STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Manuel Carrillo Jr, Chief Executive Officer
PREPARED BY: Vanessa Martinez, Human Resources Analyst II DATE: September 16, 2026

SUBJECT: Approval of removing one Part Time Department Assistant Position and Adding a Parrt Time Engineering Assistant
Position

SUMMARY:

The Engineering Division is experiencing a substantial backlog of technical work, including encroachment permits, land development project review, capital improvement program project management, construction inspections, and program management. The Division’s current staffing structure includes a Department Assistant position; however, the Division’s operational need is increasingly technical rather than administrative.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is recommended that the City Council approve eliminating the Department Assistant position and replace it with an Engineering Assistant position and authorize the Director of Finance to make the necessary appropriation and budget adjustments.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no impact to the General Fund. The labor allocations will be the same for the Engineering Assistant as they were for the Department Assistant in the current budget. There is an estimated increase of $19,555.20 per fiscal year for the Engineering Assistant.

Engineering Assistant 254 50 500 50116 15045 25.00%

BACKGROUND:

The Department Assistant has recently been assigned duties that are more technical in nature, including assistance with encroachment permits. These assignments are more closely aligned with the duties and responsibilities of the City’s existing Engineering Assistant classification. Replacing the Department Assistant position with an

Engineering Assistant position would better align staffing resources with current service demands and help reduce the technical workload backlog. Also, the Department Assistant was a job with very limited upward mobility.

Establishing the Engineering Assistant position will function as an entry level position in the Engineering Division with the ability to promote in the future. In addition, this will allow for the Department to have two (2) Engineer Assistants to serve the needs of the City.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed part-time Engineering Assistant Position will require a maximum budget increase of $19,555.20 per year. This is based on 960 hours worked and the maximum step on the salary scale difference between the two positions.

ALTERNATIVES:

No alternatives are recommended.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council:

1. Conduct a Public Hearing to receive public comments and approve the Final FY 2025-2026 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Programs; and

2. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to transmit the FY 2025-2026 CAPER to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) by the September 30, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact to approve and file this document.

BACKGROUND:

Annually, the City is required to submit a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

The City is also required to provide an opportunity for public review and comment and conduct a public hearing prior to submission of the report to HUD.

The purpose of the CAPER is threefold:
• To provide HUD with information necessary to evaluate the City's performance in carrying out federally funded programs in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and program requirements. • To provide information necessary for HUD's annual reporting requirements to Congress regarding the use and effectiveness of federal housing and community development funds. • To provide the City with an opportunity to document accomplishments achieved in addressing community development, housing, public service, and public infrastructure needs identified in the City's Consolidated

Plan.

The attached CAPER has been prepared in accordance with HUD reporting requirements and summarizes the City's accomplishments and progress under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Programs during the period of July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026.

The CAPER also reports the City's progress toward achieving the goals and objectives identified in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and the FY 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan. The report includes information on program accomplishments, expenditures, beneficiary data, and progress made in meeting the housing and community development needs of low and moderate income residents.

The FY 2025-2026 CAPER highlights activities undertaken with federal entitlement funds to support affordable housing, public services, public facility improvements, infrastructure improvements, and other eligible activities consistent with the City's adopted Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan priorities.

Following the Public Hearing and consideration of any public comments received, it is recommended that the Mayor and City Council approve the FY 2025-2026 CAPER and authorize its submission to HUD.

DISCUSSION:

The FY 2025–2026 CAPER provides a comprehensive summary of Baldwin Park’s performance in implementing the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) programs during the reporting period. The document evaluates progress toward the goals identified in the City’s 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and FY 2025–2026 Annual Action Plan, including activities related to affordable housing, public services, public facilities, and infrastructure improvements.

Key accomplishments include expenditure of federal funds consistent with HUD requirements, delivery of eligible public service programs, advancement of housing rehabilitation efforts, and continued support for activities benefiting low and moderate-income residents. No significant deviations from planned activities occurred during the program year. The CAPER also includes required beneficiary data, performance metrics, and explanations of program outcomes.

The Public Hearing allows the community an opportunity to provide input prior to final submission of the CAPER to HUD. Adoption of the CAPER ensures the City remains in compliance with federal reporting requirements and maintains eligibility for future CDBG and HOME funding.

Introduction

The City of Baldwin Park’s (City) FY 2025-26 Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) is the first year-end performance evaluation under the 202 5-2029 Consolidated Plan.

Baldwin Park’s Consolidated Plan builds upon other related planning documents, including the City's 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element.

The City’s Consolidated Plan strategy includes general priorities to meet the needs of the community and the City’s rationale for investment of federal funds. To address the needs, the City identified the following priorities as having the greatest need in the community:

1. Expand the supply of affordable housing.

2. Preserve the supply of affordable housing.

3. Ensure equal access to housing opportunities.

4. Provide neighborhood services, community facilities and infrastructure improvements.

5. Provide public services for low-income residents.

6. Provide public services for residents with special needs.

Assess how the jurisdiction’s use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan, giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified.

