194
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:
(l) The apprenticeship standards and apprentice agreements under which he or she is training. (2) The rules and regulations of the Califomia 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 affange 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 uaft 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 ofjourneyman 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, 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 l2 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 ofjourneyman 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 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 Attachment No. I
Page l0 of 13
195
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 l -to-5 ratio required by subdivision (g).
O Upon proper showing by a contractor that he or she employs apprentices in a particular craft or trade in the state on all ofhis or her contracts on an annual average ofnot less than one hour ofapprentice work for every five hours of labor performed by journeymen, the Administrator of Apprenticeship may grant a certificate exempting the contractor from the I -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 l-to-5 ratio set forth in this section when it finds that any one of the following conditions is met:
( I ) Unemployment for the previous three-month period in the area exceeds an average of I 5 percent. (2) The number of apprentices in training in the area exceeds a ratio of I 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 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 I -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.
(mXl) 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. (2XA) 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:
Attachment No. I
Page ll of13
196
(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 ofany 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 solely for training apprentices. For purposes of this subparagraph, adequate records include, but are not limited to, invoices, receipts, and canceled checks that account forthe expenditure ofgrant 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 veri$ 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 Relations 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 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.

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 execution of the contract, and shall report them to the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement.
Section 1815. Overtime
Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections l8l0 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 hours per day at not less than I % times the basic rate of pay.

The previous contract for these services expired and was not renewed. In the interim, City staff have augmented these services while a new Request for Proposals was prepared and solicited. The scope of the new contract reflects current conditions within the service area, including increased pedestrian activity, expanded outdoor dining operations, continued restaurant growth, and rising public transit ridership. Under the proposed contract, outdoor dining areas will be cleaned on a weekly schedule, consistent with the requirements of the City's Outdoor Dining Permit Program, while all other designated service areas will be maintained on a monthly schedule. Work will generally be conducted from 6AM to 10AM, as work needs to be conducted during hours when there is low to no pedestrian traffic within the Plaza area.
A Request for Proposals (RFP) was publicly advertised for two weeks beginning May 21, 2026. Two proposals were received on June 4, 2026, as follows:
1. Hydroblast, Orange, CA $75,208
2. Premier Property Preservation, Van Nuys, CA $293,688 A rating panel comprised of three members of the Public Works Department evaluated the proposals in accordance with the selection criteria established in the RFP. The evaluation committee unanimously ranked Hydroblast as the highest-scoring firm. Hydroblast performed the steam cleaning services within this service area for many years as a subcontractor under the City's previous contract and has consistently demonstrated a high level of responsiveness, reliability, and quality performance. Hydroblast has also effectively accommodated special cleaning requests associated with City-sponsored events.

b. The City Manager is hereby authorized on behalf of the City to give written notice to the Contractor of the City’s intention to exercise each Extension (if at all) no later than thirty days prior to the end of the Expiration Date or the then expiring Extension; provided, however, that the City’s notice of its intension to extend the term of the Contract for each Extension shall be expressly conditioned upon and subject to the approval by the City Council, in its sole and absolute discretion, of an amount sufficient to pay the compensation set forth herein for each Extension as part of its annual budget approval process prior to the beginning of each Extension. While the parties 211
4 acknowledge that the City is required to give its notice of intention to extend the term of the Contract not later than thirty (30) days prior to the date that the initial term or then current Extension would otherwise end, it is possible that the City Council’s approval of its annual budget and appropriation of funds for the Extension in question ma y occur thereafter.

Moreover, in the event the City gives the Contractor written notice exercising an Extension and the City Council fails to appropriate funds sufficient to pay the amount of compensation for the Extension i n question after the Contractor has performed services under the Extension, the Contractor will be equitably compensated for all services performed under any portion of an Extension through the date of termination of the Contract.

