recreational amenity in a “park gap” area. As part of implementation of the PMP, the City acquired the respective parcels. Project funding, an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and a construction contract were approved and awarded by City Council on October 15, 2024. Construction of the 10th and Flower Street Park commenced in June 2026 and is anticipated to be completed by March 2027.
The proposed General Plan Amendment is being processed independently from the General Plan Cleanup (General Plan Amendment No. 2026-02) associated with the Citywide Comprehensive Zoning Code Update. This independent processing is necessary because a project-specific Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) was prepared and adopted specifically for the development of the 10th and Flower Street Park.
Planning Commission Action
In accordance with Section 27-12 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), on September 14, 2026, the Planning Commission held a public hearing for the Project and voted to recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution approving GPA No. 2024-01 by a vote of 6:0:1, with Commissioner Oliva absent, to re-designate the portions of the project site’s General Plan land use designation from Professional and Administrative Office (PAO) to Open Space (OS) and the street portions of the project site from undesignated public right-of-way to OS and update associated figures and table data of the City’s General Plan.

October 20, 2026
The City proposes to re-designate the portions of the project site’s General Plan land use designation from Professional and Administrative Office (PAO) to Open Space (OS) and the street portions of the project site from undesignated public right-of-way to OS to align the General Plan land use designation with a new 1.2-acre neighborhood park under construction. Portions of the project site are in the Professional (P) zoning district and balance of the project site is located in the public-right-of way. While a zone change is not proposed as part of this project, the property is proposed to be rezoned to Open Space (OS) as part of the separate Citywide Comprehensive Zoning Code Update under Zone Change (ZC) No. 2026-0004.
The proposed amendment includes revisions to eight figures and one table. The figures listed below are proposed to be revised as part of the amendment and appear in Exhibit A of Exhibit 1.

GPA No. 2024-01 – 10th and Flower Street Park Project (915, 921, and 925 N. Flower Street; 841, 842, 843, 848, and 852 N. Garnsey Street; and portions of W. Tenth Street and N. Garnsey Street)
October 20, 2026
The OS designation provides for recreational and green spaces and aligns the General Plan land use designation with the site’s use as a neighborhood park.
Designating the project site OS supports several goals and policies of the General Plan.
The OS designation ensures that residents have access to a diversity of land uses, including sufficient open space in the form of a neighborhood park in an area that is currently underserved, thereby promoting equitable creation and distribution of open space (Goal OS-1: Policies OS-1.4 and OS-1.5; Goal PS-1: Policy PS-1.2; Goal LU-1:
Policy LU-1.3; and Goal LU-2: Policies LU-2.3 and LU-2.9). Furthermore, the designation encourages positive community interactions and neighborhood pride (Goal CM-3: Policy CM-3.5) and promotes a clean and safe environment (Goal LU-3: Policy LU-3.7).
Park Naming
A name for the 10th and Flower Street Park has not yet been formalized. Pursuant to Sec. 33-5 (Names of streets and other public facilities – Submittal of requests), all requests for the naming of a park are referred to the Planning Commission. In reaching a decision, the Planning Commission shall consider names that identify, reference, or recognize distinct characteristics of the immediate area, history of the vicinity, or notable person or families.
The Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Agency is coordinating with the Public Works and Planning and Building agencies to bring forward a separate park naming for the Planning Commission’s consideration. The timing will align with completion of the park, which is expected to take place in March 2027.
Public Notification and Community Outreach
Project notifications were posted, published, and mailed in accordance with City and State requirements. Copies of the public notice, including the 2,000-foot notification radius map, are provided in Exhibit 4. At the time this report was printed, no issues of concern had been raised by the public regarding the requested action.
A Notice of Intent (NOI) to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration was published in the Orange County Register and mailed to property owners and occupants within a 2,000- foot notification radius. The NOI welcomed public commenting from Wednesday, September 4, 2024, and concluded on Friday, October 4, 2024. Additionally, Tribal consultation was conducted pursuant to Assembly Bill (AB) 52 and Senate Bill (SB) 18 with Tribes identified by the Native American Heritage Commission. The NOI was also filed with the California State Clearinghouse and the Orange County Clerk-Recorder’s Office. The NOI identified the availability of the Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and provided details on where electronic copies could be accessed on the City’s website, as well as the locations where hard copies were available for public review, including the Public Works Agency counter.

October 20, 2026
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City of Santa Ana, acting as the Lead Agency, previously prepared and adopted an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) on October 15, 2024, for the 10th and Flower Street Park Project (SCH No. 2024090074), and a Notice of Determination (NOD) was filed on October 16, 2024. The City has reviewed and considered the environmental effects of the project as shown in the previously adopted IS/MND, including the proposed General Plan Amendment. The proposed General Plan Amendment is within the scope of the previously adopted IS/MND, and none of the conditions set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 requiring a subsequent of supplemental environmental document exist. There are no substantial changes to the project or circumstances, and no new information of substantial importance that would require subsequent environmental review. Furthermore, the proposed project would not have a significant effect on the environment with implementation of the previously adopted mitigation measures identified in the IS/MND and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP). The IS/MND can be viewed at the hyperlink provided in Exhibit 3.

