TOPIC: Lease Payments for the Santa Ana WORK Center

AGENDA TITLE
Appropriation Adjustment for Lease Payments for the Santa Ana WORK Center (Non- General Fund)

RECOMMENDED ACTION

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No

DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana WORK Center (WORK Center), located at 801 W.

These services are in collaboration with partner organizations such as Employment Development Department, Orange County Social Services, Department of Rehabilitation, and SER Jobs for Progress.

On June 6, 2023, the City of Santa Ana (City) entered into a First Amendment to Office Lease agreement with Santa Ana CA I SGF, LLC (Santa Ana, LLC). Under the agreement, the City is responsible for the payment of the monthly rent. Portions of the space are subleased to partner agency organizations and the City’s Rent Stabilization Division and Santa Ana Housing Authority, which reimburse the City for their proportional share of the lease payment.

The appropriation adjustment will align the WORK Center’s Rent Payment budget with the current rental revenues and the City’s anticipated share of lease expenses. This adjustment will allow the City to continue to be current on rental payments to Santa Ana, LLC.

FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the appropriation adjustment will appropriate $272,580 to the expenditure accounts below. Any remaining balances not expended at the end of the fiscal year will be presented for City Council consideration of carryover to FY 2026-27.

Staff Report
June 16, 2026
TOPIC: Jail Security Control System Equipment

AGENDA TITLE
Purchase Order to CB Pacific, Inc. for Jail Security Control System Equipment (Specification No. 26-077) (General Fund)

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize a Purchase Order to CB Pacific, Inc. for jail security control system equipment in an amount not to exceed $89,629.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes

DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Jail security controls system currently in place is original to the facility and requires certain hardware upgrades to remain viable through the interim period until a complete system refresh can be completed. These upgrades will ensure ongoing system stability and are necessary for the safe and reliable operation of facility access controls.

Due to the jail security control system's age, components are not readily available.

Emerson is the only manufacturer of components compatible with the existing system.

CB Pacific, Inc. is the only authorized distributor for Emerson Machine Automation Solutions products in the State of California.

Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 2-807(a, e), 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 it was determined that Emerson Machine Automation Solutions equipment meets the City’s specifications.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.

TOPIC: Law Enforcement Helicopter Services

AGENDA TITLE
Agreement with the County of Orange for Law Enforcement Helicopter Services

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute a three-year agreement with the County of Orange, Sheriff-Coroner Department, to provide helicopter services in an amount not to exceed $731,775 for the period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029 and delegate authority to the City Manager to execute subsequent amendments in year two (July 1, 2027 - June 30, 2028) and year three (July 1, 2028 - June 30, 2029) for the contract amount of the first year of this agreement, $221,080, plus up to 10% (Agreement No. A- 2026-XXX).

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No

DISCUSSION
In October 1994, the City of Santa Ana began participating in the Airborne Law Enforcement Services (ABLE) program. ABLE was a regional helicopter program that combined resources from the cities of Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, and Santa Ana. In 2011, ABLE was discontinued, and the City transitioned to a similar program administered by the County of Orange for this service.

Airborne Law Enforcement Services allow the Santa Ana Police Department to provide a rapid enhanced response to incidents posing the greatest risk to the public, including robberies, burglaries, assaults, and fleeing felons. Additionally, the helicopter is utilized to assist in locating missing persons, coordinating fire department response, and locating individuals in need of rescue. This contract with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department will provide helicopter services for the City of Santa Ana from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029. The County will provide 100 hours of helicopter service per year under this agreement. The Santa Ana Police Department will also provide one full-time sworn pilot/observer to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department for this program.

Flight hours deemed countywide service will not count toward the contracted flight hours per year. The following types of calls are deemed countywide service: vehicle pursuits; bank robberies involving tracking systems; stolen vehicles equipped with tracking systems; riots; felonious suspects within a perimeter; assaults involving a weapon; or an officer in need of assistance. The County will provide the City with a monthly flying-hour report detailing assigned call time, patrol time, and countywide service time spent within the City's jurisdiction, as reported by Sheriff aircrews.

The first-year agreement cost is $221,080. Due to the inherent unknown nature of providing airborne law enforcement services, the County will reevaluate the cost of this service annually and provide the City with an annual cost estimate. If this item is approved as presented, the City Council will authorize the City Manager to execute subsequent amendments for years two and three, provided any annual increase does not exceed 10%. Increases exceeding 10% will require City Council approval.

With the pending implementation of Unmanned Aerial Systems in the City of Santa Ana, the annual flight hours of this agreement were reduced by 73% compared to the previous helicopter services contract (100 vs 365 hours), resulting in savings to the City of approximately $1 million over the three-year contract period.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.

FISCAL IMPACT
The amount of the three-year agreement shall not exceed $731,775. Funding will be available in the FY 26-27 budget, and funding for subsequent fiscal years will be included in the proposed budgets for City Council consideration as follows:

Any increase beyond ten percent for any amendment of this Agreement will require City Council approval.