The City allocated the largest share of its CDBG funding to non-housing community development activities, including three public facility and infrastructure projects, code enforcement, and public services. This allocation was preceded by funding for program administration, supported by both CDBG and HOME funds. The Consolidated Plan's five-year priorities for CDBG and HOME funding are informed by several key factors: 1) identifying the households most in need of housing and community development assistance, based on the Consolidated Plan's needs assessment, consultations, and public participation; 2) determining which activities will best address the needs of these households; and 3) leveraging non-federal resources to match and enhance CDBG and HOME funds.

During the fiscal year, the City provided support to the CDBG-funded Code Enforcement Program.

The program operated under a targeted code enforcement strategy, the Community Enhancement Comprehensive Plan, which was developed in accordance with HUD requirements.

The City had a goal to inspect 800 housing units under State and local health, safety, and building codes and by the end of the year and was only able to accomplish 75.5% of that goal (604 housing units).

Under the affordable housing category, the City successfully completed two previously funded affordable housing projects Retirement Housing Foundation’s “Central Metro Place” and the Cesar Chavez Foundation Affordable Housing Project “Esteban E. Torres Village”. Meanwhile other initiatives, including the residential rehabilitation loan and grant programs and Habitat for Humanity’s CHDO homeownership efforts, remained on hold.

Public service activities continued to operate effectively during FY 2025-26. The Redeemer Food Bank, Sports Scholarship & Pride Platoon Programs were discontinued, and funds were reallocated to the Graffiti Removal Program, which allowed the team to accelerate response time delivering a visibly cleaner environment and a positive quality-of-life impact across the city.

Other funded programs included the Youth Employment Program. The Youth Employment Program, which provides work experience at Baldwin Park City Hall and serves as a feeder for part-time positions, engaged four participants during the year.

Public service activities targeting special needs populations included the Domestic Violence Advocacy Program and the East San Gabriel Valley Coalition for the Homeless. The Domestic Violence Advocacy Program assisted 141 victims, compared to a goal of 250. The Coalition for the

Narrative
During FY 2025-26, the City had $5,921,374.07 in federal CDBG and HOME funding to address the goals and objectives of the FY 2025-26 Action Plan. Specifically, the CDBG entitlement amount for FY 2025-26 was $850,026 and prior year unspent funds were $1,440,749.09 resulting in a total of $2,280,161.09 for CDBG. HOME funding for FY 202 5-26 was $247,965 in entitlement funds, 2,590,200.70 in unspent prior year funds, and $813,816.94 in program income.

Expenditures during the 2025-26 program year totaled $ 836,407.83 from federal resources which addressed the needs of extremely low, low, and moderate -income persons. CDBG expenditures of $685,752.36 included expenditures related to code enforcement, public services, and CDBG program administration . A total of $ 150,655.47 in HOME expenditures were related to HOME program administration.

Of the total $ 836,407.83 disbursements made during the program year, 25.22 percent were directed towards the Community Enhancement Area. This portion of the funds was used to support the Code Enforcement and Graffiti Removal Programs, which are crucial for maintaining

CAPER 16
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
and improving the quality of life within specific neighborhoods.

The remaining 74.78 percent of expenditures were allocated to citywide activities that serve broader community needs. This included funding for various public services, such as emergency assistance and social programs, as well as administrative costs associated with managing the CDBG program. By concentrating on these areas, the City aimed to maximize the impact of its CDBG resources across the entire community.

Leveraging

Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were use d to address the needs identified in the plan.

HUD requires HOME Participating Jurisdictions (PJs) to provide a match of 25 percent of their annual HOME allocation. According to 24 CFR 92.222, PJs that meet specific distress criteria, such as fiscal distress, severe fiscal distress, or Presidential dis aster declarations, are eligible for a match reduction.

For the 2024-25 federal fiscal year (October 1, 2023 – September 30, 2024), the City of Baldwin Park received a 50 percent reduction in its HOME match requirement from HUD, resulting in a required match of 12.5 percent. During this period, the City completed $428,229.30 in HOME draws, of which $397,481.30 were subject to the match requirement. Based on the 12.5 percent match rate, the City incurred a liability of $49,685.16, which was satisfied using excess match carried over from prior years. After applying this amount, the City’s excess match balance decreased from $3,885,831 to $3,836,145.84, which remains available for use in future years.

No publicly owned land was utilized for activities in the 2024-25 program year.

Discuss the difference between goals and outcomes and problems encountered in meeting these goals.

In FY 2025-26, the City of Baldwin Park did not propose any new affordable housing projects nor did it complete the development of projects from prior years. However, the City was able to successfully complete two significant affordable housing projects.

