Council approves consent calendar, moves several items including $150,000 CDBG award and franchise audit contract
Summary
The Whittier City Council approved its consent calendar May 27, including a $150,000 CDBG award for fencing at the Whittier Navigation Center, a HF&H Consultants contract not to exceed $125,156 for a solid waste compliance audit, RMRA road slurry funding and hearings set for Uptown Parking District budgets.
The Whittier City Council approved its joint consent calendar on May 27, 2025, noting Mayor Joseph A. Vinatieri's recusal on two Uptown Parking District items.
Among the adopted items, the Council authorized a City Manager-executed Community Development Block Grant agreement with The Salvation Army for $150,000 to fund security fencing and a gate replacement at the Whittier Navigation Center and adopted Resolution No. 2025-18 to amend the FY 2024-25 budget accordingly.
Council also approved a professional services agreement with HF&H Consultants for up to $125,156 to perform a solid waste franchise agreement compliance audit covering Athens and Republic Services, pursuant to existing franchise provisions. The Council adopted a RMRA (SB-1) funding resolution, No. 2025-21, approving the Slurry Program Phase 1 project for Fiscal Year 2025-26.
The Council approved preliminary budgets for Uptown Parking District No. 1 and Uptown Parking District No. 2 for FY 2025-26 and set public hearings on both for 6:00 p.m. on June 10, 2025, in the City Hall Council Chamber to consider confirming assessments and receive public testimony. Mayor Vinatieri recused himself from Items 12.J and 12.K because he owns a business in Uptown.
Other consent items included an Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for the Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Authority (Resolution No. 2025-20) and a memorandum of understanding with the Puente Hills Habitat Preservation Authority for fuel clearance on two city-owned parcels.
The consent motion was moved by Council Member Fernando Dutra and seconded by Council Member Cathy Warner; the motion carried unanimously with recusals noted where specified.
