STAFF REPORT
Date: January 20, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Christopher R. Lopez, City Manager/Executive Director By: Richard Iglesias, City Clerk
Subject: Consideration to Review and Approve the Draft Minutes of January 13, 2026, for the Special Meeting of the City Council and the Joint Meeting of the City of Cudahy as Successor Agency and Housing Successor Agency to the Cudahy Development Commission

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to review and approve the City Council / Successor Agency Draft Minutes for January 13, 2026.

BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS
On December 12, 2016, the City Council of the City of Cudahy adopted Resolution No. 16-38, approving the use of summary action minutes, meant to allow the City Clerk's Office to write the minutes in brief, assuring a record of Council's actions, due to having a recording of the full Council Meeting on the City’s website.

Historically
The Municipal Clerk is one of the oldest professions in government, dating back to 1272 A.D., originating in England. The record keeper then was called Remembrancer, an English official whose job was to remind the Lord Treasurer and Barons of Court, of business pending.

Years later, in the 1600s, when early colonists came to America, the office of the Clerk was one of the first offices to be established. Over the years, the City Clerk’s office has become the core for local government, and the liaison to the residents of the Community. The Municipal Item Number
12A

“Serving the People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"

Clerk (City Clerk) is the record keeper of a City’s recorded history.

William Bennett Munro, a Canadian historian, and political scientist, who taught at Harvard University and the California Institute of Technology, stated in one of his first textbooks written: “No other office in municipal service has so many contacts. It serves the Mayor, the City Council, the City Manager (when there is one), and all administrative departments, without exception. All of them call upon it, almost daily, for some service or information. Its work is not spectacular, but it demands versatility, alertness, accuracy, and no end of patience.

The public does not realize how many loose ends of city administration this office pulls together.”
Moving forward to the present time, the City Clerk’s office today is generally responsible for keeping a record of City Council meetings; agreements; recordings of official documents; legal advertisements; municipal elections; commissions and committees current files; claims against the city; and other legal or official documents.

City Clerks are required to keep record of the proceedings (minutes) of Council meetings (Government Code Sections 36814 and 40801). Minutes are the official record of a meeting which provides a history of the Council’s decisions and actions.

CONCLUSION
The City Council is requested to approve the attached City Council / Agency Draft Minutes of the proceedings of January 13, 2026.

STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION
No correlation to the strategic plan.

STAFF REPORT
Date: January 20, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Christopher R. Lopez, City Manager/Executive Director By: Charles Ortiz, Senior Accountant
Subject: Approval of the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) for the Month of December 2025

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to approve the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) Report for the month of December 2025 in the amount of $5,636,375.50.

BACKGROUND

1. In 1955, the Pooled Money Investment Account (PMIA) started. LAIF became part of the PMIA. The oversight is provided by the Pooled Money Investment Board (PMIB) and an inhouse Investment Committee. The PMIB members consist of the State Treasurer, Director of Finance, and State Controller.

2. In 1977, LAIF was created as a voluntary program by Section 16429.1 et seq. of the California Government Code. The program was intended to be used as an investment alternative for California's local governments and special districts. The LAIF continues today under State Treasurer, Fiona Ma's administration.

3. On December 1, 2025, the balance in LAIF was $6,636,375.50 (See Attachment).

4. On December 31, 2025, the balance in LAIF was $5,636,375.50 (See Attachment).

ANALYSIS
The voluntary program offers local agencies the opportunity to participate in a major portfolio, which invests hundreds of millions of dollars, using the investment expertise of the State Item Number
12B

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report

Treasurer’s Office investment staff at no additional cost to the taxpayer.

All securities are purchased under the authority of Government Code Section 16430 and 16480.4. The State Treasurer's Office takes delivery of all securities purchased on a delivery versus payment basis using a third-party custodian.

Cudahy Municipal Code Section 3.04.080 indicates, "Except as otherwise provided, no warrant shall be drawn or evidence of indebtedness issued unless there shall be at the time sufficient money in the treasury legally applicable to the payment of the same."

CONCLUSION
Once the City Council approves the current LAIF, this balance may be relied upon when determining if the City has sufficient funds available to pay demands and payroll as required by Cudahy Municipal Code Section 3.04.080.

Strategy #2. Provide regular updates to the City Council and community about the city’s finances.

