Agenda — 7 items

  1. COUNCILMEMBER MANUEL ACOSTACONTINUED FROM THE APRIL 21, 2026, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING: Referendum on South El Monte Measure CMDiscussion/Action: South El Monte Measure CM was on the ballot in November 2022, allowing up to three marijuana (cannabis) retail businesses. The measure received 1,336 YES votes (53.6%) and 1,156 NO votes (46.4%). Soon after, the city council approved a 1,000 foot buffer zone to protect our most vulnerable residents. The 1,000 foot buffer zone allowed four (4)potential locations for marijuana (cannabis) businesses to operate in the city of South El Monte. Since then, and after much discussion, the majority of the city council approved a jurisdictional boundary of 350 feet, which increased the number of potential marijuana (cannabis) locations in South El Monte to one-hundred four (104).It is apparent, from the hundreds of comments given during the Public Comment session of the city council meetings from residents and concerned citizens over the last year, the topic of marijuana dispensaries and related businesses in South El Monte is of high interest and concern. Therefore, the council should consider the concerns wishes of it’s South El Monte residents and place a ballot initiative to repeal and revoke Measure CM in November’s 2026 election.<br><br></li><li>City Manager’s Decision to Approve Unscheduled, Unapproved Projects<br>Discussion/Action: The city council approved a construction contract for the FY25-26 Pavement Rehabilitation Project (City Project No. 644) on September 2, 2025. The contract and the Construction Notice, issued on November 24, 2025, identifies those specific streets, including the date and time they were to be repaved. The re-pavement project was scheduled and completed between December 1 thru December 9, 2025. Allgeyer Street was not on the schedule, however, it was re-paved on December 9, 2025. The re-pavement of Allgeyer Street was approved by the city manager, and paid for with the construction contingency budget. Since Allgeyer street was not in the scope of the contractual budget or the Construction Notice, how was the decision made to solely re-pave Allgeyer Street, and not any other streets in dire need of re-paving and in the surrounding area?
