PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
DATE: JUNE 6, 2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JAMIE LAI, P.E., DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER PREPARED BY: AUSTIN POSTOVOIT, SENIOR MANAGEMENT ANALYST SUBJECT: CANCELLATION OF STREET LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPE
MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT (LMAD) SPECIAL
ASSESSMENT FEES FOR MULTIPLE ASSESSMENT YEARS FOR APN
351-561-45, APN 341-311-42 and APN 341-311-45
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Cancel the Street Lighting and Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (LMAD) special assessment fees for assessment year 2017 for APN 351-561-45, and
2. Cancel the LMAD special assessment fees from years 2017-2022 for APN 341-311- 42 and APN 341-311-45, and
3. Direct staff to provide written authorization to the Office of the Treasurer-Tax Collector to remove the specified charges.
BACKGROUND
The City’s Street Lighting and Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (LMAD) was formed pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (’72 Act), which is included in the State of California Streets and Highways Code Division 15, Part 2, and the provisions of the California Constitution, Article XIII D (commonly referred to as Proposition 218). Under such provisions, the City annually levies and collects special assessments for the City’s LMAD in order to provide and maintain various landscaping, lighting and traffic signal improvements throughout the City that provide benefits to properties within the LMAD. As part of this process, the City annually submits the assessment amounts for each parcel by APN to the Orange County Auditor/Controller’s Office for placement on the annual property tax roll.
At any point, the County may notify the City of parcels on which the County requests that the City remove the LMAD assessment. The County makes such requests when the property taxes on the property are delinquent and have not been paid for a number of years. In the usual course, the County proceeds to auction off the properties for failing to pay the taxes; however, the County does not auction parcels that are tax exempt or government owned.

DISCUSSION
On March 2, 2023, the City received a request from the Office of the Treasurer-Tax Collector (County) to consider cancellation of LMAD special assessment fees for APN 351-561-45 from assessment year 2017. The same letter contained a request to consider cancellation of LMAD special assessment fees for APN 341-311-42 and APN 341-311-45 for assessment years 2017-2022. Since two of the parcels have a prior year delinquency, as a result of the outstanding LMAD special assessment fees, the County also requested that staff research the issue.
Research indicated that parcel 351-561-45 was assessed one time in fiscal year 2017/2018, but in subsequent years was correctly identified as being a parcel with no development potential. Furthermore, the parcel is a part of a Homeowner’s Association Owned trail and has been made exempt. The parcel is located within LMAD Local Landscaping Zone L-2M, between Millstone Place and Clearwater Drive, North of Esperanza Road.
Parcels 341-311-42 and 341-311-45 are located within LMAD Arterial Landscaping Zone A8, along Greenwich Circle and Windemere Drive respectively, North of Buena Vista Avenue.
Consultant staff researched the assessment and classification history for these parcels and determined that while the County assessment roll classified the APN’s as Single Family Residential, they are in fact lettered lots containing oil well facilities. Consultant staff have recommended that the land use classification for this parcel be revised to “exempt” (not to be assessed) as a part of a corrective action to County on the assessment roll. If the proposed change is not incorporated, there is a low likelihood of compelling these assessments to be paid.
Based on the prior reclassification of the parcel’s land use and its existing delinquent status, staff is recommending cancellation of the subject parcels’ special assessment fees for the assessment years previously listed. This action will allow the County to remove these properties from the auction list. The County cannot auction parcels that are tax exempt, unless the originating agency (the City in this case), provides written authorization.
Therefore, staff is also recommending Council direct staff or it’s consultant to provide such written authorization to comply with the County procedures.
FISCAL IMPACT
Cancellation of the special assessment fees for assessment years in question amounts to a total revenue loss of $893.46, within the LMAD Assessment Revenue Account (2015110- 382010). However, based on its existing delinquent status, there is a low potential of recovering such fees.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council could determine to not approve the cancellation of the special assessment fees, which would leave the assessments on this parcel and the parcel would continue to be
C A N C E L L A T I O N O F S T R E E T L I G H T I N G A N D L A N D S C A P E

in a tax default status. Based on the previous reclassification of the land use classification of this parcel, staff does not recommend this alternative.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL
FROM: JAMIE LAI, P.E. PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER PREPARED BY: RICK YEE, P.E., DEPUTY PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH BKF
ENGINEERS FOR ADDITIONAL DESIGN SERVICES ON THE YORBA
LINDA BOULEVARD IMPROVEMENTS FROM IMPERIAL HIGHWAY TO
LAKEVIEW AVENUE
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve a supplemental budget appropriation in the amount of $76,900 from the Measure M2 Fund (212) with a corresponding increase to the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget for Project SI201001; and
2. Approve an amendment to the Professional Services Contract with BKF Engineers in the amount of $216,725 for additional design services needed to meet the ultimate capacity needs for the intersections of Yorba Linda Boulevard with Imperial Highway and Lakeview Avenue; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to approve additional expenditures of up to $32,509 (15% of the requested amendment amount) in additional contract contingencies for unforeseen additional services that may be necessary during design; and
4. Authorize the City Manager to sign and execute the amendment to the professional service agreement and potential future amendments to the agreement within the designated contingency amount, on behalf of the City Council.
BACKGROUND
In June 2022, the City Council approved a professional services contract with BKF Engineers for design and environmental documentation of the subject project. The design scope included the addition of 2nd left turn pockets in the east-west direction to improve circulation through the intersections of Yorba Linda Boulevard with Imperial Highway and Lakeview Avenue.

DISCUSSION
Since the time of contract award, conceptual design has progressed, and additional traffic analyses were performed. As a result of recent traffic analyses, it was determined that the right turn movement from Eastbound Yorba Linda Boulevard to Southbound Imperial Highway now meets the threshold for a dedicated right turn pocket. The addition of this scope would change the extent of engineering design as it would necessitate a more comprehensive geotechnical investigation and structural design along with an expanded scope of environmental services. The primary difference is the current project scope can be built without triggering the need for retaining walls. The expanded project will require construction of the roadway onto an existing slope and therefore requires retaining walls to support the expanded roadway section. The expanded project will also require additional right of way on the south side of Yorba Linda Boulevard west of Imperial Highway. Below in Table 1 is a summary of overall project costs including the prior and proposed amendment for the project.
Table 1
Original Contract Amount $429,132
Amendment No. 1 (Change Order No. 1) $7,200
Amendment No. 2 $216,725
Subtotal $653,057
15% Contingency $32,509
Total $685,566
FISCAL IMPACT
There is currently an available unencumbered balance programmed within the SI201001 Project budget under Account No. 4010050-461620. This amount is proposed to fund a portion of the proposed amendment request of $216,725, while the balance is proposed to be appropriated from the Measure M2 fund balance. The total amendment request including the 15% contingency would amount to $249,234. An appropriation request of $76,900 from the Measure M2 (212) Fund, with a corresponding increase to the CIP Fund under the SI201001 project budget will be necessary to fund the recommended action.
ALTERNATIVES
Do not approve the recommended amendment. However, the scope would not adequately address the circulation improvements needed for future growth anticipated at this intersection.

I am available to expand on any portion of our proposal and answer any further questions. Please feel free to contact me during the selection process at (949) 526-8462. We look forward to continuing our relationship with the City of Yorba Linda and discussing this Project in more detail.
Sincerely,
BKF ENGINEERS

Jeffrey / Walnut Intersection Improvement Project
IRVINE, CA
BKF prepared construction documents for the street
improvements/widening to the Jeffrey Road and Walnut Avenue intersection. BKF led all civil engineering, surveying, right of way engineering, and third party utility coordination. The Jeffrey/ Walnut Intersection Improvement Project required the widening of Jeffrey Road. This widening required roadway easements and temporary construction easements through several properties.
BKF, along with the City, developed and prepared the right of way requirements map and matrix that is color-coded depending on the type of acquirement with the affected square footages identified within their property. The City utilized these scaled exhibits to negotiate and discuss the impacts the project has on their property with the owners. BKF researched and coordinated with the third party utility companies to accurately map the existing facilities within the Project limits. Several relocations needed to occur to support the new improvements which
were discussed/agreed to in the field with the utility companies through BKF’s pro-active efforts. BKF worked closely with the City to ensure traffic interruptions were minimized and existing traffic signals remained operational until the new traffic signals are in place through construction staging.

