FY 2025-2026 Appropriation Limit: Proposition XIII B (Gann Initiative) prohibits local agencies from exceeding their 1978 -79 fiscal year appropriations after allowing for cost-of-living (CPI) and population changes which are certified by the State Department of Finance.

For fiscal year 2023-2024, the City’s appropriation limit was reviewed by our auditors, Moss, Levy & Hartzheim, LLP, and determined to be properly calculated.
The calculations in computing the City of Alhambra’s appropriation limit for the 2025-2026 fiscal year are on file in the Finance Department. The appropriation limit for the 2025-26 fiscal year is $201,962,521 and the applicable appropriation subject to this limitation is $85,928,695. Therefore, the City is favorably under the appropriations limit by $116,033,826.

PRESENTATIONS
3. NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH MEETINGS UPDATE – F2M25-28
The Alhambra Police Department has been conducting neighborhood watch meetings throughout the City to educate, inform and interact with residents and businesses. Staff will present to the City Council the r esults and summaries of the neighborhood watch meetings. Staff will also provide updates on some of the concerns expressed by community members and how the Police Department addressed the concerns.
Recommended Action: City Council receive and file this informational report.
4. RIDERSHIP TRANSPORTATION STUDY FOR THE A LHAMBRA COMMUNITY TRANSIT (ACT) – F2M23-16
In January 2025, City staff contracted Kimley-Horn to conduct a Ridership Transportation Study for the Alhambra Community Transit (ACT). The study includes an assessment of the existing transit market, an analysis of ridership and operations, and engagement with stakeholders and riders. The study evaluated ACT’s current fixed-route system and found that while much of the City is with in a half mile of transit, areas in South Alhambra are underserved and ACT’s Blue Line is underutilized in these sections. Surveys and operator input revealed demand for service to specific destinations not currently served, including Atlantic Times Square, Granada Park, and Garfield Avenue. Based on route performance and surveys, the study recommends implementing Revenue Neutral Alternative (Option B), which modifies the Blue and Green Lines to better serve underserved areas while increasing ridership and maintaining current operating costs. Under this alternative, the Blue Line will be altered to serve Garfield Avenue and Hellman Avenue, while also providing enhanced coverage of east Alhambra. The Green Line is slightly modified only in the clockwise direction, while the counter-clockwise route remains unchanged. Revenue Neutral Alternative (Option B) is projected to increase Blue Line ridership by approximately 44% and Green Line ridership by about 6%, marking the largest increase among all the service alt ernatives considered. Staff has worked closely with First Transit, the City’s transit operations contractor, and they have agreed to the proposed route improvements without additional operating costs to the City. The new service is expected to begin by the end of the calendar year. The proposed route recommendations are budget neutral.
Recommended Action: City Council review the proposed route recommendations from the City’s Ridership Transportation Study and direct staff as deemed appropriate.
CONSENT AGENDA (Item Nos. 5 – 37)
All items listed under the Consent Agenda are considered by the Cit y Council to be routine and will be enacted by one motion unless a citizen or Council member requests otherwise; in which case, the item will be removed for separate consideration.

Consequently, staff is requesting City Council approval of a Statement of Investment Policy for Fiscal Year 2025-2026.
Recommended Action: City Council approve that certa in Investment P olicy document for the City of Alhambra entitled, City of Alhambra Statement of Inves tment Policy - Fiscal Year 2025-2026, on file in the City Clerk’s Office as F2M2 -50 and by this reference incorporated herein and made a part hereof as thou gh fully set forth herein, which document supersedes and replaces that certain document entitled City of Alhambra Statement of Inve stment Policy - Fiscal Year 2024 -2025; and, authorize the Director of Finance to take any and all actions necessary to implem ent said Investment Policy.
