Subject:

SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. O-2026-07, AN ORDINANCE

OF THE CITY OF PLACENTIA, CALIFORNIA, ADDING TO PLACENTIA MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 13.77 (ELECTRIC BICYCLES AND ELECTRIC MOBILITY DEVICES) TO TITLE 13 (VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC)
Financial Impact:

None.

Summary:

The proposed ordinance adds Chapter 13.77 to the Placentia Municipal Code to regulate the operation of electric bicycles (e -bikes) and other electric mobility devices within the City. The ordinance is intended to address increasing safety concerns related to the growing use of these devices, particularly in parks, school zones, sidewalks, and commercial areas. The ordinance provides clear definitions, establishes operational rules, sets speed limits, designates permissible areas of use, and outlines enforcement mechanisms, including the potential seizure and release requirements.

After the first reading and after review, amendments were made to the ordinance regarding specific verbiage as it pertains to electric scooters.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended that the City Council:

Strategic Plan Statement:

This item conforms to Strategic Plan Goal No. 2: Public Safety, to provide a safe, family - friendly environment through proactive policing, efficient fire and emergency medical services, disaster preparedness, and strong community partnerships that protect residents, businesses and visitors.

Discussion:

The use of electric bicycles (e -bikes) and other electric mobility devices has increased significantly throughout the City, providing transportation and recreational benefits while also 22 creating safety concerns related to speed, unsafe riding behavior, and conflicts with pedestrians and motorists.

The proposed ordinance would establish clear, locally enforceable regulations governing the operation of electric mobility devices within the City, including operational requirements, speed limits, permitted areas of operation, helmet requirements, and prohibitions on unsafe riding behavior. The ordinance also clarifies regulations related to electric scooters and different classes of e -bikes.

Additionally, the ordinance includes enforcement provisions, administrative citations, and limited seizure authority involving minors operating devices in an unsafe manner. The proposed regulations are intended to improve public safety while remaining consistent with applicable California Vehicle Code provisions.

Following review and public discussion of the proposed Electric Bicycles and Electric Mobility Devices Ordinance, revisions were made to further clarify the applicability of the ordinance to electric scooters and other electric mobility devices in addition to electric bicycles.

The updated language adds a specific definition for "electric scooter," consistent with California Vehicle Code terminology, and revises the definition of "electric mobility device" to expressly include motorized and electric scooters.

Additional revisions clarify where electric scooters may operate within the City. The ordinance now specifies that electric scooters must comply with applicable California Vehicle Code requirements when operated on roadways and sidewalks, and expressly prohibits electric scooters on City -owned recreational trails and multi -use paths unless otherwise authorized by posted signage.

The revised ordinance also expands enforcement provisions involving minors by extending seizure authority from electric bicycles only to all electric mobility devices, including electric scooters, when operated in a manner that creates an immediate or substantial public safety risk.

These revisions are intended to provide clearer operational standards, improve enforceability, and ensure electric scooters are regulated consistently with other electric mobility devices throughout the City.

Financial Summary:

The adoption of this Ordinance has no fiscal impact on the City of Placentia.

PLACENTIA CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: May 19, 2026
Submitted by: Matthew Di Mario
From: Public Works
Subject:

RESOLUTION RELATING TO FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 ANNEXATIONS AND LEVY OF ASSESSMENTS TO THE CITY OF PLACENTIA STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 81-1 AND SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING FOR JUNE 2, 2026 AT 6:00 P.M.

Financial Impact:

None.

Summary:

Each year, the City must conduct a public hearing to provide for the Levy of Assessments for the City of Placentia Street Lighting District ("SLD") No. 81-1 (the "District"), prepare a final Engineer's Report, and provide for any annexations into the District as proposed. This action will adopt resolutions necessary to set forth a public hearing for June 2, 2026, to provide for the Fiscal Year ("FY") 2026-27 Annual Levy of Assessments for SLD No. 81-1 as well as finalize the annual Engineer's Report.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended that the City Council:

Strategic Plan Statement:

There is no specific strategic planning goal or objective associated with this agenda item.

Discussion:

The City Council adopted Resolution No. 81-R-133 on June 2, 1981, establishing SLD No. 81- 1 pursuant to provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Division 15 of the Streets and Highway Code. SLD 81-1 was created to generate revenue to pay for the electric utility costs for 814 streetlights located along arterial streets throughout the City. SLD No. 81-1 is divided into five (5) assessment zones. Zone A is made up of residential parcels. Zone B 42 consists of commercial and industrial parcels. Zone C, which includes parcels from the former Santa Fe Lighting District No. 1, no longer exists and has been folded into Zone B. Zone D includes parcels with a recorded tentative or final map that are not yet developed or multifamily parcels. Lastly, Zone E includes open space, streets, or landscaped parcels and is exempt from the assessment. The assessment rate charged varies by zone. Zone A properties pay $27.38 per parcel per year. Zone B pays $164.28 per acre, and Zone C properties pay a rate of $8.21 per unit.

The legal authority for setting the assessments in SLD No. 81-1 is set forth in the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 found in Streets and Highways Code Section 22500, et seq., and pertinent provisions of the California Government Code. The annual levy is for providing street lighting and means of assessment for maintenance in those existing and newly developing properties designated on the Boundary Map of the District, which is on file in the offices of the City Engineer and City Clerk. The FY 2025-26 Engineer's Report is included as a reference (Attachment 3). A final annual Engineer's Report will be prepared and presented to the City Council for its consideration.

SLD No. 81-1 is exempt from, and not subject to, the procedures and approval processes set forth in Article XIII D, Section 4 of the California Constitution enacted by Proposition 218 on November 5, 1996. The reason SLD No. 81-1 is not subject to Proposition 218 can be attributed to the fact that Proposition 218 also enacted Article XIII D, Sections 5 and 5(b) which exempted assessment districts formed prior to November 6, 1996, and which were formed pursuant to a petition signed by those owning all the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed. This exemption is contingent on there being no increase in the amount assessed on a property owner in a category from the prior year.

Since SLD No. 81-1 was formed prior to November 6, 1996, pursuant to a petition signed by those owning all the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed, the District is exempt from the procedures and approval process set forth by Proposition 218.

Two (2) resolutions have been prepared for City Council consideration. The first resolution (Attachment 1) orders the preparation of an Engineer's Report to include the plans, specifications, cost estimate, and diagram of the landscape improvements. The second resolution (Attachment 2) declares the Council's intention to provide for the annual levy and collection of assessments, as well as establishing June 2, 2026, as the public hearing date.

Financial Summary:

For FY 2026-27, LMD No. 92-1 will have an estimated $197,245 in expenditures and a projected assessment revenue of $142,469. This negative balance of $54,776 is backfilled by the General Fund. SLD 81-1 has operated at a deficit for numerous years because of the limited ability to increase assessment rates to relieve the annual General Fund Contribution to the District.

Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26

INTRODUCTION
The City of Placentia (the "City") serves and maintains streetlights and associated improvements (the "Improvements") in certain parts of the City. In order to fund the maintenance and operation (the "Services") of these projects and improvements, the City has formed Street Lighting District No. 81-1 ("District"). This Engineer's Report ("Report") was prepared to establish the budget for maintenance and operation of the Improvements (as described below) that will be funded by the 2025-26 assessments and other revenue, and to determine the general and special benefits received from the Improvements by property within the District and the method of assessment apportionment to lots and parcels. This Report and the assessments have been made pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the "Act") and Article XIIID of the California Constitution (the "Article").

ENGINEER'S REPORT AND CONTINUATION OF ASSESSMENTS
The assessment has been continued for over 30 years. In each subsequent year for which the assessments will be continued, the Placentia City Council (the "Council") must direct the preparation of an Engineer's Report, budgets, and proposed assessments for the upcoming fiscal year. After the report is completed, the City Council may preliminarily approve the Engineer's Report and the continued assessments and establish the date for a public hearing on the continuation of the assessments. Accordingly, this Engineer's Report (the "Report") was prepared pursuant to the direction of the City Council.

As required by the Act, this Report includes plans and specifications, a diagram or map of the District, the benefits received by property from the Improvements within the District, and the method of assessment apportionment to lots and parcels within the District.

If the Council approves this Engineer's Report and the continuation of the Assessments by resolution, a notice of public hearing must be published in a local newspaper at least 10 days prior to the date of the public hearing. The resolution preliminarily approving the Engineer's Report and establishing the date for a public hearing is typically used for this notice.

Following the minimum 10 -day period after publishing the notice, a public hearing is held for the purpose of allowing public testimony about the proposed continuation of the Assessments. This hearing is currently scheduled for June 17, 2025. At this hearing, the Council will consider approval of a resolution confirming the continuation of the

Page 5 of 25 ends

City of Placentia
Street Lighting District No. 81-1
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26
Assessments for Fiscal Year 2025-26. If so confirmed and approved, the Assessments would be submitted to the Orange County Auditor/Controller for inclusion on the property tax rolls for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT BACKGROUND
Street Lighting District No. 81-1 was formed in 1981. Prior to that, the County of Orange had established and maintained street lighting assessment districts within the City of Placentia. After the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978, the County decided to cease annexations to its existing districts. In response to that, the City formed its own district (No. 81-1) to allow for future development to be included in an assessment district providing street lighting services.

The portions of the City previously included in the County's street light assessment remained under the County's jurisdiction until 1996, when the City took over management of those areas. However, they were not annexed into District No. 81-1, and continue to be funded and operated separately from the District. Therefore, those areas and the parcels therein are not included in this report or the assessment calculations herein.

LEGISLATIVE ANALYSIS
PROPOSITION 218
The Right to Vote on Taxes Act was approved by the voters of California on November 6, 1996, and is now Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution. Proposition 218 provides for benefit assessments to be levied to fund the cost of providing services and improvements, as well as maintenance and operation expenses to a public improvement which benefits the assessed property.

SILICON VALLEY TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION, INC. V SANTA CLARA COUNTY OPEN SPACE AUTHORITY (2008) 44 CAL. 4TH 431
In July of 2008, the California Supreme Court issued its ruling on the Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association, Inc. v. Santa Clara County Open Space Authority ("SVTA"). This ruling is significant in that the Court clarified how Proposition 218 made changes to the determination of special benefit. The Court also found that:
• Benefit assessments are for special benefits to property, not general benefits. • The services and/or improvements funded by assessments must be clearly defined.

Page 6 of 25 ends

City of Placentia
Street Lighting District No. 81-1
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26
• Assessment districts must be drawn to contain all parcels that receive a special benefit from a proposed public improvement.
• Assessments paid in each assessment district must be proportional to the special benefit received by each such parcel from the improvements and services funded by the assessment.