19 Trabuco/Remington Traffic Signal Project
IRVINE, CA
The City of Irvine Trabuco/Remington Traffic Signal consists of the Project Report PS&E. Trabuco Road features two lanes in each direction, bike lanes, and left-turn lanes, with the 60-foot wide Central Irvine Channel as a median. Remington Street consists of one lane in each direction that is stop controlled.
With the 60-foot wide channel, Remington Street has an
additional segment to cross one direction of traffic, stop, and proceed to cross the other direction of traffic before completing the traffic movement. The Trabuco/Remington intersection is similar to the adjacent intersections at Monroe and Yale, which prompted the City of Irvine to monitor the Trabuco/Remington intersection and determine that a traffic signal is warranted to promote safety.
The project includes the design of improvements to the Central Irvine Channel, an Orange County Flood Control District Facility.
The improvements will consist of an extension of the existing reinforced concrete box culvert beneath the intersection, the reconstruction of the inlet transition structure, and a longitudinal wall within the channel right of way. BKF performed hydraulic analyses of pre-and post-project conditions, prepared the improvement plans and specifications, and prepared the submittal package for the acquisition of an Encroachment Permit from the County of Orange.

City of Yorba Linda - Yorba Linda Boulevard
Improvements (from Imperial Highway to Lakeview Ave) 21 BKF ENGINEERS F. / PROJECT UNDERSTANDING, OVERVIEW + APPROACH
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The current segment of Yorba Linda Boulevard between Imperial Highway and Lakeview Avenue is an east-west six-lane arterial highway. The westbound is improved with three continuous through lanes, two right-turn lanes to Imperial Highway northbound and one left-turn lane to Imperial Highway south bound. The Yorba Linda Boulevard east bound is improved with two continuous through lanes, one left turn lane and one through/right turn lane. The center median is striped except at the intersection where raised center median were constructed. The two intersections are only approximately 600 feet apart with heavy turning movements that often cause congestion at these intersections during the morning and evening peak commute periods. Currently the left turn pockets have limited storage capacity. As the traffic volume increases, it impacts the traffic flow at the through lanes as vehicles waiting to get into the left turn pocket.
The City of Yorba Linda (City) is seeking a consultant to provide comprehensive professional engineering services associated with the design and construction of street improvements and enhancements along Yorba Linda Boulevard from Imperial Highway to Lakeview Avenue to add a second left turn pocket in both the east and west directions at the Yorba Linda Boulevard/Imperial Highway intersection and the Yorba Linda Boulevard/Lakeview Avenue intersection. The improvements will provide greater travel efficiency and accommodate the demand generated by the Yorba Linda Town Center and improved traffic circulation in and out of the Town Center via Imperial Highway and Lakeview Avenue. The businesses in the area will benefit from the improved intersection operation to attract more traffic and thus increase local sales revenues.
The adjacent developments are commercial, retail, office, and restaurant land uses. This segment of Yorba Linda Boulevard provides primary access to these developments where many people work, shop and dine. The intersections with Imperial Highway and Lakeview Avenue are signalized, with posted speed of 40 MPH. There is an existing bus stop without concrete pads adjacent to Mimi's Cafe on the north side of Yorba Linda Boulevard approximately 240 feet west of the Imperial Highway. There is an existing storm drain catch basin also located on the north side of Yorba Linda Boulevard approximately 100 feet west of Imperial Highway. There are street lights and underground utilities within the street right of way including water and sewer lines. All four crosswalks at the Imperial Highway intersection are paved with decorative pavers and at the Lakeview Avenue intersection the striped cross walks are only present on east the north, east and south sides of the intersection. There is no crosswalk on the west side of the intersection.
This project will include the construction of raised center median islands on Yorba Linda Boulevard for the entire length of the project between Imperial Highway and Lakeview Avenue as shown on the Project Geometric Exhibit of the RFP. Yorba Linda Boulevard will be designed to a section generally consisting of a 4-foot-wide landscaped raise median, two 10-foot-wide left turn pockets, 11-foot-wide through lanes and a 8-foot-wide sidewalk.
Generally, the improvements will require right of way takes on the south side of Yorba Linda Boulevard. Some minor right of way takes will also require on the north side of Yorba Linda Boulevard west of Imperial Highway.

Improvements (from Imperial Highway to Lakeview Ave) 22 BKF ENGINEERS F. / PROJECT UNDERSTANDING, OVERVIEW + APPROACH
Other improvements as part of implementation of the Project will include, but not limited to, removal and reconstruction of concrete curb and gutter, ADA accessible ramps with detectable warning surface, driveway approaches and sidewalks, retaining walls, miscellaneous utility adjustments, striping, pavement markings, signage improvements, street lights relocation, street trees removal, add and restore landscape, and traffic signal modifications include adding camera video detection at both intersections. It is our understanding that traffic control plans and SWPPP documents will be prepared by the contractor, if necessary.
We understand that it is the City’s intent to complete the engineering design and environmental phases of the Project. The proposal shall include engineering design (PS&E), environmental documentation, and as-needed bid and construction support services. The City intends to pursue funds for right of way and construction after the completion of the design phase.
Consulting services for the Project will include: project management including preparation of all meeting agenda and recording and distribution of all meeting minutes; site reconnaissance; utilities research; design survey and right of way research; prepare environmental documents; prepare a Final Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP); design of street and raised median improvements; coordination for utility adjustment; curb and gutter, ADA access ramp, sidewalk, and driveway design; landscape and irrigation design; signing and striping improvements; traffic signal modifications; preparation of bid documents; specifications and an engineer’s estimate of probable construction costs; bid and construction support; prepare right of way exhibits and/or rendering on affected properties for outreach purposes; attend one in-person and one virtual public outreach meetings. We included Ninyo and Moore on our team to provide review and concurrence of the previous geotechnical evaluation performed as part of the Town Center development.
PROJECT KEY ISSUES AND APPROACH
Understanding and managing the key issues associated with the project will be critical to the success of this design assignment. We have visited the project site and reviewed the materials provided with the RFP and City response to RFP questions to familiarize ourselves with the existing improvements and project implementation issues. We have identified the following issues that will need special attention with this Project. • Environmental Document – The critical path for successful completion of this project will rely on timely environmental studies, applications, and approvals. LSA will prepare an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15070, as amended to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of the project including anticipated transportation/traffic impacts as results of changes in circulation. Since this phase of the Project does not include any Federal funding, the proposed scope of work does not include any environmental analysis to comply with Federal regulations. This task will include preparation of a biological resources memorandum, a cultural resources memorandum, a Paleontological memorandum, an air quality/greenhouse gas analysis memorandum and noise impact memorandum and attendance at one public outreach meeting and three commission/council meetings to support the MND. • Landscape and Irrigation Design – Our landscape subconsultant, MIG, is highly familiar with the City of Yorba Linda’s Landscape Maintenance District (LMAD). MIG will create a sustainable design by using indigenous and drought resistant materials where appropriate as well as complementing the existing plant palette to match LMAD/ Town Center design. We understand the City is interested in a plant palette which is sustainable and integrates into current design standards, and a design solution which allows for safety for both motorists and pedestrians.
We look for additional sustainable design options such as using recycled water systems with evapotranspiration controllers, solar powered lighting, site amenities from recycled materials, and incorporating bioswales whenever possible and feasible in the design process.
City of Yorba Linda - Yorba Linda Boulevard
Improvements (from Imperial Highway to Lakeview Ave) 23 BKF ENGINEERS F. / PROJECT UNDERSTANDING, OVERVIEW + APPROACH
The planting of the new medians will require the existing asphaltic concrete and or concrete paving and base material to be removed in order to provide adequate soil depth for shrubs to root and establish. The existing soil under the existing AC or PCC roadway will need to be tested for soil fertility to confirm no sterilant or contamination are in the soil. The soil will be amended per the soils report prior to any plant material being installed. Typically, several feet of existing soil might need to be removed and new topsoil installed depending on what the testing finds.
From a traffic calming and safety design point, MIG shall consider site visibility at left turn lanes as far as not proposing tall shrub material at the left turn medians which would impede visibility of opposing through traffic by left-turning motorists. We will also consider the maintenance of the medians as far as including a walking surface area adjacent to the curb to keep maintenance person from having to walk in the street. We will consider the type of trees to be low maintenance and to require little pruning. • Coordination with Other Stakeholders and Community Outreach – This Project will involve coordination with several stakeholders in addition to the City’s Department of Public Works. The Project will require coordination with local businesses adjacent to the project, the traveling public and the community at large. The Project may also involve coordination with utility companies for new irrigation electrical and water service and operators of project area bus service. The BKF Team will communicate with these stakeholders in the early stages of the project to gain an understanding of their needs and concerns. BKF Team including our landscape and environmental subconsultants will maintain open communications with these stakeholders throughout the life of the project to reduce the likelihood of unanticipated issues in the late project stages that could significantly delay the project schedule. The Project will require several forms of public outreach ranging from community meetings to formal City Council Public Hearings.
BKF Team project manager, has been the lead person responsible for public outreach and interface with project stakeholders for many similar projects in the past. This experience will ensure effective communication with the City and assist the City with the development of effective communication with the project stakeholders. • Traffic Safety and Construction Impacts to Residents and Businesses Owners – Due to the volume of traffic and adjacent commercial areas, it will be critical to minimize construction impacts. BKF will identify traffic control implementation measures on the plans, and in the specifications to closely monitor the contractor’s work and progress to ensure compliance with any mitigation measures and schedule constraints. The specifications will address circulation and access during construction. BKF will include provisions that will require the contractor to maintain safe pedestrian access at all times during construction. Specific items that BKF will address in the specifications will include, but are not limited to working hours, temporary lane closure hours and restrictions, identification of traffic control standards, emergency vehicle access, and maintaining access to local businesses.

