fewer restrictions for other City agencies who are currently undergoing information system enhancements and upgrades, such as the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency’s (“PRCSA”) new zoo ticketing system and reservation management system.
Subsequent to this City Council meeting, staff will be recommending the approval of both a renewal agreement and an accompanying support and maintenance agreement with System Innovators, a division of N. Harris Computer, for related EMV Chip & PIN credit card hardware purchases and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (“PCI DSS”) revenue management and cashiering software upgrades. Various City agencies currently use both TSYS and iNovah (System Innovators’ revenue management and cashiering software/hardware), to process payments and the receipt of City revenues. A component of this comprehensive upgrade to the City’s cashiering and payment system includes contingency options for additional City information systems to integrate into both Global Payments merchant processing services (TSYS & OpenEdge) as well as iNovah. The City’s iNovah revenue and management and cashiering software is then scheduled to be integrated into PRCSA’s new zoo ticketing system and existing parks and recreation reservation management system, together with the Planning & Building Agency’s new land management system, and Finance & Management Services Agency’s up-coming new business license software/platform (as an upgrade to the existing legacy system’s iNovah integration).
OpenEdge is the only common merchant processor for in-person payment transactions for PRCSA’s reservation management system and the Santa Ana Zoo’s new ticketing system. The City’s Treasury & Customer Service Division (“Treasury”) of the Finance & Management Services Agency, whose responsible for maintaining all monetary transactions related to City services, is aiming to streamline all in-person debit/credit payment transactions. Fortunately, Global Payments (aka OpenEdge/TSYS) not only has unique institutional knowledge of the City’s payment processing systems, but their amalgamation with OpenEdge opens another merchant processing payment method to be utilized by PRCSA and other City agencies in the future if necessary. Global Payments’ TSYS merchant payment processing services are already integrated into various City payment systems, the cost to implement an equivalent third-party merchant payment processing service is unknown, but would require new software and substantial additional integration expenses.
In addition to merchant payment processing services for the City’s walk-in cashiering stations, there are other related critical payment processing agreements such as the City’s online cloud-based electronic billing and payment presentation/bill print services, 24-7/365 walk-up payment kiosk services, and over-the-phone interactive voice response and payment services. Based on the synchronization of all of these payment- processing services, the City will achieve full PCI-DSS compliance, thereby transferring future credit card fraud liability from the City to the payment card providers.

First Amendment to Agreement with OpenEdge, DBA Global Payments December 20, 2022

Furthermore, renewal agreements for the City’s integrated Interactive Voice Response (“IVR”) contract and data processing, printing and mailing, and e-business services contracts have been constructed to be co-extensive with one another. Therefore, staff recommends the approval of a first amendment to agreement with Global Payments (TSYS/OpenEdge) to assure annual merchant payment processing services for the City’s PRCSA reservation management system and the Zoo’s new ticketing system. By approving this first amendment to agreement with Global Payments, City Council will also be harmonizing agreements with other critical payment processing contracts.

Please note, if there is an insured vs. insured exclusion on the Consultants policy, carefully review with the Consultant and their insurance carrier on whether being added as an additional insured onto the Consultants policy removes your organizations ability to file suit against the Consultant and draw upon the policy should final adjudication in a lawsuit state that the Consultant shall pay damages to your organization. 2.

The Entity may require the Consultant to provide proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention. 6.

Merchant's use of such Software shall be limited to that expressly authorized by Global Direct. Global Direct's suppliers are intended third party beneficiaries of this Card Services Agreement to the extent of any terms herein pertaining to such suppliers' ownership rights; such suppliers have the right to rely on and directly enforce such terms against Merchant. The operating instructions or user guides will instruct Merchant in the proper use of the terminals, other hardware or payment application(s), and Merchant shall use and operate the terminals, other hardware or payment application(s) only in such manner. If Merchant has purchased the relevant maintenance/help desk service hereunder, Merchant will promptly notify Global Direct of any equipment malfunction, failure or other incident resulting in the loss of use of the equipment or software or need for repair or maintenance, whereupon Global Direct will make the necessary arrangements to obtain required maintenance or replacement software or hardware.

that the signature on the sales slip will be genuine and authorized by cardholder and not forged or unauthorized; (f) that Merchant has taken all reasonable steps to verify the identity of the cardholder and the genuineness of the card and the transaction; (g) that the sales transaction shall have been consummated and the sales slip prepared in full compliance with the provisions of the Card Association Rules; (h) provided that Merchant has not indicated on the Merchant Application that it accepts mail order, telephone order, or internet-based transactions, that none of the sales transactions submitted hereunder represent sales by telephone, or mail, or Internet, or where the card is not physically present at the Merchant's location and swiped through Merchant's terminal, unless Merchant is specifically authorized in writing by Global Direct to submit such sales slips for purchase, (i) to the extent Merchant has indicated on the Merchant Application that it accepts mail order, telephone order, or internet-based transactions, Merchant shall not submit such a transaction to Global Direct and Member for processing until the goods and/or services are shipped or performed, as applicable, unless otherwise permitted by the card associations or network organizations, (j) that sales transactions submitted hereunder for purchase representing sales to any principal, partner, affiliate, or proprietor of Merchant shall not constitute an unreasonable portion of Merchants transactions relative to the Merchants legitimate business requirements, (k) that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each sales transaction submitted hereunder and the handling, retention, and storage of information related thereto, will comply with the Card Association Rules, and that all of the information contained in this Card Services Agreement (including the Merchant Application) is true and correct. In the event that any of the foregoing warranties or representations is breached, the affected sales slips or other indebtedness may be refused, or prior acceptance revoked and charged back to the Merchant. Furthermore, if Merchant submits for purchase hereunder a sales transaction that is not the result of a sale of Merchant's goods or services offered to the general public or if Merchant submits any sales transactions for purchase hereunder which represents an unreasonable sales transaction to any principal, partner, or proprietor, of Merchant, such sales transaction may be refused or charged back. Merchant must notify Global Direct if Merchant elects to use the terminal service of American Express, Novus, or any other third-party provider. If Merchant elects to use a third-party terminal provider, that provider becomes Merchant's agent for the delivery of card transactions to Global Direct via the applicable card-processing network. Global Direct and Member shall have no responsibility for or liability in connection with any hardware, software or services Merchant receives from a third party agent, even if Global Direct collects monies with respect to such hardware, software or services. Neither Global Direct nor Member makes any representation or warranty with respect to such agents access to or ability to integrate with the products, services, and systems of Global Direct and any such access or ability may terminate at any time and Global Direct shall have no obligation to advise Merchant of such termination. Merchant agrees to assume full responsibility and liability for any failure of such agent to comply with the Card Association Rules, including without limitation any violation, which results in a chargeback to the Merchant. Global Direct and Member have no responsibility for any card transactions until it receives data for the card transaction in the format required by Global Direct. Merchant also agrees that the obligation hereunder to reimburse the Merchant for the value of the card transactions captured by an agent is limited to the value of the transactions (less applicable fees) received by the card-processing network from the agent. Neither Member, nor Global Direct, nor any Supplier makes any representations or warranties, express or implied, including without limitation any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose with respect to any terminal, any equipment, software or services leased, sold, or otherwise furnished hereunder.

For purposes of this Agreement, including the foregoing indemnities to the extent not prohibited under applicable law, Merchant is responsible and liable for the acts and omissions of its employees, agents and representatives (whether or not acting within the scope of their duties). LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Neither Member nor Global Direct nor any independent sales organization referring or providing services to Merchant (ISO) shall be liable for failure to provide the Services or delay in providing the Services including processing delays or other non-performance if such failure is due to any cause or condition beyond such Partys reasonable control.

Under no circumstances shall Global Direct, ISO, or Member by liable for special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, including lost profits, revenues and business opportunities, arising out of or relating in any way to this Card Services Agreement, even if Global Direct, ISO, or Member has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Under no circumstances shall Global Direct, ISO, or Member be liable for any settlement amounts pertaining to Switched Transactions; Merchants recourse therefore shall be to the applicable card issuer. Member shall not be responsible or liable to Merchant for any action taken by Member (or the results thereof) that is authorized by this Agreement. It is agreed that in no event will Global Direct, ISO, or Member be liable for any claim, loss, billing error, imposition of any allegedly improper fee(s), damage or expense arising out of or relating in any way to this Card Services Agreement which is not reported in writing to Global Direct by Merchant within 60 days of such failure to perform, or, in the event of a billing error or the imposition of any allegedly improper fee(s), within 90 days of the date of the invoice or applicable statement.

This Card Services Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for an initial term of one year from the Effective Date (the Initial Term); provided, however, that if Merchant is receiving these Terms and Conditions as an amendment to an existing Card Services Agreement, the amendment shall not affect the then-existing term. The Card Services Agreement will automatically renew for additional one-year periods (Renewal Term or Renewal Terms, and together with the Initial Term, the Term) unless Merchant gives 30 days advance written notice of termination prior to the end of the then-current term. This Card Services Agreement is expressly made subject to the limitations of the Merchants state constitution. Nothing herein shall constitute, nor be deemed to constitute, the creation of a debt or multiyear fiscal obligation or an obligation of future appropriations by Merchant, contrary to the any constitutional, statutory or charter debt limitation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Card Services Agreement, with respect to any financial obligation of Merchant which may arise under this Card Services Agreement in any fiscal year, if the budget
City Council

