• Augmenting participants’ financial resources by providing donation-based meals.
Meals on Wheels Orange County was selected by the County of Orange, effective July 1, 2024, to be the only provider of Older Americans Act Lunch Café (Congregate), Home Delivered Meals, Case Management, Transportation and In-Home Services in the County’s Service Areas 1-4, which includes the City of Santa Ana in Service Area 3.
Thus, Santa Ana is in the catchment area for these services.
The funding the City provides helps maintain high serving levels for the Congregate programs provided at the two senior centers, the Santa Ana Senior Center and the Southwest Senior Center. It also has contributed to the ability to launch certain innovations for the benefit of Santa Ana residents, such as Lunch Café Select. Through this innovation, the Southwest Senior Center has been the first location in Orange County to offer a choice of two different lunch menus to the seniors.
Furthermore, the City’s funding helps maintain a robust level of services for Home Delivered Meals and provide homebound residents with a choice of menus such as Multi-cultural, Hispanic, Asian, Vegetarian, and Lactose-free.
The agreement also provides $9,700 for as-needed meals/services during the term of the contract for special senior programs that may occur. The City of Santa Ana has partnered with MOW for over three decades and would like to continue this collaboration for another year.
Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 2-807(a), authorizes the City to make non-bid purchases of services, supplies, materials, and equipment whenever it shall appear that there is only one reasonably available source. Staff researched available procurement options and product offerings in the market and determined that the Senior Meals Program offered by Community SeniorServ, Inc. dba Meals on Wheels Orange County meets the City’s specifications. Staff recommends awarding an agreement with Community SeniorServ, Inc. dba Meals on Wheels Orange County (Exhibit 1).
The non-profit organization leverages supplemental funding from external sources to support program operations and offset the full cost of services to the City. As a result, the partnership provides a cost-effective approach that maximizes available resources and expands community benefit beyond what could typically be achieved through a traditional procurement process. Through this collaboration, the City is able to enhance and add value to the overall services provided to residents.

AGENDA TITLE
Agreement with Pyro Spectaculars, Inc. for a Pyrotechnics and Fireworks Show for the 4th of July Celebration Event (Specification No. 26-069) (General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Pyro Spectaculars, Inc. to provide a pyrotechnics and fireworks show for the 4th of July Celebration Event, in an amount not to exceed $34,815 for a term beginning June 2, 2026 and expiring July 30, 2026 (Agreement No. 2026-XXX).
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes
DISCUSSION
This year’s 4th of July celebration marks the 250th anniversary of the nation’s independence. In accordance with purchasing guidelines, the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Agency requests approval for a new agreement with Pyro Spectaculars, Inc. for this year’s celebration. Pyro Spectaculars, Inc. provides pyrotechnics and fireworks shows for various engagements. The agreement will provide a 20-minute firework production to celebrate this year’s 4th of July at Centennial Park.
All pyrotechnic equipment, trained pyrotechnicians, shipping, and related products will be provided by Pyro Spectaculars.
Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 26-032 was issued on March 11, 2026 on the City’s online bid management and publication system. A summary of vendor participation and results is as follows:
210 Vendors notified
1 Santa Ana Vendor notified
14 Vendors downloaded the RFP packet

Proposals were solicited, opened on April 7, 2026, and evaluated. Two proposals were submitted by the RFP deadline. However, after completing the review process, none of the submitted proposals were able to fully meet the operational and production needs required for the event, specifically the specialized fireworks component necessary to deliver the level of programming and show experience expected for the City's event. As a result, all vendors that participated in the RFP process were ultimately rejected. Due to the time-sensitive nature of event planning and the necessity of securing a qualified provider capable of meeting all event requirements, the Department reached out to Pyro Spectaculars for vendor services. Pyro Spectaculars has successfully provided fireworks services for the City over the past five years with consistent professionalism, reliability, and strong safety performance. Their demonstrated experience with City events, familiarity with operational logistics, ability to meet the required fireworks specifications, and proven track record of successful event execution make them the most qualified vendor to fulfill the City’s needs at this time. Retaining an experienced and dependable vendor is critical to ensuring public safety, maintaining event quality standards, and delivering a successful community event.
Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 2-807(c) authorizes the City to make non-bid purchases in situations where no bids are received or all bids are rejected.
Staff requests to enter into an agreement with Pyro Spectaculars, Inc. Although the agreement amount would fall within the City Manager’s authority of $50,000, the City had previous contracts with the vendor that total $52,335, including this agreement, during the 2025-26 Fiscal Year. As a result, this new agreement would exceed the City Manager’s authority and thus requires City Council approval.

