CITY OF
SIERRA MADRE STAFF REPORT
PLANNING & COMMUNITY PRESERVATION
DATE: January 13, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Clare Lin, Director of Planning & Community Preservation By: Katelyn Huang, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 26-07 Authorizing the Allocation of FY 2026-2027 CDBG Funds for the Senior Minor Home Rehabilitation Program.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-07 authorizing the allocation of FY 2026-2027 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and prior years unallocated funds to continue the Senior Minor Home Rehabilitation Program established in FY 2023-2024.
SUMMARY
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program has operated since 1974 to provide local governments the resources to meet the needs of persons of low and moderate-incomes.
The City of Sierra Madre partners with the Los Angeles County Development Authority for the disbursement of CDBG funds.
The City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element identified a Minor Home Rehabilitation Program for income qualified seniors each year. The City is expected to receive an estimated amount of $37,266 in Fiscal Year 2026-2027 CDBG funds. The City plans to allocate the expected funds into its Minor Home Rehabilitation Program.
DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
For a number of years, CDBG funds have been used to make meaningful improvements throughout the City. Most recently as part of a nationwide COVID-19 response, the City partnered with the Los Angeles County Development Authority to offer grants to Small Businesses. In July 2022, the City adopted the 2021-2029 6th Cycle Housing Element update and identified the Minor Home Rehabilitation Program for lower income seniors as its preferred use of CDBG funds to preserve housing assets in the City. Based on the age of the housing stock, combined with many seniors who may have difficulty maintaining their homes, the City directed Allocation of FY 2026-2027 CDBG Funds for Senior Minor Home Rehabilitation Program January 13, 2026
CDBG funds towards establishing a grant program for the Minor Home Rehabilitation Program. 2021-2029 Objective: Develop program guidelines for a Minor Home Rehabilitation Program utilizing CDBG funds. Conduct outreach through the Sierra Madre Senior Center, the Senior Commission, the City newsletter and City Hall website. Seek to assist six extremely low, very low and low income households annually, for a total of 48 during the planning period.
On January 9, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 24-05, establishing the Minor Home Rehabilitation Program for FY 2023-2024. The program provides grants for minor homerehabilitation projects to eligible low- and moderate-income senior residents of Sierra Madre for integral home improvements, including modifications that make aging in place easier.
Subsequently, the City Council adopted Resolutions Nos. 24-14 and 25-05, continuing the program for FY 2024-2025 and FY 2025-2026. Since the adoption of the program, the City has successfully completed eight rehabilitation projects, including re-roofing, tub-to-roll-in shower conversions, installation of new heating and air conditioning systems, water heaters and window replacements.
Income-qualified homeowner households earning less than 80% Area Median Income (AMI) would be eligible for grants of up to $17,255 to assist with home repairs such as accessibility improvements. The work includes but is not limited to wheelchair ramps, handrails, grab bars, tub conversions to roll-in showers, roof repairs, plumbing repairs, and window replacement. With Sierra Madre’s sizable senior citizen population – one-quarter of whom are lower income – a program to assist seniors with minor home improvements could provide support in allowing them to age in place.
The CDBG grant funds 100% of the $17,255 in minor home rehabilitation and a 20% consultant fee (totaling $4,313), totaling $21,568 for each senior resident. The City expects to receive an estimated total of $37,266 in Fiscal Year 2026-2027 in Community Development Block Grant Funds and is requesting City Council authorization to allocate these funds to its Senior Minor Home Rehabilitation Program.
STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
The proposed allocation of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds is consistent with the City’s Strategic Plan. Specifically, it advances the Organizational Sustainability (OS) Chapter, Goal 2.2 (Develop and Maintain Long-Term Financial Planning) by leveraging diverse funding sources and reducing future liability costs. In addition, the CDBG program aligns with the Community Enrichment (CE) Chapter by expanding and promoting City programs that support seniors.
Allocation of FY 2026-2027 CDBG Funds for Senior Minor Home Rehabilitation Program January 13, 2026
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed action does not constitute as a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), based on Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, as it can be determined with certainty that it will have no impact on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds are appropriated annually as a Special Revenue in Fund 38002 CDBG – Community Development Block Grant. For Fiscal Year 2026-2027, the City of Sierra Madre is expected to receive an estimated $37,266. These funds can be retained over several years to pursue targeted projects, including the Senior Minor Home Rehabilitation Program.
The program, fully funded by CDBG, provides grants of up to $17,255 per eligible senior household, along with a 20% consultant fee allocation (totaling $4,313 per household), for a total of $21,568 per participant. This allocation ensures that eligible projects can proceed without reliance on the Fund 10000 General Fund or additional City resources.