26 12/20/2022
or other means of appropriations for any such year fails to provide funds in sufficient amounts to discharge such obligation, such failure shall not constitute a default or breach of this Card Services Agreement, including any sub-agreement, attachment, schedule, or exhibit thereto, by the Merchant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Global Direct or Member may terminate or suspend performance of this Card Services Agreement or any portion thereof upon written notice to Merchant. Furthermore, Global Direct may terminate this Card Services Agreement at any time without notice upon Merchant's default in performing under any provision of this Card Services Agreement; upon an unauthorized conversion of all or any part of Merchant's activity to mail order, telephone order, Internet order, or to any activity where the card is not physically present and swiped through the Merchant's terminal or other card reader; upon any failure to follow the Card Acceptance Guide or any Card Association Rules, upon any misrepresentation by Merchant; upon commencement of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings by or against the Merchant; upon a material change in the Merchant's average ticket or volume as stated in the Merchant Application; where the rules or regulations of any card association require that Member and/or Global Direct terminate and/or suspend this Card Services Agreement; or in the event Global Direct or Member reasonably deems itself insecure (including, without limitation, credit, operational, reputational, financial, technological, security and/or fraud risk or exposure) in continuing this Card Services Agreement. In addition, a termination by Global Direct shall serve as a termination of the entire Card Services Agreement, including with regard to any ACH Transaction Services provided hereunder. In the event that Global Direct and Member breach the terms and conditions hereof, the Merchant may, at its option, give written notice to Global Direct and Member of its intention to terminate this Card Services Agreement unless such breach is remedied within 30 days of such notice. Failure to remedy such a breach shall make this Card Services Agreement terminable, at the option of the Merchant, at the end of such 30-day period unless notification is withdrawn. Any Merchant deposit of sales or credit slips that is accepted by Global Direct and Member or by a designated depository after the effective date of termination will be returned to Merchant and will not be credited (or debited) to Merchant's Account(s). If the deposit has already been posted to Merchant's Account(s), said posting will be reversed and the deposit returned to Merchant. Termination of this Card Services Agreement shall not affect Merchant's obligations which have accrued prior to termination or which relate to any indebtedness purchased hereunder prior to termination, including but not limited to chargebacks or liability assessments imposed, received, or processed after termination. In the event of termination, all equipment leased from, and software provided by, Global Direct including but not limited to imprinters, terminals, and printers; all supplies; Card Acceptance Guides; and operating instructions must be returned immediately to Global Direct at Merchant's expense. RETURNED ITEMS/CHARGEBACKS. If a cardholder disputes any transaction, if a transaction is charged back for any reason by a cardholder or the card issuing institution, or if Global Direct or Member has any reason to believe an indebtedness previously purchased is questionable, not genuine, or is otherwise unacceptable, the amount of such indebtedness may be charged back and deducted from any payment due to Merchant or may be charged against any of Merchant's Accounts or the Reserve Account (as defined below). Merchant acknowledges and agrees that it is bound by the
City Council
26 –
27 12/20/2022
Card Association Rules with respect to any chargeback. Merchant further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for providing Global Direct and Member with any available information to re-present a chargeback and that, regardless of any information it provides or does not provide Global Direct and Member in connection with a chargeback, or any other reason, Merchant shall be solely responsible for the liability related to such chargeback.

Merchant agrees to act consistently with the understanding that said accounts and secured property under this Card Services Agreement are free of all such preferences, claims or stays by reason of and as allowed by any such law. The scope of the security interest, and Merchant's (on behalf of itself and its affiliated entities) instructions to its financial institutions to accept withdrawal requests from Global Direct, Member, and Merchant's agreement to hold such institutions harmless and to indemnify them, to the extent not prohibited under applicable law, are described above in section 15.

TOPIC: Second Amendment to the Agreement with Aramark Correctional Services, LLC AGENDA TITLE:
Approve Second Amendment to the Agreement with Aramark Correctional Services, LLC (General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute the second amendment to the agreement with Aramark Correctional Services, LLC to provide inmate food service and commissary management in an additional amount of $896,152, including a 12.40-percent Consumer Price Index increase adjustment, for a total aggregate amount not to exceed $4,478,718 for the agreement term ending on June 30, 2023, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
On October 20, 2020, the City Council approved a three-year agreement with Aramark Correctional Services, LLC (“Aramark”) after a competitive Request for Proposal process to provide inmate food service and commissary management at the Santa Ana Jail.
Aramark Correctional Services, LLC has been the provider of inmate food services since 1997 and continues to perform these services professionally and competently. All meals are prepared based on the State of California Title 15 nutritional requirements and all Orange County Health Department health and safety requirements. Through this agreement, Aramark also provides catering services for various City functions and operates the inmate commissary program and Code-7 cafeteria located inside the Police Department.
The agreement provides annual adjustments to the per-meal price based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) effective July 1 of each contract year. On December 7, 2021, Council approved the first amendment to this agreement to include a 3.88-percent CPI increase. Due to the unprecedented and unforeseeable current economic circumstances, food industries have experienced substantial increases in supply costs. These conditions have driven the prices of food products well above the CPI cap of the current agreement.
Staff calculated the relevant food product weighted CPI at 13.16 percent, and worked with

the vendor to arrive at a reasonable and equitable final increase of 12.40 percent.
Therefore, staff recommends approving a per-meal price increase of 12.40 percent, from $2.59 to $2.92, for average daily populations above 400. This pricing will apply to meals billed after July 1, 2022 through the remainder of the third year of the agreement. This
12.40-percent per-meal increase will add $173,558 to the third year of the agreement.
The agreement established a not-to-exceed amount based on a projected average daily population of 400 persons. However, the Santa Ana Jail has regularly exceeded this number and served significantly more meals than was initially anticipated. Therefore, factoring funds currently remaining within the agreement's terms and a revised projection for average daily population through the remainder of Fiscal Year 2022-23, the Police Department projects that an additional $682,594 and a $40,000 contingency is needed to ensure the availability of funds to purchase inmate meals through June 30, 2023.
As a result, the total three-year agreement not-to-exceed amount will increase from $3,582,566 to $4,478,718. The agreement may be terminated without cause by either party upon 120 days’ written notice. Aramark has been accommodating, professional and consistent in its provision of services, and staff recommends approval of the agreement amendment.

