Alhambra City Council Tables Term Limit Ballot Measure for Further Discussion
The Alhambra City Council decided to table a proposed ballot measure regarding term limits for city council members. The council acknowledged a lack of community consensus and the need for more deliberate discussion on amending the city charter. While the measure aimed to limit council members to three consecutive terms with a four-year break before a potential return, the council agreed it was not an urgent matter and should not be rushed onto the ballot without further public input and consideration.
Alhambra to Vote on Permanent Data Center Ban in November
The Alhambra City Council voted to place a measure on the November ballot to permanently ban data centers within the city. This decision follows a community outcry and similar actions in neighboring cities. The measure aims to prevent future councils from overturning the ban and to protect the community's health, water resources, and character. The council's action codifies a previously established zoning ordinance prohibiting data centers, ensuring long-term protection through a voter-approved charter amendment.

The Alhambra City Council adopted the Alhambra Economic Development Action Plan, a vision document outlining strategies to attract businesses, activate commercial spaces, and enhance quality of life over the next three to five years. This plan is not regulatory but serves as a guide for economic development efforts, aiming to foster local businesses and community vibrancy. The plan was developed with public input and is considered a living document that can be updated.
SCE Reports on Alhambra's Power Reliability, Discusses Outage Causes and Mitigation
Southern California Edison (SCE) presented a report on the city of Alhambra's power reliability for 2025, detailing metrics like SAIDI (duration of outages) and SAIFI (frequency of outages). Alhambra's performance generally met or exceeded the SCE grid average in recent years, with a notable spike in Q1 2025 attributed to windstorms, largely categorized as 'other' due to difficulty in identifying specific causes after the event. SCE also discussed mitigation efforts for wildfires, grid hardening, and business impact from outages, while addressing council concerns about senior outreach, undergrounding, and communication during outages.
