For the Regular Meeting of: April 28, 2026
Ori i i Department: Public Works
;,-' CityMariager: /4)ft.: l'es Rob Houston
SUBJECT: FISCAL YEAR 2026/27 STREET LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. I - RESOLUTIONS TO PRELIMINARILY

APPROVE THE ENGINEER'S REPORT, DECLARE THE CITY'S INTENTION TO

LEVY AND COLLECT ASSESSMENTS AND SET A PUBLIC HEARING PURPOSE: To adopt Resolutions to preliminarily approve the Engineer's Report, to declare the City of South Gate's ("City") intention to levy and collect assessments, and to set a public hearing.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Council will consider:
a. Adopting a Resolution preliminarily approving the Engineer's Report for the proceedings of the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Annual Levy and Collection of Assessments for the Street Lighting and Landscape Maintenance District No. 1; and b. Adopting a Resolution declaring the City's intention to levy and collect assessments under the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Annual Levy and Collection of Assessments within the Street Lighting and Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 and setting a Public Hearing for May 26, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of preparing the Engineer's Report is $8,660 and it will be funded with Street Lighting and Landscaping Funds budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Municipal Budget.

ANALYSIS: The assessment rate is set at $2.38 per adjusted front footage. Although the revenue from this assessment has remained the same for nearly three decades, the cost of maintaining the District has risen, creating a funding shortfall. For FY 2026/27, the revenue is estimated at $1,993,942, while maintenance costs are estimated at $3,041,636, resulting in a budget deficit of $1,225,016.

In April 2016, the City Council authorized an analysis to explore ways to address the fiinding shortfall, including the possibility of raising the assessment rate through a Proposition 218 process, which requires property owner approval for any new or increased assessments. At that time, the consultant found that while raising the rate in the existing District could help, creating 1 152
new districts would be a more effective way to generate additional funds, and staff did not move forward with a Proposition 218 effort.

BACKGROUND: The District was established in 1981 and operates iu'ider the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (California Streets and Highways Code). This law provides the authority to levy an assessment on properties that receive a direct "special benefit" from public improvements, such as landscaping and street lighting. Since the District covers the entire City, the assessment is levied on all properties throughout the City.

To remain compliance with the rules of the district, District revenue can only be used to maintain and operate landscaping and lighting systems throughout the City and on City streets. This includes expenses for landscaping (trees, shrubs, grass, irrigation, and drainage) and lighting systems (streetlights, decorative fixtures, traffic signals, and related equipment), including labor and materials.

Each year, the District's assessments are levied and collected by the Los Angeles County Assessor's Office ("County") on behalf of the City through the property tax roll. In order for the County to levy and collect the assessments, the City Council must take certain actions required by the County and in accordance with applicable state law. The actions presented to the City Council are part of the annual proceedings necessary to authorize the County to place the assessments on the tax roll and collect them on behalf of the City.

On January 13, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2026-01-CC to initiate proceedings for FY 2026/27 and directed the preparation of the Engineer's Report. The next steps in the process can be completed by adopting the two proposed resolutions before the City Council, which will achieve the following:
* Declare the City's intention to levy and collect assessments in FY 2026/27 within the District;
* Set a public hearing for May 26, 2026. At that time, the City Council will, (a) consider and determine whether to levy the proposed annual assessment, and (b) hear all protests related to (i) said proposed proceedings, (ii) the estimate of the cost and expenses of the proposed maintenance, and/or (iii) the proposed annual assessment. Any and all persons interested may file a written protest prior to the conclusion of the hearing referred to herein; and
* Preliminarily approved the Engineer's Report which is the document required to set the amount of the assessment. The Engineer's Report contains a description of the District, District budget, an analysis of revenue needs, a benefit analysis, the total parcels located within the District, and the amount to be assessed.

The schedule for the proceedings is as follows:

Date City Council Action

4/28/2026 '1. Adopt Resolution preliminarily approving Engineer's Report. 2 153

5/26/2026 Conduct a public hearing and adopt a Resolution confirming the area boundary and ordering the levy of annual assessments.
8/07/2026 Deadline for filing assessment roll.

An Assessment District allows the City to charge a fee (assessment) to properties that benefit from public improvements, such as enhanced landscaping and street lighting. These public improvements are considered a special benefit to adjacent properties. Funding for maintenance and services comes from the annual assessments paid by property owners within the District. To continue collecting these assessments for FY 2026/27, the City must prepare an Engineer's Report annually and hold a public hearing, as required by the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972.

('lkantes Rob HoustonDepartment Director: !,)P;!r<turOerva"-ntes SUBJECT: AMENDMENTOFTHECITY'S"LOWIMPACTDEVELOPMENTTECHNICAI,

GUIDAJSJCE MANUAL FOR SMALL SITES PURSUANT TO SOUTH GATE MUNICIP AL CODE SECTION 6.67.030, SUBSECTION E.4.G.

PURPOSE: To modify the "Low Impact Development Technical Guidance Manual for Small Sites" in order to expand the current exemption for projects of 800 square feet or less to the larger, state-authorized exemption for projects of 5,000 square feet or less.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Council will consider adopting a Resolution to modify the Low Impact Development Technical Guidance Manual for Small Sites to expand the current exemption from the City's Low Impact Development (LID) Program forprojects of 800 square feet or less to the larger, state-authorized exemption for projects of 5,000 square feet or less.

FISCAL IMPACT: None.

ANALYSIS: TheCityacceptsdevelopmentapplicationsfornewdevelopmentandredevelopmentprojects.

Currently, projects involving soil disturbance of 800 square feet or more are required to comply with the City's Low Impact Development (LID) Program. This threshold is more stringent than the State requirement, which applies to projects involving 5,000 square feet or more of soil disturbance.

There is interest in revising the City's threshold to align with the State standard in order to streamline development review, reduce project costs, and make development in South Gate more attractive and affordable. Requiring LID compliance for smaller projects is o'ftennot cost-effective and canplace anundue burden on applicants. In addition, there is no clear direct benefit to the City from maintaining a more stringent local threshold, particularly when it may have the unintended effect of discouraging development.

Accordingly, staff recommends amending the City's LID threshold from 800 square feetto 5,000 square feet to align with State requirements.

BACKGROUND: The City operates under an MS4 Stormwater Permit ("Permit"), which regulates the discharge of stormwater runoff from the municipal separate storm sewer system and requires the City to implement programs to reduce pollutants in stormwater to the maximum extent practicable. t 161
The Permit requires the City to implement a Low Impact Development (LID) program. This program requires that new development and redevelopment projects incorporate design features that infiltrate, capture, treat, or reuse stormwater runoff to reduce pollutant loads and mimic natural hydrology.

The City's OrdinanceNo. 2310 establishes requirementsfor"Small SiteNewDevelopment/Redevelopment Pollutant Reduction," including the requirement to prepare and implement a Low Impact Development Technical Guidance Manual for Small Sites (LID Manual).

The City's LID Manual states that projects resulting in the creation, addition, or replacement of 800 square feet or more of impervious surface area must be designed to control pollutants in accordance with the Manual. Projects that trigger this threshold are required to prepare a LID Plan.

The State requires the City to implement an LID program; however, the State threshold for requiring LID measures is 5,000 square feet of impervious surface. It is unclear why South Gate adopted a more stringent local threshold of 800 square feet, but that lower threshold has proven to be burdensome on development projects and, in some cases, unnecessarily restrictive.

South Gate Municipal Code Section 6.67.030, subsection E.4.g, authorizes the City Council to adopt resolutions to modify the Manual and create or modify exceptions thereto. The City Council is therefore authorized to modify the Manual to increase the exception threshold from 800 square feet to 5,000 square feet. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution to increase that threshold.

AGENDA JBNLL
For the Regular Meeting of: April 28, 2026
Originating Department: Public Works
SUBJECT: APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS TO REESTABLISH THE BUDGET FOR SERVICES PROVIDED BY PARKWOOD LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE, INC.

PURPOSE: To appropriate fiu'ids to reestablish the budget originally programmed in Fiscal Year 2024/25 as necessary to process final payment for previously rendered landscape maintenance services performed by Parkwood Landscape Maintenance, Inc.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City Council will consider appropriating $26,202 in Gas Tax Funds, $8,369 in Proposition A Funds, $9,754 in Street Lighting Funds, $13,803 in Water Funds, and $1,310 in Measure R Funds to reestablish the budget needed to process final payment for previously rendered landscape maintenance services performed by Parkwood Landscape Maintenance, Inc. in Fiscal Year 2024/25.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no impact to the General Fund. Appropriations totaling $59,438 are needed to fully fund and process final payment associated with landscape maintenance services previously provided but not paid because of a dispute. The recommended appropriations are proposed to be 'Junded with $26,202 in Gas Tax Funds, $8,369 in Proposition A Funds, $9,754 in Street Lighting Funds, $13,803 in Water Funds, and $1,310 in Measure R Funds. This :tunding scheme aligns with the Fiscal Year 2024/25 budget programmed for these services, which is shown below.

Fund Account FY24/25 Budget Total
Gas Tax 212-713-31-6101 $168,892 $26,202

Measure R 224-780-31-6101 !58,444 $1,310
Total $383,128 $59,438
ANAI,YSIS: During the course of the landscape maintenance agreement with Parkwood Landscape Maintenance, Inc., services were performed for the maintenance of landscape medians and public right-of-way areas throughout the City. 1 165
Certain payments associated with these services were previously held pending evaluation of field conditions and completion of additional work in select median locations. Parkwood subsequently performed restoration work in coordination with City staff, and staff have verified that the work performed is acceptable.

