City Council

CITY COUNCIL / CITY CLERK / CITY TREASURER / STAFF REQUESTS & COMMUNICATION Councilmember Alejandra Avila seeks consensus of the City Council to: • Approve financial assistance for approximately $2,500 on behalf of three cultural dance groups from the Julia McNeill Senior Center. Due to financial hardship, these groups have requested sponsorship from the Julia McNeill Senior Center to offset the cost of each of their costumes, which is approximately $100.00 per student. The seniors in these groups are 60 years young and are all very dedicated, active and participate at various events free of charge representing Baldwin Park. The names of the groups are the International Line Dance and Baldwin Park Art Dance Group • Direct Staff to develop procedures to further promote cross-departmental collaboration in reporting issues or situations in the field that require a service response from the City in addressing a potentially unsafe condition, such as a malfunctioning street signal, an obstruction in the roadway, a hazard on the sidewalk, etc. Helping keep our City clean and safe is a shared responsibility between all of us, including residents. Our City employees who are in the field more regularly, are a force multiplier in identifying and reporting situations that require a service response. Councilmember Daniel Damian seeks consensus of the City Council to: • An approval to reduce the concert series & downtown street market each by one week. The series would now be 5 weeks each. In addition, start the concert series 1 week earlier to fill the vacancy after kids are out of school.