STAFF REPORT
Date: January 20, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Christopher R. Lopez, City Manager/Executive Director By: Cecilia Madrigal-Gonzalez, Senior Planner
Subject: A Public Hearing to Consider and Approve a Resolution of the City of Cudahy Approving the Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) Programs and Funding for Fiscal Year 2026-2027

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to take the following action(s):

1. Open the public hearing, receive testimony and presentation of the proposed programs; and

3. Adopt either:
a. Proposed Resolution No. 26-01 (Attachment A) authorizing the allocation of CDBG funds for FY 2026-27 from the Los Angeles County Development Authority (“LACDA”) for the following activities and projects: Owner Occupied Housing Rehabilitation, Code Enforcement, Business Assistance, and City Facilities ADA Improvements; or
b. Proposed Resolution No. 26-02 (Attachment B) authorizing the allocation of CDBG funds for FY 2026-27 from LACDA for the following activities and projects:

Owner Occupied Housing Rehabilitation, Code Enforcement, Business Assistance, and Clara Park Basketball Facility Improvements; and

4. Authorize the City Manager to execute all new contracts and agreements with LACDA Item Number
13A

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
01/20/2026 Page 2 of 6

for the unallocated funds and allocation of FY 2026-2027 CDBG Program, subject to adjustment to reflect the actual allocation of funds to the City of Cudahy.

BACKGROUND
The City of Cudahy (“City”) receives federal CDBG funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) as administered by LACDA. The funds must be used to meet national objectives to develop viable communities and to serve low- and moderate-income populations. Use of these funds also requires compliance with statutory requirements including financial, environmental review, procurement, construction, eligibility, reporting, and citizen participation. LACDA requires that all planning and budgeting documents for the Fiscal Year (“FY”) 26-27 CDBG program year be submitted by no later than February 2, 2026. The submittals include City Council approval of the planning and budget documents, evidenced by a signed resolution and proof of public participation and noticing of a public hearing.

LACDA has advised the City that for FY 26-27, it should be expected to receive approximately $274,278 in CDBG funding, which reflects a 10% decrease from FY 25-26. Additionally, approximately $288,168 in previously unspent, unallocated CDBG funds are available for reprogramming into CDBG FY 26-27. The City’s proposed CDBG allocation is a planning estimate only, and the final allocation amounts will be transmitted once made available by HUD.

New Mandatory Compliance with Executive Order
In July 2025 and October 20, 2025, LACDA issued CDD Bulletin Nos. 25-0012 and 25-0020, informing participating cities of compliance with Executive Order No. 14218 relating to the verification of the lawful status of recipients of CDBG programs. CDBG-funded activities that provide direct benefit to households and individuals, including but not limited to housing rehabilitation and public services, require cities to verify the legal status of those receiving the services. Initially, the guidance was still being developed to comply with the Executive Order, and in November 2025, LACDA confirmed that a Citizenship Declaration Form with supporting evidence must be kept on file and made available upon request.

On December 18, 2025, the City issued a notice to cancel the Youth Crime Prevention Services Program (Project No. 602750-25) due to the documentation requirements of the Executive Order. This program would have implemented an intervention program targeting at-risk youth with a funding allocation of $23,671.

ANALYSIS
The primary objectives of the CDBG program are to develop urban communities by supporting activities that create or enhance the following focus areas:

1. Decent housing; and

Page 32 of 74 ends

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
01/20/2026 Page 3 of 6

2. A suitable living environment; and

3. Economic opportunities.

The HUD regulations require all CDBG-funded activities to meet one of the three national objectives:

1. Benefit low-and very-low-income persons; or

2. Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; or

3. Meet other community development needs having urgency or posing a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community.

The CDBG program requires that a minimum of seventy percent (70%) of the program funds be spent on activities that benefit low and moderate‐income persons. CDBG offers grant recipients a high level of flexibility in choosing program activities. Cities are free to select those activities that best meet the needs of their communities, in accordance with the national objectives and other requirements of the CDBG Program. The general rule is that any activity not specifically authorized under the CDBG regulations and statute is ineligible to be assisted with CDBG funds.