TOPIC: Animal Care Services
AGENDA TITLE
Agreement with County of Orange for Animal Care Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with the County of Orange for animal care services for a five-year term beginning May 31, 2026 through May 30, 2031 in an estimated total amount not to exceed $21,193,695. (Agreement No. A-2026-XXX) GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No
DISCUSSION
On January 6, 2003, the Council approved actions to transition the operation of the City’s animal shelter to the County of Orange as a contracted service. The City has continued to contract with Orange County Animal Care since that time, with the latest ten-year agreement expiring on May 30, 2026.
As reported to the City Council on April 7, 2026, with the Early Direction Budget staff report, shelter operating costs have more than doubled in four years, from less than $2 million in FY21-22 to an estimated $4.2 million in FY25-26.
Staff reviewed detailed County data for July 2025 through March 2026 and summarized cost drivers on an annualized basis.

The OC Animal Shelter follows policy set by the Board of Supervisors, including no limit on the number of days an animal can spend in the shelter. The statewide average is 20 days. On average, Santa Ana animals are spending 10-14 days in the shelter before being adopted; however, there are exceptions, such as a bird that has spent 138 days in the shelter as of March 31, costing the City’s taxpayers more than $6,000.
The OC Animal Shelter requires identification showing a Santa Ana address and information about the location where the animal was found.
There are a number of reasons for the high intake volume and lengthy stays. The OC Animal Shelter is required by state law to take every underage (less than 8 weeks), aggressive, sick, or injured cat, and every dog, regardless of status. Often, the shelter intakes entire litters of underage kittens. State law also limits the euthanasia of adoptable pets. The OC Animal Shelter only euthanizes morbidly sick animals and those with well-documented behavioral issues. Although infrequent, the shelter must also hold animals as part of litigation or investigation cases.
In addition to the shelter following county policy, state law, and court orders regarding intakes and shelter days, groups of cat advocates in Santa Ana are contributing to a high number of intakes.
There are steps the City can take to reduce overall costs over time, but each comes with challenges and/or initial costs.
Consider licensing pet cats, with a no-cost first-year license for adoptions.
Currently, the City only requires licenses for dogs.
Take proactive steps to acquire unlicensed pet information to increase licensing revenue.
City Council

Implement a public information campaign on how to use the Animal Shelter. For example, concerned citizens should observe a litter of outdoor kittens before immediately taking them to the shelter, as the mother cat may be temporarily away hunting.
Adopt an Ordinance prohibiting cat-colony feeding to reduce the unintended impacts of attracting other wildlife to the food source, such as coyotes. Adopt a Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) program for cats with no-cost spay and neuter services.
Consider additional veterinarian staff at the Zoo to be available for both no-cost and low-cost spay and neuter services.
Staff is currently assessing each of these options to develop specific plans and recommendations to control costs over time.
City staff evaluated several options to provide animal shelter care services. It was determined that continuing to contract with Orange County Animal Care is the most cost-effective way to provide this legislatively required service to the City.
As part of our due diligence, Police Department staff contacted surrounding shelters and organizations. The Police Department determined that no other shelter has the capacity to address Santa Ana’s animal care needs. The shelters/organizations that were contacted include:
City of Irvine, CA
City of Long Beach, CA
City of Seal Beach, CA
Orange County Humane Society
Priceless Pet Rescue
Mission Viejo Animal Services
Additionally, and by way of comparison, the City of Anaheim’s City Council approved their agreement for animal care services with the County for 26-27 fiscal year with a cost of $5,788,082, plus 10% contingency. The City of Irvine, provides their own animal care services, titled Irvine Animal Care Center, which has an allocated FY 26-27 budget of $5,934,335. The City of Santa Ana’s total projected cost for the FY 26-27 budget cycle including City staff cost, vehicles, expenses, and agreement with the County is $4,735,659.
Animal Shelter Services Agreement
The proposed five-year animal care services agreement will begin on or about May 31, 2026, with an estimated cost of $21,193,695. The agreement shall not exceed five years, with no provision for extension, and shall terminate May 30, 2031. The estimated total cost does not include potential inflation adjustments and is solely based on the projected cost of $4,238,739 for the 2026-2027 fiscal year (Exhibit 3). The County may

