Staff reported $811,698 in Measure BP sales‑tax receipts for February and said the Measure had generated roughly $230,000 in interest earnings in the year ended Dec. 31, 2024. Staff explained the city places Measure BP funds in a mix of short‑term certificates of deposit, money‑market and other low‑risk instruments to earn interest while keeping funds available for scheduled project payments.

“As of February, we received another $811,698,” Rose (finance staff) said, adding that the office staggers maturities so some funds remain liquid for imminent payables. Staff told the committee that Measure BP had committed about $3,988,000 to 10 programs to date.

Committee members asked whether funds were liquid and whether there were penalties for early withdrawals; staff said accounts were structured with a mix of liquid and short‑term instruments to avoid forced early‑redemption penalties whenever possible.

Members also asked about an overrun on the sports complex architectural fee. Staff explained the council approved an additional $6,000 after final pricing, increasing the originally requested $80,000 to a total of $86,000; staff said the final contract was executed at the council level because of timing between committee and council actions.

Committee members had no objection to the update and were reminded the committee will receive routine monthly financial updates on Measure BP.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","03-11-25 Stakeholders Oversight Committee Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","City finance staff told the Baldwin Park Stakeholders Oversight Committee March 11 that Measure BP produced $811,698 in receipts for February and about $230,000 in interest income for the year ended Dec. 31, 2024, and that $3.988 million has been committed to 10 programs.","taxTitle","Baldwin Park City, Los Angeles County, California","taxId",4695,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6639017,"Baldwin Park committee presents $4,610 reimbursement to local soccer club",199,464000,663000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2558722-9563ce7c101a51e175f64dfb3122f553&start=464&end=663","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2558722-9563ce7c101a51e175f64dfb3122f553/thumbnail_464000.jpg","/articles/6639017/Baldwin-Park-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Baldwin-Park-committee-presents-4610-reimbursement-to-local-soccer-club","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6639017-fb2a9fb1e5935b1b33db53151125dc14/orig.mp4?Expires=1771194541&Signature=iJzVwmMARhdxUpnXg81JBV9Ukx19SCZrxEhRrNwUYIQPud2M78gELLRI2gDvMLhuXAwVwreVmEvPxV6YCeY1ltwYzinP5~hNW0av6Rxn-oYLgaruZPbTfcDLu43h6XLk47E~Cs6B-DLGvzubhB9buHWDy7Q6FYjOpl1lGCVL1atgPfQGeRs7F7C~4rPxvITedqt6HF-ClqTrA83SzNsmR-cGlSi3PjdPdTqBXjKVZ6yuY4S91LeLd6soIc~S1WBIEQc3dZo7A~97n-0a1Q8Rv1LIaOPtB9qv1kww3S8Icc3o~44MjwCK7l2xu2Gi1W7Z01ZB8CKryRYMxsn4JdQlAg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the March 11 meeting the Baldwin Park Stakeholders Oversight Committee formally presented a reimbursement check to the Baldwin Park City Soccer Club for $4,610 under the Community Empowerment Grant.

City staff said the awardee had completed purchases, submitted receipts and was receiving full reimbursement rather than an advance. Staff introduced Luis, identified as the soccer‑club representative, and asked the club and participating families to join for a presentation of the actual check.

Luis thanked city officials and volunteers during brief remarks, singling out Mayor Estrada and Shirley Quinones for help in securing the grant funds and noting the benefit to children: “Helping out the kids. Our goal is to put [the club] on the map, and we’re doing that. We have won four championships and [we’re] going for more,” he said.

No formal committee vote was required for the presentation. Staff and committee members indicated the city will post photos and social‑media coverage of the award to highlight community investment in youth sports.","The committee presented a full reimbursement check of $4,610 to the Baldwin Park City Soccer Club under the Community Empowerment Grant after organizers submitted validated receipts.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6639022,"Baldwin Park oversight committee hears positive update on city gift‑card program",408,898000,1306000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2558722-9563ce7c101a51e175f64dfb3122f553&start=898&end=1306","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2558722-9563ce7c101a51e175f64dfb3122f553/thumbnail_898000.jpg","/articles/6639022/Baldwin-Park-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Baldwin-Park-oversight-committee-hears-positive-update-on-city-giftcard-program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6639022-7dda5f846c41c0bf2dfc930a007b2f66/orig.mp4?Expires=1771194541&Signature=kspZI6BZVCntrTiFBsjQZ6JHFYcfo2sLcbXo9xPVN0Q0mfA98uhSfBg8xr9XZhVVqGZJxi-0D8S7eU8~x20NyqqgGO0zKHp6UfC0tfXQ88tGVkrdo-3PCKZfVMSivuR55FkheDjSinYJQsrb3UGyhpnhgXzXAjSixeFVhcqfBEM6n3mpcULdkjebZX8VWQ1Hl38p5Cv0ZfC2lqYUN-EhGFQMHaE~S8dPiQ4~IjWKUO-~W5z5NeORSq2HVRWi~ZqMCa852WnTigmAoJERP67FGLXZdcQOTfoM1SdfTDATz8O6heUQdDLs~vBEoeWQKsZOH~e8YDHo3S~7Dl6Vw8iyzA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Baldwin Park Stakeholders Oversight Committee received an update March 11 on the city’s gift‑card program, a locally focused “buy‑one‑get‑one” initiative relaunched in November 2024 that aims to boost small business revenue. Consultants and city staff told the committee the program has generated material local spending since the relaunch.

The committee was told the program currently includes 28 participating merchants, of which 22 are restaurants or food businesses. Since January 2023 the program has issued about 2,158 cards in total; 1,815 new cards were purchased since the November 2024 relaunch and about 908 BOGO (buy‑one‑get‑one) cards were part of that activity. Presenters said more than 4,300 gift cards worth roughly $374,000 have been issued overall and about 92% of cards have been redeemed. The relaunch phase generated $143,740 in revenue for local merchants; the program balance stood at $12,530 and city staff said a $15,000 contingency is available to add once the balance is exhausted.

“The program is designed for small local businesses,” said Ken, the consultant who presented the slides, noting the program excludes large national chains. He added that participating businesses that actively market the cards to regular customers tended to show the highest redemption totals.

Committee members asked detailed questions about the accounting of cards. Member Nguyen pressed for clarification on the numbers and the presenter confirmed that the 1,815 figure represented new cards sold since the relaunch and that the 2,158 figure is the program total since the program began in early 2023. Staff said the vendor, Yifty, is beta‑testing a tap‑to‑pay function that could simplify redemption at registers and that staff expects that integration within about a month.

City staff also credited social‑media outreach for attracting both residents and nonresident visitors to participating businesses. The consultant said the vendor’s dashboard allows merchants and staff to track card balances online, and staff described the clerks’ initial learning curve entering 12‑digit card numbers at busy registers before the tap option is available.

The committee did not take formal action during the update; staff said they would continue outreach and monitoring and return with metrics as the program proceeds.","City staff and a consultant updated the Baldwin Park Stakeholders Oversight Committee on the local gift‑card program relaunch, reporting strong redemption rates, $143,740 in revenue from the recent phase and a remaining program balance of $12,530 with a $15,000 contingency available.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6639007,"Oversight committee excuses absent member on bereavement and approves Feb. 11 minutes",65,149000,214000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2558722-9563ce7c101a51e175f64dfb3122f553&start=149&end=214","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2558722-9563ce7c101a51e175f64dfb3122f553/thumbnail_149000.jpg","/articles/6639007/Baldwin-Park-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Oversight-committee-excuses-absent-member-on-bereavement-and-approves-Feb-11-minutes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6639007-2f7c23c15a00d2b417adfcafec98ab70/orig.mp4?Expires=1771194541&Signature=lDyIa9NtoLmdu5RmlPW4brqO-W5H~9Li5H99KlykOYzmMKHFeb~jUkxeFJ8fm2E4goWSKVuwabHblkdCLhFMlmcO9WmFRqCjai4n8LREce9xgPqJDLi1LSYGI11S1ME71gU1GNL~-dQnE0cnukiUa5LQhVSs7Lh0V~f20V162s1WE2PObge7IKP~ZhST2QzwVTZZPL8eoBeYN39HOwNZWiXU3NRI24BqKJ0gIjbRfT1O1D8X28P0D~F2xkM0XS0lUbw~croWqzqSMRhnbp2IeL4ok6pp7xvlxiOJBUWuYHYTbrQnhS8Bkyd6bYd0sxd8RtFQ2V4XRUg1p9vfq37zEg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Baldwin Park Stakeholders Oversight Committee took two formal votes during its March 11 meeting.
