BACKGROUND The City of Santa Ana, California, is rich in culture and pride, the county seat of Orange County, and encompasses an area of approximately 27 square miles. For more information, please visit https://www.santa-ana.org/ II. OVERVIEW OF PROJECT The City is seeking proposals from qualified firms and organizations (Proposers) to develop affordable housing in the City. Proposed developments may be for acquisition and rehabilitation of eligible properties for rental and/or ownership housing units; acquisition and conversion of non-residential property to rental and/or ownership housing units; and/or the new construction of housing units for rental and/or ownership housing. The term “Vendor”, “Proposer”, and “Contractor” shall refer to any legal entity or entities submitting a proposal in response to this Request for Proposals (RFP). A. Priorities and Objectives In particular, the City is interested in furthering the following priorities through this RFP: 1) Acquisition and rehabilitation projects that consist of substantial rehabilitation and will impose long-term affordability covenants on the units. Acquisition and rehabilitation projects include adaptive reuse and/or motel/office conversion projects that will result in income-restricted housing units. 2) Projects that will provide homeownership opportunities. 3) By-right or shovel-ready projects. [A by-right project is one that can be approved administratively without discretionary approvals because it already complies with all applicable zoning and development standards. A shovel-ready project refers to a project that is fully prepared to begin construction immediately or within no more than three (3) months.] Projects that comply with any of these three (3) priorities and objectives will receive 10 bonus points in the RFP scoring criteria as further outlined below. Leveraging of Additional Funding Sources: In an effort to develop as many units as possible, the City desires to limit the amount of City financial assistance provided to each project. As such, the City strongly encourages Proposers to seek additional outside funding sources to reduce the financial assistance request of the City. Examples of these outside funding sources include (but are not limited to): Low Income Housing Tax Credits, Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) funding, State of California funds, County of Orange funds and/or any other funding sources deemed appropriate by the Proposer. B. Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) Goals The Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) is mandated by the State of California as part of the periodic process for updating the City’s Housing Element. The City is provided with a RHNA allocation to be met in eight (8) year cycles. The current RHNA cycle covers 2021 through 2029. The following table provides the City’s progress through 2024 in meeting the RHNA allocations for Very Low, Low and Moderate Income with respect to the 2021-2029 RHNA Goals: EXHIBIT 1     City Council 9 – 7 4/21/2026 CITY OF SANTA ANA Progress Towards 2021-2029 RHNA Goal (New Housing Units by Category and Year) Income RHNA 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Total Units Total Units Remaining % of RHNA Completed Very Low 606 41 191 64 48 81 425 181 70% Low 362 43 102 113 81 101 440 (78) 122% Mod. 545 11 41 84 65 73 274 271 50% Above Mod. 1,624 639 567 2,281 70 61 3,618 (1,994) 223% Total: 3,137 734 901 2542 264 316 4,757 (1,620) 152% Based on building permits issued.

DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES The City has established three (3) development priorities for this RFP: A. Acquisition / Rehabilitation Projects As referenced in the City’s 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Housing Element, the City has established a Multiple-Family Acquisition and Rehabilitation Program. The objective of this program is to provide financial assistance to support the acquisition, rehabilitation and construction of new multiple-family properties to preserve and increase affordable housing opportunities for lower income households through the following programs: (1) Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund (LMIHAF) including land assets owned by the Housing Successor Agency; (2) Inclusionary Housing Fund (Inclusionary); (3) HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME); (4) Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG); (5) Project-Based Voucher Program (PBV); and (6) HOME- American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP). Proposed developments may be for the acquisition and rehabilitation of eligible properties for rental and/or ownership housing; acquisition and conversion of nonresidential property to multifamily housing units; and/or new construction of housing units for rental and/or ownership housing. Once per year, the City’s objective is to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the development of affordable housing in the city. The objective is to finance the development of at least one multifamily affordable housing project per year. B. Homeownership Opportunities Both the Strategic Plan and the City’s Housing Element identify affordable ownership housing suitable for larger households as a high priority for the City. In addition, the City of Santa Ana will be targeting low-income and moderate-income households within the City, including veterans, teachers, fire fighters and/or large families. One (1) of the primary rating criteria is the depth of homeownership. The City desires proposed projects to have dedicated units for low-income families earning no more than 80% Area Median income (AMI). Project design and construction will be subject to and carried out in accordance with established City standards and procedures. In accordance with the City’s Early EXHIBIT 1     City Council 9 – 27 4/21/2026 CITY OF SANTA ANA Outreach policy (Attachment 1), the selected developer may be required to solicit significant neighborhood input during the design process. C. By-Right or Shovel-Ready Projects A by-right project is one that can be approved administratively without discretionary approvals because it already complies with all applicable zoning and development standards. A shovel-ready project refers to a project that is fully prepared to begin construction immediately or within no more than three (3) months. Many of the City’s available funding sources have expenditure deadlines associated with them. As such, the City desires to prioritize projects that can begin construction quickly. Thefore, the City has established a priority for by-right or shovel-ready projects. If applying under this priority, please make sure to provide sufficient documentation demonstrating that the proposed project is by-right or shovel- ready. IV. CITY OF SANTA ANA COMMUNITY WORKFORCE AGREEMENT (CWA) The City of Santa Ana has established a CWA with the goal of ensuring that the community is a part of the workforce on public works construction projects. The CWA applies to City-funded affordable housing projects, and imposes requirements on the project that will be enforced in any final agreement with the City. The Developer will be solely responsible for compliance with the CWA and ensuring any contractors comply with the CWA. Among other things, the CWA requires that all contractors working on CWA covered projects participate in a process for us ing local and skilled workers from the union hiring halls of the various construction trades. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to ensure that the project’s craft hours are performed at least 30% by workers from Tier 1 and 2 ZIP codes and/or veterans and Building Trades Multi-Trade Craft Core Curriculum Pre- Apprenticeship Program graduates, regardless of where they live. Tier 1 ZIP codes are those comprising the City of Santa Ana and Tier 2 ZIP codes are those comprising Orange County. The local hire attainment will be calculated by dividing the hours reported as performed by local workers on Certified Payroll Reports by the total number of hours reported on Certified Payroll Reports. It is the prime Contractor’s responsibility to determine how to attain that goal. Although each subcontractor is not required to meet the goals, the project overall must meet it. V.

High HOME Rent Limits. If a low-income family is participating in a program where the family pays as a contribution toward rent no more than 30 percent of the family’s monthly adjusted income or 10 percent of the family’s monthly income, then the maximum rent due from the family is the family’s contribution. For other cases, the maximum HOME rents are the lesser of: i. The fair market rent for existing housing for comparable units in the area as established by HUD; or ii. A rent that does not exceed 30 percent of the adjusted income of a family whose annual income equals 65 percent of the median income for the area, as determined by HUD, with adjustments for number of bedrooms in the unit. In rental projects with five (5) or more HOME-assisted rental units, twenty (20) percent of the HOME- assisted units must be occupied by very low-income families. If a very-low income family is participating in a program where the family pays as a contribution toward rent no more than 30 percent of the family’s monthly adjusted income or 10 percent of the family’s monthly income, then the maximum rent due from the family is the family’s contribution. All other Low HOME rents must meet one (1) of following rent requirements: (1) The rent does not exceed 30 percent of the annual income of a family whose income equals 50 percent of the median income for the area, as determined by HUD, with adjustments for smaller and larger families. However, if the rent determined under this paragraph is higher than the applicable rent under 24 CFR 92.252(a)(1)(i), then the maximum rent for units under this paragraph is that calculated under 24 CFR 92.252(a)(1)(i). (2) The rent does not exceed 30 percent of the family's adjusted income. (3) The unit is a Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) unit and has rents not greater than the gross rent for the rent-restricted residential units as determined under 26 U.S.C 42(g)(2). Minimum Periods of Affordability for Rental Housing The HOME-assisted housing must meet the affordability requirements for not less than the applicable period specified in the following table, beginning after project completion. The per unit amount of HOME funds and the affordability period that they trigger are described more fully below: Rental Housing Activity Length of the Affordability Period Rehabilitation of Acquisition of Existing Housing: Less than $25,000 Per Unit 5 years $25,000 - $50,000 Per Unit 10 years More than $50,000 15 years New Construction or Acquisition of Newly Constructed Housing 20 years Throughout the affordability period, income-eligible households must occupy the HOME-assisted housing. When units become vacant during the affordability period, subsequent tenants must be income eligible and must be charged the applicable HOME rent. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 9 – 33 4/21/2026 CITY OF SANTA ANA Affordable Homeownership Housing Projects (§ 92.254) HUD considers Affordable Homeownership Housing as housing that is for acquisition by a family that meets the following affordability requirements:  The housing must be single-family housing. HUD defines “Single Family Housing” as a one- to-four family residence, condominium unit, cooperative unit, combination of manufactured housing and lot, or manufactured housing lot.  The housing must be considered modest housing with maximum purchase prices (inclusive of all subordinate loans) limited to the following: 2024 Maximum HOME Purchase Prices* 1-Unit 2-Unit 3-Unit 4-Unit New Construction** $789,000 $1,009,000 $1,222,000 $1,514,000 Existing Homes** $789,000 $1,009,000 $1,222,000 $1,514,000 *As of issuance of this RFP, HUD had not published updated maximum HOME purchase prices for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 **In 2024, the maximum HOME purchase prices for New Construction and Existing Homes are the same. Eligible Homebuyers and Affordable Sales Prices The housing must be acquired by a homebuyer whose family qualifies as a low-income family, and the housing must be the principal residence of the family throughout the period described below. In determining the income eligibility of the family, the City will include the income of all persons living in the housing. The homebuyer must receive housing counseling. Each home must be sold at an affordable sales price, which will be less than the maximum HOME purchase prices described above. The affordable sales price must be based on the income limits published by HUD, and incorporate applicable housing expenses such as utilities, HOA fees, insurance, and property taxes. If there is no ratified sales contract with an eligible homebuyer for the housing within 9 months of the date of completion of construction or rehabilitation, the housing must be rented to an eligible tenant in accordance with § 92.252. Periods of Affordability and Recapture Provisions The HOME-assisted housing must meet the affordability requirements for not less than the applicable period specified in the following table, beginning after project completion. The per unit amount of HOME funds and the affordability period that they trigger are described more fully below: HOME Assistance per Unit or Buyer Length of the Affordability Period Less than $25,000 5 years $25,000 - $50,000 10 years More than $50,000 15 years The City incorporates a recapture requirement into written agreements and long -term affordability covenants for homebuyer assistance activities administered by the City as required by 24 CFR 92.254. For any homebuyer assistance activity implemented by subrecipients or CHDOs, this recapture requirement shall also be used. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 9 – 34 4/21/2026 CITY OF SANTA ANA The amount subject to recapture is the direct HOME subsidy received by the homebuyer. Direct HOME subsidy includes the HOME investment that enabled the homebuyer to purchase the property. This includes down payment assistance, closing costs, or other HOME assistance provided directly to the homebuyer and/or the difference between the fair market value of the property (as determined by appraisal) and a reduced sales price attributable to HOME development assistance. The recapture provision ensures that the entire amount of the City's direct HOME subsidy to homebuyers is recaptured if the housing does not continue to be the principal residence of the family for the duration of the applicable period of affordability (e.g., the home is sold, the home is foreclosed, the assisted owner is no longer residing in the assisted residence, or for any other breach of the agreement with the City). The HOME-assisted homebuyer may sell their unit at any time during the period of affordability, to any willing buyer, and at the price the market will bear. The recapture provision requires that the City’s direct HOME subsidy and any interest due under the HOME loan (that has not previously been repaid) is returned to the City from net proceeds first, subject to the limitation that if there are no net proceeds or the net proceeds are insufficient to repay the HOME investment due, the City may only recapture the net proceeds, if any. Net proceeds are defined as the sales price minus superior loan repayment (other than HOME funds), and any closing costs. In the event of a mortgage default, a provision in the written agreement and long-term affordability covenant stipulates that the City has the right of first refusal before foreclosure and may use additional HOME funds or other resources to acquire the housing in order to preserve the housing’s affordability. Other Requirements Minimum Loan: All HOME investments must total not less than $1,000 multiplied by the number of HOME-assisted units in the project. Maximum Loan: The maximum amount of subsidy per unit shall not exceed the maximum allowed by HUD under the HOME program (24 CFR 92.250). The City will avoid unnecessary layering of subsidies from different federal, state and local programs and seek to maximize the benefit to target households from the investment of HOME funds in a project. The Housing Division will use HUD’s Cost Allocation Tool to identify the maximum subsidy per unit for each project. The current Maximum Per-Unit HOME Program Subsidy Limits are: Unit Size Subsidy Limit 0 Bedroom Units $181,488 1 Bedroom Units $208,049 2 Bedroom Units $252,994 3 Bedroom Units $327,293 4 & 5 Bedroom Units $359,263 Property Standards: Housing that is assisted with HOME funds must meet, at a minimum, the City’s Property Standards, including all applicable local, State and Federal codes and regulations. Newly constructed housing must also meet the current edition of the Model Energy Code published by the Council of American Building Officials. Substantially rehabilitated housing must meet the cost- effective energy conservation and effectiveness standards in 24 CFR 39. Labor Standards/Construction Contracts: Any contract for construction (whether it is for rehabilitation or for new construction) of affordable housing with 12 or more units assisted with HOME funds must contain a provision requiring that not less than the prevailing wages paid in the locality, as determined by the Secretary of Labor pursuant to the Davis-Bacon Act, will be paid to all EXHIBIT 1     City Council 9 – 35 4/21/2026 CITY OF SANTA ANA laborers and mechanics employed in the development of the project. Contracts over $10,000 must comply with Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action requirements of Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968. All efforts shall be made to provide equal opportunity for employment without discrimination as to race, marital status, sex, color, age, religion, national origin or ancestry, and to seek out qualified local tradespeople for contracting and subcontracting bids. Contractors and subcontractors must comply with regulations issued under this Act and pertaining to labor standards and HUD Handbook 1344.1. These provisions apply whether HOME funds are used for construction or non-construction costs. Lead-based Paint: Housing assisted with HOME funds constitutes HUD-associated housing for the purpose of the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act and the Lead Safe Housing Rule, and is therefore subject to 24 CFR Part 35. Unless otherwise provided, borrowers are responsible for testing and abatement. Build America, Buy America (BABA): Projects that receive HOME funding must comply with the requirements of the Build America, Buy America Act, 41 USC 8301 et. seq., and all applicabl e rules and notices, as may be amended, if applicable. Pursuant to HUD’s Notice, “Public Interest Phased Implementation Waiver for FY 2022 and 2023 of Build America, Buy America Provisions as Applied to Recipients of HUD Federal Financial Assistance” (88 FR 17001), any funds obligated by HUD on or after the applicable listed effective dates, which will likely include a portion of the HOME funding awarded under this NOFA, are subject to BABA requirements, unless excepted by a waiver. For more information, please see: https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/baba/ For more information related to HOME Funding requirements, please see 24 CFR Part 92. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 9 – 36 4/21/2026 CITY OF SANTA ANA C. HOME-AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN PROGRAM (HOME-ARP) Source of Funds Funding for this Program is provided through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HOME-American Rescue Plan Program (HOME-ARP), and therefore is subject to the federal rules and regulations found in CPD Notice 21-10 and 24 CFR Part 92, as amended from time to time. Please review CPD Notice 21-10 if you are applying for this source of funds. Eligible Borrowers/Grantees Eligible borrowers are nonprofit Housing Development Corporations (HDC’s) duly organized to promote and undertake community development activities on a not-for-profit basis, and which have a valid 501(c)(3) or (4) designation from the IRS, or for-profit housing developers or development corporations, with proven capacities to develop, own, and operate affordable housing. Limited partnerships whose general partners are otherwise eligible under the above are also eligible to borrow Program funds. Eligible Uses HOME-ARP funds may be used to acquire, rehabilitate, or construct affordable rental housing primarily for occupancy by households of individuals and families that meet the definition of the following Qualifying Population: (1) Homeless, as defined in Section 103(a) of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 11302(a)). Unlike the regular HOME Program, which targets HOME-assisted rental units based on tenant income, 70 percent of all HOME-ARP units must admit households based only upon their status as qualifying households. Eligible Activities (1) HOME-ARP funds may be used to acquire, rehabilitate, or construct affordable rental housing primarily for occupancy by households of individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness (“qualifying households” or “qualifying population”). Eligible HOME-ARP rental housing includes “housing” as defined at 24 CFR 92.2, including but not limited to manufactured housing, single room occupancy (SRO) units, and permanent supportive housing. The City of Santa Ana will give a preference to literally homeless individuals. Units restricted for occupancy by qualifying households must be occupied by households that meet the definition of a qualifying population at the time of admission to the HOME-ARP unit. HOME-ARP funds may be used for acquisition, construction, and rehabilitation, including reconstruction as defined in 24 CFR 92.2, of affordable rental housing for qualifying and low-income households. Acquisition of vacant land or demolition must be undertaken only with respect to a particular housing project intended to provide HOME-ARP rental housing within the timeframes provided in CPD Notice 21-10. A HOME-ARP rental project must meet the definition of project in 24 CFR 92.2. HOME-ARP funds may be used to assist one (1) or more units in a project. Only the eligible development costs of the HOME-ARP units may be charged to the HOME-ARP program. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 9 – 37 4/21/2026 CITY OF SANTA ANA The City may pay ongoing operating cost assistance or capitalize an operating cost assistance reserve for HOME-ARP-assisted units restricted for occupancy by qualifying populations in a project where the City determines in its underwriting that the reserve is necessary to maintain the HOME - ARP units’ long-term operational feasibility. However, HOME-ARP funds cannot be used for both a capitalized operating cost assistance reserve and ongoing payments for operating cost assistance during the minimum compliance period. The allowable amount of the reserve shall not exceed the amount determined by the City to be necessary to provide operating cost assistance for HOME-ARP units restricted for occupancy by qualifying populations for the 15-year HOME-ARP minimum compliance period. Please see CPD Notice 21-10 for more information on this assistance. (1) A non-congregate shelter (NCS) is one (1) or more buildings that provide private units or rooms as temporary shelter to individuals and families and does not require occupants to sign a lease or occupancy agreement. HOME-ARP funds may be used to acquire and develop HOME-ARP NCS for individuals and families in qualifying populations. This activity may include but is not limited to the acquisition of land and construction of HOME-ARP NCS or acquisition and/or rehabilitation of existing structures such as motels, hotels, or other facilities to be used for HOME-ARP NCS. HOME-ARP funds may not be used to pay the operating costs of HOME-ARP NCS. HOME-ARP NCS units may only be occupied by individuals or families who are experiencing homelessness. The City of Santa Ana will give a preference to literally homeless individuals (“qualifying households”). HOME-ARP funds may be used to acquire and/or rehabilitate or construct HOME-ARP NCS units to serve qualifying households. Acquisition of vacant land or demolition of existing structures may be undertaken only as part of a HOME-ARP NCS project. HOME-ARP NCS units acquired and/or developed with HOME-ARP funds must meet the requirements of CPD Notice 21-10, i.e., be used as HOME-ARP NCS or used as emergency shelter under ESG for the restricted use period established in Section VI.E.9 of the Notice. Referral Methods for Projects The City will use the Orange County Coordinated System (CE) for referrals for eligible projects described above. Under 24 CFR 578.3, a CE is a centralized or coordinated process designed to coordinate program participant intake assessment and provision of referrals within a defined area. HUD requires each Continuum of Care (CoC) to establish and operate a CE with the goal of increasing the efficiency of local crisis response systems and improving fairness and ease of access to resources, including mainstream resources. The City will permit the Orange County CoC CE to collect information and documentation required to determine whether an individual or family meets the criteria of a HOME-ARP qualifying population at any point in the coordinated entry process, (i.e., after or concurrently with the assessment and intake processes) as long as that information is not used to rank a person for HOME-ARP assistance other than as specified by the preferences or method of prioritization established by the City, in accordance with HOME-ARP requirements. Preference The City of Santa Ana will give a preference to literally homeless individuals. Literally homeless means an individual or family who lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence, meaning: 1. Has a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not meant for human habitation, including: o Cars o Parks o Abandoned buildings o Bus or train stations EXHIBIT 1     City Council 9 – 38 4/21/2026 CITY OF SANTA ANA o Airports o Camping grounds OR 2. Is living in a publicly or privately operated shelter designed to provide temporary living arrangements, including: o Emergency shelters o Congregate shelters o Transitional housing for homeless persons o Hotels or motels paid for by charitable organizations or by federal, state, or local government programs for low-income individuals OR 3. Is exiting an institution where: o They resided for 90 days or less, and o Immediately before entering the institution, they met one of the criteria above (1 or 2). The City will also have a local residency preference for literally homeless individuals with strong ties to the City of Santa Ana. [If a project is selected for these funds, the City will need to request an amendment to their approved HOME-ARP Allocation Plan from HUD to serve literally homeless instead of chronically homeless individuals.] Eligible Costs HOME-ARP funds may pay for up to 100 percent of the following eligible costs associated with HOME-ARP rental units: (1) Development hard costs include the actual cost of constructing and rehabilitating housing to meet applicable property standards. Eligible development costs also include site improvements, utility connections and costs to construct or rehabilitate laundry and community facilities located within the same building as the HOME-ARP housing; (2) Refinancing of existing debt secured by a HOME-ARP rental project rehabilitated with HOME- ARP funds; (3) Acquisition costs of improved or unimproved real property (4) Related soft costs including reasonable and necessary costs incurred by the PJ or project owner associated with the financing, development, acquisition, or rehabilitation of HOME-APR rental housing; (5) Relocation costs as defined in 24 CFR 92.206(f), 24 CFR 92.353, and the Notice; (6) Certain costs related to the payment of construction, bridge, or guaranteed loans, if HOME- ARP is part of original financing; and (7) Operating cost assistance, through a capitalized operating reserve or ongoing operating cost payments, for HOME-ARP units restricted for occupancy by qualifying households Ineligible Uses and Activities HOME-ARP may not be used for any of the prohibited activities, costs or fees in 24 CFR 92.214, as revised by the Appendix to CPD Notice 21-10. For HOME-ARP NCS for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, HOME-ARP funds may not be used to: EXHIBIT 1     City Council 9 – 39 4/21/2026 CITY OF SANTA ANA (1) Pay any operating costs of a HOME-ARP NCS project. (2) Provide additional HOME-ARP investment in a HOME-ARP NCS project during the restricted use period, except that additional HOME-ARP funds can be invested in the project up to one (1) year after project completion in IDIS for eligible costs. (3) Pay costs of a conversion of HOME-ARP NCS as described in Section VI.E.11 of this Notice. (4) Provide non-Federal matching contributions required under any other Federal program. (5) Provide assistance for uses authorized under section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g) (Public Housing Capital and Operating Funds). (6) Provide assistance to eligible low-income housing under 24 CFR part 248 (Prepayment of Low-Income Housing Mortgages). (7) Pay for the acquisition of property owned by the PJ, except for property acquired by the PJ with HOME-ARP NCS funds, or property acquired in anticipation of carrying out a HOME-ARP NCS project. (8) Pay delinquent taxes, fees, or charges on properties to be assisted with HOME-ARP NCS funds. (9) Pay for any cost that is not eligible under CPD Notice 21-10. Affordability Requirements HUD provides the following maximum HOME-ARP rent limits. The maximum HOME-ARP rents are the lesser of: (1) The fair market rent for existing housing for comparable units in the area as established by HUD; or (2) A rent that does not exceed 30 percent of the adjusted income of a family whose annual income equals 65 percent of the median income for the area, as determined by HUD, with adjustments for number of bedrooms in the unit. The HOME-ARP rent limits provided by HUD will include average occupancy per unit and adjusted income assumptions. In rental projects with five (5) or more HOME-ARP assisted rental units, not less than 70 percent total HOME-ARP rental units must be restricted for occupancy by qualifying households at time of household’s initial occupancy. Not more than 30 percent of total HOME-ARP assisted rental units may be restricted for occupancy by low-income households and meet one (1) of following rent requirements: (1) The rent does not exceed 30 percent of the annual income of a family whose income equals 50 percent of the median income for the area, as determined by HUD, with adjustments for smaller and larger families. HUD provides the HOME rent limits, which include average occupancy per unit and adjusted income assumptions. However, if the rent determined under this paragraph is higher than the applicable rent under 24 CFR 92.252(a), then the maximum rent for units under this paragraph is that calculated under 24 CFR 92.252(a). (2) The rent does not exceed 30 percent of the family's adjusted income. If the unit receives Federal or State project-based rental subsidy and the very low-income family pays as a contribution toward rent not more than 30 percent of the family's adjusted income, then the EXHIBIT 1     City Council 9 – 40 4/21/2026 CITY OF SANTA ANA maximum rent (i.e., tenant contribution plus project-based rental subsidy) is the rent allowable under the Federal or State project-based rental subsidy program. (3) To ensure that HOME-ARP investments yield affordable housing over the long term, HOME- ARP imposes rent and occupancy requirements over the length of an affordability period. HOME-ARP Period of Affordability A minimum compliance period of fifteen (15) years for all HOME-ARP rental units irrespective of the amount of subsidy per unit or whether the units are acquired, rehabilitated, and/or newly constructed. Throughout the affordability period, income-eligible households must occupy the HOME-ARP assisted housing. When units become vacant during the affordability period, subsequent tenants must be income eligible and must be charged the applicable HOME-ARP rent. Other Requirements Minimum Loan: All HOME-ARP investments must total not less than $1,000 multiplied by the number of HOME-ARP assisted units in the project. Maximum Loan: The maximum per-unit subsidy established in NAHA does not apply to HOME-ARP units. One-hundred percent of the eligible and reasonable HOME-ARP costs allocated to a HOME- ARP unit, including operating costs assistance associated with the units restricted for occupancy by qualifying households. All costs paid by HOME-ARP funds must comply with the requirements of the Cost Principles at 2 CFR part 200, subpart E of the Uniform Administrative Requirements, as amended. Property Standards: HOME-ARP rental units must comply with all property standards applicable to rental projects required in 24 CFR 92.251 paragraphs (a) new construction, (b) rehabilitation projects, (c) (1) and (2) acquisition of standard housing, (e) manufactured housing, and (f) on-going property condition standards. Labor Standards/Construction Contracts: Any contract for construction (whether it is for rehabilitation or for new construction) of affordable housing with 12 or more units assisted with HOME-ARP funds must contain a provision requiring that not less than the prevailing wages paid in the locality, as determined by the Secretary of Labor pursuant to the Davis-Bacon Act, will be paid to all laborers and mechanics employed in the development of the project. Contracts over $10,000 must comply with Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action requirements of Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968. All efforts shall be made to provide equal opportunity for employment without discrimination as to race, marital status, sex, color, age, religion, national origin or ancestry, and to seek out qualified local tradespeople for contracting and subcontracting bids. Contractors and subcontractors must comply with regulations issued under this Act and pertaining to labor standards and HUD Handbook 1344.1. These provisions apply whether HOME-ARP funds are used for construction or non-construction costs. Lead-based Paint: Housing assisted with HOME-ARP funds constitutes HUD-associated housing for the purpose of the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act and the Lead Safe Housing Rule, and is therefore subject to 24 CFR Part 35. Unless otherwise provided, borrowers are responsible for testing and abatement. For more information, please see CPD Notice 21-10. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 9 – 41 4/21/2026 CITY OF SANTA ANA D. LOW AND MODERATE INCOME HOUSING ASSET FUND (HOUSING SUCCESSOR AGENCY FUND) The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana acts as the Housing Successor Agency for the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Ana. The Housing Authority administers housing assets and associated responsibilities transferred by the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Ana. Source of Funds Funding sources for this program are generated from proceeds from the sale of former Redevelopment Agency housing assets, residual receipts from former Redevelopment Agency assets (i.e. loans), as well as a portion of the loan repayments from the former Redevelopment Agency to the City. Sources are set aside for the purpose of increasing, improving and preserving the community’s supply of low and moderate income housing as stipulated by California Health and Safety Code Section 34176. This fund includes land assets owned by the Housing Authority acting as the Housing Successor Agency that must be developed for affordable housing or sold at or above fair market value to increase the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund. Eligible Borrowers/Grantees Eligible borrowers are nonprofit Housing Development Corporations (HDC’s) duly organized to promote and undertake community development activities on a not-for-profit basis, or for-profit housing developers or development corporations, with proven capacities to develop, own, and operate affordable housing. Limited partnerships whose general partners are otherwise eligible under the above are also eligible to borrow Program funds. Eligible Projects All new construction projects shall be affordable to households whose income, as adjusted for household size, does not exceed 80% of area median income. Eligible acquisition and/or rehabilitation projects will: (1) Have four (4) or more apartments or be congregate housing or mobile home units, except where the Housing Division Manager finds that the project will provide a substantial public benefit; (2) Be in need of rehabilitation as defined herein; (3) Be located in the City of Santa Ana; (4) Be free from significant adverse environmental conditions, except those that can be mitigated at a reasonable cost through rehabilitation; and, (5) Minimize tenant displacement.

Eligible uses of deferred payment loan funds or grants include, but are not limited to, the following: EXHIBIT 1     City Council 9 – 42 4/21/2026 CITY OF SANTA ANA (1) Acquisition and/or rehabilitation of eligible properties for rental and/or homeownership housing; (2) Acquisition and conversion of non-residential property to multifamily rental and/or homeownership housing units; and (3) New construction of housing units for rental and/or homeownership housing. Affordability Requirements As required by State law, all projects shall be targeted to households earning 80% or less of the area median income, based on the State of California Housing and Community Development income and rent limits. State law also requires that at least thirty percent (30%) shall be expended for rental housing affordable to and occupied by “low-income” households does not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the area median income and no more than twenty percent (20%) affordable to and occupied by households between 60% of the area median income and 80% of the area median income. Units are considered affordable when the rent, less a deduction for a utility allowance, for a “very low- income” household does not exceed thirty percent (30%) of 50% of the area median income; for a “low-income” household does not exceed thirty percent (30%) of 60% of the area median income. Very low-income households are households whose incomes do not exceed 50% of the area median income. Low-income households are households whose incomes do not exceed 80% of the area median income. The area median income as referenced above is the Orange County area median income figure, adjusted for household size, as published by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) from time to time. Security The loan or grant shall be secured by a Deed of Trust and Promissory Note which may be subordinated to deeds of trust securing other Federal, State, or City loans, or loans from conventional financing institutions used in conjunction with the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund loan on the same property. The City must obtain written commitments to protect the City’s investment in the event of a default. The City must review all requests for subordination, and may approve or deny at the City’s sole discretion. The loan or grant shall be further secured by recorded Affordability Covenants and Restrictions, running with the land, to assure that Program funds are used to provide long-term affordable rental or ownership housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income households. The Borrower and the City shall execute and record Affordability Covenants and Restrictions regulating project rents/sales, tenant selection procedures, use of project income, management and maintenance, transfer of property, and permitted forms of ownership and use, including a prohibition on conversion of the project to condominium or stock cooperative ownership for the term of the recorded Affordability Covenants and Restrictions. The recorded Affordability Covenants and Restrictions shall provide for the longest feasible time. Notwithstanding the above, the Affordability Covenants and Restrictions would in no event, be shorter than any other term of a Regulatory Agreement or Covenant recorded concurrently with the City’s Covenants and Restrictions. The Affordability Covenants and Restrictions shall be recorded with the Deed of Trust. In some circumstances, these Affordability Covenants and Restrictions may be subordinated by the City, pursuant to Section 33334.14 of California Health and Safety Code, to liens, encumbrances, or EXHIBIT 1     City Council 9 – 43 4/21/2026 CITY OF SANTA ANA regulatory agreements of other federal or state agencies or lenders providing financing for the project, subject to assurances by senior lenders that the City’s lien rights will be protected. For more information, please see California Health and Safety Code and applicable regulations set forth in Section 34176.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No DISCUSSION On February 3, 2026, the City Council directed the City Manager to have the Santa Ana Police Department (SAPD) conduct and present a comprehensive review of the Department’s response to the Anti-ICE demonstrations that occurred in June 2025. This report provides a summary of operational actions, resource deployment, and compliance with applicable policies and legal standards. Beginning June 9, 2025, the City of Santa Ana experienced a series of civil demonstrations consistent with regional ICE activity. These events were primarily concentrated in the downtown area, public parks, and key transit corridors. In response, SAPD implemented a coordinated, multi-day operational plan designed to protect individuals’ First Amendment rights while ensuring public safety and safeguarding critical infrastructure. All operations were conducted in accordance with Department policy, California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) guidelines, and applicable state law, with a continued emphasis on de-escalation, proportionality, and accountability. To meet operational demands, SAPD increased staffing levels, implemented personnel rotations to mitigate fatigue, and requested mutual aid from regional law enforcement partners. Assisting agencies included: June 9, 2025: Orange County Sheriff’s Department; Garden Grove Police Department; Anaheim Police Department; Costa Mesa Police Department; Newport Beach Police Department;     City Council 10 – 1 4/21/2026 June 2025 Anti-ICE Demonstrations – SAPD Response Update April 21, 2026 Page 2 5 6 8 8 Huntington Beach Police Department; Orange Police Department; California Highway Patrol; Brea Police Department; Laguna Beach Police Department; Fullerton Police Department; Placentia Police Department; Fountain Valley Police Department; Westminster Police Department; Irvine Police Department; and Tustin Police Department.

Enforcement actions during this period resulted in a total of 27 arrests, including 23 misdemeanor arrests and four felony arrests. Reported injuries included five arrestees, three SAPD officers, and seven assisting officers from outside agencies. All uses of force, including less-lethal munitions and chemical agents, were applied in accordance with legal and Department policy requirements, and were properly documented and reviewed. Consistent with the requirements of California Assembly Bill 48 (AB 48) governing the use and oversight of military equipment, the Department monitored, documented, and evaluated all qualifying incidents involving such equipment. During the June 2025 demonstrations, SAPD identified four incidents that met AB 48 reporting criteria. Each incident was reviewed to ensure compliance with Department policy and state guidelines, with equipment deployment determined to be authorized, proportionate, and appropriate under the circumstances. These incidents have been incorporated into the Department’s annual military equipment use report to ensure transparency and facilitate City Council and community oversight. During the June 2025 demonstrations, SAPD deployed the following less-lethal and chemical agent munitions: June 9, 2025: (105) 40mm Less Lethal Munitions (29) CS Chemical Agent Munitions June 10, 2025: (19) 12 Gauge Less Lethal (bean bag) Munitions (23) 40mm Less Lethal Munitions (6) CS Chemical Agent Munitions     City Council 10 – 2 4/21/2026 June 2025 Anti-ICE Demonstrations – SAPD Response Update April 21, 2026 Page 3 5 6 8 8 June 11, 2025: (28) 12 Gauge Less Lethal (bean bag) Munitions (42) 40mm Less Lethal Munitions June 14, 2025: (12) 12 Gauge Less Lethal (bean bag) Munitions (45) 40mm Less Lethal Munitions In total, SAPD deployed (215) 40mm Less Lethal Munitions, (59) 12 Gauge Less Lethal Munitions, and (35) CS Chemical Agent Munitions over the course of the response. The response to the June 2025 Anti-ICE Demonstration events required enhanced staffing levels, extended deployments, and mutual aid coordination, resulting in increased personnel costs, including overtime. The Department expended a total of $501,863 during the month for the public safety enhanced services related to the Anti-ICE Demonstrations. Of that total amount, the department spent $399,257 responding to the protests during four specific dates (June 9, 10, 11, and 14).

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No DISCUSSION All non-Federal entities that expend $750,000 or more of Federal awards each fiscal year are required to obtain a Single Audit to comply with the regulations of the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The Single Audit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 has been completed by the City’s independent auditor, CliftonLarsonAllen LLP. During the fiscal year 2024-25, the City administered twenty-three (23) Federal grant programs and expended $122.8 million, representing an increase of $2.9 million from the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to additional spending of $5.2 million in Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, $2.2 million in HOME Investment Partnership, $5.5 million in Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery, offset by decreases in Highway Planning & Construction of $6.0 million, Community Development Block Grants of $1.0 million, WaterSMART of $1.1 million, and Reclamation States Emergency Drought Relief of $1.5 million. Of the twenty-three (23) programs administered by the City, the auditors identified two major programs for the audit: Housing Voucher Cluster ($66.0 million) and the HOME Investment Partnerships Program ($2.6 million). The Finance and Management Services Agency is pleased to report that the City received an unmodified opinion commonly known as a clean opinion; which is considered the most favorable conclusion for the audit. The unmodified opinion indicates that the City has complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. Additionally, there were no findings related to the compliance requirements of the two major programs selected for test work.     City Council 11 – 1 4/21/2026 Receive and File the Single Audit Report for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 April 21, 2026 Page 2 5 7 0 1 The report (Exhibit 1) is posted and available on the City’s website (https://www.santa- ana.org/financial-reports) along with prior fiscal years and has been submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse.

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.     City Council 11 – 5 4/21/2026 Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council City of Santa Ana 2 Report on Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Purpose of This Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. CliftonLarsonAllen LLP Irvine, California December 12, 2025     City Council 11 – 6 4/21/2026 3 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR FEDERAL PROGRAM, REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE, REPORT ON THE SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE, SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF STATE AWARDS REQUIRED BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AND HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA FINANCIAL DATA SCHEDULES REQUIRED BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council City of Santa Ana Santa Ana, California Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program Opinion on Each Major Federal Program We have audited the City of Santa Ana’s (the City) compliance with the types of compliance requirements identified as subject to audit in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of the City’s major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2025. The City’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditors’ results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2025. Basis for Opinion on Each Major Federal Program We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Our responsibilities under those standards and the Uniform Guidance are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City’s compliance requirements referred to above. CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen LLP) is an independent network member of CLA Global. See CLAglobal.com/disclaimer.  CliftonLarsonAllen LLP  CLAconnect.com      City Council 11 – 7 4/21/2026 Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council City of Santa Ana 4 Responsibilities of Management for Compliance Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the City’s federal programs. Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the City’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and, therefore, is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the City’s compliance with the requirements of each major federal program as a whole. In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance, we:  Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  Obtain an understanding of the City’s internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.     City Council 11 – 8 4/21/2026 Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council City of Santa Ana 5 Report on Internal Control Over Compliance A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified. Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.     City Council 11 – 9 4/21/2026 Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council City of Santa Ana 6 Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Required by the Uniform Guidance, the Schedule of Expenditures of State Awards Required by the State of California, and the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana Financial Data Schedules Required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Santa Ana as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. We issued our report thereon dated December 12, 2025, which contained unmodified opinions on those financial statements. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the basic financial statements. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, the Schedule of Expenditures of State Awards, and the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana Financial Data Schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the Uniform Guidance, the State of California, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, respectively, and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, the Schedule of Expenditures of State Awards, and the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana Financial Data Schedules are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

The information in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance).

Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance for all awards. The information in the SEFA is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes DISCUSSION Assembly Bill 939 (AB 939) and Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383) mandate waste diversion from landfills and require jurisdictions to implement recycling programs that include a robust public education component. The City of Santa Ana maintains compliance with these state requirements through a combination of diversion programs, recycling initiatives, and ongoing public education efforts, including a contract with the Discovery Science Center of Orange County (DSCOC). Since 2013, the City has contracted with DSCOC to deliver waste reduction and recycling education through its award-winning Eco Challenge exhibits, including Race to Recycle, Eco Garage, Discovery Market, and the Organic Waste Lab. These exhibits provide interactive, hands-on learning experiences designed to promote behavioral change across all age groups through educational content, stage presentations, and demonstrations. As part of this contract service, DSCOC also administers a targeted program for Santa Ana residents known as “Santa Ana Waste Free Days.” Through this program, Santa Ana residents receive free admission to the Discovery Cube to participate in customized educational programming focused on recycling, organics diversion, and proper waste disposal practices. While residents do not pay an admission fee to attend these events,     City Council 14 – 1 4/21/2026 Agreement with Discovery Science Center of Orange County for Solid Waste Public Education Services April 21, 2026 Page 2 5 6 9 5 the City fully funds the cost of participation as part of its compliance with state- mandated public education and outreach requirements. This arrangement ensures equitable access to high-quality environmental education while supporting the City’s obligation to report annually on school and community education efforts under AB 939 and SB 1383. The City’s previous agreement with DSCOC operated under a year-round programming model with an annual contract amount of $135,000, totaling $675,000 over a five-year term. During that same period, program participation has increased significantly in recent years. Attendance grew from 3,715 residents in 2022 to 5,380 in 2023, peaking at 8,523 in 2024, with 7,954 participants in 2025. The program now serves approximately 8,000 residents annually, with peak participation occurring between June and August, representing roughly 4,500 attendees. In response to increased demand, DSCOC initially proposed a revised 2026 agreement with a full-year program and an annual budget of $180,000. However, staff recommends maintaining the existing annual budget of $135,000. To maximize program effectiveness within this funding level, staff proposes transitioning from a year-round model to a seasonal program focused on peak participation months. The proposed 2026 agreement will concentrate programming and resident free days from May through October, when resident engagement is highest. The agreement is structured to expire in October 2026, aligning with the proposed seasonal programming period and allowing the City flexibility to assess future program delivery options. This includes the potential development of in-house environmental education programming, such as recycling and organics diversion initiatives at the Santa Ana Zoo. While the City continues to evaluate long-term strategies to meet evolving state education requirements, DSCOC remains an effective service provider. As a recognized leader in science and environmental education, DSCOC provides an established and effective platform to enhance community awareness and support regulatory compliance. The proposed agreement establishes a service target of 7,000 residents during the 2026 term. The updated program structure includes refined educational elements, enhanced outreach and marketing efforts, and continued alignment with the City’s environmental compliance objectives. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the agreement with DSCOC to continue providing high-quality environmental education programming to Santa Ana residents at no direct cost to participants, while ensuring the City remains in compliance with AB 939 and SB 1383.     City Council 14 – 2 4/21/2026 Agreement with Discovery Science Center of Orange County for Solid Waste Public Education Services April 21, 2026 Page 3 5 6 9 5 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action.

Approve an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Capital Improvement Program to include an additional $2,253,383 for the Railroad Crossings on Warner Avenue (Project 18-6901) and McFadden Avenue (Project No. 20-6962). 6. Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Union Pacific Railroad Company for improvements to the railroad crossing (DOT No. 761248L) on Warner Avenue for construction costs of $1,422,270, additional railroad right-of- way costs of $53,570 including an annual signal maintenance fee of $12,580, effective three years from agreement effective date.

Categorical Exemption Environmental Review Nos. ER-2026-XX and ER-2026-XX will be filed for Project Nos.18-6901 and 20-6962. GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes DISCUSSION Railroad Crossing Improvements Union Pacific Railroad (UPR) operates several railroad crossings throughout the City of Santa Ana. The City is responsible for maintaining roadway approaches and related surface improvements adjacent to these crossings within the public right-of-way per California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) General Order 72-B. When the City undertakes roadway maintenance or capital improvement projects near railroad crossings, staff must coordinate with Union Pacific and the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), the State agency that regulates railroad crossings, to review and approve proposed improvements. Under current CPUC General Order 88-B, railroad companies are not required to install or fund safety improvements associated with local street projects if the railroad has prior rights. As a result, when City initiates roadway widening, safety enhancements, or multimodal improvements that affect railroad crossing infrastructure, the City is responsible for funding the required modifications within the railroad right-of-way. Accordingly, the City must enter into agreements with Union Pacific to complete the necessary improvements and reimburse the railroad for the associated costs.     City Council 15 – 2 4/21/2026 Agreement for Railroad Crossing Improvements to Warner Avenue and McFadden Avenue April 21, 2026 Page 3 5 7 0 5 Although these improvements are required to accommodate the City’s roadway projects, they also provide significant public benefits by improving crossing safety, enhancing ride quality, and reducing long-term maintenance needs. The proposed upgrades are consistent with adopted City transportation and mobility planning documents and will enhance safety for motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Warner Avenue Improvements The Warner Avenue Widening and Protected Bike Lane Project was identified in several City Council-approved planning documents, including the Safe Mobility Santa Ana Plan (SMSA), the State Active Transportation Program (ATP), and the Central Santa Ana Complete Streets Plan (CSACS). The project includes bicycle and pedestrian improvements associated with the widening of Warner Avenue from four to six lanes, as well as landscaping, street lighting, traffic signal upgrades, storm drain improvements, and new curb, gutter, sidewalk, and pavement. The project also includes railroad grade crossing improvements designed to enhance safety, improve crossing conditions, provide traffic calming, and ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Construction of the project is scheduled for City Council consideration on April 21, 2026, with construction anticipated to begin in summer 2026. Within the project limits is an at- grade railroad crossing on Warner Avenue east of Standard Avenue (Exhibit 1). City staff met with representatives from Union Pacific and the CPUC to review the existing crossing conditions and evaluate necessary improvements. Due to the planned widening of Warner Avenue to a six-lane arterial roadway with bicycle facilities, the City must acquire additional railroad right-of-way and reconstruct the existing crossing to meet current design standards. The crossing will require full replacement with concrete panels and upgraded signal equipment. Under existing maintenance responsibilities per CPUC General Order 72-B, the City maintains the roadway approaches within the City right-of-way, while Union Pacific maintains the railroad signals and pavement within the railroad right-of-way. To improve long-term durability and reduce maintenance requirements, Union Pacific has agreed to replace the existing crossing with concrete panels and upgrade the railroad signal crossing gates. Because these improvements occur within railroad right-of-way and are required to accommodate the City’s roadway project, the City is responsible for funding the work per CPUC General Order 88-B. The proposed agreement (Exhibit 2) requires the City to reimburse Union Pacific for the installation of concrete panels and upgrades to the railroad signal crossing gates. Union Pacific has provided cost estimates for the improvements and the City’s share of project costs includes:     City Council 15 – 3 4/21/2026 Agreement for Railroad Crossing Improvements to Warner Avenue and McFadden Avenue April 21, 2026 Page 4 5 7 0 5 $53,570 for railroad right-of-way acquisition $12,580 in annual signal maintenance costs Construction improvements estimated at $1,422,270 These improvements will support the Warner Avenue widening project and ensure compliance with the requirements of the State’s Active Transportation Program grant. Upon completion, the upgraded crossing will provide a smoother and safer crossing for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists. Staff recommends approval of the proposed agreement with UPR for the Warner Avenue crossing improvements. McFadden Avenue Improvements The McFadden Avenue Improvement Project was also identified in the City Council- approved Safe Mobility Santa Ana Plan (SMSA), Active Transportation Program (ATP), and Central Santa Ana Complete Streets Plan (CSACS). The project includes bicycle and pedestrian improvements, landscaping, lighting, traffic signal upgrades, and new curb, gutter, sidewalk, and pavement improvements. The project also includes railroad grade crossing improvements designed to enhance safety, improve crossing conditions, provide traffic calming, and install new ADA-compliant sidewalks. These improvements will improve safety for students walking to Kennedy Elementary School. Construction of this project was awarded in September 2024 and is currently underway. Within the project limits is an at-grade railroad crossing on McFadden Avenue east of Standard Avenue, which is currently in poor condition (Exhibit 3). City staff met with representatives from Union Pacific and the CPUC to evaluate the crossing and determine the necessary improvements. The existing crossing consists of asphalt pavement on the roadway approaches and between the rails. Historically, this type of crossing requires frequent maintenance to maintain a smooth roadway transition through the crossing. Under existing maintenance responsibilities per CPUC General Order 72-B, the City maintains the roadway approaches within the City right-of-way, while Union Pacific maintains the railroad signals and pavement within the railroad right-of-way. To improve long-term performance and reduce maintenance requirements, Union Pacific has agreed to replace the existing asphalt crossing with concrete panels and upgrade the railroad signal crossing gates. Because the improvements occur within railroad right-of- way and are necessary to support the City’s street improvements, the City is responsible for funding the work per CPUC General Order 88-B. The proposed agreement (Exhibit 4) requires the City to reimburse Union Pacific for installation of the concrete crossing panels and signal upgrades. Union Pacific has     City Council 15 – 4 4/21/2026 Agreement for Railroad Crossing Improvements to Warner Avenue and McFadden Avenue April 21, 2026 Page 5 5 7 0 5 provided cost estimates for the improvements and the City’s share of the improvements shall not exceed $776,858, which includes construction costs as well as ongoing annual signal and surface maintenance costs payable to Union Pacific. Upon completion, the upgraded crossing will provide a smoother, safer, and more durable crossing for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists. Staff recommends approval of the proposed agreement with UPR for the McFadden Avenue crossing improvements. Public Outreach The Contractor shall conduct weekly meetings with City construction staff to review traffic control plans and lane closures for each phase of the project. Railroad crossing construction activities will typically be scheduled during weekends to minimize impacts to the community. Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) staff will coordinate with the City on the scheduling of all railroad-related work. The Contractor shall also install and maintain message boards along the roadway to inform the public of upcoming lane closures and construction activities. As part of standard community outreach practices, during the project design phase, staff coordinated with affected neighborhoods, schools, and businesses to present the project and collect community input. Upon Council approval of recommended actions, prior to start of construction, staff will notify affected neighborhoods, schools, and businesses of upcoming construction and distribute informational material including who to contact for additional information or to address issues of concern. To ensure timely and effective communication, the following notification measures will be implemented prior to the start of construction: Electronic message signs will be installed two weeks in advance of construction activities to provide early notice of the project’s start date, A project information sign will be posted at the construction site, including contact information for public inquiries, Residents and businesses within 1,000 feet of the project limits will receive door hanger or mailed notifications at least two weeks before construction begins, A second round of notification will be issued 48 hours prior to the start of construction to residents and business adjacent to the limits of work, and The City will also disseminate information through its official website and social media platforms to keep the public informed of construction activities, including any lane closures. The Contractor is required to issue construction notices to adjacent residents and businesses at least two weeks before construction begins. Additionally, the contractor is required to install signage at the project site indicating project details and contact information.     City Council 15 – 5 4/21/2026 Agreement for Railroad Crossing Improvements to Warner Avenue and McFadden Avenue April 21, 2026 Page 6 5 7 0 5 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT On September 1, 2015, City Council approved the Warner Avenue Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIR) (SCH No. 2012101004). The Warner Protected Bike Lanes Project received Caltrans approval under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA); a Categorical Exemption (CE) was approved on December 30, 2019. Caltrans revalidated the NEPA/CEQA document on May 27, 2025. Staff filed Categorical Exemptions Sections 15301(c) and 15304(h) have been recorded with the Orange County Clerk-Recorder Department, as Environmental Review No. ER- 2020-97 for the McFadden Avenue Protected Bike Lane Project improvements project document on November 25, 2020. The proposed Projects are exempt from further environmental review under Warner EIR and McFadden CEQA. This exemption applies when a previously certified Warner EIR and McFadden CEQA has adequately analyzed the environmental effects of an activity, and no new significant impacts would result from the proposed Project. If the proposed Project remains within the scope of the Warner EIR and McFadden CEQA and does not require a subsequent Environmental Impact Report (EIR), no additional environmental documentation is required. Therefore, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2026-XX for Warner and 2026-XX for McFadden, will be filed for the Projects. (Exhibit 5). FISCAL IMPACT With the approval of the requested appropriation adjustments, all funds will be available for expenditure in Fiscal Year 2025-26. Any remaining balances not expended at the end of the fiscal year will be presented to City Council for approval of carryovers into Fiscal Year 2026-2027. With the approval of the requested appropriation adjustments, $776,858 of the Measure M-Street Construction accumulated fund balance will be appropriated for spending in the Measure M2 Local Fairshare St, Improvements Other Than Buildings expenditure account (No. 03217662-66220). A portion of the Transportation System Improvement Area D accumulated fund balance will be appropriated for spending in the Transportation System Improvement Area D, Improvements Other Than Buildings expenditure account (No. 04417660-66220). The spendable portion of the fund balance is estimated to be $8,570 as of June 30, 2026, which is sufficient to allow for the recommended appropriation of $8,570.

Section 12. FUTURE PROJECTS Future projects involving substantial maintenance, repair, reconstruction, renewal and/or demolition of the Roadway shall not commence until Railroad and Political Body agree on the plans for such future projects, cost allocations, right of entry terms and conditions and temporary construction rights, terms and conditions. Section 13. ASSIGNMENT; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS A. Political Body shall not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of Railroad. B. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph A above, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of Railroad and Political Body. Section 14. SPECIAL PROVISIONS PERTAINING TO AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009 If the Political Body will be receiving American Recovery and Reinvestment Act ("ARRA") funding for the Project, the Political Body agrees that it is responsible in performing and completing all ARRA reporting documents for the Project. The Political EXHIBIT 2     City Council 15 – 14 4/21/2026 7 Body confirms and acknowledges that Section 1512 of the ARRA provisions applies only to a "recipient" receiving ARRA funding directing from the federal government and, therefore, (i) the ARRA reporting requirements are the responsibility of the Political Body and not of the Railroad, and (ii) the Political Body shall not delegate any ARRA reporting responsibilities to the Railroad. The Political Body also confirms and acknowledges that (i) the Railroad shall provide to the Political Body the Railroad's standard and customary billing for expenses incurred by the Railroad for the Project including the Railroad's standard and customary documentation to support such billing, and (ii) such standard and customary billing and documentation from the Railroad provides the information needed by the Political Body to perform and complete the ARRA reporting documents. The Railroad confirms that the Political Body and the Federal Highway Administration shall have the right to audit the Railroad's billing and documentation for the Project as provided in Section 11 of Exhibit B of this Agreement. Section 15. TERMINATION OF ORIGINAL AGREEMENT Upon the completion of the Roadway, the original agreement either governing currently, or any agreement to be found in the future at the existing at-grade crossing shall terminate and the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern the use, maintenance and repair of the Roadway. Section 16. ANNUAL SIGNAL MAINTENANCE FEE A. Effective as of three years from effective date of this Agreement or the date of installation and/or the in-service date of the new and/or improved or existing Grade Crossing Signal System(s) ("Signal System”), the Political Body, in addition to maintaining at its sole cost and expense the portion of the Roadway described in Section 2 of Exhibit B, agrees to pay to Railroad the sum of Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Eighty Dollars ($12,580.00) per annum, payable annually in advance, as payment for Railroad's maintenance of the Signal System that is installed at the Roadway. The annual signal maintenance fee is calculated as shown on the attached Exhibit E, attached hereto and made a part hereof. B. The above annual signal maintenance fee for Railroad's maintenance of the Signal System is based on the number of current signal units installed at the Roadway. If the Signal System is improved and/or altered in any way, the Political Body must notify the Railroad in writing and the annual signal maintenance fee will be increased at a rate based on the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance of Way Association (AREMA) signal unit cost index. If the Political Body fails to notify Railroad of any improvement or alteration to the Signal System, the Railroad may increase the annual signal maintenance fee at a rate based on the AREMA signal unit cost index any time after the date of installation and/or improvement of the Signal System. The signal unit base for the annual signal maintenance fee may also be re-determined by the Railroad at any time subsequent to the expiration of five (5) years following the date on which the annual signal maintenance fee was last determined or established. Any such changes in the annual signal maintenance fee referenced in Section 16 may be made by means of automatic adjustment in billing.

CONDITIONS AND COVENANTS A. The Railroad makes no covenant or warranty of title for quiet possession or against encumbrances. The Political Body shall not use or permit use of the Crossing Area for any purposes other than those described in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Political Body shall not use or permit use of the Crossing Area for railroad purposes, or for gas, oil or gasoline pipe lines. Any lines constructed on the Railroad's property by or under authority of the Political Body for the purpose of conveying electric power or communications incidental to the Political Body's use of the property for highway purposes shall be constructed in accordance with specifications and requirements of the Railroad, and in such manner as not adversely to affect communication or signal lines of the Railroad or its licensees now or hereafter located upon said property. No nonparty shall be admitted by the Political Body to use or occupy any part of the Railroad's property without the Railroad's written consent. Nothing herein shall obligate the Railroad to give such consent. B. The Railroad reserves the right to cross the Crossing Area with such railroad tracks as may be required for its convenience or purposes. In the event the Railroad shall place additional tracks upon the Crossing Area, the Political Body shall, at its sole cost and expense, modify the Roadway to conform with all tracks within the Crossing Area. C. The right hereby granted is subject to any existing encumbrances and rights (whether public or private), recorded or unrecorded, and also to any renewals thereof. The Political Body shall not damage, destroy or interfere with the property or rights of nonparties in, upon or relating to the Railroad's property, unless the Political Body at its own expense settles with and obtains releases from such nonparties. D. The Railroad reserves the right to use and to grant to others the right to use the Crossing Area for any purpose not inconsistent with the right hereby granted, including, but not by way of limitation, the right to construct, reconstruct, maintain, operate, repair, alter, renew and replace tracks, facilities and appurtenances on the property; and the right to cross the Crossing Area with all kinds of equipment. E. So far as it lawfully may do so, the Political Body will assume, bear and pay all taxes and assessments of whatsoever nature or kind (whether general, local or special) levied or assessed upon or against the Crossing Area, excepting taxes levied upon and against the property as a component part of the Railroad's operating property. EXHIBIT 2     City Council 15 – 20 4/21/2026 2 F. If any property or rights other than the right hereby granted are necessary for the construction, maintenance and use of the Roadway and its appurtenances, or for the performance of any work in connection with the Project, the Political Body will acquire all such other property and rights at its own expense and without expense to the Railroad. SECTION 2. CONSTRUCTION OF ROADWAY A. The Political Body, at its expense, will apply for and obtain all public authority required by law, ordinance, rule or regulation for the Project, and will furnish the Railroad upon request with satisfactory evidence that such authority has been obtained. B. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided herein, the Political Body, at its expense, will furnish all necessary labor, material and equipment, and shall construct and complete the Roadway and all appurtenances thereof. The appurtenances shall include, without limitation, all necessary and proper highway warning devices (except those installed by the Railroad within its right of way) and all necessary drainage facilities, guard rails or barriers, and right of way fences between the Roadway and the railroad tracks. Upon completion of the Project, the Political Body shall remove from the Railroad's property all temporary structures and false work, and will leave the Crossing Area in a condition satisfactory to the Railroad. C. All construction work of the Political Body upon the Railroad's property (including, but not limited to, construction of the Roadway and all appurtenances and all related and incidental work) shall be performed and completed in a manner satisfactory to the Assistant Vice President Engineering-Design of the Railroad or his authorized representative and in compliance with the Plans, and other guidelines furnished by the Railroad. D. All construction work of the Political Body shall be performed diligently and completed within a reasonable time. No part of the Project shall be suspended, discontinued or unduly delayed without the Railroad's written consent, and subject to such reasonable conditions as the Railroad may specify. It is understood that the Railroad's tracks at and in the vicinity of the work will be in constant or frequent use during progress of the work and that movement or stoppage of trains, engines or cars may cause delays in the work of the Political Body. The Political Body hereby assumes the risk of any such delays and agrees that no claims for damages on account of any delay shall be made against the Railroad by the State and/or the Contractor. SECTION 3. INJURY AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY If the Political Body, in the performance of any work contemplated by this Agreement or by the failure to do or perform anything for which the Political Body is responsible under the provisions of this Agreement, shall injure, damage or destroy any property of the Railroad or of any other person lawfully occupying or using the property of the Railroad, such property shall be replaced or repaired by the Political Body at the EXHIBIT 2     City Council 15 – 21 4/21/2026 3 Political Body's own expense, or by the Railroad at the expense of the Political Body, and to the satisfaction of the Railroad's Assistant Vice President Engineering-Design. SECTION 4. RAILROAD MAY USE CONTRACTORS TO PERFORM WORK The Railroad may contract for the performance of any of its work by other than the Railroad forces. The Railroad shall notify the Political Body of the contract price within ninety (90) days after it is awarded. Unless the Railroad's work is to be performed on a fixed price basis, the Political Body shall reimburse the Railroad for the amount of the contract. SECTION 5. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS A. The Political Body shall, at its own sole expense, maintain, repair, and renew, or cause to be maintained, repaired and renewed, the entire Crossing Area and Roadway, except the portions between the track tie ends, which shall be maintained by the Railroad at the Political Body’s expense. B. If, in the future, the Political Body elects to have the surfacing material between the track tie ends, or between tracks if there is more than one railroad track across the Crossing Area, replaced with paving or some surfacing material other than timber planking, the Railroad, at the Political Body’s expense, shall install such replacement surfacing, and in the future, to the extent repair or replacement of the surfacing is necessitated by repair or rehabilitation of the Railroad’s tracks through the Crossing Area, the Political Body shall bear the expense of such repairs or replacement. SECTION 6. CHANGES IN GRADE If at any time the Railroad shall elect, or be required by competent authority to, raise or lower the grade of all or any portion of the track(s) located within the Crossing Area, the Political Body shall, at its own expense, conform the Roadway to conform with the change of grade of the trackage. SECTION 7. REARRANGEMENT OF WARNING DEVICES If the change or rearrangement of any warning device installed hereunder is necessitated for public or Railroad convenience or on account of improvements for either the Railroad, highway or both, the parties will apportion the expense incidental thereto between themselves by negotiation, agreement or by the order of a competent authority before the change or rearrangement is undertaken. SECTION 8. SAFETY MEASURES; PROTECTION OF RAILROAD COMPANY OPERATIONS It is understood and recognized that safety and continuity of the Railroad's operations and communications are of the utmost importance; and in order that the EXHIBIT 2     City Council 15 – 22 4/21/2026 4 same may be adequately safeguarded, protected and assured, and in order that accidents may be prevented and avoided, it is agreed with respect to all of said work of the Political Body that the work will be performed in a safe manner and in conformity with the following standards: A. Definitions. All references in this Agreement to the Political Body shall also include the Contractor and their respective officers, agents and employees, and others acting under its or their authority; and all references in this Agreement to work of the Political Body shall include work both within and outside of the Railroad’s property. B. Entry on to Railroad's Property by Political Body. If the Political Body's employees need to enter Railroad's property in order to perform an inspection of the Roadway, minor maintenance or other activities, the Political Body shall first provide at least ten (10) working days advance notice to the Railroad Representative. With respect to such entry on to Railroad’s property, the Political Body, to the extent permitted by law, agrees to release, defend and indemnify the Railroad from and against any loss, damage, injury, liability, claim, cost or expense incurred by any person including, without limitation, the Political Body’s employees, or damage to any property or equipment (collectively the “Loss”) that arises from the presence or activities of Political Body’s employees on Railroad’s property, except to the extent that any Loss is caused by the sole direct negligence of Railroad. C. Flagging. (i) If the Political Body's employees need to enter Railroad's property as provided in Paragraph B above, the Political Body agrees to notify the Railroad Representative at least thirty (30) working days in advance of proposed performance of any work by Political Body in which any person or equipment will be within twenty-five (25) feet of any track, or will be near enough to any track that any equipment extension (such as, but not limited to, a crane boom) will reach to within twenty-five (25) feet of any track. No work of any kind shall be performed, and no person, equipment, machinery, tool(s), material(s), vehicle(s), or thing(s) shall be located, operated, placed, or stored within twenty-five (25) feet of any of Railroad's track(s) at any time, for any reason, unless and until a Railroad flagman is provided to watch for trains. Upon receipt of such thirty (30) day notice, the Railroad Representative will determine and inform Political Body whether a flagman need be present and whether Political Body needs to implement any special protective or safety measures. If flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad, Railroad will bill Political Body for such expenses incurred by Railroad. If Railroad performs any flagging, or other special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad, Political Body agrees that Political Body is not relieved of any of its responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this Agreement. (ii) The rate of pay per hour for each flagman will be the prevailing hourly rate in effect for an eight-hour day for the class of flagmen used during regularly assigned hours and overtime in accordance with Labor Agreements and Schedules in effect at the time the work is performed. In addition to the cost of such labor, a composite charge for EXHIBIT 2     City Council 15 – 23 4/21/2026 5 vacation, holiday, health and welfare, supplemental sickness, Railroad Retirement and unemployment compensation, supplemental pension, Employees Liability and Property Damage and Administration will be included, computed on actual payroll. The composite charge will be the prevailing composite charge in effect at the time the work is performed. One and one-half times the current hourly rate is paid for overtime, Saturdays and Sundays, and two and one-half times current hourly rate for holidays. Wage rates are subject to change, at any time, by law or by agreement between Railroad and its employees, and may be retroactive as a result of negotiations or a ruling of an authorized governmental agency. Additional charges on labor are also subject to change. If the wage rate or additional charges are changed, Political Body shall pay on the basis of the new rates and charges. (iii) Reimbursement to Railroad will be required covering the full eight-hour day during which any flagman is furnished, unless the flagman can be assigned to other Railroad work during a portion of such day, in which event reimbursement will not be required for the portion of the day during which the flagman is engaged in other Railroad work. Reimbursement will also be required for any day not actually worked by the flagman following the flagman's assignment to work on the project for which Railroad is required to pay the flagman and which could not reasonably be avoided by Railroad by assignment of such flagman to other work, even though Political Body may not be working during such time. When it becomes necessary for Railroad to bulletin and assign an employee to a flagging position in compliance with union collective bargaining agreements, Political Body must provide Railroad a minimum of five (5) days notice prior to the cessation of the need for a flagman. If five (5) days notice of cessation is not given, Political Body will still be required to pay flagging charges for the five (5) day notice period required by union agreement to be given to the employee, even though flagging is not required for that period. An additional thirty (30) days notice must then be given to Railroad if flagging services are needed again after such five day cessation notice has been given to Railroad. D. Compliance With Laws. The Political Body shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations and enactments affecting the work. The Political Body shall use only such methods as are consistent with safety, both as concerns the Political Body, the Political Body's agents and employees, the officers, agents, employees and property of the Railroad and the public in general. The Political Body (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) shall comply with all applicable state and federal occupational safety and health acts and regulations. All Federal Railroad Administration regulations shall be followed when work is performed on the Railroad's premises. If any failure by the Political Body to comply with any such laws, regulations, and enactments, shall result in any fine, penalty, cost or charge being assessed, imposed or charged against the Railroad, the Political Body shall reimburse, and to the extent it may lawfully do so, indemnify the Railroad for any such fine, penalty, cost, or charge, including without limitation attorney's fees, court costs and expenses. The Political Body further agrees in the event of any such action, upon notice thereof being provided by the Railroad, to defend such action free of cost, charge, or expense to the Railroad. EXHIBIT 2     City Council 15 – 24 4/21/2026 6 E. No Interference or Delays. The Political Body shall not do, suffer or permit anything which will or may obstruct, endanger, interfere with, hinder or delay maintenance or operation of the Railroad's tracks or facilities, or any communication or signal lines, installations or any appurtenances thereof, or the operations of others lawfully occupying or using the Railroad's property or facilities. F. Supervision. The Political Body, at its own expense, shall adequately police and supervise all work to be performed by the Political Body, and shall not inflict injury to persons or damage to property for the safety of whom or of which the Railroad may be responsible, or to property of the Railroad. The responsibility of the Political Body for safe conduct and adequate policing and supervision of the Project shall not be lessened or otherwise affected by the Railroad's approval of plans and specifications, or by the Railroad's collaboration in performance of any work, or by the presence at the work site of the Railroad's representatives, or by compliance by the Political Body with any requests or recommendations made by such representatives. If a representative of the Railroad is assigned to the Project, the Political Body will give due consideration to suggestions and recommendations made by such representative for the safety and protection of the Railroad's property and operations. G. Suspension of Work. If at any time the Political Body's engineers or the Vice President-Engineering Services of the Railroad or their respective representatives shall be of the opinion that any work of the Political Body is being or is about to be done or prosecuted without due regard and precaution for safety and security, the Political Body shall immediately suspend the work until suitable, adequate and proper protective measures are adopted and provided. H. Removal of Debris. The Political Body shall not cause, suffer or permit material or debris to be deposited or cast upon, or to slide or fall upon any property or facilities of the Railroad; and any such material and debris shall be promptly removed from the Railroad's property by the Political Body at the Political Body's own expense or by the Railroad at the expense of the Political Body. The Political Body shall not cause, suffer or permit any snow to be plowed or cast upon the Railroad's property during snow removal from the Crossing Area. I. Explosives. The Political Body shall not discharge any explosives on or in the vicinity of the Railroad's property without the prior consent of the Railroad's Vice President-Engineering Services, which shall not be given if, in the sole discretion of the Railroad's Vice President-Engineering Services, such discharge would be dangerous or would interfere with the Railroad's property or facilities. For the purposes hereof, the "vicinity of the Railroad's property" shall be deemed to be any place on the Railroad's property or in such close proximity to the Railroad's property that the discharge of explosives could cause injury to the Railroad's employees or other persons, or cause damage to or interference with the facilities or operations on the Railroad's property. The Railroad reserves the right to impose such conditions, restrictions or limitations on the transportation, handling, storage, security and use of explosives as the Railroad, in the Railroad's sole discretion, may deem to be necessary, desirable or appropriate. EXHIBIT 2     City Council 15 – 25 4/21/2026 7 J. Excavation. The Political Body shall not excavate from existing slopes nor construct new slopes which are excessive and may create hazards of slides or falling rock, or impair or endanger the clearance between existing or new slopes and the tracks of the Railroad. The Political Body shall not do or cause to be done any work which will or may disturb the stability of any area or adversely affect the Railroad's tracks or facilities. The Political Body, at its own expense, shall install and maintain adequate shoring and cribbing for all excavation and/or trenching performed by the Political Body in connection with construction, maintenance or other work. The shoring and cribbing shall be constructed and maintained with materials and in a manner approved by the Railroad's Assistant Vice President Engineering - Design to withstand all stresses likely to be encountered, including any stresses resulting from vibrations caused by the Railroad's operations in the vicinity. K. Drainage. The Political Body, at the Political Body's own expense, shall provide and maintain suitable facilities for draining the Roadway and its appurtenances, and shall not suffer or permit drainage water therefrom to flow or collect upon property of the Railroad. The Political Body, at the Political Body's own expense, shall provide adequate passageway for the waters of any streams, bodies of water and drainage facilities (either natural or artificial, and including water from the Railroad's culvert and drainage facilities), so that said waters may not, because of any facilities or work of the Political Body, be impeded, obstructed, diverted or caused to back up, overflow or damage the property of the Railroad or any part thereof, or property of others. The Political Body shall not obstruct or interfere with existing ditches or drainage facilities. L. Notice. Before commencing any work, the Political Body shall provide the advance notice to the Railroad that is required under the Contractor's Right of Entry Agreement. M. Fiber Optic Cables. Fiber optic cable systems may be buried on the Railroad's property. Protection of the fiber optic cable systems is of extreme importance since any break could disrupt service to users resulting in business interruption and loss of revenue and profits. Political Body shall visit up.com/CBUD to complete and submit the required form to determine if fiber optic cable is buried anywhere on Railroad's property to be used by the Political Body. If it is, Political Body will telephone the telecommunications company(ies) involved, arrange for a cable locator, and make arrangements for relocation or other protection of the fiber optic cable prior to beginning any work on the Railroad's premises. SECTION 9. INTERIM WARNING DEVICES If at anytime it is determined by a competent authority, by the Political Body, or by agreement between the parties, that new or improved train activated warning devices should be installed at the Crossing Area, the Political Body shall install adequate temporary warning devices or signs and impose appropriate vehicular control measures to protect the motoring public until the new or improved devices have been installed. EXHIBIT 2     City Council 15 – 26 4/21/2026 8 SECTION 10. OTHER RAILROADS All protective and indemnifying provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Railroad and any other railroad company lawfully using the Railroad's property or facilities. SECTION 11. BOOKS AND RECORDS The books, papers, records and accounts of Railroad, so far as they relate to the items of expense for the materials to be provided by Railroad under this Project, or are associated with the work to be performed by Railroad under this Project, shall be open to inspection and audit at Railroad's offices in Omaha, Nebraska, during normal business hours by the agents and authorized representatives of Political Body for a period of three (3) years following the date of Railroad's last billing sent to Political Body. SECTION 12. REMEDIES FOR BREACH OR NONUSE A. If the Political Body shall fail, refuse or neglect to perform and abide by the terms of this Agreement, the Railroad, in addition to any other rights and remedies, may perform any work which in the judgment of the Railroad is necessary to place the Roadway and appurtenances in such condition as will not menace, endanger or interfere with the Railroad's facilities or operations or jeopardize the Railroad's employees; and the Political Body will reimburse the Railroad for the expenses thereof. B. Nonuse by the Political Body of the Crossing Area for public highway purposes continuing at any time for a period of eighteen (18) months shall, at the option of the Railroad, work a termination of this Agreement and of all rights of the Political Body hereunder. C. The Political Body will surrender peaceable possession of the Crossing Area and Roadway upon termination of this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement shall not affect any rights, obligations or liabilities of the parties, accrued or otherwise, which may have arisen prior to termination. SECTION 13. MODIFICATION - ENTIRE AGREEMENT No waiver, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be of any force or effect unless made in writing, signed by the Political Body and the Railroad and specifying with particularity the nature and extent of such waiver, modification or amendment. Any waiver by the Railroad of any default by the Political Body shall not affect or impair any right arising from any subsequent default. This Agreement and Exhibits attached hereto and made a part hereof constitute the entire understanding between the Political Body and the Railroad and cancel and supersede any prior negotiations, understandings or agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to the work or any part thereof.

NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK - RAILROAD FLAGGING - PRIVATE FLAGGING. A. Contractor agrees to notify the Railroad Representative at least ten (10) working days in advance of Contractor commencing its Work and at least thirty (30) working days in advance of proposed performance of any Work by Contractor in which any person or equipment will be within twenty-five (25) feet of any track, or will be near enough to any track that any equipment extension (such as, but not limited to, a crane boom) will reach to within twenty-five (25) feet of any track. B. No work of any kind shall be performed, and no person, equipment, machinery, tool(s), material(s), vehicle(s), or thing(s) shall be located, operated, placed, or stored within twenty-five (25) feet of any of Railroad's track(s) at any time, for any reason, unless and until a Railroad approved flagman is provided to watch for trains. Upon receipt of such thirty (30)-day notice, the Railroad Representative will determine and inform Contractor whether a flagman need be present and whether Contractor needs to implement any special protective or safety measures. C. Contractor shall be permitted to hire a private contractor to perform flagging or other special protective or safety measures (such private contractor being commonly known in the railroad industry as a contractor-in-charge (“CIC”)) in lieu of Railroad providing such services or in concert with Railroad providing such services, subject to prior written approval by Railroad, which approval shall be in Railroad’s sole and absolute discretion. If Railroad agrees to permit Contractor to utilize a CIC pursuant to the preceding sentence, Contractor shall obtain Railroad’s prior approval in writing for each of the following items, as determined in all respects in Railroad’s sole and absolute discretion: (i) the identity of the third-party performing the role of CIC; (ii) the scope of the services to be performed for the project by the approved CIC; and (iii) any other terms and conditions governing such services to be provided by the CIC. If flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by an approved CIC, Contractor shall be solely responsible for (and shall timely pay such CIC for) its services. Railroad reserves the right to rescind any approval pursuant to this Section 1, Subsection C., in whole or in part, at any time, as determined in Railroad’s sole and absolute discretion. D. If any flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by employees of Railroad and/or any contractor of Railroad, Railroad will bill Contractor for such expenses incurred by Railroad, unless Railroad and a federal, state or local governmental entity have agreed that Railroad is to bill such expenses to the federal, state or local governmental entity. If Railroad will be sending the bills to Contractor, Contractor shall pay such bills within thirty (30) days of Contractor's receipt of billing. E. If any flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad or a CIC, Contractor agrees that Contractor is not relieved of any of its responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this agreement. F. The provisions set forth in this subsection are only applicable for Flagging Services performed by employees of Railroad: the rate of pay per hour for each flagman will be the prevailing hourly rate in effect for an eight-hour day for the class of flagmen used during regularly assigned hours and overtime in accordance with labor agreements and schedules in effect at the time the Work is performed. In addition to the cost of such labor, a composite charge for vacation, holiday, health and welfare, supplemental sickness, Railroad Retirement and unemployment compensation, supplemental pension, Employees Liability and Property Damage and Administration will be included, computed on actual payroll. The composite charge will be the prevailing composite charge in effect at the time the Work is performed. One and one-half times the current hourly rate is EXHIBIT 2     City Council 15 – 37 4/21/2026 2 paid for overtime, Saturdays and Sundays, and two and one-half times current hourly rate for holidays. Wage rates are subject to change, at any time, by law or by agreement between Railroad and its employees, and may be retroactive as a result of negotiations or a ruling of an authorized governmental agency. Additional charges on labor are also subject to change. If the wage rate or additional charges are changed, Contractor (or the governmental entity, as applicable) shall pay on the basis of the new rates and charges. If flagging is performed by Railroad, reimbursement to Railroad will be required covering the full eight-hour day during which any flagman is furnished, unless the flagman can be assigned to other Railroad work during a portion of such day, in which event reimbursement will not be required for the portion of the day during which the flagman is engaged in other Railroad work. Reimbursement will also be required for any day not actually worked by the flagman following the flagman's assignment to work on the project for which Railroad is required to pay the flagman and which could not reasonably be avoided by Railroad by assignment of such flagman to other work, even though Contractor may not be working during such time. When it becomes necessary for Railroad to bulletin and assign an employee to a flagging position in compliance with union collective bargaining agreements, Contractor must provide Railroad a minimum of five (5) days notice prior to the cessation of the need for a flagman. If five (5) days notice of cessation is not given, Contractor will still be required to pay flagging charges for the five (5) day notice period required by union agreement to be given to the employee, even though flagging is not required for that period. An additional thirty (30) days notice must then be given to Railroad if flagging services are needed again after such five-day cessation notice has been given to Railroad. Section 2. LIMITATION AND SUBORDINATION OF RIGHTS GRANTED A.

RECITALS: By instrument dated January 6, 1958, the Southern Pacific Company and the Political Body entered into an agreement (the “Original Agreement”) covering the construction, use, maintenance and repair of an at grade public road crossing over McFadden Avenue, DOT Number 761245R at Railroad’s Milepost 518.00 on Railroad’s Santa Ana Industrial Lead at or near Santa Ana, Orange County, California. The Railroad named herein is successor in interest to the Southern Pacific Company. The Political Body now desires to undertake as its project (the “Project”) the reconstruction and widening of the road crossing that was constructed under the Original Agreement to accommodate the installation of medians and replacement of the warning devices. The road crossing, as reconstructed and widened is hereinafter the “Roadway” and the portion of the Railroad's property where the Roadway crosses the Railroad’s property is the “Crossing Area.” The right of way granted by the Southern Pacific Company to the Political Body under the terms of the Original Agreement or a separate document is not sufficient to allow for the reconstruction and widening of the Roadway. Therefore, under this Agreement, the Railroad will be granting additional rights to the Political Body to facilitate the reconstruction and widening of the Roadway. The portion of Railroad’s property that Political Body needs to use in connection with the Roadway (including the right of way area covered under the Original Agreement or in a separate document) is shown on the print marked Exhibit A and the Political Body’s type, size and location prints of the Project EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 48 4/21/2026 2 marked Exhibit A-1, with each exhibit being attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof (the “Crossing Area”). The Railroad and the Political Body are entering into this Agreement to cover the above. AGREEMENT: NOW, THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows: Section 1. EXHIBIT B The general terms and conditions marked Exhibit B, are attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof. Section 2. RAILROAD GRANTS RIGHT For and in consideration of the sum of THIRTY THREE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS ($33,350.00) to be paid by the Political Body to the Railroad upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement and in further consideration of the Political Body’s agreement to perform and comply with the terms of this Agreement, the Railroad hereby grants to the Political Body the right to construct, maintain and repair the Roadway over and across the Crossing Area. Section 3. DEFINITION OF CONTRACTOR For purposes of this Agreement the term “Contractor” shall mean the contractor or contractors hired by the Political Body to perform any Project work on any portion of the Railroad’s property and shall also include the Contractor’s subcontractors and the Contractor’s and subcontractor’s respective employees, officers and agents, and others acting under its or their authority. Section 4. CONTRACTOR'S RIGHT OF ENTRY AGREEMENT - INSURANCE A. Prior to Contractor performing any work within the Crossing Area and any subsequent maintenance and repair work, the Political Body shall require the Contractor to: • execute the Railroad's then current Contractor's Right of Entry Agreement • obtain the then current insurance required in the Contractor’s Right of Entry Agreement; and • provide such insurance policies, certificates, binders and/or endorsements to the Railroad. EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 49 4/21/2026 3 B. The Railroad's current Contractor's Right of Entry Agreement is marked Exhibit D, attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof. The Political Body confirms that it will inform its Contractor that it is required to execute such form of agreement and obtain the required insurance before commencing any work on any Railroad property. Under no circumstances will the Contractor be allowed on the Railroad's property without first executing the Railroad's Contractor's Right of Entry Agreement and obtaining the insurance set forth therein and also providing to the Railroad the insurance policies, binders, certificates and/or endorsements described therein. C. All insurance correspondence, binders, policies, certificates and/or endorsements shall be sent to: Manager - Contracts Union Pacific Railroad Company Real Estate Department 1400 Douglas Street, Mail Stop 1690 Omaha, NE 68179-1690 UP Project No. 0459563 D. If the Political Body's own employees will be performing any of the Project work, the Political Body may self-insure all or a portion of the insurance coverage subject to the Railroad's prior review and approval. Section 5. FEDERAL AID POLICY GUIDE If the Political Body will be receiving any federal funding for the Project, the current rules, regulations and provisions of the Federal Aid Policy Guide as contained in 23 CFR 140, Subpart I and 23 CFR 646, Subparts A and B are incorporated into this Agreement by reference. Section 6. NO PROJECT EXPENSES TO BE BORNE BY RAILROAD The Political Body agrees that no Project costs and expenses are to be borne by the Railroad. In addition, the Railroad is not required to contribute any funding for the Project. Section 7. WORK TO BE PERFORMED BY RAILROAD; BILLING SENT TO POLITICAL BODY; POLITICAL BODY'S PAYMENT OF BILLS A. The work to be performed by the Railroad, at the Political Body's sole cost and expense, is described in the Railroad's Material and Force Account Estimates dated September 4, 2025, and September 22, 2025, marked Exhibit C, attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof (the "Estimates"). As set forth in the Estimates, the Railroad's estimated cost for the Railroad's work associated with the Project is Seven Hundred Seventy-Six Thousand Eight Hundred Fifty-Eight Dollars ($776,858.00). EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 50 4/21/2026 4 B.

C. The Political Body acknowledges that the Estimates may not include any estimate of flagging or other protective service costs that are to be paid by the Political Body or the Contractor in connection with flagging or other protective services provided by the Railroad in connection with the Project. All of such costs incurred by the Railroad are to be paid by the Political Body or the Contractor as determined by the Railroad and the Political Body. If it is determined that the Railroad will be billing the Contractor directly for such costs, the Political Body agrees that it will pay the Railroad for any flagging costs that have not been paid by any Contractor within thirty (30) days of the Contractor's receipt of billing. D. The Railroad shall send progressive billing to the Political Body during the Project and final billing to the Political Body within three hundred sixty-five (365) days after receiving written notice from the Political Body that all Project work affecting the Railroad's property has been completed and the Project Manager has closed the Project work order and notified the Political Body. E. The Political Body agrees to reimburse the Railroad within thirty (30) days of its receipt of billing from the Railroad for one hundred percent (100%) of all actual costs incurred by the Railroad in connection with the Project including, but not limited to, all actual costs of engineering review (including preliminary engineering review costs incurred by Railroad prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement), construction, inspection, flagging (unless flagging costs are to be billed directly to the Contractor), procurement of materials, equipment rental, manpower and deliveries to the job site and all direct and indirect overhead labor/construction costs including Railroad's standard additive rates.

The Political Body, at its expense, shall prepare, or cause to be prepared by others, the detailed plans and specifications for the Project and the Structure and submit such plans and specifications to the Railroad’s Assistant Vice President Engineering-Design, or his authorized representative, for prior review and approval. The plans and specifications shall include all Roadway layout specifications, cross sections and elevations, associated drainage, and other appurtenances. B. The final one hundred percent (100%) completed plans that are approved in writing by the Railroad’s Assistant Vice President Engineering-Design, or his authorized representative, are hereinafter referred to as the “Plans”. The Plans are hereby made a part of this Agreement by reference. EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 51 4/21/2026 5 C. No changes in the Plans shall be made unless the Railroad has consented to such changes in writing. D. The Railroad's review and approval of the Plans will in no way relieve the Political Body or the Contractor from their responsibilities, obligations and/or liabilities under this Agreement, and will be given with the understanding that the Railroad makes no representations or warranty as to the validity, accuracy, legal compliance or completeness of the Plans and that any reliance by the Political Body or Contractor on the Plans is at the risk of the Political Body and Contractor. Section 9. NON-RAILROAD IMPROVEMENTS A. Submittal of plans and specifications for protecting, encasing, reinforcing, relocation, replacing, removing and abandoning in place all non-railroad owned facilities (the "Non Railroad Facilities") affected by the Project including, without limitation, utilities, fiber optics, pipelines, wirelines, communication lines and fences is required under Section 8. The Non Railroad Facilities plans and specifications shall comply with Railroad's standard specifications and requirements, including, without limitation, American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association ("AREMA") standards and guidelines. Railroad has no obligation to supply additional land for any Non Railroad Facilities and does not waive its right to assert preemption defenses, challenge the right-to-take, or pursue compensation in any condemnation action, regardless if the submitted Non Railroad Facilities plans and specifications comply with Railroad's standard specifications and requirements. Railroad has no obligation to permit any Non Railroad Facilities to be abandoned in place or relocated on Railroad's property. B. Upon Railroad's approval of submitted Non Railroad Facilities plans and specifications, Railroad will attempt to incorporate them into new agreements or supplements of existing agreements with Non Railroad Facilities owners or operators. Railroad may use its standard terms and conditions, including, without limitation, its standard license fee and administrative charges when requiring supplements or new agreements for Non Railroad Facilities. Non Railroad Facilities work shall not commence before a supplement or new agreement has been fully executed by Railroad and the Non Railroad Facilities owner or operator, or before Railroad and Political Body mutually agree in writing to (i) deem the approved Non Railroad Facilities plans and specifications to be Plans pursuant to Section 8B, (ii) deem the Non Railroad Facilities part of the Structure, and (iii) supplement this Agreement with terms and conditions covering the Non Railroad Facilities. Section 10. EFFECTIVE DATE; TERM; TERMINATION A. This Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date first herein written and shall continue in full force and effect for as long as the Roadway remains on the Railroad’s property. EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 52 4/21/2026 6 B.

EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 53 4/21/2026 7 Section 14. SPECIAL PROVISIONS PERTAINING TO AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009 If the Political Body will be receiving American Recovery and Reinvestment Act ("ARRA") funding for the Project, the Political Body agrees that it is responsible in performing and completing all ARRA reporting documents for the Project. The Political Body confirms and acknowledges that Section 1512 of the ARRA provisions applies only to a "recipient" receiving ARRA funding directing from the federal government and, therefore, (i) the ARRA reporting requirements are the responsibility of the Political Body and not of the Railroad, and (ii) the Political Body shall not delegate any ARRA reporting responsibilities to the Railroad. The Political Body also confirms and acknowledges that (i) the Railroad shall provide to the Political Body the Railroad's standard and customary billing for expenses incurred by the Railroad for the Project including the Railroad's standard and customary documentation to support such billing, and (ii) such standard and customary billing and documentation from the Railroad provides the information needed by the Political Body to perform and complete the ARRA reporting documents. The Railroad confirms that the Political Body and the Federal Highway Administration shall have the right to audit the Railroad's billing and documentation for the Project as provided in Section 11 of Exhibit B of this Agreement.

CONDITIONS AND COVENANTS A. The Railroad makes no covenant or warranty of title for quiet possession or against encumbrances. The Political Body shall not use or permit use of the Crossing Area for any purposes other than those described in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Political Body shall not use or permit use of the Crossing Area for railroad purposes, or for gas, oil or gasoline pipe lines. Any lines constructed on the Railroad's property by or under authority of the Political Body for the purpose of conveying electric power or communications incidental to the Political Body's use of the property for highway purposes shall be constructed in accordance with specifications and requirements of the Railroad, and in such manner as not adversely to affect communication or signal lines of the Railroad or its licensees now or hereafter located upon said property. No nonparty shall be admitted by the Political Body to use or occupy any part of the Railroad's property without the Railroad's written consent. Nothing herein shall obligate the Railroad to give such consent. B. The Railroad reserves the right to cross the Crossing Area with such railroad tracks as may be required for its convenience or purposes. In the event the Railroad shall place additional tracks upon the Crossing Area, the Political Body shall, at its sole cost and expense, modify the Roadway to conform with all tracks within the Crossing Area. C. The right hereby granted is subject to any existing encumbrances and rights (whether public or private), recorded or unrecorded, and also to any renewals thereof. The Political Body shall not damage, destroy or interfere with the property or rights of nonparties in, upon or relating to the Railroad's property, unless the Political Body at its own expense settles with and obtains releases from such nonparties. D. The Railroad reserves the right to use and to grant to others the right to use the Crossing Area for any purpose not inconsistent with the right hereby granted, including, but not by way of limitation, the right to construct, reconstruct, maintain, operate, repair, alter, renew and replace tracks, facilities and appurtenances on the property; and the right to cross the Crossing Area with all kinds of equipment. E. So far as it lawfully may do so, the Political Body will assume, bear and pay all taxes and assessments of whatsoever nature or kind (whether general, local or special) levied or assessed upon or against the Crossing Area, excepting taxes levied upon and against the property as a component part of the Railroad's operating property. EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 62 4/21/2026 2 F. If any property or rights other than the right hereby granted are necessary for the construction, maintenance and use of the Roadway and its appurtenances, or for the performance of any work in connection with the Project, the Political Body will acquire all such other property and rights at its own expense and without expense to the Railroad. SECTION 2. CONSTRUCTION OF ROADWAY A. The Political Body, at its expense, will apply for and obtain all public authority required by law, ordinance, rule or regulation for the Project, and will furnish the Railroad upon request with satisfactory evidence that such authority has been obtained. B. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided herein, the Political Body, at its expense, will furnish all necessary labor, material and equipment, and shall construct and complete the Roadway and all appurtenances thereof. The appurtenances shall include, without limitation, all necessary and proper highway warning devices (except those installed by the Railroad within its right of way) and all necessary drainage facilities, guard rails or barriers, and right of way fences between the Roadway and the railroad tracks. Upon completion of the Project, the Political Body shall remove from the Railroad's property all temporary structures and false work, and will leave the Crossing Area in a condition satisfactory to the Railroad. C. All construction work of the Political Body upon the Railroad's property (including, but not limited to, construction of the Roadway and all appurtenances and all related and incidental work) shall be performed and completed in a manner satisfactory to the Assistant Vice President Engineering-Design of the Railroad or his authorized representative and in compliance with the Plans, and other guidelines furnished by the Railroad. D. All construction work of the Political Body shall be performed diligently and completed within a reasonable time. No part of the Project shall be suspended, discontinued or unduly delayed without the Railroad's written consent, and subject to such reasonable conditions as the Railroad may specify. It is understood that the Railroad's tracks at and in the vicinity of the work will be in constant or frequent use during progress of the work and that movement or stoppage of trains, engines or cars may cause delays in the work of the Political Body. The Political Body hereby assumes the risk of any such delays and agrees that no claims for damages on account of any delay shall be made against the Railroad by the State and/or the Contractor. SECTION 3. INJURY AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY If the Political Body, in the performance of any work contemplated by this Agreement or by the failure to do or perform anything for which the Political Body is responsible under the provisions of this Agreement, shall injure, damage or destroy any property of the Railroad or of any other person lawfully occupying or using the property of the Railroad, such property shall be replaced or repaired by the Political Body at the EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 63 4/21/2026 3 Political Body's own expense, or by the Railroad at the expense of the Political Body, and to the satisfaction of the Railroad's Assistant Vice President Engineering-Design. SECTION 4. RAILROAD MAY USE CONTRACTORS TO PERFORM WORK The Railroad may contract for the performance of any of its work by other than the Railroad forces. The Railroad shall notify the Political Body of the contract price within ninety (90) days after it is awarded. Unless the Railroad's work is to be performed on a fixed price basis, the Political Body shall reimburse the Railroad for the amount of the contract. SECTION 5. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS A. The Political Body shall, at its own sole expense, maintain, repair, and renew, or cause to be maintained, repaired and renewed, the entire Crossing Area and Roadway, except the portions between the track tie ends, which shall be maintained by the Railroad at the Political Body’s expense. B. If, in the future, the Political Body elects to have the surfacing material between the track tie ends, or between tracks if there is more than one railroad track across the Crossing Area, replaced with paving or some surfacing material other than timber planking, the Railroad, at the Political Body’s expense, shall install such replacement surfacing, and in the future, to the extent repair or replacement of the surfacing is necessitated by repair or rehabilitation of the Railroad’s tracks through the Crossing Area, the Political Body shall bear the expense of such repairs or replacement. SECTION 6. CHANGES IN GRADE If at any time the Railroad shall elect, or be required by competent authority to, raise or lower the grade of all or any portion of the track(s) located within the Crossing Area, the Political Body shall, at its own expense, conform the Roadway to conform with the change of grade of the trackage. SECTION 7. REARRANGEMENT OF WARNING DEVICES If the change or rearrangement of any warning device installed hereunder is necessitated for public or Railroad convenience or on account of improvements for either the Railroad, highway or both, the parties will apportion the expense incidental thereto between themselves by negotiation, agreement or by the order of a competent authority before the change or rearrangement is undertaken. SECTION 8. SAFETY MEASURES; PROTECTION OF RAILROAD COMPANY OPERATIONS It is understood and recognized that safety and continuity of the Railroad's operations and communications are of the utmost importance; and in order that the EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 64 4/21/2026 4 same may be adequately safeguarded, protected and assured, and in order that accidents may be prevented and avoided, it is agreed with respect to all of said work of the Political Body that the work will be performed in a safe manner and in conformity with the following standards: A. Definitions. All references in this Agreement to the Political Body shall also include the Contractor and their respective officers, agents and employees, and others acting under its or their authority; and all references in this Agreement to work of the Political Body shall include work both within and outside of the Railroad’s property. B. Entry on to Railroad's Property by Political Body. If the Political Body's employees need to enter Railroad's property in order to perform an inspection of the Roadway, minor maintenance or other activities, the Political Body shall first provide at least ten (10) working days advance notice to the Railroad Representative. With respect to such entry on to Railroad’s property, the Political Body, to the extent permitted by law, agrees to release, defend and indemnify the Railroad from and against any loss, damage, injury, liability, claim, cost or expense incurred by any person including, without limitation, the Political Body’s employees, or damage to any property or equipment (collectively the “Loss”) that arises from the presence or activities of Political Body’s employees on Railroad’s property, except to the extent that any Loss is caused by the sole direct negligence of Railroad. C. Flagging. (i) If the Political Body's employees need to enter Railroad's property as provided in Paragraph B above, the Political Body agrees to notify the Railroad Representative at least thirty (30) working days in advance of proposed performance of any work by Political Body in which any person or equipment will be within twenty-five (25) feet of any track, or will be near enough to any track that any equipment extension (such as, but not limited to, a crane boom) will reach to within twenty-five (25) feet of any track. No work of any kind shall be performed, and no person, equipment, machinery, tool(s), material(s), vehicle(s), or thing(s) shall be located, operated, placed, or stored within twenty-five (25) feet of any of Railroad's track(s) at any time, for any reason, unless and until a Railroad flagman is provided to watch for trains. Upon receipt of such thirty (30) day notice, the Railroad Representative will determine and inform Political Body whether a flagman need be present and whether Political Body needs to implement any special protective or safety measures. If flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad, Railroad will bill Political Body for such expenses incurred by Railroad. If Railroad performs any flagging, or other special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad, Political Body agrees that Political Body is not relieved of any of its responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this Agreement. (ii) The rate of pay per hour for each flagman will be the prevailing hourly rate in effect for an eight-hour day for the class of flagmen used during regularly assigned hours and overtime in accordance with Labor Agreements and Schedules in effect at the time the work is performed. In addition to the cost of such labor, a composite charge for EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 65 4/21/2026 5 vacation, holiday, health and welfare, supplemental sickness, Railroad Retirement and unemployment compensation, supplemental pension, Employees Liability and Property Damage and Administration will be included, computed on actual payroll. The composite charge will be the prevailing composite charge in effect at the time the work is performed. One and one-half times the current hourly rate is paid for overtime, Saturdays and Sundays, and two and one-half times current hourly rate for holidays. Wage rates are subject to change, at any time, by law or by agreement between Railroad and its employees, and may be retroactive as a result of negotiations or a ruling of an authorized governmental agency. Additional charges on labor are also subject to change. If the wage rate or additional charges are changed, Political Body shall pay on the basis of the new rates and charges. (iii) Reimbursement to Railroad will be required covering the full eight-hour day during which any flagman is furnished, unless the flagman can be assigned to other Railroad work during a portion of such day, in which event reimbursement will not be required for the portion of the day during which the flagman is engaged in other Railroad work. Reimbursement will also be required for any day not actually worked by the flagman following the flagman's assignment to work on the project for which Railroad is required to pay the flagman and which could not reasonably be avoided by Railroad by assignment of such flagman to other work, even though Political Body may not be working during such time. When it becomes necessary for Railroad to bulletin and assign an employee to a flagging position in compliance with union collective bargaining agreements, Political Body must provide Railroad a minimum of five (5) days notice prior to the cessation of the need for a flagman. If five (5) days notice of cessation is not given, Political Body will still be required to pay flagging charges for the five (5) day notice period required by union agreement to be given to the employee, even though flagging is not required for that period. An additional thirty (30) days notice must then be given to Railroad if flagging services are needed again after such five day cessation notice has been given to Railroad. D. Compliance With Laws. The Political Body shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations and enactments affecting the work. The Political Body shall use only such methods as are consistent with safety, both as concerns the Political Body, the Political Body's agents and employees, the officers, agents, employees and property of the Railroad and the public in general.

EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 78 4/21/2026 1 EXHIBIT B TO CONTRACTOR'S RIGHT OF ENTRY AGREEMENT Section 1. NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK - RAILROAD FLAGGING - PRIVATE FLAGGING. A. Contractor agrees to notify the Railroad Representative at least ten (10) working days in advance of Contractor commencing its Work and at least thirty (30) working days in advance of proposed performance of any Work by Contractor in which any person or equipment will be within twenty-five (25) feet of any track, or will be near enough to any track that any equipment extension (such as, but not limited to, a crane boom) will reach to within twenty-five (25) feet of any track. B. No work of any kind shall be performed, and no person, equipment, machinery, tool(s), material(s), vehicle(s), or thing(s) shall be located, operated, placed, or stored within twenty-five (25) feet of any of Railroad's track(s) at any time, for any reason, unless and until a Railroad approved flagman is provided to watch for trains. Upon receipt of such thirty (30)-day notice, the Railroad Representative will determine and inform Contractor whether a flagman need be present and whether Contractor needs to implement any special protective or safety measures. C. Contractor shall be permitted to hire a private contractor to perform flagging or other special protective or safety measures (such private contractor being commonly known in the railroad industry as a contractor-in-charge (“CIC”)) in lieu of Railroad providing such services or in concert with Railroad providing such services, subject to prior written approval by Railroad, which approval shall be in Railroad’s sole and absolute discretion. If Railroad agrees to permit Contractor to utilize a CIC pursuant to the preceding sentence, Contractor shall obtain Railroad’s prior approval in writing for each of the following items, as determined in all respects in Railroad’s sole and absolute discretion: (i) the identity of the third-party performing the role of CIC; (ii) the scope of the services to be performed for the project by the approved CIC; and (iii) any other terms and conditions governing such services to be provided by the CIC. If flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by an approved CIC, Contractor shall be solely responsible for (and shall timely pay such CIC for) its services. Railroad reserves the right to rescind any approval pursuant to this Section 1, Subsection C., in whole or in part, at any time, as determined in Railroad’s sole and absolute discretion. D. If any flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by employees of Railroad and/or any contractor of Railroad, Railroad will bill Contractor for such expenses incurred by Railroad, unless Railroad and a federal, state or local governmental entity have agreed that Railroad is to bill such expenses to the federal, state or local governmental entity. If Railroad will be sending the bills to Contractor, Contractor shall pay such bills within thirty (30) days of Contractor's receipt of billing. E. If any flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad or a CIC, Contractor agrees that Contractor is not relieved of any of its responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this agreement. F. The provisions set forth in this subsection are only applicable for Flagging Services performed by employees of Railroad: the rate of pay per hour for each flagman will be the prevailing hourly rate in effect for an eight-hour day for the class of flagmen used during regularly assigned hours and overtime in accordance with labor agreements and schedules in effect at the time the Work is performed. In addition to the cost of such labor, a composite charge for vacation, holiday, health and welfare, supplemental sickness, Railroad Retirement and unemployment compensation, supplemental pension, Employees Liability and Property Damage and Administration will be included, computed on actual payroll. The composite charge will be the prevailing composite charge in effect at the time the Work is performed. One and one-half times the current hourly rate is EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 79 4/21/2026 2 paid for overtime, Saturdays and Sundays, and two and one-half times current hourly rate for holidays. Wage rates are subject to change, at any time, by law or by agreement between Railroad and its employees, and may be retroactive as a result of negotiations or a ruling of an authorized governmental agency. Additional charges on labor are also subject to change. If the wage rate or additional charges are changed, Contractor (or the governmental entity, as applicable) shall pay on the basis of the new rates and charges. If flagging is performed by Railroad, reimbursement to Railroad will be required covering the full eight-hour day during which any flagman is furnished, unless the flagman can be assigned to other Railroad work during a portion of such day, in which event reimbursement will not be required for the portion of the day during which the flagman is engaged in other Railroad work. Reimbursement will also be required for any day not actually worked by the flagman following the flagman's assignment to work on the project for which Railroad is required to pay the flagman and which could not reasonably be avoided by Railroad by assignment of such flagman to other work, even though Contractor may not be working during such time. When it becomes necessary for Railroad to bulletin and assign an employee to a flagging position in compliance with union collective bargaining agreements, Contractor must provide Railroad a minimum of five (5) days notice prior to the cessation of the need for a flagman. If five (5) days notice of cessation is not given, Contractor will still be required to pay flagging charges for the five (5) day notice period required by union agreement to be given to the employee, even though flagging is not required for that period. An additional thirty (30) days notice must then be given to Railroad if flagging services are needed again after such five-day cessation notice has been given to Railroad. Section 2. LIMITATION AND SUBORDINATION OF RIGHTS GRANTED A. The foregoing grant of right is subject and subordinate to the prior and continuing right and obligation of the Railroad to use and maintain its entire property including the right and power of Railroad to construct, maintain, repair, renew, use, operate, change, modify or relocate railroad tracks, roadways, signal, communication, fiber optics, or other wirelines, pipelines and other facilities upon, along or across any or all parts of its property, all or any of which may be freely done at any time or times by Railroad without liability to Contractor or to any other party for compensation or damages. B. The foregoing grant is also subject to all outstanding superior rights (whether recorded or unrecorded and including those in favor of licensees and lessees of Railroad's property, and others) and the right of Railroad to renew and extend the same, and is made without covenant of title or for quiet enjoyment. Section 3. NO INTERFERENCE WITH OPERATIONS OF RAILROAD AND ITS TENANTS. A.

