DEVELOPMENT
ACTION
PLAN
[RESOLUTION NO. 25-49]
On February 18, 2025, the City Councill awarded a Professional Services
Agreement to HdL ECONSolutions to prepare a Three-Year Economic
Development Action Plan (EDAP). This EDAP will serve as a roadmap to guide
the City over the next three years, helping to strengthen its economy, support
local businesses, and cultivate a thriving, connected community. The primary
goal of EDAP is to enhance the City’s economic vitality by fostering an
environment that supports existing businesses, attracts new investments,
promotes job creation, grows the City’s tax base, and strengthens community
assets. Funding for this project has been incorporated into the City’s Economic
Development Division General Contractual Services account (121-810-26-22-
000) budget, and no additional appropriations are required at this time. By
investing in this comprehensive three-year action plan, the City seeks to foster
a prosperous business climate that will enhance long-term fiscal stability.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: This project is
exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), pursuant to Section 15061(B)(3) and 15262 of the CRQA Guidelines. This
includes a section known as the general rule and exempts projects where it can
be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in questions
may have a significant effect on the environment.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-49 approving
the Three-Year Economic Development Action Plan. |

B. FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
(CDBG) PROGRAMS BUDGET AND ALLOCATION (RESOLUTION NO. 25-72)
Each Fiscal Year (FY), the City of San Gabriel receives an allocation from the Los
Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) for the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. For the Fiscal Year 2026-2027, the
City should expect to receive $271,086 (a 10% decrease from the current year’s
allocation) to be used toward developing viable communities and serving low-
and moderate-income populations. The Fiscal Year 2026-2027 CDBG Program
and Budget Plan proposes to allocate the funding to the following programs:
Code Enforcement, the Pedestrian Ramp Improvement Program, and a Graffiti
Control Program. There is no fiscal impact for the current year, 2025-2026. The
CDBG funding allocation estimate of $271,086 outlined in this report is for the
2026-2027 Fiscal Year and represents a 10% decrease (approximately $26,495)
from the current year allocation.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: Not a Project as
defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines, as grant acceptance in
and of itself, does not have a potential for any adverse impacts to the
environment. Prior to construction, separate environmental review of individual
construction projects may be required.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 25-72 authorizing the allocation of CDBG funds for
FY 2026-2027 from LACDA for activities and projects described above and
in Exhibit A of the Resolution.
2. Carry over any CDBG funds unspent at the close of FY 2025-2026 and
recognize the receipt of FY 2026-2027 CDBG Program funds awarded by
LACDA to the City in the City FY 2026-2027 Budget.
3. Allocate, in proportioned amounts, any FY 2025-2026 CDBG funds in excess
of estimated funds to the Code Enforcement Program, Pedestrian Ramp
Improvement Program, and/or Graffiti Control Program.
4. Authorize the City Manager to execute new contracts with LACDA for the
allocation of FY 2026-2027 CDBG Program (subject to adjustment to reflect
the actual allocation of funds to San Gabriel). |

H. AMENDMENT OF SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE LEW EDWARDS
GROUP AND FM3 RESEARCH TO PROVIDE BALLOT MEASURE POLLING
AND PUBLIC OUTREACH SERVICES
On October 21, 2025, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter
into a Professional Services Agreement with The Lew Edwards Group (LEG) and
FM3 Research to provide ballot measure feasibility services, including opinion
research and strategic communications support. As LEG and City staff began
finalizing the agreement, two minor but important clarifications to the contract
language were requested by LEG. These updates are consistent with best
practices in municipal ballot measure consulting agreements and are intended
to ensure clarity regarding ownership of work product and scope of services.
There is no fiscal impact associated with the proposed contract amendments.
The not-to-exceed amount previously approved up to $171,250.00 assuming
two surveys and a November 2026 General Election remains unchanged.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: This item is not a
project as defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines, as it has no
reasonable potential for significantly impacting the environment.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Approve the amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with The
Lew Edwards Group and FM3 Research to include:
o the clarified ownership of work product language; and
o the addition of a sentence specifying that legal services are not
included within the consultant’s scope of work.
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the contract amendment. |