This Engineer's Report and the process used to establish the continuation of the assessments for Fiscal Year 2025-26 are consistent with the SVTA decision and with the requirements of Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution based on the following factors:

1. The District is drawn to include the entire City; although only parcels deriving special benefits are included in the assessment rolls. Thus, zones of benefit are not required and the assessment revenue derived from real property in the District is extended only on the Improvements in the District.

2. The Improvements which are constructed and maintained with assessment proceeds in the District are located in close proximity to the real property subject to the assessment. The Improvements provide illumination to streets and sidewalks enabling improved access to the residents of such assessed property. The proximity of the Improvements to the assessed parcels and the improved access and increased safety provided to of the residents of the assessed parcels by the Improvements provides a special benefit to the parcel being assessed pursuant to the factors outlined by the Supreme Court in that decision.

3. Due to their proximity to the assessed parcels, the Improvements financed with assessment revenues in the District benefit the properties in that District in a manner different in kind from the benefit that other parcels of real property in the City derive from such Improvements, and the benefits conferred on such property in the District are more extensive than a general increase in property values.

4. The assessments paid in the District are proportional to the special benefit that each parcel within that Assessment District receives from the Improvements because:

Page 7 of 25 ends

City of Placentia
Street Lighting District No. 81-1
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26
a. The specific lighting Improvements and maintenance and utility costs thereof in the District and the costs thereof are specified in this Report; and

5. Such Improvement and maintenance costs in the District are allocated among different types of property located within the District, and equally among those properties which have similar characteristics, such as single-family residential parcels, multi -family residential parcels, commercial parcels, industrial parcels, etc.

DAHMS V. DOWNTOWN POMONA PROPERTY (2009) 174 CAL. APP. 4TH 708
On June 8, 2009, the 4th Court of Appeal amended its original opinion upholding a benefit assessment for property in the downtown area of the City of Pomona in Dahms v.

Downtown Pomona Property ("Dahms"). On July 22, 2009, the California Supreme Court denied review. In Dahms the Court upheld an assessment that was 100% special benefit (i.e. 0% general benefit) on the rationale that the services and improvements funded by the assessments were directly provided to property in the assessment district. The Court also upheld discounts and exemptions from the assessment for certain properties.

BONANDER V. TOWN OF TIBURON (2009) 180 CAL. APP. 4TH 103 On December 31, 2009, in Bonander v. Town of Tiburon ("Bonander"), the 1st District Court of Appeal overturned a benefit assessment approved by property owners to pay for placing overhead utility lines underground in an area of the Town of Tiburon. The Court invalidated the assessments primarily on the grounds that the assessments had been apportioned to assessed property based in part on relative costs within sub -areas of the assessment district instead of the overall cost of the improvements and the overall proportional special benefits.

BEUTZ V. COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE (2010) 184 CAL. APP. 4TH 1516 On May 26, 2010 the 4th District Court of Appeals issued a decision in the Steven Beutz V. County of Riverside ("Beutz"). This decision overturned an assessment for park maintenance in Wildomar, California, primarily because the general benefits associated with improvements and services was not explicitly calculated, quantified and separated from the special benefits.

GOLDEN HILL NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION V. CITY OF SAN DIEGO (2011) 199 CAL. APP. 4TH 416

Page 8 of 25 ends

City of Placentia
Street Lighting District No. 81-1
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26
On September 22, 2011, the San Diego Court of Appeal issued a decision on the Golden Hill Neighborhood Association v. City of San Diego appeal. This decision overturned an assessment for street and landscaping maintenance in the Greater Golden Hill neighborhood of San Diego, California. The court described two primary reasons for its decision. First, like in Beutz, the court found the general benefits associated with services were not explicitly calculated, quantified, and separated from the special benefits.

Second, the court found that the City had failed to record the basis for the assessment on its own parcels.

COMPLIANCE WITH CURRENT LAW
This Engineer's Report is consistent with the requirements of Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution and with the SVTA decision because the Improvements to be funded are clearly defined; the Improvements are directly available to and will directly benefit property in the District; and the Improvements provide a direct advantage to property in the District that would not be received in absence of the Assessments.

This Engineer's Report is consistent with Beutz, Dahms and Greater Golden Hill because the Improvements will directly benefit property in the District and the general benefits have been explicitly calculated and quantified and excluded from the Assessments. The Engineer's Report is consistent with Bonander because the Assessments have been apportioned based on the overall cost of the Improvements and Services and proportional special benefit to each property, rather than the proportional cost to the District to provide the Improvements to specific properties.

A. The Act requires that proceeds from the assessments must be deposited into a special fund that has been set up for the revenues and expenditures of the District. Moreover, funds raised by the assessment shall be used only for the purposes stated within this Report. Any balance remaining at the end of the Fiscal Year, June 30, must be carried over to the next Fiscal Year. The District may also establish a reserve fund for contingencies and special projects as well as a capital improvement fund for accumulating funds for larger capital improvement projects or

Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26
capital renovation needs. Any remaining balance would either be placed in the reserve fund, the capital improvement fund, or would be used to reduce future years' assessments.

B. The rate shown here is for an Assessment Unit (single family home or its equivalent). For the definition of the term AU and rates for other types of property, see the section titled, "Method of Assessment" and the sections following it in this report.

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT APPORTIONMENT
This section of the Engineer's Report includes an explanation of the benefits to be derived from the installation, maintenance and servicing of the Improvements throughout the District and the Assessment methodology used to apportion the total Assessment to properties within the Assessment District.

The District consists of certain assessor parcels within the boundaries as defined by the Assessment Diagram referenced in this report and the parcels identified by the Assessor Parcel Numbers listed with the levy roll. The parcel list includes all privately and publicly owned parcels as shown. The method used for apportioning the Assessment is based on the proportional special benefits to be derived by the properties in the District over and above general benefits conferred on real property or to the public at large. The apportionment of special benefit is a two-step process: the first step is to identify the types of special benefit arising from the Improvements, and the second step is to allocate the Assessments to property based on the estimated relative special benefit for each type of property.

DISCUSSION OF BENEFIT
In summary, the Assessments can only be levied based on the special benefit to property.

This benefit is received by property over and above any general benefits. With reference to the requirements for assessments, Section 22573 of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements." Proposition 218, as codified in Article XIIID of the California Constitution, has confirmed that assessments must be based on the special benefit to property and that the value of the special benefits must exceed the cost of the assessment:
"No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel." The following benefit categories summarize the types of special benefit to residential, commercial, industrial, and other lots and parcels resulting from the Improvements to be

Page 14 of 25 ends

City of Placentia
Street Lighting District No. 81-1
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26
provided with the assessment proceeds. These types of special benefit are summarized as follows:

A. Creation of individual lots for residential and commercial use that, in absence of the Assessments, would not have been created.

B. Improved visibility and safety
C. Improved access
D. Improved community character and vitality

SPECIAL BENEFIT
The special benefits from the Improvements are further detailed below:

CREATION OF INDIVIDUAL LOTS FOR RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL

USE THAT, IN ABSENCE OF THE ASSESSMENTS, WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN

CREATED
In most of the District, the original owner/developer(s) of the property within the District agreed unanimously to the Assessments. The Assessments provide the necessary funding for public improvements that were required as a condition of development and subdivision approval. Therefore, such Assessments allowed the original property to be subdivided and for development of the parcels to occur. As parcels were sold, new owners were informed of the Assessments through the title reports, and in some cases, through Department of Real Estate "White Paper" reports that the parcels were subject to assessment. Purchase of property was also an "agreement" to pay the Assessment.

Therefore, in absence of the Assessments, the lots within most of the District would not have been created. These parcels, and the improvements that were constructed on the parcels, receive direct advantage and special benefit from the Assessments.

IMPROVED VISIBILITY AND SAFETY
Well maintained, effective street lighting provides a special benefit to proximate parcels, within the range of the light, because it allows for safer and improved use of the property in the evenings and at night. Street lighting provides special benefits as it increases neighborhood safety and reduces the likelihood of crime on the proximate parcels. Over time, the Improvements continue to confer a particular and distinct special benefit upon parcels within the District because of the nature of the Improvements. The proper maintenance of the streetlights and appurtenant facilities reduces property -related crimes, especially vandalism, against assessed properties in the District.

Page 15 of 25 ends

City of Placentia
Street Lighting District No. 81.-1
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26

IMPROVED ACCESS
Well maintained, effective street lighting enhances ingress, egress and accessibility of all forms to the assessed parcels in the evening and at night by increasing visibility. Improved visibility also helps prevent local and pedestrian traffic accidents related to the assessed parcels.

IMPROVED COMMUNITY CHARACTER AND VITALITY
WeII maintained, effective street lighting promotes evening and nighttime social interaction of residents and customers of businesses and industry. This creates a positive atmosphere and enhances the community image in the evening and at night for the assessed parcels.

All of the above -mentioned items also contribute to a specific enhancement to each of the parcels within the District. The proximate streetlights clearly make each parcel safer, more visible, more accessible, more useful, more valuable, and more desirable; and this further strengthens the basis of these Assessments.

GENERAL VERSUS SPECIAL BENEFIT
The proceeds from the District are used to fund Improvements and increased levels of maintenance to the public facilities that serve and benefit the assessed properties in the District. In absence of the District, such Improvements would not be properly maintained.

Therefore, the District's purpose is to ensure that the necessary and beneficial public facilities for property in the District are properly maintained and repaired over time. The assessments will ensure that street lighting and associated improvements within and adjacent to the District are functional, well maintained and safe. These public resources directly benefit the property in the District and will confer distinct and special benefits to the assessed properties within the District. Moreover, in absence of assessments, a condition of development would not be met and future construction in the District could be denied. The creation of individual lots, if any, and the approval for construction in the District, is the overriding clear and distinct special benefit conferred exclusively on property in the District and not enjoyed by other properties outside the District. Therefore, the assessments solely provide special benefit to assessed property in the District over and above the general benefits conferred to the public at large or properties outside the District.

Although the Improvements maintained by the Services may be available to the general public at large, the Improvements and Services are specifically designed, located and

Page 16 of 25 ends

City of Placentia
Street Lighting District No. 81-1
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26
created to provide additional and improved resources for property inside the District, and not the public at large. Other properties that are outside the District do not enjoy the unique proximity and other special benefit factors described previously. These Improvements and Services are of special benefit to properties located within the District because they provide a direct advantage to properties in the District that would not be provided in absence of the Assessments. Any general benefits to surrounding properties outside of the District, if any there were, are collateral and conferred concomitantly.

QUANTIFICATION OF GENERAL BENEFIT
Although the analysis used to support these assessments concludes that the benefits are solely special, as described above, consideration is made for the suggestion that a portion of the benefits are general. General benefits cannot be funded by these assessments — the funding must come from other sources.