Improvements (from Imperial Highway to Lakeview Ave) 26 BKF ENGINEERS F. / PROJECT UNDERSTANDING, OVERVIEW + APPROACH
We understand that managing, building consensus, and obtaining project approvals and permits are often more challenging than preparing the actual design documents. Ensuring that these processes are managed will allow projects to be delivered on schedule and within budget.
BKF’s management philosophy integrates the following key components: managing the process; defining the critical issues; developing coordinated design documents; and validating implementation.
COMPONENT 1: MANAGING THE PROCESS
▪ PROJECT WORK PROGRAM: Upon the City’s Notice to Proceed (NTP) BKF’s Principal in Charge, Chris Rideout, PE and Project Manager, Sheila Amparo, PE, QSD will be available to meet and review the Project goals and based on the specific tasks, will assign a team who will be committed to the Project for the duration. We will develop a detailed project work program that identifies tasks, permits, and deliverables tailored to deliver the Project. We intend for this work program to be a living document that we update regularly to reflect the progress and needs of the Project.
▪ DEFINED SCHEDULE: We will develop our work program with reference to a schedule in Microsoft Project format.
Sheila will update the schedule with the completion of each phase, discuss and gain concurrence with the City. The schedule is a critical tool for the Project Team, City, and other Stakeholders to ensure all agree to the tasks and delivery dates. It is imperative to regularly review the baseline schedule and identify any potential tasks that are slipping behind schedule. If this situation occurs, Sheila will work with the team to establish a recovery plan to bring the design schedule back into alignment with the baseline schedule. This recovery schedule will be discussed with the City to ensure concurrence moving forward.
▪ DESIGN FEE: The BKF Team had develop a fee for our services based on the agreed to scope of services and schedule.
COMPONENT 2: DEFINING CRITICAL ISSUES
▪ CRITICAL CONSIDERATIONS: For street/roadway projects, the Project Team will prepare geometric alignment studies to ensure the objective and standards for the improvements are adequately addressed. This early establishment and agreement with the City on the geometrics will allow the Project Team to identify critical issues, such as right of way acquisitions and utility relocations that require lengthy lead times that may affect the Project schedule and budget.
▪ DEFINING CONSTRUCTION RISK: Risk assessment is key to managing the overall construction budget. Our experience is that characterizing subsurface soils and utilities is critical to managing unknowns that could lead to contractor change order and/or delays. BKF will work with City Staff to identify on any environmental considerations/ mitigations early on in the project to ensure the project stays on schedule and can meet the environmental needs of the project as the design is developed. Comprehensive Construction Staging and Traffic Handling plans depicting vehicle/pedestrian circulation as well as efficient Contractor work areas are critical in clearly showing the intent/limit of any closures.
▪ STAKEHOLDERS: Understanding the concerns of the Project’s stakeholders at the earliest stage in the design process is essential to prevent delays or conflicts. BKF will coordinate and attend all meetings to understand goals and objectives of all stakeholders and confirm they are aligned properly with the City. Engaging all stakeholders from the beginning of the design process through construction will minimize misunderstandings and will result in a project that meets all objectives.

COMPONENT 3: DEVELOPING COORDINATED DESIGN DOCUMENTS
▪ COORDINATION: The communication conduit with the City will be with Sheila Amparo, PE, QSD, Project Manager.
This single point of contact eliminates possible misunderstandings and duplication of effort. We will assign a Deputy Project Manager to each engagement depending on the expertise needed. This team will be responsible for solving technical challenges while developing the design in accordance with the City’s goals. We will coordinate the work with other consultants, Staff, and other agencies to ensure collaboration and obtain Project approvals. ▪ COORDINATING AGENCIES: BKF’s experience with public infrastructure projects has taught the value of having clear direct communication and of being accessible at all times during critical project stages. We believe our working relationships with local, state and federal agencies will allow us to streamline the process by minimizing costly lags in communication.
▪ TECHNOLOGY: BKF implements the latest technology to develop designs including AutoCAD Civil 3D. We also have specialized simulation software to assist in the design of infrastructure including AutoTurn, StormCAD, WaterCAD, SewerCAD, HEC HMS, and HEC RAS. For preparation of illustrative exhibits, we have Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. All staff has access to the most current Microsoft Office applications suite.
COMPONENT 4: VALIDATING IMPLEMENTATION
▪ INTERNAL QA/QC: BKF will complete an internal review of all project documents. Under direct communication with Sheila, Roger Chung, PE, CFM, ENV SP, QSD/P, F. ASCE (QA/QC) will check the documents for errors, perform a constructability review, ensure our documents are coordinated with other disciplines, and suggest alternatives for cost savings. During this period all consultants on the team are required to review not only their own work, but evaluate the other disciplines designs to ensure there are no conflicts and design intent is consistent among the team members. Please see the QA/QC flowchart at the end of this section. ▪ PROBABLE CONSTRUCTION COST: Evaluating the potential construction cost throughout the Project’s life is essential to create a feasible project. BKF is consistently involved in the design and construction of numerous projects each month that provide excellent insight into construction trends and costs. With each submittal, BKF will prepare an opinion of cost to assist in developing a project budget.
With BKF’s four-component approach, a detailed work plan, and continually monitoring, we believe that partnering is both aligned and reinforced. This ensures that the City together with BKF’s leadership and the team’s technical expertise, will meet its goals and objectives for a successful Project.

