Paula Perata, executive director of the Commission on the Status of Women, introduced the program and said the awards recognize “leadership, courage, sacrifice and philanthropy.” Commissioner Julia Wu, president of the commission, told the council the program marks the close of Women's History Month and thanked council members for continued support.

Nut graf: The Pioneer Women program is a city‑commissioned recognition that highlights long‑time volunteerism and advocacy; the 2000 honorees included residents recognized for community work ranging from neighborhood redevelopment and environmental advocacy to volunteerism and education.

Presentations during the meeting named and briefly described several honorees and their work: Sealy S. Stanford (Community Redevelopment Agency staffer, 29 years), Dorothy Green (founder of Heal the Bay and environmental advocate), Ruth Lansford (Friends of Ballona Wetlands organizer), Mary Anne Cyphers (Harbor Gateway community volunteer) and Joyce Dorsey Cockrell (videotaped tribute; centenarian musician and teacher). Council members also presented district recipients including Sharon Lowe, Barbara Eck, Flora Gill Kristoloff, Barbara Perkins, Mary Edwards, Wilma McCullough, Andrea and many others; the program included brief remarks, certificates and photographs.

Quotes on the record emphasized volunteerism and the program’s longevity: “We want to commend them today for their leadership,” Perata said; Julia Wu added that the honorees “devoted their energy and efforts to better the life for, not only women, but also the entire society.”

Ending: The Pioneer Women presentations concluded the council’s formal recognitions for the meeting; the event was celebratory and ceremonial with no policy votes tied to the awards.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Regular City Council - 03/31/00","oneSentenceSummary","The Los Angeles City Council and the city’s Commission on the Status of Women presented the annual Pioneer Women awards, honoring community volunteers, activists and civic leaders from across the city’s council districts.","taxTitle","Los Angeles City, Los Angeles County, California","taxId",4025,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6519203,"Council recognizes Stacy Jones as Port chief harbor engineer; highlights $700 million capital role",168,500000,668000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5371082-5c574d7824e48525b653a931a16d8a6f&start=500&end=668","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5371082-5c574d7824e48525b653a931a16d8a6f/thumbnail_500000.jpg","/articles/6519203/Los-Angeles-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Council-recognizes-Stacy-Jones-as-Port-chief-harbor-engineer-highlights-700-million-capital-role","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6519203-484d1550c6254dfe1ba9871f57eb5c33/orig.mp4?Expires=1771172786&Signature=fEKKVVbaMXNd~VgT92xlfUPEovCnOC9yZOTY6jF8TzpkpSDUjRBv2-3qtJ1O339Kem~8NxPXb9ISS52ZazLlL0VBSfMwgaug469rC5X9utAY45p-ON52Gv1B4a9B2SkNMSGLq~IkzNQvIdDU0GxL8t95iItFKdDsi3cxzQTwWIxkwa8ANXThIWHh36yI6b1h5RAjF0zPtQVCTibP~AohxUWqZ-6aFj88cw3WbzSbQwRNO~MnTiSetTFQjzqgJ2Q~Gs9rXWFzZPVNiP9z7xb5cZJLZd65V7nS31q-TF5exQ2kN5d5ZJhoOrxJQuV7hhnH5yc0M2jDvRFI9bprqnnY9A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Council members on the dais publicly recognized Stacy Jones following her recent appointment as chief harbor engineer at the Port of Los Angeles.

Councilwoman Ruth Galanter introduced Jones and said the new chief oversees about 199 professional, technical and clerical employees in the port’s engineering division and “planning, design and project management of marine terminals.” Larry Keller, who Galanter described as Jones’s supervisor, also praised her record and said she rose from a student engineer to manage major capital work at the port.

Nut graf: The presentation highlighted Jones’s long city career and her role overseeing major port engineering projects; the recognition was ceremonial and no separate council vote on the appointment appears on the public record in the transcript.

Speakers at the presentation noted that Jones has worked for the city 19 years, began as a student engineer, managed construction contracts and a capital budget the presentation described as about $700,000,000, and helped lead work on the near‑complete Pier 400 project. Jones spoke briefly to thank Councilwoman Galanter, Larry Keller and her family; Keller and Galanter congratulated her on the appointment.

Ending: The council presented certificates and took photographs; no policy action beyond the ceremonial recognition was recorded on the council floor.","Council members presented a recognition for Stacy Jones, a 19‑year city employee recently appointed chief harbor engineer for the Port of Los Angeles.

The councilwoman named the officers as Officer Darius Lee, Officer Randy Goddard, Officer Vicki McGee and Officer Narciso Ortiz and asked Captain Gary Williams of LAPD Pacific Division to join them at the lectern. “If it hadn't been for their quick, brave response, the apartment would have been completely engulfed in flames,” Galanter said, attributing the assessment to the fire department's report to Captain Williams and her office.

Nut graf: The council recognized a rapid emergency response by police officers who, according to city remarks on the record, entered the burning unit with handheld extinguishers and assisted with evacuations, actions the presenters said helped prevent loss of life.

According to Galanter's remarks on the record to the council, Lee and Goddard forced entry to the burning unit, advanced through a living room “completely in flames,” and operated handheld extinguishers despite heavy smoke and intense heat. Galanter said McGee and Ortiz went through the building evacuating other residents.

Captain Gary Williams, who identified himself as Pacific Division captain, told the council the department often arrives at fires before the Fire Department and praised the officers, noting that Randy Goddard also recently assisted at another fire scene. “There are thousands of officers out there every day risking their lives,” Williams said.

The presenters said the occupant and other residents were evacuated and were unharmed, and the officers were not reported injured. Certificates of commendation were given on the council floor.

Ending: The council's acknowledgement was ceremonial; no formal policy action followed from the presentation.","Councilwoman Ruth Galanter presented certificates of commendation to Officers Darius Lee, Randy Goddard, Vicki McGee and Narciso Ortiz after the officers entered a burning second‑floor apartment on March 16, extinguished flames and evacuated residents before firefighters arrived.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6519188,"Father seeking review says Rampart‑related misconduct contributed to son's conviction; requests help from council",61,7664000,7725000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5371082-5c574d7824e48525b653a931a16d8a6f&start=7664&end=7725","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5371082-5c574d7824e48525b653a931a16d8a6f/thumbnail_7664000.jpg","/articles/6519188/Los-Angeles-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Father-seeking-review-says-Rampartrelated-misconduct-contributed-to-sons-conviction-requests-help-from-council","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6519188-17e8cc498abb700b85214f377c09fd12/orig.mp4?Expires=1771172786&Signature=aq0sAgRZAhGmSjntsr9PncfD~BRXq7hN5r0159jfAb6wzj4v-8iSVhYgt8gpuMOPysigDRVUB1QeS1gLpYjZo1Q7-ogp2jWaUeWMKe7yGOryLtRcdl7mRgB-1R9hblLWRdvxNQn1KfuhKi728KDydw7fnc30Q~P37mVkhaJP1Gplq8L87eSl-3e3rJqE8RVd5JBk16MPtFECMeq7yAxNf6na0tlHGH4MnwiHI-6yFTBSpT-B2LDDmSXZtwlZ53FHutar~3GZSPgJv91LydmBblyOlQ3XcnxZljJTAGhbkxhy1li9JQtBherHHkqNpxSqWNaqqs5eRCIZu3uhotSVqQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A member of the public used the council’s public‑comment period to urge the council and District Attorney’s office to review a criminal case he says was affected by misconduct tied to the Rampart scandal.

Manuel Valle identified himself on the public record as living in Santa Barbara and said his son is incarcerated “because of Rafael Perez.” Valle said Perez was not the arresting officer in his son’s case but that Perez “took the witness from the handcuffs and put her in her car” and held her for about three hours. Valle said the witness’s name is Sonia Flores and that he received a letter from the district attorney’s office informing him he could file an appeal.

Nut graf: Valle described steps he took to seek an appeal, told the council he lacked funds initially and later retained counsel, and said a judge denied the appeal on grounds referred to in the transcript as “section 115” (as stated by Valle). He asked the council to take notice and placed a copy of his materials with council staff.

Valle’s remarks were personal testimony and allegation on the public record; the council did not make any formal ruling or request on the floor in response to the comment within the excerpted transcript.

Ending: The council clerk recorded that no other members of the public wished to speak; no council motion related to the comment is recorded in the transcript excerpt.","During public comment, Manuel Valle said his son is in prison and alleged the involvement of former LAPD officer Rafael Perez in handling a witness.

Item 1: Council recorded a motion by Councilwoman Ruth Galanter, seconded by Councilmember Holden, and the clerk reported “13 ayes.” The transcript does not include the ordinance number or a detailed description of Item 1; presenters moved the item and the council approved it.

Item 4: Councilmember Galanter moved Item 4; the roll was prepared, and the clerk announced “13 ayes.” The transcript records approval but does not include an ordinance number or bill text.

Items 6, 8 and 9: Later in the meeting the clerk tabulated votes on items 6, 8 and 9, with the clerk announcing “11 ayes” for those items. The transcript does not provide the ordinance numbers or substantive text for these items on the public record excerpt.

Item 30: Councilmember Joel Wachs moved to reconsider Item 30 at the request of the Department of Transportation to correct a storm‑drain project description. The council agreed to reconsider and then continued the matter to April 4 with no objection.

Item 7: The council continued Item 7 to April 14 by unanimous consent; the clerk recorded the continuance on the record.

Nut graf: The record shows routine approval of items on the consent/regular calendars and administrative continuances requested by city departments; the transcript does not include ordinance numbers or bill text, so the exact scope and legal text of the approved items are “not specified” in the public record excerpt.

Ending: The meeting also adopted routine requests to excuse council members from future meetings and closed with adjournments and memorials.