The maintenance and servicing of these improvements is also partially funded, directly and indirectly from other sources including the City of Placentia, Orange County, and the State of California. This funding comes in the form of grants, development fees, special programs, and general funds, as well as direct maintenance and servicing of other co - located facilities (e.g., curbs, gutters, streets, drainage systems, etc.). This funding from other sources more than compensates for general benefits, if any, received by the properties within the District.

In the 2009 Dahms case, the court upheld an assessment that was 100% special benefit on the rationale that the services funded by the assessments were directly provided within the assessment district. It is also important to note that the improvements and services funded by the assessments in Pomona are similar to the improvements and services funded by the Assessments described in this Engineer's Report, and the Court found these improvements and services to be 100% special benefit. Also similar to the assessments in Pomona, the Assessments described in this Engineer's Report fund Improvements and Services directly provided within the District, and every benefiting property in the District enjoys proximity and access to the Improvements. Therefore, Dahms establishes a basis for minimal or zero general benefits from the Assessments STEP 1 — CACULATE THE GENERAL BENEFIT
The General Benefits from this assessment may be quantified as illustrated in the following table.

As a result, the City of Placentia will contribute at least 2.5% of the total budget from sources other than the assessment. This contribution offsets any general benefits from the Assessment Services.

STEP 2 — CALCULATE THE CURRENT GENERAL BENEFIT CONTRIBUTION

FROM THE CITY
This general benefit contribution is the sum of the following components:

The City of Placentia owns, maintains, rehabilitates, and replaces curb and gutter along the border of the District improvements. This curb and gutter serve to support, contain, retain, manage irrigation flow and growth, and provide a boundary for the Improvements.

The contribution from the City of Placentia towards general benefit from the maintenance, rehabilitation, and replacement of the curb and gutter is conservatively estimated to be 1%.

The City of Placentia owns and maintains a storm drainage system along the border of District Improvements. This system serves to prevent flooding and associated damage to the improvements and manage urban runoff including local pollutants loading from the Improvements. The contribution from the City of Placentia towards general benefit from the maintenance and operation of the local storm drainage system is conservatively estimated to be 1%.

Page 18 of 25 ends

City of Placentia
Street Lighting District No. 81-1
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26
The City of Placentia owns and maintains local public streets along the border of the District Improvements. These public streets provide access to the Improvements for its enjoyment as well as efficient maintenance. The contribution from the City of Placentia towards general benefit from the maintenance of local public streets is conservatively estimated to be 1%.

The value of the construction of the improvements can be quantified and monetized as an annuity. Since this construction was performed and paid for by non -assessment funds, this "annuity" can be used to offset general benefit costs and is conservatively estimated to contribute 10%.

Therefore, the total General Benefit is conservatively quantified at 2.5% which is more than offset by the total non -assessment contribution towards general benefit of 13%.

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
The development of an Assessment methodology requires apportioning to determine the relative special benefit for each property. As the District was formed by a different engineer of record, the precise language from the most recent Engineer's Report is included below:

The methodology used fairly distributes the cost of the street lighting system in relation to the benefits received. For Fiscal Year 2024-25 there are 3, 696 parcels of property in the District, grouped into one of three benefit zones for assessment purposes. The District was originally established with five benefit zones (A though E) to distinguish variations in benefit. However, Zone C is no longer applicable.

The five benefit zones originally established for the District include the following:

Zone A: Single Family residential, whether detached or condominium.

Zone B: Commercial, industrial, churches, apartments, etc., either developed or in process of development.

Zone C: Parcels in the former Santa Fe Lighting District No. 1. This zone designation was originally established to distinguish specific non-residential parcels that were previously part of the Santa Fe Lighting District No. 1 and were annexed to this District. Originally, the assessments for these parcels included a temporary loan. The loan recoupment has been satisfied and these parcels are now included as part of Zone B.

Page 19 of 25 ends

City of Placentia
Street Lighting District No. 81-1
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26
Zone D: Parcels that have a recorded tentative or final map, but are not yet developed.

Zone E: Open Space, street areas, or landscape strip parcels are considered to receive no benefit. Parcels within this zone are exempt from assessment.

The basic methodology of apportionment developed for this District in 1981-82 is based on assessment unit. This methodology assigns each residential parcel in Zone A one assessment unit (AU). The relationship between residential parcels in Zone A and acreage parcels in Zone B was established at a six to one ratio based on general density figures for the City. Zone C originally designated parcels that were part of the former Santa Fe Street Lighting District No. 1. The assessments for parcels in Zone C originally included the conversion improvement costs associated with these parcels and were spread over a two-year period. These conversion costs have been satisfied and the Zone C parcels are now included in Zone B. Zone C has been eliminated. Zone D designates parcels where the final tract or parcel maps have been approved and recorded, however construction is not yet in progress. This zone is assessed at 30% of one assessment unit per parcel or proposed parcels based on the approved tract map, whichever is the greater of the two. i

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT CALCULATION
For Fiscal Year 2025-26, the rate of Assessments for the District is not increased from prior years. The Calculations for maintenance, service and incidentals follows:

Because they are exempt from assessment, there is no effect on the assessment apportionment calculations.

DURATION OF ASSESSMENT
The District was formed or annexed in previous years. It is proposed that the Assessments be continued every year after their formation or annexation, so long as the public Improvements need to be maintained and improved, and the City requires funding from the Assessments for these Improvements in the Assessment Districts. As noted previously, the Assessment can continue to be levied annually after the City Council approves an annually updated Engineer's Report, budget for the Assessment, Improvements to be provided, and other specifics of the Assessment. In addition, the City Council must hold an annual public hearing to continue the Assessment.

Agenda Item No: 1.f

PLACENTIA CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: May 19, 2026
Submitted by: Matthew Di Mario
From: Public Works
Subject:

RESOLUTION RELATING TO FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 ANNEXATIONS AND LEVY OF

ASSESSMENTS TO THE CITY OF PLACENTIA LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 92-1 AND SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING FOR JUNE 2, 2026 AT 6:00 P.M.

Financial Impact:

None.

Summary:

Each year, the City must conduct a public hearing to provide for the Levy of Assessments for the City of Placentia Landscape Maintenance District (LMD) No. 92-1, prepare a final Engineer's Report, and provide for any annexations into the District as proposed. This action will adopt resolutions necessary to set forth a public hearing for June 2, 2026, to provide for the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Annual Levy of Assessments for LMD No. 92-1 as well as finalize the annual Engineer's Report.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended that the City Council:

Strategic Plan Statement:

There is no specific strategic planning goal or objective associated with this agenda item.

Discussion:

LMD No. 92-1 (the "District") assesses various parcels located within the District a flat amount each year to provide funding to maintain various perimeter and median landscapes, as well as other improvements (e.g., entrance signs, parkway vistas). The current maximum assessment 78 rate per assessment unit for single family residential parcels is $154.87 per year. This rate cannot be increased without the approval of the property owners within the District.

The District was established pursuant to the provisions of the "Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972," Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code. The annual levy of assessments is for providing landscape maintenance of specific improvements in those areas within the Boundary Map of the District and outlined in the FY 2025-26 Engineer's Report (Attachment 3), which is on file in the offices of the City Engineer and City Clerk. This Engineer's Report is for reference. A final annual Engineer's Report will be prepared and presented to the City Council for its consideration as required by law.

The legal authority for setting the assessments in LMD No. 92-1 is set forth in the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 which is found in Streets and Highways Code Section 22500, et seq., and pertinent provisions of the California Government Code. The District is exempt from and not subject to the procedures and approval processes set forth in Article XIII D, Section 4 of the California Constitution enacted by Proposition 218 on November 5, 1996. That is due to the fact that Proposition 218 also enacted Article XIII D, Sections 5 and 5(b) which exempts assessment districts formed prior to November 6, 1996 and which were formed pursuant to a petition signed by those owning all the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed, provided there is no increase in the amount assessed on a property owner in a particular category from the prior year.

In Placentia, LMD No. 92-1 was formed prior to November 6, 1996, and pursuant to a petition signed by those owning all the parcels, subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed. In addition, there is no increase in the amount assessed on a property owner in the category of assessment unit for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 as compared to FY 2025-26. Therefore, the District is exempt from the procedures and approval processes of Proposition 218 for FY 2026-27.

Financial Summary:

For FY 2026-27, LMD No. 92-1 will have an estimated $443,105 in expenditures and projected assessment revenue of $511,038. There is no impact on the General Fund associated with these recommended actions.

City of Placentia
Landscape Maintenance District No. 92-1
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26

INTRODUCTION
The City of Placentia (the "City") services and maintains perimeter and median landscaping, and other improvements ("Improvements") to various parts of the City. In order to fund the maintenance and operation (the "Services") of these projects and improvements, the City has formed Landscape Maintenance District No. 92-1, ("District").

This Engineer's Report ("Report") was prepared to establish the budget for the Improvements (as described below) that will be funded by the 2025-26 assessments and other revenue, and to determine the general and special benefits received from the Improvements by property within the District and the method of assessment apportionment to lots and parcels. This Report and the assessments have been made pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the "Act") and Article XIIID of the California Constitution (the "Article").

ENGINEER'S REPORT AND CONTINUATION OF ASSESSMENTS
The assessment has been continued for over 20 years. In each subsequent year for which the assessments will be continued, the Placentia City Council (the "Council") must direct the preparation of an Engineer's Report, budgets, and proposed assessments for the upcoming fiscal year. After the report is completed, the City Council may preliminarily approve the Engineer's Report and the continued assessments and establish the date for a public hearing on the continuation of the assessments. Accordingly, this Engineer's Report (the "Report") was prepared pursuant to the direction of the City Council.

Following the minimum 10 -day time period after publishing the notice, a public hearing is held for the purpose of allowing public testimony about the proposed continuation of the Assessments. This hearing is currently scheduled for June 17, 2025. At this hearing, the Council will consider approval of a resolution confirming the continuation of the Assessments for Fiscal Year 2025-26. If so confirmed and approved, the Assessments would be submitted to the Orange County Auditor/Controller for inclusion on the property tax rolls for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

LEGISLATIVE ANALYSIS

Page 5 of 31 ends

City of Placentia
Landscape Maintenance District No. 92-1
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26
PROPOSITION 218
The Right to Vote on Taxes Act was approved by the voters of California on November 6, 1996, and is now Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution. Proposition 218 provides for benefit assessments to be levied to fund the cost of providing services and improvements, as well as maintenance and operation expenses to a public improvement which benefits the assessed property.

