PRESENTATION
1. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON UPDATE - F2M26-27
At the March 26 Strategic Plan session, the City Council requested a presentation from Southern California Edison (SCE). Areas where discussion was requested: A presentation of circuit maps with recent outage information, what type of claims can be filed for power loss expenses for residents, what SCE does to minimize business impacts for planned maintenance, and General Q. & A. Jonathan Horton, Government Relations Manager for SCE will provide a presentation.
Recommended Action: City Council receive and order filed this informational report presented this evening
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE UPDATE - F2M21-43
Alhambra Chamber of Commerce President, Mr. John Bwarie, will present an update for Chamber of Commerce activities.
Recommended Action: City Council receive and order filed this informational report. 3 7-14-26
CONSIDERATION OF AND INTRODUCTION FOR FIRST READINGS OF ORDINANCE NO. 02M26-4867 AND ORDINANCE NO. O2M26-4868 CALLING AN ELECTION FOR
A BALLOT MEASURE TO AMEND THE ALHAMBRA CHARTER PERTAINING TO
TERM LIMITS AND A BALLOT MEASURE BANNING DATA CENTERS, INCLUDING ASSOCIATED CEQA DETERMINATION LANGUAGE FOR EACH - F2M26-33, O2M26- 4861, 02M26-4868
At the June 22, 2026 City Council meeting a member of the public submitted for Council's consideration proposed language that could be used in two ballot measures for consideration by the voters in Alhambra. The first pertains to Council term limits and the second pertains to a ban on data centers. Council expressed interest in potentially holding a special meeting to discuss the two measures. The City Attorney's office has reviewed both measures, made some clarifying changes to the language to resolve certain ambiguities and drafted the ordinances necessary to place these on the ballot, should the Council wish to do so.
The Alhambra Charter currently provides that a Councilmember may serve three consecutive four-year terms and then must take a three-year break before running again.
At that point the Councilmember can serve another three consecutive terms before another break must be taken. This can be repeated indefinitely. The proposed language would limit a person from holding more than 5 Council terms during their lifetime. After the third consecutive term they must sit out one four-year term before running again, at which point they would be limited to two more consecutive terms. The language also was not intended to apply to terms served prior to 2027 by sitting Councilmembers. The proposed language has been modified to eliminate certain potential ambiguities that could arise in its implementation.
On June 22, 2026, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 02M26-4863 which included a ban on data centers. More specifically, the amendment includes a definition of data centers, and then lists them as prohibited in the employment zoning districts and does not list them as a permitted use in any other zone in the City. (Uses not listed as permitted are prohibited.) The proposed Ordinance would use the same definition used previously and add "Data Centers are prohibited in all zones of the City" to the end of the definition.
Recommended Action: City Council, by one motion, take the following actions:
Find that the adoption of Ordinance No. O2M26-4867 pertaining to term limits in the Alhambra Charter is not subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because the Ordinance is an activity that is excluded from the definition of a project by Public Resources Code sections 21065 and 21080 and California Code of Regulations Sections 15378(b)(5) (the "CEQA Guidelines"). The proposed Ordinance includes organizational or administrative activities of government which will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment and are exempt from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15061(b)(3).
Declare introduced for its first reading:
Ordinance No. O2M26-4867: An Ordinance of the Alhambra City Council Providing for a General Municipal Election in Said City to be Held on 4 7-14-26
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 the Alhambra City Charter Concerning Term Limits.
3. Find the adoption of Ordinance No. 02M26-4868 pertaining to a ban on data centers in the City is not subject to further CEQA review as the City previously adopted a ban via City Council Ordinance No. 02M26-4863, for which CEQA review was undertaken and a CEQA determination was made. The proposed Ordinance No. O2M26-4868 would enact the same ban with no additional environmental impacts and as such is not a new project within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 20165 and it can be seen with certainty that there will be no additional impacts not previously studied under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).
Declare introduced for its first reading:
Ordinance No. O2M26-4868: 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 to Ban Data Centers within the City of Alhambra.
5. Direct 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 ordinances; Adoption of a Resolution 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.
CONTEN SAKE TE MINUTES PER SPEAKER FORE
All items listed under the Consent Agenda are considered by the City 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.