SAMPLE PROJECT SCHEDULE
City of Yorba Linda - Yorba Linda Boulevard
Improvements (from Imperial Highway to Lakeview Ave) 29 BKF ENGINEERS F. / PROJECT UNDERSTANDING, OVERVIEW + APPROACH
▪ SCHEDULE RECOVERY: If a delay in the schedule is encountered, either by the stakeholders or by the design team, BKF will develop a comprehensive revised schedule to bring the project back in compliance with the project delivery date. BKF will develop this plan, gain commitment from sub-consultants and present and gain agreement from the City. The plan will include staffing augmentations, possible concurrent activities, and a monitoring mechanism to ensure the schedule recovery remains on track. BKF’s employees are experienced in all aspects of municipal projects, which allow us to easily share staff across design teams to avoid slippage in schedules.
COST CONTROL
▪ PROGRESS REPORTS: Our Project Manager, Sheila Amparo, PE, QSD/P, will provide progress reports to the City to demonstrate the team is tracking with the project schedule. These reports will be comprehensive in nature to keep all design team members, City, and project Stakeholders appraised of the status of various tasks, any schedule slippage, and corrective measures to bring the schedule back to the baseline. If a change in the scope of services is necessary, BKF will provide the City with a written addendum request to the City, and will not begin work until the City is in agreement with the amendment.
▪ CONSTRUCTION COST: BKF integrates cost estimates for each milestone delivery and compares to the baseline costs established early on in the project. BKF understands there are finite budgets associated with these capital improvement projects and will track and tailor the design accordingly. As stakeholders are engaged, scope creep can occur and BKF will identify any new project elements that are being introduced into the project. As the project progressed BKF will determine if the new items can be absorbed into the project. Alternatively, BKF can suggest bid alternates to allow for the greatest bidding flexibility for the City.
QUALITY CONTROL
Please refer to the following pages for BKF’s Quality Control approach.
City of Yorba Linda - Yorba Linda Boulevard
Improvements (from Imperial Highway to Lakeview Ave) 30 BKF ENGINEERS F. / PROJECT UNDERSTANDING, OVERVIEW + APPROACH
QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM
BKF will dedicate a member of staff not directly related to the project as the Quality Assurance/Quality Control Manager.
This member of staff’s key role is to assure the Quality Control procedures delineated below are closely followed and the procedure documented.
LEVEL 1: INTERNAL REVIEW - EACH DISCIPLINE IS REQUIRED TO CONDUCT AN INTERNAL REVIEW PERFORMED PRIOR TO EACH MILESTONE SUBMITTAL.
A senior staff member at the firm, other than on the design team, shall review the documents prepared by the design team. This review will require that all items on the documents be highlighted in yellow indicating the review has occurred and there are no exceptions to the document. This process is for the entire document (i.e. north arrows, station call-outs, profile grid designation, etc.).
• If the reviewer identifies an item on the document that is not correct, then it is marked in red. If the reviewer has comments for clarifications, then it is marked in green. • After the review is complete, the document is returned to the design team with a signature (documentation) indicating the review is complete.
• The design team will review and address all items in red and meet with the reviewer on the items in green until a clarification allows for the reviewer to yellow the item, or a red mark is added. • The design team will then resolve the red marks and return the reviewers original markup along with a clean print.
The reviewer will document the comments that have been addressed by yellowing out the original red mark and placing yellow on the clean set, and signing the document.
LEVEL 2: INTER-DISCIPLINARY REVIEW - THIS REVIEW IS TO CONFIRM THAT THERE ARE NO INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFLICTS AND OCCURS AT THE 95% AND FINAL SUBMITTAL MILESTONES. • All disciplines provide their plans to BKF for collation. BKF will assemble the sets and distribute to the design team. • Each discipline will review the others and similar to the process delineated in Level 1 above, marking in yellow, red, or green, and return to BKF for collation.
• A meeting will be held with all the disciplines in attendance, and the documents with all red or green comments will be discussed and resolved between disciplines.
• The resolutions will be marked in red and returned to the designer for incorporation as described above in the Level 1 procedure.
LEVEL 3: FOR HIGHLY TECHNICAL/COMPLEX PROJECTS, BKF WILL RETAIN QUALIFIED REVIEWERS (EXTERNAL FIRM) TO PERFORM A PEER REVIEW OF THE PROJECT DESIGN AT THE 95% SUBMITTAL MILESTONE:
• Utilizing an external peer
reviewer to perform Quality
Control review.
• Review procedure is
consistent with that of a Level
1 Review.
BKF’s Quality Assurance / Quality
Control Manager will review the
documents to ensure the Level 1,
Level 2, and Level 3 procedures
have been met by all team
members and will document their
findings in support of the Quality
Assurance Program.

As part of the Request for Proposal, the City has provided a detailed Scope of Services in Section IV. Therefore, in an effort to eliminate lengthy repetitions, we will address the Scope of Services as follows:
• If the City Scope of Services is consistent with our approach and needs for a specific task, we will simply state: “No exceptions to the Scope of Services”
• If BKF believes that in order deliver the Project there are additions, suggested modifications or clarifications, or deletions to the City’s Scope of Services we provided the following section of this proposal.
Below is our concurrence or deviation from the Scope of Services provided by the City:
1.0 Site Reconnaissance: CLARIFICATION PROVIDED
2.0 Utility Locating and Verification: CLARIFICATION PROVIDED
3.01 Topographic Survey and Right of way Research: CLARIFICATION PROVIDED
3.02 Geotechnical Investigation: CLARIFICATION PROVIDED
4.0 Environmental Document-IS/MND: CLARIFICATION PROVIDED
5.0 Design: CLARIFICATION PROVIDED
6.0 Design Support During Bid and Construction: CLARIFICATION PROVIDED

CITY SCOPE OF SERVICES ADDITIONS, MODIFICATIONS, CLARIFICATIONS,
AND/OR DELETIONS
1.0 SITE RECONNAISSANCE – CLARIFICATION
BKF recommends that a site visit serve as our Kick-Off meeting along the project limits with City staff and the BKF Team. If the City is amenable to performing site visit with the BKF Team, the site visit may be utilized to review, assess, and identify the appropriate course of action. With the intersection improvements and widening along Yorba Linda Boulevard, our site visit will facilitate the preparation of the Basis of Design to be submitted to the City for review and approval. Once the Basis of Design is approved, our Team will progress the Project with clear direction and hit each milestone on schedule and within budget.
2.0 UTILITY LOCATING AND VERIFICATION – CLARIFICATION
Per the City’s Addendum No. 1, BKF’s proposal includes SCE coordination for the Street Light relocation, and provides for up 8 potholes for locating utilities. As it is our standard of practice with new traffic signals, we partner with Site Scan to perform the “X-Trench” potholes (see photo below) at the proposed traffic signal locations to full depth and diameter of the pole foundation. This method allows the design team to ensure that the locations of the new traffic signals are free and clear of existing utilities, and ensures the proper traffic signal types are ordered, which reduces delays during construction.
The BKF Team will submit an additional service request to perform the “X-Trench” potholes for the new traffic signals if requested by the City.
City of Yorba Linda - Yorba Linda Boulevard
Improvements (from Imperial Highway to Lakeview Ave) BKF ENGINEERS J. / APPENDIX
3.01 TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY & RIGHT OF WAY RESEARCH: CLARIFICATION
EXISTING RIGHT OF WAY AND BASE-MAP
Monuments will be observed to retrace the centerlines and rights-of-way of Yorba Linda Boulevard within the project limits. The results will be incorporated into a base-map illustrating existing right of way conditions. Parcel lines will be based on available field evidence and records. Available agency research, prior surveys, and assessor parcel maps will be used to prepare the base-map. This will not be a full and complete boundary survey of all adjacent land parcels.
In an effort to reduce cost, and if the City has the GIS of the right of way within City boundaries, we recommend using the GIS to illustrate the existing right of way conditions. With the exception of parcels requiring partial takes and temporary construction easements, BKF will order and use the Title Reports of said parcels, map the parcel boundaries as the basis for the preparation of the Plat Maps and Legal Descriptions.
AERIAL TOPOGRAPHY
Current aerial topography and existing planimetrics data will be obtained for the site. The photography will be flown for use at a scale of 1” = 20’, with contours compiled at 1-foot intervals. Spot elevations and existing site features identifiable from photography will also be compiled. This line item includes the field work to set horizontal and vertical control required for the aerial effort, which will be based on OC Surveyor’s Horizontal (CCS83 (2017.50 epoch) and Vertical Control (NAVD88) Networks.
A color digital ortho-photo will be prepared from the photography. The ortho-photo will be a rectified image so as to closely match the compiled topography, providing the capability to prepare accurate, color exhibits on subsequent efforts.
SUPPLEMENTAL TOPOGRAPHY
As a supplement to the aerial effort, conventional ground survey will be used to spot verify the aerial topography and obtain additional detail in key areas. Cross-sections will be observed at 25-foot intervals. The supplemental data will be used in conjunction with the aerial mapping to create a topographic map that will be used as the basis for design.
RECORD OF SURVEY
Based on initial research and the extent of the survey, it is reasonably likely that material discrepancies exist between conflicting evidence in the field and previous filed records. Therefore, in accordance with Section 8762 of the State of California Business and Professions Code (The Land Surveyor’s Act) it is anticipated that a Record of Survey will be required. The Record of Survey will be prepared and filed with the County and will serve as an added benefit in memorializing the rights-of-way as a matter of public record. No new monuments are budgeted in this effort as it is anticipated that sufficient monuments exist to control this site for boundary purposes.
PROPOSED RIGHT OF WAY LEGAL DESCRIPTIONS AND EXHIBITS
A legal description and exhibit will be prepared for the locations where additional right of way will be dedicated to accommodate proposed improvements. A Preliminary Title Report will be required covering the properties affected by the above dedications, prior to the preparation of the documents. Nine title reports and associated research documents are included herein up to but not exceeding $1,500 per report. If costs associated with research and title records exceeds $1,500 for any parcel covered by a title report, said costs will be passed through to Client.

