City Council Staff Report

Date: February 18, 2026
Agenda Item Number: 9.A.

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Timothy Hou, Director of Community Development
Subject: Discussion of Potential Legal Challenges to Inclusionary Housing Ordinances Statewide

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Receiving and filing the report and presentation;

2. Providing direction to staff; and

3. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

Executive Summary:

This report provides a status report regarding the effectiveness of Inclusionary Housing Ordinances (IHO). Recent events, including a California Supreme Court ruling and litigation settlement involving the City of East Palo Alto, suggest that enforcing IHO requirements may face significant legal hurdles. The City Council should consider providing direction regarding whether the City should continue suspension of the Monterey Park inclusionary housing regulations.

Background:

Program 15 of the City’s certified 2021–2029 Housing Element requires the City to consider an inclusionary housing program requiring certain residential and mixed-use projects to provide a percentage of affordable units. Alternatives include off-site construction, payment of an in-lieu fee, or land dedication for affordable housing.

To implement Program 15, the City Council adopted an IHO on September 6, 2023, including a formula for calculating in-lieu fees based on the “affordability gap” between market-rate and affordable prices. On the same date, Council directed staff to evaluate the IHO’s financial feasibility. The City partnered with San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) and engaged Economic & Planning Systems (EPS) to conduct a feasibility study.

• January 17, 2024: EPS presented findings indicating that IHO requirements could pose

financial challenges for new residential projects, especially smaller and mid-sized developments. Council voted to pause enforcement for one year. • January 15, 2025: EPS updated its analysis, concluding that IHO requirements remain financially challenging and may deter new housing development, despite some improvement in market conditions. Council extended the pause and directed staff to:

1. Adjust IHO requirements to ensure projects qualify for State Density Bonus incentives.

2. Adopt an in-lieu fee equivalent to or higher than the cost of providing on-site units.

In late 2025, staff worked with EPS to refine the scope of work for another update, including testing phased implementation models and aligning requirements with State Density Bonus programs.

Recent Public Law Developments

Last year, the United States Supreme Court (SCOTUS) reaffirmed and extended the legal requirements between governmental exactions on private projects and constitutionally protected property rights. In Sheetz v. County of El Dorado, SCOTUS unanimously held that local governments cannot escape constitutional limits on development conditions simply by adopting them through generally applicable legislation rather than case-by-case permitting decisions. This means that cities must be prepared to show a reasonable connection and proportionality between legislatively adopted impact fees and the specific impacts of proposed projects.

Adopting an IHO – which imposes uniform requirements on residential project – may not, therefore, survive judicial scrutiny. California already has examples of legal challenges to IHOs: the City of East Palo Alto settled a case challenging its IHO regulations which resulted in approval of a residential project – without inclusionary housing – and payment of the plaintiff’s legal costs (See Attachment 1).

Policy Considerations

The City’s IHO may face similar scrutiny if applied to housing developments without individualized nexus studies or alternative compliance options. Should the City Council wish to enforce its inclusionary housing regulations, it is recommended that the Monterey Park Municipal Code (“MPMC”) be amended to align it with current legal requirements. Note that the need for individualized nexus studies to justify IHO requirements would increase the administrative burden, lengthen the entitlement process for applicants, and may not ultimately find the requisite legal findings.

Continuing to pause implementation of the IHO could remove cost and administrative hurdles, potentially accelerating housing production and indirectly improving affordability. Research suggests that increasing market-rate housing supply can slow rent growth.

The City has experienced strong development interest since the IHO pause began in 2023.

Alternative policies remain available, such as the California Density Bonus Law incentives, as another viable pathway to promote affordable housing.

Staff recommends that Council consider the following options and provide staff direction to prepare necessary actions:

1. Amend the IHO to align with recent legal developments and incorporate exemptions (e.g., SB 9 projects); or

2. Continue the pause on IHO requirements pending further analysis.

Strategic Plan Goal:

The updated IHO feasibility study by EPS supports the City’s goal of strengthening the local economy and enhancing housing opportunities by evaluating and providing the City Council with insights on how a housing policy designed to create affordable housing at various income levels can either facilitate or hinder the City’s economic growth.

Fiscal Impact:

There are no identifiable fiscal impacts associated with the discussion of potential legal challenges as the City’s IHO has been paused since shortly after adoption in 2023.

EAST PALO ALTO

CITY COUNCIL

STAFF REPORT

DATE: November 18, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
BY: John D. Lê, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Approval of Settlement Agreement

Recommendation

By motion, approve and authorize the City Attorney to sign a settlement agreement in the matter of Yu v. City of East Palo Alto (25-cv-06456).

Alignment with City Council Strategic Plan

This recommendation is primarily aligned with:

 Priority: Governance, Organizational Strength, and Fiscal Sustainability

Background

On July 31, 2025, the City Clerk was served with a lawsuit by and through the Pacific Legal Foundation, who represents Mr. Wesly Yu.

The City retained legal counsel Michael Colantuono and Pamela Graham, Colantuono Highsmith Whatley LLP.

