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

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).

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).

6. On June 15, 2026, the City Council continued the public hearing to a special City Council meeting on June 29, 2026.

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 June 29, 2026 Special CC Mtg Page 72 of 268
A Continued Public Hearing to Consider Adopting a Resolution Approving the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Annual Budget

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.

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 “C”.

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.

June 29, 2026 Special CC Mtg Page 73 of 268
A Continued Public Hearing to Consider Adopting a Resolution Approving the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Annual Budget

Through the FY 2026-2027 Budget Study Sessions, the City Council was able to provide feedback regarding proposed departmental objectives and work plans. Staff tracked City Council comments and feedback along with accompanying responses, which have been attached (Exhibit “8” to Attachment “A”).

Significant discussion was dedicated to Fiscal Year 2026-2027 special events and programming.

Based on discussion during Budget Study Session No. 4 on June 15, 2026, the City Council provided the following guidance regarding the continuation, modification or establishment of new special events and programs to include in the upcoming year’s schedule:

Special Events.
o Continue seven (7) events: 4th of July Celebration, City’s Birthday Celebration, Movies at the Park, Senior Fest, Spring Jamboree, Summer Concerts and Tree Lighting events o Adjust two (2) events: Pride Flag Ceremony (event to be shifted to a weekday to eliminate additional staff costs); and Dia de los Muertos (to be scaled down to reduce costs) o Co-Sponsor two (2) events: Veterans Day and Memorial Day Events (Additional savings may be achieved once co-sponsorships are finalized, at which time staff will return for City Council authorization)
o Pause one (1) event: San Fernando Valley Mile
o Four (4) New events for consideration: El Grito, Holiday Parade, Welcome Home Veterans Day, and Veteran Monthly Meetings
Exhibit “9” to Attachment “A”, reflects the estimated costs associated with City Council's direction. Based on current projections, the total cost of the proposed events exceeds the allocated special events budget of $173,180, resulting in a funding gap of approximately $59,095.

Historically, the City's special events budget allocation of approximately $173,180 has only covered direct external expenses such as vendors, entertainment, equipment rentals, permits, and contracted services. The costs associated with staff support, including Public Works and Police, have not been included in event budgets.

As a result, Public Works and Police Department staff have supported special events using existing departmental resources. While this approach has allowed the City to successfully host events, it has also required staff to divert time and resources away from core services, including responding to community requests, cleaning and maintaining public facilities and infrastructure, addressing quality-of-life concerns, and providing proactive public safety services.

June 29, 2026 Special CC Mtg Page 74 of 268
A Continued Public Hearing to Consider Adopting a Resolution Approving the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Annual Budget

For the proposed Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget, staff recommended modifying and temporarily pausing certain events so that the existing special events allocation could fully fund both direct event expenses and associated Public Works and Police Department overtime costs. This approach provides a more accurate representation of the true cost of hosting special events and the operational impacts on City services.

To remain within the approved special events budget of $173,180, staff recommend using Area B funds to advance the estimated $37,718 cost of the Holiday Parade, with reimbursement occurring at a later date through sponsorships and fundraising efforts. This approach would allow the Holiday Parade to proceed while preserving sufficient funding for the City's remaining special events. However, even with the use of Area B funds for the Holiday Parade, the proposed event list would still result in a funding gap of approximately $21,377. This gap reflects the modified costs for both the Veterans Monthly Meetings and the Welcome Home Veterans events, which would only be able to proceed if co-sponsored. Therefore, staff recommend that City Council modify the special events list to eliminate the remaining funding gap and ensure that all event costs can be accommodated within the available budget.

Recreational Programs.

Based on City Council direction during Budget Study Session No. 4 on June 15, 2026, staff will begin taking steps to identify sponsorship and/or partnership opportunities for the Volleyball Open Gym, Lopez Adobe Tours, and the Mission City Baseball program. These programs will continue operating in the interim while staff evaluates alternatives and conduct appropriate community engagement.

The Teens for a Better Community program will be consolidated into the AS@P Teen Program effective immediately. This change will allow staff resources to be focused on a single, unified teen program.

Shades at Recreation Park.

