Votes at a glance: Council approves multiple routine items, continues or refers others
Summary
The Los Angeles City Council approved multiple grouped items, referred and continued several matters, and recorded roll-call tallies for the meeting's major votes.
What the council did
- Approved a block of consent and calendar items: the council opened the roll and recorded 13 ayes on items 4 through 12, 14 through 26, and 28 (transcript roll call). The clerk recorded the tally as 13 ayes in that roll vote.
- Referred item 13 to the Personnel and Hiring committee. Council Member Rodriguez moved the referral and Council Member McOsker seconded.
- Continued item 3 to Tuesday, 06/24/2025, after a request (the clerk announced the continuation).
- Continued item 27 (a verbal report regarding federal immigration enforcement) for two days; the council recessed that matter into closed session for consideration of related items.
- Later in the meeting, the council voted 15 ayes to approve items 1, 2 and items 29 through 32 when those items were brought forward.
- The council considered a "special 1" motion (Rule 23) to fund LAPD overtime related to recent events. The council first adopted the findings on the special motion by roll call (14 ayes). On the final vote on special 1, the roll showed 13 ayes and 2 no votes.
- The council approved a settlement in litigation over the transit-advertising program (item 34) and requested the city attorney to prepare an ordinance rescinding the September 2022 LAMC amendments; that settlement passed 15-0 (covered in a separate article).

What the transcript does not show
The council often approves multiple items through grouped roll calls; the transcript identifies the groupings and vote tallies but not always individual roll-call votes on each item. For items referred or continued, details of committee review or rescheduling were not set in the meeting record and will be scheduled by committee staff.
Provenance: The roll-call announcements and clerk tallies are recorded in the transcript at the times when the council opened and closed the roll for each set of items.
