DISCUSSION
On January 21, 2014, the City of Santa Ana’s Information Technology Department implemented a wireless communications initiative to provide free public Wi-Fi and wireless internet services to 23 City facilities including Santa Ana City Hall, Santa Ana Public Libraries, parks, and various City facilities throughout Santa Ana. City employees utilize the wireless infrastructure to connect from within any City facility to perform their job duties and communicate with staff and citizens. After nearly 10 years of useful life, and significant technological improvements since that time, staff is recommending that the network equipment be upgraded.
City Council 24 – 1 11/21/2023
Wireless Communications Technology Upgrade
November 21, 2023
On November 11, 2022, the City entered into an agreement with Vector Resources, Inc. to perform a comprehensive passive wireless site survey, with signal analysis to achieve a detailed evaluation of the City’s existing wireless network. The City’s primary goal was to conduct a passive wireless site survey to gain an in-depth understanding of the City’s current wireless signal coverage and discover signal interference sources due to the increase in network-attached devices across the City over the past few years.
The wireless communications technology upgrade will give the City the ability to increase both the number of devices that can connect to the wireless network concurrently and the range for these devices to establish a connection. It will also help to decrease the “dead zones” or areas of poor signal strength. Since the wireless network equipment also provides guest access to citizens, businesses, contractors, and others at City facilities, this network upgrade will benefit those individuals as well. One of the projects in the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) spending plan included funding for Information Technology & Process improvements. Approximately 40% of the scope of this project qualifies as part of this project.
Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase against contracts from any public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. The NASPO ValuePoint contract with Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company for HPE’s Aruba High Touch Services (Contract No. AR3228) was awarded as a result of open, competitive bidding (#SK18001), and is in accordance with the City’s Purchasing Guidelines.
The wireless communications initiative directly supports the City’s goal of digital equality, economic development and will improve City processes, making it easier for citizens to navigate the labyrinth of official forms used to conduct City business.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding is available in the Information Technology Projects accounting unit 10920149 and 181200013 for FY 2023-24. The following table is an estimate of the account distribution by fiscal year.