Staff has reviewed relevant prior projects and developed an initial cost estimate of approximately $106,000 for the installation of shade structures at the Recreation Park Playground. A more comprehensive and refined estimate will be prepared by the vendor responsible for the recent shade installation at Pioneer Park. Upon receipt of this information, staff will return with a range of funding options for consideration, including the potential use of Measure A Funds.

Budget Adoption Resolution.

The Budget Resolution (Attachment “A”) incorporates adjustments to the proposed budget, including proposed enhancements for City Council authorization. Adjustments also reflect corrections to an inflated amount in the Retirement Fund Tax, with the appropriate amounts now redistributed to the Water & Sewer Funds. While this adjustment reduces use of the reserve balance, further review will be conducted when the Pension Override Tax Levy is considered in August 2026.

June 29, 2026 Special CC Mtg Page 75 of 268
A Continued Public Hearing to Consider Adopting a Resolution Approving the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Annual Budget

The resolution further authorizesstaff 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; or adopt Resolution No. 8468 (Attachment “B”), a budget resolution which continues the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget pending final approval of the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Budget by or before July 20, 2026.

Project Description: The San Fernando Pacoima Wash Bikeway and Pedestrian Path Project (Pacoima Wash Bikeway Project) is a Capital Improvement Project that will construct a bike path and pedestrian bridge along the Pacoima Wash through the City of San Fernando (from Fourth Street/Bradley Avenue to the Pacoima Wash Natural Park). 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.

Project Description: The Carlisle Green Alley Project will revitalize an underutilized alley into a vibrant linear green space. Through a combination of strategic planning and sustainable design, this project seeks to enhance urban landscape, foster environmental sustainability, and promote healthier, more vibrant neighborhoods. The development will include a safer walking and biking route, enhanced with shade trees and lighting to encourage active transportation and community engagement. The landscape will be revitalized with the planting of trees and native plants, enriching the area’s biodiversity. Permeable surfaces will be installed to facilitate groundwater infiltration, improving water quality and reducing runoff. Additionally, the construction of bioswales will naturally filter stormwater, mitigate flooding, and bolster the area’s environmental resilience.

Schedule: Design is on hold while the contract is amended to get the funds for survey work (since January 2026). Construction is expected to begin by Winter 2026 and be completed by Summer 2027.

2026-2027 BUDGET STUDY SESSIONS:

CONSOLIDATED RECAP
Budget Study Session No.1: The initial Budget Study was held on May 18, 2026, in which the City Council received a presentation on the budget overview, the City Manager’s Office, and Administrative Services Department. Comments and follow-up actions discussed during the meeting are provided below. Responses to items are provided in blue. • Budget Overview Presentation
o For improved transparency, in instances of budget amendments throughout the fiscal year, include new reserve balance total in the budget impact section of agenda reports. Staff will update standard operating procedures related to agenda reports to include this information going forward. o Provide information on the cost the County pays monthly for the lease of the pool. Staff will submit a public records request and work with the County to obtain and share follow‑up information on monthly pool‑related expenses.

This data will also be incorporated into future financial forecast models as the City evaluates its options at the end of the initial 35‑year lease term, which concludes in October 2049.
o Provide presentation on the cost for Liebert, Cassidy Whittmore (LCW) to provide legal services on cases or settlements from 2012 – current. Staff will coordinate with LCW to schedule a presentation regarding the requested information.
o Evaluate opportunities to trim back on events to save additional funding. A presentation will be provided on the requested information during the Recreation & Community Services Department budget presentation on May 26, 2026.
• City Manager’s Office
o City Council approved the amount of $300 ($3.50 Certificate with Blue Folder or $15.00 Certificate with Frame) per Councilmember to use towards Certificate Recognitions. Once that amount is exhausted, any additional requests for Certificate Recognitions by that Councilmember will be paid from the Councilmember’s Community Investment Fund. Update to be included in adopted budget.
o Return with procedure and update procedure manual to include process for transferring Councilmember allocated funds amongst Councilmembers for June 29, 2026 Special CC Mtg Page 131 of 268

purposes such as conferences, travel, meetings, certificate allowance, etc.

Staff will return with the requested information at the June 8, 2026, meeting in conjunction with the Agenda Item “Updates to the City Council Procedural Manual.”
• Administrative Services Department
o Return with amounts and timeline for IT related grants. $120,000 through CalOES State and Local Cybersecurity Grant program to be awarded in July 2026. Additional funding will be applied through the UASI 25 program through the Police Department for a more secure server dedicated to public safety requirements.