In September 2025, as part of a larger effort to facilitate SB 9 lot splits, the City Council adopted an amendment to the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (Ordinance No. 06-2025) to exempt parcels that are given a n approval under SB 9 from the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance . The amendment mooted Mr. Yu’s claims.

The City’s legal counsel informed Mr. Yu of the ordinance. Mr. Yu’s counsel informed the City on October 20, 2025, that they intend to dismiss their suit, but would seek attorney’s fees.

Analysis

COUNCIL REPORTS 3.4

Although the City may vigorously defend its rights in a court of law, in the interest of conserving resources, the City Council has decided to settle this matter. Recently, the Council met in closed session to consider settlement options. At that time, direction was given to staff concerning how to proceed with settlement.

The City Attorney returns to open session to approve a payment of $5,000 to settle the matter.

The settlement agreement is available upon request.

Fiscal Impact

The proposed settlement would involve payment of $5,000, which will be covered from FY25-26 budget savings in General Fund. No new appropriation is necessary.

Public Notice

The public was provided notice by making the agenda and report available on the City’s website and on a bulletin board located at City Hall: 2415 University Avenue, East Palo Alto.

EAST PALO ALTO

CITY COUNCIL

STAFF REPORT

DATE: September 10, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: John D. Lê, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Amendment of Inclusionary Housing Ordinance

Recommendation

1. Waiving first reading and introducing an ordinance amending Chapter 18.37 of the East Palo Alto Municipal Code (“Inclusionary Housing”) to facilitate lot splits pursuant to Government Code Section 66411.7 (“SB 9”); and

2. Find that the proposed action does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378. Even if it were a project subject to CEQA review, this proj ect would be exempt from CEQA Guideline Section 15378(d) (regulatory actions), Section 15061(b)(3) (common sense exemption), Section 15378(b)(4) (funding government services), Section 15183 (actions consistent with the general plan and zoning) and Section 15195 (residential infill development).

Alignment with City Council Strategic Plan

This recommendation is primarily aligned with:

 Promote Housing, Economic and Workforce Development

Background

The City of East Palo Alto’s approach to inclusionary housing and lot splits has evolved in response to both local housing needs and significant changes in state law. The City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, codified in Chapter 18.37 of the East Palo Alto Municipal Code, was adopted to ensure that new residential development contributes to the production of affordable housing for a range of income levels, including 35% AMI, very low, low, median, and moderate-income households. The ordinance requires that all residential development projects creating new dwelling units are subject to inclusionary requirements, with specific exemptions 4

POLICY & ACTION 3.1

410507.1
outlined in Section 18.37.040, such as developments governed by pre -existing development agreements or those exempted under certain provisions of the Subdivision Map Act or other provisions of the Government Code.

The City’s authority to regulate subdivisions and lot splits is derived from the State Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Section 66410 et seq.), which establishe s the legal framework for the division of land in California. The City’s subdivision regulations, found in Article 5 of Title 18 of the Municipal Code, are intended to supplement and implement the Act, regulate the design and improvement of land divisions, and promote orderly growth, public safety, and the goals of the General Plan. These local regulations must be applied in conjunction with state law, and in the event of any conflict, state law prevails.

In 2021, the California Legislature enacted Senate Bill 9 (SB 9), which amended Government Code Sections 65852.21 and 66411.7 to require local agencies to approve, on a ministerial basis, certain lot splits and the development of up to two primary dwelling units on single-family zoned parcels. SB 9 was des igned to facilitate small-scale residential infill, address the state’s housing shortage, and expand homeownership opportunities by streamlining the approval process for eligible projects. Under SB 9, local governments are limited to applying only objective zoning, subdivision, and design standards, and may not impose discretionary review or additional requirements beyond those specified in state law.

On April 24, 2024, the City Council approved and the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) certified the City’s Housing Element Update (RHNA 5 Cycle), a document in which HCD recognized that the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance prevented displacement, addressed inequities, affirmatively furthered fair housing, and functioned as a tool to increase affordable housing. At the same time, the document also included pledges from the City to conduct a periodic assessment of the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance to evaluate changing market and financing conditions and rising development costs and which committed the City to conducting a financial feasibility analysis that would assess the impact of governmental constraints, including inclusionary housing requirements, on the financial feasibility of future projects , as such an analysis would provide us eful information for a subsequent assessment of the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance.

The City’s General Plan, including the Housing Element, and strategic plans such as the Vista 2035 General Plan, establish a policy framework that prioritizes housing affordability, equitable growth, and compliance with state housing mandates. These local planning document s are written so that the City may align its local ordinances with state law, promote a mix of housing types, and ensure that new development supports the City’s regional housing needs allocation (RHNA). The Housing Element specifically id entifies the need to facilitate SB 9 projects and to monitor their implementation as part of the City’s strategy to meet moderate -income housing targets (sometimes referred to as the “missing middle”).