5. Participants and Scope
a. Contractor may not deliver Products under this Master Agreement until a Participating Addendum acceptable to the Participating Entity and Contractor is executed. The NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement Terms and Conditions are applicable to any Order by a Participating Entity (and other Purchasing Entities covered by their Participating Addendum), except to the extent altered, modified, supplemented or amended by a Participating Addendum. By way of illustration and not limitation, this authority may apply to unique delivery and invoicing requirements, confidentiality requirements, defaults on Orders, governing law and venue relating to Orders by a Participating Entity, indemnification, and insurance requirements. Statutory or constitutional requirements relating to availability of funds may require specific language in some Participating Addenda in order to comply with applicable law. The expectation is that these alterations, modifications, supplements, or amendments will be addressed in the Participating Addendum or, with the consent of the Purchasing Entity and Contractor, may be included in the ordering document (e.g. purchase order or contract) used by the Purchasing Entity to place the Order.
b. Use of specific NASPO ValuePoint cooperative Master Agreements by state agencies, political subdivisions and other Participating Entities (including cooperatives) authorized by individual state’s statutes to use state contracts are subject to the approval of the respective State Chief Procurement Official. Issues of interpretation and eligibility for participation are solely within the authority of the respective State Chief Procurement Official.
c. Obligations under this Master Agreement are limited to those Participating Entities who have signed a Participating Addendum and Purchasing Entities within the scope of those Participating Addenda. States or other entities permitted to participate may use an informal competitive process to determine which Master Agreements to participate in through execution of a Participating Addendum. Financial obligations of Participating Entities who are states are limited to the orders placed by the departments or other state agencies and institutions having available funds. Participating Entities who are states incur no financial obligations on behalf of other Purchasing Entities. Contractor shall email a fully executed PDF copy of each Participating Addendum to [email protected] to support documentation of participation and posting in appropriate data bases.
d. NASPO Cooperative Purchasing Organization LLC, doing business as NASPO ValuePoint, is not a party to the Master Agreement. It is a nonprofit cooperative purchasing organization assisting states in administering the NASPO cooperative purchasing program for state government departments, institutions, agencies and political subdivisions (e.g., colleges, school districts, counties, cities, etc.) for all 50 states, the District of Columbia and the territories of the United States. e. Participating Addenda shall not be construed to amend the following provisions in this Master Agreement between the Lead State and Contractor that prescribe NASPO ValuePoint Program requirements: Term of the Master Agreement; Amendments; City Council 24 – 9 11/21/2023
Attachment A: Page 6 of 31
Participants and Scope; Administrative Fee; NASPO ValuePoint Summary and Detailed Usage Reports; NASPO ValuePoint Cooperative Program Marketing and Performance Review; NASPO ValuePoint eMarketCenter; Right to Publish; Price and Rate Guarantee Period; and Individual Customers. Any such language shall be void and of no effect.
f. Participating Entities who are not states may under some circumstances sign their own Participating Addendum, subject to the consent to participation by the Chief Procurement Official of the state where the Participating Entity is located. Coordinate requests for such participation through NASPO ValuePoint. Any permission to participate through execution of a Participating Addendum is not a determination that procurement authority exists in the Participating Entity; they must ensure that they have the requisite procurement authority to execute a Participating Addendum. g. Resale. “Resale” means any payment in exchange for transfer of tangible goods, software, or assignment of the right to services. Subject to any specific conditions included in the solicitation or Contractor’s proposal as accepted by the Lead State, or as explicitly permitted in a Participating Addendum, Purchasing Entities may not resell Products (the definition of which includes services that are deliverables). Absent any such condition or explicit permission, this limitation does not prohibit: payments by employees of a Purchasing Entity for Products; sales of Products to the general public as surplus property; and fees associated with inventory transactions with other governmental or nonprofit entities and consistent with a Purchasing Entity’s laws and regulations. Any sale or transfer permitted by this subsection must be consistent with license rights granted for use of intellectual property.
6. Administrative Fees
a. The Contractor shall pay to NASPO ValuePoint, or its assignee, a NASPO ValuePoint Administrative Fee of one-quarter of one percent (0.25% or 0.0025) no later than sixty (60) days following the end of each calendar quarter. The NASPO ValuePoint Administrative Fee shall be submitted quarterly and is based on all sales of products and services under the Master Agreement (less any charges for taxes or shipping). The NASPO ValuePoint Administrative Fee is not negotiable. This fee is to be included as part of the pricing submitted with proposal.
b. Additionally, some states may require an additional fee be paid directly to the state only on purchases made by Purchasing Entities within that state. For all such requests, the fee level, payment method and schedule for such reports and payments will be incorporated into the Participating Addendum that is made a part of the Master Agreement. The Contractor may adjust the Master Agreement pricing accordingly for purchases made by Purchasing Entities within the jurisdiction of the state. All such agreements shall not affect the NASPO ValuePoint Administrative Fee percentage or the prices paid by the Purchasing Entities outside the jurisdiction of the state requesting the additional fee. The NASPO ValuePoint Administrative Fee in subsection 6a shall be based on the gross amount of all sales (less any charges for taxes or shipping) at the adjusted prices (if any) in Participating Addenda.

10. Right to Publish
Throughout the duration of this Master Agreement, Contractor must secure from the Lead State prior approval for the release of information that pertains to the potential work or activities covered by the Master Agreement. This limitation does not preclude publication about the award of the Master Agreement or marketing activities consistent with any proposed and accepted marketing plan. The Contractor shall not make any representations of NASPO ValuePoint’s opinion or position as to the quality or effectiveness of the services that are the subject of this Master Agreement without prior written consent.

Administration of Orders
13. Ordering
a. Master Agreement order and purchase order numbers shall be clearly shown on all acknowledgments, shipping labels, packing slips, invoices, and on all correspondence. b.