Section 5. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City of Santa Ana, acting as the Lead Agency, previously prepared and adopted an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the 10th and Flower Street Park Project (SCH No. 2024090074), and a Notice of Determination (NOD) was filed on October 15, 2025.

Planning Commission Staff Report
September 14, 2026
Topic: General Plan Amendment No. 2024-01 – 10th and Flower Street Park (915, 921, and 925 N. Flower Street, 841, 842, 843, 848, and 852 N. Garnsey Street, and portions of W. Tenth Street and N. Garnsey Street)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution approving General Plan Amendment No. 2024-01 to re-designate the project to Open Space (OS) and update associated figures and table data of the City’s General Plan.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Santa Ana is requesting Planning Commission recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution (Exhibit 1) adopting General Plan Amendment (GPA) No. 2024-01 for the approximately 1.2-acre property located 915, 921, and 925 N. Flower Street and 841, 842, 843, 848, and 852 N. Garnsey Street and including portions of W.
Tenth Street and N. Garnsey Street. The proposed project would re-designate the General Plan land use designation of 915, 921, and 925 N. Flower Street and 841, 842, 843, 848, and 852 N. Garnsey Street from Professional and Administrative Office (PAO) to Open Space (OS) and the portions of W. Tenth Street and N. Garnsey Street from undesignated right-of-way to OS to reflect the intended use of the property as a new public park (“10th and Flower Street Park”), and update associated figures and tables of the City’s General Plan.
Project Background
On May 17, 2022, the Santa Ana City Council adopted a citywide Parks Master Plan (PMP) with goals established to develop parkland within a 10-minute walk for all residents and provide three acres of parkland per 1,000 residents citywide. Within the PMP, the City identified the project site (labeled as the “10th and Flower Street Park”) as the future location for a new park intended to create a recreational amenity in a “park gap” area. As part of implementation of the PMP, the City acquired the respective parcels along with the existing single-family residences at 841 and 843 N. Garnsey Street; these homes were demolished in 2025. Project funding, an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and a construction contract were approved and awarded by City Council on October 15, 2024. Construction of the 10th and Flower Street Park commenced in June 2026 and is anticipated to be completed by March 2027.

Portions of the property are in the Professional (P) zoning district and the public-right-of way portions are undesignated. While a zone change is not proposed as part of this project, the property is proposed to be rezoned to Open Space (OS) as part of the separate Citywide Comprehensive Zoning Code Update under Zone Change (ZC) No. 2026-0004.
The proposed amendment also includes revisions to multiple figures and one table to accurately illustrate the Open Space designation of the property and the location of the 10th and Flower Street Park. The following figures are proposed to be revised as part of the amendment:

September 14, 2026
Analysis
The OS designation provides for recreational and green spaces, including parks, commercial open space, and public facilities, and would align the General Plan land use designation with the site’s future use as a neighborhood park. The re-designation to OS will support several goals and policies of the General Plan. The OS designation ensures that residents have access to a diversity of land uses, including sufficient open space in the form of a neighborhood park in an area that is currently underserved, thereby promoting equitable creation and distribution of open space (Goal OS-1: Policies OS-1.4 and OS-1.5; Goal PS-1: Policy PS-1.2; Goal LU-1: Policy LU-1.3; and Goal LU-2: Policies LU-2.3 and LU-2.9). Furthermore, the designation encourages positive community interactions and neighborhood pride (Goal CM-3: Policy CM-3.5) and promotes a clean, safe, and creative environment for Santa Ana’s residents (Goal LU-3: Policy LU-3.7).
In accordance with Section 27-12 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution approving General Plan Amendment (GPA) No. 2024-01 to re-designate the land use of the project site from Professional and Administrative Office (PAO) to Open Space (OS).

Public Notification and Community Outreach
Project notifications were posted, published, and mailed in accordance with City and State requirements. Copies of the public notice, including the 2,000-foot notification radius map and site posting, are provided in Exhibit 4 and consistent with all requirements. At the time this report was printed, no issues of concern had been raised by the public regarding the requested action.
A Notice of Intent (NOI) to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration was published in the Orange County Register and mailed to property owners and occupants within a 2,000- foot notification radius. The NOI welcomed public commenting from Wednesday, September 4, 2024, and concluded on Friday, October 4, 2024. Additionally, Tribal consultation was conducted pursuant to Assembly Bill (AB) 52 and Senate Bill (SB) 18 with Tribes identified by the Native American Heritage Commission. The NOI was also filed with the California State Clearinghouse and the Orange County Clerk-Recorder’s Office.
The NOI identified the availability of the Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and provided details on where electronic copies could be accessed on the City’s website, as well as the locations where hard copies were available for public review, including the Public Works Agency counter.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City of Santa Ana, acting as the Lead Agency, previously prepared and adopted an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) on October 15, 2024 for the 10th and Flower Street Park Project (SCH No. 2024090074), and a Notice of Determination (NOD) was filed on October 16, 2024. The City has reviewed and considered the environmental effects of the project as shown in the previously adopted IS/MND, including the proposed General Plan Amendment. The proposed General Plan Amendment is within the scope of the previously adopted IS/MND, and none of the conditions set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 requiring a subsequent of supplemental environmental document exist. There are no substantial changes to the project or circumstances, and no new information of substantial importance that would require subsequent environmental review. Furthermore, the proposed project would not have a significant effect on the environment with implementation of the previously adopted mitigation measures identified in the IS/MND and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP).
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with these actions.