4. ADOPTION OF THE CITY OF ALHAMBRA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACTION PLAN - F2M26-23, M2M26-116
On April 24, 2023, the City Council approved the 2023 Strategic Plan, which includes Goal Three: Create a Strong Financial Base and a Strong Economic Base (Economic Development). One of the objectives of this goal is to develop an Economic Development Action Plan. The Plan establishes a comprehensive and integrated approach to economic development that strengthens the City's economic base. On January 26, 2026, the draft Economic Development Action plan was presented to the City Council. The Council provided feedback focused on the inclusion of a vision for the Industrial Corridor. Council 5 7-14-26
highlighted the on-going efforts to connect with the local colleges especially CalState LA and East Los Angeles College and the plan's effort for encouraging additional development opportunities and growth on Valley Boulevard.
Following the City Council meeting, Staff conducted public outreach on three separate occasions in the month of February, 2026. Feedback from public outreach meetings have been incorporated in the Action Plan, which now includes a vision for the Industrial Corridor. Updates were also made to the West Valley College District to more explicitly include residents. Overall, , the Action Plan has been well received and is ready to be adopted by the City Council. It provides a strategic framework to guide the City's economic growth and resilience over the next three to five years. The Plan reflects the community's values, its collective vision for local economic resilience, and a shared understanding of a desired future.
Recommended Action: City Council adopt the Economic Development Action Plan. (M2M26-116)
5. APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT FOR THIRD PARTY ADMINISTRATION OF WORKERS COMPENSATION CLAIMS - F2M18-42, C2M26-44, M2M26-117
On July 1, 2018, the City Council authorized the City's membership in the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA) for insurance services. Under the requirements for membership the City is required to contract with a third-party administrator selected by CJPIA, Athens Administrators, to provide workers compensation claims administration services. The City's Memorandum of Coverage for the Workers Compensation Program dictates that CJPIA, "at its discretion, will choose and manage service providers necessary to fulfill its objectives; including third party claims administrators, medical management providers, defense attorneys, investigators, etc." The City previously contracted with Athens Administrators from 2023 to present and this agreement through June 30, 2029 would constitute a continuation of services agreement as required by CJPIA.
Recommended Action: City Council approve a contract with Athens Administrators, subject to final language approval by the City manager and City Attorney, to provide third party workers compensation claims administration through June 30, 2029 and through the City's membership with the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority; authorize the City nanager or her designee to execute the contract and related documents; and, direct staf o undertake the steps necessary to execute the contract and finalize Council's action (M2M26-117)
AUTHORIZE RFP: PYROTECHNIC SERVICES FOR THE ALHAMBRA FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION - F2M26-38, RFP2M26-9, M2M26-118
The City of Alhambra is seeking to establish a 3-year contract with a professional pyrotechnic operator for the City's Fourth of July Celebration. Although staff is seeking a 3-year contract, the City of Alhambra will have the option to renew the pyrotechnic services after each year, pursuant to satisfactory performance. At this time, staff recommends the City Council authorize the circulation of a Request for Proposals for pyrotechnic services. 6 7-14-26
Recommended Action: City Council authorize staff to circulate a Request for Proposals to prospective operators to provide pyrotechnic services for the Alhambra Fourth of July Celebration, with proposals due by 4:40 p.m. on August 8, 2026; and, direct staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize Council's action. (M2M26-118)
RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN AND WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY PLAN - R2M26-22, F2M11-37, M2M26-119 The California Department of Water Resources requires every urban water supplier to prepare and adopt an Urban Water management Plan (UWMP), including a Water Shortage Contingency Plan, and periodically update the Urban Water Management Plan at least once every five years, in years ending in six and one. The 2025 Urban Water Management Plan and Water Shortage Contingency Plan were prepared pursuant to the "Urban Water Management Planning Act" and the California Water Code and requires adoption by July 2026. On June 22, 2026, City Council held a Public Hearing and adopted the Urban Water Management Plan, however, the approval was supposed to be done by resolution, so the required resolution is attached for Council adoption.
Recommended Action: City Council approve Resolution R2M26-22 adopting the Urban Water Management Plan and Water Contingency Plan. (M2M26-119) NOTICE INVITING BIDS: CHILLED WATER SYSTEM UPGRADE AT THE ALHAMBRA POLICE DEPARTMENT - F2M26-39, N2M26-91
On March 24, 2025, the City Council approved a one-year contract, commencing on April 26,2025, with Total Environmental Management Service, Inc. (TEM) for a temporary cooling unit at Alhambra Police Department due to a chiller failure resulting in no cooling in the building. Said contract was extended for another twelve months in order to accommodate the time needed to conduct the due diligence study of the current Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system in the building, prepare the specifications, obtain the necessary approvals from the Building Division, solicit bids, and start the construction. The consultant who prepared the HVAC design will also provide bid support and construction oversight to the project.
Recommended Action: City Council authorize staff to issue notice inviting bids to prospective contractors for the Chilled Water System Upgrade at Alhambra Police Department, with bids due no later than 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, August 13, 2026 and opened at 11:00 a.m. that same day; and, direct staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize the Council's action.

SOUTHERN CALHORNIA
Energy for What's Ahead EDISON®
What is Reliability?
• In simplest terms:
• Having dependable electricity when you need it
• Potential interruptions to dependable service include the following:
• Maintenance outages (aka planned outages)
• Repair outages (aka unplanned outages)
• Sustained Outage = An outage lasting > 5 minutes
• Momentary Outage = An outage lasting ≤ 5 minutes
• Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS)
• Major Event Day (MED)
Major Event Day (MED): A day in which the daily system SAIDI exceeds a threshold value. For the purposes of calculating daily system SAIDI, any interruption that spans multiple calendar days is accrued to the day on which the interruption began. Statistically, days having a daily system SAIDI greater than a threshold value are days on which the energy delivery system experienced stresses beyond that normally expected (such as severe weather). MEDs are sometimes excluded in reporting; in those reports, the exclusions will be noted.
Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) : An operational protocol that SCE implements under extreme weather conditions to minimize the threat of wildfires and keep communities safe from potentially dangerous situations. These types of sustained outages are temporary and usually involve situations where high-fire areas are experiencing adverse weather or public safety is at risk.

All reliability indices represent unplanned outages - includes both MED and PSPS Outage Causes:
• 3rd Party: Outage caused by a balloon, a car hit pole, or dig-in • Operation: SCE performed urgent work due to findings in the field that resulted in the need for an outage without 3-day notice to customers • Other: The circuit was patrolled but no cause was found • Vegetation/Animal: A tree branch, rodent, or bird caused a short circuit between conductors • PSPS: Public Safety Power Shutoff
SAIDI (minutes) = the cumulative amount of time the average customer is interrupted by "sustained" (longer than 5 minutes) outages SAIFI (interruptions) = the number of times the average customer is interrupted by "sustained" outages MAIFI (interruptions) = the number of times the average customer is interrupted by "momentary" (lasting 5 minutes or less) outages Energy for What's Ahead™ 12 Reliability Histories for Individual Circuits Serving Alhambra - 1 of 11 2022 2023 2024 1st Qtr 2025 2nd Qtr 2025 3rd Qtr 2025 4th Qtr 2025 2025 SAIDI SAIFI MAIFI SAIDI SAIFI MAIFI SAID!

CITY OF ALHAMBRA
City of AGENDA REPORT
Alhambra
CITY MANAGER APPROVAL: Is sa se
DATE: July 14, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBMITTED BY: Joseph Montes, City Attorney
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF AND INTRODUCTION FOR FIRST READINGS OF ORDINANCE NO. 02M26-4867 AND ORDINANCE NO. 02M26-
4868 CALLING AN ELECTION FOR A BALLOT MEASURE TO AMEND
THE ALHAMBRA CHARTER PERTAINING TO TERM LIMITS AND A
BALLOT MEASURE BANNING DATA CENTERS, INCLUDING
ASSOCIATED CEQA DETERMINATION LANGUAGE FOR EACH
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council:
1. Find that the adoption of Ordinance No. 02M26-4867 pertaining to term limits in the Alhambra Charter is not subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because the Ordinance is an activity that is excluded from the definition of a project by Public Resources Code sections 21065 and 21080 and California Code of Regulations Sections 15378(b)(5) (the "CEQA Guidelines"). The proposed Ordinance includes organizational or administrative activities of government which will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment and are exempt from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15061(b)(3).
2. Declare introduced for its first reading:
Ordinance No. 02M26-4867: 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 to Amend the Alhambra City Charter Concerning Term Limits.
3. Find the adoption of Ordinance No. 02M26-4868 pertaining to a ban on data centers in the City is not subject to further CEQA review as the City previously adopted a ban via City Council Ordinance No. O2M26-4863, for which CEQA review was undertaken and a CEQA determination was made. The proposed Ordinance No. 02M26-4868 would enact the same ban with no additional environmental impacts and as such is not a new project within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 20165 and it can be seen with certainty that there will be no additional impacts not previously studied under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).
