Ordinance was established to allow leashed dogs at Veterans Park, Salt Lake Park, and Keller Park. Firework stands are selling safe and sane fireworks one week prior to the 4th of July Celebration. If you are aware of illegal fireworks please report to police. Parking study was made, and we’ll provide findings and recommendations at some point in July at one of the Council Meetings. City will be launching program to federal immigration enforcement. Has lived in the south east for the last 35 years. Has lived in South Gate, Lynwood, currently in Downey, has lived in Bell Gardens.

Sanabria: requested more information regarding barricades being used.
Chief of Police: suggests tolerance and patience for issues occurring. Unlawful products being used in the city. Safe and Sane fireworks don’t leave the ground. We are initiating a hotline number provided to the community to come in. Citation does have a $5000 dollar fine. The city does close streets to manage temporary situation; however, those grounded barricades are not used by HPPD.

SPECIAL AGENDA
CITY MANAGER
2. FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 2025-06 ESTABLISHING PROCEDURES
FOR MUNICIPAL INTERACTIONS WITH FEDERAL AGENCIES RELATED TO
IMMIGRAITON ENFORCEMENT
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT CITY COUNCIL:
1. Review and discuss the proposed Ordinance No. 2025-06.
MOTION: Councilmember Sanabria thanked members of the community who came out and supported this. He really thinks we should move forward and approve this. Budget Plan are outlining more dollars for Ice and Border Patrol. It adds 18,000 Ice and Border Patrols agents. We as a city need to stand up and not go along with what the federal administration is doing. It isn’t what they’re promising to do, they are targeting ordinary citizens not criminals. The reality is that people leave their countries because they had to for their kids, for their own well-being. Children should not be targeted. My parents got fixed with the Reagan amnesty.
The Chief of Police will respond on the case that the individual is a valid ICE Agent. If they are valid, we can’t stop them from processing. Vice Mayor Martinez asked more details regarding the kidnapping.
Councilmember Macias can call 911 and ensure validation is real. She has reached out to various organizations to provide support for individuals. She doesn’t know what country she lives in anymore, that was what Governor Hochul stated. It angers her that this community must live in such despair. Same situation as the COVID pandemic except now we don’t have resources to help out our community.
Ordinance is a great step. Councilmember Martiz thanked everyone for coming out and providing public comments. Agrees with everything that was stated. This is a federal issue, and I look forwards to collaborating with organizations to provide resources to the community for impacted families. This ordinance tells the community we are with you, and we see you. Mayor Flores stated these are constitutional violations. When something like this happens remain calm but film everything. Justice is delayed, somebody will enter the white house and they will have a very different view of this incident. Just following orders is not an excuse that will fly. Once a warrant is provided, we have to allow them to come in, we won’t collaborate with them. Councilmember Sanabria stated we should pass this ordinance and then have police create a presentation of scenarios. SB54 passed in 2017, and when into effect in 2018.
Councilmember Sanabria motioned to approve Ordinance No. 2025-06.
Mayor Flores added a friendly amendment to the ordinance to be renamed Huntington Park Sanctuary City Ordinance. Councilmember Sanabria accepted the friendly amendment. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Martiz. The motion was carried by unanimous consent.
AYES: Council Member(s): Macias, Martiz, Sanabria, Vice Mayor Martinez, and Mayor Flores
NOES: Council Member(s): NA
3. CONSIDERATION AND ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION CONDEMNING
NON-TRANSPARENT FEDERAL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT TACTICS
AND AFFIRMING COMMUNITY SAFETY PRINCIPLES
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT CITY COUNCIL:
1. Adopt a Resolution which condemns aggressive and non‑transparent federal immigration enforcement tactics, reaffirms constitutional and community safety principles, and directs proactive local response measures.
2. Direct the City Manager and City Attorney to implement the measures outlined in the resolution and provide regular updates on enforcement activity and community impact.
3. Direct City staff to forward a copy of the signed resolution to the City’s Congressional representative and both U.S. Senators to advocate for transparency, accountability, and community protection in federal enforcement practices.
MOTION: Mayor Flores stated we have had individuals kidnapping individuals on our community. They are not identifying themselves. It is very easy to buy a tactical vest, and a weapon. Once an agent is identifies there isn’t much HPPD can do. However, at least this way we are aware of who is in our city. This campaign will be the largest immigration deportation campaign that has ever occurred. There are numerous amount of organizations that are unlawfully operating in our city breaking all these local laws. They have no regard for laws, public safety, respect for public or private property. The goal here is to draw the line somewhere.
We cannot as a local police department. At some point someone has to step up and see credentials. Councilmember Sanabria stated that Most individuals being detained by ICE are being detained because they are brown. We have also seen them stop people, attack them then once they provide identification they are just let go. We are supposed to be a country of law and order and right now we are a country of disorder.
Councilmember Martiz is stating how concerning it is without due process. Racial profiling is happening in our community. It’s hard to see her nieces of nephews. We should be demanding transparency and is in full support of the law. She remembers when same sex marriage was on the ballot. It was also then that people from other states coming in and telling people how they should vote. She is proud of community, council, and neighbors for their work towards civil rights. Mayor made message very clear, men and women of HPPD are here to serve the community. They are not ICE; he knows that has this continues frustrations will continue. They are part of our community; a lot have family who live in this community. Councilmember Sanabria motioned to Adopt a Resolution which condemns aggressive and non-transparent federal immigration enforcement tactics, reaffirms constitutional and community safety principles, and directs proactive local response measures; The motion was seconded by Councilmember Martinez.
