Gabriel Castarena, supervisor of media for the city, said the sheriff's station supports the program and that deputies will receive a refresher course on recognizing and interacting with individuals on the autism spectrum. \"The main purpose of the autism decal is to provide emergency personnel with visual notice that there is an individual with autism either at the scene of a traffic incident, or an emergency at their place of residence,\" Castarena said.

Castarena described two decal sizes: a 4-by-4 inch die-cut sticker intended for vehicles and a 5-by-5 inch die-cut sticker intended for homes. Decals will be available free of charge at the sheriff's station upon request, the presentation said. Castarena noted the program was developed in cooperation with acting Captain Jose Hernandez and Deputy Sepulveda and said he proposed countywide expansion.

Council members praised the proposal and asked staff to bring a full report back to the council with implementation details. The meeting record shows the council agreed to the introduction and asked staff to return with a full report; no formal vote was required to introduce the program.

The city said the program is intended to improve communication and safety during emergency responses involving nonverbal or vulnerable individuals. Council members and staff emphasized that the decal is voluntary and distributed to caregivers upon request.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Meeting of the City Council 2/11/25","oneSentenceSummary","City staff and the Pico Rivera Sheriff's Station presented an autism decal program for residents with autistic family members; deputies will receive refresher training and decals will be distributed free on request.","taxTitle","Pico Rivera, Los Angeles County, California","taxId",3842,"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},6642375,"Residents press Pico Rivera to fix flooded Mines Avenue bike lane; city agrees to investigate",209,3654000,3863000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2622533-ddb46444d6c7308b901af39c2e5e2504&start=3654&end=3863","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2622533-ddb46444d6c7308b901af39c2e5e2504/thumbnail_3654000.jpg","/articles/6642375/Pico-Rivera/Los-Angeles-County/California/Residents-press-Pico-Rivera-to-fix-flooded-Mines-Avenue-bike-lane-city-agrees-to-investigate","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6642375-7aca97293febd77e7f008b93788c7f45/orig.mp4?Expires=1771180651&Signature=YEJDrW8ZbdsGvQrFaWIfIa7Kz0JV818v4idqdMnHw1MjsFr8ZhVfG7HmwP2nxcPMz4lO357OlUi~s31xYAoUis8WZWqHYszQnaTqvP-4jSjsUYHVI8U7oe-IXNEeVHZ24KPW~e5oUwfR14i0M4cyCiH3nvWDExwVJpsdzdv~2wV~eU5hzuMoolASsA4~ot~MXDvt7DUFg8LTujCQ8hQ5uE2uKiDpLp1riv-Ky8la1Q81uyUS2tIYTBafb1JhjIf9y6N0F8yRuoPXIZgpmdrmbtOIUdceEBUGMJJEJuT8S~ccD~0E-kEGWaDh3j6r0zLCfJOCfOiu6gXLXdoydUiROQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Residents from the Mines Avenue corridor urged the Pico Rivera City Council on Feb. 11 to address recurring flooding in a new bike lane that, they said, traps several inches of water even after brief rain.

Steven Diaz and other neighbors told the council the bike lane floods to about two inches deep and can take 30–40 minutes to dissipate after a light rain. Diaz said delivery drivers have told him they will not complete deliveries when the lane is flooded. “I personally don't have faith that the bioswales and asphalt are working according to plan,” Diaz told the council.

Fernando Moreno, who spoke with translation assistance, said a family member had to park several houses away to avoid deep water when picking up an older relative. Speakers said they have collected a petition from residents on the south side of Mines Avenue from Coolhurst Drive to Manzanar asking the city to resolve the flooding.

Mayor Garcia and the council asked staff to look into the matter. City Manager Carmona (referred to in the record as \"the city manager\") told the audience, “We are looking into it,” and staff later confirmed they will follow up with residents and examine possible solutions.

The speakers called for specific fixes and more proactive communication. They said the flooding has persisted since construction and voiced frustration that prior requests and emails had not received timely responses. One resident noted the problem occurs even after short, sporadic rainfall and pressed the council for a plan.

The council did not adopt a formal motion addressing Mines Avenue at this meeting; staff acknowledged the complaints and committed to investigation and follow-up with the neighborhood.

The Council asked the city manager and relevant departments to report back; no timeline for a formal staff report was announced in the oral record.","Multiple residents told the City Council that the recently constructed Mines Avenue bike lane fills with standing water after light rain, blocking deliveries and creating safety concerns; city staff said they will investigate.",{"_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},6642379,"Pico Rivera enacts moratorium on select outdoor industrial uses, advances interest in pro soccer stadium",1233,4764000,5997000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2622533-ddb46444d6c7308b901af39c2e5e2504&start=4764&end=5997","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2622533-ddb46444d6c7308b901af39c2e5e2504/thumbnail_4764000.jpg","/articles/6642379/Pico-Rivera/Los-Angeles-County/California/Pico-Rivera-enacts-moratorium-on-select-outdoor-industrial-uses-advances-interest-in-pro-soccer-stadium","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6642379-fcf0c08eb745e0cc0682e936e75a7220/orig.mp4?Expires=1771180651&Signature=GVNPQrcn-0CYkbcgS5blr5K9riv31ssoq6VkZQ-qbRd351uHs-Yvh46jr952PAUhBswKqqEtz~RE-vXf5Pcq5Uo2ov69Rfx1yAQvnnqXPHNvMaDsgfQSK0PtzeTioEd5i1NfoRlgGh3s3ySnEIcyTsRcuv46KZ7Lvy7wZYK-GG6efx73UbYiegJmMGt4GjybFmwEqg3ZAUfrSZ1NdnrmrBIcjTsgB9ehwkIyCakpUlIwuQlnF7s~q3eNvlcWBfVLV1T2O4WnkkFAKW2f-coo8kL3-MdjzsAkr2mACajQfD6dkKm7Bdpwz7oWhR0eZd5xBUEZZVqOc-AgtkdnW9ib7A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pico Rivera City Council on Feb. 11 adopted a moratorium prohibiting the establishment, expansion or modification of building-materials sales and storage, contracting equipment storage, and rental-yard uses, and separately approved a letter of interest with the United Soccer League (USL) to explore a stadium-related partnership.

The moratorium was approved 5-0 after a motion by Council Member Lutz and a second by Council Member Laura. The council later approved a letter of interest with the USL, also on a 5-0 roll call; Mayor Pro Tem Camacho moved the item and Council Member Laura seconded the motion.

The moratorium (Item 14 on the agenda) is intended to pause new or expanded outdoor building-materials and equipment-storage uses while staff evaluates potential regulatory or zoning changes. Council members did not state a sunset date during the meeting; minutes and staff reports were not specific about duration or other implementation details.

Dan Holman, chief operating officer of the United Soccer League, told the council the USL operates professional, pre-professional and youth leagues nationwide and said the league sees stadium-anchored development as a tool for community revitalization. “We are present in over 200 communities nationwide,” Holman said, adding that the league looks for multiuse, community-focused projects that can host games, concerts and other events.

Assistant City Manager Javier Hernandez introduced the USL presentation and staff said the city is positioning a broader Community Revitalization Program (PR2035) to attract private and civic investment. Mayor Pro Tem Camacho and other council members described the city’s freeway and transit connections as assets that could make Pico Rivera a regional entertainment destination.

Council members emphasized that the letter of interest is an exploratory step. Staff and the presenter said the next steps include continued outreach, feasibility analysis and follow-up reports to the council; no binding stadium contract or development agreement was approved at the meeting.