The requested appropriations will provide the necessary funding to process final payment for services rendered under the agreement and complete administrative closeout. There are two invoices that are outstanding totaling $59,438.00 which aligns with the requested appropriations.

BACKGROUND: The City contracts with landscape maintenance providers to maintain landscape medians, public rights-of-way, and other City-owned landscaped areas.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA BI[LL
For the Regular Meeting of: April 28, 2026
Originating Department: Public Works
ArturoCervarttes -' KobHouston
SUBJECT: GRANT FUNDING APPROPRIATION FROM THE STATE OF

CALIFORNIA-NATURAL RESOURCES AGENCY, DEP ARTMENT OF PARKS AND

RECREATION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF HOLLYDALE COMMUNITY PARK, CITY PROJECT NO. 607-PRK
PURPOSE: To appropriate grant funds from State of California-Natural Resources Agency, Department of Parks and Recreation (State) to the Hollydale Community Park.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Council will consider re-appropriating $400,000 in State-approved grant funds from the Circle Park Renovation Project (City Project No. 609-PRK; Contract No. C5055034; State Project No. SG-19-105) to the Hollydale Community Park Project (City Project No. 607-PRK; Contract No. C5056045; State Project No. SG-19-167).

FISCALIMPACT: There is no impact to the General Fund. The proposed $400,000 appropriation is budgeted in the FY 2025/26 Capital Improvement Program.

ANALYSIS: Following the receipt of over $13.4M in grant funds, the City initiated construction of the Hollydale Community Park Renovation Project and the Circle Park Renovation Project. The grant funds were fully appropriated and allocated between both projects to support their implementation.

As project design advanced and construction costs became more defined, staff identified the need to reallocate $400,000 in State Department of Parks and Recreation grant funds from the Circle Park Project to the Hollydale Community Park Project to ensure sufficient 'Junding.

Now that construction of both projects is complete and final costs have been reconciled, the need for this $400,000 re-appropriation has been confirmed to properly balance both project budgets, Accordingly, staff recommend that the City Council approve the re-appropriation of funds.

It should be noted that this reallocation was previously reviewed and approved by the State Department of Parks and Recreation in July 2025 under Contract No. C5055034.

BACKGROUND: The Hollydale Community Park Project was included in the Fiscal Year 2024/25 Capital Improvement Program ("CIP") to renovate and enhance the park. The scope of I
173
work included improvements such as park rehabilitation, upgraded recreational amenities, landscaping, irrigation, lighting, and other related site enhancements.

On August 27, 2024, the City Council approved Contract No. 2024-68-CC with ZZ Construction, Inc. for the construction of the project in the amount of $2,001,372. During construction, change orders were issued to address field conditions and project refinements, with a reconciliation of quantities. The final construction contract amount was $2,003,983.

Construction of the Hollydale Community Park Project commenced on September 16, 2024, and was completed on January 31, 2025. The Notice of Completion was subsequently approved by the City Council on July 22, 2025.

Inclusive of the $400,000 re-appropriation requested herein, the total project budget is $6,518,942. Funding sources for the project include Proposition 68 grant funds in the amount of $4,158,942, Rendon Regional funds in the amount of $1,600,000, Proposition A funds in the amount of $285,000, and State of California funds in the amount of $75,000.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA BT[LL
For the Regular Meeting of: April 28, 2026
a a a Department:

CifflManager.AkROH-?OustOn
fei[
Department Director:

SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF TWELVE (12) MOBILE DATA COMPUTERS (MDC)

FOR POLICE VEHICLES
PURPOSE: To purchase twelve (12) Mobile Data Computers (MDC) to replace the aging, malfunctioning and end-of-life units installed in Police Vehicles.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Council will consider:
a. Authorizing the purchase of twelve (12) Mobile Data Computer (MDC) units in the total amount of $77,373.34, which includes hardware, five (5) years of extended warranty, field engineering support, and deployment/installation services; and b. Authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute all documents necessary to complete the purchases in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this purchase was approved in the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 budget under account number 522-310-12-9006. The original budget allocation anticipated the replacement of eight (8) MDC units at an estimated cost of $10,000 per unit. Through competitive pricing, the Department secured twelve (12) MDC units at approximately $5,087 per unit, along with associated equipment, warranties, and support services.

ANALYSIS: The South Gate Police Department's MDC units in each patrol vehicle is an essential and critical component to all sworn duty personnel. Such systems contribute to daily police operations, enabling sworn personnel to access dispatch systems, law enforcement databases, and real-time communication tools while in the field. Reliable MDC functionality is essential to ensure timely response to public safety incidents.

The current MDC units are approximately five (5) to six (6) years old, approaching end of life.

Such units are ineligible for hardware upgrades or manufacturer support due to outdated hardware specifications. Due to the nature of addressing public safety in a quick and responsive manner, it is imperative that all sworn personnel possess effective tools necessary to respond, mitigate and resolve threats. Operating on aging MDC produces such issues as: failing or internupted connectivity to the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department, failing or internipted connectivity to South Gate Police Department's dispatch center, inability to effectively access agency related data in the field and hindering data processing
1 195
Aging MDC units also pose the risk of no longer receiving firmware updates from the manufacturer which drives every hardware component of the unit, operating system incapability with said hardware and exposing such units to security vulnerabilities and exploits. MDC units that are no longer able to receive manufacturing support and/or updates along with Windows Operating System updates expose the South Gate Police Department and any data thereof to potential cyberattacks and malicious threat actors.

Such practices of upgrading MDC units are not independent to South Gate Police Department, but rather such is an information technology industry standard of consistently refreshing MDC's that is practiced throughout other law enforcement agencies. Refreshing MDC units on a five (5) to seven (7) year basis ensures that not only does the South Gate Police Department operate with computing equipment that is current and supported by operating system developers and hardware manufacturers, but such practices indirectly contribute to solidifying and protecting the overall City's cybersecurity posture. As aforementioned, outdated and unsupported hardware for any computing device exposes said device to vulnerabilities, exploits contributing to potential compromising actions from non-authorized users.

While adhering to information security and information technology industry standards may be preferred and seen as ideal, South Gate Police Department must adhere to CJIS compliance concerning computing technology and the maintenance thereof. Compliance with Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) requirements mandates that all computing systems meet current security standards. MDCs must support modern encryption protocols, mobile device management (MDM) compatibility, and hardware-based security features such as disk encryption. CJIS Policy Section SA-22 requires agencies to replace unsupported system components or provide continued vendor support. The Department's existing MDC units no longer meet these requirements, placing the City at risk of non-compliance.

BACKGROUND: Following a comprehensive assessment conducted during Fiscal Year 2025/2026, the Technical Services Manager determined that the current MDC units are no longer viable for operational use and will not meet upcoming CJIS compliance standards or align with National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Center for Internet Security (CIS) guidelines.

To maintain operational readiness, ensure regulatory compliance, and support public safety personnel, it is recommended that the City proceed with the replacement of the existing MDC units utilizing the approved budget.

For the Regular Meeting of: Apri} 28, 2026
Originating Department: Public Works
SUBJECT: NOTICE OF COMPLETION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE

THERMOPLASTIC STRIPING OF STREETS CITYWIDE PHASE II, CITY PROJECT N0. 735-TRY
PURPOSE: To accept completion of the construction of the Thermoplastic Striping of Streets Citywide Project Phase II performed by Superior Pavement Markings, Inc.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Council will consider:
a. Approving the Notice of Completion for the construction of the Thermoplastic Striping of Streets Citywide Phase II Project, City Project No. 735-ST ("Project"), performed by Superior Pavement Markings, Inc., effective October 31, 2025; and b. Directing the City Clerk to file the Notice of Completion with the Los Angeles County Registrar Recorder's Office.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund. The final construction contract amount is $205,205. The project is funded as summarized below.

Pro.iect Services Proposition C Measure M Total
Construction Agreement $94,511 $94,511
Construction Change Order No. 1 $80,694 $30,000 $110,694 Sub Total $175,205 $30,000 $205,205
ANALYSIS: Pursuant to the California Public Contract Code, the City of South Gate ("City") must comply with specific requirements before issuing final payment on a construction contract.

In accordance with Section 7107 of the Public Contract Code, the City must first formally accept the completed work and issue a Notice of Completion before releasing the final retention payment.

The Notice of Completion serves as a formal declaration that all work under the contract has been completed. It also initiates the statutory period during which subcontractors, suppliers, and other interested parties may assert any remaining lien claims against the project. During this period, the City retains the right to withhold all or a portion of the retention payment to satisfy any valid claims.
1 202
With construction now complete, staff recommend that the City Council approve the Notice of Completion, thereby initiating the process to release the final payment in accordance with applicable law.

BACKGROUND: The City's roadway network includes over 125 miles of streets, many of which feature pavement legends and crosswalks installed using thernnoplastic material to improve visibility and enhance pedestrian safety. Thermoplastic striping is more durable than traditional paint, providing longer-lasting markings that maintain reflectivity over time. This is especially important in high-traffic areas where clear delineation is critical for both drivers and pedestrians. As part of routine maintenance, the City prioritizes refreshing these markings to ensure they remain visible, effective, and compliant with safety standards. The Thermoplastic Striping of Streets Citywide Phase II Project (Thermoplastic Project) was implemented to refresh these markings.

On May 27, 2025, the City Council approved Contract No. 2025-34-CC with Superior Pavement Markings, Inc. in the amount of $94,511 for the construction of the Thermoplastic Project.

Construction began on September 29, 2025, and was completed on October 10, 2025. The scope of work included the restriping of pavement markings, crosswalks and road lane lines. Change Order No. 1 was approved by the City Council on March 24, 2026, in the amount of $110,694.

The work included striping on Hildreth Avenue from Southern Avenue to Tweedy Boulevard and on Southern Avenue from State Street to Vossler Avenue, including pavement markings, crosswalks, and lane striping. The change order also adjusted contract quantities to reflect actual field conditions. This action was taken in accordance with South Gate Municipal Code Section

1.54.610 (Approval of Modifications and Change Orders), Chapter 1.54 (Purchasing System and Bidding Rules), Title 1 (Administration and Personnel).

The final construction contract amount, inclusive of Change Orders No. 1, is $205,205.

Work was performed in accordance with the approved specifications with acceptable quality and worlananship within budget and time. The contractor has met all of the contract obligations.

The City Council may now accept the Project as complete. The Notice of Completion can now be filed with the Los Angeles County Registrar Recorder's Office.

PUBLIC HEARINGS

HOUSING Following the conclusion of the Public Hearing, tlie City Council:
a. Adopted Resolution No. 2026-08-CC entitled A Resolution of the City Council of the City of South Gate, approving Substantial Amendment No. 2 to the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan; Substantial Amendment No. 2 to the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan; and Substantial Ainendment No. 1 to Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Annugl Action Plan Reprogramming Coinmunity Development Block Grant (CDBG);
b. Authorized the City Manager or the Community Development Director to initiate appropriate action necessary to implement projects and programs as noted in the FY 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan; and c. Reallocated $749,254 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and $340,000 in HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds from current activity allocations to the proposed budget amendments within each respective fund.

Gabriel Perez, Director of Community Development, explained that this item concerns the Comi'nunity Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, which are federal HUD funds allocated to the City aru'iually. The City has discretion in prograrnrning these funds, and the City Council has previously reviewed the Annual Action Plan for this year's allocation.

Today's item is a proposed substantial amendment needed to begin expending the funds. Mr. Perez noted that Aria Marie LeNoue, the City's contracted program consultant, will present the details.

Ana Marie LeNoue, President of Advanced Avant-Garde Corporation, delivered the presentation.

Mr. Perez reported that the City is considering reallocating a portion of its CDBG funds for a demolition project involving the Housing Authority properties at 9001 and 9019 Long Beach Boulevard. The intent is to prepare the site for future sales and the development of fourteen affordable town homes by Habitat for Humanity. The project is currently undergoing environmental review and will be presented to the Planning Commission and City Council at a later date.

Mayor Barron asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak on this item.

Robyn Logan of Hunt Avenue inquired about the potential value of a townhome and its implications for property tax revenue for the city.

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF MARCH 10, 2026 2 COMMUNITY DEV/
HOUSING CONT'D Edgar Pelayo of Mallison Avenue asked for clarification on the rationale for reallocating funds to other projects and whether the same process is used during initial allocations. He stated that involving coinmissions and residents in these decisions would enhance transparency, accountability, and community trust by ensuring that information is clearly communicated.

Jirniny Ozaeta, South Gate resident, provided a detailed report at the most recent City Council meeting. He noted that significant advocacy efforts have sought to reallocate approximately one million dollars from this funding to support Parks and Recreation programs. He also expressed concern that portions of the funding were reallocated due to ongoing timeliness issues. Mr. Ozaeta recommended reassessing the factors contributing to these delays and suggested directing the funds toward street and sidewalk improvements.

EMAILS Mario Dominguez expressed concern that the $1.1 million and CDBG 'funds allocated in March 2025 for Parks and Recreation projects were not advanced prior to the former director's retirement. He criticized city leadership and staff for what he considers inadequate oversight and accountability in ensuring the timely completion of projects intended to benefit residents.

Having no one else come forward, Mayor Barron closed the audience portion.

Councilwoman Avalos asked if the City of South Gate is currently in a workout plan with HUD.

Ms. LeNoue replied in the affirmative.

Councilwoman Avalos asked if the city has $2.2 million right now.

Ms. LeNoue replied in the affirmative.

Councilwoman Avalos stated that the CAC reviewed and allocated the funding. She recalled making the motion to allocate $50,000 to support small businesses when the item previously came before the Council. She noted that these funds appear to have been redirected despite small businesses continuing to face financial challenges due to recent ICE raids and current economic conditions. She requested that the funds remain allocated as originally approved and that the program be initiated.

She also referenced the cornrnercial fagade program, noting that many businesses are interested in making improvements, but the city has

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF MARCH 10, 2026 2 COM!i4UNITY DEV/
HOUSING CONT'D indicated these projects are not currently feasible. She requested that $200,000 remain allocated to the commercial fagade program.

She acknowledged that both the city's sidewalks and roadways are in poor condition.

Vice Mayor Rios noted that these are HUD funds used for various projects and asked whether the CAC had approved the recommendation.

Ms. LeNoue stated that the new recommendations were presented to the CAC for feedback, and the coinmittee accepted the presentation without offering any changes.

Vice Mayor Rios requested clarification on the total funding required for the housing project.

Mr. Perez stated that Habitat will request approximately $1.6 million in HOME funds from the City, with additional support anticipated through PHA funding. The estimated construction cost for the project is $11.8 million. Habitat has submitted its application, which will undergo review by the Planning Cornrnission. The City Council will subsequently review the tentative tract map for the townhomes.

Councilwoman Avalos inquired whether the city owns the property and whether it intends to provide funding to the developer for the project's construction.

Mr. Perez noted that while the City can provide HOME funds, any allocation would require future City Council approval.

Vice Mayor Rios inquired about who will manage the housing project upon its completion and whether Habitat will assume responsibility. He also expressed interest in giving South Gate residents priority.

Mr. Perez noted that limiting eligibility to South Gate residents presents certain challenges.

Ms. LeNoue asked whether the question referred to which households may apply for the housing program. Eligibility is based on household income and is open to low-and-moderate income households, not limited to South Gate residents.

Mayor Barron concurred with Councilwoman Avalos that addressing small business needs should remain a priority. He expressed concern regarding the fagade improvement program, noting that property owners are the primary beneficiaries of such enhancements.

212
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF MARCH 10, 2026 2 COMMUNITY DEV/
HOUSING CONT'D Ms. LeNoue stated that while a tenant may request the funds, the property owner must authorize the improvements and provide access to the property.

Mayor Barron noted that the city's most significant success was the gift card program, which provided meaningful benefits to both local businesses and residents.

Ms. LeNoue stated that HUD does not allow the use of gift cards for program purposes.

Ms. LeNoue provided inforination regarding the small business assistance program. A business may qualify if it is located within a low-income census tract, which includes most of the city. Eligible uses of the funds include job creation or qualifying capital purchases. The City would need to determine the grant amount, and recipients would be required to provide documentation verifying that the funds were used for eligible expenses.

This program could be implemented as described.

Mayor Barron clarified that the funding could not be used to help businesses cover their operating expenses.

Ms. LeNoue stated that if the business needed to purchase a refrigerator, the expense would qualify as capital purchase.

CouncilwomanAvalos asked whether those funds could be used to cover an employee's salary.

Ms. LeNoue confirmed that funding may be approved if the business can demonstrate a loss of revenue and show that the funds will be used to cover the employee's salary. She noted that employment-based funding requires the employee to meet low-to-moderate income household criteria, which obligates the employer to collect extensive personal information.

Based on her experience with similar programs, many employees are reluctant to provide the required documentation.

Rob Houston, City Manager, explained that staff reviewed the proposed $50,000 small business program and identified several significant limitations. The previous gift card initiative was funded through ARPA, which allowed much greater flexibility, whereas CDBG funds are highly restricted.

He noted that administering such a program would require dedicated staff to verify eligibility, track distributions, and review required financial documentation. The estimated administrative cost alone would be approximately $20,000, leaving only $30,000 for direct assistance.

Page5of26
213
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF MARCH 10, 2026 2 COMMUNITY DEV/
HOUSING CONT'D Mr. Houston added that deteri'nining which businesses qualify-and how to fairly allocate limited funds-would be challenging. For example, providing $1,000 per business would help only about 30 businesses, leaving many without support. Additionally, participation would require businesses to submit detailed financial records, such as tax information, which some may be unwilling to provide.

Mayor Barron noted several of the revitalization grants and acknowledged that they are intended for substantial home improvement projects that enhance property value.

He asked how the property could be demolished without delays and how to move the project forward.

He noted that a resident raised a valid point about ensuring our quotes are obtained as accurately and efficiently as possible, given how quickly prices can change.

Mr. Houston explained that Parks and Recreation staff identify projects and make every effort to advance them to the bidding stage. However, ongoing budget cuts and citywide hiring freeze have made it difficult to sustain project work, as vacant positions cannot be filled without additional revenue. As a result, these projects are being forwarded to Public Works Engineering, which has also experienced reductions in staff.

Consequently, many city projects are expected to progress more slowly.

Mr. Houston noted that the cornrnercial rehabilitation program has been somewhat disappointing. Initially, the city intended to develop a strong plan to support businesses in improving their fagades. Unlike previous approaches, where a single business could receive up to $100,000, the current proposal distributes funds along sections of Tweedy Boulevard, offering a maximum of $7,000-$10,000 per business with a required 50 percent match to ensure landlord participation. The pro5ect is currently on hold due to budget reductions and the loss of two code enforcement officers.

Mayor Barron acknowledged the established process the City follows with its commissions. While commissioners provide recoinrnendations on the use of funds, final decisions rest with the Council, which must deliberate and act in the best interest of the community. He emphasized the importance of communication and commended staff for their thorough presentation to the CAC. He also thanked staff for reporting that the CAC had no concerns, noting that the required 30-day review period has been concluded and the Council is now prepared to make its decision.

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF MARCH 10, 2026 2 COMMUNITY DEV/
HOUSING CONT'D Councilwoman Avalos moved to approve the item with the following amendments: allocate $100,000 to small businesses, $100,000 to the coinmercial fagade program, $800,000 to city streets, and distribute the remaining funds as designated by staff.

Mr. Houston asked whether the Council has identified any items they no longer wish to fund.

Ms. LeNoue stated staff will need to pull funds from the current activity allocation line because the proposed changes totaled less than $800,000.

Arturo Cervantes, Director of Public Works, noted that he welcomes additional funding for the city's roadway projects. He explained that the recently received $750,000 must be spent within the next two to three months, and the department is working quickly to allocate those funds.

However, adding another $800,000 at this time would not ensure the city's ability to use the money effectively. Public Works is currently limited in staffing and resources, and additional street projects require engineering work before they can proceed. Mr. Cervantes stated he cannot commit to spending the additional $800,000 by the May deadline. The department is able to utilize the current $750,000 only because it is being applied to an existing street project already underway. He is uncertain how the department could responsibly spend the extra $800,000 within the required timeframe.

CouncilwomanAvalos asked whether any additional streets have been identified for restricting.

Mr. Cervantes noted that while many city streets require investment, the improvement process involves several steps: identifying priority streets, hiring a consultant for design, soliciting bids, and ultimately completing construction.

Councilwoman Avalos noted that one of the streets she had in mind runs parallel to Firestone, specifically Truba Avenue, which contains a small section of recently smoothed pavement.

Mr. Cervantes noted that Truba presents a unique challenge. Designing the project to meetADArequirements will take the city approximately six months. He added that the Frontage Road project required nearly a year to complete the full process and construction.

Mr. Houston explained that there are essentially two timelines. The city has an immediate need this year to prepare projects for implementation, while the annual allocation process deteri'nines priorities for future funding. If a majority of the Council wishes to shift next year's funding Page7of26

HOUSING CONT'D emphasis, for example, placing greater priority on roadway impro'vements ratlier tl'ian specific project staff can adjust accordingly and bring revised recort'u'nendations to the CAC for the next funding cycle. He noted tliat this may involve re-evaluating or deferring some planned projects.

However, he also empliasized that there are practical limits to how quickly the city can pivot, as outlined by the Public Works Director.

Mayor Barron requested clarification, noting that the Truba project is already listed as a street identified for needed improvements.

Mr. Cervantes responded that it is not. He explained that the city uses a pavement management system to prioritize street repairs over a five-year period. In the area referenced by the Councilwoman, all prioritized streets have already been addressed. TrubaAvenue was not identified as a priority, and several other streets citywide rank higher for future investment. If additional funding were available, he would recommend allocating it to those higher-priority locations. Tniba is not included in the near-term Capital Improvement Program. However, if the Council wishes to elevate it as a policy priority, the department would be prepared to proceed accordingly.

Mayor Barron requested that the Council receive, at a future date, an explanation of the criteria used to determine street-prioritization decisions.

Mr. Cervantes responded in the affirmative.

The Councilwoman inquired about which other streets are eligible and ready for funding.

Mr. Cervantes noted that the department has no additional street projects ready for implementation within the next three months. He added that the City's Pavement Management System identifies more than $80 million in needed funding to address street repairs citywide.

Mayor Barron asked whether it would be possible to schedule an off-site meeting for the Councilwoman to meet with the Public Works Department, review their processes, assess the streets included in the program, and receive a related presentation.

Mr. Cervantes responded in the affiri'native.

Mayor Barron stated that all council should also receive the report.

CouncilwomanAvalos requested clarification regarding the $513,000 allocation in the current fiscal year's budget.

216
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF MARCH 10, 2026 2 COMMUNITY DEV/
HOUSING CONT'D Ms. LeNoue stated that the amount presented totaled $758,990.

Councilwoman Avalos asked when the funds must be spent.

Ms. LeNoue responded within three months. The city is working to fully utilize the available funding in coordination with Public Works. The project is already underway, and the funding allocation is being increased from $513,000 to $758,000.

Councilwoman Avalos asked whether the funds could be directed toward areas lacking sidewalks, in addition to the previously identified funding.

Mr. Cervantes explained that the city faces more than twenty million dollars in needed sidewalk repairs. He noted that the process is lengthy, as Public Works must procure a designer, identify and survey the affected locations, develop the project plans, and issue the work for bid.

Mr. Houston asked whether any of the proposed projects are unacceptable and should not be funded. If all projects are recommended, no additional funds would be available for reallocation. However, if some projects are deemed unsuitable, staff can evaluate how much funding could be redirected and whether it can be programmed elsewhere. He added that staff cannot meet the May deadline for sidewalk and street projects this year, but there will be significantly more opportunity to address these needs in next year's allocation.

Mr. Cervantes confirmed this.

Mayor Barron noted that CouncilwomanAvalos has requested the reallocation of one million dollars and asked Councilwoman Avalos to identify where those funds could be drawn from.

Councilwoman Avalos responded that the funds would come from the 2.2 million.

Vice Mayor Rios noted that since the city is unable to complete the sidewalk project, the remaining $400,000 allocations could potentially be used elsewhere. He emphasized that Truba is an important street, serving as a main thoroughfare, and pointed out that the surrounding streets on the west side have already been improved.

Mr. Houston suggested revisiting the street improvement topic in the future, possibly with a presentation explaining the process for assessing road conditions and prioritizing repairs across different neighborhoods However, these discussions cannot be included in this year's CDBG funding due to time constraints. Staff are seeking direction soon, as

Vice Mayor Rios inquired whether it would be feasible to complete the other two projects referenced for the $100,000 by May.

Mr. Houston noted that while a small business program is possible, determining eligibility, restrictions, and administrative costs is complex.

With limited staff and ongoing budget cuts and labor changes, he doubts the team can take on a new project or complete it by May.

Councilwoman Avalos acknowledged that more time would have been helpful, but since allocations from July last year were not addressed, she proposes allocating $150,000 to small business and reducing tlie neighborhood revitalization grant program to $75,000.

Vice Mayor Rios asked Ms. LeNoue whether that solution would be acceptable.

Ms. LeNoue confirined it is possible, but the requested funds for the neighborhood revitalization grant program are needed to process current applications. Transferring $75,000 would likely lead to cuts.

CouncilwomanAvalos announced a $75,000 addition to the neighborhood revitalization grant program.

Ms. LeNoue asked from which project.

Councilwoman Avalos coinmented from the demolition and clearance process.

Ms. LeNoue asked if the plan was to cancel the demolition and clearance project.

Councilwoman Avalos responded in the affiri'native.

Ms. LeNoue said the request is to transfer funds from demolition and clearance, adding $75,000 to the neighborhood revitalization grant and $150,000 to small business.

CouncilwomanAvalos responded in the affirmative.

Vice Mayor Rios asked, "What does that look like?" Mr. Houston explained that moving forward with the Long Beach townhomes relies on obtaining the full $225,000 to remove the current

Luis Frausto, Director of Administrative Services, said building 14 properties will boost the city's property tax revenue. Though benefits won't appear irni'nediately, planning ahead is key. The new properties, each worth at least $500,000, will strengthen the city's tax base.

Councilwoman Avalos asked Ms. LeNoue if one employee is sufficient to run the small business program, and what the associated cost would be.

Ms. LeNoue explained that her team manages small business programs for cities. They must develop guidelines, obtain council approval, which may take one to two months, and then implement the program. Key decisions include determining the funding amount for each business and establishing selection criteria.

She has held discussions with the HUD representative, which have been beneficial for both the director and Ms. Averell, the Housing Manager.

Additionally, the HUD representative is communicating on behalf of the city to the HUD Director, who is taking directives from the federation.

Cities that have not spent all their allocated funds face significant challenges for various reasons. Until now, she had never encountered the possibility of losing future funding.

Vice Mayor Rios acknowledged the value of the discussion and expressed appreciation for Councilwoman Avalos' input and efforts to effect change.

He noted that the matter concerns compliance and timeliness, and subsequently moved to adopt recommendation actions A, B, and C. Mayor Barron seconded the motion.

CouncilwomanAvalos inquired with Mr. Cervantes whether a demolition design plan is required.

Mr. Cervantes said it often depends on the location, but in many instances, demolition does occur.

Councilwoman Avalos inquired whether a design plan had been prepared for the demolition of the property.

Mr. Perez mentioned that the building has a base of approximately 200 square feet.

Mr. Cervantes explained that the process begins by hiring a consultant to create a demolition package, which is necessary for bidding. He noted that this documentation takes time and that three months is a short period in the public sector.

Councilwoman Avalos said the project cannot proceed.

Mr. Houston indicated that every effort will be made to ensure the projecfs progress. He noted that there is as much likelihood of completing this project as those other programs which have yet to begin and will require further review. He also observed that this demolition has already undergone some level of review and procedural evaluation.

Mr. Perez noted that Ms. Averell has reviewed the matter and a draft RFP is ready. He recoinrnends proceeding, as we have ongoing obligations to secure and clean these properties. If we cannot sell or repurpose the property, expenses will continue.

Gabriel Perez, Director of Coinmunity Development, stated that John Signo, Planning Manager, will be giving the presentation.

John Signo, Plaru'iing Manager, gave the presentation.

Mr. Houston noted that David Ghermezian, the property owner and developer, is available for questions and would also like to make a brief statement.

Mayor Barron asked if anyone on the public would like to speak on this item and if any emails were received. Seeing no one coming up and not receiving any emails, Mayor Barron closed the audience portion.

Mayor Barron asked Mr. Ghermezian to step up to the podium.

Mr. Ghermezian has owned this property for approximately seven years.

Throughout this period, the site has consistently operated as a restaurant, with the parking lot serving its patrons. The use of the property remains unchanged-the parking lot continues to support the development facing Firestone. Considerable thought has gone into designing the site.

Councilwoman Avalos thanked Mr. Ghermezian and asked how soon construction would begin if approved, noting the property has been vacant for seven years.

Mr. Ghermezian shared that previous city staff's lack of understanding about the project, and the overlay zone caused him to lose tenants.

However, the new staff have been supportive and provided helpful information. He is currently negotiating with tenants and hopes council will see a project within 12 months.

Jose De La Paz, City Treasurer, raised a concern about the planning coinmission's condition requiring 8915 Vossler to be attached to the restaurant parcel, preventing separate sale. This restriction suggests the lot can't operate independently under the new zoning and may indicate that the zoning change is tailored for the drive-thru pro5ect rather than city policy, as it removes a residential transition buffer for a single parcel.

mumipniars corv'r'n He is concerned that the proposal resembles spot zoning and questions why rezoning is necessary if tlie parking lot remains unchanged.

Vice Mayor Rios expressed his appreciation to Mr. Glieri'nezian for attending the meeting. He stated tliat the purpose of the zoning change appears to be facilitating the acquisition of a tenant but sought clarification regarding the rationale beliind the implementation of a CEQA guideline.

Vice Mayor Rios noted limited parking behind the building and inquired about the total spaces planned for the project.

Mr. Ghen'nezian responded: 11 spaces in the rear lot.

My. Houston explained that tlie back parking lot has served the business for years but is zoned residential under corridor zoning. The Vice Mayor questioned this designation, and Mr. Perez or Mr. Signo can clarify the zoning details. The corridor zone is meant to complement both cornrnercial and residential areas; if combined with a commercial business, it may be eligible for rezoning pending council approval. Mr.

Perez can provide further information on this matter.

Mr. Perez stated Mr. Signo may speak on this.

Mr. Signo supports the City Manager's view. The property has served as a parking lot for decades, but it was zoned residential, which is not appropriate. With a new project underway, the general plan amendment and zone change will correct this. Linking the parking lot to restaurant properties ensures that if ownership changes, the restaurant retains its parking spaces. This protects the parking area for future use.

Mayor Barron believes only two corridors have that zoning: Tweedy and Firestone.

Mr. De La Paz asked if the city is spot zoning?
Mr. Signo does not consider this to be spot zoning, as the adjacent properties along Firestone are UN zoned commercials.

Vice Mayor Rios indicated that no adverse effects are anticipated.

Mr. Signo stated that CEQA includes a list of categorical exemptions available to the City. If a project qualifies under one of these exemptions, the City may rely on it to exempt the project from CEQA requirements.

Vice Mayor Rios asked wliether the project would block Firestone, noting that it is a thoroughfare.

ITEMS Pablo Sifuentes has been a volunteer coacli for the JAA for multiple years.

He is not here to speak about the 4-1 vote, although it'd be nice to allow the residents to vote. And the ironic thing about allowing residents to vote is that with the JAA Board, he hasn't been given any answers to questions that he's asked JAA President Cindy and Vice President Carlos or Field Coordinator Alma. He has multiple times asked the JAA who can nominate him, how many nominations does he needs, what he can run for, who can vote in the JAA elections, and where the results are for the last JAA election.

Mr. Sifuentes finds Carlos, JAA Vice President silly trying him to instruct his travel ball parents to complain against Pilar Avalos for the 4-1 vote, but he reminded Carlos that these issues with the fields have been going on for years. He was informed by Carlos and James Markel from Parks & Rec that my best bet to get practice fields is to be associated with the JAA because JAA is offered fields first. But his JAA parents and him see that this is not true because when his practice lights were turned off last Tuesday, two weeks ago, there were two other programs actively training.

He has spoken very highly of South Gate Park to his family and friends and has always recommended it. He la'iows all these petty issues will get resolved soon. James Markel called him a few days back to start off the conversation by asking him how he was and hearing his side of the story with the lights being turned off and all. He told James and James' response was right off the bat, you're a liar for saying that I allowed you to be on the field.

He also noted an inconsistency in the mayor's remarks urging residents to reduce personal expenses, such as coffee or lunch, in order to pay the utility tax, wliile city warrants show approximately $600 spent on council meeting dinners over six meetings. He said that it is difficult to take personal budgeting guidance seriously when the council incurs such dining expenses for a limited number of meetings.

He thanked Gabriel for clarifying the appropriate code regarding the utility trailer on his property. He looks forward to Gabriel's follow-up email and is still awaiting a response from city manager. With that matter resolved, he wishes to address the allegation that he requested a favor or special treatment from Mayor Barron. He asks the council directly whether he has ever sought such treatment from any of them. Council Member Hurtado has already confirmed that he has not. If the remaining council members agree that he has never requested special treatment, it would be unreasonable to assume he would suddenly begin doing so with Mayor Barron. Therefore, he asks Mayor Barron to state clearly whether he ever requested a favor or special treatment. He awaits a response.

Francisco Gallegos, Otis Street, expressed concern regarding the City's delay in utilizing available federal funds for long-needed sidewalk repairs.

He noted that he walks daily and regularly observes hazardous conditions throughout the City. Mr. Gallegos questioned why the City is now "scrambling" to use these funds and why earlier action was not taken to ensure they could be applied appropriately. His other issue is public safety on city streets. The city has a new chief of police but there are still not enough police officers.

He said that when elected officials respond to disagreement by targeting residents or their families, it reflects poorly on their leadership and creates an atmosphere of intimidation.

He also addressed coinments made by Mayor Barron questioning his credibility and residency. Mr. Ozaeta stated that all South Gate residents- whether born in tl'ie city, new to the comi'nunity, or part of immigrant families-deserve respect and the opportunity to be heard without their identity or feedback being dismissed. He emphasized that South Gate's diversity is a strength and should not be used against residents who engage civically.

Mr. Ozaeta reminded the Council that they were elected by the community and are accountable to its members. He encouraged the Council to view public feedback as an opportunity to serve residents better, not as a threat.

He stated that maintaining decency and decorum is essential to public service and that the council chambers must remain a safe space for open participation and accountability.

He concluded by urging all Council Members to recommit to a higher standard of conduct toward both residents and one another, noting that the corni'nunity is watching and deserves leadership rooted in dignity and respect.

Ms. Logan questioned the absence of Tweedy Mile Board Members and asked why the upcoming Parks and Recreation Coininission meeting on Thursday had been cancelled.

She also referenced remarks made at a previous meeting that she found inappropriate and stated that this pattern of unproductive commentary is disappointing. While she recognizes that many residents have legitimate concerns and wish to work collaboratively toward solutions, she feels that this spirit of cooperation is not being reflected by all comtnissioners.

Ms. Logan suggested that citizens could organize a team or public service initiative to help address issues more effectively. She further commented that some coinmissioners appear more focused on criticizing the budget process than contributing meaningfully. She commended the Council for approving the budget, stating that doing so demonstrates a commitment to moving forward. As someone who works with capital funds, Ms. Logan noted that she understands budgeting challenges and emphasized that a three-month timeframe is not feasible for achieving the goals staff are working toward.

Lastly, she wants to speak on some of the stuff that's been said throughout the last few months, about information on the {JUT and how there's misinforination.

Mario Dominguez requests that the City Council place an item on a future agenda to consider reinstalling call-in or Zoom access for council meetings. He also expresses concern regarding the recent discontinuation of Zoom participation.

Claudia Rivera states that records show the city's budget deficit was discussed in early 2020, during Councilwoman Avalo's tenure as city auditor-a role responsible for monitoring and understanding the city's financial condition. Rivera asserts this places heightened responsibility on Avalos for being aware of the issue. She further notes that public statements portrayed the deficit as unexpected, and that corni'nents from certain cominissioners contributed to a misleading narrative regarding the city's financial situation and the ballot measure presented to voters.

Nelson Hermosillo, of Dorothy Avenue, commented on the previous meeting's budget discussion.

He emphasized that this process has been consistently followed and allows Council Members to have their questions addressed in advance.

Mayor Barron highlighted the importance of submitting questions to staff in a timely manner, noting that last-minute inquiries may be more difficult to address prior to meetings.

1 MUNICIPAL CODE
ADMIN Following the conclusion of the Public Hearing, the City Council unanimously approved (as amended) items A & B by motion of Vice Mayor Rios and seconded by Council Member Hurtado:
a. Introduced Ordinance No. 2026-02-CC entitled Ordinance of the City Council of the City of South Gate, Califomia, amending Title 7 (Public Safety and Morals), of Chapter 7.49 (Park), Section 7.49.150 (Curfew) by modifying Subsection 7.49.150(B) and adding Subsections

7.49.150(C) (Extended Park Hours) and 7.49.150(D) (Park Closure) to the South Gate Municipal Code relating to curfews in City of South Gate municipal parks to allow for pen'nitted activities in parks without buildings beyond sunset and to provide the City Manager flexibility to amend park hours by administrative action citywide; and b. Finding that this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the General Rule Exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), as there is no possibility that the ordinance amendment may have a significant effect on the enviromnent, and as a Class 1 Categorical Exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities), as the amendment involves only a minor change to the administrative hours of operation of existing park facilities with no physical alteration to the environment.

MUNICIPAL CODE
ADMIN CONT'D Tina De La Rosa, Acting Director of Parks & Recreation provided the presentation.

Mayor Barron asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak on this item.

Mario Dominguez, a South Gate resident, expressed opposition to granting the City Manager autl'iority over city parks and recorninended assigning tliis responsibility to either the Director of Parks and Recreation or tlie Chief of Police.

Jirnmy Ozaeta, a South Gate resident, expressed opposition to delegating authority to City Manager as proposed in the municipal code amendment.

While acknowledging the City's efforts to support Street Soccer USA programming, he stated concern with the mechanism proposed to achieve that objective. He added that the ordinance would allow the City Manager to unilaterally extend park hours at any city park, requiring only a written notice to the City Council within seven days after the decision.

Mr. Ozaeta recorni'nended several measures for consideration. He proposed requiring prior Council approval for any extension of city park hours, not only those past midnight. He also suggested implementing advance comi'nunity notification to ensure affected residents are infori'ned.

In addition, he recommended adding an annual review clause to allow the Council to reassess the effectiveness and alignment of the ordinance. He 'further requested that any extension of hours include written justification to maintain transparency.

Regarding park closures, he expressed support for extending emergency closure authority for recreation centers to the City Manager and Chief of Police when safety concerns arise. He emphasized that South Gate residents deserve parks that are safe, well managed, and responsive to coini'nunity needs rather than administrative convenience.

Edgar Pelayo, a South Gate resident, reiterated the concerns raised by previous speakers and noted that extending park hours could have fiscal implications.

Robyn Logan, a South Gate resident, inquired whether the City Manager is responsible for army portion of the budget, including oversight of expenditures related to items such as lighting and security. Ms. Logan expressed the belief that the Chief of Police has ultimate authority in these matters and would be the appropriate official to inform the public about safety within any permissible area.

MUNICIPAL CODE
ADMIN CONTtD Having no one else come forward, Mayor Barron closed tlie audience portlOn.

Council MemberAvalos heard the coinmunity conceriis. She has some questions that have to do with the city ensuiing adequate Council oversiglit for administrative decisions that are being made. Also including in that is hopefiilly making a quarterly report or quarterly presentation to let Council know under what circumstances will staff be seeking Council approval wlien closures come. She agrees when dealing with public safety, she would like to include not only the Chief of Police but also the department head of Parks and Rec be included.

Council MemberAvalos asked how residents will be notified of any extended hours or recurring events that are happening. What mitigation measures will be used for noise, lighting, and traffic impacts? Vice Mayor Rios knows the city has a few parks which triggered compliance for Street Soccer USA. As far as to the other parks, they are not going to be impacted by this code.

Mr. Houston replied not at this time. The idea is tliat down the road if there was a decision to change some of the smaller parks, but not now due to budget and lack of staff. Street Soccer USA is putting up a facility at Hollydale Regional Park, being open seven days a week, installing lighting, and providing their own staff for security at no cost to the city.

Council Member Hurtado asked if this issue was ever considered before the Parks Coinmission first and then to Council if needed.

Mr. Houston stated that for the purposes of Street Soccer USA, the staff have been in a mad speed rush.

Mayor Barron understands the goal is not to create a menace. The goal is to create an event where the community can come out and enjoy the park at an hour that is not normally used for. He questioned why this item has come before Council.

Ms. De La Rosa stated the ordinance reads parks with buildings or structures which South Gate Park and Hollydale Comi'nunity Park have buildings with structures and there is a 10:00 p.m. curfew time on those parks.

Mayor Barron stated that in the past when we've had some emergencies at the parks the Chief of Police made the call to cancel events. He does not see anything being taken away based on this ordinance.

ADMIN CONT'D Mr. Houston stated the Chief of Police consults with City Manager and then decides on closing the park. So, ultiinately it is the City Manager's choice.

Council Member Avalos is requesting to include the Chief of Police and the Director of Parks & Recreation given the fact tliat Council is introducing an ordinance.

Mr. Houston stated if that's the requirement recorninended, it could state the City Manager in consultation with the Parks & Rec Director, and Police Chief.

Council Member Davila doesn't see any issue authorizing the City Manager. She knows the City Manager, Chief of Police and Director of Parks & Recreation are always working together.

Ms. De La Rosa stated that the specific language in the ordinance states propose a new subsection C delegates authority of City Manager or a duly authorized representative to extend park hours of operation beyond the standard curfew hours.

Mayor Barron asked Councilwoman Avalos if she wants it specifically stated to a certain department.

Council Member Avalos responded in the affirmative.

AMENDMENT: include the phrase that says, "in consultation with appropriate staff."

ResolutionNo.2026-11-CCentitledResolutionoftheCityCouncilof the City of South Gate, California, confirming the voting results for establishing a Preferential Parking District on Beaudine from 8813 Beaudine Avenue to 8944 Beaudine Avenue to prohibit parking between the hours of 4:00 PM and 10:00 PM Monday to Friday except by permit; and

b. Directed the Public Works Department to install parking resttiction signage within 90 days of the approval of the Resolution; and c. Directed the City Clerk to noti'fy the property owners on Beaudine Avenue of March 5, 2026, voting results; and
d. Appropriated $1,500 in Gas Tax Funds to install the parking restrictions.

Mayor Barron recused himself from this item due to his residence on Beaudine Avenue.

Arturo Cervantes, Assistant City Manager/Public Works Director, gave the presentation.

Vice Mayor Rios asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak on this item.

SelenaAndrade lives on BeaudineAvenue, where parking restrictions are enforced. Residents frequently find unauthorized vehicles parked and call enforcement or police, but rarely get a response, especially at night. She asks how enforcement will work if the new item is approved. Selena notes the two-permit rule is insufficient for her family of six, including two college students and two high school students. Many neighbors support the petition, but there are concerns about fairness, as residents with handicap plaques also receive two permits, effectively getting three and creating inequality.

She hoped Mayor Barron would be there since he owns several cars. Does he have a city pernnit plus two others, totaling three pennits? Jimmy Ozaeta, a resident of South Gate, acknowledges the existence of a $1,500 allocation from gas tax funds. He inquires whether the city would consider investing these funds in permitting for every street if all residents chose to participate in the process, and requests information on alternative options available for the use of gas tax funds.

Having no one else come forward, Mayor Barron closed the audience portion.

EMAILS Julia expressed interest and in favor of having the preferential parking.

3(/ 241
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF MARCH 24, 2026 2 PARKING & TRAFFIC
CONTtD Mr. Cervantes explained that the Council redesigned the Preferential Parking District Program approximately four to five years ago. At that time, the program allowed only one permit per property; however, this resulted in underutilized on-street parking. As a result, the program was revised to allow up to two permits per property, which reflects the maximum number of vehicles that can physically be accominodated on the street.

The intent of the program is to discourage excessive on-street parking and encourage residents to use available garages and driveways, which most properties have. The program is not intended to accominodate four or six permits per property.

Regarding the suggestion that the mayor may receive an additional permit due to his role as a city representative, Mr. Cervantes clarified that the program does not provide for a third permit under any circumstances He further noted that ADA parking spaces are governed by a separate ordinance and are not subject to the Preferential Parking District Program.

Finally, with respect to gas tax funding, Mr. Cervantes stated that such funds may be used for the maintenance, construction, and operation of public streets. In this instance, the funds are being used to install signage for the Preferential Parking District.

Chief Manny Arana addressed concerns about police response, stating officers do respond, citations are issued, and records can be shared with residents. He also clarified that Council parking perinits only apply to the city hall lot.

Vice Mayor Rios recognizes that certain residences lack driveways.

Mr. Houston reported that Mr. Cervantes noted the limited availability of real estate along the street. He observed that certain residences lack garages, while others have converted their garages into accessory dwelling units (ADUs).

Council Member Davila inquired of Mr. Cervantes regarding the number of handicap spaces available on Beaudine, and whether the city provides additional permits to residents who possess a handicap placard.

Mr. Cervantes stated that each property in the preferential parking district is eligible for two permits. He was unsure of the number of ADA spaces on Beaudine.

