10.a. FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2025-2026 ANNUAL BUDGET STUDY SESSION
On June 3rd, 2025, the City held its first FY25-26 Annual Budget Study
Session. At that meeting, staff made a presentation to City Council
summarizing the General Fund's FY25-26 Proposed Budget, its 5-Year
Financial Forecast, and the causes of the main changes in those financial
forecasts.
The General Fund's FY25-26 Proposed Budget showed a
deficit of $448,744 and growing over the next five years. City Council and
staff discussed, and agreed that the City must “tighten its belts” before
pursuing any additional tax revenues.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: At the June 3rd FY25-26 Annual Budget Study
Session, City Council raised various questions and proposed solutions for
the City to “tighten its belts”. Staff have gathered information to answer
those questions and assessed the feasibility of the solutions
proposed. Staff recommends City Council review the answers, discuss,
and provide further direction to staff towards finalizing the FY25-26 budget. |

12.a. COUNCILMEMBER MANUEL ACOSTA
1. Discussion/Action: As the city seeks more commercial development in
the form of restaurants, it should look at a more diversified plan and
attract/encourage entrepreneurial ventures to set up their businesses in
South El Monte. Corporate franchises are easy to find. But where can
we find non-corporate independent businesses? Is there an organization
for entrepreneurs?
2. Discussion/Action: With passage of Proposition 36 and the plan for the
closure of Men’s Central Jail, the council should consider urging the Los
Angeles County Board of Supervisors of re-considering the plan to close
the jail or provide an appropriate substitute. Attached is a draft letter for
review by the mayor and council, which if agreed upon, can be sent to
the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. |
