Temple City Council Eyes $88,770 Phone System Contract; Animal Control Ordinance Advances

Temple City's July 7 City Council meeting covered animal control rules, a City Hall lobby renovation, and a closed-session lawsuit discussion, though minutes have not yet been published to confirm final votes. The most consequential upcoming item is a July 21 council vote on a six-year phone system upgrade contract worth up to $88,770.95.

July 7 City Council Meeting

The council agenda included the first reading of Ordinance No. 26-1089, which would revise animal control rules for potentially dangerous and vicious dogs by updating the city's adoption of Los Angeles County Code Title 10, including Chapter 10.37. A public hearing on the ordinance is scheduled for the July 21 meeting.

The council also considered several consent items:

• Approval of plans and authorization to invite bids for the City Hall Lobby Improvement Project (CIP No. P25-02).
• Temporary street closure on Golden West Avenue between Las Tunas Drive and Woodruff Avenue on August 5, 2026, for National Night Out.

A separate special meeting agenda listed a closed session on pending litigation: General Board of the Church of the Nazarene v. City of Temple City (LA Superior Court Case No. 26STCP02242). No action items were listed beyond public comment.

All July 7 items are marked "agenda only" — minutes have not yet been published, so final outcomes are not confirmed.
