City of Santa Ana Civic Engagement Youth Workforce Development Project Funded by CaliforniaVolunteers

Section 1: Program Goal

1. What does your city hope to gain from this program/are there strategic goals this program can help your city meet?

The City of Santa Ana through its Workforce Development Board (SAWDB) intends to provide meaningful work experience to local youth, particularly those who are historically part of underrepresented groups and have difficulty finding employment due to the pandemic. The focus will be on low -income youth, justice involved youth and other marginalized groups. Strategically, t he City will strengthen existing partnerships and establish new ones with agencies and organizations committed to increasing youth employment, providing career guidance and fostering that same commitment in t he youth they serve. Youth, will be provided with meaningful work experience coupled with intensive career exploration. Lastly, the project aims to address issues of food insecurity by collaborating with food recovery organizations and services to help fee d those in need. The lead for this project is the SAWDB, the designated administrator and operator of workforce development programming for the City of Santa Ana and recipient of federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and other workforce development funding.

Section 2: Program Design

1. Which focus area(s) will youth be working on (food insecurity, climate change, etc.)? If other focus areas are addressed, please describe.

Youth will be working directly on projects and assignments addressing food insecurity, the impacts of climate change, and post-pandemic recovery.

2. Do you plan to sub-grant with CBOs? If so, please name each organization and any prior experience they have running similar programs or the process by which you will select CBO partners.

The City of Santa Ana will provide services to youth using both in-house program staff and partnerships with Community Based Organizations (CBOs). In house program staff will include personnel from both the Santa Ana WORK Center and the Santa Ana Public Library.

The WORK Center has decades of implementing youth programs specifically through a “Daisy Wheel” service delivery model. The underlying philosophy of the Daisy Wheel is an “All Youth One System” concept, where resources are leveraged from a network of Youth Service Providers. The concept allowed youth regardless of eligibility to receive services from the various partners of a Youth Service Providers Network (YSPN).

Exhibit A Scope of Work
JP1012
City of Santa Ana
EXHIBIT 1
City Council 8 – 4 6/7/2022

The YSPN consists of Service Providers that collectively offer various youth services in a creative and interactive manner. The concept, allows the Service Provider to focus on what service they specialize in and do best. The YSPN will promote broad-based coordination and cooperation among all youth Service Providers and to provide the technical assistance needed to make the network a success. The WORK Center as the Navigator will provide partners with structure and guidance toward meeting the grant objectives, convene and facilitate partner meetings, establish partner subcontracts, monitor compliance and performance, collect and report participant data, and disburse grant funds.

The SAWDB plans to engage the Santa Ana Public Library, which operates various successful youth engagement program s including BrainFuse and Universal Class.

Both programs provide online training courses along with robust support to help users master academic concepts. The library also let’s library card holders “borrow” the internet with their library card by providing youth WI -FI Hotspots, for those members of our community who do not have internet access at home. The City will work toward the expansion of these programs to engage more youth, up to age 18.

The Orange County Conservation Corps (OCCC) is a current sub -recipient of Workforce Innovation and Opportunity (WIOA) Youth funding from the City of Santa Ana. OCCC has a long standing record of success fully operating youth workforce development programs for the City and has particularly been engaged with older (18+) youth experiencing multiple barriers, such as foster youth, the justice -involved, and very low-income.

Working Wardrobes is also a subrecipient of funding from the City. Based on current performance outcomes, the City plans to engage Working Wardrobes in program delivery services for this grant as well. Working Wardrobes has been working with the City to help implement programs for justice - involved people for the past two years.

They have unique expertise in engaging people prior to release from incarceration to help ease their transition to life outside.

Additionally, program design is underway with two large food banks – Community Action Partnership of OC and Second Harvest - both serve the region to have youth fellows work in distribution, warehousing and growing fresh food.

As it is the goal of the Ci ty to provide a broad, inclusive program for eligible youth, additional CBOs may be engaged if gaps in services are identified.

