CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 15 MAY 5, 2015
Mayor Pulido re -opened the Hearing for additional comments.
■ George Garcia asked about carbon emissions.
There were no additional speakers and the Mayor closed the Hearing.
Council discussion ensued.
Mayor Pro Tern Sarmiento, noted that recommendation is a simple
assignment instead of amended development agreement; proposed
amended recommendation keeps .8 acres as originally designed in 2012
and requested clarification on inclusionary housing fee — will be returning
to City Council in the future with amendments to Housing Opportunity
Ordinance.
Interim Executive Director Fregoso, explained that recommendation
maintains $3,000 per unit fee which is consistent with 2012 provisions;
assigns terms of original agreement unless applicant is proposing
changes to project — consistent with other projects.
Mayor Pro Tem Sarmiento, satisfied with fee set at $3,000; stressed
importance to clarify formula in Housing Opportunity Ordinance.
Mayor Pulido, asked City Attorney if there were any entitlement issues as
approved by the City Council in 2012.
City Attorney Carvalho, recounted that approval in 2012 was in itself an
amendment to the original project; recommendation is an assignment
because developer decided not to move forward with additional changes;
2012 approval is vested and transferring over.
Mayor Pulido, look forward to high rise; thanked applicant. Will high rise
require new Environmental Impact Report?
Interim Executive Director Fregoso, indicated that if high rise tower
proposed it would require new Environmental Impact Report since existing
study only takes into account current number of units being built.
Councilmember Martinez asked developer to be mindful of water
conservation efforts.
Applicant noted that project will satisfy State of California requirements
and City of Santa Ana Storm water requirements.

agency w/ a role
■ To develop emergency plans and procedures, training
requirements, EOC staffing
■ Provides consensus and commitment, rather than the PD deciding

Santa Ana Municipal Code
■ Santa Ana Municipal Code sections exist establishing:
• A Disaster Council, its members and powers
• The Emergency Organization for the City
• The process for developing Plans and Procedures
• City Responsibilities and Authorities in disaster
• We don't currently follow any of these (not uncommon, most
cities don't)
• We are missing a Disaster Service Worker (DSW) policy for
employees (a gap under state law) and for volunteers
o Hazard Analysis
■ An up-to-date analysis and ranking of the disaster threats or
hazards potentially impacting the City forms the basis for:
• Emergency Operations Plan
• Hazard Mitigation Plan
• Staff training
• Community education and outreach
Differing versions exist in different documents, and few if any
current staff were involved
Emergency Operations Plan
• Most recent version found is 2007
■ Standards suggest revision every 2-5 years
■ Outdated format, outline, procedures and terminology
■ Missing significant current tools (WebEOC, AlertOC)
■ No record of adoption by City Council (state law)
■ Few current City staff gave input or were involved
• Emergency Management Program Budget
■ Created 61 specific Individual Objectives to fulfill
■ EM program is new so no budget exists
■ Expenses now covered piecemeal from other parts of the budget
o Proposed EM Program Budget
• Primary budget areas:
■ CERT and Community Education
