TOPIC: Certification of Final Tract Map 2025-02, County Tract Map No. 19329

AGENDA TITLE
Certification of Approval by City Engineer of the Final Tract Map No. 2025-02, County Tract Map No. 19329 at 125 South Harbor Boulevard (Applicant: City Ventures Homebuilding, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company)

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive and file the certification of approval by City Engineer of the Final Tract Map 2025-02, County Tract Map No. 19329 at 125 South Harbor Boulevard.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No

DISCUSSION
In California, the regulation and control of land subdivisions are governed by the Subdivision Map Act, which delegates authority to local legislative bodies. Within the City of Santa Ana, subdivision regulations and procedures are codified in Chapters 34 and 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC).

Pursuant to SAMC Chapter 41, applicants must first submit a tentative tract map for staff review to ensure compliance with applicable standards and regulations. Once staff determines the map complies with all applicable requirements, it is presented to the Planning Commission for approval, in accordance with SAMC Section 34-127.

Following the Planning Commission’s action, staff notifies the City Council of the decision on the next business day. Applicants have ten (10) days to appeal a Planning Commission decision to the City Council.

Following the Planning Commission’s approval, and pursuant to SAMC Chapter 34, the applicant must prepare and submit a Final Map for review by the City Engineer.

Although the City Engineer is responsible for approving or disapproving the Final Map, the Subdivision Map Act and Santa Ana Municipal Code require the City Council to receive formal notice that the Final Map is under review prior to the City Engineer's action. The City Engineer ensures the Final Map is in substantial conformance with the City Council 10 – 1 10/20/2026
Certification of Final Tract Map 2025-02, County Tract Map No. 19329 October 20, 2026

Page 2 ends

approved tentative map and that all requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and SAMC have been satisfied. If these requirements are met, approval of the Final Map is an administrative action. As required by SAMC Section 34-183, the City Engineer notifies the City Council that the Final Map is under review and subject to approval.

On April 28, 2025, the Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract Map No. 2025- 02 for the property located at 125 South Harbor Boulevard, authorizing subdivision of the site into thirty-six (36) residential condominium units (Exhibit 1). City Ventures Homebuilding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is both the applicant and property owner. Kim Prijatel is the applicant’s designated authorized representative, as approved by City Ventures Homebuilding, LLC. The project will include four buildings with three-story townhouse units. The project will include affordable units, with four (4) units designated for moderate-income households. As part of the development, a total of 11,954 square feet of the project site will be common/private accessible open space.

This report serves as formal notification to the City Council that the applicant has submitted Final Tract Map No. 2025-02 (County Tract Map No. 19329) for City Engineer approval in accordance with the Subdivision Map Act and SAMC (Exhibit 2). No discretionary action by the City Council is required. The map is currently under final review by the City Engineer for technical accuracy and compliance with all applicable conditions of approval. Pursuant to SAMC Section 34-183, the City Engineer will issue the final determination to approve or disapprove the Final Map within ten (10) days following the City Council meeting on October 20, 2026.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared and certified in 2014 in order to address the potential environmental impacts associated with the Harbor Mixed Use Corridor Specific Plan. A mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP), findings of fact, and a statement of overriding consideration were adopted with the 2014 EIR.

As proposed, the development is not anticipated to have additional environmental impacts not addressed in the 2014 EIR. Furthermore, in accordance with CEQA, the recommended action is also exempt from further review under Section 15195 (Residential Infill Exemption), as this project meets all the threshold criteria set forth in Section 15192 (Threshold Requirements for Exemptions). The project site is not more than four acres in area, the project does not include any single level building exceeding 100,000 square feet, and the project is an infill development within one-half mile of a major transit stop. Moreover, the development promotes higher density infill housing, does not contain more than 100 residential units, and results in housing units made available to low income families.