3. What activities will youth be working on? Please offer a brief, several sentence description of each job activity youth will be undertaking and any partners that will be involved in running that opportunity.

The Santa Ana WORK Center, will provide paid summer work experiences as recreational leaders, community center attendants, and other support staff to restore EXHIBIT 1
City Council 8 – 5 6/7/2022
and reinvigorate Community Services programming at parks, community centers, libraries, and family resource centers. This effort is related to post-pandemic recovery.

Santa Ana Public Library will provide online support for the provision of online career exploration including the expansion of the 4 youth WI-FI hotspot program. The second project will engage youth in researching and documenting pan demic recovery efforts throughout the city, including City -led efforts to rejuvenate the local economy and stabilize its residents living conditions, providing a street-level view of successes and challenges. Using mixed media and particularly video produc tion, participants will create a public service message sharing the results of their research.

Youth participating with the OCCC will engage in multiple projects related to both food insecurity and climate resilience. While addressing food insecurity youth will load and unload trucks, package boxes of food, deliver to community pantries, and assist community partners with labor support at drive -up distribution events (traffic control, set-up logistics, and data collection). While addressing climate resili ence youth will clear fire fuels from public spaces, remove debris from waterways, remove non - native/invasive trees/plants, install native plants and perform other erosion control measures. Much of the climate resilience work will be at the direction of the Orange County Conservation Corps and performed at public parks, trails and wetlands.

Working Wardrobes will coordinate with the County of Orange, OC Sheriff’s Department provide a workforce readiness program that includes pre -release services. This program will offer support and workforce readiness services for participants pre-release as well as post-release.

4. What is the proposed start date for programming?

The proposed start date for programming is March 1, 2022. The Santa Ana City Council must approve new and/or expanded contracts prior to program implementation therefore the start date may be adjusted as necessary.

Section 3: Youth Recruitment/Development

1. How will the city recruit youth?

The City and its CBO partners have established networks that will be relied upon to disseminate program information. For example, the Youth Services Provider Network through the WORK Center holds meetings on a monthly basis, which brings together community serving organizations who have a youth focus.

The City will also use various media resources including issuance of periodic news releases through its Public Information Officer; posting of electronic program announcements/flyers to social media including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram and program information on the City’s website.

EXHIBIT 1
City Council 8 – 6 6/7/2022

Other outreach strategies will include social media, public service announcements, posting physical program announcements/flyers at all Santa Ana library branches, recreation centers, community and family resource centers, high school and college career counseling centers, and other high-traffic public spaces, distributing e- program announcements to utilities customers and housing voucher recipients; and delivering presentations to probation officers, social services agencies, guidance counselors, and other local youth-serving entities.

2. If you would like to propose your own priority criteria for participants in this program for California Volunteers approval, please do so in this section.

N/A

3. What wrap around services, if any, is the city or subgrantee planning on offering to youth?

The City, through its subgrantees, will provide career counseling, career exploration, case management, supportive services (transportation, gas cards, clothing, and assistance in locating child care), linkages with alternative secondary education and adult continuing education, and other appropriate referrals.

4. What wage will youth be paid, if known? What length of time do you anticipate the youth serving?

Youth will be paid $15 dollars for work performed. If a particular assignment exceeds entry level skill sets and proficiency that will be considered and may result in a higher hourly wage. There will be a year-round and a summer track. Year-round assignments will last from 6-12 months while summer assignments will be from 8-10 weeks long.

Section 4: Metrics/Outcomes

1. Can the city provide the required metrics listed above to CaliforniaVolunteers?

Yes, the baseline metrics are similar to those already captured and recorded for other workforce development programs. However, the additional metrics related to participant outcomes and satisfaction 12 months after program completion will be very challenging as youth participants are very hard to locate and/or unwilling to respond to inquiries/surveys.

