DISCUSSION
In February 2017, the City of Santa Ana was awarded a Sustainability Planning Grant for $325,000
by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) through a regionally competitive
process. The grant monies will be used to hire consulting firms to support preparation of a General
Plan Update that is economically, socially and environmentally sustainable. By way of the
attached resolution (Exhibit 1), the City of Santa Ana formally accepts the SCAG grant that will
augment the City Council's prior commitment of $2 million allocated to the comprehensive update
of the General Plan with $437,742 spent in Fiscal Year 2015-16 and 2016-17. To date, $1 million
5513-1
Resolution for SCAG General Plan Grant Program

has been allocated towards the work effort with an additional $1 million to be provided by City
Council when needed. Currently $562,258 are remaining in the General Plan Update fund
(05016018) for the project with anticipated completion in early 2019.
Because the grant is federally funded, the City must recruit and hire technical consultants in a
manner that meets federal regulations. Although a Request for Proposals (RFP) for general plan
consultant work was approved by City Council earlier this year, a revised RFP drafted in
compliance with federal regulations is attached for City Council review and approval (Exhibit 2).
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this item supports the City's effort to meet Goal #3 - Economic Development, Objective
#2 (Create new opportunities for business/job growth and encourage private development through
new General Plan and Zoning Ordinance policies), Strategy A (Complete a comprehensive update
of the City's General Plan including the development of policies and implementation measures that
directly relate to equitable economic development); and Goal #5 - Community Health, Livability,
Engagement & Sustainability, and Objective #6 (Focus projects and programs on improving the
health and wellness of all residents).
FISCAL IMPACT
The appropriation adjustment will recognize grant revenue in the amount of $325,000 in the PBA
SCAG Grant revenue account (no. 40316002-52001) and appropriate same in the FY 2017-18
SCAG Sustainability Planning Grant expenditure account (no. 40316570-62300).