3. Flight hours that are deemed countywide service will not be counted towards the contracted flight hours per year. The following type calls are deemed countywide service: Vehicle pursuits, bank robberies involving tracking systems, stolen vehicles equipped with tracking systems, riots, felonious suspects within a perimeter, assaults involving a weapon or an officer in need of assistance.

4. City shall not receive a refund if the total flight hours, on an annual basis, are less than the contracted flight hours per year. Upon 30 days written notice to City, County may adjust the hourly rate based e time per call. Any services in excess of the
contract flight hours per year, on annual basis, shall be billed to City.

5. County will provide the City with a monthly flying hour report detailing assigned call time, patrol Division Commander within ten days of

6. County shall invoice City monthly and will require payment by City of one-twelfth (1/12) of the Maximum Obligation of City.

7. At the time this Contract is executed, there may be unresolved issues pertaining to potential changes in salaries and benefits for County employees. If changes result in the County incurring or becoming obligated to pay for increased costs for or on account of personnel whose costs are included in the calculations of costs charged to City hereunder, City shall pay County, the full costs of said increases to the extent such increases are attributable to work performed by such personnel after the starting date of this Contract. City shall pay County in full for such increases on a pro-rata basis over the portion of the Contract term remaining after County notifies City that increases are payable.

If City is required to pay for such increases, County, at the request of City, will thereafter reduce the level of service provided to City to a level that will make the Maximum Obligation of City an amount specified by City.

TOPIC: Land Management Electronic Plan Review System

AGENDA TITLE
Purchase Order Contract to Avolve Software Corporation for Land Management Electronic Plan Review System (Specification No. 26-060) (General Fund)

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award Purchase Order Contract to Avolve Software Corporation for ProjectDox, a Land Management Electronic Plan Review System, in a total amount not to exceed $85,680, for a one-year term beginning July 3, 2026 and expiring July 2, 2027.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes

DISCUSSION
The City of Santa Ana has been in continuous operation with the ProjectDox Land Management Electronic Plan Review system since 2020. It continues to serve as the primary platform for electronic submissions and review of all planning, permitting, and construction documents for the Planning and Building and Public Works agencies.

ProjectDox allows all plan submittals to the City to be electronically reviewed, approved, and stored while eliminating the need for paper plans or document. Applicants are able to submit plans, retrieve corrections, and verify project status online at any time, reducing or eliminating travel time for applicants during business hours and when City Hall is closed after hours or on weekends.

ProjectDox is a proprietary solution and the only system that supports continuity with the City’s current electronic plan review environment. Since the City began using the software, staff has made improvements to the user interface and internal processes to streamline the submission process for applicants and the review process for staff. The City's departments are fully trained on this platform.

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, including a request-for-proposal (RFP) for a

Furthermore, this purchase order contract is strategically timed to support the City’s current transition to the Accela Electronic Permit Portal.

TOPIC: Facility Use Agreements at River View Golf Course

AGENDA TITLE
Facility Use Agreements with Golf Instructors for Golf Lessons and Programming at River View Golf Course

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute five (5) separate non-exclusive facility use agreements with Bongwon Kim, Kyoung Im Kwon Victoria, Putting for Eagle, LLC, Robert W. Stevens, and Jamie Estrada to provide golf lessons at River Golf Course in an amount of $500 each per month paid to the City for a term beginning July 1, 2026, and expiring June 30, 2027 (Core Agreement No. A-2026-XXX).

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No

DISCUSSION
The City of Santa Ana Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Agency (PRCSA) oversees recreational operations and programming at River View Golf Course, including golf instruction opportunities that support player development, community recreation, and continued activation of the golf course facility. Historically, independent golf instructors have operated at River View Golf Course under arrangements established with the former leaseholder.

On March 3, 2026, the Santa Ana City Council approved a new professional management agreement with CourseCo Inc. to operate River View Golf Course under a management services model. Under this updated operational structure, independent golf instructors are no longer able to provide instruction directly through CourseCo, as instructors offering similar services would be required to operate as employees of the management company.

To avoid disruption of existing instructional services and maintain continuity for current golf students and instructors, PRCSA is proposing five (5) non-exclusive Golf Instructor Use Agreements directly between the City and existing instructors:

Kyoung Im Kwon Victoria
Putting for Eagle

Facility Use Agreements at River View Golf Course

Robert W. Stevens
Jamie Estrada
This one-year framework will allow instructors to continue independently teaching at the facility while the City and CourseCo evaluate long-term operational and programming strategies for golf instruction services at the course.

The intent of the one-year instructor agreements is for CourseCo and City staff to evaluate instructor utilization, demand, and overall business activity during the first year of operation while also reviewing historical operating patterns from prior years. Based on that evaluation, more specific guardrails and performance expectations can be developed and incorporated into future instructor agreements. Our goal is to maximize the effective use of available space and instructional opportunities while ensuring continued public access and high-quality programming.