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF MARCH 24, 2026 2 PARKING & TRAFFIC
CONT'D Mr. Houston inquired whether possession of a handicap placard supersedes the municipality's autliority to issue citations for parking without a street permit.

Chief Arana confin'ned tliat the handicap placard is not affected by the city's program.

Council Member Hurtado recognizes parking concerns, having previously lived without a driveway on Jackson. He is aware of the nearby college and apartment complex near Beaudine. Once signatures are verified, the council must proceed.

Council MemberAvalos noted the initial $1,500 cost from the gas tax and asked about the permit price for residents.

Mr. Cervantes explained the police department manages the permit program.

Mr. Cervantes and Chief Arana estimated each annual parking permit cost about $60.

Council MemberAvalos asked how much revenue the police department's 16 extra permits will generate, and if the $1,500 will be reimbursed to the general fund or gas tax fund.

Mr. Cervantes stated that the gas tax comprises funds received by the city on an annual basis. The city is entitled to allocate these funds at its discretion. Once the funds have been expended, there is no obligation for reimbursement. Therefore, even if the gas tax is used for initiatives that generate revenue for the general fund, reimbursement is not required.

Council Member Avalos asked about the revenue, which is estimated at around $4,300 for the general fund. This will generate income for the city.

Mr. Cervantes explained that the peri'nit program's fees were intended to cover police department operating costs.

Council Member Hurtado requested clarification regarding the permissible uses of the gas tax, noting that it cannot be used at discretion as previously assumed.

Mr. Cervantes stated that gas tax funds can support any public right-of- way project, such as street signage.

CONT'D Vice Mayor Rios asked if Beaudine residents were involved.

Mr. Cervantes clarified that the Council is considering this matter due to a petition submitted by those residents. Staff verifies the petition was approved by residents from each propeity; if two-thirds support it, the request goes to Council.

Vice Mayor Rios inquired about the existence of an appeal process.

Mr. Cervantes responded that he was not aware of any forinal appeal procedure. However, residents have the option to request the removal of the preferential parking district within two years after its implementation, but this requires a vote among the residents.

Council MemberAvalos inquired about applying for extra permits.

Chief Arana clarified eacli property is allowed two permits.

Mr. Cervantes described the event parking rules for the preferential district.

Council Member Hurtado motioned to approve this item and seconded by Council Member Davila.

The City Clerk is directed to file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk within five (5) working days of adoption.

Mayor Barron asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak on this item.

Mario Dominguez watched a Bell Gardens City Council meeting where a proposed development included a recoinmendation for the developer to add charging stations.

Liz Ruiz, Kauffman Ave. asked whether city code discourages non- charging vehicles from parking at charging stations.

Nibil Huzu, owner of Packtrack, aims to lead fleet electrification and promote renewable energy in South Gate.

John Cataldo, an experienced architect in South Gate, designed the new facility recently described by Nibil. He expressed gratitude to the plaru'iing department for their assistance with the CUP application and urged the council to support streamlining this process. He emphasized that the proposed facility would be a valuable asset to both the state and the city, setting a precedent for renewable energy innovation, as it will utilize solar power to help electrify vehicles.

Having no one else come forward, Mayor Barron closed the audience portion.

Council Member Avalos inquired about the current permit application fee for an EV charging station installed on a residential property.

John Signo, the Planning Manager, indicated that the planning review fee for architectural review is $563, which is collected for all stations.

Council Member Avalos inquired about systems to ensure thorough application review while complying with state guidelines.

Mr. Signo explained that the city must provide a checklist for applicants.

The procedure is ministerial, skipping the planning process and going straight to Building and Safety, which conducts an administrative review.

pgocmuscosran Council MemberAvalos noted a $563 fiscal impact and questioned if further fees would be collected for extra work, or if that amount is final.

Mr. Signo replied that additional fees will be collected during the building and safety stage.

Council MemberAvalos asked how this ordinance would help the city compete for state or regional EV funding.

Mr. Signo replied that compliance with state or federal requirements improves the city's chances of securing grants.

Council Member Hurtado noted that this was passed in 2015 with a compliance deadline of 2017 and asked liow oversight is managed for home vehicle charging to meet Assembly Bill 1236's requirements.

Mr. Signo explained that building and safety requires a ministerial, expedited permit for this process.

Council Member Hurtado observed vehicles charging and left unattended, including at city hall stations.

Mr. Houston clarified that installation and management are separate issues. This item concerns installation and permitting, such as at Tesla centers like Cross Roads Plaza, where Tesla regulates charging and parking enforcement.

He noted a grant funded the city hall charging stations for free use, but staff believe the free period has ended. They are considering adding a system to charge fees if a fully charged car remains parked.

Vice Mayor Rios and Mayor Barron support streamlining processes, particularly for electric vehicle charging stations.

COMMENTS FROM THE

AUDIENCE - NON-AGENDA
ITEMS Rob Houston, City Manager, clarified tliat the door was not intended to be closed. He explained that the usual 10:00 p.m. automatic closure shifted to 9:00 p.m. due to the time change and the absence of his executive assistant, who normally manages those settings. The adjustment has not yet been made, but staff will ensure it is corrected moving forward.

Mario Dominguez, South Gate resident, instructed, ordered and demanded Council Members to place an item on the next City Council Meeting agenda to discuss and debate whether or not to bring back Zoom or call-in feature. Mr. Dominguez mentioned three cities currently use Zoom.

Cudahy since 2020, Bell Gardens since 2020, and Huntington Park. He stated City Council blew tl'ie fiscal emergency and declaiing a fiscal emergency and whether or not to have a Utility Users Tax.

Henry Gonzalez, South Gate resident, has attended numerous council meetings and those doors have never been locked. There would be an officer patrolling the hallway in case of an emergency. He questioned the moving of the public speaking portion at this time instead at the beginning of the meeting. Mr. Gonzalez attended toniglit's meeting on behalf of the Rotary Club to recognize the Explorer Program Detective Lopez and the explorers.

Mr. Gonzalez said to the people attending tonight's meeting complaining about trash or whether there's things in the comi'nunity to get involved with a youth organization or a service club for adults. It's easy to point fingers. It's easy to say this or that. Give it back to your coini'nunity.

Yancy Lopez, South Gate business owner, about two weeks ago, she had the opportunity to speak at a mayoral hearing with Mayor Barron where she shared her experience of CBP entering her business. This isn't just her story. This reflects a lot of fear people in this community are going through right now. At that hearing, they were told that South Gate is in the top ten ICE hotspots and it is very disappointing. What made it worse was

COMMENTS FROM THE

AUDIENCE-NON-AGENDA
ITEMS CONT'D realizing that other cities tliat aren't on that list are doing more for their comi'nunities than South Gate. Cities like Pico Rivera and El Monte are finding ways to suppoit residents who need help. Lynwood and Cudahy have already taken actions at tlie city level to protect their coini'nunities.

Other cities are putting resources into their coininunities, educating people on their rights, and supporting businesses that are being impacted.

Ms. Lopez asked council if tlie city is being heavily impacted, why aren't we doing more? She went on the city's website, the last time immigration related inforination was updated was June 7, 2025.

Brenda Rojas is a PhD trained molecular and environi'nental toxicologist.

She is also a regulatory scientist and is here tonight to talk about the CEQA categorical exemption for the conditional use permit at the Green Wise Soil Technology site. Multiple agencies have now documented significant environmental impacts. First, the LA County Department of Public Health issued ordered violations in September confiri'ning the release of organic volatile organic compounds into the surrounding community. Second, the Regional Water Quality Board issued violations documenting compost related discharges entering the nearby waterways.

That is a direct and significant water quality impact. Third, inspection records and site observations show that the landfill cover where GWS has been operating has been disturbed. Damage to the closed landfill cover raises serious environmental concerns, which are some of the most concerning impacts recognized under CEQA. Taken together, this constitutes substantial evidence that the categorical exemption relied upon for this CUP may no longer be legally valid and the continued reliance on it exposes the city to risk. There are additional iSsues the city must acknowledge. First, the city has financially benefited from this operation through rent and host fees. While corni'nunity complaints have been unresolved, complaints date back to at least 2013, yet the city did not independently verify permits or compliance with any of the regulatory agencies. Ms. Rojas verified with the regulatory and enforcement agencies.

She further stated that GWS has significantly expanded its operation since 2003. Additionally, the site is located in an environmental justice community. That's what South Gate is, where cumulative impacts and enforcement failures carry heightened legal and ethical responsibility.

Because these are ongoing environi'nental harins, she is requesting a revocation of the Conditional Use Permit on the grounds that the site has had an improperly permitted operation. The LA Regional Water Board issued a notice of non-compliance for composting operations, and the community has been complaining about this since 2013. She is considering submitting a request to the state AG's office for review that it's going to include her entire documentation.

COMMENTS FROM THE

AUDIENCE - NON-AGENDA
ITEMS CONT'D Mara West, South Gate resident, lives close to GWS. Since GWS moved into the site on Miller Way, tlie residents have experienced issues with dust and odors from their composting activities. She has contacted and worked with various city staff assigned to this problem as well as various city managers and council members. No one has ever informed her of the process of complaints. She lias repeatedly contacted AQMD and submitted a petition signed by her neighbors which she has presented to the city council and the city. She is concerned about the city's risk as well as the comi'nunity's health.

