Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council,
It is my privilege to present the preliminary budget for all operations of the City of Monterey Park for the fiscal year 2026-2027. The City’s 2026-2027 budget, which funds public safety, community and economic development, transportation, parks and open space, recreation, library, infrastructure investments, and city facility upgrades, is developed by staff in order to achieve City strategic goals and objectives and to follow City Council' s priorities and policy direction in the most responsive manner. This year, as always, our focus remains on delivering a wide range of services to our diverse community as we continue to maintain fiscal sustainability.
Economic Environment
The current economic outlook is characterized by uncertainty. Ambiguity in national public policy leads to delays and curtailment in capital investment. Tariff impositions fluctuate daily, often lacking specificity, with changing start dates and unclear product details. Other sources of volatility include global events, inflation concerns, and potential redu ctions in the Fed Funds rate. Prioritized day-to-day expenditures erode household disc retionary spending due to weakened consumer confidence. Retailers acknowledge that shoppers are experiencing price fatigue. While people continue to spend, tax allocations are continually shifting. Our statewide forecast has weakened in the short term, with limited growth expected in FY 2026-27.
California’s unemployment rate has remained stable, reaching 5.5% in December 2025 and staying within a narrow 5.4% to 5.6% range over the past year. The consistency of the rate indicates that the labor market has settled into a new equilibrium. Labor market flows have slowed, with hiring no longer keeping pace with worker separations, limiting net job growth. Increases in unemployment have been concentrated among labor force re-entrants and longer-duration job seekers, while job losses have remained stable. Together, these patterns point to slower job switching and longer job searches, rather than an increase in layoffs, keeping unemployment elevated even as the labor market avoids broader deterioration.

California’s housing market has cooled, with weaker demand and limited housing supply. As of the third quarter of 2025, median home prices were $735,401, up
1.13% year over year, while home sales declined 4.2%, reflecting affordability constraints and elevated borrowing costs. As of November 2025, inventory remains tight, with 92,930 homes for sale, down 1.9% from a year earlier, and months of supply holding at three, well below levels associated with a balanced market. Median days on market increased to 49, indicating slower transactions.
Together, these conditions reflect a mark et adjusting through reduced activity rather than broad-based price declines.
In the City of Monterey Park, economic development is an integral component of the City’s revenue generating activities. With 500,000 square feet of retail space, the Market Place, located along the Pomona Freeway, is the largest commercial shopping center ever developed in the community. Since its opening in May of 2018, the Market Place development has been a consistent revenue generator. The City is projecting a moderate increase in sales tax revenue from the Market Place for the upcoming year.
The City has also welcomed new hotels along North Atlantic Boulevard to meet the growing demand for visitor accommodations in the greater San Gabriel Valley area. A 288-room Courtyard by Marriott hotel opened in March 2021 on North Atlantic Boulevard. A new 134-room with 84 condominium units (residential mixed-use) Holiday Inn and Suites opened in May of 2024.
From January to April 2026, the City issued 113 new business licenses, signaling robust economic growth, and welcomed new businesses including 10,000 Coffee, ReeWork Me Fitness Center, and a new Starbucks Drive-Through.
These are additional commercial and residential projects currently in review, recently entitled, or under construction:
x A 74-unit multi-family residential project on 336-410 S. Alhambra Avenue x A 63-unit two-story townhome project on 126 N. New Avenue x An 8-unit residential condominium project on 2011 Potrero Grande Drive x A retail market project on 283 E. Garvey Avenue
x A Tesla auto body facility at 777 Monterey Pass Road
x A 169-unit mixed-use project on 114 E. Garvey Avenue
x A 369-unit mixed-use project on 740 W. Garvey Avenue
x A 173-unit mixed-use project on 808 W. Garvey Avenue
x A 48-unit residential project on 816-824 Hellman Avenue x A 40-unit mixed-use project on 840 E. Garvey Avenue
x A 2-building commercial office industrial project of approximately 30,000 sq. ft. on 723-736 Monterey Pass Road

x A 9-unit residential project at 338-346 Sefton Avenue x A 120-unit mixed-use project at 122 W. Garvey Avenue

