REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
DATE: December 9, 2025
SUBJECT: CONTINUANCE OF THE PROCLAMATION OF THE EXISTENCE OF A

LOCAL EMERGENCY CAUSED BY HOMELESSNESS CRISIS
REPORT IN BRIEF:

At its meeting of November 26, 2024, the City Council adopted a resolution proclaiming the existence of a local emergency. Based on the continuing impacts of homelessness on public health and safety within the City of Stanton, the City Council’s proclamation of the existence of a local emergency will continue until further notice.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

2. Receive and file the report.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:

The City has seen an increase in its homeless population since 2019, despite significant allocation of resources and funds to combat homelessness in the City. This increase has been coupled with an increase in health and safety concerns, such as an increase in criminal activity, open-air drug use (fentanyl in particular), open fires, obscene/lewd acts in public, increase in vectors, and public defecation; individuals sleeping, camping, and storing personal property in a manner that obstructs access to the public right-of-way; interruption in the enjoyment and access to public facilities equally by all residents; and death, illness, injury and poor living conditions for those unable to find housing. In response to public health and safety concerns, at its meeting of November 26, 2024, the City Council adopted a resolution proclaiming the existence of a local emergency caused by the homelessness crisis (Attachment A).

Item: 6D
Click here to return to the agenda.

Based on the continuing impacts of homelessness on public health and safety within the City of Stanton, and pursuant to the City’s police power, the City Council’s proclamation of the existence of a local emergency will continue until further notice. The City Council previously reviewed the proclamation at its meetings of January 14, 2025, March 11, 2025, June 10, 2025, July 8, 2025, August 26, 2025, and October 14, 2025. • For the month of October 2025, City staff had at least 136 encounters with homeless individuals. Regarding offers of placement in shelters, out of 136 actions, 96% (130) resulted in homeless individuals declining shelter. The City continues to get numerous calls of concern and complaints from the following hotspot locations:
o Katella & Western
o Katella & Beach
o Chapman & Beach
o Tina Pacific
• On February 5, 2025, at approximately 12:22 a.m. there was a call for service to the Orange County Fire Authority regarding a fire at Tina Pacific. Crews responded and discovered a fire in two vacant units of a partially occupied four-plex.

Thankfully, there were no civilian or firefighter injuries. The two legitimate tenants were displaced by the fire as the four-plex was red-tagged. The four-plex was ultimately demolished.
• City staff continue to receive numerous calls regarding homeless individuals engaging in open-air drug use in front of multi-family housing units and commercial plazas.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact of declaring a local emergency is unknown at this time but it confers the powers required to provide an immediate, necessary response to the City’s homelessness crisis to protect all City residents and businesses.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The proposed actions are not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“Public Resources Code section 21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”) because they do not qualify as a “project” under CEQA. Section 15378 explicitly excludes from its definition of “project” the “organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.” (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15378(b)(5).) This action would declare a continuing local emergency under the Stanton Municipal Code and continue to empower the director and assistant director of emergency services to direct the emergency organization of the City in response to the homeless crisis. This action is considered administrative because it will not result in a physical change in the environment, and therefore is not subject to CEQA.

Moreover, the action will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable physical change in the environment, and the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:

Notification and advertisement were performed as prescribed by law.

STRATEGIC GOALS:

Goal 1. Provide a safe community.

Goal 2. Promote a strong local economy.

Goal 5. Maintain and promote a responsive, high quality and transparent government.

IN THE CITY”.

Attachment: A
Click here to return to the agenda.

BACKGROUND:

Like many other regions in California, the City of Stanton (“City”) has seen a rapid and troubling growth in homelessness in the City. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated this circumstance, which has been difficult to address given the high cost of housing and shortage of emergency, transitional, and affordable housing across the State.

The City’s Investments in Combating the Homelessness Crisis:

Independently, and in conjunction with the State’s directives to combat homelessness and address the housing crisis, the City has made significant investments in assisting its unhoused community. Additionally, the City is a member of the North Service Planning Area (“North SPA”), an organization of 14 cities in Orange County established in 2019 to combat homelessness in the region. The City’s investments include, but are not limited to the following activities, representing funding of over $15 million since 2017:
• Funding two full-time and one part-time Homeless Outreach Coordinator positions at the City, for a total cost since 2017 of just over $2 million; • Funding and welcoming three Project Homekey permanent supportive housing projects to the City, totaling 153 units, and connecting unhoused residents throughout the region to those units. The City’s contribution across the Project Homekey sites was $6 million, and was the first city in the State to open three sites in their jurisdiction;
• Funding two navigation centers in Buena Park and Placentia to provide safe and secure shelter housing as well as providing comprehensive programs and services. The City’s contribution to the centers during the first five years of operation has been approximately $660,000, and the City’s financial commitment in the next five years is estimated to be $2.5 million based on increased maintenance and operational costs;
• Funding the regional Homeless Outreach and Proactive Engagement (“HOPE”) Center of Orange County in the amount of $5 million and serving as their fiscal agent;
• Having the City Manager serve on the Board of the North SPA Collaborative; • Partnering with Illumination Foundation to expand shelter access in the region. The Illumination Foundation is an Orange County-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to providing comprehensive services for the most vulnerable homeless population; • Providing bridge housing opportunities since 2020 at just over $150,000; • Providing transportation services; and
• Providing document retrieval assistance and funding to recover important documents, to connect homeless people with resources and employment.

