FROM: DAVID ALBAUGH, ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DIRECTOR
PREPARED BY: CHRIS PEÑA, EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

COORDINATOR
SUBJECT: MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR THE USE OF ALERTOC

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the Memorandum of Understanding with the County of Orange for Use of the Countywide Public Mass Notification System for the period of December 30, 2024 to December 30, 2029.

DISCUSSION
Public mass notification systems have become a critical component of emergency preparation and response. Residents prepare to be notified of emergencies by providing their landline phones, cell phones, and e-mail addresses. Public safety and city officials respond by using the system to rapidly send out messages when there is a perceived, upcoming, or imminent situation that may require community action.

The County of Orange continues to implement a regional public mass notification system known as AlertOC. AlertOC is designed to deliver alert, warning, and instructional messages to County residents and businesses during times of emergency. AlertOC is sponsored and led by the County of Orange in partnership with many Orange County cities, including the City of Yorba Linda. Under the terms of the agreement, all cities within the County are permitted to use the system in an emergency, including instances of fire, flood, storm, earthquake, epidemic, or disease that threatens the safety and welfare of the citizens and property. Examples of use would include disaster notifications, evacuation notices, and any other emergency information as defined by each city.

AlertOC is available 24/7 and has the capacity to send large volumes of messages through phone (home, cell, or work), e-mail, and text communication channels. Landline phone numbers are purchased from E911 database vendors, but all other phone numbers and email addresses are registered utilizing the AlertOC internet public portal. The legal authority (County or City) responsible for announcing emergency notifications depends on the nature and scale of the incident and each city has local control of the system. AlertOC will be used

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR THE USE OF ALERTOC
P a g e | 2
to send a message, describing the situation and recommended action the public should take, to affected households and businesses via telephone, e-mail, and/or text.

The current MOU with the County of Orange expired on June 30, 2024, but the City did not receive the standard renewal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) from the County until March 2025, and had to execute multiple individual user agreements (Attachment D) prior to submitting the MOU submittal package now before the City Council. The new MOU (Attachment A) authorizes use of the mass notification system for five more years (December 30, 2024, to December 30, 2029). Staff find extreme value in this new feature and its ability to disseminate critical and time-sensitive information to Yorba Linda residents and businesses.

As with the previous MOU, the County of Orange funds the AlertOC system for all participating cities. The County agrees to continue funding the system through December 30, 2029. In the event this funding is no longer available, the City will be notified and will have the opportunity to terminate the MOU. Staff recommends that the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the MOU with the County of Orange for Use of the Countywide Public Mass Notification System for December 30, 2024, to December 30, 2029.

FISCAL IMPACT
None. There is no cost share or City expense associated with this project.

County of Orange and Orange County Operational Area
Countywide Public Mass Notification System
Operating Guidelines

Effective: June 30, 2008 Revised: October 15, 2024
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of these Operating Guidelines is to describe the use and administration of AlertOC, the Orange County Public Mass Notification System (“System”) by the County of Orange (“County”), County agencies and departments (“Agencies”), and local jurisdictions authorized by the County Board of Supervisors (“Jurisdictions”). This document will provide roles and responsibilities at the regional level. Individual Jurisdictions/Agencies should create and maintain subordinate procedures which incorporate the regional concepts outlined below. The step-by step procedures for activation and use will be maintained in a separate document maintained by each jurisdiction/agency as a part of their emergency response plans for overall planning and response efforts. A copy of these guidelines shall be maintained in PrepareOC.

This document does not supersede any policy and procedures outlined in the Memorandum of Understandings signed by participating agencies, but should be used to support the use of the System.

Authorized users must respect the integrity of the System, understand the regulatory and privacy issues, and fully comply with the guidelines outlined in this document.

II. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The primary intent of the System is to disseminate early warning and time sensitive information to County businesses and community members during an emergency event. The System is only one component of the County of Orange public warning system. As deemed fit by local authorities, the System should be used in conjunction with the other public warning mechanisms including, but not limited to: route alerting, the Emergency Alert System, outdoor warning systems, and press releases.