3.02 GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION: CLARIFICATION
Based on Ninyo & Moore’s review of the geotechnical report for the property on the north side of Yorba Linda Boulevard that was provided by the City, variable soil conditions were encountered with a wide range of R-value soil strengths.
Preliminary pavement design recommendations were provided in the report based on an R-value of 5, which is a worsecase condition. Due to the potential variability in soil conditions, we recommend that additional samples are collected for R-value testing to evaluate the subgrade soils on the south side of Yorba Linda Boulevard.
Our services will include performing two relatively shallow borings at the site to evaluate the subgrade soils, and obtain subgrade soil samples for laboratory testing. The borings will be manually excavated with a hand-auger within existing landscape area between the sidewalk and the parking lot for the adjacent commercial properties. We will prepare a geotechnical report that will summarize our scope of services, findings, conclusions and recommendations for site grading and structural pavement design.
Based on our understanding, our scope of services include:
• Project planning and coordination, including a review of readily available geologic background pertinent to the site and previous geotechnical reports provided by the City. • Perform a site reconnaissance to locate proposed boring locations and coordinate with Underground Service Alert (USA) for underground utility location.
• Obtain an encroachment permit for performing our subsurface exploration in the landscape areas adjacent to the roadway, if required by the City.
• Perform subsurface exploration consisting of the excavating, logging and sampling of two hand auger borings in existing landscape areas, and collection of representative samples of the subgrade soils. The borings will be excavated utilizing manual equipment to a depth of 3 to 5 feet, or refusal. Samples will be returned to our laboratory for evaluation and testing. The borings will be backfilled with on-site soils and/or clean sand. • Geotechnical laboratory testing of soil samples to evaluate in-situ moisture content, gradation, R-value, and corrosivity.
• Data compilation and geotechnical analysis of field and laboratory data. • Preparation of a geotechnical report presenting our findings, conclusions, and recommendations. Our report will include a boring location plan, boring logs, laboratory test results, and recommendations for preparation of the subgrade and new asphalt concrete structural pavement sections.
4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT – IS/MND: CLARIFICATION
We understand that the City has categorized this Project as requiring an IS/MND. Our proposal assumes an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) to be the appropriate document for the environmental clearance under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the Project. Based on the results of the Traffic Analysis, the selected alternative is expected to be cleared under the IS/MND.
However, the proposed alternative, individually or combined with other projects, are not anticipated to result in significant effects, be located on a hazardous waste site, or impact historical resources. In addition, if, based on the results of the traffic analysis it is determined that the improvements are expected to only serve as an operational improvement to the intersection, it is LSA’s opinion that the project could involve “…negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing…” preparation of a Categorical Exemption (CE) under Section 15301 (c) of the CEQA Guidelines may be appropriate and has been included as an optional task. If a CE is found to be viable, the Project fee would be reduced per the fee proposal.

14 SECTION IV
SCOPE OF SERVICES
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Yorba Linda Boulevard between Imperial Highway and Lakeview Avenue is a six-lane arterial highway. The close proximity of the Yorba Linda Boulevard/Imperial Highway and Yorba Linda Boulevard/Lakeview Avenue intersections along with heavy turning movements contribute to congestion at these intersections during the peak travel periods of the day. In particular, the left turn pockets in the east-west direction have limited storage capacity and as traffic volumes increase, this will impact the east-west traffic flow through this segment of Yorba Linda Boulevard. A traffic study performed by one of the City’s traffic engineering consultants indicates that adding a 2nd left turn pocket on Yorba Linda Boulevard at each intersection in the east-west direction will improve the level of service for the intersections and improve overall traffic circulation through the area.
Per the attached Project Geometric Exhibit, the proposed improvement will result in a 2nd left turn pocket addition in both the east and west directions at each intersection. This will require minor widening and realignment of the southerly side of Yorba Linda Boulevard. In order to achieve this realignment, some additional right of way will need to be acquired from properties to the south of Yorba Linda Boulevard.
The project is currently programmed in the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The City has been awarded OCTA M2 Comprehensive Transportation Program Funds (CTFP) funds for engineering design and environmental phases of the project. Once the design and environmental documents are complete, additional funds for right of way and construction will be pursued.

SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2023-5847 - ANNUAL STATEMENT CONCERNING THE
UPDATE OF THE LOCAL SIGNAL SYNCHRONIZATION PLAN FOR THE MEASURE M (M2) PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023-5847, approving the City's Local Signal Synchronization Plan (LSSP) which is consistent with the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Master Plan.
BACKGROUND
In order to maintain eligibility for OCTA Measure M (M2) transportation funds, each of the cities within the County must adopt a resolution, approving the City's Local Signal Synchronization Plan (LSSP) which is consistent with the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Master Plan.
DISCUSSION
An updated LSSP is required for submittal to OCTA as part of the City's eligibility documentation. The City's LSSP is a three-year plan identifying traffic signal synchronization, street routes, and traffic signals to be improved, including all elements of the Regional Signal Synchronization Network located within the City. It includes goals that are consistent with those outlined as part of OCTA's Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Master Plan, including signal synchronization across jurisdictions. The City’s ongoing conformance with the Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH) and Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Master Plan also help maintain the City’s eligibility to participate in future competitive and non-competitive funding programs under the Measure M2 sales tax program. The City has previously been successful in competing for grant funds under the Measure M2 competitive grant program. Most recently, the City was awarded funds for the Yorba Linda Blvd./Weir Canyon Rd. Corridor Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program. Additionally, the City will receive several million dollars in Measure M2 sales tax fair share allocations over the next eighteen years to help maintain the City’s roadways.