Amendment is compatible with the objectives, policies, and general plan land use programs specified in the General Plan for the City of Santa Ana in that:
A. The City of Santa Ana has officially adopted a General Plan.
B. The land use authorized by the General Plan Amendment, and the General Plan Amendment itself, are compatible with the objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs specified in the General Plan, for the following reasons:
i. The proposed General Plan land use designation for the project site is Open Space (OS), which is intended to accommodate recreational and green spaces, including parks, commercial open space, and public facilities.
ii. The Project aligns the land use designation with the planned construction of a new neighborhood park and is well suited for and complementary to the established residential uses in the surrounding area.
iii. The Project will support several goals and policies of the General Plan by ensuring that residents have access to a neighborhood scale public park in an underserved area (Goal OS-1: Policies OS-1.4 and OS-1.5 and Goal PS-1: Policy PS-1.2), encouraging positive community interactions and neighborhood pride (Goal CM-3: Policy CM-3.5), promoting the equitable creation and distribution of open space (Goal LU-1: Policy LU-1.3), providing a diversity of land uses, including sufficient open space, for residents, visitors, and businesses (Goal LU-2: Policies LU-2.3 and LU-2.9), and promoting a clean, safe, and creative environment for Santa Ana’s residents (Goal LU-3: Policy LU-3.7).

The City of Santa Ana has reviewed and considered the environmental effects of the Project as shown in the previously adopted IS/MND, including the proposed General Plan Amendment. The City has determined that the proposed General Plan Amendment is within the scope of the previously adopted IS/MND, and none of the conditions set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 requiring a subsequent of supplemental environmental document exist.
Based on the whole of the administrative record, including the previously adopted Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration, and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, the City Council finds that there are no substantial changes to the Project or City Council 26 – 27 10/20/2026
Resolution No. 2026-XXX
circumstances, and no new information of substantial importance that would require subsequent environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, and that the proposed Project would not have a significant effect on the environment with implementation of the adopted mitigation measures, and hereby reaffirms reliance upon the previously adopted IS/MND and MMRP in conjunction with approval of this resolution.
Section 6. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana, after conducting the public hearing, hereby approves General Plan Amendment No. 2024-01, attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference, subject to compliance with the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at the above said hearing, which includes, but is not limited to: the Request for Planning Commission Action dated September 14, 2026; the Request for Council Action dated October 6, 2026, and exhibits attached hereto; and the public testimony, written and oral, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference.

COUNCILMEMBER-REQUESTED ITEM TITLE
Discuss and Consider Directing the City Manager to Direct Staff as Follows: (1) Report Back to the City Council Within 30 Days on the City's Agreements with Flock Group, Inc. (Agreement No. A-2025-059) and Motorola Solutions, Inc. (Agreement No. A-2025-060) for Automated License Plate Recognition Services, Including All Options and Costs to Terminate, Suspend, or Not Renew Each Agreement; (2) Present the One Year Update from Staff That the City Council Directed When It Approved the Agreements on May 6, 2025, Including Data on the System's Effectiveness; and (3) Report on All Outside Agency Access to the City's ALPR Data, Including Searches Conducted by the Northern California Regional Intelligence Center, and the City's Compliance with California Civil Code Section 1798.90.5 et seq. (SB 34) and SAPD Policy 436 (Continued from the City Council Meeting of October 6, 2026; Item No. 30)
DISCUSSION
Background
On May 6, 2025, the City Council approved two agreements on a 4 to 3 vote:
• Agreement No. A-2025-059 with Flock Group, Inc.: a three year agreement, not to exceed $211,560, for 24 fixed ALPR cameras.
• Agreement No. A-2025-060 with Motorola Solutions, Inc.: a five year agreement, not to exceed $494,099, for 24 fixed ALPR cameras and mobile ALPR units on 4 patrol vehicles.
During the discussion, I raised concerns about third party data sharing, records retention, and personal identifying information collected by the system. The City Council, in its motion approving both agreements with Flock and Motorola, requested a one-year update from staff. That update was due in May 2026 and has not been presented.
The staff report said Flock was selected in part because it provides access to an extensive network of outside law enforcement agencies' data. The City purchased extended data retention of up to one year for every Flock camera; Flock's standard retention period is 30 days.