The System is available 24/7 and has been pre-loaded with Orange County landline phone numbers (including unlisted) and countywide geographic maps. Additionally, community members have the option to provide additional contact information via self-registration portal AlertOC.gov with link access from county and all participating entity websites. The System will be used to send messages, describing the situation, impacted area, and recommended action the public should take, to affected businesses and community members via telephone, e-mail, and/or text.

The County is the sponsor of the System and will take appropriate measures to ensure that the System is in a state of operational readiness at all times. It is the responsibility of all participating Agencies to maximize community member benefits from the System.

While the County’s intent for implementing and maintaining the System is for “emergency” use, upon consent from local authorities, cities may optionally use the System to disseminate “government-related” non-emergency notifications to community members and organization resources within its jurisdiction.

County of Orange and Orange County Operational Area
Countywide Public Mass Notification System
Operating Guidelines

Participating Jurisdictions may have an unlimited number of Local Users. Local Users will have access to community member contact records within their Jurisdiction or Service District. Local Users will be authorized and managed by the Local Administrator and may have varied system permissions. For Water Retail Water Agencies, Local Users may use the System to send emergency notifications to the public by using preestablished GIS shape files or the system’s interactive map feature to identify their water users.

Local Users are responsible for obtaining Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) software and will require MFA software to be functional for access to the System.

If a local user has access to send Alert and Warning messaging to the public then the local user should perform monthly tests including:

3. Checking message receipt to ensure message was delivered

County of Orange and Orange County Operational Area
Countywide Public Mass Notification System
Operating Guidelines

VII. AUTHORIZED USE
A. Emergency Public Notifications
Legal restrictions exist related to issuing different types of messages through the System.

All Users are required to know and understand these restrictions. The Form in Attachment B delineates the requirements for each type of message.

As a general principle, the System is to be used when the public is being asked to take some action (e.g. evacuate, prepare to evacuate, shelter in place, boil tap water before drinking, local assistance centers and other follow up information, re-entry to an area after evacuation orders have been lifted or termination of the emergency because the danger has passed).

Use of the System for emergency activity contains two components: (1) the need to disseminate critical, safety-related information to individuals regarding emergency events occurring now, follow up information regarding the event and termination of the emergency event, and (2) communicating with safety-responder staff, volunteers and involved parties about the emergency event.

Emergency Public Notifications are limited to:

1. Imminent or perceived threat to life or property

2. Disaster notifications

3. Evacuation notices

4. Public health emergencies

5. Public safety emergencies

6. Any notification to provide emergency information to a defined community The following criteria should be used to assist with determining the need to issue an alert:

1. Severity. Is there a significant threat to public life and safety?

2. Public Protection. Is there a need for members of the public to take a protective action in order to reduce loss of life or substantial loss of property?

3. Warning. Will providing warning information assist members of the public in making the decision to take proper and prudent action?

4. Timing. Does the situation require immediate public knowledge in order to avoid adverse impact?

5. Geographical area. Is the situation limited to a defined geographical area? Is that area of a size that will allow for an effective use of the system, given the outgoing call capacity?

6. Are other means of disseminating the information inadequate to ensure proper and time delivery of the information?

7. Is the message being sent follow up information to an emergency event in progress? If the answer to ALL of these questions is “Yes”, then an activation of the System for emergency purposes may be warranted.

County of Orange and Orange County Operational Area
Countywide Public Mass Notification System
Operating Guidelines

Illustrations of incidents which may be Emergency Public Notifications are included in Attachment A.

Participating Agencies are authorized to develop pre-established notification lists and messages related to specific types of emergencies. The circumstances for using these lists should be documented within County emergency plans and annexes approved by the Emergency Management Council, and their establishment coordinated with the County Administrator. Such documentation should include which forms of System notification will be used (e.g., opt-in agency data). During emergencies, messages will be coordinated with the Operational Area Emergency Operations Center or OCSD-EMD. These lists may include special populations (e.g. in-home care, schools, etc.) or those susceptible to certain risks (e.g. homes within dam inundation zone). It is the responsibility of the participating Agency to create, maintain and update these lists.

