Council Reconsiders and Amends Digital Kiosk Policy to Study Revenue Sharing with Districts
Summary
After a motion to reconsider, the council amended item 21 to direct staff to engage stakeholders and report on how advertising revenues from digital kiosks could be shared with council districts; the reconsideration and amended measures passed unanimously.
The Los Angeles City Council voted to reconsider Agenda Item 21 and then adopted amendments directing staff to study whether district offices can receive a share of revenue from proposed digital kiosks.
Councilmember Marolaski (recorded in the transcript as Jerovlaski) asked the council to reconsider the item and offered an amendment focused on stakeholder engagement and revenue distribution. The reconsideration motion passed on the council floor (tally announced as 15-0) and the amended item — identified in the record as motions 21A and 21B — was adopted by the council with a recorded vote of 15 in favor.
The amendments explicitly asked staff to provide a report that examines approaches for routing some kiosk-generated revenues to council districts rather than the citywide general fund, and to meet with impacted stakeholders to clarify terms and revenue-sharing mechanics. The transcript reports that the secondary motion to reconsider was seconded by Councilmember Makosker and that the amended measures were adopted.
The council treated the change as an amendment to the committee report rather than an outright replacement; the meeting record notes the clerk opened and closed the vote and announced the final tallies.
