Member Yorzalwsky introduced the motion to form the advisory group, saying the committee should “bring experts around Los Angeles” to help place the city on a trajectory toward fiscal stability. In Spanish during the meeting, Yorzalwsky said the advisory group is “el paso número 1 para llegar a eso, y estoy emocionada para ver que esto suceda.”

The committee’s recommendation calls for the advisory group to evaluate the city’s fiscal condition and advise the Budget and Finance Committee on measures to ensure long-term fiscal health. The motion recorded in the transcript carried by a recorded vote of 4-0 with one member absent.

The legislative-analyst staff then presented a resolution for the committee to adopt a city position regarding Assembly Bill 469, described in the transcript as a bill that “strengthen[es] penalties for impersonating first responders during a state of emergency.” The committee voted to approve the revised resolution by a recorded vote of 4-0 with one member absent.

No detailed funding plan or timeline for the advisory group was recorded in the provided transcript segments; committee members described the group’s purpose but did not specify staffing or budget allocations on the record.

The committee took the actions during the same session in which it adopted changes to council rules on public comment. The motion to form the advisory group and the resolution on AB 469 were both recorded as approved in the committee minutes included in the transcript.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Rules, Elections and Intergovernmental Relations - SAP - 4/11/25","oneSentenceSummary","The committee voted to establish a municipal finance advisory group to advise on long-term fiscal health and approved a resolution expressing a position on Assembly Bill 469, which would strengthen penalties for impersonating first responders.

The measure, described in the meeting as revisions to the council’s public-comment rules, drew several minutes of public comment both for and against before the committee voted to adopt the changes.

Why it matters: Supporters said the change is intended to make civic forums safer and more welcoming, particularly for young people, while opponents warned it could clash with the First Amendment and raise accessibility issues under federal law.

Members of the public and local educators addressed the committee during a lengthy public-comment period. Greg Ferrazy, who identified himself as a resident of South Los Angeles, said public forums must be “a place where everyone feels respected,” adding, “Queremos un medio ambiente que no es intimidante o irrespetuoso.”

Rogelio Sánchez Jr., identified in the record as a school principal, told the committee that allowing hateful language sends the wrong message to students and undermines civic engagement: “No podemos permitir eso,” he said.

Setzer Ronson, identified as an assistant principal at Birch Tech High School, said students “understand responsibility” and urged the committee to support the rule change to protect youth. Paloma Aborta, who said she works for Flying Food Group, also spoke in favor of restricting epithets so workers and community members can participate without harassment.

At the same time, a public commenter raised constitutional objections and accessibility concerns, saying the proposed changes could conflict with the First Amendment and with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. The commenter also referenced the U.S. Supreme Court decision Brandenburg v. Ohio when discussing allowable limits on speech. That person’s remarks were recorded in the public record but were not attributed to a named speaker in committee minutes.

The committee’s official action followed the public comment period. The meeting record shows the motion to adopt the rule changes carried by a 4-0 vote; one member was listed as absent. The transcript does not record a named mover or seconder for the motion in the segments provided.

The committee did not discuss enforcement procedures in detail during the recorded session; staff or counsel were not recorded presenting a formal legal analysis on the floor during the portion of the transcript provided.

The measure was adopted and will be reflected in the council’s rules as amended on the committee record.","The Los Angeles Intergovernmental Relations Committee voted to adopt changes to Council rules 7 and 63 that limit the use of offensive language at City Hall. Supporters said the change protects youth and civic participation; some public commenters argued it risks First Amendment conflicts and raised accessibility concerns under federal law.","actionData","errors"]
