City to consolidate March 7, 2017 election
|
|
The Nov. 8 presidential election is fast approaching, but last week the San Gabriel City Council made an important decision about the city's local election on March 7, 2017.
The Council voted to consolidate the General Municipal election with Los Angeles County, which will potentially hold a special election in March. This means the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk will run the city's election rather than the San Gabriel City Clerk's Department.

Emergency responders remind everyone to be prepared
|
|
|
On Thursday, Oct. 20, the San Gabriel Fire Department participated in the Great ShakeOut by conducting a rescue drill at an abandoned structure in the city.
For residents, the drill is an important reminder to ensure that they are prepared for when the "big one" hits. One important way to do that is to sign up for SG Alert to receive emergency alerts from the city. The SG Alert page also has resources on earthquake preparedness.
