* The 2025 Pavement Management Program (PMP) determined Citywide average PCI to be 63.2. The Citywide PCI After Segment Improvement is an estimate factoring in proposed segment improvement, streets improved and/or those programmed to be improved prior to the end of 2027, and continued deterioration of the overall street network. The estimate does not include the City’s annual Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation (RMRA) funded slurry seal program. Once the FY 2026-2027 slurry seal streets are identified, the annual slurry seal program is expected to further positively impact the Citywide PCI by approximately 0.6 to 0.9 PCI points, depending on the final street segments selected, existing PCI conditions, bid pricing and square footage treated.

Scope of tonight's decision: Allocation of $8–$12 million in one-time funds, directed to streets and existing City facilities. Per prior City Council direction, the Library and Public Works Yard are not part of this discussion; they are the focus of Workshop 2.

Where Glendora Stands Today
Stability restored
Organizational modernization, Measures
E & Z, and pension restructuring
eliminated a $3.5–$4M deficit and earned
a AAA bond rating.
Needs remain
Significant facility, street, and
infrastructure needs persist — well
documented through years of studies and
assessments.
A rare opportunity
Fiscal prudence created one-time funding
capacity to address a meaningful share of
those needs — without a new tax.

“Upscale Suburb Warned Its Beauty Is Only Skin Deep”
“
It's a fairly well-to-do suburb with multimilliondollar mansions in the foothills and a bustling commercial center, but Glendora's
infrastructure is crumbling, and the city
cannot afford repairs.
— Los Angeles Times, July 5, 2002
~$100M in repairs identified for the cityowned water system $22M more needed for City streets
$15.6M total in reserve — the City could
not afford the work
“The sewer pipes are collapsing, the water pipes are collapsing… nothing's being done. This isn't Watts, this is Glendora.” — former councilman, 2002 CityofGlendora.gov 8
T H E S A M E N E E D S — A D I F F E R E N T P O S I T I O N T O A C T F R O M What Has Changed Since 2002
Then — 2002
An auditor identified ~$122M in water and
street needs the City could not afford.
Just $15.6M in reserve; a $4M water fund.
Officials “long aware” of the problems but
“unwilling to act.”
Statewide, infrastructure spending had fallen
75% since the 1960s.
Now — 2026
A $3.5–$4M structural deficit eliminated; a
AAA bond rating earned.
Voter-approved Measures E & Z plus pension
restructuring stabilized finances.
Organizational modernization (2019–21)
freed ~$2M/year for reinvestment.
For the first time in a generation, the City can
fund $8–$12M of needs now.

Organizational Modernization, 2019–2021
Since 2018, the City restructured departments, centralized functions, outsourced landscape maintenance, and created a dedicated Facilities Division. These reforms didn't just balance the budget — they generated recurring savings the City Council deliberately reinvested into public safety, streets, parks, and facilities.

~$2M: facilities from $350K to $1.4M, and street
preservation from $15K to $1M.
A Stable Workforce
All bargaining units settled through 2028; ~15
“boomerang” employees returned, citing culture
change and professional management.

The Decision Before You
S E C T I O N T H R E E
Fiscal discipline created a one-time opportunity. The question for City Council is how to direct it toward the community's most enduring priorities.

Priorities and cost-sensitivity, together
Residents consistently rank streets and infrastructure as the top quality-of-life priority, and view aging facilities as well beyond their service life, favoring basic repairs, safety, and code compliance.
At the same time, “taxes are already too high” was the leading reason residents hesitated on a bond measure (53% support; below the two-thirds threshold). This is exactly why one-time funding fits this moment: it addresses the community's most enduring priorities without a new tax burden.

