Top issues during term (18)(Parks Rec)
Smith Park Pool — $500,000 Planning Grant
The heater replacement is underway; new private and semi-private lessons carry fees that have not yet been set.
Mission Playhouse Centennial (2027)
$3,000 in private donations plus a matching $3,000 budget amendment.
Right SG Shuttle Service and Event Accessibility
The city will spend on two new Ford Transit vans, giving it a needed backup vehicle.
Declining Event Attendance and Marketing Data
Better data could shape how the community services budget is directed toward events and marketing.
Youth Ambassador Program
No direct cost yet; larger additions like an ice rink would require a budget request.
Grapevine Arbor fee waiver for Historical Association
The city forgoes $480 in rental fees.
Veterans Memorial in Plaza Park
The design budget was already approved; construction funding and a maintenance plan still need City Council approval, with ongoing upkeep expected from the general fund.
Commercial Avenue block party closure
No significant cost noted; standard city event processing.
Mission Playhouse Nonprofit and Strategic Plan
The city forgoes $10,270 in Playhouse rental revenue across the two waivers.
Independence Day Parade Revival and Holiday Flag Displays
Recognition of indigenous people
50th anniversary Holiday Tree Lighting expansion
Ice rink and slide options cost roughly the same; a real ice rink could be costly but could also generate revenue if privately operated.
Community Recreation Center office closure
Classes were postponed, not canceled; no cost figure was given.
Victor Lugo Park flooding after storms
No cost estimate given; a permanent fix would likely be a budget-cycle item.
Lantern Festival, March 21-22, 2026
Park hours ordinance (6 a.m. opening)
No fiscal impact — the cost of updating park signage fits within the current year's budget.
Smith Park two-hour parking enforcement
Marketing to South San Gabriel and Valley Boulevard Communities