Additionally, the City’s law enforcement and Public Safety staff spend a disproportionate amount of time and resources addressing the City’s homelessness crisis. This causes the City’s Public Safety staff to work overtime, increasing personnel costs to the City, and exacerbating delays in addressing other public safety matters. The City’s Public Safety Department collectively devotes one-third of their time on issues related to homelessness.

The City’s Homeless Population Increase Over Time, Despite Significant Investments Despite these significant efforts, the City’s homeless population has exponentially increased since 2019. According to the County’s 2024 Point in Time Count, the City has experienced a 138 percent increase in its unsheltered population from 2019 to 2024, and a 78 percent total increase in its homeless population (including both sheltered and unsheltered individuals). (See https://ceo.ocgov.com/sites/ceo/files/2024- 05/2024%20PIT%20Summary%20-%20FINAL%205.16.24.pdf.)
Table 1. City of Stanton Point in Time Homeless Count
2019 to 2024
In contrast, the County of Orange has experienced a much smaller 7 percent increase in its homeless population since 2019, and the North SPA has experienced a 17 percent increase in its homeless population since 2019.

Table 2. % Increase in Total Homelessness
2019 to 2024
The City’s homeless population ranks as the fifth largest homeless population within the North SPA even though, geographically, it is one of smallest cities within the area at only

3.1 square miles. Only significantly larger North SPA cities (Anaheim, Fullerton, Buena Park, and Orange) have a higher homeless count. Among all 34 Orange County cities, the City’s homeless population ranks as the 11th largest.

While the City has been able to successfully refer a small number of homeless individuals to the North SPA navigation centers in the Cities of Buena Park and Placentia, those centers are now at capacity. In 2024, the City has only been able to successfully refer 18 people to the two navigation centers for assistance. County-wide, only 1 out of every 12 homeless individuals are successfully connected to housing.

Additionally, many homeless individuals also struggle with substance use disorder and serious mental illness. These are in addition to other challenges that the City is not equipped to support without the combined forces of other political subdivisions to combat, such as Orange County Behavioral Health Services, and state and federal agencies.1 The graphic, below, gives a snapshot of just some the challenges that homeless adults in Orange County face.
1 2024 Point In Time Summary, County of Orange.

Table 3. Disabling Conditions Impacting Homeless Individuals These difficulties are exacerbated by the nationwide fentanyl crisis. According to a 2024 Orange County Sheriff’s Department report2, the leading cause of death among people experiencing homelessness is accidental, with the vast majority of accidental deaths caused by drug use with fentanyl. These numbers have increased steadily since 2018. In 2021, 7 out of 8 deaths among people experiencing homelessness in Stanton were accidental.3 From 2021 to 2022, the number of deaths among people experiencing homelessness in Stanton rose by 150 percent, from 8 reported deaths to 12.4 2 Report on 2022 Orange County Homeless Deaths, Sheriff-Coroner Homeless Death Review Committee.

4 Report on 2022 Orange County Homeless Deaths, Sheriff-Coroner Homeless Death Review Committee. Orange County Sheriff’s Department.

The City must create multiple paths to address a complex and growing homelessness crisis. Like many California cities, Stanton has a continuing need for affordable, permanent housing, along with shelters and interim housing to be developed quickly to better transition people off the streets. The City also needs additional assistance from County, State, and federal agencies to address complex health and safety issues beyond the scope of its current staff and resources. Moreover, the City needs increased ability and resources to hire or contract critical roles, including candidates with specific expertise necessary to provide a critical response to the City’s homelessness crisis.

Declaring a local emergency would provide the City with greater flexibility, increased ability, and streamlined systems to address the City’s homelessness crisis with necessary urgency.

ANALYSIS/JUSTIFICATION:

Chapter 2.64 of the Stanton Municipal Code, “Emergency Organization and Functions,” allows the City Council to declare a local emergency on its own accord or at the request of the City Manager to provide for (1) the preparation and carrying out of plans for the protection of persons and property within the city in the event of an emergency; (2) the direction of the emergency organization; and (3) the coordination of the emergency functions of this city with all other public agencies, corporations, organizations, and affected private persons.

A “local emergency,” as defined under Section 2.64.020, means the actual or threatened existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within this city caused by such conditions as air pollution, fire, flood, storm, epidemic, riot, or earthquake, or other conditions which are or are likely to be beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment, and facilities of the City, requiring the combined forces of other political subdivisions to combat.

When a “local emergency” is declared by the City Council, the City Manager, as Director of Emergency Services or the City, is granted additional power and authority related to the City’s response to the local emergency. The City Manager is empowered to:
• Control and direct the effort of the emergency organization of the City for the accomplishment of addressing the local emergency;
• Direct cooperation between and coordination of services and staff of the emergency organization of the City;
• Represent the City in all dealings with public or private agencies on matters pertaining to emergencies as defined in this chapter;
• Make and issue rules and regulations on matters reasonably related to the protection of life and property as affected by such emergency; provided, however, such rules and regulations must be confirmed at the earliest practical time by the City Council;
• Obtain vital supplies, equipment, and such other properties found lacking and needed for the protection of life and property on behalf of the City, and, if required immediately, to commandeer the same for public use;
• Require emergency services of any city officer or employee and to command the aid of as many citizens of this community as he/she deems necessary in the execution of his/her duties; such persons shall be entitled to all privileges, benefits, and immunities as are provided by state law for registered disaster service workers;
• Requisition necessary personnel or material of any city department or agency; • Execute all existing authority as City Manager and all special power conferred upon him/her by the City Council, by resolution, ordinance, or emergency plan; • Appoint an Assistant Director of Emergency Services, who shall, under the supervision of the Director and with the assistance of emergency service chiefs, develop emergency plans and manage the emergency programs of the City; and shall have such other powers and duties as may be assigned by the Director.