Thomas Buckley mentioned that at 9:54 p.m. today, Councilmember Hurtado stated, "if the structural deficit had not occurred, you would still have 100 officers." Councilmember Hurtado is correct. Mr. Buckley believes that right now the scapegoat is UUT. The scapegoat is people like him in the comi'nunity voicing out their opinions. The scapegoat is Councilwoman Avalos who is hortibly talked down to at the last meeting.

Mr. Buckley stated that this council caused the deficit by being ignorant and overspending. The deficit caused the pink slips. The one thing he has not heard from Council despite the numbers is an apology to the employees that are receiving pink slips because of Council's actions and inactions.

Robyn Logan mentioned the agenda has verbiage about not using obscene language and we heard some of it today. Also, regarding the tit for tat that happened supposedly. She agrees that it started with her comment because she called out two council members who then said it was one other council member who was the next mayor. She thinks we as all residents need to take ownership. It is not just the five people that are sitting in front of her, but it's all of us. The reality is again, it does take a village, but the other aspect of it is not just South Gate. City of Long Beach has a huge deficit and they have UUT. The City of Paramount was mentioned on the scanner.

She is offended by the fact tliat it doesn't matter what we do and what we say and what we're complaining about because the residents of the city don't care. She says it is because people are still riding their ebikes without helmets on city sidewalks.

Edgar Pelayo, South Gate resident, touched on the last meeting where all council were present regarding the vote on the fiscal emergency. He was disappointed in some of the council members and their behavior. Mr.

Pelayo commented on the CDBG process that took place last meeting where tliere was money allocated to Parks & Rec that didn't get used.

Then there were also instructions and money allocated to the program for small business also didn't get used. Then there was an attempt to get some streets and sidewalks fixed that didn't get through. All he heard from everyone was excuses. Mr. Pelayo said the city is at risk of losing these funds because we haven't been in compliance. He questioned why these

Liz Ruiz stated that during the last council meeting, Councilwoman Maria del Pilar Avalos coinrnented that she was conceriied about the legal risk posed by an individual who currently serves on two coinmission.

Councilwoman Avalos brought the matter to the City's attention due to her cotni'nents regarding another resident and her Facebook page. To the best of Ms. Ruiz's knowledge, she is the only person present who fits this description. The following day, Ms. Ruiz sent an email asking the Councilwoman to clarify the situation, and to this day, she has not received a response.

Councilwoman Avalos complains that directors don't get back to her on time, yet Ms. Ruiz finds that incredibly hypocritical of Councilwoman Avalos, considering she expects a response within just a few hours.

Assuming that Ms. Ruiz is indeed the person Councilwoman Avalos is referring to, she would respond by telling her that she would be better off worging about your own legal liabilities. After all, you are the one who has continually spread falsehoods-not only about Ms. Ruiz, but, even worse, about your own municipal employees. Ms. Ruiz is referring specifically to the corni'nent she made claiming that, according to her, they earn over $100,000 and that they cut deals with the other council members.

When Ms. Ruiz mentioned the actions of other residents, she did so to shed light on and clarify various lies told on those pages. They have caused panic; for instance, Ms. Ruiz cited the misinformation they repeatedly spread regarding the quality of the municipal water an issue she attempted to clarify, only to be removed from the Scanner Facebook glIaOuP.

Councilwoman Maria del Pilar Avalos, if you agree with those lies, I demand that you step down from the Southeast Water Commission, because you should not be representing us in a matter of such importance.

Furtheri'nore, I find it rather presumptuous that you claim to be concerned about maintaining impartiality, given that you frequently read aloud only those messages that suit your agenda, especially when our City Clerk is already responsible for providing meeting suminaries. You also stated during that same meeting that this very person-referring to me-was claiming that your name is not Maria. Please do not insult my intelligence.

I have been participating in these meetings long before you were even

ITEMS CONT'D elected. Please show me exactly where and when I supposedly stated tliat your name is not Maria. For the record, I can tell you that within my own family, specifically my motlier and all her sisters, every single one of them is named "Maria del [something]." You also stated that it is your obligation to conduct yourself witli integrity, keeping your personal emotions separate from your municipal duties.

I want to remind eveiyone of the time you removed me from my position as commissioner for criticizing your sister for taking another job as City Clerk in Hawthorne-especially since we had elected her to serve as our City Clerk. We were even paying her a salary and benefits that amounted to over $1 00,000 a year. And simply because I spoke out, you told me that you were going to remove me.

To many of us who have been keeping tabs on municipal affairs, it became obvious that she tried to give the position to Robert Montalvo so that she wouldn't face criticism.

Ari'nando Velazquez, Independence Ave., mentioned that it's a good time of the year because the Kiwanis is having their second annual Golden Apple and Heart of the Hero ceremony scheduled May Ist at the Henry C.

Gonzalez Auditorium.

Mr. Velazquez stated that last year was their inaugural year and didn't quite know what to expect. They had 17 schools participate, almost 300 people in attendance. They got to recognize a member from the South Gate Police Department and a firefighter. They are looking to grow the program even more. Aside from participation, one of the things they are looking to improve upon is their network to increase the visibility to companies or organizations that really value education, our first responders to see if maybe they would be willing to participate. One thing they are doing this year, aside from sponsorships, is program ads.

Everything they raise from this event is for scholarship programs and sending students to their leadership conferences.

South Gate resident stated he has children at the international school on Atlantic and Tweedy. He mentioned that Adella is currently blocked off.

During peak evening hours, trying to get through by car is a complete disaster. It is dangerous to even attempt to exit; people sometimes get into fights, and drivers frequently double-park. My suggestion is to paint lane markings on the pavement at the Tweedy exit to clearly designate the lane heading toward Atlantic Avenue as the sole exit route. At the very least, we should provide one additional lane dedicated to traffic exiting onto Tweedy. Furtherinore, I recommend conducting a study regarding the signage currently located at the Chakemco and Atlantic exits.

ITEMS CONT'D There is also a problem on that street, specifically at Legacy and Chakemco; there are always pallets and a lot of debris lying in the road.

Something really ought to be done about this, as it poses a safety hazard, especially in the event of a fire. It is a matter of safety.

Those are the most acceptable options, and they wouldn't entail much cost.

If the people living onAdella insist on keeping the concrete blocks, they should be held responsible if an accident occurs later on and people are unable to escape. The danger will only increase if there is future construction in the area.

EMAILS Claudia Rivera expressed concern regarding the discussion of the CDBG block grant funds noting that city staff repeatedly explained the funds cannot be redistributed due to strict timelines and required processes. She stated that continued questioning despite these explanations created confusion and undermine staff credibility and emphasized the need for discussion to remain grounded in the facts presented.

REPORTS AND COMMENTS
FROM CITY OFFICIALS Arturo Cervantes, Director of Public Works believes the resident was referring to the ingress and egress to the high school complex. That high school complex was constructed in a manner that has limited access. There were traffic and environmental studies prepared and designed to limit the impacts to those adjacent residential neighborhoods. The studies kept the streets like Adella closed to prohibit ingress and egress from that residential neighborhood. It kept ingress and egress prohibited from the north side as well as you head towards Southern. The only ingress and egress point is at Tweedy onto Atlantic and Chakemco. The resident is suggesting the city revisit to see if there's anything that can be done to make that a more palatable entrance and exit point. The city has been looking at that for quite some time now and it's quite a challenge that you've got four schools in essence exiting onto Atlantic Avenue and it's slightly offset times but it's just tremendous traffic volumes. There is an evaluation being carried out by the traffic engineer to see if it's feasible to add a second lane in and out of Tweedy. It is something that we can follow up on.

Council Member Hurtado mentioned a traffic study that was done not too long ago in that area.

Mr. Cervantes stated that the City has conducted multiple studies in that area over time to identify potential improvements to traffic conditions.

Jose De La Paz, City Treasurer, reported ongoing concerns regarding double parking on Chakemco particularly near the corner produce business as well as a dumpster encroaching into the public right-of-way

He also noted that the city will be applying for an additional grant to repurpose the existing City facility.

Mr. Houston addressed concerns regarding the water tank, reiterating that its status has not changed other tlian that it is no longer in use. The city must either remove the tank or invest approximately one million dollars to brace and paint it, with an additional estimated $1.2 million required every eight years to maintain it. The alternative is to 'fund its removal through the Water Fund.

He acknowledged the significant amount of misinformation circulating on social media and stated that the City does not intend to engage in back-and-forth exchanges online. However, for accurate and up-to-date information, residents are encouraged to consult the "Corni'nunity Questions" section on the City's website.

REPORTS AND COMMEINTS

FROM CITY OFFICIALS
CONT'D Raul F. Salinas, City Attoriiey, cautioned that cities increasingly face the risk of individuals manipulating video recordings of public meetings and distributing them as if they were authentic. He noted that such actions underinine the public participation process and contribute to the spread of misinfon'nation.

He referenced a recent example involving alleged remarks by Council Member Hurtado tl'iat appeared to criticize the CityAttorney during a council meeting. Mr. Salinas stated he did iiot hear-and does not believe-any such comments were made.

While he welcomes accountability, he stressed that false infonnation creates confusion about how council meetings are conducted and about the roles of council members.

Mr. Salinas encouraged the public to consider the reliability of their infori'nation sources and reiterated the City Manager's recommendation to refer to the City's official website for accurate and factual information about city matters.

She stated that this information would help determine whether the board reflects tlie interests of the local business community.
