City Council Workshop March 24, 2026

The Glendale City Council held a workshop on March 24, 2026, primarily focused on updates and discussions related to city projects and initiatives. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to the Downtown Campus Reinvestment Project, with detailed progress reports on construction milestones, including the city hall building, amphitheater, and council chambers. The council also discussed a proposal to research digital signage and directories, specifically touch screen kiosks that could provide wayfinding and advertising in the city. Council members debated the potential benefits, costs, and aesthetic impacts of such signage, ultimately agreeing to allocate 20 hours of staff time to conduct a scoping memo to better understand the feasibility, costs, and vendor interest. Other topics included planning for a potential 2028 bond election to fund public safety projects, follow-up on a Glendale Glitters Ad Hoc Committee, and consideration of a school district event collaboration. No contract awards or specific procurement actions were taken during this workshop, but the digital signage research could lead to future procurement activity.
