City Council roundup: continuances, ordinances and multiple approvals on May 16, 2001
Summary
The council processed a large set of agenda items at the May 16 meeting: several items were continued, multiple ordinances and reports were approved (many by unanimous or near-unanimous votes), and one public hearing item was approved after debate (Orpheum liquor license).
At its May 16 meeting the Los Angeles City Council handled a wide set of routine and contested items: several continuances were granted, multiple ordinances and committee reports were adopted by roll call, one liquor-license public hearing was approved (see separate story), and a closed-session settlement was approved.
Key floor actions included continuances of items 1 and 2 to July 25 and item 8 to May 23 at the request of applicants; item 12 was continued to May 22 on the request of Councilmember Brinson. Items 15 and 17 (REAP resolutions) were received and filed on the Housing Department’s advice. The council approved Planning and Land Use Management Committee items where required (item 5 approved by committee report, 11 ayes on that vote). Ordinances on items 3 and 4 were approved by roll call (12 ayes). Item 7 (a public convenience/necessity matter in Council District 7) was denied without prejudice after the applicant withdrew; Councilmember Padilla moved the denial and the roll call recorded 12 ayes. Items 9, 10, 11 and 13 were approved by roll call (12 ayes). A batch of items (14–30, excluding items already acted on) was approved on the consent portion of the agenda (roll call recorded 12 ayes for the batch acted on). Item 21, called special by Councilmember Wax, was taken up and approved (12 ayes).
The council also took up item 32 and approved it (roll call: 12 ayes) and held item 33 (independent monitor selection) for continued consideration to Friday after extended discussion. The meeting concluded after public comment and memorial adjournments.