Legal and regulatory considerations for amending Section 18.37.040 include ensuring that local inclusionary housing requirements do not conflict with the ministerial approval mandates of SB 9, and that any exemptions or alternative compliance options are consistent with both the Subdivision Map Act and Government Code Sections 65852.21 and 66411.7. 5

POLICY & ACTION 3.1

410507.1

Ethical and community considerations include the need to balance the City’s commitment to affordable housing with the rights of property owners to utilize new state entitlements for lot splits and duplexes. The City’s inclusionary housing program is designed to ensure that the burdens of new development are shared broadly across project types and that affordable units are integrated into new projects, with standards for comparability, location, and amenities set forth in Section 18.37.060. The City also maintains ongoing monitoring and compliance mechanisms, including the requirement for inclusionary housing agreements and annual reporting.

In summary, the proposed amendment to Section 18.37.040 is situated w ithin a broader legal and policy context that may signal that the City may well consider harmonizing its inclusionary housing regulations with state mandates for ministerial lot splits and small -scale residential development, while upholding the goals of the General Plan and ensuring transparency and public participation in the amendment process. In short, based on the foregoing, staff recommends that the Council make these harmonizing amendments to the attached ordinance.

Analysis

The proposed amendm ent to Section 18.37.040 of Chapter 18.37 (Inclusionary Housing Ordinance) of the East Palo Alto Municipal Code is intended to facilitate lot splits pursuant to Government Code Section 66411.7, commonly known as Senate Bill 9 (SB 9). In support of this effort, the City of East Palo Alto has undertaken a series of actions to ensure that its local regulations remain consistent with evolving state law and to clarify the applicability of inclusionary housing requirements to SB 9 projects.

Since 2019, Council’s actions have been guided by the requirements of Chapter 18.37 of the East Palo Alto Municipal Code, which mandates that all residential development projects creating new dwelling units are subject to the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, and that alternative compliance options must be approved by the City Council based on findings of equivalent or greater public benefit. The Council’s approach has consistently emphasized the need to align local inclusionary housing requirements with state law, particularly t he ministerial approval processes mandated by SB 9, while maintaining the City’s commitment to affordable housing production.

The current recommendation to amend the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance reflects the Council’s ongoing efforts since at least 2021 to consider its local regulatory regime within a large state system of regulation, and to reconcile its inclusionary housing regulations with state legislation where appropriate, ensuring compliance with local laws within the larger context of state law allowing for SB 9 lot splits and duplexes, and ensur ing that affordable housing obligations are met in a manner consistent with both local policy and state mandates.

Fiscal Impact

The proposed amendment to Section 18.37.040 of Chapter 18.37 (Inclusionary Housing) of the East Palo Alto Municipal Code, intended to facilitate lot splits pursuant to Government Code Section 66411.7 (“SB 9”), is not anticipated to result in a direct fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund. As previously stated, the a mendment is designed to align local inclusionary housing 6

POLICY & ACTION 3.1

410507.1
requirements with state mandates for ministerial lot splits and small -scale residential development, ensuring compliance with both the Subdivision Map Act and Government Code provisions governing lot splits and housing approvals.

The City’s inclusionary housing program is structured so that the costs associated with the provision of affordable units necessary to mitigate the impacts of development , or the payment of in-lieu fees, are borne by project applicants rather than the City. For residential developments subject to inclusionary requirements, developers may either provide required affordable units on-site, pay an in -lieu fee, or pursue an alternative compliance option, subject to City Council approval. In-lieu fees collected under this program are deposited into the City’s Housing Fund and are restricted for use in the development, acquisition, or rehabilitation of affordable housing, as well as for administration and compliance monitoring of the inclusionary housing program.

The amendment does not alter the existing structure for the collection or allocation of these funds.

The amendment, however, is designed to exempt certain small -scale projects (SB 9) and as such in-lieu fees for such projects would no longer generate new revenue for the City, although the amount of that potential loss may not be large given that in-lieu fees are by definition an alternative to the requirement to either build or deed restrict onsite units . On the other hand , if the exemption catalyzes development of small-scale projects, it could have a salutary impact on the General Fund in the form of real property taxes upon tax reassessment.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL

OF THE CITY OF EAST PALO ALTO

AMENDING SECTION 18.37.040 (EXEMPTIONS) OF ARTICLE I II (REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL ZONES) OF CHAPTER 18.37 (INCLUSIONARY HOUSING) OF

THE EAST PALO ALTO MUNICIPAL CODE TO FACILITATE LOT SPLITS PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 66411.7 (“SB 9”)

WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 65580(d) states that all cities have a responsibility to use the powers vested in them to facilitate the improvement and development of housing and to make adequate provision for the housing needs of all economic segments of the community; and
WHEREAS, at a duly noticed public hearing held on September 23, 2019, the Planning Commission considered adding Chapter 18.37 to the Municipal Code; and WHEREAS, by Resolution PC 2019 -08, on September 23, 2019, the Planning Commission recommended the City Council adopt the City's current Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (Chapter 18.37); and
WHEREAS, the East Palo Alto City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on October 15, 2019 to consider the proposed addition of Chapter 18.37 to the Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, on November 19, 2019, the East Palo Alto City Council found and declared, and on that basis adopted the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, codified at 18.37.010 et seq., that the demand for housing in the City and the region more generally had increased steadily in recent years, that the City had and continues to have dire need for affordable housing as identified in its Housing Element (which has only increased substantially since that time ), that the lack of affordable housing is a public health, safety and welfare issue well within the City’s police power authority to address, and that the construction of market-rate housing exacerbates this problem because such housing increases the demand for services, the presence of service employees (e.g., construction, maintenance, food service, and administrati ve jobs), and the need for affordable housing to accommodate such workers; and
WHEREAS, several significant changes have occurred since the City adopted its current Inclusionary Housing Ordinance; and

242

WHEREAS, first, as housing affordability remains a significant issue in the State of California, the Legislature has adopted over 50 significant bills since 2019 that affect and incentivize the creation of housing, including SB 9 (2021), which aimed to address the State’s severe housing shortage by making it easier to create new, smaller housing units on existing single -family lots ( i.e., to provide for the “missing middle”), thereby increasing the overall housing supply; and
WHEREAS, the East Palo Alto City Council approved and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) certified the City’s Housing Element Update (RHNA 5 Cycle) on April 24, 2024, a document in which HCD recognized that the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance prevented displacement, addressed inequities, affirmatively furthered fair housing, and function ed as a tool to increase affordable housing; yet at the same time that document also included pledges from the City to conduct a periodic assessment of the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance to evaluate changing market and financing conditions and rising development costs (“Evaluate the effectiveness of the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance”) and which committed the City to conduct a financial feasibility analysis that would assess the impact of governmental constraints, including inclusionary housing requirements, on the financial feasibility of future projects as such an analysis would provide useful information for a subsequent assessment of the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, since the last local election in 2024, the East Palo Alto City Council publicly noted the need to consider potential amendments to the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance to address various iss ues, including incentivizing housing development; and
WHEREAS, the East Palo Alto Council recognizes that while the City of East Palo Alto has the plenary police power authority to provide for affordable housing through various local laws, including a robust Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, it also has a desire to support the construction of housing for the “missing middle” —households that can afford market -rate housing but not expensive single -family homes, as has been increasingly common in the greater Bay Area.

City Council Staff Report

Date: February 18, 2026
Agenda Item Number: 10.A.

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Martha Garcia, Director of Finance
Laura Borjon, Finance Manager
Subject: FY 2025-2026 Mid-Year Financial Report

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Receiving and filing the FY 2025-2026 Mid-Year Financial Report;

2. Authorizing the increase of Committed Catastrophic Event and Working Capital by $150,000 from $11.84 million to $11.99 million;

3. Authorizing an additional budget appropriation of $4,774,145 from various funds; and

4. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

Executive Summary:

The City’s Mid-Year Report compares the revenues and expenditures occurring during the first six months of the fiscal year against budgeted amounts to determine appropriate adjustments; provides links between the City budget, the financial records, and the independent financial audit; and compares revenues earned and expenses made during the first six months of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2026 against the FY 2024–2025 figures.

Background:

General Fund Revenues
The City receives revenues from taxation, State or Federal intergovernmental transfers, and user charges. The following table depicts a comparison of FY 2024-2025 Mid-Year revenues received versus FY 2025-2026 Mid-Year revenues received.

Total General Fund revenue collections are at 34% of total estimated revenues with half of the year complete. This is below 50% because certain revenues have a delay in when they are received by the City; specifically, it only represents four months of Sales Tax revenue, four months of Franchise Fee revenue, and approximately 24% of property tax revenue. Because the City has a diverse revenue basis for total General Fund revenues, changes to a specific revenue source will not have profound impacts overall.

General Fund Expenditures

Total year-to-date departmental expenses are slightly over the 50% budget mark with total FY 2025-26 expended at 50.9% of the budget.

The City is monitoring its revenues closely and is controlling its expenditures in a prudent and fiscally responsible manner.

Proposed Mid-Year Budget Changes:

General Fund:
• $1,000,000 for the Fire Station 63 renovation project. • $1,000,000 for the Barnes Park Pool project.
• $250,000 for tree plantings throughout the City.
• $150,000 for fire training services.
• $298,232 for various expenditures including increased costs of operating supplies, unanticipated landscaping and fencing needs throughout city parks.

Special Revenue Funds:
• Proposition A funds in the amount of $683,975 for the Sierra Vista Park Playground Project.
• Proposition A funds in the amount of $140,000 for public transportation services. • Proposition C funds in the amount of $181,512 for pavement improvements. • Measure W funds in the amount of $241,000 for street sweeping services. • Ground Emergency Medical Transportation (GEMT) funds in the amount of $330,000 for emergency transportation services.
• COVID Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds in the amount of $115,000 for purchases of supplies and/or services that will help reduce the spread of COVID-19 by surface transmission.
• Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Grant funds received from CalRecycle in the amount of $49,426 for HHW collection at City-sponsored community clean-up events.

Enterprise Funds:
• Water funds in the amount of $167,000 for the cost of a necessary software upgrade and carbon for water treatment operations.

Internal Service Funds:
• Building Maintenance funds in the amount of $25,000 to cover the cost of office furniture replacement at the City Yard.

General Fund Balance

The City Council has established an Unrestricted General Fund Balance of a minimum of two months of the General Fund regular revenues or operating expenditures, as recommended by the Government Finance Officers’ Association (GFOA).

