RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council adopt Resolution No. 26- 009, adding provisions for dental and vision opt-out benefits.

o The unit employee had coverage through another (non-City) benefit plan prior to open enrollment (e.g. spouse's coverage through another employer) and must waive any liability to the City for their decisions to cease coverage under the City's dental and vision plans.
o Employees and their dependents will only be eligible to reinstate their coverage during open enrollment periods or upon loss of other coverage as permitted by a qualifying event within 60-day period of such an event. o Dental and vision opt-outs will take place each fall during Open Enrollment and will be effective from January 1st to December 31st of each year.

26-010, UPDATING THE PROVISIONS OF BASIC LIFE
INSURANCE BENEFITS
SUMMARY: Consideration and approval of Resolution No. 26-010, updating the provisions of basic life insurance benefits.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council adopt Resolution No. 26- 010, updating the provisions of basic life insurance benefits.
FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact is $698 monthly, or $8,376 annual premium difference.
DISCUSSION: The City provides basic life insurance coverage to employees at one-time (1x) an employee's annual earnings with a threshold of $200,000. Benefit begins to reduce to 65% at age 65, 50% at age 70, and 35% at age 75. Because the law in California sets the compensation of elected officials (See Attachment A regarding SB 329), the City of South El Monte's elected officials' basic life insurance at the (1x) an employee's annual earnings also gets limited to approximately $50,000, or much lower than other City employees. Also, most surrounding cities provide fixed basic life insurance benefits rather than one that varies based on salary.
In order to give the City of South El Monte's elected officials' basic life insurance coverage equal to what the City's executives receive, and to fix them by employee category, staff recommends City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-010 (Attachment B), updating the provisions of basic life insurance benefits as follows (See Attachment C, Basic Plan 11):
City Council $200,000
Executives $200,000
SEMEMTA $150,000
SEMEA $100,000
The proposed effective date is July 1, 2026. Also, the above basic life insurance is portable, meaning an employee can choose to keep their coverage upon separation, by submitting a form and continuing to pay their premium within 31 days of separation (See Attachment D and E).

SB-329 Cities: city council members: compensation. (2023-2024)
Senate Bill No. 329
CHAPTER 27
An act to amend Section 36516 of the Government Code, relating to local government. [ Approved by Governor June 29, 2023. Filed with Secretary of State June 29, 2023. ]
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 329, Dodd. Cities: city council members: compensation.
Existing law authorizes a city council to enact an ordinance to provide each member of the city council a salary based upon the population of the city, as specified. Existing law authorizes that amount to be increased by the city council by an amount that does not exceed 5% for each calendar year from the operative date of the last adjustment of the salary that is in effect when the increase is enacted. Existing law provides for the procedures by which a city may enact ordinances.
This bill would increase the maximum amount of salary, based upon the population of the city, that may be approved by an ordinance passed by the city council, as specified. The bill would authorize the salary of council members to be increased beyond the specified maximums to an amount not exceeding the greater of either 5% for each calendar year from the operative date of the last adjustment of the salary in effect when the ordinance or amendment is enacted, or an amount equal to inflation since January 1, 2024, based upon the California Consumer Price Index, which shall not exceed 10% for each calendar year. The bill would require the city council to consider the adoption of an ordinance to increase council member compensation in open session during at least 2 regular meetings of the city council.
Vote: majority Appropriation: no Fiscal Committee: no Local Program: no THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) The compensation schedule for general law cities has not been adjusted since 1984, meaning that city council compensation has not kept pace with inflation.
(b) Allowing cities to adjust their compensation for inflation since 1984 may help city councils become more diverse because increased compensation can help individuals from across different income levels receive sufficient income from their service to help ensure that they can continue to serve the public and support their families.
SEC. 2. Section 36516 of the Government Code is amended to read:

Life and AD&D Insurance
Handling a Life insurance claim takes a special touch. All of our Life benefits employees complete annual grief training helping them to empathize with beneficiaries and recognize when they need special attention. And we're focused on settling claims quickly: Our median calculation turnaround time in 2023 was 2 days for clean claims and 3 days for all claims (internal company data as of January 2024).

