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
20251216 LA County San Gabriel City Council Order of Business 4 H. AMENDMENT OF SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE LEW EDWARDS GROUP AND FM3 RESEARCH TO PROVIDE BALLOT MEASURE POLLING AND PUBLIC OUTREACH SERVICES On October 21, 2025, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with The Lew Edwards Group (LEG) and FM3 Research to provide ballot measure feasibility services, including opinion research and strategic communications support. As LEG and City staff began finalizing the agreement, two minor but important clarifications to the contract language were requested by LEG. These updates are consistent with best practices in municipal ballot measure consulting agreements and are intended to ensure clarity regarding ownership of work product and scope of services. There is no fiscal impact associated with the proposed contract amendments. The not-to-exceed amount previously approved up to $171,250.00 assuming two surveys and a November 2026 General Election remains unchanged. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: This item is not a project as defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines, as it has no reasonable potential for significantly impacting the environment. Recommended Action: Staff recommends that the City Council: 1. Approve the amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with The Lew Edwards Group and FM3 Research to include: o the clarified ownership of work product language; and o the addition of a sentence specifying that legal services are not included within the consultant’s scope of work. 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the contract amendment. December 16, 2025 LA County San Gabriel City Council Order of Business 4 #H