The City’s Unrestricted General Fund Balance represents the available resources to provide funding for future contingencies such as earthquakes, civil unrest, economic fluctuations, major infrastructure repairs and investment in capital for improved productivity and efficiencies. Inadequate reserves increase financial risk, negatively impact cash flow, and reduce the City’s ability to attract and sustain economic development and growth.

The City’s General Fund balance committed for catastrophic events and working capital is established at $11.84M. The City Council may wish to increase or decrease this amount, with the goal of providing an amount equivalent to 15 to 20 percent of the City’s annual operating budget for the General Fund. This range should be sufficient to allow for a quick and decisive municipal response to events such as natural disasters, catastrophic accidents, or other declared emergency incidents. The City Council may, by the affirming vote of three members, change the amount of this commitment and/or the specific uses of these monies.

The City is recommending a $150,000 increase each fiscal year to maintain the overall Committed Catastrophic/Working Capital Event reserves to 15 percent of the City’s annual General Fund operating budget. At this time, the City is requesting to increase its Committed- Catastrophic amount by $150,000 from $11.84M to $11.99M for the year ending June 30, 2026, to secure higher unrestricted reserves in the event of a catastrophic occurrence.

Strategic Plan Goal:

The FY2025-26 Mid-Year Financial Report meets the strategic plan goal of maintaining stability of our City's fiscal and human resources by monitoring its revenues closely and controlling its expenditures in a prudent and fiscally responsible manner.

Fiscal Impact:

The City is requesting a mid-year budget augmentation in the amount of $2,698,232 from the General Fund, $823,975 in Proposition A funds, $181,512 in Proposition C funds, $241,000 in Measure W funds, $330,000 in GEMT funds, $115,000 of CDBG funds, $49,426 of Household Hazardous Waste grant funds, $167,000 in Water funds, $71,000 of Shop funds, $25,000 in Building Maintenance Internal Services funds, $72,000 in Technology/Data Processing Internal Services funds for various capital projects, services and commodities. Total budget augmentation request equals $4,774,145.

Mid-Year Budget Report FY 2025-2026

February 18, 2026

Overview

The City’s Mid -Year Report compares the revenues and expenditures during the first six months of the fiscal year against budgeted amounts to determine appropriate adjustments; provides links between the City budget, financial records, and the independent financial audit; and compares revenues earned and expenses made during the first six months of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2026 against the FY 2024-2025 figures.

This information is provided in the following format:

o The starting point is the FY 2024-2025 audited ending fund balances, which is also the beginning Available Fund Balance for FY 2025-2026. Combining the beginning Available Fund Balances with the estimated revenues, transfers, and appropriations adopted in the Budget and this report, provides the estimated ending fund balances.

As a result of a comprehensive review, adjustments are recommended where actual receipts and disbursements are materi ally different from the budgeted amounts.

Although budget adjustments are recommended across several City funds, typically the emphasis of the Mid -Year Budget Report is directed at the General Fund. The General Fund is deemed to be the most critical as it provides most services commonly associated with government (i.e., public safety, recreation, parks, building, public works, planning, etc.) and is limited primarily by tax-generated revenues.

The Mid-Year Report is based on the final Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) or audited financial statements. The ACFR was presented to City Council on December 17, 2025.

Summary of Key Points

The City saw a revenue decline of approximately $954,000 during the first half of FY 2025-26, driven by lower returns in sales tax and service fees. Despite these mid-year shortfalls, the City is anticipating an increase in revenue from prope rty tax, business license tax and service charges & fees and remains on track to meet or exceed its amended $75M General Fund revenue budget.

• Proposed Mid-Year Budget Changes include:
o General Funds in the amount of $2,698,232 for various expenditures including capital projects, costs of operating supplies, unanticipated landscaping and fencing needs throughout city parks.
o Special Revenue Funds in the amount of $1,740,913 for various capital projects and contracted and professional services.
o Enterprise Funds in the amount of $167,000 for the cost of a necessary software

upgrade and carbon for water treatment operations.
o Internal Service Funds in the amount of $168,000.
o Proposed staffing changes net zero new Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) positions and at an increase of $4,332 in salary and benefits.

The City’s General Fund balance committed for catastrophic/working capital events is established at $ 11.84M. These funds should be sufficient to allow for a quick and decisive municipal response to events such as natural disasters, catastrophic accidents, or other declared emergency incidents. The City has prepared a strategic plan to maintain the Committed Catastrophic/Working Capital Event reserves to 15 percent of the City’s annual General Fund operating budget . The current Committed Catastrophic/Working Capital is $11.84M. The plan would consist of Council approval to commit $ 150,000 per fiscal year to catastrophic events as a form to maintain GFOA recommended catastrophic reserves. C urrently, the City is requesting to increase its Committed Catastrophic Events amount by $150K from $11.84M to $11.99M for the year ending June 30, 2026, to secure higher unrestricted reserves in the event of a catastrophic occurrence.

Mid-Year Budget Changes

General Fund Overview

General Fund r evenues are currently 34% collected and expenditures are 55% spent .

This reflects the fact that not all revenues and expenditures occur evenly throughout the fiscal year. Significant variances are discussed later in the report, but in general, this trend is consistent with prior years. As reflected on the following chart, collecting approximately 34% of the General Fund revenues by the mid -point of the fiscal year is consistent with prior year trends.

Mid-Year Budget Report FY 2025-2026

February 18, 2026

General Fund Balance

The City Council has established an Unrestricted General Fund Balance of a minimum of two months of the General Fund regular revenues or operating expenditures, as recommended by the Government Finance Officers’ Association (GFOA).

Unrestricted General Fund Balance:

Committed Fund Balance

The City Council, as the City’s highest level of decision-making authority, may commit fund balance for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal actions taken, such as an ordinance or resolution. These committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the City Council removes or changes the specific use through the same type of formal action taken to establish the commitment. City Council action to commit fund balance needs to occur within the fiscal reporting period; however, the amount can be determined subsequently.

Catastrophic Event - The City of Monterey Park’s General Fund balance committed for catastrophic events is established at $ 8.84M. The City Council may wish to increase or decrease this amount, with the goal of providing an amount equivalent to 15 to 20 percent of the City’s annual operating budget for the General Fund. This range should be sufficient to allow for a quick and decisive municipal response to events such as natural disasters, catastrophic accidents, or other declared emergency incidents. The City Council may, by the affirming vote of three members, change the amount of this commitment and/or the specific uses of these monies.

Working Capital - The City’s General Fund balance committed for the purpose of working capital for the delivery of City services during periods of severe operational budget deficits and to mitigate the effects of major economic uncertainties resulting from unforeseen change in revenues and/or expenditures is established at $3 M. The City Council may wish to increase or decrease this amount, with the goal of providing an amount equivalent to 10- 15 percent of the City’s annual operating budget for the General Fund. This range serves as a sufficient cushion, safeguarding the City’s fiscal health against fluctuations in revenues and costs due to economic volatility. City Council approval shall be required before expending any portion of this committed fund balance. Access to these funds will be reserved for economic emergency situations.

The City has prepared a plan to maintain the Committed Catastrophic/Working Capital Event reserves at a minimum of 15 percent of the City’s annual General Fund operating budget. The current Committed Catastrophic/Working Capital is $11.84M. Currently, the City is requesting to increase its Committed Catastrophic Events amount by $150K from $11.84M to $11.99M for the year ending June 30, 2026.

Mid-Year Budget Report FY 2025-2026

February 18, 2026

Assigned Fund Balance

Amounts that are constrained by the City’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed, should be reported as assigned fund balance. This policy hereby delegates the authority to assign amounts to be used for specific purposes to the City Manager for the purpose of reporting these amounts in the annual financial statements. A few examples of assigned fund balance follow.

• Encumbrances – materials and services on purchase order and contracts which are unperformed
• Re-appropriations – appropriated by the Council for specific projects or programs that were not completed and not encumbered by year end
• Infrastructure Maintenance Projects – amounts to be transferred to the General CIP Fund for such projects in the subsequent fiscal year adopted budget

Unassigned Fund Balance

These are residual positive net resources of the General Fund in excess of what can properly be classified in one of the other four categories.

Amounts Held In Reserve

Funding of General Fund balance targets will come generally from one -time revenues, one-time expenditure savings, excess fund balance (e.g., unused or reversed assignment or commitments), and revenues in excess of projected expenditures. The total goal range for the City’s unrestricted fund balance (includes Commitments and Assignments of fund balance) is 50% of General Fund expenditures.

Conclusions

The City has strong reserves and a diverse revenue stream, which are important as we continue to focus on delivering a wide range of services to our diverse community while managing the City’s budget to maintain fiscal sustainability. The City has implemented a strategic plan to maintain the Committed Catastrophic/Working Capital Event reserves to a minimum of 15 percent of the City’s annual General Fund operating budget. The current Committed Catastrophic/Working Capital is $11.84M. Currently, the City is requesting to increase its Committed Catastrophic Events amount by $150K from $11.84M to $11.99M for the year ending June 30, 2026, to secure higher unrestricted reserves in the event of a catastrophic occurrence.

The City is monitoring its revenues closely and is controlling its expenditures in a prudent and fiscally responsible manner. The City is requesting a mid- year budget augmentation in the amount of $2,698,232 from the General Fund, $823,975 in Proposition A funds, $181,512 in Proposition C funds, $241,000 in Measure W funds, $330,000 in GEMT funds, $115,000 of CDBG funds, $49,426 of Household Hazardous Waste grant funds, $167,000 in Water funds, $71,000 of Shop funds, $25,000 in Building Maintenance Internal Services funds, $72,000 in Technology/Data Processing Internal Services funds for various capital projects, services and commodities. Total budget augmentation request equals $4,774,145.

City Council Staff Report

Date: February 18, 2026
Agenda Item Number: 10.B.

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Diana Garcia, Assistant City Manager
Subject: Adoption of Updated City Seal and Brand Standards

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Approving the updated simplified City seal/logo, motto, official color palette, fonts and comprehensive style guide;

2. Authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to implement the adopted branding elements across City departments and communications; and

3. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

Executive Summary:

The Assistant City Manager recommends City Council approval of an updated, simplified City seal/logo and accompanying brand standards, including official colors, fonts and a style guide.

This effort is the result of several months of collaborative work by staff across multiple City departments, with input from City Council and City Commissioners. This updated logo will be used in various print and digital media, while maintaining the existing City seal as registered with the State of California for official uses. The updated branding preserves the City’s heritage while providing updated tools that function effectively across digital and print platforms.

Background:

The City of Monterey Park’s existing official seal adopted in 1966 is a detailed, traditional emblem centered on the Cascades Waterfall and incorporating the California bear and a U.S. flag shield set against a decorative tile pattern. While the seal’s detail and multiple symbolic elements effectively communicate history and civic identity, its complexity makes it less suitable for printing, embroidery and small-scale uses.

Staff initiated a branding augmentation process to refresh the official City seal with the goal of developing a simplified logo and cohesive style that could be used consistently across departments while preserving the ceremonial use of the traditional seal.

This branding effort represents months of coordinated work by staff across City departments.

As part of the process, City staff worked closely with a professional graphic designer to

develop a simplified City seal/logo and brand system. In addition, City commissioners were invited to meet directly with the graphic designer to provide feedback and perspective, and the proposed logo, official colors, fonts, and style guide were presented at a joint commission meeting held on January 13, 2026.

Additionally, staff met individually with City Council Members to review the updated seal/logo and received direction to proceed with formal adoption.

With a modern logomark, brand guidelines, and branded templates, the City of Monterey Park brand will:
• Be crisper, cleaner, and easier to use across platforms and materials. • Function effectively in digital environments, including websites, social media, presentations, and mobile applications.
• Be supported by a comprehensive style guide that unifies the City’s voice, colors, and fonts.
• Reduce inconsistent public-facing materials by providing clear standards and tools for City staff.

The traditional City seal will continue to be used for ceremonial, legal, and formal purposes, while the simplified logo and branding will support everyday communications and outreach.

Strategic Plan Goal:

This item supports City Council Strategic Goal #6: Enhance Public Communication and Civic Engagement to Reach All Members of Our Community. By refreshing the City seal/logo and visual branding materials, the City strengthens visual consistency and improves how information is communicated across all platforms.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with adopting a new logo. City staff will gradually update the logo on physically printed items as they need replacement.

The city seal and the updated city logo serve distinct purposes: the seal represents the city's official and historical identity, used for formal documents and government functions, while the logo is a modern visual tool for branding and public communication. The city logo is not replacing the seal; instead, both will coexist, each fulfilling its unique role in representing the city.

City Council Staff Report

Date: February 18, 2026
Agenda Item Number: 10.C.

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Scott Wiese, Police Chief
Subject: Receive and File Annual Military Equipment Report Per Assembly Bill No. 481

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Receiving and filing the Annual Military Equipment Report per Assembly Bill No. 481; and

2. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

Executive Summary:

On May 18, 2022, the Monterey Park City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2222 approving a military equipment use policy (Monterey Park Police Department – Policy 709) pursuant to Assembly Bill No. 481 (“AB 481”). In accordance with AB 481 and Policy 709, a military equipment report must be submitted to the City Council annually for each type of military equipment approved within one year of approval, and annually thereafter for as long as the military equipment is available for use. In compliance with AB 481, outlined below is the 2025 MPPD Annual Military Equipment Report.

It is recommended the City Council receive and file the Annual Military Equipment Report per Assembly Bill No. 481.

Background:

The City of Monterey Park traditionally celebrates its “birthday” each May with a four-day celebration in Barnes Park, “Happy Birthday Monterey Park, Play Days.” The festivities include carnival rides, games, food trucks, and live entertainment. Separately, the City also hosts the Electric Park music event, a growing annual celebration of Electronic Music that fosters community engagement and cultural enrichment.

Building on the success of the past Play Days Beer Garden and the Electric Park Beer Garden, the City aims to continue this feature in 2026. Beer gardens at both events were well received by the community, providing a safe and enjoyable experience while raising valuable funds for the Alhambra Educational Foundation. Given the success of last year’s events, City staff has engaged the Alhambra Educational Foundation once again, and they have confirmed their interest in hosting the Beer Garden at both events. The Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is confident that this opportunity will continue to generate additional funds to support and enhance the educational programs of the Alhambra Unified School District.

Background:

Over the past several years, Harold’s Key Shop has provided the City with reliable routine and complex commercial locksmith services for the preservation of public property. In FY24-25, the Public Works department initiated a citywide re-key project with Harold’s Key Shop to improve key management across all facilities and replace locks with ADA compliant hardware In FY 25-26, the City’s budget included CIP 95053-Citywide Rekeying Project to continue rekeying other facilities. As part of the security upgrade, several locations, including the City Yard, Langley, and El Encanto, are scheduled for re-keying to ensure controlled access across all City-owned facilities.

Harold’s Key Shop has proven to be reliable, cost effective, and provides the City with high level of service. The Director recommends a Third Amendment with Harold’s Key Shop, Inc., increasing the contract amount by $35,600, for a total contract amount of $153,600 through June 30, 2027, to ensure routine commercial locksmith services and the completion of the re-

key project.

