Alhambra council holds public hearings on water plan, $211.5 million spending limit
The Alhambra City Council convened public hearings on the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan and a proposed $211.5 million appropriation limit for the upcoming fiscal year during its June 22 meeting. The hearings were among several items on agendas across city boards in recent weeks, many of which dealt with development projects and recurring business.
City Council
Council members held public hearings on adopting the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan and setting the FY 2026-27 appropriation limit at $211,535,544. The agenda also included the annual recruitment and vacancy report, which showed 19 vacancies out of 412 authorized positions, a 4.6% vacancy rate. A presentation on the Workforce Housing Program Plan and a review of the Midwick Park/Alhambra Hills Tract Preferred Parking District rounded out the session. Meeting minutes were not yet available to confirm final votes.
Design Review Board
The Design Review Board was scheduled to act on four residential projects on June 23. Two were recommended for approval with conditions:
- 425 North Vega Street: 1,243-square-foot two-story addition to a Spanish-style home. Conditions addressed vent design and roof vent color.
- 332 South Chapel Avenue: 1,303-square-foot two-story addition with attached garage. Conditions covered balcony railing and front porch detailing.
A siding replacement at 1902 West Grand Avenue was recommended for approval without conditions. The board continued a roofing replacement at 3112 West Commonwealth Avenue, asking for design recommendations on material and color.
