The transcript records the following results and procedural notes:

- Items 9 through 15, and items 17 and 18: roll call recorded with \"13 ayes.\" (Transcript roll call recorded at the time the items were considered.)

- Item 16 (called for a separate vote): roll call recorded as \"11 ayes, 2 noes.\" No further detail on member-level vote attribution appears in the transcript.

- Items 7 and 8 (voted together as a separate call): roll call recorded as \"14 ayes, 1 no.\"

- Items 1–3, 20–24, 26–31, and 33–36 (grouped): roll call recorded as \"15 ayes.\"

- Item 19 (as amended by Councilmember Gerardo and seconded): roll call recorded as \"15 ayes.\" (Amendment and motion to place the matter on the July 1 agenda were noted prior to the roll call.)

- Item 32 (amendment moved by Councilmember Padilla and seconded by Councilmember Rodriguez): roll call recorded as \"15 ayes.\" The transcript records the amendment was moved and seconded before the roll call.

Procedural notes: Several items were continued or held on the desk at the start of the meeting; some items required 10 votes for consideration (those items were noted by the clerk). The transcript shows motions, seconds and roll calls but does not provide a full member-by-member vote record for all items in the public audio excerpts.

Why it matters: The recorded tallies reflect the council's formal decisions on a range of items during the session; item-level details, ordinance numbers or final texts should be confirmed via the official council file for full legal effect.

What to check next: For authoritative details (final ordinance language, contract numbers, councilmember vote-by-vote records), consult the City Clerk's posted minutes and the official council files and recordings listed on clerk.lacity.org.

Stakeholders for and against the change gave one-minute statements during an extended public-comment period.

Supporters—including David Ikigami, president of the Little Tokyo Business Association (LTBA), and property and business owners—said the current, merchant-funded BID is underfunded and cannot sustainably provide security, cleanup and marketing. Brian Kito, president of Little Tokyo Public Safety and a property owner, said recent incidents and vandalism underscore the need for a better-funded program.

Opponents raised concerns about transparency, outreach and the assessment's impact on residents and small property owners. Rosalyn Kawahira, a Little Tokyo homeowner and resident, said a new property assessment would impose an “additional assessment onto residents” during a time of inflation and financial strain. Community organizers warned that property-based BIDs can accelerate displacement if not governed with strong community safeguards.

The council did not vote on the conversion during this meeting. The City Clerk announced that the public hearing was closed, and that the tabulation of ballots would occur in Room 223 of City Hall immediately following the hearing and would be publicly livestreamed; the public announcement of the tabulation is scheduled for July 1, 2025. The clerk directed members of the public to clerk.lacity.org/bids for livestream access and details.

Why it matters: Converting to a property-based BID would change who pays assessments (shifting more cost to property owners) and could increase the district's budget for security, maintenance and marketing. Supporters say the change will ensure consistent funding; opponents say outreach and governance gaps risk burdening residents and accelerating displacement.

Next steps: Ballots will be counted at a publicly announced tabulation; the transcript does not record the ballot result or a council vote on adopting the conversion at this meeting.

","After more than two hours of public testimony for and against converting Little Tokyo's merchant-based business improvement district to a property-based assessment, the council closed the hearing and the City Clerk scheduled a public tabulation of ballots in Room 223 on July 1, 2025.",{"_33":86,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":87,"_41":88,"_43":89,"_45":90,"_46":91,"_48":92,"_50":93,"_52":94,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":95,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":96,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":55,"_72":55},6524291,"Speakers urge city to execute Stay Housed LA contract before June 30, warn tenant services at risk",1759,1561000,3320000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3858977-3f0d9f3a93114f60157c55595918ca98&start=1561&end=3320","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3858977-3f0d9f3a93114f60157c55595918ca98/thumbnail_1561000.jpg","/articles/6524291/Los-Angeles-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Speakers-urge-city-to-execute-Stay-Housed-LA-contract-before-June-30-warn-tenant-services-at-risk","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6524291-42c9742405d5e85620e0e698c7d203b2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771193528&Signature=kcOoM8yb8dDtkXl9ocYQUWpL6FYRpCSQ~LprSInZX2ArIQHz3DU8EaJ1CKE8wxU94SysMSs5Ikz96BoZNV~ExH0UFVvR2aSHJTjCyn9xtpFon7BZFIedN12zvhsz0h-nR7Q9ja-P6D7WkwSYo~yRePd8cdVru5-dU3HkEveJBAA6hKdsJOr0ZubC~mdBIo5xOtrAdZ6A2W3qTfmdqt4iWh2aQGCB8k1CVUPzWg-voQGxeqqZOplqetkdqSb4Xbl3UL3E4Au-nzzQWvxCsSL8ycRLhuFoPmzHeTzaLUQIYl0fo-i~YKTj99J4b4euKSkNbUiGHhjHkvOOmKG8x~nDHA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Community advocates, legal-service providers and labor representatives used the council's public-comment period to press the Los Angeles City Council to direct the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD) to execute the Stay Housed LA contract the council approved on April 25 and the mayor signed May 1.

Nicholas Gardner of United Teachers Los Angeles opened the line of speakers, calling the contract \"vital services to tenants across the city\" that \"keep people in their homes.\" Veronica Robles, a tenant advocate, and multiple legal-service providers said the contract's delay threatens eviction defense, rental assistance and know-your-rights education for renters.

Advocates said the contract is time-sensitive: they said the current contracts and funding run out June 30 and that organizations have already hired staff and begun service plans assuming the new five-year agreement would be executed. Sylvia Argueta, identified in public comment as executive director of the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles (LAFLA), said the network of programs relies on the approved contract and warned that losing the funding now would “devastate not only the organizations, but the communities we serve.”

Speakers gave specific data about program scale. Public testimony said Stay Housed LA has helped more than 4,200 tenants and distributed about $9.5 million in rental aid; LAFLA representatives also said their work had produced roughly $41 million in economic benefits to tenants and the city and that the organizations had hired roughly 60 legal staff and 15 community-based staff in anticipation of the agreement.

Multiple callers said the city attorney's office is responsible only for approving contracts \"as to form,\" and urged council to use existing emergency authorities and Measure ULA funding to ensure the contract is executed without further delay. Barbara Schultz, director of housing justice for LAFLA and Stay Housed LA, told the council that if the city cannot get the city attorney's sign-off, the body could consider emergency provisions that would keep services active.

Council members took the public comments under advisement during the meeting; the transcript does not record a formal vote or immediate directive on execution of the Stay Housed LA contract during this session.

Why it matters: Stay Housed LA funds a network of tenant legal aid, rental assistance and community outreach that speakers said is a frontline defense against evictions and rising homelessness. Providers warned that a lapse in execution could interrupt assistance to thousands of tenants and jeopardize multiple nonprofit jobs.

What the transcript shows next: Councilmembers and staff acknowledged the public comments and continued with the agenda; no final execution order for the contract appears in the meeting record.

","Tenants, legal-service providers and unions urged the Los Angeles City Council to direct the Housing Department to execute the Stay Housed LA contract that the council approved April 25, saying the contract—signed by the mayor but not yet executed—will lapse on June 30 and could disrupt eviction defense, rental assistance and jobs.","actionData","errors"]