Strategic Plan Goal:

The proposed amendment supports the City’s strategic goal of maintaining, building, and modernizing infrastructure and facilities to support the current and future needs of our City and community. Effective security measures at City facilities are essential for the protection of city assets, personnel, and visitors.

Fiscal Impact:

City Council Staff Report

Date: February 18, 2026
Agenda Item Number: 10.H.

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Shawn Igoe, Public Works Director
Subject: Award of Contract for Sierra Vista Playground Project

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Approving the design for the playground to be located at Sierra Vista Park; and

2. Approving the purchase order for Superior Recreation Products to procure playground equipment and shade structures (including design) in the amount of $254,146; and

3. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):

The proposed project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations § 15301 as a Class 1 categorical exemption (Existing Facilities).

Executive Summary:

The Recreation and Community Services and Public Works Directors have been working with ZOOM Recreation representatives to develop the theme play structure design for the Sierra Vista Park. Sierra Vista Park is the next park scheduled to receive a themed playground following the installation of Bella Vista, Garvey Ranch, Highland and Sequoia Parks.

City staff decided to design a theme that honors the San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians, Gabrielino Tongva tribe by having a theme that incorporates a Native American theme. The Recreation and Community Services Director has been working with the San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians, Gabrielino Tongva tribal members, and received a formal Letter of support from Chief Anthony Morales for the proposed design and features.

After working with the playground provider on the theme, staff presented the concept at the February Recreation and Parks Commission meeting to gain input and feedback from the Commissioners. The Commissioners provided support to the proposed concept provided by Zoom Recreation/Superior Recreational Products.

Zoom Recreation is Superior Recreational Products’ California playground dealer. City staff identified Buyboard as a company that has an agreement with Superior Recreational Products

for procurement of its playground equipment. The Buyboard agreement will allow staff to purchase playground equipment at the lowest price available, including all custom parts.

Background:

The Sierra Vista Park playground project includes the removal of the old playground equipment, site preparation, concrete work, installation of playground equipment and shade structures, and installation of specialized rubberized surfacing. The new playground equipment will be installed in the existing playground location and have additional equipment along the perimeter.

Monterey Park Municipal Code Section 3.20.050 (2) allows the City Council to approve the purchase of items when the supply can be obtained from only one vendor, or there are circumstances demonstrating that only one vendor is best qualified to provide the supplies.

Zoom Recreation/Superior Recreational Products demonstrated that its uniquely themed playground designs, including custom pieces, can only be purchased from that company. The Public Works Director also identified Buyboard as a company with an agreement for procurement of the Zoom Recreation/Superior Recreational Products playground equipment with pre-negotiated costs. A review of the BuyBoard agreement, compared to the State of California Multiple Award Schedule (CMAS) purchasing agreement, shows that the City may purchase the selected playground parts from Zoom Recreation/Superior Recreational Products at the lowest price available.

The Public Works Director recommends that the City Council approve the design theme and purchase of playground equipment and shade structures and related design. The theme incorporates various native American exhibits, themes and references. The Recreation and Community Services Department has been working with the San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians, Gabrielino Tongva tribal members, and received a formal Letter of support from Chief Anthony Morales for the proposed design and features. The Public Works Director will separately advertise a public works contract for the site preparation, which includes grading, concrete work and installation of the playground equipment.

Strategic Plan Goal:

The proposed contract supports the City’s goal to encourage the use of public parks and facilities by preserving existing park space and improving park amenities. The replacement of the playground equipment will provide the community with access to new, safe, and modern playground improvements.

Fiscal Impact:

Funds for this project have been budgeted in Capital Improvement Project (CIP) No. 95057 using Measure A funds.

Gabrieleno, San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians
Letter of Support

The Honorable City Council- City of Monterey Park
Subject: Letter of Support for the Proposed Tongva-Themed Park in Monterey Park Dear City Council Members,
We, the Tongva people, the First People and original caretakers of this land, write to express our strong and complete support for the proposed Tongva themed park in Monterey Park. We commend the city’s vision to integrate elements of our culture into the park’s overall design and play equipment.

Monterey Park is situated on our ancestral land, and the core concept for this park is a physical demonstration of the values our people have maintained for centuries:
the importance of open spaces, the presence of greenery, and the deep, essential connection to nature. The park’s commitment to these elements reflects the enduring values of our ancestors.

We are highly supportive of the collaborative partnership that has been established with your Recreation and Community Services Department to realize this project. This effort represents a significant step forward, moving beyond a simple land acknowledgement to an act of genuine, lasting partnership.

By weaving our culture, history, and language into the park's physical design and providing specific educational elements, the city is creating tangible, public visibility for the Tongva people. This action helps ensure that our community’s living history and continued presence as the First People of this region are recognized and celebrated.

This themed park will stand as a permanent and meaningful resource for the entire community. We respectfully urge the City Council to approve the design and proceed quickly with this significant project.

Thank you for demonstrating true commitment to partnership that honors the Tongva people.

Sincerely,
Chief and Chairman Anthony Morales
Gabrieleno Tongva Tribal Council leads the San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians
