The resident asked the city for assistance and guidance to protect her family’s property and safety.

“Two individuals came up to our property ... and they said that the city had a permit to demolish our property this Monday,” resident Sarah Wu said, and later told the council she contacted the police and planning department and was advised there was no such permit.

Mayor Avila asked the chief of police to follow up; councilmembers asked staff to create an administrative option or scripted response so residents who call during weekends or off-hours receive a clearer, more comforting immediate response and know what to expect before normal business hours.

Separately during public comment, resident John Rios said vendors had set up near private properties and city lots since the windstorm, creating safety, sanitation and enforcement concerns. “They come out like cockroaches,” Rios said, describing vendors selling food and other goods at various corners. Councilmembers thanked residents for reporting incidents and asked Police and Code Enforcement to strengthen weekend enforcement and provide phone numbers residents can use for rapid response.

Council did not take a formal vote on either matter but directed staff and police to reach out to the family who reported the demolition threat and to review weekend enforcement and public-safety response procedures for vendor complaints.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","1-15-25 Council Regular Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","A Baldwin Park resident told the council she was threatened by people alleging the city had a demolition permit; another speaker and councilmembers raised concerns about unpermitted street vendors appearing after the windstorm.

City staff summarized the law’s key limits on local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement: local agencies may not use local resources to assist federal immigration enforcement; they must not inquire into immigration status during interactions; they cannot detain people on immigration hold requests except in narrowly defined circumstances; and they cannot disclose non-public personal information such as home or work addresses except where the information is publicly available.

City Attorney Norma told the council SB 54 had been challenged in court but was, as of the meeting, being enforced and incorporated into local policy. Enrique (staff) said the resolution updates the city’s prior 2017 action to align city procedures with the state statute.

Dr. Angela Salazar, assistant superintendent for student achievement at Baldwin Park Unified School District, told the council the district had been working with the city since November to address community concerns and to reinforce protections, and she described the district’s obligations under FERPA that limit release of student information.

Council members discussed holding “know your rights” workshops and coordinating with legal-service groups to reassure residents about college aid and other federal forms. Mayor Avila and others asked staff to coordinate outreach with the school district and local community organizations. The motion to adopt the resolution passed on a 5-0 roll call.","Council adopted a resolution reaffirming the city’s compliance with SB 54 (California Values Act).

Mayor Pro Tem Damian moved the motion and Councilmember Lozano seconded. The council specified that staff verification would occur before funds are dispersed; staff said they had already done a preliminary verification round and would complete a second review prior to payment.

Council debate focused on verification methods and timing. A local Little League board member and other community speakers suggested partnering with the Baldwin Park Unified School District because the district already validates student residency for use of school fields, and that leagues commonly submit verified rosters to the district. Staff said they would request roster addresses and other proofs (for example, IDs or school records) and that the city would require back-up documentation for expenditures, including receipts for equipment, training and related costs.

The council also discussed the timing of advance payments. A community member noted leagues typically receive a deposit (often about 50%) and then submit final rosters at season end; staff and council said they would reconcile disbursements against required documentation and retain the right to withhold final payments if organizations failed to meet verification standards.

Mayor Pro Tem Damian said the objective was to maximize opportunities for local youth while ensuring public funds were spent as intended. The motion passed on a roll-call vote with all five council members voting yes.","The city approved distribution of Measure VP youth-sports grants but required staff verification that recipient organizations are valid 501(c)(3)s and that rosters include at least 70% Baldwin Park residents before funds are released.",{"_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},6638559,"Council keeps concert and street market at Morgan Park, approves budget adjustments",226,1371000,1597000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2652591-1552ce3f13875db2a4166760ad25bbd0&start=1371&end=1597","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2652591-1552ce3f13875db2a4166760ad25bbd0/thumbnail_1371000.jpg","/articles/6638559/Baldwin-Park-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Council-keeps-concert-and-street-market-at-Morgan-Park-approves-budget-adjustments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6638559-909c89dcece1eeee6cf8136bf05967f1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770445682&Signature=Yl0IoKd3PkeTsWUxCO9f1TMO~9elPdVzjO6NoFBXgm3dEQNs0v9LPftF76njI33i5jvfrcGi9sPOjVzmDPPkshNUSJKjNqbJwO2~Y2hWhauoM8ePMdFDV1~QGA~4vuRM4TWKYS5f6vbNrYRf33OJqOHYGOKxzOyG1XelrCfRguMghhrLAD~g7u-RcRktd0HrFJLEfUNtZPNtEqID9iLN4Q4Y0TBebfC2FeULh4hcZ6Gyogq24WIBZXDwqbnz8bDzFRbWsFac856cvhHqLJIBOLampNPaRa10hj2RHxDk0zLW46fTWGBTCIivSG8X77wjHpe5hUZ7c5vLrndMjZGt5g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Baldwin Park City Council voted 5-0 Wednesday to keep the city’s concert series and associated street market at Morgan Park and to approve staff recommendations as amended, with direction to seek cost savings during the city’s upcoming budget process.

Council members said the park location provided safer, more family-oriented space than holding the events on Main Street, and discussed potential savings from reduced stage, lighting and restroom costs associated with street closures.

Mayor Pro Tem Damian, who made the motion, said moving and keeping the event at Morgan Park “worked out really well last year” and urged Public Works, Police and Recreation and Community Services to identify overtime and contract reductions during the next budget cycle. Manny (city staff) confirmed the staff recommendation and described the park layout as more family friendly.

Council members discussed a $65,000 contract-services line item tied to staging and ancillary services at the street market that could be cut if the event remains at the park. Damian also urged departments to look for overtime savings and other recurring expense reductions. A specific cost item mentioned by staff—referred to during debate as \"$1.98\" per some line—was ambiguous in the record and not specified in the final action.

The motion, made by Mayor Pro Tem Damian and seconded by Mayor Avila, passed on a roll-call vote with Mayor Avila, Mayor Pro Tem Damian, Council members Ayala, Estrada and Lozano voting yes.

Council directed staff to reflect the amended approach in budget development and to return with any required contract changes for council approval.

The vote followed public and council discussion about safety, attendee experience and event costs; no amendments to the event schedule were made in the motion.","Baldwin Park City Council voted 5-0 to keep the downtown concert and street market at Morgan Park and approved staff recommendations as amended, directing city departments to seek cost savings and consider eliminating a contract-services line item.","actionData","errors"]