Additionally, this ministerial action is exempt from further review under CEQA pursuant to Section 15268(b). All applicable mitigation measures in the original EIR and City Council 10 – 2 10/20/2026
Certification of Final Tract Map 2025-02, County Tract Map No. 19329 October 20, 2026

associated MMRP will be enforced. A Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2025-02, has been filed for this project.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

TOPIC: Street Outreach, Engagement, and Detox Services for Unhoused Individuals

AGENDA TITLE
Agreement with Kingdom Causes, Inc., dba City Net for Street Outreach, Engagement, and Substance Abuse Services for Unhoused Individuals (Specification No. 26-068A) (Non-General Fund)

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Kingdom Causes, Inc., dba City Net to provide street outreach, engagement, and substance abuse services for unhoused individuals in an amount of $3,500,000 per year, for a term beginning December 17, 2026 and expiring December 16, 2027, with provision for one 1-year extension in a total amount not to exceed $7,000,000 (Agreement No. A-2026-XXX).

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes

DISCUSSION
The City of Santa Ana continues to prioritize a coordinated and comprehensive response to homelessness that connects individuals experiencing homelessness with appropriate shelter, housing, treatment, and supportive services. Street outreach and engagement are critical components of the City’s homeless response system because they provide a direct point of contact with individuals living in unsheltered conditions who may not otherwise access available services. Consistent and proactive outreach allows trained staff to build relationships, assess individual needs and barriers, provide immediate assistance, and connect individuals to resources intended to support stabilization and pathways toward permanent housing.

On May 28, 2026, the City issued Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 26-068A to competitively procure qualified professional services for street outreach, engagement, case management, housing navigation, and detoxification services for individuals experiencing homelessness in Santa Ana.

The services sought through the RFP are intended to maintain a responsive, non-lawenforcement resource for addressing non-emergency homeless-related concerns throughout Santa Ana. The program provides outreach and engagement in response to requests received through the MySantaAna application, non-emergency homelessrelated calls received by the Santa Ana Police Department, priority requests from City staff, and other outreach referrals. In addition to responding to community requests, the City Council 11 – 1 10/20/2026

program is designed to provide ongoing case management, transportation assistance, connections to shelter and supportive services, assistance obtaining identification and other vital documents, and housing navigation for individuals experiencing homelessness.

The RFP also combines the City’s existing street outreach model with its detoxification services to better align the continuum of care. Substance use can present an additional barrier to stabilization, treatment, shelter placement, and housing for some individuals experiencing homelessness. Under the proposed program, outreach staff will be able to connect eligible and willing individuals to appropriate detoxification facilities and treatment resources. Short-term financial assistance may also be available for eligible detoxification services when an individual is awaiting the establishment or activation of medical insurance coverage.

Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 26-068A was issued on May 28, 2026 on the City’s online bid management and publication system. A summary of vendor participation and results is as follows:
444 Vendors notified
3 Santa Ana vendors notified
27 Vendors downloaded the RFP packet
2 Responsive proposals received
1 Responsive proposal received from Santa Ana vendor
Proposals were solicited, opened on July 29, 2026, and evaluated. Two (2) proposals were received by the RFP deadline and were determined to be responsive to the specifications and met the City's requirements. An inter-departmental evaluation committee reviewed and rated the proposals according to the criteria listed in the RFP.

Following this procurement process, staff recommends awarding an agreement to the highest-ranked firm, Kingdom Causes, Inc., dba City Net (Exhibit 1). Based on the results of the competitive evaluation process, City Net received the highest overall score and was determined by the Review Panel to be the proposer best positioned to meet the City’s current and evolving street outreach, engagement, and detoxification needs.

The Panel’s recommendation was based on the evaluation criteria established in the RFP, including the proposer’s demonstrated experience, understanding of the City’s needs, approach to service delivery, and ability to provide coordinated and responsive services.

City Net is the City’s current street outreach provider and has developed extensive knowledge of Santa Ana’s homeless response system, community needs, service resources, and the individuals experiencing homelessness who are served through the program. The City’s current contract with City Net provides a trauma-informed, non-lawenforcement homeless outreach and engagement resource known as SMART (Santa Ana’s Multi-Disciplinary Homeless Response Team). City Net responds to reports of non-criminal homeless-related activity identified through the MySantaAna app, nonemergency homeless-related calls received by the Santa Ana Police Department (SAPD), priority calls from City staff, and calls received through City Net’s dedicated City Council 11 – 2 10/20/2026
Street Outreach, Engagement and Detox Services for Unhoused Individuals October 20, 2026

dispatch system. City Net’s dedicated dispatch system provides an additional avenue for community members and City partners to request outreach assistance and facilitates the timely deployment of outreach staff to individuals experiencing homelessness.

In addition to street outreach, City Net provides a range of services designed to address the multiple barriers faced by individuals experiencing homelessness. Case Managers provide in-reach services at the Santa Ana jail and case management to individuals experiencing homelessness who are enrolled in the program. Outreach workers assist individuals with transportation to shelter, treatment facilities, medical appointments, and other supportive services, as well as assistance obtaining identification and other vital documents. Housing Navigators assist clients in identifying and connecting to appropriate housing opportunities.

City Net has also demonstrated its ability to respond to the City’s evolving needs and has been accommodating of requests to expand or modify services. Most recently, City Net conducted a local and updated Point-in-Time Count in October 2025 specifically for the City of Santa Ana, completing the effort within the financial constraints of its existing contract. This demonstrated the organization’s willingness and ability to undertake additional activities that support the City’s planning and understanding of homelessness within the community.

A significant enhancement to City Net’s proposed program is the addition of a detoxification component. Through this component, City Net will work with individuals experiencing homelessness who are interested in addressing substance use and connect them with appropriate detoxification facilities and treatment resources.

Detoxification services provide a structured setting where individuals can receive support while withdrawing from alcohol or other substances and can be connected to the appropriate level of ongoing treatment and recovery services. Recognizing that an individual may not have immediate access to insurance coverage or may experience delays in obtaining coverage, City Net will provide short-term financial assistance to cover eligible detoxification services while the individual’s medical insurance coverage is established or becomes effective, helping to remove a financial barrier that could otherwise prevent the individual from accessing treatment.

The addition of detoxification services strengthens the City's street outreach response by allowing outreach staff to address substance use as part of a broader engagement and stabilization strategy. Rather than simply providing a referral, the program will provide a pathway for eligible individuals to move from street outreach and engagement to detoxification and, when appropriate, additional treatment and supportive services, and ultimately toward becoming housed and achieving greater long-term stability.

City Net’s existing presence in Santa Ana also provides continuity of care for individuals with whom the organization has established relationships. Under the proposed contract, City Net will continue responding to street outreach requests and maintain case management services for the hundreds of individuals currently engaged with the program. This continuity will minimize disruptions in service, preserve established relationships between outreach staff and clients, and allow the organization to build City Council 11 – 3 10/20/2026
Street Outreach, Engagement and Detox Services for Unhoused Individuals October 20, 2026

Page 4 ends

upon its existing knowledge of individuals who may require multiple and sustained contacts before accepting services.

The Review Panel determined that City Net’s demonstrated knowledge of Santa Ana, established relationships with individuals experiencing homelessness, history of responsive service delivery, and enhanced approach incorporating detoxification services positioned the organization to provide the most effective and comprehensive response to the City’s current needs. The recommended award therefore allows the City to maintain continuity in its core street outreach services while expanding the program to provide additional pathways to treatment and stabilization for individuals experiencing homelessness.

The following are more detailed explanations of the core services our organization provides.

