Community Services Director Maricela Balderas summarized the city’s participation and reported the council previously approved a multi‑year participation and an agreement with Phoenix Decorating Company to design and build the float. Phoenix presented three concept designs to the Heritage Arts Advisory Committee, which recommended Option 1 with the addition of the “Welcome to Santa Fe Springs” sign.

Representatives from Phoenix Decorating Company described the locomotive concept as visually forward and appropriate for parade judging and spectators. Councilmembers discussed placement of the heart motif and the city sign; staff and Phoenix confirmed the client sign will appear on the camera side and that the selection includes the heart on the front of the float.

A councilmember moved to select Option 1 with the heart on the front; the motion carried unanimously. Councilmembers and Phoenix staff thanked volunteers and noted opportunities for public volunteer days when final decoration occurs.

The city will continue coordination with Phoenix Decorating Company on construction and volunteer opportunities; staff said they will return with dates for public decorating events.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Meeting - 7/1/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Santa Fe Springs council voted unanimously to select a locomotive float design (Option 1) featuring the Heritage Park heart motif for the 2026 Tournament of Roses parade; Phoenix Decorating Company will produce the float under an existing agreement.","taxTitle","Santa Fe Springs City, Los Angeles County, California","taxId",71907,"location","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":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6180674,"LA County Vector Control briefs Santa Fe Springs on dengue threat, sterile‑insect pilot and local services",80,3113000,3193000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5116991-be0dfd51ad679e235eab56964a7f8ef8&start=3113&end=3193","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5116991-be0dfd51ad679e235eab56964a7f8ef8/thumbnail_3113000.jpg","/articles/6180674/Santa-Fe-Springs-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/LA-County-Vector-Control-briefs-Santa-Fe-Springs-on-dengue-threat-sterileinsect-pilot-and-local-services","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6180674-4cc64e8d96282cad0ef3a73bbf721015/orig.mp4?Expires=1771189686&Signature=jQbH80GvfM48wI3gkxlEoOQnGvdfUYgyJrU7w3yR1E4hB-M1NTvWuBrIqr~XzFNOTHG6pYzQ4vDSAgIRGVxLcumOzVRAH0TFDoBL93CW7toThdXxXJ-yS-jvaYFFCPVHdJPgPHVibsYnpipKuCC0idkFRyrISwxB6SJwTdIOYjDlYgbqpwPENklMFCVEdiUqmuriD0bJq3h4DdZtYNuUBoUc9Dm4lDq5Y-D5PVImaxInp-6VMK6ZGl1iXMWj8b9OWLAdAPFh2yw7mVGmiE0KIOsoDANuYG3vq65mjuH3jR8giYxN7HL165coyROi2RqJgsD4tEKq5CqJq~2gZJnWnw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Suzanne Clue, general manager of the Los Angeles County Vector Control District, briefed the Santa Fe Springs City Council on mosquito‑borne disease risks and the district's services, including a pilot sterile insect technique program.

Clue said the district provides surveillance, public‑source treatment and resident response services and asked the city to promote the district’s free inspections and service request line. She noted the district is an independent special district funded by an annual assessment and said that assessment is $18.97 per property.

Clue described disease trends and control work. \"Last year, we had 14 cases of locally acquired dengue virus here in the county,\" she said, and she reported the district is tracking both locally acquired and travel‑related cases and continuing West Nile virus surveillance. She said the district mapped roughly 3,000 potential mosquito sources within Santa Fe Springs that are inspected on a regular cycle.

Among the district's newer efforts, Clue described a pilot sterile insect technique (SIT) project that sterilizes male Aedes mosquitoes with irradiation and releases them so mating produces no offspring; the pilot is currently in Sunland‑Tujunga with the goal of eventual expansion across the district if results warrant it. Clue said SIT is pesticide‑free, ecologically focused and aimed at reducing Aedes populations that can transmit dengue.