Additionally, the City Disaster Council is empowered to develop and recommend for approval to the City Council emergency and mutual aid plans and agreements, and any ordinances, resolutions, rules, and regulations necessary to implement such plans and agreements. The Disaster Council is comprised of the Mayor, City Manager, Assistant Director of Emergency Services, Chiefs of Emergency Services, and others appointed by the Director with the advice and consent of the City Council.

By declaring a local emergency, the City Manager, Disaster Council, and City Council will be able to provide an immediate, necessary response to the City’s homelessness crisis to protect all City residents. The City’s normal hiring and contracting processes may be expedited, and the City will be able to immediately allocate necessary resources and personnel to take emergency action.

In accordance with California Government Code, Section 8630(c), the emergency declaration requires the City Council to review the need for continuing the local emergency at least every 60 days until the City Council terminates the local emergency.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The report details over $15 million in funding that has been allocated to address issues related to homelessness, including outreach services, since 2017. This fiscal impact reflects those categories of expenditures that are easily tracked and coded to homelessness efforts and initiatives. The true amount the City has expended over the years to address issues related to homelessness would be significantly larger if all personnel activities and efforts were meticulously allocated.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The proposed actions are not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“Public Resources Code section 21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”) because they do not qualify as a “project” under CEQA. Section 15378 explicitly excludes from its definition of “project” the “organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.” (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15378(b)(5).) This action would declare a local emergency under the Stanton Municipal Code and empower the director and assistant director of emergency services to direct the emergency organization of the City in response to the homeless crisis. This action is considered administrative because it will not result in a physical change in the environment, and therefore is not subject to CEQA.

Any permit that may be issued will be subject to its own CEQA analysis.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STANTON, CALIFORNIA,

PROCLAIMING THE EXISTENCE OF A LOCAL EMERGENCY CAUSED BY

CONDITIONS AND THREATENED CONDITIONS OF HOMELESSNESS WITHIN THE

CITY OF STANTON, WHICH IF NOT CORRECTED, CONSTITUTES AN IMMINENT

AND PROXIMATE THREAT TO THE SAFETY OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY IN THE CITY

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STANTON DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

WHEREAS, the City of Stanton “City” is a municipal corporation, duly organized under the constitution and laws of the State of California; and WHEREAS, California Government Code 8630, et seq., and Chapter 2.64 of Title 2 of the Stanton Municipal Code provide that the Stanton City Council (“City Council”) may proclaim local emergencies; and
WHEREAS, like many other regions in California, the City has seen a rapid and troubling growth in the homeless population of the City, a condition that has been difficult to address given the traditionally high cost of housing and property in the region, and the historic shortage of emergency, transitional, and affordable housing across the state; and WHEREAS, Executive Order N-1-24, signed by Governor Gavin Newsom on July 24, 2024, acknowledged the dire state of the homelessness crisis in California and ordered state agencies and departments to address encampments on state property. Moreover, the Executive Order ordered that local governments are encouraged to use all available resources and infrastructure, to take action with the urgency this crisis demands to humanely remove encampments from public spaces, prioritizing those encampments that most threaten the life, health, and safety of those in and around them; and WHEREAS, independently and in conjunction with the State’s directives to combat homelessness and address the housing crisis, the City has made significant investments in assisting its unhoused community. These investments include, but are not limited to:
creating and funding additional staff positions dedicated to homelessness outreach, funding and participating in regional outreach and navigation centers, expanding transportation services and shelter access in the region, and funding and welcoming three Project Homekey permanent supportive housing projects to the City totaling 153 units; and
WHEREAS, according to the City’s 2024 Point in Time Count, the City has experienced a 138 percent increase in its unsheltered population from 2019 to 2024, and a 78 percent total increase in its homeless population (including both sheltered and unsheltered individuals), despite the City’s significant investments in combating homelessness and assisting the unhoused community. In contrast, Orange County has experienced only a 7 percent increase in its homeless population since 2019, and surrounding cities have experienced significantly less homeless population growth; and WHEREAS, despite the City’s efforts to connect homeless individuals with regional assistance centers, the City has only been able to refer 18 people in the last 10 months to the regional Navigation Centers in Buena Park and Placentia due to overpopulation; and
WHEREAS, regional data shows that a significant percentage of unsheltered homeless individuals also suffer disproportionately from complex health issues, such as substance use disorder, serious mental illness, and physical disability, and require assistance from the City, Orange County Behavioral Health Services, and other local, state, and federal health agencies and nonprofit organizations to provide the necessary public services; and WHEREAS, the homelessness crisis confronting the City has grown both incrementally and exponentially, leading to death, illness, injury, and poor living conditions. According to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department Report of 2022 Orange County Homeless Deaths, 65 percent of deaths among people experiencing homelessness were caused by accidents, and the leading cause of accidental deaths is drug use with fentanyl. This is compared to 2019, when 46 percent of deaths among people experiencing homelessness were caused by accidents, and 2020, when 54 percent of deaths among people experiencing homelessness were caused by accidents, and 2021, when 59 percent of deaths among people experiencing homelessness were caused by accidents. Between 2021 and 2022, the number of deaths among people experiencing homelessness in Stanton has risen by 150 percent; and
WHEREAS, the displacement of the number of people living on the streets of the City today is a daily recurring emergency, constituting the actual or threatened existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property in the City which are beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment, and facilities of this city, and requires the combined forces of other political subdivisions to combat; and WHEREAS, notwithstanding the City’s continued commitment to addressing the homelessness crisis, including dedication of funding and investments into homelessness solutions, programs, and initiatives, an emergency declaration is necessary to mobilize resources, faster and with urgency, for the public health, welfare, and safety of all; and WHEREAS, the City’s ability to mobilize local resources, coordinate interagency response, accelerate procurement of housing units, use mutual aid, and seek assistance and potential reimbursement by the State and Federal governments will be critical to successfully responding to this homelessness crisis; and WHEREAS, during the pendency of the existence of a local emergency, the City Council shall retain its full authority to consider a variety of City ordinances to codify the measures necessary to address this homelessness crisis; and
WHEREAS, the benefits of this emergency declaration, coupled with past and future actions by the City Council to address the homelessness crisis, will help ensure that this local emergency will be of a temporary nature.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STANTON, CALIFORNIA, DOES RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE, AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1: That the foregoing Recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.

SECTION 2: The City Council finds this Resolution is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) in that the Resolution is not anticipated to result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, nor will the Resolution have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Additionally, the City Council finds that the proposed Resolution is not a “project” under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), which excludes the “organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment,” as the Resolution is not anticipated to result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment.

SECTION 3: Pursuant to California Government Code Section 8630 and Stanton Municipal Code sections 2.64.020 and 2.64.060(A)(1), the City Council hereby finds and proclaims the existence of a local emergency caused by conditions or threatened conditions of homelessness in Stanton, which, if not corrected, constitutes a threat to the safety of persons and property within the territorial limits of the City beyond the control of the services, personnel equipment, and facilities of the City, requiring the combined forces of other political subdivisions to combat.

SECTION 4: During the continued threatened existence and actual existence of the local emergency, the powers, functions and duties of the City Manager, as the Director of Emergency Services, the Assistant Director of Emergency Services, to be appointed by the Director, the Disaster Council of the City, and the emergency organization of the City shall be those prescribed by state law, by ordinances and resolutions of the City and approved by the City Council.

SECTION 5: The City Manager, as the Director of Emergency Services, is hereby authorized to furnish information, to enter into agreements, including, but not limited to, applications and agreements for grant funding, and to take all actions necessary to obtain emergency assistance from State and federal agencies to implement preventive measures to protect and preserve the City within the scope of the local emergency hereby declared, pursuant to the powers and duties prescribed under Chapter 2.64 of the Stanton Municipal Code. Pursuant to Section 2.64.090 of the Stanton Municipal Code, any expenditures made in connection with emergency activities, including mutual aid activities, shall be deemed conclusively to be for the direct protection and benefit of the inhabitants and property of the City.

SECTION 6: City staff are hereby directed to provide the City Council with a report of actions taken under this Resolution at the next practicable opportunity, and no less than on a monthly basis.

SECTION 7: The City shall coordinate its efforts to address this proclaimed emergency with the other local jurisdictions, the County of Orange, the State of California, and the federal government.

SECTION 8: Executive Order N-1-24, signed by Governor Gavin Newsom on July 24, 2024, acknowledged the dire state of the homelessness crisis in California and directed resources to state agencies and departments to address encampments. The City Council requests the Governor to proclaim a "state of emergency" to combat homelessness and direct resources to support the efforts of major cities in the State of California to address the problem, in furtherance and consistent with Executive Order N-1-24.

SECTION 9: This Proclamation of Emergency shall sunset on December 31, 2025, subject to being renewed. The setting of a specific time frame allows for actions to be taken to make permanent, necessary structural changes. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 8630, the City Council shall, by minute action, review the need for continuing the local emergency at least once every 60 days until it terminates the local emergency.

SECTION 10: Pursuant to Government Code section 3100, in protection of the health and safety and preservation of the lives and property of the people from emergencies which result in conditions of extreme peril to life, property and resources, all public employees are hereby declared disaster service workers subject to such disaster service activities as may be assigned to them by their superiors or by law.

SECTION 11: Severability. If any provision of this Resolution or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications, and to this end the provisions of this Resolution are declared to be severable.

SECTION 12: Effective Date. This Resolution shall become effective immediately. The City clerk shall attest and certify to the passage and adoption thereof.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
DATE: December 9, 2025
SUBJECT: APPROVE RESOLUTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE FISCAL YEAR 2024/25 DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE REPORT AND MAKE CERTAIN
FINDINGS PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 66000, et. seq.