BOX 1988, M31 - SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA 92702 TELEPHONE (714) 647-6900 - FAX (714) 647-6954 - www.santa-ana.org In August 2026, reporting based on public records released by the City showed that the Northern California Regional Intelligence Center (NCRIC) ran more than 27,000 searches accessing Santa Ana's Flock network over 6 months. The search logs name:
• U.S. Department of Justice
• FBI
• ATF
• U.S. Marshals
• DEA
• U.S. Forest Service
• IRS
• An agency in Washington State
State law limits the sharing of ALPR data to California public agencies, and the Attorney General has advised that federal and out of state agencies are not included. The City has no memorandum of understanding with NCRIC on file.
Neither agreement allows the City to terminate at will. Each contains specific provisions for termination, nonrenewal or early exit that carry different costs and timelines. The Flock agreement renews automatically for 24 months unless notice is given. Santa Ana residents deserve a clear accounting of who has accessed this data, whether that access complied with state law, and what the City's options are. This item asks staff to provide that information so the City Council can make an informed decision in public.
Recommended Action
Direct the City Manager to direct staff to return to the City Council within 30 days with a report that includes:
1. Contract status. For each agreement:
o The date the term began (for Flock, the date cameras were validated as operational)
o Current term end dates
o Invoices paid to date
o The date and amount of each remaining scheduled payment
2. Termination options and costs for Agreement No. A-2025-059 (Flock) o Termination for non-appropriation under Section 11.15, on 30 days' written notice
o Termination for uncured material breach under Section 7.2 o Notice of nonrenewal under Section 7.1
o Any negotiated mutual termination
o Confirmation that the agreement will not renew automatically without City Council action
3. Termination options and costs for Agreement No. A-2025-060 (Motorola) o Termination for uncured material breach under MCA Section 3.2 o Any negotiated mutual termination
o A calculation of the early termination payment under Vigilant Addendum Section 4.6.2, based on the equipment MSRP and the months remaining in the Commitment Term

4. The one-year update. The update from staff the Council directed on May 6, 2025, including:
o Stolen vehicles recovered
o Missing persons located
o Cases in which ALPR data contributed to an arrest or solved crime o Confirmation of number of employees accessing this system
5. Outside agency access. For both systems, now and since installation:
o A complete list of every outside agency with access to the City's ALPR data
o All data sharing settings in use, including any Flock national lookup participation and any Motorola Vehicle Manager sharing
o Total outside searches by agency
o A specific accounting of searches by the Northern California Regional Intelligence Center, including any conducted on behalf of federal or out-ofstate agencies o Whether any memorandum of understanding governs that access
6. Legal analysis by the City Attorney's Office
o Whether the access described in item 5 complied with Civil Code Section 1798.90.55(b), SAPD Policy 436, and the City's sanctuary city ordinance o Whether any such access gives the City grounds to terminate for material breach under either agreement
7. Data retention and vendor data rights
o Whether the City has adopted a retention policy for ALPR data o Options to reduce the 365-day retention period purchased under the Flock Order Form
o The retention period currently set for the Motorola system o An analysis of each vendor's rights to use or disclose City data, including Flock MSA Sections 4.3 and 5.3 and Motorola MCA Section 10.4.1
8. Fiscal impact
o Total spent to date from the SLESA Law Enforcement Grants fund o Remaining appropriations for these agreements
o Eligible alternative uses of those funds within SLESA requirements if either agreement ends
9. Interim direction
o Pending the report, direct the City Manager to disable all outside agency access to the City's ALPR data, to the extent permitted under the agreements

Protection of Mobilehome Owners from Harassment and Displacement
COUNCILMEMBER-REQUESTED ITEM TITLE
Discuss and Consider Providing Direction to the City Manager to Prepare a Resolution for City Council Consideration Supporting Mobilehome Owners’ Rights and Requesting that the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) Investigate Allegations of Landlord Harassment, Intimidation, Retaliation, and Attempts to Unlawfully Acquire Residents’ Homes
DISCUSSION
Mobilehome communities provide an important source of affordable housing for Santa Ana’s working families and seniors. Residents who own their homes deserve protection from alleged landlord harassment, intimidation, retaliation, and efforts to force them out or take ownership of their property.
The City Council should adopt a resolution supporting mobilehome owners and requesting that HCD investigate allegations of unlawful landlord practices and potential violations of California’s Mobilehome Residency Law. The resolution should also call for stronger enforcement of existing housing protections, protection against retailiation, and access to legal assistance for affected homeowners.

