Staff Report
January 21, 2025
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 Human Resources and Police Departments in accordance with the retention schedule outlined in City Council Resolution 2013-14.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No

DISCUSSION
On April 1, 2013, the City Council approved Resolution 2013- 014 (resolution). This resolution provides the multiple agencies, departments, and offices of the City guidance on the retention of City records, such as how long the records need to be retained.

City staff compiled the Citywide Records Retention Schedule (schedule) which sets forth the retention period for a particular record. The schedule reflects the requirements of the California Government Code, is modeled after the California Secretary of State' s sample for local government, and incorporates 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. 13 of the resolution and the City’s Municipal Code requires that the City Attorney approve the destruction of a City record. Accordingly, Human Resources and the Police Department have prepared a list of obsolete records proposed for destruction in the form of a memorandum (Exhibits 1 and 2). A copy of the memorandum was reviewed by staff from the City Attorney’s Office and approved by the City Attorney.

Destruction of these records will serve to benefit each office with more efficient access to files and alleviate the City’s storage needs to maintain obsolete records.

AUDIT REPORTS:

Audited Financial Statements – Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2024
Annually, the Accounting Division prepares an ACFR, which includes the City’s audited financial statements and statistical information for each fiscal year. The ACFR is prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) along with the reporting requirements of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The City Council 10 – 1 1/21/2025
Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2024 January 21, 2025

Page 2 ends

City’s independent public accounting firm, CLA, audits the financial statements, reviews other financial items at the City’s request, and issues reports.

The Accounting Division is pleased to report that the City received an unmodified opinion commonly known as a clean opinion; which is considered the most favorable conclusion for the audit. The unmodified opinion indicates that the City’s financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the City, changes in financial position, and cash flows for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 (Exhibit 1).

The ACFR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 is posted and available on the City’s website (https://www.santa-ana.org/financial-reports) along with prior fiscal years. The report was submitted to the Government Finance Officer Association’s Certificates of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting Program. The award is the highest form of recognition in governmental accounting and financial reporting. The City has received this prestigious award for forty-six (46) consecutive years.

In addition to the audit opinion, CLA issued the following communication letters:

Government Auditing Standards (GAS) Letter (Exhibit 2)
Auditor’s communication of reportable conditions based on their review of the City’s internal controls over financial reporting and on compliance. The results of their review disclosed no instances of noncompliance for the fiscal year 2023-24.

Governance Letter (Exhibit 3)
Formal communication from the auditor to the City Council, which discloses information related to the audit, including but not limited to the City’s accounting practices and implementation of new accounting rules and estimates.

Audit of the City’s Air Quality Management District (AQMD) Financial Statements (Exhibit 4)
Under Assembly Bill 2766 Chapter 1705 [California Health and Safety Code (CHSC) Sections 44220 through 44247], cities and counties receiving the AB 2766 funds are required to separately account for the revenue and to expend the revenue for air pollution reduction measures. The AQMD audit report reflects the City’s compliance to such measures.

The Accounting Division is pleased to report that the City received an unmodified opinion (clean) on the AQMD audit report and no compliance findings were noted.

Single Audit Report – Not Included Herein
The City is also required to have a Single Audit of federal financial assistance by March 31st following each fiscal year. Staff expects the Single Audit Report will be issued during February 2025 and will be presented to the City Council shortly thereafter.

SEPARATELY ISSUED REPORTS:

In addition to the ACFR and the AQMD reports, CLA performed the following AgreedUpon Procedures (AUP) examinations.

Appropriation Limit Calculations, also known as GANN Limit (Exhibit 5) The GANN limit established the appropriations limit on expenditures for publicly funded programs in accordance with Section 1 of Article XIII of the California Constitution. The Accounting Division is pleased to report that no findings were noted as a result of this AUP Review.

City’s Compliance with the Statement of Investment Policy (Exhibit 6) The City elected to have the auditor confirm the City’s compliance with its Investment Policy. The Accounting Division is pleased to report that no findings were noted as a result of this review.

