For the Regular Meeting ofi April 28, 2026
Originating Department: Human Resources

f"A
SUBJECT: STATUS UPDATE ON VACANT POSITIONS IN COMPLIANCE WITH CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE § 3502.3
PURPOSE: California Governrnent Code Fp 3502.3 requires that each public agency present at a public hearing at least once per fiscal year the City's vacant position prior to the adoption of an annual budget and to permit the City's Associations to make a presentation at the hearing if they so desire.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Council will consider:
a. ConductingapublichearingontheCity'svacancies;and
b. Receiving and filing the status update report on vacancies in compliance with California Government Code F> 3502.3.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact from receiving the report on the presentation of vacant positions
BACKGROUND: Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 2561 (AB2561) into law on September 22, 2024, to amend the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA). AB2561 added California Government Code E> 3502.3, which requires public agencies to hold a public hearing at least once per fiscal year to report on vacancy and recruitment status and retention efforts. A basis for the new requirements is that the California Legislature determined that vacancies are widespread and can result in significant problems in the public sector. As vacancies increase, existing employees are then required to take on heavier workloads, which results in burnout and increased turnover. This, in turn, could negatively impact and diminish the delivery of needed public services.

To this end, California Governinent Code Ffi 3502.3 imposed three requirements on local agencies:
(1) At least once each fiscal year and prior to the adoption of its annual budget, the City Council must hold a public hearing and receive the City's report on the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts;
I
10 (2) During the liearing, the City must identify any necessary changes to policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may lead to hiring obstacles; and (3) The City must allow the recognized employee associations to make a presentation, if they so desire.

The City has five recognized employee Associations: Division Management Association (DMA), Professional Mid-Management Association (PMMA), Municipal Employees' Association (MEA), Police Management Association (PMA), and the Police Officers' Association (POA).

On March 18, 2026, tlie Human Resources Department notified eacli of the employee associations that a public hearing will occur on April 28, 2026, regarding the City's vacancies and informed them that they may make a presentation if they desire.

On March 25, 2026, notice of this public hearing was published in the WAVE, and it has been continuously posted on the City's website and outside aru'iouncement board since March 25, 2026.

The City has 349 full-time positions budgeted with 52 of these positions vacant as of February 24, 2026, for an approximately 14.9% vacancy rate. Attached to this agenda bill is the PowerPoint presentation showing the number of vacancies and percentage of total vacancies by each City bargaining unit. The Police Officers' Association (POA) has the highest vacancy rate on a percentage basis at approximately 21.88%. The vacancy rates in the City's other Associations are: DMA (O.OO%); PMMA (13.73%); MEA (15.46%); and PMA (O.O%). The unrepresented Executive Management Team is currently at 14.29% vacancy.

For Fiscal Year 2025/26, the City has hired 45 new employees, 23 of which are full-time, and promoted 20 existing 'full-time employees. Over this same period of time, the City received and reviewed 1,013 job applications, which is a sharp decrease over the previous fiscal year when 2,422 applications were received.

The Human Resources Department (HR) has established a thorough recruitment process to ensure that it can attract the best possible candidates. To do this, HR in cooperation with other relevant stakeholders applies the following procedure:
(1) Reviews all job classification specifications (job descriptions) and updates them as needed prior to opening a recruitment. Any modifications of a job classification or the creation of a job classification goes through the meet and confer process with the affected employee association.
(2) Once the review of the job classification specification is finalized, the position is then posted and published on governrnentjobs.com and any other applicable job board.

Governrnentjobs.com is the most prolific online site used by public agencies to recruit employees and it is operated by NEOGOV.
(3) HR uses an online tracking system to ensure all candidates are fairly and systematically reviewed.
(4) HR then pre-screens all candidates to determine that each meets the minimum qualifications for the position and then organizes them from most qualified to least qualified based upon objective, nondiscriminatory criteria. (5) The most qualified candidates are then invited to a panel interview of independent reviewers, scored, and then objectively ranked starting with the best candidate, from which an eligibility list is generated.
2 11
(6) HR will then send to the hiring authority the application materials for the top five candidates on the eligibility list for a final, subjective interview and selection. The hiring authoiity will then contact HR infonning tliem of the selected candidate or identifying candidates for non-selection.
(7) Once a candidate is selected, HR then manages the negotiation process with the selected candidate until such time that a conditional offer is accepted or declined by the candidate.

While HR dedicates a substantial amount of time into recruiting the best candidates for any given position, there are substantial challenges that the City faces in this process:
(1) The local labor market is incredibly competitive, and the pool of qualified candidates has diminished over the years when compared to pre-COVID recruitment efforts. (2) The City's fiscal health projects instability to prospective candidates and causes them to perceive a high risk in accepting a position with the City. (3) Attracting candidates located outside of the local areas is challenging due to ever- increasing traffic congestion and fuel prices.
(4) The Public Employee Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) has disincentivized employees to remain at one public agency over a career or even remain in public sector employment. (5) Although public sector employment can offer better benefits (e.g., medical coverage, pension eligibility, etc.) in some industries, private sector higher wages tend to attract younger workers despite having little to no benefits. (6) Younger generations are not as likely as their older generation counterparts to remain tied to a singular employer, which causes them to freely move from one employer to another. (7) When evaluating candidates' skill sets developed in the private sector, such skills are not comparable or easily transferrable to those required in the public sector.

Once hired, the City takes several efforts to retain existing employees. For example, the City does generally offer a more competitive benefits package than its competitors, although there are several larger cities that offer much higher wages. To ensure that the City remains competitive, HR conducts a continuous analysis of positions to ensure that the wages remain competitive within the relative, comparative market median. HR evaluates the City's positions to determine if they were competitive with the market median and, in some cases, will come to City Council for approval to adjust the wages for positions that fall below the accepted competitive range. The City also strives to promote a positive workplace culture with activities celebrating the employees such as employee recognition events, employee appreciation events, training opportunities, and various support programs. However, due to the City's current $9.4 million structural deficit, the ability for the City to remain competitive in the market may not be sustainable and, with the impending workforce reduction that will likely result in layoffs, it will be increasingly difficult to maintain positive morale in the workplace.

In an effort to overcome some of the challenges the City is facing to fill its vacancies, the City and its various labor associations explored a completely new approach to the entire hiring process to improve efficiency, expand the pool of qualified candidates for consideration, and a "fast track" process to promote internal employees to increase morale and retention efforts. Last year, the City Council approved replacing its antiquated Civil Service Rules with the new Personnel Management Rules. In doing this, the City implemented a new hiring policy, which improved the efficiency and efficacy of the hiring process. One of the biggest improvements was the ability for the City to quickly hire qualified intemal candidates in vacancies. 3 12
Additionally, tlie City Manager implemented a new policy restricting the use of independent contractors except in circumstances where they are absolutely necessary and not before notification is provided to the impacted employee association. In many cases, motivated employees desire the opportunity to learn skills necessary to gain the required experience to advance to a higher-level vacancy, but in the past, there was no such pathway to gain this exposure and experience. However, this past fiscal year and in cooperation with the employee associations, a Training & Development Program was implemented to provide that pathway for employees to gain the experience necessary to compete for a future promotional opportunity. For example, the Police Department has successfully used this program to provide opportunities to Police Records Specialists to promote into the Police Dispatcher position.

For this coming Fiscal Year 2026/27, the biggest hurdle the City will face to effectively recruit and retain talented employees, and to reduce the overall vacancy rates, is the $9.4 million structural deficit. This deficit has caused the City to implement a workforce reduction plan, which is specifically designed to "freeze" positions when they do become vacant in an effort to limit the actual number of people who will be laid off at the end of this fiscal year.

DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) AND HOME INVESTMENT PARTERNSHIPS (HOME) FUNDS.

CONTINUE THIS ITEM TO THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON JUNE 9, 2026. THIS ITEM WILL BE CONTINUED DUE TO THE LATE RELEASE OF

FEDERAL APPROPRIATIONS AND STAFF REQUIRES ADDITIONAL TIME TO

REVIEW PROJECT BUDGETS AND SCHEDULES TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH HUD SPENDING DEADLINES.

PURPOSE: To consider adopting Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan for the CDBG and HOME Funds.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: Following the conclusion of the Public Hearing, the City Council will consider:
a. Adopting a Resolution approving the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan; b. Authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to submit to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan; and c. Authorizing the City Manager or his designee to enter into agreements with eligible subrecipients in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.

FISCAL IMPACT: In Fiscal Year 2026-2027, the City of South Gate has been allocated $1,153,140 in CDBG funds with an additional $34,099 available as carryover and $486,118.63 in HOME funds.

There is no fiscal impact to the City's General Fund.

NOTICING REQUIREMENT: Advertising and notification of the Public Hearing was conducted in compliance with Municipal Code Section 11.50.020 (Public Hearing Notification) and was published in The South Gate Press newspaper on March 26, 2026. The notice noted a 30-day comment period. Additionally, a draft copy of the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan ("AAP") and Notice were posted on the City's website. Any comments received will be addressed during this meeting.

ANALYSIS: Each year, the City prepares an Annual Action Plan in connection with the five-year Consolidated Plan, which details how the City will spend its allocated CDBG and HOME funds. The 1 36
AAP is the second year of the five-year Consolidated Plan cycle that was adopted on July 8' 2025.

The AAP has two principal purposes:
* To identify the projects and programs to be undertaken during the upcoming fiscal year, and the proposed objective and outcomes to be achieved witin the overall context of the five-year consolidated plan; and
* To act as the City's application process for federal formula grants, comprised of the CDBG and HOME programs.

For FY 2026-2027 HUD has allocated the City $1,153,140 in CDBG funds with an additional $34,099 available as carryover, and $486,118.63 in HOME funds.

On October 30, 2025, a legal notice of funding availability was published and notifications were sent to non-profit organizations and city departments to inform prospective applicants of the availability of CDBG funds for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) reviewed the applications and later heard presentations from the applicants at their meetings of February 18, 2026, and February 25, 2026. The CAC recommendation for the Public Service programming was that, should the City receive less funding, only the Graffiti Abatement allocation would be decreased. All other non-Public Service programming would be changed proportionately.

The proposed CDBG funding allocations as recommended by the Citizen Advisory Committee for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 are as follows:

Anticipated CDBG Funding Allocation for FY 2026-2027 $1,153,140 Carry Over $34,099
Administration (20% Cap) $230,628
CDBG: Fair Housing (2026) $24,000

BACKGROUND: The City of South Gate has been an annual recipient of CDBG fiinds since the enactment of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. The City is deemed as an "entitlement" jurisdiction because it maintains a population above 50,000 and meets certain other demographic criteria. CDBG 'funding can be used for a variety of projects and programs primarily benefiting persons of low- and moderate-income.

The HUD regulations regarding AAPs mandate citizen participation and public review process, including a public hearing, prior to submission. The draft Annual Action Plan is available for public review and comment (Attachment B). The deadline to submit an approved AAP is May 15, 2026.

It is important to note that under HUD regulations, providers funded under the Annual Action Plan must meet qualifying restrictions unless part of a designated category such as Seniors or Homeless.

These regulations include dociunented financial need through income tax forms for example. It can also require the applicant to hire contractors that must meet various federal labor requirements and insurance. Failure to adhere to these HUD regulations will mean that expenditures will be disqualified, andthe City would needto reimburse the federal funds. These restrictions canplace significant burdens on the subrecipient to ensure they are followed, which can place additional burdens on them administratively which are not usually reimbursable expenses or would be counted against the subrecipient award.

1. Introduction
The City of South Gate's 2026-2027 AAP is based on priorities established by the City's Five-Year Consolidate Plan (FY 2025-2029). The 2026-2027 Action Plan is the second year of the City's FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and serves as the City's blueprint for providing decent affordable housing to lower-income households, providing suitable living environments, expanding economic opportunities, and expanding the capacity of non-profit housing providers to the residents of the City of South Gate. This strategic plan sets forth goals, objectives, and performance benchmarks for measuring and establishing a framework for progress. The City will receive Sl,153,140 in FY 2026-2027 CDBG funds with an additional 534,099 available in carryover funds, for a total of Sl,187,239. The City will also receive 5486,118.63 in HOME funds for FY 2026-2027. Currently the City does not anticipate any additional HOME carryover funds for programming.

The City's Community Development Department manages, plans, submits, and implements the CDBG and HOME grant process. The Department is involved in activities which enhance coordination among public and non-profit, private housing providers, and health and service agencies.

2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
44 Performance Evaluation and Report (CAPER) annually, which documents progress toward implementing the strategies and meeting the goals established in the Consolidated Plan and the Annual Action Plans.

Over the past years, the City's CDBG funds were used for meeting the City's goals of providing decent housing, creating a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities to low-and moderate-income persons in South Gate.

Below is a summary of the City's program accomplishments for the FY 2024-2025, the most recent completed program year:

1. 296 people were assisted with tenant/landlord issues via fair housing services

3. The Graffiti Abatement program worked in areas that benefited over 90,000 residents

4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process The City is committed to maximizing community participation in the CDBG and HOME planning process. To ensure that its FY 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan was based on resident needs, the City used the following approach to create participation of residents, service providers, and other interested persons and organizations:

South Gate Citizens Advisory Committee
The South Gate Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) is an advisory board created by the City Council to ensure constant dialog exists between the City and the community. The role of the CAC is twofold. First, to ensure that the City Council is appraised of the needs, desires, and interests of City residents. Second, to review and make recommendations on CDBG funding to the City Council. The CAC is comprised of members representing the demographic and social range of residents in the City. The CAC was actively involved in the Annual Action Plan process.

The CAC reviewed and discussed the 2026-2027 Public Services applications and then made funding recommendations to the City Council for the Annual Action Plan. It is anticipated that the CAC will continue to serve in an advisory role in the CDBG process.

Annual Public Services Application Process
The annual Public Services selection process established by the City requires applicants to apply describing their proposed project or program and detailing how the project meets local and national CDBG objectives and federal requirements. City staff and the CAC review the public services applications and make a recommendation for CDBG funding to the City Council. The Annual Action Plan 4

1. Introduction
Activities to enhance the coordination between public and assisted housing providers and governmental health, mental health and service agencies are conducted on a regular basis.

Activities to encourage communication with key community stakeholders include soliciting and reviewing funding applications from housing, health care, and service providers through its Annual Action Plan process. The City also participates in local and regional committees such as the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) Continuum of Care and the Southern California Council of Governments (SCAG).

Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(1)).

Consultation for the 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan was achieved through a variety of strategies, including the CAC and conducting a public hearing. Continued coordination with City residents and local service providers, including previous CDBG subrecipients, is anticipated for planning efforts, as well as projectimplementation. The City Council also regularly communicates with the Community Development Department and relays resident needs so that needs are assessed and addressed throughout the implementation of the Annual Action Plan.

Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.

The City of South Gate is within the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority's (LAHSA) Continuum of Care in Service Planning Area (SPA) 7. LAHSA was established in December 1993 as a Joint Powers Authority to coordinate the effective and efficient utilization of Federal and local funding in providing services to homeless people throughout Los Angeles City and County.

LAHSA coordinates and manages over 570 million dollars annually in Federal, State, County and City funds for programs that provide shelter, housing, and services to homeless people in Los Angeles City and County. The City coordinates the delivery of homeless services with LAHSA and participates in the annual LAHSA Homeless Count. Participating in these events provides staff with insight into homeless needs and services. Data from the homeless count is utilized to determine homeless service needs and levels in the City.

Annual Action Plan 14
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
55 Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied.

Leveraqinq
The City and HUD share an interest in leveraging HUD resources to the maximum extent that it is feasible to address priority needs and associated goals. During the 5-year period of the Consolidated Plan the City will seek funds to leverage the Federal CDBG and HOME funds.

Some leveraging resources options are listed below:

Low-income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) - The California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) facilitates the investment of private capital into the development of affordable rental housing for low-income Californians. TCAC allocates federal and state tax credits to the developers of these projects. Corporations provide equity to build the projects in return for the tax credits.

Affordable Housing Sustainable Communities Housing Program: AHSC directs investments to historically under-invested communities, giving more Californians access to opportunity. At least 50% of AHSC funding is required by state law to be allocated to affordable housing and projects in, or that provide a benefit to, disadvantaged communities.

Housin@ Choice Vouchers: The South Gate Housing Authority"s Section 8 rental voucher program provides rental assistance to help very low-income families afford decent, safe, and sanitary rental housing. The Housing Authority accepts the application for rental assistance, selects the applicant for admission, and iSSues the selected family a rental voucher confirming the family's eligibility for assistance. The family must then find and lease a dwelling unit suitable to the family's needs and desires in the private rental market. The Housing Authority pays the owner a portion of the rent (a housing assistance payment (HAP)) on behalf of the family.

Mortgage Credit Certificate Program - Income tax credits are available to first-time homebuyers to buy new or existing single-family housing. The County of Los Angeles administers this program on behalf of jurisdictions in the County.

Matchinq Requirements
A participating jurisdiction (PJ) receiving HOME funds is required to contribute a 25% match of non-HOME funds for every dollar of HOME funds spent. The HOME statute also provides a reduction of the matching contribution under three conditions: 1) Fiscal distress, 2) severe fiscal distress, and 3) presidential disaster declarations.

Annual Action Plan 15
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
zl 56
A PJ may be entitled to a greater reduction if an increase in its poverty rate or a decrease in its per capita income causes it to be eligible for a 100% match reduction. If a PJ satisfies both distress criteria, it is determined to be in severe fiscal distress and receives a 100% reduction of match.

The City of South Gate has been identified by HUD as a fiscally distressed jurisdiction for several consecutive years, receiving at least a 50% match reduction. The City anticipates that it will continue to be classified as so through this next Annual Action Plan. rf appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan.

There is currently no publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs.

The primary obstacles to meeting the underserved needs oflow-and moderate-income people include lack of funding from federal, state, and other local sources, the high cost of housing, and the lack of availability of home improvement financing in the private lending industry. To address these obstacles, the City is investing CDBG and HOME funds through the 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan in projects that provide deferred loans to low-and moderate-income homeowners for home improvements, projects that provide public and neighborhood services to low-and moderate-income people, and projects that prevent homelessness.

68 AP-50 Geographic Distribution - 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed.

HUD funded activities are limited to the City's low-and moderate-income areas or residents.

Areas of the City outside of the CDBG low-and moderate-income areas will benefit from activities that are limited-clientele in nature, i.e., a person/household can benefit from a federally assisted program provided they meet the program's eligibility criteria. Eligibility is typically established by household income and household size.

CDBG program funds will be expended based on program criteria. For example, public services are available on a citywide basis for qualified beneficiaries; fair housing and program administration activities will also be carried out on a citywide basis.

HOME funds will be utilized towards the rehabilitation of low/moderate income homes.

Geographic Distribution
Target Area Percentage of Funds
Citywide 58%
Target Areas 42%
Tible 8 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically When determining the geographic distribution where the City will allocate their investments, City considerations include whether the activity or program will physically be located within an already designated CDBG Target Area, and whether the program will directly benefit the low- to-moderate income population in that area. The City also takes public demand, recommendations from City departments, performance of previously CDBG-funded subrecipients, recommendations of other local entities like the County partners and local non- profits into account.

Discussion
An activity can be designated as serving either: (1) 'Citywide", or (2) 'in the CDBG Target Areas'. "Citywide' is a designation used for programs that offer services to the entire community. Many public programs provide services to the entire City, the nature of these program services is often to exclusively serve low-to-moderate income people. If a program is designated as 'CDBG Target Area' it is confined exclusively to the CDBG Target Area.

69 Affordable Housing
AP-55 Affordable Housing - 91.220(g)
Introduction
One of the greatest impediments to affordable housing is the low ratio of available federal and state resources to the high need of affordable housing needs.

As there are limited opportunities and funding available to provide affordable housing opportunities, the City consistently seeks new partnerships to increase the affordable housing options in the city. Ways that the City addressed affordable housing needs include the following programs:

Housing Choice Voucher Program: The City will continue to provide rental assistance to extremely low- and low-income households through the South Gate Housing Authority's Housing Choice Voucher Program. Renter-households will be assisted, which will include elderly, single-parent, and disabled special needs households.

Fair Housing Program: The City's Fair Housing Program is administered by the Fair Housing Foundation, who provide fair housing services and landlord/tenant information to participants who request counseling, resource referral, complaint investigation, and public education on all forms of housing discrimination. Renter-households will be assisted, which will include elderly, single-parent, and disabled special needs households. However, these are not counted toward the affordable housing goals.

Homeowner Rehabilitation Programs: The City will invest in homeowner rehabilitation programs to improve substandard housing and maintain affordable housing for its residents.

72 AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities - 91.220(i) Introduction
The City is located within the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) Continuum of Care. The continuum provides oversight of federal homeless assistance dollars and collaborates with local communities to provide the best service to residents who are homeless. The Los Angeles Continuum conducts quarterly community meetings, and when appropriate the City attends and participates in these meetings.

South Gate residents who are of low-to-moderate income and at risk of experiencing homelessness will receive assistance to obtain and maintain housing stability through CDBG funded activities. Services provided may include income payments for low-income eligible residents, case management, and referrals for housing support.

Describe the jurisdictions' one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including:
* Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The Salvation Army Bell Shelter operates a homeless outreach program which consists of a mobile outreach team. In coordination with the South Gate Police Department Liaison and personnel from the Salvation Army Bell Shelter street outreach efforts by vehicle and foot are undertaken. Street outreach, case management, and referrals are provided to homeless families and individuals through this program. Homeless clients are provided with guidance identifying barriers to overcoming homelessness and developing a plan to address identified challenges. The team also addresses needs which may include accessing mainstream services, increasing income, developing self-determination, and accessing shelter and housing.
* Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons Locally, the Salvation Army Bell Shelter operates a comprehensive program that offers transitional care for up to 350 homeless men and women. The goal of the Bell Shelter is to meet the needs of the homeless population by addressing the myriads of reasons why people become homeless and assisting them in developing a higher quality oflife through independence. Services offered include emergency shelter, transitional housing, substance abuse rehabilitation, case management, counseling, on-site health care & medical referrals, HIV/AIDS education, ESL classes, computer training, vocational Annual Action Plan 32
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)

assistance, job referrals and life skills classes.

The South Gate Domestic Family Violence Education and Prevention program administered by the South Gate Police Department provides shelter, court advocacy, counseling, 24-hour hotline, crisis intervention, support groups and case management to domestic and sexual abuse victims.
* Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again.

The City of South Gate collaborates with different organizations to prevent the recurrence of homelessness, as much as possible. The City partners with local organizations and non- profits to offer various programs and resources for residents experiencing homelessness or who are at risk of homelessness. Locally, the Salvation Army Bell Shelter helps address the gaps in the City and the need for services to residents experiencing homelessness, unemployment, substance abuse, and other social and health resources. Available services include case management, transportation and employment services, health and mental health referrals, life skills, individual and group therapy, social and recreational activities, needs assessment, benefits advocacy, and permanent housing assistance. The Salvation Army Bell Shelter works directly with the South Gate Police Department, Community Development, Parks and Recreation, the Housing Authority, and other local organizations to promote services and reach target populations.

To help prevent the recurrence of homelessness the program helps participants search for permanent housing and seek employment to maintain housing stability. The case management team conducts workshops to asSiSt residents with building resumes and other career preparation needed. Participants are referred to job openings and job fairs and are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities such as attending monthly meetings, events, and volunteering at the community garden.

To combat homelessness, the City funds a comprehensive Fair Housing Program that offers education and outreach activities for tenants, landlords, and owners. Education consists of workshops, presentations, community meetings, and training. The purpose of this program is to guide all parties on their rights, laws, and responsibilities. The Fair Annual Action Plan 33
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
a31
74 Housing Program conducts rental counseling workshops for those who are concerned with evictions, rent increases and notices.
* Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs.

The South Gate Police Department has different practice methods for individuals being discharged and those who are seeking support services. The Police Department links individuals to available resources and agencies in the City including People AssiSting the Homeless (PATH), which is an organization that helps individuals experiencing homelessness in the community. PATH distributes food, and clothing to residents, connects residents to permanent housing, and provides ongoing supportive services for residents in need. PATH has an outreach and prevention team that works in areas where homelessness is more prevalent and connects individuals with employment. The South Gate Police Department makes referrals to PATH forindividuals who are being discharged from jail for services like interim housing, rapid rehousing, employment, and other permanent supportive services.

There are no hospitals in the City of South Gate, therefore the City does not often have individuals who are being discharged from hospitals. However, if individuals are seeking information the Police Department reaches out to PATH staff for resources and supportive services. Additionally, if an individual is in custody and needs medical assistance, the City works with the Department of Mental Health to address their needs and until they are returned to custody after treatment. The Department currently includes these practices as part of patrol officers' duty.

Discussion
There are various agencies in the region that provide housing options and case management assistance, including for those returning from mental and physical health institutions. They provide the option of living independently in a group setting. Some of these agencies include the following:

Rio Hondo Temporary Shelter, Norwalk - Provides emergency food and transitional shelter for families with children in the Cerritos, Downey, La Mirada, Montebello, Annual Action Plan 34

76 AP-75 Barriers to Affordable Housing - 91.220(j) Introduction
Barriers to affordable housing, as outlined in the City"s most recent Consolidated Plan, include:
* Affordability concerns stemming from Senate Bill9 (SB 9) and Assembly Bill 1033 (AB 1033)
* Extensive environmental review for new developments required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) which can delay housing projects. * Impacts on housing supply and taxes from Proposition 13 * Impacts of Article 34 - Voter for Approval for Low-Rent Housing * Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Guidelines
* Zoning policies
Actions planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment.

As a step to address barriers to affordable housing, the City has updated its Housing Element for the 2021-2029 planning period, identifying strategies to conserve existing affordable housing, provide adequate housing sites, assist in developing affordable housing, remove governmental constraints, and promote equal housing opportunities.

Addressing barriers to affordable housing will require ongoing collaboration between local, regional, and state entities to create a more supportive environment for affordable housing development. The City will continue to consider alternate forms of residential development, including various types of small-lot, single-family subdivisions; mobile home parks that allow owner-occupied spaces; senior citizen multifamily housing developments offering various degrees of care and assistance; mixed-use residential, and planned unit developments.

!2.. 77
AP-85 0ther Actions - 91.220(k)
Introduction
Outlined below are the actions the City will implement to address the "Other" sub-strategies of the Annual Action Plan.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The primary obstacles to meeting the underserved needs of low-and moderate-income people include lack of funding from federal, state, and other local sources, the high cost of housing that is not affordable to low-and moderate-income people, and the lack of availability of home improvement financing in the private lending industry. To address these obstacles, the City is invests HOME funds towards the construction of affordable housing development. CDBG funds are being allocated to organizations that provide public and neighborhood services to low-and moderate-income people and those with special needs that can help offset other household costs that create financial burdens for individuals.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing City also provides rental assistance through the Housing Choice Voucher Program to very low- income households through its Housing Authority. The City certifies, when available and appropriate, Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) to provide affordable housing using low HOME rents.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards All unitsin a project assisted with CDBG and HOME funds must comply with the regulations found at 24 CFR Part 35. The purpose of the regulation is to identify and address lead-based paint hazards before children are exposed to lead. This requirement has been in effect since September 15, 2000.

Lead-based paint hazards are found in homes built prior to 1978. All Grantees and Participating Jurisdictions must assess homes built prior to 1978 for lead hazards and conduct interim or abatement controls as warranted. Most of the homes in South Gate were built prior to 1978 and have lead-based paint somewhere on the structure, which is typically found on windowsills, doorways or under the eaves. The hazards of lead-based paint are primarily for young children up to age 6, as they are more likely to eat peeling paint. Lead adversely affects the development of a child's brain and other organs.

The City's strategy in addressing lead-based paint hazards involves an educational component for the public, printed outreach information to those households in the "lead hot zones" as Annual Action Plan 37
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)

identified by the County, and printed information are given to participants in the City's rehabilitation loan programs.

The City offers a Residential Rehabilitation Program which focuses on rehabilitating existing housing stock throughout the City covering interior and exterior home improvement and/or repairs. In combination with the Residential Rehabilitation Program, the City offers grants to be used for termite and lead abatement. Lead assessments are conducted on all housing projects, both single family and multi-family units. Additionally, all Housing Choice Voucher participant rental units are inspected annually.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The implementation of CDBG and HOME activities that will help to reduce the number of poverty level families include:
* Supporting activities that expand the supply of housing that is affordable to low-and moderate-income households.
* Supportingactivitiesthatpreservethesupplyofdecenthousingthatisaffordabletolow- and moderate-income households.

Supporting a continuum of housing and public service programs to prevent and eliminate homelessness.
* Supporting housing preservation programs that assure low-income households have a safe, decent, and sanitary place to live; and
* Supporting public services for low-and moderate-income residents including those with special needs and those at risk of homelessness offered by nonprofit organizations.

In addition to these local efforts, mainstream state and federal resources also contribute to reducing the number of individuals and families in poverty. In California, the primary programs that assist families in poverty are CalWORKs, CalFresh (formerly food stamps) and MediCal.

Together, these programs provide individuals and families with employment assistance, subsidies for food, medical care, childcare, and cash payments to meet basic needs such as housing, nutrition, and transportation. Other services are available to assist persons suffering from substance abuse, domestic violence, and mental illness.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure The City has tried to develop an institutional structure that will help identify and access resources to improve the community. The City will continue to work with nonprofit entities to deliver public services. As a member of the LAHSA, the City will provide critical information to the County of Los Angeles for preparation of the County's Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance grant Annual Action Plan 38
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)

79 applications. South Gate will provide critical information regarding mainstream funds the City will make available to serve the homeless and will also assist in identifying and prioritizing gaps and needs in the regional system of care.

Externally, the City is in direct contact with the Chamber of Commerce and the Tweedy Mile Business Association, both of which represent private industry. The City also partners with various nonprofit organizations to provide affordable housing opportunities. These nonprofits act as subrecipients to provide a variety of services to the community.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City of South Gate is proactive in coordinating with assisted-housing providers, particularly the City's Housing Authority, homeless assistance centers and programs, youth and family oriented social service organizations and health organizations which provide outreach and counseling.

The Community Development department is comprised of Building & Safety, Planning, Housing and Code Enforcement Divisions, who work closely together to coordinate programs with local social service providers to either meet needs directly or to make referrals to outside services, as necessary. Currently, staff make referrals based upon the available known assistance data.

82 If there are no Net Proceeds from Sale, then the City shall forgive the remaining loan balance.

RESALE
The City will impose HOME resale provisions on any property sold by a CHDO or any other entity receiving a HOME development subsidy from the City to a homebuyer when it does not provide a direct subsidy for down payment and/or closing costs to the homebuyer.

Resale is the recovery of HOME funds upon the sale or transfer, rental or lease, refinancing, or the homebuyer(s) is no longer a physical occupant(s) of the property:

In instances where the home has been rented or leased, refinanced, or the Borrower(s) is no longer a physical occupant(s) of the property the total outstanding balance of the HOME loan shall be immediately due & payable to the City; In instances where the Homebuyer's home is sold to a qualified low-income buyer at an affordable price, the HOME loan balance shall be transferred to the subsequent qualified buyer & the affordability period shall remain in force; The resale provision shall remain in force from the date legal documents are executed at loan closing until the expiration of the affordability period defined in the Written Agreement.

Resale requires the homeowner to sell the home to a low-income family & at an affordable price
A low-income family is one whose income at time of purchase from homebuyer is no greater than 80% of the AMI as defined by HUD.

The contract for sale of the home must include a provision requiring the family acquiring the home to be qualified by the City prior to acquisition.

CITY COUNCIL
ACENJA JBI[LL
For the Regular Meeting of: Apri} 28, 2026
Originating Department: Community Development
Department Director:

SUBJECT: ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 9 (BUILDINGS), OF THE SOUTH

GATE MUNICIPAL CODE, IN ITS ENTIRETY BY ADOPTING BY REFERENCE THE 2025 EDITION OF THE CALIFORNIA CODES OF REGULATIONS, TITLE 24 AND THE 2024 EDITION OF THE UNIFORM SOLAR, HYDRONICS AND GEOTHERMAL AND THE 2024 EDITION OF SWIMMING POOL, SPA AND HOT TUB CODES

PUBLISHED BY THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF PLUMBING AND MECHANICAL OFFICIALS.

PURPOSE: To adopt new State Building Codes which are mandated for statewide enforcement on July 1, 2026.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City Council will consider, following the conclusion of the public hearing, waiving the reading in fiill and introducing an Ordinance amending Title 9 (Buildings) of the South Gate Municipal Code by adopting by reference the 2025 California Code of Regulations, Title 24 ("2025 Building Standards Code") and the 2024 International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials Codes, FISCAL IMPACT: It is estimated that the cost for staff training and the purchase of the 2025 California Building Standards Code books for City staff will be $7,000. This amount will be expended from funds included in the FY 2026-2027 Budget (100-602-42-6305 and 100-602-42- 6340).

The new State Building Codes have significant changes from previous editions and will require training of Building and Safety Division staff, design professionals and contractors in coming months. Training on the new codes is currently available through a number of professional associations including the International Code Council (ICC), the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO), the International Association of Electrical Inspectors (IAEI), and the California Building Officials (CALBO).

ANALYSIS: In accordance with state law, the 2025 Edition of the California Building Standards Code was adopted by the State Building Standards Commission and published in the California Code of Regulations, Title 24 ("2025 Building Standards Code"). 1 92
State law mandates that California jurisdictions enforce the 2025 Building Standards Code, effective July 1, 2026, for all new building constructions in California. While the California Building Standards Commission adopts building code standards to be used statewide, City Council action to adopt these codes at a local level is also part of the code adoption process.

Adoption of these codes by the City allows for the inclusion of administrative provisions and limited amendments to the state codes. State law permits local jurisdictions to make modifications to the state codes that are reasonably necessary because of local conditions provided the City makes express findings that the changes are needed because of climatic, geologic or topographic conditions. The proposed Ordinance contains the adoption of these codes and administrative provisions for the enforcement of the codes. The Ordinance makes findings regarding local geographic, climatic and topographic conditions that make the amendments to the state codes reasonably necessary for building construction in the City.

In accordance with state law, the 2024 Edition of the Uniform Swimming Pool, Spa and Hot Tub Code and the 2024 Edition of the Uniform Solar, Hydronics and Geothermal Code were adopted by the State Building Standards and published by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials.

Administrative provisions of the California Building Standards Codes are adopted and include past amendments carried forward as recommended by the City's Building Official. Such amendments include provisions regarding permits, fees, inspections, completion of residential remodeling and Board of Appeals proceedings. The City has not made any amendments to building, residential, plumbing, electrical and mechanical codes for over thirteen years. A summary of existing amendments carried forward are provided as Attachment B. Revisions to the California Building Code were made to improve procedures with building permits and inspections as follows:
* Clarification on the expiration of building permits for new structures from 180 days to 365 days.
* Clarification on the expiration of building permits issued to legalized unpermitted structures (60 days).
* Clarification on concealed work done without required inspection. * Clarification on requirements for the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. * Clarification on the release of utilities.
* Clarification on the process for legalizing unpermitted structures. * Clarification on the process for structures which cannot be legalized.

BACKGROUND: The state's Building Standards Codes have been subject to a series of major transformations since the 2001 International Code Council (ICC) model codes were introduced.

The new 2025 Building Standards Code utilizes the most up to date code documents which have been developed through a national code development process. These construction codes include the California Administrative, Building, Residential, Electrical, Plumbing, Mechanical, Energy, Historical Building, Existing Building, Reference Standards and Green Building Standards as well as other related codes.

Adoption of the proposed Ordinance incorporates the 2025 Building Standards Codes and the 2024 International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) codes which will keep the City's building regulations consistent with those of the State. They provide 2 93
minimum standards to safeguard life or limb, health, property and public welfare. The proposed Ordinance is necessary to keep us in compliance with State regulations while allowing the City to properly address special local conditions.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: Environmental review is not required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonable foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378), Title 14, California Code of Regulations, because adoption of the proposed Ordinances has no potential for resulting in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.

NOTICING REQUIREMENTS: A public hearing notice was published in South Gate Press on April 16, 2026. Information regarding the adoption of the 2025 California Building Code and the local training opportunities are available on the Community Development/Building and Safety Division website.

The new 2025 California Code of Regulations, Title 24 is available for review at California Building Standards Commission website: www.dzs.ca.zov/BSC/Codes. Bilingual public information is currently posted in the Department of Community Development containing important information regarding this upcoming change to construction codes used in the State of California and their effective date. Requests to review the 2025 Edition of the California Code of Regulations are available through the City Clerk's Office.

SECTION 14. The modifications set forth in this ordinance which pertain to California Building Code, the California Residential Code, the California Existing Code, the California Plumbing Code, and the California Electrical Code, are reasonably required due to local climatic, geographical and topographical conditions, and due to the need, in certain instances, to recover the actual costs and expenses incurred by the City in processing various applications for permits which are required by such technical codes. Modifications to those technical codes are reasonably required, in part, because of the local climate, which is characterized by hot, dry summers, followed by strong Santa Ana winds and heavy winter rains which make buildings and structures vulnerable to rapidly spreading wind-driven fires. Furthermore, the City is located near to historic and active earthquake faults which require special safety measures and precautions.

SECTION 15. The adoption of this Ordinance shall 'fulfill the City of South Gate's obligation under Section 17958 of the Health and Safety Code to adopt and apply the provisions of the California Building Standards Code to all occupancies within the City.

SECTION 16. This Ordinance shall take effect on the first (lst) day after its adoption and be enforced on July 1, 2026.

SECTION 17. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause the same to be published as required by law.

CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA JIBUILL
For the Regular Meeting o:f: April 28, 2026
Originating Department:

Department Director: U-
odit Glaze Rob Houston
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A POLICY ON

DISRUPTION OF REMOTE PARTICIPATION DURING CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS IN COMPLIANCE WITH SENATE BILL 707 AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR

IMPLEMENT ATION
PURPOSE: To establish a formal policy addressing disruptions to remote participation during City Council meetings, as required by Senate Bill 707 (Durazo, 2025) and Government Code section 54953.4, and to establish procedures governing public comment and the conduct of meetings when remote access is disrupted. The City Council will also consider an appropriation from the General Fund unassigned fund balance to the Information Systems Fund (account 522- 305-12-6730) to fund implementation of real-time AI-based translation and closed captioning services required to support compliant remote public participation.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Council will consider:
a. Adopting a Resolution establishing a policy addressing disruptions during remote participation at City Council meetings, in compliance with Senate Bill 707. b. Approving an appropriation of $41,687.50 from the General Fund unassigned :tund balance to the Information Systems Fund (account 522-305-12-6730) to fund the first-year subscription and one-time implementation costs of real-time AI-based translation and closed captioning services in support of SB 707 compliance.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with the adoption of the Policy itself.

To implement the real-time translation and closed captioning services necessary to support SB 707 compliance, staff is requesting an appropriation of $41,687.50 from the General Fund unassigned fund balance to the Information Systems Fund (accoiu'it 522-305-12-6730). Tis amount covers the first-year subscription cost and one-time implementation cost. The anticipated total fiscal impact over a three-year period is $60,000, covering the ongoing costs of these services (excluding one-time implementation cost). Staff will include the projected ongoing costs in 'future fiscal year budget submissions for City Council consideration.

ANALYSIS: The Ralph M. Brown Act requires that meetings of local legislative bodies be open and accessible to the public. Senate Bill 707 added Governrnent Code section 54953.4, which 1 121
imposes new requirements on "eligible legislative bodies." An eligible legislative body is defined to include a city council of a city with a population of 30,000 or more. The City of South Gate, with a population of approximately 90,000, is an eligible legislative body and is therefore subject to these requirements. Among other things, section 54953.4 requires each eligible legislative body, on or before July 1, 2026, to adopt a policy at a noticed public meeting in open session, and not on the consent calendar, addressing disruptions of telephonic or internet service during meetings.

The proposed policy establishes the procedures the City will follow in the event of a disruption that prevents the public from attending, observing, or participating in a meeting via telephonic or internet-based remote access. The key elements of the policy include the following:
@ Recessing the open session of the meeting for a minimum of one hour or until service is restored, whichever occurs earlier
Making documented good faith efforts to restore service pursuant to a defined restoration checklist, and providing public notice during the recess by website, social media, and signage at City Hall, including in Spanish when feasible * Delaying :[urther action on agenda items until remote public access is restored, with actions taken in violation subject to challenge under Government Code section 54960.1 * Allowing the City Council three options when service cannot be restored: (i) continue affected items to a subsequent meeting at a time and place certain; (ii) adjourn and re- notice; or (iii) reconvene only after adopting, by roll call vote, findings that good faith efforts to restore service have been made and that the public interest in continuing the meeting outweighs the public interest in remote meeting access Remote Access Technology Implementation
Staff evaluated a range of remote participation platforms, including dedicated governrnent meeting solutions and standalone telephonic conferencing services, and analyzed each against the requirements of Government Code section 54953.4, cost, integration with existing systems, staff training requirements, and long-term maintenance. Staff recommends a two-way telephonic call-in option implemented through the City's existing Microso'ft 365 and Microsoft Teams infrastructure. This approach satisfies the statutory requirement for a two-way telephonic service, leverages infrastructure the City already owns and staff already supports, avoids the cost of a new third-party platform, and can be deployed ahead of the July 1, 2026, operative date.

In parallel, staff will pilot Wordly AI for real-time translation and interpretation services at Council meetings, replacing the current reliance on in-person interpreters. Wordly uses artificial intelligence to provide simultaneous interpretation across multiple languages, delivered to attendees on their own mobile devices, both in the Council Chambers and to those attending remotely. This is intended to produce a more consistent and seamless experience for Spanish- speaking residents and other language cornrnunities, whether they attend in person or remotely, and to support the City's separate obligation under Governrnent Code section 54953.4 to reasonably assist members of the public who request interpretation services.

Public Comment Procedures for Remote Participation Consistent with the City's existing agenda language, comments from the audience on non- 2 122
agenda items are limited to three (3) minutes per speaker, and the collective initial period for non-agenda public cornrnent is limited to 45 minutes. Any speaker who does not get an opportunity to speak during the initial 45-minute period due to that time limitation will be given the opportunity to speak at the end of the meeting prior to adjournment.

Under the practice recommended in this staff report, speakers attending in person will be heard first, followed by speakers participating remotely by telephonic service. This sequencing is intended to preserve the orderly conduct of the meeting while the City transitions to a hybrid public comment format. To ensure consistency with Government Code section 54953.4, the following safeguards will apply: (a) the 45-minute cap applies to the combined queue of in- person and remote speakers; (b) remote speakers who are in the queue at the time the 45-minute cap is reached will be guaranteed the opportunity to speak at the end of the meeting prior to adjournment, in the order they joined the queue; (c) the remote telephonic platform shall remain active through the end-of-meeting public cornrnent opportunity; and (d) the sequencing rule shall not be used to defer any speaker who has identified a disability-based need to participate remotely, who shall be heard in turn with in-person speakers.

Staff notes that Goverent Code section 54953.4 requires that remote public comments be offered in real time and prohibits requiring comments to be submitted in advance. The in-person- first sequencing described above represents a good faith effort to balance orderly meeting administration with the statutory right to real-time remote comment and is supported by the end- of-meeting guarantee for deferred remote speakers. Staff will monitor the experience during the first few months of implementation and return to the City Council with any recommended adjustments, if any. The City Attorney has reviewed the public comment sequencing procedure.

Related SB 707 Compliance Items
Adoption of this policy is one of several actions required under Government Code section 54953.4 by July 1, 2026. Staff is separately preparing the following related items for Council consideration in advance of that deadline: (1) implementation of the two-way telephonic remote participation option through Microsoft Teams; (2) translation of meeting agendas into applicable languages, including Spanish; (3) a dedicated public meetings webpage with participation instructions, a meeting calendar, and outreach materials; (4) written procedures for processing disability accommodation requests for remote participation; and (5) outreach to community organizations and non-English-speaking media to invite participation in public meetings. Staff will return to the City Council with each of these items as they are finalized.

Adoption of this policy ensures the City remains compliant with SB 707 while maintaining transparency and public participation.

BACKGROUND: On October 3, 2025, the Governor signed Senate Bill 707 into law, amending and adding provisions of the Brown Act related to public participation and teleconferencing, including the addition of Government Code section 54953.4.

Effective July 1, 2026, every eligible legislative body subject to Government Code section 54953.4 must provide the public with the ability to attend open meetings via a two-way telephonic service or a two-way audiovisual platform, must adopt a written policy addressing 3 123
disruptions of such service, and must comply with related outreach, translation, and accessibility requirements. The statute requires the disruption policy to be approved at a noticed public meeting in open session on or before July 1, 2026, and not on the consent calendar, and specifies the procedures the body must follow in the event of a disruption.

SUBJECT: TWEEDY MILE ADVISORY BOARD ANNUAL REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026/27 AND RESOLUTION DECLARING THE CITY'S INTENTION TO LEVY AND COLLECT ASSESSMENTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026/27 FOR THE PARKING

AND BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT AREA (KNOWN AS THE TWEEDY MILE

BUSINESS DISTRICT) BUSINESS LICENSE
PURPOSE: To approve the Tweedy Mile Advisory Board's Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2026/27 and declare the City's intention to levy and collect assessments for Fiscal Year 2026/27 for the Parking and Business Improvement Area Business License.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Coiu'icil will consider:
a. Approving the Tweedy Mile Advisory Board's Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2026/27; and
b. Adopting a Resolution declaring the City's intention to levy and collect assessments for Fiscal Year 2026/27 for the Parking and Business Improvement Area (known as the Tweedy Mile Business District) Business License and scheduling a Public Hearing for May 26, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT: The amount of estimated funding available for use in Fiscal Year 2026/27 is $48,510. The Annual Assessment generates approximately $20,000 for the Tweedy Mile Business Improvement District. General retail trade promotion activities did not occur during this period, resulting in a carryover balance of $28,510 into the new fiscal year.

ALIGNMENT WITH COUNCIL GOALS: The Parking and Business Improvement Area Business License meets the City Council's goal to improve the business environment of the Tweedy Mile Business District.

ANALYSIS: On November 2, 1970, the City Coiu'icil adopted Ordinance No. 1129 adding Chapter

2.64 (Parking and Business Improvement Area Business License), to Title 2 (Licenses - Business Regulations), of the South Gate Municipal Code establishing a Parking and Business Improvement Area ("Area"), pursuant to the Parking and Business Improvement Act Law of 1965, Part 5 of Division 18 of the California Streets and Highway Code Section 36000 through 36081. 1 133
The Area works by having the City levy an additional business license tax on businesses located within the designated Area and then annually remitting those funds back to the Business Improvement District (BID). Section 2.64.040 (Uses and Purpose), of Title 2 (Licenses-Business Regulations) of the South Gate Municipal Code states that the funds collected by the City and remitted to the BID can only be used for the following purposes:

C.

Decoration of any public place in the area;
Promotion of public events which are to take place on or in public places in the area; and;
The general promotion of retail trade activities in the area.

The City's Municipal Code also requires that the Tweedy Mile Advisory Board ("Board") submit an Annual Report to the City Council no later than June Ist of each year. The Aru'iual Report shall specify the expenses, services, activities, and programs to be funded by the assessment for the upcoming fiscal year(s), in accordance with the requirements of Sections 36530 and 36533 of the California Streets and Highways Code. Said Code also requires the City Council to approve the Annual Report, and, after, shall adopt a Resolution declaring the City's intention to levy an annual assessment for the fiscal year and schedule a Public Hearing to allow public testimony regarding the proposed assessment.

The Board approved the attached Tweedy Mile Advisory Board Annual Report (Attachment A).

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Annual Report which includes a program budget for Fiscal Year 2026/27. In addition to the Annual Report, staff also recommend that the City Council adopt the proposed Resolution declaring the City's intention to levy and collect assessments for Fiscal Year 2026/27 (Attachment B) and approve the scheduling of a Public Hearing for May 26, 2026. Together, the Resolution and Annual Report are the initial steps to levy the proposed assessments and approve the program budget for Fiscal Year 2026/27.

BACKGROUND: On April 6, 2026, the Board approved its Annual Report which included a proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2025/26. As in years past, no tax increase or changes to the assessment methodology are proposed for assessments to be collected in Fiscal Year 2026/27.

BOARD'S BUDGET RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025/26:
a) $48,510 for general promotion of retail trade activities, including potential decorations (to be evaluated)
The proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2026/27 is included in the Annual Report. Funding is anticipated to be used for the installation, removal, and storage of seasonal decorations along Tweedy Blvd., subject to further Board evaluation and approval. Approximately $48,510 is expected to support these decoration-related costs. The Board will review and approve specific funding requests in the next Fiscal Year.

ANNUAL REPORT:

To implement the Board's Parking and Business Improvement Area Business License recommendations, the City Council must approve the Annual Report and adopt a Resolution of Intent to Levy Assessments for the Fiscal Year 2026/27. The Annual Report includes 2 134
information regarding the assessment methodology, boundaries, and a planned budget with activities for the upcoming fiscal year. Upon adoption of the proposed Resolution of Intent, Parking and Business Improvement Area members will be notified by mail of the proposed assessments and the Resolution will be published in the Los Angeles Wave newspaper. The City Council will conduct a Public Hearing on May 26,2026, for public testimony on the proposed assessment levy and budget. At the Public Hearing, the City Council will hear and consider protests against the assessments. If business owners in the area who would be responsible for paying 50% or more of the proposed assessments submit written protests by 6:30 p.m. on May 26, 2026-and those protests are not withdrawn enough to drop below the 50% threshold-the City Council will not move forward with the proposed assessments for one year from the date it determines a majority protest exists.

ASSESSMENT/BUDGET ADOPTION SCHEDULE:

Staff propose the following schedule to continue the collection of annual assessments as required by state law and the South Gate Municipal Code:
