CC SR 20250415 E - LADPH Contract CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: 04/15/2025 AGENDA REPORT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Calendar AGENDA TITLE: Consideration of a Public Health Services Contract with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: (1) Approve the Public Health Service Contract with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LADPH) to allow continued health services as codified by reference in Chapter 8.04 of the Rancho Palos Verdes Municipal Code; and (2) Authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the PSA in a form approved by the City Attorney. FISCAL IMPACT: Approving the contract has no direct fiscal impact to the City. State and Federal funding for health and human services are available to cities and the County as a whole. Those funds are directly allocated to LADPH, which utilizes the funds to provide services on behalf of the cities that contract with them. VR Amount Budgeted: N/A Additional Appropriation: N/A Account Number(s): N/A ORIGINATED BY: Catherine Jun, Deputy City Manager REVIEWED BY: Same as below APPROVED BY: Ara Mihranian, AICP, City Manager ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: A) Proposed Public Health Services Contract with LADPH (No. PH-005649) (page A-1) B) Existing Health Services Agreement with LADPH (page B-1) C) CHAPTER 8.04. - HEALTH CODE | Code of Ordinances | Rancho Palos Verdes, CA | Municode Library BACKGROUND: 1 State law allows cities to contract with a County for the provision of a Health Officer and local public health services related to ordinances of public health , sanitation, inspections, and other related functions in the City. 85 cities in Los Angeles County contract with LADPH to provide these services at no-cost, including Rancho Palos Verdes which has been under contract since the City’s incorporation in 1973 (Attachment B). The existing agreement is evergreen, unless terminated by either party and has remained unchanged since. The agreement offers the performance of all public heath services, which generally includes: • Issuance of public health permits and licenses • Public health statistics (birth and death certificates); • Communicable disease control (COVID-19, tuberculosis, hepatitis, sexually transmitted infections); • Medical and nursing services to promote maternal and child health; • Environmental health and sanitation services; • Health education programs; • Public health laboratory and testing services; • Public health nursing services; and, • Services in nutrition, chronic disease, family planning, and the social determinants affecting health. Health services is codified by reference in Chapter 8.04 of the Rancho Palos Verdes Municipal Code (RPVMC) (Attachment C). DISCUSSION: On October 22, 2024, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved an updated replacement contract and circulated it to all contracted cities for approval (Attachment A). The replacement contract allows the City to continue receiving the same services at no direct cost, but includes updated terms, legal citations and statutory references and incorporates current practices that have been ongoing but are not yet memorialized. For facilities or locations in the City that require a County-issued public health permit, the contract continues to permit the County to solely collect the required public health permit fees to fund the cost of its operations. For the administration of other public health services that do not require a public health permit, LADPH will continue to provide those services using current funding sources. Lastly, this replacement contract permits LADPH to charge a reimbursement fee to the City in two instances: (1) for inspection of a City owned or operated detention facility pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 101045; and (2) additional public health administration or inspection services that are specifically requested by the City and are either non -customary or outside of the scope of public health services under this contract. This replacement contract expires on June 30, 2029, but automatically renews every 5 years without requiring additional action by either the City or County, until either party terminates it. 2 Certain County Code references in RPVMC Chapter 8.04 may need to be updated in response to tonight’s action which, if necessary, will come back for Council consideration at a future meeting. CONCLUSION: Staff recommends City Council to approve the updated Public Hea lth Services Contract with LADPH and authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the contract in a form approved by the City Attorney. ALTERNATIVES: 1) Do not approve the proposed, replacement agreement with LADPH and request additional information from Staff. 2) Direct Staff to no longer contract with the County and assess the fiscal and logistical impacts of the City providing public health services. 3 Page 1 of 10 City of Rancho Palos Verdes – PH-005649 Contract No. PH-005649 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES CONTRACT THIS CONTRACT “Contract” is made and entered into on _______________ by and between COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES (hereafter "County") and CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES (hereafter "City") THIS PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES CONTRACT ("Contract") is made by and between the County of Los Angeles, hereinafter referred to as the "County", and the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereinafter referred to as "City."
