City of San Dimas Regular City Council - August 11th, 2026

The City of San Dimas City Council held a regular meeting on August 11, 2026, which included presentations and discussions on regional collaboration through the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (COG), highlighting transportation, housing, sustainability projects, and funding allocations such as Measure M funds for local infrastructure improvements. The council approved moving forward with the vacation process of a public right of way along Bonita Avenue, which would relieve the city of maintenance responsibilities and provide operational benefits. A significant agenda item involved establishing fees for the city's nine public electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, proposing hourly rates of $3.50 for residents and $4 for non-residents, and authorizing a contract with Liberty Plugins for a charging station management system. The council voted 3-2 to approve this recommendation with a plan to revisit the program in 18 months to evaluate costs, subsidies, and potential private land use. Additionally, the council approved a tentative parcel map and development plan for subdividing a residential lot, including the removal of a mature oak tree with a replacement planting plan. Public comments addressed concerns about incident reporting for minors in city programs and support for local businesses. The meeting also included discussions on public safety, wildlife management, and community events. Overall, the meeting focused on infrastructure projects, procurement decisions related to EV charging management, and land use approvals.
