Albert Trin, accounting manager filling in for finance staff, said the sales-tax portion of the increase was $519,000 and interest income added about $30,000. He reported recent expenditures, including roughly $326,000 for outfitting 11 police vehicles and a lease payment of about $311,000 for a two-way radio system. Staff also reported purchases including a senior bingo system and that four community empowerment grants have been issued to local organizations including Inter America Red Devils ($4,310) and Baldwin Park Youth Athletic Road Runners ($4,450); a third grantee, Baldwin Park East Bridal Little League, was not present at the meeting.

Committee members asked about remaining invoice liabilities for the radio system and staff said a few invoices remained; staff will provide an update at the next meeting. The police chief said most vehicles are now in the city fleet, including Dodge Durangos and a Mach‑E, and that outfitting is nearly complete despite supply delays.

Separately, a committee member raised that youth-program funding provided through ARPA has been exhausted for the year and asked staff to prepare a report showing which programs were funded, current balances, and options for future funding. Staff confirmed the ARPA-funded youth-program account is depleted and agreed to bring a report showing recipients, amounts and any possible requests for new funding.

No formal committee action was taken on the financial update; the report will be returned with additional detail and outstanding invoicing noted.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2025-05-13 Stakeholders Oversight Committee","oneSentenceSummary","Accounting staff reported $15 million in Measure BP receipts and a projected fund balance of $11 million; committee heard expenditures on vehicles, radios, grants to local sports groups and that ARPA-funded youth-program dollars have been exhausted for the year.","taxTitle","Baldwin Park City, Los Angeles County, California","taxId",4695,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6561328,"Olive Middle School emerges as lead site in Baldwin Park sports-complex talks",789,2821000,3610000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3291485-95d3cfdea8e443ec8736c133fb271243&start=2821&end=3610","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3291485-95d3cfdea8e443ec8736c133fb271243/thumbnail_2821000.jpg","/articles/6561328/Baldwin-Park-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Olive-Middle-School-emerges-as-lead-site-in-Baldwin-Park-sports-complex-talks","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6561328-a89f3e45f6c9d20534fffe9b43eb8274/orig.mp4?Expires=1771215003&Signature=O-ItCm1zpuNFNOqjDvsJBhgCVfFZWGkiXwwTy9yFgeW5W3mBhHwb1UqLLWHjn3rp5~rzIPRSnVA2R6smzFLEwcPpjT3M-cn1eCOpBnhYyzUdnlSIk3ZjzLAfghaDKOvhyYSPsMTnMtp8UmO8Z6lKO~vHCGbmSJBgnvYLf6zUb~I7-HRv5XU6dMVNtL~m~iatMvxNDgzOyXLf0ow4fJs10Yk2m8XXlrCsfSfcFlnyomWXfWT52LcNmqoa1DEz~6t6uYnTQ9A5SBG-NOJdvo7w2p6kDVq5aBI6Q2PcnpG5cBGT49zEFGNCVgesocRv4ERiSQmydinUWU6dumg6-zMkbg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Baldwin Park city staff and school-district officials identified Olive Middle School as a likely starting site for a proposed sports complex after a site visit and stakeholder meeting May 13.

City staff convened leaders from Little League, softball, soccer and other local sports groups and toured Olive Middle School’s facilities with school superintendent Freeland Mendoza and assistant superintendent Mark Shaldu. Staff described a “brand-new” soccer field installed about two years ago and older little-league baseball fields, and said the school site contains additional open grass areas that could accommodate further development.

Enrique (staff member) said the group felt a renewed sense of momentum after the site visit, calling the Olive location the place “we all have been talking about” as a practical starting point for a larger sports-complex vision. Stakeholders told the city they would prefer an additional field site in the city in the longer term (candidates mentioned included Elwin and Pleasant View) but were generally supportive of pursuing Olive as the initial, feasible location.

The next formal milestone is a meeting of the collaborative—composed of two city council members and two school-board members—scheduled for Tuesday, May 20, 2025. If the collaborative directs staff to proceed, the city and school district could begin negotiating a joint-use agreement that staff said may take months to complete.

City and committee leaders emphasized the need for transparency and community engagement during design work. Annie (staff member) said public engagement meetings will be needed so the facility is “designed by the community for the community.” Staff noted the new public works director, Daniel Padilla, will provide technical support on parking, street widths and related infrastructure questions going forward.

