Medina Diaz singled out City Manager Saldivar, district trustees and Councilmember Estrada for collaboration and said the district presented the award at its board of trustees meeting on March 14.

Resident John Rios said portions of Barnes Park looked neglected, reported a broken fence and concerns about homeless encampments and tree removal, and asked when the city would finish the purchased lot and park improvements. Greg Tuttle, a local business owner, complimented some police enforcement but said code enforcement was not consistently enforcing rules for a catering truck that he said parks near restaurants and disadvantages brick-and-mortar businesses.

Public Works’ acting director Romani responded that the Barnes Park project is on schedule overall but that weather-related delays had pushed some work back by roughly 10–12 days. He said the contractor has an inspector on site and that much of the work occurs underground (utilities and storm drains) and therefore may not appear visible to residents. Romani reiterated the project timeline discussed at prior meetings, saying the target completion is toward the end of November (reference to the previously discussed schedule). He also said contractors sometimes must reschedule subcontractors (for example, concrete crews) when weather or sequencing interferes.

Councilmembers said staff should follow up with public-works and code-enforcement teams. Councilmembers asked staff to report back to a council meeting if contractors notify the city of longer delays so residents are informed. Separately, council asked staff to bring back an item to review the vending ordinance: the current rule requires a permitted truck to move every 10 minutes, which council members and staff agreed may be impractical and could be amended to balance brick-and-mortar businesses and permitted mobile vendors.

No formal action was taken at the meeting on Barnes Park beyond staff comments and a direction to follow up; the council requested updates be presented at a future meeting if the contractor reports additional schedule impacts.","Public commenters raised concerns about slow progress and site conditions at Barnes Park and about enforcement against a permitted catering/taco truck; staff said construction is on schedule with weather-related pauses and the council asked staff to return with ordinance changes for truck vending rules.",{"_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},6629298,"Housing authority adopts five‑year plan; McNeil Manor repairs under way with temporary relocations",360,5909000,6269000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2705349-cf56c03daf1aaab6245f990a5be163c7&start=5909&end=6269","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2705349-cf56c03daf1aaab6245f990a5be163c7/thumbnail_5909000.jpg","/articles/6629298/Baldwin-Park-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Housing-authority-adopts-fiveyear-plan-McNeil-Manor-repairs-under-way-with-temporary-relocations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6629298-eb176e11547e3dbf35b2a757849161aa/orig.mp4?Expires=1771199839&Signature=c8YlhRPD8opqxE~1Wl3OW-h7YGtSrFj6eDatFCgCKWMIZrqewTkiFh7lOWFbqj3GiObu6uWmu7nyk4wq5CfgKPDHjyfZWWykbs2-5tTp-zCg2kFfmdsNI2~jYeLCp3Q-UltdgP79RJU~EMnOCjPNLOAeRunn3lXLMnBRI29UIpFutOZn46xwxPhuwsSlnq9pcF4SQoXIJCqBeO1bhQFLS0mtLupdFpDwN1O4gDoVUHRQT0Q9lcRDbrAkk9PbsNPLIxgHBRq0AqAo7p6IFwWEdjYzr1LsoFhMbP6uoYY0k8ANxcdXf2XYHusB1LVRoOzdJfgl8Maw6X0XHuxkm805zQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Baldwin Park Housing Authority, at a meeting convened with the city council on March 19, adopted the agency’s five-year Public Housing Agency (PHA) plan for 2025–2029 and the 2025 annual PHA plan; the council recorded a unanimous vote and adopted Resolution HA‑2025‑001.

Housing staff reported the plans were posted to the public on Jan. 27, 2025, and that the resident advisory board met Dec. 10, 2024, to provide input. The plan lists agency goals including maintaining affordable housing, providing customer service, and continuing modernization of public-housing units.

Michelle (Housing Authority staff) described remediation and modernization work at McNeil Manor. Staff said moisture damage in a subset of units prompted replacement of cabinets and flooring. She said 10 of 12 affected units either already have or will receive updated cabinets or flooring, and that 11 tenants were temporarily relocated while one tenant chose a relocation of their own choosing.

