City Council extends grant deadline, approves multiple consent items
Summary
At its April 6, 2001 meeting the Los Angeles City Council voted to extend a competitive grant deadline, approved a package of routine agenda items, and took procedural actions to reconsider a budget/advocacy item; votes were unanimous or recorded where noted.
The Los Angeles City Council on April 6, 2001 voted to extend the submission deadline for a competitive grant round and approved a series of consent and administrative items, the council president announced after roll call.
The council voted 10-0 to extend the Commission for Children, Youth and Their Families’ Phase I call for projects on the Prop K and Prop 12 funding round, moving the submission deadline to April 20, 2001, at 5 p.m. Pacific time. City Attorney staff told the council the extension was requested because the original April 4 deadline proved insufficient for applicants to prepare complete proposals.
The move to extend the deadline came at the request of Councilmember Rita Walters; Councilmember Alejandro Hernandez said he seconded the motion. The council approved the extension by roll call without recorded opposition.
Why it matters: The extension affects nonprofit and community-based applicants competing for Proposition K and Proposition 12 funds. Council and commission staff said the change is intended to give all applicants a fair opportunity to submit complete proposals.
Other formal actions and votes: The council approved a package of routine and land-use-related items during the meeting. A public convenience and necessity determination (Item 1 on the agenda) was granted following a closed public hearing; the motion to approve came from Councilmember Cindy Myszkowski and passed 10-0. Several other items on the agenda were approved without public controversy. Item 5 passed 9-1; Items 6 and 7 each passed 10-0 after public hearings were closed. A set of items numbered 8 through 13, 15, 16, 18 and 19 were approved on consent by a 10-0 vote earlier in the meeting.
In a late, procedural action the council voted to reconsider and again pass Item 6 so that both the Budget and Finance report and the intergovernmental relations (IGR) advocacy language could be reflected together; that reconsideration and passage carried 10-0.
The council president closed the meeting after customary housekeeping motions and adjournment requests.
Ending: The approvals and extension set short procedural timelines for staff and applicants; the commission and city staff said they will notify applicants of the new deadline and confirm whether any previously filed proposals wish to revise and resubmit.