Measure X Agreed-Upon-Procedures Report (Exhibit 7)
In accordance with SAMC 35-216, staff has prepared an annual report that includes the list of expenditures made with Measure X money for the fiscal year 2023-24. In accordance with SAMC 35-215, CLA has reviewed the annual report prepared by staff, verified the numbers presented, and opined the numbers are fairly stated. On January 15, 2025, the audit engagement partner presented the report to the Measure X Citizens Oversight Committee, in accordance with Section 6 of Resolution No. 2019-008 (the Committee’s establishing resolution). We expect the Committee will prepare its annual report and make recommendations to the City Council in time for the budget process, in accordance with the same establishing resolution.

As part of the fiscal year 2023-24 audit, CLA offered to meet with each City Council Member individually to allow for transparency of the audit process and facilitate open communication. The City Council also has direct access to the independent auditors throughout the year.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Santa Ana
Santa Ana, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the businesstype activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Santa Ana (the City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City, as of June 30, 2024, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Emphasis of a Matter
Change in Accounting Principle: Change to or Within the Financial Reporting Entity During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the City adopted GASB Statement No. 100, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, which resulted in the disclosure of a restatement for a change in funds that qualified as major. See Note 4I. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter. 17 EXHIBIT 1
City Council 10 – 5 1/21/2025
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Santa Ana
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
 Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
 Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of City of Santa Ana’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
 Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
 Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about City of Santa Ana’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

City Council
18 10 – 6 1/21/2025
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Santa Ana
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that that the management’s discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison schedules - general and major special revenue funds, notes to the required supplementary information, schedule of changes in net pension liability and related ratios and schedule of plan contributions for the miscellaneous, safety, and supplementary retirement plans, and schedule of changes in the total OPEB liability and related ratios be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with GAAS, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City of Santa Ana’s basic financial statements. The combining and individual non-major fund financial statements and schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the combining and individual non-major fund financial statements and schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.

In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 12, 2024, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER

FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS

BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED

IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Santa Ana
Santa Ana, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Santa Ana, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City of Santa Ana’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 12, 2024.

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City of Santa Ana’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Santa Ana’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Santa Ana’s internal control.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.

EXHIBIT 2
City Council 10 – 9 1/21/2025
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council

Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether City of Santa Ana’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Purpose of This Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Santa Ana (the City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and have issued our report thereon dated December 12, 2024. We have previously communicated to you information about our responsibilities under auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit in our engagement agreement dated May 29, 2024. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.

Significant audit findings
Qualitative aspects of accounting practices
Accounting policies
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by the City are described in Note 1 to the financial statements.

As described in Note 1 E, the City changed accounting policies by adopting Statement of Governmental Accounting Standards (GASB Statement) No. 100, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, effective July 1, 2023. The implementation of this standard resulted in the City showing a restatement for a change to or within the financial reporting entity due to the change in presentation of the Capital Projects Capital Grants Capital Projects Fund from nonmajor to major.

We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.

Accounting estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the financial statements were:
• The annual required contributions, pension expense, net pension liability, and corresponding deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources for the City's agent multiple employer defined benefit pension plans are based on actuarial valuations provided by California Public Employee Retirement System actuaries and for the City's single employer defined benefit pension plan are based on an actuarial valuation provided by a third-party actuary.

• The other postemployment benefits (OPEB) expense and total OPEB liability, and corresponding deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources for the City's OPEB plan are based on an actuarial valuation provided by a third-party actuary. • The claims liability for workers' compensation and general liabilities are based on certain actuarial assumptions and methods prepared by an outside consultant. • The allowance for uncollectible accounts are based on management's analysis of collectability of receivables based on terms and conditions of agreements, as well as current economic conditions and considerations of creditors ability to pay. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the above estimates in determining that they are reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Financial statement disclosures
Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users. There were no particularly sensitive financial statement disclosures.

The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.

Difficulties encountered in performing the audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.

Uncorrected misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. The attached schedule summarizes uncorrected misstatements of the financial statements. Management has determined that their effects are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Corrected misstatements
None of the misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Disagreements with management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditors' report. No such disagreements arose during our audit.

Circumstances that affect the form and content of the auditors' report As previously communicated to you, the report was modified to include an emphasis of a matter to direct readers to Note IE to the financial statements regarding adoption of new account guidance, Statement of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB Statement) No. 100, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.

