prime Rate announced by Bank of America, but in any event within ten (10) days of notice of such increase. b. The City's Share of Residual Receipts shall be 50% of Residual Receipts, subject to apportionment to the extent required by the following: For so long as any of the RCC Loan, the County Loan and/or the Trust Fund Loan is outstanding, the City's Share of Residual Receipt shall be proportionately reduced such that the City shall receive a portion of the Residual Receipts equal to the ratio of the then outstanding amount of the LMIHAF Note and the then outstanding amount of the RCC Loan, the County Loan and the Trust Fund Loan (as applicable).

9. All payments applied to this Note will be applied first to penalties and late fees, then to interest, then to reduce the principal amount owed.

10. If there are Cost Savings with respect to the Project, subject to the requirements of the other Project lenders, the Ground Lessor and the Califomia Tax Credit Allocation Committee, the following will occur: (1) the Cost Savings shall first be applied to the payment of the Deferred Developer Fee; (2) then, to the extent of hfty percent (50%) of any remaining Cost Savings, said remaining Cost Savings will be used to pay accrued interest on and then reduction of the principal amount of the LMIHAF Loan. For purposes hereof, 'oCost Savings", shall mean the difference between the total sources of funds and the total cost of development as shown in the Borrower's cost certification contained in Borrower's application to the Califomia Tax Credit Allocation Committee for a Form 8609 for the Project ("Tax Credit Report"), or as reflected in a Revised Project Budget or Annual Project Budget submitted by Borrower and approved by the City; provided, however, the Cost Savings will be adjusted to take into account (i) the loss of any equity investment due to an adjustment in the allowable tax credits pursuant to Borrower's limited partnership agreement; and (ii) any reduction in the Senior Loans required by the Senior Loan Documents. The amount payable to City under this paragraph will be paid within sixty (60) days following Conversion.

I L Prohibitions on Transfer
a. Prior to the repayment in full of the LMIHAF Loan and expiration of the Term of the Agreement Containing Covenants, the Borrower must not, except for Permitted Transfers or as permitted by the Affordable Housing Agreement, assign or attempt to assign the Affordable Housing Agreement or this Note or any right therein or herein, nor make any total or partial sale, transfer, conveyance or assignment of the whole or any part of the Property (referred to hereinafter as a "Transfer"), u,ithout prior u,ritten approval of the City, except as expressly permitted by the Affordable Housing Agreement or this Note. Consent to one such transaction will not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require consent to future or successive transactions.

City shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent. If consent should be given, any such transfer shall be subject to this Section 11, and any such transferee shall assume all obligations hereunder and agree to be bound by all provisions contained herein. b. Proposed transferees (other than an Affiliate of Borrower or a General Partner reasonably approved by the City) must have the qualifications and financial responsibility necessary and adequate as may be reasonably determined by the City, to fulfill Borrower's 177
obligations underlaken in the Affordable Housing Agreement, the Agreement Containing Covenants, and this Note. A proposed transferee (including an Affiliate of Borrower), by instrument in writing satisfactory to the City and in form recordable among the land records, for itself and its successors and assigns, and for the benefit of the City must expressly assume all of Borrower's obligations under the Affordable Housing Agreement, the Agreement Containing Covenants, and this Note and agree to be subject to all conditions and restrictions applicable to Borrower. There must be submitted to the City for review all instruments and other legal documents proposed to affect any such transfer; and if approved by the City its approval will be indicated to Borrower in writing. If consent should be given, such transfer will be subject to this Section I 1.
c. In the absence of specific written agreement by the City, no unauthorized Transfer, or approval thereof by the City, will be deemed to relieve the Borrower or any other party from any obligations under the Affordable Housing Agreement, the Agreement Containing Covenants, or this Note.
d. In the event of a Transfer prior to the time the LMIHAF Loan is paid in full without the prior written consent of the City, the remaining principal balance of the LMIHAF Loan and all accrued but unpaid interest will be immediately due and payable. e. As used herein, "Transfer" means (other than in connection with a Permitted Transfer):
(i) The sale, agreement to sell, transfer or conveyance of the Property, the Project, or any portion thereof or interest therein (including, without limitation, a beneficial interest), whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, the execution of any installment sale contract or similar instrument affecting all or a portion of the Property or Project, or the lease of all or substantially all of the Property or Project. (iD "Transfer" also includes the transfer, assignment, hypothecation or conveyance of legal or beneficial ownership of an interest in Borrower, or a conversion of Borower to an entity form other than that of Borrower at the time of execution of the Affordable Housing Agreement, except that, a cumulative change in ownership interest of a general partner of Borrower of forty-nine percent (49%) or less will not be deemed a "Transfer" for purposes of this Note. Transfer shall not include routine changes in officers and/or board members.

