This was the time and place set by Notice No. N2M26-65 for the City Council to hold a public hearing on the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Appropriation Limit. Director of Finance LIEU delivered a staff report. 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.
Proposition 111 would allow the City to adjust its annual limits for the following factors, subject to approval by the City Council:
a) Either the California Per Capita Income or the percentage change in local assessment roll from the preceding year due to the addition of local nonresidential construction in the City.
b) Either the City’s own population growth or the population growth of the entire county.
Government Code Section 7910 requires agencies to adopt a resolution each year disclosing their appropriation limit. In accordance with Proposition 111, the City is required to conduct a review of their appropriations limit during the annual financial audit. For Fiscal 4 6-22-26
Year 2024-2025, 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 2026-2027 fiscal year are on file in the Finance Department. The appropriation limit for the 2026-27 fiscal year was $211,535,544 and the applicable appropriation subject to this limitation is $91,357,095.
Therefore, the City was favorably under the appropriations limit by $120,178,449.

Effective January 1, 2025, AB 2561 added California Government Code Section 3502.3 which would require public agencies to hold a public hearing at least once per fiscal year to report on vacancy and recruitment status and retention efforts.

On May 11, 2026, Vice Mayor Andrade-Stadler requested that staff agendize a review of the existing PPD restrictions and evaluate the potential expansion of the District to address ongoing parking concerns raised by residents related to the nearby Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) training facility. LAFC opened after the PPD was created. Since the May 11th meeting, staff received numerous calls from residents in the PPD, particularly those that were interested in having their street removed from the PPD because there is no longer an issue. As such, staff recommended community outreach be conducted for all properties in the current PPD, to determine if the boundaries should be reduced, and if the days/hours of the remaining PPD should be expanded to include Saturday and Sunday to regulate LAFC parking.

48. APPROVAL OF A CHANGE ORDER TO CONTRACT FOR THE STORM DRAIN REHABILITATION PROJECT ON CARLOS AVENUE – F2M25-64, C2M26-5, M2M26-83 On January 26, 2025, the City Council approved an award of Contract to Torres Sanitation Systems Construction for the Storm Drain Rehabilitation Project on Carlos Avenue in an 9 6-22-26
amount not to exceed $100,300.00 (C2M26-5). The Storm Drain Pipe Repair Project originally intended to rehabilitate a failing drainage line from 2027 Carlos Avenue to Montezuma Avenue. Due to the alignment passing multiple private properties, a trenchless pipe-lining method was selected to minimize surface disruption. However, prelining video inspections revealed severe structural deterioration undetected during initial assessments. Portions of the existing corrugated metal pipe were completely rusted out, leaving the pipe without a bottom section. This structural failure made immediate trenchless lining technically infeasible without structural stabilization. To resolve this issue and complete the project, the contractor would perform open-trench spot repairs at three distinct locations. This proposed Change Order would cover the direct costs of these structural spot repairs, alongside necessary site restoration efforts including concrete paving, soil leveling, and property cleaning.
Discussion: None.
Action Taken: City Council approved Change Order No. 1 for the Storm Drain Rehabilitation Project on Carlos Avenue, increasing Contract No. C2M26-5 with Torres Sanitation Systems Construction by $48,000.00 and bringing the total revised contract value to an amount not to exceed $148,300.00 to complete the project; appropriated $48,000.00 from the Safe Clean Water Program Fund to cover the change order; and, directed staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize the Council’s action.

On September 28, 1992, the City Council adopted Resolution No. R-92-46 and entered into Agreement No. 92-2181382 with the Alhambra Historical Society concerning the museum operated by the Society on City-owned real property located at Burke Heritage Park. In 2024, the Society received the historic Story House, located at 502 N. Story Place, as a donation. The Society sought a property tax exemption for the Story House. As part of that process, the California State Board of Equalization required the Society’s governing documents to include provisions dedicating its assets to charitable purposes and specifying the distribution of assets upon dissolution. To meet these requirements while preserving the City’s interest in the Museum collection and assets associated with the Museum, the City and the Society proposed amending Paragraph 4 of the Agreement.
Paragraph 7 of the Agreement provided that amendments must be approved in writing by both parties and recorded with the Los Angeles County Recorder.
Discussion: None.
Action Taken: City Council approved the First Amendment to the Agreement with the Alhambra Historical Society, revisions to the Bylaws, and an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation; and, directed staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize the Council’s actions. (M2M26-108)

38. THIRD AMENDMENT WITH ALL CITY MANAGEMENT SERVICES (ACMS) FOR SCHOOL CROSSING GUARD SERVICES – F2M22-62, C2M23-90, M2M26-109 Staff requested to amend the contract with ACMS to extend the contract to July 31, 2031, and thereby increase the contract by an additional $1,406,886.00 for the first three years and the remaining two years increases would be based on the annual consumer price index (CPI) of Los Angeles County to continue the school crossing guard program. The City entered into the contract in 2023 with the intent of evaluating the reliability of ACMS before awarding additional years. ACMS had a track record for reliable and responsive service, therefore staff recommended awarding an amendment pursuant to Discussion: None.
Action Taken: City Council approved the Third Amendment to Contract No.
C2M23-90 with All City Management Services, subject to final language approval by the City Manager and City Attorney, for crossing guard services for a five-year term in an 25 6-22-26
amount not to exceed $1,406,886.00 for the first three years of the term and annual CPI increase each year thereafter; extended the contract terms to July 31, 2031, contingent on an agreement with the Alhambra Unified School District for the reimbursement of summer school crossing guard services; authorized the City Manager or designee to execute such documents; and directed staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize the Council’s action.

39. AWARD OF CONTRACT PURCHASE OF ONE COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS FUELED PASSENGER BUS FOR THE ALHAMBRA COMMUNITY TRANSIT – F2M26- 6A, C2M26-41, M2M26-110
Staff recommended the purchase of a single replacement bus at this time because the City was actively working with transit consultants to develop a long-term fleet electrification strategy. As the City evaluates the transition to battery-electric buses and the infrastructure necessary to support them, purchasing one replacement CNG bus would ensure the continued reliability of transit operations while maintaining flexibility for future fleet replacement decisions. The proposed purchase would be made through the California Association for Coordinated Transportation (Cal ACT) cooperative purchasing program. Using the co-op purchase contract enabled the City to leverage competitively solicited pricing and streamlined procurement procedures, resulting in cost savings. The City’s Municipal Code under 3.36.080(B)(3) authorizes dispensing with the City’s purchasing methods if the supply or equipment is available through or in conjunction with another public agency’s purchase of such supply or equipment, and the other public entity has gone through a bidding process the City determines is comparable to the City’s processes (piggybacking).
Discussion: None.
Action Taken: City Council awarded a contract to GILLIG LLC, for the purchase of one (1) 35-foot compressed natural gas (CNG) transit bus for the Alhambra Community Transit (ACT) system in the amount of $850,000.00; and, directed staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize the Council’s action.

40. APPROVE SECOND CONTRACT AMENDMENT FOR INFOSEND INC. ELECTRONIC
BILL PRESENTATION AND PAYMENT SERVICE, DATA PROCESSING, AND PRINTING AND MAILING SERVICES FOR UTILITY BILLING – F2M19-41, C2M22-26, M2M26-111
The Utilities Department Customer Service Center (CSC) is the primary processing center for billing Alhambra customers for water, sewer and paramedic charges. Infosend Inc. has provided professional bill presentation and payment services, which include printing and 26 6-22-26
mailing services, online billing, automatic payments and paperless bills. The term of the original agreement was July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025 with the option to extend said services by the City Manager for an additional two (2) terms. With services remaining acceptable, the City Manager was authorized to approve two consecutive one-year extensions. This second contract amendment would not only extend the term to June 2027, but also increase the annual contract by $25,000.00 beginning June 2026. Contract fee increases would reflect the rising costs of production, materials, and expanded paramedic services.
Discussion: None.
Action Taken: City Council approved an amendment to the contract with Infosend Inc. (Contract No. C2M22-26), subject to final language review by the City Manager and City Attorney, to increase the contract by $25,000.00 a year for electronic bill presentation, payment services, data processing, printing, and mailing services for utility billing; and, directed staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize Council’s action.

41. AWARD CONTRACT: 2025-2026 CDBG INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT – F2M26-32, N2M26-40, C2M26-42, M2M26-112
The Notice Inviting Bids (N2M26-40) was approved on April 13, 2026. The project consisted of sidewalk improvements, repair of curb and gutter, off-grade driveway approaches and removing/replacing ADA ramps. On Thursday, May 28, 2026, the City Clerk received 9 bids ranging from $539,200.00 (Towo Enterprise, Inc.) to $923,200.00 (Toro Enterprises, Inc.). Staff reviewed the bids and found the bid received from Towo Enterprise, Inc. in the amount of $539,200.00 was the lowest responsible bid. Towo Enterprise, Inc. has the necessary licenses to complete the work and has conducted similar scale projects in surrounding cities. CDBG funds in the amount of $374,114.00 would be utilized for the repair of sidewalk to improve accessibility for senior and persons with disabilities or mobility impairments.
Discussion: None.
Action Taken: City Council awarded a contract to Towo Enterprise, Inc., subject to final language approval by the City Manager and City Attorney, for the construction of the 2025-2026 CDBG Infrastructure Improvements Project in the amount of $539,200; directed the Finance Director to appropriate $374,114.00 from the ADA Improvements fund account number 251.12.12520.00000.914530 and allocate the funds into the CDBG Capital Improvements fund account number 251.12.12520.00000.918320; and, directed staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize the Council’s action.

42. APPROVAL OF THE CITY OF ALHAMBRA COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY PLAN – F2M22-64, M2M26-113
City staff and consultants from ESA completed the City of Alhambra’s first Comprehensive Environmental Sustainability Plan (the Plan) to provide a long-term framework that would help improve environmental and sustainability issues within Alhambra. This final draft of the Plan was the product of extensive data analysis, community engagement, and input from experts and stakeholders. At the direction of the City Council, staff and ESA held a monthlong period for public comment on the public draft that was released in late March 2026. The final draft of the Plan contained unique strategies, measurable targets, and achievable actions to describe the steps for reaching the City’s vision of sustainability. It identified high priority programs and projects for staff to undertake in the first years after adoption. Importantly, the Plan also identified key metrics that would be used to measure the impact of the actions. A detailed path for implementation was a key component of the Plan. Staff would continue to provide regular updates to the Environmental Sustainability Commission and seek guidance on prioritization of the recommended actions in the Plan with the budget Council provided. Staff would continue community engagement and outreach to educate residents, businesses, and stakeholders about the sustainability action items. Staff would actively pursue grant funding, strategic partnerships, and other resources to support implementation and leverage City investments to maximize community and environmental benefits.
Public Comment:
1) Lewis McCammon spoke in favor of the Plan.
2) Sawyer Brooks encouraged more Council discussion of the item. He supported sustainability measures for renters. He stated that the Plan fell short with respect to handling buildings and cars. He suggested stronger language and more requirements to incentivize all-electric developments, walkable mixed use development neighborhoods, and better transit options and connections. He also suggested expanded responsibility for the Environmental Sustainability Commission and a dedicated staff member to oversee implementation.
Discussion: Mayor MALONEY spoke in support of the Plan and agreed with comments made by Mr. Brooks. He stated that the Plan should be considered a living document which could continue to evolve to meet the community’s needs. He also stressed the importance to implement the plan. He made a motion to adopt the Plan with additional suggestions for the implementation plan. He suggested reviewing similar plans in other divisions, coordination between departments, a public dashboard to review progress, for staff to provide progress updates at Environmental Sustainability Commission meetings, for the Environmental Sustainability Commission to provide input to staff for implementation, for staff to continue to seek out additional funding sources with sustainability aspects, requested a distilled down list of projects from the Plan which would not require capital investment, requested an energy audit of the City, and receive input from staff regarding use of surplus money Council allocated to the Plan.
Vice Mayor ANDRADE-STADLER supported Mr. Maloney’s suggestions and spoke in support of the Plan. Councilmember WANG spoke in support of Mr. Maloney’s suggestions. Councilmember MAZA supported Mr. Maloney’s suggestions.
Councilmember LEE supported the Plan and the need for continued review. 28 6-22-26
Action Taken: City Council approved and adopted the Comprehensive Environmental Sustainability Plan, directed staff to create an Implementation plan within a reasonable amount of time including Council direction; and, directed staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize the Council’s action.