Garvey Avenue Property values for 2025–26 continued to increase in Monterey Park, although at a slower pace than the previous year. Average residential home values increased approximately 1.3% year over year to about $931,600. The detached single-family housing market remained competitive, wi t h m e d i a n s a l e p r i c e s r a n g i n g f r o m approximately $902,500 to $915,000 du ring early 2026. Housing inventory remained limited, supporting continued market stability and long-term property value growth.
The 2026-2027 Proposed Budget
The City’s proposed FY 2026-2027 Operating, Debt and Capital Budget total is $188.2 million, of which $77.8 million is in the General Fund. This budget provides a road map for the City’s successful delivery of vital core services and infrastructure improvements, which can be seen in detail via the Fund, Department and Capital pages that follow. A careful and methodical approach was taken in preparing the budget in order to exercise fiscal prudence and balance funding requests with the preservation of the General Fund reserves. Departmental budget requests were each carefully evaluated in order to limit demand on the City’s finances. This operating budget includes escalations where the cost-of-service delivery has increased.
The Adopted Budget reflects the Successor Agency (SA) budget of $2.2 million for enforceable obligations and administrative costs for winding down procedures of the former Monterey Park Redevelopment Agency.
Monterey Park uses a five-year forecast to enable us to anticipate and adapt to economic challenges and to make decisions today with the next five years in mind. The five-year forecast aids the City’s administration in seeing our financial challenges before they are realized – giving the City the opportunity to proactively implement solutions. The City’s aim is not just financial stability but long-term financial sustainability.
General Fund Revenue
The General Fund is the main operating fund of the City and pays for the majority of police, fire, building, planning, public works, park maintenance, recreation, and library services. It is the City’s practice to conservatively estimate all revenues included in the budget to avoid overcommitting to future service expansions.

Property tax and sales tax continue to be the largest revenue sources, representing 61% of the General Fund's total revenue. Each key revenue assumption for 2026-2027 is summarized as following:
Property Tax The property tax is an annual levy and is based on the value of land and structures. Property taxes constitute 35% percent of all City own-source revenue. Total gross assessed value for 2026 is $10.2 billion, up 5% or $483 million from last year. Prices for single-family homes have continued to rise in response to lower inventory and interest rates. The median sale price of a detached single- family residential home in Monterey Park at January 2026 was $915,000.
Sales Tax Sales tax represents the second-large st source of local tax revenue.
Sales tax is imposed on the retail sale of goods. In November 2022, voters adopted Measure MP which authorizes a ¾ cent transactions and use (sales) tax.
The measure was adopted based upon a 58.14% voter approval. This tax began to be collected by businesses on April 1, 2023, and is projected to generate $9.2 million in FY 2026-2027.
Utility User Tax The City’s utility user tax rates are 3% for residential and 5.5% for commercial users. The tax is applied to the consumption of electric, gas, and telephone services. The overall UUT revenue is projected to increase by 2% based on trends and historical data.
Transient Occupancy Tax Transient occupancy tax, TOT (hotel/lodging tax) is imposed on the rent of hotels, motels, and short-term rentals in the City. In November 2024, voters adopted Measure LG which authorizes the increase of TOT from 12% to 13%. The measure was adopted based upon a 76.19% voter approval and became effective on January 1, 2025.

A
Other Taxes This category consists of property transfer tax and franchise tax. The property transfer tax is the real estate transfer tax at a rate of $1.10 per $1,000 of value transferred. The City and County share the tax equally. Franchise tax is imposed by the City on gas, electric, and cable television for the privilege of using City streets. Revenues in Other Taxes are projected to increase by 3% based on trends and historical data.
Licenses and Permits In November 2024, voters adopted Measure BE which updated the structure of the City’s business license tax to be based on a business’s gross receipts. The measure was adopted based upon a 70.47% voter approval and became effective on January 1, 2025.
Charge for Services This category includes charges for fee-supported City services. As we continue to move past the pandemic, City services continue to return to pre-pandemic levels, thus, revenues in this category are expected to increase to pre-pandemic amounts.
Other Revenues This category includes investment earnings, rents, fines, and miscellaneous revenue accounts. The City’s overall investment return is expected to continue to increase in FY 2026-2027.

Proposed Budget for Other Funds
Other City funds are classified as restri cted funds. The restricted funds include Special Revenue Funds, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, and Successor Agency Funds. These funds are kept se parately for specific expenditures authorized by laws or City policies. The FY 2026-2027 Operating, Debt and Capital Budget expenditures for the restricted funds are $103.2 million and total projected revenues and transfers are $110.5 million. Below is a discussion of the major restricted funds.
Special Revenue Funds These funds are used to account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are restricted or committed to expenditure for specified purposes.
Retirement Fund Funding of the City’s pension programs comes from a special property tax approved by the voters in 1946 and 1952. The City’s retirement tax rate has remained at $0.091175 per $100 of the assessed valuation since 1983. For 2026-2027, the projected retirement revenue is $11.1 million, and total appropriations are $13.1 million. The difference comes from general fund supplement of $2 million and the remaining Retirement Fund reserve. The supplements are projected to grow much higher in the next five years due to changes in CalPERS discount rates.
Propositions A and C, and Me asures R M and W Fund These funds continue to be used for the City’s Spirit Bus, Dial -a-Ride, taxi coupons, bus pass programs, traffic signal upgrades, and various street and roadway improvements. For 2026-

A
2027, total estimated revenue is $6 million and total budgeted expenditures are $14.2 million. The difference in expenses will come from anticipated grants.
Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Act (SB1) Fund The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 provides substantial new and more stable funding for state and local streets and roads over a period of ten years. For 2026-2027, the City expects to receive over $1.7 million from the SB1 funds and will be used for various street resurfacing rehabilitations per the City’s Pavement Management Study.
Maintenance District Fund The City formed a Maintenance District in 1993 to finance the maintenance and operation of streetlights, street trees, and medians in accordance with the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. Rates have not been adjusted since 1996. The projected re venue is $1.1 million. This revenue combined with a General Fund supplem ental payment of $842,497 to fund the total district maintenance expenditure of $2 million.
Development Impact Fee Fund Pursuant to Chapter 3.110 of the MPMC and City Ordinance No. 2134, the City established development impact fees for safety, circulation, water, sewer, library, and parks. Estimated amount for FY 2026-27 is $1.3 million. These funds will be used for improvements per Government Code Section 66006.
Grants Fund The City applies for and is awarded various grants for specific purposes. In FY 2026-27, the City is anticipated to receive $5.9 million in grant funding. The recently awarded Land Wa ter Conservation Fund (LWCF) grant of $6 million is a cost reimbursement grant and is pending Federal award. The LWCF grant will be included in a future budget once Federal award is received and the project begins.
Enterprise Funds These funds account for activi ties financed and operated like those of business enterprise and are restricted for that specific purpose. The City completed a Proposition 218 rate increase for water and sewer, and new rates were implemented in February 2024 for sewer and March 2024 for water. The City’s proposition 218 process for refuse was completed in 2025.
Refuse Fund The refuse service includes trash collection, waste management, and recycling. The City awarded a contract to a new hauling company that began services in September 2024. A Proposition 218 process was completed in the fall of 2025 to assess new rates. The projected budget for FY 2026-27 is currently estimated to be $1.3 million.

Sewer Fund The sewer rate is charged based on the meter size. The Sewer Master Plan provided the City with a comprehens ive assessment to address 35% of the City’s sewer system. The projected budget for FY 2026-27 is $7.7 million for revenue and $9.6 million for expenses and capital improvements. Expenses include the use of reserves for capital projects.
Water Fund The City’s water system serves approximately 95% of Monterey Park residents. The system has 12 wells, 13 reservoirs, 5 treatment plants, 11 pumping stations, and 134 miles of water mains. The projected water revenues for water operation and treatment funds for FY 2026-27 total $25.1 million and proposed operating and capital improvement expenses are $26.4 million. Capital project expenses funded with Water Revenue Bond Series 2024 are $300 thousand. Water revenues cover the costs for the production, distribution, commercial, and treatment operating expenses.
Internal Service Funds
The purpose of Internal Service (IS) funds is to centralize services used by multiple departments such as general liability cl aims, workers’ compensation insurance, motor pool operations and replacement, technology development, employee separation benefits, and post-employmen t medical liability. These funds are a cost allocation tool and financed through charges to departments. The FY 2026- 27 internal service fund charges are: $4 .1 million for building maintenance, $5.9 million for workers’ compensation, $4.7 million for motor shop pool, $2.7 million for separation benefits, $3.6 million for techno logy, $9.3 million for general liability, and $2.7 million for post-employment medical liability.
Debt Service and Outstanding Loans
Ongoing updates to and replacement of City’s infrastructure and capital assets are important to ensure quality service delivery. Capital improvements are costly and often times it is not feasible for the City to use a pay-as-you go method or to bank funds until a sufficient amount can be accumulated. To fund improvement needs in a timely manner, the City has secured loans to finance various major improvements. The table below is a summary of the debt service payments for FY 2026-27 and loan maturity years.