4932-0320-9146 v1
4. Declare introduced for its first reading:
Ordinance No. 02M26-4868: 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 to Ban Data Centers within the City of Alhambra.
BACKGROUND:
At the June 22, 2026 City Council meeting a member of the public submitted for Council's consideration proposed language that could be used in two ballot measures for consideration by the voters in Alhambra. The first pertains to Council term limits and the second pertains to a ban on data centers. Council expressed interest in potentially holding a special meeting to discuss the two measures. The City Attorney's office has reviewed both measures, made some clarifying changes to the language to resolve certain ambiguities and drafted the ordinances necessary to place these on the ballot, should the Council wish to do so.
The Term Limit Measure:
The Alhambra Charter currently provides that a Councilmember may serve three consecutive four year terms and then must take a three year break before running again. At that point the Councilmember can serve another three consecutive terms before another break must be taken.
This can be repeated indefinitely.
The proposed language would limit a person from holding more than 5 Council terms during their lifetime. After the third consecutive term they must sit out one four year term before running again, at which point they would be limited to two more consecutive terms. The language also was not intended to apply to terms served prior to 2027 by sitting Councilmembers.
The proposed language has been modified to eliminate certain potential ambiguities that could arise in its implementation. For reference, the existing language, proposed language, and clarified language are set forth below:
Existing Language:
"No person shall be a candidate for election to the office of city councilperson after having been elected to the office for three consecutive four-year terms. No person shall be a candidate for election to the office of city councilperson who has held the office for more than two years of a four-year term and has been elected to the office for the next following two four-year terms.
Nothing in this section shall prevent any person who has thereby held the office of city councilperson from being a candidate for election to the office if at least three years have elapsed since his or her last term of office has expired. This section shall not apply to any person holding the office of city councilperson on the date of its approval by the voters of the city." Proposed Language:
"No person may serve more than three consecutive elected terms of office as a Councilmember.
Following a period of hiatus of not less than four years away from that elected City Council District office, a person may serve an additional two terms in that elected District office as Councilmember. In no event shall any person serve more than five terms in the same elected office of Councilmember. Any term of elected service of two years or more shall be considered a full term for purposes of this section. The limitation on the number of elected terms shall apply 4932-0320-9146 v1
only to terms of office that begin after January 1, 2027." Clarified Language (set out in proposed ballot Ordinance No. O2M26-4867 attached hereto):
"(a) Three-term limit.
No person shall be elected to or serve more than three consecutive terms in the office of Councilmember. Service in the office of Councilmember counts toward this limit regardless of the City Council district from which the person is elected or appointed. (b) Return after a four-year hiatus.
Following a period of hiatus of not less than four years during which the person holds no office of Councilmember in any district, a person may serve an additional two terms in the office of Councilmember. No more than one such hiatus-and-return is permitted. (c) Absolute lifetime cap.
In no event shall any person serve more than five terms in the office of Councilmember, whether or not those terms are consecutive and regardless of the district from which the person is elected or appointed.
(d) What counts as a term.
Any term of service in the office of Councilmember, whether by election or by appointment, of two years or more shall be considered a full term for purposes of this section. A period of service of less than two years shall not be counted as a term. (e) Prospective application; counting of prior terms.
The limitations in this section shall apply only to terms that begin on or after January 1, 2027.
Terms that began before January 1, 2027 shall not be counted toward the limits in this section. (t) Incumbents.
This section shall not apply to any person holding the office of Councilmember on the date this section is approved by the voters of the City, and any such person shall be permitted to complete the term then being served. No term that began before January 1, 2027 shall be counted against any person under this section."
Ihe Data Center Ban Measure:
On June 22, 2026, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 02M26-4863 which included a ban on data centers. More specifically, the amendment includes a definition of data centers, and then lists them as prohibited in the employment zoning districts and does not list them as a permitted use in any other zone in the City. (Uses not listed as permitted are prohibited.) The definition used for data centers is:
Data Centers. Facilities used primarily for analyzing, processing, storing, converting, transmitting, distributing, and managing electronic data for on-site or off-site use. These facilities typically house computer, network, and telecommunication equipment, systems, servers, appliances, and other associated components related to electronic data operations. This 4932-0320-9146 v1
classification excludes data facilities that are incidental to another primary use and that are strictly for the purposes of supporting the on-site operations of the primary use.