Health and Safety Code Receiverships
California Health and Safety Code section 17980.7 allows a city to seek the appointment of a receiver over a substandard property that has been previously cited for violations that go unabated that pose health and safety risks.
Use of the Receivership process is one of the last code enforcement options used to mitigate substandard conditions of a property. Properties evaluated for the receivership process have nuisance conditions that are extensive and of such a nature, that the health and safety of the residents and the public are substantially endangered; and are maintained in violation of the SAMC and state Health and Safety codes. More importantly, the property owner/s have not complied and have ignored the City’s order to abate the substandard and dangerous conditions.
The powers granted to a receiver are broad. The receiver may: (1) take full and complete control of the property; (2) manage the property and pay expenses of the operation of the property; (3) secure a cost estimate and construction plan from a licensed contractor for the repairs necessary to correct the substandard conditions; (4) enter into contracts and employ a licensed contractor as necessary to correct substandard conditions; (5) borrow funds to pay for repairs necessary to correct substandard conditions; and (6) secure debt, with Court approval, with a recorded first lien on the property, first in priority to all other liens.
The use of the receivership option is a dramatic, immediate and comprehensive process that eliminates slum conditions or habitually substandard properties at no expense to the referring agency when it is the prevailing party. This process also communicates to the public that the City is actively protecting resident and tenants from dangerous conditions created by absentee and recalcitrant property owners.
Civil Nuisance Abatement Lawsuit
In order to protect its residents, the City may abate a public nuisance by filing a civil nuisance action for violations of the Santa Ana Municipal Code and/or conditions which are offensive or annoying to the senses, detrimental to property values and community appearance, or injurious to the health, safety or welfare of the general public in such ways as to be a nuisance, (California Code of Civil Procedure sections 731; California Civil Code sections 34 79 and 3480.). Civil Code section 3480 further explains, "A public nuisance is one which affects at the same time an entire community or neighborhood, or any considerable number of persons, although the extent of the annoyance or damage inflicted upon individuals may be unequal." Through the civil nuisance abatement procedure, the City may seek temporary and permanent injunctions to prevent the property from continuing to operate or exist as a public nuisance. If the City prevails, it may seek recovery of attorney's fees and costs.

Staff Report
December 20, 2022
TOPIC: Home Occupation Permit Fee Resolution
AGENDA TITLE:
Adopt a Resolution Approving a Reduced Home Occupation Permit Fee for Home-Based Businesses/Home Occupations Operating from Residential Premises within the City
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution approving a reduced Home Occupation Permit Fee for businesses operating from residential premises within the city, lowering the permit fee from $320.00 per permit to $50.32 per permit.
DISCUSSION
Section 41-192.3 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code requires that every business operating from residential premises within the City secure a Home Occupation Permit (“HOP”) and comply with all applicable provisions of the City’s Municipal Code relating to home-based businesses/home occupations. Since the original establishment of a HOP in 1982, home- based businesses and the gig economy have grown significantly, especially in recent years. Over the passage of time, the fee charged for a HOP has increased in tandem with the Certificate of Occupancy fee. Historically, the City of Santa Ana (when compared to neighboring municipalities in the County), has had considerably higher Certificate of Occupancy and Home Occupation Permit fees.
For FY 2022-23 and in time for the adoption of the Miscellaneous Fee Schedule, the Planning & Building Agency (“PBA”) with City Council approval, restructured the Certificate of Occupancy (“COO”) fee for new businesses operating from commercial premises within the City from a single charge per Certificate of Occupancy to a two-tier system. The Tier 1 cost of a Certificate of Occupancy for businesses occupying less than 5,000 square feet of commercial area is $134.24 per certificate issued (including planning and inspection), and the Tier 2 cost for all other commercial occupancies (including planning and inspection) remained at $499.36 per certificate.
The approved restructuring of the COO fee prompted Staff to evaluate the current work effort in the HOP process and look for opportunities to streamline and cost savings similar to the recent review of COO process. The City’s new cost to issue a Home Occupation Permit, based on a streamlined approach, is $50.32. These efforts to streamline the
City Council

process for applicants will bring the fee into better alignment with surrounding cities in Orange County.
In addition to restructuring business license tax rates, Measure W contains a Tax Holiday component for unlicensed, past-due, and under-assessed businesses. One of the aims of the Tax Holiday Program is to reach out to the underground economy that exists in the form of home-based businesses. Home-based businesses must apply for and receive an approved HOP before they apply for a Santa Ana Business License. Reducing the HOP fee for Santa Ana home-based businesses is in keeping with the spirit of Measure W, which is namely to make it easier and more affordable for small and home-based businesses to obtain a business license. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the new HOP fee rate of $50.32, a decrease of $269.68 from the current fee rate of $320.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City currently collects roughly $35,000 per year for Home Occupation Permits. At this time, it is difficult to anticipate the impact to revenue. Through the efforts of the tax holiday, staff expects more home-based businesses to begin complying with the City’s Ordinance.
Therefore, the overall impact of more home-based businesses paying less may be immaterial.

BE
IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows:
A. O

Contemporaneously, the City adopted a requirement for a Home Occupation Permit as may be set by resolution of the City Council, codified as SAMC Section 41-192.3.
B. O
n July 20, 1987, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-1922, which comprehensively revised SAMC Chapter 21 (Business License Tax Code) pertaining to business license taxation of all business conducted within the City, including home based occupations.
C. O
n February 4, 2013, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS -2841, modifying the Business License Tax Code, and in part specifically addressing home based business and home based occupations, allowing home based businesses/home occupations to elect alternative methods of business license tax assessment.
D. O
n November 8, 2022, the voters of the City of Santa Ana approved a Voter Ballot Measure (Measure W) restructuring business license tax rates for all businesses conducted within the City, including home based businesses / home based occupations.
E. O
n November 8, 2022, along with the passage of comprehensive business license tax rate restructuring under Measure W, a Tax Holiday was also adopted as part of Measure W. The primary purpose of the Tax Holiday is to afford unlicensed businesses doing business in the City to obtain a current business license without penalty and without regard to any prior arrearage. A substantial number of the unlicensed businesses subject to the Tax Holiday provision of Measure W are home based businesses / home occupations.
EXHIBIT 1