adjust costs, higher or lower, to meet current service demands or to account for the costs of supplies.
The County may terminate the agreement, without cause, upon twelve (12) months written notice to the City or immediately upon default by the City of its obligations of the agreement. The obligations of the County or City as agreed upon are contingent upon the provision of sufficient funding for the services in the applicable budgets approved by the Board of Supervisors and the Santa Ana City Council. In the event such funding is subsequently reduced or not appropriated, either the County of the City may terminate the agreement upon thirty (30) calendar days written notice to the other party. In the event the County elects to discontinue usage of the shelter for sheltering purposes prior to December 31, 2066, the County is required to offer qualifying cities, including Santa Ana, the opportunity to lease the Shelter for animal sheltering purposes until such date, at a cost of $1.00 per year plus all rental costs, if any, owed to South Orange County Community College District (SOCCCD) pursuant to the Ground Lease entered into between County and SOCCCD.
Staff recommends the approval of the agreement with the County of Orange with the effective date of May 31, 2026 to ensure uninterrupted animal shelter services from Orange County Animal Care.

Santa Ana, CA 92702
RE: OC Animal Care - Notice of Intent
Greetings:
Enclosed
for your reference are three copies of the new Animal Care Notice of Intent (NOI).
This notice includes a list of the Animal Care services that the County of Orange (County) intends to provide for your City during the upcoming fiscal-year, which spans from 07-01- 26 through 06-30-27, at an estimated Net Cost of $4,238,739.
The methodology used for calculating this estimate is based on the average net cost totals paid by each jurisdiction for services provided and user fees collected during the last two full fiscal-years (07-01-23 to 06-30-25). The Net Cost estimate for the previous NOI was calculated based on the number of Animal Control and Animal Shelter services provided to your City, along with the amount of fee revenue collected, during the most recent 12 months (03-01-24 through 02-28-25). The update in methodology reflects an effort to provide an estimate that normalizes any atypical service volumes.
For fiscal-year 2026-27, the Net Cost estimate for all Contract Cities and the County has increased by 3.07% to $21,523,232. This is primarily due to salary increases approved by the County in labor negotiations with all unions and the continual need for OC Animal Care to fill critical positions in order to provide the high-quality services expected. While a total of 126 filled positions and 17 vacancies is projected for the upcoming fiscal-year, please note that number may be adjusted mid-year in order to meet the current demands for service. The increase is also caused by the rising cost of many essential Animal Care items, which include pharmaceuticals, feed, and general animal supplies.
As stated in the Agreement for Provision of OC Animal Care Services, each City shall be billed either in equal installments based on its Notice of Intent for that year, or based on actual utilization for the period, whichever is greater for the first three quarters of the year with the final, fourth quarter billed on actual utilization for the full year of services.
Therefore, your City’s actual Net Cost for the entire fiscal-year may be higher or lower than the estimate provided. Also, if any of the previous Contract Cities no longer request services from OC Animal Care or if any new Cities request services, the year-end estimate will be recalculated and an updated version will be provided.
Please review the enclosed NOI, obtain the signature of your City’s authorized representative on all three copies, and return them to:

The Santa Ana Police Department’s (SAPD) Traffic Division provides parking enforcement services using full-time City parking enforcement personnel and contracted personnel.
In 2012, the City of Santa Ana began contracting with a vendor to provide parking enforcement services to the City of Santa Ana. The contracted services include (1) full- time Supervisor, (6) full-time Ambassadors, and (1) part-time Parking Ambassador. The contracted personnel are responsible for enforcing all street sweeping routes throughout the city, while SAPD parking enforcement officers handle parking complaint calls for service. Parking Ambassadors supplement the enforcement of various municipal code parking violations, including assisting with nighttime permit parking enforcement, as well as parking and abandoned vehicle complaints. The program's proposed annual billable hours are 2,080 hours for a Parking Ambassador supervisor and 13,520 hours for Parking Ambassadors.
LAZ has been providing parking enforcement services since 1981. They provide parking enforcement services to 639 cities across 44 states. In California, they provide enforcement services to Newport Beach, Pomona, Burbank, Malibu, and the city of San Bruno. They have been providing services to the City of Santa Ana for eight years.
A new feature to this new contract will be that LAZ Ambassadors will now be equipped with Body Worn Cameras (provided by LAZ) to capture their efforts and interactions with community members. SAPD will also continue to provide Parking Ambassadors and the SAPD Parking Control Officers with refresher Community Engagement Enforcement Training at the start of the contract.
The agreement compensation section includes language that specifies that any extensions of the term will require amendments to the agreement to provide funding for the extended term and are subject to the approval by the City Council. Staff will seek authorization from City Council for each subsequent extension period.

TOPIC: Award of Service Agreements to Ocean Blue Environmental Services, Inc. and United Storm Water, Inc. for Spill Response, Hazardous Waste Disposal, and Storm Drain Facility Maintenance Services
AGENDA TITLE
Award of a One-Year Service Agreement to Ocean Blue Environmental Services, Inc. and to United Storm Water, Inc. for Spill Response, Hazardous Waste Disposal, and Storm Drain Facility Maintenance Services for an Annual Amount Not to Exceed $550,000 per Agreement with Provisions for Four (4) One-Year Extensions of each Agreement for a total amount of $5,500,000 (Non-General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Ocean Blue Environmental Services, Inc. to provide Spill Response, Hazardous Waste Disposal, and Storm Drain Facility Maintenance Services for an annual amount not to exceed $550,000 for a one-year term beginning June 2, 2026, and expiring on June 1, 2027, with provisions for four (4) one-year extensions for a total amount of $2,750,000 (Agreement No. A-2026-XXX).
2. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with United Storm Water, Inc. to provide Spill Response, Hazardous Waste Disposal, and Storm Drain Facility Maintenance Services for an annual amount not to exceed $550,000 for a one-year term beginning June 2, 2026, and expiring on June 1, 2027, with provisions for four (4) one-year extensions for a total amount of $2,750,000 (Agreement No. A-2026-XXX).

DISCUSSION
Authorized by the Federal Clean Water Act, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program was established in 1972 to regulate pollutant discharges to waters of the United States. In California, the Water Quality Control Board administers the NPDES Permit program. To achieve compliance with

requirements, the City is a co-permittee under the North Orange County Municipal NPDES Permit, which is issued by the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board.
The Public Works Agency (PWA) is responsible for maintenance of the City’s stormdrain system and compliance with NPDES Permit requirements. The Permit requires the City to reduce pollutants discharged in urban runoff to the “maximum extent practicable.” To comply with the permit, the City is required to annually clean and maintain its storm drain system, which includes approximately 382 catch basins, 1,432 catch basins with trash capture screens and stormwater treatment devices, 150 culverts, and five stormwater lift stations. The City is also required to respond to and eliminate illegal discharges and clean up pollutant spills that could impact the storm drain system or receiving waters. Allowing pollutant spills to impact receiving waters may deem the City out of compliance with the NPDES Permit and could be subject to enforcement by the Regional Water Quality Control Board.
PWA currently utilizes the services of Ocean Blue Environmental Services, Inc. and United Storm Water, Inc. to provide spill response, hazardous waste disposal, and storm drain facility maintenance services. The current contracts for these services have a not to exceed total capacity of $900,000 per year and expire on June 19, 2026. The increase in expenditure capacity to $1,100,000 per year is due to the inclusion of additional services, such as weed abatement in channels and maintenance of stormwater infrastructure at City facilities such as the Corporate Yard as well as increased labor and equipment rates. In some instances, costs are recovered for spills originating from private property, however this represents a small portion of total expenditures. The majority of costs incurred under the current agreements are for storm drain facility maintenance services and hazardous waste disposal from illegal dumping.
To secure continued services, a Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 26-018 was advertised on February 19, 2026 on the City’s online bid management and publication system, PlanetBids (Exhibit 1). A summary of vendor participation and results is as follows:
2560 Vendors notified
158 Santa Ana vendors notified
32 Vendors downloaded the bid packet
4 Bids received
0 Bids received from Santa Ana vendors
Proposals were solicited, opened on March 12, 2026, and evaluated. Four bids were submitted by the RFP deadline and four bids were determined to be responsive to the specifications and met the City’s requirements. Four proposals were received and evaluated by a selection committee comprised of personnel from the Public Works

