Checks, other than special checks, generally are not released until after the Council approves the Register. The exceptions are for early releases to avoid penalties and interest, excessive delays and in all other circumstances favorable to the City to do so. Special checks are those payments required to be issued between Council meetings such as insurance premiums and tax deposits. Staff reviews requests for expenditures for budgetary approval and then prepares a Warrant Register for Council approval and or ratification. Items such as payroll withholding tax deposits do not require budget approval.
The Director of Administrative Services/City Treasurer hereby certifies that all requests for expenditures have been signed by the department head, or designee, receiving the merchandise or services thereby stating that the items or services have been received and that the resulting expenditure is appropriate. The Director of Administrative Services/City Treasurer hereby certifies that each warrant has been reviewed for completeness and that sufficient funds are available for payment of the warrant register.

Subject: Consideration to Approve Calendar Year 2026 Business Permits for Certain Business Activities as Required by the City Code
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve 13 Business Permits for Calendar Year 2026 for businesses engaged in certain business activities (Attachment “A”), as required by Article III of Chapter 22 of the City Code.
BACKGROUND:
1. On December 5, 2022, staff presented Business Permit Renewal Applications for calendar year 2023. During this discussion, the City Council provided direction to staff for a revised Business License Permit renewal process to include a more comprehensive review of community complaints and code violations.
2. On February 20, 2024, the City Council approved an interim urgency ordinance requiring establishments selling alcohol to obtain business permits and regulating establishments selling alcohol.
3. On September 16, 2025, Business Permit Renewal Applications for calendar year 2026 were mailed to those businesses that require City Council approval per Article III of Chapter 22 of the City Code prior to issuance of a Business License (see Attachment “B” for complete list of Business Activities that require a Permit).
4. By the October 17, 2025 renewal deadline, the Finance Division received 13 Business Permit Renewal applications.
5. By November 24, 2025, the Finance, Community Development, Police, and Public Works departments completed review of the applications.

Consideration to Approve Calendar Year 2026 Business Permits for Certain Business Activities as Required by the City Code
ANALYSIS:
Article III of Chapter 22 of the San Fernando Municipal Code (SFMC) requires certain types of businesses to obtain a Business Permit to operate in the City. The purpose of the Business Permit approval process is to conduct a higher level of review for specific business categories that engage in certain interactions with the public. For example, businesses selling used goods undergo additional screening through the Department of Justice (DOJ) to verify that those business operations are free of any criminal activity that could compromise business integrity.
Business Permits require the approval of the City Council. To obtain a Business Permit, affected businesses must submit a written application specifying the proposed business location. Once approved, the permit is valid for the calendar year, or a shorter period of time as may be prescribed by any resolution of the City Council or in the Permit.
For the 2026 calendar year, the Finance Division issued notifications to businesses within required categories and received a total of 13 Business Permit Renewal applications by the October 17, 2025 deadline. These applications were reviewed by the Police, Community Development, and Public Works departments to ensure compliance with all applicable regulations, including:
• Zoning establishment compliance (Planning Department review); • Code complaints and outstanding violations (Code Enforcement review); and • Safety complaints and Department of Justice notifications (Police Department review).
Based on recommendations from the 2022 process, staff revised the application routing form to include the following additional information:
• Business location, type and description;
• Planning review for zoning compliance;
• Code Enforcement review for complaints and violations; and • Police Department review for complaints and DOJ violations.
Staff recommends City Council approval of 13 applications for 2026 Business Permit (Attachment “A”). These businesses have met all compliance requirements.
By approving Business Permits for the businesses listed in Attachment “A”, the City Council authorizes those businesses to continue their operations for calendar year 2026 at the specified commercial addresses.

Consideration to Approve Calendar Year 2026 Business Permits for Certain Business Activities as Required by the City Code
BUDGET IMPACT:
The Business Permit fees application includes a fee set by SFMC Article III, Section 22-215. Fees are established at levels to recover costs of providing services, including staff costs, in accordance with Chapter 9 (“User Fees and Service Charges”) of the City Council General Financial Policy.
CONCLUSION:
Staff is recommending approval of 13 applications for a calendar year 2026 Business Permit. By approving Business Permits for the businesses noted in Attachment “A”, the City Council authorizes those businesses to continue their operations for calendar year 2026 at the specified commercial addresses.