This ruling is significant in that the Court clarified how Proposition 218 made changes to the determination of special benefit. The Court also found that:
• Benefit assessments are for special, not general, benefit • The services and/or improvements funded by assessments must be clearly defined
• Special benefits are directly received by and provide a direct advantage to property in the Improvement District
• The assessment paid by property should be proportional to the special benefits it receives from the Improvements.

This Engineer's Report and the process used to establish the continuation of the assessments for fiscal year 2025-26 are consistent with the SVTA decision and with the requirements of Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution based on the following factors:

The District is drawn to include the entire City, although only parcels deriving special benefits are included in the assessment rolls. Thus, zones of benefit are not required, and the assessment revenue derived from real property in the District is expended only on the Improvements in the District.

The Improvements which are constructed and maintained with assessment proceeds in the District are located in close proximity to the real property subject to the assessment.

The Improvements provide landscaping and other services to the residents of such assessed property. The proximity of the Improvements to the assessed parcels provides a special benefit to the parcel being assessed pursuant to the factors outlined by the Supreme Court in that decision.

Due to their proximity to the assessed parcels, the Improvements financed with assessment revenues in the District benefit the properties in that District in a manner

Page 6 of 31 ends

City of Placentia
Landscape Maintenance District No. 92-1
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26
different in kind from the benefit that other parcels of real property in the City derive from such Improvements, and the benefits conferred on such property in the District are more extensive than a general increase in property values.

The assessments paid in the District are proportional to the special benefit that each parcel within that Assessment District receives from the Improvements because:

The specific landscaping Improvements and maintenance and utility costs thereof in the District are specified in this Report; and
Such Improvement and maintenance costs in the District are allocated among different types of property located within the District, and equally among those properties which have similar characteristics, such as single-family residential parcels, multi -family residential parcels, commercial parcels, industrial parcels, etc.

DAHMS V. DOWNTOWN POMONA PROPERTY (2009) 174 CAL. APP. 4TH 708
In Dahms v. Downtown Pomona Property ("Dahms") the Court upheld an assessment that was 100% special benefit (i.e. 0% general benefit) on the rationale that the services and improvements funded by the assessments were directly provided to property in the assessment district. The Court also upheld discounts and exemptions from the assessment for certain properties.

BONANDER V. TOWN OF TIBURON (2009) 180 CAL. APP. 4TH 103 Bonander v. Town of Tiburon ("Bonander"), the 1st District Court of Appeal overturned a benefit assessment approved by property owners to pay for placing overhead utility lines underground in an area of the Town of Tiburon. The Court invalidated the assessments primarily on the grounds that the assessments had been apportioned to assessed property based on the costs within sub -areas of the assessment district instead of the overall cost of the improvements and the overall proportional special benefits.

BEUTZ V. COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE (2010) 184 CAL. APP. 4TH 1516 Steven Beutz v. County of Riverside ("Beutz") the Court overturned an assessment for park maintenance in Wildomar, California, primarily because the general benefits associated with improvements and services were not explicitly calculated, quantified, and separated from the special benefits.

GOLDEN HILL NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION V. CITY OF SAN DIEGO (2011) 199 CAL. APP. 4TH 416

Page 7 of 31 ends

City of Placentia
Landscape Maintenance District No. 92-1
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26
On September 22, 2011, the San Diego Court of Appeal issued a decision on the Golden Hill Neighborhood Association v. City of San Diego appeal. This decision overturned an assessment for street and landscaping maintenance in the Greater Golden Hill neighborhood of San Diego, California. The court described two primary reasons for its decision. First, like in Beutz, the court found the general benefits associated with services were not explicitly calculated, quantified and separated from the special benefits. Second, the court found that the City had failed to record the basis for the assessment on its own parcels.

COMPLIANCE WITH CURRENT LAW
This Engineer's Report is consistent with the SVTA decision and with the requirements of Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution because the Improvements to be funded are clearly defined; the benefiting property in the District enjoys close and unique proximity, access and views to the Improvements; the Improvements serve as an extension of usable land area for benefiting properties in the District and such special benefits provide a direct advantage to property in the District that is not enjoyed by the public at large or other property.

This Engineer's Report is consistent with Beutz, Dahms and Greater Golden Hill because the Improvements will directly benefit property in the District and the general benefits have been explicitly calculated and quantified and excluded from the Assessments. The Engineer's Report is consistent with Bonander because the Assessments have been apportioned based on the overall cost of the Improvements and Services proportional to the special benefit to each property, rather than the proportional cost to the District to provide the Improvements to specific properties.

Notes to Estimate of Costs:

A. The total estimated expenses for this Fiscal Year do not include the following maintenance and operating costs for the Placentia Sports Champion Complex: $53,454 for landscape and general maintenance plus $14,005 for restroom janitorial services. These costs, totaling $67,459 (or approximately 15% of the total assessment district's annual expenses) are covered by the City's General Fund.

B. The Act requires that proceeds from the assessments must be deposited into a special fund that has been set up for the revenues and expenditures of the District. Moreover, funds raised by the assessment shall be used only for the purposes stated within this Report. Any balance remaining at the end of the Fiscal Year, June 30, must be carried over to the next Fiscal Year. The District may also establish a reserve fund for contingencies and special projects as well as a capital improvement fund for accumulating funds for larger capital improvement projects or capital renovation needs. Any remaining balance would either be placed in the reserve fund, the capital improvement fund, or would be used to reduce future years' assessments.

C. The rate shown here is for an Assessment Unit (single family home or its equivalent). For the definition of the term AU and rates for other types of property, see the section titled, "Method of Assessment" and the sections following it in this report.

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT APPORTIONMENT
This section of the Engineer's Report explains the benefits to be derived from the Improvements and the methodology used to apportion the total assessment to properties within the District.

The District consists of certain assessor parcels within the boundaries as defined by the Assessment Diagram referenced in this report and the parcels identified by the Assessor Parcel Numbers listed with the levy roll. The parcel list includes all privately and publicly owned parcels as shown. The method used for apportioning the Assessment is based upon the relative special benefits to be derived by the properties in the District over and above general benefits conferred on real property or to the public at large. The Assessment is apportioned to lots and parcels in proportion to the relative special benefit from the Improvements. The apportionment of special benefit is a two-step process: the first step is to identify the types of special benefit arising from the Improvements and the second step is to allocate the Assessments to property based on the estimated relative special benefit for each type of property.

DISCUSSION OF BENEFIT
In summary, the Assessments can only be levied based on the special benefit to property.

This benefit is received by property over and above any general benefits. With reference to the requirements for assessments, Section 22573 of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvement&" Proposition 218, as codified in Article XIIID of the California Constitution, has confirmed that assessments must be based on the special benefit to property and that the value of the special benefits must exceed the cost of the assessment:
"No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel." The following benefit categories summarize the types of special benefit to residential, commercial, industrial and other lots and parcels resulting from the Improvements to be provided with the assessment proceeds. These types of special benefit are summarized as follows:

Page 14 of 31 ends

City of Placentia
Landscape Maintenance District No. 92-1
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26
A. Proximity to Improved Landscaped Areas and Other Public Improvements within the District.

B. Access to Improved landscaped areas and Other Public Improvements within the District.

C. Improved Views within the District.

D. Extension of a property's outdoor areas and green spaces for properties within close proximity to the Improvements.

E. Creation of individual lots for residential and commercial use that, in absence of the Assessments, would not have been created.

In this case, the recent SVTA v. SCCOSA decision provides enhanced clarity to the definitions of special benefits to properties from similar improvements in three distinct areas:
• Proximity
• Expanded or improved access
• Views
The SVTA v. SCCOSA decision also clarifies that a special benefit is a service or improvement that provides a direct advantage to a parcel and that indirect or derivative advantages resulting from the overall public benefits from a service or improvement are general benefits. The SVTA v. SCCOSA decision also provides specific guidance that park improvements are a direct advantage and special benefit to property that is proximate to a park that is improved by an assessment:

The characterization of a benefit may depend on whether the parcel receives a direct advantage from the improvement (e.g. proximity to a park) or receives an indirect, derivative advantage resulting from the overall public benefits of the improvement (e.g. general enhancement of the district's property values).

Proximity, improved access and views, in addition to the other special benefits listed herein further strengthen the basis of these assessments.

Moreover, the Dahms decision further clarified that certain services and improvements funded by assessments, that are over and above what otherwise would be provided and that other property in general and the public do not share or receive are 100% special benefit. The assessment -funded services upheld by Dahms included streetscape maintenance and security services.

SPECIAL BENEFIT
The special benefits from the Improvements are further detailed below:

Page 15 of 31 ends

City of Placentia
Landscape Maintenance District No. 92-1
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26

PROXIMITY TO IMPROVED LANDSCAPED AREAS WITHIN THE DISTRICT Only the specific properties within close proximity to the Improvements are included in the District. The District has been narrowly drawn to include the properties that receive special benefits from the Improvements. Therefore, property in the District enjoys unique and valuable proximity and access to the Improvements that the public at large and property outside the District do not share.

In absence of the Assessments, the Improvements would not be provided and the public improvements funded in the District would be degraded due to insufficient funding for maintenance, upkeep and repair. Therefore, the Assessments provide Improvements that are over and above what otherwise would be provided. Improvements that are over and above what otherwise would be provided do not by themselves translate into special benefits but when combined with the unique proximity and access enjoyed by parcels in the District, they provide a direct advantage and special benefit to property in the District.

ACCESS TO IMPROVED LANDSCAPED AREAS WITHIN THE DISTRICT Since the parcels in the District are nearly the only parcels that enjoy close access to the Improvements, they directly benefit from the unique close access to improved landscaping areas and other public improvements that are provided by the Assessments.

This is a direct advantage and special benefit to property in the District.

IMPROVED VIEWS WITHIN THE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS
The City, by maintaining permanent public improvements funded by the Assessments in the District, provides improved views to properties in the District. The properties in the District enjoy close and unique proximity, access and views of the specific Improvements funded in the District; therefore, the improved and protected views provided by the Assessments are another direct and tangible advantage that is uniquely conferred upon property in the District.

EXTENSION OF A PROPERTY'S OUTDOOR AREAS AND GREEN SPACES

FOR PROPERTIES WITHIN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE IMPROVEMENTS In large part because it is cost prohibitive to provide large open land areas on property in the District, the residential, commercial and other benefiting properties in the District do not have large outdoor areas and green spaces. The Improvements within the District provide additional outdoor areas that serve as an effective extension of the land area for proximate properties because the Improvements are uniquely proximate and accessible to property in close proximity to the Improvements. The Improvements, therefore, provide an important, valuable and desirable extension of usable land area for the direct

Page 16 of 31 ends

City of Placentia
Landscape Maintenance District No. 92-1
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26
advantage and special benefit of properties in the District because such properties have uniquely good and close proximity to the Improvements.

