Pending public testimony, adopt Resolution No. 8467 (Attachment “A”) approving the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Budget, subject to such modifications or amendments as may be stated by the City Council in its motion to approve the Resolution.

BACKGROUND:

1. On March 2, 2026, the City Council received and filed the FY 2025-2026 Mid-Year Budget update and FY 2026-2027 Budget Outlook. This marked the kick-off of the FY 2026-2027 Budget Season.

2. On March 23, 2026, the City Council held a Special Study Session to develop the City’s five-year Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2027-2031.

3. Throughout April 2026, the City Manager and Director of Administrative Services met with each Department to develop the FY 2026-2027 City Manager’s Proposed Budget, which includes revenues and expenditures for the General Fund, Enterprise Funds, and all Special Revenue Funds.

4. On May 4, 2026, the FY 2026-2027 Proposed Budget was made available to the City Council and posted to the City’s website (www.sanfernando.gov/budget) June 15, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 367 of 576
A Public Hearing to Consider Adopting a Resolution Approving the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Annual Budget

5. Budget Study Sessions occurred with presentations on May 18, 2026 (Budget Overview, City Manager’s Office, and Administrative Services Department); May 26, 2026 (City Clerk, Community Development and Recreation & Community Services); June 8, 2026 (Public Works); and June 15, 2026 (Police Department).

ANALYSIS:

The adoption of the City's annual budget is one of the most important responsibilities of the City Council. The budget serves as the City's financial plan for the upcoming fiscal year, allocating resources to maintain essential public services, fund community priorities, and support the City's long-term goals. Adoption of the budget ensures fiscal accountability, transparency, and the continued delivery of programs and services that benefit residents, businesses, and visitors.

In accordance with Section 2-121(7) of the City of San Fernando Municipal Code, the City Manager is responsible for preparing and submitting the proposed annual budget and salary plan to the City Council for review and approval. The City’s fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30, as established by Sections 2-646 through 2-649 of the Municipal Code. Because the annual budget serves as the City’s financial plan and spending authority for the upcoming fiscal year, it must be adopted prior to the start of the new fiscal year on July 1 to ensure the uninterrupted funding of City operations, programs, services, and capital projects. Additionally, Section 2-647 requires that the City Council conduct a public hearing before adopting the budget.

Budget Overview.

The theme of the FY 2026-2027 City Manager’s Proposed Budget is “Maintaining Core Services During Challenging Economic Conditions.” The City is entering this fiscal year amid economic volatility, with inflation, slowing revenue growth, and fiscal pressures at all levels of government.

Like many jurisdictions across California, cities are facing difficult fiscal decisions due to rising costs and slowing revenue growth. Several municipalities have been forced to implement staffing furloughs, hiring freezes, or the postponement of cost-of-living adjustments and salary increases to balance their budgets. The City of San Fernando remains in a stronger position, and at this time, is not proposing staffing furloughs or freezing salary increases. However, these regional actions highlight the broader fiscal environment and reinforce the need for continued prudence and disciplined financial management to ensure the City’s long-term stability.

The Proposed Budget takes a conservative approach, projecting flat revenue growth and limiting ongoing expenditure increases, while prioritizing the maintenance of essential City operations and ensuring that San Fernando remains safe and beautiful. Despite significant external cost pressures, the Proposed Budget maintains core service levels and prioritizes fiscal stability by aligning staff capacity with essential service delivery.

In accordance with the City’s Budget Policy, the Proposed General Fund Budget represents a balanced budget. In fact, with $29,980,451 in projected revenues and $29,904,851 in proposed expenditures, there is a nominal budget surplus of $75,600.

June 15, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 368 of 576
A Public Hearing to Consider Adopting a Resolution Approving the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Annual Budget

In total, Departments submitted $3,656,620 in enhancement requests across all operating funds.

The Proposed Budget recommends $371,600 in one-time enhancements. Of this amount, the General Fund net total is $75,600; and $296,000 is funded by non-General Fund sources. The recommended enhancements are limited to those necessary for operational stability, offset by revenues, or generate additional revenue. The recommended resources included in the FY 2026-2027 Budget address one (1) or more of the following parameters:

1. Maintaining core services such as public safety, infrastructure, and cleanliness.

2. Focusing staff resources on essential operations and reducing non-critical impacts.

3. Strengthening long-term fiscal stability amid ongoing economic uncertainty.

More detailed information on enhancements for approval is included as Attachment “B”.

Capital Improvements.

The FY 2026-2027 budget includes funding primarily for street resurfacing, parking meter replacements, citywide signage updates, LED lighting upgrades, sewer system improvements and water system improvements. An emphasis will be to evaluate and complete existing projects utilizing approved funding to be carried forward from prior fiscal years. Funding for capital improvements is provided primarily through Special Revenue, Grant, Capital Funds, and Enterprise Funds:
• $1.5 million for Road Infrastructure Improvements
• $1.0 million for Water System Improvements
• $0.1 million for Sewer System Improvements
More detailed information regarding the FY 2026-2027 Proposed Capital Improvement Program may be found in Section VI. “Capital Improvement Projects” of proposed budget document.

Work Plan Discussions.

Through the FY 2026-2027 Budget Study Sessions, the City Council was able to provide significant feedback regarding proposed departmental objectives. Staff tracked City Council comments and feedback along with accompanying responses. To support clarity and alignment on the final Fiscal Year 2026–2027 Work Plans and related resource allocations, staff recommends that the City Council review and provide direction on Recreation & Community Services programming and special events, to be discussed during Budget Study Session #4 on June 15, 2026. Staff is seeking City Council guidance regarding the continuation, modification or establishment of new programs and special events to include in the upcoming year’s schedule.

A Public Hearing to Consider Adopting a Resolution Approving the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Annual Budget

Budget Adoption Resolution.

The Budget Resolution (Attachment “A”) includes adjustments to the proposed budget, which include proposed enhancements for City Council authorization. The resolution further authorizes staff to execute routine budget-related items without requiring additional City Council action, including the authority to:
• Update the Department work programs based on direction received from City Council at the Budget Study Session.
• Carry-over and re-budget unspent Community Investments Funds from prior years. • Carry-over and re-budget encumbered operational accounts and unexpended account balances for Capital Improvement Projects from FY 2025-2026 to FY 2026-2027 with the approval of the City Manager.
• Transfer appropriations within departmental budgets (e.g., from one division to another within the same department) with the approval of the City Manager, provided it does not result in a net increase to the department’s total appropriation. • Increase revenue and expenditure appropriations provided the adjustment to revenues equals or exceeds the adjustment to expenditures. These types of adjustments typically occur during the year for items such as grants, services that are fully reimbursed by applicants, and tax audits that are conducted on a contingency basis. • Open Blanket Purchase Orders for the purchase of routine goods and services provided the cost does not exceed the budget adopted by City Council.

BUDGET IMPACT:

The total Proposed Budget for all funds is approximately $58.7 million. The Proposed General Fund budget is $29.9 million (1% decrease from FY 2025-2026). In accordance with the City’s Budget Policy, the FY 2026-2027 Proposed General Fund Budget represents a balanced budget, with General Fund revenues of $30.0 million, expenditures of $29.9 million and proposed enhancements of $75,600 which have been incorporated in Attachment “A”.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends that the City Council, conduct a Public Hearing, and pending public testimony, adopt Resolution No. 8467 (Attachment “A”) approving the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Budget, subject to such modifications or amendments as may be stated by the City Council in its motion to approve the Resolution.

Construction of the Pacoima Wash Bikeway Project will connect students and San Fernando residents to a new non-motorized trail, offering opportunities for recreation and increased bike and pedestrian commuting options. The Pacoima Wash Bikeway Project will also serve to connect to a forthcoming network of safe bicycling options along local streets as noted in the City’s recent Safe and Active Streets Plan, encouraging connectivity to a wider bike and pedestrian network in neighboring communities within the City of Los Angeles. Similar to the development of the Los Angeles River Bike Path, the Pacoima Wash Bikeway will create a linear green space that beautifies an underutilized area of the City.

Schedule: Construction is scheduled to be 100 percent complete by July 2026.

AGENDA REPORT
CITY CLERK DEPARTMENT 117 MACNEIL ST, SAN FERNANDO, CA 91340 (818) 898-1204 WWW.SANFERNANDO.GOV REVIEW: ☒ City Clerk ☒ Director of Admin. Services ☒ City Manager To: Mayor Joel Fajardo and Councilmembers
From: Kanika Kith, City Manager
By: Ron Garcia, Director of Community Development
Jose Mendivil, Planning Manager

Date: June 15, 2026
Subject: Discussion and Consideration to Approve a Second Reading to Adopt Ordinance No. 1742 that Approves a Proposed Zoning Code Update, Subdivision Code Update, Specific Plan-5 Update, Objective Design Standards, and Zoning Map Update (Housing Implementation Plan Project or HIP Project) RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council approve for second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1742 (Attachment “A”) that was introduced for first reading at the City Council meeting of May 18, 2026, in title only, and waive all further readings titled, “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of San Fernando, California, Approving a Zoning Code Update, Subdivision Code Update, Specific Plan-5 Update, Objective Design Standards, and Zoning Map Update; these actions collectively referred to as the Housing Implementation Plan Project or “HIP Project” in its entirety.

BACKGROUND:

1. On June 6, 2022, the City Council adopted the 6th Cycle 2021–2029 Housing Element, Safety Element Update, and Mitigated Negative Declaration.

2. On October 21, 2024, the City Council accepted Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) 2.0 funding and entered into an Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) (Contract No. 2306) to implement Housing Element programs related to adaptive reuse, housing streamlining, and State law compliance.

3. On March 3, 2025, the City Council approved Contract No. 2343 with Rincon Consultants to implement REAP 2.0 efforts, including Zoning Code updates, a historic resources survey, and development of objective design standards.

4. On May 5, 2025, the City Council approved a Community Outreach and Engagement Plan for the REAP 2.0 Grant Program.

Discussion and Consideration to Approve a Second Reading to adopt Ordinance No. 1742 that Approves a Proposed Zoning Code Update, Subdivision Code Update, Specific Plan-5 Update, Objective Design Standards, and Zoning Map Update (Housing Implementation Plan Project or HIP Project)

5. On August 12 2025, the Planning and Preservation Commission (Commission) received a presentation on the Housing Element Implementation Program and provided feedback on the importance of preserving San Fernando’s community character while managing density, family-friendly spaces, and walkable land uses. The Commissioners supported open space alongside clearer planning processes, and stronger public outreach.

6. On September 15, 2025, the City Council received a presentation on the Housing Element Implementation Program and provided feedback emphasizing low-density development, neighborhood-serving retail along Maclay Avenue, architectural variety, compliance with minimum state density bonus requirements, clear planning guidance, and adequate open space, including pet-friendly areas.

7. On February 9, 2026, the Commission received a presentation on draft Housing Element Implementation Program documents and provided feedback focused on implementation details, including parking reductions, zoning changes, transit-related development, and the application of state housing laws to ensure clarity, compliance, and transparency.

8. On February 17, 2026, the City Council received a presentation on draft Housing Element Implementation Program documents and provided feedback on concerns about Senate Bill (SB) 79’s impacts, parking standards, trip generation, and rail expansion. The City Council also asked clarifying questions regarding the updated parking standards and how transit plans and state mandates affect local decisions.

9. On April 13, 2026, the Commission held a public hearing on the final draft Housing Implementation Plan Project or HIP Project documents prior to City Council consideration.

The Commission voted unanimously to recommend the City Council approve the adoption of the updates as presented by city staff.

10. On May 18, 2026, the City Council held a public hearing on the final draft HIP Project documents prior to City Council consideration. The City Council approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 1742 by a vote of 4 to 1. The City Council actions included a resolution approving a General Plan Amendment, adoption of an addendum to a previously approved Initial Study–Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS-MND), and Introduction of Ordinance No. 1742 approving the HIP Project.

ANALYSIS:

The Zoning Code Update (Exhibit “A” to Attachment “A”) regulates land use and development standards, including permitted uses, building height, setbacks, parking, and site design. The proposed update includes over 100 amendments to modernize standards, improve clarity, and ensure consistency with State housing and land use laws. During the City Council meeting of May 18, 2026, Vice Mayor Garcia expressed concerns regarding amendments making compact parking spaces smaller.

Discussion and Consideration to Approve a Second Reading to adopt Ordinance No. 1742 that Approves a Proposed Zoning Code Update, Subdivision Code Update, Specific Plan-5 Update, Objective Design Standards, and Zoning Map Update (Housing Implementation Plan Project or HIP Project)

For clarification purposes, the current Zoning Code requires compact parking spaces to measure a minimum of eight (8) feet in width and 16 feet in length. Up to 30 percent of the total required commercial parking spaces may be designated as compact, provided they are clearly marked.

The proposed update revises the minimum length to 15 feet to align more closely with standards in other jurisdictions (e.g., Alhambra, Culver City, Garden Grove, San Gabriel) while maintaining the existing width of eight (8) feet and maximum percentage of the total required parking at 30 percent.

City staff will review all parking plans during the Site Plan Review process to ensure compact spaces are appropriately distributed throughout parking areas.

BUDGET IMPACT:

There is no additional funding impacts associated with this update, as the Comprehensive Housing Element Implementation Program is funded by a $1,125,000 SCAG REAP 2.0 Grant Program through June 30, 2026.

There is a budget impact of approximately $9,100 to codify the changes to the Municipal Code to bring the code up to date. The Proposed Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Budget includes a requested enhancement to fund the required municipal code codification services.

CONCLUSION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 1742 titled, ““An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of San Fernando, California, Approving a Zoning Code Update, Subdivision Code Update, Specific Plan-5 Update, Objective Design Standards, and Zoning Map Update; these actions collectively referred to as the Housing Implementation Plan Project or “HIP Project” in its entirety.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN FERNANDO CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Recitals. The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. Zoning Code Text Amendment Findings. Pursuant to San Fernando City Municipal Code, Chapter 106. Article V. Division 10 the following findings for adoption of the proposed Zoning Code Amendment can be made in a positive manner as follows:
a. The proposed amendment is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs of the city’s general plans.

The amendment modernizes and clarifies existing zoning regulations to ensure internal consistency within the Zoning Code and alignment with the City’s adopted General Plan. The proposed text amendments support the General Plan’s goals related to orderly growth, efficient land use regulation, housing availability, and regulatory clarity. By updating terminology, correcting inconsistencies, and incorporating current State-mandated requirements, the amendment strengthens the City’s regulatory framework and enhances the City’s ability to effectively implement General Plan policies. The proposed changes do not alter land use designations or intensities, but rather provide clearer standards and procedures to support predictable and consistent land use decision-making.

June 15, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 435 of 576
ORD. NO. 1742
3 b. The adoption of the proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare.

The proposed amendment consists of policy-level and text-based revisions that do not authorize, approve, or facilitate any specific development project. As such, the amendment would not result in direct physical changes to the environment or adversely affect surrounding properties or neighborhoods. Instead, the amendment enhances the clarity and usability of the Zoning Code, reducing ambiguity and the potential for inconsistent interpretation, which in turn promotes orderly development and effective code administration.

Additionally, the amendment ensures continued compliance with applicable State housing and land use laws, thereby preserving the City’s eligibility for State and federal housing-related funding programs and supporting the City’s ability to plan for and accommodate existing and future housing needs. By maintaining a clear, up-to-date, and legally compliant Zoning Code, the amendment serves the broader public interest and contributes to the protection of public health, safety, and welfare.

SECTION 3. Subdivision Code Amendment Findings. The Subdivision Code was amended to incorporate provisions related to street dedication improvements and common area and off-site improvement bonds that were previously contained in the Zoning Code. These provisions were relocated to the Subdivision Code because they more appropriately pertain to subdivision regulations rather than zoning requirements. This amendment improves clarity SECTION 4. Specific Plan-5 Amendment Findings. Pursuant to San Fernando City Municipal Code, Chapter 106. Article V. Division 10 the following findings for adoption of the proposed Zoning Code Amendment can be made in a positive manner as follows:
a. The proposed amendment is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs of the city’s general plans.

The San Fernando Corridors Specific Plan functions as an implementing document of the General Plan for a defined geographic area encompassing Maclay Avenue, the Downtown area, 1st Street, San Fernando Road, and Truman Street. The proposed amendments further General Plan objectives related to housing production, economic vitality, infill development, and efficient use of existing infrastructure by expanding opportunities for residential development and supporting a mix of land uses. The amendments do not alter the fundamental vision or land use framework of the General Plan, but instead refine development standards and permitted uses to better implement adopted policies.
b. The adoption of the proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare.

The amendment consists of policy level and regulatory updates and does not approve or authorize any specific development project. As such, it does not result in immediate physical impacts. Instead, it strengthens the City’s regulatory framework, June 15, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 436 of 576
ORD. NO. 1742
4 supports orderly development, and advances long term community planning objectives. By ensuring consistency with adopted plans and State law, the amendment serves the public interest and contributes to the overall health, safety, and welfare of the community.

SECTION 5. Objective Design Standards Findings. The Objective Design Standards (ODS) were developed through a nearly six-month collaborative process involving City staff, consultants, and guidance from the Planning Commission and City Council. Extensive research was conducted on existing City documents, including Specific Plan 5, the Municipal Code, and applicable state laws, to ensure a high-quality and compliant framework. The resulting city-wide Residential and Mixed-Use Objective Design Standards establish clear requirements for site design, building design, landscaping, and architecture to promote neighborhood character while streamlining development in accordance with state law. Architectural styles addressed in the standards include Spanish Colonial Revival, Ranch, Craftsman, Contemporary, Tudor Revival, and Mission Revival.

SECTION 6. Zoning Map Amendment Findings. Pursuant to San Fernando Municipal City, Code Chapter 106. Article V. Division 10 the following findings for adoption of the proposed Zoning Code Amendment can be made in a positive manner as follows:
a. The proposed amendment is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs of the city’s general plans.

The Zoning Map update reflects changes made to the Zoning Ordinance through the removal of the Mixed‑Use Overlay and the establishment of two new mixed‑use zoning districts, CMU‑1 and CMU‑2, which correspond to the City’s former C‑1 and C‑2 commercial designations. While the regulations and development standards applicable to these areas remain substantively unchanged, the reorganization clarifies zoning structure and aligns mapped designations with adopted code provisions. By incorporating mixed‑use development standards directly into base zoning districts rather than relying on overlay zones, the amendments reduce the City’s exposure to legal challenges, including those associated with the “Builder’s Remedy” under State housing law. Concurrent amendments to the General Plan Land Use Element to incorporate the CMU‑1 and CMU‑2 designations ensure internal consistency across all land use planning documents.
b. The adoption of the proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare.

The amendments are regulatory and organizational in nature and do not authorize or approve any specific development project. Because development standards and regulations remain unchanged, the amendments do not result in new or increased physical impacts. Instead, they improve legal certainty, promote orderly development, and ensure compliance with State law, all of which serve the public interest and contribute to the long‑term health, safety, and welfare of the community.

Date: June 15, 2026
Subject: Discussion and Consideration to Approve Proposed Program Format and Date for the Second San Fernando Immigration Forum
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:
a. Discuss the proposed meeting format and date for the second San Fernando immigration forum; and
b. Provide direction on the proposed date, event format, and potential partners for event administration.

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 November 10, 2025, the City Council directed staff to organize a Community Forum focusing on immigration, homelessness, mental health, and safety.

3. On January 28, 2026, a Community Forum was held at Recreation Park addressing the impacts of immigration enforcement Proposition 36, homelessness, and mental health issues affecting the region. The event included a moderator and panel discussion with representatives from regional police departments, legal organizations, non-profits, and County agencies.

Discussion and Consideration to Approve Proposed Program Format and Date for the Second San Fernando Immigration Forum

4. On March 2, 2026, the City Council directed staff to organize a second Community Immigration Forum and to return at a later date with proposed event details.

ANALYSIS:

The City recognizes the importance of fostering an inclusive, resilient, and equitable community where all residents, regardless of immigration status or socioeconomic background, have the opportunity to access information, resources, and support. In recent months, immigration-related concerns have continued to affect many households throughout the region, underscoring the need for trusted spaces where residents can receive accurate information, ask questions, and connect directly with organizations equipped to provide assistance.

In January 2026, the City hosted its first Immigration Forum, which addressed the impacts of immigration enforcement, Proposition 36, homelessness, and mental health issues affecting the region. The event followed a panel discussion format with law enforcement representatives, government agencies, and community-based organizations, followed by a question-and-answer session. The event was moderated by former City of Pasadena Chief of Police John Perez.

Building upon the first forum, staff is proposing a second event focused specifically on immigration-related topics and resources. While the prior event provided information through the panel discussion format, staff identified opportunities to create a more interactive and community-centered experience that encourages dialogue, allows attendees to share concerns, and provides additional opportunities for one-on-one engagement with community resource providers.

The proposed Resource Night: Information & Conversation on Immigration event is intended to build upon prior community engagement efforts by creating a forum that is informative, community-centered, and responsive to resident needs. Rather than relying solely on a traditional presentation-style meeting, the proposed format is designed to encourage dialogue, provide a more comfortable setting for residents to voice concerns, and create direct pathways to available services and support.

Event Date and Location.

Staff is proposing to host the event on August 31, 2026 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Las Palmas Park Gymnasium.

Event Format.

Staff is proposing a structured format that includes welcome remarks, small group discussions, a moderated panel, and a resource connection period. This approach is intended to create a more accessible environment for residents to share concerns and ask questions, while also ensuring June 15, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 444 of 576
Discussion and Consideration to Approve Proposed Program Format and Date for the Second San Fernando Immigration Forum

that key information is communicated to the broader audience. To ensure accessibility, interpretation service will also be provided.

The small group discussion component would allow residents to engage in guided conversations with City staff and community resource representatives. Questions and themes identified during these discussions would inform the moderated panel, where participating organizations can provide responses and share information. The event would conclude with an opportunity for attendees to connect directly with organizations for one-on-one support and resources.

1. Bet Tzedek - Free comprehensive legal services

2. Central American Resource Center (CARECEN) - Immigration legal services

3. Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) – Immigration legal services

4. Congressional Field Representative – Federal representative for the City

5. Department of Mental Health (DMH) – Mental health supports

6. El Centro de Amistad – Therapy and mental health supports

7. El Nido Family Centers – Trauma-informed social services

8. Home Again Los Angeles – Housing and financial assistance programs

13. Maravilla Foundation – Support for Latino families

14. Meet Each Need with Dignity (MEND) – Food security, clothing, other services

15. Mexican American Bar Association – Legal support for immigrants If directed to proceed, event planning and implementation would primarily involve the City Manager’s Office. Event planning, coordination, marketing, and day-of support are estimated to take 30 hours of staff time, costing approximately $5,000. The Recreation and Community Services Department would also help with facility coordination, event setup, and breakdown, utilizing eight (8) hours of staff time at an approximate cost of $250. Additional event costs include interpretation services (up to $800), refreshments (up to $200 for guest speakers and organization representatives), and event supplies (up to $100). Total cost would be $6,850.

Staff is requesting City Council direction on the preferred event date, proposed event format, and selection of participating community resource partners.

BUDGET IMPACT:

There is no direct budget impact associated with providing direction on the proposed event format and date. The total estimated budget to proceed with the City hosting this event, as presented is $6,850, which will be absorbed by existing Fiscal Year 2026-27 City Manager’s Office budget as an established work plan item.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends that the City Council provide direction on the proposed date, event format, and participating community resource partners.

Discussion and Consideration to Adopt a Resolution Approving Updates to the City Council Procedural Manual, Including Related Procedures and Administrative Provisions

On October 20, 2025, the City Council directed staff to bring back a redlined version of Councilmember Fajardo’s proposed edits to the November 17, 2025 City Council meeting for consideration. At the November 17, 2025 meeting, the City Council directed staff to provide, in advance, a copy of the redline edits for review prior to bringing the item back to the January 20, 2026 City Council meeting in order to allow Councilmembers with additional time to review the proposed changes.

As of January 15, 2026, the draft of the redline edits had not yet been shared with the City Council in advance of the January 20, 2026 staff report, as it was still undergoing additional review and finalization of proposed edits by Mayor Fajardo and the City Attorney.

On March 25, 2026, the City Council received the finalized redlined updates to the City Council Procedural Manual for review in advance of this meeting. The proposed amendments update the City Council Procedural Manual to reflect recent changes to the Brown Act, enhance public accessibility and language access, refine procedures governing Councilmember interactions with the City Attorney and City staff, clarify processes related to Council vacancies, agenda item requests, and Council reorganization, and establish clearer guidelines for the reconsideration or rescission of prior City Council actions.

On May 12, 2026, the City Council reviewed the proposed amendments, accepted the edits with minor revisions to certain sections, and requested additional revisions. The revised Procedural Manual reflecting the accepted edits in black text is included as Attachment “A.” A summary of the accepted edits and the additional revisions requested by the City Council is included as Attachment “B.” Staff was directed to return to the City Council with an updated Procedural Manual displaying the additional proposed revisions in blue text for Council consideration. Staff is currently preparing those revisions and will return with the updated Procedural Manual for City Council review at the June 15, 2026.

On June 4, 2026, Councilmember Mendoza provided suggested language on procedures outlining Councilmember Safety, Access, and Use of City Facilities Policy (Attachment “C”).

On June 8, 2026, Mayor Fajardo provided additional suggested language to include as part of Section 6 for City Council Motion Procedures and a Section on Communication with Employees and Employee Organizations (Attachment “D”).

Staff recommends that the City Council review all suggested revisions contained in Attachments “B”,“C” and “D”. The Procedural Manual continues to be a working document and is subject to further modification based on policy direction provided by the City Council. Following City Council review and direction this evening, staff will update the Procedural Manual as directed. The revisions will be incorporated into the version of the Procedural Manual attached to the Resolution adopting the updated Procedural Manual.

Procedural Manual – City Council of the City of San Fernando 1

PREAMBLE
These rules are enacted pursuant to Government Code Section 36813 to provide decorum and order at City Council meetings and to promote the efficient conduct of those meetings. The rules govern the procedures of the City Council itself and the conduct of individual Councilmembers.

It is also intended that the rules govern the conduct of City staff and members of the public who attend City Council meetings. In the event of a conflict between these rules of procedures and any provision of State or Federal law, including but not limited to the Ralph M. Brown Act codified at Section 54950 et seq. of the California Government Code (the “Brown Act”), the State or Federal law controls.

Because circumstances may differ from one City Council meeting to the next, these rules are intended as guidelines and are not inflexible rules. Accordingly, they may be waived at any meeting, by Motion, in accordance with Robert’s Rules of Order. Notwithstanding anything in this manual to the contrary, the failure of the City Council to strictly follow any rule(s) or procedure(s) set forth in this manual shall not operate to invalidate any action taken by the City Council, provided such action is otherwise made in compliance with applicable State or federal law and the San Fernando Municipal Code. Furthermore, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the procedures of this Manual and applicable State or federal law procedures or procedures set forth in the San Fernando Municipal Code, the procedures of the latter shall govern and control.

1. CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS

1.1 REGULAR MEETINGS

4.4 DECORUM AND ORDER – PUBLIC
The City Council, elected by the public, must be free to discuss and address issues confronting the City in an orderly environment. Although Government Code Section 54954.3(c), prohibits the City Council from prohibiting public criticism of the policies, procedures, programs or services of the City, or of the acts or omissions of the City Council, members of the public may not engage in behavior that is disruptive to the orderly conduct of the proceedings, including, but not limited to the following: , conduct that:
i. Prevents other members of the public or the City Council from being heard when it is their turn to speak;
ii. Prevents members of the audience from hearing or seeing the proceedings; and/or

4.6 CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
a. State law prohibits Councilmembers from participating in certain governmental decisions that may come before the City Council when the governmental decision can have a material and reasonably foreseeable effect (good or bad) on an a financial interest of the Councilmember and the effect is unique from the effect the decision will have on the public generally (California Political Reform Act, Government Code Section 81000 et seq. and See also the Common Law Conflict of Interest Doctrine which can have broader application). In other instances, a Councilmember’s interest in a contract that may come before City decision-makers for approval may prevent City decision makers from approving the contract at all, even if the interested Councilmember agrees to recuse himself/herself from voting on the contract (Government Code Section 1090). State law also prohibits Councilmembers from voting on certain matters before the City Council that affect the interests of campaign contributors (Government Code Section 84308). The preceding summary of laws is not exhaustive and the fact that an applicable law is not expressly referenced in these policies does relieve a Councilmember from complying with such laws.
b. A conflicted Councilmember is not only prohibited from voting on the matter for which he/she has a conflict, the Councilmember must also refrain from participating in any pre-decisional planning, discussion, deliberation and/or strategizing on the matter with City staff and his/her City Council colleagues and refrain from efforts to influence City Council colleagues and others participating in the decision-making process.
c. As the analysis of conflicts laws as applied to individual circumstances can be complex, nuanced and often fact-specific, Councilmembers are strongly encouraged to be alert to potential conflicts and consult with the City Attorney, the Fair Political Practices Commission or their own legal counsel whenever there is a concern about a conflict and well in advance of any City Council consideration of the matter. Failure to comply with State laws can June 15, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 473 of 576
Procedural Manual – City Council of the City of San Fernando 16 expose a Councilmember to significant penalties and other legal liabilities, including criminal liability.
d. If a Councilmember has a disqualifying conflict of interest, he/she must recuse himself/herself from participating in the matter. In the context of a City Council meeting this means that the Councilmember must state the nature of the conflict on the record and step down from the dais and leave the room.

Such members shall not count toward achieving a quorum while the matter is discussed. It is also noted that abstention from a matter is not the same as recusal because in abstaining the Councilmember remains on the dais, is counted toward the quorum and is therefore deemed to be participating in the making of the decision., except in the case of matters to be approved on the Consent agenda. A disqualified Councilmember may remain on the dais if the matter appears on the Consent Calendar and is not pulled for separate discussion. However, prior to the vote on the Consent Calendar, the Councilmember must still identify the matter for which he/she has a disqualifying conflict, state the nature of the conflict and announce to the Presiding Officer that as to that matter he/she will be recused from the vote.

For purposes of illustration, a disqualified Councilmember may say the following: “Mayor, before we take a vote on the Consent Calendar, let the record reflect that I will be recused as to Agenda item 3 because rental property I own is adjacent to the project.” As to the Consent Calendar matter that the Councilmember is recused from, the minutes shall record the vote on the matter separately and will not include the disqualified member as part of the vote.
e. If a disqualified Councilmember has a “personal interest” in the agenda item, as defined in FPPC Regulation 18704(d)(2) and wishes to speak or appear as a member of the general public, the Councilmember, after stating the nature of the conflict and leaving the dais may address the City Council from the public commentors’’ podium. Councilmembers who avail themselves of this exception do so at their own risk insofar as certain statements or comments they make, may be deemed to violate conflict of interest laws by enforcement authorities which may subject the Councilmember to legal liability and which could result in the invalidation of any action taken by the City Council on the matter.

It is also noted that abstention from a matter is not the same as recusal because in abstaining the Councilmember remains on the dais, is counted toward the quorum and is therefore deemed to be participating in the making of the decision.

12.6 QUORUM
Only one member of a committee must be present in order to establish a quorum.

The scheduling of meetings so as to facilitate the participation of both members of a two-person committee is strongly encouraged.

The agendas for City Council meetings shall include a section entitled Standing Committee Updates. The Committee Chair is responsible for making a brief report on the activities of the committee to the full City Council.

13. PROCEDURE FOR FILLING CITY COUNCIL VACANCIES

13.1 If a vacancy occurs to any City Council seat, the vacancy may be filled by appointment or by special election in compliance with Government Code Section 36512(b).

As required under the PRA, local elected officials must annually disclose their economic interests through a form referred to as the Form 700 – Statement of Economic Interests (the Form 700).

The Form 700 is filed annually with the City Clerk. Any member of the public is permitted to inspect and copy a Form 700 during normal business hours.

Members of the City Council and the Planning and Preservation Commission shall be mindful of PRA requirements to complete an annual Form 700 and to complete the same upon assuming and departing from public office also as required under the PRA.

17.1 CONSULTATION WITH CITY ATTORNEY
a. Any Councilmember should be able to contact and consult with the City Attorney to discuss any matter within the subject matter jurisdiction of the City, and for general information regarding conflict of interest issues, FPPC filing requirements, ethics-related issues and the like, without such information having to be shared with other Councilmembers, unless the City Attorney is ethically required to disclose such information to the full City Council as a whole pursuant to applicable State Bare Rules or other applicable laws. Councilmembers and staff may also consult with the City Attorney to obtain non-confidential information or clarification on matters of potential interest to the Councilmember without such inquiry or information having to be shared with the full City Council, unless the City Attorney is ethically required to disclose such information to the full City Council. Furthermore, the City Attorney, in his/her discretion and professional judgement, may also share such information with the full City Council if it relates to or otherwise informs:
i. A matter that is currently being considered by the City Council or that is agendized for consideration at an upcoming meeting of the City Council; or
ii. A topical and/or hotly contested matter of concern or interest to all Councilmembers or to the larger San Fernando community. The City Attorney shall notify a Councilmember in advance if he/she believes such information should be shared with all members of the City Council.

Work to be performed by the City Attorney which is requested by an individual Councilmember requiring substantial research or activity (more than five (5) hours) should be assigned based on approval by the City Manager.

Procedural Manual – City Council of the City of San Fernando 37 b. Councilmember-Initiated Contacts. Each Councilmember shall comply with the provisions of Section 2-123 (Relations with council) of the San Fernando Municipal Code (hereinafter, "Section 2-123") with respect to interactions between the Councilmember and subordinate employees of the City Manager.

Section 2-123 provides in relevant part:

The City Council and its members shall deal with the administrative services of the city only through the City Manager, except for the purpose of inquiry, and neither the City Council nor any member of the City Council shall give orders to any subordinates of the City Manager. For purposes hereof, "inquiry" means any and all communications short of giving orders, directions, or instructions to any member of the administrative staff. Such staff members shall provide all information reasonably requested by any councilmember. The City Manager shall take orders and instructions from the City Council only when sitting in a duly convened meeting of the city council and no individual councilmember shall give any orders or instructions to the city manager….” c. Employee-Initiated Contacts. When an employee is required to make contact with a Councilmember in the course of the employee’s performance of his/her official job duties, a Councilmember may participate in such employeeinitiated contact, provided the employee was authorized to initiate such contact by his or her department head or the City Manager. All requests by employees other than department heads to speak to a Councilmember regarding City related business shall be submitted to their department head or the City Manager for consideration. The request will include the subject matter and the reason necessitating the contact. Employees are not to contact Councilmembers directly regarding non-City business on City time; failure to comply with this directive may result in disciplinary action.

During such unsolicited communications or contacts, Councilmembers shall refrain from providing any promises or assurances as to the outcome of any negotiations and shall promptly disclose any information or documentation provided to the Councilmember by the bargaining unit representative that is pertinent to the negotiations to the City Manager so that it may be shared with, and vetted by, the full membership of the City Council, the City Manager and the City’s designated labor negotiator(s).

The City anticipates issuing an RFP in July 2026, to secure continued solid waste services to start at the conclusion of the current franchise agreement with Republic. To assist the City in the preparation of the future RFP for solid waste services and the selection of a contracted or franchised waste hauler, it is best practice to retain professional services by a consultant with both expert knowledge of the refuse industry and how to manage complex negotiations. At the April 6, 2026, regular meeting, the City Council approved a contract with R3 to provide consulting services and also directed staff to seek a short-term contract extension with Republic to provide ample time for R3 to complete a comprehensive RFP process.

Republic’s current agreement is set to expire on February 14, 2027. Upon consultation with R3, and per City Council direction, staff contacted Republic to discuss the terms of a potential six (6) month contract extension. The goal of this extension was to create an additional time buffer to administer the future Solid Waste Services RFP in a manner that would allow for comprehensive evaluation, negotiation with the winning bidder, and a smooth transition period in the instance that a new waste hauler is selected.

After negotiation with Republic, they agreed to move forward by accepting a standard Consumer Price Index (CPI) rate adjustment for six (6) months, which aligns with the existing contract extension rate outlined in the current agreement. Two (2) additional considerations were required by Republic to agree to this extension rate, including:
• That the fleet age metric (requires Republic to invest in new vehicles beyond a specific lifespan) shall not be used or applied during the six-month extension period beginning February 14, 2027, through August 13, 2027; and
• That both parties agree to utilize 100% of the 12-month average percentage change in the CPI between November 1, 2025, and November 1, 2026; for the six-month extension period beginning February 14, 2027 through August 13, 2027.

The fleet age metric is a consideration built into the current agreement, requiring Republic to invest in new vehicles beyond a specified lifespan; however, given the short-term nature of the proposed extension, investing in new vehicles would not be feasible for Republic in the instance that they are not selected as the ongoing service provider.

Additionally, the CPI adjustment rate requested for the calculation of this extension has been moved back from December to November to ensure an accurate calculation is available to process new service rates by February 14, 2027.

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: Richard Padilla, City Attorney

Date: June 15, 2026
Subject: Discussion and Consideration to Approve an Amendment to the City Manager Employment Contract Establishing Cost of Living Increase Terms or Other Alternative Amendments to Compensation Terms as May Be Warranted RECOMMENDATION:

If following closed session deliberation, the City Council is prepared to approve a final contract amendment in open session, true and correct copies of the proposed amendment will be made available to the public prior to any final action along with such other pre-approval reporting as may be required under the Brown Act.

Subject to final closed session deliberations, it is recommended that the City Council:
a. Receive an oral summary outlining the key points of the contract terms prior to taking action on the matter as required under Government Code Section 54953(c)(3); and b. Entertain a motion to:
(i) Approve a First Amendment to the City Manager Employment Agreement (Attachment “A” – Contract No. 2447(a)); and
(ii) Authorize the Mayor to execute the First Amendment on behalf of the City Council.

BACKGROUND:

1. On June 16, 2025, the City Council appointed Deputy City Manager/Economic Development Kanika Kith as Interim City Manager, effective July 7, 2025.

2. On October 6, 2025, the City Council approved the appointment of Interim City Manager Kanika Kith (“Kith”) as City Manager by a vote of 4 Yes and 1 No. Kith has served as Interim City Manager since July 7, 2025, and prior to that, held the position of the City’s Deputy City Manager/Economic Development since March 27, 2023, and Community Development Director since December 2021.

Discussion and Consideration to Approve an Amendment to the City Manager Employment Contract Establishing Cost of Living Increase Terms or Other Alternative Amendments to Compensation Terms as May Be Warranted

3. On October 20, 2025, the City Council entered into an Employment Agreement (the “Original Agreement”) (Attachment “A”) with Kanika Kith to serve as permanent City Manager at a base salary of $264,350 per year. The Employment Agreement has an indefinite term, provided for eighteen-month severance pay if terminated without cause, and aligned fringe benefits with the most current Executive Compensation Plan.

ANALYSIS
In October 2025, at the time of its approval, the Original Agreement did not include a provision for cost-of-living increase to the Base Salary as was the case with the prior City Manager’s contract and as is common for executive contracts in other cities. Pending the completion of the routine, annual performance evaluation called for under the Original Agreement, the City Council will deliberate on the issue of establishing some type of cost-of-living provision into the Original Agreement or such other modifications to the City Manager’s compensation terms as may be deemed warranted by the City Council.

All other provisions of the existing Employment Agreement will remain unchanged, and fringe benefits will continue to be pursuant to the Executive Compensation Package Resolution No. 8289 (Attachment “B”).

Government Code Section 54957.6(a) requires the City Council to approve proposed compensation of appointed employees in open session. Similarly, under Government Code Section 53262(a), all employment contracts for city managers must be ratified in open session.

BUDGET IMPACT:

The precise budget impact will depend on the structure of any cost-of-living provision included in any amendment to the Original Agreement or such other compensation modifications as the City Council may deem warranted.

CITY, through the City Council, may at any time terminate EMPLOYEE’s employment with the CITY with or without cause by majority vote of its full membership (i.e., by no less than three affirmative votes). EMPLOYEE acknowledges, understands and agrees that EMPLOYEE may not rely on or invoke any procedures, provisions or protections set forth under the CITY’s Employment Policies, as defined herein, insofar as such procedures, provisions or protections limit, restrict, modify, prohibit or regulate EMPLOYEE’s status as an “at-will” employee of CITY or the ability of the City Council to terminate EMPLOYEE’s employment at any time for cause or for convenience.

B. Except as otherwise provided under this Section 3, EMPLOYEE shall not be entitled to any pre-termination hearing or other similar proceeding or appeal proceeding as a precondition to any decision or action by the City Council to terminate EMPLOYEE’s employment whether for cause or for convenience.

C. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon EMPLOYEE any right to any property interest in continued employment with the CITY.

3.2 Resignation/Retirement
A. EMPLOYEE may resign and/or retire from employment with the CITY at any time for any reason, provided EMPLOYEE provides the City Council with written notice of EMPLOYEE’s intent to so terminate EMPLOYEE’s employment at least forty-five (45) calendar days prior to the effective date of separation.

B. The City Council in its sole and absolute discretion may waive or shorten the 45-day prior written notice requirement provided the request for such waiver is made in writing by EMPLOYEE and further provided that the City Council’s waiver of the notice requirement is also made in writing.

C. The failure of EMPLOYEE to provide the prior written notice required under this Section shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

3.3 Separation for Convenience and Without Cause; Severance A. In the event EMPLOYEE is terminated for convenience and without cause by the City Council while EMPLOYEE is willing and able to perform the City Manager’s duties under this Agreement, then in that event the CITY agrees to pay EMPLOYEE a lump sum cash payment equal to eighteen (18) months’ worth of EMPLOYEE’s annual Base Salary at the time of separation [i.e., the value of one months’ worth of EMPLOYEE’s annual Base Salary at the time of separation multiplied by eighteen].

B. CITY shall extend to EMPLOYEE the right to continued health insurance as may be required by and pursuant to terms and conditions of this Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1986 (“COBRA”). The CITY agrees to reimburse EMPLOYEE for COBRA coverage at the same benefit level (i.e., employee only, employee +1, or family) as provided as of the date of separation for the same number of months for which EMPLOYEE is entitled to a lump sum cash payment under Section 3.3(A), or until EMPLOYEE either secures and begins full-time employment or obtains other health insurance, whichever of these three events first occurs. EMPLOYEE shall notify the CITY within five (5) calendar days of securing new full-time employment or insurance.

C. All payments required under Section 3.3(A) or 3.3(B), above, are subject to and shall be interpreted to comply with the limitations set forth in Government Code Section 53260.

The City Council, in its sole and absolute discretion, may place the EMPLOYEE on administrative leave with pay until resolution of allegations or charges, including but not limited to criminal charges, brought against EMPLOYEE, or until a final judicial or administrative decision finding legally prohibited personal acts of sexual harassment against a CITY official or employee or legally prohibited personal acts of discrimination against a CITY official or employee.

EMPLOYEE may have a representative at the closed session with the City Council. After hearing EMPLOYEE’s response to the charges, the City Council shall make a decision as to whether to terminate this Agreement and shall inform EMPLOYEE in writing of its decision. Other than as provided in this subsection, EMPLOYEE expressly waives any other form of hearing or appeal of the City Council’s decision. Nothing in this subsection creates a property right in employment.

The initiation of termination proceedings for cause shall not operate to prohibit or otherwise restrict the City Council from exercising its right to terminate EMPLOYEE without cause as provided under Section 3.3 of this Agreement.

B. In the event the CITY terminates EMPLOYEE for cause, then the CITY may terminate this Agreement immediately, and EMPLOYEE shall be entitled to only the compensation accrued up to the date of termination, payments required under Sections 2 and subsection 3.5 and such other termination benefits and payments as may be required by law. In the event of termination for cause, the City Manager shall not be entitled to any severance provided for under subsection 3.3, above.
