| 20251104 | LA County | South El Monte | City Council | Order of Business 12 | 12.a. COUNCILMEMBER MANUEL ACOSTA 1. Travel Approval Process Discussion/Action: Every year the city council approves a budget for travel for the city council and all city employees. The approval of the travel has certain requirements. These requirements include professional development, any city-oriented business, and potential benefit to the city and its residents. As long as these requirements are met, travel is almost certain. The current city policy distinguishes between in-state and out-of-state travel. Out-of-state travel requires city council approval, while in-state travel does not. It is unclear why there is a distinction. How does out-of-state travel differ from in-state travel? And why does the city council have to approve out-of-state travel? 2. City Council Paraphernalia Discussion/Action: Individual canvas tarps with city council members' names were purchased with city funds. This is highly unusual and not a typical practice. For example, city council members are not allowed to appear in the city-sponsored newsletter due to it violating political campaign laws. Are_ city-purchased paraphernalia depicting councilmembers’ names exempted? Do their purchase with city funds violate political campaign laws? Or is it simply a city policy? And if itis a city policy, should the city council be required to approve it? | November 04, 2025 LA County South El Monte City Council Order of Business 12 #A |
