TOPIC: Destruction of Obsolete City Records
AGENDA TITLE
Approve Destruction of Obsolete City Records
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the request for the destruction of obsolete records from the Police Department, Jail Bureau and the Library in accordance with the retention schedule outlined in City Council Resolution 2013-014.
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No
DISCUSSION
On April 1, 2013, the City Council approved Resolution 2013-014. The resolution provides agencies, departments, and offices guidance on the retention of City records including how long the records need to be retained.
Pursuant to the resolution, City staff prepared a Citywide Records Retention Schedule which sets forth the retention period for a particular record. The schedule reflects the requirements of the California Government Code and is modeled after the California Secretary of State's sample for local governments, while incorporating other statutory periods applicable to the City.
The schedule attached to the resolution is broken down into multiple sections covering the varied responsibilities and minimum retention periods applicable to each.
Section 5.B of the resolution and the City's Municipal Code requires that the City Attorney approve the destruction of a City record. Accordingly, the Police Department and the Library have prepared a list of obsolete records proposed for destruction in the form of a memorandum (Exhibits 1 and 2). The memoranda were reviewed and approved by the City Attorney’s Office. Destruction of these records will benefit staff offices, providing more efficient access to files and alleviate the City's storage needs to maintain obsolete records.

TOPIC: Moving Services for Main and Newhope Libraries
AGENDA TITLE
Amendment to Agreement with Inland Moving & Storage Co., Inc. dba Burgess Moving & Storage for the Main Library and Newhope Library Projects (General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to an agreement with Inland Moving & Storage, Co., Inc. dba Burgess Moving & Storage for additional moving and storage services for Main and Newhope Libraries, increasing compensation by $121,389, for a total amount not to exceed $345,313, and extending the term to December 31, 2026, with a provision for a one-year extension (Agreement No. A-2024- XXX)
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes
DISCUSSION
On July 18, 2023, the City Council approved an agreement with Inland Moving & Storage Co., Inc. dba Burgess Moving & Storage (“Burgess”) for moving and storage services for the Main Library and Newhope Library capital projects. Burgess will manage the moves both out and back into the libraries, including relocating Library collections, select furniture, and providing temporary off-site storage and all packing materials.
The Library requested additional services from Burgess to disassemble and dispose of antiquated book shelving, and surplus outdated furniture still in usable condition, but slated to be replaced with the project. Disposal and surplus work will need to be performed prior to construction commencing. Allowing Burgess to perform this work while they are already on-site for moving services will increase efficiency and provide cost savings since the general contractor will not have to perform as many tasks related to the demolition and removal of broken and unusable shelving and furniture. In conjunction with Purchasing, the Library provided an opportunity for the public to purchase surplus furniture items in usable condition via GovDeals.com.
Also, additional funds are needed for storage services for the Main Library. Since City Council 8 – 1 7/16/2024
Moving Services for Main and Newhope Libraries
July 16, 2024
approval of Burgess’ agreement, the construction schedule has been revised to reflect more accurate timeframes, which required the storage duration be extended.
Construction of the Main Library Transformation Project is anticipated to be completed in spring 2026.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are budgeted and currently available in the following accounts for the specified year. A proposed carryover of unspent funds to future fiscal years will be presented to the City Council for approval.

To Whom It May Concern: April 14, 2020
My name is Khylia Chapin and I am the Senior Library Project Manager for the Riverside County Library System. The Riverside County Library System is a network of 36 public libraries that provide service to over 2.4 million people across the County. Each year, we average close to four major library renovation projects that consists of careful removal and returning of library shelving, furniture, collection, equipment, and program materials. Over the past five years that I have been in my position, I have had the pleasure of working with Burgess Moving & Storage on several renovation projects to remove, store, return and/or surplus our library items. Some of the projects are listed below:
2017: Norco Library – Relocation
2018: Nuview Library – Demolition and Rebuild
2018: Sun City Library – Renovation
2019: Woodcrest Library – Renovation
I am favored to work with Burgess Moving & Storage because of their flexibility, exceptional attention to detail, excellent communication and customer service, and careful effort they put into each and every project. I am pleased to recommend Burgess Moving & Storage and look forward to working with them on many future library projects.
Sincerely,
Khylia Chapin

Staff Report
July 16, 2024
TOPIC: Delhi and Newhope Libraries Laptop Kiosks
AGENDA TITLE
Amendments to an Agreement with Java Connections, LLC dba LaptopsAnytime for the Purchase and Installation of a New Laptop Dispenser Kiosk at the Future Delhi Library Branch, along with Hardware Support and Software Licensing for the Delhi Kiosk and Existing Newhope Library Kiosk (General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute two amendments to an agreement with Java Connections, LLC, dba LaptopsAnytime for the purchase and installation of a laptop dispenser kiosk at the future Delhi Branch Library, hardware support, and software licensing through September 30, 2026 for the Delhi and Newhope kiosks, increasing compensation by $48,924.39, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $76,548.25 (Agreement No. A-2024-XXX and A-2024-XXX)
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes
DISCUSSION
On December 1, 2020, the City Council approved the purchase of two six-bay laptop dispenser kiosks for the Main Library and Newhope Branch Library. On May 30, 2023, the City Council approved an agreement to upgrade the existing six-bay kiosk at the Main Library to a 12-bay kiosk due to public demand.
The Library now needs to amend the agreement to purchase a 12-bay laptop dispenser kiosk for the new Delhi Branch Library, which is expected to be complete in early 2025.
Additionally, the amendment will include kiosk hardware support and software licensing for the Delhi kiosk and the existing Newhope Library kiosk through September 30, 2026.
Having laptops available will provide Santa Ana youth and their families more opportunities to access the Internet on an electronic device inside the Library. With the self-service kiosks, library patrons are able to borrow laptops for in-house use to work on homework assignments, access the Library’s electronic resources, conduct research over the Internet, or use other software such as Microsoft Office.
City Council 9 – 1 7/16/2024
Delhi and Newhope Library Kiosks
July 16, 2024
Upon checkout, the kiosks are able to authenticate patrons’ library accounts through the Library’s integrated library system (ILS) as well as take a photo of the patron using a built-in webcam for security purposes. Once a patron returns the laptop to the kiosk, the system automatically checks in the device, wipes any modifications or information saved by the patron using a software called Deep Freeze, and charges the device so it can be ready for the next checkout.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the current Fiscal Year 2024-2025 as shown below. Any remaining balances not expended at the end of the fiscal year will be presented to City Council for approval of carryovers to FY 2025-26.

TOPIC: Regional Assessment of Fair Housing and Memorandum of Understanding with Surrounding Jurisdictions
AGENDA TITLE
Agreement with MDG Associates, Inc. for the Preparation of the Fiscal Year 2025-29 Regional Assessment of Fair Housing and Memorandum of Understanding with Surrounding Jurisdictions
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute an Agreement with MDG Associates, Inc. to prepare the Fiscal Year 2025-29 Regional Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH), whereby the City will act as the lead for the Regional AFH, in an amount not to exceed $159,882 for a one-year term beginning August 1, 2024 and expiring July 30, 2025 (Agreement No. A-2024-XXX).
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding and Payment Agreement with all of the surrounding jurisdictions in Orange County to jointly engage MDG Associates, Inc. to provide a Regional AFH, and authorize the City Attorney to reasonably revise or amend the Memorandum of Understanding as needed in order to collect payment, substantially in the form attached hereto, with all of the surrounding jurisdictions participating in the Regional AFH (Agreement No. A2024-XXX).
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes
DISCUSSION
The Fair Housing Act of 1968 requires jurisdictions that receive federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Community Development Block Grant, Emergency Solutions Grant, and/or the HOME Investment Partnerships program to prepare an Assessment of Fair Housing to address the impediments to fair housing choice that are within their ability to control or influence. In Orange County, all federal grantees of these sources of funding from HUD, including the City of Santa Ana (City), have decided on a collaborative, regional approach to complete a Regional Assessment of Fair Housing. This assessment will determine current impediments to fair housing choice in the private and affordable housing sectors and identify appropriate strategies or remedies to address these impediments for each participating jurisdiction over the next five years from 2025 to 2029.
City Council 11 – 1 7/16/2024
Regional Assessment of Fair Housing and Memorandum of Understanding with Surrounding Jurisdictions
July 16, 2024
This regional approach to the Assessment of Fair Housing has been undertaken previously and included the City. In 2015, the City of Newport Beach took the lead, followed by the City of Anaheim in 2020, to procure and lead an agreement with a qualified consultant to complete a Regional Assessment of Fair Housing. Both the City of Newport Beach and City of Anaheim, respectively, executed an agreement with a consultant as the lead and issued payment on behalf of all of the surrounding jurisdictions in Orange County in return for a proportional reimbursement. For the fiveyear period for Fiscal Years (FY) 2025-29, the City has agreed to assume this leadership role in procuring this agreement and issuing payment.
Procurement Process
Staff collaborated with all of the surrounding jurisdictions in Orange County to draft a Request for Proposals and select a qualified consultant to complete the Regional Assessment of Fair Housing. Following an inclusive regional review process, on March 11, 2024, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP No. 24-036A) for the preparation of the FY 2025-29 Regional Assessment of Fair Housing. Four firms submitted proposals, with the following total costs:
1) Veronica Tam and Associates, Inc.: $290,960
2) MDG Associates, Inc: $159,822
3) GROW America (formerly the National Development Council): $99,210 4) Willdan Engineering: $50,260
Representatives from five surrounding jurisdictions reviewed and scored the proposals.
Each of the four firms underwent a comprehensive evaluation, assessing their experience, methodology, public engagement strategies, and total cost. While all four firms were qualified, MDG Associates, Inc. stood out due to their exemplary experience.
As a result, the regional committee and City staff recommend entering into an Agreement with MDG Associates, Inc. to prepare the FY 2025-29 Regional Assessment of Fair Housing in an amount not to exceed $159,882 for a one-year term beginning August 1, 2024 and expiring July 30, 2025 (Exhibit 1).