The motion was carried by unanimous consent.
AYES: Council Member(s): Macias, Martiz, Sanabria, Vice Mayor Martinez, and Mayor Flores
NOES: Council Member(s): NA
The council took a recess at 7:38pm for audience to clear out.
The council returned to order at 7:52pm.
Councilmember Sanabria motioned to make an amendment that we put an ITEM #4 for special agenda. Consideration for City Council for committee reassignment. After the Public Hearing Items. The motion was carried by unanimous consent.
AYES: Council Member(s): Macias, Martiz, Sanabria, Vice Mayor Martinez, and Mayor Flores
FINANCE
1. CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF RESOLUTIONS ADOPTING THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON PARK’S FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 OPERATING BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING JULY 1, 2025, AND ENDING JUNE 30, 2026 IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT CITY COUNCIL:
1. A Resolution adopting a Budget for the Fiscal Year Commencing July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2026, Making Appropriations for the Conduct of City of Huntington Park Government, Establishing Policies for the Administration of the Adopted Budget, and for other Budget Related Purposes
MOTION: [Continuation Item from June 16, 2025 regular City Council Meeting. We left off on the Parks and Recreation budget]. Councilmember Sanabria asked that some of the budget be brought down, items like the Holiday Parade. Youth Sports Supplies is also high because we have to redo the gymnasium floors every year. Supply money is used for equipment that we have to replace. For example, the Chalking, the soccer nets, and basketballs. All are items are regularly replaced. Finance director stated the Two-month delay for revenues. Mayor Flores wants to make a comment for salary and benefits. He want to provide parks and rec staff with decent living wages. Especially the full times. Issues with Part Timers, he wants to consider the increases. Non-Representatives staff doesn’t have individuals advocating for them. Councilmember Macias is opposed to the budget cuts for the Parks and Recreation Department because they do provide emergency food distribution and other social services that can be essential in cases of emergency. Councilmember Sanabria just wants us to serve more people in the community. Vice Mayor Martinez wants to recognize all the work that Parks and Recreation does despite their limited resources. Money allocated for commission is for stipends. Commission programming was set aside for about 35,000 dollars divided among all the commissions to develop programs. Day of the Dead event was removed. Martiz stated that she believes that we shouldn’t discourage community events to reallocate funding. The Police Department presented their presentation. Mayor Flores asked about Youth in PD program. It was dwindled during Covid; however, these explorers transfer as cadets, then become PSOs and Police Officers. 80% become HPPD Officers. A lot are local people.
Increase in Salary is because of the renegotiations that occurred. The Chief stated that a good percentage of OT is special events driven.
Such as the parade, 5K, etc. Grants are going away because they are having a sunset period. Professional Development has decreased in PD department because we are already providing the best training, and a lot of funded by state funds and grants so it isn’t part of the general fund.
Fleet maintenance dropped from 416K to 85K because fleet maintenance expense swapped from PD to Public Works. We are not refunded if we help other organizations due to the Mutual Aid Agreements with our neighboring cities. We are in MOU with the counties. Mutual Aid Agreements go both ways because a team of 60 patrolling 24 hours, 7 days a week. Certain cases are reimbursable, but most are not. There is some funding in this budget to swap old cars for a more modern fleet. Mayor Flores wanted the young officers to have some sort of financial literacy courses offered to them, especially right now. Martiz wants to know about the animal enforcement program and how it can be most effective and beneficial to the community. How much money are we spending on animal enforcement. PD Chief stated that they provide services and educational resources for individuals. Mayor wants to know about security for the restrooms. Public Works provided their budget. Vice Mayor Martinez stated that we need to fix lights at parks, and cross walk. Pacific Boulevard could also use more street maintenance. Is it possible to have this in the upcoming year. City Manager stated we do have a good amount of funding for pacific for security, parking, and waste management. New Landscaping PSA will assist with the Vice Mayor’s concerns. Part of the contact with SLA will be cleaning Pacific Boulevard at 3 in the morning, allocation to the creation of parking, and pressure washing bus stations. Will be hiring staff for weekend operations. Public Works director doesn’t want to replace damages at Chelsea Park, instead he would want to replace them. Mayor stated he still wants to fix it to show community that the city does care. Councilmember Sanabria and Mayor Flores brought up concerns regarding Dial A Ride. It’s incredibly expensive, we own everything, and the bus drivers are not being paid nearly what we pay for the services. This cost is nearly criminal what we are paying.
Councilmember Macias mentioned her concerns regarding the liability, infrastructure, and capacity that we don’t have removing this program.
However, she believes it is a good opportunity to explore.
Councilmember Sanabria says that it costs 45-90 per person per ride.
He also has concerns for people connected to DES. The person in charge of the Dial-A-Ride program is the same individual connected to the DA investigation. Mayor Flores states that we should look into the program if individuals connected are involved. Dial-A-Ride you cannot reduce amount. Non-Departmental Budget was then explained.
Councilmember Martiz mentioned flexibility and budget to join an SELA mutual fund for class action lawsuit against the constitutional violations occurring at the moment. @11:25pm Vice Mayor Martinez left for an early flight the next morning. Mayor Flores voiced a couple concerns regarding CIP funding. Cyber Security concerns. Mayor requested that the council chamber remodel the project be placed on hold while we find funds. New Job positions presentation was presented afterwards.
Councilmember Sanabria motioned to adopt the 2025-2026 Fiscal Year Budget with all the express recommendations from City Council. And get a report by the next meeting. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Martiz. The motion was carried by majority consent.