43. AWARD OF CONTRACT TO THE ENERGY COALITION FOR DIRECT-TO-RENTER PILOT PROGRAM – F2M26-36, C2M26-43, M2M26-114
In December, the City secured funding from the Clean Power Alliance Innovation Fund to develop a program to provide income-qualified Alhambra renters energy-efficient electric appliances, such as HEPA air purifiers, portable heat pump HVAC units, smart plugs, or portable power stations. The pilot program, called Renter’s EDGE (equity-driven green electrification), will provide these renter-friendly electric appliances at no cost directly to income-qualified Alhambra renters who are Clean Power Alliance customers. Successful implementation of a new direct-to-renter program requires specialized technical expertise, data management, and appliance procurement capabilities. Staff recommends utilizing the piggybacking process to award this contract to the Energy Coalition (TEC) based on the procurement process undertaken by other public agencies (Alhambra Municipal Code Section 3.36.080(B)(3)). The City of Santa Monica and Orange County Power Authority each selected TEC to provide technical assistance, support and/or program design oversight for similar direct-to-renter programs, through their respective competitive processes. TEC was also awarded, through a competitive process, a Community Energy Innovation Prize from the U.S. Department of Energy to design and implement a pilot project in Pomona. For the City of Alhambra, TEC will provide comprehensive program implementation services, including the creation of marketing and outreach materials, development of the participant application process, procurement and delivery of appliances, and data collection and analysis.
Public Comment: Lewis McCammon spoke in favor of the program.
Discussion: None.
Action Taken: City Council approved a contract, subject to final language approval by the City Manager and City Attorney, by and between the City of Alhambra and the Energy Coalition (TEC), for the direct-to-renter pilot program in an amount not to exceed $125,000.00; and, directed staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize the Council’s action.

