The measure was approved after an amendment directing the City Attorney to draft an implementing ordinance; the final vote was recorded as 11 in favor and 1 opposed.

Councilmember Nate Holden introduced amendments to the original proposal, asking that subsection g be deleted and that the City Attorney prepare an ordinance to implement the pilot. Holden said the program would provide a tool for community‑based organizations and contractors to abate nuisance postings and graffiti; he described it as a proactive means of addressing sign proliferation and graffiti in commercial and industrial areas.

Operation Clean Sweep and the Department of Building and Safety described how the pilot would operate: a contractor or community‑based organization would likely be paid directly to perform abatement, and participating projects would be limited to commercial and industrial zones with solid temporary construction walls. Building and Safety said posters permitted under the pilot would not apply to residential zones. Delphia Jones of Operation Clean Sweep told the council the contractor payment structure had not been finalized but was expected to be paid directly by the applicant or promoter.

Opponents raised design and visual‑clutter concerns. Councilmember Cindy Miscikowski and others said the program effectively opens additional surfaces to advertising and urged limits; at least one councilmember proposed adding a restriction to prevent the pilot from allowing facing‑residential advertising similar to the billboard ordinance standards. Supporters said the pilot would also require contributing to graffiti‑abatement efforts in the vicinity and could reduce illegal postings on poles and walls.

Councilmember Garcetti asked whether vendors would be willing to allocate a portion of the display area for community art or nonprofit notices; vendors said they had previously donated space voluntarily to nonprofit art groups in some cases. Council discussion also addressed the geographic scope (a pilot limited to CD10) and the operational detail that the poster permit would remain an option for short‑term construction postings while this program would extend the length of permitted displays for temporary walls tied to larger projects.

The clerk recorded the vote as “11 ayes, 1 no.” The council asked the City Attorney to draft the ordinance language necessary to implement the pilot and directed participating departments to report back with program details, including community‑protection language that would limit residential impacts.

Councilmember Cindy Miscikowski moved the substitute resolution after staff and the City Attorney said the draft timeline submitted by LAFCO called for a draft fiscal analysis to be provided to the controller, while the city had requested that the controller receive the final comprehensive fiscal analysis. Miscikowski described the change as a fiscal and legal safeguard because the city will bear the cost of the controller’s review.

“We asked LAFCO to change the schedule so that the comprehensive fiscal analysis, that is the final one, is the one that goes to the controller and not a draft,” Miscikowski said while explaining the substitute motion during the meeting.

The council voted to adopt the substitute motion, chairing the roll call to a unanimous recorded vote. The clerk announced “12 ayes,” and the motion carried forthwith.

During brief public comment on the item, Jim McQuiston of the East Hollywood Community Association said the LAFCO timeline raised additional concerns about opportunities for public input and protest hearings; Miscikowski and staff noted those broader participation issues could be raised directly with LAFCO while the substitute addressed the city’s request on fiscal review timing.

The substitute resolution directs the mayor’s office to request that LAFCO alter its schedule accordingly; the council also received a letter from the City Attorney explaining the legal basis for the request. The motion was recorded in the Aug. 7 proceedings as item 37A and was adopted without recorded dissent.

The public comment period at the Aug. 7 meeting drew repeated appeals from community groups and clergy that Councilmember Jan Perry, Councilmember Mark Ridley‑Thomas and Councilmember Nate Holden be given seats on the Economic Development and Employment Committee and the Housing and Community Development Committee. “I pledge to support all the constituents that I represent, and I am seeking to allocate resources for economic development and grant funds for housing in my underserved communities,” Councilmember Jan Perry said in remarks entered into the record during public comment.

The speakers said the absence of representatives from the 8th, 9th and 10th districts effectively sidelines roughly “750,000 constituents,” a figure repeated by several speakers, and risks marginalizing neighborhoods that advocates say have the greatest need for city housing and social‑service investments. Karen Bass, executive director of the Community Coalition, called the assignments “a mistake” and said the council president should correct them, while clergy from multiple denominations urged a rapid remedy.

Council President Alex Padilla responded near the end of the public comment period, saying he had begun discussions with the affected members and welcomed further meetings. “I want you to know that I have heard you,” Padilla said, and he said conversations began the previous week with Councilmembers Perry, Holden and Ridley‑Thomas. Padilla offered to meet with community members and said he would continue talks after the meeting.

Speakers requested specific remedies: some asked that Councilman Joel Wachs (referred to in public remarks) voluntarily step down from committee slots he holds, enabling immediate appointment of representatives from the affected districts; others proposed adding members to the committees or postponing assignments pending further review. Several speakers warned that symbolic gestures alone would not suffice and asked for an explicit, public timeline for correction.

Councilmember Nick Pacheco, who said he chairs the Housing and Community Redevelopment Committee, told the public the committee has long considered projects from the affected districts and reassured speakers that “no resources are gonna be at risk.” Pacheco listed several housing projects he said had been advanced that affect South Los Angeles, and he said committee chairs had worked to move projects from those districts forward.

The meeting record shows no formal vote changing committee assignments at Tuesday’s session. Padilla said he and the council members had met and pledged to continue discussions; several speakers asked for a public follow‑up within one to two weeks. The council did not adopt specific remedial legislation or reassign seats during the Aug. 7 meeting.

Community leaders and clergy present included representatives of the Los Angeles NAACP, Faith‑based organizations, the Community Coalition and neighborhood economic development corporations. Several speakers framed their request as a matter of representational equity tied to recent charter changes and to precedent on neighborhood participation in city decision‑making.

The council’s next steps were not recorded as formal action in the Aug. 7 minutes; Padilla’s pledge to continue talks and the participants’ demand for a prompt public remedy were the principal outcomes of the day’s public comment period.

","Dozens of clergy, community leaders and residents told the Los Angeles City Council on Aug. 7 that recent committee assignments left the 8th, 9th and 10th council districts without seats on major economic-development and housing committees; Council President Alex Padilla said he had begun meetings with affected members and invited further talks.","actionData","errors"]