Outreach Engagement
Outreach Engagement is one of the visible services City Net provides, and case managers are trained to follow best practices in a professional manner. Before beginning outreach engagement, case managers must pass 80 hours of case management training which includes, but is not limited to: rapport building, whole-person care, implicit bias, mental health and behavioral health first aid, trauma-informed care, harm reduction, housing first principles, deescalation, motivational interviewing, progressive engagement, and housing retention services. Case Managers are aware that it can take between 8-10 engagements before an outreach contact agrees to services and continues to visit clients with patience until they are ready to engage, meeting individuals experiencing homelessness where they are located and providing supportive wraparound services designed to connect them to shelter, treatment, and
long-term housing opportunities within the City of Santa Ana.

Case Management
Case management activities assess housing and service needs and arrange, coordinate and/or monitor the delivery of individualized services. Specific activities include:
• Assessment and intake using HMIS
• Conducting initial evaluations including verifying and documenting eligibility • Counseling
• Developing/securing/coordinating services
• Helping obtain Federal, State, and local benefits
• Monitoring and evaluating program participant progress in particular programs • Providing information and referrals to other providers • Developing an individualized housing stabilization plan that leads to the attainment of any of the following:
o Emergency shelter
o Transitional housing
o Permanent supportive housing
o Rapid rehousing
o Family reunification

3 Supportive services may include providing access to and assistance in obtaining:
• Medicaid/Medi-Cal
• Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

Landlord engagement involves housing navigators and case managers reaching out to private landlords in the community to advocate for clients to be matched to housing opportunities. Specific activities include:
• Educate private landlords on the Rapid Re-Housing program’s policies and protocols • Provide information regarding City Net’s landlord incentive programs and the benefits of participation • Advocate for clients’ housing needs
• Match clients to specific units with landlords who have a shared interest • Provide a hotline number to call for emergencies
• Create a line of communication for when new units become available Housing Navigation
Housing Navigators have the responsibility of properly matching clients to housing units. These matches require the following activities:
• Conducting Housing Needs Assessment
• Creating Housing Budget
• Completing housing applications
• Addressing and overcoming any potential barriers to housing (no/low credit, criminal charges, lack of rental history, etc.)
• Introducing landlord to client
• Introduction to the neighborhood so the client can assess access and transportation to daily errands and supportive services
Housing Documentation
A large part of case management involves providing proper documentation to move through the housing process.

City Net case managers assist clients in obtaining the following documents needed to be housed:
• Signed HMIS Release of Information and Confidentiality Agreement • Copy of ID, Social Security Card, DD-214 (if applicable) • Homeless or Chronic Homeless Verification

• Rent Reasonableness form
• Duplication of Benefits form
Substance Use and Disorder Services
City Net currently utilizes the SBIRT assessment process, which stands for Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral, and Treatment, for its case managers to use while engaging with clients and potential clients on the streets. It has used the VI-SPDAT in the past, and is open to utilizing other screening tools and other assessments, including the SBIRT, for its work in connecting clients to the proper services. City Net creates options for unhoused, low-income individuals to receive substance use treatment that they otherwise would not receive or be able to navigate to find care.

In our Monthly Data Dashboards, the outcomes we currently measure are individuals engaged (including their realtime locations when engaged), assessments completed, referrals made to community organizations or detoxification and treatment programs (see more below), housing placements, and linkages to substance use or behavioral health treatment.

Our organization has established experience and readiness in implementing standardized screening tools to identify and document substance use disorders in alignment with funder requirements. To ensure compliance, we utilize the evidence-based SBIRT. Staff are trained and certified in SBIRT for health and behavioral health professionals, with certifications maintained in personnel records. Screening is conducted using validated tools, including the AUDIT for alcohol use and the DAST for drug use, which are completed collaboratively with clients and securely stored in the client record within our data system. Case managers document all required SBIRT components—screening results, brief interventions, and referrals—in detailed case notes, and service transactions are entered to support reporting and monitoring. This structured process ensures consistent use of screening tools, data integrity, and full alignment with contractual and reimbursement requirements.

Detoxification and Treatment Referrals
City Net has established working relationships with detoxification and substance use treatment providers to facilitate timely placement of clients into:
• Withdrawal management programs
• Medical detox services
• Residential treatment programs
• Outpatient treatment services
Outreach staff shall assist clients with program enrollment, insurance verification, and intake coordination when necessary. City Net pays for clinical care for clients through these established partnerships for detox and residential care and two months of sober living transitional housing.

