MOTION: Councilmember Hernandez moved to leave the ordinance as is,
seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Vazquez.
MINUTES: Councilmember Phan inquired regarding internal affairs investigation
protocols, dual track investigations, differentiating which provisions are required by
federal and state law and City policies, and the number of complaints received
annually.
Senior Assistant City Attorney Bogosian confirmed that state law dictates each
jurisdiction must have a complaint policy in place and the City’s municipal code
dictates that the Internal Affairs division investigates the complaints.
Chief Rodriguez clarified that three concurrent investigations are required when an
officer involved shooting occurs.
Mayor Amezcua inquired regarding the three oversight models and which exposes
the City to the most liability and confidentiality.
Independent Oversight Director Morse spoke regarding the three oversight models:

City Council 5 – 13 8/5/2025
CITY COUNCIL 14 JULY 15, 2025
Senior Assistant City Attorney Bogosian spoke regarding the eight categories of
records that would be subject to disclosure circumstances which would allow officer
personnel records to be disclosable under the California Public Records Act: Officer
involved shooting resulting in death, use of force resulting in great bodily injury,
sustained finding of dishonesty, sexual assault, unlawful arrest or search, failure to
intervene against another officer that is clearly using excessive force, in custody
deaths, and unlawful activities that interfere with First Amendment Assemblies.
Councilmember Bacerra spoke regarding a conflict within the ordinance and the
Public Safety Officers Procedural Bill of Rights Act (POBR), his preference of the
auditor monitor model, the importance of due process, and training for
commissioners.
City Attorney Carvalho spoke regarding staff turnover since the original ordinance
was drafted.
Mayor Amezcua commented on how the City operates under a City Manager form
of government and that the original ordinance language granted the Police
Oversight Director authority that conflicted with the City Manager's authority under
the City Charter.
Mayor Pro Tem Vazquez inquired regarding a pending case out of Los Angeles
County and requested to postpone the item and direct staff to return in 60 days with
a revised version of the ordinance, drafted in partnership with the Police Oversight
Commission, Police Oversight Director, City Staff, and community stakeholders, in
an open forum.
Mayor Amezcua inquired regarding input at public community meetings and
meetings with staff regarding the drafting of the initial ordinance and expressed
hesitation to a joint meeting due to commissioners’ previous comments about filing
complaints.

Oversight Commissioners reminding them of the importance of impartiality.
SUBSTITUTE MOTION: Mayor Pro Tem Vazquez moved to push the item for
60 days and direct staff to return in 60 days with a revised version of the
ordinance, drafted in partnership with the Police Oversight Commission,

forum, seconded by Mayor Amzecua.

CITY COUNCIL 15 JULY 15, 2025
Councilmember Hernandez spoke regarding a June 9th mutual aid incident
involving various law enforcement agencies including the Santa Ana Police
Department, and noted that the nonprofit policescorecard.org reports that from 2013
to 2023 the Santa Ana Police Department has had 20 officer involved deaths, 268
misconduct complaints, and he spoke of the importance of accountability.
Councilmember Phan inquired regarding any legal restriction preventing the City
from following both the auditing and investigative model, POBR’s one-year statute
of limitations, ramifications of a potential POBR violation, and the importance of due
process. She stated that there is no state law preventing the Council from having
authority over the oversight director if the Charter were amended and she asked for
the reason staff recommended to strike Section 2-665(a). She inquired regarding
limitations the commission might have towards educating the public about the
complaint process.
City Manager Nuñez stated the strike out allows administrative authority to return to
the City Manager to ensure proper policies are implemented within the department.
City Attorney Carvalho spoke regarding the difference between a legislative body
providing the public information versus aggressive advocacy.
Councilmember Phan suggested the joint meeting be a study session, so the entire
Council can provide input.
Councilmember Bacerra spoke regarding section 2-665(B)4 and the ramifications
of potentially striking “sustained findings” from the section.
SECOND SUBSTITUTE MOTION: Councilmember Bacerra moved to approve
the ordinance as presented with the following amendments, Section 2-665(a)
add back in stricken language up to “City Manager,” Section 2-665(b)(3) strike
“results in death,” and Section 2-665(b)(4) strike “with sustained findings.”

RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Receive and file Boards and Commissions Biannual Attendance Report.
2. Provide direction to staff, if/as needed.
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No
DISCUSSION
The Boards and Commissions Attendance Report is prepared biannually to inform the
City Council regarding member attendance at board and commission meetings. This
report covers the period of January through June 2025.
Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section (SAMC) 2-326(c), if a member of a
board or commission absents themselves from two regular meetings of such board or
commission, consecutively, unless by permission of such board or commission
expressed in its official minutes, or fails to attend at least one-half of the regular
meetings of such board or commission within a calendar year, or is convicted of a crime
involving moral turpitude, or ceases to be a resident of the City, the office shall become
vacant and shall be so declared by the City Council.
Should the City Council find that any member of a board or commission meets the
above noted absence thresholds, City Council may declare such vacancy and remove
the board or commission member from their appointment. Any such vacancy would then
be subject to appointment to fill the unexpired portion of the existing term, pursuant to
SAMC Section 2-326(b) and following the required noticing procedures of Government
Code Section 54974(a).

During this reporting period, no board or commission member for a body listed in the
SAMC had two consecutive unexcused absences or missed at least half of the regular
meetings.
Approval of nominations concurrently listed on the August 5, 2025 agenda will result in
four boards/commissions having full membership, as follows:
•Arts and Culture Commission
•Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Commission
•Planning Commission
•Police Oversight Commission.
The other seven boards/commissions have at least one vacancy, as follows:
•Community Development Commission: 3 vacancies (Wards 1 and 2, Section 8
Tenant Seat)
•Environmental and Transportation Advisory Commission: 2 vacancies (Ward 5,
Hispanic Chamber of Commerce)
•Historic Resources Commission: 1 vacancy (Ward 5)
•Measure X Oversight Committee: 1 vacancy (Ward 1)
•Personnel Board: 2 vacancies (Wards 1 and 5)
•Rental Housing Board: 4 vacancies (Wards 2, 4, 5, and 6)
•Youth Commission: 2 vacancies (Wards 2 and 5)
At the end of this reporting period (June 30), the Rental Housing Board had three
vacancies. An additional resignation since that time has resulted in that body having
only three appointed members, which is less than a quorum, leaving them unable to
hold meetings and conduct business as required by the SAMC.

AGENDA TITLE
Orange County Grand Jury’s Investigative Report, Findings, and Recommendations
Regarding Long-Term Solutions to Short-Term Rentals and City’s Response to the
Findings and Recommendations
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive and file the Orange County Grand Jury’s investigative report, findings, and
recommendations regarding long- term solutions to short-term rentals and authorize the
City Manager to deliver the city’s response to the findings and recommendations to the
presiding judge of the Superior Court.
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No
DISCUSSION
The 2024-2025 Orange County Grand Jury (OCGJ) Report (Exhibit 1), received June 4,
2025 and titled "Long-Term Solutions to Short-Term Rentals," outlines the current status
and recent developments related to Short-Term Rentals (STRs). The study includes
thirty-four cities in Orange County including Santa Ana and focuses on cities with the
largest number of STRs and cities with bans on STRs, as well as coastal cities likely to
see large amounts of STR activity.
While STRs are not a new phenomenon in Orange County, the City has seen a notable
rise in STR activity over the past three years. The growth of Online Booking Agencies
(OBAs) such as Airbnb and Vrbo has further increased the visibility and prevalence of
STRs, raising concerns about public nuisances and community disruptions. While STRs
have existed in various forms throughout Orange County for over a decade, the
expansion of OBAs has made it easier for property owners to list and rent homes for short
durations, contributing to a regional increase in STRs.
The report provides an overview of current enforcement efforts, ongoing coordination
efforts, and future regulatory considerations. Although the City of Santa Ana does not

permit STRs within its jurisdiction, the use of OBAs has contributed to an uptick in
unpermitted STR operations in the city over the last three years.
In accordance with California Penal Code Sections 933 and 933.05, the OCGJ mandates
that the City must respond to the conclusions and recommendations outlined in the report.
The City of Santa Ana is required to respond to findings F1, F2, F3, and F12, as well as
recommendations R1, R2, and R9 of the OCGJ Report. The City is not required to
respond to the remaining findings and recommendations. An overview of the OCGJ's
findings, recommendations, and the City's corresponding responses, is attached as
Exhibit 2. These responses outline the City’s recent adoption of a clear, reiterated
prohibition of STRs (Ordinance No. NS-3072, adopted on December 3, 2024); ongoing
coordination among various departments and agencies on enforcement; and routine
reevaluation of local land use regulatory ordinances, such as the City’s zoning code.
Once authorized by the City Council, the responses documented in Exhibit 2 will be
submitted to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court.

Long-Term Solutions to Short-Term Rentals
2024-2025 Orange County Grand Jury Page 4
SUMMARY
Short-term rental (STR) is defined as occupancy of a residence such as a home or an apartment
for fewer than 30 days.
Some Orange County residents complain that the growth of STRs impinges on their quality of
life and adds costs to city government for additional code enforcement. The 2024-2025 Orange
County Grand Jury (Grand Jury) investigation revealed that:
• Cities with a growing number of STRs did not always receive higher complaint volumes.
• Some cities employ effective strategies to manage complaints and other cities can learn
from their success.
• When cities ban STRs, this often leads to a never-ending game of “whack-a-mole”—as
soon as one unpermitted STR is shut down, another opens.
• Code Enforcement (CE) errs on the side of leniency.
• Some cities rarely pursue fines for STR violations or collect the Transient Occupancy
Tax (TOT) on unreported STR income.
• Some cities rely on the “honor system” for STR owners to report and pay the correct
TOT.
• The commonly held belief that STRs negatively impact affordable housing is not evident
in cities with STRs.
This report identifies best practices that city councils and their planning departments can use to
more efficiently and effectively manage their STRs. This includes modifying STR ordinances,
and for some cities, utilizing third-party digital tools for better code enforcement and data
tracking to collect unreported TOT.
BACKGROUND
For many years, Orange County has been an international destination, with its forty-two miles of
scenic coastline, Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, Angel Stadium, Honda Center, and other
attractions. Vacation rental properties in Orange County’s beach communities go back many
decades; for instance, in the 1920s, Crystal Cove State Park offered camping sites to the public,
and in the 1940s it offered trailers.
For some, STRs are business opportunities. To others, STRs are a nuisance and impinge on
neighbors’ quality of life. In response to these conflicting priorities, some cities in Orange
County have banned STRs, some have limited their number, and some have no limits.

The advent of online booking agencies (OBAs) has made it even easier for homeowners (and
apartment lessees) to supplement their income by renting out their home or room and advertising
to millions around the world. As a result, STRs’ visibility has increased, creating tension
between STR operators and neighbors.
REASON FOR THE STUDY
Short-term rentals are a heated topic in Orange County cities. Various news reports have covered
the impact of STRs on local communities, and this motivated the Grand Jury to investigate how
effectively Orange County cities are managing STRs.
The scope of this study includes the thirty-four cities in Orange County, with a focus on cities
with the largest number of STRs and cities with bans on STRs, as well as coastal cities.
The Grand Jury studied STR permits and the effectiveness of STR bans. Finally, the Grand Jury
examined strategies to improve the quality of life for residents and to provide city planning
departments a compilation of tools that will assist in effectively balancing the expectations of the
residents and the business owners operating STRs.
METHOD OF STUDY
The Grand Jury conducted the following:
• Research on STR management and business models
o Survey of national publications with articles on STRs
City Council 10 – 7 8/5/2025
Long-Term Solutions to Short-Term Rentals
2024-2025 Orange County Grand Jury Page 6
o Review of websites, interviews, testimonials, and other materials produced by
companies serving the STR and hospitality markets or from contractors with
products for cities managing STRs
o Review of academic papers on STRs and their history
o Review of non-governmental agency white papers on STRs
• In-person interviews of city personnel
• Review of:
o City meeting minutes and recordings of residents’ concerns
o Various cities’ STR complaint processes
o City ordinances as well as state statutes
o California Coastal Commission guidance
o Third-party STR surveillance software used by cities
o Various cities’ STR complaints from June 2022 through June 2024
o Relevant legal rulings
• Analysis of TOT
INVESTIGATION
The Grand Jury learned that in most cases, STR operators are required to obtain a business
license, register with their city for a permit, submit reports, pass an inspection, and pay TOT.
This is a city-level tax levied on any temporary lodging that is occupied for fewer than thirty
days. All hotels, motels, and bed and breakfasts must remit this tax. Short-term rentals permitting
and other policies vary by city. A short-term rental’s TOT is paid either monthly, quarterly, or
annually. Most cities allowing STRs require a twenty-four-hour, in-person contact to address
complaints, within either thirty or sixty minutes.
Short-term rental operators often use one of the numerous OBAs, such as VRBO (from the
phrase Vacation Rentals by Owner), Airbnb, Zumper, and HomeAway. In addition, some
operators may advertise via direct booking sites (a website for their specific property) or through
local rental agents. Multiple OBAs mean that a unique property may have as many as a dozen
listings.

How Cities Manage STRs
In nearly every city, short-term rentals are regulated by ordinances that define operational rules,
establish fees for licensing and violations, and outline the appeals process. Often these rules
include disclosure to neighbors, a “Good Neighbor Policy” brochure for the renter, parking and
garbage policies, and quiet hours for the neighborhood. An emergency contact who would be
readily available to respond to a complaint is typically required. City ordinances may define who
can own and operate an STR. Cities may limit operation to the primary homeowner or renter, or
they may allow investors who own multiple STR properties.
The Grand Jury observed the following STR models:
Table 2: Models of short-term rentals
Hosted/Shared Housing Owner must be on the property/in
house
Primary Housing Rentals of an owner’s primary
residence are permitted
Unrestricted No restrictions on ownership (income-
producing property)
The Hosted/Shared model is when a homeowner or renter with an extra room rents it out for
fewer than thirty days. The host stays at the property during the guests’ stay, either in the house
or in an on-property Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). The Primary Housing model is when the
host rents out their principal home but is not present on the property. Unrestricted STRs are
income-producing properties, often owned by corporations and managed by property
management companies.

