FROM: JAMIE LAI, P.E. DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER PREPARED BY: COLIN TSUI, P.E., ASSOCIATE CIVIL ENGINEER SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2025-5956 AUTHORIZING THE SUBMISSION OF THE CITY’S APPLICATION FOR CTFP FUNDING FOR THE

BASTANCHURY ROAD REGIONAL TRAFFIC SIGNAL

SYNCHRONIZATION PROJECT

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2025-5956 authorizing a Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program application for the Bastanchury Road Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Project.

BACKGROUND
Administered by the Orange County Transportation Authority, the Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program (CTFP) provides regional funding for road improvement projects. Approximately $42 million in Measure M2 funds is to local agencies and OCTA requires agencies to submit a City Council Resolution that commits to funding proposed projects.

DISCUSSION
The Bastanchury Road Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Project (RTSSP) is a strategic investment in improving regional mobility throughout north Orange County. The signal synchronization improvements will enhance traffic flow, reduce travel times, and decrease vehicle emissions by minimizing idling at intersections.

The project corridor extends approximately 11.4 miles, beginning west of Malvern Avenue in Fullerton and ending at Village Center Drive in Yorba Linda (Attachment 1). The project includes 38 signalized intersections (16 in Yorba Linda - Rose Drive to Village Center Drive).

The CTFP funds would pay for design, construction, and a two-year post-construction monitoring period.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City is required to commit a funding match to be eligible for CTFP funds. The application proposes a 20 percent match. The estimated project cost is approximately $3.2 million split

between Yorba Linda, Placentia and Fullerton. The portion of the project in Yorba Linda is estimated to cost $1.01 million and the City’s 20 percent match is approximately $200,000 (OCTA will contribute the remaining $810,000).

There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. If OCTA selects the project, a funding recommendation will return to the City Council in spring 2026.

ALTERNATIVES
Do not accept the recommendation which would eliminate the City’s opportunity for OCTA to fund 80 percent of the design and construction costs for the Bastanchury Road corridor traffic signal synchronization.

Re: Proposal to Provide Solid Waste Consultant Services Dear Ms. Callahan:

HF& H Consultants ( HF& H) is pleased to submit this proposal to the City of Yorba Linda ( City) to provide solid waste consultant services. HF& H has a long history of successfully providing these services to jurisdictions throughout California since 1989.

We believe that HF& H brings the following qualifications and benefits to the City:

1. We are an industry recognized thought-leader in environmental strategic planning, goal setting, policy development and program implementation. Clients of HF& H receive innovative and pragmatic solid waste and recycling plans that have been developed with decade' s worth of diverse experience.

Our pioneer role in the zero- waste planning field, assisting communities such as the cities of San Diego, Santa Monica, and Livermore, and the County of San Diego, has provided us with an unmatched menu of services and programs, as well as unrivaled implementation experience. This range of experience allows us to develop both short and long-term goals that meet the specific needs of our clients, while maintaining a realistic understanding of the impacts on client costs and diversion.

2. HF& H is regarded as the industry expert for SB 1383 compliance. In 2019, CalRecycle engaged HF& H to develop a stakeholder input group and create Model SB 1383 Implementation Tools and Guidance.

These model tools were developed to support jurisdictions and other regulated entities across the state with implementing programs and policies to reach compliance with SB 1383 regulations. The model tools include a Model Enforcement Ordinance, Model Procurement Policy, Model Franchise Agreement, and Model Food Recovery Agreement. In total, HF& H has worked with over 70 communities throughout California, representing over 7 million residents, continuously adapting compliance to fit a variety of real-world conditions. Our range of experience supporting California jurisdictions with SB 1383 includes, but is not limited to, strategic planning, cost modeling, sole source and competitive procurements, ordinance development, and engagement in the regulatory process.

3. We identify the individual needs of our clients. At HF& H we partner with key stakeholders, including City Council, City staff, residents, and other applicable parties, to set measurable, achievable goals.

Ms. Callahan
January 19, 2022

The purpose of these goals is to meet the specific needs of the community and achieve regulatory compliance while minimizing the financial impact on ratepayers. Again, our experience has helped us develop a vast array of facilitation methods, including online surveys, webinars, live streams, and council workshops. HF& H staff includes SWANA and CRRA certified zero waste instructors.

4. HF& H does not provide solid waste consulting services to waste haulers. HF& H exclusively provides consulting services to municipalities for the better interest of our clients and to avoid potential conflicts of interest that may arise in firms that attempt to serve public agencies and haulers. We believe this independence is particularly important for objective proposal evaluation and effective negotiations during the procurement of a solid waste services agreement. Additionally, our municipal focus ensures that we are aware of the unique requirements of public officials.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide you with this information. We look forward to an opportunity to continue our partnership with the City. If you have any questions, please contact Haley Kunert at hkunert@hfh- consultants. com.

