Therefore, the proposed action is not a “project” subject to CEQA, as defined in Section 21065 of CEQA and Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines.

APPLICATIONS FOR GRANT FUNDS FROM THE LOS

ANGELES COUNTY REGIONAL PARK AND OPEN SPACE

DISTRICT FOR MEASURE A FUNDING FOR PROJECTS AND

PROGRAMS
SUMMARY: This resolution authorizes the City of South El Monte to apply for grant funding through the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD) under Measure A, which supports park, open space, and recreational projects and programs.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council approve Resolution No. 25- 102 which will provide the City Manager or designee with the authority to execute all necessary documents, agreements, and amendments related to Measure A-funded projects or programs.

FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal/financial impact associated with applying for grant funding.

DISCUSSION: This resolution authorizes the City of South El Monte to apply for grant funding through the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD) under Measure A, which supports park, open space, and recreational projects and programs.

Key points:
• Measure A (approved by voters in 2016) provides funding for local park and open space improvements.
• The RPOSD oversees and administers Measure A grants.

Page 34 of 117 ends

• The resolution gives the City blanket, also known as general, authority to submit future grant applications to RPOSD for Measure A funds, rather than requiring separate City Council approvals for each project.
• The City certifies it will comply with all grant assurances and requirements. • The City Manager, or designee, is authorized to execute all necessary documents, agreements, and amendments related to Measure A-funded projects or programs.

The purpose of this resolution will be to streamline the City’s ability to pursue and manage Measure A grant opportunities for park and open space enhancements without repeated Council actions.

25-103 APPROVING THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE

AGREEMENT FOR CONTRACT SERVICES WITH MNS
ENGINEERS, INC. TO ADMINISTER THE CALHOME OWNEROCCUPIED HOME REPAIR PROGRAM AND THE FIRST-TIME

HOMEBUYER PROGRAM
SUMMARY: On February 18, 2025 City Council awarded an Agreement for Contract Services to MNS Engineers, Inc. as the responsive, responsible bidder to administer and implement the CalHome Owner-Occupied Home Repair Program and the First Time Homebuyer Program.

Approving and allocating funds for eligible housing projects is an administrative action that would not cause either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Therefore, the proposed action is not a “project” subject to CEQA, as defined in Section 21065 of CEQA and Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Since the action is not a project subject to CEQA, no environmental document is required.

FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: There will be no financial impact on the City. The CalHome Owner-Occupied Home Repair and First-Time Homebuyer Programs will be funded with CalHome Reuse Funds to immediately finance program implementation,

Page 38 of 117 ends

ensuring no delay in program operations. The agreement with MNS Engineers, Inc. includes a not-to-exceed (NTE) amount of 10% of the grant ($200,000) for the OwnerOccupied Home Repair Program and 20% of the grant ($120,000) for the First-Time Homebuyer Program, all of which will be covered by the CalHome Reuse Fund available from 2010, 2011 and 2014, based on the data from Housing and Community Development (HCD) from the CalHome Reuse Fund. The adopted Fiscal Year 2025- 2026 budget includes the Reuse Fund, which has a balance of $734,055.

The $320,000 in administrative costs will be allocated to MNS Engineers, Inc over a three-year term. The consultant selected to administer the programs will ensure proper compliance, efficient program implementation, and streamlined processing of applications.

DISCUSSION: The City entered into an Agreement for Contract Servicers with MNS Engineering, Inc. on February 18, 2025, to administer the CalHome Owner-Occupied Home Repair and First-Time Homebuyer programs. However, it was later discovered that the Agreement contained an error, citing an incorrect funding source. The purpose of this amendment is to remove that funding source reference. MNS will continue to assist the City with the Owner Occupied Repair Assistance Program and First-Time Homebuyer Program.

This Agreement will allow the City to maximize the use of CalHome funding, ensuring low-income homeowners receive critical rehabilitation assistance and first-time homebuyers have access to mortgage assistance opportunities. By amending this Agreement with MNS Engineers, Inc., the City will be able to efficiently implement, track, and manage the CalHome Owner-Occupied Home Repair and First-Time Homebuyer Programs, providing critical financial assistance to eligible households while maintaining compliance with State and Federal funding guidelines.