Clue also summarized less visible but continuous work the district undertakes, including treating underground storm drains, flood control channels and abandoned pools, plus black fly and bird‑carcass surveillance for West Nile virus. She encouraged the city to link to the district website, add the district's contact tab to the city site and consider running outreach messages on the city's marquee.

Councilmembers thanked Clue and noted local trustee participation and the value of the district's services.","District general manager Suzanne Clue told the council the district is seeing dengue cases and described integrated vector management, a sterile insect technique pilot and local services funded by an $18.97 annual assessment.",{"_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":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6180679,"Santa Fe Springs council calls special election for quarter‑cent sales tax after Northstar survey shows strong support",2399,5779000,8178000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5116991-be0dfd51ad679e235eab56964a7f8ef8&start=5779&end=8178","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5116991-be0dfd51ad679e235eab56964a7f8ef8/thumbnail_5779000.jpg","/articles/6180679/Santa-Fe-Springs-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Santa-Fe-Springs-council-calls-special-election-for-quartercent-sales-tax-after-Northstar-survey-shows-strong-support","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6180679-45386cce6655044b1e6d4cf5fcb8f364/orig.mp4?Expires=1771189686&Signature=OukP0z4QyycjWqZxJ2o~pm0mX1DKcP4Drbt9-737UI0bHPsc7EY9YFFx6nzM2mPOFcuY4wpr09hLcQMAFyIydxNAsxIilsStWs3rOJwhqGZcpi3XqYJ3mXjN1HlMVWybEUY6tPvHhdTW-X-PW9NbscKh9oq57SPAzJozgSc8J4OGEd1mNhFNiDxxMwGZA46xFfdd2hPF18zqMevXPDms8WkUhdksKrmOG0eCQKBWOKRx63NDqgJn8Q82qOU2ZHWuCoCpvE9CAR6F9PauqaTWCcvry0R-hZBOMGI5zmn9dljDgC~uld-53ENlSD5QIGsb-J6okZzrHNDmJfDDX595MQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Santa Fe Springs City Council voted unanimously July 1 to declare a fiscal emergency and place a proposed quarter‑cent local sales tax on the Nov. 4, 2025 special municipal election ballot.

City Manager Renee Bobadilla told the council the measure would keep locally collected funds in Santa Fe Springs rather than letting other agencies receive the quarter‑cent that became available after voter approval of Measure A. Bobadilla said the city intends to use the revenue for fire and paramedic services, parks and recreation improvements and similar priorities.

The city presented results of community outreach conducted by Northstar Alliance. Casey Garrison of Northstar said the firm collected 454 cleaned survey responses and more than 850 resident interactions. In Northstar’s first survey version, 81% of respondents said they would vote yes on a quarter‑cent sales tax; more than 91% supported using funds for fire and paramedic services, parks and police. Northstar recommended targeted communications in South Santa Fe Springs and to residents aged 50 and older.

Bobadilla and other city staff said the measure would fund expanded paramedic capacity. City staff indicated the plan would add six paramedic positions, creating two paramedic squads instead of one to improve local emergency response. The council emphasized transparency and communication with residents about how funds would be spent.

Councilmember discussion was brief. After a motion and second, the council approved the resolution calling the election and declaring a fiscal emergency. A roll call recorded Councilmember Mora, Councilmember Martin, Councilmember Rodriguez, Mayor Pro Tem Zamora and Mayor Rounds voting Aye.

The council also approved placing several related outreach and administrative steps into motion, including selecting a short ballot title and preparing an education campaign if the measure proceeds to the ballot.

The city manager said staff will coordinate with the county registrar to finalize the measure title and to begin voter education work leading up to the November election.

Votes at a glance: the council approved the measure by unanimous roll call and directed staff to proceed with outreach and election coordination. The election date is Nov. 4, 2025.","Council voted unanimously to declare a fiscal emergency and place a quarter‑cent local sales tax on the Nov. 4, 2025 ballot after a Northstar Alliance survey showed high resident support for funding parks, public safety and youth programs.","actionData","errors"]
