A staff presenter said the fund had received roughly $12 million through the end of 2024, with $583,298 received in January 2025 and about $122,000 of interest in the 2024 quarter. The presenter said the committee has committed approximately $3,988,000 across 11 programs and projects, with about $169,600 spent to date. “With all of that, we have projected fund balance as of 01/31/2025 in the amount of $8,890,000,” the presenter said.

Committee discussion included a staff clarification of the account status: “There's a $3,987,819 that have been either spent or committed, but there is a balance of $8,890,001.67 that we still have in the fund,” a staff member said during public clarifications.

On grant awards, city staff said the City Council approved all recommended organizations except one after a legal review. Enrique, a City staff member, explained that St. John's (a faith-affiliated institution) was disqualified because the City could not find a way to comply with the California Constitution's prohibition on using public dollars for parochial-school purposes. “We could not… find a way to not be in compliance with that constitutional provision so… they were not eligible,” Enrique said. Staff said grant-award letters for the approved organizations had not yet been issued but were expected to be issued the following week.

The committee approved the Stakeholders Oversight Committee minutes from the Nov. 12 meeting on a motion by Vice Chair Pastor Jackson, seconded by Member Mata; the roll call recorded six yes votes and no noes, and the motion passed 6-0.

No other formal actions were taken at the meeting. Staff said they will return to the committee with further updates on grants and program implementation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2-11-25 Stakeholders Oversight Committee Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","City staff reported Measure BP receipts and commitments and said grant-award letters were pending; staff said St. John's was disqualified because a constitutional provision forbids public funds for a parochial school; the committee approved a prior meeting's minutes in a 6-0 vote.","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},6644697,"Baldwin Park stakeholders review sports-complex concept, discuss school-district sites and parking",3123,624000,3747000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2652522-b87193159d41a3623ff961a08831305e&start=624&end=3747","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2652522-b87193159d41a3623ff961a08831305e/thumbnail_624000.jpg","/articles/6644697/Baldwin-Park-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Baldwin-Park-stakeholders-review-sports-complex-concept-discuss-school-district-sites-and-parking","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6644697-2ff9ecfaaf0fada75168d0dc543c635c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771170646&Signature=W212284KU-HAoGg8rMVToC7OTcrAXPen3aH5L0vnhzmfr5MZV9fbF~dmTfCtYwhym49qm4dyg4xwqOZLa5hjne0tWXaUG14it4UM-MJQgVCy2nN8n8VsxJNHJKx6mk6q0fRiHdDjgQjWtBFmvvD1I8GaWZ1BfJEHgZE9onh59tsVsujs9nNIQFcrcXdTw8RhHUuq4EbXxkuNEJhJV0abeSRU1sP8v0ObFNduLDjRbRmfYayClI-~Yp~ZrcUXt8ZP~lL1vQ70T53q7hY6OkWU-5cQFuRG6wvLLl6AylMXIVwC0NP7-38VKSWCH45zKxwGkDJ1ku3FmPrvnedgXtrKbw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Baldwin Park Stakeholders Oversight Committee on Feb. 11 heard a concept report from an architectural design team on a proposed sports complex, with designers presenting three 10-acre layout options and a larger 20-acre scenario while committee members and residents raised questions about site availability, parking and whether the school district will commit land for a joint-use project.

Design lead David Volts, of Design Landscape Architects, told the committee the presentation is a milestone in a long process but not a final design. “We know we don't have a site, but we know we can also, make an effort to secure a site,” Volts said, describing the work as a step toward a formal concept report the City Council and a collaborative committee with the school district will review.

The designers, including Gary Vasquez, director of design, and Brian Avalos, studio manager, outlined three 10-acre program types: (1) a field-heavy model similar to Big League Dreams with multiple baseball diamonds and space for youth soccer; (2) a model centered on an indoor recreation facility with courts, pickleball and a gym; and (3) a mixed park approach with a community center and multiuse outdoor fields. The slides cited local park metrics: roughly 0.3 acres of park space per 1,000 residents in Baldwin Park versus a county average of about 3.3 acres, and that roughly 22% of residents live within walking distance of a park compared with a county average of 49%.

Committee members and residents pressed practical questions. Business owner Greg Tuttle told the committee, “We're spending $86,000 on this, plan for the sports complex with no land approved yet,” saying he and others want more transparency on site selection and City coordination with the school board. Committee members repeatedly asked which closed school properties the district might make available; design staff said the district is conducting its own feasibility review and that four previously closed sites have been discussed, singling out Elwin Elementary (now used as a staff development center) as an example of a decommissioned site the district is still using.

City staff described the schedule for next steps: the concept report will go to the City Council, then to a formal collaborative committee made up of two council members and two school-board members (a committee structure intended to comply with the Brown Act), followed by two public meetings — one targeted to local sports leagues and one broader community meeting. Staff said the collaborative committee is expected to meet in late March and that designers will refine plans after each public presentation.

On programming, designers and staff explained trade-offs between field sizes and uses: smaller youth soccer fields (U8, U10) allow more courts on the same footprint, while an adult or championship-size pitch (U19/high school size) requires a larger footprint. Staff cautioned that indoor recreation space substantially increases construction and long-term maintenance costs, and that parking requirements grow with tournament-level amenities.

Committee members asked staff to inventory existing park facilities and underused City properties to avoid duplicating amenities. Designers and staff also noted several opportunities to overlay field layouts (for example, overlaying multiple U8 fields on a larger U12 field) to maximize limited acreage.

Next steps: staff will bring the concept report to the City Council, convene the collaborative committee in late March and schedule public meetings for community and sports-league feedback. The designers said they will return with revised diagrams after those engagements.","Design team presented three 10-acre concept layouts and a 20-acre option; committee and residents pressed for clarity on site availability, parking and whether the City and school district will commit to joint use.","actionData","errors"]
