Agenda Report – Building Code Ordinance
For City Council And Successor Agency Meeting of February 10, 2026

Page 2 of 4 ends

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The State of California Building Standards Commission (“BSC”) adopts mandatory statewide building laws on a triennial basis. In January 2025, the BSC adopted the latest model codes with amendments based on California requirements. The State Building Laws were published on July 1, 2025.

Local jurisdictions are encouraged to adopt the State Building Laws within 180 days of publication and to adopt amendments based on local geographic, topographic, climatic, and environmental conditions. The State Building Laws became effective statewide on January 1, 2026.

Since incorporation, the City of La Puente has adopted the County of Los Angeles Building Laws, which amend and adopt the State Building Laws. On November 15, 2022, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors adopted Titles 26 (Building), 27 (Electrical), 28 (Plumbing), 29 (Mechanical), 30 (Residential), 31 (Green Building Standards), and Title 33 (Existing Building Code). These titles adopt the California Building Laws with amendments and include findings based on local climatic, topographic, and geologic conditions. The findings of reasonable necessity for these modifications are included as Attachment D. Copies of the County ordinances are available for public review in the City Clerk’s Office.

Because the State Building Laws became effective on January 1, 2026, City Council consideration of an Urgency Ordinance is required to ensure the regulations take effect immediately upon adoption. In addition, a non-urgency ordinance is being introduced for adoption at a duly noticed public hearing on February 24, 2026.

The non-urgency ordinance would take effect 30 days after the second reading, on March 26, 2026.

The BSC adopted the same group of model building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, residential, and green building standards codes that were adopted in 2022. No significant code changes are proposed in this code cycle. In accordance with AB 130, local amendments are limited to those currently in the Municipal Code and will be carried forward with the 2025 codes.The revisions to Title 8 of the La Puente Municipal Code recommended by staff as a result of the new model codes include the following:

LA PUENTE, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING AN ORDINANCE REPEALING SECTION

10.10.080 (ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS) OF CHAPTER 10.10 (RESIDENTIAL ZONES), ARTICLE 2 (ZONES, ALLOWABLE USES, AND DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN STANDARDS), TITLE 10 (ZONING) OF THE LA PUENTE MUNICIPAL CODE, IN ITS ENTIRELY, AND ADOPTING A REVISED SECTION 10.10.080 (ACCESSORY

DWELLING UNITS AND JUNIOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS) TO ENSURE

CONSISTENCY WITH STATE LAW

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
At the January 13, 2026, City Council meeting, Ordinance No. 26-992 was introduced for first reading. Recent state law changes simplified the development of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs) and require local jurisdictions to align with state standards. The proposed ordinance amending the La Puente Municipal Code updates the City’s zoning provisions to conform with Government Code Sections 66310 through 66342.

The following amendments are proposed to the City’s ADU Ordinance to ensure compliance with current state law. Specifically, Section 10.10.080 will be repealed and replaced in its entirely with the following language:

10.10.080. Adoption of Provisions of State Law Related to Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Dwelling Units.

Sections 66310 – 66342 of the California Government Code are hereby adopted and made a part of this ordinance as though fully set forth herein.

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
The notice of public hearing was published in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune on January 30, 2026, in accordance with the noticing requirements of Government Code Sections 50022.3 and 6066.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed zoning ordinance text amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to Public Resources Code §21080.17, CEQA does not apply to ordinances implementing Government Code §65852.2, which governs Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior ADUs (JADUs).

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council: (1) open the public hearing and receive public input; (2) adopt Ordinance No. 26-992, entitled, “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of La Puente, California, amending Title 10 (Zoning) of the La Puente Municipal Code (“LPMC”) Chapter 10.10 to amend Accessory Dwelling Unit (“ADU”) Provisions to comply with State Law; and (2) approve and adopt the Notice of Exemption.

ORDINANCE NO. 26-992

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA
PUENTE, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING TITLE 10 (ZONING) OF THE LA PUENTE MUNICIPAL CODE (“LPMC”) CHAPTER 10.10 TO AMEND
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT (“ADU”) PROVISIONS TO COMPLY

WITH STATE LAW
WHEREAS, pursuant to the City’s police power, as granted broadly under Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution, the City Council has the authority to enact and enforce ordinances and resolutions for the public peace, morals, and welfare of the City and its residents; and
WHEREAS, consistent with such authority, the City enacted the La Puente Municipal Code (“LPMC”) and La Puente Zoning Code (Title 10 of the LPMC) to, among other things, regulate the location and nature of land uses in the City; and WHEREAS, on February 13, 2018, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 18-951, which amended Title 10 (Zoning) of the LPMC to comply with recent changes in state law related to Accessory Dwelling Units; and
WHEREAS, in order to further comply with state law, the City Council finds it necessary to amend its municipal code to ensure that its provisions conform to and align exactly with the requirements set forth under Sections 66310 – 66342 of the California Government Code; and
WHEREAS, this Ordinance is intended to promote consistency between the City’s Municipal Code and state law, eliminate any conflicts or discrepancies, and ensure enforceability in accordance with state legal standards.

NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA PUENTE HEREBY FINDS, DETERMINES AND ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. The City Council finds that the above Recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.

Section 2. CEQA. The proposed zoning ordinance text amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), both statutorily and categorically. Pursuant to Public Resources Code § 21080.17, CEQA does not apply to the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county that implements Government Code §§ 65852.2 and 65852.22, which govern Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs). Accordingly, the proposed ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA because it implements the State’s ADU and JADU laws.

In addition to the statutory exemption, the proposed ordinance is categorically exempt under the Class 3 exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines § 15303. The Class 3 exemption applies to the construction and location of new, small structures and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another. Section 15303 specifically lists appurtenant accessory structures and Attachment A
ORDINANCE NO. 26-992 PAGE 2 OF 3 FEBRUARY 10, 2026
garages as examples of activities covered by this exemption. Here, the ordinance qualifies for the Class 3 exemption because it regulates the construction of, and conversion of existing structures into, ADUs and JADUs, which are accessory to a primary dwelling and limited in size.

Section 3. La Puente Municipal Code Amendment. Section 10.10.080 of the LPMC, entitled Accessory Dwelling Units, is hereby repealed and replaced to read as follows:
“10.10.080. Adoption of Provisions of State Law Related to Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Dwelling Units.

Sections 66310 – 66342 of the California Government Code are hereby adopted and made a part of this ordinance as though fully set forth herein.” Section 4. Clerical Errors. The City Council directs the City Clerk to correct any clerical errors found in this Chapter, including, but not limited to, typographical errors, irregular numbering, and incorrect section references.

Section 5. Severability. Should any section, subsection, clause, or provision of this Ordinance for any reason be held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this Ordinance; it being hereby expressly declared that this Ordinance, and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, and phrase hereof would have been prepared, proposed, approved, and ratified irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases be declared invalid, unenforceable, or unconstitutional.

Section 6. Effective Date. In accordance with Government Code § 36937, this Ordinance shall take effect and be in force thirty (30) days its passage and adoption.

Section 7. Publication. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause this ordinance to be published and posted as required by law.

PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 10th day of February, 2026, by the following vote:

Agenda Item No. D.3
To: Mayor and City Council For meeting of: February 10, 2026 From: Bob Lindsey, City Manager
By: Troy Grunklee, CPA, Director of Administrative Services Subject: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 26-5697 AND

AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PERSONNEL SYSTEM FOR FULL-TIME

POSITIONS TO AUTHORIZE FUNDING FOR AN ADDITIONAL FULL-TIME CODE

ENFORCEMENT OFFICER

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City of La Puente, on July 1st of each year, adopts salary resolutions for full-time and part-time employees to authorize positions and salary ranges to ensure adequate staffing for the fiscal year. On May 27, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 25-5939 establishing the number of authorized full-time positions and salary ranges for City employees. The resolution to authorize the full-time positions has been rescinded twice during the fiscal for various updates to the full-time positions including the approval of the MOU between the City and the recognized bargaining unit within the City.

Due to an increase in volume in animal control management, an additional full-time Code Enforcement Officer position is needed to keep up with demand. This position will not only assist with animal control throughout the city, they will work directly with the animal partners to assist in providing services to the residents.

FISCAL IMPACT
The cost for authorizing the Full-Time Code Enforcement Officer for the remainder of the fiscal year would be approximately $37,000 and would be funded using the General Fund (Fund 100).

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-5973, rescinding Resolution No. 26-5697 and approving authorized full-time positions and salary ranges.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. D.4
To: Mayor and City Council For meeting of: February 10, 2026 From: Bob Lindsey, City Manager
By: Abraham Tellez, Director of Development Services
Juan Galvan, Senior Planner
Subject: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE 2026 CITY OF LA PUENTE

LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) requires local jurisdictions to develop, implement, and periodically update a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) identifying potential natural hazards and strategies to reduce risks to life, property, and critical infrastructure. The Hazard Mitigation Plan serves as a planning tool to guide mitigation activities, support capital and infrastructure planning, and maintain eligibility for federal hazard mitigation funding. Federal regulations require hazard mitigation plans to be updated every five years.

The City of La Puente’s most recent Local Hazard Mitigation Plan was approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in 2018. To remain eligible for Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) and other mitigation-related funding, the City Council must adopt the 2026 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan and forward the resolution to allow FEMA to issue a Letter of Approval.

ANALYSIS
In January 2023, the City Council selected Emergency Planning Consultants (EPC), led by Carolyn Harshman, President, to prepare the update to the City’s LHMP. Harshman facilitated the planning process review by the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and review and approval by FEMA.

The Plan was developed with guidance from the City’s Hazard Mitigation Planning Team, which served as the core stakeholder group responsible for developing and reviewing drafts of the Plan, informing the risk assessment, establishing mitigation goals and strategies, and supporting public and stakeholder outreach. The Planning Team consisted of representatives from the Development Services – Planning, Building and Safety, and Public Works Divisions, Community Services, and Los Angeles County Fire Department.

Planning Team members were formally invited to participate in the update process via email in October 2023.

A total of five Planning Team meetings were held before completion of the initial draft of the LHMP. These meetings were structured to maximize collaboration and included discussions related to hazard history and prioritization, City capabilities, ongoing and future mitigation activities, and community outreach opportunities.

Public and stakeholder participation was incorporated into the planning process by making the first draft LHMP available for input during the plan development phase. The public and stakeholders were notified of the Agenda Report – Consideration of a Resolution Adopting the 2026 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan For City Council And Successor Agency Meeting of February 10, 2026

Page 2 of 3 ends

Plan’s availability through multiple outreach channels, including the City’s website, and social media platforms.

The updated LHMP includes a revised Mitigation Actions Matrix that identifies desired and planned mitigation projects, including actions drawn from existing City documents, such as the General Plan and Capital Improvement Program. Compared to the 2018 LHMP, the updated Matrix reflects newly identified mitigation actions, updates to ongoing actions, and completed mitigation measures since the prior plan adoption.

The mitigation strategy supports the following overarching goals:

1. Protect life and property

2. Enhance public awareness and preparedness

3. Preserve natural systems

4. Encourage partnerships and implementation

5. Strengthen emergency services
The LHMP was submitted to Cal OES for review and forwarding to FEMA for an Approvable Pending Adoption which was issued on December 23, 2025. Upon adoption by the City Council and approval by FEMA, the 2026 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan will ensure the City’s continued eligibility for the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program and other mitigation-related funding opportunities. The Plan is intended to be a living document and will be reviewed on an annual basis by Planning Team members to monitor progress and implementation of mitigation actions.

In addition to satisfying federal requirements for the LHMP, the State of California requires actions for the City to maintain eligibility for increased state cost-share on eligible Public Assistance projects. In that regard, according to Assembly Bill No. 2140 (AB 2140), to maintain eligibility the 2026 LHMP must be adopted into the City’s General Plan Safety Element. The same process was followed when the City Council adopted the 2018 LHMP.

Passed in 2006, AB 2140 allows California counties and cities to be considered for additional state cost-share on eligible Public Assistance projects by adopting their current, FEMA-approved LHMP into the Safety Element of their General Plan. This adoption, along with other requirements, makes the county or city eligible to be considered for part or all of its local-share costs on eligible Public Assistance projects to be provided by the state through the California Disaster Assistance Act.

