Staff Report

TOPIC: Milestone Camera Software License

AGENDA TITLE
Purchase Order to Convergint Technologies LLC for Milestone Camera Software License (Specification No. 26-081) (General Fund)

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize a Purchase Order to Convergint Technologies LLC for Milestone Camera Software License for a five-year period from July 21, 2026 through July 20, 2031, in an amount not to exceed $158,957.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No

DISCUSSION
On December 2, 2025, City Council approved an agreement with Convergint Technologies LLC (“Convergint”) to provide video surveillance system upgrade and the Customer Support Program for the citywide security camera infrastructure. Convergint has completed the Citywide Initial Assessment and has identified 648 existing cameras that require support licenses.

The City’s camera network operates on a proprietary Milestone platform and the current licenses expired in May. Staff recommends that the same vendor that manages the City’s infrastructure and holds the necessary administrative access, technical knowledge, and manufacturer authorization also purchase, install, and maintain the video management software. Bringing in a different reseller to manage the video management software would not provide a functional alternative because the integrator (Convergint) would still be required to perform all configuration, troubleshooting, and cybersecurity work, resulting in duplicative costs, fragmented accountability, and increased risk of system downtime.

Maintaining Convergint as the single responsible vendor preserves system integrity and security by keeping all system updates, licensing, and technical support under one qualified provider.

Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 2-807(d), authorizes the City to purchase against contracts from any public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. Sourcewell, a cooperative government purchasing agency, awarded a contract to Convergint

Technologies LLC (Agreement No. 121042-CTL) as a result of open, competitive bidding on behalf of its members, which includes government agencies.

Staff researched available procurement options, and determined that Convergint Technologies LLC meets the City’s specifications and can provide the Milestone camera license renewal to be utilized by the Santa Ana Police Department/Homeland Security Division. By leveraging the procurement power through cooperative purchasing, the City of Santa Ana is able to obtain nationally vetted, high quality products at competitive volume pricing, and is in accordance with the City’s existing Purchasing Guidelines. Staff recommends awarding a purchase order to Convergint for 648 Milestone licenses for a five-year period.

ANNUAL MILITARY EQUIPMENT REPORT

Page 1 ends

Background
On September 30, 2021, the California Legislature enacted Assembly Bill (AB) 481. The legislation intended to increase transparency and community involvement in a local law enforcement agency’s purchase and use of military equipment, as defined in California Government Code Section 7070. In addition to section 7070, AB 481 created California Government Code Sections 7071 and 7072.

California Government Code Section 7071 requires a law enforcement agency to obtain the governing body's approval by an ordinance adopting a military equipment use policy at a regular meeting of the governing body. On May 3, 2022, at the regularly scheduled City Council meeting, the Santa Ana Police Department presented our Military Equipment Policy (Policy 707) to the Council and Community. At the May 17, 2022, City Council Meeting, the Council adopted the ordinance by a vote of 4 to 2 (1 member absent).

Beginning on May 8, 2022, the Police Department began tracking its use of defined military equipment to generate an Annual Military Equipment Use Report. The information in this report is intended to inform our community about why and how we used the designated military equipment entrusted to us. This report includes data from May 1, 2025, to April 30, 2026.

Summary of Equipment Use
During the time frame of this report, defined military equipment was deployed to field-based incidents thirty-six (36) times and to community events eleven (11) times. Of the thirty-six deployments, twenty-one (21) involved the Department’s Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team, where specific criteria had to be met before the SWAT Team was activated/utilized.

Each of the thirty-six field deployments involved incidents where the defined equipment provided the community and our officers with a higher level of safety than would have been possible had the equipment not been utilized. For example, during each incident, the suspect(s) were believed to be either armed, in a position of tactical advantage, or both. The chart below illustrates the types of defined equipment deployed during the reporting period, along with the frequency of deployment for each piece of equipment. While a total of thirty-six incidents required the deployment of defined equipment, several required multiple pieces of equipment, which is why the total indicated in the chart exceeds thirty-six.

