Staff said the program supports residents seeking early‑childhood credentials and classroom experience.

The program includes classroom instruction, a required internship component and assistance with job applications. Staff said the program provides interpretation in multiple languages, and noted that laptops and other resources are available to participants who need them.

Staff explained that participants who meet the program requirements can apply for the Associate Teacher’s Permit and work with children ages 0–5. The program organizer said it requires 480 internship hours and that the city provides a modest stipend for interns: staff said a $500 monthly stipend is available for participants completing roughly 40 hours per month, with other prorated amounts for part‑time internships.

Applications are open through the end of the month, and staff said the program will hold an informational Zoom session this Thursday. Staff emphasized interview scheduling is underway and that interpretation and other supports are available for non‑English speakers.

No action was taken; staff invited interested residents to attend the informational session and to contact the recreation division for application details.","A city‑supported training program will provide a Child Development Associate credential pathway with interpretation, internship support and monthly stipends for eligible participants; an informational session is planned via Zoom.",{"_33":85,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":86,"_41":42,"_43":87,"_45":87,"_46":88,"_48":89,"_50":90,"_52":91,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":92,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":93,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6653414,"Baldwin Park wins $2 million county park grant; public input guides Morgan and Hilda Solis park plans",3660000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2479901-a7ee7717e1f037303f43c05475be3258&start=3660&end=3660","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2479901-a7ee7717e1f037303f43c05475be3258/thumbnail_3660000.jpg","/articles/6653414/Baldwin-Park-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Baldwin-Park-wins-2-million-county-park-grant-public-input-guides-Morgan-and-Hilda-Solis-park-plans","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6653414-c826c1d72b99bcc94f2caac5bb6c0afb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771180910&Signature=dNB5vf6-6PPqkwx3t~-OO2a0trPISPy7qqREb0mqKFjBPkhpniH9EiQxXeAolaJ-pafo8Ta~CdtDEee7SD-l5dJL7kk191FVS6eTZMFvtLTGucQIpE5rVvZHS7FiKnAUd1-l2fqYUskLCeX8dNkdIHzMMRtuTOjorw06ue2L7NllVd85nLcT8V6dvd6M1e9ol3WTTBDZWF2WZ4cdY5zzzlDqUGOFqj5YEYew~Ey6uxfZ9JQZolnPQNcU0bqWUbRPuILHeLfpYYY4pfEnIQm7Hvny2MV4bVdsrh-m2UP3Jky5MUUEnRj50Ff4oZIH-ESzfkfNMeSEoA5Shs9oWEtypA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff told the commission that Baldwin Park was one of 13 recipients in Los Angeles County awarded funding through a recent county parks and open‑space grant round. The city’s allocation was reported as $2 million; countywide reporting put total disbursements at roughly $17.4 million.

Commissioners and staff said the award will support a pocket‑park project on a vacant parcel adjacent to a U‑Haul on Puente Avenue, a location they described as an area lacking park access. Staff said the parcel is privately owned and that any conversion to public use would depend on acquisition and zoning.

Sandra (staff) and project consultants summarized public engagement held for two larger park projects. For Hilda Solis Park, community feedback called for improved restrooms, reconfigured playgrounds to better serve families with children of different ages, two full basketball courts, pickleball courts, a fitness zone behind the skate park and additional green space and shade near the splash pad. Organizers also discussed widening bridge access to make routes ADA‑compliant.

For Morgan Park, staff reported requests for artificial soccer fields, additional pickleball courts, moving the basketball court to the front to free interior green space, a soft walking path with distance markers, expanded splash pad shade, upgraded staging space for summer events and improved lighting and cameras for security. Staff said community meetings averaged about 20 attendees per meeting, with larger turnouts at some sessions.

Staff emphasized that many parcels discussed are privately owned; one site mentioned (the former Flanner school campus) is held by a school district and residents have opposed proposed condominium development there. City staff said private ownership limits the city's options unless the owner sells the parcel or agrees to a donation.

The commission did not take formal action during the meeting; staff said design concepts will be refined with architects and that grant timelines and follow‑up engagement are expected as plans develop.","City staff said Baldwin Park received $2 million through a Los Angeles County parks grant; public engagement sessions identified priorities for Hilda Solis Park and Morgan Park, including expanded green space, restrooms, two basketball/pickleball courts, fitness zones and improved accessibility.",{"_33":95,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":96,"_41":42,"_43":97,"_45":97,"_46":98,"_48":99,"_50":100,"_52":101,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":102,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":103,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6653416,"City recreation reports youth flag football growth and returning adult basketball league",2880000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2479901-a7ee7717e1f037303f43c05475be3258&start=2880&end=2880","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2479901-a7ee7717e1f037303f43c05475be3258/thumbnail_2880000.jpg","/articles/6653416/Baldwin-Park-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/City-recreation-reports-youth-flag-football-growth-and-returning-adult-basketball-league","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6653416-a30c9ebd93a5733d3388bb57bc6be020/orig.mp4?Expires=1771180910&Signature=W-QyrC9ekLy5A1R~7ApwYdf8pWZJ01MFg-UR8VMLwcZUOTh0F0PiW8945so0jjZk4I0aiVo9H1Xoo2uY9A7iYB1Got8x-yZiulcCLQXB~uZlzcwJhsPWDkoQHa1jusgNh7pRkn1d6s6YPZPTeBN7ZUabpXfKYgzEhCaUTArKQ2aEp5MOB9jzSdgQ72jsHPwopb93kJcO1WpqxUGEVdk~YQN7678frf0yWtmRO5Y9y6AAtfJP4~QXkB10WFW~FXgblUbv5T5ZHKWHoMh7zVq~TxovDDK3SWdRnwZqhpgpzOHgsjsNWn6bo~so3KBlq4WM~glxYmqMKL7u8kY9GQlAOA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Staff member Jimmy Wong gave the commission an update on youth and adult sports programs, reporting active practices and rising participation.

Wong said youth flag‑football and youth basketball practices run Tuesday through Friday from about 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at four school sites — Gettys, Foster, Tracy and Birch — with six teams in the program. He gave a site breakdown: about 26 participants at Gettys, 16 at Foster, 10 at Tracy and 10 at Birch, and said the programs combine third‑ through sixth‑grade players.

“Once we have all the uniforms that are coming in within this week,” Wong said, “we are going to have games as soon as next week,” and said league play is tentatively scheduled for Thursday evenings with three games each night between about 6 p.m. and 9 p.m.; rain will postpone those games.

Wong also reviewed the adult basketball league, which returned after a long hiatus and currently has six teams with rosters ranging about nine to ten players each. He said the league was in its sixth week of play and that games are typically 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., three games per evening. The top four teams will advance to playoffs and finals were tentatively scheduled for April 7.

Wong said registration is handled at the community center front counter; teams pay registration and any forfeit fees, may roster up to 10 players and players must be 18 or older. When the season begins teams fill out waivers and provide shirt sizes. Staff said they plan a perpetual championship trophy, and are exploring a summer season if interest continues.

Commissioners and staff credited prior staff and volunteers for helping restart adult basketball and the youth programs. No formal policy changes or budget actions were reported at the meeting.","Recreation staff reported youth flag-football practices at four school sites with six teams, and an adult basketball league of six teams in midseason; commissioners discussed playoff schedule, registration and facilities.",{"_33":105,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":106,"_41":107,"_43":108,"_45":109,"_46":110,"_48":111,"_50":112,"_52":113,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":114,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":115,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6653418,"Baldwin Park celebrates Black History Month with vendor fair, art show and spoken-word program",150,1730000,1880000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2479901-a7ee7717e1f037303f43c05475be3258&start=1730&end=1880","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2479901-a7ee7717e1f037303f43c05475be3258/thumbnail_1730000.jpg","/articles/6653418/Baldwin-Park-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Baldwin-Park-celebrates-Black-History-Month-with-vendor-fair-art-show-and-spoken-word-program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6653418-7d7c98b1ae7cf70485dec97c558c4410/orig.mp4?Expires=1771180910&Signature=Yv53dEUlyPfVc4aQu1pAz1xqSaBcQ-NaQ32c0EzjoiSakkcUz0wCSf9CvswWEsK46vyfOoZXWqAcIrWMWRuv~lE9UbW9VEMMe0BT1B5qEP8CQW6hHnQVA6uHrWn07Te3jzFZ604o3YSwFYTab9dqC~K6CrjL5GrBSsXocTvGv~dupjZvB3ZHxvqcVKPO0rEpKygzzpjIe1fFTb4a1iAvfEpf3OAgbPwdWz-IAIDJHEw-CHEyJjNZ8DB3MFt8wrSq0zBJyD8VgWUkFbude5ZikgFVSWJFNXn5woUhHHHcXG9YeVoRb8bKCd07ugICvyar4co7K59B84bIHv2wYVkWuQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","April Rojo, the program supervisor, told the Baldwin Park Parks & Recreation Commission that the city’s Black History Month celebration drew a strong community turnout on Saturday, Feb. 22 at the Arts and Recreation Center.

“We had 20 vendors participating in our vendor fair,” Rojo said. The event included an art exhibit upstairs, a vendor fair in the courtyard and a ceremony that organizers described as the focal point of the program.

Rojo said the ceremony included a rendition of the Black national anthem and spoken‑word performances intended to “unite everyone in the motivation of Black History Month.” She also noted a research team from UCLA attended and that volunteer and vendor turnout made the event “well attended.”

Organizers provided free food after the program and arranged for flu shots and merchandise at the vendor area. Rojo said the art shown in the exhibit was for sale and that the vendor fair featured home‑decor and motivational art among other items.

Laura Franklin and two city council members — identified in the program as Council Member Lozano and Council Member Ayala — were listed among presenters and volunteers. Rojo identified one participant as mistress of ceremonies and credited local commissioners and council members with helping assemble the program.

Rojo concluded by encouraging additional community participation at future events and answered commissioners’ questions about turnout and activities.

Organizers said the one‑day event ran from 11 a.m. to about 2 p.m. and combined cultural programming, a vendor fair and a community ceremony. No formal actions or funding decisions were made during the commission meeting about the event.","The city’s Black History Month celebration on Feb. 22 drew vendors, an art exhibit, a spoken‑word program and outside research partners; organizers said about 20 vendors attended and the program included performances and a ceremony.","actionData","errors"]
