- Item 20 (Area Planning Commissions ordinance): Council prepared the roll but did not have the 12 votes required for adoption of an ordinance; the item was continued one week. Several council members discussed the new structure of seven area planning commissions and how appeals and council involvement would work; staff explained area commissions would hear many appeals and the citywide planning commission would retain citywide policy authority.

- Item 31 (Palmdale Regional Airport report): Motion by Council Member Ruth Galanter to require LAWA to report on marketing and development at Palmdale passed, 11 ayes. (See related coverage.)

- Item 27 (Housing Authority lease at Sixth & Columbia): Lease approved and sent forthwith, recorded 11 ayes. Housing Authority staff said the lot is primarily paved with a small adjacent lawn; exact square footage was not available at the podium and was requested by Council Member Walters.

- Item 37 (Convention Center fee forgiveness): Council approved forgiving rental fees for a Census training session; vote recorded as 10 ayes.

- Item 42 (Rampart Independent Review Panel composition): Original motion to “immediately restructure” the panel was amended to “augment and supplement” the panel’s composition; the amended motion passed 10 ayes, 1 no. Council directed the inspector general to report on efforts to broaden panel membership.

- Item 48(a) and 48(c) (Closed-session settlements): Council approved settlements in closed session: $155,000 in United Services Autoville Association v. City of Los Angeles (48a) and $150,000 in Bertha Alvarez v. City of Los Angeles (48c); the roll calls showed 10 ayes on each.

Roll calls listed in the transcript for these items are recorded in the council minutes. Where roll calls recorded \"ayes\" without named tallies in the transcript, this summary follows the recorded council tabulation.

Items continued, sent forthwith or otherwise acted on in brief roll calls during the meeting are not all listed here; this summary focuses on the items with substantive discussion or standalone votes noted in the transcript.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Regular City Council - 04/25/00","oneSentenceSummary","Summary of formal votes and outcomes recorded at the Los Angeles City Council meeting, including continuation of an ordinance on area planning commissions, approval of the Palmdale report request, lease approval, action on the Rampart panel and two closed-session settlements.","taxTitle","Los Angeles City, Los Angeles County, California","taxId",4025,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6590567,"Council approves five-year lease for Housing Authority parking lot at Sixth and Columbia",240,1819000,2059000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5479106-d7f48d3475cafe3e8a91dc2a2cc29616&start=1819&end=2059","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5479106-d7f48d3475cafe3e8a91dc2a2cc29616/thumbnail_1819000.jpg","/articles/6590567/Los-Angeles-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Council-approves-five-year-lease-for-Housing-Authority-parking-lot-at-Sixth-and-Columbia","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6590567-ca639d5406a12139a4d924fb70fa777e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770436993&Signature=Q3F12sxAvu~D-tPTMD3aqYKoFjGjMtLSG1LPQWFG6cfzufvIBisxv3PaVlkZn9L3aVpcJo1wBKKHEXu2qDheGIjLTTql64jGUgodnyBqzz5ejcIY-JSFMFqwlRyhe6c6edKruUKT7vFg8Aijtc6id8lNpp0w54eXTDoiEJMtFkNRZPnkWhYxLW4bq7n0TiclltThakfaqCQDPn2Q1sNrEmmS6nyMow9SJNQyvMH1usg0mLj8nU6kPmWjC3v5AvycPQP1zfuhdWCidE~hbyzQiRitHOdfLrtKOKgTPvn8kqsWqIKGwfXo7gpm7vcEhr3F7gkUa0oEHrmsNYnH9xmoIQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Los Angeles City Council approved a five-year lease to the Housing Authority for about 13,500 square feet at Sixth and Columbia to establish a parking lot for the authority’s public-safety/security force.

Hans Klein, identified as the Housing Authority general services officer, said the property is part of the former Central Receiving Hospital and is “primarily a paved area” with a “small patch of lawn” adjacent. Klein told the council the lease would round off the number of spaces and improve driveway access. Klein could not provide an exact measurement when asked; Council Member Walters requested square‑footage details as soon as possible.

Council Member Bernsen moved reconsideration so a Housing Authority representative could answer questions; the council reconsidered and then approved the lease. The item was sent forthwith with an 11-0 recorded vote.

Council members pressed staff for clarification about the small lawn area because of local park access concerns; Klein said the lawn patch is minimal and that exact measurements would be supplied on request.","The council approved a five-year lease of a small city-owned corner lot to the Housing Authority to add parking for its public-safety/security force; council members asked for exact square footage to be provided.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6590570,"Council urges broader, faster changes to Rampart independent review panel; motion amended and approved 10-1",1612,3526000,5138000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5479106-d7f48d3475cafe3e8a91dc2a2cc29616&start=3526&end=5138","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5479106-d7f48d3475cafe3e8a91dc2a2cc29616/thumbnail_3526000.jpg","/articles/6590570/Los-Angeles-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Council-urges-broader-faster-changes-to-Rampart-independent-review-panel-motion-amended-and-approved-10-1","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6590570-3dee333a4a2636d1cecfe78970888140/orig.mp4?Expires=1770436993&Signature=PRBApmFSi0Q5Zn5hX92YtmG7zcr-rcxAI1BxuebYqlikaU6-nfvjxB0WBwnQJ2Tl2FgAfTn6Tbflmz-1eFzzj9cLWSUrffBhWkx-~NicHLCPTyM4GkzW1imios4X9pTVvc5JCPJRbnTg2gaCQCN2INoLhyC3no3MlYweISTl-bstmsSuInl0ooU8VqC-T-NJ7fhudOjbT4r9XkQ4ZoEwEwzV60QgNQsQllmM8~2tjVZEuiEFM-US6vTc2m1gYxDXQSvGdu803~7M9A1UTB50soNArKVYP6p76gVMeRu-xEHQwg1UmjB6M7Pz8S48JGqfOIOkz4kEEQHqOQ~Mky7g-Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City Council voted, 10-1, to urge the Police Commission to augment and supplement the composition of the Rampart Independent Review Panel so it better reflects the city’s racial, gender and occupational diversity.