In addition to the deployments described above, the Terradyne A rmored Rescue Vehicle and SWAT Team members are frequently requested to attend community events. During this reporting period, the Terradyne was requested and present at eleven (11) community events.

Summary of Outcomes
During this reporting period, subjects were detained and/or arrested in nineteen (19) of the thirty-six (36) incidents. Nine (9) incidents resulted in officers being unable to locate the subject of the investigation. Of the nineteen incidents where subjects were detained or arrested, seven (7) involved officers using specified equipment as a less-lethal force option to de-escalate the situation and effect the arrest. None of the incidents involving the deployment of specified equipment resulted in an officer-involved shooting or other fatality.

Summary of Complaints
The Santa Ana Police Department received two community complaints directly related to the use of defined military equipment during this reporting period.

Annual Equipment Evaluation
The Police Department reviews all military equipment annually to ensure the equipment’s retention, use, and future potential acquisitions comply with Government Code § 7070, which states the equipment must meet the following criteria:

1. The military equipment is necessary because there are no reasonable alternatives that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety. The Department reaffirmed the military equipment listed in this report, and Department Policy 707 is necessary, and there are no reasonable alternatives that can achieve the same objective. Any identified alternatives also meet the legislative criteria for military equipment.

2. The Military Equipment Policy (#707) safeguards the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties. The Department’s Military Equipment Policy was reviewed by the Director of the Police Oversight Commission and subsequently revised on May 14, 2026. The revisions resulted in a more refined document that provided greater clarity to department personnel and the public.

3. The equipment is reasonably cost-effective compared with available alternatives that achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety. Except for Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs), there are no reasonable alternatives to the equipment listed in this report and in Department Policy 707. Before engaging in the procurement process for the UASs, the Department conducted a cost analysis comparing the UASs with the Orange County Sheriff’s helicopter contract. That analysis determined that using UASs over three years will result in 61% savings compared with a helicopter.

4. Prior military equipment uses complied with the military equipment use policy that was in effect at the time. During this reporting period, the Department determined there were no sustained violations of the Military Equipment Policy. However, as noted above, the Department received two complaints regarding the use of military equipment. One investigation revealed department personnel did not violate policy. The second complaint is currently under investigation, with litigation pending.

Internal Audits
The Santa Ana Police Department is conservative in its use of defined military equipment and employs multiple layers of approval based on the circumstances of each incident. The first layer of

City Council
18 –
7 7/21/2026

ANNUAL MILITARY EQUIPMENT REPORT

Page 4 ends

approval rests with an on-scene supervisor. The second layer of approval must come from the Watch Commander. Any SWAT-specific defined equipment must be approved by either the SWAT Commander or the Assistant SWAT Commander.

Following deployment of the defined equipment, incidents are reviewed to evaluate the appropriateness of the equipment used.

Fiscal Impact
New Purchases
During this reporting period, the Department requested and was approved to purchase Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs), commonly known as drones. While there were no expenditures on the UASs during this reporting period, the total costs for the UASs, docking stations, and data over three years will be $682,900.

Annual Maintenance
Vehicles and equipment have ongoing maintenance costs, detailed in the equipment inventory section below. Weapons platforms typically require annual inspections to ensure they are operationally ready for deployment. The annual maintenance costs for weapon systems and vehicles are worst- case estimates of the costs when a weapon platform or vehicle requires repair. Typically, weapons platforms and vehicles do not require repair beyond routine maintenance, which is estimated at $51,890.

If a piece of defined equipment requires repair, the funds are allocated from the Police Department’s annual budget.

Training Costs
The Police Department trains its personnel in the use of specified equipment during the normal course and scope of their employment. The training is incorporated into bi-annual, department-wide training, resulting in no additional personnel costs. Additionally, SWAT Team members receive monthly training on SWAT training days. Again, this is part of a regularly scheduled training day for the SWAT Team members, at no additional cost to the Department or community.