Following the City’s exercise of its option to extend the term of this Agreement for the Second Extension Term the Compensation payable to the Contractor under the Contract shall be increased on the commencement date of the Second Extension Term to the lesser of:
(1) the product obtained by multiplying the monthly compensation payable to the Contractor for the month prior to the Expiration Date of the First Extension by the quotient obtained by dividing the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for July 2032 into the CPI for calendar month two (2) months before the Second Extensions; or (2) two percent (2%). In no event shall the increase for the Second Extension Term be greater than two percent (2%). The term “Consumer Price Index” or “CPI” means the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (All Items) as published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics for the Los Angeles/Riverside/Orange Counties metropolitan area.
d. Any Extension, if properly exercised, shall be memorialized in the form of an amendment to this Agreement. The City Manager is hereby authorized to approve and execute amendments to this Agreement reflecting the exercise of each Extension and the amount of compensation (including the amount of funds to be made available for additional work or services) payable to Contractor for each respective Extension.
11. Time Is of the Essence . Time is of the essence in this Agreement. Con tractor shall do all things necessary and incidental to the prosecution of Contractor's work.
12. Reserved.
13. Delays and Extensions of Time . Contractor's sole remedy for delays outside its control, other than those delays caused by City, shall be an extension of time. No matter what the cause of the delay, Contractor must document any delay and request an extension of time in writing at the time of the delay to the satisfaction of City. Any extensions granted shall be limited to the length of the delay outside Contractor’s control. If Contractor believes that delays caused by City will cause it to incur additional costs, it must specify, in writing, why the delay has caused additional costs to be incurred and the exact amount of such cost at the time the delay occurs.

2 NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ORANGE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I:
The existing zoning is depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and incorporated herein by reference. Section 17.06.030 of the Orange Municipal Code is amended in order to change the zoning classification by amending the zoning on the site as depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit “B” and incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION II:
1. The proposed Zone Change from Residential Single Family 10,000 square feet (R1- 10) to Single Family Residential 10,000 square feet – PUD No. 3203 (R1-10 [PUD 3203]) is consistent with the current Low Density Residential General Plan (LDR) land use designation, as required by law (Government Code Section 65860).
2. Table LU-3 in the General Plan Land Use Element indicates that the R1-10 residential zoning district is compatible with the LDR General Plan land use designation.
3. The R1-10 zoning and implementation of a Planned Unit Development allows for a more appropriate and scaled single-family residential development and physical development conditions that are generally compatible with the Single Family Residential 10,000 square foot (R1-10) zoning to the north and south, and Residential Single Family 6,000 square foot (R1-6) zoning to the east, and west across North Rancho Santiago Boulevard, which accommodates single-family residential uses. The zoning supports the pattern of residential development on all nearby surrounding property.
SECTION III:
The proposed Zone Change described in Section I is related to the public welfare, is consistent with the accompanying Tentative Tract Map No. 0052, Conditional Use Permit No. 3203, Design Review No. 5119, and Minor Site Plan Review No. 1137, filed herewith, and furthers the objectives and policies of the General Plan as is more specifically set forth in Resolution No. 11709, which is incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.
The proposed Zone Change from Residential Single Family 10,000 square feet (R1-10) to Single Family Residential 10,000 square feet – PUD No. 3203 (R1-10 [PUD 3203]) would make the proposed zoning classification consistent with the proposed General Plan land use designation.
The Project would meet all development standards for the R1-10 zone.
SECTION IV:
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan, or Zoning) because the project is consistent with 233
3 the existing General Plan density and zoning. An initial study was provided in justification to verify consistency with the existing certified General Plan EIR, and no environmental public review or notice is required for this exemption.
SECTION V:
If any section, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this Ordinance, and each section, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause and phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one (or more) section, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase had been declared invalid or unconstitutional.
SECTION VI:

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
SC Fuels offers a cooperative purchasing contract to acquire diesel and unleaded fuel.
The City of Orange utilized a cooperative purchase agreement to secure vehicle fuel pricing for an agreement with SC Fuels at the July 12, 2022, City Council Meeting. SC Fuels will honor the pricing structure that was established through the 2022 agreement, which is approximately $4.80 per gallon.
This pricing relies on the Oilfield Publication Information Service (OPIS), which fluctuates daily because fuel is a publicly traded commodity.
The agreement is for 12 months, starting July 1, 2026, and expiring June 30, 2027. The not-to- exceed amount of the contract will be $1,100,000 for Fiscal Year 2027, based on recent average fuel consumption.
SC Fuels supplies diesel and gasoline fuel to the City, and staff have determined they can continue meeting its needs. Staff will continue monitoring the cost to ensure the City gets the best value City of Orange Printed on 7/23/2026Page 1 of 2