Resolution No. 2022-XXX
To legally operate, such home based business are required to obtain a Home Occupation Permit. The fee for the Home Occupation Permit, which was $25.00 in 1982, increased over the intervening years to $320.00. At the same time, the comparable Certificate of Occupancy fee (SAMC Section 8-95) applicable to commercially based businesses, which was $50.00 in 1982, increased over the intervening years to $499.36.
F. On June 7, 2022, the City Council approved the miscellaneous fee schedule for fiscal year 2022-23, where the Certificate of Occupancy inspection fee was reduced to $134.24 for business/mercantile occupancies less than 5,000 square feet in area.
G. An analogous reduction in the Home Occupation Permit fee, adjusted for (1) home business occupancies not to exceed 400 square feet and (2) not requiring physical inspection of the home residence, would equal $50.32.
Section 2. T he City Council hereby establishes the Home Occupation Permit fee at fifty dollars and thirty-two cents ($50.32), lowering it from three hundred twenty ($320.00) dollars. The $50.32 fee shall become effective January 1, 2023.
Section 3

TOPIC: Resolution for Proposition 1 Integrated Regional Water Management Grant Projects
AGENDA TITLE
Adopt a Resolution adopting the One Water One Watershed Plan Update 2018 and authorizing the submittal of grant applications for the New Washington Well Project and the Santa Ana Zoo Stormwater Capture and Diversion Project (Non-General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a Resolution adopting the One Water One Watershed Plan Update 2018, the Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) Plan for the Santa Ana River Watershed, and authorizing the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority to submit Proposition 1 IRWM grant applications on behalf of the City of Santa Ana for the New Washington Well Project and the Santa Ana Zoo Stormwater Capture and Diversion Project.
DISCUSSION
In November 2014, California voters passed Proposition 1, the Water Quality, Supply, and Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2014. Proposition 1 authorized $7.545 billion in general obligation bonds to fund, in part, water resource projects identified as regional priorities through local IRWM Plans. City staff submitted two successful applications for funding from Round 2 of the Proposition 1 IRWM funding program.
Washington Well Project
The majority of the City of Santa Ana’s potable water comes from the Orange County Groundwater Basin (OC Basin) and is pumped through 21 existing City wells. Due to a variety of issues, including the presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) found in routine well monitoring, several wells in the City have been taken offline. Given the limited water supplies in the region, and recent recurring drought conditions, removing wells from the City’s potable water distribution system will reduce its reliability.
Rehabilitating existing wells or constructing new wells will reduce the burden on other City water production facilities and the reliance on imported water sources.
The Water Resources Division is currently finalizing the design of the Washington Well Project, which will construct a new well that will address low-pressure deficiencies in the

2 distribution system, and will add approximately 4,000 acre-feet per year to the City’s pumping capacity. The current Proposition 1, Round 2 IRWM grant funding will provide up to $3,394,743 in grant funds for the construction of the well. The City has already received grant funding in the amount of $100,000 from the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority for the design of the project, and $750,000 from the United States Department of Interior Bureau of Reclamation for construction. The total estimated cost of the project is $7,387,555.
Santa Ana Zoo Stormwater Capture and Diversion Project
The Santa Ana Zoo Stormwater Capture and Diversion (SAZSCAD) Project features the construction of subsurface stormwater infiltration systems at the Santa Ana Zoo. The project is designed to capture and infiltrate approximately 67 acre-feet per year (AFY) of stormwater and dry-weather runoff to help improve water quality in the Newport Bay watershed, increase local water supplies, and reduce flooding downstream. The project will also include a new urban green space, bioswales, pervious pavement, seating, drought tolerant landscaping and shade trees, and interpretive signage promoting watershed and water quality education to Zoo visitors. The Public Works Agency has collaborated with Santa Ana Zoo staff on the project and Caltrans is contributing $1,250,000 as a project partner. The project has received letters of support from the Regional Water Board, Orange County Water District, and a local environmental non- profit organization.
The Project is currently in the preliminary design phase. The final design phase will start after award of the Grant Agreement and amendment to the City’s Capital Improvement Program. The total cost of the project is estimated to be $5,000,000.
Adoption of the resolution (Exhibit 1) will adopt the One Water One Watershed (OWOW) Plan Update 2018, which is required as a condition of all local project sponsors to receive grant funding.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Staff will return to Council with a request for approval of further actions, such as appropriation adjustments and CIP amendments, and will indicate the fiscal impact of any such actions and associated expenditures at that time. The New Washington Well Project does not require a local match. The SAZSCAD Project requires a local match of 50% for the overall project portfolio, which will be finalized during project design.
Sufficient funds will be budgeted for the required local match using a combination of state or local grants, and City funds.