City Council 10 – 12 1/21/2025

Management representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated December 12, 2024.

Management consultations with other independent accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a "second opinion" on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the entity's financial statements or a determination of the type of auditors' opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.

Required Supplementary Information
With respect to the required supplementary information (RSI) accompanying the financial statements, we made certain inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the RSI, including whether the RSI has been measured and presented in accordance with prescribed guidelines, whether the methods of measurement and preparation have been changed from the prior period and the reasons for any such changes, and whether there were any significant assumptions or interpretations underlying the measurement or presentation of the RSI. We compared the RSI for consistency with management's responses to the foregoing inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge obtained during the audit of the basic financial statements. Because these limited procedures do not provide sufficient evidence, we did not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.

Supplementary information in relation to the financial statements as a whole With respect to the combining and individual non-major fund financial statements and schedules (collectively, the supplementary information) accompanying the financial statements, on which we were engaged to report in relation to the financial statements as a whole, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period or the reasons for such changes, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves. We have issued our report thereon dated December 12, 2024.

Other information included in annual reports
Other information (financial or nonfinancial information other than the financial statements and our auditors' report thereon) is being included in your annual report and is comprised of introductory and statistical sections. Our responsibility for other information included in your annual report does not extend beyond the financial information identified in our opinion on the financial statements. We have no responsibility for determining whether such other information is properly stated and do not have an obligation to perform any procedures to corroborate other information contained in your annual report.

We are required by professional standards to read the other information included in your annual report and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the financial statements because the credibility of the financial statements and our auditors' report thereon may be undermined by material inconsistencies between the audited financial statements and other information. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report. Our auditors' report on the financial statements includes a separate section, "Other Information," which states we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance on the other information included in the annual report. We did not identify any material inconsistencies between the other information and the audited financial statements.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Air Quality Improvement Special Revenue Fund of the City of Santa Ana, California (the City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, as listed in the table of contents.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Air Quality Improvement Special Revenue Fund of the City, as of June 30, 2024, and the changes in financial position thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only the Air Quality Improvement Special Revenue Fund and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the Santa Ana, City of, California, as of June 30, 2024, the changes in its financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Members of the City Council

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
 Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
 Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the budgetary comparison schedule be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with GAAS, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Members of the City Council

Management has omitted the management’s discussion and analysis that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the financial statements. Such missing information, although not a part of the financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. Our opinion on the financial statements is not affected by this missing information.

Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 12, 2024 on our consideration of the Air Quality Improvement Special Revenue Fund’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance as related to the Air Quality Improvement Special Revenue Fund. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance as related to the Air Quality Improvement Special Revenue Fund.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2024
(6)
NOTE 1 GENERAL
The financial statements are intended to reflect the financial position and changes in the financial position attributable to the Air Quality Improvement Special Revenue Fund (AQMD) of the City of Santa Ana, California (the City). These financial statements are exclusively for AQMD and do not purport to, and do not present fairly the financial position and changes in the financial position for the City.

The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) is authorized under Assembly Bill 2766 (AB 2766) Chapter 1705 [California Health and Safety Code (CHSC) Sections 44220 through 44247] to impose a motor vehicle registration fee to be used by the SCAQMD and local governments specifically for programs to reduce air pollution from mobile sources and related planning, monitoring, enforcement, and technical studies necessary for the implementation of the California Clean Air Act of 1988.

The California Department of Motor Vehicles collects the vehicle registration fee and subvenes it to SCAQMD. Upon receipt, the vehicle registration fee is split into segments with 40% of the revenue place in a special revenue fund designated as the Air Quality Improvement Trust Fund for quarterly distribution to local governments.

CHSC Section 44243 requires cities and counties receiving the AB 2766 funds to separately account for the revenues and to expend the revenues for air pollution reduction measures pursuant to the California Clean Air Act of 1988 or the SCAQMD’s Air Quality Management Plan pursuant to Article 5 of Chapter 5.5 of Part 3 of the CHSC.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Fund Accounting
The financial activity of the City is accounted for on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. Monies under AB 2766 are accounted for in the Air Quality Improvement Special Revenue Fund, which is a special revenue fund.

B. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
The accounting and financial reporting treatment is determined by the applicable measurement focus and basis of accounting. Measurement focus indicates the type of resources being measured such as current financial resources or economic resources.

The basis of accounting indicates the timing of transactions or events for recognition in the financial statements.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) B. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting (Continued) AQMD’s financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting.

C. Budgetary Accounting
The City and its component units' fiscal year begins on July 1 of each year and ends June 30 the following year. On or before the fifteenth of June of each year, the City Manager recommends and submits to the City Council a proposed budget for the ensuing fiscal year based on a detailed financial plan prepared by the heads of the various offices, agencies and departments of the City and its component units.

The proposed budget is presented to the Council during a public hearing, A notice advertising the public hearing is published in a local publication in May and /or June. The public is given the opportunity to be heard at this hearing and City Council may make modifications to the proposed budget with an affirmative vote of a super majority (5). On or before the 30th day of June, the City Council meets to adopt the proposed budget, as amended by the affirmative vote of a supermajority (5) of the seven-member Council. In the event that a budget is not formally adopted by the 30th day of June, the City Charter requires City Council to adopt a budget no later than July 31. Upon final adoption, the budget becomes the authority for the various departments, agencies, and offices to expend appropriations, subject to controls established by the City Charter.

At any meeting after the adoption of the budget, the City Council may amend or supplement the budget by affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (5) of the members to authorize the transfer of unused balances appropriated for one purpose to another purpose, or to appropriate available revenue not included in the budget. When appropriations are made to offices, departments, or agencies for more than one activity or program, "appropriations" are considered in the aggregate with respect to total expenditures authorized for that office, department or agency within each fund, limited to purposes for which the revenues of such funds are to be spent. The City Manager is authorized to make revisions among the items included in such appropriations if such revisions are necessary and proper. The legal level of budgetary control exists at the department and fund level. Council action is necessary for transfers between funds and departments. During the fiscal year, all budget and supplemental amendments were necessary and made in a legally permissible manner.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) C. Budgetary Accounting (Continued)
The City legally adopts annual budgets for the Air Quality Improvement Special Revenue Fund. The budgetary control for the Special Revenue Fund is under the department in charge. The Public Works Agency is responsible for the budget of the Air Quality Improvement Special Revenue Fund.

Budgets are prepared on a modified accrual basis. Encumbrances (e.g., purchase orders, contracts) outstanding at year-end are reported as restricted or assigned fund balances since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities. All other annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end to the extent that they have not been expended or lawfully encumbered. Expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations at the department level.

Budgetary Compliance. During the fiscal year, the total Fund’s expenditures were within the legal prescribed limits as approved by the City Council.

D. Deferred Inflows of Resources
In addition to liabilities, the balance sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of fund balance that applies to a future period and will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The AQMD fund has one item that qualifies for reporting in this category, which is unavailable revenues from intergovernmental revenues and interest receivable. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available.

E. Fund Balance
AQMD’s fund balance is reported based on the extent to which the City is bound to observe constraints on the use of the AQMD’s resources. AQMD’s fund balance is classified under restricted, which include amounts which are constrained for specific purposes that are 1) externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments or 2) imposed by law through enabling legislation.

AQMD’s fund balance is restricted for programs initiated for the purpose of implementing the California Clean Air Act. Information regarding the fund balance reporting policy adopted by the City is described in Note 1 to the City of Santa Ana’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report.

F. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect certain reported amounts and disclosures.

Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3 CASH AND INVESTMENTS
AQMD’s cash and investments balances are pooled with various other City funds for deposit and investment purposes. Each fund’s share of the pooled cash account is separately accounted for, and investment income is apportioned to the participating funds based on the relationship of their average daily balances to the total of the pooled cash and investments.

Information regarding the credit risk and authorized types of deposits and investments in the City’s pooled cash and investments is included in the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. This report can be obtained from the City of Santa Ana.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER

FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS

BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN

ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Santa Ana
Santa Ana, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the City of Santa Ana, California (the City), including the Air Quality Improvement Special Revenue Fund (the AQMD), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the AQMD’s financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 12, 2024.