Approve the Warner Avenue Improvements and Widening Project from Main Street to Grand Avenue DISCUSSION This action will complete the environmental phase of the Warner Avenue Improvements and Widening Project from Main Street to Grand Avenue (Exhibit 1). The approval of the Final Environmental Impact Report ( FEIR) (Exhibit 2) will allow the City to pursue funding to complete right -of -way work in preparation for the construction phase of the project, Pending approval of the FEIR, staff will seek Measure M2 Competitive funding in the upcoming call for projects that is tentatively scheduled for October 2015, Warner Avenue is a regionally significant arterial roadway providing east -west travel through the City, The existing conditions between Main Street and Grand Avenue have several unsafe features, including uncontrolled left turns, insufficient access to standards pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and no bike lanes, There Is also substantial congestion during peak perlods, and the level of service will worsen as traffic volumes increase as a result of the Tustin Legacy project and other factors, The City is proposing to Improve Warner Avenue from Maln Street to Grand Avenue by adding sidewalks, bike lanes, undergrounding utilities; and widening the roadway from existing four lanes to six lanes. In addition to the on- street dedicated bike lanes ( Class 11) and ADA- oompliant sidewalks, the proposal also includes a raised landscape median and a landscaped parkway buffer, both with drought tolerant plants, 75B -1 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 87 4/21/2026 Resolution to adopt Final EIR for Warner Avenue Improvements Main Street to Grand Avenue September 1, 2015 Page 2 The project is consistent with the designation of Warner Avenue as a major arterial in the City's adopted General Plan Circulation Element and in Orange County's Master Plan of Arterial Highways. It is also supported by the updated draft Circulation Element, which will serve as the basis for the new General Plan Circulation Element to be adopted early 2015. The environmental and engineering effort for the Warner improvements originated as a mitigation measure for the Tustin Legacy project, which involves theredevelopment of the former Tustin Marine Corps Air Station as a mixed -use commercial, residential, and industrial project, As a mitigation measure, the City of Tustin agreed to partially fund the Improvements on Warner Avenue between Main Street and Grand Avenue, Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #6 Community Facilities & infrastructure, Objective #1 (establish and maintain a Community Investment Plan for all City assets), Strategy S maintain existing streets and associated assets in a state of good repair) and Strategy G (develop and implement the City's Capital Improvement Program in coordination with the Community Investment and Deferred Maintenance Plan), gNYl00NMENTA6 IMPA The FEIR addresses the environmental effects associated with the implementation of the proposed Warner Avenue Improvements and Widening Project from Main Street to Grand Avenue, The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that local government agencies, prior to taking action on projects over which they have discretionary approval authority, consider the environmental consequences to support informed decision making. The CEQA Guidelines (Section 1 5'126Iaj) state that an EIR must address "a range of reasonable alternatives to the project, or to the location of the project, which could feasibly attain the basic objectives of the project, but would avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the project and evaluate the comparative merits of the alternatives," The alternatives considered for this project were based, in part, on their potential ability to reduce or eliminate the impacts determined to be significant and unavoidable, even after implementation of all feasible mitigation measures, Project Alternatives Considered: No Project 100' Widening Alternative 120' North Widening Alternative 120' Center Widening Alternative 120' South Widening Alternative Revised Construction Alternative 110' North Widening Alternative proposed projeoo 110' Center Widening Alternative 110' South Widening Alternative Eleven environmental topics were identified as potentially significant and are fully analyzed in this FEIR, Air Quality • Land Use and Planning Cultural Resources • Noise Geology and Solis • Population and Housing Greenhouse Gas Emissions • Transportation and Traffic Hazards and Hazardous Materials • Utilities and Service Systems Hydrology and Water Quality 75B -2 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 88 4/21/2026 Resolution to adopt Final EIR for Warner Avenue Improvements Main Street to Grand Avenue September 1, 2015 Rage 3 Two significant unavoidable environmental Impacts were Identified: 1.

In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Public Resources Code § 21000 et seq.) and Title XIV, California Code of Regulations, Section 15000 et. seq. (CEQA Guidelines), the City of Santa Ana has prepared an Environmental Impact Report ( EIR) to analyze the environmental impacts associated with the implementation of the proposed Warner Avenue Improvement and Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue. B. CEQA also requires that when a Draft EIR is submitted to the State Clearinghouse for review by state agencies, the public be given an opportunity to review and comment on the Draft EIR for a period of not less than 45 days. In accordance with this requirement the Draft EIR began its 45 -day public review and comment period on January 12, 2015, with the review period ending on February 26, 2015. C. In response to written comments received, the City provided formal Response to Comments and EIR clarification or revision. In addition to fulfilling CEQA's requirement for public review, the City conducted two public meetings on February 3 and 7, 2015 in order to allow the public to provide oral testimony on the Draft EIR. D. The City received a total of 15 written comments and 28 verbal comments and evaluated all comments received from the persons or agencies that reviewed the Draft EIR. The City provided written responses to all agencies and members of the public commenting on the Draft EIR at least ten days prior to certification of the EIR. E. The Draft EIR, comments and recommendations received on the Draft EIR, Responses to Comments, and revisions made to the Draft EIR in response to those comments constitute the Final EIR. F. An extensive public outreach campaign was conducted throughout the project to provide opportunities for all stakeholders to play a meaningful role in the development of the plan.

J. While the Draft EIR determined that most potential impacts could be mitigated to a less than significant level, it did find that implementation of the Warner Avenue Improvement and Widening Project from Main Street to Grand Avenue would result in significant and unavoidable impacts related to Noise during construction as well as Traffic Impacts during construction. K. The City has prepared a Statement of Overriding Considerations in compliance with Public Resources Code Sections 21081 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15093, which finds that specific economic, legal, social, technological or other benefits of the Warner Avenue Improvement and Widening Project from Main Street to Grand Avenue outweigh the significant and unavoidable impacts identified in the EIR.

This document provides the findings required by CEQA and the specific reasons for considering the project acceptable even though the project has significant impacts that are infeasible to mitigate. The lead agency is responsible for the adequacy and objectivity of the EIR. The City of Santa Ana, as lead agency, has subjected the Draft EIR and Final EIR to its own review and analysis. The City of Santa Ana City Council certifies that the Draft EIR, Final EIR, and Findings of Fact reflect the independent judgment of the City. A. FINDINGS OF FACT The City of Santa Ana, as lead agency, is required under CEQA to make written findings concerning each alternative and each significant environmental impact identified in the Draft EIR and Final EIR. CEQA Guidelines Section 15091 provides: a) No public agency shall approve or carry out a project for which an FIR has been certified which identifies one or more significant environmental effects of the project unless the public agency makes one or more written findings for each of those significant effects, accompanied by a brief explanation of the rationale for each finding. The possible findings are: 1. Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the Final EIR. 2. Such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency. 3. Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the Final EIR. CEQA Findings of Fact - 1 - Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -13 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 99 4/21/2026 b) The findings required by subsection (a) shall be supported by substantial evidence in the record. c) The finding in subdivision (a)(2) shall not be made if the agency malting the finding has concurrent jurisdiction with another agency to deal with identified feasible mitigation measures or alternatives. The finding in subsection (a)(3) shall describe the specific reasons for rejecting identified mitigation measures and project alternatives. d) When making the findings required in subdivision (a)(1), the agency shall also adopt a program for reporting on or monitoring the changes which it has either required in the project or made a condition of approval to avoid or substantially lessen significant environmental effects. These measures must be fully enforceable through permit conditions, agreements, or other measures. e) The public agency shall specify the location and custodian of the documents or other material which constitute the record of the proceedings upon which its decision is based. f) A statement made pursuant to Section 15093 does not substitute for the findings required by this section. The "changes or alterations" referred to in Section 15091(a)(1) may include a wide variety of measures or actions, as set forth in Guidelines Section 15370, including: a) Avoiding the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action. b) Minimizing impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation. c) Rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the impacted environment. d) Reducing or eliminating the impact over time by preservation and maintenance operations during the life of the action. e) Compensating for the impact by replacing or providing substitute resources or environments. B. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS The Final EIR includes the Draft EIR dated January 12, 2015, written comments on the Draft EIR that were received during the public review period, and written responses to those comments and changes to the Draft FIR, and revisions to the Draft FIR based on agency comments (hereinafter referred to collectively as the Final EIR). In conformance with CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines, the City conducted an extensive environmental review of the proposed project. The environmental review process has included: CEQA Findings of Fact -2- Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -14 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 100 4/21/2026 Completion of an Initial Study (IS) and Notice of Preparation (NOP), which concluded that an EIR would be prepared. The NOP was released for a 30 -day public review period from October 1, 2012, to October 30, 2012. The NOP was posted at the Orange County Clerk- Recorder's office on October 1, 2012. Copies of the IS were made available for public review at Santa Ana City Hall, Santa Ana Public Works Agency office, and Santa Ana Main Library. During the scoping process, the public was invited by the City to participate in a scoping meeting held on October 18, 2012, at the Manuel Esqueda Elementary School Multipurpose Room. The notice of a public scoping meeting was included in the NOP. The Draft EIR was made available for a 45 -day public review period from January 12, 2015, to February 26, 2015. The Draft EIR analyzed impacts to air quality, cultural resources, geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use, noise, population and housing, transportation and traffic, and utilities and service systems. The Draft EIR analysis identified that the proposed project would result in significant environmental impacts related to noise and traffic during construction. All other CEQA - related environmental impacts were found to be less than significant with mitigation measures incorporated. The Notice of Availability for the Draft EIR (NOA) and the Draft EIR were sent to agencies, organizations and interested persons, and to the Governor's Office of Planning and Research, State Clearinghouse for distribution to state agencies. The NOA was posted at the Orange County Clerk- Recorder's office on January 8, 2015 and. Copies of the NOA and Draft EIR were made available for public review at the Santa Ana City Clerk's Office, Santa Ana Publics Works Agency, Santa Ana Main Library, and the Delhi Center. NOA was mailed to over 1,400 addresses; hand delivered to all properties adjacent to Warner Avenue between Main Street and Grand Avenue, including individual units in two apartment complexes within 500 feet of the project; published in Orange County Register and the Excelsior newspapers. The City held over 35 meetings relating to the Warner Avenue hprovements and Widening Project. The meetings covered and gathered feedback on various topics including project benefits, the EIR, and the property acquisition /relocation process.. The City has exceeded its obligation for public outreach for this project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). All public meetings have had a Spanish interpreter; and certain documents, such as the right -of -way process and meeting notices, have been translated to Spanish. Additionally, Spanish & Vietnamese translation was offered at each individual meeting. The Final EIR included the Draft EIR written comments, verbal comments from two Draft EIR public meetings, responses to all comments, and revisions to the Draft EIR. The Final EIR was released for a 10 -day agency review period prior to certification of the Final EIR. Public hearing will be held for the proposed project: City Council on September 1, 2015. C.

As proposed (based on assessor parcel numbers, APNs), 30 full parcels and 8 partial parcels would require acquisition along the north side of Warner Avenue from Main Street to Standard Avenue. On the south side of Warner Avenue, 5 full parcels and 19 partial parcels would require acquisition between Main Street and Brookhollow Drive. The City would comply with the Federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended, and the State of California Relocation Guidelines under Title 25, Division 1, Chapter 6, of the California Code of Regulations. A specific relocation plan would be prepared, and all displaced persons would be contacted by a relocation agent, who is responsible for ensuring that displaced persons receive full relocation benefits, including advisory assistance, and that all activities are conducted in accordance with federal and state regulations. F. PROJECT OBJECTIVES Design and construct Warner Avenue to be consistent with the City's General Plan Circulation Element and County of Orange Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH) designation as a major arterial. Alleviate traffic congestion and delays within the Warner Avenue project limits. Provide roadway capacity to accommodate existing and future traffic volumes. Increase vehicular safety and reduce accidents by removing left turn hazards. Comply with the Complete Streets Act by providing safe and accessible travel for bicyclist, pedestrians, and wheelchairs through new bike lanes and wider parkway and sidewalks. Minimize property acquisition including public facilities. Improve stormwater drainage and water quality. G. SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Based on the Initial Study and Draft FIR, the following is a summary of the environmental topics considered to have no impact, a less than significant impact, a less than significant impact with incorporation of mitigation measures, and a significant and unavoidable impact. No Impact Agriculture and Forestry Resources Mineral Resources Less Than Significant Impact Aesthetics Biological Resources Geology and Soils Greenhouse Gas Emissions CEQA Findings of Fact -5- Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -17 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 103 4/21/2026 Hazards and Hazardous Materials Hydrology and Water Quality Land Use and Planning Population and Housing Public Services Recreation Utilities and Service Systems Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated Air Quality (Construction) Cultural Resources (Archaeological) Significant and Unavoidable Impact Noise (Construction) Transportation and Traffic (Construction) II. FINDINGS ON POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS A. IMPACTS MITIGATED TO LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT The following summary describes impacts of the proposed project that, without mitigation, would result in significant adverse impacts. Upon implementation of the mitigation measures provided in the Draft EIR, these impacts would be considered less than significant. Air Quality Impact 5.1 -4 Construction activities associated with the proposed project could expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations of coarse particulate matter (PM10). Facts in Support of Finding: Support for this environmental impact conclusion is fully discussed starting on page 5.1 -16 of Section 5. 1, Air Quality, of the Draft EIR. The maximum daily emissions of PM10 generated during demolition and debris - hauling activities would exceed the PMto LST. Consequently, impacts to localized air quality from project - related construction activities would be potentially significant. Mitigation Measure AQ -1 Prior to construction contract award, the City of Santa Ana shall specify in the constriction special provisions that the construction contractor shall include limitations on the amount of roadway debris to be removed from the site. During demolition of the roadway including asphalt, roadbed, curb, gutter, and sidewalks, the contractor shall limit the daily amount of demolition debris haul to a maximum of 38 trucks per day if 12 -ton capacity haul trucks are used, assuming a one -way haul distance of 9 miles. If truck haul distance for roadway debris is greater than 9 miles, CEQA Findings of Fact -6- Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 7 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 104 4/21/2026 then hauling shall be restricted to no more than 684 miles per day. The demolition debris hauling phase shall not overlap with any other construction phases, including grading. These requirements shall be noted on all construction management plans and verified by the City of Santa Ana during demolition and grading activities. Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated into the project that avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. These changes are identified in the form of a mitigation measure, presented above. Impact 5.1 -4 would be less than significant with mitigation. The City of Santa Ana hereby finds that implementation of the mitigation measure is feasible, and it is therefore adopted. Cultural Resources Impact 5.2 -2 Project - related earthwork may result in a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource. Facts in Support of Finding: Support for this environmental impact conclusion is fully discussed starting on page 5.2 -10 of Section 5. 2, Cultural Resources, of the Draft EIR. The project would involve ground disturbance up to a depth of about 30 inches. The total area of disturbance for the road widening is estimated as 24.7 acres. Although, the project site is already disturbed and developed, because of the early development in this area, previously undiscovered archaeological resources could be damaged during construction. The possible destruction of archaeological resources is considered a significant impact. Mitigation Measures CUL -1 Prior to the initiation of project - related earthmoving activities, the City of Santa Ana project manager or their designee shall retain a county- certified qualified archaeologist. The archaeologist must have knowledge of both prehistoric and historical archaeology, and shall remain on call in the event of a discovery. CUL -2 Prior to the start of ground- disturbing activities on the project site, the City of Santa Ana project manager or their designee shall ensure that a qualified archaeologist or another mitigation program staff member has conducted cultural resources sensitivity training for all construction workers involved in moving soil or working near soil disturbance. Construction personnel, including heavy - equipment operators, shall be briefed on procedures to be followed in the event that cultural remains are encountered by earthmoving activities. Preconstruction training shall include: o Review the types of archaeological resources that might be found Review of laws and applicable requirements concerning the protection of cultural resources o Prehistoric or historic cultural resource discovery procedures CEQA Findings of Fact -7- Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -19 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 105 4/21/2026 The briefing shall be presented to new contractor personnel as necessary Names and telephone numbers of the monitor and other mitigation program personnel shall be provided to appropriate construction personnel CUL -3 During project - related earthmoving activities, if cultural resources are discovered, a qualified archaeologist shall prepare a cultural resource monitoring plan. The cultural resource monitoring plan shall outline when and for how long monitoring shall occur; where on the site monitoring shall be required; methods of monitoring; types of artifacts anticipated; procedures for temporary stop and redirection of work to permit sampling, identification, and evaluation of possible resources; procedures for additional analysis; and accommodation and procedures for Native American monitors, if any. Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated into the project that avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. These changes are identified in the form of a mitigation measure, presented above. Impact 5.2 -2 would be less than significant with mitigation. The City of Santa Ana hereby finds that implementation of the mitigation measure is feasible, and it is therefore adopted. Noise Impact 5.8 -1 Long -term operations due to expansion of Warner Avenue from four to six lanes would expose noise - sensitive land uses to ambient noise levels that exceed the City's noise compatibility criteria. Facts in Support of Finding: Support for this environmental impact conclusion is fully discussed starting on page 5.8 -13 of Section 5.8, Noise, of the Draft EIR. Widening of Warner Avenue from four to six lanes would require demolition of the first row of structures along the north side of Warner Avenue, thereby exposing the second row receptors along Warner Avenue to roadway noise. In addition, expansion of Warner Avenue would change the lane alignments, resulting in locations where travel lanes would be closer to the nearest buildings. The combination of these two impacts could substantially increase exterior and interior noise levels at the noise - sensitive land uses along Warner Avenue. Mitigation Measure N -1 Prior to final engineering plan approval, when detailed roadway alignment, landscape plans, and elevations are available, a final noise study shall be prepared to identify specific sound wall locations along receptors that would be significantly impacted by the project. With current information significantly affected properties are listed in Table 5. 8 -12. Figure 5. 8 -2 shows the sound wall locations and heights that would reduce noise impacts to levels below significance. For aesthetic purposes, the City can use the alternative wall location shown on Figure 5. 8 -2; however, one of the two wall locations is required to provide sound attenuation to meet City of Santa Ana noise standards. Sound walls shall be solid from the ground to the top with no decorative cutouts and shall weigh at least 3. 5 pounds per square foot of face area. The sound walls may be constructed using masonry block, '/a -inch thick glass, or other transparent material with sufficient weight per square foot. The need, location, CEQA Findings of Fact -8- Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -20 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 106 4/21/2026 and height of sound walls /walls shall be determined based on the conclusions of the final acoustical report and the final pad elevations of the grading plan. All walls determined to be necessary for noise mitigation by the final acoustical report shall be incorporated into the final roadway construction plans. Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated into the project that avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. These changes are identified in the form of a mitigation measure, presented above. Impact 5. 8 -1 would be less than significant with mitigation. The City of Santa Ana hereby finds that implementation of the mitigation measure is feasible, and it is therefore adopted. Impact 5. 8 -2 Construction activities would expose sensitive uses to groundborne vibration levels that would be perceptible and potentially cause architectural damage at homes. Facts in Support of Finding: Support for this environmental impact conclusion is fully discussed starting on page 5. 8 -16 of Section 5.8, Noise, of the Draft EIR. Groundborne vibration would be generated by the proposed project during construction activities, primarily during the demolition, grading, and foundation phases. At a distance of 25 feet, vibration levels generated by a vibratory roller would exceed the FTA threshold and would have the potential to cause architectural damage at existing structures. Mitigation Measure N -2 The use of vibratory rollers shall be prohibited within 30 feet of a residential structure. If soil compacting is required within 30 feet of a residential structure, static rollers shall be employed. Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated into the project that avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. These changes are identified in the form of a mitigation measure, presented above. Impact 5. 8 -2 would be less than significant with mitigation. The City of Santa Ana hereby finds that implementation of the mitigation measure is feasible, and it is therefore adopted. Transportation and Traffic Impact 5.10 -6 Project construction may require additional temporary safety measures to assure safe routes to schools for elementary schools next to the project site. Facts in Support of Finding: Support for this environmental impact conclusion is fully discussed starting on page 5.10 -28 of Section 5.10, Transportation and Traffic, of the Draft EIR. There are two schools next to the project site: James Monroe Elementary School at 417 East Central Avenue along the south side of Warner Avenue near its intersection with Oak Street; and Manuel Esqueda Elementary School at 2240 South Main Street at the northwest corner of the intersection of Warner Avenue and Main Street. Temporary changes to roadway and intersection configuration during project construction, including changes to crosswalks and pedestrian crossing signals, may require additional, temporary safety measures for students and other CEQA Findings of Fact -9- Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -21 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 107 4/21/2026 pedestrians during project construction. Mitigation Measure T -2 Prior to the beginning of any utility relocation, demolition, or construction work, a detailed construction traffic control plan shall be prepared by a licensed civil engineer. The construction traffic control plan shall be based on the most recent version of the Greenbook: Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction federal); California Department of Transportation California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (state); Southern California Chapter of the American Public Works Association Work Area Traffic Control Handbook, and City Standard Provisions (local). The traffic control plan shall include extensive public outreach and public awareness through the use of mailers and notices in local papers and other publications. T -3 The construction traffic control plan required by Mitigation Measure T -2 shall include addition of any needed temporary safety measures to the Safe Routes to Schools plans for James Monroe Elementary School and Manuel Esqueda Elementary School. Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated into the project that avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. These changes are identified in the form of a mitigation measure, presented above. Impact 5.10 -6 would be less than significant with mitigation. The City of Santa Ana hereby finds that implementation of the mitigation measures are feasible, and they are therefore adopted. Impact 5.10 -7 The project could require temporary alterations, including rerouting, of OCTA bus services during project construction; and permanent relocation of the bus stop at Warner Avenue and Standard Avenue for the proposed reconfiguration of the Cherry Aerospace access improvements. Facts in Support of Finding: Support for this environmental impact conclusion is fully discussed starting on page 5.10 -28 of Section 5.10, Transportation and Traffic, of the Draft EIR. The proposed truck access reconfiguration and concrete access pad for the Cherry Aerospace facility could potentially impact OCTA bus operations at the existing Warner Avenue/Standard Avenue bus stop. Therefore, project constriction could require temporary alteration, which may include rerouting, of OCTA bus routes 53, 55, 72 and 463 serving Warner Avenue between Main Street and Grand Avenue. Construction of the proposed truck access reconfiguration and concrete access pad for the Cherry Aerospace facility would require permanent relocation of the OCTA bus stop for eastbound Route 72, which is now located between Cherry Aerospace driveways. Mitigation Measure T -4 At least three months before the start of any project work that could impact the Warner Avenue roadway, concrete pads at existing bus stops in the project site, or sidewalks, the City of Santa Ana and the project traffic engineer shall coordinate with the Orange County Transportation Authority to specify any needed temporary alterations of service on OCTA Routes 53, 55, 72, and 463. Such alterations may include rerouting bus routes off of Warner Avenue in the project site and permanent CEQA Findings of Fact - 10 - Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -22 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 108 4/21/2026 relocation of the bus stop at Standard Avenue and Warner Avenue due to the proposed buck turn-out for Cherry Aerospace. Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated into the project that avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. These changes are identified in the form of a mitigation measure, presented above. Impact 5.10 -7 would be less than significant with mitigation. The City of Santa Ana hereby finds that implementation of the mitigation measure is feasible, and it is therefore adopted. B. SIGNIFICANT UNAVOIDABLE IMPACTS The following summary describes the unavoidable impacts of the proposed project where mitigation measures were found to be infeasible, or they would not reduce impacts to less than significant. The following impact would remain significant and unavoidable. Noise Impact 5.8 -3 Construction activities would substantially elevate noise levels in the vicinity of noise - sensitive land uses for an extended duration. Facts in Support of Finding: Support for this environmental impact conclusion is fully discussed starting on page 5. 8 -19 of Section 5.8, Noise, of the Draft EIR. Short -term noise would be associated with the site preparation, grading, and building construction of the proposed road widening. While the magnitude of the noise would, at times, be up to 86 dBA Ley, it would fluctuate throughout the workday because equipment would not be in use at one location for an extended period of time. Operation of heavy earthmoving equipment has the potential to substantially elevate noise levels at nearby residential areas for an extended duration over several months; construction noise is considered significant. Mitigation Measures N -1 Prior to final engineering plan approval, when detailed roadway alignment, landscape plans, and elevations are available, a final noise study shall be prepared to identify specific sound wall locations along receptors that would be significantly impacted by the project. With current information significantly affected properties are listed in Table 5. 8 -12. Figure 5.8 -2 shows the sound wall locations and heights that would reduce noise impacts to levels below significance. For aesthetic purposes, the City can use the alternative wall location shown on Figure 5. 8 -2; however, one of the two wall locations is required to provide sound attenuation to meet City of Santa Ana noise standards. Sound walls shall be solid from the ground to the top with no decorative cutouts and shall weigh at least 3.5 pounds per square foot of face area. The sound walls may be constructed using masonry block, '/a -inch thick glass, or other transparent material with sufficient weight per square foot. The need, location, and height of sound walls /walls shall be determined based on the conclusions of the final acoustical report and the final pad elevations of the grading plan. All walls determined to be necessary for noise mitigation by the final acoustical report shall be incorporated into the final roadway construction plans. N -2 The use of vibratory rollers shall be prohibited within 30 feet of a residential CEQA Findings of Fact - 11 - Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -23 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 109 4/21/2026 structure. If soil compacting is required within 30 feet of a residential structure, static rollers shall be employed. N -3 Prior to the start of grading, the construction contractor shall provide evidence acceptable to the Public Works Director, or designee, that: a. All construction vehicles and equipment, fixed or mobile, shall be equipped with properly operating and maintained mufflers; mufflers shall be equivalent to or of greater noise reducing performance than manufacturer's standard. b. Stationary equipment, such as generators, cranes, and air compressors, shall be located as far from adjacent residences and James Monroe Elementary School as feasible. c. Equipment maintenance, vehicle parking, and material staging areas shall be located as far away from adjacent residences and James Monroe Elementary School as feasible. N -4 The recommended sound walls described in N -1 shall be constructed as soon as practicable to minimize temporary construction - related noise impacts during implementation of the project. Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated into the project that avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. These changes are identified in the form of a mitigation measure, presented above. The City of Santa Ana hereby finds that implementation of the mitigation measure is feasible, and it is therefore adopted. Mitigation Measures N -1 through N -4 would reduce noise generated by construction activities to the extent feasible. However, due to the amount of heavy construction equipment required and duration of construction activities, Impact 5. 8 - 3 would remain significant and unavoidable and a Statement of Overriding Considerations is required. Transportation and Traffic Impact 5.10 -3 Project construction may result in temporary impacts to levels of service at Warner Avenue /Main Street and Warner Avenue/Halladay Street intersections. Facts in Support of Finding: Support for this environmental impact conclusion is fully discussed starting on page 5.10 -26 of Section 5. 10, Transportation and Traffic, of the Draft EIR. The analysis detennined that three studied intersections would continue to operate at acceptable LOS D or better and two intersections would operate at unacceptable LOS: Main Street and Warner Avenue at LOS E during PM peak hour, and Halladay Street and Warner Avenue at LOS F during PM peak hour. Additionally, because the Maple Street and Warner Avenue intersection is unsignalized, the delay would be worsened in the north and south directions. These impacts would be temporary, and traffic flow would improve once the construction is complete. Short- term roadway closures would occur during removal and relocation of overhead electrical poles.

Directions to alternative routes shall be provided to drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians during road closures. Road closures shall not last over 24 hours without advance written approval of the Executive Director of the City of Santa Ana Public Works Agency or designee. T -2 Prior to the beginning of any utility relocation, demolition, or construction work, a detailed construction traffic control plan shall be prepared by a licensed civil engineer. The construction traffic control plan shall be based on the most recent version of the Greenbook: Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction federal); California Department of Transportation California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (state); Southern California Chapter of the American Public Works Association Work Area Traffic Control Handbook; and City Standard Provisions (local). The traffic control plan shall include extensive public outreach and public awareness through the use of mailers and notices in local papers and other publications. Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated into the project that avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. These changes are identified in the form of a mitigation measure, presented above. The City of Santa Ana hereby finds that implementation of the mitigation measure is feasible, and it is therefore adopted. Mitigation Measures T -1 and T -2 would reduce construction- related traffic impacts to the extent feasible. However, due to the reduction in travel lanes and duration of construction activities, Impact 5.10 -3 would remain significant and unavoidable and a Statement of Overriding Considerations is required. III. FINDINGS ON PROJECT ALTERNATIVES The CEQA Guidelines (Section 15126[a]) state that an EIR must address "a range of reasonable alternatives to the project, or to the location of the project, which could feasibly attain the basic objectives of the project, but would avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the project and evaluate the comparative merits of the alternatives." The alternatives were based, in part, on their potential ability to reduce or eliminate the impacts determined to be significant and unavoidable for the proposed project even after implementation of all feasible mitigation measures. As described in Chapter 7 of this Draft FIR, five project alternatives were identified, considered, and rejected from further analysis as described below: Alternative Project Site Preliminary Engineering Alternatives 0 100 ROW 0 110 Center Alternative 0 120 North Alternative 0 120 Center Alternative Four project alternatives were identified and analyzed for relative impacts as compared to the proposed project: No Project Alternative CEQA Findings of Fact - 13 - Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -25 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 111 4/21/2026 110 South Alternative 120 South Alternative Revised Construction Alternative The alternatives analyzed in the EIR were determined to represent a reasonable range of alternatives with the potential to feasibly attain most of the basic objectives of the project but avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the project. A. No Project Alternative Section 15126.6(e) of the CEQA Guidelines requires the analysis of a No Project Alternative. This No Project analysis must discuss the existing condition, as well as what would be reasonably expected to occur in the foreseeable future if the project were not to be approved. In this alternative Warner Avenue from Main Street to Grand Avenue is not widened, and the existing roadway configuration and intersection traffic controls remain as is. The new bicycle lanes and improved sidewalks included in the proposed project would not be constructed. No properties would be acquired, and no buildings demolished for roadway widening. Drainage improvements included in the proposed project would not be installed. Facts in Support of Finding: This alternative would meet one project objective, Objective 6 — minimizing property acquisition including public facilities — but would not meet any of the other project objectives. This alternative would increase impacts on geology and soils, hydrology and water quality, transportation and traffic, and utilities and service systems. This alternative would avoid one significant and unavoidable impact, (construction noise), but would increase the significant and unavoidable impact related to construction- phase traffic. Finding: The City of Santa Ana finds, based on the Final EIR and the whole of the record, that the No Project Alternative is less desirable than the proposed project. Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including considerations for the provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make this alternative less than desirable than the proposed project. Public Resources Code § 21081 [a][3], Guidelines § 15091 [a][3]). B. 110 South Alternative This alternative would use a 110 -foot total ROW width, a modified Major Arterial ROW, and would align the road widening mostly on the south of the existing centerline. The ROW includes six 11 -foot lanes, a 14- foot -wide raised landscaped median, 5 -foot shoulder/bike lanes, and 10- foot parkway and sidewalk. This alternative would require 25 full and 31 partial parcel acquisitions. Compared to the proposed project, the major differences with this alignment are the acquisition and building removal of three additional commercial parcels (at the strip commercial center) and one industrial parcel (Cherry Aerospace). Partial impacts to industrial parcels on the north side of Warner Avenue would be reduced. The majority of impacts to full residential parcels would be shifted from the north to the south side of Warner Avenue and result in the reduction of 10 full CEQA Findings of Fact - 14 - Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -26 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 112 4/21/2026 acquisitions, and an increase of 4 partial acquisitions, compared to the proposed project. Facts in Support of Finding: This alternative would achieve all project objectives. This alternative would reduce the number of residential parcels that would be affected by construction noise; however, this impact would remain significant and unavoidable in this alternative, as it would for the proposed project. The 110 South Alternative would reduce environmental impacts to population and housing; all other environmental topics would be similar to the proposed project. This alternative would result in the loss of a strip of property along the north side of James Monroe Elementary School, National Guard Armory, and Delhi Park and the demolition of Cherry Aerospace, a large industrial parcel that provides the community with income and employment opportunities. While fewer homes would be demolished under this alternative, the demolition of Cherry Aerospace would not be an economically feasible substitute. Additionally, the impact to public facilities would have greater effects to the community compared to the proposed project. Land use and planning impacts would be greater than the proposed project. Finding: The City of Santa Ana finds, based on the Final FIR and the whole of the record, that the 110 South Alternative is less desirable than the proposed project. Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including considerations for the provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make this alternative less than desirable than the proposed project. Public Resources Code § 21081 [a] [3], Guidelines § 15091 [a] [3]). C. 120 South Alternative This alternative would use a 120 -foot total ROW width, the City of Santa Ana standard Major Arterial ROW, and would align most of the road widening to the south of the existing centerline. The ROW includes six 12 -foot lanes, a 14- foot -wide raised landscaped median, 7 -foot shoulder/bike lanes, and 10 -foot parkway and sidewalk. This alternative would require 31 full and 25 partial parcel acquisitions. Compared to the proposed project, the major differences with this alignment are the acquisition and building removal of three additional commercial parcels (at the strip commercial center), the fire station, and two industrial parcels (Cherry Aerospace and H &H asphalt). The majority of impacts to full residential parcels would be shifted from the north to the south side of Warner Avenue and result in the reduction of 4 full acquisitions. Facts in Support of Finding: This alternative would result in the loss of a significant strip of property along Warner Avenue at the Monroe Elementary School, National Guard Armory, and Delhi Park. This alternative would not reduce either of the significant and unavoidable impacts of the proposed project, and would increase environmental impacts to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and hazards and hazardous materials. Long term traffic noise impacts may be reduced. All other environmental topics would be similar to the proposed project.

Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including considerations for the provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers and the effects to the community, make this alternative less than desirable than the proposed project. Public Resources Code § 21O81[a][3], Guidelines § 15O91[a][3]). D. Revised Construction Alternative The operation of heavy earthmoving equipment would substantially elevate noise levels near residential areas and schools (considered sensitive noise receptors) over several months; therefore, construction noise is considered significant. This alternative would reduce the number of heavy earthmoving equipment and construction activities occurring daily and extend construction schedule as shown in the table below, and would reduce construction- related noise impacts. In most cases the pieces of equipment would be reduced by half and the duration of each phase of construction would be doubled.

ROW clearance, demolition, and removal of buildings, pads, and poles would be done over 3 to 5 years as parcels are acquired by the City. 2 Duration is for each side of the street required for widening in 0.25 -mile segments. For example, laying pavement would take 17 days for a 0.25 -mile section on the north side of Warner Avenue and another 17 days for a 0. 25 -mile section an the south side of Warner Avenue. Facts in Support of Finding: Impacts related to construction transportation and traffic — one of the two significant and unavoidable impacts — would be greater than for the proposed project. All other environmental topics would be similar to the proposed project. Construction noise impacts would be reduced, but not to less than significant levels. Impacts would remain significant and unavoidable. This alternative would achieve all project objectives CEQA Findings of Fact - 16 - Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -28 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 114 4/21/2026 Finding: The City of Santa Ana finds, based on the Final EIR and the whole of the record, that the Revised Construction Alternative is less desirable than the proposed project.

INTRODUCTION The City of Santa Ana (City) is the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act CEQA) and is responsible for preparation, review, and certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report (Final EIR) for the Warner Avenue hprovements and Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue. As the lead agency, the City is also responsible for determining the potential environmental impacts of the proposed action, which of those impacts are significant, and therefore require mitigation measures to avoid or minimize those impacts. CEQA then requires the lead agency to balance the benefits of the proposed action against its significant unavoidable adverse environmental impacts before determining whether or not to approve the proposed project. In making this determination, the City complies with the Section 15093 of the CEQA Guidelines, which provides: a) CEQA requires the decision - malting agency to balance, as applicable, the economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits of a proposed project against its unavoidable environmental risks when determining whether to approve the project. If the specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits of a proposed project outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental effects, the adverse environmental effects may be considered "acceptable." b) When the lead agency approves a project which will result in the occurrence of significant effects which are identified in the Final FIR but are not avoided or substantially lessened, the agency shall state in writing the specific reasons to support its action based on the Final EIR and/or other information in the record. The statement of overriding considerations shall be supported by substantial evidence in the record. c) If an agency makes a statement of overriding considerations, the statement should be included in the record of the project approval and should be mentioned in the notice of determination. This statement does not substitute for, and shall be in addition to, findings required pursuant to Section 15091. In addition, Public Resources Code, Section 21081(b), requires that where a public agency finds that specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including considerations for the provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or alternatives identified in an EIR and thereby leave significant unavoidable effects, the public agency must also 'find that overriding economic, legal, CEQA Statement of Overriding Considerations - 1 - Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -30 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 116 4/21/2026 social, technological, or other benefits of the project outweigh the significant effects of the proj ect. Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081(b) and the State CEQA Guidelines Section 15093, the City has balanced the benefits of the project against the following unavoidable adverse impacts associated with the project and has adopted all feasible mitigation measures with respect to these impacts. The City also has examined alternatives to the project, none of which both meets the project objectives and is environmentally preferable to the proposed project for the reasons discussed in the Findings and Facts in Support of Findings. II. SIGNIFICANT AND UNAVOIDABLE ADVERSE IMPACTS Although most potential project - related impacts have been substantially reduced or avoided through mitigation, as described in the Findings of Fact, there remain some impacts for which complete mitigation is not feasible. For some impacts, mitigation measures were identified and adopted, but even with implementation of the measures, the City finds that the impact cannot be reduced to a less than significant level. The Final FIR identified the following project- related significant unavoidable adverse impacts. A. NOISE — Construction Construction activities would substantially elevate noise levels in the vicinity of noise- sensitive land uses for an extended duration. Short-term noise would be associated with the site preparation, grading, and building construction of the proposed road widening. The existing noise levels at receptors along Warner Avenue range from 69.5 to 72.8 dBA Leg. Each construction phase would generate noise levels ranging from 82 to 87 dBA Leq at 25 feet; however it would fluctuate throughout the workday because equipment would not be in use at one location for an extended period of time. Because the operation of heavy earthmoving equipment has the potential to substantially elevate noise levels at nearby residential areas for an extended duration over several months, construction noise is considered significant. Mitigation Measure N -1 requires the location of sound walls included in final roadway construction plans; Mitigation Measure N -2 requires that vibratory rollers not be used within 30 feet of homes; Mitigation Measure N -3 puts restrictions on construction vehicles and equipment; and Mitigation Measure N -4 requires early construction of permanent sound walls. Mitigation Measures N -1, N -2, N -3, and N -4 would reduce noise generated by construction activities to the extent feasible; however, construction -phase noise impacts are still anticipated to occur; therefore, this impact is considered significant and unavoidable. B. TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC — Construction Project construction would temporary affect traffic flow along Warner Avenue and surrounding streets, and significantly impact Warner Avenue/Main Street and Warner Avenue /Halladay Street intersections. Construction would be completed in linear segments so the entire length of Warner Avenue within the project limits is not disrupted at once. During demolition and construction, the four existing travel lanes on Warner Avenue would be narrowed to two lanes, one lane in each CEQA Statement of Overriding Considerations -2- Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -31 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 117 4/21/2026 direction, along the side opposite the area of construction. Where lane closures during peak periods cannot be avoided, traffic would be managed to give priority to the direction that has the heaviest traffic. Short -term roadway closures would occur during removal and relocation of overhead electrical poles. Two intersections would operate at unacceptable LOS during the construction phase: Main Street and Warner Avenue at LOS E during PM peak hour, and Halliday Street and Warner Avenue at LOS F during PM peak hour. Mitigation Measure T -1 requires that lane closures avoid non -rush -hour periods. Mitigation Measure T -2 requires that a construction traffic management plan identifying construction traffic control requirements, traffic detours, and other necessary measures be implemented. The measure also requires extensive public notification about the construction. Mitigation Measures T -1 and T -2 would reduce traffic delays caused by construction activities to the extent feasible; however, construction -phase traffic impacts are still anticipated to occur; therefore, this impact is considered significant and unavoidable. III. CONSIDERATIONS IN SUPPORT OF THE STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS After balancing the specific economic, legal, social, technological, and other benefits of the proposed project, the City of Santa Ana has determined that the unavoidable adverse temporary construction - related environmental impacts identified above may be considered "acceptable" due to the specific considerations discussed below; therefore, the project benefits. outweigh the unavoidable, adverse environmental impacts. The following benefits will occur as a result of approval of the proposed project. 1. Design and construct Warner Avenue to be consistent with the City's General Plan Circulation Element and Orange County Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH) designation as a major arterial. Warner Avenue within the project limits is a four -lane undivided road with variable curb -to- curb and right -of -way (ROW) widths. Warner Avenue has a major arterial designation with six -lanes in both the City's General Plan Circulation Element and the Orange County MPAH; therefore the current cross - section is inconsistent with both documents. Widening Warner Avenue from ,four to six lanes between Main Street and Grand Avenue would make this section of the street consistent with the City's General Plan Circulation Element and the Orange County MPAH. 2. Alleviate traffic congestion and delays within the Warner Avenue project limits. By adding a vehicle travel lane in each direction, Warner Avenue widening will significantly reduce traffic congestion and delays within the one mile project limits. Additionally by providing a safer travel options for pedestrians and bicyclist, it is anticipated that some people may choose to not drive thereby reducing traffic. 3. Provide roadway capacity to accommodate existing and future traffic volumes. Warner Avenue within the project limits is a four -lane road with variable curb -to -curb and right -of -way (ROW) widths. It has a median (striped not raised) in some segments and no median in other segments; therefore, this four -lane section of Warner Avenue is designed to accommodate up to 20,000 vehicles per day (LOS Q. Currently there are 23,000 to 28,000 CEQA Statement of Overriding Considerations -3- Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -32 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 118 4/21/2026 vehicles per day. By the year 2035 estimated traffic volumes along this segment are forecast at 30,000 to 31,900 vehicles per day. Both the existing andfuture daily traffic volumes exceed the acceptable level ofservice for a four -lane undivided roadway. Warner Avenue would be widened to six -lanes to comply with the major arterial designation and would accommodate 45, 000 to 60, 000 vehicles per day for current and future traffic. 4. Increase vehicular safety and reduce accidents by removing left turn hazards. The project would have a raised median as a traffic calming feature controlling vehicle left turns and cross traffic for improved safety. The reduction of driveway accesses along Warner Avenue would potentially reduce accidents caused by backing up across the sidewalk and into oncoming traffic and vehicle collisions between through movement and vehicles accessing from private properties. 5. Comply with the Complete Streets Act by providing safe and accessible travel for bicyclist, pedestrians, wheelchairs, transit riders and motorists through additional bike and vehicle lanes, wider parkway and sidewalks and improved bus locations. The City is in the process ofupdating the General Plan Circulation Element and will comply with the complete streets principles (planning for all modes) as required by the Complete Streets Act. Warner Avenue project would be consistent with the circulation element and therefore would comply with the policies outlined in the Complete Streets Act (AB 1358, Chapter 657, Statutes of 2008). The project would have: sidewalks with ADA- compliant horizontal clearance and curb ramps bike lanes for clearly - designated separate area for bicyclists to improve safety by removing conflicts caused by sharing space with pedestrians on the sidewalk and vehicles in travel lanesparkway with trees and landscaping for shade and separation of pedestrians and people in wheelchairs from moving vehicles and bicycles relocated Pack Electric Bike Path (Maple Street Bike Trail) from crossing Warner Avenue in the vicinity of Rousselle Street to crossing at the Maple Street traffic light for safer street location additional vehicle lane in each direction to provide less congested movement of motorists and commercial goods. improved bus locations for transit riders improved lighting for vehicle and pedestrian safety Therefore, in compliance with the Complete Streets Act, this project would accommodate bicyclists, children, persons with disabilities, motorists, movers of commercial goods, pedestrians, users ofpublic transportation, and seniors. 6. Improve stormwater drainage and water quality. CEQA Statement of Overriding Considerations -4- Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -33 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 15 – 119 4/21/2026 All of the street segments have undersized storm drains, except Grand Avenue to the railroad tracks. The project- related drainage system improvements significantly reduce flooding by increasing the capacity of underground storm drains. The project would include construction of Water Quality Management Plan Best Management Practices for site design, structural source control, and treatment control which would increase the quality of the stormwater and runoff that flows into the drainage system. IV. Conclusion The City of Santa Ana has balanced the project's benefits against the project's significant unavoidable impacts. For the abovementioned reasons, implementation of the Warner Avenue Improvements and Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue project would have environmental, economic, and social benefits that outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental impacts of the physical development, and those impacts, therefore, are considered acceptable in light of the project's benefits. The City finds that each of the benefits described above is an overriding consideration, independent of the other benefits, that warrants approval of the project notwithstanding the project's significant unavoidable impacts.

Introduction 1. 1 PURPOSE OF MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) provides the mitigation measures outlined in the Warner Avenue Improvements and Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Environmental Impact Report EIR), State Clearinghouse No. 2012101004. This MMRP fully complies with Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code that states: a) When making findings required by paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 21081 or when adopting a mitigated negative declaration pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) of Section 21080, the following requirements shall apply: 1) The public agency shall adopt a reporting or monitoring program for the changes made to the project or conditions of project approval, adopted in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment. The reporting or monitoring program shall be designed to ensure compliance during project implementation. For those changes which have been required or incorporated into the project at the request of a responsible agency or a public agency having jurisdiction by law over natural resources affected by the project, that agency shall, if so requested by the lead or responsible agency, prepare and submit a proposed reporting or monitoring program. f% 2) The lead agency shall specify the location and custodian of the documents or other material which constitute the record of proceedings upon which its decision is based. 1.2 PROJECT LOCATION, SETTING AND SURROUNDING LAND USES The project site is a one mile section of Warner Avenue between Main Street and Grand Avenue in the southwestern portion of the City of Santa Ana in central Orange County. The site consists of Warner Avenue between Main Street on the west and Grand Avenue on the east, along with all or portions of parcels along the north and south sides of Warner Avenue. Warner Avenue within the project limits is a four -lane road with variable curb -to -curb and right -of -way (ROW) widths. It has a median (striped not raised) in some segments and no median in other segments; therefore, this four -lane section of Warner Avenue is designed to accommodate up to 20,000 vehicles per day (LOS C). Currently there is 23,000 to 28,000 vehicles per day. Some segments of Warner Avenue within the project limits include a striped center turn lane while others do not. In some areas the sidewalk is directly adjacent to the street while parkways separate the sidewalk from the curb in other locations. Sidewalk widths vary from four to ten feet depending on the location; however some sections restrict pedestrian space to less than three feet wide between power poles and landscape shrubs or walls. Bike lanes are not provided along Warner Avenue within the project limits. Pacific Electric Bike Path (Maple Street Bike Trail) crosses Warner Avenue in the vicinity of Rousselle Street. The Union Pacific Rail Road (UPRR) rail corridor crosses Warner Avenue between Standard Avenue and Grand Avenue. Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) provides public transit services to the City as well as within the project area. Currently, OCTA has three bus routes servicing the project area (Bus Route 53 servicing Anaheim through Irvine via Main Street, Bus Route 585 servicing Santa Ana through Newport Beach via Standard Avenue, Bus Route 72 servicing Sunset Beach through Tustin via Warner Avenue, and Bus Route 463 servicing Santa Ana via Grand Avenue). Land uses along Warner Avenue within the project limits include a mixture of commercial, residential, and industrial uses.

Introduction 1.3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project would improve and widen Warner Avenue from Main Street to Grand Avenue, from the existing variable ROW to a consistent 110 -foot ROW. Warner Avenue would have six traffic lanes, raised landscaped median, bike lanes, parkways, and sidewalks. The project would also include replacement of existing storm drains with larger storm drains, and the undergrounding of existing utilities along the project segment. The project requires City acquisition of 35 full parcels and a portion of 27 parcels (based on assessor parcel number). Note that multiple APN's comprise some single properties and that one property may have multiple businesses or addresses. Based on Draft Relocation Impact Statement (property ownership records) the total acquisition would be 34 full and 22 partial properties.. 4A fit. 101Jh7IWk if, TWIi IJsCr*J y 1.4.1 Impacts Considered Less Than Significant The following environmental topics were determined to have less than significant impacts.