As a component of the newly adopted San Fernando Strategic Plan, an Implementation Action Plan (IAP) will next be developed. Within the IAP, staff will incorporate strategies to address cross-functional training between positions to ensure continuity of services.

Budget Study Session No. 2: The 2nd Study Session was held on May 26, 2026, in which the City Council received a presentation from the City Clerk, Community Development, and Recreation & Community Services Departments. Comments and follow-up actions discussed during the meeting are provided below. Responses to items are provided in blue.

CITY CLERK’S OFFICE
• Request for staff to provide a list of Cesar Chavez Memorial contributors: On October 6, 2024, City Council approved an initial funding plan for the César E.

Chávez Memorial site (available digitally through web link). No additional reporting to City Council was identified following the site’s construction. Staff recently contacted the Pueblo Y Salud to inquire about additional records of contributors; however, they were unable to supply records on brick and plaque sales or donations.

June 29, 2026 Special CC Mtg Page 132 of 268
RES. NO. 8467
EXH “8”
• Suggestion to augment banners that encourage the community to vote during the election season: The City’s next election is March 2028. Staff will incorporate in 2027-2028 budget process for additional consideration and request through Los Angeles County Election Office resources.
• Request to provide a comment drop box for City Council Meeting preferred translators: Staff will review costs and determine a comment box review process to present to the City Council consideration and direction. • Recommendation for City Clerk’s Office to attend the elections ballot processing center: Staff annually attends the Los Angeles County Registrar/Recorder’s Annual City Clerk Summit where election information is presented. Additionally, the City Clerk has previously visited the ballot processing center. A time will be scheduled for the Deputy City Clerk/Management Analyst to visit and review the ballot processing center.
• Request for information distinguishing the City Council Handbook from Procedural Manual and timeline: The City Council Procedural Manual covers processes that occur during a City Council Meeting and City Council’s roles and responsibilities, with specific references to the Government Code, meeting management, and required elected official forms. Whereas the City Council Handbook serves as an orientation guide that outlines key policies, benefits and compensation, key staff contacts, technology and security practices, and travel and conference procedures, etc. to help Councilmembers understand operational processes and available resources.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
• Staff to provide clarification regarding the $65,000 enhancement for legal services, as listed at no net cost: While other enhancements are cost-only, legal services for code enforcement will also collect fees on outstanding cases. The revenues then offset the expense, resulting in an estimated net cost of zero.

RECREATION & COMMUNITY SERVICES (RCS) DEPARTMENT
• Events Discussion:
o Can non-profit organizations assist with Senior Fest and San Fernando Valley Mile Run events: Yes, partnering with interested organizations to sponsor events is always welcomed. The challenge has been due to staffing, as there is no dedicated position within Recreation & Community Services to market and recruit sponsorships. In turn, this role is only conducted intermittently between special event coordination as time allows.

June 29, 2026 Special CC Mtg Page 133 of 268
RES. NO. 8467
EXH “8”
o Provide a list of special events to include additional information regarding co-sponsorships, complete staff costs including regular time vs overtime costs, and attendance: A list is available digitally through web link. o Consider partnering with the City of Los Angeles for future 4th of July Events: Staff will reach out to the City of Los Angeles to determine feasibility of request and return with additional information for the 2027 Independence Day Event.
o Consider replacing/merging El Grito with Menudo Festival using Area B Funds: One-time funding was appropriated in Fiscal Year 2025-2026 at $12,000 for the El Grito Event. If the City Council approves continuing as an ongoing event along with restructuring, Area B funds could be considered for use.
o Provide costs if Tree Lighting Event were combined with re-routed Parade and consider use of Area B Funds. Councilmember Lopez will also reach out to ask Emprende organization to provide a presentation to City Council regarding their role in organizing a Christmas Parade: A meeting was scheduled with Councilmember Lopez, Emprende organization, and staff on June 3, 2026 to discuss collaboration and cost. Based on the discussion, staff will present estimated cost on June 15, 2026 for consideration. The proposal will include Emprende serving as the parade organizer to include event planning, community outreach, participant recruitment, sponsorship development and promotional efforts. The City would support through street closures, traffic control, safety plan development, permitting and task force establishment for ongoing event logistics coordination.
o Provide information regarding Vendor Selection Process for Events: The Special Events Vendor Application (available digitally through web link) provides businesses and organizations the opportunity to showcase their products and services at various City‑hosted events throughout the year.