This procedure may be modified in Participating Addenda and adapted to the Purchasing Entity’s rules and policies. The Purchasing Entity may in its sole discretion determine which Master Agreement Contractors should be solicited for a quote. The Purchasing Entity may select the quote that it considers most advantageous, cost and other factors considered. c. Each Purchasing Entity will identify and utilize its own appropriate purchasing procedure and documentation. Contractor is expected to become familiar with the City Council 24 – 14 11/21/2023

Maintenance agreements may have terms as prescribed in section 27. Contractor is reminded that financial obligations of Purchasing Entities payable after the current applicable fiscal year are contingent upon agency funds for that purpose being appropriated, budgeted, and otherwise made available.
i. Notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Master Agreement, Contractor agrees to perform in accordance with the terms of any Orders then outstanding at the time of such expiration or termination. Contractor shall not honor any Orders placed after the expiration or termination of this Master Agreement, or otherwise inconsistent with its terms. Orders from any separate indefinite quantity, task orders, or other form of indefinite delivery order arrangement priced against this Master Agreement may not be placed after the expiration or termination of this Master Agreement, notwithstanding the term of any such indefinite delivery order agreement.
14. Shipping and Delivery
a. The prices are the delivered price to any Purchasing Entity. All deliveries shall be F.O.B. destination, freight pre-paid, with all transportation and handling charges paid by City Council 24 – 15 11/21/2023
Attachment A: Page 12 of 31
the Contractor. Responsibility and liability for loss or damage shall remain the Contractor’s until final inspection and acceptance when responsibility shall pass to the Purchasing Entity except as to latent defects, fraud and Contractor’s warranty obligations. The minimum shipment amount, if any, will be found in the special terms and conditions. Any order for less than the specified amount is to be shipped with the freight prepaid and added as a separate item on the invoice. Any portion of an Order to be shipped without transportation charges that is back ordered shall be shipped without charge.
b. All deliveries will be delivery to Order “ship to location” which may be a loading dock, front lobby, or reception area, unless otherwise agreed specific delivery instructions are noted on the order form or Purchase Order. In the event insider delivery is agreed upon in the Order, any damage to the building interior, scratched walls, damage to the freight elevator, etc., directly cause by Contractor will be the responsibility of the Contractor. If such damage does occur, it is the responsibility of the Contractor to immediately notify the Purchasing Entity placing the Order.
c. All products must be delivered in the manufacturer’s standard package. Costs shall include all packing and/or crating charges. Cases shall be of durable construction, good condition, properly labeled and suitable in every respect for storage and handling of contents.

15. Laws and Regulations
Any and all Products offered and furnished shall comply fully with all applicable Federal and State laws and regulations.
Participating Entity is responsible for complying with applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to, obtaining any required export or import authorizations if Purchasing Entity exports, imports or otherwise transfers products or deliverables provided under this Master Agreement.
16. Inspection and Acceptance
a. Where the Master Agreement or an Order does not otherwise specify a process for inspection and Acceptance, this section governs. This section is not intended to limit rights and remedies under the applicable commercial code. b. Acceptance of Products occurs upon delivery, and applies to all Product(s) (hardware and software) purchased under this Master Agreement, including any additional, replacement or substitute Product(s) and any Product(s) which are modified by or with the written approval of Contractor after Acceptance by the Participating Entity. c. All Products are subject to inspection at reasonable times and places before Acceptance. Contractor shall provide right of access to the Lead State, or to any other City Council 24 – 16 11/21/2023
Attachment A: Page 13 of 31
authorized agent or official of the Lead State or other Participating or Purchasing Entity, at reasonable times, in order to monitor and evaluate performance, compliance, and/or quality assurance requirements under this Master Agreement. Products that do not meet specifications may be rejected. Failure to reject upon receipt, however, does not relieve the contractor of liability for material (nonconformity that substantial impairs value) latent or hidden defects subsequently revealed when goods are put to use, with repair or replacement subject to manufacturer’s warranty. Return of Product is subject to the HPE State and Local Government and Education Customer Return Policy. d. If any services do not conform to contract requirements, the Purchasing Entity may require the Contractor to perform the services again in conformity with contract requirements, at no increase in Order amount. When defects cannot be corrected by re-performance, the Purchasing Entity may require the Contractor to take necessary action to ensure that future performance conforms to contract requirements; and reduce the contract price to reflect the reduced value of services performed. e. The warranty period shall begin upon Acceptance.
17. Payment
Payment after Acceptance is normally made within 30 days following the date the order is delivered or the date a correct invoice is received, whichever is later. After 45 days the Contractor may assess overdue account charges up to a maximum rate of one percent per month on the outstanding balance, unless a different late payment amount is specified in a Participating Addendum, Order, or otherwise prescribed by applicable law. Payments will be remitted by mail or electronically. Payments may be made via a State or political subdivision “Purchasing Card” with no additional charge.
Prices are exclusive of taxes, duties, and fees, unless otherwise quoted. If a withholding tax is required by law, the tax will be added and identified on the applicable invoice.
18. Warranty
Warranty provisions govern where specified elsewhere in the documents that constitute the Master Agreement; otherwise this section governs. The Contractor warrants for a period of one year from the date of Acceptance that: (a) the Product performs according to all specific claims that the Contractor made in its response to the solicitation, (b) the Product is suitable for the ordinary purposes for which such Product is used, (c) the Product is suitable for any special purposes identified in the solicitation or for which the Purchasing Entity has relied on the Contractor’s skill or judgment, (d) the Product is designed and manufactured in a commercially reasonable manner, and (e) the Product is free of significant defects in material and workmanship. Upon breach of the warranty, the Contractor will repair or replace (at no charge to the Purchasing Entity) the Product whose nonconformance is discovered and made known to the Contractor. If the repaired and/or replaced Product proves to be inadequate, or fails of its essential City Council 24 – 17 11/21/2023
Attachment A: Page 14 of 31
purpose, the Contractor will refund the full amount of any payments that have been made.