The Cesar Chavez Foundation collaborated with Baldwin Park on an affordable housing development located at 4109 and 4113 Downing Avenue, and 14617, 14625, and 14637 Ramona Boulevard. This approximately 1 -acre site include s a total of 5 1 units, comprising of 15 one- bedroom units, 15 two -bedroom units, 1 5 three-bedroom units and 5 four -bedroom units and one managers unit. The project was awarded $500,000 in Baldwin Park HOME funding and w as utilize 4% Low- Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC). Construction was completed on . Three of

CAPER 21
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
the projects’ units will be HOME-restricted.

Additionally, the City partnered with the Retirement Housing Foundation (RHF) on the "Central Metro Place" project, a multi-site senior housing development at the corner of Downing Avenue and Central Street. This project features 54 age-restricted units (plus one manager’s unit), onsite parking, and a range of amenities designed specifically for seniors. The project received $500,000 in HOME funding to secure three units at HOME -rents in the FY 2022- 23 Annual Action Plan .

Project was completed on April 23, 2026.

Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.

The successful completion of the two affordable housing developments in FY 25/26 – the multi- family housing project and the dedicated senior residential community will fundamentality shift the strategic priorities and resource allocations in future annual action plans. These investments represent a substantial step toward expanding the City's affordable housing stock.

In addition to these commitments, the City has approximately $2 million in available funds designated for gap financing. This funding is intended to support the acquisition and rehabilitation or construction of additional affordable rental housing. This re serve of funds provides a crucial financial resource for bridging funding gaps, ensuring that more affordable housing projects can be realized in the future, thereby addressing the ongoing need for affordable rental options in the community.

Include the number of extremely low -income, low -income, and moderate -income persons served by each activity where information on income by family size is required to determine the eligibility of the activity.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c)

Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending homelessness through:

Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs

The CoC and its partner agencies will continue to provide a continuum of programs ranging from outreach, access centers, emergency shelters, safe havens, transitional and permanent housing, and prevention. More specifically, LAHSA, the County’s CoC, will c ontinue efforts in 2025- 26 to add emergency and transitional shelter housing units through expedited construction or rehabilitation of facilities to accommodate homeless persons. These efforts were supplemented by the Point-In-Time (PIT) Count that occurred within Los Angeles County from January 23, 2024, through January 25, 2024 . According to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), the number of people experiencing homelessness fell by 0.27% in Los Angeles County from 2022 counts. This was a stark difference from prior year increases such as a near 26% jump in homelessness from 2018 to 2020. LAHSA attributes the “flattening” of the homelessness curve to government programs that were in place during the pandemic that kept fa milies and individuals housed which prevented further homelessness. Policies such as eviction moratoriums and programs such as rental assistance and economic stimulus grants could have played a vital role in preventing additional homelessness between 2020 and 2024.

For Baldwin Park specifically, the January PIT count enumerated 168 homeless individuals in the City including 112 sheltered persons, and 56 persons that were found to live in places not designed for, or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings, including a car, park, RV’s or campers, tents, makeshift shelters, or the street. The unsheltered homeless count fell by 117 persons from 2022 when the count was 173 persons; additionally, the number of sheltered homeless fell from 102 persons in 2022 to 112 persons in 2024.

The City will continue to work with the East San Gabriel Valley Coalition for the Homeless, a nonprofit organization, to reach out to homeless persons to assess their needs for temporary shelter, winter shelter, and referral services. The Coalition will focus on providing critical and immediate intervention for unsheltered persons, to include assessment, intake, referral, and transportation to resources.

CAPER 24
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons

In October 2018, the Baldwin Park City Council approved Resolution No. 2018 -298, declaring a shelter crisis in compliance with SB 850 and submitting the declaration to the Los Angeles County Continuum of Care (CoC). This action enabled the City to collabor ate with the Tri -City Cohort Partnership, which includes the Cities of El Monte and South El Monte, to implement coordinated homeless plans.

Through the Mid- Valley Collaborative on Homelessness, Baldwin Park and its partner cities developed a five -year plan to strengthen regional efforts to address homelessness. The plan emphasizes inter -city coordination, securing additional funding, preventing homelessness, expanding workforce development opportunities, and increasing the supply of affordable and supportive housing.

As a result, the three cities secured Measure H funding through the Los Angeles County Homeless Implementation Plan, supporting both interim and permanent housing for individuals experiencing homelessness. In 2021, Baldwin Park opened Esperanza Villa, the San Gabriel Valley’s first tiny home village, providing 25 non -congregate shelter beds as an innovative emergency housing model. The following year, the City launched Serenity Homes, a 16 -unit family bridge housing project supported by the San Gabriel Valley Regional Housing Trust, City Net, the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments, LAHSA, and the American Rescue Plan Act.

Serenity Homes delivers a wide r ange of supportive services, including counseling, food assistance, medical and mental health assessments, and job placement, to help families transition into permanent housing.

Building on these efforts, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022 -006 on February 16, 2022, approving an agreement with the San Gabriel Valley Regional Housing Trust to operate a temporary facility on City -owned property. This site provided more than 50 beds for homeless families over a two -year period, along with case management, meals, security, and sanitation facilities.

In FY 2025-26, the City continued to address homelessness using CDBG funds to support nonprofit partners. The East San Gabriel Valley Coalition for the Homeless received $ 10,000 for transitional housing, emergency assistance, and winter shelter services, serving 203 individuals during the year. The Domestic Violence Advocacy Program received $ 20,578 to provide shelter and supportive services to 141 victims of domestic violence, including access to transitional housing.

The Los Angeles County Continuum of Care (CoC) has established countywide protocols and procedures to prevent individuals from being discharged into homelessness from public and private care institutions. These protocols aim to reduce the number of people discharged into homelessness by at least 10 percent annually. The CoC works in coordination with state and local agencies, as well as privately funded institutions, to develop and enhance programs that assist at-risk individuals with emergency financial su pport. This includes providing short -term assistance for utilities, rent, childcare, and other basic needs. Additionally, the CoC supports pre- release planning for individuals leaving state prisons and state mental health hospitals to ensure they are not released into homelessness.

Preventing homelessness was also a key priority for the City when developing its Allocation Plan for HOME -American Rescue Plan (HOME -ARP) funds. Under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which allocated $1.9 trillion in coronavirus relief, the City received $1,128,365 to reduce homelessness and enhance housing stability. The Allocation Plan, which received approval from both the City Council and HUD during FY 2022 -23, outlines the use of these funds for tenant- based rental assistance and supportive services. These efforts are designed to help low -income individuals and families avoid homelessness. The City is currently navigating a transition due to staffing shortages and is focused on stabilizing its existing programs. As capacity increases, the City will gradually expand to incorporate additional programs to further support housing stability and homelessness prevention.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the peri od of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again

To effectively address the needs of homeless families, families with children, and veterans and their families, the City supports the East San Gabriel Valley Coalition for the Homeless. This organization plays a crucial role in providing essential services , including transitional housing, counseling, and case management, aimed at preventing homelessness and supporting successful transitions to stable housing.

CAPER 26
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)

In FY 2025-26, the East San Gabriel Valley Coalition for the Homeless served approximately 228 unduplicated individuals through its transitional housing program. This program offers temporary housing solutions designed to stabilize families at risk of homelessness and provide them with the necessary resources to regain self-sufficiency.

The Coalition’s approach is comprehensive, combining transitional housing with a suite of supportive services. These services include financial counseling, career coaching, and other case management resources. By integrating these elements, the Coalition ensures that fam ilies not only have a safe place to stay but also receive the guidance and support needed to achieve long- term housing stability.

Financial counseling helps families manage their budgets and plan for future financial stability, while career coaching assists in job search and employment skills development. The case management services provide personalized support to address specific challenges faced by each family, helping them navigate the complexities of transitioning to permanent housing.

Through this holistic approach, the East San Gabriel Valley Coalition for the Homeless prepares families to succeed in their transition, equipping them with the tools and support necessary to secure and maintain stable, permanent housing.

CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)

Actions taken to address the needs of public housing

The Housing Authority of the City of Baldwin Park (HACBP) was created and is authorized under the California Housing Authorities Law to develop, own, and operate housing and housing assistance programs for low- and moderate-income families, seniors, persons with disabilities, and other eligible households. HACBP receives funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to administer the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program and other federally funded housing programs.

HACBP administers the tenant-based HCV Program for eligible households in Baldwin Park and the neighboring communities of West Covina, El Monte, South El Monte, and Monrovia. Within the City of Baldwin Park, HACBP also owns and operates McNeill Manor, a 12-unit public housing development that provides affordable housing to low-income senior residents.

During the reporting period, HACBP continued to address the housing needs of public housing residents through the ongoing operation and management of McNeill Manor and by providing rental assistance to eligible low-income households through the HCV Program. HACBP continued to monitor and maintain the McNeill Manor property, respond to resident needs, and provide residents with access to information and services intended to support stable housing. The HCV Program remains an important resource for the community, particularly for households with limited incomes and those who may otherwise be at risk of housing instability.

In fiscal year 25/26 the HACBP expanded it’s Project Based Voucher inventory in connection with the 2 affordable housing sites through Retirement Housing Foundation and the Cesar Chavez Foundation.

These two developments made available 50 multi-family and 37 Senior project-based units. Though the development is complete HACBP is actively working on the final lease up of these units.

During the reporting period, HACBP continued efforts to improve program administration and address operational challenges affecting the agency's ability to fully utilize available voucher resources. The Housing Authority has worked to strengthen internal operations, recruit and retain qualified staff, and improve program processes. These efforts are intended to enhance service delivery, increase program capacity, and support the continued provision of affordable housing assistance to eligible households.

Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership

HACBP encourages public housing residents to participate in matters affecting their housing and to provide input regarding housing authority programs and operations. Residents are provided opportunities to communicate with Housing Authority staff regarding property conditions, maintenance needs, services, and other issues affecting their housing.

CAPER 28
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
At McNeill Manor, HACBP encourages resident participation through direct communication with management and staff, resident meetings, surveys, and other feedback mechanisms, as appropriate.

Resident input is considered in the ongoing operation and management of the public housing development and in identifying opportunities to improve services and the resident experience.

HACBP also provides program information and notices through multiple communication methods to improve access to information for residents, participants, property owners, and the general public.

These efforts include the use of the Housing Authority's website, direct notices, and other electronic and social media communication tools, as appropriate.

Although homeownership assistance is not a primary component of HACBP's current public housing operations, HACBP supports family self-sufficiency and economic stability by providing households with information and referrals to available community resources and programs. Eligible families are encouraged to pursue increased income, employment, education, and other opportunities that may support long-term financial stability and future homeownership goals.

Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs

The Housing Authority of the City of Baldwin Park (HACBP) is not currently designated as a troubled Public Housing Agency. The HACBP Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program has achieved a High Performer designation under HUD's Section Eight Management Assessment Program (SEMAP), reflecting the Housing Authority's continued efforts to maintain strong program administration and compliance with HUD requirements.

During the reporting period, HACBP continued to strengthen program operations, improve internal processes, and maintain effective administration of its housing assistance programs. The Housing Authority continues to monitor program performance and implement operational improvements to ensure eligible households receive safe, decent, and affordable housing assistance.

HACBP also continues to work with HUD to address the financial and funding challenges affecting the HCV Program. The Housing Authority remains committed to maintaining compliance with applicable HUD requirements, preserving available resources, and supporting the continued delivery of housing assistance to eligible households.

As HACBP is not a troubled PHA, no direct technical assistance or intervention was required or provided under HUD's troubled PHA provisions during the reporting period.

CR-35 - Other Actions 91.220(j)-(k); 91.320(i)-(j)

Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i)

A barrier to affordable housing often stems from public policies or non-governmental conditions that limit the development or rehabilitation of such housing. These barriers include land use controls, property taxes, state wage regulations, environmental protections, high land costs, and limited financial resources. For Baldwin Park, the primary barriers identified in the 202 5-2029 Consolidated Plan are housing affordability and insufficient monetary resources, which are interrelated as demand for affordable housing surpasses supply.

To address these issues, the Strategic Plan aim ed to invest HOME funds to develop 10 new affordable rental units and rehabilitate 20 existing units over five years. Although due to rising construction costs the funding was only able to assist with he creation of 6 HOME-Asssisted units through the development of 2 affordable housing sites . In FY 25/26 home repairs were offered to residents with alternative funding through the collaboration with Habitat for Humanity.

In July 2023, the City adopted its 2021 -2029 Housing Element, which assesses and addresses public policies affecting affordable housing, such as land use, tax policies, zoning, building codes, and fees. The City has implemented several strategies to mitigate these barriers:

1. Facilitate Affordable Housing Development : Provide technical assistance, regulatory incentives, and financial resources. Explore inclusionary housing ordinances.

2. Encourage Sector Participation : Offer incentives for both private and public sectors to develop affordable housing, with a focus on vulnerable populations.

3. Partnerships: Collaborate with private developers and nonprofits to meet housing goals.

4. Hotel/Motel Conversions : Pursue opportunities to convert suitable hotels and motels into permanent affordable housing.

5. Diverse Residential Development : Support a range of housing types, from low- density single-family homes to higher-density apartments.

6. Review and Revise Regulations: Periodically assess and update city regulations, fees, and procedures to reduce housing costs.

7. Incentives and Streamlining : Use density bonuses and fee reductions to minimize governmental constraints. Streamline development processes and monitor state and federal legislation.

CAPER 30
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)

8. Coordinate with Stakeholders : Work with lending institutions, developers, and other stakeholders to address constraints and facilitate affordable housing production.

9. Address Zoning and Regulatory Barriers: Remove obstacles to the placement of housing for homeless and special needs populations.

Additional programs within the Housing Element include:

• Preservation of At -Risk Housing : Maintain an inventory of affordable units at risk of conversion and work with property owners to explore preservation options. • Affordable Housing Partnerships : Assist nonprofits in acquiring funding and develop partnerships with banks and other agencies to enhance housing opportunities. • Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers : Support the expansion of vouchers and encourage property owners to participate in the program.
• Adequate Sites: Maintain and track suitable land for residential development and address regional housing needs.
• Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) : Promote ADU development through updated ordinances and incentives.
• Replacement of Units: Ensure replacement of affordable units when developing on sites with past residential use.
• AB 1397 Reuse of Sites : Implement housing overlays to facilitate affordable housing development by right.
• Hotel/Motel Conversions : Continue acquiring and converting hotels and motels into affordable housing.
• Lot Consolidation : Provide assistance for lot consolidation to facilitate larger development sites.
• Zoning Code Update : Update the Zoning Code to offer flexibility in development standards and streamline processes.
• Density Bonuses and Incentives : Revise the Density Bonus Ordinance and provide incentives for affordable housing projects.
• Expedited Review and Permitting : Speed up review and permitting processes for residential projects.
• Supportive and Transitional Housing : Update development codes to comply with supportive housing regulations and prioritize special needs housing in project reviews. • Address Nongovernmental Constraints: Regularly review and revise regulations that may impose nongovernmental constraints.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The City of Baldwin Park strategically leverages its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) entitlement funds by combining them with a variety of other funding sources to maximize their impact. However, the dissolution of redevelopment agencies in California has significantly limited the City’s capacity to pursue new affordable housing opportunities. Prior to its elimination, the State -mandated 20 percent set- aside of redevelopment funds for affordable housi ng served as a critical resource for expanding the supply of units available to low- and moderate-income households. To help address this gap, the City was awarded $1. 4 million in Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds through the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The approved PLHA activities include the development of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), operating support for the City’s tiny homes sites, affordable rental housing development, and local Housing Trust Fund matching contributions.

Despite these challenges, Baldwin Park remains proactive in expanding its affordable housing inventory, which currently includes 603 rental units. The City continues to explore new opportunities to leverage federal funds, including programs such as the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program and HUD’s Section 202 and Section 811 programs for the elderly.

HUD mandates that cities conduct an analysis of assisted housing units at risk of being lost from the affordable housing stock. In Baldwin Park, four federally assisted developments are at risk of potential conversion, with a total of 222 affordable units threatened due to expiring Section 8 contracts and upcoming loan maturity dates. These projects —Clark Terrace, Frazier Park, Ramona Park, and Syracuse Park —are all owned by for -profit companies. City staff is actively evaluating strategies to ensure these developments remain within the Section 8 system, thereby preserving the affordability of these crucial housing units.

Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)

As a means of better protecting children and families against lead poisoning, in 1999, HUD instituted revised lead-based paint regulations focused around the following five activities:

• Notification
• Lead Hazard Evaluation
• Lead Hazard Reduction
• Ongoing Maintenance
• Response to Children with Environmental Intervention Blood Lead Level

CAPER 32
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The City implemented HUD Lead Based Paint Regulations, pursuant to Title X, Section 1018, that requires any federal-funded rehabilitation project to address lead hazards. Additionally, where lead-based paint is identified, the City ensures that developers and contractors incorporate safe work practices.

There are 12,570 housing units built before 1980 that may contain lead -based paint. When the City participates in housing rehabilitation programs, identification and abatement of lead are made a requirement of the construction. Finally, in Section 8 programs, an inspection of units includes the status of lead-based paint, and a direction that defective paint surfaces be repaired.

Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)

A primary strategy for reducing poverty in Baldwin Park is to enhance employment opportunities and promote resident self -sufficiency. This involves supporting existing businesses, attracting new economic investment, and creating job opportunities that expa nd local employment options. In FY 2025-26, the City utilized CDBG funds to support a Youth Employment Program, which provided four youth with work experience at City Hall. The City also participated in a youth employment program in collaboration with Next Gen through Goodwill . The program was designed to help young adults build skills and explore careers while gaining on hands experience.

This program provided employment for hundreds of youth with placement in a variety of City departments.

The City also complies with Section 3 of the Housing and Community Development Act for all HUD-funded construction and housing projects. Section 3 regulations require, to the greatest extent feasible, that employment and training opportunities be directed to low- and very low - income residents, thereby fostering local economic development and job placement. All HUD - funded construction projects administered by Subrecipients are required to report on Section 3 compliance.

Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)

As the recipient of CDBG and HOME funds, the City of Baldwin Park’s Housing Division, within the Community Development Department, serves as the lead agency responsible for administering HUD grants. The Division prepares the Consolidated Plan and the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice every five years, develops the Annual Action Plan and CAPER, and completes the full range of federal reporting requirements.

The City collaborates with nonprofit agencies and City departments to ensure CDBG -funded

CAPER 33
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
programs benefit the Baldwin Park community. For example, the Public Works Department identifies infrastructure and public facility needs that can be addressed with CDBG resources, while the Housing Division partners with housing developers and contractors to advance affordable housing development and preservation efforts. Public service activities are carried out by both nonprofit organizations and City departments in alignment with the Strategic Plan goals.

In addition, the City consults with advocacy groups, neighborhood associations, service clubs, and the private sector as part of the Consolidated Plan process. This broad engagement helps guide the City’s five-year strategy and ensures that services are responsive to the needs of low- and moderate -income residents. Community involvement remains a vital component of overcoming service gaps, and the City has utilized public notices, community workshops, stakeholder meetings, its website, and other forms of media to share information and encourage participation in carrying out the Consolidated Plan strategies.

Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)

The City of Baldwin Park continues to strengthen partnerships with local service providers and City departments to address the needs of low- income individuals, families, the homeless, and those with special needs. These collaborations have been critical in bridging service gaps across programs and activities.

To further enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies, the City will maintain regular consultation and invite participation from a wide range of organizations that deliver housing and supportive services to Baldwin Park’s low- and moderate- income residents. Participation in the Tri- City Cohort Partnership —with El Monte and South El Monte—will further these efforts by leveraging shared resources and funding to expand the reach and effectiveness of services.

Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a)

The Housing Rights Center provides free fair housing services to residents throughout Los Angeles and Ventura Counties. Trained housing counselors respond to inquiries regarding landlord-tenant rights and responsibilities, including issues related to secur ity deposits, evictions, repairs, and rent increases. In addition, the Center conducts community education and outreach to increase awareness of fair housing laws.

The City of Baldwin Park’s 2020– 2024 Analysis of Impediments (A.I.) to Fair Housing Choice, prepared in coordination with the Consolidated Plan, identified three continuing impediments to

CAPER 34
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
fair housing:

• Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities – Since 2010, disability -related discrimination has been the leading basis for fair housing complaints in Baldwin Park.

Residents with disabilities frequently encounter barriers when requesting reasonable accommodations or modifications, with those experiencing cognitive disabilities facing the most significant challenges. Through its contract with the Housing Rights Center, the City promotes greater awareness of disability rights by conducting workshops with landlords and housing providers.
• Lending Patterns – Home loan approval rates in Baldwin Park were found to be generally higher for Asian and White applicants compared to Hispanic applicants. However, approval rates increase across all racial and ethnic groups as applicant income rises. Th e A.I. recommends continued monitoring of Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data to ensure that racial and ethnic minority applicants are not experiencing disproportionately lower loan approval rates.
• Lack of Awareness of Fair Housing Laws – A general lack of understanding of tenant and landlord rights and responsibilities continues to serve as a barrier to fair housing choice.

Data show that when the City’s fair housing service provider offers neutral, clarifying information, approximately 75 percent of cases are successfully resolved through conciliation.

In FY 202 5–26, the Housing Rights Center provided free fair housing services to Baldwin Park residents. All recipients of services were low- to moderate-income, with 92 percent identified as very low-income. More than 87 percent of service recipients were Hispanic.

Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements

To ensure the efficient and compliant use of CDBG and HOME funds, the City of Baldwin Park implemented several measures throughout the 202 5-26 program year. At the start of the year, the City provided assistance to all subrecipients, helping them understand and adhere to applicable regulations and reporting requirements. This proactive approach aimed to equip subrecipients with the knowledge and tools necessary to manage their grants effectively.

Throughout the year, the City maintained a rigorous oversight process. This involved a detailed examination of subrecipients' invoices and performance reports to verify that expenditures were appropriate and that program outcomes were being met. By continuously reviewing these documents, the City was able to ensure that funds were being used as intended and that any discrepancies or issues were addressed promptly.

In May 2026, the City conducted a formal monitoring review of its CDBG -funded public service programs. This comprehensive evaluation assessed compliance with HUD regulations as well as the specific terms of each subrecipient agreement. The review determined that most subrecipients were in full compliance; however, the Church of the Redeemer Food Bank was found to be non-compliant with certain requirements.

For HOME funded activities, annual monitoring is undertaken to ensure that for renter occupied units, household income, rents and utility allowances are in compliance with applicable limits pursuant to the affordability covenant. For ownership units, annua l monitoring of occupancy is conducted throughout the affordability period.

During the FY 2025–26 program year, the City of Baldwin Park processed one amendment to its Annual Action Plan.

The first, a substantial amendment, was submitted on November 19, 2025, to cancel the Morgan Park Playground Improvement and Residential Street Rehabilitation program and reallocate $1,060,000 to the Streets, Sidewalks, and Curb Cut Improvement Project.

The City continues to face challenges related to staff shortages and turnover within the Housing Division, which directly affected the implementation of key programs. These staffing constraints delayed progress on residential rehabilitation activities and the proposed homeownership program in partnership with Habitat for Humanity, both of which were identified in the 2022–23 Annual Action Plan. These ongoing recruitment and retention difficulties are further exacerbated by rising operational and administrative demands, which stretch existing resources thin and limit the division's capacity to absorb the management of additional programs without risking further implementation delays.

