Stakeholders Oversight Committee Meeting

The Baldwin Park Stakeholders Oversight Committee meeting on November 11, 2026, reviewed Measure BP finances and several funding requests. The committee received and filed the financial report; staff reported about $28 million in revenue, approximately $7.1 million in expenditures, $5.1 million in committed funds, and an available balance of roughly $9.7 million after accounting for a $6 million advance to the General Fund. Repayment is scheduled in annual $800,000 installments beginning in December 2026. The committee approved a $120,670 Measure BP request for one Public Works vehicle as part of a larger five-vehicle replacement phase; other vehicles will use SB 1 and integrated-waste funds. Staff described the vehicle procurement process as seeking at least three vendor quotes and comparing them with cooperative purchasing quotes, including Sourcewell. The committee also approved carrying over $5,985 for a Bingo Machine project’s additional PA equipment and $164,352 for services assisting families affected by ICE activities. Staff said the program has served more than 500 families with food baskets and provided over $47,000 in rent and utility assistance.

Members discussed delayed bus shelters and sidewalk work. Staff cited engineering capacity constraints and said a proposal on additional engineering capacity or contracting support could return to the committee; no action was taken on the shelters. Staff also reported a $1.1 million CDBG-funded sidewalk and curb project completed at about 300 locations by Gentry Brothers, a $17 million Barnes Park project nearing completion, and other capital work, including the $2.3 million Greenway project and a $3.79 million Ana Montenegro Park project moving toward a contractor agreement. A possible sports-complex approach and a state parks grant of up to $16 million were discussed as exploratory options, with no procurement or funding decision made.
