Council approves settlement with LAUSD to resolve Warner Center dispute
Summary
The City Council approved ordinances that implement a settlement with the Los Angeles Unified School District resolving a long-running dispute over the Warner Center Specific Plan; the district agreed to dismiss its lawsuit as part of the settlement.
The council voted to adopt ordinances implementing a negotiated settlement between the City of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) over the Warner Center specific plan. City attorneys said the settlement reflects a consensus reached after months of work and would resolve a multi-year disagreement.
City staff described the package as ordinances that "constitute really the basis for the settlement," and said the school district had authorized settlement on those terms and would dismiss its lawsuit if the council adopted the ordinances. A city attorney present at the hearing summarized the recommendations and asked the council to settle and adopt the ordinances.
Council members moved and voted without further amendment; the council approved the ordinances on a roll call of 13 ayes. Later in the meeting the council reconsidered and authorized the city attorney to sign the settlement agreement and moved the item forthwith; the reconsideration vote passed 14-0. City staff indicated the measure will be sent forthwith for implementation.