TABLE 1 – ELIGIBLE AND INELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES FOR FUNDING Eligible Ineligible
• Land acquisition and disposition; and
• Development of, and improvements to,
public facilities; and
• Street and other infrastructure
improvements; and
• Demolition and clearance of property
improvements; and
• Code Enforcement; and
• Relocation assistance; and
• Public service activities such as health
care, childcare, crime prevention; and
• Housing and commercial rehabilitation;
and
• Economic development activities; and
• Program administration.
• Construction of city halls, county
administrative buildings, or other
facilities in which the legislative, judicial,
or general administrative affairs of the
government are conducted; and
• Purchase of equipment, unless otherwise
required for program purposes; and
• Operating and maintenance expenses;
and
• General government expenses; and
• Political activities.

EVALUATION OF PAST PROGRAM & FUNDING AVAILABILITY
Currently, the City’s CDBG Unallocated Funds balance is $264,497 and will increase to $288,168 due to the cancellation of the Youth Crime Prevention program. The Unallocated balance is higher than in previous years due to the First-Time Home Buyer Program from FY 25, which did not render any grant awards. This year, City staff is not recommending funding public service

Page 33 of 74 ends

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
01/20/2026 Page 4 of 6

programs such as youth recreation and food distribution due to the concerns of record keeping and verifying legal status for certain groups i.e. youth. Instead, City staff have focused on funding a public facilities and improvement project and continuing programs from CDBG FY 25-

26. PROPOSED FY 2026-2027 PROJECTS AND FUNDING ALLOCATION City staff recommend 2026-2027 CDBG funding for two housing and neighborhood improvement projects, one economic development project, and one public facilities and improvement project. The following is the proposed list of CDBG Program activities and funding recommendations:

No Projects/Programs -
TOTAL $562,446
*Includes CDBG Program Management and Administration Costs Housing and Neighborhood Improvement Projects
Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program: This continuing program offers grants used for eligible rehabilitation work based on the order of priority: 1) Correction of health and safety deficiencies; 2) Correction of code violations; 3) Repairs and alterations for supportive disabled occupants; 4) Repairs and alterations of energy efficiency; 5) Other eligible general rehabilitation work. This program is in conjunction with the Code Enforcement Program. Grants are provided based on the income eligibility of each applicant, i.e., those households earning 80% or less of median income. Approximately two housing rehabilitation projects are anticipated to be completed, with a maximum grant amount for single-family residences at $25,000, a multi-family unit at $30,000, and mobile homes at $15,000. The City contracted with Avant-Garde in 2025 to perform Housing Rehabilitation administration services. The Agreement will expire on June 30, 2026. Staff is requesting that the City Council approve the release of a Request for Proposal in Spring 2026 to solicit proposals from qualified firms to

Page 34 of 74 ends

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
01/20/2026 Page 5 of 6

provide Housing Rehabilitation administration services.

Code Enforcement Program: This continuing program assists in addressing the decline of residential and neighborhood commercial businesses that have been deemed deteriorating or deteriorated. These residential and neighborhood commercial businesses are in the following designated areas: Census Tracts 5338.06, 5343.01, 5343.02, 5344.03, 5344.04, 5344.05, and 5344.06. The most common violations that will be addressed through this CDBG‐funded activity are prohibited conditions, unsightliness, and building code violations. This will continue to partially fund the salary and benefits of three full-time Community Preservation Officers and one full-time Community Preservation Manager. This program works in conjunction with the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program.

Economic Development Projects
Business Assistance Program: This continuing program assists existing/potential new business owners in retaining, expanding, or opening a business in the City of Cudahy. The program assists business owners with completing applications for permits, zoning clearances, and business licenses, and provides technical assistance through one‐to‐one consultations/training to address the needs of the City's business community. Some topics include, but are not limited to, business expansion plans, how to market your business, how to obtain a business loan, and how to strengthen your business. These services are provided to the business community by city staff. This program covers the partial salary and benefits of two full-time employees, an Associate Planner and an Accounting Technician.

Public Facilities and Improvements Projects:

Only one of the following two options can be funded for FY 26-27. (Option 1) City Facilities ADA Improvements Project: This new project would be a continuation of the ADA Door Installation Project (Project No. 602661-23), initially funded in 2024. This project would provide for the removal of access barriers for elderly, mobility-impaired, wheelchair users, and disabled adults through the design and construction of ramps and other auxiliary features, and the installation of automatic entrance doors to Bedwell Hall. (Option 2) Clara Park Basketball Facility Improvements Project: This new project would rehabilitate the indoor basketball court at Clara Park. Rehabilitation includes the replacement of basketball flooring and ADA compliance improvements.