CREATION OF INDIVIDUAL LOTS FOR RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL

USE THAT, IN ABSENCE OF THE ASSESSMENTS, WOULD NOT HAVE

BEEN CREATED
In most of the District, the original owner/developer(s) of the property within the District agreed unanimously to the Assessments. The Assessments provide the necessary funding for public improvements that were required as a condition of development and subdivision approval. Therefore, such Assessments allowed the original property to be subdivided and for development of the parcels to occur. As parcels were sold, new owners were informed of the Assessments through the title reports, and in some cases, through Department of Real Estate "White Paper" reports that the parcels were subject to assessment. Purchase of property was also an "agreement" to pay the Assessment.

GENERAL VERSUS SPECIAL BENEFIT
Article XIIIC of the California Constitution requires any local agency proposing to increase or impose a benefit assessment to "separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel." The rationale for separating special and general benefits is to ensure that property owners subject to the benefit assessment are not paying for general benefits. An assessment can fund special benefits but cannot fund general benefits. Accordingly, a separate estimate of the special and general benefit is given in this section.

In other words:

Total _ General Special
Benefit — Benefit Benefit
There is no widely accepted or statutory formula for general benefit. General benefits are benefits from improvements or services that are not special in nature, are not "particular and distinct" and are not "over and above" benefits received by other properties. SVTA vs. SCCOSA provides some clarification by indicating that general benefits provide "an indirect, derivative advantage" and are not necessarily proximate to the improvements.

Page 17 of 31 ends

City of Placentia
Landscape Maintenance District No. 92-1
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26
In this Report, the general benefit is liberally estimated and described, and then budgeted so that it is funded by sources other than the Assessment.

The starting point for evaluating general and special benefits is the current, baseline level of service. The Assessment will fund Improvements "over and above" this general, baseline level and the general benefits estimated in this section are over and above the baseline.

A formula to estimate the general benefit is listed below:

General
Benefit
Benefit to Real
Property Outside
theAss essii en t
District
Ben efi t to Real
Property Inside the Benefit to
+ Assessment District + the Public that
is. Indirect and at Large
Derivative
Special benefit, on the other hand, is defined in the state constitution as "a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large." The SVTA v. SCCOSA decision indicates that a special benefit is conferred to a property if it "receives a direct advantage from the improvement (e.g., proximity to a park)." In these Assessments, as noted, properties in the District have close and unique proximity, views and access to the Improvements and uniquely improved desirability from the Improvements and other properties and the public at large do not receive significant benefits because they do not have proximity, access or views of the Improvements. Therefore, the overwhelming proportion of the benefits conferred to property is special and is only minimally received by property outside the Districts or the public at large.

BENEFIT FINDING
The District contains the Placentia Champions Sports Complex, which is distinct from other landscape improvements in the District. Due to significantly different characteristics between the two types of improvements, benefits will be discussed and calculated separately under the categories of "Park Improvements" and "Landscaping Improvements."

PARK IMPROVEMENTS - QUANTIFICATION OF GENERAL BENEFIT
In this section, the general benefit from park Improvements is liberally estimated and described, and then budgeted so that it is funded by sources other than the Assessment.

This Park section is focused on the Placentia Champions Sports Complex. Other District Improvements are discussed below in "Landscaping Improvements - Quantification of General Benefit."

Page 18 of 31 ends

City of Placentia
Landscape Maintenance District No. 92-1
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26

BENEFIT TO PROPERTY OUTSIDE THE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS
For the purposes of calculating benefit to properties outside the District, the Park will be considered as a neighborhood park insomuch as it provides amenities for nearby properties. While it functions as a community (or even regional) facility for organized sports such as baseball and soccer, the general benefit derived from those activities will be discussed under the "Benefit to the General Public" below.

Properties within the District receive much of the special benefits from the park Improvements because properties in the District enjoy unique close proximity and access to the park Improvements that is not necessarily enjoyed by other properties or the public at large. However, certain properties within the proximity/access radius of the park Improvements, but outside of the boundaries of the District, may receive some benefit from the park Improvements. Since this benefit is conferred to properties outside the District boundaries, it contributes to the overall general benefit calculation and will not be funded by the Assessments.

Since the properties outside the District but within the effective proximity radii are not assessed for their benefits because they are outside of the area that can be assessed by the District, this is a form of general benefit to other property. A 50% reduction factor is applied to these properties because they are all on only one side of the Improvements and properties in the District enjoy the advantage of over twice the average proximity to the park Improvements. The general benefit to property outside of the District is calculated as follows with the parcel and data analysis:

Assumptions:
• 651 parcels outside the District but within 0.5 miles of the Park • 2,212 parcels in the District
• 50% relative benefit compared to property within the District.

Calculation:

General Benefit to property outside the District = 651/(651+2,212)*0.5 = 11.37%

BENEFIT TO PROPERTY INSIDE THE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS THAT IS

INDIRECT AND DERIVATIVE
The "indirect and derivative" benefit to property within the District is particularly difficult to calculate. A solid argument can be presented that all benefit within the District is special, because the Improvements are clearly "over and above" and "particular and distinct" when compared with the baseline level of service and the unique proximity, access and views of the Improvements enjoyed by benefiting properties in the District.

Page 19 of 31 ends

City of Placentia
Landscape Maintenance District No. 92-1
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26
Nevertheless, the SVTA vs. SCCOSA decision indicates there may be general benefit "conferred on real property located in the district" A measure of the general benefits to property within the Assessment area is the percentage of land area within or directly abutting the District that is publicly owned and used for regional purposes such as major roads, rail lines and other regional facilities because such properties used for regional purposes could provide indirect benefits to the public at large. Approximately 2.91% of the land area in the District is used for such regional purposes, so this is a measure of the general benefits to property within the District.

BENEFIT TO THE PUBLIC AT LARGE
The general benefit to the public at large can be estimated by the proportionate amount of time that the District's parks facilities are used and enjoyed by individuals who are not residents, employees, customers or property owners in the District. In this District, there is only one park facility: Placentia Champions Sports Complex ("Complex"). The Complex serves the needs of many people in two primary ways: as a neighborhood park serving nearby residents for shorter and more frequent visits; and as a community or regional park serving people from all over Placentia and the surrounding areas as a destination for organized sports such as soccer and baseball league play. The general benefit of the former was discussed above; the general benefit of the latter is discussed here.

When the Complex functions as a community or regional park, it becomes a destination for longer and less frequent visits (for example, scheduled league play). Of the five ways benefits are conferred (proximity, access, views, extension of a property's green space, and creation of lots), the community or regional function confers benefits only in the "access" and "extension of a property's green space" categories (proximity does not apply as these trips are from outside the District; people do not come for the views; and the facility was not tied to the creation of faraway lots). Therefore, the general benefit is no more than 40%. That figure, however, is reduced by the percentage that the community or regional park benefits property owners within the district (special benefit). The City estimates that approximately 71% of participants in these organized sports are from the City of Placentia. However, only 15.11% of Placentia parcels lie inside the district, so it is estimated that (15% of 71% =) 10.73% of the users are from within the District.

Conversely, 89.27% are from outside the District. Therefore (40% x 89.27% _) 35.71% of the benefits from the Parks Improvements are general benefits to the public at large.

TOTAL PARK IMPROVEMENTS GENERAL BENEFITS
Using a sum of these three measures of general benefit, we find that approximately

49.98% of the benefits conferred by the Improvements may be general in nature and should be funded by sources other than the assessment.

LANDSCAPING AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS - QUANTIFICATION OF

GENERAL BENEFIT
In this section, the general benefit from landscaping and other types of Improvements (other than park Improvements) is liberally estimated and described, and then budgeted so that it is funded by sources other than the Assessment.

BENEFIT TO PROPERTY OUTSIDE THE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS
Properties within the District receive almost all of the special benefits from the other Improvements because properties in the District enjoy unique close proximity and access to the Improvements that is not enjoyed by other properties or the public at large.

However, certain properties within the proximity/access radius of the Improvements, but outside of the boundaries of the District, may receive some benefit from the Improvements. Since this benefit is conferred to properties outside the District boundaries, it contributes to the overall general benefit calculation and will not be funded by the Assessments. The general benefit to property outside of the District is calculated with the parcel and data analysis.

Since the properties outside the District but with frontage abutting the Improvements cannot be assessed by the District, this is a form of general benefit to other property. The primary way that parcels outside the district benefit by the Improvements is from views.

Therefore, parcels that abut the landscape areas and are not separated from the Improvements by a privacy fence are counted for this general benefit. The general benefit to property outside of the District is calculated as follows:

Page 21 of 31 ends

City of Placentia
Landscape Maintenance District No. 92-1
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26
ASSUMPTIONS:
• 22 parcels outside the District
■ 2,212 parcels in the District.

CALCU LATION:

General Benefit to property outside the District
22/(22+2,212) =0.99%

BENEFIT TO PROPERTY INSIDE THE ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS THAT IS

INDIRECT AND DERIVATIVE
The "indirect and derivative" benefit to property within the District is particularly difficult to calculate. A solid argument can be presented that all benefit within the District is special, because the other Improvements are clearly "over and above" and "particular and distinct" when compared with the baseline level of service and the unique proximity, access and views of the other Improvements enjoyed by benefiting properties in the District.

Nevertheless, the SVTA vs. SCCOSA decision indicates there may be general benefit "conferred on real property located in the district" A measure of the general benefits to property within the Assessment area is the percentage of land area within or directly abutting the District that is publicly owned and used for regional purposes such as major roads, rail lines and other regional facilities because such properties used for regional purposes could provide indirect benefits to the public at large. Approximately 2.91% of the land area in the District is used for such regional purposes, so this is a measure of the general benefits to property within the District.

BENEFIT TO THE PUBLIC AT LARGE
The general benefit to the public at large can be estimated by the proportionate amount of time that the District's other Improvements including landscaping are used and enjoyed by individuals who are not residents, employees, customers or property owners in the District. It should be noted that these other Improvements do not attract the public at large in the same way as park improvements — and they confer far less benefit to the public at large than do similar park improvements. In essence, the public does not visit an area to enjoy setback landscaping in the same way as they may visit a park.

One way to measure the special benefit to the general public is by the car trips through an area with Improvements. Of the five ways benefits are conferred (proximity, access, views, extension of a property's green space, and creation of lots), the only benefit that is conferred by way of pass -by car trips is views, which accounts for 10% of the total

Page 22 of 31 ends

City of Placentia
Landscape Maintenance District No. 92-1
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26
benefits, since views are less critically important and are enjoyed much less often to the average non-resident driver than to a resident.