The attached Ordinance would use the same definition and add "Data Centers are prohibited in all zones of the City" to the end of the definition.

A CEQA determination for each measure is included in the recommended action above and in the language of the ordinances to be considered by the voters.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
The costs of one November ballot measure item, based on the County's Election Estimator, are $220,118. If a second measure is added, the costs increase by $28,827 for a total of $248,945; or for a third measure, the costs increase by another $28,827 for a total of $277,772. In addition, there are other November election-related costs (estimated at $132,292) for the Office Seats.
The City Council had already approved appropriations for expenses related to the General Municipal Election in November 2026 and for costs associated with Alhambra's Local Transient Occupancy Tax for short-term vacation rentals. There are sufficient funds available in the 2025- 26 and 2026-27 Budget to cover all of the City's anticipated election costs including the two additional ballot items as referenced herein.

CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:
DATE: July 14, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBMITTED BY: Alson MaC Director on Come Dave Dineropmen w Alison MacCarley, Economic Development Specialis
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF THE CITY OF ALHAMBRA ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT ACTION PLAN
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt the Economic Development Action Plan.
BACKGROUND:
On April 24, 2023, the City Council approved the 2023 Strategic Plan, which includes Goal Three: Create a Strong Financial Base and a Strong Economic Base (Economic Development).
One of the objectives of this goal is to develop an Economic Development Action Plan. The Plan establishes a comprehensive and integrated approach to economic development that strengthens the City's economic base.
On January 26, 2026, the draft Economic Development Action Plan was presented to the City Council. The Council provided feedback focused on the inclusion of a vision for the Industrial Corridor. The Council's feedback was overall positive and supportive of the direction of the Plan.
The Council highlighted the on-going efforts to connect with the local colleges especially CalState LA and East Los Angeles College and the plan's effort for encouraging additional development opportunities and growth on Valley Boulevard. Following the City Council meeting, Staff conducted the following public outreach:
• On February 5th, Staff presented the Plan to the Alhambra Chamber of Commerce Land Use and Economic Development Committee who also provided feedback in the form of developing an industrial area vision.
• On February 18th a virtual community meeting was held. Three residents attended the meeting and did not have questions or specific feedback but expressed support for the Plan.
• On February 25th, an in-person community meeting was held at Reese Hall. Three attendees provided input. One attendee expressed a desire for more adaptive reuse of existing spaces and buildings, expanded bike and pedestrian infrastructure and amenities throughout the City, and additional retail and food establishments. Another attendee cautioned against promoting Cal State LA and expressed concern that the West Valley "College District" should not solely serve students or focus primarily on student housing. Instead, they emphasized the need for businesses that support current residents and advocated for more affordable mixed-use housing along Valley Boulevard.
The third attendee supported the Plan and similarly suggested increasing affordable housing, resident-serving businesses, and bike and pedestrian infrastructure throughout the City.
Feedback from public outreach meetings have been incorporated into the Action Plan, which now includes a vision for the Industrial Corridor. In developing the Industrial Corridor vision, outreach visits were made to businesses within the corridor to gain insight into the diverse mix of uses, including design firms, warehouses, offices, and manufacturing. The vision for this corridor is to support the continued use of in-demand properties for a range of industrial, research and development, high-tech, digital, entertainment, and creative uses that provide quality job opportunities for Alhambra residents and generate revenue for the City. The area can also thoughtfully implement infrastructure improvements to support the evolving technological needs of industrial and creative industries.
Updates were also made to the West Valley College District to more explicitly include residents.
The revised vision describes how the area can evolve into a "campus-town" environment, with adaptive reuse of buildings to accommodate a variety of housing options, as well as retail stores, cafés, restaurants, and breweries that residents can easily walk or bike to and enjoy.
Overall, the Action Plan has been well received and is ready to be adopted by the City Council.
It provides a strategic framework to guide the City's economic growth and resilience over the next three to five years. The Plan reflects the community's values, its collective vision for local economic resilience, and a shared understanding of a desired future. It aims to make Alhambra a great place to live, work, do business, and visit, while also highlighting a forward-looking vision for development across the City's five commercial districts.