CDBG Program Administration
Participating cities in the LACDA’s Urban County CDBG Program may charge up to 20% administrative costs on a per-project basis to annually implement the CDBG Program.

Administrative costs provide reimbursement for the time spent administering the overall CDBG program, including reporting requirements, preparation of Memoranda of Understanding, subrecipient agreements, LACDA contracts, reviews of federal required documentation, CDBG

Page 35 of 74 ends

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
01/20/2026 Page 6 of 6

program monitoring, and general CDBG project management. Previously, the City has relied on consulting services to fully administer the CDBG program, however, due to staffing increases the Housing and Planning Divisions administered the CDBG programs in 2025-2026. In 2026- 2027, a portion of the Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation project budget will be allocated to the general CDBG Administration for City staff to use for technical assistance in administering the continuing and new programs. This allocation lowers the General Fund cost associated with the CDBG technical assistance program.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
To comply with HUD regulations as they relate to citizen participation, the public must be given notice and opportunity to comment on the City’s Annual Activity Planning for CDBG funds. The public notice was posted on January 5, 2026, at three public buildings, including City Hall, Lugo Park and Clara Park. The proof of public notice and certification is provided in Attachment C.

As of the publication of this staff report, no public comments have been received.

CONCLUSION
City staff recommendsthe City Council Adopt either Resolution No. 26-01 or Resolution No. 26- 02 approving the CDBG programs and budget for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.

STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION
Goal B, Strategy #3. Pursue grant opportunities as available to help residents with cash assistance or other needs.

Goal C, Strategy #1. Increase the use of residential rehabilitation programs using Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approved CDBG projects will be reflected in the 2026-2027 City budget adoption process. The recommended amount is based on preliminary planning figures. City staff will make minor adjustments to reflect the final grant allocation awarded to the City, subject to the approval of the City Manager.

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is recommended to appoint a Delegate and Alternate to the Southeast Gateway Line Corridor Cities Committee.

BACKGROUND

1. On September 13, 2023, at a Regular Meeting, the Eco-Rapid Transit (“ERT”), formally known as the Orangeline Development Authority Board of Directors, authorized the ERT Executive Director and ERT General Counsel’s Office to take steps to terminate ERT subject to the final Board approval.

2. On October 3, 2023, the Gateway Cities COG (GCCOG) Board of Directors approved the formation of the Southeast Gateway Line Corridor Cities Committee in place of the ERT, formally known as the Orangeline Development Authority Board.

The GCCOG Board appointed Former Mayor Jose R. Gonzalez to serve on the Southeast Gateway Line Corridor Cities Committee, who also served on the ERT Board.

3. On November 7, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 23-51, authorizing Former Mayor Jose R. Gonzalez (the City’s representative to the ERT Board) to vote on the decision-making to terminate the Orangeline Development Authority, dba Eco-Rapid Transit.

4. On February 14, 2024, the Southeast Gateway Line (formerly known as the West Santa Ana Branch) Corridor Cities Committee held its first meeting.

5. On April 16, 2024, the City Council appointed Council Member Martin U. Fuentes to serve Item Number
14A

Page 45 of 74 ends

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report

as an alternate on the Southeast Gateway Line Corridor Cities Committee.

6. On November 5, 2025, the City held its General Municipal Election, ending Former Mayor Jose R. Gonzalez’s term as Council Member and his appointment on the Southeast Gateway Line Corridor Cities Committee.

7. On January 21, 2025, the City Council appointed Council Member Fuentes as Delegate and Vice Mayor Lomelí as Alternate to the Southeast Gateway Line Corridor Cities Committee.

ANALYSIS
Prior to the dissolution of Eco-Rapid Transit (“ERT”), formerly known as Orangeline Development Authority, Former Mayor Jose R. Gonzalez served as a delegate board member, and Vice Mayor Elizabeth Alcantar served as an alternate board member.

Since the ERT has been dissolved, the Southeast Gateway Line (formerly known as the West Santa Ana Branch) Corridor Cities Committee has been established, and the GCCOG Board appointed individuals from GCCOG member agencies.