Next, the views factors are weighted by the relevant number of car trips. Using the lane miles as representative of pass -by traffic, an analysis shows that 90% of the lane miles are on arterial or collector streets where the general public has views of the landscaping.

Therefore (90% of 10% _) 9.0% of the benefits from the other Improvements are general benefits to the public at large.

TOTAL OTHER IMPROVEMENTS GENERAL BENEFITS
Using a sum of these three measures of general benefit, we find that approximately

12.89% of the benefits conferred by the Improvements may be general in nature and should be funded by sources other than the assessment.

LANDSCAPING GENERAL BENEFIT CALCULATION

0.99% (Outside the District)
+ 2.91% (Property within the District)
+ 9.00% (Public at Large)
= 12.90% (Total General Benefit)

TOTAL COMBINED GENERAL BENEFITS
The total general benefit for Parks is 49.98% and for Landscaping and other Improvements is 12.89%. However, none of the District budget is for Parks — all of the budget is currently allocated for Landscaping and other Improvements. Therefore, using those proportions to calculate a weighted average of the general benefits for each type of Improvement, the resulting total combined general benefit is (0 x 49.98%) + (1.00 x

12.90%) = 12.90%.

Although this analysis finds that 12.90% of the assessment may provide general benefits from the Improvements, the Assessment Engineer establishes a requirement for a minimum contribution from sources other than the assessments of 13%. This minimum contribution above the measure of general benefits will serve to provide additional coverage for any other general benefits.

This general benefit cannot be funded from the Assessments; it must be funded from other sources such as the City's General Fund or other non -District funds. These contributions can also be in the form of in -lieu contributions to the installation and maintenance of the Improvements such as other City assets that support and protect the Improvements. The City of Placentia will contribute both monetary and in -lieu resources to ensure that the general benefits conferred by the proposed Improvements are not funded by the District's Assessments.

A summary and quantification of these other contributions from the City is discussed below:

The City of Placentia owns, maintains, rehabilitates, and replaces curb and gutter along the border of the District Improvements. This curb and gutter serve to support, contain, retain, manage irrigation flow and growth, and provide a boundary for the Improvements.

The contribution from the City towards general benefit from the maintenance, rehabilitation, and replacement of the curb and gutter is conservatively estimated to be 5%.

The City owns and maintains a storm drainage system along the border of District Improvements. This system serves to prevent flooding and associated damage to the Improvements and manage urban runoff including local pollutants loading from the Improvements. The contribution from the City towards general benefit from the maintenance and operation of the local storm drainage system is conservatively estimated to be 5%.

The City owns and maintains local public streets along the border of the District Improvements. These public streets provide access to the Improvements for its enjoyment as well as efficient maintenance. The contribution from the City towards general benefit from the maintenance of local public streets is conservatively estimated to be 5%.

The total General Benefit is liberally quantified at 13% which is entirely offset by the conservatively quantified total non -assessment contribution towards general benefit described above of 25%. Therefore, no additional General Benefit must be funded by the City.

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT

City of Placentia
Landscape Maintenance District No. 92-1
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26
The development of an Assessment methodology requires apportioning to determine the relative special benefit for each property. As the District was formed by a different engineer of record, the precise language from the most recent Engineer's Report is included below:

It has been determined that the improvements provide a specific and special benefit to all assessed parcels of land in the development area. Landscaping and irrigation of street rights -of -way, entryways, islands, sewer and storm drain easements, areas surrounding existing oil wells and the parkway vistas aesthetically enhances the development areas. The landscaped pedestrian corridor along Alta Vista Street also provides pedestrian access throughout the development area. The aesthetic enhancement and use of the parkway vistas increases the desirability of the properties located within the boundaries of the District mainly because of the property's close proximity and accessibility to the improvements. Therefore, maintenance of these public improvements renders a special and direct benefit to the parcels located throughout the District and the levy of a special assessment for the maintenance of the improvements is deemed appropriate.

The method of apportionment (Method of Assessment) set forth in the Report is based on the premise that each assessed property receives special benefits from the landscape improvements within the District, and the assessment obligation for each parcel reflects that parcel's proportional special benefits as compared to other properties that receive special benefits.

The assessment method used in spreading the annual landscape maintenance costs is based on an assessment unit (AU) factor as follows:

Each Single Family Detached Residential Unit is considered to be one AU and is assessed the cost attributable to one AU.

Multi -Family Residential Units are assessed 0.70 or 70% of an AU since they have a higher density than Single Family Detached Units (number of dwelling units/acres). The decrease in assessment is a direct result of the reduced amount of assessable acreage per Multi -Family Unit and the reduction in occupancy per unit.

In converting Developed Commercial, Industrial, Institutional and Other Non - Residential properties to AUs, the factor used is based on the City of Placentia average single-family residential density of ten dwelling units per acre. Therefore, the parcels in this Class will be assessed 10 AU per acre or any portion thereof.

These properties benefit from the maintenance of improvements because of the

Page 25 of 31 ends

City of Placentia
Landscape Maintenance District No. 92-1
Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26
enhanced desirability resulting from well -kept landscape areas. Improved aesthetic appeal also increases the draw of businesses to purchase or lease property and the increased opportunity to draw clientele.

Assessable Undeveloped Acreage also benefits from the maintenance and service of landscape improvements. This benefit comes in the form of enhanced desirability due to the improved aesthetics of the area resulting from improvements. The enhanced aesthetics increases the desirability of the property to future homeowners and future commercial property owners or lessors. However, because the property is vacant, less use will be made of the improvements. It is reasonable to derive that vacant property, when compared to developed property, receives about half of the benefit of developed properties, therefore the Single - Family Residence acreage equivalent used for developed non- residential properties of 10 AU per acres is reduced to 5 AU per acre for undeveloped land.2 Further clarification on the four benefit classes is provided below:

Class / - Single family detached residential, including condominium form of ownership of single-family detached dwellings.

Class II - Developed commercial, industrial, and institutional where a map or a building permit for construction has been issued as of March 15 of the prior Fiscal Year.

Class III — Multi -family residential and attached residential, approved project where a map has been recorded or a building permit for construction of dwelling units has been issued as of March 15 of the prior Fiscal Year.

Class IV — Undeveloped and all other properties that are not in Class I, I/, or III regardless if they have been approved for future development or are in the process of securing development approval as of June 15 of the prior Fiscal Year3.

DURATION OF ASSESSMENT
The District was formed or annexed in previous years. It is proposed that the Assessments be continued every year after their formation or annexation, so long as the public Improvements need to be maintained and improved, and the City requires funding from the Assessments for these Improvements in the District. As noted previously, the Assessment can continue to be levied annually after the City Council approves an annually updated Engineer's Report, budget for the Assessment, Improvements to be provided, and other specifics of the Assessment. In addition, the City Council must hold an annual public hearing to continue the Assessment.

PLACENTIA CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: May 19, 2026
Submitted by: Matthew Di Mario
From: Public Works
Subject:

AMENDMENT NO. 5 TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH HF&H CONSULTANTS, LLC, FOR REFUSE CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS AND SB 1383

COMPLIANCE ASSISTANCE
Financial Impact:

Expense: $134,572 Annual Contract Amount
Budget: $75,000 FY 2025-26 Refuse Administration Fund (403-80700-6400) $87,000 Refuse Administration Fund Balance
Summary:

In July 2020, the City entered into an agreement with HF&H Consultants, LLC (HF&H) under the City Administrator's approval authority for $24,999 to assist the City with preparing to implement the extensive regulatory administrative burdens mandated by Senate Bill (SB) 1383. On April 6, 2021, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement for HF&H to assist the City in negotiating a fully restated and amended solid waste handling franchise agreement with Republic Services and ordinance support to address the requirements of SB 1383. The amendment extended the term of the agreement to December 31, 2022, and increased the not -to -exceed contract amount to $119,999. In December 2022, Amendment No. 2 was executed under the City Administrator's administrative approval authority to extend the term of the Agreement to June 30, 2024. Amendment No. 3 was approved by the City Council on February 20, 2024 and amended the scope of work to include additional tasks and increase the contract amount by $35,000 for a total contract not -to - exceed amount of $154,999. Amendment No. 4 was approved by City Council on May 20, 2025 extending the term to June 20, 2027 and increasing the contract amount by $90,000 for a revised contract not -to -exceed amount of $244,999, due to the complexity of the contract negotiations with Republic Services and the City.

Staff is proposing Amendment No. 5 to add $150,000, bringing the revised cumulative contract not -to -exceed amount to $394,999. This contract increase is to complete remaining items for the agreement negotiating process and to provide on -call support for SB 1383 and additional contract requirements in FY 2026-27. The additional contract costs for the current fiscal year are being requested through a fund balance transfer via Resolution R-2026-29. A total of $87,000 is requested through a fund balance transfer for the additional services required to complete the negotiation process with Republic Services. The future cost of services will be 119

included in the operating budgets for future fiscal years.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended that the City Council:

3. Authorize the City Administrator and/or her designee to execute all necessary documents in a form approved by the City Attorney.

Strategic Plan Statement:

There is no specific strategic plan goal or objective associated with this recommended action.

Discussion:

In July 2020, the City entered into an agreement with HF&H for $24,999 for the development of a contract profile and Senate Bill (SB) 1383 Gap Analysis as part of joint effort with the cities of Brea, Fullerton, Garden Grove, and Yorba Linda to analyze and ultimately negotiate a completely restated franchise agreement with their solid waste hauler for implementation of SB 1383 mandates. On April 6, 2021, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with HF&H to assist the City in negotiating a restated agreement with Republic, consolidating all previous amendments, and negotiating a new citywide organic waste recycling program. The amendment also extended the term of the agreement to December 31, 2022, and increased the not -to -exceed contract amount to $119,999. In December 2022, Amendment No. 2 was executed under the City Administrator's administrative approval authority to extend the term of the Agreement to June 30, 2024. Amendment No. 3 was approved by the City Council on February 20, 2024, and amended the scope of work to include additional tasks, increased the contract not -to -exceed amount by $35,000 for a total cumulative not -to -exceed amount of $154,999, and extended the term through June 30, 2025, to complete the contract negotiations with Republic. On May 20, 2025, City Council approved Amendment No. 4, which increased the contract amount by $90,000 for a cumulative not -to - exceed contract amount of $244,999 and extended the term to June 20, 2027.

Staff is presenting Amendment No. 5 for City Council's consideration. Negotiations with Republic Services were anticipated to conclude earlier, but conversations on rates and terms extended negotiations into 2026. Additionally, key members of both the Republic and City negotiating teams and management staff have been replaced, which has added time and additional cost to this project. HF&H has diligently supported the City throughout this process, offering a draft amended agreement, analyzing various cost proposals, and actively participating in negotiation sessions. Given the complexity of the negotiations and the necessity to comply with SB 1383, the ongoing assistance of HF&H remains crucial for the City's success in reaching a revised agreement with Republic.

HF&H has supported a variety of jurisdictions and agencies throughout the State with strategic waste diversion planning, cost -of -service and rate studies, and negotiations of new franchise agreements related to SB 1383 compliance. HF&H has assisted other Orange County cities 120

including Anaheim, Brea, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, Santa Ana, and Yorba Linda in negotiating and implementing a new and/or amended agreement with Republic for SB 1383 compliance. They have extensive experience and knowledge of the City's current franchise agreement and negotiations. As such, Staff is recommending the approval of Amendment No. 5 to the agreement with HF&H to increase the contract amount to add $150,000 for a revised cumulative contract not -to -exceed amount of $394,999 to allow HF&H to continue assisting the City in finalizing contract negotiations with Republic.

Financial Summary:

The recommended action will approve Amendment No. 5, to the Professional Services Agreement with HF&H, increasing the contract amount by $150,000 for the remainder of the term, for a revised total not -to -exceed contract amount of $394,999. Funds for the Fiscal Year 2025-26 expenses will be obtained via Resolution No. R-2026-29, by transferring $87,000 from the Refuse Administration fund balance to pay for the additional services required to complete the negotiation process. The future cost of the services will be proposed in the operating budgets for future years.

PLACENTIA CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: May 19, 2026
Submitted by: Lydie Gutfeld
From: Community Services
Subject:

AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH OCY

MANAGEMENT, LLC
Financial Impact:
20% Match from General Fund (101-30603-6315) $18,743
OCTA Measure M Funding (211-30000-6315) $74,972
BUDGET $93,715
Summary:

The City of Placentia has partnered with OCYM to provide senior transportation services through the Senior Mobility Program (SMP). Amendment No. 1, approved by the City Council on June 17, 2025, authorized the first of three one-year extensions to the agreement and reflected a company name change.

Staff now recommends approval of Amendment No. 2 to authorize the second one-year extension in an amount not to exceed $93,715. This amendment also includes an additional 13 days, extending the contract term through June 30 to align with the Orange County Transportation Authority grant funding cycle.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Approve Amendment No. 2 to a Professional Services Agreement with OCY Management, LLC (OCYM) to extend the grant agreement period with a one-year extension, in a total amount not to exceed $93,715 to continue providing senior transportation services; and

2. Authorize the City Administrator and/or her designee to execute all necessary documents, in a form approved by the City Attorney; and

3. Authorize the City Administrator to approve the eligible agreement term extension based upon contractor performance and at the discretion of the City.

Strategic Plan Statement:

This item supports Strategic Plan Goal No. 1: Fiscal Sustainability. The program is primarily funded through the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) (80%), with only a 20% contribution from the City's General Fund, demonstrating fiscal responsibility by leveraging external funding to deliver essential services.
131

Discussion:

The City currently maintains an agreement with OCYM to provide transportation services for senior residents. OCYM has delivered these services reliably, and the program remains the most utilized transportation option within the senior community.

The Senior Mobility Program (SMP) provides transportation to and from the Placentia Senior Center, Monday through Friday, for Placentia senior residents. In addition, the program offers trips to five predetermined destinations twice per week (Tuesdays and Thursdays), including medical offices, grocery stores, pharmacies, and other essential businesses that support residents' daily needs.

The SMP is funded through a grant agreement with the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), which covers 80% of the program's annual operating costs. The remaining 20% local match is funded by the City's General Fund.

Amendment No. 2 would extend the current agreement for OCYM to continue providing services without interruption. Extending the agreement helps avoid any gaps in service and allows the City to keep working with a provider that is already familiar with the program and its participants. Due to OCTA's commitment to funding the next four (4) years for transportation, Staff recommends continuing this agreement and supporting the City's goal of helping seniors remain active, safe, and connected in the community.

Financial Summary:

There is no increase to the overall not -to -exceed amount; services will continue to be funded through the existing grant allocation of (FY27-28), $74,972. Under this agreement, the City of Placentia will continue to use these funds in addition to the 20% city match of $18,743 (101- 30603-6315) to provide transportation services to seniors.

Hello Mr. Zambrano,
(657)444-4444
January 1, 2023
Cabco Yellow Inc., dba California Yellow Cab (CYC) would kindly like to express interest in providing transportation services to the City of Placentia. The proposal shall remain valid for a period of not less than 180 days from the date of submittal.

In business since 1995, CYC has a long history of providing transportation services that go far beyond the traditional forms of taxicab services. Early in the company's history, we identified underserved segments of Orange County's population and sought to craft an on -demand service option for those affected by the challenges of public transportation. Today, CYC remains the largest and most adaptive taxicab fleet in the county, providing seniors and paratransit passengers the opportunity to get where they need to go, without doing so according to a bus schedule.

We are confident that at CYC we have the dedicated drivers and representatives to complete all tasks. In addition, our drivers not only are professional, but they will treat seniors with respect, help them in and out of the vehicle if permitted, have patience, and drive cautiously at all times.

Currently, we are contractors to numerous senior transportation programs in the county including the City of Fullerton, Cypress, La Habra, Fountain Valley, Laguna Woods, San Clemente, Laguna Hills, Orange, Yorba Linda, Garden Grove, Laguna Niguel and others.

CYC is delighted to have the opportunity to submit this Proposal to you and we welcome the opportunity to continue to meet the transportation needs of seniors in your fine City.

Sincerely,
Tim Conlon

Also, generated invoices and responded to customers with inquiries and/or complaints.

Scope of Work & Proposed Operational System for
City of Placentia
California Yellow Cab - CYC - proposes to establish a toll -free telephone number for use by the Senior Mobility Program (SMP) patrons in the City of Placentia. By using this number, program participants may call for on -demand service with the expectation of a cab arriving at the pick-up address within sixty (60) minutes, during program service hours. The phone number will automatically identify the caller as a program participant, and the participant would then only need to provide basic trip information along with their SMP I.D. number.

In addition to routine on -demand service, program participants may use the same phone number with the same identifying protocols for reservation service when possible, up to two weeks in advance. This can provide CYC dispatch with the ability to pre -route these trips to select drivers.

Reporting and Billing
Documentation and reporting on the part of CYC is managed via our proprietary digital - dispatch system. In addition to monthly trip data and invoicing, highly detailed electronic records are kept in our archiving, and can be accessed and placed into a report in as little as twenty-four hours. Information submitted, stored and readily available for any reporting purposes include rudimentary dispatch data like passengers' names, pick-up locations, destinations, dates and times of travel, passenger ID number, and additional contact information. Additionally, this data includes GPS "ping"

information from the cabs themselves that provide accurate data on the route taken during a trip, vehicle speed, performance standards data, records of customer contact including audio recordings of every call to or from a customer, and event records for each trip like times of pickups and drop offs.

Complaints and Incidents
All complaints will be reviewed by the Project Manager within 24 hours. From there, a remedy for the issue would be offered in addition to the City being contacted as to the status of the issue within 48 hours. Appropriate action would be taken to ensure the complaint does not arise again in any area of our operations.

We view incidents between drivers and passengers as among the most serious of problems that can occur in a program like this. CYC is a service business, and therefore any incident that may occur is not acceptable. Once a report of an incident is received, the Field Operations Supervisor will be charged with obtaining the details of the incident and following up. A detailed report of any accident, injury, or any dispute will be completed and provided to the City.

Per our routine day-to-day operations, any and all accidents receive the immediate attention of CYC accident investigators. These individuals are charged with rapidly responding to an accident scene. They use the appropriate reporting protocols to complete a formal investigation report that includes interviews of affected parties, measurements of the scene and photographs of the incident and the surroundings.

CYC was one of the first taxicab companies in the U.S. to electronically archive all trip data and continues to do so as a matter of routine, for three years so as to permit rapid forwarding of this data upon request.

Detailed itemization of trip data is included in the monthly invoicing. An accounting of ridership, in a line -by-line format is provided so as to aid in auditing and oversight of the program.

Experience
CYC has been in the Seniors and Paratransit transportation business since its inception some twenty plus years ago (1995), and is the current service contractor for seniors' programs in the cities of Yorba Linda, Fullerton, Cypress, Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods, La Habra, Orange, Garden Grove, Rancho Santa Margarita and others. Additionally, we are the primary contractor for John Wayne Airport, a franchise in the City of Anaheim and
Has a number of independent private care organizations, all requiring ADA compliance and driver Sensitivity Training programs.

Of particular note are the twelve years' experience servicing the 25,000 seniors residing in Laguna Woods with a consistent sub 1`)/0 complaint record.

As the John Wayne Airport (JWA) contractor, we are continually challenged to innovate and update our fleet and methods for accommodating the traveling public. What we learn from our operations at JWA are modern fleet protocols, advanced customer service methods, situational awareness training for our staff and drivers, and skills is

handling seniors, developmentally disadvantaged and varying cultural expectations.

These advances are incorporated into our street -fleet driver training programs and help ensure consistency throughout our fleet.

Fleet and Maintenance
CYC has a diverse fleet consisting of conventional sedans, 6 -passenger minivans, and ADA compliant wheelchair -access vans. The average age of the CYC fleet is 4 years.

All of our taxicabs undergo a rigorous maintenance program, designed to ensure safe and dependable transportation for passengers. Records of inspections and maintenance logs are kept by our company as a permanent record for the vehicles.

These records are available for City staff review upon request.

The heart of our vehicle maintenance program called Preventive Safety and Maintenance Inspection (PSMI). This program is designed to identify and correct any and potential vehicle issues before they become a more serious problem.

Monthly Safety Inspections
Every cab in our fleet is inspected approximately every 30 days, to check for any vehicle malfunctions or unsafe conditions including, but not limited to:
• Headlights, tail lights, brake lights, interior lights, and turn signals • Steering
• Windshield wipers
• Tires
• Oil, transmission fluid, etc.
• Warning lights on display
• Body, windshield or interior damage
• Leakage of any fluids
• Horn
• Mirrors
• Double-check the hood to ensure both latches are fastened securely • Wheelchair Vehicles: hand rails, wheelchair tie -downs (manual or power), internal and exterior lighting, operation of ramp/lift, etc.

If any malfunction or damage is observed, the vehicle is not driven.

Interval PMSI Inspections
PMSI inspections are conducted at 6,000 -mile intervals. The vehicle's engine oil and filter are changed at each inspection, and the brakes are inspected and adjusted, if necessary. Every 30,000 miles, each vehicle undergoes a more through PMSI, which includes items not specifically addressed in the preceding inspections.

