South Pasadena News and Updates

If you choose to gather in celebration or demonstration, the County would like to remind you to do so safely while following LA County Public Health’s guidance for small private gatherings which aligns with the current Health Officer Order. Public Health cautions residents that attending gatherings, even small ones, are extremely risky and can easily result in increased transmission of the virus.  It only takes one to spread to everyone you live with. Avoid gathering with others you don’t live with, to protect everyone you DO live with.

As a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic and the California Safer at Home initiative, our aging population has an increased need for timely delivery services. WDACS launched a temporary delivery program called Critical Delivery Services (CDS) to deliver food and other vital items to individuals who are unable to leave their homes due to COVID-19.

On November 4, 2020, the City Council approved an urgency ordinance establishing a 45-day moratorium on evictions due to substantial remodels as an interim measure and directed staff to further study the issue and develop an ordinance establishing procedures and requirements to provide additional protections.

The Planning Commission will hold special meetings on Tuesday, November 17, 2020, at 6:30 p.m. and Thursday, November 19, 2020, at 3:00 p.m. to receive public comment regarding the moratorium for no-fault just cause evictions for substantial remodel and additional tenant protections.

The South Pasadena City Council will also conduct a public hearing during its regular meeting on Wednesday, November 18, 2020, at 7:30 p.m. to discuss a proposed urgency ordinance to establish and require additional procedures, including proof of issued building permits, for a “no fault just-cause” termination of tenancies due to substantial renovation of the unit in the City of South Pasadena.

play it safe

Recent information has indicated that covering your nose and mouth can slow the spread of COVID-19. You are asked to wear a cloth face covering over your nose and mouth when you must be in public and there are others nearby. If you are in a solitary area you do not need to wear a face covering. Wearing a cloth face covering does not eliminate the need to physically distance yourself from others and to wash your hands frequently. 

Children under the age of 2 (including infants) should not wear cloth face coverings. Those between the ages of 2 and 8 should use them but under adult supervision to ensure that the child can breathe safely and avoid choking or suffocation. Children with breathing problems should not wear a face covering

For more information on Face Coverings, visit LA County’s website
