City council renews Glendora Village Business Improvement District assessment for FY 2025–26
Summary
At a second and final public hearing, staff recommended and the council voted 5–0 to renew the annual assessment and collection for the Glendora Village Business Improvement District for fiscal year 2025–26, continuing the BID's funded services in the village.
At a May 27 public hearing, management aide Chantal Correa presented the second and final hearing on the Glendora Village Business Improvement District (BID) assessment renewal and recommended the council adopt the resolution to levy and collect assessments for fiscal year 2025–26.
Correa explained the renewal process, saying it "begins with the bid board's review and approval of the annual plan and budget. Next is the city council adopts the resolution to intent. Followed by that, the resolution and the annual plan was mailed out and published in the San Gabriel Examiner." She summarized that after the hearing the city clerk would count any protest ballots and that if less than 50% of weighted votes were in protest, the council could adopt the levy.
No members of the public spoke during the BID hearing. After closing public testimony, the council moved to adopt the resolution. The council’s action was recorded as “Motion by mister Alawos, second by mister Thompson. Motion carries 5 to 0.” The city clerk will count protest ballots as required; staff noted the hearing concluded the public process stage prior to formal adoption steps and assessment collection.
The renewal keeps intact the BID boundary that extends to South Bennett Avenue and North Foothill Boulevard, and includes the shopping center south of Foothill, as described in the staff presentation. Correa said the BID membership had already reviewed the plan and budget and selected new BID advisory members earlier in the process; appointees for the BID advisory board are selected by BID membership rather than by the council.
Councilmembers took no additional changes to the plan at the meeting. If protest ballots meet the statutory threshold, the council may proceed to formally adopt the resolution to levy and collect. Staff recommended the council conduct the hearing and, in the absence of a majority protest, adopt the resolution and renew the assessment.