TOPIC: Grant Applications for the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Measure M2 Comprehensive Transportation Program
AGENDA TITLE
Adopt Resolution Authorizing Grant Applications for the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Measure M2 Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program (Non-General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt Resolution Authorizing the City of Santa Ana to submit applications for funding consideration under the Measure M2 Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program 2023 Call for Projects.
2. Direct staff to incorporate approved Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program projects into the Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Year 2023-24.
DISCUSSION
The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) issued a call for projects under the Measure M2 Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program (CTFP) Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 (Exhibit 1). Approximately $45 million will be available for award on a countywide, competitive basis via the Regional Capacity Program (Project O) for Arterial Capacity Enhancements (ACE), Intersection Capacity Enhancements (ICE), and the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (Project P). The CTFP is the mechanism by which OCTA administers competitive funding for streets and roads projects.
The City will be submitting applications totaling $30,807,748 in grant funding requests, which requires a local match commitment of 25 percent for both ACE and ICE programs. If awarded, existing and future local funding sources, including but not limited to Transportation System Improvement Area funds (TSIA), Gas Tax funds, and Measure M2 Fairshare funds, will be used to provide the required matching funds for the recommended projects to be budgeted in FY 2023-24 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).

TOPIC: Adopt OCTA Funding Program Eligibility Requirements
AGENDA TITLE
Resolution to Adopt and Approve for Submission of the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Measure M2 Year-End Expenditure Report and Adopt the Measure M2 Seven Year CIP
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a Resolution approving the Measure M2 Annual Expenditure Report for Fiscal Year 2020-21, and authorize submission of the report to the Orange County Transportation Authority, as required by Measure M2 Funding Eligibility Guidelines.
2. Update the Measure M2 Seven Year CIP for Fiscal Years 2021-2022 through 2027- 2028.
DISCUSSION
In November 1990, Orange County voters approved Measure M, a 20-year one-half-cent sales tax to fund transportation projects in Orange County. Sixteen years later, in November 2006, the voters again approved the Renewal of Measure M, referred to as M2, for an additional thirty years. M2 became effective in April 2011, and the net revenues generated by M2 contribute to two types of grant funding: Local Fair Share (LFS) and Competitive. All Orange County cities are eligible for LFS funding which is distributed based on population, number of existing Master Plan of Arterial Highways centerline miles, and taxable sales. Under the competitive component of M2 funding, cities must compete and demonstrate support of regional transportation to successfully qualify for grant monies. Fulfilling M2 eligibility requirements also allows the City to qualify for other regional competitive OC Go M2 grant funding opportunities.
Each year local agencies are required to submit documentation to the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) that includes the End of Year Expenditure Report adopted via Resolution. The Expenditure Report is a detailed financial document submitted by each jurisdiction which is used to track and validate financial activity related to the Renewed Measure M2 and other improvement funds. The report accounts for receipt, interest earned, and use of Measure M2 and other funds while delineating the distribution of actual revenue and expenditures consistent with Maintenance of Effort requirements.

(Exhibit 1) is a required reporting element that must be submitted within six months of the jurisdiction’s fiscal year end.
Approval of the second Recommended Action will update the OCTA Measure M2 7-Year CIP Report (Exhibit 2) to include Measure M funded projects that were awarded during prior funding cycles, but have active project expenditures that are being carried forward for future audit compliance.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve both Recommended Actions to continue with the flow of M2 project funding, while maximizing grant compliance under the grant eligibility requirements presented.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with the action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the Recommended Action will maintain the City’s eligibility to receive Measure M2 funds annually. Upon renewal of Measure M2 eligibility, the City of Santa Ana is anticipated to receive an estimated $5.76 million in LFS funds and potentially over $30 million in M2 competitive grant funds for Fiscal Year 2022-23. In the past, the City has received an average exceeding $8 million dollars annually from M2 LFS revenue and competitive fund program allocations combined. If the Recommended Actions are not approved, the City will lose Measure M2 LFS revenue, along with the ability to apply for and receive future OCTA Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program competitive grant funds.

Staff Report

TOPIC: Vacate a Portion of Edendale Court
AGENDA TITLE
Adopt a Resolution of Intent to Vacate a Portion of Edendale Court behind 1222 and 1226 South Birch Street, Abandonment 22-01
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution which declares the City’s intent to vacate a portion of Edendale Court behind 1222 and 1226 South Birch Street, and which sets a public hearing for January 17, 2023.
DISCUSSION
Edendale Court was dedicated to the City of Santa Ana in 1924 on Tract Map No. 648 as a 30-foot by 210-foot long street easement. This easement is currently separated into three different states of improvement conditions. The westernmost section is 120 feet long and provides vehicular access to 1221 South Ross Street and 1225 South Ross Street. It is improved with pavement, curb, gutter, and sidewalk. The middle section is 45-feet long, unimproved, and fenced in with an accessible gate. The easternmost 45-foot section has been fenced in within the perimeter of the properties at 1222 South Birch Street and 1226 South Birch Street.
Based on historical aerial photos, the eastern 45-foot section of Edendale Court has not been improved as a roadway, and has been fenced in by the property owners at 1226 and 1222 South Birch Street for more than 50 years. Because of the long-term nature of the fenced-in eastern section of Edendale Court and the absence of the need to use the portion of the street for public access, the owner of 1226 South Birch Street has requested the City vacate the eastern 45-foot section of Edendale Court.
In addition to the vacation of the eastern 45-foot section of Edendale Court (Exhibit 1), the City has determined that the owner of 1226 South Birch Street must complete a Lot Line Adjustment involving Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 013-151-26, 38, 39 and 41 (Exhibit 2). This Lot Line Adjustment will need to be completed prior to the recordation of the street vacation resolution. A final resolution will include a condition that the vacation will not become effective until after the Lot Line Adjustment is recorded. This will prevent the temporary creation of additional landlocked parcels.