About This Employee Benefits Proposal
We appreciate the opportunity to provide you with this benefit and cost summary proposal from The Standard. This document outlines certain important features of the group insurance coverages available. This is not a contract or an offer to contract for such coverages.
Detailed information about other important features of the coverage proposed is available on request. Just ask your broker/consultant or your representative at The Standard.
A completed application must be submitted before a group can be considered for coverage. Insurance will be effective after the application is accepted by The Standard. If approved, we will issue a contract containing our customary language. It will not duplicate policy language from another carrier. The group contract will contain provisions and defined terms not described in this Employee Benefits Proposal. The group contract will control if there are discrepancies between it and this proposal.
This benefit and cost summary proposal expires on May 5, 2026, unless replaced or withdrawn by The Standard.
The proposed premium rate and plan design for each coverage are based on the underwriting data received by The Standard. Final premium rates and plan provisions will be determined by The Standard on the basis of: applicable state laws, policyholder contributions, confirmation of occupations, the actual composition of the group of persons who will become insured and our current underwriting rules and practices.

900 SW Fifth Avenue Portland OR 97204 Group Life Portability Insurance Request INSTRUCTIONS – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Portability Of Insurance
You may be eligible to buy portable Group Life Insurance if your employment with your employer terminates. If your employer’s Group Life Insurance plan includes Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) and/or Dependents Insurance, you may also be eligible to buy those coverages.
To be eligible, you must meet the following requirements:
1. You must have been continuously insured under your employer’s Group Life Insurance plan for at least 12 consecutive months on the date your employment terminates.
2. You must be able to perform with reasonable continuity the material duties of at least one gainful occupation for which you are reasonably fitted by education, training and experience on the date your employment terminates.
3. You must be under age 75 on the date your employment terminates.
4. If you do not buy Life Insurance for yourself, you may not purchase any other insurance coverages.
The minimum and maximum amounts of insurance eligible for Portability Of Insurance are shown in your employer’s Group Life Insurance plan. The amounts of insurance you purchase under the Portability Of Insurance provision cannot be increased.
NOTE: Refer to the Right To Convert provision in your employer’s Group Life Insurance plan for information regarding eligibility to convert to an individual life insurance policy. The combined amounts of insurance you purchase under the Portability Of Insurance provision and insurance you convert may not exceed the amount for which you or your Dependents were insured on the day before your employment terminates. You may also wish to contact an independent insurance agent to discuss other alternatives.
How to Apply
You must apply in writing and pay the first premium to us within 31 days after the date your employment terminates. This packet has two forms: one for you and one for your employer. You are responsible for making sure all required forms are completed and returned to our office. Processing will begin when both fully-completed forms and all applicable enrollment forms are received by us. If you have questions, please contact our office at the phone number shown above.

Premium rates may be changed by Standard Insurance Company (The Standard) with advance written notice. Approved requests will be billed quarterly (every three months). Checks are to be made payable to The Standard. Premium must be received by the due date.
If your request is approved, you will receive a Group Life Portability Insurance certificate which will provide a complete description of coverage. The Group Life Portability Insurance certificate will contain provisions that will be different from your employer’s Group Life Insurance plan.
Please note:
Approved amounts will be reduced or terminated according to the terms of the Group Life Portability Insurance Policy.
Group Life Portability Insurance ends automatically on the earliest of:
1. The date it would otherwise end under the Group Life Portability Insurance Policy.
2. The date the last period ends for which we received the required payment.
3. The date the Group Life Portability Insurance Policy terminates.
4. The date you become a full-time member of the armed forces of any country.
5. For any AD&D Insurance:
a. The date you reach age 75.
b. The date your Life Insurance ends.
6. For any Spouse Insurance, the date of your divorce or legal separation.

8. For any Dependents Insurance:

Beneficiary Designation
Beneficiary designations that you made under your employer’s Group Life Insurance plan will not apply to Group Life Portability Insurance.

DISCUSSION: A conditional use permit (CUP 25-07) was approved by the Planning Commission on May 27, 2025 for a new up to six tenant strip center including a new 3,886 square foot In-N-Out located a t 1223 Santa Anita Ave. A request for up to $2 Million was submitted on October 2, 2025 by the property ownership for the City to purchase infrastructure upfront for utilities and an ~100-foot high pylon sign associated with a new up to six tenant strip center including a new 3,886 square foot In-N-Out located at 1223 Santa Anita Ave. Per discussions with the property owner’s representative and In-N-Out, the property owner is responsible to provide a pylon sign for In-N-Out at 75 feet in height with no City name or logo with costs estimated between $250,000 to $550,000.
While In-N-Out would likely be partially visible from the 60 freeway, other tenants will be less visible at this maximum 75-foot height. Other signs in the area range in height from 75 to 100 feet for freeway visibility (e.g., former Ramada, Mobile, Chevron, Starbucks).
In order to assist in the City's branding and marketing efforts, staff is recommending that the City Council execute a license agreement with the property ownership in an amount not to exceed $800,000 for the City name and logo to be at a style and location preferred by the City Council with the agreement and terms to be further discussed at a subsequent City Council meeting. As a result, the City gains branding and marketing value. For a freeway-oriented pylon sign in the San Gabriel Valley (SGV), an anchor tenant should
expect to pay a monthly fee ranging from $1,200 to $2,500 for "billboard real estate" excluding set up costs (as much as $10,000). Assume a three percent annual increase of a signage fee at $2000 per month, if the City spends $800,000 on the pylon sign with its’ name and logo prominently located in lieu of payment of a monthly fee, the City should expect a full return on its’ investment (break-even point) by 2050 or sooner. The property ownership will pay the electricity and maintenance (CAMs) and share revenue if any until the sign expenditures by the City is fully reimbursed. This investment secures a permanent, high-visibility branding "gateway" of the City’s name and logo on top of the proposed pylon sign that generates over 100 million freeway impressions annually, providing the City with a strategic media value that stimulates regional economic development and civic identity.
Property ownership provided the City with four cost estimates as follows:
• Studio ADS: $850,000 labor and materials + $4,500 design • Megahertz: $1,667,569.26 all costs
• Western Sign Company: $958,000 labor and materials + $10,500 design • National Sign: $800,000 all costs
A summary of the sign alternatives and cost estimates will be presented to the City Council during the presentation of this item by City staff.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 10.j.
DATE: February 17, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
APPROVED BY: Rene Salas, City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Ariana De La Cruz, Director of Community Services SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF COMMUNITY MURAL
DESIGN FOR THE UPCOMING MAJOR SPORTING EVENTS
SUMMARY: Staff is requesting City Council's approval of a proposed mural design intended to support the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup and LA28 Summer Olympics public viewing events hosted by the City of South El Monte. The mural will serve as a visual backdrop for community gatherings including the City's Night Market Series, and is designed to promote civic pride, global unity, and athletic excellence while remaining compliant with intellectual property guidelines.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council discuss and provide direction on the proposed community mural design.
FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: Staff has acquired two quotes:
1. Art Not Drugs at $12,000.
2. Manny Linx at $11,000.
DISCUSSION: The City of South El Monte is preparing to host a series of public viewing events to engage residents and visitors during the major international sporting events in Summer 2026 and Summer 2028. These events are intended to create shared community experiences, activate public spaces, and celebrate the global nature of sports in a way that is inclusive and accessible to the community.
As part of this effort, staff identified an opportunity to enhance the event environment through the installation of a large-scale mural in a highly visible location within the Night Market Series location. The proposed size of this mural is 80 ft. long x 20 ft. high. The mural is intended to function as both a peacemaking element and a long-term public art feature that reflects the City's role as a host for community-centered viewing events tied to global athletic competition.
The original mural rendering was created by a professional muralist and served as the
foundation for the overall concept and composition. Following the creation of the initial rendering, staff conducted an internal review to ensure the design aligned with City branding standards, event goals, and intellectual property considerations related to FIFA and the Olympic Games. Based on this review, the proposed mural design presented to the City Council is a staff-led redesign of the original rendering. The redesign retains the overall theme and visual impact while simplifying elements and removing any protected logos or symbols. The final design prominently features the City of South El Monte seal with sun rays, dynamic athletic imagery, and symbolic elements representing the San Gabriel Valley and Los Angeles as well as international participation.
The concept of the mural was discussed and approved by the City's internal Olympic Committee as part of the planning efforts for these public viewing events. The mural will enhance a high-traffic community gathering area, support City-hosted events, and provide a lasting visual representation of South El Monte's participation in globally significant sporting moments.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 10.l.
DATE: February 17, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
APPROVED BY: Rene Salas, City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: David De Vries, Director of Economic Development SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF COMMUNITY MURAL
DESIGN FOR THE CITY HALL ENTRY WALL WEST OF
CENTRAL AVE
SUMMARY: Staff is requesting City Council select and approve a preferred alternative mural design to create an artistic gateway along Central Avenue visible to vehicles and pedestrians. The mural will serve as a visual landmark to welcome visitors and community members and is designed to promote civic pride, tourism, and community excellence while remaining compliant with intellectual property guidelines.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council discuss and provide direction on the proposed community mural design.
FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: Staff has been provided an invoice from Art Not Drugs for $4,710 for the completion of the mural and anti-graffiti coating.
DISCUSSION: As part of the City’s ongoing beautification and placemaking efforts, a prime location has been identified for a large-scale mural situated west of Central Avenue at the primary entrance to City Hall. The proposed "gateway" mural will measure 18' wide by 10' tall on an existing concrete wall. The project is intended to function as a visual anchor for the City Hall, library and aquatic center campus, providing a professional and welcoming aesthetic for those entering the heart of the City’s municipal operations visible to vehicles and pedestrians. The mural is designed to promote civic pride, tourism, and community excellence while remaining compliant with intellectual property guidelines.
The initial three concept alternatives or the mural were developed by a professional muralist in collaboration with City staff to ensure the design met City branding standards and local aesthetic goals. These alternatives ensure that the artwork functions effectively as a "Gateway" sign while maintaining a high level of artistic integrity. Key features of the final design include:
1. Primary Text: The name "South El Monte" is featured prominently as a gateway identifier.
2. Local and Regional Context: Symbolic elements representing the City of South El Monte and the San Gabriel Valley and the Los Angeles regions.
The concept was discussed and vetted by the City staff internally as part of a broader effort to activate public spaces. By placing this mural at the City Hall entrance, the City is:
1. Enhancing a high-traffic area: Improving the visual experience for residents accessing City services.
2. Creating a sense of place: Establishing a clear "Gateway" identity for South El Monte's civic center.
3. Providing a lasting legacy: Offering a visual representation of the community's pride in a regional context within the wider cultural landscape of Southern California.
Examples of the muralist past work, the three alternatives and photographs of the proposed location will be provided during the City Council presentation.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 10.m.
DATE: February 17, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
APPROVED BY: Rene Salas, City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: David De Vries, Director of Economic Development SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO. 26-011, AUTHORIZING
THE FUNDING OF WATER MAIN EXTENSION ON SANTA
ANITA AVENUE AND PAYMENT OF $510,000 TO SAN
GABRIEL VALLEY WATER COMPANY AND APPROVING A
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE CITY
AND SANTA ANITA COMMERCIAL GROUP LLC
ESTABLISHING REIMBURSEMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR
THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1127-1223 SANTA ANITA
AVENUE ("PROPERTY")
SUMMARY: The City has identified the Santa Anita Avenue corridor as a priority area for economic revitalization. The proposed development at 1127-1223 Santa Anita Avenue, which includes a new In-N-Out Burger and up to five additional tenant spaces, requires significant off-site water infrastructure improvements to meet modern fire flow and domestic capacity standards. To facilitate this project, the City will provide an upfront payment of $510,000.00 directly to the San Gabriel Valley Water Company (SGVWC).
To protect the public’s investment, the City is entering into an MOU with the property owner, Santa Anita Commercial Group, LLC, requiring that any future refunds issued by SGVWC be paid back to the City until the full $510,000.00 is recouped.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 26-011, authorizing the funding of water main extension on Santa Anita Avenue and payment of $510,000 to San Gabriel Valley Water Company and approving a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and Santa Anita Commercial Group LLC establishing reimbursement requirements for the property located at1127-1223 Santa Anita Avenue ("Property"); and
2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to negotiate and execute the MOU.
FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City will provide payment to SGVWC in the amount of $510,000.00 with any reimbursements from SGVWC to Applicant or Owner or its
successors in Interest to be payable to the City until the amount up to $510,000.00 is reimbursed in full.
DISCUSSION: A conditional use permit (CUP 25-07) was approved by the Planning Commission on May 27, 2025 for a new up to six tenant strip center including a new 3,886 square foot In-N-Out located at 1223 Santa Anita Ave. A request for up to $2 Million was submitted on October 2, 2025 by the property ownership for the City to purchase infrastructure upfront for utilities and an ~100-foot high pylon sign associated with a new up to six tenant strip center including a new 3,886 square foot In-N-Out located at 1223 Santa Anita Ave. City staff has evaluated the request and recommends City support on the an Gabriel Valley Water Company (SGVWC) water main extension (SGVWC Job No. 10440L) which is located within the public right-of-way and provides broader community benefits beyond the individual parcel.
The project provides three primary public benefits:
1. Public Safety: Enhances fire suppression capabilities along the Santa Anita corridor.
2. Infrastructure Modernization: Replaces or extends lines to meet current standards for future infill development.
3. Economic Growth: Enables the completion of a six-tenant commercial center, generating long-term sales tax and property tax revenue.
The total estimated cost for the water main extension is $551,870.00. City staff proposes that the City contribute $510,000.00, with the payment made directly to SGVWC. This ensures the funds are used exclusively for the specified utility infrastructure. Reimbursement to the City under the SGVWC "5E" Agreement, water utilities often issue "Rule 15" refunds to the applicant over several years as new customers connect to the system. A memorandum of understanding (MOU) is proposed to ensure that the Owner and any Successors in Interest are legally obligated to remit these refunds back to the City. This mechanism ensures that the City’s contribution acts as an "advance" for infrastructure that may eventually be repaid by the utility’s revenuesharing model.
The City Attorney has reviewed the Resolution and the proposed MOU as to form. All construction activities must comply with State Prevailing Wage laws. Public Works Designation & Benefit Per California Labor Code Section 1720, this project is classified as a Public Work because it involves construction in the public right-of-way using public funds.

South El Monte Council
Dear City Council,
The South El Monte National Little League is a non-profit organization that has been serving the city of South El Monte and its residents since 1961. The league is run by 100% volunteers consisting of parents/people of the community. In our program, the children learn teamwork, how to deal with pressure, maintain positive attitudes and how to play by the rules. These are all very important social skills and traits the children can apply to other areas of their life. These core values that the children learn in our program will help them become successful citizens later in life.
We appreciate all the support that the city has provided our program in the past and ask for your continued support to our league, and most importantly, to the community of South El Monte. We understand that costs for anything these days are high and we are trying to keep our registration costs low for the sake of our community. Because of this, we would like to request your assistance with allowing our program to use the city facilities, along with the lights, the work of putting up and taking down the fences, as well as the preparations of the fields to not cost.
We are grateful for your continued support of our league and we hope to see you at our Opening Day for the 2026 Season!
Thank you again for your ongoing support.
Cristina Rodriguez – President
South El Monte National Little League
