| 20251118 | LA County | San Gabriel | City Council | Order of Business 4 | H. ACCEPTANCE OF GRANT FROM ASSEMBLYMEMBER FONG’S OFFICE, AGREEMENT WITH GABRIELENO TONGVA TRIBAL CENTER AT SIBAN’GNA TO INCLUDE APPROVAL OF IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, ACCEPTANCE OF IMPENDING NOTICE OF EXEMPTION AND ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 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 reimbursement from the California Department of Parks and Recreation. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: The improvement projects to be completed at Gabrieleno Tongva Tribal Center are exempt from requirements of CEQA, per Guidelines 15331, Class 31, which applies to “projects limited to maintenance, repair, stabilization, rehabilitation, restoration, preservation, conservation or reconstruction of historical resources in a manner 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 Exemption was filed for La Casa, however, since it has been over one year since the CEQA documentation was filed, the approval has expired and will need to refiled. Planning Division staff have prepared the environmental documents to be filed. Recommended Action: Staff recommends that the City Council: 1. Accept the Grant from Assemblymember Fong’s Office on behalf of Gabrieleno Tongva Tribal Center at Siban’gna. 2. Approve the agreement with Gabrieleno Tongva Tribal Center at Siban’gna and the improvement project with review by the Community Development Department, as necessary. 3. Find that the project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15331 and authorize the City Manager to file the Notice of Exemption. 4. Authorize the City Manager to act on the City’s behalf in matters related to this item. | November 18, 2025 LA County San Gabriel City Council Order of Business 4 #H |
