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.

20251216 LA County San Gabriel City Council Order of Business 7 A. INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 727 AMENDING THE SAN GABRIEL MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO PARK HOURS The San Gabriel Municipal Code (SGMC) currently lists hours for City-owned parks and playgrounds, including school playgrounds for which the City has a contract with the San Gabriel Unified School District for recreational purposes. SGMC Section 99.04 provides that parks are closed to the public from 10:00 P.M. until 7:30 A.M. Ordinance No. 727 will update the San Gabriel Municipal Code to amend the park hours of all City-owned parks to open at 6:00 A.M., with the exception of Marshall Park. There is no fiscal impact associated with this action, as the updated park hours simply make the park available to the public at an earlier time. The cost to update park hours signage will be absorbed in the current Fiscal Year 2025-2026 budget. 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. Introduce by title only, conduct the first reading of Ordinance No. 727, entitled “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of San Gabriel, California, Amending San Gabriel Municipal Code Section 99 relating to Park Regulations;” and 2. Schedule the second reading and adoption for the next regular Council meeting. December 16, 2025 LA County San Gabriel City Council Order of Business 7 #A

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.

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.

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).