2. If not, please indicate which metrics the city is unable to provide.

The following three metrics will prove challenging and we request that they be waived:

EXHIBIT 1
City Council 8 – 7 6/7/2022
• Percentage of youth who report job satisfaction after one year of employment, as reported by a survey.
• Percentage of youth who report an interest in a career in public service after one year of employment, as measured by a survey.
• Percentage of youth employed in public service after one year of employment.

3. Are there other metrics you will be collecting to determine success of program? If so, please indicate which metrics.

No.

Section 5: Budget/Staffing/Communications

1. What is your proposed staffing plan for the program for the city and/or any subgrantees?

The subcontracted teams consist of program managers and specialists (outreach, intake, and eligibility technicians, case managers, and job developers), crew/field supervisors, and project managers. These teams will manage the day-to-day aspects of the program, including as their titles suggest, recruiting participants, ensuring their eligibility, orienting them to the program, assigning them to a work crew, supervising their work/activity, providing them with appropriate wraparound services or referrals and documenting services delivered.

Project SAY is staffed by City of Santa Ana employees who will supervise and direct youth placements at their respective worksites.

City of Santa Ana WDB/WORK Center staff will provide administrative support including fiscal and programmatic oversight, compliance review, and tracking and reporting participant progress/outcomes.

2. Does your city commit to using CaliforniaVolunteers developed branding for this program and participating in CaliforniaVolunteers-organized trainings/curriculum, if asked?

Yes.

3. Are you interested in participating in a program launch media event with CaliforniaVolunteers?

Yes.

TOPIC: First Amendment to THRIVE DDA and Consent to Assignment of Leases and Rents Authorization
AGENDA TITLE:

Approve First Amendment to the Disposition and Development Agreement with THRIVE Santa Ana, Inc. for the Development of a Microfarm at 1901 W Walnut Avenue and Authorize the City Manager to execute a Consent to Assignment of Leases and Rents Agreement

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Authorize the City Manager to execute First Amendment to Disposition and Development Agreement (agreement no. A-2020-044) with THRIVE, Santa Ana, Inc. to extend the term for one year, allow right of entry for soil remediation, update the schedule of performance, and amend the ground lease, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Consent to Assignment of Leases and Rents Agreement with THRIVE, Santa Ana, Inc., subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.

DISCUSSION
On March 3, 2020 the City Council approved Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) with THRIVE Santa Ana, Inc. (THRIVE) for the development of a microfarm at 1901 West Walnut Street, APN# 007-332-08, a 0.38-acre City-owned property.

The DDA was designed to achieve the development of the site in a coordinated and comprehensive manner. The terms of the DDA stipulate that THRIVE, as the developer, must obtain entitlements, construction financing, permanent financing, evidence of equity, and obtain building permits, prior the City executing a Ground Lease attached to the DDA.

Once the terms of the DDA are met, the City Manager is authorized to execute the Ground Lease for a negotiated 99-year term, at a lease rate of $1 per month.

The DDA allowed for a one-year administrative extension, which was requested by THRIVE and approved by the City. This extends the DDA through June 18, 2022. THRIVE City Council 9 – 1 6/7/2022

is requesting additional time to meet the required milestones. THRIVE is also requesting right of entry during the DDA period to commence soil remediation that is now necessary for the site due to a change in the plans from utilizing raised planter beds to farming in the ground. To accommodate these requests, a First Amendment to the DDA (Exhibit 1) is required.

Additionally, in an effort for THRIVE to secure $100,000 of financing, THRIVE is requesting that the City authorize a Consent to Assignment of Leases and Rents (Exhibit 2). The Ground Lease stipulates that THRIVE may secure funding for this project by assigning THRIVE’s interest under the lease. This agreement identifies Clearinghouse Community Development Financial Institution (CCDFI) as an assignee as a lender to THRIVE.

A summary of the proposed amendments to the DDA and Ground Lease, and terms of the Consent to Assignment of Leases and Rents are outlined in the table below:

partnership with a local food cooperative, items would be sold through a community- supported production model, wherein members pay a monthly subscription to receive a box of produce at their home, or to be available for pickup. An on-site parking lot would host the open-air markets.