Council Member Janice Walters introduced the motion urging immediate restructuring of the panel; opponents and some members of the public expressed concern about the panel’s original composition and its credibility. Council Member Kathleen Misakowski proposed substituting language to “supplement and augment” the panel and to route a report back through the council committee; Walters accepted the amendment to “augment and supplement” but opposed delaying the inspector general’s report through committee. After further debate, the council approved the amended motion.

Several council members argued the original panel was “monolithic” in occupation and race and said the panel needed community members and non-lawyers to provide varied life experience. Council Member Nate Holden said the public had lost confidence in the process and the panel needed to be seen as credible; Council Member Wax said the panel should include community and religious leaders and people with direct life experience of policing.

Council member Brunson and others cautioned against bypassing commission authority; Brunson urged the commission be allowed to do its work and warned against creating a new civilian oversight structure from the council dais. The amended motion was approved, recorded as 10 ayes and 1 no.

The council directed that the inspector general report on efforts to augment the panel and indicated the matter would appear in committee for follow-up within the week.","The City Council voted to urge the Police Commission to broaden the Rampart Independent Review Panel's composition to better reflect the city's diversity, amending the original language and approving the motion 10-1 after heated debate about representation.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6590576,"LA World Airports reports progress on Palmdale; supervisor's office criticizes piecemeal environmental review",1545,2499000,4044000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5479106-d7f48d3475cafe3e8a91dc2a2cc29616&start=2499&end=4044","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5479106-d7f48d3475cafe3e8a91dc2a2cc29616/thumbnail_2499000.jpg","/articles/6590576/Los-Angeles-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/LA-World-Airports-reports-progress-on-Palmdale-supervisors-office-criticizes-piecemeal-environmental-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6590576-44c92030664cca0654da9b71cf4c5079/orig.mp4?Expires=1770436993&Signature=d9c19obXv3xRmt2PHhxWixCBkpsOAZoAIQq6PjT8ScYHr4bSTDfEQY~BSTbnr0AxDwYV~joKlpYyiUZlgTr19AmyV67UStRjVleEfHjuaEoU890EDLxK-IYGxcMeRdn3gYw6RUX02bWlMYnrwqwjmF41qXWwyr5IQHkqyqO9Fv3F3BX0DJm942Z5P9HknQU74m6luihbdr3WXD9DRUo1F5cJns7zA4X-ZSgmMGx7M0ng6mVG4LLu6FJK-6V4dcTrXWY0fUI2rb9jFXv8P8yu83mjoJLHrTOH1aNVnVP4IjS-OhW3l0fFLkMJnIQBiDK7CYO8pbFvzJ3Fr1IoNGZzXw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) presented a progress report on development at Palmdale Regional Airport to the Los Angeles City Council, while a representative for Los Angeles County Supervisor Mike Antonovich urged stronger marketing and criticized LAWA's piecemeal environmental-review approach.

In a statement read to the council, a representative for Supervisor Antonovich said LAWA’s “piecemeal environmental analysis” — approving projects one at a time rather than a cumulative review — was delaying construction of a cargo ramp at Plant 42 and other expansion work. The letter argued that LAWA’s approach could delay projects and urged the agency to “develop effective plans for marketing and expanding regional air services before expanding LAX.” The representative also warned that failure to market Palmdale effectively could jeopardize work tied to the Department of Defense joint strike fighter program, a figure in the letter described as a $750,000,000,000 contract over 20 years and an economic impact on local subcontractors.

Lydia Kennard, executive director of LA World Airports, told the council LAWA had signed a cooperation agreement with the City of Palmdale and had attracted SR Technics (a Swissair subsidiary) to Palmdale as a major tenant. Kennard said the agency is “very, very proud of the progress” and described staff and consultant work in marketing and facilities planning.

Jim Ritchie, LAWA deputy executive director, and Jim Ledford, mayor of Palmdale, described a three-part working-group effort on marketing, facilities and transportation. Ritchie cited a set of near-term investments and studies: a $255,000 public-information/marketing commitment, a $68,000 cargo-facility study and a $360,000 regional airport connectivity study with SCAG. Ritchie said the existing terminal is currently capable of about 800,000 passengers annually and that LAWA has planning to expand capacity as demand grows; he said the cargo ramp under discussion would accommodate aircraft footprints about the size of two DC‑8s and that the agency is negotiating with the Air Force on approvals for joint use.

Council Member Ruth Galanter moved a request that LAWA report on marketing existing facilities at Palmdale and on plans to develop new facilities. The council approved the motion, 11 ayes.

Council members pressed LAWA on whether marketing should be focused beyond the Antelope Valley, and some members urged LAWA to pursue environmental clearance in advance — citing Ontario as a contrasting example where environmental review preceded construction. Kennard and Ledford said LAWA and the Palmdale working group plan continued marketing and coordination with the Air Force and other agencies.

The council did not adopt new policy language at the meeting beyond directing the report; council members said maps, charts and public training materials are being prepared as ordinance language and implementation details are finalized.","Los Angeles World Airports told the City Council it has new tenants and studies underway at Palmdale Regional Airport, while a representative for Supervisor Mike Antonovich criticized LAWA's project-by-project environmental approach and urged stronger marketing to attract airlines and cargo carriers.","actionData","errors"]