City Net also has an LCSW on staff assisting with provision of care.

We currently partner with Lighthouse for detoxification and substance use treatment services, specifically the following:
• Withdraw Management/Detox
• Residential Treatment
• Partial Hospitalization
• Intensive Outpatient
• Sober Living
The team also coordinates referrals to other providers, including College Hospital, Roque Center, Phoenix House, and other community-based treatment programs based on client needs. The Lighthouse referral process includes client engagement, direct coordination with Lighthouse, completion of the DAST-10 assessment, enrollment, transportation and enrollment to both SMART/OPS programs, detox services, residential treatment, and transition EXHIBIT 1
City Council 11 – 22 10/20/2026
5 to sober living with intensive outpatient support. We are also collaborating with the CalOptima team to support treatment access and continuity of care.

Emergency Health
City Net will refer homeless neighbors to emergency health services to the extent that other customary emergency health services and treatments are unavailable or inaccessible to the homeless neighbor. An example of emergency health services to which City Net will refer homeless neighbors is outpatient treatment of urgent medical conditions by licensed medical professionals in community-based settings (e.g., streets, parks, and campgrounds) to those eligible participants unwilling or unable to access emergency shelter or an appropriate healthcare facility. City Net may assist healthcare professionals in the case management aspects of the following activities:
• Assessing health problems and developing treatment plans • Assistance in understanding health needs
• Providing directly or assisting in obtaining appropriate emergency medical treatment • Providing medication and follow-up services
Specifically, for both emergency health and mental health needs, our outreach staff coordinate with the Street Medicine team, a mobile service from CalOptima Health. When a client is identified as needing medical services, the team contacts Street Medicine to provide assessment, treatment, and linkage to ongoing care.

Emergency Mental Health
City Net will refer homeless neighbors to emergency mental health services to the extent that other customary emergency mental health services and treatments are unavailable or inaccessible to the homeless neighbor. An example of emergency health services to which City Net will refer homeless neighbors is outpatient treatment of urgent mental health conditions by licensed professionals in community-based settings (e.g., streets, parks, and campgrounds) to those eligible participants unable or unwilling to access emergency shelter or an appropriate mental health care facility. City Net may assist mental healthcare professionals in the case management aspects of the following activities:
• Crisis intervention
• Prescription of psychotropic medications
• Explanation of the use and management of medications
• Combinations of therapeutic approaches to address multiple problems City Jail Release Coordination
City Net will coordinate outreach, assessment, and service linkages for individuals experiencing homelessness who are being released from the Santa Ana City Jail, as appropriate. Upon receiving a request, staff will follow the caller’s directions regarding where and how to locate the individual. Individuals may be waiting outside the facility or in the lobby, and callers may provide identifying information to support a timely response. If the individual cannot be located outside, staff may coordinate with front desk personnel to determine whether the individual remains at or near the facility.

During designated assignments conducted in partnership with the Santa Ana Police Department, City Net staff may be permitted to meet with individuals in the jail’s secure vehicle-access area while they are being processed. Staff will engage each individual, assess their immediate needs and interest in assistance, and offer connections to appropriate resources. When an individual accepts services, City Net will complete applicable referrals and facilitate service linkages or warm handoffs. If the individual declines assistance, staff will provide or leave a City Net outreach card whenever feasible so the person can request support following release. All coordination will be conducted in accordance with facility procedures, law-enforcement direction, client choice, and staff access permissions.

Family Bridge Program
EXHIBIT 1
City Council 11 – 23 10/20/2026
6 City Net will utilize the Family Bridge Motel Component to provide immediate, short-term, non-congregate shelter for families experiencing homelessness who are engaged through street outreach efforts.

Transportation
Within budgetary constraints, the SMART Team would provide a roving transportation team to include the following services, ensuring that our street outreach and engagement teams would be able to continue providing timely response to calls for service without taking the time away from the field:
• Transporting unsheltered people to interim shelters, emergency health facilities, emergency mental health facilities, detox programs, treatment facilities, medical appointments, and/or other service facilities
• Provision of public transportation for participants
• Transportation costs (bus tickets, gas, minor car repairs, etc.) to assist homeless neighbors to relocate out of the region, provided they have permanent housing there. • Assisting program participants to use public transportation Multidisciplinary Teams
We currently have a contract with the City of Santa Ana to provide a Multidisciplinary Homeless Response Team (SMART) and a live computer-aided dispatch system that responds to diverted community line calls, City app, and/or community outreach request email addresses. These communication channels divert service requests from Santa Ana’s 911 and law enforcement agencies to our multidisciplinary team, which consists of case managers and street outreach specialists, with the ability to access/consult/ partner with LCSW clinicians and/or Drug & Alcohol Counselors. SMART provides quick responses to non-emergency homeless outreach service calls in real-time at locations where people experiencing homelessness are. Besides coordinating outreach team deployment, they track field activities, record and/or monitor calls and maintain real-time operational awareness.

The Dispatch Team and Data Team compile and report data on all calls/emails/app requests including request times, response times, contacts, engagements, positive exits, etc. Data from the Dispatch System can provide realtime data and metrics, historic data and reports, staff actions and interactions in the public, and monitoring, and are overseen by a Call Center Supervisor.

Client Screening, Eligibility, and Referrals
We use the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) intake form to assess client’s needs and determine their eligibility for services and referrals to partnering agencies in the region. We work with clients with urgency to fill out applications and provide time-sensitive support.

We develop an individualized housing plan for each participant enrolled in Housing Services. Goals are established based on meeting the unique needs of each client. This may include obtaining eligibility documentation for housing projects through the CES or obtaining vital documentation for referrals through the Housing Authorities within Orange County. We assess a client's needs based on each interaction. For example, clients who express they suffer from mental health issues that impede their ability to live independently are connected to a county clinic/resource for mental health services as part of their goal.

Once clients are screened for eligibility, they are connected to a benefits specialist and case manager.  Our team of case managers and benefits specialists are also trained in intimate partner violence training, crisis intervention training, and practice client-centered and a trauma-informed approach in assessing client’s barriers and offering support to their unique needs.

All clients engaged in the field or a referral are thoroughly screened as applicable fits for the program. The screening tool gathers thorough information about each client's situation that aids us in determining eligibility for resources within the area:
• Emergency shelter programs
• Recuperative care programs
EXHIBIT 1
City Council 11 – 24 10/20/2026
7 • Detoxification and substance use treatment programs • Crisis stabilization units
• Behavioral health services
• Medical health facilities
• County behavioral health and social service programs
Clients who do not meet the eligibility criteria are still engaged in intensive case management services. Using a client-centered approach, we meet clients exactly where they are, develop a comprehensive care plan, and determine reachable goals. The access to these services allows for continued engagement of our clients whether that be using our computers to assist in an enrollment or applications, using our phones to make necessary appointments, or utilizing our vans to take them to said appointments.

Our supervisors regularly meet with their case managers to review cases, hear summaries, and address issues. Our Senior-level staff are responsible for overall project compliance with management, operations, and public safety standards. The Program Supervisor is responsible for directing all street outreach and engagement, case management and housing navigation activities, staff management/ supervision, and project coordination. The Program Supervisor will also engage in direct services as needed in these categories to ensure that all programmatic goals and objectives are met within the operational framework of the project.