THRIVE Fiscal Update
THRIVE reports that the estimated costs for project completion are $544,496. Of this amount, THRIVE reports having secured $294,496 of funding for construction, will be able to secure $100,000 with the approval of the Consent to Assignment of Lease and Terms, and is in the process of identifying and securing the additional $150,000 needed.

THRIVE’s expenses for the project to date are $68,687, inclusive of surveys, environmental report, permit fees, architectural and engineering costs, and loan fees.

Project Update

The site was rezoned in 2019 to C2 (General Commercial), and the proposed microfarm is a permitted use. The construction plans for the microfarm were formally submitted to the Planning and Building Agency (PBA) for review on March 30, 2022 and corrections were provided to THRIVE on May 6, 2022. PBA is now awaiting resubmittal from THRIVE. In addition, THRIVE has provided street improvements, grading, and water quality management plans to the Public Works Agency which are currently under review.

Background
THRIVE is a community land trust dedicated to the stewardship of land for the permanent benefit of local residents. THRIVE was established in 2017 by local nonprofit leaders and residents to acquire land in Santa Ana for the purposes of providing community benefits, such as affordable housing, parks, urban microfarms, and marketplaces for small businesses.

Since 2016, nonprofit groups such as Santa Ana Building Healthy Communities, who are now part of the THRIVE Board of Directors, have conducted community engagement to educate local residents and inform them about the benefits of community land trusts which include promotion of health and wellness, supporting long-term housing affordability, and building generational wealth. THRIVE conducted community outreach for the site, inclusive of over 20 events and surveys of the surrounding area. Based on the outreach conducted, THRIVE determined that a microfarm would be a community benefit for the area. This project would be the first acquisition and development project by THRIVE.

A Community Benefits Report prepared by THRIVE describes the positive impacts of a microfarm to the community. These benefits include the following: 1) making organic produce and other healthy options more available in the local neighborhood; 2) implementing a membership-based model to provide monthly baskets of vegetables, fruit and other garden products to members at a low cost; 3) creating worker cooperative jobs; and 4) encouraging participation from local residents which can contribute to the local neighborhood economy, civic engagement, and prevention of costly health conditions including obesity and mental health illnesses.

Surplus Land
Government Code Section 54234 regarding surplus land stipulates that if a local agency, as of September 30, 2019, has entered into an exclusive negotiation agreement (ENA) to dispose of property or legally binding agreement, the new provisions effective January 1, 2020 do not apply, provided that the disposition is completed not later than December 31, 2022. As the property is under an ENA since September 17, 2019, the new provisions do not apply and this property is not subject to the Surplus Lands Act so long as the Ground Lease is executed prior to December 31, 2022. To ensure compliance with the requirements, the Ground Lease must be executed by December 15, 2022, to allow the City sufficient time for processing.

FISCAL IMPACT
Upon completion of milestones in the DDA by THRIVE, the City will execute a ground lease with THRIVE. The City will receive $1 per month from THRIVE for the term of the lease.

TOPIC: Recognition of Revenue in the General Fund for Certain Unclaimed Deposits AGENDA TITLE:

Approve the Recognition of $94,097.52 of Revenue for Certain Unclaimed Monies from Various City Funds

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the recognition of $94,097.52 of revenue in the General Fund for certain unclaimed deposits, as allowed by state law.