ANALYSIS:
A Strategic Plan is a guiding framework that defines a city’s long-term vision, priorities, and goals, along with the strategies and actions to achieve the vision. Serving as a roadmap for the future, it aligns the efforts of the City Council, staff, and community toward shared objectives while ensuring that decisions and resources are focused on the most meaningful outcomes. Covering multiple years, the plan is dynamic and regularly updated to reflect changing priorities and circumstances. A strategic plan promotes accountability, transparency, and efficiency in government operations, helping a city anticipate challenges, support sustainable growth, and enhance the quality of life for all residents.
In 2021, the City adopted its Five-Year Strategic Goals to guide its activities and objectives for Fiscal Years 2022 through 2026. With many of those goals accomplished and the plan nearing completion, staff recommends engaging consultant services to develop a new strategic plan covering Fiscal Years 2027 through 2031. Strategic planning defines where the City is headed and how it will get there. To establish a long-term vision supported by a five-year strategic plan, staff released a RFP seeking consultant recommendations, work plans, and deliverables that will:
• Define what the City aspires to be in the future and position it for long-term success. • Organize and prioritize City initiatives and resources to achieve identified goals.
December 1, 2025 CC Regular Mtg Page 126 of 287
Consideration to Award a Professional Services Agreement to Baker Tilly for Strategic Plan Consulting Services and Adopt a Resolution Appropriating Funds
• Align the City Council, staff, residents, businesses, and community partners around a shared vision and strategic direction.
• Translate visionary concepts into realistic, measurable, and achievable outcomes. • Inspire ideas around economic growth, sustainability, fiscal stability, sense of place, and community identity.
• Chart an innovative and actionable path for San Fernando’s future that sets clear priorities and maximizes opportunities for growth and resilience.
A list of the 22 proposals received, including cost, is included as Attachment “C”. The selection of the consultant was based on criteria set forth in the RFP using the following criteria as a guideline:
completeness and comprehensiveness, responsiveness to City’s issues, potential to benefit the City, experience of the firm providing similar services to other municipalities, cost effectiveness and quality of proposed staff.
Following the initial evaluation of proposals by staff to ensure submittals were responsive to all elements outlined in the RFP, five (5) proposals were selected for final consideration, including:
Firm Name Projected Cost ($)
Baker Tilly $63,000
Berry Dunn $90,300
Eide Bally $58,550
Jacob Green & Associates $99,600
Raftelis $57,675
After assessing all submitted proposals, staff determined that Baker Tilly, based on their submitted proposal (Exhibit “B” to Attachment “A”), met all required criteria outlined in the RFP.
Baker Tilly demonstrated a significant understanding of the intended scope of services and experience facilitating, developing and implementing strategic plans specifically within California small municipal governments. The proposal also provided a feasible cost effectiveness score with project cost estimate of $63,000. As this service is in preparation for a five (5) year strategic plan, including support in the development of the implementation plan for staff, this investment will retain value over the duration of five (5) years. There will not be any ongoing costs associated with this service.
Vendor Highlights & Process.
Baker Tilly currently provides consultant and auditor services for more than 500 cities across the nation and nearly 40 local government entities in the California. Their proposal outlined experience working with several municipalities in implementing updated or new Strategic Plans, including sample plans from:

• City of Patterson: Strategic Plan 2024-2028

The anticipated timeline for strategic plan development is for preliminary feedback to be provided by end of February 2026, to help guide the City’s budget process. The final strategic plan should be completed and ready for City Council consideration by April 20, 2026.

Months 5 (April) and 6 (May) listed as the Reporting phase, which includes working directly with City staff to develop and train personnel on implementing the plan and building out tracking mechanisms.
BUDGET IMPACT:
If the City Council approves Resolution No. 8423, budget appropriations totaling $63,000 will be completed to fund Strategic Planning Consultant Services through account 001-105-0000-4260.
CONCLUSION:

and measure performance. With Baker Tilly, the strategic planning process is just as important as the resulting plan. We work collaboratively with our clients to deliver high-quality, insightful work products that facilitate a productive and rewarding planning process.
Our approach to facilitation and planning is based in three key concepts:
1 Robust Planning Process
Our team has substantial experience facilitating holistic and interactive planning sessions that take a deep dive into the key elements of a comprehensive strategic plan. In these sessions we address an organization’s a mission, vision, and core values and evaluate its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis. We also discuss community needs, strategic objectives, priority initiatives, and key performance measures.
2 Effective Stakeholder Engagement
Our approach is deeply grounded enabling the City’s employees, partners, and community members to participate in the planning process. We often utilize tools like focus groups, confidential online surveys, town halls, and public meetings to engage stakeholders. We’ve found broad participation that enhances insights and perspectives represented in the plan and increases collective buy-in to the plan—both critical to implementation success
3 Implementation Management
In our experience, we’ve learned that a strategic plan may provide a road map for achieving a defined vision, but it’s not always implemented as an effective management tool. That’s why, in addition to delivering a comprehensive plan document, we also work with our clients to develop an implementation template and other management tools that can be used to track progress toward each strategic initiative.
This way, our clients are prepared to facilitate effective communication, ongoing management, and progress reporting on the plan.

The experiences of our clients speak more about Baker Tilly’s capabilities than any proposal ever could.
That’s why we encourage you to talk with our clients. Here are a few individuals who welcome the opportunity to share their Baker Tilly experience. Some of these engagements were performed under the Moss Adams name prior to June 2025 when Baker Tilly and Moss Adams merged into one firm.

Project understanding and work plan
Project understanding
We understand that the City is seeking a highly qualified consulting team to assist in facilitating and preparing the 2027-2031 five-year strategic plan. The key items the City is seeking by bring on a consulting firm are defining the City’s aspirational future-state, the organization and prioritization of City initiatives and resources to achieve those aspirations, the wholistic alignment of public and private City stakeholders around a shared vision and strategic direction, materializing visionary concepts into achievable and measurable goals, bringing outside perspective to the table revolving around ideas of economic and community-oriented goals, and finalize an innovative plan of actions so the City can measure and maximize its path forward towards growth and resilience.
We’ll achieve a successful strategic planning process by properly initiating and defining the project, understanding your strategic priorities, efficiently performing the work, and preparing clearly articulated deliverables. Each stage of our integrated approach to the strategic planning process is described below.
Proposed approach
Phase 1 COORDINATION
Project coordination will encompass finalizing the work plan, establishing progress reporting requirements, confirming responsibilities and timing, ongoing project management, and quality assurance.
Finalize work plan
Upon contract award, we will conduct a kickoff meeting with the City’s strategic planning team to finalize the work plan and establish clear expectations for the project. The work plan will define the scope, timing, resources, and level of effort required to complete each phase. The work plan will also specify the stakeholder engagement process and communication plan, including target participants for each engagement opportunity including staff, leadership, and community stakeholders.
Provide progress updates
We’ll work with City leadership to establish protocols for managing work and submitting progress reports to verify the project is being performed on time, within budget, and at a satisfactory level of quality. To keep you informed of project progress, we will host biweekly or monthly progress coordination meetings, in-person meetings at key milestones, and will provide regular reports (at the City’s desired frequency) that address schedule status, budget status, and any issues that may require attention.
Perform quality assurance
A principal will review all deliverables to verify that our mutual quality standards are met before submittal.
PHASE 1 DELIVERABLES
• Final work plan and schedule
• Ongoing progress reports
• Ongoing quality assurance reviews
December 1, 2025 CC Regular Mtg Page 169 of 287
Proposal for City of San Fernando 14
Phase 2 FACT FINDING
We believe the strategic planning process is just as important as the resulting plan. Fact finding activities will include assembling appropriate information from relevant documents and stakeholder engagement.
Conduct environmental scan
The environmental scan will provide essential input for the planning process by identifying focus areas to be addressed by goals, objectives, and initiatives.
• We’ll conduct 1:1 interviews and/or focus groups with City Council members, the City Manager, and Executive staff.
• We will request and review relevant documents, including past plans, organizational charts, and budgets. In addition, we will review any relevant employee or community feedback that has been collected within the past five years.
Key elements of the environmental scan will include understanding the City’s current and future needs as we assess strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.
PHASE 2 DELIVERABLES
• Environmental scan results
• SWOT analysis
Phase 3 FACILITATION
This phase involves planning workshops with City leaders to develop core elements of the strategic plan.