Very truly yours,

HF& H CONSULTANTS, LLC

CRITICAL STORM DRAIN REPAIR FOR LEMON AND IMPERIAL

HIGHWAY STORM DRAIN

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Affirm the November 4, 2025 Local Emergency Proclamation and determine that the need for the Local Emergency Proclamation still exists by adopting Resolution No. 2025-5958; and,

2. Transfer $350,000 to the Lemon Drive and Imperial Highway Emergency Storm Drain Repair Project utilizing savings from the Lakeview Avenue Widening Project; and,

3. Authorize the City Manager to conduct necessary emergency procurement procedures, including award of a construction contract, in an amount not to exceed $550,000; and,

4. Direct staff to provide updates at City Council meetings regarding the emergency conditions.

BACKGROUND
The City Manager, acting as the Director of Emergency Services, issued a Proclamation of the Existence of a Local Emergency on October 29, 2025. The City Council ratified that proclamation (Resolution No. 2025-5955) on November 4, 2025, and is required to affirm the ratification at each meeting thereafter (until the repair is complete) to utilize emergency purchasing procedures established in the Municipal Code, California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act, and Public Contract Code.

DISCUSSION
Following the City Council’s ratification of the Emergency Proclamation, Public Works has developed a project scope and the storm drain repair and associated improvements are estimated to cost $550,000.

FISCAL IMPACT
$200,000 has been appropriated for the Lemon Drive and Imperial Highway Emergency Storm Drain Repair Project. The remaining $350,000 can be funded with savings from Lakeview Avenue Widening Project.

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may elect not to approve the recommended action. However, that would significantly limit the City’s ability to resolve the emergency and repair storm drain in a timely manner.

It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2025-5957 confirming the costs to abate the public nuisance at private property (APN: 348-271-20, APN: 348-191-37, APN: 343-641-01) and ordering the collection of costs as a special assessment lien on the properties.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On October 21, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-5954 declaring that seasonal and recurring weeds growing upon or in front of property in the city constitutes a public nuisance and providing for the abatement weeds and recovery of abatement costs as a special assessment against each parcel.

Following the adoption of the Resolution, the City contracted for the removal of the weeds and dead vegetation. The cost of abatement, including administrative costs, constitutes a special assessment against the parcel. After the assessment is made and confirmed, it is a lien on the parcel and is collected in the same manner as ordinary municipal taxes.

FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of abatement, including administrative costs, was:

APN: 348-271-20 $851.08
APN: 348-191-37 914.64
APN: 343-641-01 $2,658.00
TOTAL: $4,423.72
A one-time special assessment of $4,423.72 will be added to the Orange County property tax roll to reimburse the City’s General Fund.

ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2025-5957 CONFIRMING THE COSTS TO ABATE WEEDS AT APN: 348-271-20, 348-191-37, AND 343-641-01; AND ORDERING THE COLLECTION

OF COSTS AS A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT LIEN
P a g e | 2

ALTERNATIVES

CITY CLERK'S OFFICE
DATE: NOVEMBER 18, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: MARCIA BROWN, CMC, CITY CLERK
PREPARED BY: ALLISON ESTES, ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL COMPENSATION

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council discuss and provide direction regarding City Council compensation.

BACKGROUND
At the August 19, 2025, City Council meeting, Councilmember Huang requested a discussion regarding Councilmember compensation. A majority consensus of the City Council supported adding a discussion item to the agenda, and the attached self-reported Councilmember compensation data from other Orange County cities was compiled.

City Council compensation for General Law cities is governed by California Government Code Section 36516, which establishes maximum salary levels (based on city population) and specifies that compensation changes cannot take effect during a Councilmember’s current term, but may take effect when one or more members begin a new term following an election.

DISCUSSION
Yorba Linda Councilmember compensation is $500 per month and was last updated in 2013.

In 2017, the City Council approved a Resolution (attached) providing Councilmembers a $100 monthly auto allowance. The Resolution also incorporates Measure JJ (approved November 2014), which excludes Councilmembers from City-paid health insurance and CalPERS pension benefits, and requires Councilmembers participate in a part-time deferred compensation plan.

For cities with populations between 50,001 and 75,000, state law sets the maximum allowable Councilmember salary at $1,600 per month and limits annual compensation increases to the greater of 5% per year (from the last adjustment) or the percentage change in the California Consumer Price Index (capped at 10% per year).

CITY COUNCIL COMPENSATION

FISCAL IMPACT
None. Should Council choose to consider an adjustment to Councilmember compensation, analysis of the fiscal impact will be provided at a future meeting. Any adjustment cannot occur until after the November 2026 City Council election.
