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

Currently $562,258 are remaining in the General Plan Update fund (05016018) for the project with anticipated completion in early 2019. Because the grant is federally funded, the City must recruit and hire technical consultants in a manner that meets federal regulations. Although a Request for Proposals (RFP) for general plan consultant work was approved by City Council earlier this year, a revised RFP drafted in compliance with federal regulations is attached for City Council review and approval (Exhibit 2). STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this item supports the City's effort to meet Goal #3 - Economic Development, Objective #2 (Create new opportunities for business/job growth and encourage private development through new General Plan and Zoning Ordinance policies), Strategy A (Complete a comprehensive update of the City's General Plan including the development of policies and implementation measures that directly relate to equitable economic development); and Goal #5 - Community Health, Livability, Engagement & Sustainability, and Objective #6 (Focus projects and programs on improving the health and wellness of all residents).