DISCUSSION
Annually, the Finance and Management Services Agency (FMSA) reviews a listing of unclaimed funds that are older than three (3) years. The nature of these funds includes unclaimed funds related to deposits, commissary account, and other payments made by the City. State law allows the City to publish a notification of the unclaimed funds, offering the public an opportunity to claim them. In the absence of any claims, the City can recognize them as revenue. State law also allows the City to transfer unclaimed funds, held for a period of one (1) year, without publication for individual items $15 or less or any amount if the depositor’s name is unknown. FMSA has identified $94,097.52 of unclaimed funds that can be recorded as revenue in the General Fund for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. The breakout of the unclaimed funds is as follows:

Funds Greater Than $15 Amount
Unclaimed deposits & funds $47,093.11
Uncashed checks $46,514.60
Total $93,607.71
Funds Less Than $15 Amount
Uncashed checks $489.81
Grand Total $94,097.52

Due Diligence Efforts
To ensure the public was aware of the existence of unclaimed funds on file with the City, FMSA staff published a Public Notice (Exhibit 1) in the Orange County Register in April 2022 for two (2) successive weeks in accordance with the applicable Government Code sections. The City did not receive any inquiries regarding the unclaimed funds as a result of the publication. Part of the unclaimed funds included individual items that were less than $15. These funds were not included in the publication per Government Code section 50055.

If the City Council approves the Recommended Action, unclaimed funds in the amount of $94,097.52 will be recorded as revenue in the General Fund, in accordance with the Government Code section 50053.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.

FISCAL IMPACT
Unclaimed funds in the amount of $94,097.52 will be reclassified to the General Fund (account no. 01102002-57010 – Miscellaneous Recoveries).

TOPIC: Water Supply Shortage Level Two

AGENDA TITLE
Adopt a Resolution Ordering the Implementation of Water Conservation Actions for a Level Two Water Supply Shortage

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution ordering the implementation of water conservation actions consistent with Water Supply Shortage Level Two as defined in Chapter 39 of the Municipal Code and the adopted Water Shortage Contingency Plan.

DISCUSSION
On March 28, 2022, the Governor of California issued Executive Order N-7-22, which directs new state and local efforts related to the ongoing drought. The Governor called on the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) to consider requiring local water suppliers to implement response actions for a Level 2 water supply shortage as described in their Water Shortage Contingency Plans, which identifies appropriate actions that will conserve water across all sectors. On May 24, 2022, the SWRCB adopted an emergency water conservation regulation in response to the Governor’s Executive Order, banning irrigation of non-functional turf and requiring all urban water suppliers to implement the Level 2 conservation actions identified in their Water Shortage Contingency Plans (WSCP) by June 10, 2022.

A Level 2 Water Supply Shortage condition exists when the City determines a water supply shortage, as defined by the procedures described in the City’s WSCP. Due to the Governor’s Executive Order and SWRCB regulation, the City will implement the demand reduction actions that would be required if experiencing a Level 2 water supply shortage.

Adoption of the resolution (Exhibit 1) formally orders the conservation and demand reduction actions associated with a Level 2 water supply shortage.

This level will add further water conservation measures, in addition to the current Permanent Water Conservation Requirements and all Water Shortage Level 1 measures.

Levels 1 and 2 include, but are not limited to, the following additional measures that will comply with the upcoming State mandate:
All leaks, breaks, or other malfunctions in the water user's plumbing, irrigation or distribution system must be repaired within 48 hours of notification by the City, unless other arrangements are made with the City.
Watering of a lawn, landscape or other turf areas between the hours of 6:00 am and 6:00 pm is prohibited, except by use of hand-held device, hose equipped with an automatic shutoff device, or for adjusting or repairing an irrigation system for short periods of time.
Irrigation shall be limited to two days per week for turf watering when using potable water. Plant containers, trees, shrubs and vegetable gardens may be watered additional days using only drip irrigation or hand watering. Filling or re-filling ornamental lakes is prohibited. Ornamental lakes and ponds that sustain aquatic life of significant value and were actively managed prior to the shortage declaration are exempt.
Subject to applicable law, the City may impose drought rates and surcharges if deemed necessary.
The City may reduce potable water allocations in all categories to meet the available water supply.

Additionally, the Executive Order and SWRCB regulation bans the irrigation of non- functional turf with potable water in commercial, industrial, and institutional (CII) sectors.

Non-functional turf is defined as being solely ornamental and not regularly used for human recreational purposes, or for civic or community events.