(Agreement No. A-2026- XXX). GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No     City Council 16 – 1 4/21/2026 Waste Infrastructure System Enterprise Agreement with the County of Orange April 21, 2026 Page 2 5 7 0 0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On January 27, 2026, the County of Orange adopted a successor agreement to the existing Waste Disposal Agreement (WDA) that governs disposal of municipal solid waste at County landfill facilities. The new agreement, titled the Waste Infrastructure System Enterprise (WISE) Agreement, establishes a revised landfill disposal rate structure and operational framework intended to address increased regulatory, operational, and capital costs associated with landfill management. The WISE Agreement was approved by the Orange County Board of Supervisors and will become effective if jurisdictions representing at least 50% of the landfill tonnage delivered to County facilities ratify the agreement. Participating cities must approve the agreement by April 30, 2026 to receive the negotiated rate structure identified below in Figure 1 or else be charged rates that are higher than the negotiated rates. As of April 14, 2026, 27 cities have adopted the WISE Agreement, surpassing the 50% threshold. Cities that fail to enter into the WISE Agreement will be charged the non-WISE rate of $92.70/ton rate (as opposed to the $67.00/ton WISE rate), beginning July 1, 2026. Although the WISE Agreement increases landfill disposal costs by 53%, the City has limited alternatives due to the County’s control of the regional landfill system. Redirecting waste outside the County is economically unfeasible: Riverside landfills are at capacity, and the Orange County City Managers Association (OCCMA) consultants estimate that outsourcing to Los Angeles or San Diego would cost approximately $100 per ton. To mitigate the near-term financial impact of the increased disposal costs, staff recommends a one-year rate stabilization strategy and execution of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Republic Services that keeps trash disposal rates subsidized for the near term and initiating a Proposition 218 process to update refuse collection rates in a manner that reflects the increased landfill disposal costs in Fiscal Year 2026- 27. Approval of the WISE Agreement, the professional services agreement with HF&H Consultants, and directing the City Manager to negotiate an MOU with Republic Services will allow the City to maintain reliable solid waste disposal services while managing the financial impacts associated with the new County disposal rate structure. BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION The County of Orange (County), through Orange County Waste & Recycling (OCWR), manages the regional solid waste disposal system serving Orange County. The County operates three active organic processing facilities, 20 inactive solid waste disposal sites, and four household hazardous waste collection centers. Solid waste generated within the City of Santa Ana (City) is disposed of at County landfill facilities and has historically been governed by the 2009 WDA between the City     City Council 16 – 2 4/21/2026 Waste Infrastructure System Enterprise Agreement with the County of Orange April 21, 2026 Page 3 5 7 0 0 and the County. Under the WDA, all 34 Orange County participating jurisdictions agreed to dispose of solid waste within the County landfill system in exchange for stable disposal rates and guaranteed landfill capacity. The WDA established parameters for landfill disposal rates and the importation of waste from outside the County. The City Council approved the original WDA on May 4, 2009, with a term beginning July 1, 2010. The agreement was subsequently amended several times to maintain rate stability for participating jurisdictions. Most recently, the City Council approved an amendment to the WDA on May 20, 2025, extending the agreement through June 30, 2026 to allow the Orange County City Managers Association (OCCMA) time to finalize negotiations with the County on a successor agreement, now titled the Waste Infrastructure System Enterprise (WISE) Agreement (Exhibit 1). WISE Agreement The County developed the WISE Agreement as the successor to the WDA to address increased operational requirements associated with landfill management, including new State regulatory mandates, environmental compliance obligations, and long-term infrastructure and closure costs. The proposed agreement was adopted by the Orange County Board of Supervisors and requires ratification by a majority of Orange County cities to become effective. The majority has been met; as of April 14th, 27 cities have adopted the WISE Agreement, surpassing the 50% threshold. Participating cities coordinated negotiations with the County through OCCMA to secure more favorable terms for local jurisdictions. During negotiations, OCWR identified rising operational and regulatory costs related to landfill operations, as well as the need for additional capital funding to support closure activities at the Brea Olinda Landfill and the long-term capacity expansion of the landfill in San Juan Capistrano. OCWR’s initial WISE proposal included a substantial increase in disposal rates from the current $43.76 per ton in Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 to $82.00 per ton in the first year of the new agreement, with projected increases reaching approximately $107.00 per ton by 2035. Through extensive negotiations, participating agencies secured a phased rate structure for the first three years of the agreement, followed by annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments beginning in FY 2029-30. Figure 1 – Disposal Fee Structure Fiscal Year Contract Rate % Increase 2025-26 (Current)$43.76/ton --- 2026-27 $67.00/ton 53.1% 2027-28 $74.00/ton 10.4% 2028-29 $81.00/ton 9.5% 2029-30 $81.00/ton + CPI Variable     City Council 16 – 3 4/21/2026 Waste Infrastructure System Enterprise Agreement with the County of Orange April 21, 2026 Page 4 5 7 0 0 In addition to the phased rate structure, OCCMA successfully negotiated several key provisions intended to improve transparency, accountability, and cost control, including: An annual “True-Up” process beginning in 2030 that may freeze CPI adjustments depending on OCWR’s cost recovery and tonnage revenue, with the ability for cities to initiate a meet-and-confer process supported by an independent consultant. Ongoing OCCMA participation through annual reporting and notification requirements to improve transparency and oversight of OCWR’s financial status and implementation of the WISE Agreement. Removal of language that would have held cities financially responsible for hauler non-payment. Adoption of a blended CPI index consisting of 60% Solid Waste, Water, and Sewer index and 40% All Urban Consumers index. Removal of the requirement that all residential organic waste be sent to County facilities, allowing cities flexibility in selecting organic waste processing services. Cities must approve the WISE Agreement by April 30, 2026 in order to receive the negotiated rate structure. Jurisdictions that do not participate may be subject to landfill disposal rates of at least 10% higher than the negotiated rates. The agreement will become effective once jurisdictions representing at least 50% of the disposal tonnage delivered to County landfills approve the agreement; that threshold has been met. The WISE Agreement has an initial ten-year term through June 30, 2036, with one optional ten-year extension. With the agreement taking effect July 1, 2026, the increased WISE agreement costs are anticipated to increase waste servicing costs by up to 12% for commercial, 15% for residential, and 23% for industrial customers, excluding any hauler-related service cost adjustments. Given the County’s ownership and operation of the regional landfill system, the City has limited alternatives for waste disposal. As a result, participation in the WISE Agreement represents the most cost-effective option available for maintaining reliable disposal services for the City’s solid waste system. Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Republic Services To mitigate the immediate financial impact of the landfill disposal rate increase, staff recommends a one-year rate stabilization strategy for FY 2026-27 through a MOU with Republic Services. Staff reviewed the City’s Refuse Collection Service Enterprise Fund and determined that sufficient spendable fund balance, $8.3 million, is available to temporarily offset the increase in landfill disposal costs. The estimated cost to offset the FY 2026-27 disposal rate increase is approximately $6.8 million. The enterprise fund currently maintains     City Council 16 – 4 4/21/2026 Waste Infrastructure System Enterprise Agreement with the County of Orange April 21, 2026 Page 5 5 7 0 0 adequate reserves to offset this cost for one fiscal year without affecting essential solid waste operations. The Solid Waste Enterprise fund balance has been strategically accumulated to provide a fiscal buffer against emergencies, including unforeseen rate increases and the potential cancellation of revenue-sharing programs. Consistent with enterprise fund accounting standards, all balances held in this fund must maintain a direct nexus to solid waste operations. The Solid Waste Enterprise fund balance is also utilized to ensure compliance with evolving state mandates including new regulatory requirements and programming, improving public building’s waste storage and disposal facilities, rigorous auditing standards, and comprehensive reporting obligations. Approval of the MOU formalizes the City’s strategy to stabilize refuse rates for residents and businesses during FY 2026-27 while the City evaluates long-term rate adjustments. The purpose of a MOU is to memorialize the agreement between the City of Santa Ana and Republic Services regarding the refuse rate structure for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27. The MOU will establish how the City will plan to mitigate the impact of the WISE rate increase on residents and businesses by using rate reserves to offset most of the increases in disposal costs in the initial year. Reserves contained in the City’s Refuse Enterprise Fund would be used to cover the increased landfill tipping fees associated with the WISE Agreement for all customer classes. Under this approach, the City would reimburse Republic Services for the incremental disposal cost increases, thereby shielding customers from these additional charges, during fiscal year 2026-27. The MOU will also establish the methodology of that rate structure including the formal payment process and reporting structure. Staff is seeking City Council to direct staff to proceed with the rate stabilization strategy and to negotiate an MOU with Republic Services acknowledging the rate stabilization structure. Staff will return to Council in the future for approval of such an MOU. Agreement with HF&H To ensure the long-term financial sustainability of the City’s solid waste program, it is critical to recognize that the City cannot indefinitely absorb the added costs imposed by the County’s WISE Agreement. While the use of approximately $6.8 million from the Refuse Collection Service Enterprise Fund provides a necessary "Rate Stabilization Shield" for Fiscal Year 2026-27, these reserves are finite and intended for one-time emergency or stabilization use rather than ongoing operational subsidies. Relying on reserves to offset a permanent 53% increase in landfill tipping fees would lead to the rapid depletion of the fund and insolvency. Consequently, staff will initiate several actions, including a formal Proposition 218 process, to update refuse collection rates to reflect the increased landfill disposal costs associated with the WISE Agreement for consideration by January of 2027.     City Council 16 – 5 4/21/2026 Waste Infrastructure System Enterprise Agreement with the County of Orange April 21, 2026 Page 6 5 7 0 0 Staff recommends awarding a professional services agreement to HF&H Consultants to conduct the necessary financial analysis and manage the Proposition 218 rate adjustment process (Exhibit 2). HF&H is a recognized leader in solid waste, recycling, and organics consulting, specifically known for their expertise in complex municipal rate modeling and regulatory compliance. The firm has an established contractual relationship with the City over eight years, providing a deep understanding of Santa Ana’s unique solid waste rate structures, historical tonnage data, and operational requirements. Most importantly, HF&H was a primary technical participant in the regional negotiations between the OCCMA and the County. Their deep involvement in crafting the WISE Agreement’s phased rate structure and transparency provisions makes them uniquely qualified to translate these regional changes into local rate protections. Lastly, HF&H has a deep understanding of the City’s Hauler Agreement with Republic Services as they were the main consultant in developing the contractual requirements, including the existing rate structure. Santa Ana Ordinance No. NS-3041 authorizes the City to utilize competitively procured contracts from other public agencies. The City of Palm Desert’s Contract No. C48690 with HF&H Consultants was awarded through an open and competitive bidding process and meets the City’s procurement requirements. Recommendations Staff recommends approval of the WISE Agreement and the professional services agreement with HF&H Consultants. Staff further recommends a rate stabilization strategy for FY 26/27 and negotiating an MOU with Republic Services to that effect. Together, these actions provide a coordinated approach to maintaining reliable solid waste disposal services while responsibly managing both the near-term and long-term financial impacts associated with the County’s new landfill disposal rate structure. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action. FISCAL IMPACT Funds are budgeted and available for the HF&H Consultant agreement in the following account for FY 2025-26. Any remaining balances not expended by the end of the fiscal year will be presented to City Council for approval of carryforwards into FY 2026-27. There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with the approval of the WISE Agreement. The estimated $6.8 million of spendable fund balance required to stabilize refuse rates for Santa Ana customers over the 12-month period in FY 2026-27 will be presented to City Council for consideration as a part of the FY 2026-27 budget. This is intended as a one-time use of fund balance to mitigate near-term rate impacts, with staff anticipated to return to City Council at a later date to evaluate future rate adjustments. The Refuse Collection Service fund is projected to end the fiscal year with     City Council 16 – 6 4/21/2026 Waste Infrastructure System Enterprise Agreement with the County of Orange April 21, 2026 Page 7 5 7 0 0 approximately $8.3 million in spendable fund balance.

AGREEMENT THIS WASTE INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEM ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT (“WISE Agreement” or “Agreement” are used interchangeably) is made and dated as of the date indicated on the cover page hereof between the County of Orange, a political subdivision of the State of California (the “County”), and the City of Santa Ana, a charter city and municipal corporation existing under the Constitution and laws of the State of California (the “City”). County and City may hereinafter be referred to singularly as “Party” or collectively as “Parties.”. RECITALS The County owns, manages and operates a Waste Infrastructure System to manage municipal and solid waste generated within the County of Orange or imported from outside the County pursuant to contractual agreements. The Waste Infrastructure System collectively includes active Class III sanitary landfills (“County Landfills”), resource recovery, recycling and organics programs, infrastructure and operations, closed landfills, and regional household hazardous waste collection centers and other waste management related systems as may be deemed necessary by the County. The County is also responsible for the long-term management of twenty (20) closed landfills as required under Applicable Law. County Landfills are used for the management of municipal solid waste pursuant to legislation including but not limited to the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (Division 30 of the California Public Resources Code) (the “Act”) and the Short-lived Climate Pollutants Reduction Act (“SB 1383”). County Landfills are also subject to other State and federal regulations designed to ensure that landfill operations minimize the impacts to public health and safety and the environment. Pursuant to Resolution, the County established the Waste Management Enterprise Fund pursuant to Government Code §25261 to ensure that all costs associated with the operation and management of the Waste Infrastructure System are financed by charges imposed for services provided by the Department and are not funded by tax revenue or the County General Fund. The City, in the exercise of its police power, its powers under the Act, and other Applicable Law, has entered into a franchise or other agreement with or issued permits or licenses to one or more private haulers for the collection, recycling, diversion and disposal of municipal solid waste generated within the City. A significant portion of municipal solid waste generated within the City historically has been and currently is delivered by such hauler or haulers to the County for disposal in the Disposal System. Since 1997, the City and the County have provided for the management of municipal solid waste through Waste Disposal Agreements (“WDAs”), wherein the County agreed to provide disposal capacity for waste generated in the City, and the City agreed to deliver or cause the delivery of waste generated in the City to the Disposal System, as more specifically set forth in, and subject to the terms and conditions of the WDAs. Starting in approximately 2014, the Legislature of the State of California passed several pieces of legislation (“Organics Legislation”) that require significant reductions in the disposal of Organic Waste. The purpose of the Organics Legislation is to mandate organics recycling and curtail the impacts of climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions such as methane. In this regard, the decomposition of organic material in the State’s landfills was identified as a significant source of methane that could be reduced. On April 23, 2019, the Orange County Board of Supervisors passed Resolution 19-031 to respond to the State’s increasing landfill diversion requirements and identified the need for additional organic processing infrastructure in the County and directed the Department to develop additional organics recycling infrastructure to support the region in meeting State organic recycling mandates. The County has developed an Organics Infrastructure that is comprised of organic processing facilities to receive and process Organic Waste to support the State’s Organic Legislation goals, promote local recycling, assist local jurisdictions in meeting their organic diversion requirements and correspondingly conserve capacity in the     City Council 16 – 11 4/21/2026 Disposal System and is offering interested Cities the option of participating in the County provided Organic Processing Services pursuant to a separate Organic Services Agreement (“OSA”) as provided in Appendix 5. In their effort to continue the concepts and purposes outlined in the WDAs and respond to Organics Legislation, the City and the County desire to enter into this Waste Infrastructure System Enterprise Agreement (“WISE Agreement” or “Agreement”), on the terms and conditions set forth herein. The County and City acknowledge that the currently operative WDA shall remain in full force and effect until its expiration or the WISE Agreement Commencement Date, whichever comes first. The City has determined that the execution of this Agreement by the City will serve the public health, safety and welfare of the City by providing disposal rate stability, predictable and reliable long-term disposal service, and the continuation of sound environmental management. The County has determined that the execution by the County of this Agreement will serve the public health, safety and welfare by providing a stable, predictable and reliable supply of municipal solid waste and the resulting service payment revenue to the Waste Infrastructure System, thereby enabling the County to plan, manage, operate and finance improvements to the Waste Infrastructure System on a prudent and sound long term, businesslike basis consistent with its legal and regulatory obligations to the State and Federal government. Official action approving this Agreement and determining it to be in the public interest and authorizing its execution and delivery was duly taken by the County on the County authorization date indicated on the cover page hereof.

Where City Acceptable Waste is processed at a facility which concurrently processes other Acceptable Waste in a manner which produces commingled residue which cannot be traced to a geographic source, generic residues from such facility in Tonnage equal to the residues that would have     City Council 16 – 20 4/21/2026 been produced had City Acceptable Waste only been processed at the facility shall constitute Controllable Waste and be subject to the Waste Disposal Covenant. Any City Acceptable Waste or material derived or segregated therefrom which is held in storage and asserted by the possessor thereof to constitute Recycled City Acceptable Waste awaiting sale or distribution to the secondary materials markets shall constitute Controllable Waste if, when and to the extent that the storage or diversion thereof can be reasonably deemed to constitute an evasion of the Waste Disposal Covenant rather than generally recognized, accepted and prevailing practice in the Southern California materials recovery and recycling industry conducted in accordance with Applicable Law. In order for the owner and/or operator of a transfer station to be entitled to deliver Acceptable Waste from a Participating City to the Waste Infrastructure System for the Contract Rate as provided in Article IV, such owner and/or operator must execute a direct agreement with the County, acknowledging and agreeing to comply with the obligation of the Participating City to cause the delivery of all Controllable Waste to the Waste Infrastructure System pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, the County shall be authorized to implement procedures to determine if Acceptable Waste delivered by the owners or operators of Transfer Stations is entitled to utilize the Waste Infrastructure System for the Contract Rate. Such procedures may include requiring Transfer Stations to certify, under penalty of perjury, the source of any such Acceptable Waste. If necessary, the County may require that, in order to qualify for use of the Waste Infrastructure System for the Contract Rate, Transfer Stations must deliver Controllable Waste in loads containing only Controllable Waste, and not commingled with Acceptable Waste from entities which are not Participating Cities or Participating Independent Haulers. (D) Power to Obligate Waste Disposal and Comply with this Agreement. On or before the Commencement Date, (i) any City franchise, contract, lease, or other agreement which is lawfully in effect relating to or affecting Controllable Waste shall provide, or shall have been amended to provide, that the City shall have the right without material restriction on and after the Commencement Date to direct the delivery of all Controllable Waste to the County Waste Infrastructure System (whether or not such Controllable Waste is delivered to a transfer station as an intermediate step prior to landfill disposal) and otherwise to comply with its obligations under this Agreement with respect to Controllable Waste and Franchise Haulers, and (ii) the City shall designate the Waste Infrastructure System as the disposal location pursuant to such franchise, contract, lease or other agreement. On and after the Commencement Date and throughout the Term of this Agreement the City (a) shall not enter into any franchise, contract, lease, agreement or obligation, issue any permit, license or approval, or adopt any ordinance, resolution or law which is materially inconsistent with the requirements of the Waste Disposal Covenant, and (b) shall maintain non-exclusive or exclusive franchises or other contractual arrangements over any City Acceptable Waste which, as of the Contract Date, is subject to non-exclusive or exclusive franchise or other contractual arrangements. The City agrees that the County shall be a third party beneficiary of the obligation of Franchise Haulers to deliver Controllable Waste to the Waste Infrastructure System, and may directly enforce such obligation through any legal means available. The City shall notify in writing each Franchise Hauler of the County’s third party beneficiary rights. (E) Controllable Waste Flow Enforcement. (1) The City, in cooperation with the Department, shall establish, implement, carry out and enforce a waste flow enforcement program which is sufficient to assure the delivery of all Controllable Waste to the Waste Infrastructure System pursuant to and in accordance with the Waste Disposal Covenant for Controllable Waste disposal at the times and in the manner provided herein. The waste flow enforcement program shall consist of amending City franchises, permits or authorizations with all Franchise Haulers, to the extent required by this Section and to the extent allowed by law, and shall include in addition, to the extent necessary and appropriate in the circumstances to assure compliance with the Waste Disposal Covenant, but shall not be limited to: (i) licensing or permitting Franchise Haulers, upon the condition of compliance with the Waste Disposal Covenant, (ii) providing for and taking appropriate enforcement action under any such franchise, license, or permit, such as but not limited to the suspension, revocation and termination of collection rights and privileges, the imposition of fines or collection of damages, and the exercise of injunctive relief against non-complying Franchise Haulers and (iii) causing any Transfer Station to which Controllable Waste is delivered for processing to deliver certification, under the penalty of perjury, of the amounts of Controllable Waste received and Residue remaining from processing at such Transfer Station. (2) The City acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach of the Waste Disposal Covenant by the City, the City shall pay the County an amount equal to the amount that the City would have been required to pay to the County had the Waste Disposal Covenant not been breached, which shall be calculated by: (1) subtracting the     City Council 16 – 21 4/21/2026 number of tons actually delivered during the month(s) of the breach from the number of tons that were delivered during the same month(s) closest in time when there was no such breach, even if such month(s) closest in time was prior to the Term, and (2) multiplying such amount by the Contract Rate in effect at the time of such breach (or any higher rate with respect to which the County has provided notice pursuant to Section 4.2). In the event that the County terminates the Agreement as a result of such breach, the damages due as a result of such termination shall be equal to the average monthly deliveries by the City for the twelve (12) months prior to the commencement of the breach multiplied by the Contract Rate in effect at the time of such breach (or any higher rate with respect to which the County has provided notice pursuant to Section 4.2), multiplied by the number of months that would have remained in the Term of the Agreement had the termination not occurred. The parties recognize that if the City fails to meet its obligations hereunder, the County will suffer damages and that it is and will be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain and determine the exact amount of such damages. Therefore, the parties agree that the damages specified above represent a reasonable estimate of the amount of such damages, considering all of the circumstances existing on the date hereto, including the relationship of the sums to the range of harm to the County that reasonably could be anticipated and anticipation that proof of actual damages would be costly or inconvenient. In signing this Agreement, each party specifically confirms the accuracy of the statements made above and the fact that each party had ample opportunity to consult with legal counsel and obtain an explanation of this liquidated damage provision at the time that this Agreement was made. (F) Legal Challenges to Franchise System. The City shall use its best efforts to preserve, protect and defend its right to exercise and comply with the Waste Disposal Covenant against any challenge thereto, legal or otherwise (including any lawsuits against the City or the County, whether as plaintiff or defendant), by a Franchise Hauler or any other person, based upon breach of contract, violation of law or any other legal theory. The City shall bear the cost and expense of any such Legal Proceeding or other challenge. In the event any such Legal Proceeding relating to the Waste Disposal Covenant or the City’s exercise thereof establishes in a final determination that such covenant or exercise thereof is void, unlawful or unenforceable, or if any Franchise Hauler fails to deliver Controllable Waste to the Waste Infrastructure System in breach of its franchise with the City on the grounds that a judicial determination made by any court or other Applicable Law has rendered its obligation to deliver Controllable Waste to the Disposal System void, unlawful or unenforceable on any legal grounds, with the result that actual waste deliveries to the Disposal System fall below the Cumulative Tonnage Targets, the County shall be entitled to avail itself of the remedies described in Section 4.2(B) hereof. (G) Franchise Haulers. The City shall compile and provide the Department with the following information concerning all Franchise Haulers: name, address and phone number; identification number; area of collection and transportation; and franchise and permit terms. (H) Waste Information System. The City shall cooperate with the Department in collecting information and otherwise monitoring Franchise Haulers in order to assure compliance with this Agreement, the Act, Organics Legislation, or other Applicable Law. Such information may include information such as, data pertaining to Controllable Waste collected, transported, stored, processed and disposed of, Recycled City Acceptable Waste collected, transported, stored, processed and marketed or disposed of, Controllable Organic Waste collected, stored, processed and marketed or disposed of, Franchise Haulers’ franchise, permit or license terms, collection areas, transportation routes and compliance with Applicable Law; and all other information which may reasonably be required by the Department in connection with this Agreement. The City agrees to include in any revised franchise, contract, license or permit or other authorization granted to Franchise Haulers an obligation of the Franchise Hauler to provide to the County information relating to the Controllable Waste collected by such Franchise Hauler, including origins from which such Controllable Waste was collected (identifying Controllable Organic Waste, Recycled City Acceptable Waste, or as otherwise may be required under this Agreement or under Applicable Law), tonnage by type of load (residential, commercial, roll-off box), customer service levels, tonnage delivered by transfer station or material recovery facility utilized, and other related information. (I) City Actions Affecting County. The City agrees to carry out and fulfill its responsibilities under this Agreement and Applicable Law so as to permit full and timely compliance by the County with its covenants and agreements with the State. In particular, the City agrees not to conduct, authorize or permit any disposal services for Controllable Waste to be provided in competition with the Disposal Services provided by the County hereunder, and not to take or omit to take any action with respect to Controllable Waste, its collection, transportation, transfer, storage, treatment, processing, or disposal that may materially and adversely affect the County’s ability to achieve such timely compliance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City shall not be required to deny any permit or license or refuse to grant any approval while exercising its police powers.     City Council 16 – 22 4/21/2026 (J) No Right of Waste Substitution. Nothing in this Agreement shall authorize or entitle the City to deliver or cause the delivery to the Waste Infrastructure System of Acceptable Waste or Acceptable Organic Waste originating from or generated outside the jurisdiction of the City, nor obligate the County to receive or dispose of any such Acceptable Waste or Acceptable Organic Waste. The City shall not assign in whole or in part its right to deliver or cause to be delivered Controllable Waste or Controllable Organic Waste to the County hereunder, and shall not permit any Acceptable Waste or Acceptable Organic Waste originating from or generated outside the jurisdiction of the City to be substituted for Controllable Waste or Controllable Organic Waste for any purpose hereunder. (K) Annexations and Restructuring. It is the intention of the parties that this Agreement and the obligations and rights of the City hereunder, including particularly the Waste Disposal Covenant and the Contract Rate, shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, extend to any territory annexed by the City (or any territory with respect to which the City assumes solid waste management responsibility from a Sanitary District or other public entity) and shall bind any successor or restructured Governmental Body which shall assume or succeed to the rights of the City under Applicable Law. SECTION 3.2 PROVISION OF WASTE INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES BY THE COUNTY. (A) Service Covenant. Commencing on the Commencement Date, and subject to available Waste Infrastructure System capacity, the County shall provide or cause the provision of the service of receiving and disposing of all Controllable Waste at the Waste Infrastructure System, and, in accordance with subsection 3.3(C) hereof, disposing of Unacceptable Waste inadvertently accepted at the Disposal System. The County, to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law, shall use its best efforts to increase source reduction, materials recovery, recycling, organic processing or other waste diversion in the region as may be required by law or which result in the long-term preservation of landfill disposal capacity and to keep the Waste Infrastructure System open for the receipt of Acceptable Waste for disposal or transfer of Controllable Waste pursuant to this Agreement. The County shall do and perform all acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or desirable in connection with its covenants in this subsection, including without limitation all planning, development, administration, implementation, construction, operation, maintenance, management, financing and contract work related thereto or undertaken in connection therewith. The County shall exercise all reasonable efforts to minimize the costs incurred in complying with the Service Covenant consistent with its responsibilities hereunder and under this Agreement, Applicable Law and prudent solid waste management practice and environmental considerations. (B) Source-Separated Household Hazardous Waste. The County shall maintain, as part of the Waste Infrastructure System, a Source-Separated Household Hazardous Waste Disposal System for the disposal of Source-Separated Household Hazardous Waste. The disposal service provided by such system shall constitute part of the Disposal Services, and shall be available to Participating Cities as part of the Contract Rate. The County may impose additional fees and charges for new services relating to Source-Separated Household Hazardous Waste or with respect to cities which are not parties to an Agreement. The County may provide for the expansion, contraction or modification of the Source-Separated Household Hazardous Waste Disposal System and its services to the extent necessary to ensure the Waste Infrastructure System’s viability. (C) Designated Facilities. County and City will coordinate in determining the primary landfill used for disposal and processing of Controllable Waste. The Department shall immediately advise the City by telephone of any situation, event or circumstance which results in the partial or complete inability of the County to receive Controllable Waste at any particular landfill within the Waste Infrastructure System, its effect on the County’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder, and the County’s best estimate of the probable duration. The Department shall confirm such advice in writing within twenty four (24) hours of the occurrence of any such inability. The County shall use its best efforts to resume normal operation of the landfill used by the City as soon as possible. In the event a situation, event or circumstance results in the partial or complete inability of the County to receive Controllable Waste at any particular landfill within the Waste Infrastructure System the County shall have the right to redirect Controllable Waste to another landfill within the Waste Infrastructure System for the duration of the situation, event or circumstance; provided, however, that in such circumstances the County shall utilize reasonable efforts to first redirect waste which is not Controllable Waste. In no event shall the County be required to accept Controllable Waste if it does not have sufficient permitted disposal capacity within the Waste Infrastructure System. (D) Compliance with Service Covenant Not Excused for any Reason. Commencing on the     City Council 16 – 23 4/21/2026 Commencement Date, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, the obligations of the County to duly observe and comply with the Service Covenant, in accordance with Applicable Law, shall apply continuously and without interruption for the Term of this Agreement. In the event that any Change in Law, situation, event or other Uncontrollable Circumstance impairs or precludes compliance with the Service Covenant by the means or methods then being employed by the County, the County shall use best efforts to implement alternative or substitute means and methods to enable it to satisfy the terms and conditions of the Service Covenant. In the event that a Change in Law precludes the County from complying with such covenants with the means or methods then being employed and from utilizing any alternate or substitute means or methods of compliance, the County shall continuously use all reasonable efforts to effectuate executive, legislative or judicial change in or relief from the applicability of such law so as to enable the County lawfully to resume compliance with such covenants as soon as possible following the Change in Law. County failure to duly observe and comply with the Service Covenant due to its efforts to comply with Applicable Law, shall not constitute a breach under this Agreement, and shall excuse County performance to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Law. If the alternative or substitute means and methods proposed for the County to observe and comply with the Service Covenant are more costly than the previously used means and methods, County shall be entitled to a corresponding Contract Rate increase to cover any associated additional costs pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2 of this Agreement. SECTION 3.3 COUNTY RIGHT TO REFUSE WASTE. (A) Right of Refusal. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the County may refuse delivery of: (1) Hazardous Waste; (2) Controllable Waste delivered at hours other than those provided in Section 3.5 hereof; (3) Waste that does not constitute Acceptable Waste; (4) Acceptable Waste delivered by City but originating from or generated outside the jurisdiction of the City; (5) Controllable Waste consisting primarily of construction and demolition debris or inert material which may cause a particular facility’s daily tonnage limit to be exceeded; (6) Acceptable Waste in excess of permitted limits; and (7) Acceptable Waste that would result in County violating Applicable Law. (B) Identification of Unacceptable Waste. The Department shall have the right (but not the duty or the obligation) to inspect the vehicles of all Franchise Haulers delivering material to the Waste Infrastructure System, and may require that the Franchise Hauler remove any Unacceptable Waste from such vehicle before it is unloaded. If the Department determines that it is impractical to separate Controllable Waste from Unacceptable Waste in any vehicle, or if the Franchise Hauler delivering such waste is unwilling to make such separation, or if any vehicle is carrying waste which may spill or leak, then the Department may reject the entire vehicle, and the City shall forthwith remove or cause the removal of the entire delivery from the Waste Infrastructure System. The Department may take all reasonable measures to prevent waste from being blown or scattered before and during unloading. The City shall cause the Franchise Haulers to observe and comply with Applicable Law, the operating rules and regulations of the Department, and the provisions of this Agreement prohibiting the delivery of Unacceptable Waste to the Waste Infrastructure System. (C) Hazardous Waste and Hazardous Substances. The parties acknowledge that the Waste Infrastructure System has not been designed or permitted to accept Hazardous Waste or Hazardous Substances, and is     City Council 16 – 24 4/21/2026 not intended to be used in any manner or to any extent, for the handling, transportation, storage or disposal of Hazardous Waste, Hazardous Material or Hazardous Substances. Neither the County nor the City shall countenance or knowingly permit the delivery of Hazardous Waste or Hazardous Substances to the Waste Infrastructure System. City shall be responsible for the costs of removal, and any regulatory fines, associated with the knowing delivery of any Hazardous Substances to the Waste Infrastructure System by the City or its Franchise Hauler. (D) Disposal of Unacceptable Waste and Hazardous Waste. If Unacceptable Waste or Hazardous Waste is discovered in a vehicle at any facility within the Waste Infrastructure System, the driver of the vehicle will not be permitted to discharge the load. If a vehicle is observed unloading Unacceptable Waste or Hazardous Waste in the tipping area of a facility within the Waste Infrastructure System Department personnel will use reasonable efforts to assure that such material has been characterized, properly secured and its disposition resolved. The return or reloading onto the delivery vehicle of any Hazardous Waste, Prohibited Medical Waste or other waste requiring handling or transportation shall be conducted in accordance with Applicable Law. Whenever Hazardous Waste is detected at any facility within the Waste Infrastructure System, the Department shall take immediate action in accordance with Applicable Law. SECTION 3.4 UNINCORPORATED AREA ACCEPTABLE WASTE. Commencing on the Commencement Date, the County in accordance with Applicable Law shall provide or cause to be provided the service of disposing of non-recycled Acceptable Waste originating or generated within the Unincorporated Area and, with respect to such material, shall comply with the Waste Disposal Covenant as if the County constituted a City subject to the Waste Disposal Covenant hereunder. Rates charged by the County for the disposal of each class of non-recycled Acceptable Waste generated in the Unincorporated Area shall be the same as the Contract Fee charged for the disposal of each class of Controllable Waste. The County shall use its best efforts to preserve, protect and defend its right to exercise and comply with the Waste Disposal Covenant (with respect to non-recycled Acceptable Waste generated in the Unincorporated Area) against any challenge thereto, legal or otherwise, by a Franchise Hauler or any other person, based upon breach of contract, violation of law or any other legal theory. The County shall bear the cost and expense of any such Legal Proceeding or other challenge (with respect to non-recycled Acceptable Waste generated in the Unincorporated Area). SECTION 3.5 MISCELLANEOUS OPERATIONAL MATTERS. (A) Operating Hours. The County shall keep the Waste Infrastructure System open for the receiving of Acceptable Waste during such regular operating hours as may be established by the Department in the operating rules and regulations applicable to the Waste Infrastructure System. The County reserves the right to modify the operating days and hours to comply with Applicable law or as otherwise may be deemed necessary by the County. (B) Scales and Weighing. The Department shall operate and maintain permanent scales at the Waste Infrastructure System as required by Applicable Law. The Department shall weigh all vehicles delivering waste by or on behalf of the City (whether or not the County accepts such waste) and prepare a daily weight record with regard to such delivery. (C) Service Coordinator. The County and the City each shall designate in writing thirty (30) days prior to the expected Commencement Date a person to transmit instructions, receive information and otherwise coordinate service matters arising pursuant to this Agreement (each a “Service Coordinator”). Either Party may designate a successor or substitute Service Coordinator at any time by notice to the other Party. (D) Review of Records. Each Party may review the other Party’s books and records with respect to matters relevant to the performance by either Party under this Agreement or otherwise related to the operation of the Waste Infrastructure System to the extent allowed under the California Public Records Act (interpreted as if the Parties to this Agreement were natural persons for purposes of the Public Records Act). SECTION 3.6 OTHER USERS OF THE DISPOSAL SYSTEM. (A) On or Before April 30, 2026, the County shall have the right to enter into WISE Agreements with Orange County entities with respect to Acceptable Waste which was originally discarded by the first generator thereof within the geographical limits of the County, including other cities in the County, Special Districts, Sanitary Districts, Franchise Haulers and Independent Haulers. Agreements entered into during this period shall have terms     City Council 16 – 25 4/21/2026 and provisions substantially identical to the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall such agreements have terms and provisions more favorable than the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including but not limited to the Contract Rate and availability of disposal capacity). (B) After April 30, 2026, the County shall have the right to enter into WISE Agreements with Orange County entities, including any city, Special Districts, Sanitary Districts, Franchise Haulers and Independent Haulers, or otherwise accept Acceptable Waste from such parties, but only within the limitations contained in this Section. Any such agreement or waste acceptance agreement must provide that the party delivering waste shall pay a Disposal Rate at least 10% higher than the Contract Rate unless the County determines it is in the best interest of the Waste Infrastructure System to establish a Disposal Rate less than 10% higher than the Contract Rate. In no event shall the Disposal Rate be less than the Contract Rate. In addition, the County shall reserve the right in any such agreement to at any time, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, refuse to receive and dispose of Acceptable Waste from any city, Special District, Sanitary District, Franchise Hauler and Independent Hauler if and to the extent that such receipt and disposal might materially and adversely affect the ability of the County to comply with its obligations to the Participating Cities under the WISE Agreements to which each is a party. (C) Posted Disposal Rate. The Posted Disposal Rate shall at all times be at least 10% higher than the Contract Rate. (D) Self-Haulers. The City and the County acknowledge that Self-Haulers shall be entitled to deliver Self-Hauled Waste to the Waste Infrastructure System, on a non-contract basis, at the Posted Disposal Rate. Such Self-Haulers shall not be entitled to dispose of Acceptable Waste for the Contract Rate. (E) Receipt of Imported Acceptable Waste on a Contract Basis. The County shall have the right to enter into Importation Agreement(s) with any public or private entity for the delivery of Imported Acceptable Waste on terms and conditions that the County determines to be necessary to ensure and enhance the viability of the Waste Infrastructure System and to generate Net Import Revenues. In no event shall such Importation Agreements, entered into after the Commencement Date, include a per ton tipping fee or Disposal Rate for Imported Acceptable Waste that is less than the Contract Rate. The County certifies that in its good faith judgment the contract or other agreement for the delivery of such waste will not materially and adversely affect the ability of the County to receive and dispose of Acceptable Waste from the Participating Cities in accordance with the applicable WISE Agreements throughout the Term thereof; and, should the delivery of waste subject to Importation Agreements adversely affect the County’s ability to receive and dispose of Controllable Waste from Participating Cities the County will prioritize receipt and disposal of Controllable Waste delivered pursuant to applicable WISE Agreements. (F) Application and Use of Revenues From Other Users. (1) County Acceptable Waste: Throughout the Term hereof, all revenues received by the County from the disposal or processing of County Acceptable Waste into the Waste Infrastructure System (including Surcharges, and any and all fine, penalty, liquidated damages or other damages, grants, awards or revenue received by the County in connection with the Waste Infrastructure System), shall be deposited by the County in the County OC Waste & Recycling Enterprise Fund and shall constitute revenues of the Waste Infrastructure System. (2) Imported Acceptable Waste: Throughout the Term hereof, all revenues received by the County, pursuant to an Importation Agreement, for the disposal or processing of Imported Acceptable Waste into the Waste Infrastructure System (including Surcharges, and any and all fine, penalty, liquidated damages or other damages or revenue received by the County in connection with the Waste Infrastructure System), shall first be applied toward all of the costs attributable to the acceptance and management of such Imported Acceptable Waste into the Waste Infrastructure System. Costs attributable to the disposal of Imported Acceptable Waste include, but are not limited to, deposits to the Environmental Fund, deposits to closure and post-closure reserves, Host Fees (if applicable), incremental operating costs (such as manpower expenditures, equipment, services and supplies expenditures), State surcharges, regulatory fees, charges or penalties, and a pro rata share of capital project costs. Revenue remaining after costs attributable to the disposal and management of Imported Acceptable Waste shall be considered “Net Import Revenues” and shall be calculated and distributed as follows: (i) Calculation: Net Import Revenues are estimated to be 30% of the revenues received     City Council 16 – 26 4/21/2026 by the County from the disposal of Imported Acceptable Waste (excluding any newly established per-ton fees or increases to existing per-ton fees with respect to Imported Acceptable Waste payable to the State, other regulatory agencies or cities in which facilities in the Waste Infrastructure System are located.) (ii) Distribution: Net Import Revenues shall be distributed as follows; a. 50% of any Net Import Revenues shall be paid to the County General Fund. b. 50% of such Net Import Revenues shall be paid to the Participating Cities (and to the County, with respect to the unincorporated area) listed in Appendix 1 for use for any purpose by the Participating City, including but not limited to State mandated solid waste programs. Payments of such amount to the County General Fund and the Participating Cities shall be made by the County within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year. The portion of Net Import Revenues specified above payable to the Participating Cities shall be apportioned in the percentages set forth in Appendix 1. c. The percentages set forth in Appendix 1 with respect to each Participating City shall be annually reviewed and adjusted every five (5) years by the County to reflect the percentage of deliveries of Acceptable Waste from each Participating City averaged over the last five (5) years. The County shall notify Participating Cities of the revised percentages in Appendix 1 within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the end of each fiscal year. SECTION 3.7 COUNTY PROVISION OF WASTE DIVERSION SERVICES. (A) County-Wide Recycling and Diversion Services. Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, County is not required to provide for any source reduction, materials recovery, recycling, organic processing or other waste diversion services under this Agreement. However, County may choose to provide County- Wide Recycling Services funded through the County OC Waste & Recycling Enterprise Fund at its sole discretion on the condition that provision of said services shall be funded in a manner that does not impact the Contract Rate without first going through the process outlined in Section 4.2 and expressly agreed to by 50% of Participating Cities. (B) Organic Processing and Diversion Services. The County has developed Organics Infrastructure and programs available to interested Cities intended to assist Cities in meeting their diversion and Organic Legislative Recycled Organic Waste Procurement goals and to promote the processing and diversion of Organic Waste into compost or other material that qualifies as diversion under Applicable Law. Cities interested in receiving County provided Organic Processing Services may enter into the separate Organic Services Agreement (“OSA”) provided in Appendix 5 of this Agreement. (C) Food Waste Processing and Diversion. County is in the process of evaluating the options and feasibility of development of a Commercial Food Waste Processing Infrastructure. If developed, Cities will be provided an opportunity to participate in this service on terms which shall be separately agreed upon by the Parties. (D) Edible Food Recovery Programs. County is in the process of evaluating the options and feasibility of development of regional County-wide edible food recovery programs to assist Cities in meeting State mandated goals. The intent of Edible Food Recovery to address the food hierarchy and wasted food scale on a regional level through collaboration of all jurisdictions, key local, State and federal stakeholders, the non-profit sector and business sector. City agrees to reasonably cooperate with County efforts and collaborate on data analysis and reporting to provide jurisdictions reports for compliance under SB 1383. If developed, Cities will be provided an opportunity to participate in this service on terms which shall be separately agreed upon by the Parties. (E) Recycling Market Development Zone (“RMDZ”) Program. The RMDZ program, administered by the California Department of Resource Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), combines recycling with economic development to support business that use materials from the waste stream to manufacture their products. The program offers loans, technical assistance and product marketing to eligible businesses located within designates zones. City agrees to reasonably cooperate and collaborate with County in support of the RMDZ program.     City Council 16 – 27 4/21/2026 (F) Separate City-County Diversion Service Agreements. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit the right of the County to enter into a separate agreement with the City or any other person to provide source reduction, materials recovery, recycling, composting or other waste diversion services. Any such program conducted by the County, whether in participation with the City, any other of the Participating Cities, other Cities, Special Districts, Sanitary Districts, Franchise Haulers, Independent Haulers, Unincorporated Area or non-County entity, shall be operated, managed and accounted for as a program separate and distinct from the Disposal Services program contemplated by the WISE Agreements and shall not be funded through the general revenues of the Disposal System. ARTICLE IV CONTRACT RATE SECTION 4.1 CHARGING AND SECURING PAYMENT OF CONTRACT RATE. The City acknowledges that the County shall have the right to charge and collect a Contract Rate for the acceptance, disposal, and processing of Controllable Waste delivered to the Waste Infrastructure System by City or its Franchise Hauler. The Contract Rate shall be calculated and established, and may be modified, as provided in Section 4.2 hereof. In addition, the City acknowledges that the County shall have the right to establish as part of the operating rules and regulations reasonable measures to secure the payment of all Contract Rates. SECTION 4.2 CONTRACT RATE. (A) Establishment of Contract Rate. The Contract Rate payable by each City or Franchise Hauler shall be a three (3) year progressive Contract Rate of $67/ton (July 1 2026 through June 30, 2027), $74/ton (July 1, 2027 through June 30, 2028), and $81/ton (July 1, 2028 through June 30, 2029) and contingent on the delivery to the Waste Infrastructure System of an amount of City Acceptable Waste at least equal to the Cumulative Tonnage Targets identified in Appendix 2, and subject to adjustment necessary to reflect the circumstances set forth in this Section 4.2 including but not limited to: (i) increased costs incurred by the County (in excess of available insurance proceeds) due to the occurrence of one or more Uncontrollable Circumstances, other than Changes in Law; (ii) costs incurred by the County (in excess of available insurance proceeds and amounts available in the Environmental Fund for such purposes) remediating environmental conditions at the Disposal System or inactive or closed disposal sites in the County, which, if uncorrected, could give rise to potential claims under CERCLA or related federal or State statutes, including costs incurred providing indemnification to any Participating City pursuant to subsection 7.3; (iii) tonnage shortfalls to the extent permitted by Sections 4.2(B); (iv) County determination that the Department revenue is insufficient to meet Full Cost Recovery requirements. (v) increased costs incurred by the County due to the occurrence of one or more Changes in Law; (vi) Capital Costs in excess of the Capital Costs at any point in time during the term hereof exceeding the Cumulative Capital Costs set forth in Appendix 3; (vii) Provision of new or expanded services, provided on terms as agreed to by the Parties. Prior to adjusting the Contract Rate as a result of any of the circumstances described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) (iv) or (vi) above, the County shall utilize the following remedies in the following order of priority: (1) reduce the costs of operating the Disposal System to the extent practicable; and     City Council 16 – 28 4/21/2026 (2) at the sole discretion of the County, utilize Unrestricted Reserves to pay costs of the Waste Infrastructure System. The County will not be required to utilize such remedies prior to adjusting the Contract Rate as a result of any of the circumstances described in clauses (v) or (vii) above. Any adjustments to the Contract Rate permitted by this Section shall be calculated by the County to reflect the actual costs or expenses of addressing the circumstance or circumstances pursuant to which the adjustment is authorized. The County agrees that, where appropriate, it will evaluate the feasibility of long-term financing for significant capital costs. Notwithstanding the forgoing, no adjustment to the Contract Rate shall occur as a result of costs associated with the programs identified in Section 3.7, without first going through the process outlined in Section 4.2 and expressly agreed to by 50% of Participating Cities. (B) County Acceptable Waste Shortfall. In the event that the actual amount of County Acceptable Waste delivered to the Disposal System at the end of any Contract Year is less than the Cumulative Tonnage Target for such Contract Year for County Acceptable Waste, as specified in Appendix 2, the County shall utilize the following options, in the following order of priority, in order to remedy any adverse effects of such tonnage shortfall: (i) reduce the costs of operating the Waste Infrastructure System to the extent practicable; (ii) at the sole discretion of County, utilize Restricted Reserves described in clause (iii) of Section 4.5 to pay costs of the Waste Infrastructure System; (iii) at the sole discretion of County, utilize Unrestricted Reserves to pay costs of the Waste Infrastructure System; and (iv) adjust the Contract Rate. In the event that implementation of the steps described above does not result in sufficient revenues to satisfactorily address the shortfall in tonnage, the County shall have the right to terminate the Agreement on one-hundred eighty (180) days written notice to the City. In addition, in the event that Waste Infrastructure expenses are lower than estimated or actual deliveries to the Disposal System exceed the Cumulative Tonnage Target as of the end of any Contract Year, the City acknowledges the County shall have the right to establish reserves intended to reflect the potential for lower than expected annual waste deliveries in subsequent years, and that any such reserves shall constitute “Restricted Reserves”. (C) [RESERVED] (D) Interim Use of Remedies. In the event that, during any Contract Year, waste deliveries to the Disposal System are 25% or more below delivery projections for such Contract Year with the result that the County determines it is unlikely that the Cumulative Tonnage Target will be achieved as of the end of such Contract Year, the County may utilize the remedies described in Section 4.2(B) prior to the end of such Contract Year; provided, however, that if at the end of such Contract Year, the Cumulative Tonnage Target is actually met, the County shall reimburse any adjustments to the Contract Rate made pursuant to this Section to Participating Cities. Such reimbursement shall occur in a manner as agreed between the parties, and may be given as a credit or adjustment to the Contract Rate for future deliveries, rather than a lump sum payment. (E) Special Charges. Notwithstanding Section 4.2(A), the County shall have the right to establish special charges for the provision of new or expanded services or the receipt of hard to handle materials, such as bulky materials, construction and demolition debris, tree stumps and sludge. Should the County wish to provide new or expanded services to Cities, it may charge for such services upon agreement of City. Special charges shall be calculated to reflect the reasonable incremental costs to the County of providing the new or expanded services or accepting such hard to handle materials. Adjustments pursuant to this Section 4.2(E) shall not require compliance with the provisions of Section 4.2(I) (F) Annual CPI Escalation. Subject to the application of the Contract Rate True-up (provided     City Council 16 – 29 4/21/2026 [ below), the Contract Rate shall be adjusted each July 1, beginning 2029, in an amount equal to the percentage change in the CPI (as defined above) as measured from the October twenty one (21) months prior to the rate adjustment to the October immediately preceding the rate adjustment (the “Annual CPI Adjustment”). For example: The July 1, 2029 Annual CPI Adjustment to the Contract Rate shall be based upon the change in CPI from October 2027, to October 2028, referred to as year 1 and year 2 respectively in the following example. Formula to calculate percentage change in the Contract Rate based on Annual CPI Adjustment : Step 1: October Year 2 CPI - 1 = % increase in Contract Rate October Year 1 CPI Step 2: Current Contract Rate x (1+ % increase in Contract Rate) = Contract Rate as of July 1 Year 2 On each April 1, commencing April 1, 2029, the County shall provide the City with notice of the Annual CPI Adjustment to the Contract Rate to be effective the following July 1. Such notice shall contain the calculation of the adjustment set forth above. The County shall calculate the new Contract Rate each year. In the event that the change in CPI as described above is negative rather than positive, no rate adjustment will be made for that year. No adjustment under this Section 4.2(F) will take place until the October CPI index surpasses the index level as of the October immediately preceding the last annual rate adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.1(F), which will be considered “year 1” in calculating the change in the Contract Rate. For example, if the change in CPI is measured as follows: October 2027 = 205, October 2028 = 204, October 2029 = 201, October 2030 = 208, then there would be no adjustment in July 2029, or July 2030, and an adjustment equal to the change from 205 to 208 would be implemented on July 1, 2031. Contract Rate True-up: On an annual basis, no later than each April 30, beginning April 30, 2030, the County shall conduct an annual review of factors pertaining to the most recently completed fiscal year(s) including but not limited to, tonnage received throughout the Waste Infrastructure System, Cumulative Tonnage Targets identified in Appendix 2, revenue received from all sources, Department expenditures, and other factors that make up Department’s total costs. County shall notify City prior to April 30, 2030 (and every April 30 thereafter) and advise whether the Annual CPI Adjustment to the Contract Rate should be frozen for a period of time (in circumstances where Department revenues exceed Department Full Cost Recovery needs) or to determine whether the Contract Rate should be increased beyond the Annual CPI Adjustment as defined above (in circumstances where Department costs exceed CPI) to ensure that Department revenues meet Full Cost Recovery. Within thirty (30) days of finalizing each annual review, the County shall transmit its findings and the bases thereof to Participating Cities at the next regularly scheduled OCCMA meeting or other forum mutually agreed to by the County and OCCMA. If requested by the City or OCCMA, the County shall reasonably respond to requests from the City and/or OCCMA for additional information including, but not limited to, requests to meet and discuss reviews, findings, and bases of findings. At the request of 50% of Participating Cities, County agrees to meet and confer in good faith with OCCMA, within sixty (60) days to discuss retention of a consultant acceptable to both the County and OCCMA to conduct an independent review of the County’s annual review findings. Nothing in this section shall be interpreted as limiting the County’s rights under Section 4.2(A). (G) Adjustment Resulting from Increased Fees. In addition to the other adjustments specified herein, the Contract Rate shall be adjusted to reflect the imposition of new fees or increase in existing fees relating to the disposal of Controllable Waste imposed by State, federal or other agencies (e.g., the State’s Integrated Waste Management fee, which is currently $1.40 per ton, but is expected in increase during the term of this Agreement). The adjustment shall be equal to the amount of any new or increased fee, and the adjustment shall take effect so as to coincide with the imposition of the new or increased fee. The County shall provide notice of any increase pursuant to this Section 4.2(G) as soon as practicable after becoming aware of the imposition of any fees described above. Adjustments pursuant to this Section 4.2(G) shall not require compliance with the provisions of Section 4.2(I). (H) [RESERVED]     City Council 16 – 30 4/21/2026 (I) Procedure for Rate Adjustments. In the event the County determines that it is entitled to an adjustment of the Contract Rate pursuant to Section 4.2(A) (other than 4.2(A)(iv)) or Section 4.2(B), it shall utilize the procedures described in this Section 4.2(I). The County shall be required to provide the City with at least ninety (90) days prior written notice of the adjustment, which notice shall identify the specific event(s) or circumstances which require the adjustment. The notice shall also specify the earliest date on which the County Board of Supervisors shall consider the proposed adjustment. At least forty five (45) days prior to such meeting of the Board of Supervisors, the County shall provide the City with a report which shall contain the following information: a description of the specific event(s) or circumstances which require the adjustment; a description (including cost estimates) of any activities (which may include, but not be limited to capital improvements to the Waste Infrastructure System) required in order to remedy such event or circumstance; certification by the County that it has implemented the remedies described in Section 4.2(A) or (B) prior to requiring the rate adjustment; and a description of the methodology used by the County to calculate the adjustment to the Contract Rate (hereinafter the “County Report”). In the event the City disputes the adjustment, it shall provide the County with a written description of the reason for the dispute at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting of the Board of Supervisors identified in the initial notice of the County (hereinafter the “City Report”). The City Report shall be provided to the Board of Supervisors for consideration at such meeting in connection with the proposed rate adjustment. At any time from and after the date that the County provides the City with the County Report, upon the request of either party, the City and County shall meet and confer in good faith to resolve any dispute that may arise regarding the proposed adjustment to the Contract Rate. In any such meeting, the County shall be represented by the Director of the Department or his or her designee. In the event the Board of Supervisors approves all or a portion of the proposed rate adjustment, such rate adjustment shall become effective on the date identified in the initial notice sent by the County regardless of whether or not the procedures in Section 4.2(J) are utilized, but subject to potential reimbursement pursuant to clause (11) of Section 4.2(J). (J) Procedure for Expedited Judicial Review of Contested Rate Adjustment. In the event that, within thirty (30) days after the effective date of any Contract Rate adjustment made pursuant to Section 4.2(I), Participating Cities which, in the aggregate, accounted for more than 50% of the County Acceptable Waste delivered to the County System in the twelve (12) months preceding the Contract Rate adjustment, provide notice to the County of their election to utilize the procedures described in this Section 4.2(J), then the provisions of this Section 4.2(J) shall be utilized by such Participating Cities and the County to resolve the dispute over the Contract Rate Adjustment. In the event that Participating Cities which have delivered the amount of waste contemplated in the preceding sentence do not provide notice to the County of such election, the County shall have no obligation to participate in or cooperate in the implementation of the procedures described below in this Section 4.2(J). (1) In order to pursue the expedited judicial determination described in this Section (the “Expedited Rate Determination”), the Participating Cities which have made the election described in the paragraph above (the “Challenging Cities”) must commence a civil action for breach of contract (the “Action”) in the Orange County Superior Court within forty five (45) days of the date on which the Board of Supervisors approves the challenged adjustment to the Contract Rate. (2) Within two (2) Court days of filing the Action, the Challenging Cities shall personally serve on the County Counsel, with copy provided to the Clerk of the Board both the summons and complaint, and a stipulation and request for the entering of an order incorporating all of the procedural provisions relating to the Expedited Rate Determination as set forth in this Section 4.2(J) (such stipulation and request for order is hereinafter referred to as the “Expedited Rate Determination Stipulation”). The Expedited Rate Determination Stipulation shall be signed by each of the Challenging Cities, or on behalf of them by their legal counsel. (3) Within fifteen (15) days of the date of service upon the County of the summons and complaint, and Expedited Rate Determination Stipulation, County Counsel shall execute the Expedited Rate Determination Stipulation and deliver it as well as the County’s answer to the complaint in the Action, by electronic means, to the Challenging Cities through their counsel of record. The Stipulation shall also include a waiver by each of the parties of their right to a jury trial of the issues raised in the Action. The Parties agree that the duty to execute the Expedited Rate Determination Stipulation and comply with the procedures set forth for Expedited Rate Determination in this Section 4.2(J) shall be, and are hereby deemed to be, ministerial duties which the law specifically enjoins upon each of them, and shall be subject to enforcement by the parties herein pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1085, et seq., or by means of a complaint for specific performance. (4) Within three (3) days of the date of service by the County upon the Challenging Cities of the fully signed Expedited Rate Determination Stipulation, the County and the Challenging Cities shall jointly     City Council 16 – 31 4/21/2026 make ex parte application to the Orange County Superior Court in the Action for the issuance of an order reflecting the procedural requirements and timelines contained in the Expedited Rate Determination Stipulation, provided however, the timelines may be adjusted by the Court as it deems may be needed for its convenience. As part of such ex parte application, the County and the Challenging Cities shall expressly seek to confirm with the Orange County Superior Court the briefing schedule, and request a hearing date (effectively a trial date) in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.2(J). (5) Within ten (10) days of the date of service by the County upon the Challenging Cities of the answer in the Expedited Rate Determination, the Challenging Cities shall file with the Court and electronically serve upon County Counsel the Challenging Cities’ opening brief and the Record in the Expedited Rate Determination. The opening brief shall not exceed 15 pages in length. The Record shall consist of, and be limited to, the record of the proceedings before the Board of Supervisors with respect to the adjustment of the Contract Rate, including but not limited to the County Report and the City Report prepared by each or any of the Challenging Cities pursuant to Section 4.2(I), any materials filed or lodged with the Board of Supervisors and the Orange County Waste Management Commission in connection with its decision, the transcript of the proceedings of the Board of Supervisors meeting(s), and the Orange County Waste Management Commission, the minutes of the Board of Supervisors and the Orange County Waste Management Commission meeting, and the resolution and/or other documentation evidencing the action by the Board of Supervisors and the Orange County Waste Commission to adjust the Contract Rate pursuant to Section 4.2(A) or (B). The record shall also include the most recent reports prepared pursuant to Sections 4.6 and 4.7. The Expedited Rate Determination shall be decided solely on the evidence in the Record, and no extrinsic evidence shall be submitted to or considered by the Court. (6) Within ten (10) days of service by the Challenging Cities of their opening brief and the Record, the County shall file and electronically serve upon the Challenging Cities’ Counsel the County’s opposition brief. The opposition brief shall not exceed 15 pages in length. (7) Within five (5) days of service by the County upon the Challenging Cities of the opposition brief, the Challenging Cities may file and electronically serve upon County Counsel a reply rebuttal brief, which shall not exceed 10 pages in length. (8) The trial of the Expedited Rate Determination shall be conducted as a law and motion hearing, similar to a hearing on a writ, which shall be conducted at the date set by the Court in connection with the ex parte application conducted pursuant to Section 4.2(J)(4), or such other date and time ordered by the Court. If the Court requests the parties to prepare supplemental briefs in response to any question or issue raised by the Court, the parties may do so. (9) The standard of review for the Expedited Rate Determination shall be the preponderance of the evidence based upon the Record. The burden of proof shall be borne by the Challenging Cities, and the burden of proof shall be the same as with respect to a plaintiff in a damages action for breach of contract. Both parties have participated in the drafting of this Agreement. Accordingly, nothing set forth in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed for or against either of the parties as a consequence of their participation in the drafting of this Agreement. (10) The Court shall be advised that the Parties request that it issue a written statement of decision and enter judgment within thirty (30) days of the date of the hearing in the Expedited Rate Determination, although the Parties recognize that the Court has discretion to act as it deems appropriate in accord with applicable laws in connection with the timing thereof. (11) If the Court determines that any portion of the County’s adjusted Contract Rate which is the subject of the Expedited Rate Determination was improperly imposed, the County shall, within thirty (30) days of the date of the statement of decision, reimburse to the City the amount improperly imposed, together with interest calculated at the Overdue Rate. If agreed by the Parties, as an alternative such reimbursement may be made in the form of a reduction in the Contract Rate for a future period (not to exceed twelve (12) months), applied in a manner such that it provides full reimbursement of the amounts described above (including the Overdue Rate, to be applied consistent with provisions of Section 7.14 hereof.) (12) In the event that the Court does not sign the order contained in the Expedited Rate Determination Stipulation and set the matter for disposition as contemplated herein, the County and the Challenging     City Council 16 – 32 4/21/2026 Cities shall, within twenty (20) days following the issuance of the Court’s order or decision not to do so and thereby honor the parties’ stipulation, make application to the Orange County Superior Court for an expedited hearing or trial date. The Challenging Cities and the County shall be bound by all of the requirements and restrictions set forth in Section 4.2(J) that are not in conflict with this paragraph (12). In this regard, and without limiting the foregoing, the only evidence to be presented at the hearing or trial shall be the Record, no testimony shall be presented at the hearing or trial; and both the County and the Challenging Cities waive all rights to a jury trial, to any reconsideration of the decision of the Court, to a new trial after the Court renders a decision, and to any appeal or review of the decision of the Court. SECTION 4.3 RESPONSIBILITY FOR PAYMENT OF THE CONTRACT RATE, AND OTHER AMOUNTS DUE. (A) Payment by City. In the event and to the extent (1) the City uses municipal collection forces directly for the haulage of Controllable Waste to the Waste Infrastructure System or (2) the City uses non-municipal Franchise Haulers for collection but nonetheless elects to pay the Contract Rate and other amounts due from City revenues, the City, as its own Franchise Hauler, shall have direct responsibility for payment of the Contract Rate and other amounts due, and shall take all such budgetary, appropriation and other action as may be necessary to provide for the timely payment of the Contract Rate and other amounts due. Such action may include, depending upon the means authorized by the City to provide for such payment, the levy and collection of general or special taxes, the imposition of benefit assessments, or the collection of user fees, generator charges or other similar impositions for municipal solid waste disposal. The City shall use best efforts in accordance with Applicable Law to levy and impose all such taxes, assessments, fees or charges, and will take all steps, actions and proceedings for the enforcement, collection and payment of all such amounts which shall become delinquent, to the full extent permitted by Applicable Law. (B) Payment by Franchise Haulers. With respect to Controllable Waste delivered by Franchise Haulers on behalf of City other than City municipal collection forces, the obligation to pay the Contract Rate and other amounts due shall rest with such Franchise Haulers. Franchise Hauler shall pay the Contract Rate or other amounts due or any portion thereof when due. In the event of any such failure by Hauler, the County and the City shall cooperate with each other and use their best efforts to obtain timely payment from Franchise Hauler. Such efforts by the County may include, as appropriate, requiring cash payments for disposal rights from such Franchise Hauler and bringing a legal proceeding for payment and damages. Such efforts by the City may include, as appropriate, legal proceedings to suspend, revoke or terminate the Franchise Hauler’s franchise, permit or license rights. (C) Disputes. If the City or the Franchise Hauler disputes any amo unt billed by the County in any Billing Statement, the City or the Franchise Hauler shall nonetheless pay the billed amount and shall provide the County with written objection within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such Billing Statement indicating the amount that is being disputed and providing all reasons then known to the City or the Franchise Hauler for any objection to or disagreement with such amount. If the City or the Franchise Hauler and the County are not able to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days after the City’s or the Franchise Hauler’s objection, either party may pursue appropriate legal remedies. SECTION 4.4 BILLING OF THE CONTRACT RATE OR OTHER AMOUNTS DUE. The County shall continue to bill Contract Rates and other amounts due after the Commencement Date, in the same manner as it has customarily billed tipping fees. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the County shall have the right to modify or amend such manner of billing on reasonable notice to affected parties. SECTION 4.5 RESTRICTED RESERVES. For purposes of this Agreement, “Restricted Reserves” means cash and other reserves of the Waste Infrastructure System which are restricted to specific uses or are otherwise being reserved by the County to meet its obligations hereunder throughout the term of the Agreement with respect to the Waste Infrastructure System pursuant to any Applicable Law, contract, adopted budget, budgetary policy of the County with respect to the Waste Infrastructure System, or other arrangement. Such cash and other reserves are not required to be deposited in separate accounts or funds in order to constitute “Restricted Reserves” hereunder, and may be commingled with Unrestricted Reserves or other funds of the County attributable to the Waste Infrastructure System. “Restricted Reserves” shall include, but not be limited to, the following: (i) reserves for closure of components of the Waste Infrastructure System to the extent required by Applicable Law;     City Council 16 – 33 4/21/2026 (ii) amounts reserved by the County for funding of post closure maintenance and monitoring with respect to components of the Waste Infrastructure System; (iii) reserves established to protect the Waste Infrastructure System against the adverse financial impact of potential decreases in waste deliveries pursuant to Section 4.2(B); (iv) amounts reserved to pay the costs of capital improvements with respect to the Waste Infrastructure System; (v) amounts funded from revenues during the early years of the term of the Agreement reserved to enable the County to provide disposal services for the Contract Rate during the later years of the Agreement; (vi) amounts temporarily held by the County prior to payment to the State or other Governmental Bodies pursuant to Applicable Law (including any fees or charges payable to CalRecycle); (vii) reserves required to meet bond covenants pursuant to financing agreements for Waste Infrastructure System assets to the extent such amounts must be legally separate and distinct from other reserves identified in this Section; (viii) security deposits from landfill deferred payment program users; (ix) amounts held by the County in the Environmental Fund (provided, however, that such amounts in the Environmental Fund will be made available and used by the County if required to pay costs relating to environmental remediation or other related costs); (x) AB 939 surcharges; (xi) amounts held by the County in the Corrective Action Fund held pursuant to CCR Title 27 to demonstrate financial assurance to pay for potential groundwater contamination; and (xii) an amount equal to three (3) months of budgeted expenses for the Disposal System for the current fiscal year, representing working capital of the Disposal System. SECTION 4.6 AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The County shall annually, on or before January 1 each year, prepare or cause to be prepared and have on file for inspection an annual report for the preceding Contract Year, accompanied by a certificate of an independent public accountant or of the County Auditor and Controller as to the examination of the financial statements therein (describing such statements as fairly presenting the information therein in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles) relating to the Waste Infrastructure System, services, and the fiscal activities of the OC Waste Disposal Enterprise Fund, and including statements in reasonable detail of the financial condition of the OC Waste Disposal Enterprise Fund as of the end of the Contract Year and revenue and expenses for the Contract Year. SECTION 4.7 ANNUAL UPDATE OF TEN-YEAR FINANCIAL PROJECTION. The County shall annually, on or before May 1 of each year, prepare or cause to be prepared, an updated Ten-Year Financial Projection for the Waste Infrastructure System. Said Financial Projection shall include at least two full years of prior actual data and ten years of future projections including the following elements: 1. County Acceptable Waste, in tons; 2. Imported Acceptable Waste, in tons; 3. Revenues and expenditures; 4. Cash fund balances, including all monies in the County Solid Waste Enterprise Fund, with specific delineation of monies in the Environmental Fund, Restricted Reserves, Unrestricted Reserves, and all other funds of the System; and 5. Projected liabilities for closure and post closure as well as reasonable reserves for     City Council 16 – 34 4/21/2026 other environmental costs. The purpose of the Ten-Year Financial Projection is to keep the City fully informed about the future financial condition of the Waste Infrastructure System. The County shall cause a copy of the Ten-Year Financial Projection to be delivered to the City Manager/General Manager of the City no later than May 1 of each year. Upon request, the County shall make available to the Cities supporting information related to the ten-year financial projection Within thirty (30) calendar days of finalizing each annual update of the Ten-Year Projection, County shall transmit the Ten-Year Projection via email to the City and OCCMA. If requested by the City or OCCMA, the County shall reasonably respond to requests from the City and/or OCCMA for additional information including, but not limited to, requests to meet and discuss the updated Ten-Year Projections at the next regularly scheduled OCCMA meeting or other forum mutually agreed to by the County and OCCMA. ARTICLE V BREACH, ENFORCEMENT AND TERMINATION SECTION 5.1 BREACH. The Parties agree that in the event either Party breaches any obligation under this Agreement or any representation made by either Party hereunder is untrue in any material respect, the other Party shall have the right to take any action at law or in equity (including actions for injunctive relief, mandamus and specific performance) it may have to enforce the payment of any amounts due or the performance of any obligations to be performed hereunder. Neither Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement except as provided in Section 5.2 and Section 5.3 hereof or as otherwise provided in this Agreement. SECTION 5.2 CITY CONVENIENCE TERMINATION. The City shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion, for its convenience and without cause at any time during the Term hereof upon ninety (90) days’ written notice to the County. If the City exercises its rights to terminate the Agreement pursuant to this Section, the City shall pay the County a termination fee equal to the Contract Rate in effect at the time of such termination (or any higher rate with respect to which the County has provided notice pursuant to Section 4.2) multiplied by the number of tons of City Acceptable Waste delivered to the Disposal System during the preceding twelve (12) months (or, if the City had been in breach of the Waste Disposal Covenant during such prior months, such amount as would have been delivered if the City had complied with the Waste Disposal Covenant), multiplied by the number of years remaining in the Term of the Agreement. SECTION 5.3 TERMINATION. (A) By City. Except as expressly provided herein, the City shall have no right to terminate this Agreement for cause except in the event of the failure or refusal by the County substantially to perform any material obligation under this Agreement unless such failure or refusal is excused by an Uncontrollable Circumstance; except that no such failure or refusal shall give the City the right to terminate this Agreement for cause under this subsection unless: (1) The City has given prior written notice to the County stating that a specified failure or refusal to perform exists which will, unless corrected, constitute a material breach of this Agreement on the part of the County and which will, in its opinion, give the City the right to terminate this Agreement for cause under this subsection unless such breach is corrected within a reasonable period of time, and (2) The County has neither challenged in an appropriate forum (in accordance with Section 5.5) the City’s conclusion that such failure or refusal to perform has occurred or constitutes a material breach of this Agreement nor corrected or diligently taken steps to correct such breach within a reasonable period of time not more than ninety (90) days from the date of the notice given pursuant to clause (1) of this subsection (but if the County shall have diligently taken steps to correct such breach within such reasonable period of time, the same shall not constitute a breach giving rise to the right of termination for as long as the County is continuing to take such steps to correct such breach). (B) By County. Except as expressly provided herein, the County shall have no right to terminate this Agreement for cause except in the event of the failure or refusal by the City or its Franchise Hauler to substantially perform any material obligation under this Agreement unless such failure or refusal is excused by an Uncontrollable Circumstance; except that no such failure or refusal shall give the County the right to terminate this Agreement for     City Council 16 – 35 4/21/2026 cause under this subsection unless: (1) The County has given prior written notice to the City stating that a specified failure or refusal to perform exists which will, unless corrected, constitute a material breach of this Agreement on the part of the City and which will, in its opinion, give the County right to terminate this Agreement for cause under this subsection unless such breach is corrected within a reasonable period of time, and (2) The City has neither challenged in an appropriate forum (in accordance with Section 5.5) the County’s conclusion that such failure or refusal to perform has occurred or constitutes a material breach of this Agreement nor corrected or diligently taken steps to correct such breach within a reasonable period of time not more than ninety (90) days from the date of the notice given pursuant to clause (1) of this subsection (but if the City shall have diligently taken steps to correct such breach within such reasonable period of time, the same shall not constitute a breach giving rise to the right of termination for as long as the City is continuing to take such steps to correct such breach). SECTION 5.4 NO WAIVERS. No action of the County or the City pursuant to this Agreement (including, but not limited to, any investigation or payment), and no failure to act, shall constitute a waiver by either Party of the other Party’s compliance with any term or provision of this Agreement. No course of dealing or delay by the County or the City in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such Party’s rights, powers and remedies. No single or partial exercise of (or failure to exercise) any right, power or remedy of the County or the City under this Agreement shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof of the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. ARTICLE VI TERM SECTION 6.1 EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM. (A) Initial Term. This Agreement shall become effective, shall be in full force and effect and shall be legally binding upon the City and the County from the Contract Date and shall continue in full force and effect until June 30, 2036, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms, in which event the Term shall be deemed to have expired as of the date of such termination. (B) Option to Renew. This Agreement shall be subject to renewal by mutual agreement of the Parties, on or before June 30, 2036 for an additional term of ten (10) years (the “Renewal Term”) on the same terms and conditions as are applicable during the Initial Term hereof or on amended terms as may be mutually agreed to by the Parties. The City shall give the County written notice of its election to renew this Agreement on or before June 30, 2035. If the parties do not execute a renewal of this Agreement prior to June 30, 2036 it shall expire. (C) Contract Rate During Renewal Term. In connection with the parties’ right to renew this Agreement for an additional ten-year term pursuant to Section 6.1(C), the parties shall, on or before January 31, 2036 negotiate an applicable change in the Contract Rate for such renewal term. In determining any revisions to the Contract Rate to be applicable during any renewal period, in addition to the circumstances described in Section 4.2(A), the parties may take into consideration the following parameters, including but not limited to: (i) actual cost of operations; (ii) population growth; (iii) increase or decrease in available tonnage; (iv) economic and disposal market conditions in the Southern California region; (v) new regulatory requirements; (vi) Changes in Law;     City Council 16 – 36 4/21/2026 (vii) changes in transportation and technology; (viii) closure and expansion of nearby landfills; (ix) capacity of the Disposal System; (x) provision of new and/or expanded services; and (xi) available reserves which are in excess of the amount reasonably required as reserves.