The proposed agreements would permit instructors to utilize designated practice and instructional areas at River View Golf Course for private golf instruction during approved operating hours coordinated by CourseCo staff. Instructors will contract directly with the City, while CourseCo will oversee day-to-day scheduling and space allocation to ensure instructional activities do not conflict with golf course operations, public play, tournaments, or City programming. The non-exclusive structure provides the City and CourseCo with operational flexibility to accommodate multiple instructors and other facility users concurrently.

Under the proposed agreements, each instructor will pay a monthly facility use fee of $500. Instructors will also be required to maintain current insurance documentation with the City, comply with all operational and safety requirements, and remain in good standing throughout the term of the agreement.

The proposed $500 monthly use fee is not currently included in the City’s adopted fee schedule and therefore requires City Council approval. The proposed structure is consistent with a similar non-exclusive facility use model previously approved by the City for independent aquatics instruction partnerships at City pool facilities.

Approval of the proposed agreements will allow the City to maintain continuity of golf instruction services for the community during the operational transition at River View Golf Couse while establishing a clear framework for independent instructor access and operational oversight. The one-year agreement term will provide staff the opportunity to evaluate program demand, operational impacts, and potential future models for golf instruction services at the facility.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.

TOPIC: Award Youth Agreements Funded with Federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Funds

AGENDA TITLE
Award $600,000 of Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Formula Youth Funds for Program Year 2026-2027 (Non-General Fund)

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute agreements to award $600,000 in Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) youth program funds for a one-year period beginning July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, contingent on the availability of WIOA funds for the 2026-2027 program year, with the following organizations (Core Agreement No. A-2026-XXX):

1. Orange County Children’s Therapeutic Arts Center, in the amount of $200,000, to provide paid work experience, career counseling, job readiness and life skills training, mentoring, academic support, and industry-recognized certifications.

2. Working Wardrobes for a New Start, in the amount of $200,000, to provide career coaching, workforce readiness workshops, paid work experience, training in high-demand industries, and supportive services.

3. Taller San Jose Hope Builders, in the amount of $200,000, to provide career pathway training, industry-recognized certifications in healthcare, construction, and child development, employment readiness, job placement, and support services.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes

DISCUSSION
Under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), the Santa Ana Workforce Development Board (WDB) is tasked with contracting qualified Youth Service Providers to offer WIOA-funded services to eligible at-risk youth in Santa Ana. With WDB approval, staff released two Requests for Proposals (RFPs) on November 4, 2022, and March 4, 2025. The first RFP resulted in one organization, the Orange County Therapeutic Arts Center, being deemed eligible to provide youth services through June 30, 2027, contingent on available funding and satisfactory performance. The second

RFP in March 2025 created an additional pool of eligible organizations for a two-year procurement cycle from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027.

While organizations are selected through multi-year procurement cycles, the City enters into WIOA-funded youth services agreements on a one-year basis due to annual federal funding allocations and budget appropriations. As a result, the current agreements for Program Year 2025-2026 will end on June 30, 2026, and staff recommends approval of new one-year agreements for Program Year 2026-2027. This approach allows the City to evaluate provider performance each year, ensure compliance with changing WIOA funding levels and program requirements, and maintain flexibility in managing youth services.

On April 21, 2025, a review committee composed of three Workforce Development Board Youth Council members evaluated and scored the proposals based on the criteria outlined in the RFP. As a result of this process, all three organizations were deemed eligible for inclusion in the two-year procurement cycle ending June 30, 2027.

The committee established the following rankings:

Rank Organization
1 Working Wardrobes for a New Start
2 StandUp for Kids
3 Taller San Jose Hope Builders
Staff recommends funding Working Wardrobes and Taller San Jose Hope Builders.

StandUp for Kids, although currently funded for PY 2025-26, has requested not to be funded for PY 2026-27.

On April 9, 2026, the Workforce Development Board Youth Council Committee approved the Youth Council recommendations to award $200,000 each to Orange County Children’s Therapeutic Arts Center, Working Wardrobes for a New Start, and Taller San Jose Hope Builders to serve 20 youth each.

Orange County Children’s Therapeutic Art Center (OCCTAC), with more than 25 years of experience, has served over 70,000 youth in Santa Ana through culturally competent, trauma-informed programming. Each year, the organization supports approximately 7,000 youth, with targeted services for foster youth, youth with disabilities, high school dropouts, homeless youth, and youth on probation. OCCTAC has been a WIOA Youth provider since 2005.

For Program Year 2026–2027, OCCTAC will continue providing a comprehensive WIOA youth employment program that covers 13 of the 14 WIOA-required elements. Services include:
Paid work experience in high-demand fields like education, technology, and the arts;

Special consideration for organizations that can serve the following youth populations: 75% of Out-of-School youth (required); 10% of youth with disabilities; 10% of foster/emancipated youth; 10% homeless youth and 10% of youth on probation). For the past 15 years, OCCTAC has always exceeded the number of youth with disabilities served in this program. Also, in the past few years, we have also exceeded the percentage required for Foster youth in the program, thanks to our strong community partners and their referrals to OCCTAC. See below Table 2 for past Enrollment Numbers and percentages.

