and concern.
DISCUSSION
On September 3, 2019, the Santa Ana City Council authorized an annexation application be
submitted to OC LAFCO for the "Reorganization of 17th Street and Tustin Unincorporated Island
to the City of Santa Ana". The proposed annexation area encompasses a 24.78 -acre County
Island (see Exhibit A of the Service Agreement), generally located at the northeast corner of
Seventeenth Street and Tustin Ave.
The City of Tustin currently maintains and operates water lines and facilities that provide potable
water service to all parcels within the proposed annexation area. The Service Agreement was
drafted collectively between the City of Tustin and the City of Santa Ana that will allow the City of
Tustin to continue providing potable water services to the developed and undeveloped parcels

infrastructure to provide potable water service. The Santa Ana City Council acted on September
3, 2019 authorizing the City to enter into the Service Agreement.
OC LAFCO has requested an executed Service Agreement prior to proceeding with the
consideration of the annexation application. The Service Agreement has been reviewed and
approved by the City Attorney.

OCT 1 1 2019 SERVICE AGREEMENT
BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF SANTA ANA
AND THE CITY OF TUSTIN
REGARDING POTABLE WATER SERVICE FOR
VARIOUS PARCELS OF UNINCORPORATED REAL PROPERTY
This Service Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into by and between the City of Santa
Ana, a charter city and municipal corporation organized and existing under the Constitution and
laws of the State of California ("Santa Ana"), and the City of Tustin, a California municipal
corporation ("Tustin") (each referred to as "Party" and collectively referred to as the "Parties") on
the effective date of the reorganization of "Island Parcels" involving the annexation of the "Island
Parcels" to Santa Ana and detachment of same territory from the Municipal Water District of
Orange County as specified in Section A below.
RECITALS
A. As provided by the Cortese -Knox -Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization
Act of 2000 (Gov. Code, §§ 56000 et seq.) and the Orange County Local Agency Formation
Commission's ("OC LAFCO") policies and procedures, Santa Ana will submit to OC LAFCO an
application to annex 57 parcels and detachment of the same parcels from the Municipal Water
District of Orange County. The annexation collectively constitutes an island of unincorporated
territory within Santa Ana's sphere of influence with Assessor's Parcel Numbers ("APNs") 396-
303-01 to -28, 396-304-01 to -11, 396-312-13, -14, and -15, 396-313-01 to -03, -06 to -11, and
396-314-01 to -06 ("Island Parcels") as shown on Exhibit A.
B. Santa Ana is presently without the necessary water system infrastructure to directly
provide Potable Water Services to the Island Parcels, but contemplates and fully intends to ensure
that the Island Parcels receive adequate Potable Water Service consistent with the level of service
contemplated by Santa Ana subsequent to the Annexation, including installation and completion
of all necessary water system infrastructure and performance of all customer service functions
("Potable Water Service") following Santa Ana's annexation of the Island Parcels.
C. Tustin maintains and operates water lines and facilities that provide Potable Water
Services to all developed Island Parcels.
D. Santa Ana and Tustin desire to enter into this Agreement, whereby Tustin will
provide Potable Water Service to the Island Parcels. Tustin will to provide water service to the
Island Parcels until such time Santa Ana has completed water system infrastructure to serve the
entire Island Parcels.
E. This Agreement constitutes a service agreement in which "[t]wo or more public
agencies where the public service to be provided is an alternative to, or substitute for, public
services already being provided by an existing public service provider and where the level of
service to be provided is consistent with the level of service contemplated by the existing service
provider." (Gov. Code, § 56133(e)(1)).
1 of 7
F. Under Government Code, section 56133 and OC LAFCO's "Policy & Procedures
for the Review and/or Processing of Out -Of -Area Agreements by the Executive Officer (Gov't
Code §56133)," this Agreement is not an out -of -area service agreement requiring OC LAliCO's
review and approval because; (1) Santa Ana and Tustin are both public agencies; and (2) upon
annexation, Santa Ana will have the exclusive authority to provide Potable Water Services to the
Island Parcels. However, Santa Ana has found that such activities can be more efficiently and
more conveniently performed by Tustin pursuant to this Agreement at this time,
G. This Agreement will in no way adversely impact water services to current
customers of Santa Ana or Tustin, will not induce growth, and will not result in the duplication of
services in the territory of either city.
H. This Agreement serves the public interest, economy, and general welfare.

CERTIFICATION
Based upon the recitals and the terms of this Agreement, I find that Tustin's provision of
Potable Water Services outside its jurisdictional boundary to the Island Parcels does not constitute
a contract or agreement requiring OC LAFCO approval under Government Code section 56133.