Product performance. All HPE-branded hardware products are covered by HPE’s limited warranty statements that are provided with the Products or otherwise made available. Hardware warranties begin on the date of delivery or if applicable, upon completion of HPE installation, or (where Customer delays HPE installation) at the latest 30 days from the date of delivery. Non-HPE branded products receive warranty coverage as provided by the relevant third party supplier.
Software performance. HPE warrants that its branded software products will conform materially to their specifications and be free of malware at the time of delivery.

Services performance. Services are performed using generally recognized commercial practices and standards. Customer agrees to provide prompt notice of any such service concerns and HPE will re-perform any service that fails to meet this standard.
Services with Deliverables. If Supporting Material for services define specific deliverables, HPE warrants those deliverables will conform materially to their written specifications for 30 days following delivery. If Customer notifies HPE of such a nonconformity during the 30 day period, HPE will promptly remedy the impacted deliverables or refund to Customer the fees paid for those deliverables and Customer will return those deliverables to HPE.
Product Warranty Claims. When Contractor receives a valid warranty claim for an HPE hardware or software product, HPE will either repair the relevant defect or replace the product. If HPE is unable to complete the repair or replace the product within a reasonable time, Customer will be entitled to a full refund upon the prompt return of the product to HPE (if hardware) or upon written confirmation by Customer that the relevant software product has been destroyed or permanently disabled. HPE will pay for shipment of repaired or replaced products to Customer and Customer will be responsible for return shipment of the product to HPE.
Eligibility. HPE’s service, support and warranty commitments do not cover claims resulting from:

A subsequent transfer of this software license shall be at no additional cost or charge to either Purchasing Entity or Purchasing Entity’s transferee, unless otherwise specified by Contractor.
20. License of Pre-Existing Intellectual Property

No transfer of ownership of any intellectual property will occur under this Master Agreement.
Purchasing Entity grants Contractor a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right and license to any intellectual property that is necessary for Contractor and its designees to perform the ordered Services.

25. Data Privacy: The Contractor must comply with all applicable laws related to data privacy and security, including IRS Pub 1075, as identified in the Order. Prior to entering into a SLA with a Purchasing Entity, the Contractor and Purchasing Entity must cooperate and hold a meeting to determine the Data Categorization to determine what data the Contractor will hold, store, or process and determine whether the security provided meets the Purchasing Entity’s legal obligations. The Contractor must document the Data Categorization in the SLA or Statement of Work or Order.
Contractor is not responsible for viruses or malware introduced by Purchasing Entity or an end user. Purchasing Entity may not use the Services in ways that would impose additional regulatory or other legal obligations on Contractor unless the parties have expressly agreed to do so in writing.