As with most public agencies, personnel costs are the City's single largest operating expenditure. Total staffing for FY 2026-27 is 393.25 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions, 4 more FTEs than FY 2025-26. The City continues evaluating its organizational structure for the most efficient core staffing combination. It has always been the City’s goal to achieve the optimal service delivery within a given personnel budget.
The table below summarizes position changes in 2026-2027 to meet the proposed service levels.

2026-2027
Pension Funding
On February 16, 2021, the City issued Pension Obligation Bonds in the amount of $106,335,000, paying off in its entirety the City’s Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL).
This payment brought the City’s UAL to a zero balance in February of 2021. The CalPERS discount rate has sense been reduced to 6.8%, and the updated UAL balance is $38,873,490 as of June 2024. The City has implemented an Unfunded Pension Liability Policy to mitigate additional UAL costs and will follow policy to reduce its liability.

Pension costs including bond payment are projected to be $16.2 million for FY 2026-27, which will be funded by the Re tirement Fund and various other funds.
The General Fund supplements the pension cost for FY 2026-27 at $2 million. The City’s personnel costs represent 60% of the City's operating budget. Like many state and local governments, the City has experienced fiscal pressures in meeting its retirement plan obligations and will continue to seek remedies.
The table below shows the required and projected employer contributions for the next five fiscal years. The projection assumes that all actuarial assumptions will be realized and that no further changes to assumptions, contributions, benefits, or funding will occur during the projection period. The projected normal cost percentages in the projections below reflect that the normal cost will continue to decline over time as new employees are hired into PEPRA or other lower cost benefit tiers.

Post-employment medical benefits are important because they are a form of promised deferred compensation and represent a significant and often growing element of employee-related costs. The net OPEB liability is reported on the annual financial report, which is approx imately $16.1 million based on a 30-year amortization. The City began to address unfunded liabilities associated with retiree health care in 2012 and established a formal trust account with CalPERS CERBT Program to systematically accumulate resources in trust to fund the retiree health care liabilities. Through this funding advancement method, the City ensures its promises are sustainable over time and systematically reduces the unfunded accrued liabilities, thus achiev ing the City's goal in addressing the retiree medical liabilities. For FY 2026-27, the City continues a $1.0 million OPEB trust contribution to proactively manage the retiree medical unfunded liability.
Infrastructure and Capital Improvements
Continued investment in the City’s infrastructure and capital improvements is the key to long-term economic success and better quality of life for our community.
For FY 2026-27, the City is proposing a total of $16 million from various funds for our infrastructure and capital investments. All project information is in the Capital Improvement Program chapter of the document.

