SUBJECT: County of Los Angeles Public Health Services Agreement Meeting Date: February 25, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution approving a new agreement with Los Angeles County for public health services.

The contract will remain in full force and effect until June 30, 2029, and may be automatically renewed for consecutive five-year terms unless either the City or the County chooses to terminate it.
As part of the agreement, the County and the County Health Officer will provide services such as issuing public health orders, enforcing quarantines, and implementing other regulations related to public health. They will also enforce public health statutes and provisions of the Los Angeles County Code within the City, consistent with their application in the County.
The City has previously adopted County Code Title 8 and Title 11, which are codified in the Commerce Municipal Code, as well as County Ordinance 97-0071.