The rights and obligations of the parties hereto pursuant to Sections 3.1(E)(2), 5.1, 5.3, 7.2, 7.3, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, and 7.9 hereof shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement, and no such termination or expiration shall limit or otherwise affect the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereto accrued prior to the date of such termination or expiration. At the end of the Term of this Agreement, all other obligations of the parties shall terminate. SECTION 6.2 COMMENCEMENT DATE. (A) Obligations of the Parties Prior to the Commencement Date. The Parties acknowledge that the Agreements may be executed and delivered on different dates and that, except as provided in this subsection, neither the County nor the City shall be obligated to perform its obligations hereunder until the Participation Threshold provided herein has been met and the other conditions to the occurrence of the Commencement Date have occurred. Prior to the Commencement Date, each Party hereto shall at its own expense exercise good faith and due diligence and take all steps within its reasonable control in seeking to satisfy the conditions to the Commencement Date set forth herein as soon as reasonably practicable. The County and the City, each at its own expense, shall cooperate fully with each other and the other Participating Cities in connection with the foregoing undertaking. Until the Commencement Date occurs, the Original WDAs shall remain in full force and effect until they expire or are terminated. (B) Condition to the Commencement Date. The Commencement Date for the Agreement shall be the date on which Participating Cities reach the Participation Threshold. Unincorporated County is assumed to be a Participating City for the purposes of determining the Commencement Date in accordance with this Section 6.2(b) and Appendix 1 of this Agreement. (C) Satisfaction of Condition and Commencement Date. Upon the satisfaction or waiver of the condition to the Commencement Date, the County shall give written notice thereof to the Cities which have theretofore executed Agreements. The parties shall thereupon hold a formal closing acknowledging the satisfaction or waiver of the condition to the Commencement Date, certifying that the Commencement Date has occurred and designating the Participating Cities. Copies of all of the documents or instruments constituting or evidencing satisfaction of the Commencement Date conditions shall be furnished to each party prior to or on the Commencement Date. (D) Newly Incorporated Cities. Any city within Orange County which becomes incorporated after the Commencement Date shall upon request be offered the opportunity by the County to become a Participating City on substantially the same terms and conditions as this Agreement. (E) Failure of Condition. If by June 30, 2026, or such later date as the County may agree, the condition to the Commencement Date specified in this Section is not satisfied, either party hereto may, by notice in writing to the other party, terminate this Agreement. Neither party shall be liable to the other for the termination of this Agreement pursuant to this subsection, and each of the parties shall bear its respective costs and expenses incurred in seeking to satisfy the condition to the Commencement Date. ARTICLE VII GENERAL PROVISIONS SECTION 7.1 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE WASTE INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEM. The County, at its cost and expense through the County Solid Waste Enterprise Fund, shall at all times operate, or caused to be operated, the Waste Infrastructure System in accordance with Applicable Law and the operating rules and regulations of the Department and other applicable regulatory agencies.     City Council 16 – 37 4/21/2026 SECTION 7.2 UNCONTROLLABLE CIRCUMSTANCES GENERALLY. (A) Performance Excused. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, neither the County nor the City shall be liable to the other for any failure or delay in the performance of any obligation under this Agreement (other than any payment at the time due and owing) to the extent such failure or delay is due to the occurrence of an Uncontrollable Circumstance. (B) Notice, Mitigation. The Party experiencing an Uncontrollable Circumstance shall notify the other Party by telecommunication or telephone and in writing, on or promptly after the date the Party experiencing such Uncontrollable Circumstance first knew of the commencement thereof, followed within fifteen (15) days by a written description of (1) the Uncontrollable Circumstance and the cause thereof (to the extent known), (2) the date the Uncontrollable Circumstance began and the cause thereof, its estimated duration, the estimated time during which the performance of such Party’s obligations hereunder will be delayed, (3) the estimated amount, if any, by which the Contract Rate may need to be adjusted as a result of such Uncontrollable Circumstance, (4) its estimated impact on the other obligations of such Party under this Agreement and (5) potential mitigating actions which might be taken by the County or City and any areas where costs might be reduced and the approximate amount of such cost reductions. Each Party shall provide prompt written notice of the cessation of such Uncontrollable Circumstance. Whenever such act, event or condition shall occur, the Party claiming to be adversely affected thereby shall, as promptly as reasonably possible, use its best efforts to eliminate the cause therefor, reduce costs and resume performance under this Agreement. In addition, with respect to Changes in Law, the County shall diligently contest any such changes the imposition of which would have a material adverse impact on the Waste Infrastructure System. While the delay continues, the County or City shall give notice to the other Party, before the first day of each succeeding month, updating the information previously submitted. (C) Impact on Contract Rate. If and to the extent that Uncontrollable Circumstances interfere with, delay or increase the cost to the County of meeting its obligations hereunder and providing Waste Infrastructure Services to the Participating Cities in accordance herewith, the County shall be entitled to an increase in the Contract Rate as provided in Section 4.2 herein or an extension in the schedule for performance equal to the amount of the increased cost or the time lost as a result thereof. The proceeds of any insurance available to meet any such increased cost shall be applied to such purpose prior to any determination of cost increases payable under this subsection. Any cost reductions achieved through the mitigating measures undertaken by the County pursuant to subsection 7.2(B) hereof upon the occurrence of an Uncontrollable Circumstance shall be reflected in a reduction of the amount by which the Contract Rate would have otherwise been increased or shall serve to reduce the Contract Rate to reflect such mitigation measures, as applicable. SECTION 7.3 INDEMNIFICATION. To the extent permitted by law, the County agrees that, it will protect, indemnify, defend (with counsel selected by County) and hold harmless the City from and against all Loss-and- Expense arising from the City’s activity as an “arranger” (for purposes of and as such term is defined under CERCLA or comparable State statutes) of municipal solid waste disposal pursuant to this Agreement. In the event the City shall determine for any reason, other than a disabling conflict of interest, that it wishes to be defended by legal counsel other than the legal counsel provided by the County, the cost of providing such legal counsel shall be the City’s sole responsibility. Any costs incurred by the County pursuant to this Section shall be considered an Uncontrollable Circumstance cost and the County shall be entitled to adjust the Contract Rate as provided in subsection 4.2(A) herein. The County shall not, however, be required to indemnify or defend the City from and against all Loss-and-Expense arising from any willful, knowing, illegal or negligent disposal of hazardous waste (other than incidental amounts of Household Hazardous Waste commonly found in municipal solid waste and permitted to be disposed in Class III landfills under RCRA) which violates the County’s landfill permits or Applicable Law. The parties agree that this provision constitutes an indemnity under CERCLA (to the extent of the specific provisions of this Section). The parties acknowledge that this subsection is not intended to and does not create any obligation on the part of the County to provide any indemnification or defense to any Franchise Hauler, whether franchised or not, or any Independent Hauler or Transfer Station, under any circumstances. The City acknowledges the County’s legitimate interest in actively participating in any defense, litigation or settlement, whether the County or the City provides legal counsel and shall, as a condition to County’s provision of this indemnity, coordinate and cooperate fully with the County in the defense of any claims to which this Section applies.

Ross Street 5th Floor Santa Ana, CA 92701 City Notice Address:     City Council 16 – 54 4/21/2026 ORGANIC SERVICES AGREEMENT THIS ORGANIC SERVICES AGREEMENT (“Organics Agreement” or “OSA”) is made and dated as of the date indicated on the cover page hereof between the County of Orange, a political subdivision of the State of California (the “County”), and the City designated on the cover page of this Agreement (the “City”). County and City may hereinafter be referred to singularly as “Party” or collectively as “Parties.”. RECITALS The County owns, manages and operates a Waste Infrastructure System to manage municipal and solid waste generated within the County of Orange or imported from outside the County pursuant to contractual agreements. The Waste Infrastructure System collectively includes active Class III sanitary landfills (“County Landfills”), resource recovery, recycling and organics programs, infrastructure and operations, and regional household hazardous waste collection centers and other waste management related systems as may be deemed necessary by the County. County Landfills are used for the management of municipal solid waste pursuant to legislation including but not limited to the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (Division 30 of the California Public Resources Code) (the “Act”) and the Short-lived Climate Pollutants Reduction Act (“SB 1383”). County Landfills are also subject to other State and federal regulations designed to ensure that landfill operations minimize the impacts to public health and safety and the environment. Pursuant to Resolution, the County established the Waste Management Enterprise Fund pursuant to Government Code §25261 to ensure that all costs associated with the operation and management of the Waste Infrastructure System are financed by charges imposed for services provided by the Department and are not funded by tax revenue or the County General Fund. The City, in the exercise of its police power, its powers under the Act, and other Applicable Law, has entered into a franchise or other agreement with or issued permits or licenses to one or more private haulers for the collection, recycling, diversion and disposal of municipal solid waste generated within the City. A significant portion of municipal solid waste generated within the City historically has been and currently is delivered by such hauler or haulers to the County for disposal in the Disposal System. Since 1997, the City and the County have provided for the management of municipal solid waste through Waste Disposal Agreements (“WDAs”), wherein the County agreed to provide disposal capacity for waste generated in the City, and the City agreed to deliver or cause the delivery of waste generated in the City to the Disposal System, as more specifically set forth in, and subject to the terms and conditions of the WDAs. Starting in approximately 2014, the Legislature of the State of California passed several pieces of legislation (“Organics Legislation”) that require significant reductions in the disposal of Organic Waste. The purpose of the Organics Legislation is to mandate organics recycling and curtail the impacts of climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions such as methane. In this regard, the decomposition of organic material in the State’s landfills was identified as a significant source of methane that could be reduced. Prior to the passage of Organics Legislation, Processed Green Material (“PGM”) could be utilized as Alternative Daily Cover (“ADC”) for landfill operations and qualified for diversion credit. However, passage of Assembly Bill 1594 resulted in PGM used as ADC no longer being eligible for diversion credit starting on January 1, 2020. In addition to the loss of diversion eligibility for PGM used as ADC, SB 1383 requires a 50% reduction in the disposal of Organic Waste by January 1, 2020 and a 75% reduction of Organic Waste by January 1, 2025. In addition, the law requires 20% of edible food waste be recovered by 2025. On April 23, 2019, the Orange County Board of Supervisors passed Resolution 19-031 to respond to the State’s increasing landfill diversion requirements and identified the need for additional organic processing infrastructure in the County and directed the Department to develop additional organics recycling infrastructure to support the region in meeting State organic recycling mandates. (See Attachment 4)     City Council 16 – 55 4/21/2026 To respond to Organics Legislation requirements, the County has developed an Organics Infrastructure that is comprised of organic processing facilities to receive and process Organic Waste to support the State’s Organic Legislation goals, promote local recycling, assist local jurisdictions in meeting their organic diversion requirements and correspondingly conserve capacity in the Disposal System. In their effort to continue the concepts and purposes outlined in the WDAs and respond to Organics Legislation, the City and the County desire to enter into this Organics Agreement, on the terms and conditions set forth herein. With the exception of the terms and organic specific provisions found in this Organics Agreement, the Parties intend that the provisions of the currently operative WDA and the replacement WISE Agreement that is being negotiated between the County and City are anticipated to become operative on July 1, 2026, be applied to this OSA. The City has determined that the execution of this Organics Agreement by the City will serve the public health, safety and welfare of the City by providing enhanced organics processing to assist in the City in meeting its Organics Legislation diversion requirements, and the continuation of sound environmental management. The County has determined that the execution by the County of this Organics Agreement will serve the public health, safety and welfare by providing a stable, predictable and reliable supply of organic material and the resulting service payment revenue to the Organics Infrastructure, thereby enabling the County to plan, manage, operate and finance improvements to the Organics Infrastructure System on a prudent and sound long term, businesslike basis consistent with its legal and regulatory obligations to the State and Federal government. Official action approving this Organics Agreement and determining it to be in the public interest and authorizing its execution and delivery was duly taken by the County on the County authorization date indicated on the cover page hereof. Official action approving this Organics Agreement and determining it to be in the public interest and authorizing its execution and delivery was duly taken by the City on the City authorization date indicated on the cover page hereof. It is, therefore, agreed as follows: ARTICLE I DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION SECTION 1.1 DEFINITIONS. The definitions provided in the WDA and yet to be executed WISE Agreement shall be incorporated into this Agreement. The following terms shall be added and have the meanings set forth below. “Acceptable Organic Waste” means Residential Organic Waste that consists of Green Material/Wood Waste, Agricultural Material, Manure, Vegetative Food Material, Food Waste and other organic material as may be authorized under the County’s Compostable Material Handling Permits. “Attachment” means an attachment to this OSA, as the same may be amended or modified from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof. “CalRecycle” means the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, which is a branch of the California Environmental Protection Agency. CalRecycle oversees the State’s waste management and waste reduction programs. CalRecycle was established in 2010 to replace the California Integrated Waste Management Board and is responsible for the enforcement of legislation and regulations and diversion requirements applicable to the Waste Infrastructure System. ”City Acceptable Organic Waste” means all Acceptable Organic Waste which was originally discarded by the first generator thereof within the geographical limits of the City and Residue Waste from the foregoing wherever produced, whether withing or outside the City.     City Council 16 – 56 4/21/2026 “City Organic Tonnage Limit” the maximum amount of Controllable Organic Waste that County is committed to accept under the Organic Service Covenant as provided in Attachment 3. “Commencement Date” means the date on which the obligations of the parties hereto commence. “Contract Date” means the first date on which this OSA has been executed by both parties hereto. “Controllable Organic Waste” means all City Acceptable Organic Waste with respect to which the City has the legal or contractual ability to determine the processing location and procurement requirements as they relate to the City’s Organics Legislation compliance requirements. “Consumer Price Index” or “CPI” means the Consumer Price Index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for Al Urban Consumers: Water and Sewer and Trash Collection Services in U.S. City Average (CUSR0000EHG).

PGM should not contain manure, stable waste or pet waste, which can create odors. Processed Green Material is defined as following (California Code of Regulations, Title 27, Division 2, Subdivision 1, Chapter 3, Subchapter 4, Section 20690 [b] [3]): • Processed Green Material – means any plant material that is either separated at the point of generation or separated at a centralized facility that employs methods to minimize contamination. Green material includes, but is not limited to, yard trimmings, untreated wood wastes, paper products, and natural fiber products. Green material does not include treated wood waste, mixed demolition or mixed construction debris, manure, or plant waste from the food processing industry, alone or blended with soil. Processed green material may include varying proportions of wood waste from urban and other sources and shall be ground, shredded, screened, source separated for grain size, or otherwise processed. CONTAMINANT DEBRIS The PGM should be free from all contaminant debris (glass, plastic, film plastic, metals, etc.) as well as salt and deleterious material such as clods, coarse objects, rocks, inert debris, and Material Recovery Facility (“MRF”) fines. County personnel visually inspect the PGM loads as they come in, making sure that the specifications are met and to determine if the loads are contaminated (i.e., mixed with paper, plastics and other trash.) If the loads appear to have unacceptable contamination in excess of 0.5% either by weight or volume, the PGM loads will not be allowed into the Organic Infrastructure and the City and/or hauler will be notified that contaminated PGM loads are unacceptable. The PGM will be deemed as municipal solid waste and the City and/or hauler will have the option to take the material to the landfill for disposal or be returned to the hauler’s facility for additional processing. For material that is physically dumped at the unloading area and is deemed unacceptable by OC Waste & Recycling staff, the material will be re- loaded into the transfer vehicle for reprocessing at hauler’s processing facility or sent to the landfill for disposal. Hauler will be charged the current “Hard-to-Handle” fee for re-loading services and disposal of unacceptable material. SIZE The particle size of the PGM acceptable is between ½-inch and 3 inches in length between ½-inch and 1 inch in width and between ½-inch and 1 inch in thickness. No particle should exceed 3 inches in any dimension. MOISTURE CONTENT The moisture content of the PGM should be in the range of 50-60 percent. If the PGM’s moisture content is unacceptable and cannot be received for processing at the County’s Organic Infrastructure Facilities, the material will be re-loaded into the transfer vehicle for reprocessing at hauler’s processing facility or sent to the landfill for disposal. The hauler will be charged the current “Hard-to-Handle” fee for re-loading services and disposal of unacceptable material. FOOD WASTE Residential food waste mixed with PGM as part of a city organic collection program is acceptable provided that the food waste is free of contaminant debris (glass, plastic, food packaging, non-compostable silverware, soiled napkins,     City Council 16 – 70 4/21/2026 etc.). No commercial or source-separated food waste will be accepted except for cases where the County has entered into an agreement with a City to accept specific source separated organic material as Additional Feedstock as described below. SOURCE SEPARATED MANURE Subject to available capacity, City and/or Hauler may bring non-residential, source separated manure and stable bedding pursuant to the following Manure/Stable Bedding Program requirements: 1. Material Quantity: manure/stable bedding must be uncontaminated which means free of any hazardous materials, food waste packaging, plastics, glass, and any large bulky items and inert materials that need to be further sized or removed for composting. (“Material”) 2. Material Volume: County and City/Hauler will determine the anticipated volume of Material to ensure that the County’s Organic Infrastructure has sufficient capacity to manage the proposed amount of Material. 3. Material will be load checked to determine if it meets the established quality standards. If contaminants exceed 0.5% (by weight or volume), the load is deemed contaminated and not meeting quality standard for use in the Manure/Stable Bedding Program. 4.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No DISCUSSION The 10th and Flower Park Project (Project No. 26-6642) will construct a new one-acre neighborhood park located at the intersection of 10th and Flower Streets, transforming an underutilized site into an open space that provides recreational opportunities. The project includes essential site improvements and supporting infrastructure to accommodate recreational use, including a restroom, playground with interactive learning elements and shade sail, outdoor exercise equipment with shade sail, skate park, basketball court, walkways, utility connections, and amenities that support safety, accessibility, and long-term functionality (Exhibit 1). Along with the development of a new park, 10th and Flower Park Stormwater Capture Project (No. 26-6601) features an underground stormwater infiltration system and Bioretention Basis that will help improve water quality, capture trash, and reduce flooding on Flower Street and Civic Center Drive. The stormwater quality improvements were incorporated in the park plans and the natural landscape features will complement the recreational elements. Construction of the new park and stormwater improvements will be completed at the same time allowing the City to leverage stormwater grant funds to increase open space and improve stormwater management. The projects are consistent with the City’s Parks Master Plan to expand access to parks and open space in underserved areas. Prior planning efforts, along with grant funding, identified this location as well-suited for park development to address existing service gaps. The project will provide a safe and accessible recreational space for residents, contribute to neighborhood revitalization, and support the City’s long-term goals of increasing equitable access to high-quality parks and community amenities.     City Council 17 – 2 4/21/2026 Award a Construction Contract to Doja, Inc. for the Construction of the 10th and Flower Park and 10th and Flower Stormwater Capture Projects April 21, 2026 Page 3 5 6 9 3 Grant Funding Staff submitted two successful grant applications for the construction of a new park at 10th and Flower Streets along with funding for water quality improvements at the same location. In November 2024, the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) awarded the City $600,000, under the Tier 1 Environmental Cleanup Program, for the Stormwater Capture Project (No. 22-6601). Subsequently, in September 2025, the City received a grant from the State of California, Natural Resources Agency, Land and Water Conservation Program, in the amount of $2,250,000 for the 10th and Flower Park Project (No. 26-6642). The State grant requires a 50% match which will be funded out of the Park Acquisition and Development Fund. The grant also requires that this project be completed by September 9, 2030.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No DISCUSSION Warner Avenue is classified as an East-West Major Arterial in the City’s General Plan Mobility Element and the County of Orange Master Plan of Arterial Highways. Improving the one-mile segment of Warner Avenue from Main Street to Grand Avenue was approved by City Council in 2015 and has been a long-term priority project that is being constructed in multiple phases. Warner Avenue Phase 1 spans from Main Street to Oak Street and is under construction. Warner Avenue Phase 2 is from Oak Street to Grand Avenue (Exhibit 1) is the final phase of the project. Construction on both phases will occur concurrently and be completed at the same time. Improvements include widening the street from a four-lane roadway to a six-lane arterial to address safety issues and provide adequate multi-modal transit capacity as well as related improvements such as storm drains, water mains, traffic signals, bike lanes, and sidewalks. The proposed improvements for the Project originated as a mitigation measure for the Tustin Legacy Project, which involves the redevelopment of the former Tustin Marine Corps Air Station as a mixed-use commercial, residential, and industrial project. As such, the City of Tustin agreed to partially fund the improvements on Warner Avenue between Main Street and Grand Avenue in the amount of $8,000,000; these funds were     City Council 20 – 2 4/21/2026 Award a Construction Contract to Los Angeles Engineering, Inc. for the Construction of the Warner Avenue Improvements (Oak Street to Grand Avenue) Project April 21, 2026 Page 3 5 7 0 3 received by the City of Santa Ana in 2012. The construction scope of work includes street lighting, hardscaping, landscaping, irrigation, raised medians, sound walls, traffic signals, signing, striping, street pavement rehabilitation, and water and storm drain improvements. The Warner Avenue Protected Bike Lane Project has been identified in the City Council-approved Safe Mobility Santa Ana Plan (SMSA), Active Transportation Program (ATP), and Central Santa Ana Complete Streets Plan (CSACS). The project includes Class IV protected bicycle and pedestrian improvements aimed at enhancing safety and mobility for all users. The City experiences significant flooding of roadways during intense rain events, which can have negative impacts on vehicle and pedestrian travel, business operations, and can cause property damage. The City’s 2018 Storm Drain Master Plan recommended numerous storm drain system improvements citywide in order to facilitate storm flows and reduce flooding including improvements on Warner Avenue. This project features the upgrade of existing storm drain infrastructure along Warner Avenue, from Oak Street to Grand Avenue, which will connect to the newly constructed storm drain on Warner Avenue and Oak. The project also includes new drought tolerant landscaping, interpretive signage, and stormwater treatment devices. The goal of the project is to increase the capacity of the City’s storm drain system in the Delhi Channel Watershed to better facilitate storm flows. Upon project completion, the City will offer remnant parcels for purchase and development in accordance with the requirements of the Surplus Land Act (SLA). Proceeds from these sales will be returned to OCTA in accordance with the grant funding agreements. Grant Funding The City received $14,019,325 in grants for the design, right-of-way acquisition, and construction of the project from various agencies including Orange County Transportation Agency (OCTA), California State Transportation Department (Caltrans), and the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) (Federal/State/Regional).

Adopt the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Warner Avenue Improvements and Widening Project from Main Street to Grand Avenue, 4. Approve the Warner Avenue Improvements and Widening Project from Main Street to Grand Avenue DISCUSSION This action will complete the environmental phase of the Warner Avenue Improvements and Widening Project from Main Street to Grand Avenue (Exhibit 1). The approval of the Final Environmental Impact Report ( FEIR) (Exhibit 2) will allow the City to pursue funding to complete right -of -way work in preparation for the construction phase of the project, Pending approval of the FEIR, staff will seek Measure M2 Competitive funding in the upcoming call for projects that is tentatively scheduled for October 2015, Warner Avenue is a regionally significant arterial roadway providing east -west travel through the City, The existing conditions between Main Street and Grand Avenue have several unsafe features, including uncontrolled left turns, insufficient access to standards pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and no bike lanes, There Is also substantial congestion during peak perlods, and the level of service will worsen as traffic volumes increase as a result of the Tustin Legacy project and other factors, The City is proposing to Improve Warner Avenue from Maln Street to Grand Avenue by adding sidewalks, bike lanes, undergrounding utilities; and widening the roadway from existing four lanes to six lanes. In addition to the on- street dedicated bike lanes ( Class 11) and ADA- oompliant sidewalks, the proposal also includes a raised landscape median and a landscaped parkway buffer, both with drought tolerant plants, 75B -1 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 20 – 33 4/21/2026 Resolution to adopt Final EIR for Warner Avenue Improvements Main Street to Grand Avenue September 1, 2015 Page 2 The project is consistent with the designation of Warner Avenue as a major arterial in the City's adopted General Plan Circulation Element and in Orange County's Master Plan of Arterial Highways. It is also supported by the updated draft Circulation Element, which will serve as the basis for the new General Plan Circulation Element to be adopted early 2015. The environmental and engineering effort for the Warner improvements originated as a mitigation measure for the Tustin Legacy project, which involves theredevelopment of the former Tustin Marine Corps Air Station as a mixed -use commercial, residential, and industrial project, As a mitigation measure, the City of Tustin agreed to partially fund the Improvements on Warner Avenue between Main Street and Grand Avenue, Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #6 Community Facilities & infrastructure, Objective #1 (establish and maintain a Community Investment Plan for all City assets), Strategy S maintain existing streets and associated assets in a state of good repair) and Strategy G (develop and implement the City's Capital Improvement Program in coordination with the Community Investment and Deferred Maintenance Plan), gNYl00NMENTA6 IMPA The FEIR addresses the environmental effects associated with the implementation of the proposed Warner Avenue Improvements and Widening Project from Main Street to Grand Avenue, The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that local government agencies, prior to taking action on projects over which they have discretionary approval authority, consider the environmental consequences to support informed decision making. The CEQA Guidelines (Section 1 5'126Iaj) state that an EIR must address "a range of reasonable alternatives to the project, or to the location of the project, which could feasibly attain the basic objectives of the project, but would avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the project and evaluate the comparative merits of the alternatives," The alternatives considered for this project were based, in part, on their potential ability to reduce or eliminate the impacts determined to be significant and unavoidable, even after implementation of all feasible mitigation measures, Project Alternatives Considered: No Project 100' Widening Alternative 120' North Widening Alternative 120' Center Widening Alternative 120' South Widening Alternative Revised Construction Alternative 110' North Widening Alternative proposed projeoo 110' Center Widening Alternative 110' South Widening Alternative Eleven environmental topics were identified as potentially significant and are fully analyzed in this FEIR, Air Quality • Land Use and Planning Cultural Resources • Noise Geology and Solis • Population and Housing Greenhouse Gas Emissions • Transportation and Traffic Hazards and Hazardous Materials • Utilities and Service Systems Hydrology and Water Quality 75B -2 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 20 – 34 4/21/2026 Resolution to adopt Final EIR for Warner Avenue Improvements Main Street to Grand Avenue September 1, 2015 Rage 3 Two significant unavoidable environmental Impacts were Identified: 1. Nolse during construction 2. Traffic Impacts during construction Public comment totals during the Draft EIR (DEIR) review period are as follows: Written Comments: Agencies:6 Organizations:2 Individuals :7 Verbal Comments: DEIR Meeting #1: 16 Individuals DEIR Meeting #2:12 Individuals Comments generally fell into the following categories: Reduction in residential Impacts Property acquisition and relocation process Traffic impacts to local neighborhood streets Existing safety concerns throughout corridor Written responses to these comments were provided in the FEIR. The FEIR includes all written and oral comments received during the public review period as well as the City's responses. Comments received from the public and from the public agencies did not require any new analysis or result In major changes in the FEIR, The Findings and Facts in support of Findings, and Statement of Overriding Considerations for the Warner Avenue Improvements and Widening Project from Main Street to Grand Avenue Project (State Clearinghouse No. 2012101004), summarizes the evidence relied upon by the City in making these findings. This evidence is drawn from the Notice of Preparation documents; the comments and responses to comments on the DEIR and FEIR; and other evidence presented to the City, including all other Information in the administrative record, Additionally, a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program has been prepared for this project and will be adopted along with the proposed resolution (Exhibit 3). Staff and the consultant team recommend certifying the FEIR, adopting the 110' North Widening Alternative as the Warner Avenue Improvements and Widening Project, and approving the project by adopting the proposed resolution in accordance with the CEQA requirements. To Increase stakeholder involvement and awareness of the project, the City exceeded the CEQA mandated public hearing requirements and held several public meetings to discuss project benefits and the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR): May 22, 2012 June 12, 2012 July 10, 2012 October 18, 2012 February 3, 2015 February 7, 2015 Open House Meeting 1 Presentation to South Main Business Association Open House Meeting 2 EIR Scoping Meeting DEIR Public Comments Meeting DEIR Public Comments Meeting 75B -3 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 20 – 35 4/21/2026 Resolution to adopt Final EIR for Warner Avenue Improvements Main Street to Grand Avenue September 1, 2015 Page 4 The DEIR was released on January 12, 2015, for a 45 -day public comment period ending on February 26, 2015. 1,450 Notice of Availability flyers were prepared and sent to all properties within 500 feet of the project (multi - residential and single -unit properties, including the owner and tenant of each property), as well as to key stakeholders who had previously participated in the environmental process. The notices provided details of the two scheduled meetings in English and Spanish, Staff placed the Notice of Availability on the doorknobs of all properties immediately adjacent to Warner Avenue between Main Street and Grand Avenue to ensure residents were aware of the upcoming Draft SIR meetings.

B. CEQA also requires that when a Draft EIR is submitted to the State Clearinghouse for review by state agencies, the public be given an opportunity to review and comment on the Draft EIR for a period of not less than 45 days. In accordance with this requirement the Draft EIR began its 45 -day public review and comment period on January 12, 2015, with the review period ending on February 26, 2015. C. In response to written comments received, the City provided formal Response to Comments and EIR clarification or revision.

This document provides the findings required by CEQA and the specific reasons for considering the project acceptable even though the project has significant impacts that are infeasible to mitigate. The lead agency is responsible for the adequacy and objectivity of the EIR. The City of Santa Ana, as lead agency, has subjected the Draft EIR and Final EIR to its own review and analysis. The City of Santa Ana City Council certifies that the Draft EIR, Final EIR, and Findings of Fact reflect the independent judgment of the City. A. FINDINGS OF FACT The City of Santa Ana, as lead agency, is required under CEQA to make written findings concerning each alternative and each significant environmental impact identified in the Draft EIR and Final EIR. CEQA Guidelines Section 15091 provides: a) No public agency shall approve or carry out a project for which an FIR has been certified which identifies one or more significant environmental effects of the project unless the public agency makes one or more written findings for each of those significant effects, accompanied by a brief explanation of the rationale for each finding. The possible findings are: 1. Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the Final EIR. 2. Such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency. 3. Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the Final EIR. CEQA Findings of Fact - 1 - Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -13 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 20 – 45 4/21/2026 b) The findings required by subsection (a) shall be supported by substantial evidence in the record. c) The finding in subdivision (a)(2) shall not be made if the agency malting the finding has concurrent jurisdiction with another agency to deal with identified feasible mitigation measures or alternatives. The finding in subsection (a)(3) shall describe the specific reasons for rejecting identified mitigation measures and project alternatives. d) When making the findings required in subdivision (a)(1), the agency shall also adopt a program for reporting on or monitoring the changes which it has either required in the project or made a condition of approval to avoid or substantially lessen significant environmental effects. These measures must be fully enforceable through permit conditions, agreements, or other measures. e) The public agency shall specify the location and custodian of the documents or other material which constitute the record of the proceedings upon which its decision is based. f) A statement made pursuant to Section 15093 does not substitute for the findings required by this section. The "changes or alterations" referred to in Section 15091(a)(1) may include a wide variety of measures or actions, as set forth in Guidelines Section 15370, including: a) Avoiding the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action. b) Minimizing impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation. c) Rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the impacted environment. d) Reducing or eliminating the impact over time by preservation and maintenance operations during the life of the action. e) Compensating for the impact by replacing or providing substitute resources or environments. B. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS The Final EIR includes the Draft EIR dated January 12, 2015, written comments on the Draft EIR that were received during the public review period, and written responses to those comments and changes to the Draft FIR, and revisions to the Draft FIR based on agency comments (hereinafter referred to collectively as the Final EIR). In conformance with CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines, the City conducted an extensive environmental review of the proposed project. The environmental review process has included: CEQA Findings of Fact -2- Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -14 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 20 – 46 4/21/2026 Completion of an Initial Study (IS) and Notice of Preparation (NOP), which concluded that an EIR would be prepared. The NOP was released for a 30 -day public review period from October 1, 2012, to October 30, 2012. The NOP was posted at the Orange County Clerk- Recorder's office on October 1, 2012. Copies of the IS were made available for public review at Santa Ana City Hall, Santa Ana Public Works Agency office, and Santa Ana Main Library. During the scoping process, the public was invited by the City to participate in a scoping meeting held on October 18, 2012, at the Manuel Esqueda Elementary School Multipurpose Room. The notice of a public scoping meeting was included in the NOP. The Draft EIR was made available for a 45 -day public review period from January 12, 2015, to February 26, 2015. The Draft EIR analyzed impacts to air quality, cultural resources, geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use, noise, population and housing, transportation and traffic, and utilities and service systems. The Draft EIR analysis identified that the proposed project would result in significant environmental impacts related to noise and traffic during construction. All other CEQA - related environmental impacts were found to be less than significant with mitigation measures incorporated. The Notice of Availability for the Draft EIR (NOA) and the Draft EIR were sent to agencies, organizations and interested persons, and to the Governor's Office of Planning and Research, State Clearinghouse for distribution to state agencies. The NOA was posted at the Orange County Clerk- Recorder's office on January 8, 2015 and. Copies of the NOA and Draft EIR were made available for public review at the Santa Ana City Clerk's Office, Santa Ana Publics Works Agency, Santa Ana Main Library, and the Delhi Center. NOA was mailed to over 1,400 addresses; hand delivered to all properties adjacent to Warner Avenue between Main Street and Grand Avenue, including individual units in two apartment complexes within 500 feet of the project; published in Orange County Register and the Excelsior newspapers. The City held over 35 meetings relating to the Warner Avenue hprovements and Widening Project. The meetings covered and gathered feedback on various topics including project benefits, the EIR, and the property acquisition /relocation process.. The City has exceeded its obligation for public outreach for this project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). All public meetings have had a Spanish interpreter; and certain documents, such as the right -of -way process and meeting notices, have been translated to Spanish. Additionally, Spanish & Vietnamese translation was offered at each individual meeting. The Final EIR included the Draft EIR written comments, verbal comments from two Draft EIR public meetings, responses to all comments, and revisions to the Draft EIR. The Final EIR was released for a 10 -day agency review period prior to certification of the Final EIR. Public hearing will be held for the proposed project: City Council on September 1, 2015. C.

As proposed (based on assessor parcel numbers, APNs), 30 full parcels and 8 partial parcels would require acquisition along the north side of Warner Avenue from Main Street to Standard Avenue. On the south side of Warner Avenue, 5 full parcels and 19 partial parcels would require acquisition between Main Street and Brookhollow Drive. The City would comply with the Federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended, and the State of California Relocation Guidelines under Title 25, Division 1, Chapter 6, of the California Code of Regulations. A specific relocation plan would be prepared, and all displaced persons would be contacted by a relocation agent, who is responsible for ensuring that displaced persons receive full relocation benefits, including advisory assistance, and that all activities are conducted in accordance with federal and state regulations. F. PROJECT OBJECTIVES Design and construct Warner Avenue to be consistent with the City's General Plan Circulation Element and County of Orange Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH) designation as a major arterial. Alleviate traffic congestion and delays within the Warner Avenue project limits. Provide roadway capacity to accommodate existing and future traffic volumes. Increase vehicular safety and reduce accidents by removing left turn hazards. Comply with the Complete Streets Act by providing safe and accessible travel for bicyclist, pedestrians, and wheelchairs through new bike lanes and wider parkway and sidewalks. Minimize property acquisition including public facilities. Improve stormwater drainage and water quality. G. SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Based on the Initial Study and Draft FIR, the following is a summary of the environmental topics considered to have no impact, a less than significant impact, a less than significant impact with incorporation of mitigation measures, and a significant and unavoidable impact. No Impact Agriculture and Forestry Resources Mineral Resources Less Than Significant Impact Aesthetics Biological Resources Geology and Soils Greenhouse Gas Emissions CEQA Findings of Fact -5- Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -17 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 20 – 49 4/21/2026 Hazards and Hazardous Materials Hydrology and Water Quality Land Use and Planning Population and Housing Public Services Recreation Utilities and Service Systems Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated Air Quality (Construction) Cultural Resources (Archaeological) Significant and Unavoidable Impact Noise (Construction) Transportation and Traffic (Construction) II. FINDINGS ON POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS A. IMPACTS MITIGATED TO LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT The following summary describes impacts of the proposed project that, without mitigation, would result in significant adverse impacts. Upon implementation of the mitigation measures provided in the Draft EIR, these impacts would be considered less than significant. Air Quality Impact 5.1 -4 Construction activities associated with the proposed project could expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations of coarse particulate matter (PM10). Facts in Support of Finding: Support for this environmental impact conclusion is fully discussed starting on page 5.1 -16 of Section 5. 1, Air Quality, of the Draft EIR. The maximum daily emissions of PM10 generated during demolition and debris - hauling activities would exceed the PMto LST. Consequently, impacts to localized air quality from project - related construction activities would be potentially significant. Mitigation Measure AQ -1 Prior to construction contract award, the City of Santa Ana shall specify in the constriction special provisions that the construction contractor shall include limitations on the amount of roadway debris to be removed from the site. During demolition of the roadway including asphalt, roadbed, curb, gutter, and sidewalks, the contractor shall limit the daily amount of demolition debris haul to a maximum of 38 trucks per day if 12 -ton capacity haul trucks are used, assuming a one -way haul distance of 9 miles. If truck haul distance for roadway debris is greater than 9 miles, CEQA Findings of Fact -6- Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 7 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 20 – 50 4/21/2026 then hauling shall be restricted to no more than 684 miles per day. The demolition debris hauling phase shall not overlap with any other construction phases, including grading. These requirements shall be noted on all construction management plans and verified by the City of Santa Ana during demolition and grading activities. Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated into the project that avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. These changes are identified in the form of a mitigation measure, presented above. Impact 5.1 -4 would be less than significant with mitigation. The City of Santa Ana hereby finds that implementation of the mitigation measure is feasible, and it is therefore adopted. Cultural Resources Impact 5.2 -2 Project - related earthwork may result in a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource. Facts in Support of Finding: Support for this environmental impact conclusion is fully discussed starting on page 5.2 -10 of Section 5. 2, Cultural Resources, of the Draft EIR. The project would involve ground disturbance up to a depth of about 30 inches. The total area of disturbance for the road widening is estimated as 24.7 acres. Although, the project site is already disturbed and developed, because of the early development in this area, previously undiscovered archaeological resources could be damaged during construction. The possible destruction of archaeological resources is considered a significant impact. Mitigation Measures CUL -1 Prior to the initiation of project - related earthmoving activities, the City of Santa Ana project manager or their designee shall retain a county- certified qualified archaeologist. The archaeologist must have knowledge of both prehistoric and historical archaeology, and shall remain on call in the event of a discovery. CUL -2 Prior to the start of ground- disturbing activities on the project site, the City of Santa Ana project manager or their designee shall ensure that a qualified archaeologist or another mitigation program staff member has conducted cultural resources sensitivity training for all construction workers involved in moving soil or working near soil disturbance. Construction personnel, including heavy - equipment operators, shall be briefed on procedures to be followed in the event that cultural remains are encountered by earthmoving activities. Preconstruction training shall include: o Review the types of archaeological resources that might be found Review of laws and applicable requirements concerning the protection of cultural resources o Prehistoric or historic cultural resource discovery procedures CEQA Findings of Fact -7- Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -19 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 20 – 51 4/21/2026 The briefing shall be presented to new contractor personnel as necessary Names and telephone numbers of the monitor and other mitigation program personnel shall be provided to appropriate construction personnel CUL -3 During project - related earthmoving activities, if cultural resources are discovered, a qualified archaeologist shall prepare a cultural resource monitoring plan. The cultural resource monitoring plan shall outline when and for how long monitoring shall occur; where on the site monitoring shall be required; methods of monitoring; types of artifacts anticipated; procedures for temporary stop and redirection of work to permit sampling, identification, and evaluation of possible resources; procedures for additional analysis; and accommodation and procedures for Native American monitors, if any. Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated into the project that avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. These changes are identified in the form of a mitigation measure, presented above. Impact 5.2 -2 would be less than significant with mitigation. The City of Santa Ana hereby finds that implementation of the mitigation measure is feasible, and it is therefore adopted. Noise Impact 5.8 -1 Long -term operations due to expansion of Warner Avenue from four to six lanes would expose noise - sensitive land uses to ambient noise levels that exceed the City's noise compatibility criteria. Facts in Support of Finding: Support for this environmental impact conclusion is fully discussed starting on page 5.8 -13 of Section 5.8, Noise, of the Draft EIR. Widening of Warner Avenue from four to six lanes would require demolition of the first row of structures along the north side of Warner Avenue, thereby exposing the second row receptors along Warner Avenue to roadway noise. In addition, expansion of Warner Avenue would change the lane alignments, resulting in locations where travel lanes would be closer to the nearest buildings. The combination of these two impacts could substantially increase exterior and interior noise levels at the noise - sensitive land uses along Warner Avenue. Mitigation Measure N -1 Prior to final engineering plan approval, when detailed roadway alignment, landscape plans, and elevations are available, a final noise study shall be prepared to identify specific sound wall locations along receptors that would be significantly impacted by the project. With current information significantly affected properties are listed in Table 5. 8 -12. Figure 5. 8 -2 shows the sound wall locations and heights that would reduce noise impacts to levels below significance. For aesthetic purposes, the City can use the alternative wall location shown on Figure 5. 8 -2; however, one of the two wall locations is required to provide sound attenuation to meet City of Santa Ana noise standards. Sound walls shall be solid from the ground to the top with no decorative cutouts and shall weigh at least 3. 5 pounds per square foot of face area. The sound walls may be constructed using masonry block, '/a -inch thick glass, or other transparent material with sufficient weight per square foot. The need, location, CEQA Findings of Fact -8- Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -20 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 20 – 52 4/21/2026 and height of sound walls /walls shall be determined based on the conclusions of the final acoustical report and the final pad elevations of the grading plan. All walls determined to be necessary for noise mitigation by the final acoustical report shall be incorporated into the final roadway construction plans. Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated into the project that avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. These changes are identified in the form of a mitigation measure, presented above. Impact 5. 8 -1 would be less than significant with mitigation. The City of Santa Ana hereby finds that implementation of the mitigation measure is feasible, and it is therefore adopted. Impact 5. 8 -2 Construction activities would expose sensitive uses to groundborne vibration levels that would be perceptible and potentially cause architectural damage at homes. Facts in Support of Finding: Support for this environmental impact conclusion is fully discussed starting on page 5. 8 -16 of Section 5.8, Noise, of the Draft EIR. Groundborne vibration would be generated by the proposed project during construction activities, primarily during the demolition, grading, and foundation phases. At a distance of 25 feet, vibration levels generated by a vibratory roller would exceed the FTA threshold and would have the potential to cause architectural damage at existing structures. Mitigation Measure N -2 The use of vibratory rollers shall be prohibited within 30 feet of a residential structure. If soil compacting is required within 30 feet of a residential structure, static rollers shall be employed. Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated into the project that avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. These changes are identified in the form of a mitigation measure, presented above. Impact 5. 8 -2 would be less than significant with mitigation. The City of Santa Ana hereby finds that implementation of the mitigation measure is feasible, and it is therefore adopted. Transportation and Traffic Impact 5.10 -6 Project construction may require additional temporary safety measures to assure safe routes to schools for elementary schools next to the project site. Facts in Support of Finding: Support for this environmental impact conclusion is fully discussed starting on page 5.10 -28 of Section 5.10, Transportation and Traffic, of the Draft EIR. There are two schools next to the project site: James Monroe Elementary School at 417 East Central Avenue along the south side of Warner Avenue near its intersection with Oak Street; and Manuel Esqueda Elementary School at 2240 South Main Street at the northwest corner of the intersection of Warner Avenue and Main Street. Temporary changes to roadway and intersection configuration during project construction, including changes to crosswalks and pedestrian crossing signals, may require additional, temporary safety measures for students and other CEQA Findings of Fact -9- Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -21 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 20 – 53 4/21/2026 pedestrians during project construction. Mitigation Measure T -2 Prior to the beginning of any utility relocation, demolition, or construction work, a detailed construction traffic control plan shall be prepared by a licensed civil engineer. The construction traffic control plan shall be based on the most recent version of the Greenbook: Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction federal); California Department of Transportation California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (state); Southern California Chapter of the American Public Works Association Work Area Traffic Control Handbook, and City Standard Provisions (local). The traffic control plan shall include extensive public outreach and public awareness through the use of mailers and notices in local papers and other publications. T -3 The construction traffic control plan required by Mitigation Measure T -2 shall include addition of any needed temporary safety measures to the Safe Routes to Schools plans for James Monroe Elementary School and Manuel Esqueda Elementary School. Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated into the project that avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. These changes are identified in the form of a mitigation measure, presented above. Impact 5.10 -6 would be less than significant with mitigation. The City of Santa Ana hereby finds that implementation of the mitigation measures are feasible, and they are therefore adopted. Impact 5.10 -7 The project could require temporary alterations, including rerouting, of OCTA bus services during project construction; and permanent relocation of the bus stop at Warner Avenue and Standard Avenue for the proposed reconfiguration of the Cherry Aerospace access improvements. Facts in Support of Finding: Support for this environmental impact conclusion is fully discussed starting on page 5.10 -28 of Section 5.10, Transportation and Traffic, of the Draft EIR. The proposed truck access reconfiguration and concrete access pad for the Cherry Aerospace facility could potentially impact OCTA bus operations at the existing Warner Avenue/Standard Avenue bus stop. Therefore, project constriction could require temporary alteration, which may include rerouting, of OCTA bus routes 53, 55, 72 and 463 serving Warner Avenue between Main Street and Grand Avenue. Construction of the proposed truck access reconfiguration and concrete access pad for the Cherry Aerospace facility would require permanent relocation of the OCTA bus stop for eastbound Route 72, which is now located between Cherry Aerospace driveways. Mitigation Measure T -4 At least three months before the start of any project work that could impact the Warner Avenue roadway, concrete pads at existing bus stops in the project site, or sidewalks, the City of Santa Ana and the project traffic engineer shall coordinate with the Orange County Transportation Authority to specify any needed temporary alterations of service on OCTA Routes 53, 55, 72, and 463. Such alterations may include rerouting bus routes off of Warner Avenue in the project site and permanent CEQA Findings of Fact - 10 - Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -22 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 20 – 54 4/21/2026 relocation of the bus stop at Standard Avenue and Warner Avenue due to the proposed buck turn-out for Cherry Aerospace. Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated into the project that avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. These changes are identified in the form of a mitigation measure, presented above. Impact 5.10 -7 would be less than significant with mitigation. The City of Santa Ana hereby finds that implementation of the mitigation measure is feasible, and it is therefore adopted. B. SIGNIFICANT UNAVOIDABLE IMPACTS The following summary describes the unavoidable impacts of the proposed project where mitigation measures were found to be infeasible, or they would not reduce impacts to less than significant. The following impact would remain significant and unavoidable. Noise Impact 5.8 -3 Construction activities would substantially elevate noise levels in the vicinity of noise - sensitive land uses for an extended duration. Facts in Support of Finding: Support for this environmental impact conclusion is fully discussed starting on page 5. 8 -19 of Section 5.8, Noise, of the Draft EIR. Short -term noise would be associated with the site preparation, grading, and building construction of the proposed road widening. While the magnitude of the noise would, at times, be up to 86 dBA Ley, it would fluctuate throughout the workday because equipment would not be in use at one location for an extended period of time. Operation of heavy earthmoving equipment has the potential to substantially elevate noise levels at nearby residential areas for an extended duration over several months; construction noise is considered significant. Mitigation Measures N -1 Prior to final engineering plan approval, when detailed roadway alignment, landscape plans, and elevations are available, a final noise study shall be prepared to identify specific sound wall locations along receptors that would be significantly impacted by the project. With current information significantly affected properties are listed in Table 5. 8 -12. Figure 5.8 -2 shows the sound wall locations and heights that would reduce noise impacts to levels below significance. For aesthetic purposes, the City can use the alternative wall location shown on Figure 5. 8 -2; however, one of the two wall locations is required to provide sound attenuation to meet City of Santa Ana noise standards. Sound walls shall be solid from the ground to the top with no decorative cutouts and shall weigh at least 3.5 pounds per square foot of face area. The sound walls may be constructed using masonry block, '/a -inch thick glass, or other transparent material with sufficient weight per square foot. The need, location, and height of sound walls /walls shall be determined based on the conclusions of the final acoustical report and the final pad elevations of the grading plan. All walls determined to be necessary for noise mitigation by the final acoustical report shall be incorporated into the final roadway construction plans. N -2 The use of vibratory rollers shall be prohibited within 30 feet of a residential CEQA Findings of Fact - 11 - Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -23 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 20 – 55 4/21/2026 structure. If soil compacting is required within 30 feet of a residential structure, static rollers shall be employed. N -3 Prior to the start of grading, the construction contractor shall provide evidence acceptable to the Public Works Director, or designee, that: a. All construction vehicles and equipment, fixed or mobile, shall be equipped with properly operating and maintained mufflers; mufflers shall be equivalent to or of greater noise reducing performance than manufacturer's standard. b. Stationary equipment, such as generators, cranes, and air compressors, shall be located as far from adjacent residences and James Monroe Elementary School as feasible. c. Equipment maintenance, vehicle parking, and material staging areas shall be located as far away from adjacent residences and James Monroe Elementary School as feasible. N -4 The recommended sound walls described in N -1 shall be constructed as soon as practicable to minimize temporary construction - related noise impacts during implementation of the project. Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated into the project that avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. These changes are identified in the form of a mitigation measure, presented above. The City of Santa Ana hereby finds that implementation of the mitigation measure is feasible, and it is therefore adopted. Mitigation Measures N -1 through N -4 would reduce noise generated by construction activities to the extent feasible. However, due to the amount of heavy construction equipment required and duration of construction activities, Impact 5. 8 - 3 would remain significant and unavoidable and a Statement of Overriding Considerations is required. Transportation and Traffic Impact 5.10 -3 Project construction may result in temporary impacts to levels of service at Warner Avenue /Main Street and Warner Avenue/Halladay Street intersections. Facts in Support of Finding: Support for this environmental impact conclusion is fully discussed starting on page 5.10 -26 of Section 5. 10, Transportation and Traffic, of the Draft EIR. The analysis detennined that three studied intersections would continue to operate at acceptable LOS D or better and two intersections would operate at unacceptable LOS: Main Street and Warner Avenue at LOS E during PM peak hour, and Halladay Street and Warner Avenue at LOS F during PM peak hour. Additionally, because the Maple Street and Warner Avenue intersection is unsignalized, the delay would be worsened in the north and south directions. These impacts would be temporary, and traffic flow would improve once the construction is complete. Short- term roadway closures would occur during removal and relocation of overhead electrical poles. CEQA Findings of Fact - 12 - Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -24 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 20 – 56 4/21/2026 Mitigation Measures T -1 Any temporary lane closures shall be limited to non -rush -hour periods. Directions to alternative routes shall be provided to drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians during road closures. Road closures shall not last over 24 hours without advance written approval of the Executive Director of the City of Santa Ana Public Works Agency or designee. T -2 Prior to the beginning of any utility relocation, demolition, or construction work, a detailed construction traffic control plan shall be prepared by a licensed civil engineer. The construction traffic control plan shall be based on the most recent version of the Greenbook: Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction federal); California Department of Transportation California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (state); Southern California Chapter of the American Public Works Association Work Area Traffic Control Handbook; and City Standard Provisions (local). The traffic control plan shall include extensive public outreach and public awareness through the use of mailers and notices in local papers and other publications. Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated into the project that avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. These changes are identified in the form of a mitigation measure, presented above. The City of Santa Ana hereby finds that implementation of the mitigation measure is feasible, and it is therefore adopted. Mitigation Measures T -1 and T -2 would reduce construction- related traffic impacts to the extent feasible. However, due to the reduction in travel lanes and duration of construction activities, Impact 5.10 -3 would remain significant and unavoidable and a Statement of Overriding Considerations is required. III. FINDINGS ON PROJECT ALTERNATIVES The CEQA Guidelines (Section 15126[a]) state that an EIR must address "a range of reasonable alternatives to the project, or to the location of the project, which could feasibly attain the basic objectives of the project, but would avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the project and evaluate the comparative merits of the alternatives." The alternatives were based, in part, on their potential ability to reduce or eliminate the impacts determined to be significant and unavoidable for the proposed project even after implementation of all feasible mitigation measures. As described in Chapter 7 of this Draft FIR, five project alternatives were identified, considered, and rejected from further analysis as described below: Alternative Project Site Preliminary Engineering Alternatives 0 100 ROW 0 110 Center Alternative 0 120 North Alternative 0 120 Center Alternative Four project alternatives were identified and analyzed for relative impacts as compared to the proposed project: No Project Alternative CEQA Findings of Fact - 13 - Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -25 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 20 – 57 4/21/2026 110 South Alternative 120 South Alternative Revised Construction Alternative The alternatives analyzed in the EIR were determined to represent a reasonable range of alternatives with the potential to feasibly attain most of the basic objectives of the project but avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the project. A. No Project Alternative Section 15126.6(e) of the CEQA Guidelines requires the analysis of a No Project Alternative. This No Project analysis must discuss the existing condition, as well as what would be reasonably expected to occur in the foreseeable future if the project were not to be approved. In this alternative Warner Avenue from Main Street to Grand Avenue is not widened, and the existing roadway configuration and intersection traffic controls remain as is. The new bicycle lanes and improved sidewalks included in the proposed project would not be constructed. No properties would be acquired, and no buildings demolished for roadway widening. Drainage improvements included in the proposed project would not be installed. Facts in Support of Finding: This alternative would meet one project objective, Objective 6 — minimizing property acquisition including public facilities — but would not meet any of the other project objectives. This alternative would increase impacts on geology and soils, hydrology and water quality, transportation and traffic, and utilities and service systems. This alternative would avoid one significant and unavoidable impact, (construction noise), but would increase the significant and unavoidable impact related to construction- phase traffic. Finding: The City of Santa Ana finds, based on the Final EIR and the whole of the record, that the No Project Alternative is less desirable than the proposed project. Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including considerations for the provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make this alternative less than desirable than the proposed project. Public Resources Code § 21081 [a][3], Guidelines § 15091 [a][3]). B. 110 South Alternative This alternative would use a 110 -foot total ROW width, a modified Major Arterial ROW, and would align the road widening mostly on the south of the existing centerline. The ROW includes six 11 -foot lanes, a 14- foot -wide raised landscaped median, 5 -foot shoulder/bike lanes, and 10- foot parkway and sidewalk. This alternative would require 25 full and 31 partial parcel acquisitions. Compared to the proposed project, the major differences with this alignment are the acquisition and building removal of three additional commercial parcels (at the strip commercial center) and one industrial parcel (Cherry Aerospace). Partial impacts to industrial parcels on the north side of Warner Avenue would be reduced. The majority of impacts to full residential parcels would be shifted from the north to the south side of Warner Avenue and result in the reduction of 10 full CEQA Findings of Fact - 14 - Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -26 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 20 – 58 4/21/2026 acquisitions, and an increase of 4 partial acquisitions, compared to the proposed project. Facts in Support of Finding: This alternative would achieve all project objectives. This alternative would reduce the number of residential parcels that would be affected by construction noise; however, this impact would remain significant and unavoidable in this alternative, as it would for the proposed project. The 110 South Alternative would reduce environmental impacts to population and housing; all other environmental topics would be similar to the proposed project. This alternative would result in the loss of a strip of property along the north side of James Monroe Elementary School, National Guard Armory, and Delhi Park and the demolition of Cherry Aerospace, a large industrial parcel that provides the community with income and employment opportunities. While fewer homes would be demolished under this alternative, the demolition of Cherry Aerospace would not be an economically feasible substitute. Additionally, the impact to public facilities would have greater effects to the community compared to the proposed project. Land use and planning impacts would be greater than the proposed project. Finding: The City of Santa Ana finds, based on the Final FIR and the whole of the record, that the 110 South Alternative is less desirable than the proposed project. Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including considerations for the provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make this alternative less than desirable than the proposed project. Public Resources Code § 21081 [a] [3], Guidelines § 15091 [a] [3]). C. 120 South Alternative This alternative would use a 120 -foot total ROW width, the City of Santa Ana standard Major Arterial ROW, and would align most of the road widening to the south of the existing centerline. The ROW includes six 12 -foot lanes, a 14- foot -wide raised landscaped median, 7 -foot shoulder/bike lanes, and 10 -foot parkway and sidewalk. This alternative would require 31 full and 25 partial parcel acquisitions. Compared to the proposed project, the major differences with this alignment are the acquisition and building removal of three additional commercial parcels (at the strip commercial center), the fire station, and two industrial parcels (Cherry Aerospace and H &H asphalt). The majority of impacts to full residential parcels would be shifted from the north to the south side of Warner Avenue and result in the reduction of 4 full acquisitions. Facts in Support of Finding: This alternative would result in the loss of a significant strip of property along Warner Avenue at the Monroe Elementary School, National Guard Armory, and Delhi Park. This alternative would not reduce either of the significant and unavoidable impacts of the proposed project, and would increase environmental impacts to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and hazards and hazardous materials. Long term traffic noise impacts may be reduced. All other environmental topics would be similar to the proposed project.

Public Resources Code § 21O81[a][3], Guidelines § 15O91[a][3]). D. Revised Construction Alternative The operation of heavy earthmoving equipment would substantially elevate noise levels near residential areas and schools (considered sensitive noise receptors) over several months; therefore, construction noise is considered significant. This alternative would reduce the number of heavy earthmoving equipment and construction activities occurring daily and extend construction schedule as shown in the table below, and would reduce construction- related noise impacts. In most cases the pieces of equipment would be reduced by half and the duration of each phase of construction would be doubled.

ROW clearance, demolition, and removal of buildings, pads, and poles would be done over 3 to 5 years as parcels are acquired by the City. 2 Duration is for each side of the street required for widening in 0.25 -mile segments. For example, laying pavement would take 17 days for a 0.25 -mile section on the north side of Warner Avenue and another 17 days for a 0. 25 -mile section an the south side of Warner Avenue. Facts in Support of Finding: Impacts related to construction transportation and traffic — one of the two significant and unavoidable impacts — would be greater than for the proposed project. All other environmental topics would be similar to the proposed project. Construction noise impacts would be reduced, but not to less than significant levels. Impacts would remain significant and unavoidable.

INTRODUCTION The City of Santa Ana (City) is the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act CEQA) and is responsible for preparation, review, and certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report (Final EIR) for the Warner Avenue hprovements and Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue. As the lead agency, the City is also responsible for determining the potential environmental impacts of the proposed action, which of those impacts are significant, and therefore require mitigation measures to avoid or minimize those impacts. CEQA then requires the lead agency to balance the benefits of the proposed action against its significant unavoidable adverse environmental impacts before determining whether or not to approve the proposed project. In making this determination, the City complies with the Section 15093 of the CEQA Guidelines, which provides: a) CEQA requires the decision - malting agency to balance, as applicable, the economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits of a proposed project against its unavoidable environmental risks when determining whether to approve the project. If the specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits of a proposed project outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental effects, the adverse environmental effects may be considered "acceptable." b) When the lead agency approves a project which will result in the occurrence of significant effects which are identified in the Final FIR but are not avoided or substantially lessened, the agency shall state in writing the specific reasons to support its action based on the Final EIR and/or other information in the record. The statement of overriding considerations shall be supported by substantial evidence in the record. c) If an agency makes a statement of overriding considerations, the statement should be included in the record of the project approval and should be mentioned in the notice of determination. This statement does not substitute for, and shall be in addition to, findings required pursuant to Section 15091. In addition, Public Resources Code, Section 21081(b), requires that where a public agency finds that specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including considerations for the provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or alternatives identified in an EIR and thereby leave significant unavoidable effects, the public agency must also 'find that overriding economic, legal, CEQA Statement of Overriding Considerations - 1 - Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -30 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 20 – 62 4/21/2026 social, technological, or other benefits of the project outweigh the significant effects of the proj ect. Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081(b) and the State CEQA Guidelines Section 15093, the City has balanced the benefits of the project against the following unavoidable adverse impacts associated with the project and has adopted all feasible mitigation measures with respect to these impacts. The City also has examined alternatives to the project, none of which both meets the project objectives and is environmentally preferable to the proposed project for the reasons discussed in the Findings and Facts in Support of Findings. II. SIGNIFICANT AND UNAVOIDABLE ADVERSE IMPACTS Although most potential project - related impacts have been substantially reduced or avoided through mitigation, as described in the Findings of Fact, there remain some impacts for which complete mitigation is not feasible. For some impacts, mitigation measures were identified and adopted, but even with implementation of the measures, the City finds that the impact cannot be reduced to a less than significant level. The Final FIR identified the following project- related significant unavoidable adverse impacts. A. NOISE — Construction Construction activities would substantially elevate noise levels in the vicinity of noise- sensitive land uses for an extended duration. Short-term noise would be associated with the site preparation, grading, and building construction of the proposed road widening. The existing noise levels at receptors along Warner Avenue range from 69.5 to 72.8 dBA Leg. Each construction phase would generate noise levels ranging from 82 to 87 dBA Leq at 25 feet; however it would fluctuate throughout the workday because equipment would not be in use at one location for an extended period of time. Because the operation of heavy earthmoving equipment has the potential to substantially elevate noise levels at nearby residential areas for an extended duration over several months, construction noise is considered significant. Mitigation Measure N -1 requires the location of sound walls included in final roadway construction plans; Mitigation Measure N -2 requires that vibratory rollers not be used within 30 feet of homes; Mitigation Measure N -3 puts restrictions on construction vehicles and equipment; and Mitigation Measure N -4 requires early construction of permanent sound walls. Mitigation Measures N -1, N -2, N -3, and N -4 would reduce noise generated by construction activities to the extent feasible; however, construction -phase noise impacts are still anticipated to occur; therefore, this impact is considered significant and unavoidable. B. TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC — Construction Project construction would temporary affect traffic flow along Warner Avenue and surrounding streets, and significantly impact Warner Avenue/Main Street and Warner Avenue /Halladay Street intersections. Construction would be completed in linear segments so the entire length of Warner Avenue within the project limits is not disrupted at once. During demolition and construction, the four existing travel lanes on Warner Avenue would be narrowed to two lanes, one lane in each CEQA Statement of Overriding Considerations -2- Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -31 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 20 – 63 4/21/2026 direction, along the side opposite the area of construction. Where lane closures during peak periods cannot be avoided, traffic would be managed to give priority to the direction that has the heaviest traffic. Short -term roadway closures would occur during removal and relocation of overhead electrical poles. Two intersections would operate at unacceptable LOS during the construction phase: Main Street and Warner Avenue at LOS E during PM peak hour, and Halliday Street and Warner Avenue at LOS F during PM peak hour. Mitigation Measure T -1 requires that lane closures avoid non -rush -hour periods. Mitigation Measure T -2 requires that a construction traffic management plan identifying construction traffic control requirements, traffic detours, and other necessary measures be implemented. The measure also requires extensive public notification about the construction. Mitigation Measures T -1 and T -2 would reduce traffic delays caused by construction activities to the extent feasible; however, construction -phase traffic impacts are still anticipated to occur; therefore, this impact is considered significant and unavoidable. III. CONSIDERATIONS IN SUPPORT OF THE STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS After balancing the specific economic, legal, social, technological, and other benefits of the proposed project, the City of Santa Ana has determined that the unavoidable adverse temporary construction - related environmental impacts identified above may be considered "acceptable" due to the specific considerations discussed below; therefore, the project benefits. outweigh the unavoidable, adverse environmental impacts. The following benefits will occur as a result of approval of the proposed project. 1. Design and construct Warner Avenue to be consistent with the City's General Plan Circulation Element and Orange County Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH) designation as a major arterial. Warner Avenue within the project limits is a four -lane undivided road with variable curb -to- curb and right -of -way (ROW) widths. Warner Avenue has a major arterial designation with six -lanes in both the City's General Plan Circulation Element and the Orange County MPAH; therefore the current cross - section is inconsistent with both documents. Widening Warner Avenue from ,four to six lanes between Main Street and Grand Avenue would make this section of the street consistent with the City's General Plan Circulation Element and the Orange County MPAH. 2. Alleviate traffic congestion and delays within the Warner Avenue project limits. By adding a vehicle travel lane in each direction, Warner Avenue widening will significantly reduce traffic congestion and delays within the one mile project limits. Additionally by providing a safer travel options for pedestrians and bicyclist, it is anticipated that some people may choose to not drive thereby reducing traffic. 3. Provide roadway capacity to accommodate existing and future traffic volumes. Warner Avenue within the project limits is a four -lane road with variable curb -to -curb and right -of -way (ROW) widths. It has a median (striped not raised) in some segments and no median in other segments; therefore, this four -lane section of Warner Avenue is designed to accommodate up to 20,000 vehicles per day (LOS Q. Currently there are 23,000 to 28,000 CEQA Statement of Overriding Considerations -3- Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -32 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 20 – 64 4/21/2026 vehicles per day. By the year 2035 estimated traffic volumes along this segment are forecast at 30,000 to 31,900 vehicles per day. Both the existing andfuture daily traffic volumes exceed the acceptable level ofservice for a four -lane undivided roadway. Warner Avenue would be widened to six -lanes to comply with the major arterial designation and would accommodate 45, 000 to 60, 000 vehicles per day for current and future traffic. 4. Increase vehicular safety and reduce accidents by removing left turn hazards. The project would have a raised median as a traffic calming feature controlling vehicle left turns and cross traffic for improved safety. The reduction of driveway accesses along Warner Avenue would potentially reduce accidents caused by backing up across the sidewalk and into oncoming traffic and vehicle collisions between through movement and vehicles accessing from private properties. 5. Comply with the Complete Streets Act by providing safe and accessible travel for bicyclist, pedestrians, wheelchairs, transit riders and motorists through additional bike and vehicle lanes, wider parkway and sidewalks and improved bus locations. The City is in the process ofupdating the General Plan Circulation Element and will comply with the complete streets principles (planning for all modes) as required by the Complete Streets Act. Warner Avenue project would be consistent with the circulation element and therefore would comply with the policies outlined in the Complete Streets Act (AB 1358, Chapter 657, Statutes of 2008). The project would have: sidewalks with ADA- compliant horizontal clearance and curb ramps bike lanes for clearly - designated separate area for bicyclists to improve safety by removing conflicts caused by sharing space with pedestrians on the sidewalk and vehicles in travel lanesparkway with trees and landscaping for shade and separation of pedestrians and people in wheelchairs from moving vehicles and bicycles relocated Pack Electric Bike Path (Maple Street Bike Trail) from crossing Warner Avenue in the vicinity of Rousselle Street to crossing at the Maple Street traffic light for safer street location additional vehicle lane in each direction to provide less congested movement of motorists and commercial goods. improved bus locations for transit riders improved lighting for vehicle and pedestrian safety Therefore, in compliance with the Complete Streets Act, this project would accommodate bicyclists, children, persons with disabilities, motorists, movers of commercial goods, pedestrians, users ofpublic transportation, and seniors. 6. Improve stormwater drainage and water quality. CEQA Statement of Overriding Considerations -4- Warner Avenue Improvements & Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Aug 2015 75B -33 EXHIBIT 4     City Council 20 – 65 4/21/2026 All of the street segments have undersized storm drains, except Grand Avenue to the railroad tracks. The project- related drainage system improvements significantly reduce flooding by increasing the capacity of underground storm drains. The project would include construction of Water Quality Management Plan Best Management Practices for site design, structural source control, and treatment control which would increase the quality of the stormwater and runoff that flows into the drainage system. IV. Conclusion The City of Santa Ana has balanced the project's benefits against the project's significant unavoidable impacts. For the abovementioned reasons, implementation of the Warner Avenue Improvements and Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue project would have environmental, economic, and social benefits that outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental impacts of the physical development, and those impacts, therefore, are considered acceptable in light of the project's benefits. The City finds that each of the benefits described above is an overriding consideration, independent of the other benefits, that warrants approval of the project notwithstanding the project's significant unavoidable impacts.

Introduction 1. 1 PURPOSE OF MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) provides the mitigation measures outlined in the Warner Avenue Improvements and Widening from Main Street to Grand Avenue Environmental Impact Report EIR), State Clearinghouse No. 2012101004. This MMRP fully complies with Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code that states: a) When making findings required by paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 21081 or when adopting a mitigated negative declaration pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) of Section 21080, the following requirements shall apply: 1) The public agency shall adopt a reporting or monitoring program for the changes made to the project or conditions of project approval, adopted in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment. The reporting or monitoring program shall be designed to ensure compliance during project implementation. For those changes which have been required or incorporated into the project at the request of a responsible agency or a public agency having jurisdiction by law over natural resources affected by the project, that agency shall, if so requested by the lead or responsible agency, prepare and submit a proposed reporting or monitoring program. f% 2) The lead agency shall specify the location and custodian of the documents or other material which constitute the record of proceedings upon which its decision is based. 1.2 PROJECT LOCATION, SETTING AND SURROUNDING LAND USES The project site is a one mile section of Warner Avenue between Main Street and Grand Avenue in the southwestern portion of the City of Santa Ana in central Orange County. The site consists of Warner Avenue between Main Street on the west and Grand Avenue on the east, along with all or portions of parcels along the north and south sides of Warner Avenue. Warner Avenue within the project limits is a four -lane road with variable curb -to -curb and right -of -way (ROW) widths. It has a median (striped not raised) in some segments and no median in other segments; therefore, this four -lane section of Warner Avenue is designed to accommodate up to 20,000 vehicles per day (LOS C). Currently there is 23,000 to 28,000 vehicles per day. Some segments of Warner Avenue within the project limits include a striped center turn lane while others do not. In some areas the sidewalk is directly adjacent to the street while parkways separate the sidewalk from the curb in other locations. Sidewalk widths vary from four to ten feet depending on the location; however some sections restrict pedestrian space to less than three feet wide between power poles and landscape shrubs or walls. Bike lanes are not provided along Warner Avenue within the project limits. Pacific Electric Bike Path (Maple Street Bike Trail) crosses Warner Avenue in the vicinity of Rousselle Street. The Union Pacific Rail Road (UPRR) rail corridor crosses Warner Avenue between Standard Avenue and Grand Avenue. Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) provides public transit services to the City as well as within the project area. Currently, OCTA has three bus routes servicing the project area (Bus Route 53 servicing Anaheim through Irvine via Main Street, Bus Route 585 servicing Santa Ana through Newport Beach via Standard Avenue, Bus Route 72 servicing Sunset Beach through Tustin via Warner Avenue, and Bus Route 463 servicing Santa Ana via Grand Avenue). Land uses along Warner Avenue within the project limits include a mixture of commercial, residential, and industrial uses.

Introduction 1.3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project would improve and widen Warner Avenue from Main Street to Grand Avenue, from the existing variable ROW to a consistent 110 -foot ROW. Warner Avenue would have six traffic lanes, raised landscaped median, bike lanes, parkways, and sidewalks. The project would also include replacement of existing storm drains with larger storm drains, and the undergrounding of existing utilities along the project segment. The project requires City acquisition of 35 full parcels and a portion of 27 parcels (based on assessor parcel number). Note that multiple APN's comprise some single properties and that one property may have multiple businesses or addresses. Based on Draft Relocation Impact Statement (property ownership records) the total acquisition would be 34 full and 22 partial properties.. 4A fit. 101Jh7IWk if, TWIi IJsCr*J y 1.4.1 Impacts Considered Less Than Significant The following environmental topics were determined to have less than significant impacts.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes DISCUSSION The United States Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency, has developed the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI), a funding program designed to enhance the ability of major urban areas to prepare for and respond to terrorism and other security threats. This initiative strengthens domestic preparedness by ensuring that UASI funded training programs provide first responders with the equipment and training they need to prevent, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism. Designated as an Urban Area Core City since 2003, Santa Ana serves as the fiduciary for the region for selected grant years, overseeing grant-funded projects, including the procurement of training, exercises, and equipment for the 34 jurisdictions in Orange County. In an effort to address the unique needs of a high-density, high-threat urban area, the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area (ASAUA) allocates a set percentage of its annual grant allocation to fund training for the Orange County region. With program management from the Santa Ana Police Department Homeland Security Division, the ASAUA Homeland Security Regional Training Program is designed to provide the ASAUA multi- disciplinary stakeholders with regional training necessary to meet the goals and     City Council 21 – 1 4/21/2026 Urban Area Security Initiative Grant Training Services April 21, 2026 Page 2 5 7 1 5 objectives set forth in the ASAUA's homeland security strategy and target capabilities identified in the Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA). The goal of these agreements is to enhance the capabilities of the current program by providing access to a wide range of multi-disciplinary training in support of a comprehensive and regional approach. Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 25-151A was issued on December 23, 2025 on the City’s online bid management and publication system.

Staff recommends awarding an agreement to the highest-ranked firm, Elite Command Training Corporation (Exhibit 1). The addition of Elite Command Training Corporation as a vendor will support the Homeland Security Training Program to enhance capabilities across multiple jurisdictions. Elite Command Training will provide L-960 All Hazards Position Specific Division/Group Supervisor courses at $8,989 per offering in an amount not to exceed $89,890 over the course of grant years FY2024, FY2025, and FY2026.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action. FISCAL IMPACT Funding is available in the current FY 2025-26 budget and funding for subsequent fiscal years will be included in the proposed budgets and carryovers for City Council consideration as follows: Fiscal Year Account Unit – Account # Fund Description Accounting Unit, Account Description Amount FY 25-26 12514491-62300 OES UASI UASI CAL OES Anaheim, Contract Services- Professional $8,989 Total $8,989     City Council 21 – 2 4/21/2026 Urban Area Security Initiative Grant Training Services April 21, 2026 Page 3 5 7 1 5 The account number may change in the future to No.12514407-62300, depending upon which UASI grant fiscal year funds are used for these specific training projects.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No DISCUSSION The United States Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency, has developed the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI), a funding program designed to enhance the ability of major urban areas to prepare for and respond to terrorism and other security threats. This initiative strengthens domestic preparedness by ensuring that UASI funded training programs provide first responders with the equipment and training they need to prevent, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism. Designated as an Urban Area Core City since 2003, Santa Ana serves as the fiduciary for the region for selected grant years, overseeing grant-funded projects, including the procurement of training, exercises, and equipment for the 34 jurisdictions in Orange County. In an effort to address the unique needs of a high-density, high-threat urban area, the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area (ASAUA) allocates a set percentage of its annual grant allocation to fund training for the Orange County region. With oversight from the Santa Ana Police Department Homeland Security Division, the ASAUA Homeland Security Regional Training Program is designed to provide the ASAUA stakeholders with     City Council 22 – 1 4/21/2026 UASI Cal OES Homeland Security Training Program Support Services April 21, 2026 Page 2 5 7 1 6 regional training necessary to meet the goals and objectives set forth in the ASAUA' s homeland security strategy and target capabilities identified in the Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA). The goal of these agreements is to enhance the capabilities of the current program by providing access to a wide range of training in support of a comprehensive and regional approach. Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 2-807(a,e), authorizes the City to make non-bid purchases of services, supplies, materials, and equipment whenever it shall appear that there is only one reasonably available source. Staff researched available procurement options and product offerings in the market and determined that the training offered by the Cal OES, through the CSTI, meets the Police Department’s specifications. Per Cal OES, CSTI is the “sole authorized presenter” of the specific courses within California authorized to issue state-level certification for completed training. Staff recommends awarding an agreement with Cal OES (Exhibit 1). CSTI as a vendor will support the Homeland Security Training Program to enhance capabilities across multiple disciplines and jurisdictions. California Specialized Training Institute will provide Emergency Management course (EMC- Emergency Management Concepts), Criminal Justice course (T1 Terrorism 1: International Terrorism), Criminal Justice course (T2 Terrorism 2: Domestic Terrorism), and Criminal Justice course (T3 Terrorism 3: Advanced Counterterrorism Strategies) in the total amount not to exceed $249,500 over the course of grant years FY2024, FY2025, FY2026, and FY2027. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action. FISCAL IMPACT Funding is available in the current FY 2025-26 budget and funding for subsequent fiscal years will be included in the proposed budgets and carryovers for City Council consideration as follows: Fiscal Year Account Unit – Account # Fund Description Accounting Unit, Account Description Amount FY 25-26 12514491-62300 OES UASI UASI CAL OES Anaheim, Contract Services- Professional $25,000 Total $25,000 The account number may change in the future to no.12514407-62300, depending upon which UASI grant FY funds are used for these specific training projects.

Adopt a resolution authorizing the purchase agreement between Santa Ana Police Corporal Patrick Marshall and the City of Santa Ana for the sale of a retired Santa Ana Police Department K-9. RESOLUTION NO. 2026-XXX entitled A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AUTHORIZING THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN CORPORAL PATRICK MARSHALL AND THE CITY OF SANTA ANA RELATING TO THE PURCHASE OF A POLICE K-9 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a purchase agreement with Santa Ana Police Corporal Patrick Marshall the sale of a retired Police Department K-9 in the amount of $1 (Agreement No. A-2026-XXX). GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes DISCUSSION The Santa Ana Police Department (SAPD) Narcotics Unit utilizes a narcotics detection dog trained to assist with narcotics investigations, serving as a valuable tool in narcotics interdiction efforts. The police narcotics detection dog is used in narcotics investigations, car stops, and search warrant service to help officers and detectives locate and seize narcotics during criminal investigations. In addition to enforcement duties, the police narcotics detection dog performs public relations activities that enhance the Police Department’s community engagement efforts. During public events, community members are able to “meet and greet” the police narcotics detection dog and observe simulations of narcotics finds.     City Council 23 – 1 4/21/2026 Resolution and Agreement for Police Department K-9 Poppy April 21, 2026 Page 2 5 7 1 2 K-9 Poppy served SAPD for approximately five years. Poppy is an 8-year-old Labrador Retriever and the average retirement age for a narcotics detection dog is 8-10 years of age, dependent on multiple factors. At this time, Poppy’s overall performance has shown a noticeable decline. Despite consistent maintenance training and handler-led reinforcement, her engagement levels and search intensity no longer meet operational standards required for a full-duty narcotics detection dog. The training staff at Adlerhorst International evaluated Poppy and recommend retirement based on their observations. At her age and physical condition, it would be impractical to keep her in service as a K-9 team with Corporal Patrick Marshall. During their assignment as a narcotics detection K-9 team, Poppy has lived with Corporal Marshall. As Poppy retires, Corporal Marshall wishes to purchase Poppy for the standard fee of one dollar ($1). Police Corporal Marshall will assume ownership and full responsibility for the care, maintenance, food, housing, medical, and any other expenses that arise out of Corporal Marshall’s ownership of Poppy. In order to provide a consistent home and care for K-9 Poppy, it is recommended that the agreement between Corporal Marshall and the City of Santa Ana be approved. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action. FISCAL IMPACT The City will deposit the one dollar ($1) payment from Corporal Marshall for the purchase of K-9 Poppy into the Police Department’s Miscellaneous Reimbursement revenue account (No. 01114002-57402).

The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. WHEREAS, Corporal Patrick Marshall ("Officer'') is a police officer with the Santa Ana Police Department (“SAPD”) and was assigned to the Canine Unit as a K-9 officer; and B. WHEREAS, The Santa Ana Police Department Narcotics Unit utilizes a narcotics detection dog trained to assist with narcotics investigations, serving as a valuable tool in narcotics interdiction efforts including narcotics investigations, car stops, and search warrant service to help officers and detectives locate and seize narcotics during criminal investigations; and C. WHEREAS, the police narcotics detection dog performs public relations activities that enhances the Police Department’s community engagement efforts. During public events, community members are able to “meet and greet” the police narcotics detection dog and observe simulations of narcotics finds; and D. WHEREAS, the City assigned a dog named Poppy to be used in the K-9 Unit and Poppy was assigned to Officer; and E. WHEREAS, Poppy served SAPD for approximately 5 years as a narcotics detection dog and is now 8 years old; and F. WHEREAS, the average retirement age for a narcotics detection dog is 8-10 years old and due to her age and current physical condition, it would be impractical to reassign Poppy or place her back in service; and G. WHEREAS, Officer has requested permission to purchase Poppy; and the City is agreeable to selling Poppy to Officer due to their relationship. Section 2. The City has declared Poppy to be surplus property and due to the nature of Officer's relationship with Poppy, the City Council authorizes the City Manager to enter into an Agreement with Officer on behalf of the City to sell Poppy for $1.00 (one- dollar) under terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney.

Legal notice published in the OC Reporter on April 10, 2026. RECOMMENDED ACTION Conduct a second reading and adopt an ordinance approving Amendment Application No. 2026-02. ORDINANCE NO. NS-3093 entitled AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING AMENDMENT APPLICATION NO. 2026-02 AMENDING THE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 2101 AND 2109 EAST SANTA CLARA AVENUE (APNS: 396-261-26 AND 396-261-38) FROM GENERAL AGRICULTURAL (A-1) TO ARTERIAL COMMERCIAL (C-5), read by title only and waived further reading. GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes DISCUSSION On April 7, 2026, City Council conducted a first reading of an ordinance, Amendment Application No. 2026-02, to change the zoning district designation of two properties located at 2101 and 2109 East Santa Clara Avenue from General Agricultural (A-1) to Arterial Commercial (C-5). The ordinance was approved unanimously and requires a second reading and adoption to become effective May 21, 2026. A copy of the ordinance for second reading is attached to this Report as Exhibit 1. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the Project is not subject to additional environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, as it is within the scope of the 2022 City of Santa Ana     City Council 24 – 1 4/21/2026 AA No. 2026-02 for 2101 and 2109 East Santa Clara Avenue Zone Change – Second Reading April 21, 2026 Page 2 5 7 2 0 General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (SCH No. 2020029087), which was certified in conjunction with adoption of the General Plan Update. Section 15162 prohibits preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR unless substantial changes are proposed to the project, substantial changes occur in the circumstances under which the project is undertaken, or new information of substantial importance becomes available that was not known and could not have been known at the time the prior EIR was certified. The proposed zone change is a City-initiated corrective action that aligns zoning with the GC land use designation adopted through the 2022 General Plan Update and does not authorize any new development, construction, or change in intensity beyond what was previously analyzed in the General Plan EIR. The land use designation and development assumptions associated with the proposed zoning were fully evaluated in the certified General Plan EIR. No substantial changes to the project, no changes in circumstances, and no new information requiring major revisions to the EIR have been identified. Accordingly, no subsequent or supplemental EIR is required pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. In addition, the proposed zoning amendment is exempt from further environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (the “Common Sense Exemption”), as it can be determined with certainty that the action will not result in a significant effect on the environment. The zone change is administrative and policy-implementing in nature, serves to maintain consistency between the Zoning Code and the General Plan pursuant to Government Code Section 65860, and does not, by itself, enable or approve physical development. Any future development would be subject to separate discretionary review and project-level CEQA analysis, as applicable. Therefore, the environmental effects of the proposed action have already been adequately analyzed in the 2022 General Plan EIR, and no further environmental review is required. A Notice of Determination and Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2026-05, will be filed for the project. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. EXHIBIT(S) 1.

NS-XXXX AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING AMENDMENT APPLICATION NO. 2026-02 AMENDING THE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 2101 AND 2109 EAST SANTA CLARA AVENUE (APNS: 396-261-26 AND 396-261-38) FROM GENERAL AGRICULTURAL (A1) TO ARTERIAL COMMERCIAL (C5) THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. The Planning and Building Agency (“PBA”) is requesting approval of Amendment Application (AA) No. 2026-02, to change the zoning district designation of two properties located at 2101 and 2109 East Santa Clara Avenue (APNs 396-261-26 and 396-261-38) from General Agricultural (A1) to Arterial Commercial (C5) (“Project”). B. Chapter 41, Article I, Division 1, Section 41-1 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code establishes that because of the necessity of segregating the location of residences, businesses, trades and industries; regulating the use of buildings, structures, and land; and regulating the location, height, bulk and size of buildings and structures, the size of yards and open spaces, the City is divided into land-use districts of such number, shape and area as may be considered best suited to carry out these regulations and provide for their enforcement. The regulations are considered necessary in order to: encourage the most appropriate use of land, conserve and stabilize property value, provide adequate open spaces for light and air and to prevent and fight fires, prevent undue concentration of population, lessen congestion on streets and highways, and promote the health, safety and general welfare of the people, all as part of the general plan of the City. The City of Santa Ana has adopted a zoning map which has since been amended from time to time. C. On April 19, 2022, the City adopted the General Plan Update , which went into effect on May 26, 2022. As a result of the 2022 General Plan Update, the subject properties were designated General Commercial (GC) under the General Plan. However, the underlying zoning remained A1, creating an inconsistency between the General Plan and the Zoning Code. D. Government Code Section 65860, first enacted in the early 1970s as part of California’s Planning and Zoning Law, requires local zoning ordinances to align with adopted General Plans, establishing the General Plan as the foundational policy document for land use decisions. Cities must amend inconsistent zoning within a reasonable time after General Plan     City Council 24 – 3 4/21/2026 Ordinance No. NS-XXXX Page 2 of 6 amendments. In 2023, AB 821 strengthened these requirements effective January 1, 2024, by imposing firm timelines, such as 180 days to amend zoning for consistent development applications and clarifying that outdated zoning cannot block General Plan-compliant projects. E. The Project is not tied to any development project application and is being initiated by the City to bring the zoning of the subject properties into consistency with the City’s General Plan, in accordance with Government Code Section 65860, which requires that zoning regulations be consistent with the adopted General Plan. The zone change is a corrective, policy- implementing action intended to resolve the existing inconsistency between land use policy and zoning regulations and does not authorize any specific development project. No construction, demolition, or change in use is proposed as part of the Project. F. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented, the City Council finds that the Project aligns with the City’s General Plan long-term land use vision and development policies and reflects community goals related to growth, livability, and economic vitality (Goal LU-1; Policy LU-1.1). The proposed C5 zoning amendment is consistent with the GC land use designation and satisfies Government Code Section 65860, which requires zoning regulations to be compatible with General Plan objectives, policies, and land use designations. The GC designation is intended to accommodate highly visible, arterial-oriented commercial uses that support employment, local-serving retail, and complementary commercial activities near established residential neighborhoods (Goal L U-2; Policies LU-2.1 and LU- 2.2). The proposed zone change resolves the zoning inconsistency created by the 2022 GPU and supports reinvestment and business development consistent with the surrounding commercial corridor (Policies LU-2.6 and LU- 2.7). By aligning zoning with adopted land use policy, the amendment promotes compatibility with adjacent development and preserves neighborhood integrity through the future application of City design and development standards (Goal LU-3; Policies LU-3.4 and LU-3.7). Any future development would be subject to applicable City review processes to ensure compatible scale, massing, and site design, contributing to a safe, attractive, and economically viable commercial environment. The proposed zoning amendment is also consistent with the General Plan’s Economic Prosperity goals related to job creation and retention (Goal EP -1; Policy EP-1.2), economic diversification and support for high -growth and complementary businesses (Goal EP-2; Policies EP-2.1 and EP-2.3), and the promotion of a business-friendly environment that facilitates investment and balanced land use decisions (Goal EP -3; Policies EP-3.7 and EP-3.8). By resolving existing zoning inconsistencies and enabling commercial     City Council 24 – 4 4/21/2026 Ordinance No. NS-XXXX Page 3 of 6 activation of underutilized land along an arterial corridor, the proposed zone change supports long-term economic vitality, employment opportunities, and fiscally productive land uses consistent with the adopted General Plan. G. On February 23, 2026, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing and voted to recommend that the City Council adopt an ordinance approving Amendment Application No. 2026-02. H. On April 7, 2026, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a duly noticed public hearing to consider all testimony, written and oral, related to AA No. 2026-02, at which time all persons wishing to testify were heard, the Project was fully considered, and all other legal prerequisites to the adoption of this amendment occurred. I. For the reasons contained herein, and each of them, Amendment Application No. 2026-02 is hereby found and determined to be consistent with the intent and purpose of Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code; thus, changing the zoning district is found to be consistent with the General Plan of the City of Santa Ana and is otherwise justified by the public necessity, convenience, and general welfare. Section 2. The Amendment Application consists of amendments to the Zoning Map, as shown in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Section 3. The City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the analysis performed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines. In accordance with CEQA Section 15162, the Project is not subject to additional environmental review, as it is within the scope of the 2022 Santa Ana General Plan EIR (SCH No. 2020029087), which was certified in conjunction with adoption of the General Plan Update. Section 15162 prohibits preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR unless substantial changes are proposed to the project, substantial changes occur in the circumstances under which the project is undertaken, or new information of substantial importance becomes ava ilable that was not known and could not have been known at the time the prior EIR was certified . The proposed zone change is a City-initiated corrective action that aligns zoning with the GC land use designation adopted through the 2022 General Plan Update and does not authorize any new development, construction, or change in intensity beyond what was previously analyzed in the General Plan EIR. The land use designation and development assumptions associated with the proposed zoning were fully evaluated in the certified General Plan EIR. In the 2022 General Plan, the parcels were re-designated General Commercial (GC), which encompasses commercial zoning districts intended for highly visible and accessible shopping opportunities along arterial corridors, such as C -5, supporting a range of retail, service, recreational, cultural, business, and educational uses. No substantial changes to the project, no changes in circumstances, and no new information requiring major revisions to the EIR have been identified. Accordingly, no subsequent or supplemental EIR is required pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162.     City Council 24 – 5 4/21/2026 Ordinance No. NS-XXXX Page 4 of 6 In addition, the proposed zoning amendment is exempt from further environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (the “Common Sense Exemption”), as it can be seen with certainty that the action will not result in a significant effect on the environment. The zone change is administrative and policy-implementing in nature, serves to maintain consistency between the Zoning Code and the General Plan pursuant to Government Code Section 65860, and does not, by itself, enable or approve physica l development. Any future development would be subject to separate discretionary review and project-level CEQA analysis, as applicable. Therefore, the environmental effects of the proposed action have already been adequately analyzed in the 2022 General Pl an EIR, and no further environmental review is required. A Notice of Determination and Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2026 -05, will be filed for the Project Section 4. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana, after conducting the public hearing, hereby approves Amendment Application No. 202 6-02 to change the zoning designation of the properties located at 2101 and 2109 E ast Santa Clara Avenue (APN: 396-261-26 and 396-261-38) from A1 to C5. This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at the above said hearing, which includes, but is not limited to: the Request for Planning Commission Action dated February 2 3, 2026, the Request for Council Action dated April 7, 2026, and exhibits attached hereto; and the public testimony, written and oral, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference. Section 5. An amended Sectional District Map, showing the above described changes in use district designation, is hereby approved and attached hereto as Exhibit A, and incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein. Section 6. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional. Section 7. This Ordinance shall become effective thirty (30) days after its adoption. Section 8. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this ordinance and shall cause the same to be published as required by law. ADOPTED this day of , 2026.

The development would require demolition of three existing single-family residences and construction of twelve (12) single-family homes and a two-story, approximately 3,500-square-foot temple (“Project”). A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) were prepared to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of the Project and serve as the primary California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) document for all discretionary actions associated with Project implementation. Planning Commission Action On March 9, 2026, the Planning Commission held a public hearing for the Project and voted 6:0:1 (Commissioner Oliva absent) to recommend that the City Council: (1) adopt Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (SCH No. 2026010220); (2) adopt an ordinance approving Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2026-02; (3) approve a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2026-03; and (4) approve a resolution approving Tentative Tract Map No. 2026-01 (County Map No. 19332).     City Council 25 – 2 4/21/2026 ZOA No. 2026-02, CUP No. 2026-03, and TTM No. 2026-01 – Bella Terra Residential Community and Temple at 4006, 4010, and 4018 West Hazard Avenue April 21, 2026 Page 3 5 6 7 1 DISCUSSION Background and Context The earliest available aerial imagery, dated 1947, indicates that the Project site was first developed as part of a larger orchard, with no buildings or structures present at that time. The surrounding area was primarily used for agricultural purposes, with scattered residences and farm-related buildings in the vicinity. The Project site is currently comprised of three parcels developed with three single-family residences, constructed individually between approximately 1949 and 1953. Historic aerial imagery shows that the residences remained surrounded by orchard trees and agricultural uses throughout the 1950s, after which the area gradually transitioned to residential development. On August 7, 1989, the Santa Ana City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-2019, rezoning the properties at 4006, 4010, and 4018 West Hazard Avenue from the Single- Family Residence (R1) zoning district to Specific Development District No. 53 (SD-53). The SD-53 zone was established to allow the development of up to 17 single-family detached dwelling units served by a private cul-de-sac street, with site-specific land use standards and regulations. The purpose of SD-53 was to provide flexibility from conventional lot size requirements to reflect existing residential patterns, promote quality site design, and respond to housing market conditions at the time, including the limitations of the 6,000-square-foot minimum lot size adopted in 1960. However, the site was never developed in accordance with the permitted uses or design standards of the SD-53 zoning district, and the properties remain unimproved. The Applicant submitted Development Project Review No. 2023-03 on January 23, 2023, proposing to modify SD-53 development standards, establish a place of worship, and subdivide the Project site to construct 12 single-family residences with associated site improvements. Following multiple project revisions and completion of the Project’s environmental analysis, the Development Project Review application was approved on December 16, 2025. Applications for Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2026-02, Conditional Use Permit No. 2026-03, and Tentative Tract Map No. 2026-01 were deemed complete on January 5, 2026. Project Description The Project site consists of three contiguous parcels totaling approximately 2.5 acres, located at 4006, 4010, and 4018 West Hazard Avenue, between La Vergn Way to the east and Morse Drive to the west. Currently, the site contains three approximately 1,500- square-foot, single-story single-family detached residences, one of which is vacant, with associated detached garages, accessory structures, and areas of dirt and asphalt concrete paving. The proposed Project includes demolition of the three existing residential structures and associated improvements to construct 12 new two-story single-     City Council 25 – 3 4/21/2026 ZOA No. 2026-02, CUP No. 2026-03, and TTM No. 2026-01 – Bella Terra Residential Community and Temple at 4006, 4010, and 4018 West Hazard Avenue April 21, 2026 Page 4 5 6 7 1 family homes and a two-story, 3,500-square-foot temple for the Cao Dai faith. The discretionary actions required for implementation of the Project include: (1) a Zoning Ordinance Amendment to amend Specific Development No. 53 (SD-53) to update permitted uses and development standards to allow a place of worship as a conditionally permitted use; (2) a Conditional Use Permit to allow establishment of the place of worship; and (3) a Tentative Tract Map to subdivide the property into fee-simple lots. The following sections describe the proposed Project and associated discretionary actions in further detail.

It also revises prior residential development standards, introduces new landscaping standards (which were not included in the original SD-53), and establishes standards for the religious facility, accessory features (e.g., entry gate), walls and fences, and parking. Additional detail regarding the current and proposed text regulations is provided in Exhibit 6. Site Planning The site is proposed to be subdivided into 14 lots, consisting of 12 residential lots, one private street lot, and one lot for the temple. The site layout aligns with the general configuration of the 1989 site plan approved under Ordinance No. NS-2019, which features a private cul-de-sac extending to the site's southern property line. Compared to     City Council 25 – 4 4/21/2026 ZOA No. 2026-02, CUP No. 2026-03, and TTM No. 2026-01 – Bella Terra Residential Community and Temple at 4006, 4010, and 4018 West Hazard Avenue April 21, 2026 Page 5 5 6 7 1 the originally approved 17-unit configuration, the current proposal reduces the number of residential units to 12 by removing four units along the western portion of the site to accommodate the temple and its associated parking, and eliminating one additional unit near the cul-de-sac terminus to provide a common open space area. A shared driveway serves both the temple and adjacent residences. Construction of the Project is anticipated to occur in two phases. The western portion of the site is proposed to be developed first to accommodate the temple. Demolition activities are expected to begin in late summer 2026. Temple construction, including phased grading and site improvements, would follow and is anticipated to occur from late summer 2026 through summer 2027 (approximately 12 months). Construction of the remaining site improvements and the 12 single-family residences would then occur in a single phase from summer 2027 through summer 2028, resulting in an overall Project construction duration of approximately 24 months. Residential Component and Architecture The Project includes 12 residential lots ranging in size from approximately 3,461 to 5,158 square feet (5.75 dwelling units per acre (du/acre), consistent with the General Plan maximum of 11 du/acre). The lots will accommodate 12 two-story single-family residences designed in a modern Mediterranean architectural style and offered in four distinct floor plan models. Home sizes range from approximately 1,576 to 2,538 square feet and include two to four bedrooms and 2.5 to 3.5 bathrooms (see Table 2). Each residence provides an attached two-car garage and driveway space for two additional vehicles. Exterior finishes feature a palette of neutral tones complemented by stucco, brick, wood, and metal accents, with S-tile roofing and varied roof forms to enhance architectural articulation. Two models incorporate private second-floor balconies, further contributing to visual interest. Pursuant to SD-53 development standards, building heights may reach up to 26 feet; the tallest proposed residence is approximately 24 feet to the ridge line.

The temple will include a main worship hall, an upper-level private altar (not open to the public), and a covered perimeter walkway. The architectural design draws inspiration from traditional Cao Dai temple forms that blend Eastern and Western religious influences, incorporating Gothic-inspired towers and nave-like proportions alongside Asian pagoda elements. Exterior materials include clay roof tiles, stucco walls, decorative exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS) panels, and ornamental moldings accented with stone and concrete finishes. Distinctive features include twin front towers, pointed upturned rooflines clad in red shingles, exterior columns, and freestanding decorative entry gates approximately 18 feet in height. The structure will reach a maximum height of approximately 35 feet at its highest architectural element. The temple will accommodate religious worship, spiritual practice, and small-scale community gatherings for educational and cultural activities. Operations will occur at low- to-moderate intensity, primarily during daytime and early afternoon hours. On-site caretakers (maximum of two) will oversee activities Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with Sunday services from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for up to 16 attendees, plus four annual special events (February and September: approximately 30 participants each; August and November: approximately 60 participants each). Open Space and Landscaping The Project provides 55,566 square feet of open space (approximately 69% of the total net buildable site area). Approximately 2,000 square feet of common open space is provided at the cul-de-sac terminus, accessed via the private street sidewalk and featuring a decorative trellis, bench, and barbecue grill as amenities. As part of the Project, six existing ornamental trees will be removed and 40 new 24-inch box trees will be planted, distributed around the Project site. Landscape materials feature a hierarchy of trees, shrubs, and groundcover throughout the site, as shown in the Conceptual Landscape Plan (Exhibit 7). Yoshino cherry and evergreen Japanese black pine trees will be planted along Hazard Avenue and around the temple; on the east side of the private street, drought-tolerant shade-producing trees will be in the parkway fronting residences and a Honey locust in the common open space. Yoshino cherry trees will also be planted on the west side of the street in landscape islands between parallel parking space groupings with continuous star jasmine vine pockets screening the exposed block wall next to the parallel spaces and the temple’s proposed trash enclosure located off the private street. Conditions of approval will require the applicant to work with staff to review and select alternative shade-producing, drought-tolerant tree species to improve the project’s landscaping.     City Council 25 – 6 4/21/2026 ZOA No. 2026-02, CUP No. 2026-03, and TTM No. 2026-01 – Bella Terra Residential Community and Temple at 4006, 4010, and 4018 West Hazard Avenue April 21, 2026 Page 7 5 6 7 1 The proposed SD-53 amendment establishes residential landscaping standards mirroring the City’s Single-Family Residence (R1) zoning district requirements for front yard canopy shade-producing trees and shrubs; each residence includes rear yard private open space and will be required to comply with these front yard landscaping standards, with SD-53 prescribing timing for landscape plan approval and installation to accommodate individual owner design preferences post-sale. Circulation and Parking Vehicular access to the Project site is currently provided via two driveways along West Hazard Avenue. These will be replaced by a new two-way private street serving both temple and residential uses. The private street runs north-south through the site’s center, connecting to West Hazard Avenue and terminating in a cul-de-sac with adequate fire truck turnaround per applicable fire codes. It measures 47 feet wide from Hazard Avenue to the end of the temple parking area, then tapers to 28 feet at its narrow end. Sidewalks will line West Hazard Avenue and the private street to facilitate pedestrian circulation. Although only the portion of Morse Drive abutting the temple is part of the Project site (secured via easement for vehicular access), the Applicant has agreed to repave the entire length of Morse Drive from Hazard Avenue south to the private street end at a 42- foot width. The Project provides 72 total vehicle parking spaces (19 for the temple, including four ADA-compliant and two EV-compliant; 53 for residences, including 24 garage, 24 driveway, and five on-street spaces). Sidewalks will line West Hazard Avenue and the private street to facilitate pedestrian circulation. To proactively address any neighborhood parking impacts that could result from the Project, the conditions of approval for the CUP and TTM include provisions requiring the following parking management practices to be incorporated into the final, recorded covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs), and applicable throughout the life of the Project: Requiring onsite parking permits (such as stickers or hang-tags) for any parking in the surface guest parking spaces; Policies for maximum time vehicles may be parked in the surface guest spaces; Policies for towing unauthorized vehicles; vehicles parked in unauthorized locations, such as fire lanes; vehicles parking in surface guest parking without a sticker, hang-tag, or other identifiers; and vehicles parked longer than any maximum guest parking timeframes allowed; and Routine garage inspections to ensure garages are available for vehicle parking. Site Improvements The Project includes a covered trash enclosure and recycling storage area located at the temple's northeastern corner along the proposed private street. The enclosure will serve     City Council 25 – 7 4/21/2026 ZOA No. 2026-02, CUP No. 2026-03, and TTM No. 2026-01 – Bella Terra Residential Community and Temple at 4006, 4010, and 4018 West Hazard Avenue April 21, 2026 Page 8 5 6 7 1 the temple, while each residential lot will have its own individual bins for refuse, recycling, and organics collection. A seven-foot concrete masonry unit (CMU) wall will be constructed along the southern, eastern, and western perimeter property lines abutting residential properties, consistent with the existing wall. Two new streetlights will be installed along Hazard Avenue and the private street in compliance with City standards. Existing overhead utility lines and power poles along the Hazard Avenue frontage will be undergrounded. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment for the residences will be located within side yards, while the temple’s HVAC units will be screened on the roof of the structure. Project Analysis Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) The Project site is zoned Specific Development No. 53 (SD-53), adopted in 1989 and currently permitting only residential uses. The proposed amendment modernizes SD-53 by updating residential development standards and allowing places of worship as a conditionally permitted use, subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The amendment reduces the previously approved 17-unit subdivision to 12 single-family homes and establishes objective standards for height, setbacks, parking, and landscaping applicable to both residential and religious uses. These development standards ensure that future construction remains compatible with the scale and character of the surrounding residential neighborhood while providing clear regulatory parameters for site design. Allowing a place of worship through the CUP process provides an additional mechanism to allow discretionary review to evaluate site-specific operational characteristics and neighborhood compatibility, ensuring the use will not be detrimental to nearby properties. The proposed amendment is consistent with the Low-Medium Density Residential (LMR- 11) General Plan land use designation, which supports low-scale residential development and community-serving institutional uses. By facilitating context-sensitive infill development on an underutilized site, the amendment promotes efficient land use patterns while maintaining neighborhood character. Accordingly, the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment represents orderly and compatible growth within an established residential area. Conditional Use Permit The Conditional Use Permit request is to allow the establishment of a place of worship within the Specific Development No. 53 (SD-53) zoning district. The proposed temple is compatible with surrounding residential uses based on its scale, operational characteristics, and site design. Building height, setbacks, perimeter masonry walls, and landscaping provide appropriate buffering from adjacent properties and help maintain the neighborhood’s established character. Allowing the temple through the Conditional Use     City Council 25 – 8 4/21/2026 ZOA No. 2026-02, CUP No. 2026-03, and TTM No. 2026-01 – Bella Terra Residential Community and Temple at 4006, 4010, and 4018 West Hazard Avenue April 21, 2026 Page 9 5 6 7 1 Permit process provides continued regulatory oversight of operational characteristics, ensuring the use remains compatible with the surrounding residential neighborhood over time. The proposed temple is not expected to be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of those residing or working in the vicinity. The site design incorporates seven- foot CMU walls around the Project perimeter to buffer adjacent residences, and the building height is compatible with the neighborhood’s one- to two-story scale. Adequate on-site parking is provided, supplemented by parking management measures incorporated into the project’s CC&Rs as a condition of approval, while repaving of adjacent private Morse Drive and proximity to transit along Harbor Boulevard support safe and efficient access without overburdening local streets. Operational characteristics, including limited hours, modest assembly sizes, and infrequent special events, are intended to minimize potential impacts related to parking, traffic, noise, and neighborhood activity levels. The Project contributes to economic prosperity and stability by redeveloping underutilized 1940s-era homes into 12 market-rate, family-oriented residences and a community- serving temple, consistent with the site’s residential General Plan land use designation. Construction and long-term operation of the Project will generate property tax revenues, support construction employment, and provide ongoing private street and common-area maintenance through the homeowner’s association. The Project will not adversely affect the area’s economic stability because it reinvests in existing neighborhood fabric, maintains compatible residential character, and adds a local religious facility that supports neighborhood vitality. These improvements indirectly benefit the City’s economic stability while complementing surrounding land uses and reinforcing the long-term desirability of the community. Therefore, the proposed use will not detract from the economic stability or development potential of the area. The Project conforms to all applicable requirements of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) and has been designed to meet the proposed modifications to SD-53 development standards, including those for the temple’s height, setbacks, parking, landscaping, and gates. It also complies with all subdivision codes and other relevant City ordinances. As a mixed-use development, the Project is well-designed to integrate with the existing neighborhood, and its access and egress have been reviewed by the Public Works Agency for full regulatory compliance. Tentative Tract Map The Project site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed development. The approximately 2.5-acre site is proposed to be subdivided to accommodate a new religious temple, associated parking, a private street, and fee-simple residential lots with access from Hazard Avenue. The General Plan land use designation     City Council 25 – 9 4/21/2026 ZOA No. 2026-02, CUP No. 2026-03, and TTM No. 2026-01 – Bella Terra Residential Community and Temple at 4006, 4010, and 4018 West Hazard Avenue April 21, 2026 Page 10 5 6 7 1 is LMR-11, which permits up to 11 dwelling units per acre and a maximum building height of three stories. The proposed residential density does not exceed this limit. The place of worship component, proposed through a concurrent Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA No. 2026-02), is compatible with residential land use designations, as religious facilities are permitted subject to discretionary review in Santa Ana residential zoning districts. The design and improvements of the proposed Project will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. Since the Project is located in an urbanized area, there are no known fish or wildlife populations existing on the Project site. Therefore, the proposed subdivision will not cause any substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat. The design or improvements of the proposed project will not cause serious public health problems. The design or improvements of the proposed Project will not cause serious health problems, with the proposed subdivision not having any detrimental effects upon the general public. The property will include necessary utilities and infrastructure improvements as required under Development Project Review No. 2023-03. The design and improvements of the Project will not conflict with easements necessary for public access or use of the property within the Project. Easements for emergency vehicle access, public right-of-way dedication, and public utilities will be recorded with the subdivision. In addition, the CC&Rs will establish reciprocal access rights and maintenance responsibilities between properties. The installation of all utilities will conform with the requirements stated in Section 41-626 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. The conceptual design of all proposed construction for the property will not affect the right-of-way for road purposes. General Plan Consistency The Project and its design and improvements are consistent with the LMR-11 land use designation and supports several other goals and policies of the General Plan, advancing the City’s goals for responsible growth, diverse land use balance, neighborhood compatibility, and complete sustainable communities. The proposed residential and temple components foster compatible uses that enhance livability and homeownership opportunities while supporting mixed-use infill near transit along Harbor Boulevard (Goal LU-1; Policies LU-1.1, LU-1.2, LU-1.6). The integrated design provides supportive spaces for community gatherings through the temple and common open space (Goal LU-2; Policy LU-2.3), preserves neighborhood character with compatible and harmonious scale (Goal LU-3; Policies LU-3.1, LU-3.4), promotes a clean,     City Council 25 – 10 4/21/2026 ZOA No. 2026-02, CUP No. 2026-03, and TTM No. 2026-01 – Bella Terra Residential Community and Temple at 4006, 4010, and 4018 West Hazard Avenue April 21, 2026 Page 11 5 6 7 1 safe, and creative environment (Policy LU-3.7), and creates complete neighborhoods with complementary uses and housing types (Goal LU-4; Policies LU-4.1, LU-4.7). Located in an area primarily consisting of low-scale single-family and multi-family residential uses, the Project is designed to be context-sensitive with the immediate surroundings. This compatibility with surrounding residential scale advances Housing Element Goal HE-2 (Housing Supply and Diversity) and Policy HE-2.5 (Diverse Housing Types) by facilitating single-family homes alongside community facilities. This context- sensitive approach further aligns with Urban Design Element Goal UD-1 (Physical Character) and Policies UD-1.1 (Design Quality) and UD-2.2 (Compatibility with Setting) through high-quality materials, finishes, construction, buffers, and landscaping strategies. Public Notification and Community Outreach Project notifications were posted, published, and mailed in accordance with City and State regulations. Copies of the public notice, including a 2,000-foot notification radius map, and the site posting are provided in Exhibit 10 and consistent with all requirements. In addition, staff contacted the provided contacts for the Riverview West and Santa Anita Neighborhood Associations to ensure they were aware of the project and public hearing. No issues or concerns were identified during this outreach effort. Four verbal and written comments were received prior to and during the Planning Commission meeting, expressing concerns about increased traffic generated by the temple and potential overflow parking on Morse Drive, with one commenter stating opposition to the Project based on traffic-related impacts. In addition to the above noticing, the Project was subject to the City’s Sunshine Ordinance (Ordinance No. NS- 3040) requiring two meetings to facilitate early public participation. The first community meeting was held June 15, 2023. Eighteen members of the community attended and posed questions relating to stormwater, parking, traffic circulation, and temple operations. The second community meeting was held August 21, 2023, during which approximately the same number of participants as the first meeting attended and inquired about stormwater impacts, parking, improvements to Morse Drive, and clarification on the residential component. Materials from the two required community meetings and all materials were published to the project’s webpage on the City’s website at: santa- ana.org/bella-terra-residential-community-and-temple-4006-4018-west-hazard-avenue/ ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared for the Project. No areas of significance or unavoidable impacts were determined to occur from the construction or operation of the proposed Project with the implementation of mitigation measures (Exhibit 8). The MND was available for public review and comment for 30 days as required by CEQA between January 12 and February 13, 2026. One comment was received from the Department of Toxic Substances Control concerning potential hazardous materials,     City Council 25 – 11 4/21/2026 ZOA No. 2026-02, CUP No. 2026-03, and TTM No. 2026-01 – Bella Terra Residential Community and Temple at 4006, 4010, and 4018 West Hazard Avenue April 21, 2026 Page 12 5 6 7 1 building demolition, and imported soil management. A written response to the comment was prepared and incorporated into the environmental document. The Project requires adoption of a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP), which will reduce all identified impacts to less than significant with implementation of the MMRP. Based on the environmental checklist form completed for the proposed project and supporting environmental analysis, the Project would have no impact or a less than significant impact on the following environmental issue areas: Aesthetics, Agriculture and Forestry Resources, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Energy, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hydrology and Water Quality, Land Use and Planning, Mineral Resources, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Population and Housing, Public Services, Recreation, Transportation, Utilities and Service Systems, and Wildfire. The proposed project’s impacts on the following issue areas would be less than significant with the implementation of mitigation: Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Noise, Tribal Cultural Resources, and Mandatory Findings of Significance. All impacts would be less than significant after mitigation. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Determination, Environmental Review No. 2023-40 will be filed for this project. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. EXHIBITS 1. Ordinance approving Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2026-02 2. Resolution Approving CUP No. 2026-03 as conditioned 3.

NS-XXXX ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT NO. 2026-02 – AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT NO. 53 (SD-53) TO UPDATE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND ALLOW PLACES OF WORSHIP SUBJECT TO APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4006, 4010, AND 4018 WEST HAZARD AVENUE (APNS: 100-261-20, 100-261-19 AND 100-261-18) THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. On August 7, 1989, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-2019, rezoning the properties at 4006, 4010, and 4018 West Hazard Avenue (“Project Site”) from the Single-Family Residence (R1) zoning district to Specific Development No. 53 (SD-53). The Specific Development No. 53 (SD-53) zoning became effective on September 6, 1989. B. The City Council is considering Zoning Ordinance Amendment (“ZOA”) No. 2026- 02 to amend Specific Development No. 53 (SD-53) to update residential development standards and permit places of worship subject to approval of a conditional use permit. Related discretionary actions include Conditional Use Permit (“CUP”) No. 2026-03 to establish the place of worship and Tentative Tract Map (“TTM”) No. 2026-01 to subdivide the Project Site into 14 fee simple lots (“Project”). C. The Project Site has a General Plan land use designation of Low-Medium Density Residential (“LMR-11”) and is located within the Specific Development No. 53 (“SD-53”). D. The City Council finds that the public outreach requirements pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Section 2-153 (Sunshine Ordinance), have been satisfied, including required public notification, community meetings, and posting of meeting materials on the City’s website. E. An Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) was prepared for the Project. The IS/MND’s Notice of Intent (NOI) was posted to the County Clerk on January 12, 2026, for the required 30-day public comment period, between January 13, 2026, and February 12, 2026. The IS/MND was also made available for public view at the City Hall Planning counter, Santa Ana Southwest Senior Center and on the City website.     City Council 25 – 13 4/21/2026 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 2 of 10 F. In January 2023, the City received a proposal to modify the development potential of property within Specific Development No. 53 (SD-53) by reducing the permitted residential density and allowing a place of worship, together with the adoption of updated development standards. G. The proposed zoning ordinance amendment updates Specific Development No. 53 (SD-53) to reflect current development standards, recognizing that the 1989 conditions no longer fully apply to contemporary housing market demands and regulatory context, thereby enabling compatible infill development with additional fee-simple single-family lots on the Project Site. H. The proposed zoning ordinance amendment updates Specific Development No. 53 (SD-53) to reflect current development standards and regulatory requirements, thereby providing a clear and consistent framework for future development of the subject properties. I. The purpose of the zoning ordinance amendment is to amend SD -53 to establish updated development standards and permit places of worship subject to a conditional use permit. J. The City Council finds that Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2026-02 is consistent with the intent and purpose of Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code and with the General Plan of the City of Santa Ana, and that the amendment promotes the public health, safety, and general welfare. The proposed residential and temple components foster compatible uses that enhance livability and homeownership opportunities while supporting mixed -use infill near transit along Harbor Boulevard (Goal LU-1; Policies LU-1.1, LU-1.2, LU- 1.6). The integrated design provides supportive spaces for community gatherings through the temple and common open space (Goal LU-2; Policy LU-2.3), preserves neighborhood character with compatible and harm onious scale (Goal LU-3; Policies LU-3.1, LU-3.4), promotes a clean, safe, and creative environment (Policy LU-3.7), and creates complete neighborhoods with complementary uses and housing types (Goal LU-4; Policies LU-4.1, LU-4.7). Located in an area primarily consisting of low-scale single-family and multi-family residential uses, the Project is designed to be context-sensitive with the immediate surroundings. This compatibility with surrounding residential scale advances Housing Element Goal HE-2 (Housing Supply and Diversity) and Policy HE-2.5 (Diverse Housing Types) by facilitating single-family homes alongside community facilities. This context-sensitive approach further aligns with Urban Design Element Goal UD-1 (Physical Character) and Policies UD-1.1 (Design Quality) and UD-2.2 (Compatibility with Setting) through high -quality materials, finishes, construction, buffers, and landscaping strategies. K. The City Council finds that Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2026-02 is consistent with the goals, policies, and land use designations of the City of Santa Ana General Plan.     City Council 25 – 14 4/21/2026 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 3 of 10 L. On March 9, 2026, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing on Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2026 -02 and recommended that the City Council adopt the ordinance. M. On April 21, 2026, the City Council held a duly-noticed public hearing and considered the staff report, recommendations by staff, and public testimony concerning the proposed ordinance. Section 2. The recital above are each incorporated by reference and adopted as findings by the City Council. Section 3. The City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the analysis performed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Environmental Review No. 2023-25). Pursuant to the requirements of the CEQA, as amended (Section 21000 et. seq. of the Public Resources Code) and in accordance with the State CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, Section 15000 et. seq. of the California Code of Regulations), an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) were prepared for the Project. The purpose of the IS/MND is to describe the proposed project and to provide an evaluation of potential environmental impacts associated with the Project’s construction and operation. Moreover, the IS/MND evaluates the potential environmental impacts of project implementation; includes significance determinations from the environmental analyses; identifies regulatory requirements to be incorporated into the project; and sets forth mitigation measures that will lessen or avoid potentially significant project impacts on the environment. The City of Santa Ana is the Lead Agency for the Project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15367. The IS/MND and MMRP were circulated for public review in accordance with CEQA requirements, and the City Council has independently reviewed and considered the environmental documentation prior to taking action on this ordinance. The IS/MND concluded that implementation of the proposed zoning amendment and related Project approvals could result in potentially significant environmental impacts; however, with incorporation of the identified mitigation measures and compliance with applicable conditions of approval, all impacts would be reduced to a less -than-significant level. Possible impacts identified in the IS/MND include those related to Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Noise, Tribal Cultural Resources, and Mandatory Findings of Significance. With implementation of mitigation measures (MM) listed below, all potential impacts would be less than significant. • MM CUL-1: Prior to the issuance of the grading permit, the Project Applicant shall provide written evidence to the City that the Applicant has retained an Orange County-certified archaeologist to observe grading activities within previously undisturbed soils, and to salvage and catalogue archaeological resources as necessary. • MM GEO-1: Prior to commencement of earthmoving activities, the Project Applicant shall retain a qualified Orange County-certified Paleontologist for on-call services in the event of a discovery of     City Council 25 – 15 4/21/2026 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 4 of 10 paleontologically sensitive rock formations during ground disturbance activities. • MM NOI-1: Prior to commencement of the demolition phase of the Project construction, the Applicant shall erect a temporary noise barrier along the west and east Project site boundaries and along the north side of the residential property located at 14532 Morse Drive, with a minimum height of 10 feet above grade, continuous with no gaps, and constructed of materials with sufficient mass to effectively reduce construction noise levels at adjacent residential receptors. • MM NOI-2: The Applicant shall require that all construction contractors restrict the operation of vibratory rollers and other vehicles with a weight greater than 24 tons to locations at least 25 feet from off-site buildings; lighter equipment may be used within this distance. • MM TCR-1: Prior to the commencement of any ground-disturbing activity, the Project applicant/lead agency shall retain a Native American Monitor from or approved by the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians–Kizh Nation to monitor all ground-disturbing activities at on-site and off-site Project locations, with daily monitoring logs prepared and monitoring continuing until the Kizh and City agree it is no longer necessary. • MM TCR-2: Upon discovery of any Tribal Cultural Resources, all construction activities in the immediate vicinity (not less than 50 feet) shall cease until the Kizh monitor and/or Kizh archaeologist has assessed the find; the Tribe shall recover and retain all Tribal Cultural Resources in a manner it deems appropriate. • MM TCR-3: Upon discovery of any Native American human remains and associated funerary or ceremonial objects, all work shall cease, the County Coroner and Native American Heritage Commission procedures pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98 and Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 shall be followed, preservation in place shall be the preferred treatment, and confidentiality of the discovery shall be maintained. The IS/MND’s analysis determined that the above -mentioned environmental categories would cause no substantial adverse change to the en vironment with the inclusion of the enforceable mitigation measures, that would be adopted by the City. Based on the whole of the administrative record, including the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration, and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, the City Council finds that the proposed Project will not have a significant effect on the environment with implementation of the adopted mitigation measures, and hereby adopts the IS/MND and MMRP in conjunction with approval of this tract ordinance. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Determination, Environmental Review No. 2023 -25 will be filed for this Project. Section 4. The Applicant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, authorized volunteers, and instrumentalities thereof, harmless from any and all claims, demands,     City Council 25 – 16 4/21/2026 Ordinance No. NS-XXX Page 5 of 10 lawsuits, writs of mandamus, and other proceedings (whether legal, equitable, declaratory, administrative or adjudicatory in nature), and alternative dispute resolution procedures (including, but not limited to arbitrations, mediations, and such other procedures), judgments, orders, and decisions (collectively “Actions”), brought against the City and/or any of its officials, officers, emp loyees, agents, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof, that challenge, attack, or seek to modify, set aside, void, or annul, any action of, or any permit or approval issued by the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof (including actions approved by the voters of the City) for or concerning the Project, whether such Actions are brought under the Ralph M.

The City Council finds that the public outreach requirements pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Section 2-153 (Sunshine Ordinance), have been satisfied, including required public notification, community meetings, and posting of meeting materials on the City’s website. K. An Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) was prepared for the Project. The IS/MND's Notice of Intent (NOI) was posted to the County Clerk on January 12, 2026, for the required 30 -day public comment period, between January 13, 2026, and February 12, 2026. The IS/MND was also made available for public view at the City Hall Planning counter, Santa Ana Southwest Senior Center and on the City website. L. On March 9, 2026, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing on Conditional Use Permit No. 2026-03 and recommended that the City Council approve the Conditional Use Permit, subject to conditions. M. The City Council finds that the following findings required for approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2026-03 pursuant to Specific Development No. 53 (SD-53) and Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41 -638 are satisfied: 1. That the proposed use will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general well-being of the neighborhood or the community. The proposed place of worship provides a community-serving institutional use that contributes to the general well-being of the neighborhood by supporting the spiritual and cultural needs of area residents. The temple’s scale, operational characteristics, and site design allow it to function in a manner compatible with the surrounding residential neighborhood. Approval of the Conditional Use Permit provides continued regulatory oversight     City Council 25 – 24 4/21/2026 Resolution No. 2026-XX Page 3 of 12 of the use, ensuring ongoing compatibility over time. Accordingly, the proposed use offers a beneficial service to the community. 2. That the proposed use under the circumstances of the particular case will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. The proposed place of worship is not expected to be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. The temple has been designed with perimeter masonry walls, compatible height and scale, and adequate on-site parking to reduce potential land use conflicts. Operational characteristics, including limited hours of activity and modest assembly sizes, further ensure compatibility with the surrounding residential neighborhood, and approval of the Conditional Use Permit provides ongoing regulatory oversight to maintain that compatibility. Accordingly, and subject to compliance with the conditions of approval, the City Council finds that the use will not be detrimental to the surrounding area. 3. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area. The proposed place of worship will not adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of surrounding properties because it is a community-serving use that is compatible with the scale and character of the neighborhood. The temple’s design and operational characteristics reduce the potential for land use conflicts, thereby supporting the continued viability and development potential of nearby properties. Accordingly, the City Council finds that the use will not be detrimental to the economic stability of the area. 4. That the proposed use shall comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use. The proposed place of worship complies with the applicable provisions of the SAMC and the development standards of Specific Development No. 53 (SD-53), as proposed to be amended through Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2026-02. The Project has been designed to meet the regulations governing places of worship, including applicable standards related to height, setbacks, parking, and site design. Accord ingly, the City Council finds that the proposed use conforms to the regulatory requirements of Chapter 41 of the SAMC. 5. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan or any specific plan of the City.     City Council 25 – 25 4/21/2026 Resolution No. 2026-XX Page 4 of 12 The proposed place of worship is consistent with the Low- Medium Density Residential (LMR-11) land use designation and will not adversely affect the General Plan. Places of worship are community-serving institutional uses that may be permitted within residential areas subject to discretionary review. The proposed temple is a compatible use that enhances livability and supportings mixed-use infill near transit along Harbor Boulevard (Goal LU-1; Policies LU-1.1, LU-1.2, LU-1.6). The integrated design provides supportive spaces for community gatherings through the temple (Goal LU-2; Policy LU-2.3), preserves neighborhood character with compatible and harmonious scale (Goal LU-3; Policies LU-3.1, LU-3.4), promotes a clean, safe, and creative environment (Policy LU-3.7), and creates complete neighborhoods with complementary uses (Goal LU-4; Policies LU-4.1, LU-4.7). Located in an area primarily consisting of low-scale single-family and multi-family residential uses, the religious temple is designed to be context-sensitive with the immediate surroundings. This context-sensitive approach further aligns with Urban Design Goal UD-1; and Policies UD-1.1 (Design Quality) and UD-2.2 (Compatibility with Setting) through high-quality materials, finishes, construction, buffers, and landscaping st rategies. The temple’s scale, site design, and operational characteristics promote compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood and support the General Plan’s objectives related to neighborhood preservation and compatible land uses. Accordingly, the City Council finds that the proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and will not adversely affect its implementation. N. The effectiveness of Conditional Use Permit No. 2026 -03 is contingent upon the City Council’s adoption of Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2026-02, without which the proposed place of worship would not be permitted under the current zoning regulations. Section 2. Pursuant to the requirements of the CEQA, as amended (Section 21000 et. seq. of the Public Resources Code) and in accordance with the State CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, Section 15000 et. seq. of the California Code of Regulations), an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) were prepared for the Project. The purpose of the IS/MND is to describe the proposed Project and to provide an evaluation of potential environmental impacts associated with the Project’s construction and operation. Moreover, the IS/MND evaluates the potential environmental impacts of projec t implementation; includes significance determinations from the environmental analyses; identifies regulatory requirements to be incorporated into the project; and sets forth mitigation measures that will lessen or avoid potentially significant project imp acts on the environment.     City Council 25 – 26 4/21/2026 Resolution No. 2026-XX Page 5 of 12 The City of Santa Ana is the Lead Agency for the Project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15367. The IS/MND and MMRP were circulated for public review in accordance with CEQA requirements, and the City Council has independently reviewed and considered the environmental documentation prior to taking action on this ordinance. The IS/MND concluded that the Project could result in potentially significant environmental impacts; however, with incorporation of the i dentified mitigation measures and compliance with applicable conditions of approval, all impacts would be reduced to a less-than-significant level. Possible impacts identified in the IS/MND include those related to Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Noise, Tribal Cultural Resources, and Mandatory Findings of Significance. With implementation of mitigation measures (MM) listed below, all potential impacts would be less than significant • MM CUL-1: Prior to the issuance of the grading permit, the Project Applicant shall provide written evidence to the City that the Applicant has retained an Orange County-certified archaeologist to observe grading activities within previously undisturbed soils, and to salvage and catalogue archaeological resources as necessary. • MM GEO-1: Prior to commencement of earthmoving activities, the Project Applicant shall retain a qualified Orange County-certified Paleontologist for on-call services in the event of a discovery of paleontologically sensitive rock formations during ground disturbance activities. • MM NOI-1: Prior to commencement of the demolition phase of the Project construction, the Applicant shall erect a temporary noise barrier along the west and east Project site boundaries and along the north side of the residential property located at 14532 Morse Drive, with a minimum height of 10 feet above grade, continuous with no gaps, and constructed of materials with sufficient mass to effectively reduce construction noise levels at adjacent residential receptors. • MM NOI-2: The Applicant shall require that all construction contractors restrict the operation of vibratory rollers and other vehicles with a weight greater than 24 tons to locations at least 25 feet from off -site buildings; lighter equipment may be used within this distance. • MM TCR-1: Prior to the commencement of any ground -disturbing activity, the project applicant/lead agency shall retain a Native American Monitor from or approved by the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians–Kizh Nation to monitor all ground-disturbing activities at on-site and off-site Project locations, with daily monitoring logs prepared and monitoring continuing until the Kizh and City agree it is no longer necessary. • MM TCR-2: Upon discovery of any Tribal Cultural Resources, all construction activities in the immediate vicinity (not less than 50 feet) shall cease until the Kizh monitor and/or Kizh archaeologist has assessed the find; the Tribe shall recover and retain all Tribal Cultural Resources in a manner it deems appropriate. • MM TCR-3: Upon discovery of any Native American human remains and associated funerary or ceremonial objects, all work shall cease, the County Coroner and Native American Heritage Commission procedures pursuant     City Council 25 – 27 4/21/2026 Resolution No. 2026-XX Page 6 of 12 to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98 and Health and Safety Co de Section 7050.5 shall be followed, preservation in place shall be the preferred treatment, and confidentiality of the discovery shall be maintained. The IS/MND’s analysis determined that the above -mentioned environmental categories would cause no substantial adverse change to the environment with the inclusion of the enforceable mitigation measures, that would be adopted by the City. Based on the whole of the administrative record, including the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration, and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, the City Council finds that the proposed Project will not have a significant effect on the environment with implementation of the adopted mitigation measures, and hereby adopts the IS/MND and MMRP in conjunction with approval of this tentative tract map. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Determination, Environmental Review No. 2023-25, will be filed for this project. Section 3. This Resolution shall not be effective unless and until the City Council Ordinance for ZOA No. 2026-02 is adopted and becomes effective. If said Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise does not go into effect for any reason, then this Resolution shall be null and void and have no further force and effect. Section 4. The Applicant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, authorized volunteers, and instrumentalities thereof, harmless from any and all claims, demands, lawsuits, writs of mandamus, referendum, and other proceedings (whether legal, equitable, declaratory, administrative or adjudicatory in nature), and alternative dispute resolution procedures (including, but not limited to arbitrations, mediations, and such other procedures), judgments, orders, and decisions (collectively “Actions”), brought against the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof, that challenge, attack, or seek to modify, set aside, void, or annul, any action of, or any permit or approval issued by the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof (including actions approved by the voters of the City) for or concerning the Project, whether such Actions are brought under the Ralph M. Brown Act, California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning and Zoning Law, the Subdivision Map Act, Code of Civil Procedure sections 1085 or 1094.5, or any other federal, state or local constitution, statute, law, ordinance, charter, rule, regulation, or any decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. It is expressly agreed that the City shall have the right to approve the legal counsel providing the City’s defense, and that Applicant shall reimburse the City for any costs and expenses directly and necessarily incurred by the City in the course of the defense. City shall promptly notify the Applicant of any Action brought and City shall cooperate with Applicant in the defense of the Action. Section 5. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana, after conducting the public hearing, hereby approves CUP No. 2026-03, as conditioned in Exhibit A, to be effective upon the effective date of Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2026-02, attached hereto and incorporated herein.

The City Council is authorized to review and take action on     City Council 25 – 35 4/21/2026 Resolution No. 2026-XX Page 2 of 13 Tentative Tract Maps and related project approvals in accordance with these provisions. G. Pursuant to SAMC Section 34-127 and the Subdivision Map Act, approval of a Tentative Tract Map is required for projects proposing to create four or more parcels. The City Council is the decision -making authority for Tentative Tract Map No. 2026-01 in conjunction with its consideration of related Project entitlements. H. On January 23, 2023, the Applicant submitted a Development Project Review (DP) application for a subdivision to construct single-family residences and a place of worship. The application initiated the City’s formal review process for the Project in accordance with applicable provisions of the SAMC. I. On January 5, 2026, the Applicant submitted an application for Tentative Tract Map No. 2026-01 requesting approval to subdivide the Project Site into 14 fee-simple lots. J. The Project proposes redevelopment of the Project Site through demolition of existing structures and is intended to allow for the construction of a two- story Cao Dai temple in conjunction with a residential subdivision.

K. The City Council finds that the public outreach requirements pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Section 2-153 (Sunshine Ordinance), have been satisfied, including required public notification, community meetings, and posting of meeting materials on the City’s website. L. An Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) was prepared for the Project. The IS/MND’s Notice of Intent (NOI) was posted to the County Clerk on January 12, 2026, for the required 30-day public comment period, between January 13, 2026, and February 12, 2026. The IS/MND was also made available for public view at the City Hall Planning counter, Santa Ana Southwest Senior Center and on the City website. M. On March 9, 2026, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on Tentative Tract Map No. 2026-01 (County Map No. 19332) and recommended that the City Council approve the Tentative Tract Map, as conditioned. N. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana determines that the following findings, in accordance with Section 66473.5 and 66474 of the SMA and Section 34-127 of the SAMC, which must be established in order to approve TTM No. 2026-01 (County Map No. 19332), have been established:     City Council 25 – 36 4/21/2026 Resolution No. 2026-XX Page 3 of 13 1. The proposed project and its design and improvements are consistent with the General Plan land use designation and are otherwise consistent with all other Elements of the General Plan. The Project and its design and improvements are consistent with the Low Medium Density Residential (LMR-11) land use designation and supports several other goals and policies of the General Plan, advancing the City’s goals for responsible growth, diverse land use balance, neighborhood com patibility, and complete sustainable communities. The proposed residential and temple components foster compatible uses that enhance livability and homeownership opportunities while supporting mixed-use infill near transit along Harbor Boulevard (Goal LU-1; Policies LU-1.1, LU-1.2, LU-1.6). The integrated design provides supportive spaces for community gatherings through the temple and common open space (Goal LU-2; Policy LU-2.3), preserves neighborhood character with compatible and harmonious scale (Goal LU-3; Policies LU-3.1, LU-3.4), promotes a clean, safe, and creative environment (Policy LU-3.7), and creates complete neighborhoods with complementary uses and housing types (Goal LU-4; Policies LU-4.1, LU-4.7). Located in an area primarily consisting of low-scale single- family and multi-family residential uses, the Project is designed to be context-sensitive with the immediate surroundings. This compatibility with surrounding residential scale advances Housing Element Goal HE-2 (Housing Supply and Diversity) and Policy HE-2.5 (Diverse Housing Types) by facilitating single-family homes alongside community facilities. This context-sensitive approach further aligns with Urban Design Element Goal UD-1 (Physical Character) and Policies UD-1.1 (Design Quality) and UD-2.2 (Compatibility with Setting) through high-quality materials, finishes, construction, buffers, and landscaping strategies. 2. The proposed project conforms to all applicable requirements of the zoning and subdivision codes as well as other applicable City ordinances. The Project conforms to all applicable requirements of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) and has been designed to meet the proposed modifications to SD-53 development standards, including those for units, height, setbacks, parking, open space, and landscaping. It also complies with all subdivision codes and other relevant City ordinances. As a mixed-use development, the Project is well-designed to integrate with the existing neighborhood, and its access and     City Council 25 – 37 4/21/2026 Resolution No. 2026-XX Page 4 of 13 egress have been reviewed by the Public Works Agency for full regulatory compliance. 3. The project site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed project. The Project site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed development. The approximately 2.5-acre site is proposed to be subdivided to accommodate a temple, associated parking, a private street, and fee-simple residential lots with access from Hazard Avenue. The General Plan land use designation is Low-Medium Residential (LMR-11), which allows up to 11 dwelling units per acre and a maximum building height of three stories. The proposed residential density does not exceed this limit. The temple component, proposed through a concurrent Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA No. 2026- 02) and Conditional Use Permit, is compatible with residential land use designations such as LMR-11, where a place of worship may be permitted subject to discretionary review in accordance with the Santa Ana Municipal Code. 4. The design and improvements of the proposed project will not cause substantial environmental damage or su bstantially and avoidably injuries to fish or wildlife of their habitat. The design and improvements of the proposed Project will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. Since the project is located in an urbanized area, there are no known fish or wildlife populations existing on the Project site. Therefore, the proposed subdivision will not cause any substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat. The design or improvements of the proposed Project will not cause serious public health problems. The design or improvements of the proposed Project will not cause serious health problems, with the proposed subdivision not having any detrimental effects upon the general public. The property will include necessary utilities and infrastructure improvements as required under Development Project Review No. 2023-03. 5. The design or improvements of the proposed project will not conflict with easements necessary for public access through or use, of property within the proposed project. The design and improvements of the Project will not conflict with easements necessary for public access or use of the property within the Project. Easements for a new emergency     City Council 25 – 38 4/21/2026 Resolution No. 2026-XX Page 5 of 13 vehicle, public right-of-way dedication, and public utility easement will be recorded under the new subdivision. In addition, the covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) will ensure reciprocal access rights and maintenance agreements between properties. The installation of all utilities will conform with the requirements stated in Section 41-626 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. The conceptual design of all proposed construction for the property will not affect the right- of-way for road purposes. O. The effectiveness of Tentative Tract Map No. 2026 -01 is contingent upon the City Council’s adoption of Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2026-02, without which the proposed subdivision and place of worship and religious facility would not be permitted under the current zoning regulations. Section 2. Pursuant to the requirements of the CEQA, as amended (Section 21000 et. seq. of the Public Resources Code) and in accordance with the State CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, Section 15000 et. seq. of the C alifornia Code of Regulations), an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) were prepared for the Project. The purpose of the IS/MND is to describe the proposed Project and to provide an evaluation of potential environmental impacts associated with the Project’s construction and operation. Moreover, the IS/MND evaluates the potential environmental impacts of project implementation; includes significance determinations from the environme ntal analyses; identifies regulatory requirements to be incorporated into the project; and sets forth mitigation measures that will lessen or avoid potentially significant project impacts on the environment. The City of Santa Ana is the Lead Agency for the Project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15367. The IS/MND and MMRP were circulated for public review in accordance with CEQA requirements, and the City Council has independently reviewed and considered the environmental documentation prior to taking action on this ordinance. The IS/MND concluded that the Project could result in potentially significant environmental impacts; however, with incorporation of the id entified mitigation measures and compliance with applicable conditions of approval, all impacts would be reduced to a less-than-significant level. Possible impacts identified in the IS/MND include those related to Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Noise, Tribal Cultural Resources, and Mandatory Findings of Significance. With implementation of mitigation measures (MM) listed below, all potential impacts would be less than significant • MM CUL-1: Prior to the issuance of the grading permit, the Project Applicant shall provide written evidence to the City that the Applicant has retained an Orange County-certified archaeologist to observe grading activities within previously undisturbed soils, and to salvage and catalogue archaeological resources as necessary. • MM GEO-1: Prior to commencement of earthmoving activities, the Project Applicant shall retain a qualified Orange County-certified Paleontologist for on-call services in the event of a discovery of     City Council 25 – 39 4/21/2026 Resolution No. 2026-XX Page 6 of 13 paleontologically sensitive rock formations during groun d disturbance activities. • MM NOI-1: Prior to commencement of the demolition phase of the Project construction, the Applicant shall erect a temporary noise barrier along the west and east Project site boundaries and along the north side of the residential property located at 14532 Morse Drive, with a minimum height of 10 feet above grade, continuous with no gaps, and constructed of materials with sufficient mass to effectively reduce construction noise levels at adjacent residential receptors. • MM NOI-2: The Applicant shall require that all construction contractors restrict the operation of vibratory rollers and other vehicles with a weight greater than 24 tons to locations at least 25 feet from off -site buildings; lighter equipment may be used within this distance. • MM TCR-1: Prior to the commencement of any ground -disturbing activity, the Project applicant/lead agency shall retain a Native American Monitor from or approved by the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians–Kizh Nation to monitor all ground-disturbing activities at on-site and off-site Project locations, with daily monitoring logs prepared and monitoring continuing until the Kizh and City agree it is no longer necessary. • MM TCR-2: Upon discovery of any Tribal Cultural Resources, all construction activities in the immediate vicinity (not less than 50 feet) shall cease until the Kizh monitor and/or Kizh archaeologist has assessed the find; the Tribe shall recover and retain all Tribal Cultural Resources in a manner it deems appropriate. • MM TCR-3: Upon discovery of any Native American human remains and associated funerary or ceremonial objects, all work shall cease, the County Coroner and Native American Heritage Commission procedures pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98 and Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 shall be followed, preservation in place shall be the preferred treatment, and confidentiality of the discovery shall be maintained. The IS/MND’s analysis determined that the above -mentioned environmental categories would cause no substantial adverse change to the environment with the inclusion of the enforceable mitigation measures, that would be adopted by the City. Based on the whole of the administrative record, including the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration, and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, the City Council finds that the proposed Project will not have a significant effect on the environment with implementation of the adopted mitigation measures, and hereby adopts the IS/MND and MMRP in conjunction with approval of this tentative tract map. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Determination, Environmental Review No. 2023-25, will be filed for this Project. Section 3. This Resolution shall not be effective unless and until the City Council Ordinance for ZOA No. 2026-02 is adopted and becomes effective. If said Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise does not go into effect for any reason, then this Resolution shall be null and void and have no further force and effect.     City Council 25 – 40 4/21/2026 Resolution No. 2026-XX Page 7 of 13 Section 4.

No comments were received during the meeting.     City Council 26 – 1 4/21/2026 FY 2026-27 Annual Action Plan and Budgets for CDBG, HOME and ESG Programs April 21, 2026 Page 2 5 7 1 0 The CDC recommended approval of the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Annual Action Plan and budgets for the Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships Grant, and Emergency Solutions Grant to the City Council by a vote of 5:0. Every five years, the City of Santa Ana (City) must submit its Five-Year Consolidated Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to receive funding for the CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs. These federal funds provide for the development of affordable housing, street improvements, park and public facilities improvements, economic development, code enforcement, nonprofit public services, the expansion and retention of businesses, and for the delivery of services for individuals experiencing homelessness. In general, the Five-Year Consolidated Plan describes how the City will invest and allocate these limited federal funds for and on behalf of the community. In June 2025, the Five-Year Consolidated Plan for the period of July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2029 was submitted to HUD. As part of this five-year strategic planning process, the City is required to submit an Annual Action Plan each year that describes how the City will achieve the goals stated in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. This document establishes a one-year investment plan that outlines the intended use of resources in the forthcoming fiscal year. The proposed Annual Action Plan covers FY 2026–27 and seeks to allocate funding where programs and resources will have the maximum positive impact (Exhibit1). The Annual Action Plan describes the planned use of the City’s federal entitlement grants specifically for FY 2026-27. For FY 2026-27, the City will receive $4,133,909 in CDBG program funds, $1,153,540 in HOME program funds, and $368,272 in ESG program funds from HUD: Program Allocation CDBG $4,133,909 HOME $1,153,540 ESG $368,272 TOTAL $5,655,721 The various projects and programs covered under the FY 2026-27 Annual Action Plan are designed to serve low-income residents. The FY 2026-27 Annual Action Plan includes the program budgets described in detail below for the CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs respectively. Community Development Block Grant Program Budget The CDBG program provides funds to improve low and moderate-income neighborhoods, eliminate blight, and create a more stable economic base. These funds may be used for a diverse range of programs, including affordable housing, street improvements, park and public facilities improvements, economic development, code enforcement, and public services. The City’s anticipated CDBG allocation for FY 2026- 27 is $4,133,909 plus $137,959 in re-allocation of prior years’ CDBG funds for a total of $4,271,868.     City Council 26 – 2 4/21/2026 FY 2026-27 Annual Action Plan and Budgets for CDBG, HOME and ESG Programs April 21, 2026 Page 3 5 7 1 0 The proposed FY 2026-27 CDBG Program Funding Plan consists of the CDC funding recommendations for nonprofit public service programs and staff’s funding recommendations this year for administration and planning, code enforcement, city capital improvements, and housing. The CDBG Program Funding Plan can be summarized in two general categories: 1) Capital Projects/CDBG Program Funding Plan; and 2) Public Services. A summary of the process and allocation for the FY 2026- 27 CDBG Program is provided below for both general categories. Capital Projects/CDBG Program Funding Plan The FY 2026-27 CDBG Program Funding Plan includes the funding allocations for administration and planning, code enforcement in low and moderate-income areas of the city to address health and safety violations, economic development to provide small business grants, nonprofit public services, city capital improvement projects, and single- family rehabilitation grants (Exhibit 2). The CDBG allowable cap of 20% for administration and fair housing services is $826,782 for FY 2026-27. Administration is necessary for staffing, compliance, reporting, fiscal management, studies, and monitoring of the entire program. Fair housing is necessary due to CDBG requirements that the City affirmatively further fair housing. Three new city capital improvement projects are recommended for funding for a total of $1,400,000, which includes the following: 1) $1,000,000 for Logan/Chepa’s Park Construction 2) $300,000 for Rehabilitation of the Carnegie Homeless Shelter (Generator Improvements) 3) $100,000 for ADA Improvements to the Delhi Library The proposed programs and capital improvement projects have been determined to be of highest priority and need by the Executive Directors of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Agency, Public Works Agency, and Community Development Agency. These determinations come subsequent to the City's internal application process, ensuring a thorough assessment and alignment with overarching objectives.

The program’s flexibility allows HOME funds to be used for grants, direct loans, loan guarantees or other forms of credit enhancements, or tenant-based rental assistance or security deposits. At least 15% of HOME funds must be set aside for specific activities to be undertaken by a special type of nonprofit called a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO). A CHDO is a private nonprofit, community-based organization that has staff with the capacity to develop affordable housing for the community it serves. In order to qualify for designation as a CHDO, the organization must meet certain requirements pertaining to their legal status, organizational structure, and capacity and experience. The City’s HOME allocation for FY 2026-27 is $1,153,540.

The Plan is adopted by the City Council and subject to HUD approval. Consistent with HUD’s national objectives, these programs are designed to expand access to safe and affordable housing, foster suitable living environments, and advance economic opportunity— particularly for low- and moderate-income residents and individuals with special needs. Given the limited availability of federal resources, the Action Plan prioritizes neighborhoods and populations demonstrating the greatest need, directing investments toward high-impact strategies where data indicates the City can maximize measurable outcomes and long-term community benefit. The funding priorities and goals reflected in this Action Plan are informed by the City’s 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan, which identified key community needs, established funding priorities, and set measurable five-year objectives to guide the use of HUD resources. 2.Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Planning and Development (CPD) Outcome Performance Measurement Framework organizes program objectives into three national outcome categories: decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunity. In the 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan, the City of Santa Ana identified six high-priority needs to be addressed through activities aligned with seven Strategic Plan goals. Priority Needs •Expand the supply of affordable housing •Preserve the existing supply of affordable housing •Increase access to and availability of public services •Expand access to and availability of homeless services and facilities EXHIBIT 1     City Council 26 – 9 4/21/2026 Annual Action Plan 2026 2 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) • Promote economic opportunity • Improve public facilities and infrastructure Consistent with HUD’s national objectives to provide decent housing, maintain a suitable living environment, and expand economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents, these priority needs will be addressed through HUD-funded activities aligned with the following measurable Strategic Plan goals: Strategic Plan Goals • Affordable Housing Development, Maintenance, and Preservation • Code Enforcement • Public Service Programs • Homeless Services and Facilities • Economic Development Programs • Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements • Program Administration and Fair Housing Services Together, these goals provide the framework for implementing federally funded activities and measuring progress toward meeting the City’s identified community development and housing needs. 3.

These priorities were established through a Community Needs Assessment, housing market analysis, feedback from public meetings, community surveys and consultation with stakeholders. Funding these priorities supports HUD’s principal goals and objectives. These goals are meant to provide availability, sustainability, and affordability for low- and moderate-income residents of the City of Santa Ana. The FY 2026-27 Annual Action Plan outlines the City’s priorities, objectives and strategies for the investment of CDBG, ESG, and HOME funds to address these needs over the fiscal year period of July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027.

Introduction As part of the comprehensive 5-year Consolidated Planning process, the City of Santa Ana engaged in extensive consultations with representatives from diverse agencies, groups, and organizations deeply involved in various facets of community development. This inclusive approach aimed to address critical areas such as affordable housing, job creation for low- and moderate-income individuals, and provision of essential services to vulnerable populations, including children, elderly persons, individuals with disabilities, persons living with HIV/AIDS, and those experiencing homelessness. To ensure robust participation and capture a wide range of perspectives, the City utilized multiple avenues for soliciting feedback, including: • Stakeholder/resident surveys • Individual stakeholder consultations • Community meetings • Public hearings • 30-day public comment period • Receipt of written comments Through these channels, the City actively sought input from a broad spectrum of stakeholders, fostering dialogue and collaboration to address the diverse needs of the community. The consultation process encompassed engagement with various agencies, groups, and organizations dedicated to housing, community development, and economic empowerment. The invaluable insights garnered from these consultations played a pivotal role in shaping the objectives and goals outlined in the Strategic Plan, ensuring alignment with the community's priorities and aspirations. Below is a representation of the agencies, groups, and organizations consulted, reflecting the comprehensive nature of the engagement process. Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l)) The City recognizes the importance of careful coordination and alignment among various service providers to maximize the effectiveness of the CDBG program. As a result, during the development of this Consolidated Plan, the City consulted with organizations that provide assisted housing, health services and other community-focused programs. Outreach efforts included surveys including specific questions associated with coordination, invitations to community meetings and follow-up phone interviews where appropriate. EXHIBIT 1     City Council 26 – 13 4/21/2026 Annual Action Plan 2026 6 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) The City further recognizes the importance of continued coordination and alignment during the upcoming five-year planning period with these organizations and agencies. The City will strengthen relationships and alignment among these organizations in the implementation of the NOFA process for CDBG funds and through technical assistance provided to subrecipients of CDBG funds each year. Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness. Orange County's homeless Continuum of Care (CoC) is comprised of a network of public, private, faith- based, for-profit, and non-profit service providers who utilize several federal, state and local resources to provide services and facilities for homeless people. The regionâ¿¿s municipalities, including the City of Santa Ana, also provide resources for services that assist the homeless and those at-risk of becoming homeless. Non-profit service and facility providers play a critical role in the current CoC system and in addressing homeless needs within Santa Ana. These organizations provide a range of services throughout the County ranging from job training to creating permanent supportive housing opportunities. These services are available to homeless individuals and households. The CoC guides the development of homeless strategies and the implementation of programs to end homelessness throughout the region. In conducting the Cityâ¿¿s Needs Assessment, Santa Ana carefully reviewed the CoC's current strategy and planning documents to ensure coordination in goals and objectives. Additionally, the City provided a questionnaire to the CoC as well as key service providers operating in Santa Ana to identify the CoC's perceived needs in the county and its objectives to address the needs of different homeless persons populations, specifically chronically homeless families and individuals, families with children, veterans, unaccompanied youth and persons at risk of homelessness. The City will continue to actively work with the CoC as well as its partners throughout the County to coordinate on the planning and implementation of homeless services and programming. Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS In the development of the Consolidated Plan, the City of Santa Ana consulted with numerous housing, social service, and homeless service providers whose work intersects with the goal of reducing and ending homelessness in Orange County and/ or Santa Ana.

For the 2026 Program Year, the City will invest 100 percent of non-administrative funds to directly benefit low-and moderate-income individuals throughout the City. Infrastructure improvements and public facilities will be focused on areas with a concentration of residents with low- and moderate-incomes or sites that serve a presumed group. Housing assistance will be made available to income-qualified households throughout the City. Geographic Distribution Target Area Percentage of Funds Citywide 100 Table 8 - Geographic Distribution Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically HUD allows CDBG grantees to implement certain activities, such as initial construction or expansion of community facilities and infrastructure that benefit certain neighborhoods, but not the entire City, provided the service area for the facility or infrastructure is primarily residential, and where at least 51 percent of residents are low- and moderate-income. It is the City’s intent to fund activities in the areas and for the populations most directly affected by the needs of low-income residents and those with other special needs. Where appropriate the Annual Action Plan will direct investment to an area benefit neighborhood. The area benefit category is the most used national objective for activities benefiting a residential neighborhood. An area benefit activity is one that benefits all residents, where at least 51 percent are low- and moderate-income. Public infrastructure improvements are an area benefit activity when they are in a predominantly low- and moderate-income neighborhood.

According to the results of the January 2024, PIT Count in approximately7,322 individuals were experiencing homelessness. The City of Santa Ana conducted their own PIT Count for the City and were able to a total 501 individulas were experiencing homelessness.

Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs Preventing and ending homelessness is a HUD priority addressed nationally through coordination of regional strategies and carried out locally by government agencies and a wide variety of community- based organizations and faith-based groups. Consistent with this approach, the City supports the CoC and its member organizations that address homelessness. In alignment with this strategy, the City established the homeless services goal. The street outreach aspects of that goal will be implemented through the activities of the Interval Housing, Covenant House, and SAPD HEART program. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City established the homeless services goal to address the need to increase access to and the supply of homeless services and facilities. The emergency shelter aspects of that goal will be implemented through the activities of the Interval Housing, Covenant House, and SAPD HEART program. Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were EXHIBIT 1     City Council 26 – 40 4/21/2026 Annual Action Plan 2026 33 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) recently homeless from becoming homeless again In alignment with the CoC strategy, the City established the homeless services goal. The rapid rehousing and homelessness prevention aspects of that goal will be implemented through the activities of the Volunteers of America Los Angeles, and WISEPlace. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs. The County in collaboration with the CoC maintains Discharge Coordination Policies for the systems of care it administers, such as discharge from the Corrections, Foster Care, and the Mental Health systems. The City supports the CoC’s advocacy for development of consistent policy implementation by hospital administrators for best practices, such as recuperative care, and co-location of health services near affordable housing developments. During the program year 2025 the City will direct ESG funds to Volunteers of America Los Angeles and WISEPlace to provide rapid rehousing, and homelessness prevention services to qualified households.

Barriers to affordable housing differ from impediments to fair housing choice in that barriers are typically lawful and impediments to fair housing choice are usually unlawful. The City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element includes an identification and prioritization of significant contributing factors that impede fair housing and/or result in disproportionate housing needs. Through discussions with stakeholders and fair housing advocates, community feedback, and the assessment of fair housing included in the Housing Element, the City identified the following fair housing issues: - Displacement risk - Lack of safe and sanitary housing - Housing overcrowding - Low household incomes - Exposure to environmental hazards - Lack of quality education and job training The primary factor contributing to these housing issues is the limited availability of resources to subsidize housing development to the point that units are affordable to low- and moderate-income households. The elimination of local Redevelopment Agencies by the State of California resulted in the loss of a crucial resource for the development and preservation of affordable housing. This was the most significant public policy change impacting affordable housing and residential investment. While there are mechanisms whereby certain affordable housing assets tied to the former Redevelopment Agencies may be utilized today, these resources are finite and scarce. Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment The City’s 2021–2029 Housing Element outlines actions to reduce barriers to affordable housing by: • Promoting construction of 723 ADUs through preapproved plans and multilingual outreach. • Enforcing the Affordable Housing Opportunity & Creation Ordinance (AHOCO) requiring affordable units in qualifying housing developments. • Updating zoning guidelines to encourage diverse unit sizes and affordability levels for low- income households. • Monitoring and preserving at-risk affordable housing developments. • Providing down payment assistance loans for low- and moderate-income households. • Supporting neighborhood associations, particularly in disadvantaged census tracts.

Discussion: EXHIBIT 1     City Council 26 – 43 4/21/2026 Annual Action Plan 2026 36 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k) Introduction: In the implementation of the 2025 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG, HOME, and ESG resources to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, reduce the number of poverty-level families, develop institutional structure, and enhance coordination between agencies. Priority needs established in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan form the basis for establishing objectives and outcomes in the Action Plan. Those needs are as follows: - Expand the supply of affordable housing - Preserve the supply of affordable housing - Improve public facilities and infrastructure - Increase access to and supply of homeless services and facilities - Access to supply of public services - Promote economic opportunity Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The primary obstacles to meeting the underserved needs of low- and moderate-income people include lack of funding from federal, state, and other local sources, the lack of availability of home improvement financing in the private lending industry, and the high cost of housing. The City will continue to work to leverage public and private resources through grant and partnership opportunities. The City will continue to promote fair housing practices for sale and rental housing and to facilitate community awareness of fair housing. The City of City will continue to use CDBG funds to contract with the Fair Housing Council of Orange County for this program year to provide fair housing and tenant/ landlord services to residents. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing In the implementation of the 2025 Annual Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG and HOME funds to preserve and maintain affordable housing through the CDBG Housing Rehabilitation, CDBG Down Payment Assistance, HOME Affordable Housing, HOME CHDO, and Fair Housing projects. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards To reduce LBP hazards, the City’s CDBG Housing Rehabilitation and CDBG Down Payment Assistance projects will conduct LBP testing and risk assessments for each property assisted that was built prior to January 1, 1978, and will incorporate safe work practices or abatement into the scope of work reduce EXHIBIT 1     City Council 26 – 44 4/21/2026 Annual Action Plan 2026 37 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) LBP hazards in accordance with 24 CFR Part 35. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The implementation of CDBG, HOME, and ESG activities meeting the goals established in the Strategic Plan and this Annual Action Plan will help reduce the number of poverty-level families by supporting: - Affordable housing development, maintenance, and preservation - Code enforcement - Public service programs - Homeless services and facilities - Economic development programs - Public facilities and infrastructure improvement - Planning, administration and fair housing In addition to these local efforts, mainstream state and federal resources also contribute to reducing the number of individuals and families in poverty. Federal programs, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and Head Start, provide pathways out of poverty for families who are ready to pursue employment and educational opportunities. Additionally, in California, the primary programs that assist families in poverty are CalWORKS, CalFresh (formerly food stamps), and Medi-Cal. Together, these programs provide individuals and families with employment assistance, subsidy for food, medical care, childcare and cash payments to meet basic needs such as housing, nutrition, and transportation. Actions planned to develop institutional structure The institutional delivery system in Santa Ana is highly functioning and collaborative, particularly the relationship between local government and the nonprofit sector, which is comprised of a network of capable organizations that are delivering a full range of services to residents. Strong City departments anchor the administration of HUD grant programs, housing, and community and economic development activities that are implemented by the City support to enhance the institutional structure. The City will collaborate interdepartmentally, with residents, and with nonprofit agencies receiving CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds through the 2026 Annual Action Plan to ensure the needs of low-and-moderate-income residents are met as envisioned within the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies City staff works closely with the other organizations to improve regulatory compliance, monitoring, cooperation and partnerships among agencies and technical capacity of organizations involved in project delivery. To enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies, the City will continue consulting with and inviting the participation of a wide variety of agencies and organizations involved in the delivery of housing and supportive services to low- and EXHIBIT 1     City Council 26 – 45 4/21/2026 Annual Action Plan 2026 38 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) moderate-income residents in upland—particularly the CDBG low- and moderate-income areas.

Specify the years covered that include this Annual Action Plan. 70.00% HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) Reference 24 CFR 91.220(l)(2) 1. A description of other forms of investment being used beyond those identified in Section 92.205 is EXHIBIT 1     City Council 26 – 47 4/21/2026 Annual Action Plan 2026 40 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) as follows: The City of Santa Ana does not use HOME funds in any other manner other than those described in Section 92.205(b). 2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows: The City incorporates a recapture requirement into written agreements and long-term affordability covenants for homebuyer assistance activities administered by the City as required by 24 CFR 92.254. For any homebuyer assistance activity implemented by subrecipients or CHDOs, this recapture requirement shall also be used. HOME affordability requirements are imposed based on the amount of direct HOME subsidy pursuant to HUD regulations as follows: Assistance under $25,000: 5-year affordability period Assistance between $25,000 - $50,000: 10-year affordability period Assistance over $50,000: 15-year affordability period The amount subject to recapture is the direct HOME subsidy received by the homebuyer. Direct HOME subsidy includes the HOME investment that enabled the homebuyer to purchase the property. This includes down payment assistance, closing costs, or other HOME assistance provided directly to the homebuyer or the difference between the fair market value of the property (as determined by appraisal) and a reduced sales price, but excludes any HOME assistance provided to develop the unit. Continued below in number 3. 3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired with HOME funds? See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows: The recapture provision ensures that the entire amount of the City's direct HOME subsidy to homebuyers is recaptured if the housing does not continue to be the principal residence of the family for the duration of the applicable period of affordability (e.g., the home is sold, the home is foreclosed, the assisted owner is no longer residing in the assisted residence, or for any other breach of the agreement with the City). The HOME-assisted homebuyer may sell their unit at any time during the period of affordability, to any willing buyer, and at the price the market will bear. The recapture provision requires that the City’s direct HOME subsidy and any interest due under the HOME loan (that has not previously been repaid) is returned to the City from net proceeds, subject to the limitation that if there are no net proceeds or the net proceeds are insufficient to repay the HOME investment due, the City may only recapture the net proceeds, if any. Net proceeds are defined as the sales price minus superior loan repayment (other than HOME funds), and any closing costs. In the event of a mortgage default, a provision in the written agreement and long-term affordability EXHIBIT 1     City Council 26 – 48 4/21/2026 Annual Action Plan 2026 41 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) covenant stipulates that the City has the right of first refusal before foreclosure and may use additional HOME funds or other resources to acquire the housing in order to preserve the housing’s affordability. The home then will be resold to an eligible buyer with a new long-term affordability covenant that imposes a period of affordability in accordance with the total HOME investment, including the direct homebuyer assistance provided to the homebuyer at the initial sale, plus any additional HOME funds invested to purchase the property out of foreclosure. Recaptured funds will be used for any HOME eligible activity. If the funds were provided as a grant or zero interest loan, then the recaptured funds will be receipted into IDIS and treated like program income, except that no portion of the funds will be used for administrative costs. If the recaptured funds were provided as an interest-bearing loan, then the funds will be receipted (principal and interest) into IDIS as program income. Up to ten percent of the program income may be used for administrative costs. These recaptured funds are identified in the City’s accounting system by a unique recaptured revenue object number. Any recaptured funds will be used by the City before committing HOME funds from the City’s line of credit. When the City uses a resale restriction, the City allows property sales to eligible income households, provided the sales price does not exceed an affordable housing cost to the proposed transferee ("Permitted Transfers"). If a homebuyer wishes to transfer the property during the affordability period, they must notify the City beforehand by submitting a Notice of Intent to Transfer. This notice should include the identity of the proposed transferee, their household income, and the proposed sales price so that the City may determine that the homebuyer’s household income and the sales price meet the affordable housing cost criteria. The term of the period of affordability is determined according to the amount of HOME funds invested (see chart above under Recapture) and a long-term affordability covenant will be recorded against the property in the County real estate records. The covenant will impose a resale formula that provides a fair return on investment (including the homeowner’s investment and cost of capital improvements) and ensure the housing will remain affordable to a reasonable range of low-income homebuyers. See above 4. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows: NA 5. If applicable to a planned HOME TBRA activity, a description of the preference for persons with special needs or disabilities. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2)(i) and CFR 91.220(l)(2)(vii)). NA 6.

(See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2)(ii) and 91.220(l)(2)(vii)). NA 7. If applicable, a description of any preference or limitation for rental housing projects. (See 24 CFR 92.253(d)(3) and CFR 91.220(l)(2)(vii)). Note: Preferences cannot be administered in a manner that limits the opportunities of persons on any basis prohibited by the laws listed under 24 CFR 5.105(a).

Include written standards for providing ESG assistance (may include as attachment) ESG funds will be used for eligible activities under five program components: street outreach, emergency shelter, homelessness prevention, rapid re-housing assistance, and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) costs, as well as allowable administrative costs and activities. ESG applications go through an open and transparent proposal process. The Community Development Agency is responsible for ensuring that the ESG program is implemented in accordance with all Federal rules and regulations. 2. If the Continuum of Care has established centralized or coordinated assessment system that meets HUD requirements, describe that centralized or coordinated assessment system. Orange County, in collaboration with the CoC and other ESG entitlement jurisdictions including the City of Santa Ana will utilize assessment and evaluation instruments developed in consultation with the HIMIS lead agency and previously funded HPRP grantees. The County ensures ongoing coordination of program design and eligibly standards. The City will provide funding for the administration of the HMIS data entry system. 3. Identify the process for making sub-awards and describe how the ESG allocation available to private nonprofit organizations (including community and faith-based organizations). On November 20, 2024, the City of Irvine released a combined ESG Request for Proposals (RFP) in partnership with the Cities of Anaheim, Garden Grove, and Santa Ana to support the Orange County Continuum of Care’s goal to end homelessness. This RFP was marketed to nonprofit organizations (including community and faith-based organizations) operating throughout Orange County. The RFP included four possible one-year renewals. Current subrecipients awarded funding for renewal years EXHIBIT 1     City Council 26 – 50 4/21/2026 Annual Action Plan 2026 43 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) will be required to submit a new budget and program summary. the Collaborative reserves the right to redistribute funding and/or issue a new RFP at its discretion. 4. If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR 576.405(a), the jurisdiction must specify its plan for reaching out to and consulting with homeless or formerly homeless individuals in considering policies and funding decisions regarding facilities and services funded under ESG. The City consults and works with the County and CoC homeless services staff as well as local homeless service providers, advocacy groups, facilities and other stakeholders in determining its strategic approach, policies and funding decisions. A previously homeless individual participated on the ESG funding review panel. Individuals who were previously homeless provide assistance in outreach and engagement services and provide feedback to Staff. In addition, the CoC’s strategy reflects the participation of all 34 cities in Orange County as well as individuals who are homeless or previously homeless, schools, and a host of other organizations and stakeholders. 5. Describe performance standards for evaluating ESG. The City utilizes the HUD Monitoring ESG handbook to monitor each program’s performance to ensure that goals are on track and funds are used for eligible activities. On a quarterly basis, invoices are reviewed to ensure program compliance. In addition, the quarterly financial invoices are monitored by City Accounting staff. On-site monitoring of non-profit organizations is done by staff and by consultants for both program and financial records on an as-needed basis, or at least every three years. The City works closely with the CoC and other ESG jurisdictions in the County to standardize processes and approaches as much as possible. In the implementation of programs and activities under the 2026 Annual Action Plan, the City will adhere to regulations set forth by the Community Planning and Development (CPD) agency within HUD.

COUNCILMEMBER-REQUESTED ITEM TITLE Discuss and consider directing the City Manager to direct City staff to draft and bring back a resolution for Council consideration that would be sent to Assemblymember Avelino Valencia and Senator Tom Umberg, requesting that the State Legislature amend AB 645 (Friedman) to allow the City of Santa Ana to establish a Speed Safety System Pilot Program as soon as possible. DISCUSSION State Assembly Bill AB 645 was approved on October 13, 2023 to permit selected cities to establish a Speed Safety Pilot Program to run until January 2032. The initial measure included six cities: Los Angeles, San Jose, Oakland, Glendale, Long Beach, and the City and County of San Francisco. AB 645 authorizes these six cities to establish a Speed Safety System Pilot Program if the system meets specified requirements. A speed safety system, as defined by AB 645, is “a fixed or mobile radar or laser system or any other electronic device that utilizes automated equipment to detect a violation of speed laws and obtains a clear photograph of a speeding vehicle’s license plate.” Automated enforcement technology, such as cameras and radar/laser sensors, are used to detect vehicles traveling over the speed limit and take a photo of the rear license plate to issue citations. The bill requires a participating city to adopt a Speed Safety System Use Policy and a Speed Safety System Impact Report before implementing the program. The bill requires the participating city to engage in a public information campaign at least 30 days before implementation of the program, including information relating to when the systems would begin detecting violations and where the systems would be located. The bill requires a participating city to issue warning notices rather than notices of violations for violations detected within the first 60 calendar days of the program.     City Council 27 – 1 4/21/2026 Councilmember Requested Item Page 2 of 3 CITY ATTORNEY Sonia R. Carvalho CITY MANAGER Alvaro Nuñez CITY CLERK Jennifer L. Hall 20 CIVIC CENTER PLAZA - P.O. BOX 1988, M-31 - SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA 92702 TELEPHONE (714) 647-6900 - FAX (714) 647-6954 - www.santa-ana.org AB 645 designates all photographic or administrative records, not including data about the number of violations issued or the speeds at which they were issued for, made by a system as confidential, and only authorizes public agencies to use and allow access to these records for the purpose of enforcing these violations and assessing the overall impact of the use of speed safety systems. AB 645 requires a participating city to develop uniform guidelines for, among other things, the processing and storage of confidential information. The City of Los Angeles’ adopted Speed Safety System Use Policy states: “Access to Processed or Appended Data, including Restricted Appended Data, by local and federal law enforcement or other government agencies is not allowed except in the unusual case of a court order, subpoena, or other legal requirement. Such legal requirements do not supersede the retention guidelines noted above. LADOT (Los Angeles Department of Transportation) and its Contractors will not share specific citation events with local external law enforcement agencies and will only provide data as required by law. In the event that the Contractor improperly shares, discloses, or otherwise distributes data, LADOT reserves the right to immediately terminate the contract.” AB 645 specifies that any violation of a speed law recorded by a speed safety system authorized by these provisions is subject only to the provided civil penalties. The bill provides for the issuance of a notice of violation, an initial review, an administrative hearing, and an appeals process, as specified, for a violation under this program. The bill requires any program created pursuant to these provisions to offer a diversion program for indigent speed safety system violation recipients, as specified. The bill requires a city or city and county participating in the pilot program to submit a report to evaluate the speed safety system to determine the systems impact on street safety where the system is utilized. California cities not included in AB 645 are not permitted to use speed safety systems. Following the tragic deaths of four Pepperdine students in October 2023, the Malibu City Council urgently pursued the ability to install automated speed enforcement cameras along a scenic but dangerous 21-mile stretch of Pacific Coast Highway. On September 27, 2024, SB 1297 (Allen) was signed into law. SB 1297 authorizes the City of Malibu to establish a Speed Safety Pilot Program, similar to what was authorized in AB 645, to utilize up to 5 speed safety systems on Pacific Coast Highway for speed enforcement. On April 29, 2025, the Berkeley City Council adopted a resolution to send to Assemblymember Buffy Wicks and Senator Jesse Arreguín to request that the State Legislature amend AB 645 to allow the City of Berkeley to establish a Speed Safety Pilot Program. The City of Santa Ana has seen traffic collisions resulting in serious injuries or fatalities for pedestrians and bicyclists remain unacceptably high for a number of years. Santa Ana ranks 4th out of the 15 highest population cities in California in injury/fatality traffic collisions for bicyclists and 5th for pedestrians, according to the California Office of Traffic Safety, 2023.     City Council 27 – 2 4/21/2026 Councilmember Requested Item Page 3 of 3 CITY ATTORNEY Sonia R.

BOX 1988, M-31 - SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA 92702 TELEPHONE (714) 647-6900 - FAX (714) 647-6954 - www.santa-ana.org On Saturday, April 5, 2025, a single-vehicle collision involving a tree on Segerstrom Avenue near Griset Place resulted in the loss of five lives. The vehicle was traveling westbound on Segerstrom Avenue, passing through the intersection with Townsend Street at a high rate of speed. The vehicle entered a bend in the road on Segerstrom Avenue and appeared to have lost control, striking a palm tree on the raised center median on the passenger side. Three females were ejected from the vehicle. The driver and two other passengers were trapped inside the vehicle and required extrication by OCFA using auto-extraction tools, commonly known as the “Jaws of Life.” Despite lifesaving efforts, the driver and three passengers were pronounced deceased at the scene. Another passenger who had been transported to a local hospital succumbed to her injuries a few days later. Just over three months later, on July 31, 2025, and less than a half-mile away, a single-vehicle collision at Segerstrom Avenue and Bear Street resulted in one death and one injury when a vehicle was traveling westbound on Segerstrom Avenue from Bear Street at a high rate of speed and veered off the roadway, striking a tree and a cinder block wall. The City of Santa Ana has established policy and taken steps to use modern technology to support safety and enforcement. In 2024, the Santa Ana City Council adopted the Santa Ana Vision Zero Plan and its goal to eliminate traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries in Santa Ana by 2040. Our city is ideally situated to implement and benefit from a Speed Safety Pilot Program. In conjunction with education and traffic engineering improvements, a Speed Safety Pilot Program can significantly reduce speeding, improve traffic safety, and prevent traffic- related fatalities and injuries. Speed Safety Pilot Programs can also reduce the amount of and potential impacts of police traffic stops. This item seeks to urge the State Legislature to amend AB 645 to allow the City of Santa Ana to establish a Speed Safety Pilot Program before 2032. I therefore request that the City Council direct the City Manager to direct City staff to draft and bring back a resolution for Council consideration at the April 21 City Council meeting that would be sent to Assemblymember Avelino Valencia and Senator Tom Umberg, requesting that the State Legislature amend AB 645 (Friedman) to allow the City of Santa Ana to establish a Speed Safety System Pilot Program as soon as possible.

(2023-2024) Assembly Bill No. 645 CHAPTER 808 An act to amend, repeal, and add Section 70615 of the Government Code, and to add and repeal Article 3 (commencing with Section 22425) of Chapter 7 of Division 11 of the Vehicle Code, relating to vehicles. [ Approved by Governor October 13, 2023. Filed with Secretary of State October 13, 2023. ] LEGISLATIVE COUNSELʹS DIGEST AB 645, Friedman. Vehicles: speed safety system pilot program. Existing law establishes a basic speed law that prohibits a person from driving a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent given the weather, visibility, traffic, and highway conditions and in no event at a speed that endangers the safety of persons or property. This bill would authorize, until January 1, 2032, the Cities of Los Angeles, San Jose, Oakland, Glendale, and Long Beach, and the City and County of San Francisco to establish a Speed Safety System Pilot Program if the system meets specified requirements. The bill would require a participating city or city and county to adopt a Speed Safety System Use Policy and a Speed Safety System Impact Report before implementing the program, and would require the participating city or city and county to engage in a public information campaign at least 30 days before implementation of the program, including information relating to when the systems would begin detecting violations and where the systems would be utilized. The bill would require a participating city or city and county to issue warning notices rather than notices of violations for violations detected within the first 60 calendar days of the program. The bill would also require a participating city or city and county to develop uniform guidelines for, among other things, the processing and storage of confidential information. The bill would designate all photographic or administrative records, not including data about the number of violations issued or the speeds at which they were issued for, made by a system as confidential, and would only authorize public agencies to use and allow access to these records for specified purposes. This bill would specify that any violation of a speed law recorded by a speed safety system authorized by these provisions would be subject only to the provided civil penalties. The bill would, among other things, provide for the issuance of a notice of violation, an initial review, an administrative hearing, and an appeals process, as specified, for a violation under this program. The bill would require any program created pursuant to these provisions to offer a diversion program for indigent speed safety system violation recipients, as specified. The bill would require a city or city and county participating in the pilot program to submit a report to evaluate the speed safety system to determine the system’s impact on street safety and economic impact on the communities where the system is utilized. Existing law establishes a $25 filing fee for specified appeals and petitions.

Existing constitutional provisions require that a statute that limits the right of access to the meetings of public bodies or the writings of public officials and agencies be adopted with findings demonstrating the interest protected by the limitation and the need for protecting that interest. This bill would make legislative findings to that effect. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Cities of Los Angeles, San Jose, Oakland, Glendale, and Long Beach, and the City and County of San Francisco. Vote: majority Appropriation: no Fiscal Committee: yes Local Program: no THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (a) Speed is a major factor in traffic collisions that result in fatalities or injuries. (b) State and local agencies employ a variety of methods to reduce speeding, including traffic engineering, education, and enforcement. (c) Traffic speed enforcement is critical to efforts in California to reduce factors that contribute to traffic collisions that result in fatalities or injuries. (d) However, traditional enforcement methods have had a well-documented disparate impact on communities of color, and implicit or explicit racial bias in police traffic stops puts drivers of color at risk. (e) Additional tools, including speed safety systems, are available to assist cities and the state in addressing excessive speeding and speed-related crashes. (f) Speed safety systems offer a high rate of detection, and, in conjunction with education and traffic engineering, can significantly reduce speeding, improve traffic safety, and prevent traffic-related fatalities and injuries, including roadway worker fatalities. (g) Multiple speed safety system programs implemented in other states and cities outside of California have proven successful in reducing speeding and addressing traffic safety concerns. (h) The Transportation Agency’s “CalSTA Report of Findings: AB 2363 Zero Traffic Fatalities Task Force,” issued in January 2020, concluded that international and domestic studies show that speed safety systems are an effective countermeasure to speeding that can deliver meaningful safety improvements, and identified several policy considerations that speed safety system program guidelines could consider. (i) In a 2017 study, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) analyzed studies of speed safety system programs, and found they offered significant safety improvements in the forms of reduction in mean speeds, reduction in the likelihood of speeding more than 10 miles per hour over the posted speed limit, and reduction in the likelihood that a crash involved a severe injury or fatality. The same study recommended that all states remove obstacles to speed safety system programs to increase the use of this proven approach, and notes that programs should be explicitly authorized by state legislation without operational and location restrictions. (j) The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gives speed safety systems the maximum 5-star effectiveness rating. NHTSA issued speed enforcement camera systems operational guidelines in 2008, and is expected to release revised guidelines in 2021 that should further inform the development of state guidelines. (k) Speed safety systems can advance equity by improving reliability and fairness in traffic enforcement while making speeding enforcement more predictable, effective, and broadly implemented, all of which helps change driver behavior. (l) Enforcing speed limits using speed safety systems on streets where speeding drivers create dangerous roadway environments is a reliable and cost-effective means to prevent further fatalities and injuries.

This article shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2032, and as of that date is repealed. SEC. 5. The Legislature finds and declares that Section 4 of this act, which adds Section 22425 to the Vehicle Code, imposes a limitation on the public’s right of access to the meetings of public bodies or the writings of public officials and agencies within the meaning of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution. Pursuant to that constitutional provision, the Legislature makes the following findings to demonstrate the interest protected by this limitation and the need for protecting that interest: To protect the privacy interests of persons who are issued notices of violation under a speed safety systems pilot program, the Legislature finds and declares that the photographic or administrative records generated by the program shall be confidential, and shall be made available only to alleged violators and to governmental agencies solely for the purpose of enforcing these violations and assessing the impact of the use of speed safety systems, as required by this act. SEC. 6. The Legislature finds and declares that a special statute is necessary and that a general statute cannot be made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution because of the unique circumstances with traffic speed enforcement in the Cities of Los Angeles, San Jose, Oakland, Glendale, and Long Beach, and the City and County of San Francisco.

[ Approved by Governor September 27, 2024. Filed with Secretary of State September 27, 2024. ] LEGISLATIVE COUNSELʹS DIGEST SB 1297, Allen. The City of Malibu’s speed safety system pilot program. Existing law authorizes, until January 1, 2032, the Cities of Los Angeles, San Jose, Oakland, Glendale, and Long Beach, and the City and County of San Francisco to establish a speed safety system pilot program if the system meets specified requirements. Existing law requires a participating city or city and county to adopt a Speed Safety System Use Policy and a Speed Safety System Impact Report before implementing the program, and requires the participating city or city and county to engage in a public information campaign at least 30 days before implementation of the program, including information relating to when the systems would begin detecting violations and where the systems would be utilized. Existing law requires a participating city or city and county to issue warning notices rather than notices of violations for violations detected within the first 60 calendar days of the program. Existing law also requires a participating city or city and county to develop uniform guidelines for, among other things, the processing and storage of confidential information. Existing law designates all photographic or administrative records, not including data about the number of violations issued or the speeds at which they were issued for, made by a system as confidential, and would only authorize public agencies to use and allow access to these records for specified purposes. This bill would authorize, until January 1, 2032, the City of Malibu to establish a similar program for speed enforcement that utilizes up to 5 speed safety systems on the Pacific Coast Highway. Existing law specifies that any violation of a speed law recorded by a speed safety system authorized by the Speed Safety System Pilot Program provisions would be subject only to the provided civil penalties. Existing law provides, among other things, for the issuance of a notice of violation, an initial review, an administrative hearing, and an appeals process, as specified, for a violation under this program. Existing law requires any program created pursuant to these provisions to offer a diversion program for indigent speed safety system violation recipients, as specified. Existing law requires a city or city and county participating in the pilot program to submit a report to evaluate the speed safety system to determine the system’s impact on street safety and the economic impact on the communities where the system is utilized. Existing law requires revenues derived from any program to first be used to cover program costs, including, among other things, the construction of traffic-calming measures, as specified.

The bill would additionally require the City of Malibu to enter into an agreement with the Department of Transportation regarding the use of any excess revenue for traffic-calming measures on the Pacific Coast Highway, in the City of Malibu. Existing law establishes a $25 filing fee for specified appeals and petitions. This bill would require a $25 filing fee for an appeal challenging a notice of violation issued as a result of the City of Malibu’s speed safety system program until January 1, 2032. Existing constitutional provisions require that a statute that limits the right of access to the meetings of public bodies or the writings of public officials and agencies be adopted with findings demonstrating the interest protected by the limitation and the need for protecting that interest. This bill would make legislative findings to that effect. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City of Malibu. Vote: majority Appropriation: no Fiscal Committee: yes Local Program: no THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (a) On October 17, 2023, a driver speeding at 104 miles per hour on the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) in the City of Malibu lost control of their vehicle and killed four university students standing on the side of the highway.

The following table summarizes the top responding firms: Firm City Cost Ranking BKM Office Environments, Inc.Canoga Park $247,824 1 Pro Movers Inc.Orange $46,352 2 Office & Ergonomic Solutions, Inc.Rancho Cucamonga $209,552 3 Staff recommends awarding an agreement to the highest-ranked firm, BKM Office Environments, Inc. (Exhibit 1). BKM Office Environments, Inc. (BKM) is a full-service commercial furniture provider with access to more than 200 manufacturers, allowing the firm to deliver flexible, high-quality workspace solutions tailored to government facilities. The firm has successfully completed similar projects for public agencies including the City of Santa Paula Housing Authority, the City of Santa Clarita Valencia Community Center, and the City of Thousand Oaks Planning Department. Based on BKM’s demonstrated experience with housing authority and municipal clients, comprehensive project management capabilities, and competitive pricing, staff recommends awarding the agreement to BKM. BKM has the highest cost out of the three proposals. However, the total cost reflects their experience working with over 200 manufacturers and other cities and Housing Authorities. Additionally, BKM’s proposal provides a comprehensive, single-vendor solution that includes design, project management, procurement, delivery, and installation services, reducing the need for multiple vendors and minimizing the risk of project delays and coordination challenges. Further, the proposed furniture systems are modular and component-based (interchangeable parts), with extended manufacturer warranties, supporting long-term durability, quality performance, and flexibility to accommodate evolving workspace needs, thereby maximizing the City’s investment over time.