Office of the City Manager
City Council Agenda Report
July 7, 2025
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Huntington Park
6550 Miles Avenue
Huntington Park, CA 90255
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:
SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 2025-06 ESTABLISHING PROCEDURES
FOR MUNICIPAL INTERACTIONS WITH FEDERAL AGENCIES RELATED TO
IMMIGRAITON ENFORCEMENT
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:
Review and discuss the proposed Ordinance No. 2025-06.
PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
The residents of Huntington Park have experienced a surge of federal activity in recent weeks which have negatively impacted the health, safety and well-being of our community. As a result of militant like acts perpetrated by the federal government, members of the Huntington Park City Council have expressed an urgent desire to take action and protect the community from the unconstitutional overreach of the federal government.
Reports have been received of unmarked federal vehicles, with no license plates displayed, roaming the City and snatching people without the presentation of a warrant, identification as federal agents, or any notification as to the justification of their actions.
This in turn has caused great alarm and distress in our community.
Among the different actions being taken by the City of Huntington Park, this ordinance would codify the City’s policy regarding interactions with federal agencies as it relates to immigration enforcement. This ordinance aligns with SB 54, known as the California Values Act, which seeks to protect members of the community from unconstitutional acts being perpetrated by the federal government and limits the situations in which cities can assist or engage with federal agencies on immigration issues.
LEGAL REQUIREMENT
No legal consideration needed.
FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
No fiscal impact.
CONCLUSION
Upon Council approval, staff will proceed with the recommended actions.
Respectfully submitted,
RICARDO REYES
City Manager

Ordinance No. 2025-06
1 ORDINANCE NO. 2025-06
An ordinance adding new Chapter 2-12 of Title 2 of the Huntington Park Municipal Code relating to procedures concerning sensitive information and prohibition of the use of City resources, including property and personnel, in connection with federal immigration enforcement.
THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON PARK
DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
A new Chapter 2-12 of Title 2, entitled Sanctuary Policy of the Huntington Park Municipal Code to read as follows:
CHAPTER 2-12
PROCEDURES CONCERNING SENSITIVE INFORMATION AND PROHIBITION OF
THE USE OF CITY RESOURCES FOR FEDERAL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT ARTICLE 1. COOPERATION
SECTION 1. PURPOSE
The City of Huntington Park has long embraced and welcomed individuals of diverse racial, ethnic, religious, and national backgrounds, including a large immigrant population. The City has long derived its strength and prosperity from its diverse community, and welcomes, honors, and respects the contributions of all its residents, regardless of their immigration status.
The City is home to immigrants and their families, and it is here where they form and maintain bonds of family, friendship, and love. Immigrants and their families in the City contribute to the economic and social fabric of the City by establishing and patronizing businesses, participating in the arts and culture, and achieving significant educational accomplishments.
Through the City’s commitment to the equal, respectful, and dignified treatment of all people, one of the City’s most important objectives is to enhance its relationship with all its residents, including immigrants. The cooperation of the City’s immigrant community members is essential to advancing the City’s mission, vision, and guiding principles, including community safety, support for youth and education, economic development, and financial stability. The City is safest when all people feel they can participate in civic and public life. Fostering a relationship of trust, respect, and open communication between City officials and residents is essential to the City’s mission of delivering efficient public services in partnership with our community, which ensures a prosperous economic environment, opportunities for youth, and a high quality of life for all residents. Accordingly, the City seeks to continue to foster trust between City officials and residents; to encourage cooperation between residents and City officials; and to ensure public safety and due process for all.
In 2018, the California Values Act (SB 54) went into effect. SB 54 prevents state and local law enforcement resources from being commandeered by the federal government and diverted to tear families apart and violate due process rights. In that spirit, the City also refuses to use limited City resources to assist with the detention and deportation of mothers and fathers, children, 2 neighbors, co-workers, and friends—except as required by state and federal law. Instead, the City chooses to stand with our immigrant community members.
Due to the City’s limited resources, the complexity of federal civil immigration laws, the need to promote trust and cooperation from the public, including immigrants, and to attain the City’s objectives, the City Council finds that there is a need to clarify the communication and enforcement relationship between the City and the federal government. The purpose of this ordinance is to establish the City’s procedures concerning sensitive information and enforcement of federal immigration laws. This ordinance establishes safeguards and procedures, to the extent permissible by law, to prohibit any City resources, including property and personnel, from being utilized for any federal immigration enforcement. Further, to the extent permissible by law, the City will not enter into new, amended, or extended contracts or agreements with any person or entity that provides Immigration Authorities with any Data Broker, data-mining, or Extreme Vetting services connected to federal immigration enforcement, unless a waiver is granted.

City of Huntington Park
Statement of Investment Policy
For Fiscal Year 2025-2026
2 IV. PRUDENCE
Government Code Section 53600.3 provides that the “prudent investor” standard is to be used by the Treasurer as a fiduciary of public funds. This standard provides that when investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling or managing public funds, the Treasurer shall act with care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the City, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the City. Investment officers acting in accordance with written procedures and the investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.
V. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
Authority to manage the City’s investment program is derived from the California Government Code. Management responsibility for the investment program is hereby delegated to the Treasurer who shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken and shall establish a system of controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials, and their procedures in the absence of the Treasurer.
The Treasurer shall establish written investment policy procedures for the operation of the investment program consistent with this investment policy.
