Diamond Bar City Council Meeting September 15, 2026

The City of Diamond Bar held its City Council meeting on September 15, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions centered on the consultant services agreement with Prince Global Solutions LLC, which provides federal lobbying and grant assistance primarily for transportation and community projects. Council members debated the value and cost-effectiveness of retaining the consultant on a $48,000 annual contract, given the city's current structural deficit and the uncertain funding prospects for major projects like the 5760 Confluence connector. The council ultimately voted 3-2 to not approve the contract renewal, citing concerns about project readiness and fiscal prudence. Other agenda items included ratification of a $1.2 million check register, approval of city council minutes, and a biennial update to the city's conflict of interest code. The meeting also featured public comments on traffic safety near local schools and discussions about facility use policies for the Windmill Room. No new contracts or capital improvement projects were approved during this session, but the debate on the consultant contract reflects ongoing challenges in securing federal funding for city infrastructure and community projects.