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the AQMD financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as it relates to the AQMD as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control related to the AQMD. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control related to the AQMD.

Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the AQMD’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, including Assembly Bill 2766 Chapter 1705 (Health and Safety Code Sections 44220 through 44247), noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Purpose of This Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance related to the AQMD. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control and compliance related to the AQMD. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

The procedures and the associated findings are as follows:

We obtained the completed Appropriations Limit Worksheet No. 6 for the year ended June 30, 2024 and compared the limit and annual adjustment factors included in that worksheet to the limit and annual adjustment factors that were adopted by resolution of the City Council. We also compared the population and inflation options included in the aforementioned worksheet to those that were selected by a recorded vote of the City Council.

No exceptions were noted as a result of our performing this procedure.

2. For the Appropriations Limit Worksheet No. 6, we added last year’s limit to the total adjustments, and compared the resulting amount to this year’s limit.

No exceptions were noted as a result of our performing this procedure.

3. We compared the prior year appropriations limit presented in the accompanying Appropriations Limit Worksheet No. 6 to the prior year appropriations limit adopted by the City Council for the prior year.

NOTE 1 PURPOSE OF AGREED-UPON PROCEDURES
Under Article XIIIB of the California Constitution (the Gann Spending Limitation Initiative), California governmental agencies are restricted as to the amount of annual appropriations from proceeds of taxes. Effective for years beginning on or after July 1, 1990, under Section 1.5 of Article XIIIB, the annual calculation of the appropriations limit is subject to agreed-upon procedures in connection with the annual audit.

NOTE 2 METHOD OF CALCULATION
Under Section 10.5 of Article XIIIB, for fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 1990, the appropriations limit is required to be calculated based on the limit for the fiscal year 1986-87, adjusted for the inflation and population factors discussed at Notes 3 and 4 below.

NOTE 3 INFLATION FACTORS
A California governmental agency may adjust its appropriations limit by either the percentage change in California per capita personal income from the preceding year (which is supplied by the State Department of Finance), or the percentage change in the local assessment roll from the preceding year due to the change of local nonresidential construction. The factor adopted by the City of Santa Ana (the City) for fiscal year 2023- 2024 represents the percentage change in California per capita personal income from the preceding year.

NOTE 4 POPULATION FACTORS
A California governmental agency may adjust its appropriations limit by either the annual percentage change of the jurisdiction’s own population, or the annual percentage change in population in the County where the jurisdiction is located. The factor adopted by the City for fiscal year 2023-2024 represents the annual percentage change in the population in the County where the City is located.

NOTE 5 OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
A California governmental agency may be required to adjust its appropriations limit when certain events occur, such as the transfer of responsibility for municipal services to, or from, another governmental agency or private entity. The City had no such adjustments for the year ended June 30, 2024.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
ON EXAMINATION OF MANAGEMENT’S ASSERTIONS
ABOUT THE CITY’S COMPLIANCE WITH MEASURE X
Measure X Citizen Oversight Committee
and Members of City Council of the City of Santa Ana
Santa Ana, California
We have examined management of the City of Santa Ana, California’s, (the City) assertion that the accompanying schedule of Measure X revenues and uses/expenditures (the Schedule) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 is accurate and that the City’s uses/expenditures of Measure X funds complied with the requirements of Measure X ballot language (the specified requirements). The City’s management is responsible for its assertion. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion about the City’s compliance with the specified requirements based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform the examination to obtain reasonable assurance about whether management’s assertion about compliance with the specified requirements is fairly stated, in all material respects. An examination involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about whether management’s assertion is fairly stated, in all material respects. The nature, timing, and extent of the procedures selected depend on our judgment, including an assessment of the risks of material misstatement of management’s assertion, whether due to fraud or error. We believe that the evidence we obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We are required to be independent and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to the engagement.

Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the City’s compliance with the specified requirements.

In our opinion, management’s assertion that the accompanying Schedule for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 is accurate and that the City’s uses/expenditures of Measure X funds complied with the requirements of Measure X ballot language, is fairly stated, in all material respects.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Measure X Citizen Oversight Committee, City Council, and management of the City of Santa Ana and is not suitable for any other purpose.

NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF MEASURE X REVENUES AND USES/EXPENDITURES JUNE 30, 2024
(3)
NOTE 1 REVENUES AND USES/EXPENDITURES
Measure X revenues consist of the 1.5 cent transactions and use tax approved by the voters of Santa Ana on November 6, 2018 and became effective April 1, 2019. Total revenue collected for fiscal year 2023-2024 was $83,602,680.

Measure X is a general-purpose tax, which means the revenues received from the tax go into the City’s General Fund to maintain or enhance any lawful City program, improvement, or service such as maintain effective 9-1-1 response, retaining firefighters, addressing homelessness, fixing streets, maintaining parks, youth services; and other unrestricted general revenue purposes.

To determine some of the Measure X expenditures, the City performs an analysis comparing expenditures between the current year and the base year. The base year has been identified as fiscal year 2018-19, representing the year of Measure X’s passage.

When completing the analysis, the City determines; (1) the amount of the increase of expenditures when compared to the base year, (2) significant contractual increases, and (3) increase in expenditures between cost centers or programs. Some Measure X expenditures are based entirely on vendor invoices. The accompanying Schedule of Measure X Revenues and Uses/Expenditures is summarized by ballot category.

Total Measure X uses/expenditures for fiscal year 2023-2024 were $83,602,680, including amounts carried forward to fiscal year 2024-2025. The largest program expense was other unrestricted general revenue purposes totaling $27,107,264, which included the following:
 Addressing prior year deficits and employee compensation increases for nonSafety employees totaling $11.7 million o $10.2 million - deficit
o $1.5 million - planned savings
 Future Pension Stabilization - $7.2 million
 Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center Subsidy and Maintenance - $1.1 million  Increase the City Events Budget - $0.6 million
 Graffiti Abatement Service Enhancement (Graffiti Removal) - $0.8 million  New Debt Payments for Purchase of Streetlights - $0.8 million  Support for Utility Billing, Business Retention and HR – Administrative - $0.9 million  Sales Tax Rebate - Volvo & Tac Energy - $0.6 million

TOPIC: Purchase Order Contract for Library Materials and Cataloging Services

AGENDA TITLE
Purchase Order Contract with Brodart Company for Purchase of Collections and Cataloging Services for the Santa Ana Public Library (General Fund)

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to increase Purchase Order Contract authority with Brodart Company for the purchase of Library collections and cataloging services by $375,000, for an annual not to exceed amount of $965,000, for the current contract term ending October 31, 2026, with two optional one-year renewals.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No

DISCUSSION
On October 17, 2023, the City Council approved a Purchase Order Contract with Brodart Company in an annual not-to-exceed amount of $590,000 for the purchase of Library collection and cataloging services for all Library locations, for a term expiring October 31, 2026 with two optional one-year extensions. Brodart Company is the Library’s primary supplier of collections/materials purchases and cataloging processing services.

On December 17, 2024, the City Council approved a one-time funding allocation in the amount of $375,000 to purchase additional collections to rebuild the Library’s inventory in preparation for the Library locations reopening after construction. Much of the existing collection was worn due to prolonged use and sun damage and needed to be replaced.

Further, the Library anticipates a significant increase in circulation upon re-opening of the Library branches, requiring the purchase of additional materials.

Increasing Purchase Order Contract authority with Brodart Company will allow the Library to quickly and effectively curate collections and order books. Brodart Company will also hold all book purchases and ship them in accordance with construction completion timelines. This will eliminate the need to pay for additional storage space while the Library locations are under construction.

AGENDA TITLE
Citywide Sports Field Maintenance Schedule for 2025-2026

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive and file Citywide Sports Field Maintenance Schedule for 2025-2026.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No

DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency (PWA)’s Parks, Fleet, Facilities, and Refuse Services Division is responsible for overseeing the maintenance and improvements of Santa Ana City parks and facilities. In May 2022, the City Council approved the Parks Master Plan (PMP) to guide the City’s investment in parks, recreation facilities, trails, and open spaces over ten years. The PMP identifies key initiatives, including managing and maintaining parks and recreation assets through good stewardship.