Data Collection and Reporting
City Net will track unduplicated individuals, outreach engagements, referrals/linkages, and housing placements using a structured data workflow tied to HMIS/CES and internal performance monitoring. Case Managers will complete intake and ongoing data collection in the field, documenting client demographics, needs, eligibility factors, and service interactions so records are complete, timely, and usable for reporting and system coordination—including data entry into HMIS and the County Coordinated Entry System (CES) per protocol. Each client will be tracked as an individual record to ensure counts remain unduplicated, and staff will log each outreach contact and meaningful interaction as an engagement event. When a client is connected to services, staff will document referrals and warm handoffs to partners (medical care, behavioral health, counseling, substance use treatment, benefits, etc.), capturing the type of linkage and the outcome of that connection.

City Net has substantial experience implementing and managing clear, measurable outcome measures for street outreach and homeless services, supported by strong supervision and a dedicated data function. At the program level, our supervisors are responsible for systematically monitoring productivity, compiling outcomes into accurate and clear reports, and ensuring services align with contract requirements and performance expectations. This is reinforced through routine check-ins, case conferencing, coaching, and performance reviews, which keep staff focused on engagement quality, service delivery consistency, and measurable progress toward client goals. In addition, City Net’s Data & Compliance Director leads our impact measurement and reporting systems, managing data collection and integrity, producing monthly dashboards, and developing reporting outputs for customer reporting and grant compliance—translating data into meaningful performance stories and actionable trends.

Applied to the City of Santa Ana program, this experience means the outreach team will track results using consistent HMIS/CES documentation practices and standardized service workflows, while leadership and the Data Team continuously monitor performance, validate data quality, and provide outcome reporting that demonstrates progress in engagements, referrals, linkages, and housing-focused results.

For the purposes of this contract, we will be producing Monthly reports, Quarterly performance reports, and Annual program reports. The monthly dashboard reports we produce for our contracts highlight both statistical and anecdotal evidence of program activities and outcomes.

Team Staffing
City Net will maintain a minimum of three two-person outreach teams operating in the field at all times during program hours. They will all receive and be expected to wear City Net-branded uniforms, appropriate for all weather conditions. The teams will consist of staff trained in outreach, case management, and substance use EXHIBIT 1
City Council 11 – 25 10/20/2026
8 engagement when possible. Staffing levels may be adjusted during the contract period based on program needs and City direction.

• Automobile Liability (AL): Insurance Services Office Form CA 00 01 covering Code 1 (any auto), with combined single limits of $1,000,000. In the event Consultant does not maintain commercial automobile liability insurance, City will accept evidence of personal automobile insurance, provided that such policy is endorsed for business use and provides coverage with a minimum limit of $1,000,000. Required policy limits can be met with primary and umbrella/excess insurance policies.
• Workers’ Compensation (WC): As required by the State of California, with statutory limits, and Employer’s Liability Insurance with limit of no less than $1,000,000 per accident, per employee, per policy for bodily injury or disease. This requirement can be waived if Consultant has no employees.

If Consultant maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above, City requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or the higher limits maintained by Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to City.

Other Insurance Provisions
The insurance policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:

EXHIBIT 1
City Council 11 – 38 10/20/2026

3. All required insurance policies: For any claims related to this contract, Consultant’s insurance coverage shall be primary and any insurance maintained by City, its City Council, its officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers shall not contribute with it.

4. All required insurance policies: A severability of interest provision must apply for all the additional insureds, ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom a claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability.

5. Each insurance policy required herein shall provide that coverage shall not be canceled, suspended, voided, reduced in coverage or in limits, non-renewed by the carrier, or materially changed except after thirty (30) days prior written notice has been given to City.

However, failure to obtain the required documents prior to the work beginning shall not waive Consultant’s obligation to provide them. City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements required by these specifications, at any time.

Claims Made Policies
If any of the required policies provide coverage on a claims-made basis:

1. The retroactive date must be shown and must be before the date of the contract or the beginning of work.

2. Insurance must be maintained and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least three (3) years after completion of work.

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 City Manager 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 Housing Authority Item # 4) (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.

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.

CONSULTANT WORK PLAN
EXHIBIT 1
City Council 12 – 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 12 – 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 12 – 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.