City History
The City of Monterey Park is located at the
western gateway to the San Gabriel Valley, in
Los Angeles County, California, just a few miles
e a s t o f d o w n t o w n L o s A n g e l e s . I t i s a v i b r a n t and culturally diverse community of medium
size population. Its municipal boundaries
encompass 7.73 square miles.
The area in which the City is now located was
originally inhabited by the Tongva Indians, later
renamed Gabrielino Indians by the Spaniards.
Following Spanish settlement of the region
during the early 1800s, the area was part of the
Mission San Gabriel de Arcangel.
Some years later, Richard Garvey, a mail rider for the U.S. Army, settled in Kings Hills and began developing the nearby land. To pay for the development (and personal debts), Garvey sold off portions of his property.
In 1906, the first subdivision in the area, Ramona Acres, was formed.
In 1916, residents of the
area-initiated action to
incorporate as a California
city when the neighboring
communities of Pasadena,
South Pasadena, and
Alhambra proposed the
construction of a large
waste treatment facility in
the area
.
Monterey Park voted itself into cityhood on May 29, 1916, by a 455 to 33 margin. The City’s first Board of Directors immediately outlawed sewage plants within City boundaries. Then they gave their new city a name taken from old government maps that described the oak-covered inclines that made up the area as Monterey Hills. This year, 2026, marks the 110 th birthday
of the City of Monterey Park!
Today, the City of Monterey Park is a General Law city operating under the Council-Manager form of municipal government. The City of Monterey Park is a full-service municipal government, offering its residents police, fire and

City of Monterey Park
FUND ACTIVITY
C1
The City of Monterey Park’s fiscal activities are budgeted and accounted for through the use of funds. A fund is a separate fiscal entity, which is self-balancing and free standing. The use of funds enables the maintaining of separate records for particular purposes. Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommends that every state or local government that uses fund accounting establish clear criteria for determining whether a given fund in its accounting system should be treated as a fund for pu rposes of external financial reporting.
The application of these criteria to individual funds should be documented and then periodically reviewed to take into account changes in circumstances (for example, a significant decrease in a re venue source reported as a separate special revenue fund). A government’s periodic review of its fund structure ought to specifically consider whether the goal s of general purpose external financial reporting could better be achieved by combining similar funds in the accounting system into a single fund for financial reporting purposes. For example, for budget reporting, all small Special Revenue funds are consolidated in this financial plan.
The fund categories are: Governmental Funds, Proprietary Funds, and Fiduciary Funds. The five fund types are: General, Special Revenue, Enterprise, Internal Services, and Agency.
Governmental Funds – Funds generally used to account for tax-supported activities.
x The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City. The General Fund is used to account for resources traditionally associated with government which are not required by law or by sound financial management practice to be accounted for in another fund. x Special Revenue Funds (SRFs) account for the proceeds of revenue sources that are restricted by law or administ rative action to expend for specific purposes. Primary sources of SRF revenue are federal, state, local and private grants; contractual agreements. Special revenue funds are used to account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are restricted or committed to expenditur e for specified purposes other than debt service or capital projects.

FUND ACTIVITY
C2
Proprietary Funds – Funds used to account for a government's ongoing organizations and activities that are similar to businesses found in the private sector. These funds are considered self-su pporting in that the services rendered by them are generally financed through user charges or on a cost reimbursement basis.
x Enterprise Funds are established to account for activities of a government that provide goods or services prim arily to the public at large on a consumer charge basis. Most business-type activities of a government are accounted for and reported in this fund.
x Internal Service Funds are established to finance, administer, and account for departments or agencies of a government whose exclusive or nearly exclusive purpose is to provide goods or services (e.g. Technology services) to the government's other departments on a cost reimbursement basis.
Fiduciary Funds – Funds account for assets held by the government in a trustee or agent capacity such as taxes collected and held on behalf of local governments, pension plans, and trusts that receive external donations for the benefit of parties external to the government.
x Agency Funds are holding accounts for assets belonging to an entity other than the government. For example, Successor Agency funds for the payment of bonds are agency funds.

City of Monterey Park
FUND ACTIVITY
C3
The City’s financial system is organized around a structure that is commonly found in most public agencies.
Fund: Each fund represents a self-balancing group of accounts and a balance sheet that allows for the segregation of resources from all others maintained by the City. For example, the General Fund accounting structure accumulates, and tracks monies collected for the purpose of providing the services that fulfill the general government role of the City. These costs include those for central administration including the City Manager’s Office, Human Resources and the Management Services Department. Other general government costs included are Police, Fire Protection, Recreation and Library.
Organization: The organization or org code identifier (also referred to as division) is used within the City’s accounting system to identify a specific program assigned to a department division. Thus, a single department can have one or more organization codes assigned to it in order to capture revenues and expenses for each separate function.