The Park Maintenance team currently maintains six soccer fields and 35 baseball fields.

The sports fields require routine preventative maintenance to provide safe, green, and playable grounds. The citywide renovation schedule closes the fields to allow turf to recover from usage and provides staff the opportunity to aerate, reseed, and allow time for the seed to germinate; thus, providing optimal playing conditions (Exhibit 1).

To develop the schedule, staff evaluated the location to determine the best time of year for field renovation and coordinated with various user groups to reduce the impacts of field closures. Staff alternates the annual renovation cycles to not impact the same league or sport consistently. The Citywide Sports Field Maintenance Schedule will be shared with impacted sports leagues and posted on the City website. Moreover, all fields will have signs posted indicating closure dates.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive and file.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No

DISCUSSION
In California, regulation and control of the division of real property is vested in the legislative bodies of local agencies by the Subdivision Map Act. In the City of Santa Ana, the regulations and processes are provided in Chapter 34 and 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), which pursuant to Section 34-127, includes the approval of tentative tract maps by the Planning Commission. However, if additional entitlements require approval such as Environmental Review and General Plan Amendment, then the Tentative Tract Map is approved by City Council.

Following the approval of the tentative map by the approving body, the property subdivider prepares and submits a final map(s) to the City Engineer for approval. If the final map is in the correct form, prescribed by the Subdivision Map Act and Chapters 34 and 41 of the SAMC, and all conditions set forth in the tentative map are met, the final map shall be approved by the City Engineer.

On September 1, 2020, the Santa Ana City Council approved Tentative Tract Map 2020-01 (Orange County Map No. 18178) to allow the proposed subdivision of land into 10 condominium units and the construction of an attached townhome development. The approved tentative tract map (Exhibit 1) allows subdivision of the project site for condominium ownership purposes. The project is nearly fully constructed and the Developer has submitted a final map for approval.

The City Engineer is in the process of reviewing the final tract map (Exhibit 2) for technical accuracy and final approval. This action informs the City Council of the City Council 13 – 1 1/21/2025

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a Purchase Order Contract to All American Asphalt for asphalt concrete materials for a term beginning January 21, 2025 and expiring January 20, 2026, with provisions for four, one-year renewals exercisable by the City Manager, for a total contract amount of $400,000.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No

DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency (PWA) Water Resources Division performs a variety of maintenance and repairs on the City’s water and sewer systems. The work performed includes mainline leak repairs and replacement of water services and sewer laterals where temporary asphalt concrete mix is used for trench cut out repairs. Additionally, permanent asphalt concrete trench resurfacing is provided under a separate contract also administered by the Public Works Agency. This proposed contract will supply staff with the materials needed to perform temporary street repairs.

Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. 24-125 was advertised on October 24, 2024 on the City’s online bid management and publication system. A summary of vendor participation and results is as follows:

275 Vendors notified

Bids were solicited, opened on November 12, 2024, and evaluated (Exhibit 1). Two bids were submitted by the Invitation for Bid (IFB) deadline and one was determined to be responsive to the specifications and met the City’s requirements. The bid submitted by Bart Richard Woodward Corporation was deemed non-responsive as it did not meet the requirements of the IFB. The bid submitted by All American Asphalt was determined to be the lowest, responsible, and responsive to the City’s specifications. To ensure sufficient resources are available at all times, staff recommends awarding a purchase order contract to All American Asphalt.

Santiago Park is a 35-acre wilderness park equipped with various recreational facilities including playgrounds, sports fields, bike/hiking trail, and picnic areas.

Staff evaluated the east side restroom at Santiago Park and determined that improvements are necessary to ensure the facility's functionality and the safety of its users. Due to prolonged exposure to natural elements and consistent usage, the existing doors and roof have deteriorated, compromising the structure's integrity and user comfort.