12. The City will not unreasonably withhold, condition, or delay its approval of any matter for which its approval is required hereunder. The City's disapproval will be in writing and contain the City's reasons for disapproval.

13. The LMIHAF Loan is funded from the City's LMIHAF. Accordingly, Bonower agrees for itself, its successors and assigns that the use of the property will be subject to the restrictions on rent and occupancy set forth in the Agreement Containing Covenants.

14. Subject to the provisions and limitations of this Section 74,the obligation to repay the LMIHAF Loan is a nonrecourse obligation of the Borrower. Borrower and each general partner or limited parlner of Borrower will not have any personal liability for repayment of the loan, except 178
as provided in this Section 14. The sole recourse of City will be the exercise of its rights against the Property and other security for the LMIHAF Loan. Provided, however, that the foregoing will not (a) constitute a waiver of an obligation evidenced by this Note or the City Deed of Trust; (b) limit the right of the City to name Borrower as aparty defendant in any action or suit for judicial foreclosure and sale under this Note and the City Deed of Trust or any action or proceeding hereunder so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment will be asked for or taken against Borrower; (c) release or impair this Note or the City Deed of Trust; (d) prevent or in any way hinder the City from exercising, or constitute a defense, an affirmative defense, a counterclaim, or other basis for relief in respect of the exercise of, any other remedy against the mortgaged Properfy or other instrument securing the Note or as prescribed by law or in equity in case of default; (e) prevent or in any way hinder the City from exercising, or constitute a defense, an affirmative defense, a counterclaim, or other basis for relief in respect of the exercise of, its remedies in respect of deposits, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards or other monies or other collateral or letters of credit securing this Note; (f) relieve Borrower of its obligations under an indemnity delivered by Borrower to City; or (g) affect in any way the validity of a guarantee or indemnity from any person of all or any of the obligations evidenced and secured by this Note and the City Deed of Trust. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph are limited by the provision that in the event of the occurrence of a default, Borower and its successors and assigns will have personal liability hereunder for any deficiency judgment, but only if and to the extent Borrower, its principals, shareholders, partners or its successors and assigns received rentals, other revenues, or other payments or proceeds in respect of the mortgaged Property after the occurrence of such default, which rentals, other revenues, or other payments or proceeds have not been used for the payment of ordinary and reasonable operating expenses of the mortgaged Property, ordinary and reasonable capital improvements to the mortgaged Property, debt service, real estate taxes in respect of the mortgaged Property and basic management fees, but not incentive fees, payable to an entity or person unaffiliated with Borrower in connection with the operation of the mortgaged Property, which are then due and payable. Notwithstanding the hrst sentence of this paragraph, City may recover directly from Borrower or from any other party (other than Borrower's Investor Limited Partner):
a. Damages, costs and expenses incurred by the City as a result of fraud or criminal act or acts of Borrower or a partner, shareholder, officer, director or employee of Borrower, or of a member or general or limited partner of Borrower, or of a general or limited partner of such member or general or limited partner;
b. Damages, costs and expenses incurred by City as a result of misappropriation of funds provided for the payment of Acquisition and Development Costs, as described in the Affordable Housing Agreement, rents and revenues from the operation of the Project, or proceeds ofinsurance policies or condemnation proceeds; c. All amounts owing by Borrower pursuant to the indemnification regarding Hazardous Substances under the Environmental Indemnity, and d. All court costs and attorneys' fees reasonably incurred in enforcing or collecting upon any of the foregoing exceptions (provided that City will pay Borrower's reasonable 179
court costs and attorneys' fees if Borrower is the prevailing party in such enforcement or collection action).