B. Emergency Responder Notifications
Emergency Responder Notifications are limited to:

1. Contacting first responders to advise of an emergency

2. Contacting first responders to report for duty due to an emergency

3. Contacting key staff regarding an emergency or crisis situation

4. Contacting agency employees/DSWs to report at a different time or location (or provide an update) due to an emergency

5. Exercises
Emergency considerations:

1. Notification shall clearly state situation is an emergency

2. Message length shall not exceed 60 seconds

3. Message shall have a call back number specific to the agency issuing the notification.

4. It is highly recommended all messages are recorded using a real voice and not the computer transcriber.

5. It is highly recommended to provide a phone number or website where the public can obtain additional or updated information

6. An all clear notification should be sent when applicable C. Non-Emergency Public Notifications
Non-emergency public notification use is prohibited for any of the following purposes:

1. Any message of commercial nature

2. Any message of a political nature

3. Any non-official business (e.g. articles, retirement announcements, etc.)

4. To send a message to an E911 obtained data source
E911 data is cannot be used for non-emergency use except for testing according to the law California Public Utilities Code (CPUC) sections 2872 and 2891.1 and violators may be subject to criminal enforcement. Any Agency or Jurisdiction in violation of this term may have their use of the System suspended or their individual access revoked.

County of Orange and Orange County Operational Area
Countywide Public Mass Notification System
Operating Guidelines

No Jurisdiction shall use the System for non-emergency public announcements unless a separate contract with the Vendor is established. Cost associated with non-emergency public notifications is the responsibility of the local Jurisdiction. Jurisdictions will be limited to using the self-registering portal entry data only when launching non-emergency messages.

Jurisdictions who contract to use the System for non-emergency activity agree to give precedence to emergency notification call-outs by delaying or terminating non-emergency notification sessions if needed to increase emergency message success. The primary concern for point of failure in this situation is not the System, but the telephone port capacity of local phone providers responsible for delivering calls to community members and businesses.

D. Inter-Department Communication
Each participating Agency and Jurisdiction is authorized to create employee/volunteer and department call lists and pre-recorded messages. Agencies and Jurisdictions may use the System for non-emergency inter-departmental business communication as needed, without cost. It is recommended that individual Agencies identify where this would add value to their operations and establish separate written protocols and procedures for this use. Interdepartmental users will have permission to inter-departmental contact information only and are authorized to use the System solely for inter-departmental communication including but limited to first responder or volunteer call-outs.

VIII. ACTIVATION OF THE SYSTEM
Each Jurisdiction is responsible for launching messages to affected community members and businesses within their Jurisdiction or Service District. • For messages launched by Jurisdictions on their own behalf, Jurisdictions are responsible for identifying and documenting who has the authority to launch messages.
• For messages launched by the County on behalf of Jurisdictions, the County requires the message be authorized by either the City Manager, City Police Chief, City Fire Chief, City Emergency Manager, or by public safety personnel on the incident scene with Incident Commander approval. Exigent circumstances will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis if the preceding individuals are not available.

The County of Orange and Orange County Operational Area Alert and Warning Plan is incorporated by reference. This document delineates the processes for coordinating all alert and warning notifications, including those transmitted using this System.

IX. LIMITATIONS OF THE SYSTEM
Every effort will be made by the County to ensure the System operates in the manner described in the SOP. However there are limitations of technology which may cause the system to fail or provide inconsistent message delivery. Some of these limitations include:
• Cell Phone Disruptions
• Cell Phone Reception Coverage
• Public Safety Power Shutoff events

County of Orange and Orange County Operational Area
Countywide Public Mass Notification System
Operating Guidelines

X. ROUTINE TESTING
Monthly System tests will be conducted to ensure that use of the System in an emergency is optimized and users are familiar with operation. All users should perform monthly message proficiency tests. Users who do not login and perform a message proficiency test at least yearly are subject to removal as a user from the System.

The System will have an annual regional test. This includes testing operational readiness, activation procedures and system effectiveness as well as validating data and system processes. Through the annual test exercise, System administrators and users will be able to observe the mode of operation to augment and refresh System and process knowledge.

