Alhambra : Election Results Ratified
The City Council has unanimously ratified the results of the Sept. 17 special election approving construction of a new police station.
According to City Clerk Frances A. Moore, the advisory measure was approved by a margin of 3,009 to 2,075, with 21 invalid ballots. Mayor Mary Louise Bunker said that about 11.5% of the city’s 26,000 registered voters approved the proposal.
Although the measure was only advisory, the council had agreed to abide by the election results. As a result, the council also voted at its Monday meeting to proceed with a plan to create a citywide assessment district and scheduled a hearing on the matter for Oct. 10.