The procedures should include references to safekeeping, wire transfer agreements, collateral/depository agreements, banking services contracts, and other investment-related activities. Such procedures shall include explicit delegation of authority to persons responsible for investment transactions.

The City Clerk’s Office will release the bid bonds for all construction firms that were not selected after approval from the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
Approval of this action will allow staff to proceed with construction of this capital project, with the estimated construction cost of $1,974,777.30 which includes a 10% contingency of $179,550.66.

City Council Agenda Report
July 7, 2025
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Huntington Park
6550 Miles Avenue
Huntington Park, CA 90255
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:
RATIFICATION AND APPROVAL OF COMMUNITY IMPACT AD HOC COMMITTEE AND APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS TO SUPPORT “HP WITH YOU” COMMUNITY
RESILIENCE PILOT INITIATIVE
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 2025-XX ratifying and affirming the creation of the Community Impact Ad Hoc Committee as established by the Mayor; and
2. Approve the appropriation and allocation of $150,000 to implement the "HP With You" pilot initiative, in accordance with the City's purchasing policies and procedures; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to take all necessary actions to carry out the intent of the City Council, including executing any related agreements and administering the program.
BACKGROUND
On June 16, 2025, in response to growing community concern surrounding increased immigration enforcement activities, including those involving unmarked vehicles and masked individuals claiming federal authority, the City Council expressed strong interest in a structured, rapid response. Mayor Arturo Flores established the Community Impact Ad Hoc Committee to evaluate options for compassionate and community-centered intervention. Councilmembers Jonathan Sanabria and Nancy Martiz joined the committee, along with the City Manager, to develop an actionable proposal.
The HP With You initiative was developed by the Ad Hoc Committee and designed by the City Manager. This pilot program aims to support immigrant and mixed-status families through three key pillars:
RATIFICATION AND APPROVAL OF COMMUNITY IMPACT AD HOC COMMITTEE AND APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS TO SUPPORT “HP WITH YOU” COMMUNITY
RESILIENCE INITIATIVE
July 7, 2025
• Civic Education and Messaging
• Legal Aid and Rapid Response
• Social Aid through Community Partnerships
The initiative is being implemented in collaboration with local partners, including the HP Run Club, Huntington Park Chamber of Commerce, Labor Community Services, and Central City Neighborhood Partners (the Fiscal Agent). Program management is provided by the Southeast Leadership Network under the "HP With You" banner, which will remain City-controlled.
FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
The proposed appropriation of $150,000 will be allocated from the General Fund. The specific account number will be identified and provided at the City Council meeting on Monday, July 7, 2025, prior to final action on the item.
CONCLUSION
The “HP With You” initiative is a pilot program designed to provide immediate, coordinated support to residents in response to heightened immigration enforcement concerns. By affirming the creation of the Community Impact Ad Hoc Committee and allocating targeted resources to legal aid, education, and social services, the City demonstrates its commitment to protecting vulnerable populations and fostering public trust. Adoption of the recommended actions will authorize the timely launch of this pilot effort, enabling the City to evaluate its impact and effectiveness for potential future consideration.
Respectfully submitted,
RICARDO REYES
City Manager

(See attached)
60-Day Outreach Campaign Proposal
INTRODUCTION
This comprehensive proposal seeks to address heightened community fear due to ICE activity through civic messaging, legal support, and social aid, using a community-trusted model.
GOALS & OBJECTIVES
1. Inform Residents of Their Rights and Available Legal Support Launch targeted outreach campaigns to educate all residents—regardless of immigration status—about their legal rights during interactions with law enforcement or immigration authorities. Provide multilingual resources, host "Know Your Rights" workshops, and distribute printed materials outlining steps individuals can take to protect themselves and their families. Partner with local legal aid organizations to ensure access to free or low-cost legal consultations, representation, and assistance with immigration proceedings.
2. Dismantle Fear Surrounding ICE Presence Through Clear, CommunityLed Messaging Develop and disseminate accurate, up-to-date information about ICE activity from trusted community sources. Establish a community-led rapid response communication network using text alerts, social media, to counter misinformation and reduce panic. Use culturally competent messaging to emphasize safety, solidarity, and empowerment, and to ensure that affected individuals know how to respond without jeopardizing their legal standing or personal well-being.
3. Build Trust in Community Resources
Strengthen and promote alternative community-based support systems, such as neighborhood mutual aid groups, culturally specific service providers, and faith-based organizations. Ensure these resources are accessible, well-publicized, and staffed by individuals who reflect and ATTACHMENT “C”
understand the communities they serve. Prioritize trauma-informed care and confidentiality to encourage engagement without fear of surveillance or retaliation.
4. Mobilize Volunteers and Resources to Meet Social Aid Needs With Dignity Coordinate grassroots efforts to deliver essential services such as food distribution, rental assistance (possibly rent relief or emergency eviction stay), transportation (dial a ride), childcare, and mental health support in ways that honor individual dignity and autonomy. Recruit and train from within the community to ensure culturally relevant service delivery. Develop a sustainable infrastructure for resource-sharing, including donation drives, partnerships with local businesses, and centralized hubs for aid distribution.
CIVIC MESSAGING & COMMUNITY REASSURANCE
1. Campaign Branding Development
Create strong, culturally resonant campaign branding with slogans such as “We Keep Each Other Safe” and “Conozca Sus Derechos” to foster community pride, solidarity, and awareness. Branding should be visually consistent across all materials, incorporating accessible language and inclusive imagery that reflects the local population.