Vendors may apply to participate in a single event or multiple events using the same application. In cases where multiple vendors offering similar products or services apply, selections are made on a first‑come, first‑served basis, with a rotational schedule implemented to ensure equitable participation. Instances requiring this approach, however, have been limited. Moving forward, staff will post a call-for-vendor on social media to increase outreach.
o Provide information on the cost of combining Movies at the Park and Concerts at the Park into one event: The current cost for the Summer Concert Series is $29,812 and Movies at the Park is $12,853, for a combined total of $42,665 across the duration of both programs. While consolidating the events into a combined three-week format may appear June 29, 2026 Special CC Mtg Page 134 of 268
RES. NO. 8467
EXH “8”
to present cost-saving opportunities, projected expenses for staffing and event coordination would still total approximately $42,500, resulting in minimal overall savings. Both programs are distinct in nature, requiring different equipment, operational needs, and event setups, while also attracting different audiences and community interests. As a result, combining the events would provide limited financial benefit. • Provide a list of all programming activities, with complete costs including staff time, supplies, and attendance information, including Afterschool Program: A list is available digitally through web link.
• Status on locating permanent home for Liberty Bell: The Lopez Adobe House was evaluated as a potential site; however, Public Works staff expressed concerns regarding possible vandalism. Staff also assessed the City Hall lobby, which appears to be a viable alternative but would require further evaluation to determine appropriate mounting needs. Staff welcomes additional direction from the Council on any other locations and will present a proposal to Council at a later date.
• Cost Estimates for City Farmer’s Market: Per City Council authorization on May 4, 2026, staff released a request for proposals (RFP) on May 7, 2026 for a Farmers Market operator. The RFP encourages proposals with no-cost or revenue sharing models for operation. The deadline for submittal is July 9, 2026.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
• Contact the Los Angeles County Elections Division and United States Postal Service (USPS) regarding new changes in mail handling as it relates to ballot processing: The Los Angeles County Registrar recommends voters who want to return their ballot by United State Postal Services (USPS) mail should go into a Post Office to request a postmark of their ballot which will ensure it is counted on/before Election Day. Staff published social media posts on May 29 and June 1 reminding voters that ballots must be postmarked on or before June 2, encouraging those mailing their ballots to obtain a postmark inside a USPS facility to verify timely mailing and eligibility for inclusion in the official ballot count. • Consider cost and procedural impacts of San Fernando becoming a Charter City:

With City Council consensus and direction, staff will return with this additional information.
• Provide additional information regarding paying off future debt: The Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Proposed Budget includes a request for funding towards a long-range financial forecast. If the budget is adopted to include this enhancement, information regarding future debt pay-off will be incorporated.

City Council provided the following guidance regarding the continuation, modification or establishment of new special events and programs to include in the upcoming year’s schedule, which are outlined below in blue.

Special Events.
o Continue seven (7) events: Tree Lighting, Spring Jamboree, Senior Fest, City’s Birthday Celebration, Movies at the Park, Summer Concerts and 4th of July Celebration
o Adjust two (2) events: Pride Flag Ceremony (event to be shifted to a weekday to eliminate additional staff costs); and Dia de los Muertos (to be scaled down to reduce costs)
o Co-Sponsor two (2) events: Veterans Day and Memorial Day Events o Pause one (1) event: San Fernando Valley Mile
o New events for consideration (4): El Grito, Holiday Parade, Welcome Home Veteran’s Day, and Veteran Monthly Meetings
Additional direction was provided to return at a Special Meeting on June 29, 2026 to finalize special event programming for budget adoption (see Resolution 8467, Exhibit 9).

Recreational Programs.

Based on Council direction during Budget Study Session #4 on June 15, 2026, staff will begin taking steps to identify sponsorship and/or partnership opportunities for the Volleyball Open Gym, Lopez Adobe Tours, and the Mission City Baseball program.

