Council moves to spend $11.88 million on streets, select city facilities after workshop
Summary
After a public workshop, the Glendora City Council agreed on a one-time allocation of about $11.88 million: roughly $8.7 million for street repairs and $3.15 million for four prioritized facility projects, with staff directed to begin design and bidding this fall.
The Glendora City Council on Tuesday agreed on how to spend a one-time pool of about $11.88 million, directing city staff to advance streets and a handful of facilities into design and early procurement.
City Manager Adam Raymond told the council the package reflected council consensus from a June workshop: roughly $8.7 million would be invested in targeted street segments to raise the citywide pavement condition index by nearly three points, while about $3.15 million would fund the highest-priority work at four city facilities identified in the recent facilities assessment.
The funding is intended as a one-time injection for projects that are ready to move quickly. Raymond said staff is recommending the city allocate $3 million from the recent sale of the San Jose property into Fund 301 to seed project work and that design, engineering and bid packaging proceed with the goal of advertising in early fall and beginning construction later in 2026 and into early 2027.
Assistant Public Works Director Valerie Velasquez Montoya described how staff selected street segments by pavement condition (PCI) and readiness, prioritizing low-PCI segments and standalone projects with no near-term water-main coordination needs. She said the work would include pavement grinding/overlays and a $500,000 add for slurry seal to extend useful life on additional streets.
Council members said they wanted to keep larger, more complex projects such as the library and Public Works yard on the table for future funding and grant opportunities. Raymond and several council members reiterated that the decision not to include the library and public works yard in this one-time fund was deliberate: both facilities require significantly more money and project phasing and will be addressed in upcoming workshops.
The council directed staff to return with detailed implementation plans, quarterly status reports and options to pursue grants, land sales or debt to fund remaining facility needs.
Next steps: staff will finalize project scopes and develop bid packages over the next 60'090 days, with a tentative bidding schedule for early fall and construction planned for late 2026 into 2027.