Multilingual Communications Distribution
Design and disseminate print and digital outreach materials in the primary languages spoken in the community (e.g., Spanish, English, etc.). Materials should include flyers, posters, and social media graphics. Distribute through community centers, schools, clinics, local businesses, and faith organizations, as well as through door-to-door outreach.
Reassurance Through Trusted Messengers
Use trusted community members—such as promotoras, faith leaders, and local educators—as spokespeople in messaging efforts. Host zoom town forums, and pop-up events where residents can ask questions and receive reliable information in a calm, non-threatening environment.
2. LEGAL AID & RAPID RESPONSE INTEGRATION
Accessible Legal Information
Design wallet-sized “Know Your Rights” cards and referral cards with hotline numbers, local legal clinics, and brief instructions on what to do in case of ICE interaction. Materials are laminated and easy to carry.
Training for Key Community Actors
Organize regular ICE response trainings for nonprofit staff, school personnel, faith leaders, and community organizers. Topics should include rights during raids, emergency family preparedness plans, and best practices for documentation and safety.
Establish a Coordinated Rapid Response Network
Build a community-led rapid response infrastructure in partnership with local legal aid organizations. Designate point persons in different neighborhoods and equip them with a clear protocol to report ICE activity, connect affected individuals to legal counsel, and activate solidarity support (e.g., court accompaniment, media alerts).
3. SOCIAL AID SUPPORT THROUGH FOOD ACCESS
Non-Stigmatizing Food Drive Events
Host food drive events in safe, accessible, and familiar community spaces such as churches, schools, or city centers. Structure events to feel welcoming and informal emphasizing dignity and mutual aid over charity.
Food Delivery Program
Coordinate weekly food delivery efforts to ensure families receive nutritious groceries directly at their homes or designated safe drop-off locations.
Prioritize accessibility by offering contactless delivery with no ID or paperwork required. Deliveries should be made by trusted, trained community volunteers to create a sense of connection and care. This program emphasizes dignity, confidentiality, and mutual aid—offering support without stigma or judgment.
Volunteer Engagement and Training
Recruit community volunteers through local networks and train them on culturally responsive outreach, trauma-informed service delivery, and confidentiality. Equip volunteers with scripts, basic supplies (e.g., gloves, bags), and transportation stipends where needed.
4. CANVASSING STRATEGY
Deployment and Coverage Plan
Launch a robust canvassing operation with 6 trained outreach workers operating 5 days a week. Assign canvassers to specific zones with high concentrations of immigrant families or residents impacted by public safety concerns.
Equipping Outreach Teams
Provide each canvasser with visible identification badges, branded T-shirts or vests, PPE (e.g., masks, sanitizer), and a fully stocked outreach kit containing multilingual flyers, legal aid cards, and food distribution/delivery schedules.
Targeted Outreach Locations
Prioritize canvassing in high-traffic and high-need locations such as public schools, apartment complexes, transit stations, local supermarkets, and places of worship. Use foot traffic data and community mapping to guide deployment and ensure maximum reach.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Councilmembers Jonathan Sanabria and Nancy Martiz
FROM: Ricardo Reyes, City Manager
DATE: June 22, 2025
SUBJECT: Proposal for Community Messaging and Legal Support Initiative – ICE Response Program
As part of the Council’s formation of the Community Impact Ad Hoc Committee to respond to ICE-related concerns, this proposal outlines a public-facing initiative designed to reduce fear, affirm legal protections, and provide residents with trusted, non-police avenues for support and information.
Increased reports of federal activity — often involving unmarked vehicles and masked individuals — have intensified anxiety, particularly among immigrant and mixed-status families.
Residents are uncertain of their rights and may be reluctant to engage with local government for fear of unintended consequences.
This mirrors broader conversations in public safety: just as mental health crises are now increasingly addressed by health professionals instead of police, immigration-related fear and legal uncertainty call for civilian-led, legally informed, and community-trusted responses.
Three-Pillar Response Framework:
1. Civic Messaging and Community Reassurance
a. Design and Launch a Visual Identity Campaign
i. A unifying symbol developed that reinforces safety, dignity, and rights — with key messages like “Know Your Rights” and “We Keep Each Other Safe.”
b. Public Awareness Materials
i. Multilingual posters, flyers, and digital content for distribution at City facilities, schools, and partner organizations.
2. Legal Aid and Rapid Response
a. Referral and Support Network
ATTACHMENT "D"
6550 Miles Avenue Huntington Park, CA 90255 www.huntingtonpark.org (323) 582-6161 i. Collaborate with local legal aid organizations to provide direct assistance and legal referrals for residents facing immigration-related threats. b. Rapid Response Protocols
i. Leverage existing City infrastructure, including police dispatch, to create a mechanism for non-police alerts to legal aid partners, allowing a realtime response by attorneys or legal advocates. c. Staff Guidance and Training
i. Equip City staff with clear, legally vetted protocols on how to handle ICE presence and redirect inquiries appropriately.
3. Social Aid Through Community-Based Food Distribution a. Emergency Food Access
i. Partner with a local nonprofit food pantry to deliver regular, volunteerdriven food distribution to families facing fear or disruption due to ICE activity.
b. Volunteer Mobilization and Outreach
i. Engage community members, faith-based groups, and local businesses to support food drives and outreach efforts, thereby further building trust and civic solidarity.
c. Non-Stigmatizing Delivery Model
i. Ensure food aid is distributed with dignity, confidentiality, and without any government formality to encourage broad participation.