2024-2025 Orange County Grand Jury Page 8
Regardless of the model, neighbors have the expectation that STR businesses will be operated in
a responsible and respectful manner. Owner-occupied models make it easier for a neighbor with
a complaint to get resolution. In cities that use this model, formal complaints are fewer because
neighbors can quickly resolve issues between themselves.
Code Enforcement’s Role
Code Enforcement (CE) responsibilities include initial and ongoing inspections of STRs to
assure adherence to building codes, noise and parking requirements, along with monitoring city
complaint portals and searching for nonpermitted STRs. Code Enforcement officers also
investigate citizen complaints to substantiate claims and issue citations.
Revenue staff work in tandem with CE to process permits and licenses and to collect TOT and
other fees. In at least one city that has a waiting list for STR permits, revenue staff rather than
CE staff manage the list, which may delay or limit CE’s ability to find unpermitted STRs.
Several cities employ third-party platforms offering an array of services, including STR
registration portals, a complaints hotline and/or online portal, and tax payment portals. These
platforms offer efficient and potentially cost-effective options to aid staff monitoring STRs.
Cities may also select a third-party platform option that identifies both permitted and
unpermitted STRs advertising on OBAs.
STR Policies Vary in Orange County
Each of the thirty-four cities in Orange County has its own policies. As of this writing, nineteen
of the cities had a ban on all STRs and fifteen allowed STRs (see Table 1). Unincorporated areas
of the county (e.g., Rossmoor, North Tustin) are covered by County of Orange policy through
the OC Public Works department, which issues permits; however, the Grand Jury did not observe
STR volumes in unincorporated areas warranting analysis.
Cities With an STR Ban
The Grand Jury learned that it is difficult for cities to enforce a ban. Cities report that after they
enacted a ban, the volume of STRs saw a notable decline; however, some unpermitted STRs still
continued to operate. Cities may use a rental identification database and a complaint portal to
improve compliance, often through third-party software. These databases can often identify the
address of an unpermitted STR and allow follow-up with the property owner. At least one city
with technologically savvy CE staff has performed this task without help from a third-party
platform.
All cities in the coastal zone have permits for STRs, and this is linked to mandates from the
California Coastal Commission (CCC) which issued a 2016 memo with guidance that coastal
cities provide “lower cost visitor…facilities” and beach access via STRs.
City Council 10 – 10 8/5/2025
Long-Term Solutions to Short-Term Rentals
2024-2025 Orange County Grand Jury Page 9
Cities Without a Specific STR Ordinance
Some cities without an STR ordinance have operated on the assumption that because STRs are
not defined by an ordinance, they are banned. However, when an STR operator challenges a
citation, these cities have often discovered that the subsequent court ruling goes against the city,
as evidenced by recent cases described below. Cities often respond to these losses by drafting
new ordinances and amendments, but sometimes a new STR operator will find another legal gap,
and the “whack-a-mole” game continues.
Multi-unit apartment complexes may also host unpermitted STRs in cities that have bans. Photos
used in online advertising often make complexes easy to find, but identifying specific units may
be difficult. Property managers are more familiar with the units and can sometimes help CE track
these down.
Some properties without permits are advertised on foreign-language websites. Image searches
may uncover these host sites, but the Grand Jury did not identify any solution yet for this
challenge.
How Cities Collect Complaints
Many Orange County cities provide an online complaint portal as well as a telephone hotline;
these services are staffed by a third-party platform or by city staff. In cities that allow STRs,
Code Enforcement will reach out to the STR emergency contact to initiate complaint resolution.
Issues with STR Code Enforcement
Most STR operators want to avoid citations and fines. Neighbor complaints can lead to notices of
violation, fines, and ultimately revocation of the STR operating permit. With effective
enforcement, STRs that violate city codes receive a citation and/or fine. This can result in
improved behavior on the part of the STR operator.
In the fifteen cities that allow STRs, neighbors face hurdles in complaint resolution. This, along
with laxity in enforcement, may explain why fewer than ten percent of STRs record a complaint
in a given year, a number that fails to reflect the frustration of STR neighbors.
Tracking and confirmation of complaints is often difficult. In order to enforce STR ordinance
rules, code or law enforcement must first substantiate that the source is an STR. In some cities
that permit STRs, Code Enforcement works only during regular business hours. Nuisance reports
often occur in the evening or early morning, when CE may not be on duty. Therefore, residents
or other complainants do not receive a timely response and the problem is not resolved at the
time of the actual nuisance, if ever.
City Council 10 – 11 8/5/2025
Long-Term Solutions to Short-Term Rentals
2024-2025 Orange County Grand Jury Page 10
Most ordinances require an emergency contact for each STR, but a review of hundreds of
complaints between 2022 and 2024 shows that in a number of cases the contact does not respond
either in the thirty- or sixty-minute required time frame.
Warnings and citations may take up to a week to issue and are recorded in an STR complaint log.
The STR operator may appeal the citation. Initial appeals are made through a city official or a
third-party administrative officer. This can take some time, during which the STR may continue
to operate. An ordinance without an appeals procedure may be challenged in the courts.
The Grand Jury learned that in most cities, CE investigates complaints with a fair bit of leniency.
First, the CE officer will visit the property and confirm the violation. The most common
complaint is noise, and this violation must be observed and verified by the CE officer. Other
complaints may involve vehicle parking, trash, and exceeding permitted occupancy. The CE
officer often works through the emergency contact to resolve problems and often will issue a
warning rather than a citation.
Tools That Help Code Enforcement Accomplish Their Goals
Cities that allow STRs would benefit from a system that geographically integrates STR owner
contact information, permit, and business license numbers. Having this information readily
available would enable CE to respond to complaints more effectively. Some of the third-party
platforms offer these tools, but using a third-party platform requires a degree of technical
knowledge and an investment in Code Enforcement training. Some cities accomplish this work
with internal tools and staff.
Beyond responding to complaints, CE in some cities proactively inspect permitted STRs and/or
confirm the emergency contacts. These inspections confirm occupancy limits, ensure that safety
equipment is onsite, and validate that no unpermitted construction has been done on the property.
Legal Cases Uncover Gaps in STR Ordinances
Recent cases up and down the state have established firm guidance for cities as they deal with
STR issues. The Grand Jury identified a few cases that clarified areas of ambiguity in existing
STR ordinances:

zoning.
Kracke v. City of Santa Barbara, 63
Cal. App. 5th 1089 (2021)
Coastal cities need to secure and comply with
Coastal Commission rulings before drafting
any limiting ordinances pertaining to STRs.
These rulings highlight gaps in city ordinances and may provide grounds for appeal of STR
citations. In light of these rulings, the cities of Anaheim and Santa Ana amended their codes to
incorporate language that plugs the gaps, resulting in more effective STR enforcement.
Managing Permit Scarcity
Limits on the number of STR permits create a quasi-monopoly. In some cities, the permit limit
was set at a point in time when no limit existed. The cities selected a number slightly greater than
the inventory then in existence. Once the limit was set, these cities saw an acceleration in
applications up to the limit.
In some cities, STRs are excluded only in certain zones. Single family home (R1) zones and
Homeowner Associations (HOAs) often have exclusions. Other cities permit unlimited STRs in a
“vacation home zone” near the beach or an attraction. Still others allow one STR in a fixed
radius (typically 300 feet), which effectively limits permits.
At least three cities (Newport Beach, Dana Point, and Orange) have created waiting lists in
response to having more applications than available permits. However, STR operators rarely
voluntarily relinquish their permits. If an STR has been converted to a long-term rental, then it is
no longer subject to TOT. Unless the STR operator informs the city of the conversion, a city that
only collects TOT annually (as at least one city does) will not know for a year that the unit is no
longer operating as an STR. At that point, as they have not received any TOT from the unit, the
City Council 10 – 13 8/5/2025
Long-Term Solutions to Short-Term Rentals
2024-2025 Orange County Grand Jury Page 12
city can initiate proceedings to rescind the STR permit and pass it on to the next applicant on the
waiting list. However, the STR operator can appeal, and this can extend the process even longer.
Some cities allow permit holders to transfer their permit to a family member or to the new owner
of their property, thus circumventing the waiting list altogether. A system where permits expire
after a certain time would afford those on the waiting list an opportunity to be placed ahead of
renewals, thus creating a more equitable process. One city, Dana Point, has set a limit on
investor-owned properties, allowing more Hosted STRs to have priority in getting permits.
Collecting TOT Revenue
The fifteen cities that allow STRs (see Table 1) collect TOT on STR revenue, plus any fees
charged to the renter. Operators report TOT to cities either annually, quarterly, or monthly.
Monthly reporting of TOT has several advantages: cities receive TOT sooner, the STR owner
has a smoother and more predictable cash flow, and cities can quickly identify non-revenue-
producing STRs.
In cities like Dana Point and Anaheim, TOT represents a substantial percentage of city revenue;
however, nearly all of this comes from hotels. Short-term rental TOT in Newport Beach
represents thirty percent of total TOT collections, contributing two percent of city revenues.
Newport Beach has the greatest share of TOT revenue from STRs (with 1,550 units) and the
greatest number of STRs of all Orange County cities. Transient Occupancy Tax rates vary by
city from eight to seventeen percent. Despite the limited amounts, each city that collects short-
term rental TOT increases their general fund.
Each city handles TOT collection differently. Newport Beach collects quarterly from agents who
operate STRs and annually from STR homeowners, using paper-based forms. This system does
not allow for easy tracking of short-term rental TOT by permit number because multiple units at
the same address (with separate permits) may be combined on the form. A digital submission by
unique permit number, such as is used by the City of Orange, is easy and provides greater detail
to the city.
The City of Anaheim has agreements called Voluntary Collection Agreements (VCAs) with a
number of Online Booking Agency platforms that enable monthly TOT remittance from short-
term rental advertising on the OBA. In most cases, OBAs share a spreadsheet with totals only;
however, at least one platform remits with detailed addresses with amounts by address. It is
possible for an OBA to send more detailed data and for the city to integrate it into its information
systems, but as yet no city appears to have negotiated with an OBA to implement this direct
reporting. Requiring an OBA to report more detail ensures that all STR tax from Online Booking
Agency is reported, collected, and remitted to the city, whether the STR is permitted or not.
However, this system still would not capture STRs booked directly with the operator, which may
be up to 30-60% of gross rental revenue.
City Council 10 – 14 8/5/2025
Long-Term Solutions to Short-Term Rentals
2024-2025 Orange County Grand Jury Page 13
At least one city (Orange) requires that TOT reporting include the number of days the STR is
available for rent and number of days rented each month. Capturing these statistics facilitates
desk auditing.
A “desk audit” is a remote review of the STR operators’ reported information to ensure
compliance with TOT reporting requirements. This is in contrast to a “business-level audit,”
which is performed by the city on site and involves verification of the reported information
against third-party records, such as bank statements.
The Grand Jury’s review of a subset of Orange County cities did not identify any that did more
than desk audits on short-term rental TOT receipts. Put simply, these cities currently rely on the
“honor system.” Conducting business-level audits would allow cities to discover and collect
additional funds. However, a city should consider the cost of enforcement versus the financial
benefit of STR business audits, especially in smaller cities with limited short-term rental TOT.
Major Events Fuel Demand for STRs
Reports from the 2024 Olympic games indicate that the average price per night of STRs in and
around Paris more than doubled during the Olympics, and total inventory grew by nearly fifty
percent. With the coming 2026 Los Angeles World Cup and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics,
these surges are likely to be seen in Orange County, especially with the Honda Center and
Trestles Beach—both in Orange County—being used as Olympic venues. Orange County cities
have not yet dedicated resources to plan around STRs for these major events.
STR Impact on Affordable Housing
Some housing advocates argue that STRs reduce the inventory of much needed and mandated
affordable housing. The Grand Jury found that STRs have a negligible effect on affordable
housing in cities that currently allow STRs. The Southern California Association of
Governments, acting under the direction of the State Housing Element Law, sets a mandated
volume of new units by city for Very Low Income (VLI) and Low Income (LI) units, and this
analysis uses it as the estimate of needed affordable units.
The Grand Jury’s analysis of inland cites suggests that if their existing STR units were converted
to affordable housing, they would contribute at most about eight percent (125/1,671 from Table
4) of the affordable units required (in the city of Orange), and a much smaller percentage in other
inland cities.
On the other hand, in coastal cities, the STR volumes appear to meet a sizable portion of
affordable unit goals. However, coastal cities must comply with State law enforced through the
California Coastal Commission (CCC). The CCC weighs in on all coastal development and
changes, and any modification of a city’s zoning rules or limits on STRs would be subject to the
CCC’s approval. The CCC’s stated goal is to preserve access to public beaches and low-cost
City Council 10 – 15 8/5/2025
Long-Term Solutions to Short-Term Rentals
2024-2025 Orange County Grand Jury Page 14
short-term housing, which includes STRs. It is therefore unrealistic to expect that coastal STRs
would be converted to long-term affordable housing in any sizeable number.

Equally important is the fact that there is rarely a one-to-one relationship between STRs and
long-term housing. In many areas of the County, STRs are luxury or large-scale homes. It is
extremely unlikely that such homes could or would be easily converted into affordable housing
or demolished to create multiple affordable dwellings. Aside from the complications of such an
endeavor, the likelihood that neighbors would acquiesce to these changes is negligible.
Based on the above factors, the Grand Jury concludes that, contrary to widely held belief, STRs
should not be considered a significant factor in the availability of affordable housing in Orange
County cities with STRs.
STRs Can be Good Neighbors
The burden of getting STR operators to function in a community friendly way should be on the
operator and government, not the neighborhood residents. Best practices include the following:
• Updated ordinances that limit how STRs can advertise and specifically exclude STRs
from banned cities
• Concise city permitting guidance
City Council 10 – 16 8/5/2025
Long-Term Solutions to Short-Term Rentals
2024-2025 Orange County Grand Jury Page 15
• An easy-to-use complaint system for residents
• Diligent code enforcement
• Requiring an in-person contact
• Permit numbers in all advertising
• Monthly electronic collection of TOT
Several Orange County cities, such as Seal Beach, Dana Point, and Orange, have clear permitting
procedures that explicitly outline Good Neighbor policies, yielding low complaint rates.
Anaheim and Santa Ana have made ordinance revisions that improve the odds that their cities
will prevail in appeals to STR citations. Newport Beach, Dana Point, and Anaheim perform
regular inspections on new and existing STRs to ensure units are safe and code compliant.
Incorporating the above elements in a city’s ordinances and practicing effective code
enforcement would enhance the relationship between STR business operators and their
neighbors. Moreover, better communication among cities to share these best practices would
greatly improve the management of STRs.
FINDINGS
In accordance with California Penal Code Sections 933 and 933.05, the 2024-2025 Grand Jury
requires (or as noted, requests) responses from each agency affected by the findings presented in
this section. The responses are to be submitted to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court.
Based on its investigation “Long-Term Solutions to Short-Term Rentals,” the 2024-2025 Orange
County Grand Jury has arrived at twelve findings, as follows:
F1: Despite the increasing media coverage of Online Booking Agencies (OBAs), STRs are not a
new phenomenon in Orange County.
F2: The steady growth of STR usage in the last decade raises concerns of potential public
nuisance.
F3: Even with robust Code Enforcement, a city’s statutory ban on STRs is not enough to keep
STRs from operating.
F4: Anaheim’s ordinance requires OBAs to report Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) directly to
the city. This has led to the favorable consequence that unpermitted STR income is reported to
the city.
City Council 10 – 17 8/5/2025
Long-Term Solutions to Short-Term Rentals
2024-2025 Orange County Grand Jury Page 16
F5: Proactive home inspections of new and renewing STRs, which have been implemented in
some Orange County cities, improve code enforcement and STR compliance with city
ordinances.
F6: Direct remittance of taxes by OBAs does not capture all TOT for an STR because of direct
booking practices.
F7: Some cities in Orange County have outdated systems for tracking short-term rental TOT
making the process less effective and more difficult for staff.
F8: In some cases, STRs are improperly recharacterized as long-term rentals to circumvent the
collection of TOT and any applicable penalties.
F9: Online Booking Agencies in foreign languages are outside the current capabilities of Code
Enforcement to monitor and track unpermitted STRs.
F10: Cities that fail to routinely review their STR waiting lists potentially lose TOT revenue and
contribute to a greater prevalence of unpermitted STRs.
F11: Locations that have hosted major events have reported an outsized increase in demand and
pricing of STRs, a situation Orange County is likely to experience with the upcoming 2026 Los
Angeles World Cup and 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
F12: City leaders have no regular communication with each other concerning STR issues,
limiting opportunities to develop strategies and expertise to improve service.
RECOMMENDATIONS
In accordance with California Penal Code Sections 933 and 933.05, the 2024-2025 Grand Jury
requires (or, as indicated, requests) responses from each agency affected by the
recommendations presented in this section. The responses are to be submitted to the Presiding
Judge of the Superior Court.
Based on its investigation described herein, the 2024-2025 Orange County Grand Jury makes the
following nine recommendations:
R1: Cities should review and begin to update ordinances to keep up with the rapidly changing
nature of court findings and legislation related to STRs, by December 31, 2025, and no less
frequently than every three years thereafter. (F4, F12)
R2: Cities should consider developing a plan for upcoming major events that are expected to
create a surge in demand for STRs and its associated Transient Occupancy Tax, by December
31, 2025, and no less frequently than every two years thereafter. (F11)
City Council 10 – 18 8/5/2025
Long-Term Solutions to Short-Term Rentals
2024-2025 Orange County Grand Jury Page 17
R3: Cities that allow STRs should evaluate the benefit of ordinances facilitating Voluntary
Collection Agreements requiring OBAs to submit TOT directly, by June 30, 2026. (F4, F12)
R4: Cities that allow STRs should evaluate the benefit of collecting TOT on a monthly basis by
individual property, by June 30, 2026. (F7, F8)
R5: Cities should require STRs to include the number of days rented per month per permit to
facilitate short-term rental TOT desk audits by November 30, 2025. (F7, F8)
R6: Cities with a permit waiting list should implement strategies to remove non-revenue-
generating licenses to allow for fair access by December 31, 2025, and annually thereafter. (F7,
F10)
R7: Cities that allow STRs should consider allocating resources to update their short-term rental
TOT tracking systems by September 30, 2026. (F7, F8, F10)
R8: Cities that allow STRs should consider random multi-year audits to confirm TOT by June
30,2026, and annually thereafter. (F6, F7, F8)
R9: City leaders should have regular discussions with each other to share STR management
strategies on a biannual basis commencing no later than January 1, 2026. (F12)

Exhibit 2
Page 1 of 3
Finding City Position
(1 or 2)*
Response to Finding
F1: Despite the increasing media coverage of Online
Booking Agencies (OBAs), STRs are not a new
phenomenon in Orange County.
1 Although STRs are not a new phenomenon in Orange County, the City
of Santa Ana has seen a significant rise of STRs within the last three
years, likely attributed to a growth in tourism following the global
Covid-19 pandemic and the growth of Online Booking Agencies
(OBAs).
F2: The steady growth of STR usage in the last decade
raises concerns of potential public nuisance.
1 The steady growth of STRs in Santa Ana has raised concerns of public
nuisance and community disruption. These include:
•Loud music and disruptive gatherings
•Illegal parking of vehicles
•Trash accumulation and lack of waste management
These nuisances have resulted in adverse impacts on residential
neighborhoods, challenging the City’s efforts to preserve quality of
life and neighborhood integrity.
F3: Even with robust Code Enforcement, a city’s
statutory ban on STRs is not enough to keep STRs
from operating.
2 The City’s Code Enforcement staff has the ability to receive,
investigate, and issue the required citations to a property owner in
violation of the City’s statutory ban on STRs. However, despite a
statutory ban on STRs, enforcement remains a persistent challenge.
Many STRs continue to operate covertly, often changing listings or
locations to evade detection.
Santa Ana’s Code Enforcement team remains committed to
addressing violations. The City’s Code Enforcement staff is equipped
to:
•Receive and investigate complaints
•Identify violators
•Issue citations to property owners operating illegal STRs
While enforcement is ongoing, it is limited by the evolving and
decentralized nature of online rental platforms.

Finding City Position
(1 or 2)*
Response to Finding
F12: City leaders have no regular communication with
each other concerning STR issues, limiting
opportunities to develop strategies and expertise to
improve service.
2 Effective STR management requires continuous communication and
collaboration. Although previously cited as lacking regular
coordination, City staff and the City Attorney’s Office now meet
frequently to discuss STR-related issues and develop strategies to
improve service and enforcement effectiveness. Continued
collaboration with the Santa Ana Police Department for calls for
service and enforcement inspections is an essential component of
this collaborative climate.

Page 3 of 3
Recommendation City Position
(1, 2, 3, or
4)*
Response to Recommendation
R1: Cities should review and begin to update
ordinances to keep up with the rapidly changing
nature of court findings and legislation related to
STRs, by December 31, 2025, and no less frequently
than every three years thereafter.
1 The City of Santa Ana updated its municipal code on December 3,
2024, as it relates to STRs. Moreover, the Planning Division is
currently comprehensively updating the City’s zoning code, which will
include consistency with the latest state and federal laws, as well as
court rulings. Completion of the comprehensive update to the zoning
code is expected to occur fall 2025. These updates demonstrate the
City’s proactive approach to maintaining a legally sound regulatory
framework.
R2: Cities should consider developing a plan for
upcoming major events that are expected to create a
surge in demand for STRs and its associated Transient
Occupancy Tax, by December 31, 2025, and no less
frequently than every two years thereafter.
1 The City’s Planning Division recommends updates to its zoning code
for Planning Commission and City Council consideration on a yearly
basis to address changes to state and federal law, and any court
ruling affecting land use. The City does not permit STRs within its
jurisdiction, so there is no need to develop a strategy to address
surge in demand. If the policy direction related to STRs changes, the
City will develop a robust inter-agency team to create a regulatory
framework to permit and tax such a use.
R9: City leaders should have regular discussions with
each other to share STR management strategies on a
biannual basis commencing no later than January 1,
2026.
1 City staff, along with the City Attorney’s Office, will continue to have
regular discussions to share STR management strategies. This
collaboration also includes input from the Santa Ana Police
Department.
*For the purposes of this Orange County Grand Jury Report, City Position 1 indicates the recommendation has been implemented, with a summary
regarding the implemented action; City Position 2 indicates the recommendation has not yet been implemented, but will be implemented in the future, with
a timeframe for implementation; City Position 3 indicates the recommendation requires further analysis, with an explanation and the scope and parameters
of an analysis or study, and a timeframe for the matter to be prepared for discussion by the officer or head of the agency or department being investigated
or reviewed, including the governing body of the public agency when applicable (timeframe shall not exceed six months from the date of publication of the
grand jury report); and City Position 4 indicates the recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted or is not reasonable, with an
explanation therefor.

AGENDA TITLE
Agreements with SLS Property Solutions, Inc., Real Estate Consulting & Services, Inc.,
Quality Sprayers, Inc., and Hunter Consulting, Inc. DBA HCI Environmental &
Engineering Services for On-Call Trash, Weed, Rubbish, Sanitation Abatement, and
Board-Up Services for the Planning and Building Agency (Specification No. 25-025)
(Non-General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute agreements with SLS Property Solutions, Inc.,
Real Estate Consulting & Services, Inc., Quality Sprayers, Inc., and Hunter Consulting,
Inc. DBA HCI Environmental & Engineering Services for citywide on-call trash, weeds,
rubbish, sanitation abatement and board up services in an aggregate amount not to
exceed $450,000 for a term beginning August 5, 2025 and expiring August 4, 2028, with
provisions for two, one-year renewal options (Core Agreement No. A-2025-XXX).
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes
DISCUSSION
The Code Enforcement Division is the primary division within the City of Santa Ana
responsible for resolving public nuisances related to abandoned properties, illegal
occupancy, vacant land, and unsecured buildings on residential, commercial, and public
right-of-way areas, following approval from the Executive Director of the Planning and
Building Agency. Beyond these, the Division addresses weed abatement, sanitation,
and rubbish removal on occupied properties through legal administrative means. Large-
scale abatement efforts may need the use of specialized machinery, including track
loaders, truck and semi-end dump trailer combinations, water trucks, high-reach
forklifts, stake bed trucks, and backhoes, especially when biohazardous materials are
involved.
Unmaintained properties—whether abandoned, substandard, or neglected—attract
crime and vandalism, posing a significant threat to the health and safety of the
surrounding community. These dangerous structures often become public nuisances,
attracting graffiti, vermin, overgrown vegetation, dumping, encampments, and
trespassing. Even abandoned swimming pools can become breeding grounds for

Trash, Weeds, Rubbish, Sanitation Abatement, and Board Up Services

insects and a serious drowning risk.
The Code Enforcement Division is responsible for investigating and resolving these
hazardous conditions. This includes, but is not limited to, issues such as unsecured or
open structures, vacant lots, unfenced parcels, overgrown vegetation, accumulated
trash and debris, and unkempt swimming pools. As defined by California Health and
Safety Code (Section 17920.3), these conditions create immediate dangers, severe
blight, and threaten public life, health, property, and safety.
In addition to the California Health and Safety Code, the Santa Ana Municipal Code
(SAMC) designates all dangerous buildings or portions thereof as public nuisances.
These nuisances must be corrected through repair, rehabilitation, demolition, or
removal. When City inspections uncover such hazardous conditions, a formal notice is
issued to the property owner, requiring them to remedy the issues promptly. If the owner
fails to correct the hazardous conditions within the specified timeframe, the City may
hire a contractor to perform the necessary abatement. This can include weed and
sanitation clean-ups, boarding up structures, and other measures to secure the
property. All costs associated with the abatement, along with administrative fees
authorized by Santa Ana Municipal Code Chapter 17, are then billed to the property
owner.
Cost Recovery and Legal Action
The City actively pursues reimbursement of all resulting abatement costs from the
property owner. If these costs are not repaid in a timely manner, they are referred to the
Orange County Tax Assessor to be recorded as a lien on the property. Furthermore, the
City Attorney's Office may initiate criminal action against the property owner.
Consultant Selection
In some cases, the Code Enforcement Division hires qualified, experienced consultants
for specific projects. Being on the City’s pre-approved list does not guarantee work.
Firms are selected based on their ability to perform the required work within specific
timeframes and budget constraints. This streamlined approval process allows the City to
quickly engage expert assistance, respond effectively to fluctuating demands, and
ultimately provide better service to the City of Santa Ana.
Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 25-085 was issued on June 3, 2025 on the City’s
online bid management and publication system. A summary of vendor participation and
results is as follows:
1 Santa Ana vendor notified
22 Vendors downloaded the RFP packet
6 Proposals received
1 Proposal received from Santa Ana vendor

Proposals were solicited, opened on June 17, 2025, and evaluated. Six proposals were
submitted by the RFP deadline and four (4) were determined to be responsive to the
specifications and met the City’s requirements. An evaluation committee reviewed and
rated the proposals according to the criteria listed in the RFP. The proposal submitted
by the vendor from Santa Ana was disqualified because it was incomplete and was not
responsive to the RFP’s pricing requirements.
Staff recommends awarding the four (4) agreements with: SLS Property Solutions, Inc.;
Real Estate Consulting & Services, Inc.; Quality Sprayers, Inc.; and Hunter Consulting,
Inc. DBA HCI Environmental & Engineering Services, which provided complete and
qualifying responses to the City’s RFP (Exhibits 1-4).
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding will be available in current FY 25-26 budget and funding for subsequent fiscal
years will be included in the proposed budgets for the city Council Consideration. As
noted in the Cost Recovery and Legal Action section, these costs are expected to be
reimbursed by the property owner. Reimbursements will be deposited into Account
12116002-53507 (Planning’s Special Repair / Demolition – Emergency Repair
Assessment).

agents, employees, contractors, special counsel, and representatives from liability: (1) for personal
injury, damages, just compensation, restitution, judicial or equitable relief arising out of claims for
personal injury, including death, and claims for property damage, which may arise from the
negligent operations of the Contractor, its subcontractors, agents, employees, or other persons

further agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and pay all costs for the defense of the City, including
fees and costs for special counsel to be selected by the City, regarding any action by a third party
challenging the validity of this Agreement, or asserting that personal injury, damages, just
compensation, restitution, judicial or equitable relief due to personal or property rights arises by
reason of the terms of, or effects arising from this Agreement. City may make all reasonable
decisions with respect to its representation in any legal proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
to the extent Contractor’s services are subject to Civil Code Section 2782.8, the above indemnity
shall be limited, to the extent required by Civil Code Section 2782.8, to claims that arise out of,
pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor.
8. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNIFICATION
Contractor shall defend and indemnify the City, its officers, agents, representatives, and
employees against any and all liability, including costs, for infringement of any United States’
letters patent, trademark, or copyright infringement, including costs, contained in the work product
or documents provided by Contractor to the City pursuant to this Agreement.

Staff Report

TOPIC: Collection Agency Services
AGENDA TITLE
Agreement with BC Services, Inc. for Collection Agency Services (Specification No. 25-
040) (General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with BC Services, Inc. to provide
collection agency services for a term beginning August 5, 2025 and expiring August 4,
2028, with provisions for two (2) 1-year extensions (Agreement No. A-2025-XXX).
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes
DISCUSSION
As part of its regular operations, the City routinely processes payments to vendors and
collects monies owed to Santa Ana. The Treasury and Customer Services Division (TCS)
has historically led the City’s collection efforts, managing delinquent account referrals
from all agencies. In addition, the City contracts with outside billing and collection services
for paramedic services and parking ticket citations. When both internal efforts and
contracted services are unable to recover outstanding debts, the accounts may be
referred to an outside collection agency for further action.
To support these efforts, TCS is committed to using all available resources to increase
the collection of monies legally owed to the City. The City makes several attempts to
collect in-house before delinquent accounts are referred to collection agencies. As part
of this process, the City issues a minimum of three collection letters to individuals and
businesses with outstanding balances. These letters notify them of the amount owed and
may offer payment alternatives, such as installment plans. The City strives to ensure that
a resident or business is provided an opportunity to resolve their debt before it is escalated
to a collection agency. If a customer fails to respond or does not adhere to a mutually
agreed upon payment schedule, the account is referred to a third-party collection agency
for further action.
The referral of delinquent accounts to third-party collection agencies is an efficient method
in managing debts owed to the City. These agencies have the resources required to
City Council 12 – 1 8/5/2025
Collection Agency Services

monitor accounts in addition to ensuring compliance with the Fair Debt Collection
Practices Act (FDCPA), Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), and other legislation.
The selected proposer has proven to adhere to all of the rules required for debt collection,
including state laws that protect debtors from harassment, abuse, and deceptive
practices. These rules include restrictions on communication times, the use of
threatening or profane language, and the representative of debt collection practices.
The City’s current agreement with its temporary collection agency servicer expires
September 30, 2025. To enhance debt recovery and resume regular collection cycles,
staff initiated a competitive bidding process. Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 25-040
was issued on March 12, 2025, on the City’s online bid management and publication
system. A summary of vendor participation and results is as follows:
72 Vendors Notified
1 Santa Ana Vendor Notified
31 Vendors Downloaded the RFP Packet
9 Proposals Received
0 Proposals Received from Santa Ana Vendors
Proposals were solicited, opened on April 10, 2025, and evaluated. Nine (9) proposals
were submitted by the RFP deadline, and eight (8) proposals were determined to be
responsive to the specifications and met the City’s requirements. An evaluation
committee reviewed the responsive proposals and rated them according to the criteria
listed in the RFP.
Staff recommends awarding an agreement to the BC Services, Inc. (“BCS”) (Exhibit 1).
The proposal submitted by BCS was found to meet the City’s needs, offers the best value,
and is appropriate for the services requested. BC Services possesses a strong
background and experience, understanding of the scope of work, and value added
customer service.
Local Outreach Efforts
The Purchasing Division advertised this project on the City’s online bid management and
publication system, which directly notified one (1) Santa Ana vendor. However, no Santa
Ana vendors downloaded the RFP packet or submitted a bid for consideration.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Payment for services is contingent upon successful collection, regardless of effort spent
on individual accounts. There is no direct fiscal impact on any expenditure accounts. The
vendor will retain a fee ranging from 14.5% to 25% of the amounts collected. This
includes 14.5% for accounts placed with the vendor for initial collection efforts and 25%
City Council 12 – 2 8/5/2025
Collection Agency Services

for accounts that have previously been worked by another collection agency or that
require City-authorized legal action.
These types of fees are standard within the industry and are lower than the rates currently
paid by the City. BCS has also agreed that the City may withdraw any uncollected
accounts at any time without charge or penalty. As a result, net revenues will be reduced
by the amount paid to the vendor for collections.

TOPIC: Citywide Budget Management Software
AGENDA TITLE
Agreement with Euna Solutions, Inc for Maintenance and Support of Citywide Budget
Management Software (Specification No. 25-020) (General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Euna Solutions, Inc. for the
maintenance and support of Citywide budget management software in an amount not to
exceed $585,565, for a term beginning August 15, 2025 and expiring August 14, 2028,
with provisions for two (2), one-year extensions (Agreement No. A-2025-XXX).
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes
DISCUSSION
Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 25-020 was issued on February 11, 2025 on the City’s
online bid management and publication system. A summary of vendor participation and
results is as follows:
453 Vendors notified
37 Santa Ana vendors notified
4 Responsive proposals received
0 Proposals received from Santa Ana vendors
Proposals were solicited, opened on March 6, 2025, and evaluated. Four proposals were
submitted by the RFP deadline and were determined to be responsive to the
specifications and met the City’s requirements. An evaluation committee reviewed and
rated the proposals according to the criteria listed in the RFP.
Staff recommends awarding an agreement to the highest-ranked firm, Euna Solutions,
Inc. (Exhibit 1). The proposal submitted by Euna Solutions, Inc. for Euna Budget
Professional was determined by the Committee to be the most well suited for the City’s
needs while simultaneously providing the best value.

The City began utilizing Euna Budget Professional (known at the time as Questica
Budget) in January 2018. This comprehensive budget management software currently
includes the following key components:
•Operating & Capital- Streamlines the development of the City’s annual
operating and capital improvement budgets.
•Personnel Module- Provides multi-year forecasing and calculation of labor
costs.
•OpenBook- A transparency tool that displays interactive charts and tables
of current and prior year budgets. The portal also includes vendor payments
and contracts approved by the City Manager, providing a comprehensive
view of the City’s financial activity. The OpenBook portal is publicly
accessible here: https://santaana.openbook.questica.com/#/.
The initial implementation enhanced the City’s reporting capabilities, automated workflow
processes for budget development, and integrated seamlessly with existing financial and
payroll systems.
As part of this expanded partnership with Euna Solutions, the City will upgrade to the
latest version of Euna Budget Professional and implement the Budget Book Studio
module. Budget Book Studio is expected to greatly reduce the staff time needed to
produce the annual budget book by automating content generation and enabling easy
export to PDF for printing.
The City will soon be undertaking the implementation of a new Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) system to replace its aging financial system. The ERP implementation
does not include a budgeting software module, as staff determined that an external
provider, such as Euna Solutions, best meets the City’s budgeting needs. It is expected
that this software will integrate with the new ERP system once fully implemented to ensure
seamless financial and budget operations.
Currently, the City is not eligible for major software version upgrades due to its on-site
setup. Migrating to the cloud will allow the City to utilize the most optimized version of the
software, further improving operational efficiency and supporting integration with the new
ERP system.
Costs are higher in Year 1 due to the one-time implementation costs associated with
migration to a cloud-based service and Budget Book Studio. If the agreement is approved
by City Council, staff anticipates incorporating these additional new features into the
FY2026-27 budget development process.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.

AGENDA TITLE
Authorize Funding for One (1) Additional Year for a Learning Management System
Agreement with Meridian Knowledge Solutions, LLC
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize funding at reduced subscription fees for one (1) additional year for the
agreement with Meridian Knowledge Solutions, LLC, for the Learning Management
System (“LMS”) subscription at an annual rate of $30,362, and the add-on service of
web-based training content at an annual rate of $42,064.
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes
DISCUSSION
On June 17, 2025, City Council authorized funding for two additional years for the
Learning Management System (LMS) at $34,006 annually and the add-on service of web-
based training content through OpenSesame at an annual rate of $42,064 for fiscal years
25-2026 and 2026-2027. Since that request was approved, staff has negotiated a
reduction in LMS service fees for the LMS at a rate of $30,362 per year. However, this
reduction in rate requires acknowledgement of a third, optional year in 2027-2028.
Acceptance of this new rate and optional third year allows for the City to pay the reduced
fee for the LMS subscription for all three years and be able to cancel prior to the third year
if the services are no longer required. Staff is requesting approval for this third, optional
year in order to take advantage of the lower rate for all years. Prior to the 2027-2028
Fiscal Year, staff will evaluate the need of the LMS and cancel the subscription if it is no
longer needed. Acceptance of this new rate results in a General Fund savings of $3,644
per year.
The City’s agreement with Meridian Knowledge Solutions auto renews unless notice of
cancellation is provided prior to the new term. City staff will review service needs prior to
the ending of the two year term.

4. Approve an Appropriation Adjustment of $1,345,359 in Liability and Property Insurance
Revenue to utilize the fund balance through the Prior Year Carryforward revenue
account (No. 08009002-50001) and appropriate spending of the original adopted

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No
DISCUSSION
Staff is recommending renewal with ICRMA, a joint powers authority formed in 1980 in
accordance with California Government Code Section 6500. ICRMA’s purpose is to
provide: 1) excess and re-insurance to protect member cities from extensive financial
debt due to large claims, settlements, and judgments; 2) group insurance purchasing
power that can offer broader coverage at a lower cost; 3) rate stability; and 4) protect
individual member cities through pooling of losses and self-insurance. ICRMA also offers
to its members actuarial services, appraisal services, loss control assessments and
recommendations, safety trainings, claims audits, contract risk transfer consultation, and
other services and resources. Currently comprised of 14 California cities, Santa Ana
joined ICRMA in July 2019.
For this renewal period:
•The City’s Workers’ Compensation coverage experienced a decrease of
approximately one-half percent (-0.5%).
•The City’s Liability and Property premiums increased approximately twelve percent
(12%).
•The City’s Property & Equipment Program premium increased approximately one
percent (1%).
•Overall, the City’s insurance coverages remain the same with the exception of an
increase in earthquake insurance coverage from $25,000,000 to $40,000,000.
The increase to the cost of insurance is primarily due to the following ongoing reasons:
1. An insurance market with continually decreasing excess carriers willing to quote
municipal government entities in California, especially those with Police departments;
2. High dollar jury awards of litigated matters against public entities;
3. High dollar settlements of litigated and non-litigated matters;
4. Rising cost of repairs and replacement of damaged vehicles, property, and equipment;
5. Increased number of claims filed against the City resulting from aging infrastructure
including sidewalks and streets; and
6. Increased number of claims filed against the City resulting from damage caused by
City owned trees.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
The recommended action includes appropriating $1.3 million from the General Liability
Fund balance. The table below compares the most recent actuarial valuations of claims
liabilities and the City’s target reserve policy with the estimated spendable fund balances
for both the Workers’ Compensation and General Liability Funds. Current actuarial

estimates indicate that liabilities exceed available fund balances. However, the City’s
target reserve levels—set at 80% of actuarially determined liabilities, as determined
biennially—are $35.8 million for Workers’ Compensation and $14.9 million for General
Liability. To address this target reserve shortfall, staff has gradually increased overhead
charges during the annual budget process, with the goal of restoring fund balances to
target levels over time.

Proposal Disclosures
The following disclosures are hereby made a part of this proposal. Please review these disclosures prior to signing the Client Authorization to
Bind or e-mail confirmation.
Proposal Disclaimer
IMPORTANT: The proposal and/or any executive summaries outline certain terms and conditions of the insurance proposed by the insurers,
based on the information provided by your company. The insurance policies themselves must be read to fully understand the terms, coverages,
exclusions, limitations and/or conditions of the actual policy contract of insurance. Policy forms will be made available upon request. We make
no warranties with respect to policy limits or coverage considerations of the carrier.
Compensation Disclosure
1. Gallagher Companies are primarily compensated from the usual and customary commissions, fees or, where permitted, a combination of
both, for brokerage and servicing of insurance policies, annuity contracts, guarantee contracts and surety bonds (collectively “insurance
coverages”) handled for a client’s account, which may vary based on market conditions and the insurance product placed for the client.
2. In placing, renewing, consulting on or servicing your insurance coverages, Gallagher companies may participate in contingent and
supplemental commission arrangements with intermediaries and insurance companies that provide for additional compensation if certain
underwriting, profitability, volume or retention goals are achieved. Such goals are typically based on the total amount of certain insurance
coverages placed by Gallagher with the insurance company, not on an individual policy basis. As a result, Gallagher may be considered to have
an incentive to place your insurance coverages with a particular insurance company. If you do not wish to have your commercial insurance
placement included in consideration for additional compensation, contact your producer or service team for an Opt-out form.
3. Gallagher Companies may receive investment income on fiduciary funds temporarily held by them, or from obtaining or generating premium
finance quotes, unless prohibited by law.
4. Gallagher Companies may also access or have an ownership interest in other facilities, including wholesalers, reinsurance intermediaries,
captive managers, underwriting managers and others that act as intermediaries for both Gallagher and other brokers in the insurance
marketplace some of which may earn and retain customary brokerage commission and fees for their work.
If you have specific questions about any compensation received by Gallagher and its affiliates in relation to your insurance placements, please
contact your Gallagher representative for more details.
TRIA/TRIPRA Disclaimer
If this proposal contains options to purchase TRIA/TRIPRA coverage, the proposed TRIA/TRIPRA program may not cover all terrorism losses.
While the amendments to TRIA eliminated the distinction between foreign and domestic acts of terrorism, a number of lines of coverage
excluded under the amendments passed in 2005 remain excluded including commercial automobile, burglary and theft insurance; surety
insurance, farm owners multiple perils and professional liability (although directors and officers liability is specifically included). If such excluded
coverages are required, we recommend that you consider purchasing a separate terrorism policy. Please note that a separate terrorism policy
for these excluded coverages may be necessary to satisfy loan covenants or other contractual obligations. TRIPRA includes a $100 billion cap
on insurers' aggregate liability.
TRIPRA is set to expire on December 31, 2027. There is no certainty of extension, thus the coverage provided by your insurers may or may not
extend beyond December 31, 2027. In the event you have loan covenants or other contractual obligations requiring that TRIA/TRIPRA be
maintained throughout the duration of your policy period, we recommend that a separate ""Stand Alone"" terrorism policy be purchased to satisfy
those obligations.

Property Estimator Disclaimer
These property values were obtained using a desktop Property Estimator software operated by non-appraisal professionals. These property
values represent general estimates which are not to be considered a certified appraisal. These property values include generalities and
assumptions that may produce inaccurate values for specific structures.
Terms and Conditions
It is important that we clearly outline the nature of our mutual relationship. The following terms and conditions (these “Terms”) govern your
relationship with Gallagher unless you have separately entered into a written services agreement with Gallagher relative to the policies and
services outlined in this Proposal, in which case that services agreement will govern and control with respect to any conflicts with these Terms.
These Terms will become effective upon your execution of the Client Authorization to Bind Coverage (the “CAB”) included in this Proposal and
shall survive for the duration of your relationship with Gallagher relative to the policies placed pursuant to the CAB or otherwise at your request.
Services
Gallagher will represent and assist you in all discussions and transactions with insurance companies relating to the lines of insurance coverage
set forth in the CAB and any other lines of insurance coverage with which you request Gallagher’s assistance. Gallagher will consult with you
regarding any matters involving these or other coverages for which you have engaged Gallagher. You have the sole discretion for approving any
insurance policies placed, as well as all other material decisions involving your risk management, risk transfer and/or loss prevention needs.
Although you are responsible for notifying applicable insurance companies directly in connection with any claims, demands, suits, notices of
potential claims or any other matters as required by the terms and conditions of your policies, Gallagher will assist you in determining applicable
claim reporting requirements.
Treatment of Information
Gallagher understands the need to protect the confidentiality and security of your confidential and sensitive information and strives to comply
with applicable data privacy and security laws. Your confidential and sensitive information will be protected by Gallagher and only used to
perform services for you; provided that Gallagher may disclose and transfer your information to our affiliates, agents or vendors that have a need
to know such information in connection with the provision of such services (including insurance markets, as necessary, for marketing, quoting,
placing and/or servicing insurance coverages). We may also disclose such information as required by applicable data protection laws or the
order of any court or tribunal, subject to our providing you with prior notice as permitted by law.
We will (i) implement appropriate administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect personal information; (ii) timely report security
incidents involving personal information to affected parties and/or regulatory bodies; (iii) create and maintain required policies and procedures;
and (iv) comply with data subjects’ rights, as applicable. To the extent applicable under associated data protection laws, you are a “business” or
“controller” and Gallagher is a “service provider” or “data processor.” You will ensure that any information provided to Gallagher has been
provided with any required notices and that you have obtained all required consents, if any and where required, or are otherwise authorized to
transfer all information to Gallagher and enable Gallagher to process the information for the purposes described in this Proposal and as set forth
in Gallaher’s Privacy Policy located at https://www.ajg.com/privacy-policy/. Gallagher may update its Privacy Policy from time to time and any
updates will be posted to such site.
Dispute Resolution
Gallagher does not expect that it will ever have a formal dispute with any of its clients. However, in the event that one should arise, we should
each strive to achieve a fair, expedient and efficient resolution and we’d like to clearly outline the resolution process.
A. If the parties have a dispute regarding Gallagher’s services or the relationship governed by this Proposal (“Dispute”), each party agrees to
resolve that Dispute by mediation. If mediation fails to resolve the Dispute, you and Gallagher agree to binding arbitration. Each party waives all
rights to commence litigation in court to resolve a Dispute, and specifically waives all rights to pursue relief by class action or mass action in
court or through arbitration. However, the parties do not waive the ability to seek a court order of injunction in aid of the mediation and
arbitration required by these Terms.
B. The party asserting a Dispute must provide a written notice (“Notice”) of the claim to the other party and to the American Arbitration
Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures. All Dispute resolutions will take place in
Chicago, IL, unless you and Gallagher agree to another location. The parties will equally divide all costs of the mediation and arbitration
proceedings and will each pay their own attorneys’ fees. All matters will be before a neutral, impartial and disinterested mediator or arbitrator(s)
that have at least 20 years’ experience in commercial and insurance coverage disputes.
C. Mediation will occur within sixty (60) days of filing the Notice with the AAA. Mediation results will be reduced to a memorandum of
understanding signed by you, Gallagher and the mediator. A Dispute that is not resolved in mediation will commence to binding arbitration. For
Disputes in excess of $500,000, either party may elect to have the Dispute heard by a panel of three (3) arbitrators. The award of the
arbitrator(s) must be accompanied by a reasoned opinion prepared and signed by the arbitrator(s). Except as may be required by law, neither
40
City Council 15 – 44 8/5/2025
City of Santa Ana
you, Gallagher, nor a mediator or arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any Dispute or its dispute resolution proceeding
without the prior written consent of both you and Gallagher.
Electronic Delivery
In lieu of receiving documents in paper format, you agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to accept electronic delivery of any documents
that Gallagher may be required to deliver to you (including, but not limited to, insurance policies and endorsements, account statements and all
other agreements, forms and communications) in connection with services provided by Gallagher. Electronic delivery of a document to you may
be made via electronic mail or by other electronic means, including posting documents to a secure website.
Miscellaneous Terms
Gallagher is engaged to perform services as an independent contractor and not as your employee or agent, and Gallagher will not be operating
in a fiduciary capacity.
Where applicable, insurance coverage placements and other services may require the payment of federal excise taxes, surplus lines taxes,
stamping or other fees to the Internal Revenue Service, various State(s) departments of revenue, state regulators, boards or associations. In
such cases, you will be responsible for the payment of the taxes and/or fees, which Gallagher will separately identify on related invoices.
The Proposal and these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict of law rules.
If an arbitrator/court of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of these Terms is void or unenforceable, that provision will be
severed, and the arbitrator/court will replace it with a valid and enforceable provision that most closely approximates the original intent, and the
remainder of these Terms will remain in effect.
Except to the extent in conflict with a services agreement that you may enter into with Gallagher, these Terms and the remainder of the Proposal
constitute the entire agreement between you and Gallagher with respect to the subject matter of the Proposal, and supersede all prior
negotiations, agreements and understandings as to such matters.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
1. The insurance policy that you are applying to purchase is being issued
by an insurer that is not licensed by the State of California. These companies
are called “nonadmitted” or “surplus line” insurers.
2. The insurer is not subject to the financial solvency regulation and
enforcement that apply to California licensed insurers.
3. The insurer does not participate in any of the insurance guarantee
funds created by California law. Therefore, these funds will not pay your
claims or protect your assets if the insurer becomes insolvent and is unable
to make payments as promised.
4. The insurer should be licensed either as a foreign insurer in another
state in the United States or as a non-United States (alien) insurer. You
should ask questions of your insurance agent, broker, or “surplus line”
broker or contact the California Department of Insurance at the toll-free
number 1-800-927-4357 or internet website www.insurance.ca.gov. Ask
whether or not the insurer is licensed as a foreign or non-United States
(alien) insurer and for additional information about the insurer. You may
also visit the NAIC’s internet website at www.naic.org. The NAIC—the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners—is the regulatory
support organization created and governed by the chief insurance
regulators in the United States.
5. Foreign insurers should be licensed by a state in the United States and
you may contact that state’s department of insurance to obtain more
information about that insurer. You can find a link to each state from this
NAIC internet website: https://naic.org/state_web_map.htm.
City Council 15 – 47 8/5/2025
6. For non-United States (alien) insurers, the insurer should be licensed
by a country outside of the United States and should be on the NAIC’s
International Insurers Department (IID) listing of approved nonadmitted
non-United States insurers. Ask your agent, broker, or “surplus line”
broker to obtain more information about that insurer.
7. California maintains a “List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers
(LASLI).” Ask your agent or broker if the insurer is on that list, or view that
list at the internet website of the California Department of Insurance:
www.insurance.ca.gov/01-consumers/120-company/07lasli/lasli.cfm.
8. If you, as the applicant, required that the insurance policy you have
purchased be effective immediately, either because existing coverage was
going to lapse within two business days or because you were required to
have coverage within two business days, and you did not receive this
disclosure form and a request for your signature until after coverage
became effective, you have the right to cancel this policy within five days of
receiving this disclosure. If you cancel coverage, the premium will be
prorated and any broker’s fee charged for this insurance will be returned
to you.

You are hereby notified that under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended ("TRIA"), that you now have a right to
purchase insurance coverage for losses arising out of acts of terrorism, as defined in Section 102(1) of the Act, as amended: The term
“act of terrorism” means any act that is certified by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland
Security and the Attorney General of the United States, to be an act of terrorism; to be a violent act or an act that is dangerous to
human life, property, or infrastructure; to have resulted in damage within the United States, or outside the United States in the case of
an air carrier or vessel or the premises of a United States mission; and to have been committed by an individual or individuals, as part
of an effort to coerce the civilian population of the United States or to influence the policy or affect the conduct of the United States
Government by coercion. Any coverage you purchase for "acts of terrorism" shall expire at 12:00 midnight December 31, 2027, the date
on which the TRIA Program is scheduled to terminate, or the expiry date of the policy whichever occurs first, and shall not cover any
losses or events which arise after the earlier of these dates.
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT COVERAGE PROVIDED BY THIS POLICY FOR LOSSES CAUSED BY CERTIFIED ACTS OF TERRORISM IS PARTIALLY
REIMBURSED BY THE UNITED STATES UNDER A FORMULA ESTABLISHED BY FEDERAL LAW. HOWEVER, YOUR POLICY MAY CONTAIN OTHER

BILLION CAP THAT LIMITS U.S. GOVERNMENT REIMBURSEMENT AS WELL AS INSURERS' LIABILITY FOR LOSSES RESULTING FROM CERTIFIED
ACTS OF TERRORISM WHEN THE AMOUNT OF SUCH LOSSES IN ANY ONE CALENDAR YEAR EXCEEDS USD100 BILLION. IF THE AGGREGATE
INSURED LOSSES FOR ALL INSURERS EXCEED USD100 BILLION, YOUR COVERAGE MAY BE REDUCED.
THE PREMIUM CHARGED FOR THIS COVERAGE IS PROVIDED BELOW AND DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY CHARGES FOR THE PORTION OF LOSS
COVERED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT UNDER THE ACT.
I hereby elect to purchase coverage for acts of terrorism for a prospective premium of
USD $84,774.50

understand that I will have no coverage for losses arising from acts of terrorism.

Claims Reporting By Policy
Immediately report all claims. Each insurer requires notice of certain types of claims depending on the potential exposure or
particular injury types. It is important to thoroughly review your policy to ensure you are reporting particular incidents and
claims, based upon the insurer's policy requirements.
If you are using a third party administrator ("TPA"), your TPA may or may not report claims to an insurer on your behalf.
Although we will assist you where requested, it is important that you understand whether your TPA will be completing this
notification.

DISCUSSION
On July 6, 1998, the City Council approved the purchase of the High Line Corporation’s
“Personality” payroll and human resources software to be used to comply with Y2K
requirements. Since 1999, the City has utilized this system (which was upgraded in
2011 to a newer version called “ePersonality”) to process payroll and manage personnel

information. The system features also included time and attendance tracking, benefits
administration, salary and position management, training and development, and labor
relations administration.
On March 3, 2008, the City Council approved the purchase of the Lawson financial
system to replace a legacy mainframe system that was more than 20 years old at the
time. This new system has been used since 2009 by all departments to process, track,
and report on the City’s financial information and transactions. Key functions of this
system include general ledger, grant management, projects and activities, accounts
payable, cash management, billing, accounts receivable, asset management,
requisitions, purchase orders, inventory, business intelligence, and reporting.
Together, the High Line and Lawson systems have been meeting the City’s ERP needs
for 25 years and 16 years, respectively. During that time, High Line Corporation was
acquired by NeoGov and Lawson was acquired by Infor. The new owners of these two
software systems have continued to support and enhance the systems over the years;
and as updates were made available, City staff applied these updates to keep the
applications running on supported versions. Although the vendors continue to provide
system support and ongoing minor updates, both vendors have declared their systems
to be end-of-life and they do not plan to release any new major version upgrades.
Instead, they have encouraged customers to migrate to their new cloud-based,
subscription versions.
On December 6, 2022, the City Council approved an agreement with SDI Presence,
LLP (SDI) to assist the City in the evaluation, selection, and negotiation of a new ERP
solution. Because of the importance of this solution to meet the City’s current and future
operational requirements, it was prudent to choose a firm with extensive experience in
helping public sector organizations select the appropriate ERP system.
With the assistance of SDI, the City conducted an extremely thorough selection process
that lasted more than two years. This process included a comprehensive needs
assessment conducted by SDI, development and issuance of Requests for
Qualifications (RFQ) for software vendors and implementation partners, consultation
with staff at other agencies using prospective systems, development of a Request for
Proposal (RFP), vendor demonstrations, proof-of-capability presentations, additional
requests for clarifications, and, finally, contract negotiations.
On December 13, 2023, the City issued RFP No. 23-132 for Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) system, including Implementation Services on the City’s online bid
management system to vendors who had been qualified based on the issued RFQs. A
summary of vendor participation and results is as follows:

5 Proposals received
Proposals were opened on February 14, 2024 and evaluated. The five proposals
submitted by the RFP deadline were all determined to be responsive to the
specifications and met the City’s requirements. A selection team consisting of staff from
the IT Department (IT), the Finance and Management Services Agency (FM), and the
Human Resources Department (HR) evaluated the proposals, participated in half-day
demonstrations, and subsequently short-listed the top two candidates to continue in the
process. The top two candidates then participated in scripted, week-long, proof-of-
capability demonstrations and responded to a Request for Clarifications, which included
requests for their best pricing as well as other desired contracting terms and conditions.
After careful consideration, the Graviton Consulting Services Inc. proposal to implement
the Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP application was the top ranked proposal by the selection
team. All five proposing firms’ rankings according to the criteria listed in the RFP are as
follows:

Cognizant Solutions (Collaborative
Solutions)/Workday

RPI Consultants/Infor Cloud Suite Baltimore, MD 5
The selected Oracle Fusion Cloud application is a true best of breed, cloud-based,
Software as a Service (SaaS) product that will help the City to support business
transformation, reduce risk from legacy systems, reduce manual processes, provide
robust reporting capabilities, and meet the changing future demands of the City. Having
a common foundation across applications provides the standardization that will allow
the City to grow over time and see savings quicker by reducing redundant systems and
streamlining processes. Oracle’s Cloud solution provides shared technology, a common
modern user interface, a secure unified data model, and universal easy-to-use reporting
and analysis. The City expects to replace multiple stand-alone systems with this single
solution.
The City will be purchasing the Oracle Fusion Cloud subscriptions through Graviton as
a reseller in order to align license purchases with the system implementation plan and
to accommodate the City’s requested terms and conditions (see Exhibits 2, 3, and 4).

The City is committing to a minimum three-year agreement with no annual subscription
increases. After the third year, the agreement includes seven, optional, one-year
renewal periods, that include a subscription uplift that is capped at three-percent (3%).
This locks in 10 years of pricing with the ability to cancel in any year after year three.
Since subscription pricing is based on both modules utilized and the number of City staff
in a given year, the not-to-exceed amount of $5,026,843 has been calculated to allow
for fluctuations.
During the selection process, the Teller Cashiering system was also selected; however,
during planning, the team determined implementing that system was not feasible at this
time. The team will re-evaluate replacing the existing cashiering system after the
implementation of the ERP begins and may bring the item back to the City Council at a
later time for approval of the additional cost.
The Oracle Fusion Cloud system will be implemented in two overlapping phases. Phase
1 will be the Human Capital Management (HCM), Learning Management, and Payroll
modules. This phase will last 16 months, with a targeted go-live of January 1, 2027.
Phase 2 will be the ERP Financial Management modules. This phase will last 18
months, with a targeted go-live of July 1, 2027. The one-time implementation services
cost is a not-to-exceed amount of $4,798,915 (see Exhibit 1).
The selected platform allows for modular expansion, enabling the City to add new
features or functional areas such as procurement enhancements, budgeting tools, or
workforce planning as future needs arise. This flexibility ensures the system can evolve
alongside the City’s operational and strategic goals, supporting long-term efficiency and
performance. Modules are licensed by either the number of total city employees or by
the number of specific named users, which may be adjusted on an annual basis.
To support ongoing adaptability and periodic staffing updates, it is recommended to
authorize the City Manager, or their designee, to execute future ordering documents as
necessary, provided that the total costs do not exceed the approved aggregate amount.
This authorization allows the City to respond promptly to emerging needs to procure
additional modules or services without delay, while maintaining strict fiscal control. Such
flexibility is critical to maximizing the investment in the Oracle ERP system and ensuring
it continues to meet the City’s evolving requirements.

information is reasonably understood to be confidential and/or proprietary, Consultant agrees that
it shall not use or disclose such information except in the performance of this Agreement, and
further agrees to exercise the same degree of care it uses to protect its own information of like
importance, but in no event less than reasonable care. “Confidential Information” shall include all
nonpublic information. Confidential information includes not only written information, but also
information transferred orally, visually, electronically, or by other means. Confidential

full written disclosure of such facts to the City. Full written disclosure must include,
but is not limited to, identification of all persons implicated and a complete description
of all relevant circumstances. Failure to comply with the provisions of this paragraph
will be a material breach of this Agreement.
e. Consultant covenants that none of its directors, officers, employees, or agents shall
participate in selecting or administrating any subcontract supported (in whole or in part)

Agreement. Consultant affirms that it is an equal opportunity employer and shall comply with all
applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations.
13. EXCLUSIVITY AND AMENDMENT
This Agreement represents the complete and exclusive statement between the City and
Consultant, and supersedes any and all other agreements, oral or written, between the parties. In
the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any attachments hereto, the terms
of this Agreement shall prevail. This Agreement may not be modified except by written instrument
signed by the City and by an authorized representative of Consultant. The parties agree that any
terms or conditions of any purchase order or other instrument that are inconsistent with, or in
addition to, the terms and conditions hereof, shall not bind or obligate Consultant or the City. Each
party to this Agreement acknowledges that no representations, inducements, promises or
agreements, orally or otherwise, have been made by any party, or anyone acting on behalf of any
party, which is not embodied herein.
14. ASSIGNMENT
Inasmuch as this Agreement is intended to secure the specialized services of Consultant,
City Council 16 – 13 8/5/2025
Page 8 of 10

3 Oracle Cloud Implementation Scope
The Graviton project team will collaborate with the City of Santa Ana (City) project team members to
implement the Oracle Cloud applications to meet the City requirements documented in RFP No. 23-
132 for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System, Including Implementation Services. The Oracle
Cloud applications will be implemented by the Graviton project team in a manner consistent with the
Graviton proposal response, proof of concept demonstrations, and request for clarification response.
Appendix A of this Statement of Work (SOW) includes the Graviton/Oracle response to the City
requirements to RFP No. 23-132 Appendix A – Requirements. Implementation of the Oracle Cloud
solution will result in a significant transformation of City business processes. Through this
transformation, the City’s objectives include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Provide a single, comprehensive and integrated solution to manage the City’s financial and
human resource furnctions:
• Reduce or eliminate the need for redundant data entry;
• Reduce or eliminate the need for manual input when preparing the annual budget and
financial statements;
• Provide an up-to-date, user friendly and intuitive user interface to promote system use and
productivity;
• Streamline business processes to take advantage of best practices through automation,
integration, and workflows;
• Provide interface capabilities with third-party sytems used for permitting, water billing,
business license, the zoo, recreation, dog license, and others;
• Improve and provide necessary reports and access to data through inquiry or drill down
capabilities; and
• Provide a vendor self-service portal and an employee self-service portal.
To ensure a successful project, the Graviton team will develop a detailed project scope including
specific application features, configurations, extensions, integrations, conversions, and
recommendations for changes in city business processes. The detail scope will be finalized as part of
the Project Scope deliverable to be developed, reviewed, and approved at the conclusion of the build
stage of the implementation. Following the City’s review and approval of the Project Scope
deliverable, the project team will implement change control processes to manage implementation
scope for the remainder of the project. Those change control processes will be documented in the
Project Management Plan deliverable to be completed during the plan stage of implementation. The
initial scope of Oracle Cloud Applications to be implemented, data to be converted, and interfaces to
be developed, based upon the City RFP and Statement of Work discussions is listed in the sections
below.
3.1 Oracle Cloud Applications
The graphic below depicts two implementation phases – Phase 1 HCM and Phase 2 ERP. The Graviton
project team will lead the City through these implementation phases. For both Phase 1 HCM and
City Council 16 – 23 8/5/2025
Exhibit A Scope of Work – Graviton Consultant Agreement
7
Phase 2 ERP, Graviton will follow the five stage Gravtion implementation methodology defined by this
Statement of Work. Graviton will direct the project team in the completion of all deliverables and
milestone for each of the five implementation stages - Plan, Design, Build, Test, and Deploy. Following
each project phase go-live, Graviton will provide production support services to the City.
Graphic: Multi-Phase Implementation
The table below identifies the City requirements, that will be implemented in each project phase, and
the corresponding Oracle Cloud applications that will be configured and deployed to meet those
requirements. The completed Appendix A - Requirements from Graviton’s proposal represents the
scope of City requirements to be implement by Graviton, with the following two exceptions: 1) the
City will continue to use NeoGov for recruiting, and 2) the City will continue to use Questica for budget
development. Graviton will develop the required integrations with NeoGov and Questica rather than
implement Oracle Cloud to meet those recruiting and budget development requirements.

*The City has elected to not implement Oracle EPM for Planning and Budgeting. Where
Graviton had previously indicated in its proposal response that Oracle Cloud would be
implemented to meet a City Budgeting requirement (RFP No. 23-132 Appendix A –
Requirements), the plan is for Graviton to develop the necessary integrations for the City to use
Questica for Planning and Budgeting and to integrate with Oracle ERP to seed the budget
ledger in GL and enforce budgetary control (control budgets).
**As of the drafting of this SOW, Oracle Analytics are optional until the City makes a final
determination on its reporting, analytics, and historical data conversion strategy.
In addition to the Oracle Cloud applications listed above, the following Oracle services are included in
the City’s agreement:
• B84490 Oracle Additional Test Environment for Oracle Fusion Cloud Service (2)
• B86668, B86669 Oracle Cloud Priority Support for SaaS
• B88206 Oracle PaaS and IaaS Universal Credits
The Graviton and City roles in the configuration of these Oracle Cloud applications are detailed in
Section 4 Implementation Approach.
3.2 Data Conversion Scope
Graviton will complete the required data conversion development to meet the City’s requirements
listed Appendix A - ERP Requirements of the Graviton proposal. The project team will determine a
final scope of data conversions at the conclusion of the build stage of the implementation, and that
final scope will be documented in the Project Scope deliverable. At this time the anticipated scope of
data conversion will include the following data conversion requirements by project phase.

Conversion includes images/document files attached to the above data sets.
Table: Phase 2 ERP Scope of Data Conversion
Conversion includes images/document files attached to the above data sets.
The number of years of data history to be converted into the Oracle Cloud Applications for the above
requirements will be dependent on the availability and accessibility of data in the City’s legacy
systems. The Graviton team will provide the City with Oracle pre-defined conversion templates, and
will collaborate with the City in the mapping of the City’s legacy data to those Oracle pre-defined
templates. Graviton will take the lead, with assistance from The City, in extracting the legacy data

based upon those templates. In the event there are limitations to the amount of historical data that
may be converted into the Oracle SaaS solution, due to the availability or accessibility of that data, the
Project team will convert the historical data using the approach defined by Section 4.3.1.6.1 Historical
Data Conversion.
The Graviton and City roles in the conversion of data is detailed in Section 4 Implementation
Approach.
3.3 Interface Scope
Graviton will complete the required interface development to meet the City’s requirements listed in
the RFP No. 23-132 Appendix A – Requirementsof the Graviton proposal. The project team will
determine a final scope of interfaces by the conclusion of the build stage of the implementation, and
the final scope will be documented in the Project Scope deliverable. At this time the anticipated scope
of interfaces will include the following interface requirements by project phase.

*The City team will examine the Oracle Contracts module as part of Phase 2 ERP. If the City
procedes with the implementation of the Contracts module, then the Agreements interface
may not longer be required. During the Phase 2 ERP Design Stage, the project team will make
a final determination and then update the interface scope accordingly in the Project Scope
deliverable.
**There are several sub systems at the City that track revenue and payments. It is not yet
determined if the these sub systems will integrate with Teller only or they will integrated with
Oracle General Ledger as well as Teller. During the Phase 2 ERP Design Stage, the project team
will make a final determination and then update the interface scope accordingly in the Project
Scope deliverable.
During the Build stage of implementation, the project team will determine the appropriate Oracle
tools for developing each interface. The City has licensed Oracle Integration Cloud for complex
integrations. However, there are native tools and pre-built integrations available to the project team
that may be utilized for less complex interfaces.
The Graviton and City roles in the development of these interfaces is detailed in Section 4
Implementation Approach.
3.3.1 Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC)
The Oracle Cloud SaaS products include several integration tools that will handle many of the City’s
required interfaces. However, the project team anticipates the more complex integrations will benefit
from using the more robust Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) solution. OIC is part of the Oracle Platform
as a Service (PaaS) suite of products. The project team will provision OIC and other PaaS products by
utilizing Oracle Universal Credits, which the project team has included in the Oracle PaaS Ordering
Document. The City will contract for 26,000 universal credits on an annual basis. These universal

credits appear as SKU-B88206 – Oracle PaaS and IaaS Universal Credits in the Cloud Services Ordering
Document.
Using the City’s universal credits, the Graviton project team will provision the PaaS products needed
to complete the development and deployment of the City’s integration solutions. For the City, we
anticipate provisioning 2 units of OIC (production and non-production) as well as 2 Oracle CPUs of
Oracle Database Cloud Service to build our solutions. Currently, we plan on provisioning the
following:
• SKU-B89639 – Oracle Integration Cloud Service – Standard Edition – 2 units (5k messages per
hour) – approximately 12,439 units annually. The SKU-B89639 is found under the category of
Enterprise Integration Cloud Services in the Cloud Services Ordering Document.
• SKU-B88293 – Oracle Database Cloud Service – Standard Edition – General Purpose – 2 OCPUs
- approximately 4,204 units Annually. The SKU-B88293 is found under the category of Data
Management Cloud Services in the Cloud Services Ordering Document
• SKU-B91445 – Oracle Cloud Infrastructure – Block Volume (Gigabyte Storage Capacity per
Month) – 0 units Annually. The SKU-B91445 is found under the category of Storage Cloud
Services in the Cloud Services Ordering Document.
These SKUs will require approximately 16,643 (64%) of the annual universal credits in the Cloud
Services Ordering Document. The City may elect to use the remaining universal credits to provision
more units, provision other PaaS and IaaS products, or do nothing at all and not get charged for the
unused universal credits.
3.4 Reporting Scope
Graviton will design, develop, and test default dashboards for all City user roles for 150 essential City
custom report requirements. During implementation the project team will determine which of the
150 custom report requirements will be completed during Phase 1 HCM and which requirements will
be completed during Phase 2 ERP.
The 150 report requirements will be implemented using the reporting tools available in the Oracle
SaaS applications. If the City moves forward with the Optional Oracle Fusion Analytics
Implementation Services described in section 7.1, Graviton will include the additonal reporting tools
availabe in Oracle Fusion Data Analytics to complete the 150 custom report requirements.
In designing City reporting, Graviton assumes the City will support efforts to transition from traditional
paper reports to dashboards and analytics where practical. Graviton also assumes the City will support
efforts to consolidate custom report requirements into fewer reports, where practical, to reduce the
City’s burden of managing too many custom reports.
3.5 Business Process Maps and Use Cases
To determine the optimal design and implementation scope for the City, Graviton team members will
lead the City project team members to define the City’s future state business processes through
iterative cycles of business process map and use case development. This includes presenting best
practices, options for configurations, and the impact of each. For the City’s major business processes
City Council 16 – 30 8/5/2025
Exhibit A Scope of Work – Graviton Consultant Agreement
14
and use cases for each of the City’s business processes to be implemented. Business process maps will
will be developed and maintained by Graviton, and will provide the City with a graphical depiction of
its integrated business processes. Likewise, use cases will be developed and maintained by Graviton,
and will serve as written descriptions of how users will perform the organization’s business processes
in the Oracle Cloud applications, with granular step-by-step instructions for performing those business
processes.
The Graviton team will first review the City’s existing business requirements includes in RFP No. 23-
132 for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System, Including Implementation Services as well as
business process flows created by SDI Presence during the RFP development. Those requirements will
be input into the Graviton business process deliverables. Where Graviton created business process
maps are inconsistent with City requirements, Graviton will provide recommendations and the City
will make decisions on a path forward.
Business process maps and use cases will be introduced by Graviton during the Plan stage and will be
continuously updated and added to by Graviton over the course of implementation. Use cases will
become the basis for test scenarios. Business process maps and use cases will also be the foundation
upon which job aids and training content are developed to support knowledge transfer and end user
training.
Through the completion of the Business Process track implementation activities, the Graviton project
team will be continuously refining the business processes via updates to existing business process
maps and use cases. The project team will also create new business process maps and use cases to
reflect business processes that may be unique to the City. Business Process Maps and Use Cases will
be developed by Graviton with input from the City project team. The graphic below depicts the life
cycle of business process maps and use cases during implementation.

In the Plan stage of implementation an initial inventory of business process maps and use cases will be
established using out of the box Oracle Cloud application business processes. In the design stage, the
Graviton team will conduct Business Process Familiarization demonstrations of the Oracle Cloud
applications to expose City project team members to the capabilities of the Oracle Cloud applications.
In the design stage, Graviton will conduct Conference Room Pilot 1 work sessions, demonstrating
Oracle Cloud applications capabilities with City specific data and configuration.
In the Build stage the project team will conduct the Conference Room Pilot 2 and Conference Room
Pilot 3 work sessions, incorporating design decisions made through the iterative implementation
process and the configurations, reports, integrations, and conversions (CEMLIs) being completed by
the CEMLI team of project team resources. CEMLI stands for configuration, extension, modification,
localization, and integration. Graviton has also added the category Data Conversion.
The iterative process of conducting three Conference Room Pilots solidifies the design and build of the
Oracle Cloud applications. The project team will then move into the test stage where the City’s
business processes, reflected in the comprehensive inventory of use cases, become the basis for test
scenarios to be executed as acceptance criteria for both the system test and user acceptance test
formal test cycles. Upon completion of the test stage, the project team will move into the deploy
stage of the project knowing the organization’s business processes have been thoroughly analyzed,
designed, built, and tested through this comprehensive implementation process.
3.5.1 Business Process Maps
Business process maps provide a graphical depiction of the integrated business
processes. Business process maps will be introduced during the Plan stage and
will be continuously updated and added to over the course of implementation.
Business process maps will be incorporated by Graviton into job aids and training content to highlight
the business process changes to be implemented at the City. Business process maps also support

4 Oracle Cloud Implementation Approach
The implementation of Oracle Cloud for the City of Santa Ana, CA will be conducted over two
implementation phases – Phase 1 HCM and Phase 2 ERP. Within each phase, the tasks and activities
are organized into five implementation stages: Plan, Design, Build, Test, and Deploy. The Graviton
project team will lead the City project team through the completion of the tasks and deliverables
included in each stage of implementation, allowing the project team to deliver upon the scope of
implementation defined by this SOW.
Graphic: Oracle Cloud Implementation Stages
The structure of the Oracle Cloud implementation methodology is based largely on racle’s Unified
Method (OUM), with accommodations for improved decision making, focus on operational knowledge
transfer, development of business process centric end user training, and an alignment of project tasks
with change management best practices. Early and frequent exposure of City project team members
and stakeholders to the Oracle Cloud applications and its native best practice business processes
improves the speed and accuracy of decision making.