OVERVIEW
Alhambra's Economic Development Action Plan provides a strategic framework to guide the City's economic growth and resiliency over the next three to five years. The Action Plan creates a vision that stems from the community's values, its collective sense of local economic resiliency, and consensus on a desired future. The guiding principles that informed and shaped the creation of the action plan are centered on making Alhambra a great place to live, work, do business, and visit. In combination with the guiding principles, the plan highlights four distinct business districts and the vision of development in those areas in the future. The plan also takes into consideration evolving demographic trends, economic indicators, and the City's unique geographic strengths.
Alhambra is experiencing changes in increased household incomes, higher education attainment, and rising interest from Millennial and Generation X residents. These trends, in combination with the City's location within the greater Los Angeles region plus the ongoing efforts to update zoning and development codes, create an opportunity for new investment and business expansion.
The strategic goals of the Action Plan are attracting and supporting businesses, expanding workforce development opportunities, deepening public-private partnerships, creating economic resiliency, and strengthening existing commercial districts. The Action Plan outlines specific action items under each goal. Implementation of the Economic Development Action Plan will foster a dynamic and diverse economy. It positions the City to support local businesses, empower the workforce with relevant skills, and adapt to future economic or environmental disruptions. This ultimately enhances the quality of life for all who live, work, and invest in Alhambra.

DOWNTOWN VISION
FAMILY FRIENDLY DESTINATION IN SAN GABRIEL
VALLEY
The Downtown Area encompasses nearly 80 acres and is bound on the north by Woodward Avenue, to the west by Third Street, to the east by Chapel Avenue, and on the south to Commonwealth Avenue. Figure 1 shows the location of the Downtown Vision area.
Current Condition: Downtown Alhambra is the cultural, civic, and commercial core of the community. The downtown current has a state- of-the-art movie theater and variety of great restaurants. Downtown has a growing arts and culture sector including one art gallery, multiple event spaces, and a makers space.
How It's Being Used: People can park their cars in any of the adjacent, free downtown parking structures and walk throughout the Main Street district.
Vision: The City views Downtown as a three-hour experience with a variety of business uses that support one another to ensure users stay for a minimum of three hours. Future development should contribute to the three-hour experience such as clothing stores, hobby stores, and bookstores as well as additional family friendly entertainment uses, art galleries, museums and other cultural institutions.
Figure 1: Downtown Area

DOWNTOWN VISION
As the area continues to thrive as
commercial core, we look to expand it also as
creative arts and culture center. The
Downtown evolves into a richer, mixed use
district where people work, live, eat, entertain,
and create. There will be a variety of
restaurants, retail stores, additional art
galleries and venues, and family friendly
entertainment that serve employees, residents,
and visitors. There will also be opportunities for
pop-up art and events which celebrate the
diversity of the City and help promote a unique
identity in the Downtown. Downtown could be
further improved as a more pedestrian-
oriented environment with broad sidewalks, Three Fields Coffse
shade trees and landscaping, and outdoor
dining that provides a gathering-place for
nearby residents and visitors.

AUTO ROW VISION
AUTO SHOPPING DESTINATION
Auto Row on West Main Street begins at Atlantic and spans almost a mile west to Poplar Avenue.
Current Condition: Alhambra Auto Row is an outdoor food mall of cars. Auto Row currently is home to ten auto dealerships that offer a variety of different price points and brands to suit every taste or price point. Due it's a proximity to Downtown, Auto Row benefits from being close to desirable amenities like dining and entertainment, allowing consumers to enjoy after or before their auto-shopping experience.
How It's Being Used: People come to Auto Row as a destination and drive dealership to dealership while shopping for or servicing cars.
Many of the dealerships have recently undergone facade upgrades to provide the highest quality car shopping experience.
Vision: The City seeks more dealerships including luxury brands and upgraded service stations that provide a one-stop shop for visitors.
Auto Row is built out with a majority of the lots being dealerships, however, there are a few remaining underutilized parcels that can be used for new dealerships. New dealerships may require property assemblage.

AUTO ROW VISION
Auto Row must continue to grow through new dealerships, especially more luxury brands such as Lexus, Audi, and Mercedes Benz in addition to brands that are not currently in Alhambra such as Subaru, Volkswagen, Ford, and Chevrolet. Auto Row could be heralded as an auto shopping destination through the San Gabriel Valley, for its various selection of dealerships from moderate to luxury brand without the pretension. The City seeks to help the dealerships on Auto Row through the formation of a formal business association or working group that allows them to provide unique marketing and branding on behalf of the district. In addition, the ernd br adito ow City could partner with Auto Row dealerships to provide labor and workforce pathways for local students in to auto tech jobs.