LOCAL SIGNAL SYNCHRONIZATION PLAN
2023 Local Signal Synchronization Plan Update
Section 1
Traffic Signal Synchronization Goals, Policies, and Objectives Goals
The City of Yorba Linda’s Local Signal Synchronization Plan (LSSP) is a step towards the implementation of the City’s General Plan Circulation Element Goal CR‐2 to support development of a network of regional roadway facilities that coordinates transportation needs and requirements across jurisdictions. The LSSP is a document that the City has adopted as guidelines to assist in the City’s planning, management, operations and maintenance of current and future traffic signal systems.
The City of Yorba Linda supports regional synchronization programs and has been working with OCTA and adjoining agencies to synchronize signals throughout the City on a corridor basis. This cooperation serves to provide safe, efficient traffic circulation for our local needs as well as future demands, by continuing to improve travel times and reducing unnecessary delays. The City has been proactive in upgrading outdated traffic signal equipment and improving synchronization through various traffic signal interconnect projects. These projects have included hardwire interconnect, as well as phone‐drop connectivity, to several corridor traffic signals that make up the City’s existing Aries traffic signal management system.
Currently, the City’s system allows communication to 63 city traffic signals.
The City of Yorba Linda is currently participating in the Orangethorpe Avenue/Esperanza Road corridor project, which is under construction and includes installation of fiber optic signal interconnect and a new Centracs traffic signal management central system at City Hall. The City also just started the Yorba Linda Boulevard/Weir Canyon Road corridor project which the City is leading.
As future traffic signal synchronization corridor projects continue to be completed, the City of Yorba Linda’s traffic signals on the Aries system will be transitioned to the central Centracs system. This central Econolite traffic management system allows for street routes to be more easily coordinated across jurisdictional boundaries.
Policies
As stated in the City’s General Plan Circulation Element Policy CR‐2.1, the City shall coordinate and maintain partnerships with surrounding cities and regional agencies for an efficient and effective circulation system. It is also stated in Policy CR‐2.4 that the City shall continue to participate in regional transportation planning efforts to coordinate priorities with neighboring jurisdictions. By adopting the LSSP and updating it every three years, the City will be able to plan ahead and allocate necessary resources and funding in order to maintain the City’s current traffic signal synchronization system as well as to develop future synchronization programs. As the initial LSSP adoption occurred in December 2010, this is the fourth cycle of the 3‐year updates.
2023 Local Signal Synchronization Plan Update
Objectives
During the past several years, the City of Yorba Linda has implemented and maintained corridor‐based signal coordination timing via daily traffic signal operations consultant support services. Through these on‐going support services, the City periodically evaluates and optimizes coordination signal timing in response to changing traffic volumes and patterns.
On November 6, 1990, Orange County voters approved Measure M, a ½ cent sales tax that allocates funding for streets and roads improvements including signal synchronization.
On November 6, 2006, voters approved the Renewed Measure M (Measure M2) to continue the ½ cent sales tax for thirty years beginning in 2011. It is the City’s desire to remain eligible for Measure M2 funding and to continue participating in and supporting regional traffic signal synchronization programs.
Specifically, the following objectives have been established for the current LSSP:
Coordinate with OCTA and neighboring agencies on inter‐jurisdictional traffic signal synchronization projects (Project P). The City concurs that Project P is beneficial and needed in order to effectively move people and goods locally and regionally through effective signal timing.
By participating in Project P, the City recognizes the benefits gained from local signal timing and synchronization, as well as from eligible traffic signal and interconnect equipment upgrades. Continue to monitor the Aries and forthcoming Centracs traffic signal systems on a daily basis with assistance from a contract traffic engineering consultant:
o Gather and store historical data and real‐time information on all City traffic signal operations;
o Review data daily to ensure traffic signal synchronization is properly operated; o Log malfunction reports and immediately report to the City’s traffic signal maintenance contractor for repair;
o Review and analyze historical data periodically to identify traffic pattern changes and adjust timing plans when necessary;
o Verify timing correctly programmed in each master and local controller. Actively seek funding opportunities in support of upgrades and modifications of the current traffic signal system and proposed synchronization corridors.
Actively seek funding opportunities to plan, design and construct a new traffic management center with video surveillance.

Traffic Signal Synchronization Assessment Review
and Update of Traffic Signal Timing
Significant timing plan updates and projects completed
FY 2020/2021 through 2022/2023
Corridor Assessment
The City of Yorba Linda recently completed the Imperial Highway/SR‐90 Corridor RTSSP. The specific corridor final results are provided below. The City is currently participating in the Orangethorpe Avenue/Esperanza Road Corridor and the Tustin Avenue/Rose Drive Corridor RTSSP projects.
As lead agency, the City is in the process of hiring a professional engineering consultant for the Yorba Linda Boulevard/Weir Canyon Road Corridor RTSSP project. 2023 OCTA CSPI Results
The resulting corridor performance was obtained from the 2021 Corridor Operational Performance Report (COPR) that was prepared under the direction of the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA).
The results are expressed in terms of the Corridor Synchronization Performance Index (CSPI), which combines measures of the travel speed, the ratio of green lights to red lights, and stops per mile. The best performance level is Tier 1 (CSPI of >80), which is considered to be very good progression. The various performance tiers are then defined in increments of 10 as follows:
Tier I More than 80 Very good progression
Tier II 70.01 – 80 Good progression
Tier III 60.01 – 70 Fair progression
Tier IV 50 ‐ 60 Limited progression
Tier V Less than 50 Very limited progression
As shown on the attached Corridor Synchronization Performance Index (CSPI) exhibit provided by OCTA, the OCTA CSPI scores for the following corridors that cross the City of Yorba Linda are as follows:
Bastanchury Road Tier II
Imperial Highway Tier III
Lakeview Avenue Tier IV
Esperanza Road Tier III
Rose Drive Tier IV
Yorba Linda Boulevard Tier III
The City will consider participation in future TSSP corridor projects along Bastanchury Road and Lakeview Avenue.
2023 Local Signal Synchronization Plan Update
2023 Local Signal Synchronization Plan Update
Priorities, Approach and System Plan 2023 OCTA CSPI Results For years the City has implemented and maintained corridor‐based signal coordination timing through daily traffic signal operations consultant support services. These on‐going services include the Aries and Centracs traffic signal management systems collecting data on a 24/7 basis, as well as the daily review/monitoring of the collected data, especially looking at detector and communication events. These events are quickly forwarded to the City’s traffic signal maintenance company for trouble‐shooting and repair.
The City strives to move traffic regionally in a safe manner along the corridors, reducing commuter travel times and stops, while minimizing side‐street delays that serve our residents. These support services include daily review of all coordination timing along Yorba Linda Boulevard, Imperial Highway, and Bastanchury Road west of Imperial Highway, with every city arterial driven bi‐monthly. Through these support services, the City assures that the signal timing is maintained on a daily basis, and is periodically evaluated and fine‐tuned in response to changing traffic volumes and patterns. The review of other consultants’ signal synchronization timing is also included when applicable.
Lakeview Avenue, south of Yorba Linda Boulevard, has been reviewed and is not pursued in this update due to the existing four‐way stop sign at the intersection with Buena Vista Avenue.
As mentioned, the City’s system plan includes the installation of a new Traffic Management Center at City Hall. This system improvement is included in the Imperial Highway TSSP project which recently concluded and will be further enhanced by the recently funded Yorba Linda Boulevard/Weir Canyon Road TSSP project.
The eventual signal synchronization timing along the newer section of Bastanchury Road as well as the City segments of Lakeview Avenue, and Fairmont Boulevard will be considered by the City of Yorba Linda.
The City has also included systematic upgrades to new ATC traffic signal controllers and cabinets that contribute to the upkeep of the City’s above approach.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JAMIE LAI, P.E., PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/ CITY ENGINEER PREPARED BY: FREDY CASTILLO, ASSISTANT ENGINEER
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2023-5848 – ANNUAL STATEMENT CONCERNING THE
STATUS AND UPDATE OF THE CIRCULATION ELEMENT, AND
MITIGATION FEE PROGRAM FOR THE MEASURE M (M2) PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023-5848, affirming that the City Council concurs with the current Mitigation Fee Program and affirming the City’s Circulation Element is in conformance with the Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH).
BACKGROUND
In order to maintain eligibility for Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Measure M (M2) transportation funds, each of the cities within the County must adopt a resolution, affirming the City Council concurs with the current Mitigation Fee Program and affirming the City’s Circulation Element is in conformance with the MPAH.
DISCUSSION
The biennial notification process allows the cities and OCTA to periodically review and update the Arterial Highway Circulation System. As part of the notification, the City must certify that it has an existing mitigation fee program that requires new development to pay a fair share of the necessary transportation improvements attributable to the new development. In addition, the City’s ongoing conformance with the MPAH also helps maintain the City’s eligibility to participate in future competitive and non-competitive funding programs under the Measure M2 sales tax program. The City has previously been successful in competing for grant funds under the Measure M2 competitive grant program.
The City has been awarded funds for roadway widening projects on Bastanchury Road, Lakeview Avenue, and on Yorba Linda Boulevard. Additionally, the City will receive several million dollars in Measure M2 sales tax fair share allocations over the life of the program (sunsetting in 2041) to help maintain the City’s roadways.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact in approving the subject resolution. Formal notification by the City

concerning the status and update of the City’s Circulation Element and Mitigation Fee Program allows for continued participation in the Measure M2 Funding Program.
ALTERNATIVES
Do not adopt Resolution No. 2023-5848. This is not recommended, as this would jeopardize the City’s eligibility to participate in OCTA funding programs, including the annual Measure M Turnback allotment and the competitively awarded transportation grants.