TOPIC: Electronic Document Management System for the Housing Authority
AGENDA TITLE
Agreement with Naviant, LLC for an Electronic Document Management System for the Housing Authority (Specification No. 25-152A) (Non-General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the Executive Director of the Housing Authority to execute an agreement with Naviant, LLC to provide an Electronic Document Management System for the Housing Authority in an amount not to exceed $367,762, for a three (3) year term beginning October 6, 2026 and expiring October 5, 2029, with the option for up to two (2) one-year extensions (Agreement No. A-2026-XXX).
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes
DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Housing Authority (SAHA) is seeking to implement a secure, cloudbased Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) to support the administration of the Housing Choice Voucher program, including Project-Based Voucher and Special Purpose Voucher tenants. The primary goal is to transition from a paper-based environment to a digital, centralized repository that improves staff efficiency, strengthens compliance with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations, and enhances the integrity, security, and accessibility of tenant records over the long term. This includes real-time scanning and instant digital access of tenant files.
SAHA currently manages more than 3,167 Housing Choice Vouchers and maintains extensive tenant records in both physical and electronic formats, which creates operational challenges related to document retrieval, storage, and timely access during eligibility reviews, recertifications, inspections, and compliance activities. In addition, the Housing Authority has already undertaken a large-scale digitization effort for approximately 1,650 tenant files totaling about 732,600 images scanned through Iron Mountain, making it critical to procure a system capable of accurately importing, validating, organizing, and maintaining those electronic records in a manner that supports day-to-day program operations.
City Council 3 – 1 10/20/2026
Electronic Document Management System for the Housing Authority October 20, 2026
Toward this end, staff issued Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 25-152A on January 8, 2026 on the City’s online bid management and publication system. A summary of vendor participation and results is as follows:
912 Vendors notified
1 Santa Ana vendor notified
77 Vendors downloaded the RFP packet
12 Responsive proposals received
0 Responsive proposals received from Santa Ana vendors
Proposals were solicited from January 8, 2026 to February 10, 2026. Twelve (12) proposals were received by the RFP deadline and were determined to be responsive to the specifications and met the City's requirements. Bid validity was extended for the top four (4) proposals. An evaluation committee reviewed and rated the proposals according to the criteria listed in the RFP.
The RFP required the selected contractor to provide a comprehensive EDMS tailored to the Housing Authority’s tenant-file environment, including robust search functionality, Optical Character Recognition and full-text indexing, role-based security and audit trails, direct scanning of new documents, bulk import of legacy files, post-migration validation, and ongoing training and support for at least three years. Proposals were evaluated on organization and completeness, qualifications and experience, key personnel, technical approach and methodology, and cost.
Following this procurement process, staff recommends awarding an Agreement to the highest-ranked firm, Naviant, LLC (Naviant). Founded in 1986, Naviant specializes in electronic document management, process improvement, and automation for public sector and other regulated organizations. The firm employs approximately 150 professionals, including personnel experienced in system implementation, data migration, training, and ongoing support. Its experience includes an enterprise-wide OnBase implementation for the Florida Department of Children and Families, involving the import, organization, validation, and secure management of large volumes of sensitive case records.
For the SAHA, Naviant proposes a customizable Hyland OnBase solution that is well suited to the Housing Authority’s electronic document management needs and can be configured to support the Housing Authority’s tenant file structure, workflows, security roles, and records management requirements. Naviant proposes a dedicated team of approximately five to seven staff during data migration and system launch.
Based on Naviant’s demonstrated experience, proposed implementation approach, and the flexibility of its solution to meet the SAHA’s operational needs, staff recommends awarding an Agreement to Naviant.
Proposed Agreement with Naviant
City Council 3 – 2 10/20/2026
Electronic Document Management System for the Housing Authority October 20, 2026
The proposed Agreement requires Naviant to provide, configure, implement, maintain, and support a cloud-based EDMS tailored to the Housing Authority’s tenant records (Exhibit 1). Services include importing approximately 1,650 existing tenant files, validating their completeness and placement, and providing a post-migration audit report. The system will support direct scanning, searchable document text, automated indexing, document retention, role-based access controls, encryption, and comprehensive audit trails. Naviant will also provide hands-on training for staff and system administrators, user reference materials, and ongoing technical support and system maintenance for at least three years following implementation.
The Agreement provides for an initial three-year term beginning October 6, 2026 and ending October 5, 2029, with the option for up to two (2) one-year extensions. Total compensation shall not exceed $367,762 over the entire Agreement term, including both extensions. The initial three-year cost is $257,800, consisting of $107,800 in onetime professional services for project management, system design and configuration, existing-file conversion, testing, training, and implementation support, plus an annual hosted software subscription of $50,000. Renewal pricing adjustments are subject to the requirements in Exhibit B of the Agreement, including advance written notice, the applicable Consumer Price Index limitation, and City review and approval.
FISCAL IMPACT
A proposed carryover from FY 2025-26 will be presented for City Council consideration to FY 2026-27 and it includes $107,800 of one-time professional service fees related to set-up and implementation, plus the annual hosted software subscription fee of $50,000. Subsequent funding and the renewal options, if exercised, will be budgeted in future fiscal years for expenditure as shown in the table below.

