San Gabriel City Council approves public health services agreement with Los Angeles County

The City Council of San Gabriel convened on June 17, 2025, for a regular meeting focused on routine approvals and public health agreements. The meeting began with the approval of the consent calendar, which passed unanimously with a vote of 5-0, indicating no items were pulled for separate discussion.

The primary agenda item was a public hearing regarding an agreement with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health for health officer services. Assistant to the City Manager, Iliana Flores, presented the updated agreement, which aims to modernize public health services for all 85 cities in Los Angeles County, including San Gabriel. The revised contract ensures comprehensive public health services will continue at no cost to the city, with no reduction in existing services.

Flores noted that the agreement would remain effective until June 30, 2029, with automatic renewals every five years unless terminated. The council had previously introduced Ordinance 720 at a meeting on June 3, 2025, and no public comments were received following the published notice on June 5, 2025.

After the presentation, the public hearing was closed, and the council moved to discuss the agreement. A motion to approve the agreement and adopt Ordinance 720 was made and seconded, resulting in another unanimous vote of 5-0 in favor.

The meeting concluded with no further business to address, marking a successful session focused on enhancing public health services for the community.
