The La Habra City Council meeting on August 4, 2025, focused on several key community issues, including water conservation efforts, local events, and ongoing city development projects.

During the meeting, officials reiterated the importance of water conservation as California continues to face drought conditions. Residents are reminded to limit irrigation to three times a week, with restrictions on watering times and hard surface washing. The La Habra Public Works Department is available for further information on conservation practices.

Council Member Lamkin highlighted recent community engagement, noting attendance at various local events, including the La Habra Boulevard strategic planning meeting aimed at revitalizing the city’s main thoroughfare. He expressed gratitude for resident participation and emphasized the importance of community involvement in city governance.

Council Member Gomez extended condolences to Mayor Pro Tem Jose Medrano for the loss of his uncle, a respected figure in Tecate, Mexico. He also praised the La Habra Police Department for their effective handling of a recent incident and commended the successful DUI checkpoint operation.

The council discussed the positive reception of recent community events, including a back-to-school block party that provided essential supplies to local children. Approximately 900 backpacks and 600 pairs of shoes were distributed, showcasing the collaborative efforts of local organizations and churches.

Additionally, the council members acknowledged the need for improved park facilities, referencing a recent study that rated North Orange County's parks. While La Habra scored well in accessibility, there is a desire for more park space to enhance community health and well-being.

The meeting concluded with a reminder of the upcoming National Night Out event, encouraging community participation to foster relationships between residents and law enforcement.

Overall, the meeting underscored the city’s commitment to community engagement, safety, and development, while addressing pressing environmental concerns.
