WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS

COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS
Councilmember Martiz: Councilmember Martiez shared that she looks forward to the new audio/ visual system. I know it’s going to elevate the experience for our residents, vendors, and partners trying to stay engaged. She appreciated the help from the City Manager’s office regarding Coyote sightings in Huntington Park and appreciated getting a flyer out, so residents can keep themselves and their pets safe. There is an understanding that Huntington Park Animal Control won’t do anything about coyotes but wants to make sure that officers out on the field know what kind of support they need and can offer to the community. Wants to take an opportunity to continue talking about animal control in the city. She also appreciates the animal spay and neuter event that we are holding with the community because those events are very important.

Councilmember Macias: Councilmember Macias said thank you to everyone and have a good night.

Councilmember Flores: Councilmember Flores wanted to give a shoutout to Parks and Rec staff, I know the department is going to have a busy couple of weeks Vice Mayor Sanabria: Vice Mayor Sanabria wanted to say thank you all! Staff is here every single day; we count on you and the work that you all do. I really do appreciate all the work that you have done. The fact that we don’t have many complaints demonstrates just how much work you are all putting into every single day.

Mayor Martinez: Thank you for making sure we’re here safe. Wanted to bring up an issue that was brought up by the City Manager. Mayor Martinez visited the Rita parking garage on Sunday and there was a lot of trash. Sometimes there are issues that we see it, but we don’t do anything about it. I know the City Manager will be addressing the issue with staff and ensuring we find solutions. Mayor emphasized the benefit about being districted is that it gives every councilmember the opportunity to be accountable to your neighborhood. If you see issues, try to address those issues with the City, and ensure we keep our city clean.

CR-05 - Goals and Outcomes
Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan.

91.520(a)
The City of Huntington Park is a direct recipient of HUD’s Community Planning and Development formula grant. Each program year, the City of Huntington Park (City) is required to submit a Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) detailing the expenditures it has accomplished with federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds. The 2025-2026 program year spanning July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026 is the City’s first year reporting period of its Five-Year 2025- 2029 Consolidated Plan (Con Plan). In addition, the CAPER will report on the expenditures and accomplishments achieved by the City with Community Development Block Grant Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) funds as authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, enacted in March 2020 and programmed in the City’s 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan.

As an entitlement grantee, the City receives CDBG and HOME funds on an annual basis from HUD. The City allocates these funds each program year via its Annual Action Plan to eligible activities that address the City’s Five-Year Strategic Plan towards addressing the community’s needs, especially its low- and moderate-income population. During the 2025-2026 program year, a total of $544,838 was received in CDBG funds. An additional $463,865.60 was available as carryover funds, bringing the total CDBG funds available to $1,008,703.60. A total of $7,788 was received in HOME funds. An additional $3,821,548.19 was available as carryover funds, bringing the total funds available to $3,829,336.19. Lastly, the City utilized CDBG-CV funds to implement activities that prepared for, prevented, and responded to Coronavirus pandemic.

CDBG:

The City’s CDBG allocation was used to carry out activities that meet the following goals from the Con Plan
• CDBG - Provided Needed Community Services to LMI Persons. • CDBG - Provided Fair Housing services
• CDBG – Improve Public Facilities
HOME:

The City’s HOME allocation was used to carry out the Home Repair Program and the development of HOME affordable units that supported the following Con Plan goal:
• HOME - Preserve Existing & Create New Affordable Housing, CAPER 5
CDBG-CV:

The City’s CDBG-CV funds were used to fund activities that responded to the community needs after the COVID-19 outbreak. The City supported the following objectives:
• CDBG-CV – Provided Hybrid learning assistance program to students who were negatively impacted by COVID-19
Comparison of the proposed versus actual outcomes for each outcome measure submitted with the consolidated plan and explain, if applicable, why progress was not made toward meeting goals and objectives. 91.520(g)
In FY 2025/26, the City used CDBG funds to prioritize essential community services for low- to moderateincome (LMI) individuals through public services programs and infrastructure improvement projects.

The City partners with the Fair Housing Foundation to provide fair housing services to its residents. In this reporting period, the Fair Housing Foundation provided landlord/tenant counseling, mediations, and assistance with discrimination complaints, investigations, and resolutions. It also conducted education and outreach activities.

A portion of the City’s CDBG public service funds supported the After School and Senior Programs. The After School Program offered homework assistance, a nutrition program, recreational activities, and educational opportunities for youth living in Huntington Park. The Senior Program aimed to promote a healthier lifestyle among older adults (ages 62 and up) through educational workshops, organized physical activities, excursions, and recreational events.

The City allocated CDBG-CV public service funds to the Hybrid Learning Program, which served youth in grades K-12 affected by COVID-19. The program offered additional support through tutoring in reading and writing, mathematics instruction from credentialed teachers, and STEM classes.

With CDBG and CDBG-CV funding, the City began work on the Keller Park Improvement Project. The project includes installing new playground equipment with a rubber surface, remodeling the existing restroom, and adding new benches to the existing shelter. This project is scheduled for completion in October 2026.

Lastly, the City used HOME funds to continue the Housing Rehabilitation Program. The Program provides financial assistance to eligible low- and moderate-income homeowners to address health, safety, code, and accessibility deficiencies in their homes.

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

The City’s allocation of funds is determined by several factors, including priority needs, objectives from the Consolidated Plan, and available financial resources. The FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan focuses on public services, a suitable living environment for low- and very low-income households, seniors, persons with special needs, and individuals experiencing homelessness, and facility improvements in LMI areas.

Each of the CDBG- and HOME-funded activities addressed specific high-priority objectives identified in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan. Additionally, the Council evaluates the highest needs alongside available resources and the specific goals that must be achieved. Funding is then allocated to agencies that submit proposals aligning with the goals and objectives outlined in the City’s Consolidated Plan.

The City utilizes all its CDBG funds for projects and programs operated citywide. CDBG funds were allocated to activities targeted to the most-needy neighborhoods: those census tracts where 51% or more of the residents are low- or moderate-income.

In FY 2025, the City spent its CDBG funds towards general CDBG administration, the After School Program for low- and moderate-income persons, the Senior Program for the special needs population, the Fair Housing Foundation for Fair Housing needs, and the infrastructure improvement program to upgrade Keller Park.

The City allocated 100% of its HOME funds towards meeting housing needs in the City. The activity included the Home Repair Program.

As part of the CDBG-Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) supplemental funds to prepare, prevent, and respond to the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), the City received an allocation of $1,435,846. During FY 2025, the City amended its 2019-2020 Annual Action Plan to program the remaining $318,823.09 of CDBG-CV funds towards the Keller Park Improvement project. Additionally, the City continues to program the Hybrid Learning Center. The City has expended about $1,364,058.24 of CDBG-CV funds thus far.

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

The City's poverty rate for FY 2025–2026 was 17.89%, and its per capita income (PCI) was $19,218. Based on HUD's determination that the City is a fiscally distressed jurisdiction, the City qualified for a 100% reduction of the HOME match requirement. Therefore, the City had no HOME match liability during the reporting period.

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

To meet its affordable housing goals, the City used HOME funds.

Home Repair Program
The HOME funds were utilized for the Housing Rehabilitation Program, which aims to bring homes up to health and safety standards. As the City’s housing stock ages, an increasing number of units may require rehabilitation to remain safe and livable. This issue is particularly concerning for low- and moderateincome homeowners, who often lack the financial resources to maintain their properties effectively.

Through the Housing Rehabilitation Program, five (5) homeowners received assistance in rehabilitating CAPER 17
their homes. The City is actively conducting outreach to serve more residents of Huntington Park.

Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.

The City's 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan has identified the preservation and creation of affordable housing as a top priority. The Home Repair Program will continue to assist low- to moderate-income residents by providing support for health and safety repairs in their homes. In addition, once completed in FY 2026, Amada Homes will offer nine affordable housing units for families earning at or below 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI). The City continues to work closely with departments and nonprofit organizations to encourage input on community needs.

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

1. CDBG: After School Program: provided services to 35 youth.

2. CDBG: Senior Program: provided services to 196 senior citizens.

3. HOME: Housing Rehabilitation: 5 households
Narrative Information
As previously mentioned, once completed in FY 2026/27, Amada Homes will offer nine affordable housing units for families earning at or below 80% of the AMI. The City is confident that these efforts will help it achieve its housing goals in FY 2026/27. Additionally, the City collaborates with the Fair Housing Foundation, an organization that assists residents in addressing landlord-tenant issues. They ensure that residents are informed about their housing rights through a telephone hotline, community workshops, and informative handouts. These services are aimed at reducing evictions and foreclosures while preserving unsubsidized affordable housing units.

The City actively monitors and pursues federal, state, and local funding opportunities to support and maintain affordable housing within the community.

CAPER 18
CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c) Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending homelessness through:

Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
Through the City’s Measure-A funds, they are to collaborate with the Salvation Amy Bell Shelter. The funds will support the operation of six (6) interim housing beds at the Salvation Army Bell Shelter for unaccompanied adults. The funding will contribute to the operating costs of these beds based on an estimated bed rate of $89 per night. The project aims to provide temporary shelter to individuals experiencing homelessness, with an expected length of stay of up to 180 days per participant. The primary goal of the interim housing project is to facilitate transitions from interim housing to permanent housing placements.

The City supports the efforts of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), whose mission is to drive a collaborative strategic vision to create solutions to homelessness grounded in hope, compassion, and community. As the lead agency for the Los Angeles Continuum of Care, LAHSA coordinates and administers federal, state, county, and local funding to support emergency shelter, interim housing, permanent housing, outreach, and supportive services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Through its partnerships with local governments, nonprofit service providers, and community organizations, LAHSA plays a critical role in coordinating the regional response to homelessness and connecting vulnerable populations to housing and supportive services.

In addition, the City of Huntington Park Police Department (HPPD) continues to work with the Southeast Regional Mental Evaluation Team (SERMET), a successful mental health and homeless outreach partnership with the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health. SERMET facilitates for police officers and mental health clinicians to work together, to provide support and resources to the mentally ill and homeless population in the community. Although SERMET is not funded with CDBG or HOME funds, the program supports the City's broader goals of addressing homelessness, expanding access to supportive services, and improving outcomes for residents experiencing mental health crises.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City addresses the needs of the homeless and other persons who need shelter by taking part in programs operated by public agencies. Even though there are no emergency shelters located in Huntington Park, a regional shelter is located just adjacent to the City of Bell. The Bell Shelter offers programs that include case management, substance abuse rehabilitation, counseling, on-site health care and medical referrals, computer and job training search programs, veterans’ reintegration programs, and life skills classes. Adult educational and ESL classes are offered as well through the LA Unified School District (LAUSD). The County of Los Angeles Department of Mental Health provides services through CAPER 19
various agencies throughout the County.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs In addition to the Huntington Park Police Department (HPPD) partnership with the Southeast Regional Mental Evaluation Team (SERMET), a 55-room motel was converted into 24 apartments known as the Mosaic Gardens at Huntington Park. Apartments serve as a home for low–income families and transitionage youth ages 18-24 receiving services from the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (LACDMH).

Concord Huntington Park features 162 affordable units for seniors, acquired in late 2022 by Redwood Housing for major renovations and sustainability initiatives. These apartments are supported by a projectbased Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contract that covers 95% of the apartments.

These strides in affordable housing for various populations highlight a proactive approach for housing needs, specifically through supportive housing for vulnerable populations. These efforts reflect a commitment to a more inclusive and resilient community and highlight the prioritization of the unique needs within the City.

Lastly, the City continued to contract with Fair Housing Foundation to provide a wide range of fair housing services to ensure equal housing opportunities for its residents. Their services include tenant and landlord workshops, virtual counseling, walk-in clinics, outreach and education.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The City refers individuals in need to one of the nearby shelters or programs administered by homeless service agencies. For example, The Salvation Army will continue to provide transportation assistance to those individuals who wish to proceed to the Bell regional shelter or any other shelters in neighboring communities. Resources may also include supportive housing, transitional housing, and unique programs geared towards a specific need. Connecting residents with the tools to succeed can help prevent homelessness.

Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i) The city has made the following progress in removing public sector impediments to affordable housing:
• Through its Density Bonus/Affordable Housing ordinance, providing a density bonus and one additional regulatory incentive in exchange for the inclusion of affordable units. The ordinance identifies specific regulatory incentives that may be granted, including decreased parking standards, increased height, and reduced setbacks, among other items. Units must remain affordable for at least 30 years, or where Redevelopment funds are involved, 45 years for ownership units and 55 years for rental units.
• Under Government Code Section 65915-65918, a density increase over the otherwise maximum allowable residential density under the Municipal Code is available to developers who agree to construct housing developments with units affordable to low- or moderate-income households or senior citizen housing development.
• The City’s Zoning Ordinance permits zero lot line/small lot developments within the RH and R-M zoning districts, to add standards for small lot developments. The standards act as an alternative to attached housing in multi-family districts. By allowing smaller lot sizes, the ordinance facilitates the development and reduces development costs.
• The City’s Zoning Code establishes modified development standards to facilitate the provision of senior housing (age 55+). Senior housing is permitted at densities up to 225 units per gross acre within the Senior Citizen Housing Overlay. In addition, a reduced parking ratio of one space for every two guest rooms is provided.
• The City’s Zoning Code regulates the conversion of rental units to condominiums through a Conditional Use Permit process as a means of managing the undesirable aspects of conversion projects on tenants and the stock of rental housing in the community. Prior to approval, the Commission must find the following:
• Project will not adversely affect the supply and availability of rental housing • At least 25% of the project’s tenants qualify for the purchase of units • Maximum occupancy of one tenant
• Minimum unit size of 150 square feet
• Toilet and sink in room separate from living space
CAPER 22
• If complete bathrooms not provided in each unit, shared showers to be provided on each floor • If kitchens not provided in each unit, common kitchen facility shall be provided on each floor • Management Plan submitted for review with Conditional Use Permit • The City has amended its Zoning Ordinance to permit emergency shelters with up to 30 beds in the MPD zone by right and emergency shelters with more than 30 beds, subject to a CUP. • The City adopted a Reasonable Accommodation Ordinance in which the purpose is to provide individuals with disabilities reasonable accommodation in regulations and procedures to ensure equal access to housing, and to facilitate the development of housing.

Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City of Huntington Park has developed long-term strategies, activities, and funding sources to achieve goals in housing and community development services for the benefit of its residents. • The City partners with local non-profits who provide services to Huntington Park residents to meet as many basic needs as possible, as noted in section CR-25. • The City’s zoning ordinance offers density bonuses and other development incentives to encourage development of housing units for low income households. • The City leverages state funding sources, Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) with HOME ARP funds to build new non congregate shelters.
• Residents can utilize the City’s CalHome funds through the First Time Home Buyer Program towards downpayment for their first home.

Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The prevention of childhood lead poisoning and the protection of residents are emphasized in the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X). The City ensures that lead prevention is integrated as part of the City’s Home Repair Program.

During the application process, every applicant is provided with English or Spanish Pamphlets highlighting the dangers of lead and asbestos poisoning. For homes built before 1978, lead and asbestos testing is conducted through Barr and Clark. These reports are provided to homeowners and become a part of the scope of work for homeowners. Contractors for the home must address all deteriorated lead paint and asbestos in the home and provide a certificate of clearance.

The Home Repair Program coordinates the testing and abatement of lead and asbestos in their home.

When a lead and asbestos -hazard is present, the contractor is required to hire OSHA licensed subcontractor to treat the hazard. During the application process of the Home Repair Program, each applicant is given lead and asbestos safety brochures.

CAPER 23
Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City of Huntington Park’s strategy to reduce the number of families living in poverty focuses on creating new, affordable housing, expanding homeless services for at-risk populations, and providing public and social services.

The City allocated CDBG resources to support the public service program to benefit low-to-moderateincome residents. The CDBG entitlement funds have a maximum cap of 15% to provide public service programs that promote the well-being of residents. In addition, the City funded fair housing services to promote equal housing opportunity, prevent housing discrimination, and assist residents in accessing and maintaining safe and suitable housing, thereby supporting long-term housing stability for low- and moderate-income households.

The City will also expand its partnerships with local service providers, housing developers, and the private sector to provide affordable housing, case management services, and community programs.

Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The Community Development Department is highly collaborative between code enforcement, planning, building and safety, and grants divisions. Strong City departments serve as anchors in the administration of HUD grant programs. While the grants division is mainly responsible for administering HUD funds and ensuring compliance with federal regulations, open communication between the divisions is necessary to ensure the success of activities. For example, the grants division collaborates with the code enforcement and planning division to administer its Home Repair Program to ensure that all health and safety standards are met. For affordable housing development, success relies heavily on checking in with planning and building and safety to ensure that the permitting and construction process is streamlined.