eMarket Center Appendix
a. This Appendix applies whenever a catalog hosted by or integration of a punchout site with eMarket Center is required by the solicitation or either solution is proposed by a Contractor and accepted by the Lead State.
b. Supplier’s Interface with the eMarket Center. There is no cost charged by JAGGAER to the Contractor for loading a hosted catalog or integrating a punchout site. c. At a minimum, the Contractor agrees to the following:
(1) Implementation Timeline: NASPO ValuePoint eMarket Center Site Admin shall provide a written request to the Contractor to begin enablement process. The Contractor shall have fifteen (15) days from receipt of written request to work with NASPO ValuePoint and JAGGAER to set up an enablement schedule, at which time JAGGAER’s technical documentation shall be provided to the Contractor. The schedule will include future calls and milestone dates related to test and go live dates. The contractor shall have a total of Ninety (90) days to deliver either a (1) hosted catalog or (2) punch-out catalog, from date of receipt of written request. (2) NASPO ValuePoint and JAGGAER will work with the Contractor, to decide which of the catalog structures (either hosted or punch-out as further described below) shall be provided by the Contractor. Whether hosted or punch-out, the catalog must be strictly limited to the Contractor’s awarded contract offering (e.g. products and/or services not authorized through the resulting cooperative contract should not be viewable by NASPO ValuePoint Participating Entity users). (a) Hosted Catalog. By providing a hosted catalog, the Contractor is providing a list of its awarded products/services and pricing in an electronic data file in a format acceptable to JAGGAER, such as Tab Delimited Text files. In this scenario, the Contractor must submit updated electronic data no more than once per 30 days to the eMarket Center for the Lead State’s approval to maintain the most up-to-date version of its product/service offering under the cooperative contract in the eMarket Center.
(b) Punch-Out Catalog. By providing a punch-out catalog, the Contractor is providing its own online catalog, which must be capable of being integrated with the eMarket Center as a. Standard punch-in via Commerce eXtensible Markup Language (cXML). In this scenario, the Contractor shall validate that its online catalog is up-to-date by providing a written update no more than once per 30 days to the Lead State stating they have audited the offered products/services and pricing listed on its online catalog. The site must also return detailed UNSPSC codes (as outlined in line 3) for each line item. Contractor also agrees to provide e-Quote functionality to facilitate volume discounts. d. Revising Pricing and Product Offerings: Any revisions to product/service offerings (new products, altered SKUs, new pricing etc.) must be pre-approved by the Lead State and shall be subject to any other applicable restrictions with respect to the frequency or City Council 24 – 33 11/21/2023
Attachment A: Page 30 of 31
amount of such revisions. However, no cooperative contract enabled in the eMarket Center may include price changes on a more frequent basis than once per year (see required Price Guarantee Period section 11). The following conditions apply with respect to hosted catalogs:
(1) Updated pricing files are required each calendar month of the month and shall go into effect in the eMarket Center on as approved by the Lead State contract administrator.
(2) Lead State-approved price changes are not effective until implemented within the eMarket Center. Errors in the Contractor’s submitted pricing files will delay the implementation of the price changes in eMarket Center. e. Supplier Network Requirements: Contractor shall join the JAGGAER Supplier Network (SQSN) and shall use JAGGAER’s Supplier Portal to import the Contractor’s catalog and pricing, into the JAGGAER system, and view reports on catalog spend and product/pricing freshness. The Contractor can receive orders through electronic delivery (cXML) or through low-tech options such as fax. More information about the SQSN can be found at: www.sciquest.com or call the JAGGAER Supplier Network Services team at 800-233-1121.
f. Minimum Requirements: Whether the Contractor is providing a hosted catalog or a punch-out catalog, the Contractor agrees to meet the following requirements:
(1) Catalog must contain the most current pricing, including all applicable administrative fees and/or discounts, as well as the most up-to-date product/service offering the Contractor is authorized to provide in accordance with the cooperative contract; and
(2) The accuracy of the catalog must be maintained by Contractor throughout the duration of the cooperative contract; and
(3) The Catalog must include a Lead State contract identification number; and (4) The Catalog must include detailed product line item descriptions; and (5) The Catalog must include pictures when possible; and (6) The Catalog must include any additional NASPO ValuePoint and Participating Addendum requirements. Although suppliers in the SQSN normally submit one (1) catalog, it is possible to have multiple contracts applicable to different NASPO ValuePoint Participating Entities. For example, a supplier may have different pricing for state government agencies and Board of Regents institutions. Suppliers have the ability and responsibility to submit separate contract pricing for the same catalog if applicable.
The system will deliver the appropriate contract pricing to the user viewing the catalog.

