Budget Study Session
Wednesday, April 27, 2016
|
Members of the public are invited to attend a Budget Study Session on Wednesday, April 27, in the City Council Chambers, 1424 Mission Street. At the Study Session, the City Council and staff will review the proposed Capital Improvement Plan, staff funding requests, and accept public comment for the upcoming year's budget. The Study Session will take place during the Special City Council Meeting which begins at 7:00 pm.
The Budget Study Session comes on the heels of the March 12 Community Forum on Budget and Priorities, where over 40 community members participated in meaningful dialogue with City staff about the collective interests of the City and begin to set priorities for the budget. During the event, City staff
asked participants to rank a list of twelve projects so the Council and staff could better understand what is viewed as "must have vs. nice to have" projects. Top projects/programs identified included:
- A proposed update to the General Plan and Mission Street Specific Plan, the primary sources of policy for land use, economic development, protection of the natural environment, traffic, and parking;
- Consistent and ongoing funding to replace the City's vehicle fleet and equipment, which staff uses to provides critical services including public safety services; and
- Construction of an updated Emergency Operations Center where City staff can perform all functions needed during a catastrophic event.
The input received at the Budget Study Session will be used as the City Council and staff continue the annual budget process in May and June 2016.
At the May 18 City Council meeting, staff will present a draft budget for Fiscal Year 2016-17. Finally, at the June 1 City Council meeting, the City will hold a public hearing to discuss the proposed budget and, potentially, adopt it. Public comment is encouraged at each meeting.

Help Protect Local Citrus From Serious Threat
|
A deadly plant disease called Huanglongbing (HLB) has just been found in the San Gabriel valley and all homeowners are being asked to help stop the spread of the disease, which has been called a death sentence for California citrus.
Once trees are infected with HLB, they will die, threatening the
ability of homeowners to grow citrus in their backyards. Symptoms of HLB include splotchy, yellowing leaves; yellow shoots; lopsided, small and bitter fruit; and premature and excessive fruit drops. Researchers are looking for a cure but until one is found, every tree infected with HLB will die and needs to be removed to protect other trees on the property, neighbors' trees and the community's citrus.
To protect local citrus trees, follow these stepts:
- Cooperate - Cooperate with agriculture crews inspecting local trees for the disease and taking plant samples.
- Don't move citrus - Do not bring any citrus plant material into the county from other areas because they might be infected with HLB. Also, keep homegrown citrus fruit at home and do not transport citrus plant cuttings out of the area.
- Inspect your trees - Look for signs of the disease each month or whenever watering, spraying, pruning or tending trees.
- Learn what to look for - Visit CaliforniaCitrusThreat.org or use the Save Our Citrus app, which can be downloaded from the website.
If you think you've found the disease, contact the Los Angeles County Department of Agriculture at
(626) 575-5471
or call the California Department of Food and Agriculture hotline at (
800) 491-1899.