EAST MAIN VISION
LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD SHOPPING AREA
East Main Street begins at the end of the downtown area at East Chapel Avenue and ends at the eastern boundary of the city.
Current Conditions: East Main Street is a cozy neighborhood focused district that provides for day-to-day shopping beyond the downtown area and is characterized by many small businesses and bookended by shopping centers. East Main is divided into two "Sub-areas". East Main Commercial Sub-Area 1 spans from Chapel Avenue to Granada Avenue and is characterized by large properties, strip malls, and o Gra small shopping centers with national brands and chains. "Old Towne" Sub-Area 2 runs from Granada Avenue to the City's eastern border and is a mix of medical offices, small businesses, and cafes with limited on-site parking.
How It's Being Used: East Main Sub-Area 1 is primarily a drive and park area while "Old Towne" Sub-Area 2 has more of a pedestrian friendly experience, with sparse business activity.
Vision: The vision of Sub-Area 1 is to have more name brand stores and businesses that provide for all the shopping needs for local residents. The community envisions "Old Towne," Sub-Area 2 could become known for its eclectic artisan boutiques, restaurants, cafes, and wellness services in a charming, walkable setting. The area could offer a more relaxed atmosphere compared to downtown Alhambra, suggesting a popular destination for neighborhood shopping, dining, and community events.
Figure 3: East Main Street Commercial Sub-Area 1 is highlighted in green while East Main, "Old Towne" Sub-Area 2 is highlighted in orange ending at the City's eastern boundary. 11 CITY OF ALHAMBRA
EAST MAIN VISION
East Main Sub-Area 1: This portion of East Main features large lot sizes and due to its proximity to the Downtown, it could be developed further into a retail center with multiple big-box retailers, as well as an array of smaller retailers, restaurants, and other kinds of businesses. Current national brands include Smart & Final, 99 Ranch, Burger King, McDonalds, and UFC Gym. In addition, the large lot sizes could be attractive for appropriate mixed-use and multi-family housing to further support this corridor. "Old Towne" Sub-Area 2: Currently, the area features eclectic architecture but features several in-tact Art Deco architectural facades that could serve as inspiration for future businesses and developments to become a thriving and attractive commercial destination. Noteworthy businesses include Bun i & Burger, Salvation Army thrift store, and Cue Ball billiards.
This vision for "Old Towne" is to bring in businesses to support a more quaint, relaxed, and romantic experience. The businesses the community would like to see include, but are not limited to, bookstores, greeting cards and gift shops, bakeries, and wine bars. On street corners that have extra-wide sidewalks such as on Valencia and El Molino, there would be al-fresco outdoor dining and shopping.

VALLEY BOULEVARD VISION
COLLEGE AND ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT
Valley Boulevard spans from the western city limits for over three miles to the eastern City limits. Valley Boulevard can be further broken down into two distinct districts, the East Valley, "Entertainment District" and West Valley, "College District".
Current Conditions: The three-mile-long Valley Boulevard corridor is a successful, culturally diverse business district that encompasses a diverse mix of international and national chains, local small businesses and offices, as well as a variety of restaurants, retail, banking and service-type businesses. Several major Asian bank headquarters are located on Valley Boulevard, as well as Asian-owned and operated businesses that cater to the City's large Asian population. Valley Boulevard can be seen as two distinct districts: West Valley, "College District" and East Valley, "Entertainment District". Valley Boulevard is promoted in the City's General Plan and is envisioned as a budding
residential mixed-use corridor with active street life and entertainment uses, restaurants, and cafes.
How It's Being Used: Both portions of Valley Boulevard are dominated by car-centric movement where visitors travel directly to their destination and typically do not explore adjacent businesses.
Vision: The area was recently rezoned to allow high density residential and mixed-use developments. The bulk of housing development along this stretch take advantage of major
transportation connections. We see both districts as a regional dining and shopping destination with improved pedestrian connection.
Figure 5: West Valley Boulevard is highlighted in red while East Valley is highlighted in orange to its eastern border 13 CITY OF ALHAMBRA
VALLEY BOULEVARD VISION
East Valley, "Entertainment District": The East Valley, "Entertainment District", vision catalyzes on the development adjacent to the City of San Gabriel. This portion of the corridor lacks cohesive pedestrian experience, however, several
entertainment uses such a newly remodeled bowling alley and restaurants can enhance this portion as a vibrant, all-day destination. This area can also accommodate residential over ground-floor retail; build lifestyle centers with shared parking, plazas, and walkability. This area also features a variety of prestigious Asian cuisine and may benefit from creating food- focus uses including pop-up food/night markets or a food hall.