Electronic Document Management System for Housing Authority The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana (SAHA) is seeking proposals from interested and qualified firms (Proposers) experienced in providing an Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) tailored specifically for the management of SAHA’s Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program tenant files, including Project Based Voucher and Special Purpose Voucher tenants. The project aims to eliminate dependence on physical paper files by shifting core tenant-related documentation processes to a secure, accessible digital environment. This includes enabling real-time scanning and instant management of new tenant files and integrating bulk imports of previously digitized records from an external hard drive. The selected solution must preserve the integrity and organization of SAHA’s tenant data, optimize workflow efficiency, and support compliance with HUD and other applicable requirements throughout the transition to paperless operations.
The selected EDMS shall create, store, manage, and track electronic documents and images of paper-based documents within a single software platform. The system will serve as a centralized document repository so that authorized Housing Authority users can locate, update and review documents easily and efficiently. The Contractor shall provide, implement, maintain, and support a comprehensive, cloud-based EDMS tailored to the management of HCV program tenant files. The EDMS must deliver a comprehensive, paperless workflow for all tenant-related documentation and must be able to successfully and efficiently import approximately 732,000 scanned pages for 1,650 existing physical tenant files using a specific user-defined e-file naming convention, allowing digital access to the existing tenant records.

Staff Report

TOPIC: On-Call Agreements for Affordable Housing Financial, Analytical, and Advisory Services
AGENDA TITLE
Agreements with Harris & Associates, Inc., Keyser Marston Associates, Inc., and RSG, Inc. for on-call Affordable Housing Financial, Analytical, and Advisory Services (Specification No. 26-034A) (Non-General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the Executive Director of the Housing Authority to execute joint on-call consultant Agreements for affordable housing financial, analytical, and advisory services with Harris & Associates, Inc., Keyser Marston Associates, Inc., and RSG, Inc. for a three-year term beginning October 20, 2026 and expiring October 19, 2029, with the option for the City to grant up to two 1-year extensions, in a total shared amount not to exceed $300,000 (Contingent upon approval of City Council Item # 12) (Agreement Nos. A-2026-XXX, A-2026-XXX, A-2026-XXX).
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes
DISCUSSION
To provide affordable housing for our residents, the Community Development Agency manages a large volume of grants and programs that require specialized expertise in affordable housing development finance, real estate development, land use, and federal, state, and local grant programs. This includes at least nine (9) sources of federal, state, and local affordable housing funds (HOME, CDBG, HCV, CalHOME, Inclusionary, PLHA, LMIHAF, HHAP, and Housing Authority Issuer Fees).
To manage these various grants and programs, staff is supported by specialized real estate consultants who provide affordable housing financial, analytical, and advisory services. These consultants provide comprehensive financial, real estate, land use, compliance monitoring, and advisory services related to housing and community development activities carried out with these grant funds. These types of consultant services are typical for a large city such as Santa Ana and necessary for staff to meet the goals in our Housing Element.
City Council 4 – 1 10/20/2026
On-Call Agreements for Affordable Housing Financial, Analytical, and Advisory Services October 20, 2026
Toward this end, on August 20, 2026, staff issued Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 26- 034A on the City’s online bid management and publication system. A summary of vendor participation and results is as follows:
240 Vendors notified
11 Santa Ana vendors notified
26 Vendors downloaded the RFP packet
6 Responsive proposals received
0 Responsive proposals received from Santa Ana vendors
Proposals were solicited, opened, and evaluated on September 9, 2026. Six (6) proposals were submitted before the RFP deadline and were determined to be responsive to the specifications and met the City’s requirements. An evaluation committee reviewed and rated the proposals according to the criteria listed in the RFP.
Following this procurement process, staff recommends awarding three joint on-call consultant agreements to Harris & Associates, Inc., Keyser Marston Associates, Inc., and RSG, Inc. Due to the volume and specialization of affordable housing activity as a large city, staff recommends approving agreements with more than one firm in cases where additional assistance is needed or specialized knowledge and services are not available from one firm, but may be available from one of the other two firms. Each firm brings decades of experience, knowledge, and expertise in providing advisory services related to housing and community development activities.
Proposed Agreement
The proposed agreements would authorize the City of Santa Ana and the Santa Ana Housing Authority to obtain affordable housing financial, analytical, and advisory services from the three firms on an as-needed basis (Exhibits 1, 2, and 3). Services include financial feasibility and subsidy layering analyses, developer proposal evaluation and transaction structuring, inclusionary housing and land use analyses, and monitoring of affordability covenants, operating budgets, and loan repayment requirements. These services are not meant to be exhaustive or exclusive to affordable housing, and may include any form of general land use and real estate development services for housing, community and economic development purposes to support the City (e.g. Surplus Land Act compliance, Community Financing Districts, etc.).
The agreements provide for an initial three-year term beginning October 20, 2026 and ending October 19, 2029, with up to two 1-year extensions at the City’s option. Total compensation would not exceed a shared amount of $300,000 across all three firms for the entire term, including any extensions; this is not a separate allocation to each firm.
Assignments would be made at the City’s discretion based on availability and specialization, with priority given to Keyser Marston Associates, Inc., the highest-ranked firm. Consultants would be paid only for actual services performed at the rates and charges established in their respective agreements, with no guaranteed minimum compensation.