Object: The basic unit of the City’s accounting structure is the object code. The purpose of the object code is to provide a means for separating each type of revenue and expense from another. For example, full-time salaries are charged to Object Code 5103.
Project: A project tracks Capital and/or a specific revenue or expense. For example, within each project, there could be specific revenue funding the project such as grant revenue.

Programs Details
Responsibilities within this activity include general administration of the City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and Home/Housing programs and Affordable Housing Monitoring. HUD grant funds received annually from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), are the primary source of funding for the Division’s activities.

Acquisition, rehabilitation, rental assistance, and new construction are all eligible uses for the program monies. The City is allowed two years to commit and five years to exhaust its annual HOME entitlement.
Through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, the City was allocated a one- time HOME-ARPA grant.

The City currently uses the majority of these funds for salaries and benefits for the Neighborhood Engagement Team who pr ovides outreach services to the homeless population.
Under AB 1x26 redevelopment agencies are dissolved and replaced with Successor Agencies responsible for windin g down the affairs of the former redevelopment agency including disposing of their assets. The City continues receiving repayment of SERAF and Housing Deferral funds from the State Department of Finance once the State approves the repayment schedule.

Our staff has done an excellent job of ad apting and has worked diligently to engage the community through social media and community engagement sessions. We are building the Police Department's neighborhood watch, business watch, social media, and virtual engagement programs to proactively engage with the community through dialogue, co llaboration, community input, panel discussions, and working with community leaders to better understand the community's needs and concerns.
In 2025 the Department implemented the Monterey Park Police Department Citizen RIMS portal, a public-facing platform that enhances transparency and community access to information. This system allows residents to view crime statistics, track trends, and better understand public safety activity within the city.
By providing accessible, real-time data, the portal supports informed community engagement, strengthens public trust, and reinforces the Department’s commitment to accountability and transparency.
The Department has built on our multidisciplinary approach to providing services to individuals experiencing homelessness and/or having a mental health crisis. The multidisciplinary model brings together different disciplines and areas of expertise to provide wraparound services to various community members through creative strategies and collaboration with various community stakeholders.
The Department continued to experience a high rate of retirements in 2025. As a result, the department focused on recrui tment, hiring, and succession planning.
These efforts have enabled the police department to achieve full staffing levels for sworn personnel, but additional retirements are anticipated and staffing levels continue to fluctuate. Resources have been allocated to hire new employees with an emphasis in recruiting lateral police officers, and train all staff, ensuring that our members serve the community with a public servant's mindset. This includes an emphasis on de-escalation techniques and community-oriented policing principles. Additionally, the Department has implemented a Peer Support Program aimed at reducing day-to-day stress and providing ongoing support for our members throughout their careers.
The Police Department is a source of pride for many employees and volunteers who live in Monterey Park. Police Reserves, Monterey Park Emergency Communications, Citizen's Patrol, Police Explorers, Chaplains, and interns volunteered over 2,000 hours in 2025.

x The Animal Services Bureau implemented a public outreach campaign utilizing the city newspaper, social media platform, and a newly developed informational pamphlet to promote responsible pet ownership, with particular emphasis on the proper disposal of animal waste. The initiative sought to reduce conflicts between dog owners and the broader community while fostering a shared understanding of the responsibilities necessary to maintain a clean, safe, and healthy environment for all residents.
x The Animal Services Bureau established a formal application process for the Animal Services Foster Roster, designed for residents interested in fostering lost or stray animals. The program has demonstrated significant effectiveness, resulting in the temporary or permanent placement of numerous dogs and cats. These placements have contributed to a measurable reduction in expenditure associated with contracted kenneling services provided by the County. This fostering initiative not only reduces municipal costs but also ensures that lost animals receive care in safer and healthier environments while awaiting reunification with their rightful owners.
x The reclassification of one Animal Services Officer position to Animal Services Supervisor was implemented in July 2025. This organizational adjustment enhanced operational efficiency by more effectively distributing management duties and responsibilities across the bureau. x The Animal Services Bureau implemented a GIS-based mapping system that automatically uploads information on lost and impounded domestic pets to the city’s Animal Services website in real time. This system has measurably enhanced the reunification of animals with their rightful owners and reduced operational costs by decreasing reliance on contracted County kenneling services.
x The Animal Services Bureau hosted a California Department of Fish and Wildlife training on September 17, covering coyotes, exotic species, applicable laws and procedures, and relevant case files. The course was offered to animal control organizations and police agencies and was attended by 56 participants representing 14 agencies across Southern California.
x The Animal Services Bureau launched an official Instagram account to expand its public communication efforts, provide real-time updates on animal services topics, highlight community programs, and strengthen engagement with residents through easily accessible digital outreach.