City Facilities

A N E W O P E R A T I N G M O D E L F O R F A C I L I T Y M A I N T E N A N C E From Reactive to Planned
The Old Way
Largely reactive — the City fixed what broke,
when it broke.
No dedicated maintenance team and no
structured work plan.
Deferred maintenance accumulated quietly
for decades.
Costs escalated as small problems grew into
major failures.
The New Way
A dedicated Facilities Division: a Supervisor,
a Lead, and Maintenance Workers.
~75% of the team's time directed to
assessment-identified priorities.
Flexibility retained for urgent safety, code,
and operational needs.
Created and staffed entirely through
reinvested efficiency savings.

T H E H E A D L I N E O F T H E S T R E E T S S T O R Y We Finally Flattened the Curve
Holding the line is the
win
PCI fell to 59 in 2018 — the low
point before reinvestment.
Recent arterial investment lifted
the network back into “Fair” and
has held it there.
Without that work, the network
would have slid into the “Poor”
range.

D I R E C T R E S U L T O F R E I N V E S T E D M O D E R N I Z A T I O N S A V I N G S We Put Real Money Behind It
Annual preventative street maintenance grew from $15,000 in 2018 to $1,000,000 today — a deliberate policy to preserve good streets before they fail.
CityofGlendora.gov 28
T H E E C O N O M I C S O F P A V E M E N T
Why We Treat Good Streets First
$1 : $6–10
Every $1 spent early on preservation
avoids $6–$10 in reconstruction once
a street fails.
“Good streets are the cheapest to
preserve and provide the highest
return on investment.”
CityofGlendora.gov 29
A C O O R D I N A T E D I N F R A S T R U C T U R E A P P R O A C H Proposed Street Segments
How segments were selected
Coordinate with water work
Combine street and water projects so mains are replaced before paving — never cut into new pavement.
Address low-PCI streets
Treat deteriorating segments before they slide further and require costly reconstruction.
Prioritize major corridors
Route 66, Grand Avenue, and Valley Center Avenue serve
residents, businesses, commuters, and visitors citywide.
Standalone-ready segments
Streets with no near-term water work are the best candidates for immediate paving.
~$18.175M
in total street options — intentionally larger than
the $8–$12M range, to give City Council a full
menu to choose from.
Why Citywide PCI barely moves
Even meaningful corridor investments touch only
a fraction of 163.4 miles and 30.6M sq. ft. The
rest of the network keeps aging — so sustained
annual funding, not one-time projects alone, is
what raises the Citywide score.
CityofGlendora.gov 30
A N D Y E T — I T I S S T I L L N O T E N O U G H
The Gap Still to Bridge
$3M annual shortfall between current funding
($5.4M) and the $8.4M needed to reach PCI
67–70.
53% of the network — 86.6 miles — now requires
overlay or reconstruction.
7 yrs of sustained $8.4M/year investment needed to
move from “Fair” to “Good.”

P R E L I M I N A R Y P R O J E C T O P T I O N S — T H E A L L O C A T I O N Q U E S T I O N How Should $8–$12M Be Allocated?
Streets & Roads
A preliminary menu of street segments totaling
~$18.175M — selected by PCI, community
benefit, project readiness, and coordination with
planned water work.
Additional allocation toward slurry seal project.
City Facilities
~$10.5M of FCA-recommended maintenance for
2026–2030 across City Hall, La Fetra, Finkbiner,
the Teen Center, and other sites.
Not part of this decision: Consistent with City Council direction, one-time funds will not be used for the Library or Public Works Yard. Those projects — with their own phasing and long-term funding implications — are the focus of Workshop 2.

Fiscal Impact & Environmental Determination
Fiscal Impact
There is no immediate fiscal impact from receiving this report or participating in Workshop 1. Future City Council direction on the use of one-time funds will require fiscal analysis based on the amount, source, timing, and purpose of the funding.
Environmental Determination
This workshop and report are not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) — the action consists of receiving information, discussing priorities, and providing direction. Any future project approvals will be evaluated for environmental review as required.
Next steps: Following Council direction, staff will refine project scopes and cost estimates, confirm utility coordination and sequencing, identify funding sources, and return with the necessary budget, CIP, or projectspecific actions.