Table 2- Percentages of Youth Population served at OCCTAC Youth Population 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 2019-22 Out of School Youth 75% 75% 80% 82% 80%
Youth with Disabilities 25% 25% 50% 52% 50%
Foster Youth 15% 15% 5% 0% 15%
High School Dropouts 15% 30% 20% 9% 15%
Youth on Probation 5% 0% 0% 0% 0%
Homeless Youth 5% 5% 10% 4% 10%
As seen on Table 2 above, OCCTAC has exceeded the minimum percentage required by this grant in most youth populations/categories, except for youth on probation. Therefore, this year we will expand our network and community partnerships to ensure the minimum of 10% for this target population. One new potential partner is Project Kinship, who serves youth on probation and is located in the same facility where OCCTAC is located! We have had some preliminary conversations on the possibility of getting referrals from them. See letter of support from our key community partners, including: the County of Orange, Social Services, (Foster Youth), Santa Ana Unified School District, TPP (youth with disabilities), Santa Ana College (out of school youth), and others.

E. Specify how the targeted youth populations (out-of-school, youth with disabilities, foster/emancipated, probation, homeless) will be recruited. As mentioned previously, OCCTAC has excellent community partnerships that will help us fulfill our enrollment goals and targeted youth populations. See below a summary of youth populations and partners.

1. Out of School Youth: OCCTAC has had a strong partnership with the Santa Ana College, Centennial Education Center for the past 20 years. We have received many referrals from SAC for out of school youth, as well as engage our youth in their State Certificate programs.

As seen in Table 2, OCCTAC has consistently served at least 80% of out of school youth in the program, throughout the years.

2. Youth with Disabilities: OCCTAC has had a strong partnership with the Santa Ana Unified School District, Transition Partnership Program (TPP) during the past 20 years, in order to serve youth with disabilities. As seen in Table 2, OCCTAC has exceeded the 10% minimum and has served consistently over 50% of youth with disabilities! We are grateful to our key community partner SAUSD TPP program staff for all of their referrals and support! Also, in the past 5 years, OCCTAC has a new contract with the Regional Center of Orange County and has been receiving referrals to serve young adults with disabilities.

3. Foster/Emancipated Youth: OCCTAC has a strong partnerships with Orangewood and the County of Orange, Social Services. We will continue to collaborate with these partnerships to continue to serve foster/emancipated youth. OCCTAC has been a partner with the County since 2007. We are looking forward to continuing to serve more foster/emancipated youth in Orange County this year.

4. Youth on Probation: As stated previously, OCCTAC has been in preliminary conversations with the ED at Project Kinship (Steven Kim) on the possibility of collaborating and getting referrals from their program for our WIOA program. Project Kinship operates in the same building as OCCTAC (2215 N. Broadway- second floor) where OCCTAC agency is located! The mission of Project Kinship is to provide support and training to lives impacted by incarceration, gangs, and violence through hope, healing, and transformation. OCCTAC will partner with PK to ensure at least 10% or this population in our program.

5. Homeless Youth: OCCTAC will continue to collaborate with various community agencies, including the WISE Place, an organization that focuses primarily on serving homeless women (youth and adults).

In addition to our excellent community partnerships, OCCTAC will continue to conduct community outreach, community presentations, and participate at various community events throughout the year to promote our programs and inform the youth in the Santa Ana community about this wonderful WIOA Youth Employment program at OCCTAC. See Table 3 for more information.

4. Assessment (1 page max):

A. Youth Service Providers are required to use the Test for Adult Basic Education (TABE) assessment tool, but may use other assessment tools upon approval. - OCCTAC will continue to use TABE testing with all our WIOA participants, as in previous years. Also, we will continue to use the electronic version of the Test for Adult Basic Education (TABE on ALL youth to assess their literacy and numeracy skills. Youth who score 8.9 and below are considered "basic skills deficient", and will be enrolled in tutoring at OCCTAC to help support both their literacy and numeracy skills, in order to help them improve their literacy and numeracy skills before they complete the program.

B. Describe how your program will conduct assessments for youth participants, elaborate on the type of assessment tools or surveys that will be used. - At intake, all participants will be given a TABE test to determine the participant's Educational Functional Level in Literacy and Numeracy. The TABE test will determine the needs of the participants in both academic areas. Additionally, they will aid in the facilitation of the weekly tutoring sessions.

All WIOA participants will be assessed after 3 months of tutoring to see their progress in each academic/subject area. If the youth goes up by 2 grade levels or more, the youth can take the final Post Test assessment. All participants will continue with the tutoring sessions if they score under 9.1 level.

C. Describe knowledge of the barriers that youth encounter - OCCTAC has served many youth with different barriers in life throughout our 22 years of community service! The majority of the barriers include youth with disabilities, youth with basic skills deficient, English language learners, low-income youth, homeless youth, youth in foster care or emancipated, pregnant or parenting youth, high school dropouts and other barriers.

