ten) of the scheduled regular meetings of the Planning Commission during this reporting period; however, these absences do not yet meet the threshold of failing to attend at least one-half of the regular meetings within a calendar year.

Only two of the six boards/commissions have full membership, as follows:
- Planning Commission (includes one holdover appointee) - Police Oversight Commission (includes one holdover appointee) The other four boards/commissions have at least one vacancy, as follows:
- Community Development Commission: 2 vacancies (Ward 2, Section 8 Tenant Seat)
- Measure X Oversight Committee: 1 vacancy (Ward 2)
- Personnel Board: 1 vacancy (Ward 1) and 1 holdover appointee (Ward 6) - Rental Housing Board: 2 vacancies (Ward Nos. 4 and 5) The Rental Housing Board only had two or three appointed members for this reporting period due to vacancies and resignations, leaving them unable to have quorum to meet and conduct business. Two subsequent appointments were made in July and August allowing the Board to hold meetings each month since that time.

As part of the budget adoption process for Fiscal Year 2026/27, City Council approved the dissolution of five boards and commissions. As those boards and commissions were officially dissolved upon the adoption of Ordinance No. NS-3097, they are not included in this biannual report.

TOPIC: Local Agency Biennial Notice re. Conflict of Interest Code

AGENDA TITLE
2026 Local Agency Biennial Notice Regarding Conflict of Interest Code

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive and file the Fair Political Practices Commission 2026 Local Agency Biennial Notice advising that the City's Conflict of Interest Code is currently under review.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No

DISCUSSION
At the June 16, 2026 City Council meeting, City Council directed the City Manager and City Clerk to have the City’s Conflict of Interest Code reviewed. The Political Reform Act requires local agencies to file a biennial notice with the code reviewing body, the City Council, no later than October 1, 2026, advising whether any amendments to the City’s Conflict of Interest Code are necessary.

The code is currently under review to determine whether any amendments are necessary to include new positions, revise titles of existing positions, delete titles of positions that have been abolished and/or positions that no longer make or participate in the making of government decisions, and/or to revise disclosure categories. Following the receipt and filing of the 2026 Biennial Notice, staff will provide sufficient notice of any required revisions and present the revised code for City Council consideration and approval no later than December 31, 2026.

The City adopted its first Conflict of Interest Code in 1976, with the various offices, agencies, and departments of the City of Santa Ana maintaining Conflict of Interest Codes pursuant to the Political Reform Act since that time, with the most recent amendment completed in November 2024.

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

1. Receive and file the Orange County Grand Jury's report titled “PFAS and Public Awareness: A Closer Look at Orange County Drinking Water;” and

2. Approve the City's response to Findings F2, F4, F6, and F8 and Recommendations R2, R4, and R5; and

3. Authorize the City Manager to submit the response to the Presiding Judge of the Orange County Superior Court in accordance with California Penal Code Sections 933 and 933.05.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No

DISCUSSION
In June 2026, the Orange County Grand Jury (OCGJ) issued a report entitled, “PFAS and Public Awareness: A Closer Look at Orange County Drinking Water” (Exhibit 1).

The report evaluates the presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in Orange County drinking water, PFAS monitoring and treatment efforts, applicable state and federal regulatory requirements, the progress of treatment facility planning and implementation, and public education. The report includes eight findings and six recommendations intended to strengthen PFAS monitoring, reporting, treatment, and public outreach by Orange County water agencies.

The City of Santa Ana is the sole water purveyor serving Santa Ana residents and businesses and relies primarily on local groundwater from the Orange County Groundwater Basin. For more than a decade, the City has monitored PFAS through the City Council 8 – 1 9/15/2026

United States Environmental Protection Agency's Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR) programs, including UCMR 3 and UCMR 5, and through multiple monitoring orders issued by the California State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water. The City also works closely with the Orange County Water District (OCWD) to advance PFAS treatment projects to maintain the reliability and quality of the City’s groundwater supply.

The City has taken significant steps to monitor PFAS, protect its water supply, and preserve the availability of local groundwater. The City completed its first PFAS treatment facility at Well 40 in May 2023. Treatment projects for Wells 31, 38, 27, and 28 are under construction, with additional centralized treatment projects being advanced or planned at the John Garthe and Walnut Reservoir sites. The City also provides PFAS information and project updates through its annual Water Quality Reports, dedicated Water Quality webpage, and project-specific community outreach.

In accordance with California Penal Code Sections 933 and 933.05, the City is required to respond to applicable findings and recommendations contained in the OCGJ report.

Of the eight findings and six recommendations, the City is required to respond to four findings (F2, F4, F6, and F8) and three recommendations (R2, R4, and R5). The City’s proposed response addresses each required finding and recommendation based on the City’s existing monitoring, treatment, regulatory compliance, and public outreach efforts (Exhibit 2). The required findings and recommendations, along with a summary of the City’s responses, are provided below.

Findings
• F2 - PFAS is widespread and contamination has been detected in Orange County groundwater sources. Community water systems are required to report PFAS monitoring results in their annual Consumer Confidence Reports.

City Response – The City agrees that PFAS is present in portions of the Orange County Groundwater Basin, including groundwater sources serving the City. The City has monitored PFAS for more than a decade through UCMR 3, UCMR 5, and multiple monitoring orders issued by the California Division of Drinking Water. Applicable PFAS monitoring results are reported through the City’s annual Water Quality Report, with additional information available through the City’s Water Quality webpage.
• F4 - OCWD has taken a proactive leadership role in addressing PFAS in the Orange County Groundwater Basin, though PFAS treatment implementation varies across local cities and water districts.

City Response – The City agrees that OCWD has provided regional leadership, City Council 8 – 2 9/15/2026
Orange County Grand Jury's Investigative Report Titled “PFAS and Public Awareness:

A Closer Look at Orange County Drinking Water” dated June 6, 2026 September 15, 2026

monitoring support, treatment planning, and financial assistance to local groundwater producers. The City has worked closely with OCWD to advance PFAS treatment projects, including the operational Well 40 treatment facility and treatment projects currently under construction or being planned. Differences in treatment schedules among water agencies reflect variations in well conditions, site constraints, treatment capacities, permitting requirements, and construction needs.
• F6 - Orange County drinking water meets or exceeds state and federal standards and is safe for consumption without additional home filtration.

City Response – The City agrees that Orange County drinking water meets applicable state and federal standards and is safe for consumption without household filtration. The City continues to monitor its water sources and distribution system in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. • F8 - There are limited online PFAS education and outreach programs among Orange County water retailers. Most retailers rely on OCWD for PFAS education and outreach. PFAS advisories were included in approximately 55% of the Orange County water retailers' annual water quality reports in 2025.

City Response – The City agrees that PFAS outreach practices vary among Orange County water retailers, but disagrees to the extent the finding suggests that Santa Ana has limited online PFAS education or relies primarily on OCWD for PFAS outreach. The City maintains a dedicated Water Quality webpage (https://santa-ana.gov/water-quality/), provides PFAS information in its annual Water Quality Reports, and conducts project-specific community outreach regarding its PFAS treatment program.

Recommendations

SUMMARY
Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) form a broad class of thousands of synthetic chemicals characterized by strong carbon–fluorine bonds and are among the most durable compounds in organic chemistry. This bond strength makes PFAS highly resistant to breaking down, allowing them to persist in the environment for decades or longer. Because of this persistence, PFAS are often called “forever chemicals.” Various industries have used PFAS in consumer and commercial applications since the 1940s because their chemical properties provide water, oil, and stain resistance, as well as heat stability. These properties support applications across numerous sectors, including aerospace, automotive, textiles, firefighting foams, food packaging, electronics, and medical devices. As a result of their widespread use and persistence, PFAS now appear globally in water, air, soil, wildlife, and human blood.

Scientific studies continue to show associations between PFAS exposure and harmful health effects in humans and animals, although the degree of risk varies by compound.

In response, federal and state agencies, including the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), began accelerating regulatory actions in the 2010s to reduce PFAS exposure, enhance monitoring, and develop treatment and disposal methods.

This report identifies and describes PFAS levels detected by Orange County drinking water agencies. It evaluates how these agencies have responded to recent PFAS regulatory requirements. It also examines the progress of PFAS treatment facility planning and installation, along with implementation of public education programs related to PFAS in drinking water. This report’s findings and recommendations aim to strengthen PFAS reporting in annual Water Quality Reports (Consumer Confidence Reports) and expand public outreach by Orange County drinking water agencies.

BACKGROUND
PFAS are a large group of man-made "forever chemicals" produced since the 1940s, known for extreme persistence, environmental mobility, and bioaccumulation due to strong carbon-fluorine bonds.1 Used in water/stain-resistant coatings, firefighting foams, industrial processes, PFAS have contaminated soil, water, and air globally. 1 Elsie M. Sunderland, et al., “A review of the pathways of human exposure to poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and present understanding of health effects,” Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology, November 23, 2018, accessed March 16, 2026, https://sunderlandlab.org/assets/sunderland_jeseerev_2018wsi.pdf.

