The El Centro City Council meets Tuesday.

There will be an Adjourned Regular Meeting beginning at 12:30 p.m. The agenda for the closed session meeting shows a conference with real properties negotiators as the City is negotiating with the Imperial Valley Healthcare District on price and terms for the real property of El Centro Regional Medical Center as they move closer to integrating the operations of ECRMC and Pioneers Memorial Hospital under the IVHD.

The council is expected to convene in open session at 2:00 p.m. One agenda item is the approval of the asset transfer agreement between the City, ECRMC and Imperial Valley Medical Center. A social media post by El Centro Regional last week stated that the facility would soon be joining IVHD and to that end, IT teams from both facilities are aligning systems collectively. 

The Council will have a second reading of a revision to the City's Ordinance concerning camping provisions of the code that would permit misdemeanor charges against homeless persons who refuse services available to them.

The Council is expected to adopt the annual budget for Fiscal Year 2025-2026.
