The West Covina City Council held a meeting on September 1, 2026, which included presentations recognizing local businesses such as George's Cafe and Lazy Dog.

A significant procurement-related discussion involved the approval of a new three-year agreement with Dell Marketing LP for Microsoft products and services, totaling approximately $747,520.

The council also discussed the status of a $7 million federal grant for traffic signal synchronization on Azusa Avenue, with plans for an upcoming update.
