Assistant Community Services Director Matthew Morales Stevens summarized recent changes to the RightSG program and the results of a request-for-proposals process. He said RightSG began in February 2022 as a transition from a dial-a-ride program and expanded in 2023 from a seniors-and-disabled service to a general on-demand microtransit system for anyone traveling within San Gabriel. The mobile app allows users to request pickups, book trips up to seven days in advance and track vehicles.

Changes approved earlier this year reduced the RightSG Plus service area from a five‑mile radius to a three‑mile boundary for certain purposes and lowered the age eligibility from 62 to 60. Stevens said that change, plus added vehicle service hours earlier in 2025, led to higher on-time performance and increased ridership among general passengers.

Staff reported three proposals were received after the March 2025 RFP. LAZ Parking proposed the lowest first‑year cost and operates similar microtransit and shuttle services elsewhere in Southern California, including Laguna Beach and Calabasas. Under the recommended contract LAZ would operate vehicles and, when needed, provide an after‑hours call center at a fee of $5.96 per call; the city would staff a daytime call center (proposed Monday–Friday business hours) to handle reservations and support for RightSG Plus users. Stevens said staff will reevaluate call-center costs after six months.

Council discussion covered customer-service continuity for RightSG Plus riders who rely on call-center help, vehicle types and the possibility of future fixed-route or trolley-style services, and translation and registration assistance for seniors. Councilmembers also discussed vehicle size and accessibility and the potential to add vehicles as demand grows.

A motion to authorize the city manager to execute a professional services agreement with LAZ Parking California LLC passed 5-0. Councilmembers voting yes were Mayor Denise Menchaca, Vice Mayor Chan, Councilmembers Tony Ding, Herrera Avila and Wu.

Fiscal note: Council had $858,890 allocated for RightSG in FY 2025–26 from Proposition C (not the general fund). Staff said the LAZ contract first-year amount of $817,258 results in a projected savings of $41,632. Staff added that the city will separately invoice for any after‑hours call-center charges (billed at $5.96 per call under the proposed arrangement).

Next steps: Staff will execute the agreement and coordinate a transition of operations while monitoring call-center usage and performance metrics, with a six-month review to assess call-center costs and service outcomes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Regular Meeting - June 17, 2025 - City of San Gabriel","oneSentenceSummary","Council selected LAZ Parking California LLC to operate the city's RightSG microtransit service in a contract valued at $817,258 for year one, a projected $41,632 budget savings; council also approved a model where city staff operate daytime call-center service and an external vendor covers after-hours calls; vote 5-0.","taxTitle","San Gabriel, Yuba County, California","taxId",79252,"location","California","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6554850,"San Gabriel council approves $35,461 concept-design contract for Plaza Park veterans memorial",3496,1517000,5013000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=4148090-cace41ed424ac2f592232581ffed010e&start=1517&end=5013","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/4148090-cace41ed424ac2f592232581ffed010e/thumbnail_1517000.jpg","/articles/6554850/California/San-Gabriel-council-approves-35461-concept-design-contract-for-Plaza-Park-veterans-memorial","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6554850-561132f11aa397bccea486217db62265/orig.mp4?Expires=1771180206&Signature=o11y8HpGqRK4e2apKbHBXr5kOSWe4fnh~rrX4CmU8~vfe9AP6Osd0pFuAFcatH~YnDRwLcc2Yq~x0MNNg3K1qQFt3E3UxsJw5ujtY0Zs8rT3ebORDhlPAk2y7OLTLVqevl6nv21TI8BrM60~sD14I10DwT8jTXgNnhvxSXRjdsjSODy2Xl5ma2rGzpI2VNqXQ2qmCgj3G4hMzlGg4hQ4Tq-N24mbLHtNRHO2zqJiDiFZ5i5K~KfoL9oqS3LJEFZFrnbgTuCtZo48acZQYm-Y6GdCfJ8D4d6DnpklMV6Q4WKlKJe5FkZ5HziF0M5YZtuYpBAvMoGoOUqCmd39Pwj9wQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","San Gabriel — The City Council voted Tuesday to award a contract to David Waltz Design Incorporated to produce conceptual designs for a veterans memorial at Plaza Park and to appropriate $35,461 from the city’s park development impact fees to pay for the concept-design phase.

Community Services Director Rebecca Perez told the council the city approved the Plaza Park location in July 2024 and that four landscape-architecture firms submitted proposals. Staff recommended David Waltz Design for the conceptual design phase because of the firm’s experience with veterans memorials and site-sensitive designs. The conceptual phase includes kickoff and site-analysis meetings, three community outreach sessions with the San Gabriel Veterans Memorial Coalition, and development of two concepts for council and coalition review, Perez said.

Eric Sterling of David Waltz Design told councilmembers the firm will produce two concept alternatives and, if directed, combine elements into a final concept. He said the conceptual phase will include material, color and texture options and a conceptual cost estimate; construction documents and bidding would be a separate, later contract if the council approves them.

Members of the San Gabriel Veterans Memorial Coalition addressed the council in public comment. Michael Cervantes, president of the coalition, and coalition members told the council the group has worked more than five years to advance a permanent veterans monument and thanked councilmembers for moving the project forward. Coalition members said they hope any name wall or honor wall elements will be funded by donations raised by the coalition and would be incorporated into later phases if needed.

Staff’s recommendation asked the council to: (1) approve the agreement with David Waltz Design for conceptual design, (2) authorize the city manager to execute the agreement subject to city attorney review, (3) designate two council members to serve as the primary council contacts for the planning process, and (4) adopt Resolution No. 25-28 appropriating $35,461 from park development impact fees. During discussion, the council amended recommendation No. 3 so that the full council would participate in design meetings rather than limiting that role to two members. A motion to approve the staff recommendations as amended passed 5-0.

Fiscal and next steps: The contract amount for the conceptual-design phase is $35,461, to be paid from park development impact fees and reallocated to a special project account. If the council selects a concept to move forward, staff said David Waltz or another firm would prepare construction documents and the project would then go to public bid for construction. Perez said the conceptual design is intended to be flexible so name walls or other elements could be phased in depending on coalition fundraising.

Councilmembers voting yes: Mayor Denise Menchaca, Vice Mayor Chan, Councilmembers Tony Ding, Herrera Avila and Wu.","Council awarded David Waltz Design Inc. a $35,461 contract for conceptual design of a veterans memorial at Plaza Park and appropriated $35,461 from park development impact fees; council also amended staff recommendation so full council will be involved in design meetings; vote was 5-0.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6554854,"San Gabriel council adopts updated agreement with Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, waives second reading of Ordinance 720",197,1357000,1554000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=4148090-cace41ed424ac2f592232581ffed010e&start=1357&end=1554","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/4148090-cace41ed424ac2f592232581ffed010e/thumbnail_1357000.jpg","/articles/6554854/California/San-Gabriel-council-adopts-updated-agreement-with-Los-Angeles-County-Department-of-Public-Health-waives-second-reading-of-Ordinance-720","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6554854-6258a19123798be42233eae2b50a8f9d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771180206&Signature=hG7bWywloeEwLyCfIQSBpvLg~tbgZpS5tFYZOt~SFFYqoMnvc~lKC7fVAmXi55Biug589~piRTPS6iuPP5u1N15X3TJYuQNBxlfAolMOvSiDIxPgrXZ3t3kvJTmlZQkFAAa~0RovULnfHvZOA0-17wqNcIn9r2C21mlB2BxuQTOr9H9ne9wXYumztMI7lEaNQlvqSrcnEPvc1uJwu7-iPpoaiMedvEsmxvKhe6yDEpe5zPSH6k67xI4LZ1RFSWJ0-8EJ~lPiVwFU5nuERHU9mQskcPPEcEtw3yfy00rXk~n9eRIrN2EY-y4TRrzKIYZCv3DT4bGvGaUpmuk9y1Pe~A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","San Gabriel — The San Gabriel City Council on Tuesday adopted Ordinance No. 720 and approved an updated agreement with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health that continues county-provided health officer services for the city.

The council held a public hearing, heard a staff report and then voted 5-0 to waive further reading and adopt the ordinance. The updated agreement will remain in effect through June 30, 2029, with automatic successive five‑year renewals unless terminated.

Assistant to the city manager Iliana Flores told the council that Los Angeles County had approached all 85 cities in Los Angeles County to standardize and modernize the contract language used to provide public health services to municipal partners. Flores said the revised contract “introduces updated terms and continues to provide comprehensive public health services to our cities at no cost with no deduction or elimination of existing services.” She also said a public hearing notice was published on June 5 and no public comments were received at that time.

Flores recommended the council conduct the hearing, approve the agreement with Los Angeles County for public health services, authorize the city manager to execute the agreement and adopt Ordinance No. 720 by waiving further reading. After no public comment at the meeting, a motion to approve was made, seconded and passed by a unanimous 5-0 vote.

Why it matters: The agreement keeps county health services in place for San Gabriel and updates contractual language to align with contemporary public health standards and statutory references. The multi-year term and automatic renewal provisions mean the city will remain under the county’s health officer framework through at least mid‑2029 unless the parties agree otherwise.

Council members voting yes were Mayor Denise Menchaca, Vice Mayor Chan, Councilmember Tony Ding, Councilmember Herrera Avila and Councilmember Wu.

The council record and staff report note that the agreement aligns San Gabriel with countywide public health standards and does not reduce existing services provided to the city.","City Council approved a multi-year agreement with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health and adopted Ordinance No. 720 to continue county health officer services through June 30, 2029, with automatic five‑year renewals; vote was 5-0.","actionData","errors"]