1. SUBJECT
Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance No. 13-26 amending Chapter 12.48 of the Orange Municipal Code pertaining to a prohibition of smoking in City parks
2. SUMMARY
Proposed Ordinance No. 13-26 amends Chapter 12.48 of the Orange Municipal Code to prohibit smoking, vaping, and the use of tobacco products in all City-operated parks. The amendment is intended to promote public health, improve the recreational experience for park users, reduce tobacco-related litter and wildfire risk, and establish a clear, consistent, and enforceable standard throughout the City's park system. The proposed ordinance also aligns Orange with an increasing number of Orange County cities that have adopted similar smoke-free park regulations.
3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Introduce and conduct First Reading of Ordinance No. 13-26. An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Orange amending Chapter 12.48 of the Orange Municipal Code pertaining to parks to update sections related to smoking and vaping.
4. FISCAL IMPACT
None
5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 3: Enhance and Promote Quality of Life in the Community.
6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
At its February 10, 2026 meeting, the City Council directed staff to present the issue of smoking in City parks to the Park Planning and Community Events Commission for review and recommendation prior to returning to the Council with a proposed ordinance.
Orange Municipal Code Section 12.48.165(B), consistent with California law, currently prohibits smoking and vaping within 25 feet of playgrounds, recreational facilities, and youth sports activities.
Beyond these state-mandated restrictions, the City does not currently prohibit smoking in the remainder of its parks.
The proposed ordinance expands these protections by establishing a consistent prohibition City of Orange Printed on 7/23/2026Page 1 of 2
powered by Legistar™
293
Item #: 9.1. 7/28/2026 File #: 26-0296
The proposed ordinance expands these protections by establishing a consistent prohibition throughout all City-operated parks, regardless of the specific location or activity.
At the March 17, 2026 Commission meeting, the following options were presented:
1. Maintain Current Regulations (Status Quo)
Under this option, the City would continue to adhere to State law requirements without adopting additional local restrictions.
2. Designated Smoking Areas or Distance Requirements
Establish designated smoking areas within parks, increasing buffer distances from playgrounds, sports fields, picnic shelters, and other high-use areas or prohibit smoking in smaller parks.
3. Prohibit Smoking in All City Parks
Prohibit smoking, vaping, and use of tobacco products in all City operated parks, including open space, sports fields, and playgrounds.
Following discussion, the Commission voted 4-1 to recommend that the City Council prohibit smoking, vaping, and the use of tobacco products in all City-operated parks.
The proposed ordinance is also consistent with a growing number of Orange County jurisdictions that have adopted smoke-free park policies. According to the Orange County Tobacco Control Coalition's municipal tobacco control scorecard, many neighboring cities, including Buena Park, Costa Mesa, Cypress, Irvine, Laguna Beach, Santa Ana, Tustin, and others have adopted local ordinances restricting smoking in public parks and recreational areas. Adoption of Ordinance No. 13-26 would bring the City of Orange into closer alignment with these regional public health standards.
A uniform prohibition is also easier for park visitors to understand and for City staff to administer than regulations based on designated smoking areas or varying distance requirements. Establishing one consistent standard throughout all City-operated parks reduces ambiguity and improves voluntary compliance.
Ordinance No. 13-26 implements that recommendation by establishing a uniform prohibition applicable throughout the City's park system. The ordinance is intended to improve the health and safety of park visitors, reduce cigarette and vaping-related litter, minimize fire hazards, and enhance the overall recreational environment for residents and visitors.
If approved for First Reading, the ordinance will return to the City Council for Second Reading and adoption at a subsequent meeting and, if adopted, will become effective 30 days thereafter.