Michelle told council members the work is progressing and that flooring installation is expected quickly after materials arrive; staff said they hoped to have materials on site within days and to complete installations within roughly two weeks from the time of the briefing, though weather and logistics had caused prior delays. Housing staff also said the work was initially handled with insurance reimbursement and that recent HUD grant approval means the agency is transitioning to charge costs to that grant going forward.

During the public hearing portion, council members asked about the timing and tenant communications; staff said tenants have been notified, were given options, and staff and finance are attempting to expedite reimbursements for tenant expenses related to temporary relocation.

The council adopted the PHA plans during the meeting and directed staff to submit the approved PHA plan to HUD by the stated deadline.","The Baldwin Park Housing Authority adopted its required five-year PHA plan and 2025 annual plan and discussed remediation at McNeil Manor, where most affected units are being renovated and tenants temporarily relocated.",{"_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},6629303,"Public works outlines council chamber remodel options; staff aims to rebid after design revisions",1009,827000,1836000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2705349-cf56c03daf1aaab6245f990a5be163c7&start=827&end=1836","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2705349-cf56c03daf1aaab6245f990a5be163c7/thumbnail_827000.jpg","/articles/6629303/Baldwin-Park-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Public-works-outlines-council-chamber-remodel-options-staff-aims-to-rebid-after-design-revisions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6629303-489c2488d872eae98b864af99233fcbe/orig.mp4?Expires=1771199839&Signature=I9LYsDtnvtFoTm~7hpkm45km94lRSgobjEIYnw1Z-mWrtMZcJK53FJ5EOzeskfTdp685fGPhId-vS7r8Lw9bFlVJl9M3eDb6idm51TjvCU7hp7~viRlhCfCSXrvxknHf2-rp-ItYZwccUzNAxo-qH~WJjXu8oWFNMaLNy1xQEYlwXDZpYT~-0JIl9IQzfGtB6VxrWJuhNnTnNPIKbT5zqBL7aByGOU467abldT4LcRqvH0iA6I4nCy2OjXCPOwyZwvSOcKqIyvrugW7TpyrfgVemGVEWdDQI6n8aujBSjvyxOBfFbXn3CcaIF3OKs6URIRbWoDL9WUzaMrhU2~ZMQg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Romani, acting director of public works, presented a proposed renovation of the Baldwin Park council chamber during the March 19 city council meeting, outlining design changes, cost-saving options and a proposed schedule to return to council with alternatives before reissuing construction bids.

Romani said the existing council chamber dates to conversions and remodels from 1958 and 1972 and has not had a comprehensive update in more than 50 years. The project was added to the city’s capital improvement program and funded with ARPA money. The initial bid package drew many contractor questions (more than 90), and the city rejected an earlier award because of high cost; staff and the consultant La Cañada Group were asked to address bidder concerns and complete final plans.

Planned changes include raising or regrading the floor to meet ADA requirements; replacing fixed bench seating with individually-removable chairs; new ceiling/lighting; new audio and hearing-assist systems; upgraded cameras and televisions for public viewing; replacement of restrooms to ADA standards; separation or reconfiguration of HVAC to avoid replacing a single, large system; and mechanical-room layout changes to reduce demolition and save costs. Romani said the consultant submitted 90% design documents and expects 100% by April 11.

Staff described a four-step strategy: (1) finalize plans to address the 90+ bidder questions; (2) hold a workshop with departments and council members to review cost-saving options and sample finishes; (3) coordinate plan review with building, police, finance, parks and IT so departments know what they will inherit for operations and maintenance; and (4) present multiple budget/options to council before rebidding. Romani said staff aim to open the project to bid in October if revisions proceed on schedule, though he said it might return to council as early as August or September depending on the level of redesign.

Council members asked for multiple options showing relative costs (for example, non–touch-screen displays vs. touch-screen panels) and emphasized good lighting, durability and maintenance. The mayor and council asked staff to coordinate early with departments to reduce change orders during construction and to present trade-off options so council members can select a preferred scope before bidding.

Romani said earlier design estimates (including contingencies) had been about $5,000,000; the current focus is identifying modifications to reduce cost. He also said the parks and recreation department would ultimately maintain the space and that maintenance implications factored into design choices.