With approval by City Council, this Regional Assessment of Fair Housing will be completed for the City and all of the surrounding jurisdictions in Orange County paid for proportionally through a Memorandum of Understanding and Payment Agreement (MOU) (Exhibit 2). The City’s proportionate share of the cost of this MOU will be $16,456.65. The contributions for each jurisdiction were determined by population size, directly linked to the federal funds allocated to each jurisdiction by HUD. If a jurisdiction decides not to execute the MOU following their prior commitment, that jurisdiction will not be included in the Regional Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) and the portion of payment required by all participating jurisdictions will be increased, including the City.
Since there are 33 other jurisdictions, with their respective attorneys and financial officers, who will be reviewing the MOU before making payment, staff is also requesting authorization for the City Attorney to reasonably revise the template MOU as needed.
City Council 11 – 2 7/16/2024
Regional Assessment of Fair Housing and Memorandum of Understanding with Surrounding Jurisdictions
July 16, 2024
Authorizing the City Attorney to revise the MOU, as needed, will assist in collecting payments, substantially in the form attached hereto, with all of the surrounding jurisdictions participating in the Regional Assessment. An example of what would not constitute a revision “substantially in the form attached hereto” includes the following nonnegotiable item: a “Payor” that does not agree to pay their proportional allocation of costs based on population estimates provided in Exhibit B. This means negotiable items for the City Attorney may include, but not be limited to, a Payor that requires payment to be made to the City in installments, a Payor that declines to accept one or more of the Standard Provisions in the MOU, or some other unanticipated issue or concern that one or more attorneys or staff from the surrounding jurisdiction(s) could require of the City when they are requested to sign the MOU in return for making payment. The spirit and intent of the MOU is to serve as an invoice with certain terms and conditions for payment.
Key Terms in Agreement with MDG Associates, Inc.
MDG Associates, Inc. (MDG) will communicate regularly with all jurisdictions participating in the development of the Regional AFH. Throughout the process, MDG will facilitate monthly check-in meetings with all participating jurisdictions and provide biweekly summary reports. To ensure consistent feedback and input, MDG will develop the Regional AFH in an iterative process and provide sections and components to the participating jurisdictions for feedback throughout the duration of the project.
MDG will undertake nine primary tasks to develop the Regional AFH:
1. Project Kick Off and Coordination
2. Data Collection
3. Data Assessment
4. Regulatory Review
5. Outreach and Input Process
6. Community Forums and Public Meetings
7. Draft Regional Assessment of Fair Housing
8. Final Regional Assessment of Fair Housing
9. (Optional) Presentation at Participating Jurisdictions’ Council Meeting(s).
Following the completion of their research and analysis, MDG will also draft a comprehensive five-year plan detailing recommended action items tailored to address the identified fair housing impediments across jurisdictions. These recommendations will be categorized into three tiers: individual jurisdiction actions, sub-regional actions, and regional actions. Individual actions pertain to initiatives within each jurisdiction's purview, while sub-regional and regional actions will require intercity cooperation or involvement at the County, State, and/or Federal level.
MDG’s work will begin in August 2024 and be completed by July 2025. To meet HUD requirements, each jurisdiction must secure approval of the Regional AFH from their respective governing bodies. Subsequently, the approved Regional AFH must be submitted to HUD by each jurisdiction to ensure compliance.
City Council 11 – 3 7/16/2024
Regional Assessment of Fair Housing and Memorandum of Understanding with Surrounding Jurisdictions
July 16, 2024
Key Terms in Memorandum of Understanding
The Memorandum of Understanding and Payment Agreement (MOU) includes the following key terms:
• Term: August 1, 2024 to July 30, 2025
• Each surrounding jurisdiction agrees to their 2024 population estimate and proportional payment to the City as a percentage of the total cost of $159,822 for the services to be provided by MDG Associates, Inc. (For example, the County of Orange will pay $23,840.82 and the City of Anaheim will pay $18,011.41 to the City.)
• The City will make payment to MDG Associates, Inc. in six installments based upon their Scope of Work up to a total amount of $159,822.
If the Agreement with MDG Associates, Inc. and the MOU are not approved by City Council, the City will need to inform the surrounding jurisdictions that the City is not able to participate in this regional partnership and their respective staff will need to identify an alternative plan. The deadline for each jurisdiction to submit their Assessment of Fair Housing to HUD is before June 30, 2025 and the development of a complete Assessment takes up to a year.
FISCAL IMPACT
While the City is serving as the lead jurisdiction for contracting purposes, there are 33 surrounding jurisdictions sharing in the cost of preparing the Regional Assessment of Fair Housing. Each of the participating jurisdictions has confirmed that they will execute the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreeing to pay their identified share of the total cost. The City’s proportionate share of the total cost will be $16,456.65. If a jurisdiction decides not to execute the MOU following their prior commitment, that jurisdiction will not be included in the Regional Assessment of Fair Housing and the portion of payment required by all participating jurisdictions will be increased, including the City’s portion up to the total amount of the Agreement.
Funds were available in the CDA-Service Enhancements Contract Services account (01118017-62300) in FY 2023-24. Therefore, a proposed carryover of unspent funds will be presented to City Council in September for approval of carryovers to FY 2024-25.