The attachment includes details on general warrants, utility bills, library warrants, and payroll transfers.
The Check Approval Register provides a comprehensive record of financial disbursements by the City of Sierra Madre, detailing payment transactions, vendor information, and check dates to ensure transparency and accountability. Additionally, the Payroll Summary Register outlines payroll disbursements, including total earnings, employer expenses, and overall payroll costs for Resolution No. 26-2 Approving Warrants for Payment

This marks the fifth consecutive year the City has received a donation from this anonymous donor.

FROM: Laura Aguilar, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 26-03, 26-04, 26-05, and 26-06 Approving City Council Liaison Appointments to Various Regional Boards, Commissions, and Associations
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve City Council liaisons and/or voting delegates to serve on various boards, commissions, and associations, and
2. Approve Resolution 26-03 designating a Voting Delegate and Alternate Voting Delegate to the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments, and

5. Approve Resolution 26-06 appointing Mayor Lowe and Mayor Pro Tem Goss to represent the City of Sierra Madre at the Los Angeles County Sanitation District.
SUMMARY
City Council liaison appointments are intended to ensure regular communication between the City Council and various commissions, boards, and regional organizations, and to ensure the City’s interests are represented in inter-jurisdictional and regional public policy discussions.
Council liaisons attend meetings of their assigned bodies and report back to the City Council. If a primary liaison is unable to attend a meeting, an alternate Council Member may represent the City.
Consistent with past practice, the Mayor appoints City Council Members to serve as liaisons to commissions, boards, and organizations. These appointments are effective immediately and are for a one-year term.
Resolutions Considering City Council Liaison Appointments to Various Regional Boards, Commissions, and Associations
January 13, 2026
Certain appointments require formal authorization by resolution, including representation on the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments, the League of California Cities, the Southern California Association of Governments, and the Los Angeles County Sanitation District. Draft resolutions for these appointments are attached. It should be noted that the Los Angeles County Sanitation District requires the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem to serve as the City’s primary and alternate representatives.
STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
The appointment of liaisons to commissions, boards, and jurisdictional organizations is an element of Objective 4.2 of the Strategic Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed action does not constitute as a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), based on Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, as it can be determined with certainty that it will have no impact on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund as a result of the recommended action.

CITY OF
SIERRA MADRE STAFF REPORT
CITY CLERK’S OFFICE
DATE: January 13, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Laura Aguilar, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Report, Discussion, and Direction on the 2026 City Council Meeting Schedule
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council discuss and provide direction on the 2026 calendar year City Council meeting schedule.
SUMMARY
Sierra Madre Municipal Code section 2.04.010 establishes that regular meetings of the City Council are held at 5:30 p.m. on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each calendar month, unless and until the City Council adopts a different regular meeting schedule by resolution.
Although not expressly addressed in the Municipal Code, the City Council has historically canceled one or two regular meetings during the summer months, as well as the second regular meetings in November and December. Consistent with this long-standing practice, the City Clerk’s Office is presenting the 2026 meeting schedule for City Council consideration, including potential cancellations during the summer and year-end holiday periods and the scheduling of a Special City Council Meeting in December for the annual reorganization.
DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
While the Municipal Code establishes the regular City Council meeting schedule, it does not address the cancellation of meetings. Historically, the City Council has exercised discretion to cancel select regular meetings during the summer months and during the year-end holiday season. These cancellations have traditionally allowed City Council Members, residents, and staff—many of whom have school-age children—to spend time with their families during periods when travel and scheduling constraints are more pronounced.
Most school districts begin their academic year in mid-August, which can limit the available timeframe for summer vacations. As a result, regularly scheduled City Council meetings in July and August may conflict with family travel plans and reduced community participation. 2026 City Council Meeting Schedule
January 13, 2026
The following regular City Council meetings are currently scheduled during the summer months of 2026:
July 14, 2026
July 28, 2026
August 11, 2026
August 25, 2026
In addition, the following regular City Council meetings are scheduled during the year-end holiday period:
November 24, 2026 (Thanksgiving is November 26, 2026) December 22, 2026 (Christmas is December 25, 2026)
The City Council also traditionally conducts its annual reorganization in December, including the selection of a Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem for the upcoming calendar year. This meeting is typically ceremonial in nature and often includes presentations from local and regional legislative leaders.
To maintain this tradition while accommodating the holiday schedule, the City Clerk recommends scheduling a Special City Council Meeting on December 15, 2026, for the purpose of conducting the annual City Council reorganization.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed action does not constitute as a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), based on Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, as it can be determined with certainty that it will have no impact on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund as a result of the recommended action.
