City Manager Shannon Yauchzee began the presentation by introducing Terry Shea, serving as

and expenditures, followed by a summary of the proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year;
Mr. Yauchzee noted some of the programs that are anticipated to be reinstated, some City
positions that will be opened for hiring or that will be converted from part-time to full time
positions, and presented options to Council of additional events or programs that could be
• reinstated. Following Mr. Yauchzee's general presentation, department heads briefly narrated
PowerPoint slides specific to their department and answered questions from Council.
Following the presentation, Council discussion ensued regarding which programs may be
reinstated and how budget funds would be impacted by any one or combination of events upon
reinstatement. Council expressed the desire to reinstate the "Celebrate Baldwin Park" parade,
possible having it sometime around Founder's Day. Council also expressed a desire to hold a
State of the City Address in order to bring the citizens up to date on where the City is at and
what Council envisions for the future of Baldwin Park. Discussions went on with regard to
funding of each of these events and a suggestion was made to approve partial funding for the
State of the City Address, and then tasking staff with seeking sponsorships or other supportive
funding for the remainder.
A motion was made by Garcia, seconded by Lozano, and carried (5—0)to reinstate the
"Celebrate Baldwin Park" parade and the State of the City Address.
Council was notified that the necessary adjustments would be made to the budget and that a
final budget, along with the associated Resolutions, would be presented for Council approval at
the next regularly scheduled Council meeting.
Following the conclusion of the presentation, Council adjourned to Closed Session.