OCCTAC is very committed to serving all youth with these barriers and any others.

D. Specify how your organization will address the barriers that youth encounter - OCCTAC WIOA staff is very dedicated and committed to all the youth that we enroll in our Youth Employment (WIOA) program at OCCTAC. We have offered this WIOA program for more than 15 years to the Santa Ana youth! Our staff is comprised of a hardworking group of individuals that are passionate about making a difference in the community, and are prepared to address all of the barriers that youth encounter. Our TEAM of dedicated staff guide and mentor the youth, and assist them during the entire program year. The team is comprised of a Case manager, a Literacy/Numeracy Tutor, a Career Counselor, a Job Developer and Work Experience mentors that help youth attain their educational and career goals. All of the youth are also required to attend monthly job skills/life skills 6 EXHIBIT 1

workshops, focusing anywhere from employment attainment/retention, to how to improve and change their own personal lives, and the community in which they live. In addition, to aid in academic barriers that youth experience, all participants will be assigned to an Educational counselor who will provide direction and coaching on any academic aspect, such as scholarship writing and enrollment into an institution of their interest. This service is crucial for all youth participating in the program because it will allow them to learn about various academic paths, including vocational training, HS recovery programs and 4-year institutions, while narrowing down a career of interest and actually committing to a program.

Furthermore, all participants will be provided with psychological/ mental health counseling (if needed), and other important support services. OCCTA's environment is very nurturing, fun and supportive, and provides youth opportunities to maintain a high level of involvement in our programs. WIOA youth are supported emotionally throughout the entire year at OCCTAC, and are provided with a positive and welcoming environment that also encourages youth to partake on various leadership roles within the various programs and activities at our agency. These additional activities provide youth with an opportunity to gain self-confidence, self-esteem and leadership skills. Our goal is to empower youth and provide a life changing opportunity through this WIOA program!

5. Paid & Unpaid Work Experience:

A. Describe in detail the paid and unpaid work experience opportunities that will be offered to the youth such as, Summer employment, Pre-apprenticeship programs, Internships or job shadowing, and On-the-Job training opportunities. Youth will engage in weekly "hands-on" work experience and job training opportunities at our agency and other community sites. The following tables (Tables 4, 5 & 6), demonstrate the variety of programs that we offer at OCCTAC and at offsite work experience locations. WIOA participants can choose from any of these programs/fields to fulfill their career goals and work experience. Please see below Table 4 for an overview of the various "hands-on" job­ training programs, mentoring and work experience opportunities at OCCTAC. 7 EXHIBIT 1

7. Preparation for Postsecondary Education and Training (3 pages max):

Note: WIOA only accepts certificates that are accredited by a State recognized educational entity or are recognized by employers. OCCTAC provides State recognized Certificate programs in partnership with the Santa Ana College. Therefore, any employer should recognize these certificate programs. We are extremely grateful for this wonderful partnership with the Santa Ana College. See letters of Support from the Santa Ana College in Attachments C and F.

A. Special consideration for organizations that offer preparation for postsecondary education and training in high-demand industries. OCCTAC offers youth with and without disabilities preparation for postsecondary education. As state previously, OCCTAC partners with the Santa Ana College to offer youth a variety of career path options. Our WIOA team (Educational and Career Counselors, Case Manager and Literacy/Numeracy Tutor) work together to assist all of the youth enrolled in this program. Because of the certificate programs provided at OCCTAC, youth apply to the following positions and receive minimum and above wages. For example,
• Micro Center $15.50 + Benefits
• Daikin AC $15.50
• Providence Speech $15.50 + Benefits
B. Special consideration for organizations that collaborate or partner with postsecondary institutions to enroll youth in career pathways that lead to an in-demand occupation.

OCCTAC partners with the Santa Ana College to enroll youth in career pathways of their choice. Also, we offer a variety of Santa Ana College courses at the OCCTAC facility, which is very convenient for our youth and other adults to enroll in a variety of college courses taught by SAC faculty at OCCTAC. Some of these courses include the following: Employability Skills, Business Classes, Health Education, Child Development, etc. In partnership with SAC, OCCTAC offers 2 State Certificate programs at our agency: 1) Child Worker State Certificate and the Office Clerk/Admin State Certificate), where they can earn a State Certificate in less than a year and the opportunity to find a job in one of these career pathways. This year, OCCTAC is also partnering with Janneth Linnell from Rancho Santiago Community College, Childcare Development Services to provide youth with work experience, internships and jobs in Childcare Career pathways. They are in high demand for hiring Instructional Assistants/ C. Identify and/or develop a pathway for youth that can prepare them to obtain a career or occupation that provides livable wages? Please elaborate on the specific pathway(s).

Developing a pathway for youth that can prepare them to obtain a career or occupation is a high priority for OCCTAC. Our WIOA team inspires and motivate our WIOA youth to continue to enhance their educational and career goals, whether they have a disability or not, our goal is for the youth to be more successful in life! Please see below a pathway that we have 13 EXHIBIT 1

City Council
15 –
37 6/16/2026

2026- 27 Orange County Children's Therapeutic Arts Center (OCCTAC) Youth Employment Program
created at our agency to assist and lead our WIOA participants.