Additionally, the Community Development Department collaborates with non-profit agencies, advocacy groups, developers, and neighborhood organizations. The City encourages agencies to participate in its annual Request for Proposal to apply for funding for programs that primarily benefit low- and moderateincome residents. Housing programs and services are regularly promoted through public notices, workshops, meetings, and digital platforms by the department.

Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The City’s Community Development Department maintains collaboration between local service providers, City departments, and regional agencies to address community and housing needs. Over the years, the City has collaborated with the Huntington Park Police, Parks and Recreation Department, and Public Works Department to coordinate the delivery of housing, social services, and public facilities improvement. Non-profit service providers like Inner City Visions, the Salvation Army, and the Los Angeles CAPER 24
Homeless Services Authority are the City’s partners in addressing homeless needs. The City does not own public housing and HCV for Huntington Park residents are administered by LACDA. The City recognizes that coordination between all partners is instrumental in addressing the most urgent community needs.

Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a) The City remains committed to affirmatively furthering fair housing by promoting equal housing opportunity and reducing barriers to fair housing choice. Although HUD no longer requires jurisdictions to prepare a standalone Analysis of Impediments (AI) as part of the Consolidated Planning process, the City continues to identify and address fair housing issues through its Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, and ongoing community engagement.

During FY 2025/26, the City funded fair housing services with CDBG funds to provide residents with fair housing education, landlord-tenant counseling, investigation and referral of housing discrimination complaints, and outreach regarding housing rights and responsibilities. These services help ensure that residents have access to housing information, understand their rights under federal and state fair housing laws, and receive assistance in resolving potential housing discrimination issues.

The City also continued to evaluate housing needs and barriers identified through its planning process and coordinated with regional housing providers and community organizations to promote equal access to safe, decent, and affordable housing for all residents, particularly low- and moderate-income households and members of protected classes.

City Council Agenda Report

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

Huntington Park, CA 90255
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:

APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS FOR PUBLIC OUTREACH AND VOTER EDUCATION

REGARDING THE CITY COUNCIL TERM LIMITS BALLOT MEASURE
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:

1. Appropriate $150,000 from the unappropriated General Fund balance to Contractual Services Account No. 0001050 601100 for professional services related to public outreach and voter education on the City Council Term Limits Ballot Measure scheduled for the November 3, 2026, General Municipal Election; and

2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ), for professional public outreach and voter education services, evaluate qualifications, and return to the City Council with a recommended firm and agreement for consideration and award.

BACKGROUND
The City Council has placed a measure on the November 3, 2026, General Municipal Election ballot that would amend the Huntington Park Municipal Code to establish a lifetime limit of two terms for City Council Members. The measure establishes provisions regarding partial terms and applies prospectively in accordance with applicable law.

Because the measure proposes a significant policy change affecting future service on the City Council, staff recommends engaging a qualified professional firm to help the City communicate factual, neutral information to Huntington Park residents before the election.

APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS FOR PUBLIC OUTREACH AND VOTER EDUCATION

REGARDING THE CITY COUNCIL TERM LIMITS BALLOT MEASURE
August 25, 2026

PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
On June 23, 2026, the City Council took action to place a measure before Huntington Park voters that would amend the Huntington Park Municipal Code to establish a twoterm lifetime limit for City Council Members.

The recommended action appropriates funding and authorizes staff to initiate a competitive process to identify a qualified professional firm to assist the City with public outreach and voter education regarding the ballot measure.

Given the significance of the proposed change and the need to provide residents with clear, accurate, accessible, and legally compliant information, staff recommends retaining a qualified firm with experience in public-sector communications, community engagement, and voter education.

Following Council approval, staff will issue an RFQ, evaluate responding firms based on qualifications and relevant experience, and identify a preferred firm. Staff will then return to the City Council with a recommended consultant, proposed scope of services, and professional services agreement for consideration and award.

No consultant agreement or specific outreach program is being approved as part of this action.

LEGAL REQUIREMENT
Public resources may be used to provide factual, neutral information about a ballot measure but may not be used to advocate for or against its passage.

All outreach and educational materials produced under this appropriation will strictly adhere to FPPC Regulation 18420.1 and applicable provisions of the Political Reform Act to ensure communications remain strictly factual, balanced, and educational without express advocacy.

Any professional services and public communications undertaken with these funds must comply with applicable laws governing the use of public resources for ballot measure education. The City Attorney will review the proposed scope of services and resulting agreement before the City Council considers it.

APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS FOR PUBLIC OUTREACH AND VOTER EDUCATION

REGARDING THE CITY COUNCIL TERM LIMITS BALLOT MEASURE
August 25, 2026

FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
Approval of the recommended action will appropriate $150,000 from the unappropriated General Fund balance to Contractual Services Account No. 0001050 601100 for professional services associated with voter education and public outreach regarding the City Council Term Limits Ballot Measure.

The appropriation establishes the maximum funding available for these services. The RFQ process will determine the actual contract amount and scope of work, and staff will present it to the City Council for consideration before award. The appropriation reserves available funding for the program; however, no funds will be encumbered or disbursed until the City Council formally awards a professional services agreement.

CONCLUSION
Approval of the recommended action will provide the necessary funding and authorization for staff to initiate an RFQ process to identify a qualified firm to provide professional voter education and public outreach services regarding the City Council Term Limits Ballot Measure.

Staff will return to the City Council with a recommended firm, proposed scope of services, and professional services agreement for consideration and award.

City Council Agenda Report
August 25, 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 OF RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE AD HOC RESIDENTIAL

PERMIT PARKING COMMITTEE
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 2026-XX, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Park, California, establishing an Ad Hoc Residential Permit Parking Committee and defining its purpose, membership, scope, and duration.

PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
The voters of the City of Huntington Park authorized a citywide residential permit parking program pursuant to Measure PP. To ensure the program is developed and implemented in an efficient, equitable, and structured manner, the City Manager has proposed the creation of a temporary Ad Hoc Committee.

The proposed Ad Hoc Residential Permit Parking Committee will be narrowly focused on reviewing forthcoming parking study recommendations and developing specific policy recommendations for the City Council's consideration. The scope of the Committee's review will include permit eligibility and allocation, geographic boundaries or zones, pricing and discounts, visitor permits, enforcement policies, program implementation and phasing, and other directly related permit-program policies.

To comply strictly with the Ralph M. Brown Act (California Government Code Section 54952(e)), the Committee is structured to operate as a Brown Act-exempt ad hoc committee. The voting membership will consist solely of two City Councilmembers appointed by the Mayor, which constitutes less than a quorum of the legislative body. The City Manager, Chief of Police, and Community Development Director, or their designees, will serve in an ex-officio, non-voting advisory capacity to provide technical and operational support.

The Committee will not have a fixed meeting schedule and will convene on an as-needed basis. Furthermore, it will operate strictly in an advisory capacity with no final decisionmaking authority. The Committee will not take any official votes or actions that bind the City to any legal or financial commitments. The Committee will automatically dissolve upon presenting its final policy recommendations to the full City Council, which is anticipated to occur no later than December 31, 2026.

LEGAL REQUIREMENT
California Government Code Section 54952(e) exempts from the Ralph M. Brown Act any advisory committee composed solely of the members of the legislative body that are less than a quorum, provided it does not have continuing subject matter jurisdiction or a meeting schedule fixed by charter, ordinance, resolution, or formal action. The proposed Resolution has been drafted by the City Attorney to ensure strict compliance with these statutory exemptions.

FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the adoption of this Resolution establishing the Ad Hoc Committee. Any future policy recommendations developed by the Committee that require municipal funding will be brought back to the City Council for review and approval.

CONCLUSION
The establishment of the Ad Hoc Residential Permit Parking Committee will provide a focused, advisory review of the parking study and facilitate the successful development and implementation of the Measure PP parking program. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed Resolution.

Respectfully submitted,

RICARDO REYES
City Manager

The Committee is strictly advisory in nature, possesses no final decision-making authority, and shall not take any official votes or actions that bind or tie the City to any legal or financial commitments.

City Council Agenda Report

August 25, 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:

SELECTION OF HIGHEST-RANKED PROPOSER AND AUTHORIZATION TO

NEGOTIATE AN AGREEMENT FOR DEMAND RESPONSE TRANSPORTATION (DIAL-A-RIDE) SERVICES
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:

1. Select Administrative Services Cooperative, Inc., doing business as Fiesta Taxi (“Fiesta”), as the highest-ranked proposer for the City’s Demand Response Transportation (Dial-A-Ride) Services; and

2. Authorize the City Manager, in consultation with Special Counsel, to negotiate the final scope, compensation, and terms of a Professional Services Agreement with Fiesta, with the final agreement returning to the City Council for consideration and approval.

PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
The recommended action will formally conclude the competitive selection phase of the City’s procurement for Dial-A-Ride services and authorize staff to proceed with contract negotiations with the highest-ranked proposer.

The City’s Dial-A-Ride Program provides demand-response transportation services to qualifying senior residents and persons with disabilities. Following the conclusion of services provided by the City’s previous contractor, Express Transportation Services (“ETS”), the City engaged Fiesta on an interim basis beginning April 13, 2026, to maintain continuity of this essential transportation service while the City conducted a competitive procurement for a long-term provider.

On May 14, 2026, the City issued a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) for Demand Response Transportation Services. The solicitation contemplated evaluating and

SELECTION OF HIGHEST-RANKED PROPOSER AND AUTHORIZATION TO

NEGOTIATE AN AGREEMENT FOR DEMAND RESPONSE TRANSPORTATION (DIAL-A-RIDE) SERVICES
August 25, 2026

selecting a preferred proposer, followed by negotiating the final scope and fair and reasonable compensation before City Council approved an agreement.

After reviewing the proposals, the City invited the qualified firms to participate in interviews. The final interview scores were as follows:

Proposer Score
Administrative Services Cooperative, Inc
dba Fiesta Taxi
40 AVTS 36
ACE 30
Fiesta received the highest score and demonstrated the strongest overall combination of operational readiness, technical capability, relevant experience, and value to the City.

Factors supporting its evaluation included demonstrated response times, established local operational capacity, substantial dispatch infrastructure, experience providing municipal Dial-A-Ride services, familiarity with National Transit Database (“NTD”) reporting requirements, accessible transportation capabilities, and a demonstrated understanding of the City’s service requirements.

Fiesta also demonstrated the infrastructure necessary to support reliable service delivery, including dispatch and customer communication capabilities, vehicle inspection and maintenance procedures, and the ability to respond to service disruptions and peak demand. These factors provided staff with confidence in Fiesta’s ability to meet the operational requirements of the City’s Dial-A-Ride Program.

Approval of the recommended actions does not approve a Professional Services Agreement or establish the final compensation for the services. Rather, it authorizes the City Manager, in consultation with Special Counsel, to negotiate the final agreement with Fiesta. Following successful negotiations, the proposed agreement will return to the City Council for consideration and approval.

INTERIM SERVICES
Fiesta has provided interim Dial-A-Ride services since April 13, 2026, to prevent an interruption in service following the conclusion of the City’s relationship with ETS.

Public Works and Finance are currently reviewing and reconciling the invoices, trip records, and supporting documentation associated with this interim period. The recommended actions in this report authorize no payment of the outstanding interim amounts.

As part of the contract negotiations, staff and Special Counsel will determine the appropriate contractual mechanism and final reconciled amount for the interim services.

The interim amount and associated authorization will be presented to the City Council

SELECTION OF HIGHEST-RANKED PROPOSER AND AUTHORIZATION TO

NEGOTIATE AN AGREEMENT FOR DEMAND RESPONSE TRANSPORTATION (DIAL-A-RIDE) SERVICES
August 25, 2026

together with the final negotiated agreement. The current negotiating draft similarly treats the interim period separately from prospective compensation and requires verification of services and costs before Council approval.

FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
The recommended actions have no immediate fiscal impact. The action before the City Council authorizes selection and negotiation only and does not authorize expenditures or payment.

The financial terms of the prospective agreement, including the not-to-exceed compensation and the reconciled amount associated with interim services, will be presented to the City Council for consideration as part of the final agreement. The DialA-Ride Program is primarily funded through Proposition A Local Return funds administered by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

CONCLUSION
The competitive procurement process resulted in Fiesta receiving the highest evaluation score among the three proposers. Staff recommends that the City Council formally select Fiesta as the highest-ranked proposer and authorize the City Manager, in consultation with Special Counsel, to proceed with negotiations. Any final agreement, compensation authorization, and resolution of the interim service period will return to the City Council for approval.

Respectfully submitted,

RICARDO REYES
City Manager
