At its April 15, 2025 meeting the Monrovia City Council recorded the following formal actions and roll‑call votes.
- Consent Calendar (items CC1–CC9): Approved. Councilmember Jimenez and Councilmember Spicer noted an exception for item CC8 due to an outside board affiliation; the consent calendar passed by roll call.

Outcome: approved. Roll call: Edward Belden — yes; Councilmember Jimenez — yes; Larry Spicer — yes; Mayor Pro Tem Dr. Kelly — yes; Mayor Becky Shevlin — yes.

- AR4 — Local campaign contribution limits ordinance 2025‑O4: Council introduced and read the ordinance with a local contribution limit set at $1,000; the motion passed by roll call. The ordinance amends Chapter 2.2 of the Monrovia Municipal Code to limit contributions to candidates for city elective office; it includes anti‑laundering and reimbursement prohibitions and preserves the Supreme Court precedent exemption for a candidate's personal funds.
Several agenda items were discussion‑oriented (for example, assessment district rate implementation options) and did not result in a formal council vote during the meeting.