For eligible Public Assistance projects, the typical local (non-federal) cost share is 25% of the total project cost.

CDAA can allow the state to pay up to 18.75% of the nonfederal share, that would otherwise fall upon the county or city, to pay for eligible Public Assistance projects once the legislature has passed a bill allowing additional state funding after a disaster occurs. Upon approval of the legislature, counties and cities that are AB 2140 compliant are also eligible to be considered for the remaining 6.25% local share to be funded by the state, essentially covering the entire local-share cost for eligible Public Assistance projects.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

Executive Summary
The City of La Puente’s Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) is a strategic framework designed to reduce the loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. The primary goal of the HMP is to identify potential hazards, assess their risks, and implement long-term strategies to mitigate their effects on a community. This comprehensive plan involves a systematic process of identifying hazards, evaluating vulnerabilities, and developing actions to minimize the damage and disruption caused by natural hazard events.

Before we go into the details of the planning process, it’s important to define hazard mitigation as actions taken to minimize or eliminate threats associated with hazards.

In 2019, the National Institute of Building Sciences
issued an update to its landmark report “Natural
Hazard Mitigation Saves”. The study analyzed the
benefit cost ratio of a range of mitigation activities
including mitigation planning and building retrofits.

The findings revealed a dramatic return on investment.

For mitigation activities, every dollar spent yielded a six dollar return on avoided losses in the future. For
building retrofits, every dollar spent yielded a four
dollar return on avoided losses in the future.

FEMA’s mitigation website recommends 4 steps in the
overall planning process: Step #1 is to organize the
planning process and resources. Step #2 is to assess
risks and capabilities. Step #3 is to develop a Mitigation Strategy. Step #4 is to Adopt and Implement the Plan.

FEMA’s April 11, 2025, Local Mitigation Planning Policy Guide divides requirements into seven elements
including A - Planning Process, B - Risk Assessment, C
- Mitigation Strategy, D - Plan Maintenance, E - Plan
Update, F - Plan Adoption, G - High Hazard Potential
Dams.

Element A: Planning Process lays out how the plan was
developed, who was involved and what data and
information were used to build the plan. Much of the
content focuses on the robust community outreach process. In developing the HMP, a Planning Team was formed to undertake a detailed analysis of the community’s unique risks and challenges. The Team included department representatives from Development Services Department Divisions including Planning, Building & Safety, and Public Works, Community Services Department, and Los Angeles County Fire Department. The Team met five times with the consultant, contributing to the Initial Draft Plan. In addition to the planning document itself, the Team developed and was actively involved in an aggressive community outreach strategy. As pointed out in the plan, people are the community’s most important asset in need of protection.

Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2026
Executive Summary
- 6 -
The planning process involved collaboration among adjoining local governments and special districts, businesses organization, residents, and other stakeholders to gather data, assess vulnerabilities, and prioritize mitigation actions. The process ensured that the community is better prepared to respond to and recover from disasters, while enhancing overall resilience.

Throughout the entire planning process, the Planning Team kept the public and stakeholders informed of the Team’s progress and opportunities to provide input. These outreach activities began with a project briefing to the City Council in January 2023, followed by press releases, social media postings, solicitations to participate in a mitigation survey, and will provide input to the First Draft Plan.

Once public and stakeholder input is incorporated, the Second Draft Plan will be submitted for a formal review by Cal OES and FEMA. That process will result in FEMA’s issuance of Approvable Pending Adoption. Next, the plan will need to be adopted by the City Council. Following submission of the resolution to adopt the plan, FEMA will issue a Letter of Approval which will grant eligibility for mitigation-related grants for a period of five years. The Planning Team will immediately begin the process of plan implementation which will continue with the tradition of sharing and incorporating input from the public and stakeholders.

Element B: Risk Assessment includes a comprehensive evaluation of the hazard events that could result in significant losses. The assessment includes five key components: identifying hazards, profiling hazards, identifying community assets, analyzing impacts, and summarizing vulnerability.

This comprehensive approach ensures that the City will be better equipped to handle potential emergencies and protect its residents and businesses from future hazard events.

The City of La Puente is approximately 3.48 square miles and is home to approximately 40,000 people. It is primarily a residential community (70%) with multiple types of businesses located primarily along major highways and streets. Industrial land use is less than five percent (5%) of the City’s 3.5 square mile land area.

The demographics presented in the plan provide a detailed profile of the City of La Puente, focusing on population, at-risk groups, and emergency-related infrastructure. As of June 2025, the city has a total population of 36,553, with 9,581 households and a daytime population of 26,810. Children under 18 (7,838) and seniors over 65 (5,307) represent a significant number of vulnerable groups. Additionally, 2,966 households include individuals with disabilities, 396 households lack vehicles, and 9% of households lack internet access—factors that can hinder emergency response and evacuation.

La Puente also exhibits notable linguistic and economic vulnerabilities. While the median household income is $83,496, 11% of households fall below the poverty line. A majority of the population (23,355) speaks Spanish, with over 1,400 residents—primarily seniors—speaking Spanish only or not speaking English well. This language barrier could pose challenges in disseminating emergency information. The average household size is 3.81, and the median age is 37.5. Overall, La Puente has significant concentrations of at-risk populations, and linguistic diversity that underscore the importance of targeted preparedness and response strategies.

Element C: Mitigation Strategy includes a discussion on the plan’s goals as well as the jurisdiction’s existing capabilities to conduct mitigation activities. Also, the Mitigation Actions Matrix identifies 100 projects and policies that will create a more resilient community.

Element D: Plan Maintenance describes a planning process for the Planning Team to use once the plan is adopted and approved. Implementation of the mitigation action items, gathering updates on hazards, and keeping the public and stakeholders involved are the priorities for the 5- year life of the plan.

Element E: Plan Update content is applicable only to plans that are being updated from a previous FEMA-approved version. Required information includes significant changes in the jurisdiction’s built environment as well as changes in the jurisdiction’s priorities since the last version of the plan.

Element F: Plan Adoption identifies the process and documentation involved in the plan’s adoption by the City Council.

Element G: High Hazard Potential Dams is an optional section of the plan for those jurisdictions with critical infrastructure like dams and levees. This Element is required if a jurisdiction seeks funding from the High Hazard Potential Dams (HHPD) Grant Program. Since the City of La Puente is not planning to seek monies through HHPD, this Element was not included.

Introduction
This Hazard Mitigation (HMP) update was prepared in response to the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000). DMA 2000 (also known as Public Law 106-390) since 2005 has required state and local governments (including special districts and joint powers authorities) to prepare mitigation plans to document their mitigation planning process, and identify hazards, potential losses, mitigation needs, goals, and strategies. This type of planning supplements the City of La Puente’s comprehensive land use planning and emergency management planning programs.

The jurisdiction’s most recent HMP was approved by FEMA in 2018. Once adopted by the City Council and approved by FEMA, the Plan will ensure eligibility for Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) and other funding requiring hazard mitigation plans.

Planning Area
The boundary of the City of La Puente constitutes the planning area and the city government served as what FEMA refers to as the “planning participant.” Therefore, this is a single-jurisdiction plan.

Regulations and Guidance
DMA 2000 was designed to establish a national program for pre-disaster mitigation, streamline disaster relief at the federal and state levels, and control federal disaster assistance costs.

Congress believed these requirements would produce the following benefits:
✓ Reduce loss of life and property, human suffering, economic disruption, and disaster costs.
✓ Prioritize hazard mitigation at the local level with increased emphasis on planning and public involvement, assessing risks, implementing loss reduction measures, and ensuring critical facilities/services survive a disaster.
✓ Promote education and economic incentives to form community-based partnerships and leverage non-federal resources to commit to and implement long-term hazard mitigation activities.

Planning Approach
The four-step planning approach outlined below is from FEMA. It is the approach used by the Planning Team during the plan update.

Graphic A.1: Planning Approach
Source: FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Planning Website
Step 1: Organize the Planning Process and
Resources
At the start, a state, local, tribal nation, or
territorial government should focus on
assembling the resources needed for a
successful mitigation planning process. This
includes securing technical expertise, defining
the planning area, and identifying key
individuals, agencies, neighboring jurisdictions,
businesses, and/or other stakeholders to
participate in the process. The planning
process for local governments and tribal
nations must include opportunities for the public
to comment on the plan.

Step 2: Assess Risks and Capabilities
Next, the state, local, tribal nation, or territorial
government needs to identify the
characteristics and potential consequences of
hazards. It is important to understand what geographic areas the hazards might impact and how people, property, or other assets might be vulnerable. The four basic components of a risk assessment are:
o Hazard identification
o Profiling of hazard events
o Inventory of assets
o Estimation of potential human and economic losses based on the exposure and vulnerability of people, buildings, and infrastructure
Step 3: Develop a Mitigation Strategy
The state, local, tribal nation, or territorial government then sets priorities and develops long-term strategies for avoiding or minimizing the undesired effects of disasters. The strategy is based on an assessment of the unique set of regulatory, administrative, and financial capabilities to undertake mitigation. The mitigation strategy also includes a description of how the mitigation actions will be implemented and administered.

Step 4: Adopt and Implement the Plan
Once FEMA has received proof of adoption from the governing body, the plan will be approved by FEMA. Next, the state, local, tribal nation, or territorial government can bring the mitigation plan to life in a variety of ways, ranging from implementing specific mitigation actions to changing aspects of day-to-day organizational operations. To ensure success, the plan must remain a relevant, living document through routine maintenance. The state, local, tribal nation needs to conduct periodic evaluations to assess changing risks and priorities and make revisions as needed.

Planning Process
Planning Team
Throughout the entire planning process, the departments represented on the Planning Team served as stakeholders while also making a concerted effort to gather input and ideas from other stakeholders and the public.

The City’s Hazard Mitigation Planning Team was the core group of people responsible for:
• Developing and reviewing drafts of the plan
• Informing the risk assessment
• Developing the mitigation goals and strategy
• Submitting the plan for local adoption
• Promoting the project through various community outreach venues The City of La Puente chose to build a Planning Team from city and county departments with expertise about the community’s assets as defined by FEMA to include people, structures (including community lifelines), economy, and other assets. Other assets include natural, historic, and cultural resources as well as activities bringing value to the community. The represented departments included Development Services (Planning, Building & Safety, Public Works Division), and Community Services. The Los Angeles County Fire Department was also represented on the Planning Team.

The Planning Team worked with Emergency Planning Consultants to create the updated plan.

Planning Team members were sent email invitations announcing the purpose of the Team and overall schedule and expectations. The department representatives on the Planning Team served as active stakeholders and contributors to the plan’s update. Throughout the plan development process, the Team confirmed the planning approach, drafted and reviewed content, made revisions, and engaged members of the public. As indicated below, the meetings were designed to maximize contributions from the Team. Insights, opinions, and facts were gathered ranging from hazard history and rankings, capabilities, ongoing and future mitigation activities, and opportunities to engage the public through existing venues and meetings. See Attachments for Planning Team Meeting Minutes.

A total of five Planning Team Meetings gathered vital information and insights. During the first meeting, an initial Hazard Analysis was reviewed and a Community Outreach Strategy developed.

The rest of the meetings reviewed an updated capability assessment, Mitigation Actions Matrix, and results of the community outreach events.

Figure A.1: Comparing Planning Projects
Source: City of La Puente CSE
An Initial Draft Plan was
prepared by the consultant with
considerable input from the
Planning Team. The Initial Draft
Plan was distributed in advance
of Planning Team Meeting #4.

The day of the meeting, the
consultant facilitated a
discussion of the Initial Draft
Plan while soliciting input,
corrections, and other
suggestions from the Planning
Team.

In April 2025, the second
community outreach event
announced the availability of the
Mitigation Survey. Flyers, email,
and social media were used to
inform the public and
stakeholders of the planning
process as well as asking for
participation in the Survey. The
Survey was designed to provide
guidance and insights to the
Planning Team on the hazards
as well as possible mitigation
activities. A dedicated website
was created for the Hazard
Mitigation Plan. As Planning
Team Meetings took place,
minutes and handouts were posted to the website. Planning Team Meeting #5 reviewed the input gathered from the Survey (see Attachments).

Next, the First Draft Plan was ready for notice and distribution to the public and stakeholders. The third outreach event took place in June 2025 which focused on the availability of the First Draft Plan and the Team’s stated desire for input. The Planning Team wanted to ensure gathering as many perspectives as possible. Also, sharing and gathering input served as an excellent means to enlist local champions interested in mitigation opportunities regarding their own homes and businesses.

After documenting the input gathered on the First Draft Plan, the Second Draft Plan was ready for submission to Cal OES and FEMA along with a request for a formal review and a determination of “approvable pending adoption”. Throughout the formal review process, the Planning Team and consultant completed amendments to the Plan as mandated by Cal OES and FEMA.

Upon receipt of FEMA’s Approvable Pending Adoption notice, the Final Draft Plan will be posted in advance of City of La Puente’s City Council public meeting. During the fourth community outreach event, the public and stakeholders will be informed of the City Council meeting through email and social media. The purpose of the meeting will be to provide a public forum where additional comments can be gathered from the Council and attendees. The public meeting will include a presentation of a staff report and PowerPoint outlining the planning process and benefits of hazard mitigation. Staff will request the plan be adopted by the City Council and will follow-up with forwarding a signed resolution to FEMA. Upon receipt of the proof of adoption, FEMA will issue a Letter of Approval.

Community Outreach Strategy
The planning process was powered by City staff, the public and stakeholders from across the private, public and non-governmental sectors. All of these resources were needed to assist with technical expertise, historical knowledge, and insights into hazards and mitigation strategies.

Stakeholder Outreach
The FEMA Handbook defines the need to identify specific stakeholders with a vested interest in the jurisdiction’s mitigation planning. Table A.3 defines each of the stakeholder categories as defined in the Handbook. Outreach to stakeholders was accomplished through direct emails and mail.

Table A.3: Stakeholder Categories Defined
Stakeholder Categories Defined
Local and Regional Agencies Involved in Hazard Mitigation activities. Examples include public works, emergency management, local floodplain administration and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) departments.

Agencies that have the Authority to Regulate Development. Examples include zoning, planning, community and economic development departments, building officials, planning commission, and other elected officials.

Neighboring Communities. Examples include adjacent local governments, including special districts, such as those that are affected by similar hazard events or may share a mitigation action or project that crosses jurisdictional boundaries. Neighboring communities may be partners in hazard mitigation and response activities, or maybe where critical assets, such as dams, are located.

Businesses, Academia and other Private Interests. Examples include a chamber of commerce, institutions of learning, private utilities or major employers that sustain community lifelines (providers of vital services in a community that when stabilized enable all other aspects of society to function).

Nonprofit Organizations and Community-Based Organizations. These organizations work directly with and/or provide support to underserved communities and socially vulnerable populations, among others. It is key to bringing partners to the table who can speak to the unique needs of these groups. Examples include housing, healthcare and social services agencies.

Q&A | ELEMENT B: RISK ASSESSMENT | B1-b.

Q: Does the plan include information on the location of each identified hazard? (Requirement 44 CFR § 201.6(c)(2)(i))
A: See Local Conditions, Map B.1 below.

Q&A | ELEMENT B: RISK ASSESSMENT | B1-c.

Q: Does the plan describe the extent for each identified hazard? (Requirement 44 CFR § 201.6(c)(2)(ii)) A: See Map B.2-B.4 below.

Q&A | ELEMENT B: RISK ASSESSMENT | B1-d.

Q: Does the plan include the history of previous hazard events for each identified hazard? (Requirement 44 CFR § 201.6(c)(2)(i))
A: See Previous Earthquakes Impacting City of La Puente, Previous Earthquakes Impacting Los Angeles County, and Table B.7 below.

Q&A | ELEMENT B: RISK ASSESSMENT | B1-e.

Q: Does the plan include the probability of future events for each identified hazard? Does the plan describe the effects of future conditions, including climate change (e.g., long-term weather patterns, average temperature and sea levels), on the type, location and range of anticipated intensities of identified hazards? (Requirement 44 CFR § 201.6(c)(2)(i)) A: See Probability of Future Earthquakes
Q&A | ELEMENT B: RISK ASSESSMENT | B2-c.

Q: Does the Plan address NFIP-insured structures within each jurisdiction that have been repetitively damaged by floods? (Requirement 44 CFR § 201.6(c)(2)(ii)) A: See Repetitive Loss Properties/Severe Repetitive Loss Properties, below.

FEMA requires this part of the plan to include a description of the type, location, and extent of all natural hazards that can affect the jurisdiction. In addition, the plan includes information on previous occurrences of hazard events and on the probability of future hazard events. Also, the plan is required to include a summary of the jurisdiction’s vulnerability and the impacts on the community from the identified hazards. This includes the National Flood Insurance Program - insured structures that have been repetitively damaged by floods.

Element B: Risk Assessment is divided into three sections: 1) Community Profile which provides a brief look at the history and facts about the community, 2) Risk Assessment which focuses on the hazards, and 3) Vulnerability and Impacts Assessment which analyzes the hazards and community assets.

Before delving into the hazards and vulnerability, the jurisdiction believes it is important to share history and background information in the form of a Community Profile. Additional information on the assets (People, Structures, Economy, Natural/Historic/Cultural Resources, and Activities Bringing Value to the Community) can be found later in Element B: Risk Assessment – Vulnerability and Impacts Assessment.

Community Profile
The City of La Puente is one of the oldest cities in Los Angeles County and is rich in history.

According to the City’s website, the City’s name “La Puente” means the bridge in old Spanish and refers to an early bridge built across the San Jose Creek by members of the Portola-Serra expedition in 1769, as they surveyed the region for Spain. A modernized version of the bridge can be seen in the City’s colorful seal. The area comprising the City of La Puente was first settled in 1841 as an agricultural region and the City itself incorporated in 1956.

Today, the City of La Puente is approximately 3.48 square miles and is home to approximately 40,000 people. It is primarily a residential community (70%) with multiple types of businesses located primarily along major highways and streets. Industrial land use is less than five percent (5%) of the City’s 3.5 square mile land area. The City is served by the nearby Interstate 10, Interstate 605 and CA 60 freeways. The major arterial roads are Puente, Orange, Sunset, Hacienda, Glendora and Azusa Avenues which run north-to-south, and Valley Boulevard, Amar Road, Temple Avenue and Nelson Avenue which run east-to-west.

Passenger transportation is provided by Foothill Transit, Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), and La Puente’s “Link” Shuttle services. In addition, two (2) Metrolink stations in adjacent cities serve the city further expanding accessibility in and out of La Puente.

Considerably more information about “community profile” is located later in Element B: Risk Assessment – Vulnerability and Impacts Assessment – People.

What is a Risk Assessment?
Conducting a risk assessment can provide information regarding: the types of hazards a jurisdiction is exposed to; the location where the hazard might occur; the history of the hazard in the City of La Puente and surrounding area; and the future risk they pose. Specifically, the five levels of a risk assessment are as follows:

1. Identify Hazards

2. Hazard Profiles

3. Identify Community Assets

4. Analyze Impacts

5. Summarize Vulnerability
Identify Hazards
This section is the description of the geographic extent, potential intensity, and the probability of occurrence of a given hazard. Maps are used in this plan to display hazard identification data.

To determine the hazard with significant potential to impact the Planning Team examined three resources: California’s 2023 State Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2020 County of Los Angeles AllHazards Mitigation Plan, and the City’s 2024 General Plan-Community Safety Element (CSE).

The Planning Team reviewed existing documents to determine which of the hazards posed the most significant threat to the planning area and its ability to deliver services. In other words, which hazard would likely result in a local declaration of emergency. The Planning Team also reviewed Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2026

Repetitive Loss Properties and Severe Repetitive Loss Properties Although flooding was not ranked as a medium or high risk hazard, FEMA regulations require mention of the City’s involvement in the National Flood Insurance Program (see Element C:

Mitigation Strategy) and repetitive/severe loss properties which can found below.

Repetitive Loss Properties (RLPs) and Severe Repetitive Loss Properties (SRLPs) are most susceptible to flood damage; therefore, they have been the focus of flood hazard mitigation programs. Unlike a countywide program, the Floodplain Management Plan (FMP) for repetitive loss properties involves highly diversified property profiles, drainage issues, and property owner’s interest. It also requires public involvement processes unique to each RLP area. The objective of an FMP is to provide specific potential mitigation measures and activities to best address the problems and needs of communities with repetitive loss properties. According to FEMA resources, none of the properties within the City of La Puente are designated as Repetitive Loss Property (RLPs) or Severe Loss Property (SLPs).

Hazard Profiles
Table B.2 (Calculated Priority Risk Index) included all of the natural hazards that can affect the jurisdiction. Table B.3 (CPRI Ranking) emphasizes the importance of considering the “scope and scale” of a possible event. In other words, the Planning Team members were reminded to envision an event of such significance that a local declaration of emergency would likely be issued. The planning team chose to profile only those hazards with a medium or high hazard priority ranking (probability + magnitude/severity). In total, these hazards include dam inundation, earthquake, and wildfire. Table B.4 provided a justification for why or why not a hazard was profiled in the plan. Next, Table B.5 provides a summary of the profiled hazards indicating a generalized perspective of the community’s vulnerability according to extent, location, and probability, and previous significant event.

Dam Inundation
Description
Dam inundation or failure can result from a number of natural or human causes, including earthquakes, erosion of the face or foundation, rapidly rising flood waters, improper sitting, structural/design flaws, or deliberate acts of terrorism.

Since 1929, the State of California has been responsible for overseeing dams to safeguard life and property (California Department of Resources, 1995). This legislation was prompted by the 1928 failure of St. Francis Dam located in Los Angeles County. In 1965, the law was amended to include off-stream storage reservoirs due to the 1963 failure of Baldwin Hill Reservoir. In 1973, Senate Bill 896 was enacted to require dam owners, under the direction of Cal OES, to show the possible inundation path in the event of a dam failure.

Dam inundation or failure could require governmental assistance to continue over an extended period. These efforts could require the removal of debris and clearing of roadways, demolishing unsafe structures, assisting in reestablishing public services and utilities, and providing continuing care and welfare for the affected population including, as required, temporary housing for displaced persons.

Dam Hazard Potential Classification
According to the Federal Guidelines for Dam Safety (2004), it is common practice among federal and state dam safety offices to classify a dam according to the potential impact a dam failure (breach) or mis-operation (unscheduled release) would have on upstream and/or downstream areas or at locations remote from the dam. The three classifications include:
• High Hazard Potential — A dam failure would likely result in the loss of at least one human life. Low economic and/or environmental losses expected. Losses are principally limited to the owner’s property.
• Significant Hazard Potential — Loss of human life is possible but unlikely in the event of a dam failure. However, significant loss of property, environmental destruction, economic loss, and disruption of lifeline facilities would likely occur. • Low Hazard Potential — Loss of human life and property and/or environmental damage is unlikely in the event of a dam failure. Low economic and/or environmental losses expected. Losses are principally limited to the owner’s property.

Local Conditions
According to the CSE, there are 103 dams in Los Angeles County, owned by 23 agencies or organizations, ranging from the federal government to homeowner associations. These dams hold billions of gallons of water in reservoirs. Releases of water from the major reservoirs are designed to protect Southern California from flood waters and to store domestic water. Seismic activity can compromise the dam structures, and the resultant flooding could cause catastrophic flooding.

Loss of life and damage to structures, roads, and utilities may result from a dam failure. Economic losses can also result from a lowered tax base and lack of utility profits. These effects would certainly accompany the failure of one of the major dams near the City of La Puente.

According to the CSE, there are three dams that could impact the City. The dams include Whittier Narrows Dam, Santa Fe Dam, and Puddingstone Creek Dam. The US Army Corps of Engineers has assessed the risk level of the three dams in La Puente’s vicinity, as described below. In the descriptions below, each contains the DSAC which is the Dam Safety Action Classification system which is a comprehensive framework used to assess the safety of dams in the United States.

Whittier Narrows Dam
Whittier Narrows Dam and Legg Lake are located near the intersection of the Pomona Freeway (SR-60) and Interstate 605, and the dam is owned and operated by the Los Angeles District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. In the event of a dam failure at Whittier Narrows Dam, upstream floodwaters would reach portions of unincorporated Los Angeles County adjacent to the Planning Area, just west of Puente Avenue. In 2019, USACE completed a safety study of Whittier Narrows Dam and classified DSAC 1 “very high risk of failure”. Although unlikely, a couple of dam failure scenarios triggered by rare, extremely high rainfall events, could lead to significant downstream flooding. If a dam failure were to occur, it could impact many major roadways and highways that are considered evacuation routes.

Santa Fe Dam
Santa Fe Dam and Reservoir are located on the San Gabriel River, in the City of Irwindale, Los Angeles County, north of La Puente. It is owned and operated by the Los Angeles District of the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Santa Fe Dam’s downstream floodplain includes a very small portion of the La Puente Planning Area. In the unlikely event of a dam failure, floodwater would extend to the northwest corner of the West Puente Valley area within one and one-half hours. Santa Fe Dam was last inspected in 2017 and has an Emergency Action Plan prepared, which was last reviewed in 2019.

Santa Fe Dam was authorized to provide flood risk management for the densely populated area between the dam site and the downstream Whittier Narrows Reservoir. Santa Fe Dam and Reservoir is dry unless a significant rainfall event occurs, normally between the months of November and April. A risk assessment of Santa Fe Dam was completed by USACE in 2016.

The risks identified during this study determined the dam to be DSAC 3 (“moderate”) risk due to the combination of life, economic, or environmental consequences with likelihood of failure to be unacceptable except in unusual circumstances. The project risk is driven by the high population at risk immediately downstream of the dam as well as identified potential failure modes. The primary risk drivers for Santa Fe Dam are internal erosion of the earthen embankment adjacent to the outlet conduit and impacts on the structure due to an earthquake event. The primary consequence centers are the cities of Irwindale, Baldwin Park, El Monte, and South El Monte Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2026

which are located downstream and between the Santa Fe Dam and Whittier Narrows Dam. These areas are heavily developed and will be significantly impacted as a result of flooding scenarios.

The impact to La Puente would likely only include flooding in the far northwest portion of the City.

To ensure USACE is taking all steps to reduce the risk to the public, USACE will continue to work closely with state and local emergency managers, conducting emergency exercises and incorporating any new information into our Emergency Action Plan. USACE regularly inspects and monitors instruments to check the health of the dam and increases this monitoring during lake level rises. Regular maintenance and repairs are performed as needed to keep the dam functioning properly. Future risk communication activities include updates to the Emergency Action Plan and coordinating these plans with first responders and development of a formal Risk Communication Plan.

Puddingstone Creek Dam
The Puddingstone Reservoir is in the City of San Dimas near the junction of SR-57 and I-10. In the unlikely event of catastrophic failure or breach of the Puddingstone Dam, floodwaters would extend throughout most of north and west La Puente within two to three hours. Puddingstone Creek Dam is owned by Los Angeles County Department of Public Works and was last inspected on October 26, 2021. The US Army Corps of Engineers has determined this dam’s risk to be DSAC 5 (“high”) in the event of a dam failure and it has an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared which was last reviewed in 2022.

Earthquake
Description
An earthquake is a sudden motion or trembling that is caused by a release of strain accumulated within or along the edge of the Earth's tectonic plates. The effects of an earthquake can be felt far beyond the site of its occurrence. They usually occur without warning and, after just a few seconds, can cause massive damage and extensive casualties. Common effects of earthquakes are ground motion and shaking, surface fault ruptures, and ground failure.

Ground Shaking
Ground shaking is the motion felt on the earth's surface caused by seismic waves generated by the earthquake. It is the primary cause of earthquake damage. The strength of ground shaking depends on the magnitude of the earthquake, the type of fault, and distance from the epicenter (where the earthquake originates). Buildings on poorly consolidated and thick soil will typically see more damage than buildings on consolidated soil and bedrock.

Liquefaction
Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which the strength and stiffness of soil is reduced by earthquake shaking or other events. Liquefaction occurs in saturated soils, which are soils in which the space between individual soil particles is completely filled with water. This water exerts pressure on the soil particles that influences how tightly the particles themselves are pressed together. Prior to an earthquake, the water pressure is relatively low. However, earthquake shaking can cause water pressure to increase to the point where the soil particles can readily move with respect to each other. Because liquefaction only occurs in saturated soil, its effects are most commonly observed in low lying areas. Typically, liquefaction is associated with shallow groundwater, which is less than 50 feet beneath the earth’s surface. See Liquefaction Areas discussion below for more information.

Mercalli Scale and Peak Ground Acceleration Comparison
One tool used to describe earthquake intensity is the Magnitude Scale. The Magnitude Scale is sometimes referred to as the Richter Scale. The two are similar but not exactly the same. The Magnitude Scale was devised as a means of rating earthquake strength and is an indirect measure of seismic energy released. The Scale is logarithmic with each one-point increase corresponding to a 10-fold increase in the amplitude of the seismic shock waves generated by the earthquake. In terms of actual energy released, however, each one-point increase on the Richter scale corresponds to about a 32-fold increase in energy released. Therefore, a Magnitude 7 (M7) earthquake is 100 times (10 X 10) more powerful than a M5 earthquake and releases 1,024 times (32 X 32) the energy. Table B.7 compares the Mercalli Scale and Peak Ground Acceleration.

Local Conditions
According to the CSE, La Puente lies within a region of several active faults and therefore is subject to the risks and hazards associated with earthquakes. Eleven major faults impact the Los Angeles region. The California Geological Survey classifies seven of these faults as “active.” Several major faults within a 50-mile radius of La Puente can produce substantial effects from ground shaking. These faults include the San Andreas, Whittier-Elsinore, Chino, Sierra MadreCucamonga, Puente Hills and San Fernando faults. A major earthquake produced along any of these faults has the potential to produce strong ground shaking in La Puente.

As in much of California, expansive type soils are prevalent in La Puente. Expansive soils made of fine-grained clay act like a sponge; as they absorb water, they swell and as they lose water, they shrink. Expansive soil occurs naturally and can be found in large and small areas throughout the Los Angeles region. Expansive soils may become unstable during ground shaking and are one of the most prevalent causes of earthquake damage to buildings. Damage caused by expansive soil includes disfiguring and structural damage due to cracking walls, ceilings, driveways, sidewalks, and basement floors. Minor damage to doors and windows may cause them to function erratically. To minimize damage to wood frame structures foundations can be made more flexible, with reinforced or post-tensioned slabs.

According to the CSE, no active faults have been identified at the ground surface within the city limits, nor have any Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zones been designated. However, La Puente is near the Puente Hills fault system, and the Walnut Creek Fault. The Puente Hills Fault system is comprised of three sections that run under downtown Los Angeles, through La Puente, and into the Coyote Hills of north Orange County. The faults of the system are known as blind thrust faults, as the faults do not interrupt the ground surface. While large earthquakes on this fault system are infrequent, they are possible, which could have substantial impact on the area.

Estimation of Potential Human and Economic Losses Based on the Exposure and Vulnerability of People, Buildings, and Infrastructure
A vulnerability assessment in its simplest form is a simultaneous look at the geographical location of hazards and an inventory of the underlying land uses (populations, structures, etc.). Facilities that provide critical and essential services following a major emergency are of particular concern because these locations house staff and equipment necessary to provide important public safety, emergency response, and/or disaster recovery functions.

HAZUS
The hazard maps in the mitigation plan were generated by Emergency Planning Consultants using FEMA’s Hazards United States – Multi Hazard (HAZUS-MH) software program. Below are the maps
generated by HAZUS. The associated reports are available separately. Once the location and size of a hypothetical earthquake are identified, HAZUS-MH estimates the intensity of the ground shaking, the number of buildings damaged, the number of casualties, the amount of damage to transportation systems and utilities, the number of people displaced from their homes, and the estimated cost of repair and clean up. It’s important to note that the “project area” is based on Census tracts not jurisdictional boundaries.

Liquefaction Area
According to the CSE, liquefaction presents the most prominent secondary earthquake ground failure issue in the city. Liquefaction-related lateral spreads can occur adjacent to stream channels and deep washes that provide a free face toward which the liquefied mass of soil fails.

Lateral spreads can cause extensive damage to pipelines, utilities, bridges, roads and other structures.

Map B.6 depicts the liquefaction areas in La Puente. Liquefaction hazards are generally high with more than half of the city within a liquefaction zone.

Landslides and Slope Failure
According to the CSE, La Puente has areas susceptible to earthquake-induced landslides. There are a few public safety facilities that are closely adjacent to the landslide zone. The closest facility to the landslide zone is a water facility, La Puente Valley County Water District Tanks, that is less than a quarter mile to the landslide zone. Two schools, Hurley Elementary School, and Workman Elementary School are within a third of a mile to the landslide zone. Small areas in the southeast of the City close to the Industry Hills Recreation Center and portions of the Industry Hills Golf Course at Pacific Palms Resort are subject to earthquake-induced landslides due to the area’s steep hill slopes. There is potential for permanent ground displacement in this area. Some of the landslide zones are inside city limits, affecting areas such as Main Street and other southeast areas of the City.

Wildfire
Description
Wildfire is an uncontrolled fire spreading through vegetative fuels and exposing or possibly consuming structures. They often begin unnoticed and spread quickly. Naturally occurring and non-native species of grass, brush, and trees fuel wildfires. A wildland fire is a wildfire in an area in which development is essentially nonexistent, except for roads, railroads, power lines and similar facilities. A wildland/urban interface fire is a wildfire in a geographical area where structures and other human development meet or intermingle with wildland or vegetative fuels.

Wildfire Characteristics
There are three categories of wildland/urban interface fire: classic, mixed, and occluded.

The classic wildland/urban interface exists where well-defined urban and suburban development presses up against open expanses of wildland areas. The mixed wildland/urban interface is characterized by isolated homes, subdivisions, and small communities situated predominantly in wildland settings. The occluded wildland/urban interface exists where islands of wildland vegetation occur inside a largely urbanized area.

Certain conditions must be present for significant interface fires to occur. The most common conditions include hot, dry and windy weather; the inability of fire protection forces to contain or suppress the fire; the occurrence of multiple fires that overwhelm committed resources; and a large fuel load (dense vegetation).

Once a fire has started, several conditions influence its behavior, including fuel, topography, and weather.

Local Conditions
A local meteorological phenomenon, known as the Santa Ana winds, contributes to the high incidence of wildfires in each county. These winds originate during the autumn months in the hot, dry interior deserts to the north and east of Los Angeles County. They often sweep west into the county, bringing extremely dry air and high wind speeds that further desiccate plant communities during the period of the year when the constituent species have extremely low moisture content.

The effect of these winds on existing fires is particularly dangerous; the winds can greatly increase the rate at which fires spread.

In March of 2025 the California State Fire Marshal’s Office released updated Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps for both Local Responsibility Areas (fire protection provided by local fire departments) and State Responsibility Areas (fire protection provided by state fire resources). Portions of the Very High, High, and Medium zones are located in the La Puente in southeasterly portion of the community. Wildfires in these areas would definitely impact air quality through wildfire smoke as well as the need for disaster routes in the event of an evacuation. Furthermore, embers could pose a serious threat to the entire community depending on wind conditions.

Previous Wildfires Impacting Los Angeles County
The most recent significant wildfire event to impact Los Angeles County was the Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire in January 2025. The Palisades Fire was a devastating wildfire that ignited on January 7, 2025, in the Santa Monica Mountains of Los Angeles County. Over 24 days, it consumed approximately 23,000 acres, leading to the destruction of nearly 6,800 homes and City of La Puente

resulting in at least 29 fatalities. The fire prompted the evacuation of over 100,000 residents from areas including Pacific Palisades, Topanga, and Malibu. Significant cultural landmarks were affected, such as the Getty Villa Museum grounds and historic structures in Will Rogers State Historic Park
The Eaton Fire, which began on January 7, 2025, had a significant impact on Los Angeles County, particularly affecting the San Gabriel Mountains and nearby communities like Altadena and Duarte. The fire burned over 9,400 acres, destroying thousands of structures and resulting in 17 fatalities. It prompted widespread evacuations, including residents from at-risk neighborhoods and key facilities like the City of Hope cancer treatment center in Duarte. The fire also brought attention to environmental concerns, as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designated a local site, Lario Park, for hazardous debris processing, sparking opposition from local communities over potential contamination risks. The Eaton Fire's destruction and the challenges faced in recovery, including slow rebuilding efforts, highlighted the vulnerability of Los Angeles County to wildfire risks and the need for improved fire prevention, preparedness, and resilience in urban and wildland areas.

The Vulnerability and Impacts Assessment process analyzes the potential harm of the prioritized hazard events discussed in Element B: Risk Assessment Requirements – Risk Assessment.

Vulnerability and Impact Assessment Process
The assessment examines the potential harm that may result from a hazard event, without factoring in its likelihood. This means that equal attention is given to hazards regardless of their probability. The assessment evaluates three key aspects of each hazard on assets: the physical threat posed to facilities, the social threat to vulnerable populations, and the potential impact on other assets. The FEMA Handbook categorizes assets as follows:

People
Structures
Economy
Natural, Historic, and Cultural Resources
Activities Bringing Value to the Community
People
People are the community’s most important asset. In the context of this discussion, people are defined as individuals who live and/or work in the City of La Puente.

Vulnerability of People
Disasters affect all populations; however, some populations are more adversely affected because of a higher level of social vulnerability. According to The Guide to Expanding Mitigation – Making the Connection to Equity, social vulnerability is defined in terms of the characteristics of a person or group that affect “their capacity to anticipate, cope with, resist, and recover from the impact” of a discrete and identifiable disaster in nature or society.

Using FEMA’s Resilience Analysis and Planning Tool (RAPT), census tract data was used to understand what census tracts might be more vulnerable. Many of the maps in the People section were created using data provided by RAPT. RAPT is a free, publicly available geographic information systems (GIS) tool to help emergency managers and community partners of all GIS skill levels to visualize and assess potential challenges to community resilience. RAPT includes over 100 pre-loaded data layers and the tool’s functionality allows users to visualize combinations of these data layers for a specific location. One of the layers includes community demographics for counties, census tracts, and tribes drawn primarily from the U.S. Census Bureau. RAPT includes 27 demographic layers, including 22 community resilience challenges indicators identified from peer-reviewed research, and FEMA’s Community Resilience Challenges Index (CRCI) for counties and census tracts, a composite value of all 22 community resilience challenges indicators. The graphics below outline the community resilience indicators.

A person’s vulnerability to disaster is influenced by many factors.

According to CDC’s Planning for an Emergency: Strategies for Identifying and Engaging At-Risk Group, the following six categories are among the most commonly accepted factors:
socioeconomic status, age, gender, race and ethnicity, English language proficiency, and medical issues and disability. These categories were used to analyze the vulnerability of people in La Puente. The compounding effects of these factors will further impact an individual’s ability to withstand the effects of disasters and other hazards.

Below is an overview of La Puente’s population. Due to a limitation on data that is currently available it is not known exactly where in the city those who are more vulnerable may reside.

The infographics provide a detailed profile of the City of La Puente, focusing on population, atrisk groups, and emergency-related infrastructure. As of June 2025, the city has a total population of 36,553, with 9,581 households and a daytime population of 26,810. Children under 18 (7,838) and seniors over 65 (5,307) represent significant vulnerable groups. Additionally, 2,966 households include individuals with disabilities, 396 households lack vehicles, and 9% of households lack internet access—factors that can hinder emergency response and evacuation.

La Puente also exhibits notable linguistic and economic vulnerabilities. While the median household income is $83,496, 11% of households fall below the poverty line. A majority of the population (23,355) speaks Spanish, with over 1,400 residents—primarily seniors—speaking Spanish only or not speaking English well. This language barrier could pose challenges in disseminating emergency information. The average household size is 3.81, and the median age is 37.5. Overall, La Puente has significant concentrations of at-risk populations, and linguistic diversity that underscore the importance of targeted preparedness and response strategies.

Impact Profile of People
Dam Inundation
The impact of dam inundation on the people of La Puente would be significant, particularly given the city's population density and its at-risk populations. If a nearby dam were to fail, resulting in rapid flooding, vulnerable groups—such as the 5,307 seniors, 2,966 residents with disabilities, and 396 households without vehicles—would face major evacuation and mobility challenges.

Additionally, 9% of households lack internet access and a notable number of residents - especially older adults - speak only Spanish or do not speak English well. These factors could delay the dissemination of critical emergency warnings and instructions. Households below the poverty line (1,103) may also lack resources to evacuate quickly or recover after flooding. In sum, dam inundation would place thousands of La Puente residents at risk, especially those with limited mobility, communication barriers, or economic disadvantages, underscoring the need for strong local emergency planning and accessible communication systems.

Earthquake
La Puente has a diverse population that includes several vulnerable groups, such as elderly residents, low-income families, non-English speakers, and disabled individuals. The elderly population in La Puente, some of whom may live alone or in care facilities, can be particularly vulnerable during emergencies due to mobility issues and potential isolation. Low-income families in the city may lack the resources to adequately prepare for or recover from a disaster, such as securing emergency supplies or making necessary housing repairs. Non-English speakers face language barriers that can impede their access to crucial information and services during an emergency. Additionally, individuals with physical, sensory, or cognitive disabilities face added challenges in evacuating and accessing emergency services.

Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2026
Element B: Risk Assessment

In the event of an earthquake, these vulnerable populations in La Puente would face significant risks and challenges. Elderly residents may have difficulty evacuating quickly and could be living in older, less earthquake-resistant buildings. The disruption of healthcare services could critically impact those with medical needs. Low-income families might struggle with the financial burden of property damage and loss of income if their workplaces are affected, with limited access to insurance and emergency funds exacerbating their vulnerability. Non-English speakers could be hindered by communication barriers that prevent them from receiving timely warnings and instructions, and they may also face difficulties in navigating relief services and understanding available resources. Disabled individuals may face increased risks due to mobility issues and the potential inaccessibility of emergency shelters and services.

Wildfire
Impacts from wildfires in or near La Puente can significantly affect vulnerable populations, including the elderly, low-income families, and individuals with health issues. Health risks from smoke inhalation can worsen existing conditions, while evacuation challenges disproportionately affect those without transportation or resources. Economic hardships arise from property loss and job disruption, complicating recovery efforts for low-income families. Additionally, limited access to timely information can hinder effective responses, and environmental hazards can threaten water supplies, impacting health further.

Structures
Vulnerability of Structures
Structures include critical facilities, properties and structures that serve vital functions in government operations and the services offered to the community. These may include local government offices and yards, community centers, public safety buildings such as police and fire stations, schools, and other properties deemed essential for city operations. Additionally, some critical facilities may serve dual roles if designated as public assembly points during emergencies.

While many critical facilities are owned by the city, certain ones, such as utilities and telecommunication infrastructure, may be privately owned and operated.

FEMA separates critical buildings and facilities into the five categories shown below based on their loss potential. All of the following elements are considered critical facilities:

Essential Facilities are essential to the health and welfare of the whole population and are especially important following hazard events. Essential facilities include hospitals and other medical facilities, police and fire stations, emergency operations centers and evacuation shelters, and schools.

Transportation Systems include airways – airports, heliports; highways – bridges, tunnels, roadbeds, overpasses, transfer centers; railways – trackage, tunnels, bridges, rail yards, depots; and waterways – canals, locks, seaports, ferries, harbors, drydocks, piers.

Lifeline Utility Systems such as potable water, wastewater, oil, natural gas, electric power and communication systems.

High Potential Loss Facilities are facilities that would have a high loss associated with them, such as nuclear power plants, dams, and military installations.

Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2026
Element B: Risk Assessment

from dam failure. Structures can be damaged from trees falling as a result of water-saturated soil. Structures can also be damaged from dam failure related flooding. Electrical power outages could happen, resulting in the interruption of critical services. Loss of power is usually a precursor to closure of schools. It’s very likely the city would be required to reroute traffic or close access to impacted neighborhoods.

Ground saturation would likely result in instability, collapse, or other damage to trees, structures, roadways, and other critical infrastructure. Standing water could cause damage to roads and building foundations.
.

Earthquake
Structures include physical buildings, lifelines, and critical infrastructure in a community. All properties and occupants in La Puente can be either directly impacted or affected by earthquakes.

It is estimated more than a third of the planning area’s building stock was built prior to 1975, when seismic provisions became uniformly applied through building code applications. These buildings are at a higher risk of damage from earthquakes. Due to limitations in current modeling abilities, the risk to critical facilities in the planning area from the earthquake hazard is likely understated.

A more thorough review of the age of critical facilities, codes they were built to, and location on liquefiable soils should be conducted. Damage to transportation systems in the planning area after an earthquake has the potential to significantly disrupt response and recovery efforts and lead to isolation of populations. Additionally, seismic events can damage communication systems, complicating efforts to coordinate response to the event. Many structures may need seismic retrofits in order to withstand a moderate earthquake. Residential retrofit programs, such as Earthquake Brace+Bolt, may be able to assist in the costs of these efforts.

Wildfire
Based on maps issued in March of 2025, La Puente is much more vulnerable to wildfire than previously understood. As shown earlier in Element B: Risk Assessment, Map B.6a and b, the southeasterly portion of the City is designated Very High, High, or Medium Fire Hazard Severity Zone. There are no city-owned structures in this zone, however structures near the Very High, High, and Medium Fire Hazard Severity Zones but all could be susceptible to ember depending on wind conditions. These factors highlight the need for an aggressive push for proactive fire prevention measures, like fire-resistant landscaping and public awareness, to help protect La Puente's residents and infrastructure.

Economy
Vulnerability to Economy
La Puente has several assets that have an important impact on the city’s economy. Several of these economic assets overlap with the assets outlined earlier in this Element under “Structures” as they are community lifelines. These assets include major employers and any impact from hazards has the potential of causing debilitating consequences to the local economy. According to the 2024 Annual Financial Report, these assets include Northgate Market and Bodega Latina Corp.

Overview of Mitigation Strategy
As the cost of damage from disasters continues to increase nationwide, the City of La Puente recognizes the importance of identifying effective ways to reduce vulnerability to disasters.

Mitigation plans assist communities in reducing risk from natural hazards by identifying resources, information and strategies for risk reduction, while helping to guide and coordinate mitigation activities at city facilities.

Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2026
Element C: Mitigation Strategy
- 69 -
The plan provides a set of action items to reduce risk from hazards through education and outreach programs, and to foster the development of partnerships. Further, the plan provides for the implementation of preventative activities.

Resources and information within the mitigation plan include:

1. Establishing a basis for coordination and collaboration among agencies and the public in the City of La Puente,

2. Identifying and prioritizing future mitigation projects, and

3. Assisting in meeting the requirements of federal assistance programs.

The mitigation plan is integrated with other city plans including the Emergency Operations Plan, General Plan, Capital Improvement Program, as well as department-specific standard operating procedures.

Capability Assessment – Existing Processes and Programs The City will incorporate mitigation planning as an integral component of daily operations. This will be accomplished by the Planning Team members with their respective departments to integrate mitigation strategies into their planning documents and operational guidelines. In addition to the Capability Assessment below, the Planning Team will strive to identify additional policies, programs, practices, and procedures that could be created or modified to address mitigation activities.

FEMA identifies four types of capabilities: Planning and Regulatory, Administrative and Technical, Financial, and Education and Outreach. Following are explanations drawn from “Beyond The Basics” a website developed as part of a multi-year research study funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Coastal Resilience Center and led by the Center for Sustainable Community Design within the Institute for the Environment at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Institute for Sustainable Coastal Communities at Texas A&M University. This excellent resource ties FEMA regulations together with best practices in hazard mitigation.

Planning and Regulatory
Planning and regulatory capabilities are based on the implementation of ordinances, policies, local laws and State statutes, and plans and programs that relate to guiding and managing growth and development. Examples of planning capabilities that can either enable or inhibit mitigation include comprehensive land use plans, capital improvements programs, transportation plans, small area development plans, disaster recovery and reconstruction plans, and emergency preparedness and response plans. Plans describe specific actions or policies that support community goals and drive decisions. Likewise, examples of regulatory capabilities include the enforcement of zoning ordinances, subdivision regulations, and building codes that regulate how and where land is developed and structures are built. Planning and regulatory capabilities refer not only to the current plans and regulations, but also to the community’s ability to change and improve those plans and regulations as needed.

Administrative and Technical
Administrative and technical capability refers to the community’s staff and their skills and tools that can be used for mitigation planning and to implement specific mitigation actions. It also refers to the ability to access and coordinate these resources effectively. Think about the types of Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2026
Element C: Mitigation Strategy
- 70 -
personnel employed by each jurisdiction, the public and private sector resources that may be accessed to implement mitigation activities in your community, and the level of knowledge and technical expertise from all of these sources. These include engineers, planners, emergency managers, GIS analysts, building inspectors, grant writers, floodplain managers, and more. For jurisdictions with limited staff resources, capacity should also be considered; while staff members may have specific skills, they may not have the time to devote themselves to additional work tasks.

The planning team can identify resources available through other government entities, such as counties or special districts, which may be able to provide technical assistance to communities with limited resources. For example, a small town may turn to county planners, engineers, or a regional planning agency to support its mitigation planning efforts and provide assistance. For large jurisdictions, reviewing administrative and technical capabilities may involve targeting specific staff in various departments that have the expertise and are available to support hazard mitigation initiatives. The degree of intergovernmental coordination among departments also affects administrative capability.

Financial
Financial capabilities are the resources that a jurisdiction has access to or is eligible to use to fund mitigation actions. The costs associated with implementing mitigation activities vary. Some mitigation actions, such as building assessment or outreach efforts, require little to no costs other than staff time and existing operating budgets. Other actions, such as the acquisition of floodprone properties, could require substantial monetary commitments from local, state, and federal funding sources. Some local governments may have access to a recurring source of revenue beyond property, sales, and income taxes, such as stormwater utility or development impact fees.

These communities may be able to use the funds to support local mitigation efforts independently or as the local match or cost-share often required for grant funding.

Education and Outreach
This type of capability refers to education and outreach programs and methods already in place that could be used to implement mitigation activities and communicate hazard-related information.

Examples include fire safety programs that the Fire Department delivers to students at local schools; and participation in community programs, such as Firewise.

Table C.1 below includes a broad range of capabilities within the City of La Puente to successfully accomplish mitigation.

The City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) consists of the City Council approved projects aimed at improving the City’s public infrastructure areas which include streets and roads, alleyways, sidewalks, sewers, storm drains, traffic signals, streetlights, parks, and public facilities. To qualify as being capital in nature, an expenditure must exceed $5,000 and have a useful life of at least two years. Capital assets are depreciated based on timeframes defined by City policy based on several categories of long term assets. CIP expenses include design, engineering and
construction of permanent structures and do not include repairs, maintenance, and operational costs.

Expanding and Improving Capabilities
This identifies the capability categories and applicability to individual mitigation action items. Subcategory indicators are P – Planning and Regulatory; A – Administrative and Technical; F – Finance; E – Education and Outreach.

Planning and Regulatory Capabilities – The City builds and maintains its own buildings and infrastructure and regulates all construction within the community as per the International Building Code. Future plans are laid out in the General Plan and Capital Improvement Program. Some of the funding of future construction relies on successful bond measures where plans and Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2026
Element C: Mitigation Strategy
- 81 -
justifications are shared with the public. Because of previous hazard mitigation plans and projects, the City is very experienced in adhering to federal and state mandates. Also, departmental protocols are in place that ensure future development projects satisfy “substantial conformance” requirements with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. See Element C:

Mitigation Strategy - Mitigation Actions Matrix column “Expanding and Improving Capabilities”.

Administrative and Technical - Existing capabilities are typical for a medium-sized local government. The City already has grant writing and GIS capabilities along with mutual aid agreements, and a warning/notification system. Grant writing capabilities will continue to be especially important once the mitigation plan is approved by FEMA. That approval will trigger eligibility for a range of federal and state grants. Also, the City Council could task a sub-committee dedicated to land use matters and mitigation plan implementation. The Plan’s opportunities for success will be increased by the Council’s involvement. See Element C: Mitigation Strategy - Mitigation Actions Matrix column “Expanding and Improving Capabilities”.

Finance - All local governments have a broad range of funding sources. Taxation, impact fees, bonds, grants, in-kind donations, and philanthropic donations are included in the spectrum. As such, the City needs to keep these resources in mind for future mitigation activities. See Element C: Mitigation Strategy - Mitigation Actions Matrix column “Expanding and Improving Capabilities”.

Education and Outreach – Continue to utilize existing community groups such as CERT to support and encourage mitigation as well as home and business mitigation. Enlist the City Manager and Public Information Officer in learning and talking about the Hazard Mitigation Plan. See Element C: Mitigation Strategy - Mitigation Actions Matrix column “Expanding and Improving Capabilities”.

National Flood Insurance Program
Established in 1968, the NFIP provides federally backed flood insurance to homeowners, renters, and businesses in communities that adopt and enforce a floodplain management ordinance to reduce future flood damage.

NFIP Participation
According to the Planning Team, the City has participated in National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) since November 30, 1979. According to the 2024 Community Safety Element, the City is not located within either a 100- or 500-year flood zone, with the City Engineer serving as Floodplain Administrator.

La Puente’s Community Number is 065039 and its current effective map is designated No Specific Flood Hazard Area (NSFHA). Although La Puente may not be subject to the 100-year flood designation, flooding of greater magnitude could still occur, and certain structures may be vulnerable to local drainage issues. For flood insurance purposes, the entire community is rated Zone X. The City does not maintain a dedicated floodplain ordinance. The justification for not maintaining an ordinance, including information on substantial improvement and substantial language requirements, is provided in Attachments - Floodplain Related Documents.

State Hazard Mitigation Plan Goals
The 2023 State Hazard Mitigation Plan identified the following goals that reflect State’s current priorities:

Goal 1 - Significantly reduce risk to life, community lifelines, the environment, property, and infrastructure by planning and implementing whole-community risk reduction and resilience strategies.

Goal 2 - Build capacity and capabilities to increase disaster resilience among historically underserved populations, individuals with access and functional needs, and communities disproportionately impacted by disasters and climate change.

Goal 3 - Incorporate equity metrics, tools, and strategies into all mitigation planning, policy, funding, outreach, and implementation efforts.

Goal 4 - Apply the best available science and authoritative data to design, implement, and prioritize projects that enhance resilience to natural hazards and climate change impacts.

Goal 5 - Integrate mitigation principles into laws, regulations, policies, and guidance to support equitable outcomes to benefit the whole community.

Goal 6 - Significantly reduce barriers to timely, efficient, and effective hazard mitigation planning and action.
2025 City of La Puente Hazard Mitigation Plan Goals
Following review of the SHMP goals, the Planning Team reviewed the 2018 HMP goals and determined that those goals are consistent with and responsive to the 2025 Element B: Risk Assessment content and that the goals continue to represent a long-term vision for hazard reduction and enhanced mitigation capabilities.

Each of the goals is supported by mitigation action items. The Planning Team developed these action items through its knowledge of the local area, risk assessment, review of past efforts, identification of mitigation activities, and qualitative analysis. See Mitigation Actions Matrix.

The five mitigation goals and descriptions are listed below.

Protect Life and Property
Implement activities that assist in protecting lives by making homes, businesses, infrastructure, critical facilities, and other properties more resistant to losses from natural, human-caused, and technological hazards.

Reduce losses and repetitive damage for chronic hazard events while promoting insurance coverage for catastrophic hazards.

Improve hazard assessment information to make recommendations for avoiding new development in high hazard areas and encouraging preventative measures for existing development in areas vulnerable to natural, human-caused, and technological hazards.

Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2026
Element C: Mitigation Strategy
- 83 -
Public Awareness
Develop and implement education and outreach programs to increase public awareness of the risks associated with natural hazards.

Provide information on tools, partnership opportunities, and funding resources to assist in implementing mitigation activities.

Natural Systems
Balance watershed planning, natural resource management, and land use planning with natural hazard mitigation to protect life, property, and the environment.

Preserve, rehabilitate, and enhance natural systems to serve natural hazard mitigation functions.

Partnerships and Implementation
Strengthen communication and coordinate participation among and within public agencies, citizens, non-profit organizations, business, and industry to gain a vested interest in implementation.

Encourage leadership within public and private sector organizations to prioritize and implement local, county, and regional hazard mitigation activities.

Emergency Services
Establish policy to ensure mitigation projects for critical facilities, services, and infrastructure.

Strengthen emergency operations by increasing collaboration and coordination among public agencies, non-profit organizations, business, and industry.

Coordinate and integrate natural hazard mitigation activities, where appropriate, with emergency operations plans and procedures.

How are the Mitigation Action Items Organized?
The action items are a listing of activities in which city agencies and citizens can be engaged to reduce risk.

The action items are organized within the following Mitigation Actions Matrix, categorized by hazard. Data collection and research and the public participation process resulted in the development of these action items. The Matrix includes the following information for each action item:

Lead Department
The Mitigation Actions Matrix assigns primary responsibility for each of the action items to either a department or specific position within the city. The primary responsibility for implementing the action items falls to the entity shown as the “Lead Department”. The lead department has the regulatory responsibility to address hazards, or is willing and able to organize resources, find appropriate funding, or oversee activity implementation, monitor, and evaluate. The lead Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2026
Element C: Mitigation Strategy
- 84 -
department is a city staff or contracted while supporting agencies may include local governments, county, or regional agencies.

Timeline
The mitigation plan will be updated every 5 years according to FEMA regulations. However, there are projects and programs in the Mitigation Actions Matrix that will require more than 5 years to complete. Some of the actions are identified as “ongoing” since the 2018 HMP or will continue on a regular basis through the 2025 HMP. These items are indicated as either OngoingAnnual/Quarterly/Monthly, or Ongoing-As Needed with an explanation of what triggers the action (e.g., amending the General Plan, a public agency meeting, etc.).

Funding Source
External resources could include a range of FEMA mitigation grants perhaps including the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP).

Internal resources could include general fund, capital improvement budgets, impact fees, human capital, in-kind resources, etc.

Plan Goals Addressed
As mentioned earlier, the plan goals addressed by each action item are included as a way to monitor and evaluate how well the mitigation plan is achieving its goals once implementation begins. The plan goals are organized into the following five areas:
✓ Protect Life and Property
✓ Enhance Public Awareness
✓ Preserve Natural Systems
✓ Encourage Partnerships and Implementation
✓ Strengthen Emergency Services
Planning Mechanism
It’s important that each action item be implemented. Perhaps the best way to ensure implementation is through integration with one or many of the City’s existing “planning mechanisms” including the “internal resources” including the General Plan, Capital Improvement Projects, General Fund, and “external resources” including Grants. Opportunities for integration will be simple and easy in cases where the action item is already compatible with the content of the planning mechanism. As an example, if the action item calls for the creation of a floodplain ordinance and the same action is already identified in the General Plan’s policies, then the General Plan will assist in implementation. On the contrary, if preparation of a floodplain ordinance is not already included in the General Plan policies, then the item will need to be added during the next update to the General Plan.

The Capital Improvement Program, depending on the budgetary environment, is updated every 5 years. The CIP includes infrastructure projects built and owned by the City. As such, the CIP is an excellent medium for funding and implementing action items from the Mitigation Plan. The Mitigation Actions Matrix includes several items from the existing CIP. The authors of the CIP served on the Planning Team and are already looking to funding addition Mitigation Plan action items in future CIPs. The General Fund is the budget document that guides all of the City’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2026
Element C: Mitigation Strategy
- 85 -
expenditures and is updated on an annual basis. Although primarily a funding mechanism, it also includes descriptions and details associated with tasks and projects. Grants come from a wide variety of sources – some annually and others triggered by events like disasters. Whatever the source, the City uses the General Fund to identify successful grants as funding sources. Also see Element D: Plan Maintenance for discussion on Integration Into Other Planning Mechanisms.

Building and Infrastructure
This addresses the issue of whether or not a particular action item results in the reduction of the effects of hazards on new and existing buildings and infrastructure.

Comments
The purpose of the “Comments” is to capture the notes and status of the various action items.

Notations include:
“Revised” – some component(s) of the action item has been revised from the 2018 HMP.

Benefit/Cost Ratings
The benefits of proposed projects were weighed against estimated costs as part of the project prioritization process. The benefit/cost analysis was not of the detailed variety required by FEMA for project grant eligibility under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). A less formal approach was used because some projects may not be implemented for up to 10 years, and associated costs and benefits could change dramatically in that time. Therefore, a review of the apparent benefits versus the apparent cost of each project will be performed in the future as needed. Parameters were established for assigning subjective ratings (high, medium, and low) to the costs and benefits of these projects.