These programs will continue operating in the interim while staff evaluate alternatives and conduct appropriate community engagement.

The Teens for a Better Community program will be consolidated into the AS@P Teen Program effective immediately. This change will allow staff resources to be focused on a single, unified teen program.

AGENDA REPORT
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT 117 MACNEIL STREET, SAN FERNANDO, CA 91340 (818) 898-7307 WWW.SANFERNANDO.ORG REVIEW: ☒ City Clerk ☒ Director of Admin Services ☒ City Manager To: Mayor Joel Fajardo and Councilmembers
From: Kanika Kith, City Manager
By: Bonnie Tam, Director of Public Works
Victor Meza, Water Operations Manager

Date: June 29 , 2026
Subject: Receive and File Status Update on Well No. 2A Nitrate Treatment Plant Expansion Project, Project No. 7630
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council receive and file the status report for the Well No. 2A Nitrate Treatment Plant Expansion Project, Project No. 7630.

BACKGROUND:

1. On May 22, 2025, staff identified a critical mechanical failure at Well No. 2A, rendering it inoperable.

2. On June 2, 2025 , the City Manager authorized urgency procurement and repair Well No. 2A.

This action enabled General Pump to mobilize for immediate repair.

3. On September 2, 2025, the City Council awarded Contract No. 2424 to Civiltec Engineering, Inc. for Professional Engineering Design Services for a new Well 2A Nitrate Treatment Plant Expansion System and approved Contract No. 1920(d) to Envirogen Technologies, Inc. for a proprietary Ion Exchange Nitrate Removal Treatment System for Well No. 2A Nitrate Treatment Plant Expansion System.

4. On September 3, 2025, a Notice to Proceed issued to both Civiltec Engineering, Inc. and Envirogen Technologies for the professional engineering design services and the purchase of a proprietary Ion Exchange Nitrate Removal Treatment System at Well No. 2A.

5. On October 27, 2025, the City received approval from the State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water, to return Well 2 to service following the completion of rehabilitation work performed by General Pump.

Receive and File Status Update on Well No. 2A Nitrate Treatment Plant Expansion Project, Project No. 7630

6. On December10, 2025 the City received an extension to the state grant awarded by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) through the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Program, Grant Agreement No. D2202021. The new deadline date is June 30, 2028.

7. On June 15, 2026, the City Council continued the item to a special City Council meeting on June 29, 2026.

ANALYSIS:

Maintaining and upgrading the City’s water wells is essential to ensuring a safe, reliable, and sustainable water supply for the community. As the City relies heavily on local groundwater to meet residential, commercial, and emergency needs, investing in the upkeep of City wells protects public health, safeguards against system failures, and reduces dependence on costly imported water from Metropolitan Water District (MWD).

The City relies heavily on its four (4) active wells, Well 2A, Well 3, Well 4A, and Well 7A, which collectively meet system demand and currently keep nitrate levels within drinking water standards. Of these, Well 2A is the most critical, producing over 2,000 gpm (gallons per minute) and serving as a cornerstone of the City’s water supply. The table below shows the City’s wells and production:

Groundwater Sources
Source Status Capacity (GPM)
Well 2A Active 2,030 gpm
Well 3 Active 1,100 gpm
Well4A Active 400 gpm
Well 7A Active 900 gpm
Well No. 2A, located at 14060 Sayre Street, Sylmar, CA (Attachment “A”), is the City's highest-capacity well, capable of producing approximately 2,030 gpm, enough to meet the City's full daily water demand on its own (approximately 2030 GPM during normal climate conditionsWhile peak operations conditions during hot months daily demand require 3000 GPM). Current nitrate levels are 9.4 mg/L, just below the State Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of 10 mg/L.

If the MCL is reached, the well must be shut down and the City would need to purchase significantly more expensive imported water from MWD.

Restoring Well No. 2A to full operation is critical to maintaining the City's long-term water independence and supply reliability. Relying on MWD water or other outside sources, when necessary, is significantly more expensive than treating the City's own groundwater.

Date: June 29, 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.

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.

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

5. On June 15, 2026, the City Council continued the item to a special City Council meeting on June 29, 2026.

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

June 29, 2026 Special CC Mtg Page 158 of 268
Discussion and Consideration to Approve Proposed Program Format and Date for the Second San Fernando Immigration Forum

The small group discussion component would allow residents to engage in guided conversations with City staff and community resource representatives.