Next steps: staff to receive 100% plans in April, complete department workshops and return with multiple options and cost estimates for council consideration before issuing a new bid package.","Public Works presented options for a remodel of Baldwin Park’s council chamber, citing ADA compliance, HVAC and audiovisual upgrades and a plan to address bidder questions before rebidding later this year.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6629308,"Council approves midyear budget, housing allocations and routine consent items in 5-0 votes",2942,2834000,5776000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2705349-cf56c03daf1aaab6245f990a5be163c7&start=2834&end=5776","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2705349-cf56c03daf1aaab6245f990a5be163c7/thumbnail_2834000.jpg","/articles/6629308/Baldwin-Park-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Council-approves-midyear-budget-housing-allocations-and-routine-consent-items-in-5-0-votes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6629308-905b57a7dfd2acf5785412cec51a5d58/orig.mp4?Expires=1771199839&Signature=cyf5PH2koTGwYUc5ElCxIJDvx80qL1lDW5Uo5ZKGXctEFl7LsT7AbMfhImd4q0FXiZDoi0Kht8Kh6k7ViCmXTxjfLI1U1J3CP9Kk4VXprfl3WFy7tDLtyT25Q6mTxRhpf4LJOPi8ml-o-66A4aeyg6gzrG8KP2YeSsGpduQ3L3mIXTFdVb-MZCPd5d~36Opt--59z9Wk5WOBx7OaTdqNFZqG~ldrssabvbFd4dnzqSXkU0N4Fzt0HFafPq0uYyY27xZqv9ySWp9xsUqDcX8ShoM4W29owxLsIkBwXnOdQzXd5isyDwcqCGkz8n57uI32zvAMxx1Me~uU5nzySrJaSg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Baldwin Park City Council on Wednesday approved a series of routine and substantive items, including a fiscal-year 2024-25 midyear budget projection and a memorandum of understanding to allocate state PLHA funds to the Regional Housing Trust.

The council voted 5-0 to approve the consent calendar (items 1–8 except item 6, which had been pulled for discussion) and later approved item 6 (a PLHA reallocation and a memorandum of understanding) by the same margin. Council also adopted the midyear budget review and related successor-agency, finance-authority and housing-authority consent items by unanimous votes.

Key actions at a glance:
- Consent calendar (items 1–8, except 6): Approved 5–0. Motion to approve was moved and seconded at the meeting; the council recorded a 5–0 roll call.
- Item 6 (PLHA reallocation and MOU with the Regional Housing Trust): Approved 5–0. The council authorized a memorandum of understanding allocating $250,805.55 for calendar years 2020–2021 into the Regional Housing Trust “pot” to support affordable housing development.
- Fiscal-year 2024–25 midyear budget review and projection: Approved 5–0. The city’s finance director presented a midyear projection showing increased revenues offset by higher expenditures, and a projected $3.26 million deficit that would be largely mitigated using a prior-year surplus and ongoing savings.
- Successor agency, finance authority and housing authority consent items and treasury reports: Approved 5–0.
- Housing Authority: The council, acting in its housing authority role, held a public hearing and adopted the Public Housing Agency (PHA) 2025–2029 five-year plan and the 2025 annual PHA plan along with Resolution HA‑2025‑001 by unanimous vote.

The council’s roll-call votes were recorded as unanimous on each formal motion. Several items had brief staff presentations preceding the votes; the most detailed presentation was the midyear budget review by the city’s finance director, which included revenue and expenditure projections and specific departmental impacts.

Procedural notes: Several roll-call motions were made from the dais without extended debate. The midyear budget presentation included specific figures for projected increases and decreases in revenue categories, an allocation to internal insurance funds to cover rising legal costs, and an explanation that the administration is undertaking a citywide fee study to help address longer-term budget pressures.

The council did not amend any of the primary measures before voting. Where the meeting record did not identify the mover or seconder by name for a motion, the votes were reported as unanimous in roll call.","At its March 19 meeting, the Baldwin Park City Council approved a midyear budget projection showing a projected fiscal-year deficit offset by prior-year surplus, authorized a memorandum of understanding for PLHA funds to the Regional Housing Trust, and adopted several routine agency items; all recorded votes were 5-0.","actionData","errors"]
