Thank You for the Honor to Serve as Alhambra’s Mayor

By Mayor Ross J. Maza

My time as Mayor of Alhambra comes to a close this month. I want to thank you all for allowing me the tremendous honor and privilege to serve our beautiful city as your mayor for a second time.

The work performed with my council colleagues and our city staff over the past year truly makes me proud. But with everything we have accomplished over the past year, come other important goals and the hard work necessary to achieve them. I would like to thank every one of our Alhambra staff members who make up the multiple city departments. Every one of them plays a vital role in making our city what it is. From keeping our water on, our parks clean and operating, to keeping our streets safe, the work simply doesn’t stop. Since I moved to the city of Alhambra as a child in 1979, many things have changed, some for the better, others not as much; however, the planning and the goals to make Alhambra a city we are proud of are in place, and we will not stop the work until all of those short- and long-term goals are achieved. I ask that we work together as a community to show pride in the city we all love. Let’s show pride by keeping our city clean, by reporting any illegal activity around your neighborhoods, and by simply being neighborly to those around you.

As always, I invite and encourage you all to attend city council meetings, whether online or in-person. Get involved and share your thoughts of what you would like Alhambra to be. I am available to you at any time for questions, opinions, and concerns.

Thank you to all who have shown me support and encouragement during my time as mayor. Wishing you all blessings and a wonderful summer. I look forward to continuing to meet many more of you around town.
