The City Council of Glendora held a meeting on July 14, 2026, which included several procurement-related discussions and contract approvals. Key procurement actions included the award of a construction contract to All American Asphalt for the Lone Hill Avenue Street Rehabilitation Project, with a contract value of approximately $1.7 million funded through transportation and Prop C funds. The council also approved a new five-year agreement with Parking Concepts Inc. for the operation and maintenance of Glendora's Dial-A-Ride and public transit shuttle services, with a contract amount not to exceed $8.75 million. Additionally, the council conducted a public hearing on proposed solid waste and recycling rate adjustments related to the franchise agreement with Athens Services, ultimately approving the rate schedule despite public concerns about transparency and cost. The meeting also featured a fiscal impact analysis and discussion regarding the annexation of unincorporated islands within the city, with the council directing staff to proceed with annexation of select areas while excluding others due to cost concerns. Public comments addressed issues such as small business tax relief, library funding, deferred maintenance of city facilities, and concerns about trash service rates and environmental health.