West Valley, "College District": West Valley Boulevard's proximity to two major high education institutions lends itself to be a "College District" to support students, faculty, and the surrounding residents.
The vision for West Valley Blvd is for the street to transform into a 'campus-town' with a variety of businesses and housing that allow students and faculty to live near campus. West Valley Boulevard would be transformed into a vibrant, pedestrian and transit- oriented area. We envision the adaptive re-use of buildings and the re-positioning of properties could transition the area from office, light industrial to a variety • of retail stores, cafes, restaurants, and breweries. Additionally, there would plentiful outside seating and plazas and pocket parks that would provide students and residents with a sense of place off campus to call their "own".
Figure 6: West Valley "College District" is highlighted in Red and the second picture is a conceptual illustration of East Valley Boulevard with active, pedestrian-oriented nodes. 14 CITY OF ALHAMBRA
INDUSTRIAL CORRIDOR VISION
Current Condition: The industrial district is comprised of approximately 370 acres of industrial zoned properties bisected by Fremont Avenue and generally bounded by Mission to the South, Main to the North, Marengo to the east and Meridian to the West. Industrial businesses play an important part in job creation and revenue generation.
How It's Being Used: This "Industrial Corridor" hosts many small- to medium-sized companies, contributing to light manufacturing, distribution, and service sectors. The district is characterized by low vacancy rates (currently at 2.6% versus national average of 8%), and is home to employers like Southern California Edison, Home Depot, Lamill Coffee Roasters, and Lucy Paris Fashion Design. In addition, the Headquarters (approximately 4,000
employees), and national commercial retail tenants such as costoo, Target, and Kohls are located.
Vision: The vision for this corridor is to provide for the continued use of in demand properties for a variety of industrial, research and development, high-tech, digital, entertainment, and creative uses that offer quality job opportunities for Alhambra residents and revenues to the City. The area can thoughtfully implement infrastructure improvements to support the evolving technological needs of industrial and creative industries.
15 CITY OF ALHAMBRA
INDUSTRIAL CORRIDOR VISION
The City desires to brand this a "industrial flex corridor" to allow for flexibility for a variety of industrial, office, art, food, and entertainment uses. The City will look for opportunities to bring in bio-tech, breweries, food production, retail, indoor and outdoor entertainment uses such as rock climbing gyms, and artisan crafters (i.e. ceramic studios, candle, and custom jewelry and fashion designers). Adaptive re-use of older industrial buildings is encouraged to potentially attract specialized uses such as film and sound studios as well. The City aims to allow the industrial flexibility corridor to continue grow with entrepreneurial and innovative businesses that can only become established under conditions available in industrial zones-relatively low rents, small spaces/lots as well as as becoming attractive to the technology incubators and start ups through a focus on infrastructure improvements. Physically, the vision includes increasing the tree canopy along public streets to create a more pleasant walkable pedestrian experience.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBMITTED BY: Mariam Ko, Director of Human Resources & Risk Management ALK SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF CONTRACT FOR THIRD PARTY ADMINISTRATION OF
WORKERS COMPENSATION CLAIMS
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council:
1. Approve a contract with Athens Administrators, subject to final language approval by the City Manager and City Attorney, to provide third party workers compensation claims administration through June 30, 2029 and through the City's membership with the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority;
2. Authorize the City Manager or her designee to execute the contract and related documents; and
3. Direct staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize Council's action.
FACTS:
On July 1, 2018, the City Council authorized the City's membership in the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA) for insurance services.
2. Under the requirements for membership, the City is required to contract with a third party administrator selected by CJPIA, Athens Administrators, to provide workers compensation claims administration services.
The City's Memorandum of Coverage for the Workers Compensation Program dictates that CJPIA, "at its discretion, will choose and manage service providers necessary to fulfill its objectives; including third party claims administrators, medical management providers, defense attorneys, investigators, etc."
The City previously contracted with Athens Administrators from 2023 to present and this agreement through June 30, 2029 would constitute a continuation of services agreement as required by CJPIA
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
There is no additional cost or impact to the Adopted Budget as the cost of the third-party workers compensation claims administration is billed to the City as a part of the City's insurance premiums as a member of the CJPIA.