Resolution to Vacate Portion of Edendale Court
December 20, 2022

1 8
After both the Lot Line Adjustment and street vacation resolution have been completed, the Public Works Agency will begin the process of requesting funding for improvements of the middle section of Edendale Court with pavement, curb, gutter, and sidewalk. This improvement will provide physical access to parcel 013-151-41.
According to the title report obtained by the City, an easement over all of Edendale Court is owned by the City of Santa Ana. If the eastern 45-foot section of Edendale Court is vacated, it would revert half to the owner of 1226 South Birch Street and half to the owner of 1222 South Birch Street (Exhibit 3). The remaining sections of the Edendale Court easement will continue to be open as Public right-of-way.
Utilities, other government agencies, and City agencies have been advised of the vacation of this Edendale Court section.
California Government Code Section 65402 (Restrictions on Acquisition and Disposal of Real Property) requires a Planning Commission to review and approve certain actions related to City property. Actions related to acquiring, using, or disposing of public property require the Planning Commission to review the proposed use for conformity with the General Plan. Planning Commission Resolution No 2022-XX finds the vacation conforms to the General Plan (Exhibit 4).
The recommended action adopts a resolution (Exhibit 5) of the City Council’s intent to vacate the streets and sets a public hearing date for January 17, 2023, at which time the order to vacate may be approved by the City Council.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the recommended actions are exempt from further review. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. ER- 2022-112 will be filed for this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

TOPIC: Resolution of Intention to Disestablish the Downtown Santa Ana Business Improvement District
AGENDA TITLE:
Adopt Resolution of Intention to Disestablish the Downtown Santa Ana Business Improvement District
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution of intention to disestablish the Downtown Santa Ana Business Improvement District and establish a time and place for a public hearing to be held by the City Council on January 17, 2023.
DISCUSSION
On February 6, 1984, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-1715 pursuant to state law, creating a Business Improvement District (BID) in Downtown Santa Ana. The BID was established as a means of providing the Downtown business community with the funding to promote events and create promotional materials, increase the security presence, enhance maintenance of the downtown shopping corridors, and implement streetscape improvements. The BID is funded through an additional charge on the business license tax for those businesses within the BID boundary.
The City Council activated the current BID on July 1, 2013. To administer the activities of the BID, the City executed operating agreements with Downtown Inc. and the Santa Ana Business Council in an effort to address the needs of the two business associations. Each association received 50% of the BID assessment, approximately $100,000 per year.
On October 6, 2003, the City Council appointed the Community Redevelopment and Housing Commission (CRHC) as the Downtown Santa Ana Business Improvement District Advisory Board. As the BID Advisory Board, the CRHC, now known as the Community Development Commission (CDC), is responsible for making recommendations to the City Council on the expenditure of revenues derived from the levy of assessments, on the classification of businesses, as applicable, and on the method and basis of levying the assessments, including the annual budget.
At its regular meeting on October 26, 2022, by a vote of 6:0 (with one recusal), the Commission recommended to the City Council to dissolve the BID.

Over the course of the year, downtown businesses held several town hall meetings to express their dissent for the BID. Several protest forms were submitted to the Clerk of the Council and many merchants expressed their dissention for the BID and its operations at the Commission and Council meetings.
On November 15, 2022, the City Council voted to start the process to dissolve the Downtown Santa Ana Business Improvement District (BID). The next step in the BID disestablishment process is for City Council to adopt a resolution of intention to disestablish the BID and set a public hearing. The public hearing must be held no less than 20 and not more than 30 days after the date of adoption in accordance the Streets and Highways Code section 36530. Thereafter, City Council may adopt an ordinance after holding the public hearing on the disestablishment.
Notice of the disestablishment of the BID will be published once in a newspaper of general circulation in the city, no later than 15 days after the ordinance disestablishing the area is adopted. All businesses in the Business Improvement District will be notified and their BID assessment will be removed from their business license tax bill for 2023 and thereafter.
No known assets were acquired with the revenues of the assessments levied within the Downtown BID.
Any remaining revenues derived from the levy assessments shall be refunded to the owners of the method and basis that was used to calculate the assessments levied in the fiscal year in which the area is disestablished.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this action.

TOPIC: Assembly Bill 361
AGENDA TITLE:
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 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

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 December 6, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-094, 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

TOPIC: Urgency Ordinance to Amend various sections of Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Pertaining to Regulating Noxious Uses, Medical Offices Operated by Government, Government-Subsidized, Not-for-Profit, or Philanthropic Entities, Electric Fences, and Various Use Definitions AGENDA TITLE:
Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2022-07 – An Urgency Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Santa Ana Amending Various Sections of Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Related to Noxious Uses, Medical Offices Operated by Government, Government-Subsidized, Not-for-Profit, or Philanthropic Entities, Electric Fences, and Various Use Definitions
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2022-07 and adopt the Urgency Ordinance by two-thirds (2/3) vote to amend various sections of Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff is proposing to amend several sections of Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the SAMC to accomplish the following: address current and immediate threats to the public health, safety, or welfare due to the absence of regulations on noxious uses in close proximity to schools, parks, and residences; the absence of clear definitions defining and characterizing the various professional and administrative, and medical and non-medical land uses and a conditional use permit (CUP) requirement for medical offices operated by government, government-subsidized, not-for-profit, or philanthropic entities; standards for construction of electric fences; and various use definitions to effectively carry out regulations. The proposed amendments are described in further detail in the Discussion section of this report.
DISCUSSION
Pursuant to SB 1000, the City was required to address Environmental Justice in the General Plan Update. The General Plan includes numerous goals, policies, and implementation actions that were developed in collaboration with the community to address environmental issues that Santa Ana residents face on a daily basis. Staff is proposing to amend several sections of Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the SAMC to address current and immediate threats to the public health, safety, or welfare due to the absence of regulations on noxious uses in close proximity to schools, parks, and residences. In addition, the absence of clear definitions defining and characterizing the various professional and administrative, and medical and non-medical land uses and a conditional use permit requirement for medical