EXHIBIT C – Insurance Requirements
Contractor shall procure and maintain for the duration of the agreement, the following insurance coverages:
MINIMUM SCOPE AND LIMIT OF INSURANCE
Contractor shall maintain limits of insurance coverage in the following minimum amounts and shall be at least as broad as:
• Commercial General Liability (CGL): Insurance Services Office Form CG 00 01 covering CGL on an “occurrence” basis, including products and completed operations, property damage, bodily injury and personal & advertising injury with limits no less than $2,000,000 per occurrence and $4,000,000 aggregate.
• Automobile Liability (AL): Insurance Services Office Form CA 00 01 covering Code 1 (any auto), with combined single limits of $1,000,000. In the event Contractor does not maintain commercial automobile liability insurance, City will accept evidence of personal automobile insurance, provided that such policy is endorsed for business use and provides coverage with a minimum limit of $1,000,000. Required policy limits can be met with primary and umbrella/excess insurance policies.
• Workers’ Compensation (WC): as required by the State of California, with statutory limits, and Employer’s Liability Insurance with limit of no less than $1,000,000 per accident, per employee, per policy for bodily injury or disease. This requirement can be waived if Contractor has no employees. Contractor attests that its workers’ compensation coverage extends to all persons who will be working with the City under the agreed scope of services.
• Pollution Legal Liability (PLL). With limits no less than $1,000,000 per occurrence or claim, and $2,000,000 policy aggregate.
• Professional Liability (Errors and Omissions (PL): with limits no less than $1,000,000 per occurrence or claim, and $2,000,000 aggregate.
If Contractor maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above, City requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or the higher limits maintained by Contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to City.
Other Insurance Provisions

1. CGL and AL policies: City of Santa Ana, its City Council, its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of work or operations performed by or on behalf of the Contractor including materials, parts, equipment, and personnel furnished in connection with such work or operations.

3. All required insurance policies: For any claims related to this contract, Contractor’s insurance coverage shall be primary and any insurance maintained by City, its City Council, its officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers shall not contribute with it.
4. All required insurance policies: A severability of interest provision must apply for all the additional insureds, ensuring that Contractor’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom a claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability.
5. Each insurance policy required herein shall provide that coverage shall not be canceled, suspended, voided, reduced in coverage or in limits, non-renewed by the carrier, or materially changed except after thirty (30) days prior written notice has been given to City. Ten (10) days prior written notice shall be provided to City for policy cancellation or non-renewal due to non-payment.
6. Certificate Holder on each Evidence of Insurance certificate shall be: City of Santa Ana, Attention: Craig Foster, 20 Civic Center Plaza, M-22, Santa Ana, CA 92701.
The name and location of the project or event should be included in the Description of Operations section of each certificate.
Self-Insured Retentions
Self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. City may require Contractor to purchase coverage with a lower retention or provide proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention.
Acceptability of Insurers
Insurance is to be placed with insurers authorized to conduct business in the state of California with a current A.M. Best rating of no less than A:VII, unless otherwise acceptable to City.
Verification of Coverage
Contractor shall furnish City with original Certificates of Insurance including all required amendatory endorsements (or copies of the applicable policy language effecting coverage required by this clause) and a copy of the Declarations and Endorsement Page of the CGL policy listing all policy endorsements to Entity before work begins. However, failure to obtain the required documents prior to the work beginning shall not waive the Contractor’s obligation to provide them. City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements required by these specifications, at any time.
Claims Made Policies
If any of the required policies provide coverage on a claims-made basis:
1. The retroactive date must be shown and must be before the date of the contract or the beginning of work.
2. Insurance must be maintained and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least three (3) years after completion of work.
3. If coverage is canceled or non-renewed, and not replaced with another claims-made policy form with a retroactive date prior to the contract effective date, Contractor must purchase “extended reporting” coverage for a minimum of three (3) years after completion of work.