No formal committee vote was recorded on this status update; members and staff described next steps and a timeline for collaborative discussions and further community outreach.","City staff and school-district leaders toured Olive Middle School and met with local sports organizations; the collaborative (city and district representatives) will meet May 20 to seek direction toward a joint-use agreement for a sports complex.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6561334,"Baldwin Park committee approves Measure BP funding for two community service officers",1628,1187000,2815000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3291485-95d3cfdea8e443ec8736c133fb271243&start=1187&end=2815","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3291485-95d3cfdea8e443ec8736c133fb271243/thumbnail_1187000.jpg","/articles/6561334/Baldwin-Park-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Baldwin-Park-committee-approves-Measure-BP-funding-for-two-community-service-officers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6561334-437431466decfb4a991c28847f431133/orig.mp4?Expires=1771215003&Signature=gOftcekfITHliceCc~6zePxMx-kT51hhQ4GNRHKhWL1Xyw1Qy68JgX2MpscUC64XJUcCGq2pN5ZiOfSkc8zQPViyVhrWhHG0MDBym2eHzdDvtdf1vQO2tE3w90pHm036mK~1ow2AD6zsbu5nAOK7P91W6j7-JW1m9L~1LHvB4is14vho2BSdI5rr3CbFSrotOGDKtF6LXsslY6QUq7MvSuDXuCxqsTyISkKQBUUkq2Mj8dKztZPkLHL3rHEMFnFFcZ9oVSJTAx35v9RqaWsv78hhe70FbsYJpFup7cXABqo256sT-TAu0qjPdwW113H3ACpgEz5pLkEdjE9asIKnqQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Baldwin Park Stakeholders Oversight Committee voted unanimously May 13 to allocate Measure BP funds to create two Community Service Officer (CSO) positions and to purchase associated vehicles, adopting a revised total of $607,372.

The committee approved the funding after staff told members a one-time purchase of vehicles—rather than leasing—was financially preferable under current market conditions and that corrected benefit estimates increased the total cost. The committee’s action covers the CSO positions, initial equipment and vehicle costs, and a 10% contingency included in the revised staff report.

Committee staff said buying vehicles made more sense given anticipated long service lives. Enrique (staff member) told the committee the purchase “saves the city money” because vehicles are typically retained and well maintained by departments. The revised total—$607,372—reflects corrected per-position benefits and a contingency added after a second revision was posted the morning of the meeting.

Police department leadership described the CSO job scope and training. The Police Chief said CSOs will be assigned to parks and other field duties, will handle nonemergency reports and location checks, and “they will have arrest powers as well,” noting CSOs will receive academy training on arrests and use-of-force so they can book individuals directly when appropriate.

Members asked for and received operational clarifications: staff said CSOs would likely work staggered shifts (roughly mid-morning into evening) to increase park coverage and handle nonemergency workload, freeing sworn officers for other duties. Staff also committed to establishing a baseline of calls for service at park locations and reporting comparisons once the CSOs are deployed.

Public speakers during the meeting urged the committee to prioritize park improvements and other community needs alongside public-safety spending. One resident, who identified longstanding concerns about Walnut Creek Park, asked the committee to “enhance the city” with awnings and park repairs rather than focusing only on public-safety equipment. Another commenter, Greg Tuttle, said he found the CSO proposal “totally absurd,” raising questions about cost, hours and whether private security could be used instead.

The committee made the motion and voted by roll call. Member Hernandez, Member Martha Carcamo, Member Orozco, Member Rodriguez, Member Nguyen, Vice Chair Jackson and Chair Lara all voted yes; the motion passed. The committee did not record a named mover or seconder on the audio transcript.

Staff directions: the committee approved the funding package as described in the revised staff report and directed staff to return with (a) corrected unit costs in the record, (b) a baseline report of park-related calls for service to allow later comparison, and (c) at least annual status reports on CSO operations and fiscal impacts.","The Baldwin Park Stakeholders Oversight Committee approved Measure BP funding of $607,372 to create two Community Service Officer (CSO) positions, including vehicle purchases and benefits; staff will provide yearly status reports and baseline calls-for-service data.","actionData","errors"]