Qualifications and Experience of Each Firm
Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. (KMA), founded in 1973, has more than 50 years of experience providing real estate, affordable housing, financial, and economic consulting services to California public agencies. Its expertise includes project underwriting, financial gap and subsidy layering analyses, developer selection, transaction structuring, inclusionary housing policy, Surplus Land Act, and affordability and residual receipts monitoring (Exhibit 1). KMA has provided on-call services to Santa Ana and its Housing Authority since the late 1970s, with regular assistance on affordable housing development since 2015. Other municipal clients include Anaheim and Long Beach, where KMA has provided comparable affordable housing financial analysis, transaction support, and program advisory services.
RSG, Inc., (RSG) founded in 1979, has more than four decades of experience assisting California public agencies with affordable housing finance, real estate analysis, housing program administration, and regulatory compliance (Exhibit 2). Its expertise includes development underwriting, subsidy layering analyses, developer evaluation, property disposition, affordability monitoring, residual receipts reviews, and preparation of housing policies and procedures. The firm’s proposed team includes personnel with annual compliance monitoring experience covering 325 affordable housing projects and more than 13,300 affordable units. RSG also brings familiarity with Santa Ana through its assistance with the development, implementation, and administration of the City’s Rent Stabilization and Just Cause Eviction Ordinance since 2021. Other clients include Irvine, Chula Vista, Murrieta, and the County of Orange.
Harris & Associates, Inc., (Harris) founded in 1974, is an employee-owned multidisciplinary consulting firm that has provided affordable housing financial, analytical, and advisory services to California public agencies since 2012 (Exhibit 3). Its expertise includes financial feasibility and pro forma review, subsidy and funding analysis, developer proposal evaluation, grant applications and program administration, inclusionary housing studies, and loan and compliance monitoring. Recently for the San Gabriel Valley Regional Housing Trust, Harris helped secure more than $5.1 million in grant funding and allocate more than $13.5 million to 13 developments supporting the creation of more than 700 affordable housing units. Other municipal clients include Hawthorne, Irvine, and Santa Monica, with assignments involving affordable housing financial reviews and funding administration, inclusionary housing and in-lieu fee analyses, and loan monitoring.
The Community Development Agency relies on specialized consultant support to manage its large volume of housing and community development grants and programs and the financial, real estate, land use, and compliance responsibilities associated with these resources. Approval of the proposed agreements would continue this support and give staff access to necessary expertise and additional capacity to support informed funding decisions, oversight of the City’s affordable housing investments, and implementation of the City’s Housing Element goals. The cost for these consultant services does not impact the City’s General Fund.

