At the City Council meeting on the evening of Tuesday, March 11, Item 14A called for, “Approval of Public Health Services Contract with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.”
“The new contract will become effective upon execution and continue in effect through June 30, 2029, subject to automatic renewal for periods of five years unless the city of Gardena or County terminates the contract,” reads the staff note. “The proposed contract will supersede entirely the former contract. The new contract ensures that the City remains compliant with state law and maintains access to essential public health services under the authority of the County’s Health Officer.”
That passed unanimously in the absence of Mayor Tasha Cerda, as did Item 16A: “Award Engineering Design Services Contract to Kreuzer Consulting Group in the amount of $214,535 for the following eight (8) Street Improvement Projects, JN 526 & 548: – Normandie Avenue (from Artesia Boulevard to 177th Street), Cassidy Street (from Normandie Avenue to Vermont Avenue), Vermont Avenue (from 177th Street (Flood Channel) to 182nd Street), 132nd Street (from Wilton Place to Western Avenue), 135th Street (from Western Avenue to Budlong Avenue), Marine Avenue (from Western Avenue to Vermont Avenue), 145th Street (from Gramercy Place to Western Avenue), [and] 166th Street (from Western Avenue to Normandie Avenue).”
16B was another contract authorization: “Authorize the Contract Renewal Services with Nobel Systems, Inc. in the amount of $95,700 for Geographic Information System (GIS) Hosting Services for a Three- Year Term,” as was 18A: “Approve Award of Contract for the Purchase of Automated Passenger Counter System Software for a Contract Amount of $200,931 and a Program Total of $241,118.”
All passed unanimously.