x Complete data entry of reports into the Records Management System within seven days of receipt.
x Expand GovQuest usage beyond report requests and clearance letters by evaluating additional functions that can transition to electronic workflow.
Potential expansions include VISA/INS certified report and an evidence/media upload process. This would allow detectives or officers the ability to provide victims or involved parties with a GovQuest link to upload video footage, photos, or surveillance electronically. This reduces the detectives need to do an in-person follow up and improve their efficiency.
x Explore implementing Data Ticket as an online solution for residential parking permits. This would allow residents to apply for and manage permits electronically, eliminating the need for physical permits. Parking Enforcement could then verify permit status by running the license plate through Data Ticket to confirm the vehicle is registered and the permit is valid.

Program Details
The Community Engagement Bureau is overseen by a Lieutenant and is divided into two divisions: The Neighborhood Engagement Team and Community Engagement Team.
The Neighborhood Engagement Team (NET) is a multidisciplinary team including one Sergeant, one Detective, three Officers, one Mental Health Clinician from the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health, and one Outreach and Housing Navigation Coordinator. The team is tasked with the primary function of identifying and formulating long-term solutions to resolve community issues rather than a reactive response to calls for service. As a Community-Based Policing program, NET uses creative strategies to solve problems through collaboration with various community stakeholders (i.e. residents, business owners, apartment owners/managers, private and public organizations, and all departments within the municipality) to provide a permanent solution to an identified problem.
Part of the strategy is to build on our multidisciplinary approach to provide services to individuals experiencing homelessness and/or having a mental health crisis. The team uses an outreach and service connection approach to engage people experiencing unsheltered homelessness and not place handcuffs on them. The team has worked to establish linkages with the local faith-based community, service groups, and regional providers to secure resources for people experiencing homelessness, connect people with em ergency food and motel resources, transportation to reconnect with families, and interim and permanent housing resources. Team members are projected to make over 1,000 contacts this year and

The Detective assigned to this unit handles crimes with a victim or suspect who is homeless, crimes with a mental health nexus, psychiatric holds and follow-up, prostitution, gambling, vandalism, Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) issues, and narcotics.
The Community Engagement Team also has a Sergeant and part-time Community Service Officer, who offer services to t he community, such as Neighborhood and Business Watch programs, residential and business inspections, and various virtual engagement sessions designed to meet the specific needs of the community. This Sergeant is responsible for the recruitment/hiring of all Police Department personnel, as well as the Training Manager, to ensure that all Police Department personnel are in compliance with all training mandates.
The Monterey Park Citizen’s Patrol, Chaplain, Reserve Officers, Police Explorers, and social media programs are also part of this team’s responsibility. These programs enable the community to become an integral part of the Police Department. 2026-2027 Goals and Objectives
x The NET Team will provide patrol personnel with updated information regarding homeless issues within the community by attending briefing on a quarterly basis.
x Increase the use of UAS Pilots by one (1)

Department Overview
The Fire Department is entrusted with the responsibility of providing the Monterey Park community, its citizens, and visitors, with the highest level of prehospital care and emergency response in support of our organizational mission. This mission is the preservation of life, property, and environment. Typical of most Southern California cities, Monterey Park is subjected to naturally occurring events, such as earthquakes, brush fires, flooding, wind events, and mud slides. The Fire Department is charged with the task of managing numerous human-caused hazards as well, including building and outdoor fires, environmental hazardous conditions, multi-casualty incidents, and other all-risk occurrences. Three of the most heavily traveled state highways border our city. This proximity results in numerous accident responses which require specialized training, mitigation equipment, and the treatment and transportation of injured patients to appropriate receiving hospitals. These and other complex incidents remain a major concern to the Fire Department and the community.
