Glendora Approves Amendment to People Movement Project Agreement, Adjusting Funding and Grant Management with COG
The City Council considered and approved an amendment to the memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (COG) for the Glendora People Movement Project. This amendment is primarily administrative and financial, adjusting funding allocations among project phases and transferring grant management responsibilities for certain grants from the city to the COG. It also removes $315,000 in Green Street funding, as determined by the city not to fit within this project due to proximity to the Finkbiner project. The amendment confirms the city's commitment to forward programmed CIP and local return contributions to the COG. While the San Dimas Wash Trail is under construction and Glendora Avenue/Foothill Boulevard are in design, funding for the Big Dalton Wash Trail is still being sought, with the COG not obligated to advertise for construction bids until funds are secured. The project aims to improve walking, biking, rolling, and trail connectivity, including access to the Metro A-line station.
Glendora Renews Streetlight Maintenance Contract with 3.4% CPI Adjustment for FY 2026-2027
The City Council approved the renewal of the contract for streetlight maintenance services for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. This renewal includes an annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment of 3.4%, which will increase the base assessment rate for a single-family residence from $50.63 to $52.35. The district maintains 2,996 streetlights city-wide. The total projected costs are $1.3 million, balanced by revenues from assessments, gas tax funds, and reserve contributions. An operational reserve of approximately $749,000 is maintained to manage cash flow between assessment collections and cover unexpected expenses. The council adopted resolutions approving the engineer's report and confirming the diagram and assessments.
Glendora Approves Landscape Maintenance District Renewal with CPI Adjustments, City Provides General Fund Subsidy
The City Council approved the renewal of the Landscape Maintenance District 1 contract for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. This renewal includes an annual CPI adjustment of 3.4% for most zones, resulting in varied increases across the seven benefit zones. Zone 5, located at Hampton and Gladstone, has no CPI adjustment and its rate remains constant. The total levy and maintenance costs are projected, with the city subsidizing the district by an estimated $33,494 from the general fund due to O&M costs slightly exceeding collected revenues. The council adopted two resolutions: one approving the engineer's report and another confirming the diagram and assessment.
Glendora Council Approves Hiring Third Community Preservation Officer Amidst Fiscal and Operational Discussions
The City Council considered the fiscal impact of increasing authorized positions for Community Preservation Officers (CPOs) from two to three. The additional CPO is intended to enhance community connection, responsiveness, and proactive enforcement. The fully burdened cost for the new position, including a vehicle, is estimated at $186,400. Funding for FY 2026-2027 is proposed to come from the general fund contingency account, with subsequent years funded by Measures EAZ. A supplemental appropriation of $70,000 for a new vehicle may be absorbed by fleet management fund reserves. While Councilmember Alawas expressed concern about long-term liability and reliance on Measure EAZ funds, Mayor Friedendahl and Councilmembers Thompson and Elias supported the increase, citing the need for greater presence and responsiveness to quality-of-life issues. The motion to hire the position passed 4-1.
Glendora Allocates $11.88 Million for Street and Facility Improvements, Targeting Major Corridors and Key Infrastructure
The City Council reviewed a report detailing the allocation of $11.88 million in one-time funding towards street and facility improvements. The street portion, totaling $8.7 million, aims to increase the city's overall street score by 2.87 points, bringing it to 63.2 (fair range). Priority was given to major corridors like Route 66 and Grand Avenue, with specific segments identified for pavement repair. An additional $500,000 was allocated for slurry seal to proactively maintain streets. For facilities, $3.15 million will be used for 61 items across 13 parks, facilities, and buildings, excluding the library and public works yard, which were prioritized for future funding. Staff has initiated engineering and design work, with bids anticipated in early fall and construction starting later this year and continuing into early 2027. The council also discussed the need for safer intersections, particularly Compromise Line at Route 66, citing ongoing traffic concerns and a past fatality.