Specific test exercise routines, roles, responsibilities and schedule will be detailed in the County of Orange and Operational Area Alert and Warning Plan.

By signing the Mass Notification System MOU, participating Jurisdictions agree to take part in System drills and exercises.

XI. CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECURITY
Through the “Memorandum of Understanding between the County of Orange and Participants for use of Countywide Mass Notification System,” each agency is bound in writing to the confidentiality obligations sufficient to permit agencies to fully perform its obligations under this policy or the vendor agreement. Jurisdictions and Agencies shall be responsible for:

1. Ensuring users have completed an appropriate background check and undergone annual security awareness training.

2. Protecting Confidential Information (CI) contained within the system against accidental or unauthorized use, modification, dissemination, or destruction.

3. Ensuring that users maintain the confidentiality of all user login and password information;

4. Ensuring that users follow the 90 day password expiration limit;

5. Ensuring that users use the service in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, including those relating to use of personal information;

6. Immediately notifying the County Administrator of any security incident that could lead to the unauthorized access, use, modification, dissemination, or destruction of CI contained within the system.

7. Any breach of the terms of this policy or the vendor agreement by any user; and

8. All communications by users using the service.

XII. COSTS
The County of Orange agrees to fund the System for notifications classified as “emergency use.” The County of Orange also agrees to continue to obtain updated E911 telephone data and geographic maps.

Costs associated with use of the System for non-emergency activity is the responsibility of the local Jurisdiction through separate contract with the Vendor.

BOARDS APPROVE PENSION FUNDING POLICY
The Boards of Directors of the San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor Agency (SJHTCA) and the Foothill/Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency (F/ETCA) have approved the establishment of a Pension Funding Policy aimed at proactively addressing future pension liabilities. The policy reflects fiscal responsibility in managing pension obligations and strategically addresses the Transportation Corridor Agencies’ (TCA) pension plan’s unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL), if one were to exist in the future. TCA provides its full-time employees with a defined pension plan through the Orange County Employee Retirement System (OCERS) which is funded by employee and employer contributions.

In 2019, the Boards of Directors authorized the payoff of the Agencies’ UAAL, providing a present value savings of approximately $2.5 million. Since that action, TCA has not incurred an additional UAAL.

This action aligns with the Boards’ Strategic Plan and reflects the Agencies’ ongoing commitment to maintaining financial flexibility, supporting strategic initiatives, and upholding best practices in governance.

COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEMWIDE TRAFFIC

STUDY TO SUPPORT STRATEGIC PLANNING
The Boards approved a task order with Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. to conduct a comprehensive Systemwide Traffic Study (STS) to inform the timing of future capital improvement projects, support long-range planning for The Toll Roads, and inform staff engagement with local, regional, and state partners. This study is generally done every five to seven years, with the last study completed in 2020.

The STS will evaluate current and projected traffic conditions across The Toll Roads network, which includes State Routes 73, 133, 241, and 261. The study will also include the development of a traffic microsimulation model to assess future operational conditions and guide the timing of TCA’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects.

This effort reflects the Boards’ commitment to data-driven decision-making and strategic investment in infrastructure.

The overarching goal is to identify potential operational and capacity enhancements that will preserve free-flow travel and ensure the continued reliability of The Toll Roads.

TCA STAFF PRESENTS CONCEPTS RECEIVED FOR REUSE OF TOLL PLAZAS As part of the Boards’ approved Strategic Plan, TCA staff were charged with evaluating innovative reuse opportunities for underutilized toll plazas, staff issued a Request for Information (RFI) to gather ideas that could benefit local communities. While three proposals were received and reviewed in coordination with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), none were deemed feasible at this time, due to current jurisdictional and design constraints. Concepts received, such as Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations, could be implemented under certain requirements and may become more viable in the future should legislative barriers be reduced or policy changes occur at the state level.

