Baldwin Park proclaims June 18 as Enrique Z. Saldivar Day as city manager retires
Summary
The City Council held a farewell ceremony June 18 for Enrique Z. Saldivar, chief executive officer/city manager, honoring his four years with Baldwin Park and presenting proclamations and awards from elected officials and partner organizations.
The Baldwin Park City Council presented a proclamation and multiple recognitions June 18 honoring Enrique Z. Saldivar as he retires as the city's chief executive officer.
Mayor Alejandra Avila read a proclamation that recounts Saldivar's background, noting his appointment by the council on June 7, 2021. Council members, elected officials' representatives and community partners delivered remarks and presented certificates and framed proclamations from federal and state offices.
Representatives in the chamber read a floor statement delivered by U.S. Congressman Pete Aguilar's office, and offices of U.S. Representative Cisneros, Senator Susan Rubio and Assemblywoman Blanca Rubio provided written resolutions and gifts including a flag flown over the state capitol. The Los Angeles County Supervisor's office presented remarks and a certificate. The Baldwin Park Unified School District, the Baldwin Park Business Association, Waste Management, and other local organizations also presented certificates acknowledging Saldivar's service.
Council members highlighted achievements during Saldivar's tenure: decommissioning the BeProud Community Choice Aggregation in early 2022 without fiscal impacts; passage of Measure BP (sales tax measure) in November 2022 that the council cited as bringing in "over $6,000,000 in annual revenue;" negotiating historic memoranda of understanding with employee organizations; and establishing youth employment and community programming. Saldivar, who previously served as general manager at Los Angeles Sanitation and Environment, told the council he was grateful and described Baldwin Park as "home away from home."
No formal action beyond the ceremonial proclamations was recorded. Council members and dozens of community members, partner agency representatives and staff attended the reception that followed.