44. CONTRACT AMENDMENT WITH KIMLEY HORN FOR ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC STUDY WORK TO FURTHER ASSESS IMPACT FROM THE CITY’S 710 STUB ARTERIAL CONVERSION PROJECT – F2M19-32, C2M20-43, M2M26-115
29 6-22-26
At the May 26, 2026 710 MIPs Town Hall, the City Council directed staff and engineers pause on the next phase of work—the Project Approval and Environmental Document, Plans, Specifications and Estimate (PSE) and Right of Way (RW) work for the Fremont Interchange Project—until such time additional traffic and impact analyses were conducted to further evaluate the potential effects and mitigation associated with the City’s 710 Stub Arterial Conversion Project before determining future project development sequencing. Understanding the City’s Municipal Code would allow the Council to waive additional procurement procedures when advantageous for the City to do so, the City Council further directed Kimley Horn facilitate the study work considering their intimate knowledge with the City’s MIPs. On June 17, 2026, staff received a detailed proposal from Kimley Horn outlining the scope of work under this task, schedule, and related costs.
Kimley Horn would provide a corridor- wide traffic analysis independent of the Caltrans project development process. The purpose of this effort was to evaluate the Stub Arterial Conversion Project alternatives, assess resulting impacts to local and regional transportation facilities, identify operational deficiencies, and develop mitigation strategies that may improve overall system performance. The study would evaluate traffic conditions throughout the corridor, including the l-10/Fremont Avenue, 1-10/Atlantic Boulevard, and 1-10/Garfield Avenue interchange areas, and would provide technical findings and recommendations to support future City decision-making. The costs for the study work were $326,098, bringing the contract’s not-to-exceed total to $6,639,613.79. It would take approximately six months to complete the study work, which results would subsequently be presented to the Council during a public meeting.
Public Comment:
1) Lewis McCammon provided a handout to Council and discussed traffic merging on Fremont and Hellman. He did not support an arterial design, which would impact traffic traveling east on the 10 Freeway.
2) Ron Sahu, representing Grassroots Alhambra, submitted his comments via email. Mr.
SAHU thanked Council for the Town Hall discussion regarding the 710 project and supported the traffic study with some amendments. He requested greater transparency, increased public involvement, and completion in 4 months. 3) Melissa Michelson expressed concerns with the neutrality of Kimley-Horn as a contracted consultant. She also requested that the traffic study include Valley and Fremont.
4) Jeffrey Gomez spoke against the study and discussed the lack of need for the study.
Discussion: Mayor MALONEY addressed Mr. Sahu’s comments and suggestions. He supported the suggestion for greater transparency to track changes, requested staff try to expedite the work to be presented before the winter holidays, and suggested a subcommittee of the Council to participate in meetings with the consultant to then provide updates to the public. He went on to address concerns regarding funding and provided clarification.
Vice Mayor ANDRADE-STADLER agreed with Mr. Maloney’s comments regarding transparency and volunteered to be a part of the subcommittee. She agreed with the suggestion for the subcommittee to interact with the public and receive input. She also 30 6-22-26
supported the new funding sources and reported positive feedback from families of Fremont Elementary School.
Councilmember WANG discussed the need for continued clarification and updated information and discussed the impact assessment and mitigation which was included in the new scope of work. She questioned if the scope could be narrowed to expedite the traffic study and the continuation of the PAD process. Eugene WONG from Kimley-Horn provided clarification regarding the new scope of work after receiving feedback from the Town Hall meeting.
Councilmember MAZA supported Ms. Wang’s suggestion for Kimley-Horn to try and expedite the study. He supported the creation of a subcommittee and cautioned that the additional input should not slow down the process.
Councilmember LEE discussed the Town Hall meeting and receiving feedback from residents directly impacted. Mr. WONG provided clarification regarding the traffic study and the potential exploration of the Fremont Interchange Project. They continued to discuss pressure from Council, the need to expedite analysis, and the increased costs.
They also discussed the next steps in deliverable goals and the assessment report.
Mayor MALONEY discussed the City’s overall objective with the project and supported the study. He requested a motion with his added suggestions regarding transparency, Ms.
Wang’s suggestion regarding streamlined costs, and the suggestion for a subcommittee consisting of Mayor Maloney and Vice Mayor ANDRADE-STADLER. Council continued to discuss Mr. Maloney’s suggestions.
Action Taken: City Council approved a Fourth Contract Amendment with KimleyHorn (Contract C2M20-43), subject to final language approval by the City Manager and the City Attorney, for an additional $326,098 for professional engineering consulting services for additional traffic and impact analyses to further evaluate the potential effects and mitigation associated with the City’s 710 Stub Arterial Conversion Project; authorize appropriations in the amount of $326,098 from Measure M Funds in Fiscal Year 2026-27 for the costs associated with this study work; directed the consultant and staff provide progress updates; authorized the creation of a Council subcommittee, consisting of Mayor Maloney and Vice Mayor ANDRADE-STADLER, to meet with the consultant and the public; and, direct staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize the Council’s action.

49. FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE ADDING CHAPTER 6.29 (“RESIDENTIAL TENANT PROTECTIONS”) TO TITLE VI (HEALTH AND SANITATION) OF THE
ALHAMBRA MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING AN INCREASED RELOCATION
ASSISTANCE OBLIGATION ON CERTAIN NO-FAULT RESIDENTIAL EVICTIONS IN THE CITY OF ALHAMBRA – F2M26-7, O2M26-4861
On April 13, 2026, the City Council directed staff to prepare an ordinance to increase relocation assistance payments for no-fault evictions from one month to three months’ rent. The ordinance would add Chapter 6.29 to the City’s Municipal Code, requiring that in those circumstances where relocation assistance is required under AB 1482, that the obligation would be increased from one to three months. To the extent that a owner/landlord did not comply with this requirement, the ordinance provided that such noncompliance could be asserted as a defense in any action brought by the owner to recover possession of a residential unit. On May 11, 2026 the City Council considered a draft ordinance and requested changes to exempt residential properties with four or fewer units, except in the event of a demolition or substantial remodel. The proposed ordinance was revised consistent with that direction.
Public Comment:
1) Lewis McCammon spoke in favor of the proposed ordinance and referred to the development at 110 S. Chapel Ave. which evicted several tenants. 2) Bill Ruh, representing the Citrus Valley Association of Realtors, spoke against the proposed ordinance.
3) Joseph Ramos, representing Apartment Association of Greater Los Angeles, spoke against the proposed ordinance.
4) Nanette Ong requested clarification regarding the number of units excepted from the ordinance and requested increasing the exception to 8 or 9 units. She went on to speak to the challenges of “mom and pop” landlords and questioned the ability of Council to vote of this item if they own property.
5) Becky Chen, representing the Arcadia Board of Realtors, spoke against the proposed ordinance and spoke about the burden on “mom and pop” landlords. 6) Jing Li, via Zoom, spoke against the ordinance and burden on “mom and pop” landlords.

Councilmember LEE discussed the changes made to the ordinance and stated that she still supported the exemptions listed in SB1482, the Tenant Protection Act from 2019. Mr.
MONTES provided clarification. Ms. LEE went on to provide background on the Item. She seconded Ms. Andrade-Stadler’s motion.
Councilmember WANG addressed public comment and the concerns. She discussed the changes Council made to the ordinance. She supported the ordinance.

50. CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR A GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION IN SAID CITY TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 3, 2026, PROVIDING FOR
THE CONSOLIDATION OF THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION WITH THE STATEWIDE GENERAL ELECTION; SAID ELECTION BEING HELD FOR A BALLOT MEASURE TO AMEND ALHAMBRA MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 5.70
(“TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX”) – F2M26-33, O2M26-4865
Alhambra has provided a variety of essential municipal services, including Fire, Police, 34 6-22-26
Emergency 911, youth and senior services, library, parks, public works and utilities. In recent years, the City’s ability to maintain these services has become more difficult with service costs increasing including costs from impacts to infrastructure and public safety from short-term vacation rentals in residential neighborhoods. Short-term vacation rentals have impacted local services and infrastructure just as traditional hotels; however, shortterm rentals currently in Alhambra have not been paying the same transient occupancy tax imposed on traditional hotels. For the 2026-27 Fiscal Year Budget, the City’s finances showed a net zero unassigned General Fund Balance, meaning there have been no additional or surplus funds available to address a host of priorities including facility upgrades, reserve contributions, capital and equipment repair and replacement, and unfunded liability. The City must identify and secure funding streams, if adopted by Alhambra voters, which ensure visitor-related impacts would be funded by visitors and not residents. The City of Alhambra aims to preserve Alhambra’s quality of life, including wellmaintained streets, quality of local parks, safe and clean neighborhoods, and rapid 911 response. A local Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) for short-term vacation rentals for stays up to 30 days at the same rate (12% of the rent charged by an operator of a hotel or motel) as specified under the City’s existing TOT under the Alhambra Municipal Code Chapter
5.70 would help support the services the Alhambra community have designated as important at levels consistent with the community’s priorities. Calling the election requires adoption of an ordinance. The proposed ordinance would do the following: Set forth City Council approval of a TOT of 12% for short-term vacation rentals for stays up to 30 days, subject to Alhambra voter approval; Call a general municipal election on November 3, 2026, for the purpose of submitting the Ballot Measure for consideration of the qualified electors of the City, modernizing the definitions of “transients” and “hotel” in the TOT Ordinance, while not changing the TOT rate of 12%, and that ballot measure would be presented as an amendment to a general tax imposed for general governmental purposes, with revenue from the tax to be placed in the City’s general fund to pay for any general governmental purpose; Direct the City Attorney to prepare the measure summary per Elections Code 9280; and, Sets out time frames and deadlines for submittal of ballot arguments and rebuttals.
Discussion: None.
Action Taken: City Council, by one motion, took the following actions:
1. Found that the proposed action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(8), and California Code of Regulations Section 15378(b)(5) because it relates to organizational or administrative activities of the City, it leads to the establishment of funding City services within existing service areas, and will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment.
2. Declared introduced for its first reading the following ordinance entitled:
Ordinance No. O2M26-4865: An Ordinance of the Alhambra City Council providing for a General Municipal Election in said City to be held on November 3, 2026, providing for the consolidation of the General Municipal Election with the Statewide General Election; said election being held for a Ballot Measure, known as the City of Alhambra “Modernization/No Tax Rate Increase Measure” to amend Alhambra Municipal Code Chapter 5.70 (“Transient Occupancy Tax”) to include short term rentals at the same rate as other hotels 35 6-22-26
3. Directed staff to agendize for consideration at the July 27,2026 City Council meeting, the following items:
a. Second reading and adoption of the above-referenced ordinance; b. Adoption of a Resolution entitled: A Resolution of the Alhambra City Council requesting the Board of Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles to order the consolidation of an Alhambra General Municipal Election to be held on November 3, 2026 with the Statewide General Election to be held in Los Angeles County the same day, to authorize the Board of Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles to canvass the returns of said General Municipal Election and to request that the Registrar of Voters of said County be permitted to render specified services to the City of Alhambra relating to the conduct of said General Municipal Election pursuant to Elections Code Section 10403 Vote: Moved: ANDRADE-STADLER Seconded: MAZA

51. SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE APPROVING ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT AMD-26-04 MAKING GENERAL CLARIFYING UPDATES TO THE CITY’S ZONING CODE; AND DETERMINE THIS ACTION IS EXEMPT FROM CEQA – F2M20-24, O2M26-4863
Staff requested that the City Council consider second reading and adoption of an ordinance approving Zoning Text Amendment AMD-26-04 making general clarifying updates to the City’s Zoning Code; and determine this action is exempt from CEQA. This would be a City-initiated application. From time-to-time updates are made to the Alhambra Municipal Code (AMC) to address new State legislation, clarify ambiguous provisions, or delete outdated language. While some of these changes require immediate consideration by the Council, most can be addressed periodically. Accordingly, staff brings a code cleanup ordinance to the Council on an annual basis to address modifications needed due to new legislation, as well as other suggested clarifying changes. Clean-ups to the Zoning Code are processed separately from clean-ups to the rest of the AMC as Planning Commission review is required for Zoning and General Plan Amendments. Similar to prior clean-ups, this update will address new State legislation, eliminate inconsistencies, and create greater clarity in implementing the Zoning Code. This Zoning Code clean-up included both proposed amendments and additions. Amendments consist of revisions to existing sections of the AMC, while additions incorporate entirely new sections into the AMC. The nature of and reasoning for each proposed amendment and addition could be classified by five (5) general categories: 1.) Clarification; 2.) Consistency; 3.) Compliance with State laws/Federal laws; 4.) Typographical & Formatting; and 5.) Use Allowances & Regulations. Some of the proposed amendments and additions were a combination of these five categories. In Attachment 1 of the May 11, 2026 staff report by the Director of Community Development, each proposed amendment/addition was briefly described in a table, which included a breakdown of the categories applicable to each amendment/addition. All of the proposed amendments and additions were reviewed for consistency with the City’s General Plan, as required by AMC Section 23.40.080 (General Plan Consistency Required for Zoning Amendments).

Staff requested that the City Council consider second reading and adoption of an ordinance adding Section 3.12.180 (Two Year Budgets) and amending Sections
2.24.020(C), 2.28.020(C), 2.32.030(A), 2.34.020(C), 9.12.030 and 19.01.010(Sec. 102)(G) of the Alhambra Municipal Code pertaining to the qualifications for members of the Planning Commission, Parks & Recreation Commission, Library Board and Transportation Commission as well as Daytime Loitering and the Sale of Safe and Sane Fireworks From time-to-time updates are made to the AMC to address new state legislation, clarify ambiguous provisions, or delete outdated language. For this annual review, City staff suggested minor changes to the AMC to reflect current practices and clarify confusing parts of the AMC. First, City staff identified the proposed addition of Section 3.12.180 (Two Year Budget) which would allow for the preparation of two-year budgets, which has been staff’s and the Council’s recent practice and preference to better stabilize the City’s finances. Staff also identified proposed amendments to Sections
2.24.020, 2.28.020, 2.32.030, 2.34.020 (Qualifications – Parks & Recreation Commission, Board of Library Trustees and Transportation Commission) which would further clarify the residency requirements for members of those Boards/Commissions. Furthermore, staff proposed amendments to Section 9.12.030 (Loitering; Daytime) which would change the truancy hours from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. daily to instead refer to “school hours,” given the variation in school hours on a daily basis, and by school. Finally, staff proposed an amendment to Section 19.01.010 (Sale of Safe and Sane Fireworks) to address an inconsistency between the fee amount currently stated in the City’s adopted ordinance as it pertained to the sales of Safe and Sane fireworks and the City’s adopted Master Fee Schedule. To ensure accuracy and flexibility moving forward, the proposed ordinance would remove the specific fee amount and instead direct the public to the City’s current fee schedule, as adopted and periodically updated by resolution of the City Council. The proposed ordinance was given first reading at the May 11, 2026 City Council meeting. 37 6-22-26

53. SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS
6.36.030, 20.23.030, 22.08.060, 22.20.090, 22.24.080, AND 22.52.020; CHAPTERS
5.38, 5.52, 5.90, 5.92, AND 22.12; AND ADDING CHAPTER 22.30 OF THE ALHAMBRA MUNICIPAL CODE – F2M26-16, O2M26-4864
Staff requested that the City Council consider second reading and adoption of an ordinance amending Sections 6.36.030, 20.23.030, 22.08.060, 22.20.090, 22.24.080, and
22.52.020; Chapters 5.38, 5.52, 5.90, 5.92, and 22.12; and adding Chapter 22.30 of the Alhambra Municipal Code. Periodically amendments are needed to the Alhambra Municipal Code (“AMC”) based upon changes in legislation and issues arising in implementation of the AMC. This ordinance contained updates to the AMC related to Community Development that were not contained within the Alhambra Zoning Code (“Zoning Code”). The proposed ordinance, which showed the proposed AMC text changes in strikethrough and underline, was provided as an attachment to the May 11, 2026 staff report by the Director of Community Development. The City reviewed the environmental impacts of this Ordinance under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq. "CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regs. §§ 15000, et seq., the "CEQA Guidelines”). This Ordinance was not subject to further review environmental review because: (1) it would not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (14 Cal.
Code Regs. § 15060(c)(2); (2) there was no possibility that this Ordinance would have a significant effect on the environment (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3)); and (3) the Ordinance, by itself, would not constitute a “project” as defined in section 21065 of the Public Resources Code and the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15378). It could be seen with certainty that there was no possibility that this Ordinance would have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed ordinance was given first reading at the May 11, 2026 City Council meeting.
