Votes at a glance: key council actions May 18, 2001
Summary
The City Council handled a range of procedural and substantive items May 18, continuing three items, approving routine agenda items and passing a resolution on state campaign disclosure. Independent monitor approval is recorded in a separate article.
The Los Angeles City Council's May 18 meeting produced several procedural votes and a handful of roll-call outcomes. The list below summarizes the formal actions captured on the record during the session.
- Approval of minutes: The minutes for the prior meeting were approved "without objection." (No roll call recorded.)
- Continuances: Item 2 (request from Council District 14 / Los Angeles Housing Department) was continued to May 22 ("Item 2 is now continued"). Item 3 was continued to June 26. Item 11 (a closed-session item) was continued to May 22. These continuances were taken by unanimous consent or without objection where noted.
- Budget public hearing (Item 1): The public hearing on the mayor’s proposed budget was left open and Item 1 was continued to a special Monday meeting to take up the committee report; hearing remains open for additional speakers.
- Items 4 through 10 (regular agenda, no public hearings): Approved on the roll call as a block; the clerk announced "11 ayes" on the vote.
- Item 12 (ordinance before the council): Approved on roll call; the clerk announced "12 ayes" and the item was adopted forthwith.
- Proposition 34-related resolution (special order): The council adopted a resolution opposing a state bill amendment that could change local disclosure rules; the clerk recorded "11 ayes." The motion found the matter urgent and moved it forward after a finding that the need to act arose after agenda posting.
- Independent monitor selection (Item 13): See separate article for background; the corrected motion to approve Kroll and Public Management Resources later passed on a 9-to-3 vote and requires mayoral concurrence per the consent decree.
Details and provenance: Several of these actions were taken by unanimous consent or "without objection" (minutes, some continuances); where the clerk announced a roll-call tally, that tally is noted above. Items continued for lack of a quorum earlier in the meeting are described in the main transcript but later the council reached a quorum and proceeded to votes.