Contaminated drinking water has led to high levels of exposure to PFOA, PFOS, and other PFAS2 for some populations residing near manufacturing facilities. Workers in facilities that make or use PFAS can be exposed to higher amounts of these chemicals and have higher levels in their blood.3 Infants may be exposed to PFAS through breastfeeding.4
Figure 1 - Potential Major Exposure Pathways of PFAS to Humans5 PFAS, especially PFOA and PFOS, have been detected in air, water, and soil in and around manufacturing facilities. However, these releases have been declining since companies began phasing out the production and use of several PFAS in the early 2000s.6 Due to their chemical structure, PFAS are very stable in the environment and are resistant to breaking down. Some PFAS are volatile and can be carried long distances through the air, which may lead to contamination of soils and groundwater far from the source of the PFAS emission.7
The four major sources of PFAS are: fire training/fire response sites, industrial sites, landfills, and wastewater treatment plants/biosolids. PFAS can get into drinking water when products containing them are used or spilled onto the ground or into lakes and rivers. Once in groundwater, PFAS are easily transported long distances and can 2 Kyle Steenland, Tony Fletcher, and David A.

contaminate drinking wells. PFAS in the air can also end up in rivers and lakes used for drinking water.8
PFAS have been used extensively in surface coating and protectant formulations due to their unique ability to repel oil, grease, and water. Major applications have included protectants for paper and cardboard packaging products, carpets, leather products, and textiles that enhance water, grease, and soil repellency, and in firefighting foams. PFAS have also been used as processing aids in the manufacture of nonstick coatings on cookware. Common consumer products containing PFAS include Teflon, Gore-Tex and Scotchgard.9
Background Summary of PFAS and Its Effects
Source and Exposure: Primary sources include industrial sites, firefighting training, landfills, and wastewater treatment plants. They enter drinking water, food, and indoor dust, resulting in widespread human exposure.

Health and Environmental Impact: PFAS are associated with adverse effects, including cancer (i.e. testicular, kidney), developmental delays, liver damage, and high cholesterol. They do not break down easily, leading to "background" contamination even in remote areas.10
Regulation and Action: While major US manufacturing of certain PFAS ended around 2015, they remain in products and in the environment. The EPA has established Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for drinking water.11 "Forever Chemicals" Definition: Their chemical structure, featuring one of the strongest bonds in organic chemistry, makes them resistant to heat, water, and oil, thus earning them the nickname "forever chemicals.”12
In Orange County, PFAS have been detected in the Orange County Groundwater Basin, which provides 77% to 85% of the drinking water for north and central parts of the county. Local agencies have taken a proactive stance, shutting down dozens of impacted wells and building some of the nation's largest treatment facilities to ensure tap water meets safety standards.13

REASON FOR STUDY
Recent regulatory actions related to PFAS have created significant operational, financial, and communication challenges for drinking water agencies across California.

Orange County agencies face an intensifying timeline due to the region’s reliance on groundwater supplies, the presence of PFAS in local aquifers, and the need to comply with evolving state and federal standards. As regulatory and monitoring requirements expand, agencies must rapidly adapt their treatment strategies, capital planning, and public outreach efforts.

This study is necessary to provide a clear, up-to-date understanding of how Orange County drinking water agencies are responding to these new requirements. Evaluating the status of PFAS treatment planning and installation helps illustrate the extent of infrastructure readiness, the pace of implementation, and the challenges agencies encounter as they work to bring new systems online. At the same time, assessing the development and delivery of PFAS-related education programs offers insight into how effectively agencies are communicating risks, regulatory changes, and water quality information to the public.

By documenting current conditions and identifying gaps or emerging needs, the study supports informed decision-making among water providers, policymakers, and ratepayers. This work helps ensure that Orange County communities receive safe drinking water and that agencies are equipped to meet regulatory expectations while maintaining public trust.

METHOD OF STUDY
The Orange County Grand Jury investigated the PFAS in Orange County drinking water to provide a clear and accurate assessment. The Grand Jury based its study on a comprehensive review of multiple sources, including interviews, public records, field investigations, and relevant news articles. Multiple independent sources corroborated and validated all facts, findings, and recommendations presented in the report.  Interviewed several Orange County governmental leaders and senior staff directly involved in managing drinking water quality
 Reviewed and analyzed key documents related to the investigation, including:
o Published Water Quality reports from all Orange County water retailers o Records from all Orange County water agencies
 Examined news articles and publications relevant to the topic.  Conducted extensive internet research.

 Performed field investigations in which Grand Jury members visited several water management agencies to directly observe and assess drinking water processes.

INVESTIGATION AND ANALYSIS
The 2025-2026 Orange County Grand Jury investigated the presence of PFAS in Orange County drinking water and the response of Orange County community water systems. Community water systems (CWS) are city, county, regulated utilities, regional water systems and even small water companies and districts where people live. Noncommunity water systems14 provide drinking water to the public at locations where people do not reside permanently. The investigation included evaluation of Orange County CWS compliance with federal and state PFAS monitoring and reporting requirements and the extent of the voluntary response to PFAS contamination. The Grand Jury also evaluated annual Consumer Confidence Reports, also called Annual Water Quality Reports, which are issued annually by CWS and distributed to their customers.

Orange County Drinking Water Systems
The Grand Jury investigation was limited to community water systems (CWS) operated by cities or special districts that are regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act . 15 CWS are defined as public water systems that serve at least 15 service connections used by yearlong residents, or regularly serve at least 25 yearlong residents of the area served by the system.16 In Orange County, there are 31 such CWS that are operated by cities or special districts and that sell drinking water directly to customers on a retail basis. In this report, these Orange County CWS may be referred to as retail water districts or water retailers.

Drinking Water Sources
North and Central Orange County
Orange County is divided into two distinct areas when it comes to drinking water sources. There are 2.5 million residents of north and central Orange County, who receive about 85% of their drinking water supplies from the Orange County Groundwater Basin, and the remaining 15% of their water supplies are imported from 14 “California Code, Health and Safety Code - HSC § 116275,” FindLaw, accessed May 21,2026, https://codes.findlaw.com/ca/health-and-safety-code/hsc-sect-116275/. 15 “Summary of the Safe Drinking Water Act,” EPA, describing statutory authority at 42 U.S.C. § 300f et seq., accessed My 21, 2026, https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/summary-safe-drinking-water-act. 16 “California Code, Health and Safety Code - HSC § 116275,” FindLaw.

the State Water Project and Colorado River delivered by Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC).17
South Orange County
Approximately 600,000 residents of south Orange County rely primarily on imported water supplies delivered by MWDOC, and a few south County communities also have groundwater supplies from the San Juan Basin and surface water supplies from Irvine Lake (also referred to as the Santiago Reservoir).18
Public Supply Wells
According to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) as of November 2024,19 there were a total of 217 public supply wells for drinking water in Orange County. Of the 217 total wells, 211 were CWS wells and six were non-community water system wells. See Figure 2 for a Department of Water Resources map of Orange County groundwater public supply wells. This map illustrates the reliance of north and central Orange County on groundwater sources, and the reliance of south Orange County on imported water supplies.

What are PFAS?
PFAS are a large group of many thousands of manufactured chemicals that are resistant to heat, oil, and water. Among the many thousands of different PFAS, some have been more widely used and studied than others.21 PFAS have been used extensively in surface coating and protectant formulations due to their unique ability to reduce the surface tension of liquids, and their ability to repel oil, grease, water, and staining. Major applications have included use as processing aids in the manufacture of nonstick coatings on cookware, surface protectants for paper and cardboard such as disposable food packaging, microwave popcorn bags, pizza boxes, and candy wrappers. Other surface protectants include those used on furniture and carpets, 21 “PFAS Explained,” EPA.

leather products, outdoor gear, and textiles.22 PFAS are also one of the main components of aqueous film forming foams (AFFF) used frequently at airports and military bases for firefighting and emergency response training activities.23 It is important to note that PFAS-containing firefighting foams and other emergency response materials containing PFAS are no longer in use at Orange County airports and harbors.24
PFOA and PFOS are two types of PFAS of particular concern that are no longer manufactured or imported into the US. Trace amounts of PFOA and PFOS may still be contained in some imported goods and in other PFAS goods and materials that are still produced and used in the US.25 Under the PFOA Stewardship Program with the EPA, eight major PFAS producers have phased out PFOA and other PFAS substances from their emissions and products; however, manufacturers are replacing substances in the PFAS family with others such as GenX and ADONA.26
Understanding the PFAS Cycle: How PFAS Moves Through the Environment PFAS move through the environment in a repeating cycle through air, water, soil, products, animals, and humans. This is known as the PFAS cycle. This cycle can be described in four stages and is illustrated at Figure 5.27 Manufacturing and use. The PFAS cycle begins during manufacturing or everyday use of PFAS-containing consumer and industrial products. During manufacture and use, PFAS are released into the air, water, and soil. As more PFAS are manufactured and used, the more they accumulate because they are persistent and resistant to degradation.

Environmental spread. After PFAS are released to the environment, they move through wind, snowfall, rain, and runoff to soil and surface water, and infiltration to groundwater. Industrial sites and wastewater treatment plants are key entry points 22 “Our Current Understanding of the Human Health and Environmental Risks of PFAS,” EPA, Accessed May 21, 2026, https://www.epa.gov/pfas/our-current-understanding-human-health-and-environmentalrisks-pfas. 23 Sunderland. “A review of the pathways of human exposure.” 24 “SB-1044 Compliance: Phasing Out PFAS in Class B Firefighting Foam,” CAL FIRE, accessed April 17, 2026, https://osfm.fire.ca.gov/what-we-do/pipeline-safety-and-cupa/fire-fighting-equipment-and-foampfas. 25 “PFAS – Frequently Asked Questions,” California State Water Resources Control Board Division of Water Quality (SWRCB), 5, [3] 3M Company, “Fluorochemical use, distribution and release overview.,” AR226-0550, 1999, updated March 19, 2020, accessed March 25, 2026, https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/pfas/docs/master_pfas_faq_mar.pdf. 26 “Risk Management for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) under TSCA,” EPA, accessed May 21, 2026, https://www.epa.gov/assessing-and-managing-chemicals-under-tsca/risk-management-andpolyfluoroalkyl-substances-pfas. 27 “Understanding the PFAS Cycle,” EcoPulse, accessed April 13, 2026, https://www.ecopulsenow.com/insights/understanding-the-pfas-cycle.

into the environment. PFAS are absorbed from the environment by plants and animals, and then move up the food chain.