REPORT IN BRIEF:

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

2. Approve Resolution No. 2025-34 to receive and file the Fiscal Year 2024/25 Development Impact Fee Report and make certain findings pursuant to Government Code Section 66006, entitled:
“A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STANTON TO RECEIVE AND FILE THE FISCAL YEAR 2024/25 DEVELOPMENT

IMPACT FEE REPORT AND MAKE CERTAIN FINDINGS, AS
REQUIRED BY CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 66000 et seq.”.

Item: 6F
Click here to return to the agenda.
2 ANALYSIS:

AB 1600 requires that local agencies annually report certain financial information related to capital improvement projects (streets, transit facilities, parks, sewer, storm drains, etc.) that have been funded by development impact fees. AB 1600 enacted California Government Code Sections 66000-66008 that generally contain four requirements:

1. A local jurisdiction must follow the process set forth in the bill and make certain determinations regarding the purpose and use of each development impact fee and establish a “nexus” or connection between a development project or class of projects and the public improvement being financed with the fee.

2. The fee revenue must be segregated from the General Fund in order to avoid the commingling of public improvement fees and General Fund revenues.

3. If the City had had possession of funds generated by development impact fees for five years or more, and has not spent such funds, or committed such funds to a project, it must make certain findings describing the continuing need to retain those funds. If the local jurisdiction is unable to make the findings required by state law, the City must refund the fees to property owners.

4. An annual report must be made of fees collected, interest earned, projects on which fees were expended, and any transfers or loans from the fee account. The report must be made available within 180 days of the end of the fiscal year and made available to interested parties at least 15 days prior to presenting the report to the agency’s governing board.

The Annual Development Impact Fee Report presented in Exhibit A summarizes the Fiscal Year 2024/25 fund activity for the following types of facilities: Streets (Fund 261), Traffic Signals (Fund 262), Community Centers (Fund 263, Police Facilities (Fund 264), and the Sewer Capacity Charges Fund (Fund 503). The report shows the amount of fees collected during Fiscal Year 2024/25, interest income, a brief description of the projects funded, the percentage of the projects funded by the development fees, and the beginning and ending balance of the funds. The plan to expend any unexpended funds for the various fees is also outlined in the attached report.

The findings required to be made by AB 1600 with respect to unexpended fees as of June 30, 2025, are set forth below:

1. The purposes for which these fees have been collected are for the projects identified in the Annual Financial Report of Development Impact Fees.

2. There is a reasonable relationship between the fees and the purposes for which they have been collected. The fees are necessary to mitigate the impacts of development.
3 3. For projects that remain incomplete as of June 30, 2025, the approximate timing for the completion of these projects is set forth in the Annual Financial Report of Development Impact Fees. The source of funding to complete these projects are existing reserves of the related funds and development impact fees anticipated to be collected in future fiscal years in amounts enough to complete these projects.

4. The City Council finds that although not yet committed to a specific project, the City needs to continue to retain the funds held in the Community Centers Fee Fund and Police Facilities Fee Fund to fund future facility projects once enough funding is accumulated.

Based on the foregoing, the City is not required to refund any fees collected pursuant to the requirements of AB 1600.

FISCAL IMPACT:

As of June 30, 2025, no refund of development impact fees is required.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

This item is not subject to California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5) (Organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment).

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney reviewed the Resolution, including Exhibit A, as to form.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:

On November 24, 2025, the City Clerk noticed all interested parties that the AB 1600 reports are available for public inspection on the City’s website.

STRATEGIC GOAL:

Goal 4. Ensure fiscal stability.

November 24, 2025
To the Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council, and Citizens of Stanton:

State law requires any local agency that imposes development impact fees to prepare an annual report providing specific information about those fees. Therefore, in accordance with the provisions of the California Government Code Section 66000 et seq., as amended by the Assembly Bill (AB) 518 and Senate Bill (SB) 1693, I hereby submit the Development Impact Fee (DIF) Report for the City of Stanton, California for the Fiscal Year (FY) ended June 30, 2025.

DIFs are charged by the local government agencies in connection with approval of development projects. The purpose of these fees is to defray all or a portion of the cost of public facilities related to the development project. The legal requirements for enactment of a DIF program are set forth in Government Code Sections 66000-66025 (the “Mitigation Fee Act”), the bulk of which was adopted as 1987’s AB 1600 and, thus, commonly referred to as “AB 1600 requirements”.

In Stanton, DIFs are collected on or before the issuance of building permit or date the certificate of occupancy is issued for the purpose of mitigating the impacts caused by new development on the City’s infrastructure. Fees are used to finance the acquisition, construction and improvement of public facilities needed as a result of this new development. A separate fund has been established to account for the impact of new development on each of the following types of facilities: Streets (Fund 261), Traffic Signals (Fund 262), Community Centers (Fund 263), and Police Facilities (Fund 264) Although not included in the City’s DIF program, this report also includes reporting for the City’s Sewer Capacity Charge fees as well to comply with California Government Code section 66013. The activity for these fees is accounted for in the Sewer Capacity Charge Fund (Fund 503).

California Government Code sections 66006 (b) and 66013 require the City prepare and make available to the public the DIF and Sewer Capacity Charge Fees Report within 180 days after the last day of each fiscal year. The City Council must review the annual report at a regularly scheduled public meeting after the information is made available to the public. The report was made available to the public for review through public notification on November 24, 2025.