Pathway for Post-Secondary Education
Participants will;

1. Meet educational counselor and identify interest and possible careers.

2. Research Necessary education and courses to reach a particular career.

3. Visit different campuses and apply to the ones they feel the most comfortable.

4. Take placement exams after being accepted to his or her school. 11 5. Research major and mi�rements for achievement
�

6. Apply to programs that will provide additional services that youth will need while in post secondary education (FAFSA, BOG, DSPS, EOPS ect.) 11 7. Create educational p�egistration to courses.

D. Describe in detail how the program will prepare youth for postsecondary education and training. The WIOA case manager, career and educational counselors meet regularly with each WIOA youth to discuss job leads, employment opportunities and post-secondary education.

The case manager and career counselor helps youth with employment, and the educational counselor helps youth with entering post-secondary education. The career counselor will assess all youth using ONET to learn about their career preference, interests and skills, and then match them with carriers of their choice. Youth will then be able to obtain assistance in researching different majors, vocational training and certificate programs that will allow them to enter into post-secondary education in their field of interest. The Educational Counselor will also provide assistance to youth in completing all necessary registration and financial aid, scholarships and any important forms to minimize any stress and anxiety on registration or financial burdens.

E. How will your organization expose youth to the various post-secondary educational institutions (colleges, universities, vocational training schools, apprenticeships, etc.). All year round, the WIOA youth and staff attend field trips to the various colleges and universities so they can get motivated and encouraged to enroll in any of these institutions with the help of the case manager and the career and educational counselors at OCCTAC. 14 EXHIBIT 1

Our youth will also attain work experience, internships and jobs at the Health Clinics that have partnered with OCCTAC.

8. Tutoring (1 page max):

Note: Youth Service Providers are required to use the Test for Adult Basic Education (TABE) on ALL youth to assess their literacy and numeracy skills. Youth who score 8.9 and below are considered "basic skills deficient" and should receive tutoring or remedial training to improve their literacy/numeracy skills. OCCTAC currently uses and will continue to use TABE test and TABE testing materials with our WIOA participants to improve their literacy and numeracy skills.

We will also use the electronic version, as required.

I. Describe in detail the tutoring resources that will be provided to youth. OCCTAC has demonstrated commitment in helping WIOA youth with and without disabilities improve their literacy and numeracy skills as evidenced every year with our participants! Every year at least 80% of all participants increase their literacy/numeracy skills! In summary, our WIOA Literacy and Numeracy tutors meet with each participant at least once a week upon the completion of the initial TABE assessment. Our agency's goal is that each youth increases by at least two Educational Functional Levels at time of post-test. OCCTAC tutors provide individualized tutoring sessions every week throughout the year to ensure that our youth will be able to increase both their literacy and numeracy skills to be successful in life. In the past, OCCTAC has been very successful in the attainment of these goals, and thus it will continue to assist all participants with and without disabilities achieve higher educational and academic goals to be successful in their educational and career goals.

Federal handling of criminal complaints and report fraud, abuse and other criminal activity. "All information and complaints involving fraud, abuse or other criminal activity shall be reported directly and immediately to the City of Santa Ana and the Secretary of Labor."
II. General Procedures for Handling Non-Criminal Violations of the Act The following procedure is promulgated to meet the requirements of Title 20, of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 186 through 188 of the WIOA regulations, and Section 181 of the Act (Public Law 105.200: 29 U.S. Code Sec. 2931 et seq.) at the State and LWDA level for the receipt, investigation, hearing, and resolution of complaints by WIOA participants, sub 6 EXHIBITC

recipients, applicants for participation, or financial assistance, labor unions, community based organizations, or any other persons.

These procedures provide for resolution of non-criminal complaints arising from the operation of the Santa Ana LWDA.

A complaint is defined here as a written expression by a party alleging a violation of the Act, regulations promulgated under the Act, recipient grants, sub agreements, or other specific agreements under the Act, including terms and conditions of employment of such participants in employment training programs. All complaints, amendments and withdrawals shall be in writing. These procedures are intended to resolve matters which concern policies, procedures or action(s) arising in connection with WIOA programs operated by each LWDA grant recipient and sub recipient under the Act.

These procedures shall not be construed as affecting any other available legal remedy outside of the WIOA complaint process (i.e., disputes regarding terms and conditions of employment of any employee who is not a participant), either separately or simultaneously, that a person may wish to pursue in the resolution of a non-WIOA complaint. Also, these procedures do not restrict the LWDA grant recipient staff in carrying out informal discussion Procedures do not restrict the LWDA grant recipient staff in carrying out informal discussion and resolution of any problems outside of and without resort to the formal complaint procedure.

A. The following principles and rules apply to all complaints at all steps of the complaint procedures:

1. All complaints must be made in writing within 180 days of the alleged occurrence, except complaints alleging fraud or criminal activity.

2. All persons filing a complaint shall be free from restraint, coercion, reprisal, or discrimination. Good faith efforts shall be made to informally resolve the complaint prior to the scheduled hearing. Complainants have the right to withdraw their complaints (in writing) at any time prior to the hearing. A complainant may amend his/her complaint to correct technical deficiencies but not to add issues.

3. Complainants shall have the right to be represented at their own expense by person(s) of their choosing at all levels of the complaint process.

4. Upon enrollment into employment or training, participants shall be provided with a written description of these procedures, including notification of their right to file complaints and instructions for filing.

An employer of participants, including private-for-profit employers of participants, may use this or other complaint resolution procedures so long as the participant is informed of the complaint resolution procedure they are to follow and the time frames governing review of complaints are met.
7 EXHIBITC
EXHIBIT 1

City Council
15 –
78 6/16/2026

A "participant", within the meaning of these procedures, is an individual who receives employment-training services under a program funded by Santa Ana LWDA. The Complaint Resolution Procedures contained herein (or the alternative procedures which an employer may use) shall be available to participants to resolve disputes regarding items and conditions of employment of such participants in employment training programs. However, such procedures shall not be used to resolve disputes regarding terms and conditions of employment of any employee who is not a participant, as defined herein.

5. If a complaint does not receive a decision at the LWDA grant recipient level within 60 days of filing the complaint or receives an unsatisfactory decision, the complainant then has a right to request a review of the complaint by the Governor.

6. Complainants must initially file and exhaust L WDA grant recipient/hearing procedures prior to appealing to the State except where the State determines that the LWDA grant recipient's procedures are not in compliance with the State's procedures.

Ill. Procedures for Handling Complaints at the LWDA Level A. Receipt Complaints
Pursuant to the WIOA regulations found at 20 CFR, Section 683.600, the LWDA administrative entities have the responsibility to conduct hearings and resolve complaints made by individuals about the administration of programs in the LWDA. "LWDA level" encompasses LWDA administrative entity and employers to which the administrative entity has delegated the complaint resolution process. The following comprise the guidelines for resolving issues arising in connection with WIOA programs operated by the Santa Ana LWDA including resolutions of complaints arising from actions, such as audit disallowances or the imposition of sanctions taken by the Governor with respect to audit findings, investigations or monitoring reports.

1. Form and Filing of Compliant
Official filing date of the compliant is the date the written complaint is received. The filing of the complaint with the Santa Ana LWDA Equal Employment Opportunity Officer shall be considered as a request for hearing and a decision must be issued within 60 days.

The complaint must be in writing and must be signed and dated. The complaint should also contain the following information:
a. Full name, telephone number, if any, and mailing address of the complainant; b. Full name, telephone number, and mailing address of the agency involved (respondent); c. Clear and concise statement of facts including dates constituting alleged violation; d.

City Council
15 –

e. Remedy sought by the complainant; and
f. If the complainant is a private or public entity or corporation, and not a natural person, the filing of the complaint must be duly authorized by the governing body of such entity or corporation.

The absence of any of the requested information shall not be a basis for dismissing the complaint.

A copy of the complaint must be sent to the respondent and both parties notified of the opportunity for an informal resolution. At each step of the complaint process, the complainant must be notified in writing of the next procedural step.

2. Informal Conference
Informal conferences will be utilized by the Santa Ana LWDA to resolve complaints; however, such informal conferences shall not extend the time within which a decision must be issued after receipt of a complaint. Attempts at informal resolution will commence with two (2) weeks of the date of filing of the complaint. a. The EEO Officer will review the case and ascertain facts prior to the conference so that appropriate resolution can take place at the time of this meeting whenever possible. b. Although the complainant should be encouraged to attend this conference, his/her failure to do so should not preclude his/her right to request a hearing on the matter. c. If mutually satisfactory resolution results and the Santa Ana LWDA concurs, the EEO Officer will write a brief report for the file stating the issues and resolution. The matter shall then be considered closed.
d. If resolution does not result, the complainant shall be provided the necessary information and assistance to request a hearing if he/she so desires.

3. Request for Hearing
a. As in the case of the complaint, the request for a hearing should be put in writing and be filed in person or by mail. A governing board resolution of authorization to appeal should also be submitted when appropriate. The request should be filled with:

City Council

b. A hearing will be scheduled by the EEO Officer within thirty (30) days of the date of filing of the complaint.

4. Notice of Hearing
Upon receipt of the request for hearing, the complainant and the respondent will be notified in writing of the hearing ten (10) calendar days prior to the date of the hearing.

The ten-day notice may be shortened with the written consent of the parties. A decision will be issued by the Santa Ana LWDA within sixty (60) days of the date of filing of the complaint.