Human exposure. Most people are exposed to PFAS through using PFAScontaminated products, drinking contaminated water, and eating contaminated food such as fish caught from water contaminated by PFAS, and dairy products from livestock exposed to PFAS.28 The US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) estimated that in NHANES 2017–2018 data 98% of the US population had combined PFAS serum levels greater than 2 nanograms per milliliter.29
Re-entry. Even after disposal of PFAS products, PFAS can re-enter the environment through landfill leachate or runoff to soils, agricultural spreading of biosolids, and municipal wastewater treatment effluent discharges to surface water, resulting in PFAS cycling back into soil, animal feed crops, and water.

of PFAS contamination for public water systems downstream of these wastewater treatment plants.30 The OCWD Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS) actively manages and recharges the Orange County groundwater basin with surface water from the Santa Ana River, imported surface water, and purified recycled water from the GWRS. For much of the year, flow in the Santa Ana River consists predominantly of effluent from municipal wastewater treatment plants upstream from the Orange County groundwater basin.31 Figure 6 illustrates these upstream wastewater discharges to the Santa Ana River.32 PFAS has recently been measured in the Santa Ana River at concentrations consistent with wells surrounding the recharge facilities, suggesting that historic concentrations of PFAS in the Santa Ana River may be a primary input of PFAS in the Orange County groundwater basin.33

aged 12 years and older since 1999, indicating widespread exposure to PFAS in the US population.35
Researchers at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) are participating in the CDC Multi-site Study (MSS).36 The MSS provides information to communities about the health effects of exposure to PFAS. The UCI MSS site is the area in Orange County, shown at Figure 7.

At the July 2025 MSS update, the
UCI researchers shared results
showing average levels of certain
PFAS chemicals in the blood of
adults who participated at the
Orange County study site. They
compared Orange County results
with other study locations and with
national averages. For adults at the
Orange County site, the average
blood levels were estimated to be

2.4 for PFOS, 1.2 for PFOA, 1.3 for
PFHxS, and 0.27 for PFNA
(measured in nanograms per
milliliter, ng/L) These levels were
lower than the averages seen
across all study sites. In addition, all
of these levels, except PFHxS, were
lower than the average levels found
in the general U.S. population. See
Figure 8 for the UCI MSS chart of
Average PFAS Levels in Blood.

Figure 8 - Average PFAS Levels in Blood, CDC Multi-site Study Virtual Open House, July 2025
Because of the phasing out of certain PFAS compounds, serum levels of PFOA and PFOS in the general population of the US have decreased dramatically in recent years.

According to the CDC, blood levels of both PFOS and PFOA have steadily decreased in US residents since 1999-2000.38
The half-life of PFAS in the human body is defined as the time required for the PFAS concentrations in serum or plasma to fall by half from the starting concentration.39 Thirteen studies conducted mainly in Europe and the US involving both general populations and exposed workers resulted in half-life estimates for PFOA of 2.73 years (range: 1.48 to 5.1 years), 4.70 years for PFOS (range: 1.69 to 5.7 years), and 5.31 years for PFHxS (range: 2.84 to 8.5 years).40 Based on that information, with no additional exposure, it could be anticipated that PFAS may be cleared from the body after an average of five years. However, PFAS exposures continue in general 38 “Per- and Polyfluoralkyl Substances (PFAS) and Your Health, Fast Facts: PFAS in the U.S. Population,” CDC, ATSDR, https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/pfas/data-research/facts-stats/index.html. 39 Isabella Rosato, et al. “Estimation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) half-lives in human studies: a systematic review and meta-analysis,” Environmental Research, Volume 242, February 1, 2024, 117743, accessed April 13, 2026,

populations primarily through food and water despite production phase outs and regulatory interventions.

How Are People Exposed to PFAS?
There is general agreement that dietary intake is the largest source of PFAS exposure rather than inhalation or dermal contact.41 Direct exposures due to use in products can be quickly phased out by production phaseouts but exposures driven by PFAS accumulation in the environment, food chains, and contamination of groundwater and drinking water persist because of the continuing PFAS cycle. Human exposures to PFOS and PFOA, the two PFAS that are of greatest regulatory concern, have been declining due to regulatory interventions while understanding of their adverse effects on human health has been rapidly advancing. At the same time, a proliferation of new PFASs has rapidly replaced PFOS and PFOA with shorter chain length PFASs and new chemicals that are difficult to detect using standard methods.42 Emerging evidence from animal experiments suggests some of these alternative PFASs can be equally hazardous.43

PFAS Exposure and Excretion
Exposure happens when a person breathes, eats, drinks, or touches a chemical and it enters their body. Excretion is the process whereby substances, like PFAS, leave the body. All PFAS can leave the body over time through urine, through menstrual blood or blood donation, or through breast milk. All of these factors could affect PFAS levels measured in blood.45 While PFAS blood test results can tell you the amount of certain PFAS in your blood, the test results will not provide information to pinpoint a health problem and will not predict future health outcomes. You can talk with your healthcare provider about the benefits and limitations of PFAS blood testing.46 44 “PFAS Explained,” EPA, 2, March 11, 2026, https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2023-10/finalvirtual-pfas-explainer-508.pdf. 45 “Per- and Polyfluoralkyl Substances (PFAS) and Your Health, Preventing PFAS Exposure,” CDC, ATSDR, accessed April 16, 2026, https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/pfas/prevent-exposure/your-body.html. 46 “Per- and Polyfluoralkyl Substances (PFAS) and Your Health, Testing for PFAS,” CDC, ATSDR, accessed April 17, 2026, https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/pfas/blood-testing/index.html.

What are the Health Effects of Exposure?
Exposure to unsafe levels of PFOA/PFOS may result in adverse health effects including developmental effects to fetuses during pregnancy, cancer, liver effects, immune effects, thyroid effects, and other effects such as cholesterol changes.47 Laboratory studies in animals who were exposed to PFAS found links between the chemicals and increased cholesterol, changes in the body’s hormones, alterations of the immunologic system, decreased fertility, increased risk of cancer (especially kidney and testicular), low birth weight, delayed puberty onset, and birth defects. Since humans and animals react differently to PFAS, not all effects observed in animals may occur in humans. Although many epidemiology studies have examined the potential of PFAS to result in adverse health effects, most of the studies are cross-sectional in design and do not establish causality. Based on several factors outlined in the report of PFAS by the CDC including the consistency of findings across studies, the available epidemiology studies suggest associations between PFAS exposure and several health outcomes in humans.48

PFAS Regulatory Requirements
Public drinking water systems are required to follow certain regulations to ensure that the water they serve to their customers is safe to drink.50 In recent years, specific regulations have been issued to address PFAS contamination that require monitoring and taking actions when PFAS is detected in drinking water sources. The following sections present PFAS regulations in the order they were issued by the EPA and California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB).

PFAS Monitoring Requirements
Monitoring refers to the collection and evaluation of data for contaminants that are suspected of being present in water. Samples are collected and analyzed according to EPA-approved laboratory methods. Monitoring results are reported to either the EPA or SWRCB. This data serves as a primary source of occurrence and exposure information used to develop regulatory decisions.

OCWD conducts all sampling and analyses and reporting of monitoring results to regulatory agencies on behalf of its member agencies. OCWD owns and operates its 49 “PFAS Explained,” EPA, 1, accessed March 11, 2026,

own EPA-certified laboratory where it can use analytical methods approved by the EPA.

MWDOC member agencies conduct monitoring activities using either their own staff or contractors to collect samples, which are delivered to EPA-certified laboratories for analyses. Laboratories report the results of their analyses to each MWDOC water retailer, who then reports the results to either the EPA or SWRCB.

EPA Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule
EPA uses the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR) to collect data every five years for no more than 30 priority contaminants that are suspected to be present in drinking water and do not have health-based standards set under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA).51 The UCMR applies to all large public water systems (PWSs) serving greater than 10,000 people, all small PWSs serving between 3,300 and 10,000 people, and a representative sample of small PWSs serving fewer than 3,300 people.

EPA establishes the list of contaminants for each five-year UCMR cycle, considering an initial list of contaminants that are not regulated by the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations, are known or anticipated to occur at PWSs, and may warrant regulation under the SDWA.52
The SDWA Public Notification Rule ensures that consumers will receive notice if there is a risk to public health from their drinking water. The Public Notification Rule requires that all PWSs notify their customers of the availability of UCMR results no later than 12- months after results are known. CWS are required to report UCMR results in their Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) when unregulated contaminants are detected. The annual drinking water quality report must include notice of availability of unregulated contaminant monitoring results, the average of the year’s results and the range of detections.53
The Grand Jury obtained UCMR monitoring data for all sampling and analyses conducted to fulfill UCMR requirements for its member agencies. The highest PFAS detections for all OCWD sources during the UCMR 3 and UCMR 5 monitoring cycles are shown at Figure 11.

Figure 11 - Highest PFAS Detections Among All OCWD Sources During UCMR 3 and UCMR 5 Monitoring Cycles
California State Water Resources Control Board PFAS General Monitoring Orders Beginning in 2020, the SWRCB Division of Drinking Water, based on review of monitoring results from its 2019 PFAS monitoring orders, determined that it was necessary to expand monitoring to groundwater sources located within the vicinity of the PFAS detections. Several PFAS general monitoring orders were issued to PWSs 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2025 that included Orange County groundwater well locations.54 Each of the SWRCB PFAS monitoring orders included requirements for sample collection and laboratory analysis by specific dates, to be followed by monitoring conducted every calendar quarter thereafter.55 These PFAS monitoring orders established Consumer Confidence Report Detection Levels (CCRDL), and Notification and Response Levels for each PFAS chemical to be monitored. A list of the SWRCB PFAS monitoring orders and exhibits identifying groundwater sources required to be monitored are shown at Appendix A, as well as copies of the CCRDL for each monitoring order.

The Grand Jury obtained monitoring data for all sampling and analyses conducted to fulfill SWRCB monitoring order requirements for sources listed in the monitoring orders that are owned by their member agencies. The highest PFAS detections for all these OCWD sources are shown at Figure 12.

2025 SWRCB General Order DW 2025-0002-DDW
The 2025 SWRCB General Order, issued on December 12, 2025, adopted the initial monitoring requirements in the federal PFAS Rule for each California CWS and nontransient, non-community water system. The 2025 SWRCB Order allows previously acquired data to count toward initial monitoring if collected on or after January 1, 2019, and reported concentrations no greater than the respective MCL.56 The 2025 SWRCB General Order also included a list of Orange County groundwater sources showing that 151 of the 198 listed sources had completed initial monitoring as required by the federal PFAS Rule.57
PFAS Notification and Response Requirements
Notification and response levels are health-based advisory levels established by the SWRCB Division of Drinking Water (DDW) for chemicals in drinking water that do not have established MCLs.

When chemicals are found in drinking water at concentrations greater than their notification levels, PWSs are required by law to make specific notifications.

chemicals are found in drinking water at concentrations greater than their response levels, DDW recommends removal of a drinking water source from service.58 PFAS notification and response levels specified in CCRDLs attached to SWRCB general monitoring orders remain in effect until MCLs are established and become effective. For example, MCLs for specific PFAS will become effective in 2029, and at that time will supersede notification and response levels specified the 2022 CCRDL.

PFAS National Primary Drinking Water Regulation
In April 2024 EPA announced the final National Primary Drinking Water Regulation for six PFAS (the federal PFAS Rule).59 The PFAS Rule applies to all CWS. The EPA expects that over many years this rule will prevent PFAS exposure in drinking for approximately 100 million people, prevent thousands of deaths, and reduce tens of thousands of serious PFAs-attributable illnesses.60
The PFAS Rule establishes initial monitoring and compliance monitoring requirements, and enforceable maximum contaminant levels (MCL) for six PFAS in drinking water.

Initial monitoring for six listed PFAS must be implemented beginning April 2024 and must be completed no later than April 26, 2027. Compliance monitoring requirements beginning April 26, 2027, will be either triennial, annual, or quarterly as determined by the SWRCB based on results of the initial monitoring.

Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) is the highest level of a contaminant allowed in drinking water. EPA has established legally enforceable MCLs of 4.0 parts per trillion (ppt) for PFOA and PFOS, and 10.0 ppt for PFHxS, PFNA, and HFPO-DA (GenX chemicals). Figure 13 shows the MCLs and MCLG effective April 26, 2029.

Ensuring compliance with drinking water MCLs for the PFAS of most concern is the reason over $600 million (see Figure 17) is being spent to construct PFAS treatment facilities in Orange County.

Figure 13 - PFAS Rule Enforceable Maximum Contaminant Levels and Maximum Contaminant Level Goals61
In addition to ongoing compliance monitoring and MCLs, the PFAS Rule also includes additional requirements with future effective dates. Between April 2027 and April 2029, if monitoring shows that drinking water levels exceed MCLs, CWS must implement solutions that reduce these PFAS; results of initial monitoring must be included in the CCR; results of compliance monitoring must be included in the CCR; and public notification is required for monitoring and testing violations. Starting April 2029, CWS that have MCL violations must take action to reduce levels of these PFAS in their drinking water, and public notification is required for MCL violations.

Compliance with Regulatory Requirements
Consumer Confidence Reports
The Grand Jury reviewed the 2025 Consumer Confidence Reports (Water Quality Reports) issued by 31 water retailers serving Orange County. The CCR is to be delivered to all billing customers by July 1 of each year and must include specified information. All 31 water retailers complied with the eight content requirements specified by the EPA, shown in Appendix B.62 Seven of the 11 water retailers operating PFAS 61 “PFAS National Primary Drinking Water Regulation, April 2024,” EPA, accessed May 12, 2026, https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2024-04/pfas-npdwr_fact-sheet_general_4.9.24v1.pdf. 62 “Consumer Confidence Report Rule: A Quick Reference Guide,” EPA, accessed April 18, 2026, https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2014-05/documents/guide_qrg_ccr_2011.pdf.

PFAS and Public Awareness

Page 28 of 62 ends

treatment facilities in Orange County included a PFAS advisory section in their CCRs, while only 55 percent of the 31 water retailers included any PFAS advisory statement.

The Grand Jury found that the 31 Orange County water retailers reported either “not detected” results or concentrations below notification thresholds for the six PFAS listed in the EPA PFAS Rule on their 2025 CCRs. After PFAS treatment facilities became operational, OCWD member retailers operating these facilities consistently reported “not detected” results for the same six PFAS. The Grand Jury found that PFAS results from individual wells do not necessarily reflect the quality of water delivered to customers, as some tested wells were later placed into inactive status or destroyed. CCRs documented PFAS constituents exceeding notification levels as required and did not report “not detected” results for those constituents. Monitoring results and CCRs are available in the Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS), California’s official database for tracking public water systems, drinking water quality monitoring, regulatory compliance, and enforcement.63
Notification and Response
As of 2020, drinking water retailers with PFAS detections above notification and response levels at wells without PFAS treatment facilities began to rely on imported water, or groundwater blended with imported water to deliver drinking water with PFAS concentrations below notification and response levels. As of 2021, multiple water retailers in Orange County shut down groundwater wells after PFAS concentrations at those wells exceeded established response levels.64
PFAS Rule Initial Monitoring
When the 2025 SWRCB General Order adopting the PFAS National Primary Drinking Water Regulation was issued in December 2025, 76% of listed Orange County groundwater sources had already completed initial monitoring required to be completed by April 2027. Most of the remaining Orange County sources received credit for previously acquired data, leaving only 6% with all requirements to be completed by April 2027.

Proactive Response to PFAS Impacts
PFAS Impacts and OCWD Response
OCWD coordinated a regional response to PFAS contamination in partnership with its member agencies. These efforts focus on restoring the groundwater basin, which supplies up to 85 percent of the water used by approximately 2.5 million residents in north and central Orange County. A timeline of OCWD response to PFAS in the Orange County Groundwater Basin is shown in Figure 14. As PFAS-impacted groundwater wells began to be shut down in early 2020, public education became a critical component of community water systems’ response. OCWD dedicated resources to public outreach, including the development of informational web pages to inform the public about PFAS impacts and the measures being implemented to address them.65 Source: Compiled from multiple OCWD sources
Figure 14 - Timeline of OCWD Response to PFAS in the Santa Ana River Basin PFAS contamination has impacted more than 100 groundwater wells across 15 water retailers. As of this report, 53 wells have returned to service following construction of treatment facilities. Figure 15 shows a map of current and future PFAS treatment locations in Orange County.

Figure 16 - Approximate PFAS Capital Funding Sources
Figure 17 summarizes PFAS treatment facilities by water retailer, opening date, treatment technology, capacity, location, connections, number of wells, and capital costs. Facilities began entering service in mid-2021, starting with a treatment plant in Fullerton, with additional facilities becoming operational over time. Most facilities use ion exchange technology. Capital costs vary based on the number of affected wells, conveyance pipeline requirements, and treatment facility configuration.

OCWD is funding the reasonable costs of designing and constructing PFAS treatment facilities for its member water retailers. Each retailer could either have OCWD design and build the treatment facility or receive reimbursement for designing and constructing the treatment system independently. As of this report, 38 wells with PFAS treatment were built by OCWD and fifteen wells with PFAS treatment were designed and built by the water retailers.

Eighteen wells with PFAS treatment construction projects by OCWD have been completed on schedule. Ten wells with PFAS treatment projects, which were built by OCWD, were completed on schedule; however, OCWD experienced cost overruns due to specialized design requirements or owner-requested improvements. An additional 10 wells with PFAS treatment projects that were done by OCWD were completed late and over budget, primarily due to pandemic-related material delays, design complexity, owner-requested improvements, and utility coordination challenges.

Operations and Maintenance Costs
Under the PFAS Treatment Facilities and Program Agreement, OCWD reimburses 50 percent of eligible operations and maintenance (O&M) costs incurred by participating water agencies. Eligible O&M costs include treatment media replacement, power and chemical costs, routine maintenance, repairs, staffing, compliance monitoring, regulatory compliance activities, additional pumping, waste disposal, sewer costs, and other necessary system maintenance expenses.

Actual PFAS treatment expenses (see Figure 18), which can be found in Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports (ACFRs),66 varied primarily due to construction timing and the performance of ion exchange resin media. Specialized resins are a key element in PFAS treatment and help remove PFAS from water using electrostatics. Construction delays meant some treatment facilities were not operational as expected, resulting in lower O&M costs. In FY22 and FY23, initial resin media lasted longer than anticipated and reduced O&M costs. In contrast, FY25 experienced more resin changeouts than anticipated and higher O&M costs. Resin media life varies by treatment system and operating conditions, such as run time, cycling frequency, and production flow rates.

OCWD is updating resin performance assumptions and changeout frequency estimates to improve future O&M forecasts.

FINDINGS
In accordance with California Penal Code Sections 933 and 933.05, the 2025-2026 Orange County Grand Jury requires (or, as noted, requests) responses from each agency affected by the findings presented in this section. The responses are to be submitted to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court.

Based on its investigation described herein, the 2025-2026 Orange County Grand Jury has arrived at the following six principal findings:

F1 Commercial and industrial chemical manufacturers are a major source of PFAS contamination. Settlement litigation funds are available for community water systems to make claims.

F2 PFAS is widespread, and contamination has been detected in Orange County groundwater sources. Community water systems are required to report PFAS monitoring results in their annual Consumer Confidence Reports.

F3 PFAS exposure is associated with potential adverse human health effects.

F4 OCWD has taken a proactive leadership role in addressing PFAS in the Orange County Groundwater Basin, though PFAS treatment implementation varies across local cities and water districts.

F5 Groundwater supplies must either be treated to remove PFAS or must be replaced with imported water supplies that are significantly more expensive than groundwater. Over $500 million is being spent on construction, operations, and maintenance of PFAS treatment facilities in Orange County.

F6 Orange County drinking water meets or exceeds state and federal standards and is safe for consumption without additional home filtration.

F7 Research on newer PFAS compounds and long-term exposure effects is ongoing.

F8 There are limited online PFAS education and outreach programs among Orange County water retailers. Most retailers rely on OCWD for PFAS education and outreach. PFAS advisories were included in approximately 55% of the Orange County water retailers’ annual water quality reports in 2025.

RECOMMENDATIONS
In accordance with California Penal Code Sections 933 and 933.05, the 2025-2026 Orange County Grand Jury requires (or, as noted, requests) responses from each agency affected by the recommendations presented in this section. The responses are to be submitted to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court.

Based on its investigation described herein, the 2025-2026 Orange County Grand Jury makes the following recommendations:

R1 By September 30, 2026, Orange County Water District (OCWD), in coordination with state and federal agencies, should pursue cost recovery efforts against PFAS manufacturers to offset treatment, monitoring, and long-term remediation costs incurred by local water agencies and ratepayers. [F1, F5] R2 By July 1, 2029, OCWD and its member agencies should monitor PFAS in groundwater and surface water sources and promptly implement PFAS treatment when response levels are exceeded. [F2, F4]
R3 By September 30, 2026, OCWD, in collaboration with the Orange County Health Care Agency, should update public education and guidance continually as scientific understanding and regulatory standards evolve. [F3] R4 By July 1, 2029, all Orange County water retailers should consistently include a PFAS advisory, treatment facilities status, and compliance information in consumer confidence reports and on agency websites, using clear and understandable language for the public. [F2, F8]
R5 By September 30, 2026, OCWD and all Orange County water retailers should enhance coordinated public education efforts to reassure their customers about drinking water safety. [F6, F8]
R6 By September 30, 2026, OCWD should continuously monitor national and international PFAS research developments and incorporate new findings into future groundwater management, treatment planning, and regulatory compliance strategies. [F7]

COMMENDATIONS
Many Orange County water agencies have demonstrated exceptional leadership in addressing PFAS through large-scale treatment investments, rigorous monitoring, and public communication. Together, these agencies serve more than two million residents and have implemented some of the most advanced PFAS treatment systems in the nation. The following commendations recognize high-impact programs and measurable achievements across the region.

Orange County Water District (OCWD)
OCWD has implemented the largest PFAS treatment program in the United States, designing and constructing treatment systems for over 100 impacted wells across 15 cities and retail water districts, improving water quality for approximately 1.5 million people. OCWD secured a $94M EPA Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) loan, $152M in state and federal grant funding, and $131M in PFAS manufacturers litigation settlement funds to support this effort, which includes the build-out of more than 30 PFAS treatment facilities.

The Grand Jury offers additional commendations to OCWD and its member agencies for their collaborative cost-sharing agreement. Under this arrangement, OCWD fully funds all PFAS facility design and construction capital expenditures. Ongoing operations and maintenance costs are then shared equally, with OCWD covering 50% and each participating water retailer contributing the remaining 50% for the PFAS treatment facilities they operate. This approach reflects progressive public-sector planning, demonstrating how agencies can work together to address complex and costly challenges. It also serves as a strong model for future government/private-sector cost-sharing agreements, illustrating how thoughtful collaboration can enhance efficiency and long-term public benefit.

Anaheim Water Utility
Anaheim has launched one of the largest municipal PFAS treatment programs in the country, a multi-phase, $150M effort to construct treatment systems at nine groundwater sites. The utility serves 64,000 metered customers, historically relying on groundwater for 80% of its supply. PFAS treatment systems for Wells 39 and 47 are among the first in a series of facilities designed to restore local production while meeting stringent state and federal standards.

Yorba Linda Water District (YLWD)
YLWD operates the J. Wayne Miller, Ph.D. Water Treatment Plant, recognized as the nation’s largest PFAS ion-exchange treatment facility. The plant serves approximately 80,000 customers and has delivered PFAS-free water for nearly three consecutive years. This facility allows YLWD to optimize its groundwater resources while proactively meeting evolving PFAS regulatory standards.

The Honorable Sheila F. Hanson
Presiding Judge of the Superior Court
700 Civic Center Drive West
Santa Ana, CA 92701
Dear Judge Hanson,
The City of Santa Ana hereby submits its response to the findings and recommendations in the 2025-2026 Orange County Grand Jury report, “PFAS and Public Awareness: A Closer Look at Orange County Drinking Water.”
The City of Santa Ana (City) thanks the Orange County Grand Jury for the time and effort invested in evaluating PFAS monitoring, regulatory requirements, treatment progress, and public communication throughout Orange County. The City appreciates the Grand Jury's recommendations and remains committed to providing reliable drinking water that meets all applicable state and federal drinking water standards. The City also proactively communicates with the public through its dedicated Water Quality webpage, annual Water Quality Reports, and project-specific community outreach.

The City is the sole water purveyor for Santa Ana residents and businesses and relies primarily on local groundwater from the Orange County Groundwater Basin. As a member agency of the Orange County Water District (OCWD), the City works closely with OCWD, the California State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency to monitor PFAS and implement treatment in accordance with applicable drinking water requirements.

The City completed construction of its first PFAS treatment facility at Well 40 in May 2023, restoring this groundwater source to the City's water system. PFAS treatment projects for Wells 31, 38, 27, and 28 are under construction. The City and OCWD are also advancing centralized treatment at the John Garthe Reservoir for Wells 18, 24, 32, 36, and 39, and the City is planning additional treatment at the Walnut Reservoir.

In accordance with California Penal Code sections 933 and 933.05, below are the City's responses to Findings F2, F4, F6, and F8 and Recommendations R2, R4, and R5.

FINDINGS
F2 - PFAS is widespread, and contamination has been detected in Orange County groundwater sources.

Community water systems are required to report PFAS monitoring results in their annual Consumer Confidence Reports.

RESPONSE: Agree with this Finding
PFAS has been detected in portions of the Orange County Groundwater Basin, including groundwater sources serving the City. For more than a decade, the City has proactively monitored PFAS through the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule programs, including UCMR 3 and UCMR 5, as well as multiple PFAS monitoring orders issued by the California Division of Drinking Water.

The City reports applicable PFAS monitoring results in its annual Water Quality Report, also known as the Consumer Confidence Report, in accordance with state and federal reporting requirements. The City's annual reports also provide customers with updates regarding the status and progress of its PFAS treatment projects, while the City's dedicated Water Quality webpage provides an additional source of current public information.

F4 - OCWD has taken a proactive leadership role in addressing PFAS in the Orange County Groundwater Basin, though PFAS treatment implementation varies across local cities and water districts.

RESPONSE: Agree with this Finding
OCWD has provided regional technical leadership, monitoring support, treatment planning, and financial assistance to local groundwater producers. Implementation schedules vary because each water system has different well conditions, site constraints, treatment capacities, permitting needs, and construction requirements.

Santa Ana has actively advanced a coordinated PFAS treatment program with OCWD. Well 40 is equipped with ion exchange treatment and is in service; treatment projects for Wells 31, 38, 27, and 28 are under construction; and centralized treatment at the John Garthe Reservoir and additional treatment at the Walnut Reservoir are being advanced or planned. These projects are intended to preserve the City's ability to use local groundwater supplies while maintaining compliance with applicable drinking water requirements. The City has paired these infrastructure investments with project-specific community outreach so residents are informed about the purpose, status, anticipated schedule, and community benefits of each PFAS project.

F6 - Orange County drinking water meets or exceeds state and federal standards and is safe for consumption without additional home filtration.

RESPONSE: Agree with this Finding
The City provides drinking water that meets applicable state and federal drinking water standards. Santa Ana routinely monitors its water sources and distribution system and operates its groundwater sources in accordance with California Division of Drinking Water requirements. Additional household filtration is not required for the City's drinking water to meet applicable regulatory standards. The City reinforces this message through its annual Water Quality Reports, dedicated Water Quality webpage, and community outreach regarding its PFAS treatment projects.

F8 - There are limited online PFAS education and outreach programs among Orange County water retailers.

Most retailers rely on OCWD for PFAS education and outreach. PFAS advisories were included in approximately 55% of the Orange County water retailers' annual water quality reports in 2025.

RESPONSE: Disagree Partially with this Finding
The City agrees that PFAS outreach practices vary among Orange County water retailers. However, the City disagrees with the finding to the extent it suggests that Santa Ana has limited online PFAS education or relies primarily on OCWD for PFAS education and outreach. The City maintains a dedicated Water Quality webpage (https://santa-ana.gov/water-quality/) that provides the community with information about PFAS, drinking water quality, monitoring, regulatory compliance, and the City's treatment program. The City also includes PFAS monitoring information and treatment project updates in its annual Water Quality Reports. In addition, the City City Council 8 – 70 9/15/2026

has conducted community outreach for each of its PFAS treatment projects to explain the project purpose, status, anticipated schedule, and benefits to the water system and community. Santa Ana supplements these Cityspecific communications with regional and technical information from OCWD and state and federal regulators.

Together, these efforts reflect the City's proactive, multi-channel approach to PFAS education and outreach and provide Santa Ana customers with City-specific information as treatment projects and regulatory requirements evolve.

RECOMMENDATIONS
R2 - By July 1, 2029, OCWD and its member agencies should monitor PFAS in groundwater and surface water sources and promptly implement PFAS treatment when response levels are exceeded. [F2, F4] RESPONSE: The Recommendation Has Been Implemented
The City monitors its groundwater production wells in accordance with applicable California Division of Drinking Water orders, federal Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule requirements, and the federal PFAS drinking water regulation. The City coordinates with OCWD regarding monitoring within the Orange County Groundwater Basin and Santa Ana River watershed and relies on its imported-water suppliers for monitoring imported surface water sources. When monitoring identifies a condition requiring action, the City restricts use of the affected source as appropriate and implements treatment or other corrective measures in coordination with regulators and OCWD. The City's ongoing treatment program includes the operational Well 40 facility and additional facilities in construction or planning for other City wells. Monitoring, regulatory coordination, and treatment implementation will continue through and beyond July 1, 2029.

R4 - By July 1, 2029, all Orange County water retailers should consistently include a PFAS advisory, treatment facilities status, and compliance information in consumer confidence reports and on agency websites, using clear and understandable language for the public. [F2, F8]
RESPONSE: The Recommendation Has Been Implemented
The City has implemented this recommendation through its annual Water Quality Reports and dedicated Water Quality webpage (https://santa-ana.gov/water-quality/). These resources provide customers with PFAS monitoring and compliance information, drinking water safety information, and updates regarding the status and progress of City PFAS treatment facilities. The City also provides project-specific community outreach so residents receive timely information regarding treatment projects that may affect their neighborhoods. Santa Ana will continue to review and update these materials using clear, understandable language and will coordinate with OCWD and regulatory agencies to keep public information consistent as projects and requirements evolve. The City will continue these updates beyond July 1, 2029.

R5 - By September 30, 2026, OCWD and all Orange County water retailers should enhance coordinated public education efforts to reassure their customers about drinking water safety. [F6, F8] RESPONSE: The Recommendation Has Been Implemented
The City has implemented coordinated PFAS public education through several established channels. Santa Ana maintains a dedicated Water Quality webpage, provides PFAS monitoring and treatment project updates in its annual Water Quality Reports, and conducts community outreach for each of its PFAS treatment projects. These efforts provide customers with Santa Ana-specific information regarding drinking water safety, regulatory compliance, treatment facility status, project schedules, and anticipated community benefits. The City also coordinates with OCWD to align regional safety and technical messages and directs the public to authoritative state and federal resources when additional information is needed. The City will continue enhancing these coordinated efforts through and beyond September 30, 2026, as PFAS projects advance and regulatory requirements evolve.

TOPIC: California State Library Building Forward Grant Interest Revenues

AGENDA TITLE
Appropriation Adjustment for Spendable Fund Balance from California State Library Building Forward Grant Interest Revenues for Main Library and Newhope Library Projects (Project Nos. 22-1380 and 22-1802) (Non-General Fund)

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve an appropriation adjustment recognizing $297,104 in spendable fund balance from California State Library Building Forward Grant Interest for Main Library and Newhope Library Projects in the Public Library Grant, Prior Year Carryforward revenue account and appropriate the funds into the Building Forward Library Grant, Buildings & Building Improvements expenditure account to fund construction expenses. (Requires five affirmative votes)
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No

DISCUSSION
On March 15, 2022, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2022-020, authorizing the submission of a California State Library Building Forward Library Facilities Improvement Program Grant application for the Main Library Transformation Project and subsequent acceptance of grant funds. The Library was awarded $9,329,973 in grant funds for critical maintenance needs and public safety and accessibility improvements such as Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) upgrades, new accessible elevator, marble improvements, Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) replacement, and electrical, mechanical, and plumbing system upgrades.

Similarly, on November 7, 2023, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2023-074, authorizing the submission of a California State Library Building Forward Grant application for the Newhope Library Renovation Project and subsequent acceptance of grant funds. The Library was awarded $1,086,754 in grant funds for critical infrastructure improvements including HVAC replacement, electrical upgrades, plumbing updates, fire protection system improvements, and new storefronts.

City Council 9 – 1 9/15/2026
California State Library Building Forward Grant Interest Revenues September 15, 2026

Page 2 ends

Both grant agreements require that any interest earned on the grant funds held by the grantee be contributed to the projects. As of July 31, 2026, the Main Library grant earned $245,470 in interest, while the Newhope Library grant earned $18,634.

Additionally, the estimated earned interest on the grant funds from August 2026 through grant closeout in October 2026 is $33,000, bringing the total interest earned to $297,104.

Grant funds for the Main Library (received February 2023) and Newhope Library (received February 2024) were deposited during early design phases and well ahead of construction commencement in August 2024 and July 2025, which respectively allowed interest to accumulate on the allocations. Additionally, the Library prioritized spending American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding for both projects before spending grant funds, which further contributed to the available interest balances.

The Library intends to use the interest revenue to offset construction costs for both projects. Utilizing the interest funds will result in cost savings and preservation of local General Fund and Cannabis funds for other Library needs.

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

FISCAL IMPACT
With approval of the recommended appropriation adjustment in the amount of $297,104, the current available spendable fund balance of $264,104 as of July 31, 2026 as well as the estimated earned interest of $33,000 from August 2026-October 2026 will be appropriated for spending in the Building Forward Library Grant, Buildings & Building Improvements expenditure account (15211154-66200). However, total expenditures will not exceed the actual interest earned through grant closeout. Any remaining balances not expended by the end of the fiscal year will be presented to City Council for approval of carryovers to Fiscal Year 2027-28.

Approve the Park Host Agreement and related agreements with Katie Rivero for the Park Host Program (Agreement No. 2026-XXX).

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No

DISCUSSION
On May 16, 2022, the City of Santa Ana established the Thornton Park Host Volunteer Pilot Program through an agreement with Katie Rivero. The program was designed to provide a consistent on-site presence at Carl Thornton Park to support park operations, promote compliance with park rules and regulations, facilitate communication with City staff, and serve as an additional resource for park users.

Under the agreement, the Park Host was authorized to reside at Carl Thornton Park in a recreational vehicle and serve in a volunteer capacity. Responsibilities included submitting daily activity reports to City staff, reporting maintenance concerns through the MySantaAna application, identifying and reporting unusual activity, conducting routine park rounds, and providing information and assistance to park users.

The pilot program was originally scheduled to conclude on May 16, 2024, unless terminated earlier by the City. The City subsequently extended the agreement through December 31, 2025, to continue the Park Host Program and maintain an on-site presence at Carl Thornton Park.

The agreement was subsequently extended through December 31, 2026, and is scheduled to expire at the end of the year. To continue the Park Host Program beyond the current term, City Council approval of a new Park Host Agreement and related documents is required.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
The recommended action is exempt from further environmental analysis pursuant to Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (Class 1 exemption – Existing Facilities). Class 1 exemptions consist of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. The types of “existing facilities” itemized in the CEQA Guidelines (page 307) are not intended to be all-inclusive of the types of projects which might fall within Class 1. The key consideration is whether the project involves negligible or no expansion of use.

The recommended action is to approve a Park Host agreement to occupy an existing structure, served by existing utilities in an urbanized area, which does not result in any new direct, indirect, or foreseeable physical impacts to the environment. The structure meets the qualifications of an “existing facility,” and the recommended action is therefore exempt pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines. A notice of exemption will be filed for the Project.

FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated annual cost to the City for operation of the Park Host Program is $12,524, including approximately $6,000 for utilities (electricity, propane, and water), $3,500 for ongoing maintenance, and $3,024 for golf cart maintenance. Utility and ongoing maintenance costs will be absorbed within the Public Works Agency’s Park Maintenance Utilities budget (AU 01117651-62000) and Maintenance & Repair, Buildings & Ground budget (AU 01117651-62320), while golf cart maintenance costs will be absorbed within the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Agency Rental City Equipment budget (AU 01113230-65010).

AGENDA TITLE
Second Amendment to Agreement with California Forensic Medical Group, Inc. and Wellpath (General Fund)

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute the second amendment to the agreement with California Forensic Medical Group, Inc. and Wellpath to continue providing health care services to inmates and arrestees housed at the Santa Ana Jail and exercise the second one-year renewal option to extend the term through September 30, 2027 in an annual amount of $3,664,243, for a total aggregate amount not to exceed $17,507,799 (Agreement No. A-2026-XXX).

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes

DISCUSSION
California's Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) requires agencies to provide basic and emergency health care services for all incarcerated individuals held within their custody. Current City initiatives addressing quality of life and public nuisances have necessitated an elevated level of care for short-term arrestees.

On September 20, 2022, the City Council approved a three-year agreement with two additional one-year extension options with California Forensic Medical Group, Inc. and Wellpath (CFMG) to provide these services at the Santa Ana Jail after a competitive request for proposals process in a total amount not to exceed $10,070,246. CFMG's services include direct patient care, a sick call program, health assessments, administration of medications, on-site dental services, and mental health care.

On September 16, 2025, the City Council approved the first amendment to the agreement to exercise the first one-year renewal option and increase compensation by an additional $3,773,310. Medical staffing levels were also adjusted to address the increased workload and associated medical concerns while ensuring an appropriate standard of initial care, City Council 11 – 1 9/15/2026
Inmate Health Care Services
September 15, 2026

as the City's enforcement activity in the areas of frontline policing and public nuisances increased. CFMG has proven reliable and flexible through this patient profile evolution.

Throughout the term of this agreement, CFMG has provided exceptional service to the City. Therefore, the department recommends exercising the second and final one-year extension option to renew this agreement from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027 in an annual amount of $3,664,243. The total not-to-exceed amount for this agreement will increase to $17,507,799 inclusive of amounts for services as necessary at the City's sole discretion.

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

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding is available in the current FY 26-27 budget and funding for the subsequent fiscal year will be included in the proposed budget for City Council consideration.

Schedule A
Santa Ana Police Department
The Grantor determined awards and adjustments based on the Project’s merit, operational scale, compliance with the Request for Application (RFA), and program regulations. Certain activities or budget items proposed in Schedule A may have been deemed ineligible for funding. The final, binding list of authorized activities and expenses is set forth in Schedule B - Detailed Budget Estimate.

Project Description
The Santa Ana Police Department does not provide in-house training at this time for DUI related investigations. As part of the field training program, Officers are exposed to DUI related investigations, and they are assigned to a Traffic Unit FTO for two weeks where they focus on DUI investigations.

There is a dire need for more SFST and DRE instructors to assist with training the sworn personnel of the department in the important subject of DUI and DUID investigations. Additional funding to send Officers to these training courses would improve our ability to conduct enforcement.

Traffic Unit, along with our Community Outreach Team, have had educational booths educating citizens on the dangers of driving while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or a combination of both. Community engagement and education will play a critical role in addressing traffic safety concerns. SAPD will have the opportunity to work closely with neighborhood groups, schools, businesses, and local organizations to understand the specific needs of different communities and to develop culturally relevant public education opportunities.

In terms of enforcement efforts, the ultimate goal of the Santa Ana Police Department would be to increase the total number of DUI saturation operations conducted per year. The department is provided with funding to conduct DUI saturation patrol from the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Step grant. While this additional funding has helped the department combat impaired driving, additional allocated funding in this category would help combat the growing issue and trend of impaired driving arrests, ultimately reducing serious fatal traffic collisions.

Problem Statement
The City of Santa Ana, located at the center of Orange County, California, is the seat of the county with a rich history and diverse cultural heritage. The city has a strong economy and attracts tourism from all around to its downtown, concert halls, and other attractions. As of 2024, Santa Ana has a population of approximately 316,184 within 27.52 square miles. The city is home to many ethnic backgrounds including a large Hispanic/Latino population, as well as a significant Vietnamese population. Each day it is estimated the population grows to well over 500,000 people including tourists, employees, and others who travel into the city on a daily basis. Santa Ana is the 3rd most populated city in Orange County, 14th in California, and 65th most populated city in the United States. Santa Ana has a population density of approximately 11,500 to 12,500 people per square mile with a growth rate of approximately 1.6%. It is the 16th most densely populated city in the United States, beating out cities such as Los Angeles, Seattle, and Minneapolis.

With approximately 350 sworn Officers in the city, including Detectives, special details, and command staff, there is approximately 903 residents per Officer within the 27 square miles. However, there are only 10 Motor Officers assigned to conduct routine traffic enforcement across the city on a daily basis. This equates to one Motor Officer per every 31,618 residents and does not include the visitors, patrons, and working force within the city.

The city of Santa Ana faces many transportation safety challenges. Many residents within the city ride bicycles to and from work, as well as scooters, skateboards, and a large number walk on foot. Traffic crashes are routinely one of the most common calls for service responded to by Officers within the city. Many of these traffic crashes involve drivers who are unlicensed and/or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or both. These crashes often result in injuries and even death. Although the city traffic engineering department has made efforts to quell the number of traffic crashes in the city, the large number of impaired drivers circumvent these safety changes and can cause crashes.

In the City of Santa Ana, there were 135 fatal traffic crashes from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2025. Of those fatal crashes, 40 involved alcohol impaired drivers, 43 involved drug impaired drivers, and 3 involved drivers impaired by a combination of both. Drug and/or alcohol impaired drivers were involved in 644 injury involved traffic crashes in those 5 years. The negative effects of impaired driving has struck our community on City Council several occasions and continues to do so. 12 – 11 9/15/2026 Schedule A
A notable example occurred in July of 2020 when the life of an OC Register editor was taken by a drunk driver who was involved in a street race. The driver was found to have a prior DUI conviction and was driving despite suspensions on his license. The driver of the vehicle was convicted in 2022 of felony DUI, DUI with a prior, and murder. The Orange County community mourned the passing of the OC Register editor, and this tragedy is brought up in community meetings regularly. Recently, in April of 2024, a man was driving with his girlfriend at a high rate of speed when he lost control and crashed into a palm tree, killing his girlfriend in the front passenger seat. He was found to be under the influence of drugs and alcohol. In December of 2025, he was convicted for felony DUI, DUI with a prior, and murder. Both families involved in these tragedies have been affected forever as a result of impaired driving.

The Santa Ana Police Department is committed to using all available resources to combat the issue. The City of Santa Ana has made it very clear there is zero tolerance for impaired driving. In 2025, Santa Ana recorded XX fatalities and 2140 injuries resulting from traffic crashes. Of particular concern is the safety of vulnerable road users, as 14 pedestrians were killed with 166 injured and 3 bicyclists were killed with 205 injures. We also saw a rise in motorcyclist injuries with 60 and 2 killed. These numbers do not include the countless crashes that went unreported.

In the last five years, over 2500 arrests and several thousand citizen contacts related to DUI investigations have been made. Unfortunately, a lack of confidence and/or training has led to some DUI drivers being released from crash scenes or traffic stops. The Santa Ana Police Department is committed to providing training to all sworn staff in order to equip them with the knowledge and skillset to recognize, investigate, and ultimately arrest impaired drivers in the city. Currently, there are only 3 SFST instructors and 0 DRE instructors in the Santa Ana Police Department. With the culture of DUI enforcement being changed, ideally these numbers will rise, as well as the number of SFST, ARIDE, and DRE trained Officers.

Through the opportunities to our department through the OTS STEP grant, we are able to continue our efforts toward eliminating impaired driving within our city. Using strategic and selective enforcement, we are able to combat the dangers of impaired driving within the city. The Santa Ana Police Department conducts monthly DUI checkpoints through the OTS STEP grant, and we use the opportunity to educate the community of the risks, as well as the costs, of impaired driving. After 2025, the Santa Ana Police Department traffic unit saw 5 motor officers received the MADD award, as well as 2 officers in patrol. Although the OTS STEP grant has provided us with great opportunities to combat impaired driving, with the assistance of the CHP CTFGP, the Santa Ana Police Department can provide more enforcement and education to continue the fight against impaired driving.

Studies show the issue of impaired driving continues to rise. According to the 2018 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUJ) in 2018, 12.6 million motorists drove under the influence of illicit drugs. After alcohol, Marijuana is the drug most found to be located within the blood of drivers involved in traffic crashes.

THC (Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) can be detected in body fluids for several days, even weeks after usage and is often combined with alcohol. Santa Ana is home to over 30 retail cannabis locations including the one of the largest in the United States. Santa Ana is considered a major hub for the industry in Orange County, as well as all of Southern California. The presence of cannabis in the city is large and the use is overwhelming.

Unfortunately, these businesses bring in revenue and dangerous driving conditions.

The vehicle crash risk associated with Marijuana in combination with alcohol, cocaine, or benzodiazepines appears to be greater than that for each drug by itself. According to the Governors Highway Safety Association, 43.6% of fatally injured drivers in 2016 tested positive for drugs and over half of those drivers tested positive for two or more drugs. Based on data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 2016, among drivers tested in fatal crashes, 44% had used a legal or illicit drug, compared to 38% who tested positive for alcohol. Per TREDS, according to a 2014 study, there were 7,000 new Marijuana users per day. After alcohol, Marijuana was the most commonly detected drug amongst drivers killed in traffic crash in 2016, out of 44% of drivers killed in traffic crashes who tested positive for drugs, 41% had used a strain or Marijuana.

City Council 12 – 12 9/15/2026
Schedule A
Santa Ana Police Department is dedicated to reducing crashes, prevent fatalities, and providing a safer environment for all roadway users. Through targeted enforcement, public education, and invaluable trainings, we are committed to enhancing traffic safety and protecting the community. The funding from this grant would allow us to address critical resource gaps, improve Officer effectiveness, and perform our duties in a proficient way.

Performance Measures/Scope of Work (Proposed Solution)
Ensure 5 sworn Santa Ana Police Department Officers attend SFST and ARIDE by the end of Q4: aim to garner confidence in DUI investigations within patrol and the department as a whole.

Ensure 1 Officer attends DRE training.

Ensure 2 Officers attend SFST instructor school by the end of Q3.: this would allow our Department to better train our own Officers in the realm of DUID enforcement.

Send 6 SFST/ARIDE/DRE trained Officers or Supervisors to the IPTM Traffic Safety Symposium: this conference includes over 20 workshops dedicated to DUI and DUID enforcement to assist Officers in understanding these investigations and the court process following. This conference would be invaluable to the Officers attending and give them knowledge they could disseminate throughout the department.

The Santa Ana Police Department is dedicated to meeting the above listed goals and objects. In or to do so, the department will assign a minimum of 4 DUI Saturation Patrols each month. These patrols will be carried out by a DRE trained officer, if possible, and/or an Officer with SFST/ARIDE training. 48 DUI Saturation Patrols (Q1 = 12, Q2 = 12, Q3 = 12, Q4 = 12): Aim to reduce DUI/DUID deaths/crashes by at least 10%, which will improve roadway safety and protect the community. The reduction of DUI and DUID cases will be reported on a quarterly basis.

Project Performance Evaluation
The Santa Ana Police Department Traffic Unit will keep extensive notes and logs to document and evaluate the project over the duration of the grant period. This will assist in proper record keeping and quality control.

These stats will be monitored and adjusted if needed. Grant activity progress will be reported on a quarterly basis to ensure actions are being taken towards the set goals outlined. Department personnel will assist with providing quantitative measurements regarding the success of the activities. At the conclusion of the grant period, we will create a "Final Evaluation section in the fourth quarter. Using the data gathered we will provide a summary of the grant's accomplishments, challenges, and other significant activities. We would document if the department met, exceeded, or falls short of the objectives outlined. If an objective is not met, an explanation will be provided.

Program Sustainability
The Santa Ana Police Department's main goal is to reduce the number of DUI and DUID drivers on the road in order to foster safety in the community. We have been combating DUI related crashes through near-weekly DUI Saturation patrols funded through the OTS STEP Grant; however, the additional funds provided by the CHP Cannabis grant would allow us to conduct multiple DUI Saturation Patrols on nights with statistically higher DUI/DUID drivers. These funds would allow us to expand our reach and have more Officers in the field at once to saturate the city more thoroughly. The department is motived to utilize these funds in conjunction with funds from the OTS STEP Grant to make a positive impact on the battle against impaired driving in the City of Santa Ana.

The Santa Ana Police Department desires to send more Officers to SFST, ARIDE, and DRE classes in order to enhance the sustainability of DUI enforcement practices. The department only has 1 certified DRE at this time and the funds provided in this grant would assist with getting more Officers trained in advanced DUI subjects, including DRE.

With the uprise in traffic crashes involving DUI and DUID drivers, it is imperative for our Department to place an emphasis on enforcement and education. Due to the increasingly high costs of travel and lodging, the Santa Ana Police Department is limited on how many Officers they can send to trainings and seminars throughout the state.

City Council 12 – 13 9/15/2026
Schedule A
Administrative Support
The grant coordinators with this department have become efficient with meeting the outlined requirements of the OTS STEP grants awarded. Proper use of grant funds is a top priority for the coordinators and the management that oversee all grant related activities. One Officer in the Traffic Unit is assigned to oversee OTS STEP grant with multiple levels of supervision overseeing all final decision making. The coordinator is responsible for all scheduling and statistic tracking; however, the final decision to approve or deny requests for activities or purchases lands on the supervisor(s).

There is an open line of communication with the fiscal representatives of the Santa Ana Police Department.

Within the Traffic Unit, there is one civilian staff member who is in charge of the funding allocation and reimbursement submissions. This person works hand-in-hand with the fiscal department to ensure all work hours are accurate and funds are properly disseminated. Our department leadership has shown great support for the enforcement of DUI and DUID driving. The City Council has made it clear they are aware of the dangers of these actions and support the enforcement of traffic safety laws within the city. This department has the support and the necessary trained personnel to manage such a grant, and we are confident we will excel if we are fortunate enough to receive this funding.

The Traffic Division is currently staffed with 13 motor officers, 1 non-riding Corporal, 2 Sergeants, and 1 commander, as well as a cadre of civilian support staff. Each member of the division is willing and able to commit to the operations set forth by these grant funds. The members are dedicated to the traffic safety in our community.

DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency (PWA) is responsible for managing the City’s roads and transportation network which include arterial, residential, alley, and industrial streets.

The planning and improvements of this network are guided by the City’s General Plan Mobility Element, Active Transportation Plan, and Pavement Management Program.

Together, these plans and programs establish priorities for improving mobility and safety, expanding pedestrian and bicycle connectivity, and maintaining roadway infrastructure through data-driven pavement management. Consistent with these priorities, PWA identified and recommends street and multimodal improvements along Memory Lane and Flower Street (Exhibit 1).

The Memory Lane and Flower Street project limits include roadway segments in poor to fair condition. The Pavement Condition Index (PCI), which evaluates pavement conditions on a scale from 0-100, identifies PCI values of 56 along Flower Street from Memory Lane to Santiago Creek and 62 along Memory Lane from the Santa Ana River to Flower Street. No major rehabilitation has occurred within the project limits since the year 2000. Existing deficiencies include deteriorated pavement, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, driveways, and curb ramps. Additionally, the project area has been the subject of community safety concerns related to speeding, pedestrian crossings, bicycle related collisions, and unlawful driver behaviors.

Since 2017, PWA staff have actively engaged with the Morrison Park and Fisher Park Neighborhood Associations through 15 community meetings to discuss traffic safety concerns, evaluate potential improvements along the project corridor, and to provide updates on the project's design and development. Community feedback received through these meetings helped inform the proposed safety and mobility improvements included in the final project design.

One of the primary safety concerns identified by residents involves the intersection of Memory Lane and Flower Street, where unsafe turning movements and vehicle spinouts, commonly referred to as “donuts,” have been reported. In response, staff developed design features that modify the intersection geometry and reduce the available roadway area to physically constrain and discourage these unsafe vehicle movements. Because the proposed design incorporates unique geometric features, staff worked closely with residents from both neighborhoods throughout the design process. Although initial opinions regarding the proposed improvements varied, staff developed and presented multiple design concepts based on community feedback, ultimately reaching consensus on the design incorporated into the Project.

The Memory Lane and Flower Street Improvements Project (Project No. 23-6037) will improve street pavement through the reconstruction and rehabilitation of roadway pavement (both asphalt and Portland Cement Concrete), repair of concrete infrastructure, landscaping, and irrigation. It will also enhance pedestrian and bicycle City Council 13 – 2 9/15/2026

safety through the installation of bulb-outs and protected bike lanes in both directions of travel. Pedestrian facility improvements will comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.

The project incorporates traffic safety improvements, including modifications to the existing traffic signal at the intersection of Bristol Street and Memory Lane, the installation of rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs) paired with raised crosswalks at the intersections of Memory Lane and Westwood Avenue and at Flower Street and Sharon Road, and upgraded traffic striping and pavement markings to improve roadway visibility and guide all users safely through the corridor. Additionally, the project will install drought-tolerant landscaping and irrigation at island buffers within the corridor.

Once completed, these improvements will enhance overall safety, ride quality, and the visual appearance of the street corridor.

Grant Funding
Given the cost and scale of the proposed improvements, PWA pursued funding through multiple competitive grant programs. Following unsuccessful applications to the Active Transportation Program (ATP) and Bicycle Corridor Improvement Program (BCIP) in 2018, staff submitted a subsequent ATP application on July 14, 2022. On June 28, 2023, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) notified the City that the Project had been selected for funding. The ATP award provides funding for environmental, design, and construction activities, including traffic signal modifications, enhanced and raised crosswalks, reduced curb-return radii, ADA-compliant curb ramps, and Class II and Class IV bicycle facilities. Funding for the design phase was previously approved by the City Council as part of the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Capital Improvement Program. Through this staff report, staff recommends recognizing $4,550,000 in ATP construction funding and amending the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Capital Improvement Program accordingly. The grant requires the Project to be completed by January 31, 2028.

Project Advertisement and Contractor Procurement
To provide an opportunity for local vendors to submit bids, the City notified a total of 3,137 regional vendors via PlanetBids, many of which are Santa Ana based.

Furthermore, staff specifically reached out to Santa Ana vendors to encourage their participation in bids. A total of seven (7) bids were received. Zero (0) bids were received from Santa Ana contractors.

As legally required, a Notice Inviting Bids was advertised in the Orange County Register newspaper on June 12, 2026. The project was also advertised in PlanetBids from June 9, 2026 to June 30, 2026. Bids were received electronically via PlanetBids on June 30, 2026. No bid protest was submitted by any of the bidders during the bid protest period.

The City also uses diesel to power emergency backup generators at critical City facilities and for certain construction projects requiring on-site fuel delivery.

Fuel consumption has increased due to growth in heavy fleet equipment used in construction activity, increased reliance on diesel-powered emergency generators, and fuel requirements associated with major capital improvement and infrastructure projects.

For example, the Memorial Park Aquatic Center project required on-site diesel fuel delivery to support construction equipment and other project operations. Similarly, improvements at the Garthe Water Pump Station required temporary generators to maintain facility operations during electrical rehabilitation. Temporary generators City Council 14 – 1 9/15/2026

allowed capital improvement projects to stay on schedule and water distribution facilities to remain operational while permanent electrical improvements were completed, ensuring continuous, uninterrupted delivery of water services to customers.

In addition to increased fuel consumption, fuel prices have experienced significant increases attributed to a combination of global crude oil prices, refinery operations and outages, and other supply and market conditions. In the last three years, the City’s unleaded and diesel fuel costs have risen by 32% and 39%, respectively.

On December 20, 2022, the City Council approved an agreement with AAA Oil, Inc. to provide fuel delivery and supply services for the term beginning December 20, 2022 through December 19, 2025, with one two-year extension option (Exhibit 1). Since that time, AAA Oil, Inc. has provided reliable and consistent service to support the City’s fleet, emergency power systems, and various City projects. Therefore, the City exercised the two-year extension option, which expires December 19, 2027 (Exhibit 2).

The current agreement provides a total annual amount not to exceed $1.3M for a total not to exceed amount of $6.5M for the duration of the contract, including all extensions for routine fuel expenditures. The City has expended over $1.2M during the fourth term of the agreement, with less than $100,000 remaining through December 19, 2026. Due to increasing fuel prices and demand, staff recommends approval of the First Amendment to the agreement with AAA Oil, Inc., increasing the annual not-to-exceed amount by $450,000 for a total amended contract amount not to exceed $7.4M (Exhibit 3). The additional contract capacity will provide sufficient flexibility to address increased fuel prices and meet fluctuating fuel demands associated with City fleet operations, emergency generators, and citywide construction and infrastructure projects.

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

FISCAL IMPACT
With the approval of the requested appropriation adjustment, $450,000 of fuel revenue will be recognized in the City Yard Operations-Gas & Diesel Dept Charge Back revenue account and appropriated for spending in the City Yard Operations-Gas & Diesel expenditure account. All funds will be available for expenditure in Fiscal Year 2026- 2027. Subsequent fiscal year funding will be included in the proposed budgets for City Council consideration.

Should the City want to proceed with this value- added service, the cost would be an additional 0.02 per gallon on the fuel deliveries for those tanks we install monitors on.