Respectfully submitted,
Sharon del Rosario

1 INTRODUCTION

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE REPORTING A. California Government Code Section 66006 (b)
Government Code Section 66006 (b) defines the specific reporting requirements for local agencies that impose AB 1600 DIF on new development. Annually, for each separate fund established for the collection and expenditure of DIFs, the local agency shall, within 180 days after the last day of each fiscal year, make available to the public the information shown below for the most recent fiscal year.
 A brief description of the fee;
 The amount of the fee;
 The beginning and ending balance of the account or fund;  The amount of the fees collected, and the interest earned;  An identification of each public improvement on which fees were expended and the amount of the expenditures on each improvement, including the total percentage of the cost of the public improvement that was funded with fees;  An identification of an approximate date by which the construction of the public improvement will commence, if the local agency determines that sufficient funds have been collected to complete financing on an incomplete public improvement;  A description of each interfund transfer or loan made from the account or fund, including the public improvement on which the transferred or loaned fees will be expended, and, in the case of an interfund loan, the date on which the loan will be repaid, and the rate of interest that the account or fund will receive on the loan; and  The amount of refunds made due to insufficient funds being collected to complete financing on incomplete public improvements, and the amount of reallocation of funds made due to administrative costs of refunding unexpended revenues exceeding the amount to be refunded.

B. California Government Code Section 66001 (d)
For all funds established for the collection and expenditure of DIFs, Government Code Section 66001 (d) has additional requirements. For the fifth fiscal year following the first deposit into the fund and every five years thereafter, the local agency shall make all of the following findings with respect to that portion of the fund remaining unexpended, whether committed or uncommitted:
 Identify the purpose to which the fee is to be put;
 Demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee and purpose for which it is charged;
2  Identify all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing in incomplete improvements; and
 Designate the approximate dates on which the funding is expected to be deposited into the appropriate account or fund.

C. Additional Notes
The State of California Government Code Section 66002 states that local agencies that have developed a fee program may adopt a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) indicating the approximate location, size, and timing of projects, plus an estimate for the cost of all facilities or improvements to be financed by fees.

D. Establishing a Reasonable Relationship Between the Fee and the Purpose for Which It Is Charged
On April 12, 2011, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 977, establishing a DIF program.

The DIF fees became effective on June 12, 2011 and are applied to new or expanded commercial development, new residential development, and upon uses which intensify the use of existing commercial or residential structures. Adjustment to the fees is generally made annually in accordance with the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers. The DIF’s nexus study sets forth the relationship between contemplated future development, facilities needed to serve future development and the estimated costs for those improvements based on the current General Plan.

DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES
The City collects DIFs to offset and address the impacts of new development on facilities and infrastructure. Currently, there are four DIF categories: Streets, Traffic Signals, Community Centers, and Police Facilities. While each fee category has its own methodology for determining fees, two main principles apply throughout:
1) The City aims to maintain the existing level of service as the City continues to grow; and 2) New development should pay its fair share of the City’s infrastructure needs.

Streets – To provide for the expansion of existing primary and secondary arterial streets as set forth in the nexus study. The purpose of the streets impact fee is to fund roadway improvements to serve new development. The street impact fees will be used to widen and restripe streets to provide additional lanes. The need for street improvements is based on the trip demand placed on the system by new development.

Traffic Signals – To provide for additional traffic signals as set forth in the nexus study. The Public Works Department identified a list of traffic signals at intersections on the primary circulation system with the changes in land use and the resulted changes in number of lanes and traffic flow that will be needed to serve development within the City. Thirteen traffic signals were identified that will require improvement in order to better handle the change in traffic flow in the City due to new development.
3 Community Centers – To provide for the expansion, design and construction of community centers as set forth in the nexus study. The purpose of the fee is to ensure that new development funds its fair share of community centers, based on facilities referenced in the 2011 DIF nexus study. At the time of the nexus study, the City had three community center facilities totaling 27,660 square feet that served a population of approximately 39,000 residents. The nexus study provides for an additional 709 square feet of additional community centers per each residential population increase of 1,000.

Police Facilities – To provide an adequate level of police services. The increased need for services necessitates the construction of an additional facility in order that efficient services may be provided. As of the 2011 DIF nexus study, the Stanton Police Station included an 8,000 square foot facility for 34 police officers, which is approximately 235 square feet per sworn police officer.

As the City’s population increases due to new development, an increase in police facilities space will be needed to provide administrative support space and other police facilities for a larger police staff. Demand for services and associated facilities are based on the City’s residential population.

DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE OF SEWER CAPACITY CHARGE
The Sewer Capacity Charge fee was approved by the City Council on March 25, 2025, with the adoption of Resolution No. 2025-07. Capacity charges are one-time charges that reflect the demands and costs on City facilities created by new connections for additional capacity. The objective of the capacity charge is to create a fiscal balance between existing customers and new customers. California Government Code section 66013 (d) defines the specific reporting requirements for local agencies that impose a fee for sewer capacity charges. The local agency shall make available to the public, within 180 days after the last day of the fiscal year, the following information for that fiscal year:
 A description of the charges deposited in the fund;
 The beginning and ending balance of the account or fund and the interest earned from investment of moneys in the fund;
 The amount of charges collected in that fiscal year.
 An identification of each public improvement on which charges were expended and the amount of the expenditure for each improvement, including the total percentage of the cost of the public improvement that was funded with those charges if more than one source of funding was used;
 An identification of each public improvement on which charges were expended that was completed during that fiscal year;
 Each public improvement that is anticipated to be undertaken in the following fiscal year; and
 A description of each interfund transfer or loan made from the capital facilities fund.

The information provided, in the case of an interfund transfer, shall identify the public improvements on which the transferred moneys are, or will be expended. The information, in the case of an interfund loan, shall include the date on which the loan will be repaid, and the rate of interest that fund will receive on the loan. 4 FEE SCHEDULE

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
DATE: December 9, 2025
SUBJECT: LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH ORANGE COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL

DISTRICT FOR STANTON STORM CHANNEL BRIDGE AT STANTON
PARK
REPORT IN BRIEF:

The replacement of the pedestrian bridge at Stanton Park required the City to obtain an encroachment permit from the Orange County Flood Control District, which included a condition that the City enter into this License Agreement. The agreement has a ten-year term, and the City is required to pay the Orange County Flood Control District a one-time fee of $5,500 for the duration of the license.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

2. Approve the Orange County Flood Control District License Agreement to allow the placement of a pedestrian bridge over the Stanton Storm Channel (District Facility No.

C02S01) for a ten-year term; and

3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the License Agreement with Orange County Flood Control District.

BACKGROUND:

In late June 2023, a vehicle collided with a pedestrian bridge spanning the Stanton Storm Drain Channel at Stanton Park, causing significant damage to the bridge. Due to immediate safety concerns, the bridge was promptly closed and secured.

On May 27, 2025, the City Council accepted the completion of the replacement for the pedestrian bridge. The replacement of the pedestrian bridge required the City to obtain an encroachment permit from the Orange County Flood Control District, which included a condition that the City enter into this License Agreement.

Item: 6G
Click here to return to the agenda.
2 ANALYSIS/JUSTIFICATION:

The City may enter into a License Agreement with the Orange County Flood Control District to continue to allow the installation of a pedestrian bridge over the Stanton Storm Channel. The proposed agreement includes a ten-year term, a one-time license fee of $3,000, and a one-time administrative fee of $2,500, for a total cost of $5,500 over the duration of the license.

After the initial ten-year license term is completed, an extension of the agreement potentially up to 50 years will require approval from the Orange County Board of Supervisors, which will include an additional administrative fee. With respect to the license fee, because the pedestrian bridge serves public use, the Orange County Flood Control District typically applies only minimal increases of no more than approximately 2%.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total cost of the ten-year agreement is $5,500. During the mid-year annual budget review, the current Fiscal Year 2025/2026 operating budget will be evaluated to determine if additional appropriations are needed for this new license agreement in Account No. 101-3100-608100.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

This action requested in this report is categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15061 (b)(3) as the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing significant effect on the environment.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed the License Agreement.

STRATEGIC GOAL:

Goal 3. Provide quality infrastructure.

The Santa Ana and San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Boards have issued National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits (“Stormwater Permits”) to the County of Orange, and to the Orange County Flood Control District and cities within Orange County, as co-permittees (hereinafter collectively referred to as “County Parties”) which regulate the discharge of urban runoff from areas within the District of Orange, including the License Areas and Access Area under this License. The County Parties have enacted water quality ordinances that prohibit conditions and activities that may result in polluted runoff being discharged into the Stormwater Drainage System.

To assure compliance with the Stormwater Permits and water quality ordinances, the County Parties have developed a Drainage Area Management Plan (“DAMP”) which includes a Local Implementation Plan (“LIP”) for each jurisdiction that contains Best Management Practices (“BMPs”) that parties using properties within Orange County must adhere to. As used herein, a BMP is defined as a technique, measure,

Page 11 of 23 ends

Stanton Storm Channel Bridge License from OCFCD
Parcel No. 450
Dodd 2025 - 11
or structural control that is used for a given set of conditions to manage the quantity and improve the quality of storm water runoff in a cost effective manner. These BMPs are found within the County’s LIP in the form of Model Maintenance Procedures and BMP Fact Sheets (the Model Maintenance Procedures and BMP Fact Sheets contained in the DAMP/LIP shall be referred to hereinafter collectively as “BMP Fact Sheets”) and contain pollution prevention and source control techniques to eliminate non-storm water discharges and minimize the impact of pollutants on stormwater runoff.

BMP Fact Sheets that apply to uses authorized under this License include the BMP Fact Sheets that are attached hereto and by reference made a part hereof as Exhibit B, which exhibit is attached hereto and by reference made a part hereof. These BMP Fact Sheets may be modified during the term of the License; and the Director of Orange County Public Works or Licensor shall provide Licensee with any such modified BMP Fact Sheets.

Licensee, agents, contractors, representatives, and employees and all persons authorized by Licensee to conduct activities on the License Area shall, throughout the term of this License, comply with the BMP Fact Sheets as they exist now or are modified, and shall comply with all other requirements of the Stormwater Permits, as they exist at the time this License commences or as the Stormwater Permits may be modified. The BMPs applicable to uses authorized under this License must be performed as described within all applicable BMP Fact Sheets.