FROM: MARK A. PULONE, CITY MANAGER
PREPARED BY: GEOFF SPENCER, MANAGEMENT ANALYST
SUBJECT: REVISION TO CITY COUNCIL POLICY C-3, USE OF GOVERNMENT
ACCESS CHANNEL
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the revised City Council Policy C-3, Use of Government Access Channel, removing the fiscal year implementation policy; and
2. Direct staff to no longer prepare an annual report to the City Council.
BACKGROUND
At the March 4, 2014 City Council meeting, the City Council directed staff to prepare modifications to City Council Policy C-3 (formerly numbered A-6 at the time), permitting outside programming on Channel 3, specifically the graphic bulletin board service. At the March 18, 2014 City Council meeting, Council adopted modified City Council Policy C-3 which modified the purpose, mission, and goals of the City’s government access channel, and identified new potential users and procedures for placing information on Channel 3. Per Council’s direction, after six months, the policy was to revert to the original version of the policy (adopted November 6, 2007), unless amended by the City Council. Staff was also directed to prepare a report to bring back to City Council in six months, regarding the City Council’s concerns about new program users and the appropriateness of program content requests.
At the October 7, 2014 City Council Meeting, the Council re-adopted City Council Policy C3, which permitted programming to “external users” on the graphic bulletin board service.
The adopted policy also eliminated the six month implementation policy in favor of a fiscal year implementation policy, where the policy will expire on June 30 of the following year and revert back to the original version dated November 6, 2007, unless directed by the City Council to extend it. At that meeting, the City Council also directed staff to prepare an annual report for the City Council’s review (prior to the policy’s June 30 expiration) reporting on the Council’s concerns about new program users and the appropriateness of external program content requests.
REVISION TO CITY COUNCIL POLICY C-3, USE OF GOVERNMENT ACCESS CHANNEL P a g e | 2
City Council Policy C-3 was last modified on June 4, 2019 to require all regular Yorba Linda City Council meetings to be broadcast live then rebroadcast on a scheduled basis and on a tape-delayed basis, unless otherwise specifically directed by a majority vote of the Council.
DISCUSSION
Per the City Council’s direction in 2014, staff continues to prepare an annual report to the City Council, reviewing the current practice of City Council Policy C-3 to address concerns regarding external content on the bulletin board system. Since the adoption of the modified policy in 2014, all external programming requests received have adhered to the criteria set forth in the City’s policy. Additionally, staff has not denied any of the applications received nor have they experienced any issues with the implementation of the current policy. Over the last year, staff received only one request from an external group, a Yorba Linda nonprofit organization. In the previous year, staff received just two requests.
Staff continues to use the bulletin system to spread awareness of City sponsored events, programs, and services. Considering the low frequency of external requests (three in the last two years), lack of new users, and overall appropriateness of content submissions, staff recommends that the current policy be revised to remove the fiscal year implementation policy. This would also eliminate the need for the preparation of an annual report. If future program users or program content requests come into question, staff will report potential concerns to the City Council at a future meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Continue the current policy with the fiscal year implementation policy and present an annual report for the City Council’s review.

In the event of an emergency situation, regularly scheduled programming on the Channel may be interrupted or cancelled in favor of an emergency override. Emergency broadcasts consist of live, taped, or text generated programming shown at any time as emergency situations dictate. The purpose of emergency programming will be to keep residents abreast of emergency situations, and to disseminate instructions relative to evacuation, detour and escape procedures. The content and scheduling of any emergency programming requires approval by the City Manager.
6. Other Programming
Other programming may be produced which does not fit into any existing program series. These programs will be considered “specials” and may be of any format.
Special programs will focus on special activities, events, services, and issues pertinent to the City of Yorba Linda.
VI. PROGRAMMING REQUESTS
Internal and external users are eligible to request programming within the aforementioned scope of services. The City Manager is responsible for making all programming decisions in accordance with this Policy. Since the Government Access Channel is not a “Public Access Channel”, programming that is outside the scope of the Channel’s mission and goals will not be aired. The City has the sole right to determine the content and schedule of programming on the Channel and to edit or deny content that may be deemed offensive, obscene, illegal, or otherwise inappropriate.

