Votes at a glance: Council passes multiple consent items, approves amendments and continues two items
Summary
At its Jan. 21, 2025 meeting the Los Angeles City Council approved numerous consent and amended items, held separate votes on selected items, and continued others. Several roll-call tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript.
The Los Angeles City Council on Jan. 21, 2025 carried a number of items on the published agenda, approved amendments to several items and continued a small set of matters for later consideration.
Key outcomes at a glance
- Items 16, 18, 19 and 20: approved (clerk recorded 13 ayes on the roll call during that vote).
- Item 21: called for a separate vote at the request of a councilmember; the clerk’s spoken tally was “12 ayes, 1 no.”
- Bulk consent and other items: items 2 through 13, 15, 22 through 28, 30, and 32 through 36 were opened to a roll call and the clerk announced “15 ayes.”

- Item 29 (appointment of Stephanie Graves to LAHSA commission): council called the item special for comment and approved the appointment (transcript contains a clerk tabulation entry that reads “59”; see provenance note — transcript does not provide a conventional, fully auditable yes/no breakdown for this spoken tally in the audio text).
- Item 31: was continued; the clerk and council recorded continuation to Friday, Jan. 24, 2025.
- Item 17: continued at the request of a councilmember to Feb. 29, 2025.
Procedural notes and context
Several items were called special for discussion or separate votes. Councilmembers used the “call special” procedure to isolate items 21 and 29 for separate consideration. The clerk read standard public-comment rules; five members of the public had signed up for public comment in the chamber.
Public comment did not change the outcomes of the votes recorded during the meeting. The transcript includes brief public comments on a range of issues (liquor licenses, ADA compliance and planters near a Church of Scientology property, amplified noise from Divine Savior Catholic Church, support for apprenticeship programs and restaurant emergency support), but the formal roll calls and approvals described above reflect the council’s actions on agenda items.
Ending
The council adjourned Jan. 21 after a series of approvals, a confirmation, and two continuances. Councilmembers asked staff to post amendments and referrals as ordered.