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

ANALYSIS:

The Procedure Manual serves as a guide outlining the rules, policies, and practices for how the City Council conducts its business. The Procedural Manual covers meeting procedures, the roles and responsibilities of Councilmembers and staff, decision-making processes, and administrative policies designed to ensure consistency, transparency, and efficiency in city governance.

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.

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 and accepted edits as presented with minor revisions; and directed the City Attorney to return with additional amendments. Below is a brief summary of revisions in the proposed updates to the Procedural Manual:

1. Newly added Sections are included in blue text:
• Sections 6.2 through 6.9 – Making of Motions and Precedence of Motions • Section 17.2 - Communications Between Councilmembers and Employees • Section 17.3 – Speaking Order at Events
• Section 17.4 – Councilmember Safety, Access and Use of City Facilities

2. Included in redline text - various additional minor revisions prepared by the City Attorney, per City Council direction at the May 12, 2026 meeting.

Staff recommends that the City Council review all suggested revisions contained in the proposed Procedural Manual (Exhibit “A”). 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 and revisions will be incorporated into the final version of the Procedural Manual to be attached to the Resolution adopting the updated Procedural Manual.

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.

1.2 ADJOURNED MEETINGS
Any meeting may be adjourned (carried-overcarried over) in accordance with Government Code Section 54955. Government Code Section 54955 provides that when a regular or adjourned regular meeting is so adjourned, the resulting adjourned regular meeting is a regular meeting for all purposes. If the order of adjournment does not state the date, time and location of the adjourned meeting, such meeting shall be held at the date, time and location specified for regular meetings under the San Fernando Municipal Code and this policy. When an order of adjournment of any meeting fails to state the hour or place at which the adjourned meeting is to be held, it shall be held at the hour and place specified for regular meetings by ordinance.

The foregoing notwithstanding, the City Council, in an abundance of caution, shall first consult with the City Attorney prior to declaring a City Council seat vacant and prior to filling any putative vacancy so that the City Attorney may determine whether circumstances require the City to first initiate quo warranto proceedings through the Office of the California Attorney General or undertake any other procedures that will ensure the right to declare the seat vacant is perfected. This City Council by majority vote of the full membership reserve the right to seek a second opinion of the City Attorney’s determination on the matter from special legal counsel.
b. If a Councilmember is absent without permission for two (2) consecutive regular meetings, the City Clerk shall use his or her best efforts to send a courtesy e-mail and regular mail notice to the absent Councilmember within fourteen (14) business days of the second missed regular meeting, notifying him or her of the provisions of this policy and Government Code Section 36513.

declared vacant or to prevent the initiation of quo warranto or other proceedings if the unexcused absence persists beyond the time allowed under Government Code Section 36513. It is the personal responsibility of each Councilmember to keep track of his or her attendances of all meetings of the City Council so to avoid vacating his or her City Council seat. c. If a regular meeting of the City Council is cancelled or is otherwise rescheduled for any reason, the 60 consecutive days unexcused absence period shall reset for all members of the City Council.

d. Absences must be excused by the City Council acting as a body at a meeting of the City Council and may be approved by simple motion noted on the record of the proceedings approved by a majority of the members present. A Councilmember may request an excused absence before the anticipated date(s) of the absence or retroactively after the date(s) of the absence provided the 60 consecutive day time period prescribed under Government Code Section 36513 has not lapsed. Absence requests can be made by a Councilmember orally on the record of a City Council meeting or in writing.

All remarks should be addressed to the Presiding Officer and not to any one individual Councilmember or public member.

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:

June 29, 2026 Special CC Mtg Page 186 of 268

4.5 ENFORCEMENT OF DECORUM

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 June 29, 2026 Special CC Mtg Page 187 of 268
Procedural Manual – City Council of the City of San Fernando 16 E:\AGENDA ITEM PROCESSING\2026\06_29_2026 (Special)\01_PLACE DRAFTS HERE\CC Procedure Manual (V2.0 -CAO from 06-23-26) ATT A_EXH A.docx
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 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.

6. MOTIONS

6.1 POLICY OBJECTIVE

6.2 INITIAL PRESENTATION OF AGENDIZED BUSINESSOPPORTUNITY TO ASK

QUESTIONS AND COMMENT BEFORE MOTIONS
Councilmembers shall refrain from making motions on any agendized matter under consideration until the Presiding Officer has:
i. Recognized and given all members of the City Council an opportunity June 29, 2026 Special CC Mtg Page 193 of 268
Procedural Manual – City Council of the City of San Fernando 22 E:\AGENDA ITEM PROCESSING\2026\06_29_2026 (Special)\01_PLACE DRAFTS HERE\CC Procedure Manual (V2.0 -CAO from 06-23-26) ATT A_EXH A.docx
to ask questions and offer comment on the matter; and
ii. Opens the floor for the making of motions.

For each action item on the City Council agenda, excluding non-pulled consent items, the Presiding Officer, through the City Manager, will invite the appropriate person(s) to present on the item, including any recommendation that they might have.

After the presentation is completed, Councilmembers will be given an opportunity to pose questions, seek clarification and offer comment on the item of business at hand. For each agendized item of business, the Presiding Officer shall make a professional, courteous, good faith effort to randomize the order in which Councilmembers are recognized to pose questions, seek clarifications and/or offer comment on the matter. After all Councilmembers have been given an initial opportunity to pose questions and comment on a matter, the Presiding Officer will ask if a majority of Councilmembers present wish to undertake an additional round of questioning and comment before the Presiding Officer entertains motions. An additional round will be conducted only if a majority of Councilmembers present so request. Successive rounds of commenting and questioning will be undertaken so long as a majority of Councilmembers present wish to continue with a subsequent round. Councilmembers shall refrain from making main motions on the item during this time.

6.3 MAKING OF MOTIONS
a. After the period for Councilmembers to pose question, seek clarification and offer comment on a matter has concluded, the Presiding Officer will then open the floor for the making of motions. Insofar as an action item was placed on the agenda by an individual Councilmember, the Presiding Officer, as a professional courtesy, will give the Councilmember responsible for placing the item on the agenda the opportunity to make the main motion to approve the item, subject to another Councilmember seconding the motion. All main motions shall require a second in order to be voted upon. b. When a main motion is made and seconded and before deliberation or voting on the motion commences, the Presiding Officer should make sure all Councilmembers understand the motion. This can be accomplished in one of three way:
i. The Presiding Officer can ask the maker of the motion to repeat it. ii. The Presiding Officer can repeat it; or
iii. The Presiding office can ask the City Clerk, the City Manager or the City June 29, 2026 Special CC Mtg Page 194 of 268
Procedural Manual – City Council of the City of San Fernando 23 E:\AGENDA ITEM PROCESSING\2026\06_29_2026 (Special)\01_PLACE DRAFTS HERE\CC Procedure Manual (V2.0 -CAO from 06-23-26) ATT A_EXH A.docx

c. Once a main motion has been made, seconded and repeated for clarity, the Presiding Officer will open the floor for deliberation on the merits of the main motion on the table, which deliberation may include the making of any of the subsidiary or incidental motions described under Sections 6.4., 6.5, 6.7 and

6.8, below as well as friendly amendments as described under Section 6.9, below. The Presiding Officer will give each member opportunity to comment on the main motion and to propose any of the types of motions or actions referenced in the preceding sentence before a vote is taken. At any given time during deliberation on a main motion, there may be no more than one primary amendment and one secondary amendment on the table.
d. No Councilmember may make a motion to call the previous question as described in paragraph 7 of Section 6.7 until all members have been recognized by the Presiding Officer and afforded an opportunity to address the body regarding the main motion on the table at least two times for a maximum of 5 minutes each time. A Councilmember who does not avail himself/herself of either or both opportunities to speak or does not use their maximum allotted time to speak waives such time or the unused balance of such time.

The unused allotted time of one Councilmember may not be donated to another Councilmember. At any time during deliberation, a Councilmember who is recognized by the Presiding Officer may make a motion to limit or extend the time for debate as described under paragraph 8 of Section 6.7. e. During deliberation, the Presiding Officer will recognize the maker and seconder of the main motion last to speak on the motion. f. There is a limit to the number of amendments that may be considered at any one time: There can only be one main motion, one primary amendment and one secondary amendment pending at a given time. The secondary amendment will be voted on before the primary amendment, and the primary amendment will be voted on before the main motion. Both the primary amendment and the secondary amendment can take on any of the formats identified under paragraph 11 of Section 6.7, below. Unlike what is stated under Robert’s Rules of Order, a secondary amendment need not be limited to only amending the primary amendment.
g. Once deliberation is completed, the City Council will proceed to vote on the motions and amendments on the table.

SECTION 17. MISCELLANEOUS

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. It is also understood that by communicating with individual Councilmembers in such a manner, no attorney-client relationship shall exist, or be created, as between the City Attorney and individual Councilmembers. b. 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.

This policy is intended to establish clear and proper channels of communication between Councilmembers and employees and to promote the efficient use of staff time.
b. Communication with Employees.
i. Each Councilmember shall comply with the provisions of Section 2-123 (Relations with council) of the San Fernando Municipal Code (hereinafter, "Municipal Code 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...”
ii. Subject to the restrictions of Municipal Code Section 2-123 and paragraph (c) below, Councilmembers are free to communicate with City employees to receive information, including employee suggestions, ideas and general workplace concerns or for purely social purposes unrelated to City business. Councilmembers should be aware that information provided by individual employees regarding City operations or management objectives may be incomplete and based on limited information available to the employee; may be inaccurate or may merely reflect the employees unvetted opinion on a matter.
iii. Subparagraph (b)(2), above, notwithstanding, Councilmembers must refrain from embroiling themselves the pending personnel disciplinary matters of individual employees or pending investigations of the same, especially with respect to matters that are ultimately appealable to the City Council. Insofar as Councilmembers have unsolicited communications with employees who are parties to a disciplinary matter or investigation (whether as a subject, complainant or a witness), Councilmembers shall advise such employees that they cannot act as an June 29, 2026 Special CC Mtg Page 219 of 268

c. Engagement with Collective Bargaining Units:
i. A Councilmember may not hold himself or herself out as the City’s designated labor negotiator or as someone speaking on behalf of City Management or the City Council’s behalf, unless he or she has been appointed to act in such capacity by the City Council. Councilmember may not disclose any information or documentation that is privileged or otherwise confidential at any other time, including times when the City is not engaged in contract negotiations with any one or more of its collective bargaining units.
ii. In the event of unsolicited communication or contact initiated by a representative of a City collective bargaining unit (including any City employee acting in a representative capacity for such bargaining unit), Councilmembers are free to discuss bargaining unit concerns and requests, pose questions and receive such other information as may be provided. Councilmembers shall communicate bargaining unit concerns and requests to the City Manager for study and other potential action or follow-up. Councilmembers will not request the agendizing of such matters without first giving the City Manager an opportunity to study the matter and engage with the bargaining unit directly to address the matter or gather additional information.
iii. During active collective bargaining agreement negotiations between City management and bargaining units, Councilmembers shall promptly disclose any information, concerns, requests or documentation provided to the Councilmember by any bargaining unit representative that is pertinent to the negotiations 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).

Patty Lopez Coucilwoman
San Fernando Christmas Parade 2026
The purpose of agendizing this item is to present a proposal for the return of the San Fernando Christmas Parade 2026, which would mark the revival of a beloved community tradition that has not been held in many years. The item requests City Council consideration of EMPRENDE as the official organizing entity responsible for planning, coordinating, and producing the event in partnership with the City.

EMPRENDE has demonstrated a strong commitment to community engagement, cultural programming, and economic development through events that bring residents, businesses, and community organizations together. Designating EMPRENDE as the official organizer would provide a dedicated and experienced community partner to lead the effort while working collaboratively with City staff, public safety agencies, local schools, businesses, and community groups.

The return of the Christmas Parade presents an opportunity to strengthen community pride, celebrate the City's diversity and traditions, increase visibility for local businesses, and create a family friendly event that encourages residents and visitors to gather in the spirit of the holiday season. As the first parade in many years, the event has the potential to become a signature annual tradition that reflects the values and identity of the City of San Fernando. ✔
City Council consideration and direction are requested regarding the designation of EMPRENDE as the official organizing entity and the development of a partnership framework necessary to successfully implement the San Fernando Christmas Parade 2026.