Committee Board Members are paid $100 for each meeting. Meetings are held on the Second Wednesday of each month, beginning at 6:00 p.m.

CONCLUSION
The City Council is to consider either retaining the current delegate and alternate of the Southeast Gateway Line Corridor Cities Committee or appointing a new delegate and an alternate to the committee.

STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION
The Committee Project supports the following strategies identified in the City’s Strategic Plan as adopted by the City Council.

Goal F

1. Develop the Cudahy brand.

2. Create a sense of place and establish the community’s identity.

Southeast Gateway Line CCC Agenda of February 14, 2024
DATE: February 9, 2024
TO: Southeast Gateway Line Corridor Cities Committee
FROM: Hector De La Torre, Executive Director
BY: Marisa Perez, Executive Deputy to Metro Board Director Fernando Dutra SUBJECT: Southeast Gateway Line (formerly known as the West Santa Ana Branch) Corridor Cities Committee Plan and Next Steps
Background
On October 3, 2023, the Gateway Cities COG (GCCOG) Board of Directors approved the formation of the Southeast Gateway Line Corridor Cities Committee. In addition, the COG Board:
• Approved transfer of $130,000 of budgetary allocation by Metro from the ERT JPA to the Gateway Cities COG for the former West Santa Ana Branch (WSAB) renaming project.
• Authorized the Executive Director to continue negotiations with Caltrans and Metro regarding the Caltrans Grant for the Community Corridor Transportation Platform. • Authorized the Executive Director and GCCOG staff to manage grants and membership dues budget as it relates to the WSAB Corridor Cities Committee activities.

In addition, the GCCOG Board approved the staffing and funding plan in two phases as follows:

PHASE 1: January 1, 2024 - June 30, 2024
Southeast Gateway Line Corridor Cities Committee Expenses will be Supported by the GCCOG
 Consistent with the GCCOG’s Joint Powers Authority Agreement and Bylaws, the GCCOG Board created the Southeast Gateway Line Corridor Cities Committee.

The GCCOG Board appointed members to this committee, in consultation with the GCCOG member from the respective city/jurisdiction. Committee members can be representatives to the Board and non-representatives to the Board. Members have been appointed for one-year terms (conclude October 2024).

 Meetings: GCCOG will staff two meetings from 6-7:30 pm, according to the Ralph M. Brown Act; one in January 2024 (delayed to February 2024) and April 2024.

There will be no meeting stipends for members. This will help minimize costs and staffing.

Page 49 of 74 ends

Southeast Gateway Line CCC Agenda of February 14, 2024
 Expenses: Approximately $23,000 in expenses for GCCOG Executive Director, professional and administrative staff support, supplies, and counsel (if needed) will be used to support this committee.

PHASE 2: July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2025
 Meetings: GCCOG will staff bi-monthly meetings from 6-7:30 pm in-person, according to the Ralph M. Brown Act.
 Membership Fees: Each committee member will be required to pay an annual membership fee between $10,000 to $17,000 each year, starting July 1, 2024.

See below for greater discussion. All members will pay the same fee.  This proposal assumes 100% participation and future membership fees will be collected from the former ERT JPA members: Artesia, Cerritos, Paramount, South Gate, Cudahy, Bell, Bell Gardens, Maywood, Huntington Park, and LA County (Supervisor Janice Hahn’s Office). Fees will not be collected from any other GCCOG member to support this committee, unless the GCCOG member requests participation.
 Expenses: Each member’s fees will cover the following GCCOG expenses:
• Executive Director, professional and administrative staff support for all meetings and advocacy trips.
• $100 meeting stipends: capped at $700 per committee member per year. • Member travel expenses: Event support and travel expenses for one (1) advocacy trip to Sacramento and one (1) advocacy trip to Washington DC.

Each member will be reimbursed up to $2,600 for travel expenses each fiscal year. Expenses above this amount will be covered by the member’s cities/jurisdictions. Tentative plans are to send a delegation to Sacramento before/after the Governor’s May revise and to Washington DC in September 2024, in support of the FTA’s expected Record of Decision (ROD). • Local match required for Caltrans grant: The Eco Rapid Transit (ERT) JPA received a Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant award for the Community Corridor Transportation Platform ($504,000). Since October 2023, GCCOG staff has been working with Caltrans to modify the grant and transfer the funds to the GCCOG.