4.2 Business Process Track
The activities included in the business process track will define the City’s future state business processes,
providing the foundation upon which the CEMLI, change management, training, and project
management track implementation tasks are planned and executed. The business process track will
establish the scope of business processes to be implemented. Those business processes will be
configured, analyzed, and updated repeatedly through iterative formal review cycles. Multiple cycles of
testing will be conducted where validation of the business processes serves as the acceptance criteria
for the system. For Phase 2 ERP the business process track includes eight deliverables spanning the five
Graviton implementation stages as depicted in the graphic below. For Phase 1 HCM, Payroll Validation
Test serves as the ninth business process track deliverable.
Graphic: Business Process Track Deliverables
The success of implementation will be measured by how effective the City transitions to the best
practice business processes that are native to the Oracle Cloud applications. The steps required to
complete this transition are at the core of the business process track.
4.2.1 Conference Room Pilots
Included in the business process track are three Conference Room Pilots. The Conference Room Pilot
deliverables will be critically important in determining how the Oracle Cloud modules will be configured
to meet the City’s requirements and how the City’s future state business processes will be updated. For
each Conference Room Pilot the project team will conduct a series of work sessions to review City use
cases and business processes identified during the plan and design stages. The Conference Room Pilot
environment will be seeded with configuration and development assigned to the corresponding CEMLI
Cycles. City and Graviton project team members will exercise the Oracle Cloud modules by unit testing
the inventory of planned use cases and business processes. From the Cloud Business Process
Familiarization deliverable through completion of the third Conference Room Pilot, the project team will
continuously revise and test use cases, business processes, and CEMLIs. At the conclusion of each
Conference Room Pilot, use cases and business processes will be updated to reflect City feedback and
decisions. Subsequent Conference Room Pilots will be planned and the required CEMLI additions and
updates identified.

4.2.2.3 Payroll Validation Test
Payroll validation testing is the formal testing of the gross and gross-to-net payroll calculation for the
employee population. The purpose of the test is to run payrolls for multiple payroll periods, for a full
population of City personnel. The results are electronically validated against the legacy system payroll
output. Differences are reconciled and issues identified and resolved until only agreeable differences
remain. The test is repeated until the City agrees the Oracle Cloud HCM system is correctly calculating
the City’s payroll.

4.4 Change Management Track
The change management track includes the strategies, tasks, and deliverables to facilitate the
organizations transition from its legacy systems and existing business processes to the Oracle Cloud
applications and the future state business processes that will be implemented as a result. The change
management approach combines methods to communicate the importance of change, project
processes and tools to identify and document change, and programs to assist City departments to
understand and prepare for change. The change management track includes five deliverables spanning
the five Graviton implementation stages as depicted in the graphic below.
Graphic: Change Management Track Deliverables
The project’s change management approach includes three complementary work streams:
communications, department readiness and operations transition.
The purpose of the communications workstream is to ensure the City’s stakeholders, departments and
users have the information required for successful implementation of the Oracle Cloud application and
business processes. The communications work stream will identify and categorize the stakeholders for
project communication purposes and provide direction for the “who, what, when and where” details for
the communications messages.
The department readiness workstream includes tools and methods to review and assess the readiness
of individual departments for implementation. In the department readiness workstream the project
team will document the applications and business process changes and develop readiness work plans
for departments to track their progress in adapting to the changes.
The operations transition workstream is designed to guide the City in its transition from implementation
to an operational state, with specific and detailed recommendations for post implementation
operations and maintenance support. This is necessary for the City’s organization to effectively support
the new Oracle Cloud system at go-live and beyond.
4.4.1 Change Management Tools
The Change Management Track includes the following implementation tools to aid the project team
with the three change management work streams described above: communications, department
readiness, and operations transition.
City Council 16 – 74 8/5/2025
Exhibit A Scope of Work – Graviton Consultant Agreement
58
4.4.1.1 Change Log
From the start of the project, team members will capture changes and their anticipated impact on City
stakeholders in a change log. For all changes documented in the Change Log, the project team will
include recommended actions. The changes included in the change log will also serve as the foundation
upon which department readiness workplans will be developed and monitored. Graviton will leverage
Smartsheet for the change log. The specific use of Smartsheet for the purpose of recording and
managing changes will be determined by the City and Graviton project managers and will be
documented in the Project Management Plan and Change Management Plan deliverables.
4.4.1.2 Communications Authoring
Graviton will develop video communications using Adobe Captivate as the authoring
tool. The specific use of Adobe Captivate for developing communications will be
determined by the City and Graviton project team members and will be documented in
the Communications Plan deliverable. Adobe Captivate will be administered by
Graviton project team members though completion of the Project Closeout
deliverable.
4.4.1.3 Department Work Plans
Department readiness encourages City departments to become fully engaged with the Oracle Cloud
project, complete specific tasks and activities required for implementation, and assess departmental
readiness for go-live. Department work plans will be developed as part of the department readiness
activities. Department work plans identify, document, and provide specific engagement and completion
activities for the departments to address to be ready to use and adopt the new Oracle Cloud system and
related business processes. Graviton will use Smartsheet as the standard tool for establishing and
monitoring department work plans. The departments themselves will be responsible for recording the
status of their departmental tasks in the work plans.
4.4.1.4 Operations RASCI Chart
The purpose of the Operations Transition Plan will be to provide the City with detailed
recommendations for post implementation operations and maintenance support. A critical component
of the Operations Transition Plan is identifying City staff who will fill the operations and maintenance
roles. The Operations Transition Plan will include operational roles and responsibilities listed as a RASCI
(Responsible, Accountable, Supports, Consulted, Informed) chart. This RASCI chart will provide detailed
direction regarding “who does what” for supporting the racle Cloud applications after implementation.
The RASCI chart will be drafted during the build stage, maintained throughout implementation, and then
finalized with the City’s transition to operations and maintenance.

4.5 Training Track
The training track includes the deliverables and tasks to complete the training requirements to support
the organizations’ transition to the racle Cloud applications. he transition to cloud-based systems
requires a greater emphasis on end user training due to both the system and business process changes
that will be implemented. The project team will implement a blended learning end user training
program for the City. The training track includes three deliverables spanning the five implementation
stages as depicted in the graphic below.
Graphic: Training Track Deliverables
End user training activities are initiated during the build stage of the project. The timing is due to the
availability of a mature set of business process maps and use cases, where the business process track
has completed Conference Room Pilot 3. The inventory of use cases will be leveraged in the
development of the end user training plan, where the project team defines the users that need to be
trained, the business processes they are to be trained on, when training will be delivered, and how the
training will be conducted.
Following the development of the end user training plan, the focus will shift to the development of
training content. The approach to training content will be to take a subset of use cases in a designated
end user training course, and leveraging the step-by-step instructions within the use case, develop job
aids and training content.
The final step in the deployment of the training program is the delivery of end user training. For core
users, Graviton will deliver in person classroom training. For casual end users, Graviton will deliver
online learning, which will allow users to take online, self-paced, on demand training. On demand
training can be taken repeatedly by the end user before and after go-live.
4.5.1 End User Training Tools
Graviton will provide the following end user training tools to support the City and the project team in
the development of an effective end user training program.
4.5.1.1 End User Training PDF Job Aids: Microsoft Word
Graviton will develop end user training job aids in PDF. Job aids are step-by-step end user instructions
that include screen shots, navigation, and written steps for completing online transactions in the Oracle
Cloud system. Graviton uses Microsoft Word to expedite screen captures as Graviton project team
City Council 16 – 81 8/5/2025
Exhibit A Scope of Work – Graviton Consultant Agreement

members record transactions. Those screen captures become the job aids that are edited in Microsoft
Word and then ultimately published as PDF documents. The specific use of Microsoft Word for
developing job aids will be determined by the City and Graviton project team members and will be
documented in the End User Training Plan deliverable.
4.5.1.2 End User Training Video Content: Adobe Captivate
Graviton will develop end user training video content and job aids in SCORM 1.2
compliant format. Graviton leverages Adobe Captivate as our authoring tool. Adobe
Captivate will transition training content from basic PowerPoint format to interactive
videos with voice over and recorded webcam content. All Graviton developed end
user training content will be owned by the City. Graviton will ensure the City has
access to all training content throughout implementation and will transition all training content to the
City by the conclusion of the project.
The specific use of Adobe Captivate for developing training content and job aids will be determined by
the City and Graviton project team members and will be documented in the End User Training Plan
deliverable. Adobe Captivate will be administered by Graviton project team members though
completion of the Project Closeout deliverable.
4.5.1.3 Learning Management System (LMS): LearnUpon
The City will leverage Oracle Learning wherever possible to
complete the End User Training program. Until such time as
Oracle learning is implemented, Graviton will provide an
optional LearnUpon learning management system (LMS) for
the City’s implementation of racle Cloud. This LMS is optional. The LMS will allow for the improved
organization and administration of the blended Learning training program for the City, including course
development, blending instructor-led and eLearning courses, managing LMS users, and providing
reports to the project team on training progress. The specific use of the LMS will be determined by the
City and Graviton project team members and will be documented in the End User Training Plan
deliverable. LearnUpon will be administered by Graviton project team members through completion of
the Project Closeout deliverable. Graviton would provide LearnUpon for the City’s use during the
project and for one year following the project go-live. The Project Closeout deliverable would establish
a plan for transitioning administration of LearnUpon from Graviton project team members to City
project team members.

8 Oracle Cloud Implementation Acceptance
The City will have an opportunity to review and either (a) accept or (b) reject the Services and
Deliverables as set forth in this S W (“ cceptance Process”). If City rejects, the City will provide Graviton
with a written description of the rejection. Graviton and the City will review the rejection and agree on a
resolution to the rejection. As part of such Acceptance Process, Graviton and City will (a) act reasonably,
taking into account the specifications of the Services and (b) not withhold acceptance of Services for
minor or insubstantial variations, as agreed to by both parties, to meet specifications unless such
variations materially and adversely impact City’s use of the Services. City’s use of the Services shall not
be deemed an Acceptance. City will not owe Graviton any compensation for the correction of Services
as part of the Acceptance Process.
8.1 Deliverable or Service Acceptance
Acceptance by the City is required for all Deliverables identified in this SOW. Graviton shall deliver
completed Deliverables for review and approval. Deliverables shall be accepted or rejected within five
(5) business days from the time of submittal for acceptance unless mutually agreed to another timeline.
The Deliverable Acceptance Process is described below.
1) Submission of Deliverables - The Graviton Project Manager, or designee, will prepare a
Deliverable Acceptance email and forward with the respective Deliverable to the City Project
Manager, or designee, for consideration.
2) Assessment of Deliverables - The City representative(s) will determine whether the Deliverable
meets the requirements as defined in this SOW, that the Deliverable is complete, and that the
Deliverable is free from errors.
3) Acceptance / Rejection - After reviewing, the City will either accept the Deliverable (by providing
an email reply stating the City approves the deliverable) or will provide a written reason for
rejecting it to the Graviton team. If feedback from multiple City representatives is received, then
the City Project Manager, or City designee, will consolidate that feedback before delivering it to
the Graviton team.
4) Correction of Service Deliverables – Graviton will correct in-scope problems found with the
service deliverable and will address the correction of out-of-scope changes according to the
Change Management Process. Graviton will submit a schedule for making changes to the service
deliverable within three (3) business days of receiving a rejected Deliverable Acceptance email.
Once Graviton corrects all previously identified in-scope problems, the Deliverable will go
through the acceptance process again. The Deliverable will be deemed accepted when City
provides an email reply stating the City approves the deliverable.
5) Monitoring and Reporting - The Graviton project team will track Deliverable acceptance.
Updates on Deliverable acceptance will be discussed in the project management status meeting.
Deliverable acceptance issues that cannot be resolved will be elevated to the Project Steering
Committee.

PRODUCTS OR SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS
IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
If a third party makes a claim against either You or Oracle (“Recipient,” which may refer to You or us, depending
upon which party received the Material), that any information, design, specification, instruction, software, service,
data, hardware, or material (collectively, “Material”) furnished by either You or us (“Provider,” which may refer to
You or us depending on which party provided the Material) infringes the third party’s intellectual property rights,
the Provider, at the Provider’s sole cost and expense, will, to the extent not prohibited by law, defend the Recipient
against the claim and indemnify the Recipient from the damages, liabilities, costs and expenses awarded by the
court to the third party claiming infringement or the settlement agreed to by the Provider, if the Recipient does the
following:
a. notifies the Provider promptly in writing, not later than 30 days after the Recipient receives notice of the claim
(or sooner if required by applicable law);
b. gives the Provider sole control of the defense and any settlement negotiations to the extent permitted by law;
and
c. gives the Provider the information, authority and assistance the Provider needs to defend against or settle the
claim.
8.1. If the Provider believes or it is determined that any of the Material may have violated a third party’s intellectual
property rights, the Provider may choose to either modify the Material to be non -infringing (while substantially
preserving its utility or functionality) or obtain a license to allow for continued use, or if these a lternatives are not
commercially reasonable, the Provider may end the license for, and require return of, the applicable Material and
refund any unused, prepaid fees the Recipient may have paid to the other party for such Material. If such return
materially affects our ability to meet obligations under the relevant order, then we may, upon 30 day s’ prior written
notice, terminate the order and refund any unused, prepaid fees for the Services under the terminated order . If
such Material is third party technology and the terms of the third party license do not allow us to terminate the
license, then we may, upon 30 days’ prior written notice, end the Services associated with such Material and refund
any unused, prepaid fees for such Services.
8.2. The Provider will not indemnify the Recipient if the Recipient (a) alters the Material or uses it outside the scope
of use identified in the Provider’s user or program documentation or Service Specifications, or (b) uses a version
of the Material which has been superseded (and the Recipient has been notified in writing of the new version), if
the infringement claim could have been avoided by using an unaltered current version of the Material which was
made available to the Recipient. The Provider will not indemnify the Recipient to the extent that an infringement
claim is based upon any material not furnished by the Provider. We will not indemnify You to the extent that an
infringement claim is based on Third Party Content or any material from a third party portal or other external source
that is accessible or made available to You within or by the Services (e.g., a social media post from a third part y
blog or forum, a third party web page accessed via a hyperlink, marketing data from third party data providers ,
etc.).
8.3. This Section 8 provides the parties’ exclusive remedy for any claims or damages under Section 8.1.
9. TERM AND TERMINATION
9.1. Unless this Agreement is terminated earlier, You may place orders governed by this Agreement for a period
of five years from the date You accept this Agreement. Even if terminated, this Agreement will continue to govern
any order for the duration of the Services Period of such order.

contrary in the Service Specifications, the Services You order will not be automatically renewed.

significant threat to the functionality, security, integrity, or availability of the Services or any content, data, or
applications in the Services; (b) You or Your Users a re accessing or using the Services to commit an illegal act;
(c) there is a violation of the Acceptable Use Policy; or (d) You provided false account or payment information or
Your digital payment method is refused. When reasonably practicable and lawfully permitted, we will provide You
with advance notice of any such suspension. For Services with the applicable operational capability, Oracle will

use reasonable efforts to limit any suspension only to the portion of the Services related to the issue caus ing
suspension. We will use reasonable efforts to re-establish the Services promptly after we determine that the issue
causing the suspension has been resolved. During any suspension period, we will make Your Content (as it
existed on the suspension date) available to You. Any suspension under this Section shall not excuse You from
Your payment obligations.
9.4. If either of us breaches a material term of this Agreement or any order and fails to correct the breach within
30 days of written specification of the breach (provided in accordance with Section 16.1 below), then the breaching
party is in default and the non-breaching party may terminate (a) in the case of breach of any order, the order
under which the breach occurred; or (b) in the case of breach of this Agreement, this Agreement and any orders
that have been placed under this Agreement. If we terminate any orders as specified in the preceding sentence,

unpaid for the terminated order(s) plus related taxes and expenses. Except for nonpayment of fees, the non-
breaching party may agree in its sole discretion to extend the 30 day period for so long as the breaching party
continues reasonable efforts to cure the breach. You agree that if You are in default under this Agreement and/or
Your order, You may not use those Services ordered.

such termination. Termination of the Agreement will not affect orders that are outstanding at the time of termination.
Those orders will be performed according to their terms as if this Agreement were still in full force and effect.
However, those orders may not be renewed or extended subsequent to termination of this Agreement.
9.6 At the end of the Services Period, we will make Your Content (as it existed at the end of the Services Period)
available for retrieval by You during a retrieval period specified in the Service Specifications. Following the retrieval
period, and except as may be required by law, we will delete any of Your Content that remains in the Services.
Our data deletion practices are described in more detail in the Service Specifications.

indemnification, payment and others which by their nature are intended to survive.

Environmental Review No. ER-2025-58 was filed for Project No. 20-6959.
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency Engineering Services Division (PWA) is responsible for the
administration and oversight of all Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) in the City. The
Main Street Rehabilitation Project (No. 20-6959, 20-6960) will resurface Main Street
from Memory Lane to the North City Limits by utilizing slurry seal, crack seal, and minor
pavement resurfacing with asphalt concrete. As a standard, the City utilizes Rubberized
Emulsion Aggregate Slurry (REAS) when performing slurry seal pavement rehabilitation
which is a type of slurry seal that uses recycled tire rubber, enhancing its performance
and sustainability. REAS offers several benefits, including extended pavement life, cost-
effectiveness, and environmental friendliness compared to other pavement slurries.
The project scope was refined through field walks and collaboration with the Mainplace
Mall, City of Orange, and surrounding businesses. The work also includes replacement
and installation of missing or damaged curbs, gutters, sidewalk, driveway approaches,
wheelchair ramps, and striping. This project is a key component of the City’s adopted
Capital Improvement Program and supports the broader vision of creating a more
accessible, safe, and sustainable transportation network for all users.
The City of Orange shares the right-of way within Main Street from E City Place Drive to
North City Limits (Exhibit 1). Therefore, a Cooperative Cost Reimbursement agreement
is required for the City of Orange to fund their portion of the improvements. The
Cooperative Cost Reimbursement agreement between the City and the City of Orange
identifies the roles and responsibilities of each party and identifies each parties’ costs.
The City of Orange’s cost reimbursement amount of up to $104,670 includes $20,935
for their share of the Construction Engineering costs (Exhibit 2).
Once completed, these changes will improve the City's overall pavement condition,
enhance the visual appearance of the street, upgrade ride quality, drainage, and
support compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.
Project Advertisement and Contractor Procurement
To provide an opportunity for local vendors to submit bids, the City notified a total of 71
regional vendors via PlanetBids, many of which are Santa Ana based. Furthermore,
staff specifically reached out to Santa Ana vendors to encourage their participation in

bids. A total of four bids were received. No bids were received from Santa Ana
contractors.
As legally required, a Notice Inviting Bids was advertised in the Orange County Register
newspaper on June 10 and June 17, 2025. The project was also advertised in
PlanetBids from June 10, 2025 to June 26, 2025. Bids were received electronically via
PlanetBids on June 26, 2025. No bid protest was submitted by any of the bidders during
the bid protest period.
A copy of construction plans, contracts, specifications, and all related reference
materials (such as The Greenbook) are available for public review at the City’s Public
Works Agency, Central Files office located in City Hall.
Bid Results Summary

1 All American Asphalt Corona, CA $792,573
2 Hardy & Harper, Inc.Lake Forest, CA $821,480
3 R.J. Noble Company Orange, CA $908,180
4 Excel Paving Co.Long Beach, CA $968,852
A total of four bids were received and four were deemed responsive. All American
Asphalt submitted the lowest responsive base bid in the amount of $792,573 (Exhibit 3).
As specified in the bid documents, the lowest bid shall be determined on the basis of
the Base Bid. Based on the bid analysis and a contractor’s reference check, staff
recommends awarding the construction contract to $792,573 (Exhibit 4).
All American Asphalt has previously performed work as a prime contractor in the City of
Santa Ana within the past five years, including Local Street Preventative Maintenance
FY23-24 and Grand Rehabilitation from Warner to Edinger. The contractor satisfactorily
completed these projects and staff recommends awarding the construction contract to
All American Asphalt for the construction of the Project. (Exhibit 4).
Project Delivery
To deliver a complete project, in addition to the construction contract, the estimated total
project delivery cost includes a budget allocation for construction administration,
inspection, and testing. Construction administration and inspection may be performed
by either Staff or consultants and includes construction management, inspection of the
Contractor’s work to ensure contract compliance, workmanship and quality, materials
testing, and implementation of the labor requirements.
Any of the allocated construction administration funds not spent are considered project
savings and are returned to the respective fund balance upon close out of the project.

City of Santa Ana
20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701
Staff Report
August 5, 2025
TOPIC: Master Reimbursement Agreement with Orange County Sanitation District
AGENDA TITLE
Master Reimbursement Agreement with Orange County Sanitation District (Non-General
Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve a Master Reimbursement Agreement with Orange County Sanitation District
and authorize the City Manager to enter into subsequent Project Specific Supplemental
Agreements as needed for the adjustment of OC Sanitation’s manhole frame and
covers as part of City’s Capital Improvement Projects (Agreement No. A-2025-XXX).
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency Engineering Services Division (PWA) is responsible for the
administration and oversight of all Capital Improvement Projects in the City. Projects
involving pavement rehabilitation require adjusting water valve and manhole covers to
be flush with the new pavement. While most projects only involve City-owned water
valve and manhole covers, some projects require coordinating with outside public
jurisdictions such as our neighboring cities and/or public utilities such as the Orange
County Sanitation District (OC San) for the adjustment of these facilities.
Street rehabilitation projects routinely involve the adjustment of OC San’s manhole
frames and covers. The current protocol requires staff to enter into project specific
agreements with OC San to be reimbursed for these improvements. A typical project
may include several of these facilities at an estimated cost of $2,000 each. This requires
additional staff time to prepare the agreements and staff reports as well as additional
Council and OC San Board actions for each project for relatively low-cost
reimbursements.
Approval of this Master Reimbursement Agreement will streamline the process and
allow the City and OC San to timely address manhole adjustments in future projects.
The Master Reimbursement Agreement will be for a 10-year term and establish the
general terms for OC San to consistently reimburse the City for the manhole adjustment

costs which includes a 15% administrative payment. Reimbursement will be provided
through a simplified project-specific Supplemental Agreement executed by the City
Manager.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Master Reimbursement Agreement
(Exhibit 1) and authorize the City Manager to enter into subsequent Project Specific
Supplemental Agreements as needed for reimbursement of OC San manhole
adjustments costs.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action at this time. The City will initially
perform the OC San work on their behalf and invoice OC San upon completion. The
reimbursement will be deposited back to the project.

Staff Report
August 5, 2025
TOPIC: Depository Banking Services
AGENDA TITLE
Resolution and Second Amendment to Agreement with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A.
(General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1.Adopt a Resolution designating J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. as the official
depository for the City of Santa Ana for two (2) additional years commencing January
1, 2027 through December 31, 2028.
RESOLUTION NO. 2025-XXX entitled A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA DESIGNATING JP MORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., AS
THE DEPOSITORY FOR CITY OF SANTA ANA FUNDS, FOR TWO (2) ADDITIONAL
YEARS THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2028, AND DESIGNATING SIGNATORIES
AUTHORIZED FOR THE PURPOSE OF WITHDRAWAL OF SAID FUND
2.Authorize the City Manager to execute a second amendment to agreement with J.P.
Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMC”) to provide additional banking and related services
in the amount of $225,000, for a total agreement amount not to exceed $787,500
(Agreement No. A-2025-XXX).
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes
DISCUSSION
The Treasury and Customer Service Division (“Treasury”) of the Finance and
Management Services Agency (“FMSA”) is responsible for maintaining all banking related
services and transactions for the City, Successor Agency, and Housing Authority.
Banking related services include, but are not limited to: daily deposit processing
(electronic/physical checks, currency, and coin), check clearing, Automated Clearing
House (ACH), gateway services, wire services, and account reconciliation.
The term of the current agreement with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. ends December
31, 2026. The recommended action would extend that term to December 31, 2028.
City Council 19 – 1 8/5/2025
Second Amendment JPMC
August 5, 2025
Page 2

To strengthen payment security and streamline operations, staff recommends
implementing three additional banking services through the City’s current agreement with
JPMorgan Chase (JPMC):
1. Check Printing Services – Transitioning the City’s in-house check printing process
to JPMC-managed services to reduce manual handling, improve efficiency, and
reduce the City’s exposure to check fraud.
2. Payee Validation Services – Verifying vendor and supplier identity details before
payments are issued to prevent misdirected payments.
3. ACH Replay Functionality – Allowing the City to securely reprocess ACH files in
the event of a catastrophic disruption of the City’s financial systems.
Due to the complexity and scale of banking operations in large public agencies, it is
common for banking contracts to be of longer duration to ensure continuity of service and
minimize risk. Implementing the services listed above requires careful coordination,
system integration, and adequate testing.
The additional two (2) years of service with JPMC would allow Treasury to accurately
test and implement the additional services noted above and prepare to undergo a
formal RFP process for banking and related services and a potential transition to a
different financial institution. Furthermore, the timing of the extension would allow the
competitive solicitation to align with the implementation of the City’s new Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) system, ensuring the selected provider can meet the
operational needs of the updated financial system.
The City’s agreement and amendments with JPMC allow for fluctuations in the volume of
banking transactions, since activity can vary from month to month. However, as noted in
the Fiscal Impact section, banking fees for services provided by JPMC are typically offset
by credits the City earns based on its account balances.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Bank fees for these additional services will be covered using credits the City earns from
its bank based on account balances. At current interest rates, we expect these credits to
fully pay for the fees. If the credits are not enough, any remaining costs would be offset
by interest income the City earns from its investments (Account: 58000 Earnings on
Investments).

RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Oct. 8-10, 2025
Long Beach Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly
at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important
opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities
policy.
Taking place on Oct. 10, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates
appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed
voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing
your city and voting on resolutions.
To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting
delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the
designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may
either be an elected or appointed official.
Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate
and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that
designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action
and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.
Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online
submission portal by Wed., Sept. 24. When completing the Voting Delegate submission
form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be
signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.
Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting
delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference
communications with voting delegates.
Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be
registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference;
they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities
website.
Council Action Advised by September 24, 2025
City Council 20 – 3 8/5/2025
For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in
possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and
alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up
the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive
the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the
voting area during the General Assembly.
Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.
Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting
delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates,
but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and
alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not
transfer the voting card to another city official.
Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a
voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the
individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge

General Assembly Voting Guidelines
1. One City One Vote. Each member city has a right to cast one vote on
matters pertaining to Cal Cities policy.
2. Designating a City Voting Representative. Prior to the Cal Cities Annual
Conference and Expo, each city council may designate a voting delegate
and up to two alternates; these individuals are identified on the voting
delegate form provided to the Cal Cities Credentials Committee.
3. Registering with the Credentials Committee. The voting delegate, or
alternates, may pick up the city's voting card at the voting delegate desk in
the conference registration area. Voting delegates and alternates must sign
in at the voting delegate desk. Here they will receive a special sticker on
their name badge and thus be admitted to the voting area at the General
Assembly.
4. Signing Initiated Resolution Petitions. Only those individuals who are voting
delegates (or alternates), and who have picked up their city’s voting card
by providing a signature to the credentials committee at the voting
delegate desk, may sign petitions to initiate a resolution.
5. Voting. To cast the city's vote, a city official must have in their possession the
city's voting card and voting tool; and be registered with the credentials
committee. The voting card may be transferred freely between the voting
delegate and alternates but may not be transferred to another city official
who is neither a voting delegate nor alternate.
6. Voting Area at General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with
a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will
be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a
special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.
7. Resolving Disputes. In case of dispute, the credentials committee will
determine the validity of signatures on petitioned resolutions and the right of
a city official to vote at the General Assembly.
City Council 20 – 5 8/5/2025
Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.
How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to
ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote
local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.
The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the
development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal
Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.
The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.
Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.
Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.
Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.
Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.
The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.
Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.
Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.
During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.
Cal Cities policy
development is a member-
informed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.