Press Conference and Community Launch:
To reinforce trust and distance the initiative from formal government branding, we plan to announce the program at a recognized nonprofit venue in Huntington Park. The press conference will include partners from legal and social service organizations, community leaders, and volunteers — affirming that this is a collective, resident-centered effort.
Implementation & Funding:
The initiative will be launched using resources under the City Manager’s existing spending authority, allowing for rapid rollout without delay. Any significant ongoing expenses or future expansion will be brought before the full Council for formal consideration.
Next Steps:
• Committee review and feedback on program scope
• Confirm partnerships with local legal aid and food pantry organizations. • Develop materials and launch plan.
• Schedule press conferences and outreach campaign
This program responds to the moment with compassion, clarity, and coordination — reinforcing the City’s commitment to community protection and resilience.
Respectfully,
Ricardo Reyes

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Huntington Park
6550 Miles Avenue
Huntington Park, CA 90255
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:
FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 2025-08 – REVISION OF CHAPTER 11 OF THE
HUNTINGTON PARK MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING CITY COMMISSIONS IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT CITY COUNCIL:
1. Review and discuss the proposed amendments to Chapter 11 of the Huntington Park Municipal Code regarding City Commissions.
BACKGROUND
The City Council (“Council”) of the City of Huntington Park (”City”) adopted Resolution 2015-19 on May 18, 2015. The Resolution established six (6) commissions within the City and modified the manner in which commissioners are appointed to the commissions.
At the May 19, 2025 meeting of the City Council, direction was given to staff to review the current Code and any resolutions that reflect the manner in which commissioners are appointed. Staff has undertaken a complete review of the current Code and any modifications or amendments to the Code established by resolution or other means. As a result of the review, it has been discovered that the current code does not incorporate the changes made by Resolution 2015-19.
Despite the Council adopting the Resolution, the City Municipal Code (“Code”) was never updated to reflect the changes made by the Resolution. At this time, the Code only calls for two commissions, these being the Youth Commission and the Theatre and Arts Commission. These can be found under Chapter 11 – City Commissions. No other provisions within the Code were found that establish the formation, manner of appointment, or any other regulatory scheme for commissions within the City.

City Council Agenda Report
July 7, 2025
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Huntington Park
6550 Miles Avenue
Huntington Park, CA 90255
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:
APPROVAL OF A GENERAL FUND APPROPRIATION AND DIRECTION TO
PROCEED WITH BODY-WORN CAMERA PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
IT IS RECOMMENDED THE CITY COUNCIL:
1. Approve an appropriation of $400,000 from the General Fund to support the initial implementation phase of the Police Department's Body-Worn Camera (BWC) Program; and
2. Direct the Police Department to solicit proposals and return to the City Council with a recommendation for the award of a professional services agreement with a qualified vendor.
BACKGROUND
On December 16, 2024, the City Council received a comprehensive presentation outlining the feasibility, benefits, challenges, and estimated costs of implementing a Body-Worn Camera (BWC) Program for the Huntington Park Police Department. The presentation emphasized how BWCs can enhance transparency, accountability, evidence collection, and community relations, while also highlighting critical operational considerations, including data storage, legal compliance, privacy concerns, staffing, and the long-term fiscal impact.
Following the presentation, Councilmember Sanabria motioned, seconded by then Vice Mayor Flores, to direct staff to establish a multidisciplinary workgroup consisting of representatives from Administration, Police Administration, the Police Officers' Association, the City Clerk's Office, Human Resources, Information Technology, Finance, and other relevant stakeholders. This workgroup was tasked with evaluating the feasibility, operational considerations, and financial impacts of a BWC program and returning to the Council with a detailed proposal and recommendations within 60 days.
APPROVAL OF A GENERAL FUND APPROPRIATION AND DIRECTION TO
PROCEED WITH BODY-WORN CAMERA PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
July 7, 2025
Although the workgroup has not yet completed its review—as exemplified by the release of a community survey on July 1, 2025, seeking resident input on support for the implementation of body-worn cameras—the City Council has expressed interest in taking swift and decisive action to advance the program. In recognition of this urgency, the Police Department is seeking authorization to appropriate funds and initiate procurement efforts to move closer to program implementation, while the remaining components of the workgroup's analysis continue in parallel.
DISCUSSION
The use of body-worn cameras has been shown to:
• Enhance transparency and accountability in police operations. • Improve evidence collection and reduce use-of-force incidents. • Build community trust through objective documentation of interactions.
In anticipation of the implementation, the Police Department seeks approval to appropriate $400,000 from the General Fund to cover:
• Initial camera and equipment purchases.
• Licensing and data storage.
• Training
• Preliminary legal and redaction-related service costs.
The Department will use this allocation to initiate a Request for Proposals (RFP) process and return to the Council with a qualified vendor recommendation.
FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
The proposed appropriation of $400,000 will be allocated from the General Fund account number 111-7010-421.74-10 to support the initial implementation phase of the Body-Worn Camera (BWC) Program. This funding will cover the costs of equipment procurement, data storage, and training.
While the initial investment is intended to be funded through the General Fund, the Police Department is expected to actively pursue state and federal grants, as well as other external funding sources, to support the initial funding and the program's longterm sustainability.
CONCLUSION
The BWC program represents a significant step forward in modernizing policing in Huntington Park and aligning operations with best practices in public safety. Staff recommends that the Council approve the appropriation and direct proceeding with vendor selection and implementation.

In the case of advisory bodies that meet on an “as-needed” basis, the Chair and Vice Chair shall be elected at the first meeting scheduled in March each year. A Chair may not serve more than two consecutive terms.
Responsibilities
The primary role of an advisory body is to provide judicious advice to the City Council, the elected policy-making body of the City.

There may be times when the advisory body’s recommendations will not be sustained or will be modified by the City Council. It is important for the advisory body members to recognize that this is not a rejection of the integrity of the recommendation, but an inevitable part of the process of community decision-making.
Attendance
For advisory bodies to function effectively and accomplish their goals, all members must be active participants. This means all members must be present at all meetings. Commissioners should inform the staff liaison prior to the meeting if they will be unable to attend.

If the appointing Councilmember completes his or her term, vacates their office or otherwise is no longer holding office, the term of the Commissioner appointed by said Councilmember shall end. However, nothing contained in this section shall prevent another Councilmember or the new Councilmember from appointing the individual back to the same Commission or to a different Commission. (Resolution No. 2015-19) Termination of Commission
Termination of the Commission shall be done at the will and vote of the City Council. (Resolution No. 2015-19)
Compensation
Commission member compensation shall be set by resolution of the City Council. 6 Commission Handbook
All Commission Members must adhere to the provisions contained and referenced in the City of Huntington Park Commission Handbook as approved by the City Council.
Scope of Authority
All communication or questions should be addressed to each advisory body’s respective staff liaison. If a question arises and the members require clarification as to duties, authority, or legal issues, all such items must be presented to the staff liaison. The staff liaison will seek clarification from the appropriate parties (i.e. department head, City Attorney or City Council) and report back to the advisory body.
Advisory bodies are not involved in the administration or operation of City departments. Advisory body members may not direct City staff to initiate programs and may not conduct major studies or establish policy without the approval of the City Council. All communication or questions must go through the staff liaison.
Advisory body members may not use their official title or City equipment or resources for non-City business. Examples of such prohibited conduct include, but are not limited to, use of City vehicles, facilities and City stationery.
Advisory bodies shall not receive, disburse, or in any way possess money or any other valuable commodity as an agent of the City without the prior authorization of the City Council Advisory bodies shall not knowingly work to the advantage of any citizen or group or show preference to any other citizen or group.
All advisory bodies who anticipate the need during the upcoming fiscal year for financial expenditures shall submit through their staff liaison an annual proposed budget to the corresponding Department Head and City Manager. The budget request will be incorporated into the City’s annual budget for Council review and approval. All requests for budgeted expenditures shall be processed according to City purchasing procedures.
Advisory bodies shall be subject to the same travel and business expense policy established by the City Council. (Policy available through staff liaison.)
All action and business of the advisory body shall be conducted by the advisory body as a whole, and no member shall transact business on an individual basis unless authorized by the majority vote of the quorum.
It is the responsibility of the advisory body to be represented at the meetings of the City Council or at meetings of other committees or commissions when matters of joint concern are to be discussed.
It will be the responsibility of advisory bodies to inform other bodies of the city via the staff liaison when it will consider matters of concern to such other advisory bodies. 7 Conflicts of Interest
All members of City advisory bodies should avoid the appearance of bias in pending City matters at all times. The Government Code states that “members of the legislature, state, county, district, judicial district, and city officers or employees, which includes city advisory board members, shall not be financially interested in any contract made by them in their official capacity, or by any body or board of which they are members.
The Political Reform Act of 1974 defines various conflicts of interest and is quite lengthy; but basically, a conflict of interest exists when a person influences a decision that will materially affect the value of a personal financial interest, or a financial interest of his/her immediate family, as distinguished from the action’s effect on the public in general.
If a Commission or Committee member has a conflict of interest, he/she must not make or participate in making, or in any way attempt to use his/her official position to influence a governmental decision relating to the matter in which he/she or a member of his/her immediate family, possess a financial interest. The safest way to address a conflict of interest is for the Commission or Committee members to state that there is a conflict immediately after the Chair announces the item for consideration. The member must then refrain from participating in the deliberations and abstain from voting.
Penalties for violating the conflict-of-interest laws are serious and may include fines and/or a prohibition against serving in public office. Questions regarding a potential conflict of interest may be directed to your staff liaison or the City Clerk, who will consult with the City Attorney if necessary.
You may also view more information about conflicts of interest by visiting the State of California Fair Political Practices Commission website at www.fppc.ca.gov Additionally, all members of a City advisory body are required to complete a Statement of Economic Interest (Form 700) upon assuming office and an annual statement for filing with the City Clerk. All forms are distributed by the City Clerk who is the City’s FPPC filing officer. Upon completion all Form 700s are filed with the City Clerk and kept available for public inspection.
The City of Huntington Park has adopted a Conflict-of-Interest Code which identifies the officers, employees and consultants who are required to file a Form 700 based upon their involvement or participation in the making of decisions which may foreseeably have a material effect or a financial interest.
Quorum
At any meeting of an advisory body, a majority of the total number of members of the Commission shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, but a lesser number may adjourn from time to time for want of quorum and until a quorum can be obtained. (Resolution No. 2015-19). Unless otherwise posted, a majority vote of those present and voting shall be sufficient to adopt motions.
Agendas
State law requires that an agenda for each advisory meeting be posted at least 72 hours prior to the meeting. The agenda shall state the time and place of the meeting and a brief description of matters to be heard. The agenda shall also provide an opportunity for members of the public to be heard at the 8 meeting regarding matters within the jurisdiction of the advisory body. The staff liaison assigned to each advisory body is responsible for preparation and posting of the meeting agenda. A copy of the agenda is mailed and/or e-mailed (upon request) to each member of the advisory body as well as to the members of the Huntington Park City Council, City Manager and the City Clerk. The staff liaison is also responsible for notifying the advisory members, City Council, City Manager and the City Clerk of meeting cancellations, adjournments, and/or change of locations.
Public Comment
The public shall be allowed to speak at all meetings on any item of interest so long as the item is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the legislative body. The law also provides that the public must be allowed to speak before the consideration of any specific item on the agenda.
Meetings
Regular meetings of the Commission shall be as set by each Commission. The place of such meetings shall be at Salt Lake Park, 3401 E. Florence Avenue, Hunting Park, California (with the exception of the Planning and Civil Service Commissions) unless otherwise designated by the City Council or approved by a majority of the total membership of the Commission. When the day for such regular meetings falls on a legal holiday, the meeting shall not be held on such holiday, but shall be held at the same hour on the next succeeding day thereafter which is not a holiday. All meetings of the Commission shall be open and public, and subject to all laws of the state of California e.g. the Brown Act, governing open public meetings. The Commission shall adopt its own rules for the transaction of its business and keep a record of resolutions, findings and recommendations and actions voted upon. A report of each meeting of the Commission shall be given to the City Council. (Resolution No. 2015-19)
Meeting Types
City advisory bodies may hold two types of meetings: regular and special meetings.
Regular Meetings are held at the time and place specified in the resolution establishing procedures for each corresponding advisory body. Regular meetings may be “adjourned to” another date and time and are considered “regular adjourned meetings.” A copy of the order or notice of adjournment shall be posted on the door where the regular meeting was held within 24 hours of the adjournment.
Special Meetings may be held at a different time or place to discuss specific issues as noted on the meeting agenda, as long as the meeting has been properly noticed at least 24 hours prior to the meeting. No other business may be discussed at the special meeting.
E-Mail Communications between Advisory Body Members
Since e-mail communication can ultimately lead to the exchange of information intended to, or which may, create collective concurrence among a quorum of advisory body members, e-mail communications between advisory body member’s relative to advisory body business, should be avoided. While two members of a five-member body, for example, may appropriately communicate 9 with one another by way of e-mail, the “forwarding” of such an e-mail message on to a third or subsequent member would result in a Brown Act violation.
Role and Responsibilities of the Chair
The Chair shall preserve order and decorum at all meetings of the advisory body, announce the advisory body’s decisions, and decide questions of order. The Chair is responsible for ensuring the effectiveness of the group process by moving the discussion forward, involving all members of the advisory body, and allowing adequate public participation. In the absence of the Chair the Vice Chair shall act as the presiding officer.
Making Motions
Advisory body meetings are usually conducted according to parliamentary procedure. Unless otherwise specified by State law or City regulations, conduct of all meetings shall generally follow Robert’s Rules of Order.
When a member wishes to propose an action on a particular item on the posted agenda for the advisory body to consider, the member makes a motion. Below is an example of the steps involved with a motion.
1. The member asks to be recognized by the Chair.
2. After being recognized, the member makes the motion: “I move that …”
3. Another member seconds the motion: “I second the motion.”
4. The Chair restates the motion and asks for discussion on the motion.
5. When the Chair determines that there has been enough discussion, the debate may be closed with, “Is there any further discussion?”
6. If no one asks for permission to speak, the Chair then puts the question to a vote: “All those in favor say aye.” “All those opposed say nay.” Any member may request a roll call vote on a motion.
7. After the vote, the Chair announces the decision.
Decorum and Order
Properly phrasing a motion can be difficult and corrections may be necessary before it is acted upon.
The member making the motion may rephrase it or withdraw it.
Every commissioner desiring to speak shall address the chair and, upon recognition by the presiding officer, shall confine himself or herself to the question under debate.
Every commissioner desiring to question the administrative staff shall address the question to the department head who shall be entitled either to answer the inquiry directly or to designate some member of staff for that purpose.
A commissioner, once recognized, shall not be interrupted while speaking unless called to order by the presiding officer, unless a Point of Order is raised by another commissioner or unless the speaker chooses to yield to questions from another commissioner. 10 If a commissioner is called to order while speaking, he or she shall cease speaking immediately until the question or order is determined. If ruled to be in order, he or she shall be permitted to proceed. If ruled to be not in order, he or she shall remain silent or shall alter his or her remarks so as to comply with rules of the commission.
Advisory body members shall accord the utmost courtesy to each other, to City employees, and to the public appearing before the advisory body and shall refrain at all times from rude and derogatory remarks, reflections as to integrity, abusive comments and statements as to motives and personalities.
Any commissioner may move to require the presiding officer to enforce the rules, and the affirmative vote of a majority of the advisory body shall require him or her to so act.
Members of the advisory body shall not leave their seats during a meeting without the consent of the presiding officer.
City employees shall observe the same rules of procedure and decorum applicable to members of the advisory body. Any staff member, including the department head, desiring to address the commission, or members of the public shall first be recognized by the chair. All remarks shall be addressed to the chair and not to any one individual commissioner or public member.
Meeting Minutes
The staff liaison assigned to the advisory body is responsible for preparation of the minutes of each meeting. Meeting minutes shall be in Action form with the exception of Public Comment to be in summary form. Actions taken by the advisory body. Minutes of the meeting shall be submitted to the advisory body for approval at its next meeting and shall be signed by the Chair.
All advisory body agendas and minutes will be kept by the staff liaison, a copy forwarded to the City Council, City Manager, and City Clerk.