Licensee may propose alternative BMPs that meet or exceed the pollution prevention performance of the BMP Fact Sheets. Any such alternative BMPs shall be submitted to the Director of Orange County Public Works or Licensor for review and approval prior to implementation.

The Director of Orange County Public Works or authorized representative may enter the License Area and Access Area and/or review Licensee’s records at any time to assure that activities conducted on the License Area and Access Area comply with the requirements of this Clause 22 (BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES).

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
DATE: December 9, 2025
SUBJECT: AWARD A PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT FOR THE VIA

IRANA AND VIA KANNELA SEWER REPLACEMENT AND STREET

IMPROVEMENT DESIGN PROJECT
REPORT IN BRIEF:

The City’s annual sewer rehabilitation project, per the Sewer Master Plan, for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 identified rehabilitating approximately 1,509 linear feet of existing 8-inch sewer pipe on Via Irana and Via Kannela and resurfacing the streets as construction for the sewer pipe replacement will severely impact the street conditions. Staff recommends awarding a Professional Services Agreement to RKA Consulting Group for professional design services for the Via Irana and Via Kannela Sewer Replacement and Street Improvement Project.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

3. Authorize the City Manager to bind the City of Stanton and RKA Consulting Group in an Agreement to provide the services; and

4. Authorize the City Manager to approve a contingency, in the amount of $10,515 to RKA Consulting Group.

Item: 6H
Click here to return to the agenda.
2 BACKGROUND:

On July 9, 2024, the City adopted the 2024 Sewer Master Plan Update which assessed the capacity and condition of the City’s sewer collection system which incorporated housing element information and provided recommendations to address deficiencies. The Master Plan Update recommended sewer improvement projects to be constructed over the next 10 years.

The Via Irana and Via Kannela Sewer Replacement and Street Improvement Project consists of replacing approximately 1,509 linear feet of existing 8-inch sewer pipe, rehabilitating existing manholes, reconnection of service laterals, and if necessary, a bypass pumping plan and rehabilitating existing asphalt pavement in the street. The current pavement conditions for both streets are good; however, construction will severely impact the condition of the pavement after replacing the sewer lines.

ANALYSIS/JUSTIFICATION:

A Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued on September 18, 2025, with a proposal due date of October 16, 2025 and ten firms provided proposals.

An internal City review committee consisting of the Assistant City Engineer, Civil Engineer, and Senior Public Works Inspector evaluated the proposals. The review committee established their scoring and ranking on criteria that included staffing capabilities & technical competence, approach to work, past performance demonstrating record of success and qualifications, and cost. The consultants were ranked as follows:

Rank Consultant Fee Proposal
1 RKA Consulting Group $ 105,145.00
2 Tait & Associates, Inc. $ 99,610.00
3 Willdan $ 115,750.00
4 West & Associates Engineering, Inc. $ 81,500.00
5 Hunsaker & Associates Irvine, Inc. $ 129,630.00
6 Harris & Associates, Inc. $ 165,705.50
7 PSOMAS $ 230,802.00
8 TKE Engineering, Inc. $ 175,770.00
9 Dokken Engineering $ 213,545.00
10 Dudek $ 227,148.00
3 Per the City’s Purchasing and Contracting Guidelines, proposals must be evaluated using the Qualification-Based Selection process in accordance with Public Law 92-582, which requires that the selection of professional services be based on demonstrated competence and the professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services at a fair and reasonable price.

Based on the results of the RFP process, RKA Consulting Group demonstrates competence through their proposal and is qualified to provide design services for the project. RKA Consulting Group successfully completed the design for the FY 24/25 Sewer Rehabilitation Project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Fiscal Year 2025-26 Adopted Operating Budget includes $180,000 for design of the Via Irana and Via Kannela Sewer Replacement and Street Improvement Project (Annual Sewer Rehabilitation Project, Task Code 2026-301). The following table presents an estimated breakdown of the total project cost:

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The project is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), Class 1, Section 15301(b) as maintenance, repair and minor alteration of existing publicly owned sewer utilities and Class 1, Section 15301(c) as repair, maintenance, and minor alteration of existing streets, sidewalks, gutters, and similar facilities.

II. PROJECT BACKGROUND
The 2024 Sewer Master Plan Update and found that overall, the City’s sewer system has sufficient capacity. It also describes the negligible impact of additional wastewater flow from Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and discusses how the Master Plan Update accounted for the additional flow that would be generated by new housing units required to meet the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). Additionally, the pipeline condition assessment summarized that approximately 35% of sewer pipelines require improvements such as point repairs, rehabilitation or replacement. The City is looking to design sewer replacement and street improvements of the limits below:

Street Name Start End
Via Irana End/Cul-De-Sac Approximately 900 ft. from
End/Cul-De-Sac
Via Kannela End/Cul-De-Sac Via Jardin
Sewer: 2024 Sewer Master Plan CIP-002 consists of replacing approximately 1,509 linear feet of existing 8-inch concrete pipe gravity flow, rehabilitate exiting manholes, reconnection of service laterals and if necessary, a By-pass pumping plan. Prior to commencing design, it is recommended to review the 2024 Sewer Master Plan and CCTV videos for each segment of sewer pipe to perform a verification of improvements. The 2024 Sewer Master Plan is available for review on the City’s website. CCTV videos and reports will be available for the awarded consultant.