City Council 4 – 16 10/20/2026
City of Santa Ana | Proposal to Provide Affordable Housing Financial, Analytical and Advisory Services | September 2026 | 14 D. PROPOSED WORK PLAN
Understanding of the City's Objectives
KMA understands that the City is seeking on-call financial consulting support to ensure that affordable housing and community development projects are financially feasible, strategically structured, and aligned with the City's policy goals and regulatory requirements. As the City's incumbent advisor since the late 1970s, KMA is already familiar with the City's housing portfolio, funding sources, and decision-making processes. Our approach is reality-based: we provide decision-makers with sound advice supported by strong technical analysis of the market, financial, community, and development factors that determine whether a project succeeds. The following describes KMA's general methodology and our specific approach to the scope of services requested by the City.
Methodology and Quality Control
KMA has developed a methodology and approach to ensure quality control for its real estate advisory and economic development services. A hallmark of KMA's service delivery is the direct and constant involvement of the firm's principals in all KMA assignments. KMA has designated Mr. Tim Bretz as Principal-in-Charge for contract coordination and in the delivery of all services. KMA's other principals will be available, as their special areas of expertise may be required. KMA will ensure that all work products are delivered on a timely basis, within the parameters dictated by accessibility to needed information.
Direct Principal
Responsibility
Each assignment is headed by one of the firm’s experienced principals, selected based upon the particular skill set required for the assignment. The appropriate principal will review all work before submitting it to the client.
Consulting
Specialist
For projects where a variety of skill sets are required (for example, a mixed use project that includes both affordable and market rate housing and a retail component), KMA will bring consulting principals within the firm with the particular expertise required for the assignment.
Specialty Area
Subgroup
The firm has created subgroups which include selected principals and senior staff, to ensure that the best practices and analytical tools are made available firmwide. These specialty groups meet on a regularly scheduled basis and include such areas as ground lease structuring, public finance, and affordable housing.
Proprietary
Software Models
KMA has developed a series of proprietary computer models to ensure a uniformity of approach and analysis.
EXHIBIT 1
City Council 4 – 17 10/20/2026
City of Santa Ana | Proposal to Provide Affordable Housing Financial, Analytical and Advisory Services | September 2026 | 15 Service Area Approaches
The following section provides a summary of the typical approaches that KMA utilizes for many of the services
areas requested by the City. However, for each specific assignment, KMA will discuss with City staff prior to commencement to ensure that we are in alignment with
the requested analysis, desired work product, and project deadline.
Real Estate Market and Financial Feasibility Analysis
(Pro Forma Review & Underwriting)
KMA will discuss the proposed project with City staff. KMA will then use current market conditions and typical underwriting requirements to prepare a pro forma analysis of the project. KMA will also review the developer’s pro foma, if provided. The KMA pro forma analysis will evaluate
the project's financial feasibility, including any identified financial gap amount. KMA will evaluate potential outside funding sources that can be utilized to fill the identified financial gap. KMA will prepare a cash flow analysis for each project to evaluate the long-term operational feasibility of the project, as well as the potential repayments to be made on any City loans.
During this financial analysis, KMA often identifies issues for the City’s review and consideration. Upon completion of the initial financial analysis, KMA will work with City staff to identify possible solutions to any identified issues as well as potential funding sources to cover the financial gap. KMA will then prepare a written memorandum that
provides a summary of the proposed project and financial assistance request and terms, as well as a recommendation on the maximum assistance that should be provided to the project. Throughout the process, KMA will be available to work with the City's legal counsel, attend developer negotiations, review staff reports, and attend public meetings.
Evaluation of Development Proposals
KMA typically utilizes the following work plan when assisting clients with the evaluation of development proposals:
1. Review and evaluate each developer's qualifications, including development team experience, the developer's financial statements, and property and asset management experience.
2. Review and evaluate each developer's proposal,
including the developer's pro forma (development
budget, affordability restrictions, operating expense
assumptions, and proposed funding sources); the
project's cash flow and proposed residual receipts
percentages; the amount and structure of the
financial assistance being requested; and any other
relevant financial information.
3. Identify any deficiencies and/or areas that require
clarification, including preparation of a list of follow-up questions for each developer, and identify feasibility issues associated with the submitted proposals.
4. Prepare a comparison chart of the proposals received.
5. If requested, assist with selecting the short list of proposers to proceed to the interview phase and
participate in the developer interview process.
6. Complete any evaluation sheets utilized by the City.
7. Participate in meetings with staff throughout the
evaluation process.
Tax Credit and Public Finance Analysis (excluding municipal advisory services) KMA supports bond- and tax-credit-financed transactions at the analytical level: evaluating 9% and 4% Low-Income Housing Tax Credit structures, tax-exempt multifamily bond and CDLAC-allocated financing, subsidy layering reviews, and the feasibility of projects that incorporate public finance sources. KMA quantifies the warranted level of
public investment and evaluates how proposed financing
structures affect project feasibility and long-term operations. As stated in the cover letter, KMA is not a registered municipal advisor and is not proposing to provide municipal advisory services; KMA does not advise on the structuring, timing, terms, or issuance of municipal securities, and recommends the City retain a separately registered
municipal advisor for any securities issuance.
Additional Advisory Support
KMA will be available to provide additional advisory services on an as-needed basis. These services may include advising on issues related to complying with the Surplus Land Act, the structuring of property sales/ground leases EXHIBIT 1
City Council 4 – 18 10/20/2026
City of Santa Ana | Proposal to Provide Affordable Housing Financial, Analytical and Advisory Services | September 2026 | 16 for affordable and market rate residential developments, compiling a draft DDA term sheet based on project specifics, assisting with ground lease/loan closings, preparing reuse analysis as required by State law, and alternative financing strategies, as well as the requirements imposed by California Redevelopment Law. Additionally, KMA regularly assists clients with affordability and residual receipts monitoring, and regulatory reporting. KMA will assign the analysis to a qualified principal depending on the specific analysis being requested.
Project Timeline and Implementation Plan
KMA understands that the City will contract for services on an as-needed basis and assign projects as necessary. While specific projects have not been identified, KMA's implementation approach for each assignment is as follows:
1. The City contacts Tim Bretz with a description of the engagement.
2. Mr. Bretz assigns the engagement to the appropriate
KMA principal(s), who prepare a proposed scope of
work, a timeline, and a budget for the engagement
for the City's approval.
3. Upon approval, KMA delivers the work product in
accordance with the agreed-upon scope of work and
timeline.
4. Throughout each engagement, KMA staff are available for virtual meetings, in-person meetings, conference calls, and public meetings as needed.
KMA's track record of producing approximately 40% of
its Housing Practice assignments within 24 to 48 hours
demonstrates the firm's ability to meet compressed
timelines while maintaining principal-level review on
every deliverable. For each assignment, KMA proposes
a project-specific schedule with clear milestones at the scope-approval stage so that the City has predictable delivery dates.
Innovation and Value-Add
KMA brings several sources of added value to the City.
First, KMA's proprietary financial feasibility and fiscal-impact models ensure a consistent, well-tested analytical approach across assignments and reduce turnaround time.
Second, the firm's specialty subgroups in affordable housing, public finance, and ground-lease structuring make firm wide best practices and analytical tools available to every engagement, so the City benefits from the full depth of the firm rather than a single analyst. Third, KMA's continuity as Santa Ana's incumbent advisor since the late 1970s means no ramp-up cost and institutional knowledge of the City's portfolio and funding sources.