Planning session facilitation
We’ll facilitate between two and three strategic planning workshops with City leadership (City Council, City Manager, and Executive staff) to create the core elements of the strategic plan. Our planning sessions will focus on the development of strategic goals aligned with the organization's mission, vision, and values; actionable strategies; and performance metrics.
In these interactive sessions, we will:
• Review the results of the environmental scan and SWOT analysis • Revisit and revise (if needed) the City’s mission, vision, and value statements • Develop strategic goals, objectives, and action items The work session will be an engaging and iterative process where input from the City Council, management, staff, and community is merged to create a document that reflects the insights and priorities of each group. The goal is to ensure that: 1) priorities are well understood, 2) there is strong alignment between the overarching strategy and the specific tactics, and 3) performance measures are meaningful.
The exact date(s) for the workshops will be determined by the City’s project team during the project planning process and will take into consideration participant availability. In between sessions, we may use surveys and small group discussions to gain insight into priorities, outcomes, and activities to achieve results. The goal will be to provide sufficient time between sessions to incorporate results and December 1, 2025 CC Regular Mtg Page 170 of 287
Proposal for City of San Fernando 15
review them with City leadership before for the next session, while maintaining momentum by avoiding too much time between sessions.
PHASE 3 DELIVERABLES
• Planning session agenda, materials, and facilitation for 2-3 sessions • Planning session results
Phase 4 REPORTING
The final phase planning process includes drafting and finalizing the strategic plan.
Draft strategic plan
In addition to the information developed for each stage of the planning process, the primary deliverable will be a comprehensive strategic plan that documents the planning process, participants, and results.
The strategic plan will function both as the City’s blueprint for success and as a powerful communication tool that clearly defines the City’s mission, vision, priorities, goals, objectives, strategies, and outcome measures. The plan will serve as a “living” document that covers a five-year period. The overall strategic plan will incorporate the following elements:
• Vision, mission, and values
• Goals, objectives, and actions
• A high-level implementation roadmap
• Outcome-focused performance metrics
We will submit the draft plan to City leadership for review and revise the draft plan based on comments.
Community outreach
Once an initial draft of the strategic plan is developed, we will gather input from the broader City community—including employees, partners, residents, and stakeholders.
For the employee input, we can conduct an organization-wide survey. For the community input, we will conduct a survey and host at least one in-person and one virtual open house. If desired, we can also do a train-the-trainer model so that City staff members can host additional community input sessions. We will summarize the results of the community outreach efforts and present potential plan updates to City leadership for consideration.
Submit final strategic plan
We will then present the finalized plan and process overview to City Council for adoption.
Process implementation support
Key to implementation success is ongoing tracking, reporting, and evaluation of plan execution. We’ll work with the City to establish an implementation tracking template and a process for data collection to support performance reporting and monitor progress toward the strategic goals. In addition, we will codevelop an annual process where senior management recommend key activities to support the strategic plan goals and objectives in alignment with the City’s budgeting process.
Strategy Management Software (optional)
Recent years have seen the development of robust, moderately priced, cloud-based technology tools to facilitate the strategy deployment and results tracking and reporting processes. These tools allow for a more rapid, effective and sustainable transition from strategic planning to strategic management.

Proposal for City of San Fernando 16
Among the leading providers of strategy management software in the local government market today is a company called Envisio. The strategy, data analytics, performance evaluation and reporting functionality supports important strategic management needs, including:
• Alignment of strategic plan and financial plans
• Aggregation and visualization of results data
• Performance benchmarking
• Organizational and community dashboards to drive transparency • Management of employee performance
Baker Tilly has a strategic alliance with Envisio, though we are neither a reseller nor an implementer of the Envisio application suite. We can provide value-added professional services in the design of performance dashboards and reporting tools to assist in the tracking and monitoring of strategic plan progress of the progress of any other planning process you may have. Examples could include the annual budget, capital improvement plan, and others. Should you be interested in exploring, now or later in the planning process, we can arrange for a product demonstration and provide costing for consideration.
PHASE 4 DELIVERABLES
• Draft strategic plan
• Employee and/or community engagement results, including the facilitation of two community outreach sessions (one in-person and one virtual) • Final strategic plan

Project timeline
Strategic planning projects typically take approximately five to six months to complete from project startup to delivery of the final plan. The overall timing will depend on the availability of key City personnel and the general timing of this work in relation to other relevant work impacting the organization. Should we be awarded this work, we are available to begin work shortly after contract execution.