In addition to the City loan approval, the property must pass an inspection for lead- based paint hazards and building/health and safety code deficiencies. If a homebuyer is eligible and their home passes inspection, MNS will notify the Homebuyer and Realtor.

Updates with the City of South El Monte
MNS proposes bi-weekly meetings with the City of South El Monte’s Community Development Analyst to keep staff updated on all related projects in this proposal. We believe that regularly scheduled meetings with clients offer full transparency during the Home Rehabilitation and First Time Homebuyer programs process. Additionally, it allows MNS to course correct and quickly identify any potential issues that may arise during the process.

Fee Proposal
MNS will provide the services described in the Scope of Services, in an amount not to exceed $45,750 as follows:

City of South El Monte Fee Proposal
Task Fee
Owner Occupied Home Repair Program $ 14,280
First-Time Homebuyer Program $ 17,460
Downpayment Assistance $ 14,010
Total $ 45,750
This total fee for this proposal is fully burdened. Requested services outside the scope of work will be billed on a time and material basis. The fee proposal will have a 5% year-over-year increase for the duration of the three-year contract.

COUNCIL MEETING - UPDATE ON CANNABIS BUFFER

ZONE MAPS
SUMMARY: Cannabis Buffer Zone Alternatives
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends the City Council review the provided maps and provide staff direction to maintain the current or modify the buffer zone and eligible zones for retail commercial cannabis operations within the South El Monte Municipal Code.

FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: No Anticipated Fiscal Impact
DISCUSSION:

On November 8, 2022, the voters of South El Monte approved Measure CM, which led to the adoption of Ordinance No. 1260. This ordinance added Chapter 5.26 to Title 5 of the South El Monte Municipal Code to allow for the permitting and regulation of retail commercial cannabis operation within the City, allowing for the future issuance of a maximum of three retailer commercial cannabis operation permits. On September 26, 2023, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1268, amending Chapter 5.26 to Title 5 of the South El Monte Municipal Code.

Currently, the City of South El Monte only allows for cannabis retail as a permitted use within the C (Commercial) and C-M (Commercial Manufacturing) zones, including any overlay zone districts covering the C or C-M zones. Additionally, the South El Monte Municipal Code currently includes a buffer requirement that cannabis retailers be located at least 1,000 feet from the following (“sensitive uses”):
• Other Cannabis Retail Operations
• Alcohol or Drug Treatment Facility
• Day Care Centers
• Religious Institutions

Page 96 of 117 ends

• Schools
• Youth Centers
• City Jurisdictional Boundary
• Residential Zoned Properties
• Parks
Pursuant to California Business and Professions Code Section 26054(b), state law sets 600-foot buffers from schools, daycare centers, and youth centers, but allows local jurisdictions to specify different buffer requirements.

At the March 18th City Council Meeting, staff was directed to provide different variations of the Cannabis Retailer Buffer map showing alternative buffer distances as well as the inclusion of Manufacturing Zoned lots.

The attached maps display the lots that would be eligible for cannabis retailer use if the City amends its permitted zoning for cannabis retailers to add Manufacturing under the current 1,000 buffer requirement, and potential reduced buffers of 900, 800, 700, and 600 feet. The pink lots represent the Commercial-Manufacturing zoned lots and the blue parcels represent the Manufacturing zoned lots.

Additionally, staff provided an alternative map that would maintain the current 1,000-foot buffer from all existing sensitive uses except for jurisdictional boundaries, the buffer for which would change to 350 feet. It is important to note that jurisdictional boundaries are not sensitive uses under State law, nor commonly designated as a sensitive use by other local jurisdictions. Reducing the buffer from the jurisdictional boundary while maintaining the 1,000 foot buffer from all other sensitive uses designated under Chapter 5.26 would allow for 23 possible Commercial Manufacturing Zoned sites and 82 Manufacturing Zoned sites, allowing for eligible sites along the southwestern portion of the city, where the prominent uses are manufacturing/industrial operating businesses.

The table below shows the number of parcels that could be available if Manufacturing was added as an eligible zone, broken down in each zone for each alternative buffer requirement.

Only cannabis retailers issued a valid commercial cannabis operation permit, among other approvals, are allowed to operate in the City. The City has not yet issued any commercial cannabis operation permits. The City is currently working with a consultant who will assist in evaluating future cannabis applicants to ensure that the most suitable operator is chosen to do business within the City of South El Monte.

DATE: November 18, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
APPROVED BY: Rene Salas, City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Eric Diaz, Senior Executive Assistant
SUBJECT: LETTER FROM EPIPHANY CATHOLIC CHURCH

REQUESTING A FEE WAIVER FOR A TEMPORARY USE

PERMIT AND CITY STAFF TIME FOR THEIR ANNUAL OUR

LADY OF GUADALUPE PROCESSIONS
SUMMARY: Epiphany Church is requesting a fee waiver for a Temporary Use Permit (TUP) and for City staff time dedicated to public safety support during its annual "Our Lady of Guadalupe" processions, scheduled from Tuesday, December 2, 2025, through Thursday, December 11, 2025.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council to discuss and consider approving the fee waiver request submitted by Epiphany Catholic Church, totaling $3,776.31.

FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact of this action is a total waiver of $3,776.31, which includes two components: $1,250 for the Temporary Use Permit (TUP) fee and $2,526.31 for City personnel labor costs dedicated to public safety support.

DISCUSSION: Epiphany Catholic Church will host an annual pilgrimage for parishioners in celebration of "Our Lady of Guadalupe." This year’s nine-day event will take place from December 2, 2025, to December 11, 2025. The pilgrimage walk will begin each day at approximately 5:00 p.m. and conclude around 7:00 p.m., covering various streets for up two hours. In support of these processions, Epiphany is requesting a fee waiver for the Temporary Use Permit and the public safety staff time required. The event will be supported by two to three officers for 1 to 2.5 hours each evening at a rate of $55 per hour, resulting in a daily cost range of $110 to $462.

The work schedules of public safety and code enforcement officers will be adjusted to minimize overtime when feasible, in order to implement a traffic detail plan that provides a safe route and ensures participant safety. Epiphany Church has completed and submitted a Temporary Use Permit application in compliance with the City's Municipal Code, along with a certificate of liability insurance naming the City as additionally insured.

The permit includes specific conditions the church must follow to remain in compliance.

1. Safety Measures in the Lexington-Gallatin Neighborhood Adjacent to Whittier Narrows Picnic Area.

2. El Monte/South El Monte Emergency Resources Association.

SUMMARY:

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT:

DISCUSSION: 1) Safety Measures in the Lexington-Gallatin Neighborhood Adjacent to Whittier Narrows Picnic Area
Discussion/Action:

1. Evaluate and place stop signs at appropriate corners in the neighborhood.

2. Evaluate the placement of speed bumps to curb vehicular speeding.

3. Evaluate and place measures to control early morning traffic due to student dropoff.

4. Evaluate and clearly delineate South El Monte City and Los Angeles County jurisdiction on Lexington-Gallatin Road.

5. Place measures to reduce and prevent illegal dumping on Lexington-Gallatin Road
2) El Monte/South El Monte Emergency Resources Association Discussion/Action: In the January 13, 2025 city council meeting, a request of $35,000 to the El Monte/South El Monte Emergency Resources Association headquartered in El Monte, California, and was approved by the majority of the council. Another request of $40,000 was made in the November 4, 2025 city council meeting. And after debate, the majority of the city council decided to reduce the amount to $20,000; the reduced amount was approved by the majority of the city council without a contingency of financial disclosure. During the discussion, several points were raised. One point in particular, it

Page 116 of 117 ends

was mentioned that this organization had a food pantry on site, assumingly at 10900 Mulhal Street in El Monte, CA. After the council meeting, several residents attempted to obtain food at this site, and were sent to another site. And when they arrived at the second site, they were told that food is handed-out on a particular time and day of the week.

Another point made during the discussion was there is an executive board that governs over the ERA, but their identity was unknown. Several internet searches also don’t reveal or mention an executive board. And lastly, it is still unclear how the money is being spent.

In the January 27, 2025 city council meeting placed financial conditions on the $35,000 given to the ERA, setting a contingent that the money should only be used for South El Monte residents seeking emergency relief and financial assistance. Several items are still not clear, and need to be clarified.

1. When and where is food handed-out by the ERA?

2. How can residents get this information quickly? The number listed on the website (626) 444-7269 does not get answered right away.

3. Who is on the executive board of the ERA? And how are they selected/appointed?

4. Why has the financial report, disclosing how the money is spent, not been submitted to the city council?