Partner Services
HPE will only put services SKUs on the
contract that HPE or authorized
resellers are able to deliver. In most
cases, the partner / reseller will take
the order and then decide to allow
HPE to deliver the service or deliver
the service themselves. HPE has a
process that allows our resellers to
become authorized providers of HPE
services. In these cases, the partner
still uses the HPE services SKUs that
we have listed.
Note 1. HPE does not typically bill for maintenance services on a Time & Materials basis; rather our customers sign up for maintenance services. Therefore we do not publish hourly rates for maintenance. HPE has provided SKU numbers in the Solicitation SK18001 HPE - Detailed Product Offering Worksheet.
Note 2. HPE has provided two SKUs for Professional Services in the Solicitation SK18001 HPE - Detailed Product Offering Worksheet. If our customers would like to engage HPE for customized services, we will respond with a Statement of Work specific to the request. Every Statement of Work and its required levels of service (skill set required to deliver) is unique. For this reason, we have included a blended rate for 8 hours of remotely delivered services and 40 hours of onsite service which are used quite frequently. HPE does not publish hourly rates; we provide quotes based on customer needs.
Note 3. HPE has provided SKU numbers in the Solicitation SK18001 HPE - Detailed Product Offering Worksheet. HPE does not charge for training by the hour.
Note 4. Partners’ rates vary by geography, and like HPE, by level of service required. Partners may sell HPE SKUs for 8 hour and 40 hours of work at the blended rate and pass this to HPE or deliver it themselves. As such, it is difficult to publish a rate card for our partners, especially since we have such an extensive network of partners around the country.

RETURN OF PRODUCTS
Defective Product:
For product that is defective on arrival, it is recommended that customers call Technical Support at 1-844-806-3425 to determine if the product can be corrected. Or, the customer may utilize the 30 day goodwill return policy. Also the customer may contact the HPE North America Customer Care Team via email: VALOM-US[email protected], to report product that was defective on arrival and obtain warranty service for HPE Product, or obtain contact information for warranty services provided by other manufacturers.
Carrier Related Loss or Damaged Shipments:
Customers should note damages or shortages on the Bill Of Lading at the time of delivery. Within a reasonable time or not later than 30 days from delivery, notify the HPE Customer Care Team and provide a copy of the Bill of Lading/Packing Slip.
Concealed damage(s) or shortage(s), where the box is in good condition but product is missing or damaged, is an exception and should be reported as soon as practicable after delivery in order for HPE to establish the claim with the carrier.
HPE is committed to customer satisfaction and values our relationship with State and Local Government and Education Customer. To show our commitment, HPE is providing a goodwill right to return, or exchange unused products within 30 days from receipt of the product.

Procedures for Returns:
The State or Local Government and Education Customer should contact the assigned Customer Service Representative (CSR) via email: [email protected], to coordinate returns or replacements within 30 days from delivery of product. At that time a case number will be assigned to the request while HPE validates it and proceeds (24 -48 hours). Once a Return Material Authorization is approved, the Care Agent will submit an e-claim and an RMA number is assigned to it. This e-claim triggers a return label with HPE selected carrier (usually CEVA) and CEVA sends out a questionnaire to the customer that needs to be responded no later than 7 calendar days. Once the carrier receives the questionnaire, pick up should be scheduled for the returning material no later than 30 calendar days from the date of the request. The Customer Care Team Representative will assist the Customer on any other details or specifics regarding returns, credits and refunds.