FROM: PAMELA STOKER, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MANAGER
SUBJECT: FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT AND JOINT ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS FOR 4859 MAIN STREET – EVAN’S
SMOKEHOUSE
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into the First Amendment to the Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions (First Amendment) with Evan’s Smokehouse, associated with the sale of City-owned property located at 4859 Main Street, Yorba Linda.
BACKGROUND
On July 19, 2022, the City Council entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions (PSA) for the sale of city-owned vacant land located at 4859 Main Street, Yorba Linda. The subject property has been occupied by Evan’s Smokehouse as a temporary location for an outdoor barbeque establishment. The use was proposed to be interim until the City could reasonably determine the highest and best use for the property. The site had been historically used as a public parking lot. However, with the construction of the Town Center public parking structure, it was envisioned that vacant infill property in the vicinity would ultimately be developed to help boost commercial interest along Main Street and encourage pedestrians and patrons to the area.
During his tenancy, Evan Carl, owner of Evan’s Smokehouse, expressed interest in acquiring the property to develop a two-story full-service BBQ restaurant with outdoor patio dining. The City negotiated the terms and conditions of the sale and entered into a purchase contract. The agreed upon purchase price for the 5,000 square foot site was determined to be a fair market value of $240,000 or $48.00 per square foot.
The PSA stated certain milestones the Buyer would need to meet prior to close of escrow, including award of full entitlements and payment of parking in-lieu fees. Both conditions have been completed as to date, which is consistent with the anticipated outside closing date of July 31, 2023.
First Amendment to PSA with Evan’s Smokehouse
P a g e | 2
DISCUSSION
During the entitlement process for the proposed restaurant development, it was determined that an existing pedestrian pathway along the northern boundary of the subject site was to be preserved. The pathway linked the city-owned Olinda parking lot to Main Street and was critical to maintaining connectivity. As in normal practice, the City requested 5 feet of rightof-way to be dedicated as a public easement. The proposed site development already contemplated a five-foot setback from the property line and therefore did not impact the site planning efforts and the Buyer agreed to dedicate a 500 square foot easement to the City.
However, with a public easement dedication the area becomes encumbered, and the easement area is restricted from development. As a result of this dedication, the purchase price is proposed to be reduced equivalent to the total area of the easement on a price per square foot basis.
At this point in the process, additional time is required to prepare the plat map and legal description for the City requested public easement. The recordation of the easement will occur concurrent with the closing of escrow.
As a result of the newly proposed easement, revisions to the PSA are necessary to effectuate the purchase price and escrow closing date. The following is a summary of the key proposed modifications contained within the First Amendment to the PSA:
1. Adjustment to the final Purchase Price as identified in Section 1.1, The new Purchase Price will be $216,000 reflecting a reduction of $24,000 related to the dedication of a 5ft public easement on the northern perimeter of the property.
2. Due to the additional time needed to prepare the plat map for City’s public easement request, the Outside Closing Date as identified in Section 4.1 shall be extended by 60 days, resulting in an Outside Closing Date of September 30, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT
The sale of the property will result in proceeds being deposited into the City’s general fund account. The updated price adjustment has been reflected in the 2023/24 revenue budget.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council has agreed to all terms and conditions established in the PSA. The First Amendment adjusts certain terms which have been outlined in this staff report and the attached document. Should the Council wish to revisit the terms associated with this transaction the agenda item may be postponed for further discussion.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL/
SUCCESSOR AGENCY BOARD MEMBERS
FROM: PAMELA STOKER, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MANAGER
SUBJECT: TWO-YEAR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
CITY OF YORBA LINDA AND THE YORBA LINDA CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to execute a Professional Services Agreement (“Agreement”) between the City of Yorba Linda and the Yorba Linda Chamber of Commerce in the amount of $25,000 per year, for a two-year period, covering fiscal years 2023/24 and 2024/25
BACKGROUND
The City of Yorba Linda continues to benefit by supporting and promoting its local businesses through the Yorba Linda Chamber of Commerce. For many years now, the City has contracted with the Chamber of Commerce to perform the ministerial and administrative functions associated with promoting the interests of the City, including hosting programs to encourage business and economic development in the community, furthering the City’s business-friendly goals, and disseminating business related materials and information.
DISCUSSION
As previously noted, the City of Yorba Linda has historically contracted with the Yorba Linda Chamber of Commerce to provide services related to promoting businesses and enhancing economic development. The current two-year Agreement expires on June 30, 2023, and a new two-year contract is being contemplated to cover the 2023/24 and 2024/25 fiscal years.
Chamber and City representatives met last month to discuss the contract terms in detail. As a result of that meeting, it was determined and mutually agreed upon that most of the contract terms would remain in place as is defined under the current contract period. A few modifications were discussed which have been incorporated into the Agreement and are outlined below for the City Council’s reference.
Going forward the Yorba Linda Chamber of Commerce has requested to have a stronger focus on workforce development and business advocacy, with a slightly lesser
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF YORBA LINDA AND THE YORBA LINDA
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
P a g e | 2
focus on Chamber events. The Chamber will continue to host/co-host several community events, which provide benefit to both commercial businesses and residents alike, such as the Taste of Yorba Linda, State of the City, network luncheons, e-waste collections and document shredding days. The Chamber will no longer host Restaurant Week. Yorba Linda’s local event was held for the past 3 years; however, most Orange County cities/chambers have combined their promotion with Orange County’s annual Restaurant Week. As such, Yorba Linda restaurants will be encouraged to participate in the OC event.
In order to address the needs of the Yorba Linda business community, the Chamber will be providing greater workforce development support, such as hosting an annual career fair, working with high school and college students to train them for entering the workforce, and connecting businesses with resources that will address their staffing needs. Additionally, the Chamber intends to educate and represent businesses as an advocate for legislative matters that may have an impact on the business environment.
Chamber leadership and membership have requested these services over and above social events. Therefore, the change in focus is a direct result of being responsive to the needs and circumstances of businesses today.
Chamber will offer “support” to the Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast and First Responder's Event rather than “host” these events. Both events now fall under the duties and responsibilities of the Yorba Linda Chamber Foundation (a legal and separate entity) and therefore the Chamber’s role will consist of offering its support to the Foundation on both events.
As part of a business outreach program, the Chamber will continue to respond to business inquiries and offer support in terms of education and representation to the business community. However, the Business Alliance meetings, which were previously held in Savi Ranch, will now be available to businesses across the City and on an as-needed-basis. Advocacy topics may necessitate outreach in certain industries or business-related information may be specific to a particular area, for which the Chamber will organize a Business Alliance meeting and invite property owners, managers, and City staff representatives as deemed necessary. The Chamber will continue to visit local Yorba Linda businesses through their Business Walkabout Program. Chamber board members, along with a City Council representative and City staff, visit local commercial centers and business parks to offer an introduction to the City’s key business leaders. The intent is to explain services that are available to our Yorba Linda businesses and solicit input from commercial operators.
Therefore, the City recognizes that the Yorba Linda Chamber continues to provide valuable services which support the business community and encourage economic development across the city. The City/Chamber partnership is essential in our efforts to address the needs and interests of our local businesses, while encouraging a positive retail environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Agreement provides for an annual payment in the amount of $25,000. Funding has been included in the City’s operating budget under the Economic Development division for both FY 2023/24 and FY 2024/25.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may wish to consider additional or revised terms to the Agreement prior to taking action. Any requested changes would need to be discussed with the Chamber Executive Board prior to acceptance.

DATE: JUNE 6, 2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JEFF JOHNSON, INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY SERVICES
MANAGER
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE THE PURCHASE ORDER TO NTH GENERATION FOR THE PROCUREMENT OF RUBRIK’S COMPLETE ELITE EDITION BACKUP
AND DATA SECURITY SOLUTION
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize a purchase order to Nth Generation for the procurement of Rubrik’s Complete Elite Edition, backup and data security solution.
BACKGROUND
The City of Yorba Linda is reliant on a functioning combination of backup systems to prevent the loss of City data during a disaster. Backup systems are designed to recover data in the event of a system failure or a disaster (natural or man-made) including cyber-attacks and ransomware.
An effective backup solution should include backing up on-premises servers as well as cloud data. The solution should be modern and secure with tools to manage on-premises backups, cloud backups, off-site replication of backups, and the recovery of services. The solution should be designed with the understanding of how ransomware works.
The City’s current data backup system is near the end of its useful life and is not designed with ransomware awareness. The current backup system is in the final year of support and has limited functionality compared to newer, more robust, systems. By procuring Rubrik’s Complete Elite Edition, backup and data security solution, the City will significantly enhance its current backup system and increase its readiness for a cyber-attack or ransomware event.
DISCUSSION
The City’s Information Technology Division evaluated our current system and determined that the lack of truly integrated, immutable, backups and the limitations on recovering from a ransomware event were significant enough to justify changing our solution. In addition to evaluating our current product, Veeam, staff looked at several alternatives, including Rubrik, Dell Avamar, and Cohesity. Based on staff feedback as well as discussing with other
agencies, it was determined that Rubrik best meets the City’s need for backups and data protection from disaster or ransomware.
The City’s Information Technology Division worked directly with Rubrik on the system design and bill of materials in order to generate specifications for solicitating quotes. Staff then received three competitive quotes from Nth Generation ($114,999.11), CDW-G ($117,292.53), and Secure-Centric ($119,000.01). Nth Generation was selected due to lowest price and previous positive experiences with their services.
Without an appropriate backup system, the City would not be able to recover data from a cyber-attack, hardware failure, human error or natural disaster. Rubrik’s data backup system will accelerate the City’s capability of ransomware recovery by only requiring minimal steps to restore the most recent clean backup. In addition, Rubrik’s proprietary file system was built to be immutable, meaning that backups cannot be encrypted or deleted by ransomware.
This is highly beneficial to the City because backups are commonly considered to be one of the most important defenses against ransomware or other cyber-attacks. The simplicity of Rubrik permits staff to easily use the solution without significant training or dedicating a single individual to managing backups, resulting in efficiency and a staff time savings.
By procuring Rubrik, the City will attain a modern system that is both reliable and secure.
The quote for Rubrik’s Backup and Data Security system covers the purchase of all hardware, software, and includes 3 years of technical support.
The City’s current backup system is covered by a 1-yr support agreement, costing $1,666.50. The City also has a backup solution for e-mail and Office365 content, costing $4,050 annually. The City currently uses an on-premises backup server, tape drive, and an off-premises backup server that have approximately two years remaining in their useful life.
The replacement cost for this hardware is currently greater than $60,000.
FISCAL IMPACT
The purchase of Rubrik will be divided into three annual payments of $41,282, $36,283 and $36,283. Funding has been included in the upcoming proposed budget to provide for years one and two. Year three will be accounted for in the following 2-year budget.
ALTERNATIVES
Should Council choose not to authorize the purchase of the Rubrik system, the alternative would be to renew the existing backup solution for another 1-3 year term and budget for new backup hardware in addition to the software licensing. Staff does not recommend this alternative as the current system does not include native immutable backups or insight into the details of a ransomware attacks.
