Council approvals, continuances and settlements — votes at a glance
Summary
The council approved routine minutes and resolutions, acted on multiple ordinance items, set continuances for several agenda items, and approved two settlements totaling $853,585 following executive session.
At the May 2, 2000 Los Angeles City Council meeting, the council took a mix of routine and formal actions: approving minutes and commendatory resolutions, setting continuances on several land or housing items, approving ordinance items where public hearings were closed, and approving two settlements following an executive session.
Key actions and votes recorded in the meeting:
- Approval of minutes: motion carried with unanimous voice approval (no roll call recorded). - Commendatory resolutions: approved by unanimous voice vote (no roll call recorded). - Continuances: Item 1 and item 5 were continued to May 24 at the request of council members; items 19 and 21 were continued 30 days (to June 9) and item 20 was continued one week after a motion noting an appeal and requests from the housing department (motion by Councilmember Hernandez; no objection recorded). - Ordinances and public-hearing items: Items for which public hearings had been held (items 2 through 8, with exceptions noted during the meeting) and subsequent ordinance groups were acted on with roll call tallies recorded as follows: 2–8 (excluding items already continued or referred) approved (12 ayes recorded); 9–12 approved (12 ayes recorded); 13–29 approved with exceptions called out on the record (12 ayes recorded at one roll call). Specific items called special included items 22 and 23. - Item 15 (rent/escrow matter): Following one public comment from W. F. Dean, the council prepared the roll and approved item 15 by roll call (13 ayes). - Executive session settlements: After returning from closed session the council approved a $500,000 settlement in Caraboteus et al v. City of Los Angeles (item 30a) with a roll call of 13 in favor, and approved a $353,585 settlement in D. W. Powell Construction v. City of Los Angeles (item 30b) with a recorded roll call of 12 ayes.
Clerk and council members completed roll calls as required for those items; where the record shows “no objection” or “unanimous,” the council acted without a recorded roll call. The meeting also included presentations and ceremonial adjournments in memory of several individuals; those motions were made and seconded on the record.