Additional concepts received outside the RFI process are also under consideration. These include a potential Caltrans maintenance station at the Tomato Springs Toll Plaza and continued coordination with the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) to explore fire-mitigation opportunities at TCA sites where it would be beneficial to the community. Staff will continue coordinating with Caltrans, OCFA, and other stakeholders to evaluate future proposals and maintain an open channel for new ideas via the Agencies’ website.
(Continued)

BOARDS APPROVE PACIFICA BUILDING JOINT OWNERSHIP TRANSACTION With future building improvements approved by the Boards of Directors earlier this year, SJHTCA and F/ETCA agreed to the sale of a 50 percent share of the 125 Pacifica Building, headquarters for the TCA, operators of The Toll Roads, from F/ETCA to SJHTCA. The purchase allows the Agencies to share equally in the cost of the Pacifica Building remodel project, all future building improvements, utilities, and maintenance, while also sharing equally in the residual value of the building if it were to be sold. Since 1999, SJHTCA has leased space from F/ETCA while sharing costs of common staff and operating the customer service center. These costs will continue to be shared between both Agencies as TCA processes transactions for the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) and future tolling agency partners.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER REPORT
CTC Public Hearing Demonstrates Strong Support for TCA’s Tolling Authority Request for the 241/91 Express Connector Project CEO Ryan Chamberlain provided the Boards with an update on the California Transportation Commission (CTC) public hearing held on October 1, 2025, regarding the 241/91 Express Connector project. The hearing, a required step for agencies seeking tolling authority under AB 194, was well attended and marked by strong local and regional support, with no opposition. TCA received enthusiastic endorsements from transportation partners, including Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC), and Caltrans, as well as numerous letters of support from elected officials, business and government organizations, chambers of commerce, and labor representatives.

CTC Commissioners heard a comprehensive overview of the project, including its benefits and operational details. The next step in the process is for the application for supplemental tolling authority to be considered at an upcoming CTC meeting in December. CEO Chamberlain expressed appreciation to the F/ETCA Board of Directors and TCA staff, along with local partners, for their collaboration and continued support in advancing this critical regional transportation project.

Toll Processing Partnership with Capital Area Regional Toll Authority Moves Forward At its Board of Director’s October 15 board meeting, CEO Chamberlain shared that the Capital Area Regional Toll Authority (CARTA) unanimously approved the selection of TCA as CARTA’s preferred back-office and customer service partner, directing CARTA staff to engage with TCA in cost negotiations and contract development.

Similar to TCA’s toll processing partnership with SBCTA, the partnership for account management and payment processing services will improve efficiencies in processing transactions and reduce costs to both TCA and CARTA by sharing back-office systems.

DATE: NOVEMBER 4, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL
FROM: JAMIE LAI, P.E., DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER PREPARED BY: RICK YEE, P.E., DEPUTY PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR SUBJECT: RATIFY THE CITY MANAGER’S PROCLAMATION OF EMERGENCY TO

APPROVE EMERGENCY PROCUREMENT PROCEDURES ASSOCIATED

WITH CRITICAL STORM DRAIN REPAIR REQUIRED AT THE LEMON

DRIVE AND IMPERIAL HIGHWAY INTERSECTION

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Ratify the City Manager’s declaration of an emergency pertinent to the critical storm drain and pipeline repairs required at the intersection of Lemon Drive and Imperial Highway by adopting Resolution 2025-5955; and,

2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to conduct necessary emergency procurement procedures, including award of contracts for which the cumulative total will not exceed $200,000 in advance of the next regularly scheduled Council meeting; and,

3. Transfer $200,000 to the Lemon Drive and Imperial Highway Emergency Storm Drain Repair Project (MS261001) utilizing funds available from the Lakeview Avenue Widening Project (SI201003); and,

4. Direct staff to return to Council at the next regularly scheduled meeting, and as required by the City’s municipal code thereafter, to provide an update regarding the emergency conditions.

BACKGROUND
On Monday, October 27, 2025, the City of Yorba Linda’s Public Works staff discovered voids in the subsurface during a curb ramp replacement at the corner of Lemon Drive and Imperial Highway. Upon further investigation, it was determined that the voids were related to portions of a failed storm drainpipe that was allowing water to disperse into the surrounding soil. Staff has been able to mitigate the voids in the subsurface. However, the failed portions of the storm drainpipe should receive immediate repair to address the source of the problem.

