From: Kanika Kith, City Manager
By: Erica D. Melton, Director of Administrative Services

Date: March 2, 2026
Subject: Consideration to Adopt a Resolution Approving the Warrant Register RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-031 (Attachment “A”) approving the Warrant Register.

BACKGROUND:

For each City Council meeting the Finance Division prepares a Warrant Register for City Council approval. The Register includes all recommended payments for the City. Checks, other than special checks, generally are not released until after the City 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 City 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 Adopt a Resolution Approving Job Specification for an Economic Development Manager and Adopt Resolutions Amending the Salary Plan and Table of Organization for Fiscal Year 2025-2026
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:
a. Adopt Resolution No. 8433 (Attachment “A”) approving job specification for an Economic Development Manager (Exhibit “1” and “2” to Attachment “A”); b. Adopt Resolution No. 8434 (Attachment “B”) amending the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2026 Salary Plan to incorporate an Economic Development Manager;
c. Adopt Resolution No. 8435 (Attachment “C”) amending the Table of Organization for FY 2025-2026 to incorporate an Economic Development Manager; and d. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to make non-substantive changes and execute all related documents.

BACKGROUND:

1. On December 18, 2025, the City provided notice to the San Fernando Management Group (SFMG) about creating a new classification for Senior Management Analyst and the amendment to the Economic Development Manager classification.

2. On January 8, 2026, the City reached a tentative agreement with SFMG regarding the new job specification for Senior Management Analyst.

3. On January 20, 2025, the City Council approved the Senior Management Analyst job specification.

Page 2 of 4 ends

4. On February 25, 2026, the City reached a tentative agreement with SFMG regarding the revised job specification for the Economic Development Manager.

ANALYSIS:

A job specification outlines the qualifications, skills, experience, and attributes required for a particular job role, serving as a detailed description of the ideal candidate. It helps employers clearly define what is necessary to perform the job effectively, including educational background, technical expertise, soft skills, and physical requirements, if applicable. Job specifications guide hiring decisions, ensure accurate recruitment and assessment of candidates, and serve as a basis for performance evaluations and training needs. This clarity ultimately helps align hiring processes with organizational goals and expectations.

Under the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (“MMBA”) (California Government Code §3500 et seq.), a city is required to provide opportunities to meet and confer in good faith with employee representatives and bargaining units about matters affecting work hours, wages, and other terms and conditions of employment, including job specifications for newly established positions. In accordance with the MMBA, staff met and conferred with SFMG to discuss the job specification for the Economic Development Manager classification.

Economic Development Manager.

On October 20, 2025, the City Council appointed Kanika Kith, formerly Deputy City Manager/Economic Development, as City Manager. Following this appointment, the Human Resources Division began recruitment to fill the vacant Deputy City Manager/Economic Development position. However, as City priorities shifted, staff reassessed this role and its associated responsibilities.

To better align with the City’s objectives, resources, and long-term vision, staff recommends that the City Council authorize the reclassification of the Deputy City Manager/Economic Development position to Economic Development. This approach will create a more focused and proactive framework for business attraction, retention, and long-term economic growth, while supporting a more coordinated and efficient economic development program. The Economic Development Manager will oversee the City’s economic development strategy, supervise the operations of the Business & Community Resources Center (BCRC), and provide administrative oversight of public information. The duties of the new Economic Development Manager position will include, but are not limited to, the following activities:
a. Provide expert professional assistance on economic development issues; conduct analyses, gather data, and prepare reports, policy recommendations, and implementation plans.

b. Lead initiatives to attract, retain, and expand businesses that create jobs and strengthen the City’s tax base; coordinate with City departments and external agencies to facilitate commercial and industrial development projects.
c. Develop and implement programs and initiatives that enhance the City’s vibrancy, sense of place, and economic vitality, including placemaking, business support, and community activation efforts.
d. Oversee and manage Discover San Fernando, the City’s tourism and marketing platform, including branding, promotion, and coordination with local businesses, organizations, and regional partners.
e. Represent the City in meetings with development professionals, elected and appointed officials, and community groups; conduct outreach, stakeholder engagement, and consensus-building efforts; and document outcomes.
f. Serve as the City’s ombudsman to the business community, working directly with developers, business owners, and property owners to support commercial activity and investment.
g. Supervise and evaluate professional, technical, and clerical staff in the BCRC; assign and prioritize work to support economic development initiatives and to provide business and residential community resources.
h. Provide support, guidance, and resources to both the business and residential communities, including assistance with City services, programs, and initiatives that enhance economic opportunity, quality of life, and community well-being. i. Facilitates the City’s community engagement framework, performing communications work related to planning, organizing, implementing public information, media relations, communications programs and marketing functions.

The recommended salary range for the Economic Development Manager is Salary Range 75M ($12,376–$15,043 per month). This reclassification will result in annual salary savings of approximately $50,000 as compared to the Deputy City Manager/Economic Development position.

In order to formalize the job specifications and associated salary, it is necessary to adopt the proposed resolutions (Attachments “A”, “B”, and “C”).

BUDGET IMPACT:

There is no budget impact associated with adopting the proposed job specification and amended salary resolution. Sufficient funding for the Economic Development Manager position isincluded in the FY 2025-2026 Adopted Budget.

AGENDA REPORT
RECREATION AND COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT 208 PARK AVENUE, SAN FERNANDO, CA 91340 (818) 898-1290 WWW.SANFERNANDO.GOV REVIEW: ☒ City Clerk ☒ Director of Admin Services ☒ City Manager To: Mayor Joel Fajardo and Councilmembers
From: Kanika Kith, City Manager
By: Julio Salcedo, Director of Recreation and Community Services

Date: March 2, 2026
Subject: Consideration to Approve an Agreement with the Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians to Develop and Maintain a Mural on the Water Tank at Rudy Ortega Sr. Park and Approve Final Design of the Mural
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:
a. Approve an agreement with the Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians (FTBMI) (Attachment “A” – Contract No. 2487) to develop and maintain a mural on the water tank at Rudy Ortega Park;
b. Approve the final design of the Mural (Exhibit “A” to Attachment “A”); and c. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to make non-substantive changes and execute the agreement and all related documents.

BACKGROUND:

1. On July 6, 2010, the City Council authorized the City Administrator to execute a Memorandum of Agreement (Agreement) with the FTBMI (Contract No. 1640) for Cultural Enrichment Programs at Rudy J. Ortega Sr. Park for a five (5) year term.

2. On August 2015, after expiration of the five-year agreement, staff met with the FTBMI to discuss future programming to establish a new agreement, including the celebration of Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

3. On July 18, 2016, the City Council approved Contract No. 1832, a Non-Exclusive License Agreement with the FTBMI for the use of Rudy J. Ortega Sr. Park and Recreation Park facilities for a period of 10 years.

Page 2 of 3 ends

4. On February 17, 2016, the City Council approved the Mural Project, with the condition that the proposed artwork be forwarded to the Parks, Wellness, and Recreation Commission for review and approval by the Commission and the City’s art liaison.

5. On February 26, 2026, Parks, Wellness, and Recreation Commission held a special meeting to consider a recommendation for approval of the mural design. Recommendation from the Commission will be presented to the City Council at the March 2, 2026 meeting.

ANALYSIS:

FTBMI has proposed the creation of a large-scale mural on the water tank at Rudy Ortega Sr. Park (Exhibit “A” to Attachment “A”) reflects the cultural history, landscape, and living presence of Tribe in the region. The mural is envisioned as a landscape-style artwork, depicting a timeline from ancestral presence to Rudy Ortega Sr., incorporating elements such as water, native plants, birds, butterflies, and figures facing the sun. The design emphasizes earthy tones and soft transitions intended to be visually harmonious and durable in an outdoor setting. The mural will cover approximately 2,100 square feet of the water tank surface, approximately 50 percent of the tank’s surface. Community engagement is a central component of the project, with opportunities for youth and community members to participate in painting activities and a handprint component planned for public unveiling.

Funding for the mural is provided through the Arts in California Parks program, a California State Parks initiative that supports artists, culture bearers, Native American tribes, and communities in creating public artwork in park settings. There is no cost to the City for the design, installation, or ongoing maintenance of the mural. FTBMI has committed to funding and carrying out long-term maintenance, including proper surface preparation, application of UV-protective and anti-graffiti coatings, and future upkeep as needed.

Proposed Agreement.

It is important for the City to have a mural agreement that clearly addresses long-term maintenance protocols to ensure the beautification effort is not diminished over time and does not create significant maintenance costs. Murals can fade, crack, or be damaged by weather and graffiti over time, so it is important to clearly define who is responsible for repairs and upkeep.

Under this agreement (Attachment “A”) for the mural at Rudy Ortega Sr. Park, the City allows access to the water tank for the mural, makes sure the project follows all laws, and will fully own the mural and all rights to it once completed. The City can also change or remove the mural in the future if it chooses. The Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians is responsible for funding the project, arranging insurance, overseeing installation, maintaining the mural over time, and covering any claims related to the work. The Artist is responsible for creating and completing the mural on time, making sure the artwork is original, keeping the work area safe March 2, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg 114 of 256

and clean, and following all insurance and legal requirements. The Artist may use photos of the mural for personal promotion or educational purposes with proper credit, but all commercial and reproduction rights belong to the City
BUDGET IMPACT:

There is no additional impact on the current fiscal year budget.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends the City Council approve an agreement with the FTBMI to develop and maintain a mural on the water tank located at Rudy Ortega Park and final mural design; and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to make non-substantive changes and execute the agreement and all related documents.

From: Kanika Kith, City Manager
By: Fabian Valdez, Police Chief
CJ Chiasson, Administrative Commander

Date: March 2, 2026
Subject: A Public Hearing to Consider Adopting an Ordinance Approving a Military Use Equipment Policy Governing the Use of Military Equipment, as Required by Assembly Bill 481; and Approval of the 2025 Annual Military Equipment Report RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:
a. Conduct a Public Hearing;
b. Pending public input, introduce for first reading, in title only, and waive further reading of Ordinance No. 1739 (Attachment “A”) titled, “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of San Fernando, California, adopting a Military Equipment Policy (Exhibit “A” of Attachment “A”) governing the use of military equipment pursuant to Assembly Bill 481 (AB 481)”; and c. Approve the 2025 Annual Military Equipment Report (Attachment “B”).

BACKGROUND:

1. On September 30, 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law AB 481 (Attachment “C”) relating to the use of "military equipment" by law enforcement agencies in California. AB 481 seeks to provide transparency, oversight, and an opportunity for public input on decisions regarding whether and how military equipment is funded, acquired, and used by law enforcement agencies.

2. On December 18, 2025, The Police Department’s current military equipment policy was posted on the City’s website for public comment, pursuant to AB 481, as part of the public input and transparency process, which requires posting of the agency policy for public feedback for 30 days prior to any public meeting.

3. On February 5, 2026, the Police Department hosted a community engagement forum during the Transportation and Public Safety Commission meeting. The Department presented a summary of the 2025 Annual Military Equipment Report and Policy update, followed by an open forum for public comment and questions. To ensure transparency and public participation, the presentation was announced on the City’s website and promoted through the City’s social media channels.

4. On February 12, 2026, a Notice of Public Hearing (Attachment “D”) was published in the San Fernando Sun newspaper and was posted at the front entrance of City Hall.

ANALYSIS:

Effective January 1, 2022, California’s AB 481 requires law enforcement agencies, including the San Fernando Police Department (SFPD), to ensure transparency, oversight, and accountability in the acquisition and use of designated “military equipment.” This includes tactical vehicles, specialized firearms, launchers, and less-lethal tools, regardless of whether they are of military origin. A detailed list of “military equipment” is provided in Chapter 12.8 of AB 482 (Attachment “C”). Under the law, agencies must maintain an inventory of all qualifying equipment, justify its necessity by showing that no reasonable alternatives provide similar safety benefits, confirm that its use protects public safety and civil rights, demonstrate cost-effectiveness, and verify compliance with past policies.

AB 481 also requires the City Council to approve a Military Equipment Use Policy by ordinance, which must be reviewed annually. Any new qualifying equipment requires prior Council approval before purchase or deployment. The law mandates an annual report to the City Council detailing how the equipment was used, any complaints or policy violations and corrective actions, total costs and funding sources, current inventory, and any planned acquisitions.

San Fernando Police Department Inventory
SFPD’s inventory consists of standard law enforcement tools used to manage high-risk incidents and often prevent escalation to lethal force. No new equipment is being requested. A detailed inventory is provided in the 2025 Annual Military Equipment Report (Attachment “B”).

The only significant deployment in 2025 occurred on June 9, 2025, when SFPD provided mutual aid to the Los Angeles Police Department during large-scale protests in downtown Los Angeles that escalated into riots. Officers deployed authorized less-lethal munitions in accordance with Department policy and training to restore order and protect public safety, with the intent of deescalating the situation and minimizing the risk of serious injury. The equipment deployed included:

1. Three (3) CS tear-gas Speed Heat long-range 40-millimeter munitions;

2. 24 smokeless powder 40-millimeter bean-bag munitions;

3. Two (2) CS tear-gas Ferret 40-millimeter munitions;

4. 20 direct impact 40-millimeter sponge munitions; and

5. 33 12-gauge bean bag munitions.

The total cost to replace the munitions used was approximately $2,100, and the Department does not intend to replace them until 2027.

BUDGET IMPACT:

There is no budget impact associated with receiving this annual informational report. Military equipment identified in the Policy is purchased through the Police Department’s annual operating budget as adopted by the City Council.

CONCLUSION:

It is recommended that the City Council introduce for first reading, in title only, and waive further reading of Ordinance No. 1739 (Attachment “A”) titled, “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of San Fernando, California, adopting a Military Equipment Policy (Exhibit “A” of Attachment “A”) governing the use of military equipment pursuant to Assembly Bill 481 (AB 481)”; and approve the 2025 Annual Military Equipment Report (Attachment “B”).

Assembly Bill No. 481
CHAPTER 406
An act to add Chapter 12.8 (commencing with Section 7070) to Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code, relating to military equipment. [Approved by Governor September 30, 2021. Filed with
Secretary of State September 30, 2021.]
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 481, Chiu. Law enforcement and state agencies: military equipment:
funding, acquisition, and use.

Existing law designates the Department of General Services as the agency for the State of California responsible for distribution of federal surplus personal property, excepting food commodities, and requires the department to, among other things, do all things necessary to the execution of its powers and duties as the state agency for the distribution of federal personal surplus property, excepting food commodities, in accordance with specified federal law. Existing law, the Federal Surplus Property Acquisition Law of 1945, authorizes a local agency, as defined, to acquire surplus federal property without regard to any law which requires posting of notices or advertising for bids, inviting or receiving bids, or delivery of purchases before payment, or which prevents the local agency from bidding on federal surplus property.

Existing federal law authorizes the Department of Defense to transfer surplus personal property, including arms and ammunition, to federal or state agencies for use in law enforcement activities, subject to specified conditions, at no cost to the acquiring agency.

This bill would require a law enforcement agency, defined to include specified entities, to obtain approval of the applicable governing body, by adoption of a military equipment use policy, as specified, by ordinance at a regular meeting held pursuant to specified open meeting laws, prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment, as defined. The bill would also require similar approval for the continued use of military equipment acquired prior to January 1, 2022. The bill would allow the governing body to approve the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards. The bill would require the governing body to annually review the ordinance and to either disapprove a renewal of the authorization for a type, as defined, of military equipment or amend the military equipment use policy if it determines, based on an annual military equipment report prepared by the law enforcement agency, as provided, that the military equipment does not comply with the above-described standards for approval. The bill would specify these provisions do not preclude a county or local municipality from implementing 92 STATE OF CALIFORNIA

ELECTRONIC LEGAL MATERIAL

additional requirements and standards related to the purchase, use, and reporting of military equipment by local law enforcement agencies.

This bill would also require a state agency, as defined, to create a military equipment use policy before engaging in certain activities, publish the policy on the agency’s internet website, and provide a copy of the policy to the Governor or the Governor’s designee, as specified. The bill would also require a state agency that seeks to continue use of military equipment acquired prior to January 1, 2022, to create a military equipment use policy.

This bill would also include findings that the changes proposed by this bill address a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair and, therefore, apply to all cities, including charter cities.

By adding to the duties of local officials with respect to the funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The California Constitution requires local agencies, for the purpose of ensuring public access to the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public officials and agencies, to comply with a statutory enactment that amends or enacts laws relating to public records or open meetings and contains findings demonstrating that the enactment furthers the constitutional requirements relating to this purpose.

This bill would make legislative findings to that effect.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a)  The acquisition of military equipment and its deployment in our communities adversely impacts the public’s safety and welfare, including increased risk of civilian deaths, significant risks to civil rights, civil liberties, and physical and psychological well-being, and incurment of significant financial costs. Military equipment is more frequently deployed in low-income Black and Brown communities, meaning the risks and impacts of police militarization are experienced most acutely in marginalized communities.
(b)  The public has a right to know about any funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment by state or local government officials, as well as a right to participate in any government agency’s decision to fund, acquire, or use such equipment.
(c)  Decisions regarding whether and how military equipment is funded, acquired, or used should give strong consideration to the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties, and should be based on meaningful public input.
92 Ch. 406 — 2 —
March 2, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg 159 of 256
(d)  Legally enforceable safeguards, including transparency, oversight, and accountability measures, must be in place to protect the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties before military equipment is funded, acquired, or used.
(e)  The lack of a public forum to discuss the acquisition of military equipment jeopardizes the relationship police have with the community, which can be undermined when law enforcement is seen as an occupying force rather than a public safety service.

SEC. 2. Chapter 12.8 (commencing with Section 7070) is added to Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code, to read:

(2)  No later than May 1, 2022, a law enforcement agency seeking to continue the use of any military equipment that was acquired prior to January 1, 2022, shall commence a governing body approval process in accordance with this section. If the governing body does not approve the continuing use of military equipment, including by adoption pursuant to this subdivision of a military equipment use policy submitted pursuant to subdivision (b), within 180 days of submission of the proposed military equipment use policy to the governing body, the law enforcement agency shall cease its use of 92 — 5 — Ch. 406

(b)  In seeking the approval of the governing body pursuant to subdivision (a), a law enforcement agency shall submit a proposed military equipment use policy to the governing body and make those documents available on the law enforcement agency’s internet website at least 30 days prior to any public hearing concerning the military equipment at issue. (c)  The governing body shall consider a proposed military equipment use policy as an agenda item for an open session of a regular meeting and provide for public comment in accordance with the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act (Article 9 (commencing with Section 11120) of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2) or the Ralph M.

to the military equipment use policy in a manner that will resolve the lack of compliance.
(f)  Notwithstanding subdivisions (a) to (e), inclusive, if a city contracts with another entity for law enforcement services, the city shall have the authority to adopt a military equipment use policy based on local community needs.
7072. (a)  A law enforcement agency that receives approval for a military equipment use policy pursuant to Section 7071 shall submit to the governing body an annual military equipment report for each type of military equipment approved by the governing body within one year of approval, and annually thereafter for as long as the military equipment is available for use.

(1)  A summary of how the military equipment was used and the purpose of its use.

(3)  Acquiring military equipment either permanently or temporarily, including by borrowing or leasing.
92 — 7 — Ch. 406
March 2, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg 164 of 256
(4)  Collaborating with a law enforcement agency or another state agency in the deployment or other use of military equipment within the territorial jurisdiction of the governing body.
(5)  Using any new or existing military equipment for a purpose, in a manner, or by a person not previously approved by the governing body pursuant to this chapter.
(6)  Soliciting or responding to a proposal for, or entering into an agreement with, any other person or entity to seek funds for, or to apply to receive, acquire, use, or collaborate in the use of, military equipment. (7)  Acquiring military equipment through any means not provided by this subdivision.
(b)  No later than May 1, 2022, a state agency seeking to continue the use of any military equipment that was acquired prior to January 1, 2022, shall create a military equipment use policy.

7074. The Legislature finds and declares that ensuring adequate oversight of the acquisition and use of military equipment is a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair as that term is used in Section 5 of Article XI of the California Constitution. Therefore, this chapter applies to all cities, including charter cities and shall supersede any inconsistent provisions in the charter of any city, county, or city and county. 7075. Nothing in this chapter shall preclude a county or local municipality from implementing additional requirements and standards related to the purchase, use, and reporting of military equipment by local law enforcement agencies.

SEC. 3. The Legislature finds and declares that Section 1 of this act, which adds Chapter 12.8 (commencing with Section 7070) to Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code, furthers, within the meaning of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the purposes of that constitutional section as it relates to the right of public access to the meetings of local public bodies or the writings of local public officials and local agencies. Pursuant to paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the Legislature makes the following findings:

Requiring local agencies to hold public meetings prior to the acquisition of military equipment further exposes that activity to public scrutiny and enhances public access to information concerning the conduct of the people’s business.

SEC. 4. No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school district under this act would 92 Ch. 406 — 8 —
March 2, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg 165 of 256
result from a legislative mandate that is within the scope of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution.

AGENDA REPORT
ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT 117 MACNEIL STREET, SAN FERNANDO, CA 91340 (818) 898-1202 WWW.SANFERNANDO.GOV REVIEW: ☒ City Clerk ☒ Director of Admin. Services ☒ City Manager To: Mayor Joel Fajardo and Councilmembers
From: Kanika Kith, City Manager
By: Julio Salcedo, Director of Recreation and Community Services Date: March 2, 2026
Subject: Receive and File an Update Regarding the Development of an All-Cities Vigil to Honor Lives Lost in Federal Immigration Enforcement Incidents RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:
a. Receive and file an update regarding the development of an All-Cities Vigil to Honor Lives Lost in Federal Immigration Enforcement Incidents; and
b. Provide direction on coordinating with contacted organizations or have City organize the Vigil independently and sending invitations to participating groups.

BACKGROUND:

1. On February 2, 2026, the City Council directed staff to search for a community-based agency that would want to take the lead in hosting an All-Cities Candlelight Vigil to honor lives lost in Federal Immigration Enforcement incidents, in collaboration with the City.

2. On February 17, 2026, the City Council directed staff to engage with nonprofit organizations that primarily provide immigration assistance, reach out to additional organizations as identified by Councilmembers for potential collaboration, and return with a proposal and cost estimate for the City to independently host the event as an alternative option.

ANALYSIS:

Candlelight vigils provide an opportunity for community members to gather in a peaceful and respectful setting to remember those who have passed, support one another, and promote community unity.