While the Department's internal training incurs no additional expenditure, department trainers must attend POST-approved instructor-level courses to meet the California Police Officers Standards and Training (POST) guidelines. The required courses are: Patrol Rifle Instructor, Less-Lethal Instructor, Chemical Agent Instructor, and Diversionary Device Instructor. During this reporting period, the Department sent two members to Chemical Agent Instructor, four to Less-Lethal Instructor, and one to Diversionary Device Instructor. The total cost of the training was $4,218.

TOPIC: Direction Regarding the Proposed Orange County Coordinated Reentry Center at the Former Youth Guidance Center Site in Santa Ana

AGENDA TITLE
Direction Regarding the Proposed Orange County Coordinated Reentry Center at the Former Youth Guidance Center Site in Santa Ana

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Direct the City Manager to draft a resolution formally opposing the proposed Orange County Coordinated Reentry Center at the former Youth Guidance Center site located in the City of Santa Ana.

2. Direct the City Manager to communicate the City's opposition to the Orange County Board of Supervisors, Orange County Executive Officer, and other appropriate agencies, and to advocate for the identification and evaluation of alternative locations elsewhere in Orange County.

3. Direct the City Attorney to evaluate and report to the City Council regarding any legal remedies available to the City related to the proposed project, including, but not limited to, applicable land use regulations, procedural requirements, and any other potential legal or administrative actions.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No

DISCUSSION
The County of Orange is proposing to redevelop the former Youth Guidance Center property, located in the City of Santa Ana, into a Coordinated Reentry Center intended to provide a range of services for justice-involved individuals transitioning back into the community. According to County documents, the project has evolved from earlier facility planning efforts and has received preliminary funding through the County's Capital Improvement Program.

During the Orange County Board of Supervisors' Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget hearings, County staff indicated that approximately $21.6 million has been allocated toward the project, with approximately $2.4 million already expended for planning and design.

County staff further stated that the overall project cost could exceed $60 million as additional phases are implemented.

In light of this approval and subsequent public discourse, the Mayor consulted with the City Manager to place this item on the City Council Meeting Agenda. Although Orange County officials have stated that the project has not yet received final Board approval and will require future discretionary action before construction proceeds, the City has significant concerns regarding both the proposed location and the public process surrounding the project.

Community Concerns
Residents have expressed concerns regarding the proposed location, the concentration of regional facilities within Santa Ana, potential impacts on surrounding neighborhoods, and the adequacy of community outreach conducted by the County. During the County's budget hearing, Supervisor Vicente Sarmiento similarly expressed concerns regarding the public engagement process and requested that the County delay the project, conduct additional stakeholder outreach, and evaluate alternative sites throughout Orange County.

The City recognizes the importance of providing services to individuals reentering the community following incarceration and supports regional efforts to improve housing stability, behavioral health services, workforce development, and recidivism reduction.

However, the City believes these important regional services should be planned through a transparent, collaborative process that equitably distributes countywide facilities among Orange County jurisdictions.

Need for Formal City Position
To date, City officials have expressed concerns regarding the project through correspondence and public statements by City Manager Nuñez, Mayor Valerie Amezcua, Councilmember Jessie Lopez, and Councilmember Phil Bacerra. Other local elected officials representing Santa Ana have weighed in through letters of opposition to the County, including Congressman Lou Correa, State Senator Tom Umberg, and Assemblymember Avelino Valencia. (Exhibits 1 through 6) The County, in response, sent the City of Santa Ana two formal letters asking to meet with City officials from former Interim County Executive Officer (CEO) Michelle Aguirre and current Interim CEO KC Roestenberg. The letters were sent the day before budget discussions, and after the County subsequently approved funding for the project. (Exhibits 7 and 8)

The County CEO's correspondence and request to meet appear to provide the City with limited opportunity to meaningfully participate in the evaluation of alternative locations for the proposed Coordinated Reentry Center or other potential uses for the property at 3030 Hesperian Way.

The City's concern is that the County's communications reflect an apparent commitment to proceeding with the proposed Santa Ana location, rather than engaging in an open and collaborative process that genuinely considers alternative sites or project options.

Consequently, the City believes the proposed discussions may not constitute meaningful consultation or afford the City an adequate opportunity to influence the County's decision-making process.

Given the continued advancement of County planning efforts despite the City’s representatives voicing concerns, it is appropriate for the City Council to formally establish the City's position through official Council action.

Formal opposition would clearly communicate the City's concerns to County decision- makers while requesting that the County identify alternative locations and conduct meaningful public engagement before any further project approvals are considered.

RE: Opposition to Coordinated Reentry Center Proposed for Santa Ana Honorable Chair and Members of the Board:

I write to respectfully join Supervisor Sarmiento in opposing the County's proposal to develop a Coordinated Reentry Center at the former Youth Guidance Center site.

I would first like to thank Supervisor Vicente Sarmiento for his leadership and advocacy regarding the proposed Coordinated Reentry Center in Santa Ana. As the only member of the Board of Supervisors to publicly oppose the project at its current location, Supervisor Sarmiento has demonstrated a commitment to listening to residents, engaging stakeholders, and ensuring that community concerns are given the consideration they deserve. His call for additional outreach and evaluation of alternative locations reflects the thoughtful and transparent process that this issue warrants.

I want to be clear that my opposition is not to reentry services themselves. Individuals returning to our communities require access to support systems, rehabilitation programs, housing assistance, employment services, and opportunities for successful reintegration.

These investments are important and can have meaningful positive impacts for both participants and the broader community.

However, the question before the County is not whether reentry services should exist. The question is whether Santa Ana should once again be selected as the location for another countywide facility despite longstanding concerns regarding the concentration of regional services within our city.

Santa Ana has consistently stepped forward to help address Orange County's most pressing challenges. Our city serves as the County Seat and hosts numerous governmental, social service, behavioral health, and public safety facilities that serve residents from across the region. In addition, Santa Ana has invested significant local resources into housing, homelessness response, outreach services, and programs designed to improve quality of life for some of our most vulnerable residents.

These efforts reflect our community's values of compassion, service, and inclusion. Yet true regional partnership requires that responsibility be shared equitably among all Orange County communities.

Many residents have expressed concern that decisions regarding this project have moved forward without sufficient community engagement or a transparent evaluation of alternative sites. Regardless of one's position on the proposed facility, I believe residents deserve a meaningful opportunity to participate in decisions that will affect their neighborhoods and quality of life for decades to come.

For these reasons, I respectfully urge the Board of Supervisors to suspend further advancement of the proposed Coordinated Reentry Center at the former Youth Guidance Center site and undertake a transparent, countywide review of alternative locations. Such a process should include robust public outreach, objective evaluation criteria, and meaningful collaboration with local stakeholders.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

I write to express my strong opposition to the County of Orange's proposal to develop a Coordinated Reentry Center at the former Youth Guidance Center site in Santa Ana.

As a Santa Ana City Councilmember, I have heard directly from residents, neighborhood leaders, business owners, and community stakeholders who are deeply concerned about the County's continued effort to advance this project despite no recognizable outreach by the County and despite significant local opposition. Their concerns deserve to be heard and respected.

Let me be clear: this opposition is not rooted in a lack of compassion for individuals seeking to successfully reenter society. Reentry services are an important component of rehabilitation, public safety, and long-term community stability. Rather, the issue before us is whether this is an appropriate location given its proximity to residents and whether Santa Ana should once again be asked to be the location of yet another countywide facility while other communities are not being asked to share in that responsibility.

Santa Ana has served as Orange County's seat of government since our County’s incorporation and has continuously hosted its civic center since William Spurgeon donated land to the County for that purpose. Our community is already the location for a significant concentration of county facilities, social services, behavioral health programs, correctional infrastructure, and homeless services that serve residents from throughout the region. In addition, our City invests tens of millions of dollars annually of our City funds to address homelessness, public safety concerns, housing instability, and quality-of-life issues that affect not only our residents, but Orange County as a whole.

Our residents are proud of Santa Ana's tradition of service and leadership. However, leadership should not be confused with an expectation that our community must continue to shoulder a disproportionate share of the County's most impactful facilities and programs.

Opposition to Proposed Coordinated Reentry Center at the Former Youth Guidance Center Site in Santa Ana

Page 2 ends

The concerns raised by residents extend beyond the proposed use itself. Many have expressed frustration with a process they believe has lacked meaningful community engagement and a transparent and serious evaluation of alternative locations. Before committing additional public resources to this project, the County should undertake a countywide search for and evaluation of alternative sites and conduct robust outreach with all affected communities.

I urge the Board of Supervisors to not move forward with the proposed Coordinated Reentry Center at the former Youth Guidance Center site in Santa Ana and work collaboratively with local stakeholders to identify a more appropriate location elsewhere in Orange County.

Our residents deserve a meaningful voice in decisions that affect their neighborhoods and their quality of life. They also deserve to know that regional responsibilities are being shared throughout Orange County rather than concentrated in a single community.

Thank you for your consideration of this important matter.

Sincerely,

Phil Bacerra

RE: Regarding the Proposed Coordinated Reentry Center and Ongoing Discussions with the City of Santa Ana
Honorable Chair and Members of the Board:

I am writing regarding the County's proposed Coordinated Reentry Center and the ongoing discussions surrounding its proposed location at the former Youth Guidance Center site in the City of Santa Ana.

I support investments in reentry services and programs that help individuals successfully transition back into their communities. These services play an important role in improving public safety, reducing recidivism, and helping individuals rebuild their lives.

At the same time, projects of this scale are most successful when they are developed through a collaborative process that includes meaningful engagement with local stakeholders and broad community support. I have heard concerns from the City of Santa Ana, residents, neighborhood leaders, and local businesses, regarding the proposed location. These concerns deserve thoughtful consideration as the County moves forward.

Santa Ana has long partnered with the County in addressing regional challenges and continues to host a significant share of countywide public service infrastructure. The City's willingness to serve as a regional partner has benefited residents throughout Orange County, and maintaining a strong working relationship between the County and the City remains important.

I encourage the County to continue working closely with the City of Santa Ana and community stakeholders to address concerns, build consensus, and ensure this important project moves forward with the support necessary for its long-term success.

Through a transparent and collaborative process, I am confident we can identify a path EXHIBIT 5

RE: Opposition to Proposed Coordinated Reentry Center in Santa Ana Honorable Chair and Members of the Board:

I write in opposition to the County’s proposal to develop a Coordinated Reentry Center at the former Youth Guidance Center site in Santa Ana. I am particularly concerned about the County’s lack of engagement with the affected community members and the decision to move forward without their feedback.

While I support investments in reentry services and programs that help individuals successfully transition into their communities, the location of such facilities must be determined through a transparent process that includes robust community engagement, careful evaluation of alternative sites, and consideration of the cumulative impacts borne by host communit ies. The concerns raised by the City of Santa Ana, its residents, neighborhood leaders, local businesses, and community stakeholders deserve serious consideration. The County should not move forward with a project of this magnitude without broad community suppo rt, meaningful stakeholder engagement, and a transparent evaluation of alternative locations throughout Orange County.

Santa Ana has a history of hosting a significant concentration of regional facilities, including correctional, behavioral health, social service, and homeless services infrastructure and has repeatedly demonstrated its willingness to partner in addressing countywide challenges. The question before the County is not whether reentry services are needed, but how to ensure the responsibility is shared equitably within the region.

I respectfully urge the Board of Supervisors to suspend further advancement of the proposed Coordinated Reentry Center at the former Youth Guidance Center site and conduct a comprehensive evaluation of alternative locations throughout Orange County.

Thank you for your consideration of this request.
