Councilmember Yamaguchi thanked residents for their public comments and clarified many of the concerns raised, such as Old Town improvements, fuel options, and street conditions will be addressed during the upcoming Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and budget study session.

He also announced the Police Department’s Vacation Home Check program, which allows residents to request home checks while away by submitting a form at www.placentia.org/police .

Mayor Pro Tem Wanke reported attending the Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) Board meeting, the Orange County Power Authority. He addressed concerns about Old Town improvements, reported the City has added over 100 parking spaces, installed lighting and trees, and supported outdoor dining. He mentioned the City has invested significantly in the area, revitalization also depends on private property owners making improvements. He encouraged Old Town merchants to collaborate and bring forward ideas to further enhance the district.

Mayor Kirwin acknowledged the challenges of balancing diverse community needs and emphasized the City Council’s commitment to thoughtful decision-making. He reported his attendance at the Orange County Association of Governments (OCCOG) meeting on behalf of Councilmember Smith, where housing policy challenges were discussed.

Expense: $2,500 - Total Project Amount
Budget: $30,000 - FY 2024-25 Budget (101534-6053) Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City Council:

Communications Manager Drulias gave a presentation on the proposed branding for the City’s 2026 Centennial, including a tagline, logo options, and an updated City seal. The branding is intended to promote community engagement and sponsorship opportunities. The Centennial Steering Committee recommended the tagline “Rooted in Heritage, United in Community.” Two logo designs were reviewed, incorporating historical elements such as walnuts, oranges, the Bradford Bridge, and the Placentia water tower. Three color options for the updated City seal were presented: blue, red, and gold.

7 Placentia City Council/Successor Agency/ICDA/PPFA Minutes April 1, 2025 Page 7 of 9
A discussion ensued on the design considerations for digital and print use, merchandise compatibility, maintaining the City seal’s integrity, and suggested adjustments for logo compactness, color gradients, historical elements, and alignment with the national America 250 celebration.

City Council approved Logo Option B with minor revisions, the updated City seal with a blue ribbon for official use in 2026, and the tagline “Rooted in Heritage, United in Community.” Staff and the Centennial Steering Committee were directed to finalize designs, prepare marketing materials, and begin sponsorship outreach.

2.b FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM - STUDY SESSION NO. 2 Fiscal Impact:

The fiscal impact will be determined with final adoption of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 CIP Budget.

Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Receive and file the staff report and presentation; and

2. Provide direction to staff regarding the proposed fuel storage tank options; and

3. Provide direction to staff regarding allocation of Measure U funding. (Approved 4-1, to take no action on the underground storage tank (UST) project and approve Measure U funding for Scenario 2 street rehabilitation, Yamaguchi voted no) Public Works Director Tanio provided a summary from the February 18, 2025, Study Session, which included projected funding and critical projects. City Council directed Staff to allocate Measure U funds to the Golden Avenue Bridge and requested additional information on the UST project and street rehabilitation priorities.

Public Works Manager Samantha Byfield outlined options for removing underground fuel tanks, required by State law by Dec. 31, 2025 (penalties up to $5,000/day; removal cost $222,000). Off-site fueling would avoid $880,000 in capital costs but add about $72,000 annually and reduce reliability. Installing a new 10,000-gallon split tank at the City Yard offers bulk fuel savings, secure emergency supply, and long service life. Staff recommended removal and installation of new tanks at the yard, with off-site options as backup.

Deputy Public Works Director Gabriel Guerrero‑Gabany presented options for the FY 2024–25 streets project (construction in FY 2025–26), focusing on Priority Area 3. Full treatment would cost $8.7M.

Scenario 1 uses external funds (SB 1, Measure M) for a $2.6M budget, rehabilitating about 350,000 sq. ft.

Scenario 2 adds $2.3M in freed Measure U funds for a $5M budget, enabling 400,000 sq. ft. of slurry and 650,000 sq. ft. of rehabilitation (estimated $4.3M). Staff recommended adopting Scenario 2 and incorporating it into the FY 2025–26 CIP budget.

A discussion ensued, City Council directed Staff to return with a full cost, risk, and emergency‑reliability analysis before making a decision on the underground storage tank.

City Council questioned whether deferring other CIP projects (e.g., city facilities, fire station, police improvements, and sewers) would create near‑term public safety risks and asked about timing for specific streets such as Palm Drive. Staff indicated all listed projects were needed but none were immediate emergencies.

Motion by Wanke, seconded by Smith, approved by a 4-1 vote, to take no action on the UST project and approve Scenario 2 on the allocation of Measure U funds for street rehabilitation, Yamaguchi voted no.

2.c EVENT FEE WAIVER REQUEST AND RESOLUTION NO. 2025-09, AUTHORIZING THE