In support of these endeavors, staff will intensify ongoing public education efforts on drought awareness and water conservation practices. The Public Works Agency’s Water Resources Division budgets for water conservation outreach activities annually, which include organizing and attending community events to educate customers on the methods and benefits of reducing water consumption.

Staff Report
June 7, 2022
TOPIC: Assembly Bill 361
AGENDA TITLE:

Use of Teleconferencing for Meetings of City Council and All Boards, Committees, and Commissions Pursuant to the Provisions of Assembly Bill 361

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution to consider continuing the use of teleconferencing for City Council, board, committee, and commission meetings pursuant to the provisions of Assembly Bill 361 for the next 30 days.

DISCUSSION
On March 17, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-29-20, suspending certain provisions of the Brown Act to allow legislative bodies to conduct their meetings completely telephonically or by other electronic means. City Council meetings have been conducted by Zoom with councilmembers and staff all joining from remote locations when necessary.

The suspension of certain provisions of the Brown Act was further extended by Governor Newsom on June 11, 2021 by the issuance of Executive Order N-08-21, which continued to allow completely virtual City Council (and other legislative body) meetings. This order stayed in effect until September 30, 2021.

In response, AB 361 was signed into effect by Governor Newsom on September 16, 2021.

It amends the Brown Act to allow legislative bodies to meet virtually, provided there is a state of emergency, and either (1) state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, or (2) the legislative body determines by majority vote that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees.

The City of Santa Ana’s current practices with respect to live public comment via Zoom already satisfy all of the new requirements in AB 361. Additionally, the individual legislative bodies can make their own findings for the AB 361 teleconferencing resolution City Council 12 – 1 6/7/2022

for future meetings. Determinations to continue to utilize remote meetings as allowed by AB 361 must be re-visited by the legislative body every 30 days with the support of new findings. Staff recommends this extension period to act as a helpful transitional stage for boards, committees, and commissions who still currently meet virtually.

Most recently on May 17, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-037, making the required findings under AB 361 to allow the City to continue to offer teleconference accessibility for public meetings after September 30, 2021, to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19. The attached resolution (Exhibit 1) declares additional findings to allow for the continued use of teleconferencing for City Council, board, commission, and committee meetings pursuant to AB 361.

Staff Report
June 7, 2022
TOPIC: Fiscal Year 2022-23 Miscellaneous Fee Schedule
AGENDA TITLE:

Approve Fiscal Year 2022-23 Miscellaneous Fee Resolution

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution establishing a Uniform Schedule of Miscellaneous Fees for Fiscal Year 2022-23.

DISCUSSION
The Miscellaneous Fee Resolution (Exhibit 1) is composed of various charges associated with City services provided for individual benefit; such as building and planning permits, facility use and recreation participation, and water meter installation.

Miscellaneous Fees (“fees”) are intended to recover the City’s costs associated with delivering the corresponding services. However, the collection of fees do not exceed the City’s actual costs in delivering the said service, in accordance with state law.

On an annual basis, fees and related services associated with the Miscellaneous Fee Resolution are reviewed and adjusted to reflect the City’s costs in delivering the services.

On May 12, 2022, the City Council directed staff to modify the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase from 4.3 percent to 3.5 percent for the FY 2022-23 Miscellaneous Fees.

Furthermore, each City department has confirmed that the actual cost of providing the service does not exceed the proposed fees for FY 2022-23.

The FY 2022-23 Miscellaneous Fee Schedule (Schedule) identifies all fees assessed, as well as proposed new fees and those recommended for adjustment (Exhibit 2). The Schedule includes the following items:
Four new fees in Planning and Building
Eight new fees in Public Works
Modification of 33 existing fees
o14 modified fees in Parks, Recreation and Community Services o14 modified fees in Public Works
o5 modified fees in other City departments
Deletion of 30 fees that are no longer active

If approved, all proposed fee changes become effective July 1, 2022.