Staff recommends approving the appropriation adjustment to recognize $50,000 of accumulated Residential Development-District 2 account balance that will be appropriated for spending on the improvements of the Santiago Park east side restroom. Restroom improvements will be performed by PWA staff and existing on-call contractors.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No

DISCUSSION
The City experiences significant flooding of roadways during intense rain events, which can have negative impacts on vehicle and pedestrian travel, business operations, and can cause property damage. The City’s 2018 Storm Drain Master Plan recommended numerous stormdrain system improvements citywide in order to facilitate storm flows and reduce flooding. The Public Works Agency has successfully sought grant opportunities to fund such projects and was awarded $4,675,000 from the Prop 68 Floodplain, Management, Protection, and Risk Awareness (FMPRA) grant program for the Rousselle Street Flood Protection Project.

This project features the upgrade of existing stormdrain infrastructure along Rousselle Street, from Warner Avenue to St. Gertrude Place, which will connect to the newly constructed stormdrain on Warner Avenue (Exhibit 1). The project also includes new drought-tolerant landscaping along the Maple Bike Trail, interpretive signage, asphalt paving, new curb-ramps, new curbs and gutters, striping, and stormwater treatment devices. The goal of the project is to increase the capacity of the City’s stormdrain system in the Delhi Channel Watershed to better facilitate storm flows.

Public Outreach and Contractor Participation
This project was originally advertised for bid on October 22, 2024, with bids due on November 12, 2024. To provide an opportunity for local vendors to submit bids, the City notified 2,615 regional vendors via PlanetBids, many of which are Santa Ana based.

Ten vendors requested bidding documents, and a total of ten bids were received. Bids were not received from any Santa Ana contractors.

As legally required, a Notice Inviting Bids was advertised in the Orange County Register newspaper on October 23, 2024 and October 30, 2024. The project was also advertised in PlanetBids from October 22, 2024 through November 12, 2024. Bids were received electronically via PlanetBids on November 12, 2024.

A total of ten bids were received. Mike Bubalo Construction Co., Inc. submitted the lowest responsive base bid in the amount of $4,058,259 (Exhibit 2). As specified in the bid documents, the lowest bid shall be determined by the Base Bid. A Bid Alternative item was also included in the project specifications for additional drought tolerant landscaping along the Maple Bike Trail (Exhibit 3).

In the past five years, Mike Bubalo Construction Co., Inc. has not performed any work for the Public Works Agency. Based on the bid analysis and a contractor reference check, staff recommends awarding the construction contract to Mike Bubalo Construction Co., Inc., for the construction of the Rousselle Street Flood Protection Project (Exhibit 4).

Project Delivery
To deliver a complete project, in addition to the construction contract, the estimated total project delivery cost includes a budget allocation for construction administration, inspection, and testing. Construction administration and inspection may be performed by either staff or consultants and includes construction management, inspection of the Contractor’s work to ensure contract compliance, workmanship and quality, materials testing, and implementation of the labor requirements.

Any of the allocated construction administration funds not spent are considered project savings and are returned to the respective fund balance upon close out of the project.

As indicated in the Cost Analysis (Exhibit 5) and as summarized in the table below, the estimated total construction delivery cost of the project is $5,139,259.

Project Contingencies $411,000
TOTAL CONSTRUCTION DELIVERY COST $5,139,259

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the recommended actions are exempt from further review pursuant to Sections 15301(b), 15301(c), and 15302(c) of the CEQA guidelines for projects consisting of the replacement or reconstruction of existing publicly owned utilities, streets, sidewalks, and gutters. The project continues these parameters of the CEQA guidelines and Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. ER-2024-57 was filed with the Orange County Clerk-Recorder for the project (Exhibit 6).

FISCAL IMPACT
As indicated in the Cost Analysis, the estimated total construction delivery cost of the project is $5,139,259. All funds are available for expenditure in Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

Any remaining balances not expended at the end of the fiscal year will be carried forward into Fiscal Year 2025-2026.

The proposed contract authorizes staff a maximum of 10% in contingencies for construction contract change orders. Staff will return to City Council for authorization and appropriation of additional contingency if necessary.

With approval of the requested appropriation adjustment, a portion of the accumulated fund balance will be appropriated for spending in the Federal Clean Water Protection Enterprise, Improvements Other Than Building (No. 05717640-66220). The spendable portion of the fund balance is estimated to be $6,957,265 at June 30, 2025, which is sufficient to allow for the recommended appropriation of $831,000. The funds will be budgeted and available for this item in the accounts below.
