A. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH FARM AND CRAFT MARKET,
INCORPORATED FOR A SAN GABRIEL CERTIFIED FARMERS’ MARKET AND
APPROPRIATION OF $20,000 FOR MARKETING RELAUNCH AND
OPERATIONS [RESOLUTION NO. 25-50]
On February 6, 2024, a Professional Services Agreement was awarded to
Supporting Arms to reestablish a Farmers’ Market at the Park and Ride lot on
Mission Drive. The first event took place on April 27, 2024 and continued every
Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. After a few months of operation,
Supporting Arms was unable to consistently retain the vendors and attendance
at the event decreased. On August 20, 2024, the City Council directed staff to
reevaluate the program and return with a different operational format. On
August 4, 2025, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a qualified
company to operate a Farmers’ Market. The City selected Farm and Craft
Market, Incorporated as they best met the criteria outlined in the RFP. If
approved by City Council, $20,000 will be appropriated to the NonDepartmental Special Events (Account No. 121-714-00-27-047) to cover the
equipment rental, advertising, and marketing efforts for Fiscal Year 2025-2026.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: Not a Project as
defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Review and approve the Professional Services Agreement with Farm and
Craft Market, Incorporated, and authorize the City Manager to execute
the Agreement;
2. Adopt Resolution No. 25-50 Amending the Fiscal Year 2025-2026
Operating Budget to appropriate $20,000 to the Non-Departmental
Special Events (Account No. 121-714-00-27-047) to cover the
equipment rental costs, advertising, and marketing efforts; and
3. Approve a modified business license fee structure for a Farmers’ Market. |

NO. 25-53 RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 24-16
The City has been notified that it will receive targeted state funding on behalf
of the Gabrielino Tongva Tribal Center at Siban’gna. As the recipient and
administrator of the funds, the City has developed an agreement with the
Gabrieleno Tongva Tribal Center to ensure compliance with all grant
requirements. Gabrieleno Tongva Tribal Center will pay for the services to be
completed as part of the project and, through the City, will request

consistent with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic
Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and
Reconstructing Historic Buildings (1995), Weeks and Grimmer.” A Notice of

1. Accept the Grant from Assemblymember Fong’s Office on behalf of
Gabrieleno Tongva Tribal Center at Siban’gna.

F. POLICE DEPARTMENT 36-MONTH LEASE-PURCHASE OF TWO FRONTLINE
VEHICLES AND NINE UNMARKED DETECTIVE AND COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT BUREAU VEHICLES, THROUGH THE ENTERPRISE FLEET
MANAGEMENT PROGRAM IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $545,844.24
Public Works Fleet Division personnel and police staff have determined that a
2017 Ford Explorer Interceptor and a 2015 Chevy Tahoe patrol vehicle have
reached the end of their lifespan as frontline emergency vehicles and have been
designated for replacement. Unmarked police units are also needed in the
Detective (DB) and Community Engagement Bureaus (CEB) to replace their
aging fleets. The 2017 Ford Explorer Interceptor will be reassigned to CEB, while
the 2015 Chevy Tahoe will be disposed of via established protocols through the
fleet manager at the Auto Shops. Four frontline Ford Explorer Interceptors and
two DB units that still have decent resale values will be sold to Enterprise Fleet
Management (EFM) to offset the overall cost of the vehicle replacement
program. Other DB and CEB units that have little to no equity will be disposed
of via established protocols through the City’s Fleet Manager. The total cost for
this 36-month lease purchase agreement for eleven vehicles is approximately
$545,844 and breaks out to $181,948 per year. On January 21, 2025, the City
Council approved an agreement with EFM and authorized the lease of four
patrol vehicles with a 36-month lease term for a total amount of $295,425, or
$98,475 per year. Including this proposed lease, less the $81,000 in trade-in
equity, the total vehicle lease obligations over the next 36 months amount to
approximately $646,792, with a combined annual lease payment of $215,597.
Lease payments are made from the Fleet Services Fund, which receives funding
from the General Fund to cover fleet-related expenditures. The adopted Fiscal
Year 2024-25 budget included an appropriation of $295,000 in the Police
Department’s Special Projects Fund (Account No. 124-751-37-99-201) for
vehicle purchases, which has been carried forward to Fiscal Year 2025-26.
Funding is available in the Fleet Services 2025-26 budget to pay for the current
vehicle lease expenditures. However, an additional $351,792 will need to be
appropriated in future years to fully fund the remaining lease payments.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: Not a Project as
defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager to leasepurchase the vehicles listed for an amount not to exceed $181,948. |
