Altadena Town Council Meeting: September 15, 2026

The Altadena Town Council meeting on September 15, 2026, focused on post-fire recovery, community safety, and local services. No contracts, bids, vendor selections, or purchasing approvals were identified. The council unanimously approved two letters: one urging Congress to include disaster relief for fire-affected communities in supplemental appropriations, and another asking Los Angeles County to consider a communitywide pause or limits on non-emergency Sunday construction, with exceptions for emergencies and essential work. The latter request could affect construction activity and contractors in Altadena. The treasurer’s report noted $45 in donations; no procurement spending was discussed.

The council also heard extensive public comment on the donated Flock license-plate cameras, with residents divided over their safety benefits, privacy risks, oversight, and data practices; no council action on the cameras was recorded. Other recovery-related updates included the Altadena Library’s rebuilding project, estimated at about 14 months with a hoped-for late-2027 opening, and a school facilities master-plan survey. The council also discussed a disaster preparedness fair, public safety reports, traffic and infrastructure concerns, and upcoming community events.