Absent the immediate repair of the storm drainpipe, the surrounding soil will be subject to further water intrusion with the potential of unstable soil conditions in the subsurface.

A CCTV investigation was performed on the subject of storm drainpipe to determine the limits of the pipe damage. The subject pipe is primarily corrugated metal pipe (CMP) which has also been the cause of other similar pipe failures experienced in the recent past. It is anticipated that portions of the CMP will require full replacement with new pipe while other portions may be candidates for structural pipelining to restore their integrity. The results of the CCTV are being analyzed, and the limits of each type of pipe rehabilitation will be determined after further discussion with the City’s engineering consultants.

On Wednesday, October 29, 2025, the City Manager, acting in his capacity as Director of Emergency Services, signed a proclamation of the existence of a local emergency, pursuant to Section 2.32060(A)(1) of the Yorba Linda Municipal Code. The proclamation notes that extreme peril to the safety of persons has arisen in the City of Yorba Linda due to an unstable subsurface condition resulting from a compromised underground storm drainpipe. This condition presents a potential hazard to motorists and pedestrians at the intersection of Imperial Highway and Lemon Drive and must be repaired as quickly as is feasible.

DISCUSSION
City staff regularly conduct procurement and consultant solicitation efforts for Public Projects in accordance with the City’s Administrative Policies, specifically the Purchasing, Bidding and Contracting Policy (A-F-5). However, when urgent project needs arise, such as in the case of an emergency repair, staff must circumvent standard procurement processes in order to preserve or protect life, health, or property, or to forestall a shutdown of essential public or contracted service. The City’s Emergency Purchasing Policy and Yorba Linda Municipal Code Section 3.04.130(A) allows the City Manager to declare a public emergency and take any directly related and immediate action required by the emergency and may expend funds up to $200,000 (threshold) for Public Projects without the use of competitive or formal bids.

The City’s purchasing policy allows for emergency expenditures for Public Projects exceeding $60,000, providing they are reported by the City Manager at the next regular meeting of the City Council and at every meeting thereafter. The policy also allows the City Manager to take any directly related and immediate action required and expend funds up to the threshold for public projects without the use of competitive or formal bids, providing that an emergency is declared. However, emergency expenditure above the threshold shall be approved by the City Council. In order to conduct the emergency repairs and project activities in a safe and timely manner, waiver of formal bidding requirements pursuant to the City’s purchasing policy is being requested.

The total cost of the storm drain repair and associated improvements is not yet fully known at this time. It is anticipated that immediate costs will be incurred to relocate a traffic signal pole and mast arm that is situated directly above the damaged storm drainpipe. City staff is

D R I V E A N D I M P E R I A L H I G H W A Y I N T E R S E C T I O N P a g e | 3
working with its consultants to prepare options for repair and to identify associated costs.

The requested amount of $200,000 is intended to cover these costs, and any other immediate pipe repair needs that may be necessary.

Upon approval of the recommendations in this report, including adoption of Resolution 2025- 5955, staff will return with a report at the next regularly scheduled meeting to provide an update regarding the emergency conditions. It is anticipated that staff will be requesting additional funds at an upcoming Council meeting once the cost of repair is fully identified.

Updates will be provided to Council until the emergency conditions have been deemed to no longer exist.

FISCAL IMPACT
A transfer of $200,000 from Lakeview Avenue Widening Project (SI201003) to the Lemon Drive and Imperial Highway Emergency Storm Drain Repair Project (MS261001) is funded from budgetary savings resulting from the bid contract amount to CT&T Contract Paving Inc. for the Lakeview Avenue Widening Project between Oriente Drive and Bastanchury Road awarded on October 21, 2025 being lower than anticipated. Additional funding will be requested at a future City Council meeting to fully fund the project once the total costs have been identified.

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may elect not to approve the recommended action of ratifying the proclamation of an emergency approval of procurement procedures. However, that would significantly limit staff’s ability to procure contract services in a timely manner to address a repair situation that should receive immediate attention.
