San Gabriel council adopts updated agreement with Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, waives second reading of Ordinance 720
Summary
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.
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.