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
The City of Santa Ana is a diverse and dynamic city. It is the County Seat and metropolitan hub within Orange County, drawing hundreds of persons in the city on a daily basis. With landmarks like Bower's Museum, Orange County School of the Arts (OCSA), California State University, Fullerton (CSUF) Grant Central Art Center, it is a popular destination for art aficionados and students. The Downtown Santa Ana Historic District has become a popular destination on weekend nights. New restaurants and bars continue to open their doors to welcome patrons. This influx of patrons has greatly increased the number of drivers in the downtown area during evening hours, many of whom have been consuming alcoholic beverages.
The City of Santa Ana is home to an estimated 322,725 residents. Within the City of Santa Ana, there are approximately 477 miles of local, arterial, and collector roadways. The City employs approximately 354 sworn Police Officers, fielded in either Patrol, Investigations, or Traffic assignments.
The Santa Ana Police Department has 21 sworn Police Officers assigned to the Traffic Division. These numbers include (1) Commander, (2) Sergeants, (3) Corporals, and (15) Police Officers, (3) sworn Police Officers as Crash Investigators and are fielded for the purpose of OTS traffic enforcement as needed and to conduct other special duties. There are (18) Motor Officers assigned to the Traffic Division who are tasked with daily traffic enforcement and crash investigations.
In 2020 there were 23 fatal traffic crashes. In 2021 there were 23 fatal traffic crashes respectively. In 2022 there were 18 fatal traffic crashes. Many of these fatal traffic crashes have been the result of alcohol and/or drug-related vehicle crashes and pedestrian crashes. Injury crashes have increased from 1170 in 2020 to 1350 in 2021, a trend the department hopes ceases with continued funding for enforcement efforts. Nearly one-half of all injury traffic crashes were caused by three primary factors (PCF's); unsafe speed, automobile right-of-way violations, and traffic signals & signs violations.
Our city has committed itself to traffic safety. In the most recently published five-year strategic plan, trafficsafety was outlined to be a top priority, specifically as it relates to education and enforcement. In response, the Traffic Division has dedicated itself to participating in education programs, targeting all children and adults alike. The Traffic Division has hired personnel to focus on these efforts specifically.
Through our work in education, both grant-funded and internally funded measures, we hope to prevent the tragic consequences of unsafe drivers, pedestrians, and impaired drivers. The educational efforts, in conjunction with ardent enforcement activities, will have a positive effect on our community and make the City of Santa Ana safer for everyone.
As part of other traffic safety measures, the City of Santa Ana will focus efforts on bicycle safety intended to reduce the number of bicyclists injured or killed in traffic crashes. Bicycle safety measures taken by providing bicycle helmets and informational events for the community will reduce bike crashes and other bicycle related injuries. During 2022, we had 4 bicyclists involved in a fatal traffic crash and had a total of 116 bicyclists injured in traffic crashes. In FY2024, we hope to reduce bicycle safety threats in the city and to accomplish this we aim to do the following:
Issue and properly fit helmets, distribute reflective arms bands as available and lights to reduce the number of bicyclists riding in our community without properly fit equipment while increasing their visibility among drivers.
The ways we distribute the equipment may include:
At bicycle safety events generally held at Teen Centers, schools, city parks, apartment complexes, mobile home parks, PD/substation, or Community Centers.
At the Santa Ana Police Department booth at City-wide special events (e.g., National Night Out). All of our major events have free bike parking. This is another area where staff will connect with folks who may arrive without the proper safety equipment.
In cooperation with our School Resource Officers and/or Probation Officer through individual contacts as a result of another incident.
City Council 25 – 6 11/21/2023
9/27/2023 9:22:31 AM Page 5 of 21
Education and outreach efforts have been made at apartment complexes, mobile home parks, Santa Ana Unified School District Schools and Charter Schools. In addition, we coordinate and partner with agencies to provide events such as Bike to School, Walk to School, National Night Out, and various City and Police events. During these events we provide bike lights and /or mobile reflective safety devices and bicycle helmet safety literature and distribute helmets.
Bicycle safety efforts have yielded the following so far, and we plan to continue these efforts:
Schools Attended: 63 / Community Contacts: 11,142
City-Wide Events: 59 / Community Contacts: 18,039
Bike Rodeos: 4
Helmets Distributed: 244
Wristbands Distributed: 700
Bike Lights Distributed: 700

DISCUSSION
The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program provides federal criminal justice funding to state and local jurisdictions, and it is administered by the U.S.
Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). Since 2005 BJA has funded over 24,000 JAG awards totaling over $7.6 billion. JAG awards are based on a statutory formula that equally weighs the City's share of violent crime and population according to statistics from the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). BJA requires the County to function as the applicant/fiscal agent to apply for, receive, and administer the funds on behalf of all cities.
The Santa Ana Police Department recently applied for and has been awarded a grant in the amount of $110,336 for the FY 2023 JAG program. The County accepted the 2023 JAG award on October 17, 2023, covering the performance period of October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2026. The Police Department will use JAG funding to support City Council 26 – 1 11/21/2023
