AGENDA REPORT
ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT 117 MACNEIL STREET, SAN FERNANDO, CA 91340 (818) 898-1202 WWW.SFCITY.ORG REVIEW: ☒ City Clerk ☒ Director of Admin Services ☒ City Manager To: Mayor Joel Fajardo and Councilmembers
From: Kanika Kith, City Manager

Date: January 5, 2026
Subject: Consideration to Approve a Reimbursement Request of $12,293.36 from the Mall Association for Marketing Services Provided by Yeah, We Get It RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:
a. Approve Reimbursement Request No. 2 in the amount of $12,293.36 from the Mall Association for marketing services provided by Yeah, We Get It (Attachment “A”), in accordance with the agreement between the City and the Mall Association (Attachment “B” - Contract No. 768,); and
b. Authorize the City Manager to issue payment directly to Yeah, We Get It.

BACKGROUND:

1. On November 4, 1968, the City adopted Ordinance No. 973 (Attachment “C”), establishing Parking and Business Improvement Area B (“Area B”) pursuant to the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1964 (Street and Highways Code Section 36000 et seq.) (the “BID”).

The BID establishes a special tax paid by businesses located within Area B, the proceeds of which may only be used for those statutorily designated purposes listed under Section 36000 of the Street and Highways Code and Section 62-139. Special tax proceeds may be used for the following uses: (a) the acquisition, construction or maintenance of parking facilities for the benefit of Area B; (b) the decoration of any public place within Area B; (c) the promotion of public events which are to take place on or in public places within Area B; (d) the furnishing of music in any public place; and (e) the general promotion of retail trade activities in the area. The BID is designed to enhance the commercial appeal of Area B and foster greater community engagement with businesses within Area B.

2. On September 5, 1984, some businesses interests within Area B formed a private California non-profit mutual benefit corporation called the San Fernando Mall Assessment District, Inc., (the “Mall Association”1) whose purpose was “to promote the interests of the Mall 1 In 1990, the San Fernando Mall Assessment District, Inc. changed its name to its current name, the San Fernando Mall Association, Inc.

January 5, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 435 of 600 Consideration to Approve a Reimbursement Request from the Mall Association of $12,293.36 for Yeah, We Get It

Assessment District and members thereof for the betterment and improvement of the area covered by the assessment district and to further and advance the commercial, industrial and public interest of the Mall Assessment District” (Articles of Incorporation dated September 5, 1984).

3. On December 17, 1984, the City and the Mall Association executed Contract No. 768 (Attachment “B”) (the “Agreement”) under which the City hired the Mall Association to perform work and render services relating to the statutorily designated uses of the Area B special tax, excluding mall maintenance which is reserved to the City. Under the Agreement, the Mall Association was required to submit annual programs and budgets for approval, provide biannual activity reports, and operate on a reimbursement basis with a $1,000 cash fund advanced by the City for operating expenses. Additionally, under the Agreement, the Mall Association was also authorized to engage in fundraising from time to time, provided that any profit realized from such fundraising was to be used for the same purposes as the BID special tax.

4. From 2007 to 2020, the City issued reimbursements and advance payments to the Mall Association for various expenses and events (Attachment “D”).

5. On November 7, 2025, the Mall Association submitted a reimbursement request of $43,143.68 for website development with Sherpa Marketing, social media and special events support with Yeah, We Get It, and annual insurance with State Farm (Attachment “E”).

6. On November 10, 2025, staff notified the Mall Association that supporting documentation (invoices, contracts, receipts, etc.) was required to evaluate the reimbursement request (Attachment “F”). Staff also advised that the Mall Association had not submitted an Annual Program and Budget Request for City Council approval, as required under Contract No. 768 (Attachment “B”).

7. On November 12, 2025, the City, with City Council approval, issued notice to the Mall Association of the City’s intent to terminate the Agreement. Per Section 7 of the Agreement, the termination becomes effective 60 days from the date of the termination notice (i.e., January 12, 2026). Until then the Agreement remains operative.

8. On November 19, 2025, staff received an email from the President of the Mall Association indicating that an invoice in the amount of $5,850.00 from a vendor known as Yeah, We Get (“YWGI”) was past due (Attachment “G”) for social media and special events support in furtherance of the Mall Associations obligations under the Agreement. Staff subsequently received a call from Natasha Sanchez, co-owner of YWGI, requesting payment for three (3) outstanding invoices. Staff informed Ms. Sanchez that only one invoice was received on November 19, 2025, and that this invoice was not included in the reimbursement request submitted on November 7, 2025. Ms. Sanchez advised staff that two additional invoices were outstanding and stated she would request that the Mall Association submit them.

January 5, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 436 of 600 Consideration to Approve a Reimbursement Request from the Mall Association of $12,293.36 for Yeah, We Get It

9. On November 24, 2025, the President of the Mall Association submitted three invoices totaling $12,293.36 for YWGI (Attachment “A”). These three invoices were not included in the November 7, 2025 reimbursement request. That same day, staff obtained written confirmation from the Mall Association authorizing the city to process these three invoices separately from the larger reimbursement request submitted on November 7, 2025 (Attachment “G”).

ANALYSIS:

In December 1984, the City entered into Contract No. 768 with the Mall Association to perform the activities under Ordinance No. 973, excluding mall maintenance, which remains the responsibility of the City. The agreement also authorizes the Mall Association to conduct fundraising activities, including the Outdoor Market. Proceeds from fundraising must be used to promote retail trade and public engagement within Area B.

Under the Agreement, the Mall Association is required to submit the following reports annually:

1. Annual Program and Budget Request (Due November 15).

This document identifies proposed programs and associated costs for the upcoming calendar year (January 1 through December 31). For example, a 2024 Program and Budget Request would cover the 2025 calendar year. The purpose is to outline planned activities, costs, and funding needs related to promoting retail trade and public engagement in Area B.

2. Semi-Annual Activity Report (Due January 1 and July 1) These reports describe completed activities and associated costs for the prior six-month period (July to December and January to June, respectively).

To date, the Mall Association has not submitted either the Annual Program and Budget Request or the required Semi-Annual Activity Reports. As a result, all reimbursement requests require City Council approval.

Reimbursement Requests
Reimbursement Request No. 1 - $43,143.68 received on November 7, 2025.

The Mall Association submitted a reimbursement request totaling $43,143.68 for the following expenses (Attachment “E”):
• Website development by Sherpa Marketing: $14,866.68
• Social media and special events support by YWGI (February 2025–August 2025):
$27,650.00
• Annual insurance premium with State Farm: $627.00
To date, the Mall Association has not provided supporting documentation required under Contract No. 768, such as invoices, contracts, proof of payment, and related records. As required by the contract, this documentation is necessary to verify that the requested reimbursement is January 5, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 437 of 600 Consideration to Approve a Reimbursement Request from the Mall Association of $12,293.36 for Yeah, We Get It

eligible, accurately reflects expenditures incurred, and complies with the approved use of funds for activities benefiting businesses within Area B.

In particular, documentation is needed to clarify the total amount of funds available and expended by the Mall Association, including funds generated from the Outdoor Market and the manner in which certain expenses were paid. Based on information presented by the Mall Association to the Mall MOU Ad Hoc Committee on April 2, 2025, approximately $93,000 in Outdoor Market funds was available at that time, and the Mall Association has also indicated that some expenses included in the reimbursement request were paid using personal funds from Board members. These circumstances further demonstrate the need for complete financial documentation to ensure transparency and compliance with Contract No. 768.

Reimbursement Request No. 2 - $12,293.36 received on November 24, 2025.

The Mall Association submitted three unpaid invoices totaling $12,293.36 from YWGI for services provided in August and September 2025 (Attachment “A”). These invoices were not included in the November 7, 2025 request and are being processed separately at the Mall Association’s request. A summary of the request is illustrated in Table 1.

Table 1 - Reimbursement Request No. 2
Invoice Date Invoice No. Amount Services
8/28/2025 1010 $6,200.00 Marketing, Social Media, Micro-Event, and Temporary Administration
9/10/2025 1011 $243.36 Supplies for August Sidewalk Sales Series 9/28/2025 1012 $5,850.00 Marketing, Social Media, Mirco-Event Total $12,293.36
Supporting documentation from YWGI demonstrates that an agreement was executed with the Mall Association for services from July 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025, which included:
• Management of Mall Association social media with a focus on merchant engagement and community building
• Hiring, training, and management of a dedicated Executive Assistant • Quarterly merchant meetings with technology support
• Website updates and light maintenance
• Organization of monthly micro-events and promotions
The agreement specifies a cost of $7,200 per month, or $6,200 per month in months without micro-events.

Documentation further shows that invoices totaling $28,9502 for services provided between February 2025 and July 2025 have already been paid via QuickBooks or Zelle (Attachment “H”). 2 Documents from YWGI show that the Mall Association paid YWGI $28,950, but Reimbursement Request No. 1 indicates a payment of $27,650.

January 5, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 438 of 600 Consideration to Approve a Reimbursement Request from the Mall Association of $12,293.36 for Yeah, We Get It

The three invoices included in Reimbursement Request No. 2 remain unpaid. YWGI has stopped providing services due to nonpayment.

Staff recommends approval of Reimbursement Request No. 2 in the amount of $12,293.36, with payment issued directly to YWGI for services provided.

BUDGET IMPACT:

The city collects approximately $40,000 per year from businesses in Area B. The current balance in Account No. 001-2260 is $32,804.94, which includes current encumbrances for holiday decorations. Approval of Reimbursement Request No. 2 in the amount of $12,293.36 would result in a remaining balance $20,511.58.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve Reimbursement Request No. 2 in the amount of $12,293.36 for marketing and event services provided to the Mall Association and authorize the City Manager to issue payment directly to Yeah, We Get It.

January 5, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 471 of 600 Funding request, August to December
2025
As treasurer of the San Fernando Mall Association, I have been tasked by the board of directors to prepare a summary statement of expenses for reimbursement of expenses incurred by the Mall Association during the period of June to October 2025.

As you know, it has been a number of years since the Association has requested funding of any kind. Due to various factors that include a reduction in our income outside the tax funding structure, we are now in a position where a funding request is necessary. The downtown Association is committed to revitalizing the downtown mall corridor through consistent merchant engagement, coordinated marketing, and strategic events. The timely reimbursement of the requested funds will help us in these efforts.

Attached below is an itemized breakdown of expenses during this period, dates paid and their corresponding categories. Copies of invoices and receipts will be made available if needed upon request.

Feel free to reach out to me at any time to discuss and thank you for your prompt attention.

Good morning Tom,
We have received your email of November 7, 2025, transmitting a reimbursement request submitted on behalf of the San Fernando Mall Association (“Association”) for sums spent between January 31, 2025, and September 30, 2025, totaling approximately $43,143.68. We understand that this request is made pursuant to the agreement executed between the Association and the City on December 17, 1984, Contract No. 768 (the “Agreement”).

While the City does not waive any of the Association's obligations and responsibilities under the Agreement, including those found under Section 5 of the Agreement which required the submission of certain documentation by November 15, 2024 for expenditures in calendar year 2025, we nevertheless ask that you provide copies of all supporting document for the expenditures you now seek reimbursement for, including invoices, contracts, receipts and other supporting documentation associated with the expenses you list. We cannot consider you request without this information. As a budget and work plan for this period was never approved by the City Council, this reimbursement request will need to be presented to the Council for approval prior to any disbursement of funds. With all this in mind, please also note that the City does not waive any rights it has under the Agreement by this email response.

Please provide the requested documents at your earliest convenience so we can evaluate the request and determine what sums, if any, may be eligible for reimbursement. If you have any questions or need clarification regarding the required materials, feel free to reach out.

Thank you,

Date: January 5, 2026
Subject: Consideration to Approve Co-Sponsorship and Use of the City Seal for Together We Thrive Food Distribution Events
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:
a. Approve Co-Sponsorship of weekly food distribution events hosted by Together We Thrive to support food security and community well-being through the San Fernando Together Initiative; and
b. Approve the use of the City seal on print material and social media pursuant to City Council Ordinance No. 1724 (Attachment “A”).

BACKGROUND:

1. On July 7, 2025, the City Council approved several programming items related to immigrant-related assistance and community resources to establish the San Fernando Together initiative. Services have included providing one-time financial assistance grants, food and grocery distribution, connecting households with supportive services, waiver of late fees for business licenses, and bringing the Mexican Consulate on Wheels program to San Fernando.

2. On August 4, 2025, the City entered into an Agreement with Ignite the Light of Hope Foundation, which included the administration of two (2) food distributions per month in the City and piloting a direct-to-home grocery delivery program.

3. In November 2025, staff contacted Together We Thrive, an organization that began hosting food distributions in the City in October 2025, to explore opportunities to collaborate.

January 5, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 497 of 600 Consideration to Approve Co-Sponsorship and Use of the City Seal for Together We Thrive Food Distribution Events

ANALYSIS:

The City recognizes the importance of fostering an inclusive, resilient, and equitable community where all residents have access to basic necessities that support physical health, household stability, and overall well-being. To advance this commitment and respond to increased immigration-related enforcement activities in the community, the City launched the San Fernando Together Initiative in July 2025, to coordinate emergency relief efforts and connect residents to essential resources, including food access and other community-based services for households experiencing economic hardship.

As part of this roll out, the City entered into a Contract services Agreement with Ignite the Light of Hope Foundation on August 4, 2025, which included the administration of two (2) food distributions per month in the City and piloting a direct to home grocery delivery program. To further support food security needs, staff have continued to monitor existing food distributions in the City, offering marketing supports where possible.

In November 2025, staff contacted Together We Thrive, a nonprofit organization that operates programs focused on food distribution and access to clean water. Through its Thrive Food Bank, Together We Thrive conducts weekly outdoor food distribution events providing fresh, locally-sourced fruits and vegetables from farmers in Southern California to food-insecure populations. Food distribution events are currently held in San Fernando, Canoga Park, and Pasadena.

Together We Thrive has been hosting weekly food distribution events on Wednesdays in San Fernando at the Latin America Church of the Nazarene since October 2025. The organization informed staff that they have received between 130-160 visitors per distribution since beginning the program in San Fernando and that they have the capacity to increase their output as needed.

Staff is requesting City Council approval to co-sponsor these weekly food distribution events through the San Fernando Together Initiative. Co-sponsorship would allow the City to support outreach and awareness efforts, authorize the use of the City seal on promotional materials.

The proposed co-sponsorship would allow the City to support resident awareness of available food resources and formalize limited, non-financial support for the weekly distribution events, without establishing an ongoing operational or funding commitment. This co-sponsorship will expand the City’s current marketing capability related to these distributions by enabling direct social media promotions, expanding the audience for the events. Staff will work with the organization to bring back a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to City Council to expand potential partnership opportunities.

January 5, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 498 of 600 Consideration to Approve Co-Sponsorship and Use of the City Seal for Together We Thrive Food Distribution Events

BUDGET IMPACT:

There is no budget impact associated with co-sponsoring Together We Thrive food distribution events. The sponsorship entails providing in-kind support, such as utilizing social media outlets for marketing and featuring future events on the City's website.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve Co-Sponsorship of food distribution events to support food security and community well-being through the San Fernando Together Initiative; and approve the use of the City seal on print material and social media pursuant to City Council Ordinance No. 1724 (Attachment “A”).

Date: January 5, 2026
Subject: A Public Hearing to Consider Approving Introduction for First Reading of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 90 (Traffic and Vehicles) of the San Fernando Municipal Code to Modify Parking Restrictions of Certain Vehicles Including for Use as Human Habitations
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:
a. Conduct a Public Hearing; and

b. Pending public testimony, approve introduction for first reading, Ordinance No. 1738 (Attachment “A”) in title only, and waive further reading of “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of San Fernando, California, Amending Chapter 90 (Traffic And Vehicles) of the San Fernando Municipal to Modify Parking Restrictions of Campers, Recreational Vehicles, Utility Trailers, and Other Vehicles Including Those Used for Human Habitation.” BACKGROUND:

1. On April 15, 1991, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1379 and established a Residential Parking Permit Program.

5. On July 15, 2024, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Dixon Resources Unlimited (“Dixon”) (Contract No. 2268) for Residential Parking Program Implementation Services consulting services.

6. On November 7, 2024, City staff and Dixon met with the Parking Ad Hoc Committee to provide project updates and gather feedback.

7. On April 16, 2025, City staff and Dixon met with the Parking Ad Hoc Committee to provide project updates and receive additional feedback.

8. On April 3, 2025, the Transportation and Public Safety Commission received a presentation on the Citywide RPP Program.

9. On April 14, 2025, the Planning and Preservation Commission received a presentation on the Citywide RPP Program.

10. On July 7, 2025, the City Council received a presentation and conducted the first reading of amendments to Chapter 90 of the San Fernando Municipal Code, which included restrictions on campers and RVs and revitalization of the RPP Program.

11. On August 4, 2025, the City Council directed staff to separate the proposed changes of the ordinance into two (2) separate ordinances – one (1) specifically addressing Residential Parking Permits and one (1) addressing parking restrictions and permits for Recreational Vehicles (RV).

12. On September 15, 2025, the City Council approved an ordinance amending Section 90-1, Chapter 90 (Traffic and Vehicles) of the San Fernando Municipal Code to implement a Residential Parking Permit Program (RPP).

ANALYSIS:

A recreation vehicle (RV) is a motorized or towable vehicle designed for leisure travel and temporary living accommodations. Common types include motorhomes, travel trailers, fifthwheel trailers, and camper vans, each offering varying levels of comfort and mobility. While RVs provide flexibility and convenience for travelers, their use within city limits can impact traffic flow, parking availability, public safety, and neighborhood aesthetics. For these reasons, local municipalities must establish regulations to ensure RV parking, storage, and operation align with community standards, protect infrastructure, and maintain public safety.

January 5, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 510 of 600 A Public Hearing to Consider Approving Introduction for First Reading of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 90 (Traffic and Vehicles) of the San Fernando Municipal Code to Modify Parking Restrictions of Certain Vehicles Including for Use as Human Habitations

In developing the proposed regulations, City staff and Dixon, the City’s parking consultant, conducted parking utilization studies, reviewed enforcement data, and engaged with residents and community stakeholders. This analysis identified recurring issues such as prolonged vehicle parking, reduced street visibility, and impacts to neighborhood safety and accessibility.

The proposed ordinance amends Chapter 90 of the San Fernando Municipal Code to establish a Residential RV Parking Permit Program and to prohibit the use of vehicles for human habitation on public streets. These amendments are intended to create clear, enforceable standards governing when and where RVs may be parked, while preserving reasonable access for residents and their guests. The ordinance responds to these concerns by establishing defined parking limits, permit requirements, and enforcement mechanisms.

The intent of the ordinance is to balance the needs of residents and visitors who lawfully own or use RVs with the City’s responsibility to maintain safe, clean, and accessible public streets, while also preserving the quality of life that San Fernando stakeholders expect. By creating a structured permit process and prohibiting vehicle habitation on public property, the ordinance aims to reduce neighborhood nuisances, enhance pedestrian and vehicular safety, and ensure consistent enforcement.

Under the proposed ordinance, permits will be issued through an application process and will be subject to annual limits and daily restrictions. The Chief of Police, or designee, is authorized to issue, deny, suspend, or revoke permits based on eligibility requirements, safety considerations, or violations of the ordinance. Such violations may include, but are not limited to, failure to meet residency requirements, exceeding permit limits, parking in unsafe locations, unpaid citations, submission of false information, or operation of an inoperable or unsafe vehicle.

Fees and administrative procedures associated with the RV Parking Permit Program will be established in alignment with the City’s existing Residential Parking Permit Program and presented to the City Council for consideration at a future date.

To support implementation, the Police Department will conduct a 30-day public outreach and education period prior to enforcement. Outreach efforts will include mailed notices, digital communications, and posted signage to inform residents of the new requirements and compliance expectations.

The ordinance includes the following key provisions:
• Permit Administration and Application Process: The Chief of Police, or designee, may issue, deny, suspend, or revoke resident and guest RV permits based on eligibility, safety considerations, or ordinance violations.

January 5, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 511 of 600 A Public Hearing to Consider Approving Introduction for First Reading of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 90 (Traffic and Vehicles) of the San Fernando Municipal Code to Modify Parking Restrictions of Certain Vehicles Including for Use as Human Habitations

• Resident RV Permits: Permits will allow up to two consecutive days of overnight parking, expiring at 6:00 a.m. on the third day, with a maximum of four permit days per month per address.
• Guest RV Permits: Guest permits will allow limited overnight parking for visitors under the same time and frequency restrictions as Residential Permits. • Permit Limitations: Only one permit may be active per address at a time. RVs must be parked on the same block as the associated residence and may not be parked within 50 feet of an intersection.
• Restrictions on Human Habitation: Use of vehicles for habitation, including sleeping, cooking, or waste disposal, is prohibited.
• Prohibited Activities: Running utility connections, discharging waste, obstructing sidewalks or roadways, or creating safety hazards are prohibited. • Enforcement and Appeals: Violations may result in citations, towing, or permit revocation. Affected parties may appeal decisions pursuant to the City’s established administrative procedures.

The proposed ordinance provides a clear, enforceable framework to balance community standards with reasonable accommodation for RV use, ensuring consistent application of parking regulations while supporting public safety and neighborhood quality of life.

BUDGET IMPACT:

There is no direct budget impact to the adoption of Ordinance No. 1738. The ordinance establishes regulatory language and enforcement authority only. Permit administration, signage, and enforcement will be absorbed within the Police Department’s existing work plan and are included in the FY 2025-2026 Adopted Budget. As future program resources or fee schedules are necessary, staff will return to the City Council for consideration.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends the City Council conduct a public hearing and, pending public testimony, consider approving introduction for first reading, in title only, and waive further reading of Ordinance No. 1738 titled “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of San Fernando, California, Amending Chapter 90 (Traffic and Vehicles) of the San Fernando Municipal Code to January 5, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 512 of 600 A Public Hearing to Consider Approving Introduction for First Reading of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 90 (Traffic and Vehicles) of the San Fernando Municipal Code to Modify Parking Restrictions of Certain Vehicles Including for Use as Human Habitations

AGENDA REPORT

From: Kanika Kith, City Manager
By: William Evans, Interim Director of Public Works

Date: January 5, 2026
Subject: Discussion and Consideration Regarding Concept Design Options for the Downtown Trash Enclosures Improvement Project
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:
a. Review three (3) concept design options (Attachment “A”) for the Downtown Trash Enclosures Improvement Project;
b. Approve Option No. 1 – Spanish/Mission Revival Style to proceed with final design; and c. Provide direction, as applicable.

BACKGROUND:

1. On January 21, 2025, the City Council received a presentation from staff on proposed recommendations for how to improve the trash enclosures within the Downtown Mall area.

The City Council directed staff to proceed with the demolition of two (2) enclosures and renovation of the remaining three (3) enclosures in the two parking lots along Truman Street and behind the stores facing San Fernando Road, from Brand Boulevard to San Fernando Mission Boulevard.

2. On March 6, 2025, the City posted a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Design Services for the Downtown Trash Enclosure Renovation Project on the City Website and an advertisement was placed in the San Fernando Sun newspaper.

3. On April 8, 2025, two (2) proposals were received from Plansman, Inc. and Rafael Franco and Associates, Inc.

January 5, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 541 of 600 Discussion and Consideration Regarding Design Options for the Downtown Trash Enclosures Improvement Project Concept

4. On June 2, 2025, the City Council awarded a professional services contract (Contract No. 2365) to Plansman, Inc. (Consultant) for design services for the Downtown Trash Enclosures Improvement Project.

5. On September 17, 2025, the design consultant presented three (3) concept designs for the proposed new trash enclosures for review by the Public Works Department.

6. On October 8, 2025, the City hosted a community outreach Open House event in City Parking Lot No. 4 located adjacent to the first alley south of Truman St. between Brand Blvd. and Maclay Ave. to present the three (3) concept designs for the San Fernando Mall and gather feedback from business owners and the community members.

ANALYSIS:

Trash enclosures in a downtown pedestrian mall retail center are an important part of an overall waste management system and offer several important benefits, including improved aesthetics by keeping waste out of sight, better odor and pest control, and a cleaner, more inviting environment for shoppers and visitors. Waste enclosures support local businesses by enhancing the customer experience and promoting a hygienic, well-maintained setting. They also help ensure compliance with health and sanitation regulations, reduce illegal dumping, and protect stormwater systems by preventing debris from entering drains. Additionally, centralized waste areas improve collection efficiency for sanitation crews, making overall operations smoother and more cost-effective.

The San Fernando Mall is a two-block area along San Fernando Road bracketed by San Fernando Mission Boulevard and Brand Boulevard comprised of mostly retailers and service outlets, including multiple food operations. Currently, there are five (5) trash enclosures located in the two (2) parking lots along Truman Street and behind the stores facing San Fernando Road that serve approximately 50 businesses. Many of the bins stored in these enclosures are frequently left unlocked or open. Additionally, due to the lack of gates or doors on the enclosures, unauthorized individuals have access to the bins. This unrestricted access has led to consistent overfilling of the bins, illegal dumping, and unsanitary conditions surrounding these enclosures.

The trash problem within the San Fernando Mall is both consistent and long standing.

To address these problems, the City Council awarded a contract on June 2, 2025, to Plansman, Inc. for the design of Downtown Trash Enclosures Improvement Project. The purpose of the Downtown Trash Enclosures Improvement Project is to replace the existing trash enclosures in the two parking lots with centralized enclosures that incorporate design features that are standard in modern waste management systems.

January 5, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 542 of 600 Discussion and Consideration Regarding Design Options for the Downtown Trash Enclosures Improvement Project Concept

On October 8, 2025, the City gathered comments on the three (3) concept design options from the community at a community outreach Open House event held in City Parking Lot No. 4 located adjacent to the first alley south of Truman St. between Brand Blvd. and Maclay Ave. In addition, on October 1, 2025, the City solicited input from business and property owners that utilize these enclosures, via US mail. On October 1, 2025, City Staff also hand delivered comment forms to business and property owners in the San Fernando Mall. The consensus was that the three (3) concept design options were well received, but no particular preference was indicated.

Comments received included a desire for the City to implement a porter service where trash is picked up daily from the inside of each business and transported to an off-site facility therefore freeing the alleys for outdoor dining and eliminating the need for City-owned trash enclosures.

Since the porter service option would require additional analysis, businesses consensus, establishment of collection fees, and hiring of a contractor to implement, staff recommends that if City Council wishes, this option be explored as a separate project and that the City proceed with the original plan to reconstruct the trash enclosures.

The three (3) concept designs prepared by Plansman, Inc. for selection are included as Attachment “A”. All three (3) design options feature enclosures equipped with a roof, gates for the solid waste management franchisee (Republic Services) access, and a service door for business owner access. Per City Council’s request, one of the design options reflects a Spanish/Mission Revival style. Two other design options are included for City Council’s consideration should a different style be preferred.

BUDGET IMPACT:

There is no budget impact for the selection of a concept design option. The project has an approved budget of $450,500 from Measure W Funds.

CONCLUSION:

It is recommended that the City Council review and approve Option No. 1 – Spanish/Mission Revival Style for the new trash enclosures to proceed with final design and provide direction, as applicable.

The meeting is scheduled for Friday, May 8, 2026, at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort in Palm Desert.

ANALYSIS:

Appointing Councilmembers to Liaison and Ad Hoc committees strengthens the City’s governance by promoting communication, collaboration, and transparency. Liaisons facilitate information exchange between the City Council and external boards or agencies, ensuring alignment on key issues. Ad Hoc committees focus on specific projects, enabling in-depth discussions and customized policy recommendations. These appointments help Councilmembers engage with stakeholders, address community priorities, and contribute to well-informed decision-making. The annual reorganization ensures these roles remain effective and responsive to evolving local government needs.

Pursuant to Section 11.2 of the City Council Procedures Manual (Attachment “E”), the Mayor, with the consent of the majority of the City Council, may appoint Councilmembers to serve on Liaison Committees and Ad Hoc Committees. Mayor Fajardo’s recommended City Council Liaison and Ad Hoc Committee Assignments and changes are included as Attachment “A”. City Council Liaison and Ad Hoc Committee Assignment lists are included in redlined version as Attachment “B”.

Disaster Council.

The Disaster Council Committee in San Fernando is a local advisory body formed to assist the City in preparing for, coordinating, and responding to emergencies. The Disaster Council operates in alignment with California’s Emergency Services Act and State and Federal emergency standards to ensure effective coordination of resources. Duties of the Disaster Council include developing and recommending emergency and mutual aid plans and agreements, as well as proposing any ordinances or resolutions necessary to implement these plans and agreements.

Pursuant to the San Fernando Municipal Code Section 26-91 (Attachment “C”), the Disaster Council (Exhibit “A” of Attachment “C” was created in May, 1991 and is overseen by the City Manager’s Office. The Disaster Council is composed of nine (9) members:
• Four (4) City representatives that includes a Chair and Vice Chair • Five (5) representatives from the Fire Department, American Red Cross, Los Angeles Unified School District, and the California Emergency Mobile Patrol (or a similar trained volunteer organization).

City representatives serve one-year term, while all other members serve two-year terms.

The current list of members of the Disaster Council is outdated due to recent staff changes. Staff recommends that the City Council appoint Councilmembers to serve as Chair and Vice Chair for a one-year term, or until successors are selected, and resume quarterly meetings as needed.

Meetings are open to the public and conducted in compliance with the Brown Act. The Disaster Council last met on August 23, 2021.

Southern California Association of Governments – Voting Delegate and Alternate Delegate.

Founded in 1965, Southern California Association of Governments (“SCAG”) is a joint powers authority under California state law, established as an association of local governments and agencies that voluntarily convene as a forum to address regional issues. Under state law, SCAG is designated as a regional transportation planning agency and a Council of Governments.

The City of San Fernando is a member city of SCAG. Being a member city provides municipalities with benefits such as access to regional planning resources, influence on transportation and housing policy, eligibility for funding, and a stronger voice in state and federal advocacy.

SCAG hosts a Regional Conference and General Assembly Annual Business Meeting, during which Assembly members consider and take action on resolutions that establish Assembly policy. Each member city has the right to cast one (1) vote on matters pertaining to Southern California Association of Governments policy. To participate in voting at the Annual Business Meeting, the City Council must designate a Voting Delegate and an Alternate Voting Delegate. The Alternate may vote if the Voting Delegate is unable to serve in that capacity SCAG’s 2026 Regional Conference and General Assembly Business Meeting will be held on Thursday to Friday, May 7 to 8, 2026, with the General Assembly meeting to occur on Friday, May 8, 2026. The conference is being held at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa in Palm Desert, California.

BUDGET IMPACT:

The City Council annual updates to the liaison assignments and ad hoc committees lists, Committees are included in the City Clerk’s regular work plan and, therefore, included in the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Adopted Budget.

January 5, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 567 of 600 Procedural Manual – City Council of the City of San Fernando 21 a. City Clerk opens the nominations for the position of Mayor b. Nomination(s) is/are made for Mayor, and seconded
c. Hearing no objections, motion to close nominations
d. City Clerk conducts a roll call vote and each Councilmember announces their vote for Mayor until a Mayor is elected by majority vote e. City Clerk announces the results
Election of Vice Mayor:  (City Clerk to follow steps a‐e above)

11.2 SELECTION OF CITY COUNCIL LIAISONS AND DELEGATES
After the procedure prescribed in Section 11.1 has been completed, the Mayor, with the consent of a majority of the City Council, may appoint new City Council liaisons/delegates to the various City Committees and Commissions, or as liaison/delegate to any other organization as may be appropriate. Nothing in this Section would prohibit the Mayor, with approval of a majority of the City Council from making changes or other appointments during any other time.

12. COMMITTEES

12.1 GENERAL
The Mayor may, subject to concurrence of a majority of the City Council: (a) designate standing and ad hoc committees (collectively “Committee”); and (b) make appointments to all committees.

Each standing committee shall consist of two (2) Councilmembers.  An ad hoc committee may consist of either one or two Councilmembers.

12.2 PURPOSE
The primary purpose of each Committee is to provide a forum for the thorough vetting of matters within the committee’s subject matter jurisdiction, before they are presented to the City Council.   A secondary purpose is to provide guidance to City staff on matters within the committee’s subject matter jurisdiction, enabling staff to obtain interim guidance as they develop and refine matters for presentation to the City Council.  The objective is to eliminate, to the extent possible, those situations where the City Council is forced to deal with large and difficult issues at their meetings without any prior formal discussion or analytical input to guide staff’s work product.

Ad hoc committees shall have a clear and definite scope and will be dissolved upon completion of the scope, unless otherwise extended by the City Council with a new scope. Ad hoc committees are less formal than standing committees and are therefore not subject to the requirements of the Ralph M. Brown Act.

Human Trafficking Awareness and Prevention Event for the City of San Fernando January is National Human Trafficking Prevention Month in the United States, a designated time for governments, organizations, and individuals to raise awareness about human trafficking (forced labor/sex) and learn to spot signs, prevent exploitation, and support survivors, building on the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 and annual presidential and local government proclamations to combat this modern slavery.

This year, Los Angeles is hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Large influxes of visitors for major events create opportunities for traffickers to exploit vulnerable people. Concerns about human trafficking in connection with the 2026 FIFA World Cup have prompted host cities, governments, and non-profit organizations in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico to develop and implement proactive prevention and awareness initiatives. There is a consensus among advocates that major events like the World Cup increase the risk of both sex and labor trafficking.

ZOE International is a non-profit organization that works in the County of Los Angeles and with the County of Los Angeles to combat human trafficking and operates a state-licensed home for child survivors of trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation in LA County. ZOE also assists law enforcement on operations to help identify child and adult victims of trafficking. Upon recovery, ZOE provides resources and support to ensure survivors are connected to the help they need to begin their healing journey. ZOE also provides trainings and presentations about human trafficking to schools, churches, social workers, mental health workers, businesses, hotels, and community groups and creates high-quality educational brochures, videos, and other materials to educate the public about how to protect themselves and their communities from trafficking. ZOE has agreed to put on a presentation for our community regarding human trafficking awareness and prevention.

Approve a co-sponsorship of a human trafficking awareness and prevention presentation on January 29, 2026, with a possible follow-up date, for our community, including an emphasis on how to protect children, especially with online safety, that will be hosted by ZOE International. This cosponsorship would allow us to use Council Chambers for the presentation, allow our Police Department to participate more robustly, and allow the City to promote the event. ✔

Request to Agendize an Item for City Council Discussion/Consideration Form I believe it would be beneficial to have a section on the Request to Agendize an Item for City Council Discussion/Consideration Form that will inform us *which* City Council priority the item falls under and *which* budget item the item falls under. This may require the item to be analyzed by staff, if the Council so desires, but that would allow the City Council to adequately consider the request and any time or financial impacts it would have to our budget and staff.

Consideration of the Celebration District Charter: Merchant-Led Governance Framework for Area B Ordinance No. 973 authorizes four allowable uses for Area B assessment funds. Although the former Mall Association has been dissolved, Area B merchants continue to pay the annual assessment without an active organizational structure in place to oversee fund use or governance.

Merchants have expressed the need for increased transparency, accountability, and democratic participation in decisions affecting Area B. The proposed Celebration District Charter establishes a compliant, merchant-led framework through which the City and Area B merchants can collaboratively administer the district in alignment with Ordinance 973.

The purpose of agendizing this item is to introduce the Celebration District Charter to the City Council, initiate a formal review and feedback process, and establish a clear path toward potential implementation in early 2026.

Discussion and Review of Food Truck Vendor Events (“Foodzilla”) and Their Economic Impact on Nearby Local Restaurants
Food truck events, commonly referred to as “Foodzilla,” have been implemented as a community attraction bringing mobile food vendors into designated areas. While these events provide entertainment and food options for residents, concerns have been raised by nearby brick-and-mortar restaurants regarding potential economic impacts, including reduced foot traffic and competition during event times.

Feedback has been collected from local restaurant owners expressing varying perspectives—some noting decreased sales during events, while others have requested clearer communication, coordination, or mitigation strategies. The absence of a formal review process has limited the City’ s ability to fully evaluate the short- and long-term impacts on local businesses.

This item is agendized to openly discuss the impacts of food truck events on surrounding restaurants, review feedback received from business owners, and consider potential policy adjustments to balance community activation with economic support for existing local businesses.

Provide direction to City staff to:

Summarize and present feedback collected from nearby restaurant owners.

Analyze economic and operational impacts associated with Foodzilla events.

Explore potential strategies such as scheduling adjustments, geographic buffers, restaurant participation opportunities, or policy refinements.

Return to Council with recommendations that support both community engagement and the sustainability of local brick-and-mortar restaurants.

Assessment of Turf Restoration and Public Safety Conditions at San Fernando Recreation ParkFollowing Infiltration System Installation (2023)
Following the installation of the underground infiltration system at San Fernando Recreation Park, existing grass and soil were removed and subsequently replaced. At this time, the grass has not adequately re-established, leaving large areas of exposed or unstable ground. In addition, protective netting currently installed over portions of the turf presents a tripping hazard and creates the potential for falls, particularly for children, seniors, and individuals using the park for recreation or athletic activities.

The current condition of the park does not meet the standard of usability, safety, or appearance expected of a primary community recreational space. The lack of grass growth and presence of netting raises concerns regarding public safety, accessibility, and overall park functionality.

This item is agendized to formally assess the condition of the park, understand the causes of delayed turf establishment, evaluate interim safety risks, and identify corrective actions to restore the park to appropriate operational and safety standards.

Provide direction to City staff to:

Conduct an immediate assessment of turf restoration progress and safety hazards.

Identify corrective measures, including potential removal or mitigation of netting that poses a tripping risk.

Develop a clear timeline and action plan for restoring healthy grass coverage.

Report back to the City Council with findings, options, and recommended next steps to ensure the park meets safety and community-use expectations.

Review of Decorative Lighting in the Downtown Mall Area and Its Impact on Local Businesses Decorative lighting has been installed in the Downtown Mall area as part of broader efforts to enhance the district’s visual appeal, pedestrian experience, and overall sense of place. These improvements were intended to create a more inviting environment, encourage evening activity, and support local businesses by increasing foot traffic and dwell time.

Since installation, anecdotal feedback suggests that the lighting may have contributed to a more vibrant and welcoming atmosphere, particularly during evening hours and special events. However, a formal evaluation has not yet been conducted to determine whether the decorative lighting has resulted in measurable economic benefits, such as increased customer traffic, extended business hours, or higher sales for nearby merchants.

This item is agendized to assess whether the decorative lighting has had a positive impact on local businesses, to review any feedback collected from merchants, and to consider whether similar enhancements should be expanded, modified, or maintained as part of downtown revitalization efforts.

Provide direction to City staff to:

Collect and summarize feedback from Downtown Mall businesses regarding the perceived impact of decorative lighting.

Evaluate available data related to foot traffic, sales trends, and business activity before and after installation, where feasible.

Identify qualitative and quantitative indicators of success or areas for improvement.

Report back to the City Council with findings and recommendations regarding the continued use, expansion, or refinement of decorative lighting in the Downtown Mall area.