offices operated by government, government-subsidized, not-for-profit, or philanthropic entities in the Professional (P) zoning district hinder the City’s ability to meet the goals expressed in SAMC Section 41-1 (Purpose) to implement a regulatory land use and development framework to promote the health, safety, and the general welfare of the residents of Santa Ana. The proposed ordinance establishes a decision making process for the City to identify, evaluate, regulate, address, and reduce the potential impact to the built environment stemming from these land uses. The need is urgent as the City has and will continue to receive a higher rate of appeals of the City’s permitting process pertaining to these land uses within the P zoning district. Lastly, there have been near daily police and/or code enforcement-related incidents regarding transient populations trespassing on and causing damage to private, non-residential properties abutting railroad rights-of-way in Santa Ana. Options and development standards for the installation of electric fencing types on private property to deter this type of activity are needed. Table 1 below and on the following pages illustrates the existing and proposed regulations to address these immediate needs and issues affecting the community.
Table 1: ZOA No. 2022-07 Current and Proposed Text Regulations Topic Existing Zoning Code Regulations Proposed Zoning Code Regulations Noxious Uses The SAMC regulates industrial and
noxious land uses through permitting
them in industrial zoning districts.
However, the SAMC does not provide
additional regulation for uses that have
a regional, state, or federal permit to
emit or store or process hazardous
waste that are in close proximity to
sensitive land uses.
1. Create new “noxious uses” section to
require approval of a conditional use
permit for industrial type uses located
within 500 feet of a sensitive land use
that requires a permit to discharge air
contaminants or process or store
regulated chemicals or substances
(Sec. 41-199.4).
2. Update the Non-Conforming section
of the Zoning Code to require a
conditional use permit for noxious
uses whenever an existing non-
conforming business changes
ownership and requires a new
certificate of occupancy. Additionally,
require businesses with these type of
permits to remain in compliance with
applicable laws or lose their
nonconforming status (Sec. 41-683
and Sec. 41-683.6).
Medical Offices in
the Professional
Zoning District
The Professional (P) zoning district
permits medical and dental offices by
right. However, the zoning district does
not currently permit medical uses
operated by government, government-
subsidized, not-for-profit, or
philanthropic entities.
Revise the uses permitted subject to a
conditional use permit section of the
Professional (P) zoning district to require
a conditional use permit for medical
offices operated by government,
government-subsidized.
Counseling Services
- Definition
The SAMC does not currently define
counseling services.
Create “counseling services” definition in
Division 2 (Definitions), Article I of the
Zoning Code (Sec. 41-44.6).

Noxious Uses
In response to community concerns related to environmental pollution and the proximity of certain industrial uses in relation to homes, schools, and parks, the City adopted numerous environmental justice policies and actions in its General Plan to amend use regulations and development standards in the Zoning Code. A majority of the actions in the General Plan related to use, buffers, and development standards will be analyzed and addressed through the comprehensive Zoning Code Update. However, noxious businesses in close proximity to parks, schools, and residences is of immediate concern as they pose an immediate threat to the health and safety of those recreating, attending school, or residing in their proximity. Additionally, federal, state, and regional permitting agency requirements alone are insufficient to properly protect the health and safety of residents as has been proven through the numerous businesses that continue to be licensed in close proximity to sensitive receptors even when they violate applicable federal and state laws. Staff is proposing to create a new Section 41-199.4 (Noxious uses) to require a CUP for industrial uses that require a permit to handle, store, emit or discharge regulated compounds, materials, chemicals, or substances from a regional, Medical Office -
Definition
The SAMC does not currently define
medical office.
1. Create “medical office” definition in
Division 2 (Definitions), Article I of the
Zoning Code (Sec. 41-121).
2. Update the permitted uses sections
of the Professional (P), Community
Commercial (C1), Community
Commercial—Museum District (C1-
MD), Arterial Commercial (C5), and
South Main Street Commercial
District (C-SM) to consistently use
“medical office.”
Professional,
Business, and
Administrative Office
- Definition
The SAMC does not currently define
professional, business, and
administrative office.
1. Create “professional, business, and
administrative office” definition in
Division 2 (Definitions), Article I of the
Zoning Code (Sec.41-127.5)
2. Update the permitted uses sections
of the Professional (P), Community
Commercial (C1), Community
Commercial—Museum District (C1-
MD), Arterial Commercial (C5), and
South Main Street Commercial
District (C-SM) to consistently use
“professional, business, and
administrative office.”
Electric Fences The SAMC is currently silent on electric fences. The SAMC neither defines nor
regulates electric fences, which have
become more widely used as a means
to secure property from theft and/or
vandalism.
1. Create “electric fence” definition in
Division 2 (Definitions), Article I of the
Zoning Code (Sec. 41-54.5)
2. Add new section to regulate zones
and properties where electric fences
are permitted (only in M1 and M2,
and only where abutting a rail right-
of-way) subject to a minor exception
(Sec. 41-610.5).
