Music. First thing is the fire department is a little bit nervous about the number of people in this room and the folks that are standing. So right behind me in the Weimer room is a nice big comfy room. If you get back there soon, you can get a nice comfortable seat. And please come back if you want to speak or something comes up on the agenda that you particularly want to hear. But if we could cut the crowd back a little bit, particularly those who don't have seats or standing, that would be great. Also, if you have a cell phone and you have not silenced it already, this is a great time to do that. So we will begin tonight with an invocation by Pastor Orlando Barella from Household of Faith Family Church to be followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, led by Council Member Ariana Barrios. Please stand. Mayor Slater, members of the Council, citizens of Orange, let's pray. Our gracious Father, we come to you today in the name of Jesus, asking you, Lord God, to watch over our city. I thank you for this city, Lord. This is a place where we chose to make it our home. Father, we don't always agree on things, but Father, let us be a city that can work together. Father, I pray for our mayor and our council and ask, Father, for your wisdom. Give them guidance, leadership, direction, Father, that they would be able to hear your voice and be led by your spirit, Father. Lord, as we get ready for elections, remind us, God.

Planning Commission

Planning Commission to consider new historic preservation ordinance and Heritage Commission

The Orange Planning Commission will hold a public hearing to consider a proposed ordinance that would replace the current Historic Districts chapter (17.17) with a new Historic Preservation and Cultural Resources chapter, and would replace the Design Review Committee with a new Heritage Commission. The commission will vote on a resolution recommending the City Council adopt the ordinance and will find the action exempt from CEQA. This is the main substantive item on the agenda; the rest is routine procedural matters.

Orange City Council

Council to consider vehicle incentive program with five Orange dealerships

The Orange City Council will hold a public hearing on a proposed Vehicle Incentive Program with five local dealerships, contingent on voter approval of a future sales tax measure. The council will also consider consent items including contracts for environmental services, building services, and asphalt repairs, as well as adopt an ordinance updating park smoking and vaping rules. Additionally, they will discuss potential annexation of county islands within the city's sphere of influence.

✓ Decided: Orange council backs car-dealer rebate program tied to a future sales tax vote

The Orange City Council approved a Vehicle Incentive Program Participation Agreement with five franchised Orange dealerships, contingent on voters approving a future Transactions and Use Tax (sales tax) measure. The program would run April 1, 2027 to April 1, 2040, with rebates not to exceed $1,550,000 per year ($20,150,000 over the 13-year term). A substitute motion to broaden the program to all dealerships failed 2-4. The council also approved its responses to two Orange County Grand Jury reports and adopted Ordinance No. 13-26 on parks smoking and vaping rules.
