Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Montebello public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Senior Center Basement Remodel moves to bid
After two failed rounds of bidding, the senior center basement finally gets rebuilt with a fitness room, computer lab, ADA restrooms, and multipurpose space. Construction could wrap by fall 2027. It's funded with Measure A and transit money, not the general fund.
Armenian Genocide Martyrs Monument and Scout House protection
Covenants will be recorded against the land to permanently protect the monument and the 75-year-old Scout House. The Scout House covenant was reassigned from Scout Troop 330 to the Lions Club so it survives even if the troop dissolves.
Park ADA Improvements
New ADA-compliant paths, ramps and concrete are coming to nearly every major city park starting Monday. This makes playgrounds, ballfields and restrooms easier to reach for wheelchair users, seniors and families with strollers.