15. Borrower waives presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notices of dishonor and of protest; the benefits of all waivable exemptions; and all defenses and pleas on the ground of an extension or extensions of the time of payment or of a due date under this Note, in whole or in part, whether before or after maturity and with or without notice. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attomey's fees, which may be incurred by the holder hereof, in the enforcement of this Note, the City Deed of Trust or any term or provision of either thereof.

16. Upon the failure of Borrower to perform or observe a term or provision of this Note, or upon the occurrence of an event of default under the terms of the City Deed of Trust, the Affordable Housing Agreement, the Agreement Containing Covenants, or a deed of trust securing a Senior Loan, or other obligations secured by a deed of trust on the Property, and after expiration of the applicable cure period, the holder may exercise its rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder.

17. Defaults and Remedies.
a. Subject to the extensions of time set forth in Section 18, and subject to the further provisions of this Section 17, failure or delay by Borrower to perform a material term or provision of this Note, the City Deed of Trust, the Affordable Housing Agreement, the Agreement Containing Covenants, or a deed of trust securing a Senior Loan, or other obligations secured by a deed of trust on the Property, constitutes a default under this Note. b. The City will give written notice of default to Borrower, specifuing the default complained of by the City. Delay in giving such notice will not constitute a waiver of any default nor will it change the time of default.
c. Failures or delays by the City in asserting its rights and remedies as to a default will not operate as a waiver of default or of such rights or remedies. Delays by the City in assefting its rights and remedies will not deprive the City of its right to institute and maintain actions or proceedings which it may deem necessary to protect, assert, or enforce such rights or remedies.
d. If a monetary event of default occurs under the terms of this Note or the City Deed of Trust, or a deed of trust securing a Senior Loan, or other obligations secured by a deed of trust on the Properfy, prior to exercising its remedies hereunder or thereunder the City will give Borrower, each general partner, and the Investor Limited Partner, concurrent written notice of such default. Borrower will have a reasonable period of time after such notice is given within which to cure the default prior to exercise of remedies by the City under this Note and the City Deed of Trust. ln no event will the City be precluded from exercising remedies if its security becomes or is about to become materially impaired by a failure to cure a default or the default is not cured within ten (10) calendar days after the notice of default is received or deemed received. 180
e. If a non-monetary event of default occurs under the terms of the Affordable Housing Agreement, this Note, the City Deed of Trust, the Agreement Containing Covenants, or a document implementing the Affordable Housing Agreement or a deed of trust securing a Senior Loan or other obligations secured by a deed of trust on the Properfy, prior to exercising its remedies hereunder or thereunder, the City will give Borrower, each General Partner, and the Investor Limited Partner, concurrent notice of such default. If the default is reasonably capable of being cured within thirty (30) calendar days after such notice is received or deemed received, Borrower rvill have such period to effect a cure prior to exercise of remedies by the City under the Affordable Housing Agreement, the Agreement Containing Covenants, this Note and/or the City Deed of Trust. If the default is such that it is not reasonably capable of being cured within thirty (30) days, and Borrower (i) initiates corrective action within said period, and (ii) diligently and in good faith works to effect a cure as soon as possible, then Borrower will have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure the default prior to the City's exercise of remedies, but not to exceed ninety (90) days from the notice of default. If Borrower fails to take corrective action or to cure the default within the time set forth above in this Subsection 17.e, the City will give Borrower, the Senior Lender, the Investor Limited Partner written notice thereof, whereupon the Investor Limited Partner, subject to the terms of Borrower's partnership agreement, may take such corrective action, including removing and replacing a general partner. The Investor Limited Partner will have 45 days, or such longer period as is approved by the City Manager or designee, to remove and replace such general partner of Borrower. The City agrees to accept cures tendered by a Senior Lender or the Investor Limited Partner within the time period provided herein. Additionally, in the event the Senior Lender, or Investor Limited Partner is precluded from curing a non-monetary default due to a bankruptcy, injunction, or similar proceeding by or against Borrower or a general partner, the City agrees to forbear from completing a foreclosure (udicial or nonjudicial) during the period during which such party is so precluded from acting, not to exceed 90 days or such additional time as is reasonably approved by the City Manager or designee, provided such Senior Lender or Investor Limited Partner is otherwise in compliance with the foregoing provisions. In no event rvill City be precluded from exercising remedies if its security becomes or is about to become materially jeopardized by a failure to cure a default or the default is not cured within one hundred eighty (180) days after the notice of default is received or deemed received or such additional time as is reasonably approved by the City Manager or designee. f. A notice of default that is transmitted by electronic facsimile transmission followed by delivery of a "hard" copy, will be deemed delivered upon its transmission; a notice of default that is personally delivered (including by means of professional messenger service, courier service such as United Parcel Service or Federal Express, or by U.S. Postal Service), will be deemed received on the documented date of receipt by Borrower; and a notice of default that is sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt required will be deemed received on the date of receipt thereof. Notices will be sent to the following addresses:

18. Notwithstanding specific provisions of this Note, Borrower r.vill not be deemed to be in default for failure to perform a non-monetary obligation hereunder where delays or defaults are due to war, insurrection, strikes, lock-outs, riots, floods, earthquakes, fires, casualties, acts of God, acts of the public enemy, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, freight embargoes, lack of 182
transportation, governmental restrictions or priority, litigation, unusually severe weather, inability to secure necessary labor, material or tools, delays of any contractor, sub-contractor or supplier, acts of the City or any other public or governmental authority or entity, or any causes beyond the control or without the fault of the Borrower. An extension of time for any such cause (a "Force Majeure Delay") will be for the period of the enforced delay and will commence to run from the time of the commencement of the cause, if notice by Borrower is sent to the City within fifteen (15) days of knowledge of the commencement of the cause. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the foregoing events will constitute a Force Majeure Delay unless and until Borrower delivers to the City written notice describing the event, its cause, when and how Borrower obtained knowledge, the date and the event commenced, and the estimated delay resulting therefrom.

Borrower will deliver such written notice within thirty (30) days after it obtains actual knowledge of the event. Times of performance under this Note may also be extended in writing by the City and Borrower, such revision approval may be denied by either party in its sole discretion.

19. If the rights created by this Note are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the obligations described herein, the remaining obligations must be completely performed and paid.

20. The City Deed of Trust securing this Note and all other LMIHAF Loan Documents, except the Agreement Containing Covenants and the Density Bonus Agreement, (i) have been made subordinate and junior to the claims, liens or charges of the Construction Loan Deed of Trust and all other instruments securing the Construction Loan by that certain Subordination Agreement by and among City, Borrower and Construction Lender which is being recorded concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Note and the recordation of the City Deed of Trust, and (ii) have been made subordinate and junior to the claims, liens or charges of the Secondary Loan Deed of Trust and all other instruments securing the Secondary Loan by that certain Subordination Agreement by and among City, Borrower and Secondary Lender which is being recorded concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Note and the recordation of the City Deed of Trust, and will also be subordinate and junior to the claims, liens or charges of the Petmanent Financing Deed of Trust securing Senior Loans and all other instruments securing the Permanent Financing involving Senior Loans.

21. The City agrees that the lien of the City Deed of Trust will be subordinate to the extended low-income housing commitment (as such term is defined in Section 42(hX6XB) of the Intemal Revenue Code) (the "Extended Use Agreement") recorded against the Project; provided that such Extended Use Agreement, by its terms, must terminate upon foreclosure under the City Deed of Trust or upon a transfer of the Project by instrument in lieu of foreclosure or comparable conversion of the Loan, in accordance with Section a2@)(6)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code. The following rule contained in Section a2@)(6)(Exii) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, will also apply: for a period of three (3) years from the date of foreclosure, with respect to any unit that had been regulated by the Extended Use Agreement, (i) none of the tenants occupying those units at the time of foreclosure may be evicted or their tenancy terminated (other than for good cause), (ii) nor may any rent be increased except as otherwise permitted under Section 42 of the Code. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that a default, event of default, or breach (however such terms may be defined) under the Extended Use Agreement will be an event of default under this Note and the City Deed of Trust and that all costs, damages or other 183
amounts, including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the City as a result of an event of default by Borrower, and all amounts paid by City to cure a default under the Extended Use Agreement will be an obligation of Borrower and become a part of the debt evidenced by this Note and secured by the City Deed of Trust.

22. With regard to an approval, consent, or other determination by the City required under this Note or the other LMIHAF Loan Documents, the City will act reasonably and in good faith.

23. Borrower will have the right to prepay the obligation evidenced by this Note, or any part thereof, without penalty. However, prepayment of the obligation evidenced by this Note prior to the expiration of the term of the Agreement Containing Covenants will not terminate or modify Borrower's obligations pursuant to the Agreement Containing Covenants or the Density Bonus Agreement.

24. This Note may be executed by each signatory on a separate signature page, and when the executed signature pages are combined, shall constitute one single instrument. [REMAINDER OF PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ORANGE ADDING CHAPTER 8.38 TO THE

ORANGE MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE

MAINTENANCE AND SECURITY STANDARDS FOR

WHEREAS, California Constitution, Article XI, Section 7, authorizes cities to make and enforce within its limits all local, police, sanitary, and other ordinances, and regulations not in conflict with general laws; and
WHEREAS, California Government Code section 38771 provides that legislative bodies of cities may declare what constitutes a nuisance; and
WHEREAS, California Government Code section 38772 et seq. further provides that legislative bodies of cities may also provide for the summary abatement of any nuisance at the expense of the persons creating, causing, committing, or maintaining it, and by ordinance may make the expense of abatement of nuisances a lien against the property on which the nuisance is maintained and a personal obligation against the property owner; and WHEREAS, California Health and Safety Code section 101450 authorizes the City Council to take measures necessary to preserve and protect public health, including the adoption of ordinances and regulations to address unsafe, unsecured, and nuisance conditions associated with unoccupied and abandoned properties; and
WHEREAS, the Legislature of the State of California, in adopting section 2929.3 of the California Civil Code (requiring owners of vacant residential property acquired at a foreclosure sale or by foreclosure under a mortgage or deed of trust to adequately maintain the property and to abate any violations threat) specifically provides that said section does not preempt any local ordinance; and
WHEREAS, Unoccupied or Abandoned Properties can be a major cause and source of blight in the City; and
WHEREAS, Unoccupied or Abandoned Properties that are not actively maintained or secured may pose a serious threat to public health and safety due to the secondary effects of criminal activity, vandalism, trespassing, graffiti, fire hazards, unsafe conditions, depressed surrounding property values, and reduced economic development; and WHEREAS, property owners are responsible for preventing their property from becoming a nuisance to the community and from creating a financial burden on City resources due to repeated responses by code enforcement, police, and fire services; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that Unoccupied or Abandoned Properties may create conditions that threaten the public health, safety, and welfare; and further finds that it is in the best interests of the City and its residents to ensure that all properties within the City are maintained to 188
2 reasonable standards through the adoption of a Maintenance and Security Standards for Unoccupied or Abandoned Properties Ordinance; and