Automated Maintenance Trackinc System
Our company uses an automated driver and vehicle maintenance tracking system which proactively monitors every driver and vehicle in the fleet and records the mileage of

each vehicle weekly. Critical driver and vehicle in the fleet and records the mileage of each vehicle weekly. Critical driver date tracked by our system includes:
• Driver license and expiration
• Norton Medical expiration (drug screening)
• OCTPA driver permits and expiration
• H6 infractions
Critical vehicle data tracked includes:
• Vehicle registration and expiration
• Vehicle mileage (weekly) and preventative maintenance required • OCTAP permits and expiration
The program also contains a history of the vehicles' previous inspections. Based upon all of this information, the program will sort the entire fleet and will identify the vehicles that will be coming due for an inspection within the next week, as well as identifying which inspection is due. This information is then conveyed to the Scheduling and Dispatch Department to ensure that the required vehicles are available for the Maintenance Department on the day that they are requested.

All CYC cabs are professionally washed on a weekly basis and drivers are required to maintain a clean and tidy vehicle at all times. All cabs are randomly inspected in the field. Any dirty or foul smelling vehicles are removed from service right away, and re- inspected for corrections before being returned to service.

California Yellow Cab has been taking the following steps to protect both the seniors and drivers from the spread of the Covid-19 virus. Although it is not guaranteed that

they will not be exposed, studies have shown that if followed there will be a greatly decreased likelihood of contracting the virus.

Every Three Days
• Vehicle is disinfected at the main office
• Complete thorough cleaning of all interior surfaces
• Restock of all required supplies
Start of Each Day
• Driver will check supply inventory of masks, gloves, and disinfecting wipes
• Wipe down of all interior surfaces
• Safely dispose of any used cleaning supplies or protective equipment After Each Passenger
• Using the disinfecting wipes and while wearing gloves they will wipe down passenger area. Specifically, any area of contact; door handles, window controls, credit card processor, headrest, etc. Note: While we encourage the wearing of facial coverings by all passengers and will make them available for drivers to offer those passengers that do not have them it is still a personal choice that each passenger will make for themselves (unless the City requires all passengers to wear one).

Most CYC cabs are distinct and identical in appearance with a black lower 1/3rd panel and a yellow upper body. Identifying decals are in black, white or silver, and the decals

are arranged in the same position on all vehicles with the California Yellow Cab logo on the front.

Insurance Requirements
Since our vehicles can hold a maximum of 6 riders our automobile liability insurance coverage is with a limit of not less than $1,000,000 each accident.

Operations Base in Santa Ana
Owned by us, our base has approximately 2600 sq. feet of office space and more than 5000 sq. feet of logistics and maintenance facilities, we employ six full-time staff members in our administrative offices and contract with a dozen more on -site fleet - maintenance technicians and specialists in our independently owned and operated service facility.

All scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, with the exception of certain bodywork and machine shop work, is performed here. Our maintenance facility is fully equipped to easily perform maintenance ranging from routine oil changes to complete driveline and chassis rebuilds. Our shop meets all local zoning requirements and possesses the equipment and is staffed by highly trained and certified technicians.

Driver Training & Policies
All drivers with California Yellow Cab (CYC) are independent contractors, as is the case with all cab companies in the County.

All applicants must be able to produce the following:
• An Excellent Driving Record
o Current, valid California Driver's License
o Verified ten-year (l -I6) driving record with no more than two moving violations within the previous three years, and ZERO serious violations such as reckless driving, or driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• OCTAP Taxi Driver Permit
o Pass a drug and alcohol screening initially, annually, and randomly o Be Live Scan fingerprinted with the Orange County Sheriffs Department o Successfully pass a State and Federal background check o Provide proof of legal residency
o Be placed on the DMV Pull -Notice program
o Be photographed with copies placed into their permanent OCTAP record Only after successfully producing the above will a prospective driver be considered for a Lease under the CYC livery.

CYC uses a driver training program comprised of a four -module training platform called Operations, Safety, Service and Review (OSSR). OSSR focuses much more in-depth on customer service, fare collection policies and sensitivity training for providing rides to

seniors and individuals with disabilities. Encompassing some 30 hours of classroom and on -the -road training, and typically presented over a 3 -day training period.

Training occurs before the driver is leased a vehicle, annually and refresher trainings are available every six months. If there is an update or changes to program guidelines trainings are conducted right away to ensure all drivers understand and follow the new guidelines.

All of the seniors programs we service have asked that our drivers wear a white shirt with dark trousers and dark -color shoes. Drivers have the option of participating or not, but if they elect to participate, they must adhere the programs' requirements.

Drug and Alcohol Policy
CYC is dedicated in providing safe, dependable, and efficient transportation services to our customers. Our safety -sensitive employees' and affiliate's use of illegal drugs and misuse of alcohol poses a significant risk to public safety, as well as the employee's and affiliate's health and wellbeing, and can cause loss of efficiency, productivity, or a disruptive work environment. CYC's drug and alcohol policy is intended to comply with all applicable State and Federal regulations governing workplace anti -drug use and alcohol misuse programs in the transportation industry. They include DOT 49 CFR Part 40 as amended, ("Procedures for Transportation Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing Programs"); FTA 49 CFR Part 655 (Prevention of Alcohol Misuse and Prohibited Drug Use in Transit Operations"); DOT 49 CFR Part 29 ("Drug -Free Workplace Act of 1988"); and CA Govt. Code Section 8350 et. Seq. ("Drug -Free Workplace Act of 1990"). The policy incorporates the requirements of above regulations for safety -sensitive

employees and others when so noted (this policy is available at any time). Drivers undergo an FTA Drug test initially (pre -employment) and must be enrolled in a random pool.

Agenda Item No: 1 .i

PLACENTIA CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: May 19, 2026
Submitted by: Nicolette Drulias
From: City Administrator
Subject:

AMENDMENT TO CITY COUNCIL POLICY NO. 370 REGARDING THE CITY'S USE OF

SOCIAL MEDIA
Financial Impact:

None.

Summary:

The proposed amendment to City Council Policy No. 370 updates the City's Social Media Policy to reflect current social media practices, operational needs, legal considerations, and communications standards. The revised policy clarifies oversight responsibilities, establishes updated expectations for departmental account management, strengthens guidance related to personal and professional use of social media by City employees and public officials, and adds provisions addressing accessibility, cybersecurity, crisis communications, records retention, public records compliance, and the use of City -owned digital assets. Adoption of the amended policy will provide clearer direction for the administration of official City social media accounts and help ensure consistency, transparency, and compliance across all City departments.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended that the City Council:

Adopt the amended City Council Policy No. 370 related to the City's use of social media and amend the City's Policy Manual to include said policy.

Strategic Plan Statement:

This item conforms to Strategic Plan Goal No. 5: Organizational Excellence, to cultivate a high -performing, well -run organization that delivers exceptional service and operates with transparency, accountability, honesty, and integrity. Updating the City's Social Media Policy supports this goal by strengthening internal guidance, improving consistency in public communications, enhancing accountability, and ensuring the City's social media practices remain transparent, professional, and compliant with applicable laws and standards.

Discussion:

The proposed amendments to City Council Policy No. 370 modernize the City's Social Media Policy to reflect current practices, legal considerations, and operational needs. The updated policy retains the overall structure of the existing policy while incorporating the following key 175

changes:
• Modernized Definition of Social Media: Expands the definition to include current and future platforms (e.g., Facebook, X, Instagram, Linkedln, YouTube, Nextdoor). • Clarified Oversight and Account Management: Confirms centralized oversight by the City Administrator's Office and Communications and Marketing Manager, while allowing departments to manage day-to-day content for operational communication. • Crisis Communications Protocol: Establishes authority to centralize messaging during emergencies through the City Administrator's Office, Communications and Marketing Manager, or designated Public Safety Department Public Information Officers. • Accessibility Standards: Adds guidance for accessible content (e.g., alt text, captions) and references compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA and the City's Digital Accessibility Design Guidelines.
• Records Retention Update: Replaces vendor -specific language with a City -approved automated social media archiving system to maintain flexibility and ensure compliance with public records requirements.
• Comment Policy Enhancements: Clarifies limited public forum standards, reinforces viewpoint neutrality, and refines categories for content removal, including disruptive, repetitive, or spam content.
• City Ownership of Accounts: Specifies that all official City social media accounts, usernames, content, and followers are City property.
• Employee Personal Use Guidance: Strengthens expectations regarding personal social media use, including restrictions on sharing non-public information and guidance on reposting City content.
• Media Release and Content Standards: Requires appropriate consent for images and video, particularly for minors, and prohibits misleading or manipulated content. • Cybersecurity and Account Access Controls: Establishes requirements for credential management, multi -factor authentication where available, and timely removal of access when no longer needed.

These updates were prepared in consultation with the City Attorney's Office to improve clarity, strengthen consistency across departments, and reduce legal and operational risk while supporting effective communication with the community.

Financial Summary:

None.

EMPLOYEE/PERSONNEL MATTERS POLICY NO. 370

SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY

PURPOSE
This document defines the social networking and social media policy for City of Placentia (the "City" or "Agency"). To address the fast -changing landscape of the internet and the way residents communicate and obtain information online, City departments may consider using social media tools to reach a broader audience.

The City of Placentia encourages the use of social media to further the goals of the City and the missions of its departments, where appropriate. The City has an overriding interest and expectation in deciding what is "spoken" on its behalf on social media sites.

This policy establishes guidelines for the use of social media by City employees and officials on official City social media accounts.

For purposes of this policy, "social media" refers to internet-based platforms that allow users to create, share, and interact with content and engage in public communication.

Examples include Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, Linkedln, YouTube, Nextdoor, and other current or future social networking or content -sharing platforms used for public communication. For purposes of this policy, "comments" include information, articles, pictures, videos or any other form of communicative content posted on a City of Placentia social media site.

OVERSIGHT AND ENFORCEMENT
Employees representing the Agency through social media outlets or participating in social media features on Agency websites must maintain a high level of ethical conduct and professional decorum. Failure to do so is grounds for revoking the privilege to participate in Agency social media sites, blogs, or other social media features. Information must be presented following professional standards for good grammar, spelling, brevity, clarity and accuracy, and avoid jargon, obscure terminology, excessive emojis or hashtags, or acronyms. Agency employees recognize that the content and messages they post on social media websites are public and may be cited as official Agency statements. Social media should not be used to circumvent other Agency communication policies, including news media policy requirements. Agency employees may not publish information on Agency social media sites that includes:
• Confidential information
• Copyright violations
• False/Inaccurate information
• Profanity, racist, sexist, or derogatory content or comments • Partisan political views/endorsements
• Personal views or opinions
• Commercial endorsements or SPAM
