On December 20 at 7:00 p.m., the City Council will be having a Special Meeting to include the City Council reorganization and installation of the 2024 Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem. We welcome the community to join us at the Special Meeting and a reception to follow in the City Hall courtyard located at 1424 Mission Street for light refreshments.

The City of South Pasadena invites the community to attend the groundbreaking and naming of a new park located at 2006 Berkshire Avenue. Dr. Solis was a long-time resident of South Pasadena and played an integral role in the City Council’s decision to purchase the Berkshire property from Caltrans to secure land for an open space in the area. She is renowned locally, in the region, the state, and nationwide for her contributions to education, accessibility, equity, and inclusion. We look forward to seeing the community at this special event!