Cost ratings were defined as follows:

High: Existing funding within the jurisdiction will not cover the cost of the action item so outside sources of revenue would be required.

Medium: The action item could be funded through existing jurisdictional funding but would require budget modifications.

Low: The action item could be funded under existing jurisdictional funding within the assigned lead department.

Benefit ratings were defined as follows:

High: The action item will provide short-term and long-term impacts on the reduction of risk exposure to life and property.

Medium: The action item will have long-term impacts on the reduction of risk exposure to life and property.

Low: The action item will have only short-term impacts on the reduction of risk exposure to life and property.

Priority Rating
The 2018 HMP Mitigation Action Items did not include “priorities”. During the 2025 planning process, the Planning Team utilized the Priority Rating system designations of “High”, Medium”, or “Low” priority were assigned to each of the action items.

Q: Does the plan identify the local planning mechanisms where hazard mitigation information/actions may be integrated? (Requirement 44 CFR § 201.6(c)(4)(ii)) A: See Planning Mechanisms below (repeated from Element C).

The plan maintenance process includes a schedule for monitoring and evaluating the Plan annually and producing a plan revision every five years. This section describes how the City of La Puente will integrate public participation throughout the plan maintenance process.

Continued Public Involvement
The City of La Puente is dedicated to involving the public directly in the continual review and updates to the mitigation plan. Copies of the plan will be made available at City Hall and on the City’s Hazard Mitigation Plan website. The dedicated website will also contain an email address and phone number of a staff member welcoming any comments, questions, or concerns. At the discretion of the Local Mitigation Officer, a public meeting may be held after the Annual Implementation Meeting. The meeting could provide a public forum in which interested individuals and/or agencies could express their concerns, opinions, or ideas about the plan.

The Local Mitigation Officer will be responsible for using the city resources to publicize any public meetings and always free to maintain public involvement through the public access channel, web page, and newspapers.

Local Mitigation Officer
The Planning Team involved in research and writing of the Plan will also be responsible for implementation. The Planning Team will be led by the Planning Team Chair Juan Galvan who will be referred to as the Local Mitigation Officer. Under the direction of the Local Mitigation Officer, the Planning Team will take responsibility for plan maintenance and implementation. The Local Mitigation Officer will facilitate the Planning Team meetings and will assign tasks such as updating and presenting the Plan to the members of the Planning Team. Plan implementation and evaluation will be a shared responsibility among all of the Planning Team members. The Local Mitigation Officer will coordinate with the City of La Puente leadership to ensure funding for 5-year updates to Plan as required by FEMA. The Planning Team will be responsible for coordinating the implementation of plan action items and undertaking the formal review process.

The Local Mitigation Officer will be authorized to make changes in assignments to the current Planning Team.

The Planning Team will meet no less than annually. Meeting dates will be scheduled once the final Planning Team has been established. These meetings will provide an opportunity to discuss the progress of the action items and maintain the partnerships that are essential for the sustainability of the mitigation plan. The Local Mitigation Officer (or designee) will be responsible for contacting the Planning Team members and organizing the annual meetings.

Plan updates will need to be approved by FEMA every 5 years. However, adequate time should be allowed to secure grant funding (if necessary), allow adequate time for a thorough planning process, and time for the formal review by Cal OES and FEMA. All said, if grant funding is going to be needed, the update timeline should begin 3 years prior to the plan’s due date to FEMA.

The Local Mitigation Officer will hold annual meetings with representatives from the coordinating agencies (as identified in the Mitigation Actions Matrix) in order to gather status updates on the mitigation action items. These meetings will provide an opportunity to discuss the progress of the action items and maintain the partnerships that are essential for the sustainability of the mitigation plan. See the Annual Implementation Report (discussed below) which will be a valuable tool for the Planning Team to measure the success of the Hazard Mitigation Plan. The focus of the annual meeting will be on the progress and changes to the Mitigation Action Items.

Evaluating and Updating the Plan
Evaluation
As discussed at the beginning of this section, the representatives from the coordinating agencies (as identified in the Mitigation Actions Matrix) will meet annually to gather status updates on the mitigation action items. During that meeting, the Local Mitigation Officer will lead a discussion with the coordinating agencies on the success (or failure) of the Mitigation Plan to be effective and to meet the plan goals. Examples of measuring the plan’s effective will include assessing effectiveness include evaluating whether new hazards have emerged, whether community vulnerability has shifted, and whether stated mitigation strategies are still appropriate for the community’s circumstances. The plan goals are defined in the beginning of Element C: Mitigation Strategy and each of the mitigation action items is aligned with a goal or goals.

The results of that discussion will be added to the Evaluation portion of the Annual Implementation Report and inclusion in the 5-year update to the Plan. Efforts will be made immediately by the Local Mitigation Officer to address any failed plan goals.

Formal Update Process
As identified above, the Mitigation Action Items will be monitored for status on an annual basis as well as an evaluation of the plan’s goals. The Local Mitigation Officer or designee will be responsible for contacting the coordinating agency members and organizing the annual meeting which will take place based on the month of the plan’s approval. Planning Team members will also be responsible for participating in the formal update to the Plan every fifth year of the planning cycle. In the event the city desires to seek grant funding for the update, the application process should begin 2 years in advance of the plan’s expiration. Even without grant funding, the planning process should begin at least 1.5 years ahead of the plan’s expiration.

The Planning Team will begin the update process by reviewing the goals and mitigation action items to determine their relevance to changing situations within the City of La Puente as well as changes in state or federal policy, and to ensure they are addressing current and expected conditions. The Planning Team will also review Element B: Risk Assessment portion of the Plan to determine if this information should be updated or modified, given any new available data. The lead departments responsible for the various action items will report on the status of their projects, including the success of various implementation processes, difficulties encountered, success of coordination efforts, and which strategies should be revised. Amendments will be made to the Mitigation Actions Matrix and other sections in the Plan as deemed necessary by the Planning Team.

Integration into Other Planning Mechanisms
The City of La Puente addresses statewide planning goals and legislative requirements through the General Fund, Capital Projects, and Grants. The mitigation plan provides a series of recommendations - many of which are closely related to the goals and objectives of existing planning programs. The City will implement recommended mitigation action items through existing programs and procedures.

In addition, the City is responsible for adhering to the State of California’s Building and Safety Codes. In addition, the city may work with other agencies at the state level to review, develop and ensure Building and Safety Codes are adequate to mitigate or present damage by hazards.

This is to ensure that life-safety criteria are met for new construction.

Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2026
Element D: Plan Maintenance

Some of the goals and action items in the mitigation plan will be achieved through activities recommended in the strategic and other budget documents. The various departments involved in developing the plan will review it on an annual basis. Upon annual review, the Planning Team will work with the departments to identify areas in the plan’s action items that are consistent with the strategic and budget documents. This will ensure the mitigation plan goals and action items are implemented in a timely fashion.

Upon FEMA approval, the Planning Team will begin the process of incorporating risk information and mitigation action items into existing planning mechanisms including the General Fund (Operating Budget and Capital Projects - see Mitigation Actions Matrix for links between individual action items and associated planning mechanisms). The annual meetings of the Planning Team will provide an opportunity for Planning Team members to report back on the progress made on the integration of mitigation planning elements into the City’s planning documents and procedures. The timing of integration will depend on the cycles of the various planning mechanisms. As an example, state regulations require the Emergency Operations Plan to be updated every 3 years while the General Plan may not be updated for another 20 years. The department representatives should be mindful of opportunities to update or implement action items assigned to their departments.

The 2018 HMP was integrated into the 2024 General Plan – Community Safety Element with numerous references to hazard-related content. Specifically, the Planning Team will utilize the updates of the following HMP Elements into other planning documents:
✓ Element A: Planning Process – Stakeholders into Emergency Operations Plan, Training, and Exercises
✓ Element B: Risk Assessment - City Profile, Risk Assessment, Vulnerability and Impacts Assessment into Emergency Operations Plan – Hazard Analysis and General Plan – Safety Element.
✓ Element C: Mitigation Strategy – Capability Assessment and Mitigation Actions Matrix into General Fund, Capital Projects, and Grants.

Annual Implementation Matrix
The Annual Implementation Matrix is the same as the Mitigation Actions Matrix but with a column added to track the annual status of each Action Item. Upon approval and adoption of the Plan, the Annual Implementation Report will be added to the Plan’s Attachments. Following is a view of the Annual Implementation Matrix:

Annual Implementation Matrix will be inserted here following FEMA approval An equal part of the monitoring process is the need to maintain a strategic planning process which needs to include funding and organizational support. In that light, at least one year in advance of the FEMA-mandated 5-year submission of an update, the Local Mitigation Officer will convene the Planning Team (as well as any other departments with responsibilities on the Mitigation Actions Matrix) to discuss funding and timing of the update planning process. On the fifth year of the planning cycles, the Planning Team will broaden its scope to include discussions and research on all of the sections within the Plan with particular attention given to goal achievement and public participation.

Economic Analysis of Mitigation Projects
FEMA's approach to identifying the costs and benefits associated with hazard mitigation strategies, measures, or projects fall into two general categories: benefit/cost analysis and costeffectiveness analysis.

Conducting benefit/cost analysis for a mitigation activity can assist communities in determining whether a project is worth undertaking now, in order to avoid disaster-related damage later.

Cost-effectiveness analysis evaluates how best to spend a given amount of money to achieve a specific goal. Determining the economic feasibility of mitigating hazards can provide decisionmakers with an understanding of the potential benefits and costs of an activity, as well as a basis upon which to compare alternative projects.

Given federal funding, the Planning Team will use a FEMA-approved benefit/cost analysis approach to identify and prioritize mitigation action items. For other projects and funding sources, the Planning Team will use other approaches to understand the costs and benefits of each action item and develop a prioritized list.

The “benefit”, “cost”, and overall “priority” of each mitigation action item was included in the Mitigation Actions Matrix located in Element C: Mitigation Strategy. A more technical assessment will be required in the event grant funding is pursued through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. FEMA Benefit-Cost Analysis Guidelines are discussed below.

FEMA Benefit-Cost Analysis Guidelines
The Stafford Act authorizes the President to establish a program to provide technical and financial assistance to state and local governments to assist in the implementation of hazard mitigation measures that are cost effective and designed to substantially reduce injuries, loss of life, hardship, or the risk of future damage and destruction of property. To evaluate proposed hazard mitigation projects prior to funding FEMA requires a Benefit-Cost Analysis (BCA) to validate cost effectiveness. BCA is the method by which the future benefits of a mitigation project are estimated and compared to its cost. The end result is a benefit-cost ratio (BCR), which is derived from a project’s total net benefits divided by its total project cost.

The BCR is a numerical expression of the cost effectiveness of a project. A project is considered to be cost effective when the BCR is 1.0 or greater, indicating the benefits of a prospective hazard mitigation project are sufficient to justify the costs.

Although the preparation of a BCA is a technical process, FEMA has developed software, written materials, and
training to support the effort and assist with estimating the expected future benefits over the useful life of a retrofit project. It is imperative to conduct a BCA early in the project development process to ensure the likelihood of meeting the cost-effective eligibility requirement in the Stafford Act.

The BCA program consists of guidelines, methodologies,
and software modules for a range of major natural hazards including:

✓ Flood (Riverine, Coastal Zone A, Coastal Zone V)
✓ Hurricane Wind
✓ Hurricane Safe Room
✓ Damage-Frequency Assessment

Q: Does the plan include a status update for all mitigation actions identified in the previous mitigation plan? (Requirement 44 CFR § 201.6(d)(3))
A: See Comments below.

Q&A | ELEMENT E: PLAN UPDATE | E2-c.

Q: Does the plan describe how jurisdictions integrated the mitigation plan, when appropriate, into other planning mechanisms? (Requirement 44 CFR § 201.6(d)(3)) A: See Authority below.

Changes in Development
Since the 2018 HMP, only minor rehabilitation and infill projects have been completed in La Puente. Projections for the next 5 year period are expected to follow the same pattern. These changes in development have caused no significant changes in vulnerability.

Changes in Community Priorities
Equally important are the changes in priorities to the plan update itself since the writing of the 2018 HMP. The most important change in priorities was to restructure the physical organization of the plan to align with FEMA Plan Review Tool. The restructuring eliminates a great deal of redundancy and makes for an easier read – for staff, the public, and the formal reviewers at Cal OES and FEMA. In addition to the restructuring of the document, new content has been added to address the requirements of the 2025 FEMA Local Mitigation Planning Policy Guide. • Executive Summary: new section summarizes the planning process and community outreach activities, and
• Element A: Planning Process - several stakeholder categories were added along with a much more robust community outreach strategy, and
• Element B: Risk Assessment – now delivered in two parts with one part focusing on hazards and the one part focusing on vulnerability and impacts. The recent availability of an updated Fire Hazard Severity Zone map resulted in an increased hazard ranking for wildfire, and
• Element C: Mitigation Strategy – now includes the capability assessment, plan goals, and a more detailed Mitigation Actions Matrix, and
• Element D: Plan Maintenance – added details about integrating the mitigation plan into other documents, and
• Element E: Plan Update - a new section summarizing the details involved in scheduling, funding, and executing future updates to the plan, and Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2026

All mitigation action items from the 2018 HMP are included in the 2025 Mitigation Actions Matrix. The “Comments” column indicates status including whether an action item has been deleted, revised. New action items are identified as “new” in the Comments column.

Authority
Federal Authority
The city is not required to prepare a Mitigation Plan, but state and federal regulations encourage it with financial incentives. The federal Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Act, amended by the Disaster Management Act of 2000, creates a federal framework for local hazard mitigation planning. It states that jurisdictions that wish to be eligible for federal hazard mitigation grant funding must prepare a hazard mitigation plan that meets a certain set of guidelines and submit this plan to FEMA for review and approval. The following regulations and guidelines apply to this plan:

California Government Code Section 8685.9 (also known as Assembly Bill 2140) limits the State of California's share of disaster relief funds paid out to local governments to 75 percent of the funds not paid for by federal disaster relief efforts unless the jurisdiction has adopted a valid hazard mitigation plan consistent with the Disaster Management Act of 2000 and has incorporated the hazard mitigation plan into the jurisdiction's general plan. In these cases, the State may cover more than 75 percent of the remaining disaster relief costs.

All cities and counties in California must prepare a General Plan, including a Safety Element that addresses various hazard conditions and other public safety issues. The Element may be a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2026

stand-alone chapter or incorporated into another section, as the community wishes. California Government Code Section 65302.6 indicates that a community may adopt a mitigation plan into its Safety Element if the mitigation plan meets applicable state requirements. This allows communities to use the mitigation plan to satisfy state requirements for Safety Elements. As the General Plan is an overarching long-term plan for community growth and development, incorporating the mitigation plan into it creates a stronger mechanism for implementing the mitigation plan.

California Government Code Section 65302 (G)(4)
California Government Code Section 65302 (g)(4), also known as Senate Bill (SB) 379, requires that the General Plan Safety Element address the hazards created or exacerbated by climate change. The Element must identify how climate change is expected to affect hazard conditions in the community and include measures to adapt and be more resilient to these anticipated changes. Because the mitigation plan can be incorporated into the Safety Element, including these items in the mitigation plan can satisfy the state requirement. SB 379 requires that climate change be addressed in the Safety Element when the mitigation plan is updated after January 1, 2017, for communities that already have a mitigation plan, or by January 1, 2022, for communities without a FEMA-approved mitigation plan.

Passed in 2006, Assembly Bill No. 2140 (AB 2140) allows California counties and cities to be considered for additional state cost-share on eligible Public Assistance projects by adopting their current, FEMA-approved local hazard mitigation plans (LHMPs) into the Safety Element of their General Plan. This adoption, along with other requirements, makes the county or city eligible to be considered for part or all of its local-share costs on eligible Public Assistance projects to be provided by the state through the California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA).

AB 2140 compliance is not a requirement; however, if the City is compliant, it is eligible to be considered for up to an additional 6.25% local share to be funded by the state, essentially covering the entire local-share cost for eligible Public Assistance projects in the future. It’s important to note that AB 2140 compliance expires when the 2018 HMP expired and in order to continue compliance, the City of La Puente must re-adopt the 2025 HMP itself and adopt the HMP into the City’s General Plan – Community Safety Element when the HMP is updated. Each time, the jurisdiction must provide the necessary documentation when seeking AB 2140 compliance – e.g. resolution(s) and direction to the appropriate section(s) of the General Plan – Community Safety Element.

In order to issue a letter of AB 2140 compliance, Cal OES will review and verify that the City of La Puente has performed the following:
✓ Has a current, FEMA-approved or approvable pending adoption (APA) HMP. ✓ Formally adopted the LHMP via resolution.
✓ Formally adopted the most current, approved HMP into the General Plan – Community Safety Element via resolution.
✓ Included language within the General Plan – Community Safety Element that references the HMP.
✓ Included a web link, appendix, or language within the Community Safety Element that directs the public to the most current, approved HMP in its entirety. ✓ E-mailed the link to the updated General Plan – Community Safety Element web page along with the signed, adoption resolution(s) to the Cal OES AB 2140 inbox [email protected] for review and approval.

In closing, the City of La Puente’s 2025 HMP is consistent with current standards and regulations, as outlined by the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and FEMA. It uses the best available science, and its mitigation actions/strategies reflect best practices and community values. It meets the requirements of current state and federal guidelines and makes the city eligible for all appropriate benefits under state and federal law and practices. Note that while FEMA is responsible for reviewing and approving this mitigation plan and Cal OES is responsible for conducting a preliminary review, it does not grant FEMA or Cal OES any increased role in the governance of the City or authorize either agency to take any specific action in the community.

Element F: Plan Adoption
Q&A | ELEMENT F: PLAN ADOPTION | F1-a.

Q: Does the participant include documentation of adoption? (Requirement 44 CFR § 201.6(c)(5)) A: See Plan Adoption Process below.

Plan Adoption Process
Adoption of the plan by the local governing body will demonstrate the City of La Puente’s commitment to meeting mitigation goals and objectives. Governing body approval legitimizes the plan and authorizes responsible agencies to execute their responsibilities.

The Second Draft Plan was submitted to Cal OES and FEMA for review and approval. When Cal OES determines the plan to be compliant, the document will be forwarded to FEMA. When FEMA determined the plan to be compliant, an Approvable Pending Adoption notice was issued. That now triggers the City Council to conduct a public meeting. Staff will recommend adoption of the Final Draft Plan. Assuming adoption by the City Council, the signed resolution will be forwarded to FEMA along with a request for a FEMA Letter of Approval.

In preparation for the public meeting with the City Council, the Planning Team will post the Final Draft Plan on the City’s website. Notification of the Plan’s availability will also be announced via the mediums utilized during the community outreach activities. Also, the Team will prepare a staff report including an overview of the Planning Process, Risk Assessment, Mitigation Goals, and Mitigation Actions. The staff presentation will include a summary of the input received during the community outreach activities. The meeting participants will be encouraged to present their views and make suggestions on possible mitigation actions.

The City Council will hear the item on _____. The City Council voted to ______ the Final Draft of the Hazard Mitigation Plan. The Resolution of adoption by the City Council is below:

Planning Team Meeting #1 (Virtual)
November 21, 2023
Attendees
Carolyn Harshman (Emergency Planning Consultants)
Abraham Tellez, Planning Team Chair
John DiMario
Pete Goodrich
Ricardo Carrillo
Adriana Dominguez

1. Reviewed the purpose of hazard mitigation and examples of mitigation activities.

2. Discussed the concepts and terms related to hazard mitigation planning.

3. Reviewed the Project Schedule and Community Outreach Strategy.

Schedule - Five meetings lasting 2-hours will be held on a monthly basis.

Outreach Strategy – Lengthy discussion on need for robust outreach throughout the entire planning process. Lots of ideas from the Team about integrating into existing public forums and venues. The consultant emphasized the efficiency and effectiveness of taking the messaging to meetings and gatherings that already exist. Examples could include CERT, Senior Center gatherings, Commission meetings, Area D meetings, etc.

The consultant will provide a sample press release and flyer (with QR code) to direct readers to the City’s website. Need to establish a dedicated webpage to the project where minutes, announcements, draft plans, survey, etc. can be posted. Also, it’s important that a record be kept of outreach activities (e.g., dates, screenshots, photo, etc.).

4. Discussed hazards identified in the City’s 2018 Hazard Mitigation Plan – earthquake, flooding, landslide, dam failure, windstorm, drought, human-caused and technological hazards. The consultant shared hazard intensity maps and other information on each of the hazards. The discussion yielded a decision to isolate flooding to only “urban flooding” based on the updated Safety Element. Also, the Safety Element identifies specific locations vulnerable to urban flooding that should be included in the plan update.

5. Team using Calculated Priority Risk Index to rank hazards for 2025 HMP.

The Team worked through CPRI to determine a hazard priority ranking for earthquake, landslide, dam failure, wildfire, disease, flood, and extreme weather. The highest ranked hazards were earthquake, landslide, and dam failure.

6. Request for Pertinent Documents:
a. Capital Improvement Program, General Plan Safety Element, Emergency Operations Plan.

1. Recapped Meeting #2 including project schedule, Capability Assessment, and Mitigation Actions Matrix.

2. Extensive discussion on the implementation of FEMA’s new regulations impacting local hazard mitigation plans. The consultant explained that her company had submitted its first plan under the “new rules” and is now able to gain a better understanding of the “interpretations” by the Cal OES and FEMA reviewers. As the plan gets deeper into the formal review, it will become more clear what information will need to be added to the La Puente plan update.

3. Introduced the HAZUS maps and reports. The maps will be included in the plan while the reports will be attached separately.

4. Team members continued to provide status updates on the 2018 Mitigation Actions Matrix.

The consultant added implementation actions from the General Plan Safety Element to the Matrix. The Team members assisted with completing the required information for each of those items. Also, Team members discussed new mitigation action ideas.

5. Meeting #4 scheduled for December 20, 2023. The Initial Draft Plan will be sent to the Team member one week in advance of the meeting. Team members were asked to reserve time in their schedules to review the Draft in advance – particularly the areas that relate directly to the department they represent.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. D.5
To: Mayor and City Council For meeting of: February 10, 2026 From: Bob Lindsey, City Manager
By: Abraham Tellez, Director of Development Services
Subject: CONSIDERATION OF AUTHORIZATION TO SOLICIT BIDS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE LA PUENTE PARK ACTIVITY CENTER BUILDING AT 501 GLENDORA AVENUE

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In September 2018 the La Puente City Council approved a city-wide La Puente City Parks Master Plan (“Parks Master Plan”). The Parks Master Plan included extensive community outreach efforts that included design visioning of the City’s parks. Within the Parks Master Plan, La Puente Park, being the largest publicly accessible open space in the City was identified as the primary focal point of the Parks Master Plan that would guide the park’s build-out and transformation that we see today.

During and following the Covid-19 pandemic, the City successfully constructed the majority of the park’s primary components with the exception of one (1) final phase, a multi-purpose activity center building. State grant funding through the California Department of Parks and Recreation, as well as federal funding through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Community Project Funding (CPF) program is awarded and will be used for the construction of the activity center building and related landscaping and parking improvements.

While the City’s project architect, Westberg + White, Inc. is finalizing design changes that will be included as addendum during the bidding period, the construction plans and specifications are adequate and complete for bidding.

The proposed project involves the construction of a 4,077 square foot activity center building with an attached 560 square foot retractable pergola. The project also involves exterior site improvements immediately surrounding the new building such as landscape and hardscape improvements (see Plans and Specifications, Attachment “A”).

Plans, specifications, and cost estimates for construction of the subject project have been completed. The project is ready to be advertised as a formal bid with the projected value of $4,000,000.

The following is the proposed schedule for bidding an construction of this Project:

February 10, 2026 Authorization to Solicit Bids
February 16, 2026 Bid Posting/Publication
March 17, 2026 Submittal Deadline/Bid Opening
April 14, 2026 Bid Award (Tenative)
April 20, 2026 Begin Construction (Projected)
Agenda Report – AUTHORIZATION TO SOLICIT BIDS FOR ACTIVITY CENTER For City Council And Successor Agency Meeting of February 10, 2026