The hearing notice shall be in writing and contain the following information:
a. The date of notice, name of the complainant, and the name of the party against whom the complaint is filed.
b. The date, time and place of hearing before an impartial hearing officer. c. A statement(s) of the alleged violation(s)
d. Advise as to where information or assistance may be obtained, and the name, address, and telephone number of the Santa Ana LWDA Equal Employment Opportunities (EEO) Officer who can answer inquiries.

B. Conduct of Hearing
The hearing shall be conducted in an informal manner with strict rules of evidence not applicable. Unnecessary technicalities should be avoided. It should provide the flexibility to enable adjustment to the circumstances presented.

1. The hearing officer shall have complete independence to obtain facts and make decisions. The hearing officer shall be in a position to render impartial decisions and thus should not be subordinate to the Santa Ana LWDA or its sub recipients. The hearing officer will be selected from a list of names on file with the EEO Officer.

2. Full regard must be given to the requirements of due process to insure a fair and impartial hearing.

3. The hearing office designated by the EEO Officer to function in a quasi-judicial capacity should begin the hearing by summarizing the record and the issue and should explain the manner in which the hearing will be conducted, making sure that everyone involved understands the proceedings. Such explanations should be adapted to the needs of the specific situation. The hearing officer might take testimony under oath or affirmation to give some assurance of veracity to the hearing.
10 EXHIBITC
EXHIBIT 1

City Council
15 –
81 6/16/2026

4. The burden of proof should be reasonable and flexible, dependent upon the circumstances of the case involved. The hearing officer determines the order of proof.

Generally, the party making the complaint has the obligation of establishing his or her case and should be examined first.

5. The party involved should have the right to be represented (at their own expense) if he/she so desires. Other he/she is limited to his/her own abilities and those to the hearing officer in obtaining testimony in the case.

6. It is important that the hearing officer obtain the fullest information for the record. If the parties involved, or their representatives, do not know how to ask the right or pertinent questions in pursuing their right to due process, it shall be necessary for the hearing officer to step in to have all the materials and relevant facts elicited.

7. The practice in informal hearings is generally not to apply strict rules of evidence in obtaining facts. However, the quantity of evidence required to support a decision on an issue should be sufficiently credible that the state (or other appropriate agency), upon reviewing the decision, would conclude that the decision is supported by substantial evidence.

8. The hearing officer should attempt to negotiate a resolution of the issue at any time prior to the conclusion of the hearing.

9. Within ten (10) days of the conclusion of the hearing, the hearing officer will issue a recommended decision to the LWDA for final determination. The recommended decision shall be in writing and may be accepted, rejected or modified by the Santa Ana Workforce Development Board.

C. Issuance of Decision
Within sixty (60) calendar days of filing of the complaint, the Santa Ana LWDA shall issue a written decision to all parties by first class mail. The final decision shall contain the following information:

1. The name of the parties involved.

2. A statement of the alleged violation and issues related to the alleged violation.

3. A statement of the facts.

4. The decision and the reasons for the decision.

5. A statement of corrective action, if any, to be taken.

6. Notice of the right to request, within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the decision, a review of the decision by the State Review Panel.

EXHIBIT 1

City Council
15 –

D. Record of Hearing
An administrative file containing support documents on the complaint resolution process hearing conducted will be retained by the Santa Ana LWDA. The purpose of a record is to serve as substantiation of the process followed by the Santa Ana LWDA on the resolution of the issues and the results. This information would then be available for subsequent review in the event the matter is raised with the State. Such records must be retained for a three­ year period after the grant has been officially closed out.

The Santa Ana LWDA's written decision will be included in the record. Evidence received at the hearing, notes by the hearing officer, stenographer's notes and tape recordings may also be used.

E. Establishment of Complaint Procedures
In accordance with Section 683.600, each employing agency including private-for-profit employers of participants under the Act is required to establish a complaint procedure for resolving matters relating to the terms and conditions of employment. Employers may operate their own grievance system or may utilize the Santa Ana LWIDA's established procedures under Section 683.600. At a minimum these procedures must include:

1. Written notice, upon enrollment into employment training services, of the scope and availability of such procedures. Employer's grievance procedures shall be set forth in a written document and must meet the regulation mandate that a complaint will be resolved with sixty (60) days from the date the complaint was filed. A copy of employer's grievance procedure shall be provided to each participant upon enrollment in employment training.

2. Written notice, at the time the grievance is filed, of the procedures under which the grievance will be processed.

3. Written notification of the disposition of the grievance and a written decision shall be issued within thirty (30) days of the filing of the grievance unless a present and long established grievance specifically provides other limits; and

4. Written notification of the participant's right to request a review of the employer's decision by the Santa Ana LWDA and the State Review Panel in accordance with Section 683.600.

IV. Procedures for Handling Complaints at the State Level Section 181 (c) of the Act and the WIOA regulations at 20 CFR, Section 683.600 (d) requires the Governor to establish a State Review process of complaints filed at the LWDA grant recipient level and of complaints initially filed at the State level.

Appeals of decisions issued at the LWDA level including audit disallowances and sanctions shall be reviewed by the State Review Panel. The State Review Panel shall review the record 12 EXHIBITC