Indicate which of these were inspected and a summary of issues that were detected during the inspection. For those that were not inspected, please indicate the reason and how you will remedy the situation.

In FY 2025-26, the City of Baldwin Park placed a strong emphasis on ensuring the compliance of HOME-assisted affordable rental housing with housing codes and regulations. This effort is crucial for maintaining the quality and sustainability of affordable housing in the community.

The City conducted inspections of 20 HOME-assisted projects throughout the fiscal year. Each property was evaluated to ensure adherence to housing codes and other applicable regulations.

When deficiencies were identified, the property owners and managers were promptly notified and required to address the issues. The City staff conducted follow -up inspections to verify that necessary repairs and corrections were completed satisfactorily.

Here are specific examples of inspected properties:

• TELACU Senior Court, 14442 Pacific Avenue: This project, consisting of 8 units, was found to be in compliance with all applicable regulations.

• Metro Village Apartments, 14428 E. Ramona Blvd: The 11 units in this project were inspected and were in compliance with regulations.

• ROP Bresee Property, 4500 Bresee Ave: This single -family unit was reviewed and found to be in compliance.

By systematically monitoring these properties and ensuring that any issues are addressed, Baldwin Park reinforces its commitment to maintaining high standards for its affordable rental housing, thus supporting the continued availability of quality housing options for its residents.

In FY 2021-22, the City of Baldwin Park certified the San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity as a local Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO), marking the beginning of a collaboration on a future affordable housing project. The City provided a $1.4 million loan (non- HOME funds) to Habitat for the acquisition of the Torch Property at 12769 -12779 Torch Street, Baldwin Park. Work is currently underway with Habitat to design a medium- density affordable housing development for this site.

Additionally, the City received three proposals for affordable housing development, which were given initial approval by the City Council in the 2022-23 Annual Action Plan. These projects include:

• Homeownership Project with Habitat for Humanity : This project, involving $285,000 in federal HOME funds, is planned for sites yet to be determined. However, the project is currently on hold due to current sales price.

• Cesar Chavez Foundation Project: The site, approximately 1 acre in size, includes 51 units, consisting of 15 one-bedroom, 15 two-bedroom, 15 three-bedroom , 5 four-bedroom and one managers unit. The project was supported by $500,000 in federal HOME funds from Baldwin Park and 4% Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC). The project also received $231,885 in PLHA funds. Three of these units are designated HOME-restricted.

Construction was completed on October 2 2025.

• Retirement Housing Foundation (RHF) Senior Housing Project: This multi- site senior housing development, located at the corner of Downing Avenue and Central Street, Baldwin Park, will include 54 age-restricted units, one manager’s unit, ample parking, and numerous amenities designed for seniors.

STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Manuel Carrillo Jr, Chief Executive Officer
PREPARED BY: Diana Sanapanya, Human Resources Analyst II DATE: September 16, 2026

SUBJECT: Consideration of First Amendment to Chief of Police Employment Agreement - Robert A. Lopez

SUMMARY:

The purpose of this staff report is to authorize an amendment to the Chief of Police Employment Agreement and approve an increase to the Chief of Police’s annual compensation.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Approve the First Amendment to the Chief of Police Employment Agreement; and

2. Authorize the Director of Finance to make the appropriation and necessary budget adjustments.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The current base salary for the Chief of Police is $23,043.12 monthly or $276,517.44 annually (Step 3). Approval of the First Amendment will increase the annual salary by $28,343.04, which equates to $25,405.04 monthly or $304,860.48 annually (Step 5), effective July 1, 2026.

BACKGROUND:

SB 1486 (2016) requires the City Council/City to orally report a summary of a recommendation for a final action on the salaries, salary schedules, or compensation paid in the form of fringe benefits of a local agency executive during the open meeting in which the final action is to be taken. Thus, we will be providing a brief staff report summarizing the terms prior to taking action.

On February 17, 2021, the City entered into an Employment Agreement with Robert A. Lopez to serve as Chief of Police. The Employment Agreement memorialized the terms and conditions of his employment and set his base salary at $16,690.82 monthly or $200,289.88 annually. The salary corresponded to Step 1 of the City’s Salary Schedule. Please note, City Council approved Salary Schedules effective July 1, 2025 and July 1, 2026 respectively, for City employees, which are reflected in Chief Lopez’s current salary.

The City Council recently completed a performance evaluation of the Chief of Police’s performance. As part of that evaluation, the City Council approved the following action:

The attached First Amendment would amend the Chief’s annual salary by increasing the amount by $28,343.04 annually, which equates to $25,405.04 monthly or $304,860.48 annually. This new annual salary corresponds to Step 5 of the City’s Salary Schedule. No other changes to the Employment Agreement are proposed.

DISCUSSION:

None

ALTERNATIVES:
