City Clerk: City Clerk made the following statement: After four-and-a-half years of dedicated service I have made the difficult decision to pursue a new professional development opportunity. Serving the residents of Huntington Park and supporting the City Council, City Administration, and the democratic process has been one of the greatest privileges of my career. During my tenure I have had the honor of collaborating with an exceptional team of professionals whose commitment to public service has inspired me every day. I am sincerely grateful for the trust, support and collaboration extended to me by city staff, department directors, and elected officials. The professional relationships I have developed throughout these years are ones that I will always value and appreciate. I am proud of what we have accomplished together and confident that city will continue to thrive through the dedication and hard work of its employees. I remain committed to ensuring a smooth and seamless transition and have been here to assist in that transition. With my final day being this Thursday, July 16th, I want to thank the staff, administration, directors, and city council for the opportunity to serve the City of Huntington Park, the community, and its residents. It has truly been an honor to contribute to the cities mission and be a part of this organization that is dedicated to public service and leave with immense gratitude and respect to everyone that has been part of this journey.

His professionalism and mannerism are unparalleled.
WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS
Councilmember Martiz: Thank you to Eddie for your service. The City of Huntington Park is very lucky to have you as the City Clerk. Especially in the last year for implementing the By-district process and helping protect the democratic process. As well as, making sure we were moving the city to a better place. Please don’t forget about us and will be supporting you wherever you go. Also, want to give a shoutout to Jeff and the finance team that we finally implemented this finance system. These types of investments, our community members don’t really see, but hopefully they feel when they come in and do business with the City. Congratulations to the finance department and congratulations to the city.
Councilmember Macias: Wishing everybody a good night. Mr. Sarmiento it has been an honor having you here in the City of Huntington Park. It was an honor of being part of the council that was in your initial interview. I know you will be in an amazing rendition wherever you go. Congratulations on the continued journey on your career. Your professionalism is great, and I just wanted to thank you for showing your commitment to the community. It has been a great honor and I’m sorry to see you go, it’s a great loss for us here in Huntington Park and I know you will be a great gain to another community.
Please always consider Huntington Park your home.
Councilmember Flores: I wanted to take time to recognize the amazing work you have done with the City Eddie. The city has gone through a few transitions. The one thing I can say about you is your professionalism, your love for the community is something I admire. I once joked that you should run for office, but I genuinely think that one day you should step into that role one day. The city you are going to is going to have a good addition.
Vice Mayor Sanabria: Thank you everyone for all that you do. Thank you to the police department for assisting with the fireworks control. Parks and Recreation amazing show, wish it was a little longer. City Manager thanks for letting everyone know what is occurring. {City Clerk} Your professionalism is very impressive, and it is very hard to see you go. As opportunities are granted to folks, we can’t let them pass. I wish you nothing but the best. I know you will continue to succeed and serve larger communities.
Mayor Martinez: Thank you staff for having an amazing 4th of July event. City Clerk, you were an amazing city clerk. It was a pleasure to get to know you. You were very professional and I wish you success in life in your next chapter. You did a very good job.
Regarding upcoming elections, in my experience what occurred with the FBI and DA investigation, there were a lot of things done wrong behind our backs. I worry that the same group will try to take control of the city and put pressure on directors and the city managers to do stuff behinds out backs again. I want to see how the city can have better protection and let the public and council know if stuff is being done wrong. I would like to have reform and ensure that we never have incidents like that never happen again.

City Council Agenda Report
July 28, 2026
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:
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING
COLLECTION OF DELINQUENT REFUSE CHARGES PURSUANT TO SECTION 6-
2.112 OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON PARK’S MUNICIPAL CODE (172.54 REFUSE
COLLECTION FEES)
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:
1. Conduct a public hearing;
2. Take public testimony;
3. Adopt Resolution No. 2026-XX, Directing the County Assessor to include delinquent refuse collection fees as a special assessment to be collected at the same time and in the same manner as County taxes (172.54 Refuse Collection Fees).
PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Valley Vista is the City's residential and commercial waste hauler. As required by the City’s franchise agreement with Valley Vista and in accordance with Section 6-2.112 of the City of Huntington Park Municipal Code, Valley Vista has provided a list of delinquent residential and commercial accounts for the purpose of debt collection. Collection of delinquent accounts, including all applicable fees and penalties, is accomplished through the Los Angeles County Auditor-Controller’s Office via the annual property tax roll.
The Los Angeles County Auditor-Controller’s Office requires a City Council resolution to be adopted annually to document the service assessments to be levied upon each real property parcel and to inform the Auditor-Controller of the City’s intent to collect delinquent fees associated with trash accounts via the tax roll. Absent this action, the City would be unable to collect the annual delinquent charges for the given year.
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING
COLLECTION OF DELINQUENT REFUSE CHARGES PURSUANT TO SECTION 6-
2.112 OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON PARK’S MUNICIPAL CODE (172.54 REFUSE
COLLECTION FEES)
July 28, 2026
As required by law, the City publicized the public hearing on July 17, 2026, edition of the Press Telegram.
FACTS AND PROVISIONS/LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
The City’s franchise agreement with the former waste hauler provides for municipal solid waste and recycling collection, transport, and disposal services (“Refuse Disposal Service”) to residential and commercial properties in the City. Residential and operating businesses are required to have Refuse Disposal Service and each property owner of a residential and commercial property is ultimately responsible for the payment of charges for service provided. In the event that the Refuse Disposal Service charge billed by the City’s waste hauler is not paid, the provisions of California Health and Safety Code Section 5473a and Section 6-2.112 of the City of Huntington Park Municipal Code authorize the City to collect the delinquent Refuse Disposal Service charges from the owners of the residential and commercial properties shown on the property tax roll after notice is given and a public hearing is held by the Huntington Park City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
Upon receipt of monies from the Los Angeles County Auditor-Collector, the City will remit payment to Valley Vista equal to the actual amount recovered less ten percent (10%), in accordance with Section 6-2.112 of the City of Huntington Park Municipal Code to cover the City's cost in the collection of the delinquent fees. The City will also receive payment of the franchise fee from Valley Vista for the amount of delinquent fees received via the County tax roll.
CONCLUSION
Upon adoption of the attached Resolution, staff will proceed to coordinate with the County and place the subject assessments on the County’s Tax Roll for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.
Respectfully submitted,
RICARDO REYES
City Manager

Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING AND
ORDERING THE LEVY AND COLLECTION OF THE ANNUAL SPECIAL TAX FOR THE
CITY OF HUNTINGTON PARK STREET LIGHTING, PARKS, AND LANDSCAPING SPECIAL TAX DISTRICT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT CITY COUNCIL:
1. Conduct a public hearing;
2. Take public testimony; and
3. Adopt Resolution No. 2026-XX Establishing and Ordering the Levy and Collection of the Annual Special Tax for the City of Huntington Park Street Lighting, Parks and Landscaping Special Tax District for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.
PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
In 2004, City voters passed Measure L, which replaced the former Lighting and Landscaping Maintenance District with a parcel tax designed to upgrade the City’s aging streetlights. The monies received by the Measure L parcel tax pays for debt service, staff salaries & benefits, maintenance of light fixtures, and landscape maintenance throughout the City.
The Measure L Assessment Levy Schedule places each property owner into one of 40 categories, each of which has a different annual fee charge as shown in Attachment A, Exhibit A. The Measure L assessment levy is collected on the annual property tax bill.
The Assessment Levy Schedule is subject to a 3.0% annual inflation increase in accordance with Ordinance 750-NS. The authorizing Ordinance requires that the annual levy and annual operating expense budget be approved by the City Council each fiscal year.

FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
The fiscal impact is detailed in the paragraphs above regarding both budgeted and actual revenues and expenditures for the Street Lighting and Landscape Assessment Fund.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Huntington Park

Huntington Park, CA 90255
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION FIXING THE ANNUAL PENSION TAX RATE TO PAY THE CITY’S PENSION OBLIGATION BOND ANNUAL DEBT SERVICE AND A PORTION OF THE COST OF THE PUBLIC EMPLOYEES’ RETIREMENT SYSTEM FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 2026-XX, Fixing the Rate of Taxes to Pay the Cost of the Public Employees Retirement System for the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 and Levying Taxes for Said Retirement System to the Fiscal Year Beginning July 1, 2026.
PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
In 1976, the voters of the City of Huntington Park approved an initiative to pay for the City’s obligation to participate in the State of California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CaIPERS). Since that time, the City Council has annually set this voter approved ad valorem tax rate that facilitates placement on the property tax rolls by the Auditor Controller of the County of Los Angeles in order for the City to be able to meet its CalPERS related pension obligations.
Further, in 2005, the City issued $23,050,000 City of Huntington Park Pension Obligation Bonds (Federally Taxable), Series 2005A (“Refunding Bonds”). The proceeds of the Refunding Bonds were then deposited into CalPERS to mitigate the City’s unfunded pension liability for public safety employees at that point in time. The pension tax override was then pledged to the Refunding Bonds and in order to establish the obligation by law, the Refunding Bonds were validated in the courts, a judgment so entered, and the Refunding Bonds and a pledge of the override accordingly validated.
As in prior years, City Council establishes the property tax rate to be levied for FY 2026- 2027 by resolution. Staff will move forward with placement on the property tax roll prior to the deadline, so that collection is ensured for payment of the City’s debt service obligation.
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION FIXING THE ANNUAL PENSION TAX RATE TO PAY THE CITY’S PENSION OBLIGATION BOND ANNUAL DEBT SERVICE AND A PORTION OF THE COST OF THE PUBLIC EMPLOYEES’ RETIREMENT SYSTEM FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027
July 28, 2026
FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
If the City Council approves the proposed rates, the pension tax revenues are estimated in the amount of $9 million for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.
The City’s budgeted costs for pension benefits for City employees are estimated at $10.1 million for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. There is a shortfall of $1.1 million in covering the City’s costs for pension obligations.
CONCLUSION
After Council approval of the resolution fixing the annual pension tax rate for the payment of debt service, as well as a portion of the cost of the CalPERS contribution, the City Clerk shall certify as to the adoption of the Resolution and cause it to be published once in a newspaper of general circulation, no later than fifteen (15) days following the adoption.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF MOU TO ENTER INTO PARTNERSHIP
WITH TREEPEOPLE FOR TREE PLANTING PROGRAM
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:
1. Approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Huntington Park and TreePeople to continue their partnership on a U.S. Forest Service-funded tree planting program.
2. Authorize the City Manager to approve the MOU and any related documents necessary to implement the agreement and carry out the tree planting program in accordance with its terms.
PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
TreePeople has secured federal funding through the U.S. Forest Service’s Urban and Community Forestry Program to expand tree planting, distribution, and maintenance activities within Huntington Park. As part of this federally supported initiative, TreePeople is requesting that the City formalize its role as a beneficiary and partner through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
The MOU establishes the framework for continued collaboration through 2029, including responsibilities related to planting, distributing, and maintaining trees in public spaces and supporting community engagement activities. Formalizing the partnership ensures alignment with federal grant requirements, clarifies roles for both parties, and supports the successful implementation of the tree planting program within the City.
BACKGROUND
TreePeople have partnered with the City since 2020 to expand Huntington Park’s urban tree canopy through tree planting, fruit tree distribution, school greening projects, and youth education programs.
APPROVE MOU TO ENTER INTO PARTNERSHIP WITH TREEPEOPLE FOR TREE
PLANTING PROGRAM
July 28, 2026
Under the new federal grant:
• TreePeople will procure and plant 100–250 trees in public spaces. • TreePeople will distribute 100–250 trees to residents at no cost. • TreePeople will provide three years of establishment and maintenance care for all newly planted trees.
• Work must comply with federal reporting, performance, and compliance requirements, including semi-annual reporting deadlines and adherence to 2 CFR Part 200.
The MOU (Exhibit A) further outlines City responsibilities, including:
• Approving tree species and planting locations.
• Coordinating planting events.
• Providing water access for establishment care.
• Incorporating planted trees into long-term municipal tree maintenance cycles. • Providing establishment care if the federal grant is terminated early.
All planting activities will follow ISA standards and be conducted using non-mechanical tools.
FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
Activities proposed in this project will be funded through TreePeople’s grant with the U.S. Forest Service. There is no matching funds requirement.
CONCLUSION
Formalizing the partnership through the MOU will allow the City to continue expanding its urban tree canopy, enhance public spaces, and provide direct benefits to residents through free tree distribution and long-term tree care funded entirely by federal resources.
Upon Council approval, staff will proceed with the recommended actions.

W. BUY AMERICA BUILD AMERICA. Recipients of an award of Federal financial assistance from a program for infrastructure are hereby notified that none of the funds provided under this award may be used for an infrastructure project unless:
(1) All iron and steel used in the project are produced in the United States—this means all manufacturing processes, from the initial melting stage through the application of coatings, occurred in the United States; (2) All manufactured products used in the project are produced in the United States— this means the manufactured product was manufactured in the United States; and the cost of the components of the manufactured product that are mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States is greater than 55 percent of the total cost of all components of the manufactured product, unless another standard that meets or exceeds this standard has been established under applicable law or regulation for determining the minimum amount of domestic content of the manufactured product; and
(3) All construction materials are manufactured in the United States—this means that all manufacturing processes for the construction material occurred in the United States. The construction material standards are listed below.
Incorporation into an infrastructure project. The Buy America Preference only applies to articles, materials, and supplies that are consumed in, incorporated into, or affixed to an infrastructure project. As such, it does not apply to tools, equipment, and supplies, such as temporary scaffolding, brought to the construction site and removed at or before the completion of the infrastructure project. Nor does a Buy America Preference apply to equipment and furnishings, such as movable chairs, desks, and portable computer equipment, that are used at or within the finished infrastructure project, but are not an integral part of the structure or permanently affixed to the infrastructure project.
Categorization of articles, materials, and supplies. An article, material, or supply should only be classified into one of the following categories: (i) Iron or steel products; (ii) Award Number: 24-DG-11052021-215
Manufactured products; (iii) Construction materials; or (iv) Section 70917(c) materials.
An article, material, or supply should not be considered to fall into multiple categories. In some cases, an article, material, or supply may not fall under any of the categories listed in this paragraph. The classification of an article, material, or supply as falling into one of the categories listed in this paragraph must be made based on its status at the time it is brought to the work site for incorporation into an infrastructure project. In general, the work site is the location of the infrastructure project at which the iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials will be incorporated.
Application of the Buy America Preference by category. An article, material, or supply incorporated into an infrastructure project must meet the Buy America Preference for only the single category in which it is classified.
Determining the cost of components for manufactured products. In determining whether the cost of components for manufactured products is greater than 55 percent of the total cost of all components, use the following instructions:
(a) For components purchased by the manufacturer, the acquisition cost, including transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the manufactured product (whether or not such costs are paid to a domestic firm), and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued); or (b) For components manufactured by the manufacturer, all costs associated with the manufacture of the component, including transportation costs as described in paragraph (a), plus allocable overhead costs, but excluding profit. Cost of components does not include any costs associated with the manufacture of the manufactured product.
Construction material standards. The Buy America Preference applies to the following construction materials incorporated into infrastructure projects. Each construction material is followed by a standard for the material to be considered “produced in the United States.” Except as specifically provided, only a single standard should be applied to a single construction material.
(1) Non-ferrous metals. All manufacturing processes, from initial smelting or melting through final shaping, coating, and assembly, occurred in the United States. (2) Plastic and polymer-based products. All manufacturing processes, from initial combination of constituent plastic or polymer-based inputs, or, where applicable, constituent composite materials, until the item is in its final form, occurred in the United States.
Award Number: 24-DG-11052021-215
(3) Glass. All manufacturing processes, from initial batching and melting of raw materials through annealing, cooling, and cutting, occurred in the United States. (4) Fiber optic cable (including drop cable). All manufacturing processes, from the initial ribboning (if applicable), through buffering, fiber stranding and jacketing, occurred in the United States. All manufacturing processes also include the standards for glass and optical fiber, but not for non-ferrous metals, plastic and polymer-based products, or any others.
(5) Optical fiber. All manufacturing processes, from the initial preform fabrication stage through the completion of the draw, occurred in the United States. (6) Lumber. All manufacturing processes, from initial debarking through treatment and planning, occurred in the United States.
(7) Drywall. All manufacturing processes, from initial blending of mined or synthetic gypsum plaster and additives through cutting and drying of sandwiched panels, occurred in the United States.
(8) Engineered wood. All manufacturing processes from the initial combination of constituent materials until the wood product is in its final form, occurred in the United States.
Waivers. When necessary, recipients may apply for, and the agency may grant, a waiver from these requirements. The agency should notify the recipient for information on the process for requesting a waiver from these requirements.
When the Federal agency has made a determination that one of the following exceptions applies, the awarding official may waive the application of the Buy America Preference in any case in which the agency determines that:
(1) applying the Buy America Preference would be inconsistent with the public interest;
(2) the types of iron, steel, manufactured products, or construction materials are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available quantities or of a satisfactory quality; or
Award Number: 24-DG-11052021-215
(3) the inclusion of iron, steel, manufactured products, or construction materials produced in the United States will increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent.
A request to waive the application of the Buy America Preference must be in writing. The agency will provide instructions on the format, contents, and supporting materials required for any waiver request. Waiver requests are subject to public comment periods of no less than 15 days and must be reviewed by the Made in America Office.
There may be instances where an award qualifies, in whole or in part, for an existing waiver described at USDA Buy America Waivers for Federal Financial Assistance | USDA.

ATTACHMENT C: WHISTLEBLOWER NOTICE
Whistleblowers perform an important service to USDA and the public when they come forward with what they reasonably believe to be evidence of wrongdoing. They should never be subject to reprisal for doing so. Federal law protects federal employees as well as personal services contractors and employees of Federal contractors, subcontractors, grantees, and subgrantees against reprisal for whistleblowing. USDA bears the responsibility to ensure that nothing in a non-disclosure agreement which a contractor, subcontractor, grantee, or subgrantee requires their employees to sign should be interpreted as limiting their ability to provide information to the Office of Inspector General (OIG). 41 U.S.C. § 4712 requires the head of each executive agency to ensure that its contractors inform their workers in writing of the rights and remedies under the statute.
Accordingly, it is illegal for a personal services contractor or an employee of a Federal contractor, subcontractor, grantee, or subgrantee to be discharged, demoted, or otherwise discriminated against for making a protected whistleblower disclosure. In this context, these categories of individuals are whistleblowers who disclose information that the individual reasonably believes is evidence of one of the following:
• Gross mismanagement of a Federal contract or grant;
• A gross waste of Federal funds;
• An abuse of authority relating to a Federal contract or grant; • A substantial and specific danger to public health or safety; or • A violation of law, rule, or regulation related to a Federal contract (including the competition for or negotiation of a contract) or grant.
To be protected under 41 U.S.C. § 4712, the disclosure must be made to one of the following:
• A Member of Congress, or a representative of a committee of Congress; • The OIG;
• The Government Accountability Office (GAO);
• A Federal employee responsible for contract or grant oversight or management at USDA;
• An otherwise authorized official at USDA or other law enforcement agency; • A court or grand jury; or
• A management official or other employee of the contractor, subcontractor, or grantee who has the responsibility to investigate, discover, or address misconduct.
Under 41 U.S.C. § 4712, personal services contractors as well as employees of contractors, subcontractors, grantees, or subgrantees may file a complaint with OIG, who will investigate the matter unless they determine that the complaint is frivolous, fails to allege a violation of the prohibition against whistleblower reprisal, or has been addressed in another proceeding.
OIG’s investigation is then presented to the head of the executive agency who evaluates the facts of the investigation and can order the contractor, subcontractor, grantee, or subgrantee Award Number: 24-DG-11052021-215
to take remedial action, such as reinstatement or back pay.
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 3.903, Whistleblower Protections for Contractor Employees, Policy, prohibits government contractors from retaliating against a contract worker for making a protected disclosure related to the contract. FAR Subpart
3.909-1 prohibits the Government from using funds for a contract with an entity that requires its employees or subcontractors to sign internal confidentiality statements prohibiting or restricting disclosures of fraud, waste, or abuse to designated persons. This prohibition does not contravene agreements pertaining to classified information. The regulation also requires contracting officers to insert FAR clause 52.203-17, Contractor Employee Whistleblower Rights and Requirement to Inform Employees of Whistleblower Rights, in all solicitations and contracts that exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold as defined in FAR Subpart 3.908.
This clause requires notification to contractor employees that they are subject to the whistleblower rights and remedies referenced in 41 U.S.C. § 4712.
In order to make a complaint alleging any of the violations mentioned above, one should complete the OIG Hotline form located at: https://www.usda.gov/oig/hotline. For additional information, they may also visit the WPC’s webpage at: https://www.usda.gov/oig/wpc or they may directly contact the WPC at [email protected].