8.38.020 Definitions.

If a term or phrase is not defined in this chapter, or elsewhere in this Code, the most common dictionary definition is presumed to be correct unless the context clearly requires otherwise. “Abandoned” or “Distressed” means any real property (Property) that is Vacant and meets any of the following conditions: (i) is under a current notice of default; (ii) is under a current notice of trustee’s sale; (iii) is pending a tax assessor’s lien sale; (iv) has been the subject of a foreclosure sale where the title was retained by the beneficiary of a deed of trust involved in the foreclosure; or (v) has been transferred under a deed in lieu of foreclosure. “Business Activity” means the lawful, continuous operation of a mixed-use, commercial, or industrial use within a structure, building or on a property for its intended and permitted purpose, as evidenced by customary ongoing activities, including the presence of employees, contractors, or customers during normal or posted business hours, the active offering of goods or services for sale, the maintenance of valid business licenses and required permits, the operation of utilities at levels consistent with occupancy, and the maintenance of inventory, equipment, furnishings, or fixtures appropriate to the business. Business activity shall not include sporadic or incidental use; pop up events or activities, temporary or vending permits; the mere storage or display of furniture, equipment, furnishings, fixtures or merchandise without active operations; maintenance of a business license without on-site activity; administrative use lacking regular physical occupancy (unless such use constitutes the primary permitted use); or any activity undertaken solely to avoid classification as a Unoccupied or Abandoned Property. “Evidence of Vacancy” means conditions existing on or around a Property including but not limited to overgrown and/or dead vegetation; accumulation of newspapers, circulars, flyers, and/or mail; past due utility notices and/or disconnected utilities; accumulation of trash, litter, junk, and/or other debris; the absence of window coverings such as curtains, blinds, and/or shutters; unsecured or broken doors or windows; the absence of commercial furnishings; statements by neighbors, passersby, delivery agents, and government employees or any other evidence that demonstrates that the Property is Vacant, Distressed, Unoccupied or Abandoned. “Owner” includes any person or entity having legal title to, or who leases, rents, occupies or has charge, control, or possession of any real Property in the City, including all persons listed as Owners on the last equalized assessment roll of the Orange County Assessor’s Office. Owners include persons with power of attorney, executors of estates, trustees, heirs, or court-appointed administrators, conservators, guardians, receivers, and any beneficiary and trustee who holds a deed of trust on a Property in the City.

Authorize purchase of medical supplies and medications from Life-Assist, Inc.

2. SUMMARY
Purchase of medical supplies and medications in the amount of $425,000 through an Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement, Master Agreement No. PS25830 with the League of Oregon Cities.

3. RECOMMENDED ACTION

225-3122-53101 Operating Materials & Supplies

5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 1: Maintain Strong Emergency and Safety Services

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
The Fire Department procures medical supplies from several vendors, with Life Assist, Inc. (Life Assist) representing the largest share of these purchases. Due to the continued increase in medical call volume and rising supply costs, the department anticipates the need for a purchase order with Life Assist in the amount of $425,000. These costs are funded through the EMT Transport Fund, and the medical supplies and medications administered in the field are typically reimbursed through patient billing.

Life Assist continues to provide the most competitive pricing through its extended cooperative purchasing opportunities. In November 2025, Life Assist was awarded a National Purchasing Partners (NPPGov) contract with the League of Oregon Cities (Master Agreement No. PS25830), which is valid through 2031. Through this agreement, Life Assist extends cooperative pricing to the City of Orange, ensuring the lowest available pricing for medical supplies and medications and providing cost stability throughout the contract term.

The Fire Department recommends that the City Council approve a blanket purchase order in the City of Orange Printed on 7/9/2026Page 1 of 2

225-3122-53101 Operating Materials & Supplies

5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 1: Maintain Strong Emergency and Safety Services

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
The Fire Department procures medical supplies from several vendors, with Life Assist, Inc. (Life Assist) representing the largest share of these purchases. Due to the continued increase in medical call volume and rising supply costs, the department anticipates the need for a purchase order with Life Assist in the amount of $425,000. These costs are funded through the EMT Transport Fund, and the medical supplies and medications administered in the field are typically reimbursed through patient billing.

Life Assist continues to provide the most competitive pricing through its extended cooperative purchasing opportunities. In November 2025, Life Assist was awarded a National Purchasing Partners (NPPGov) contract with the League of Oregon Cities (Master Agreement No. PS25830), which is valid through 2031. Through this agreement, Life Assist extends cooperative pricing to the City of Orange, ensuring the lowest available pricing for medical supplies and medications and providing cost stability throughout the contract term.

The Fire Department recommends that the City Council approve a blanket purchase order in the City of Orange Printed on 7/9/2026Page 1 of 2
