12. COUNCILMEMBERS' AGENDA

12.a. MAYOR GLORIA OLMOS

1. That with this new Arts District coming in, no Mayor or Councilmember can have any type of affiliation or any type of business for self or family members for up to at least two years of being out of their elected position. To prevent any conflict of interest.

Discussion topics included how councilmembers are already restricted on using their public office to influence decisions or benefit their own businesses, that there are already State laws that cover this topic citywide for up to a year after an official leaves office, and this item would have come back at a future meeting to make it more stringent and to apply it specifically to the Arts District.

Received and filed.

2. Create steps with the grass area instead of leveling out the grassy area where the pools are to accommodate a safer area.

Discussion topics included steps creating another slip and fall liability, if any other document incidents exist, the safety of having steps to go up a hill, concerns with skateboarders, reviewing costs to add steps or a ramp, and discussing potential additional hazard issues with the insurance company.

Received and filed.

3. It was brought to my attention that a Councilmember is no longer living in our city. He's renting out his home. Send out notice of the rules they must live in South El Monte not just own to rent out.

Discussion topics included confirming which councilmember is alleged to no longer reside in the city, issues with rumors and hearsay making it to the agenda, prior history on the same topic regarding a commissioner not residing in the City, addressing the issue prior to reaching the agenda, warnings of slander, invasion of privacy and encouragement of monitoring councilmembers daily schedules, and having the City Attorney send out the letter on rules of residence.

Received and filed.

12.b. COUNCILMEMBER HECTOR DELGADO

1. Action/discussion/direction on placing before our voters in the November 2026 Election, consideration of having term limits or limiting terms (4 or 5) for our City Council/Mayor.

Page 11 of 13 ends

COUNCILMEMBERS' AGENDA (CONTINUED)
Item 12.b.1.

Discussion topics included term limits used as a tool to engage communities in transparency, to cut down on corruption, as opportunities for new ideas and new people to come to the table, options other cities use, councilmembers can self -impose term limits by not running, voters can impose term limits by not reelecting councilmembers, agreeing with cool -off periods before being able to run again, residents have voiced this for some time, supporting four terms to allow time to complete projects, and the cost to include the measure on the ballot.

Motion by Councilmember Delgado, seconded by Councilmember Acosta, to place a ballot measure for the voters to decide on a four four- year terms limit with a lifetime ban after that four -term. Motion passed 5- 0, by the following vote:

AYES: Councilmember(s):

NAYS: Councilmember(s):

ABSENT: Councilmember(s):

Acosta, Delgado, Rodriguez, Mayor
Pro Tem Bojorquez, and Mayor Olmos
None
None

2. Action/discussion/direction on placing before our voters in the November 2026 Election, consideration of going back to having a rotating mayorship.

Discussion topics included that mayorship in the City was rotating since incorporation in 1958, mayorship was changed to an elected position in the 2000s, going back to rotating mayorship reserves the council as coequals as a whole equal body, avoids separate mayoral election costs, the title is ceremonial, addresses complacency, corruption, and conflict of interest issues, current FPPC violation cases, active investigations, and lawsuits, building trust back in the mayorship, taking away the voters right to choose their mayor, challenging each other for mayorship through votes, council bullying through majority votes, Democratic principles, the structure of similar small cities having a ceremonial Mayor with equal power versus larger cities having elected Mayors with executive power, most cities default to rotating mayor because it's not an executive role, voters might decide to keep mayorship the way it is, and majority vote has been blocking certain individuals from the Mayor Pro Tem role.

Motion by Councilmember Delgado, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Bojorquez, to place a ballot measure for the voters to decide on going back to rotating mayor. Motion passed 3-2, by the following vote:

AYES: Councilmember(s): Delgado, Rodriguez, and Mayor Pro Tem Bojorquez
NAYS: Councilmember(s): Acosta, and Mayor Olmos
ABSENT: Councilmember(s): None
