The Los Angeles City Council adopted the cityfinal budget resolution for fiscal year 20252025on May 30, 2025, approving the measure in a series of roll-call votes and an amendment.

Council President convened the meeting and opened the agenda; council members confirmed a quorum at the start of the session. Early in the meeting the council took votes on consent items identified as items 1 and 3; those passed with 10 votes in favor. Later, after public comment on the budget and related items, the council held roll-call votes on the final budget resolution (identified on the agenda as item 0.4 / item 4). That motion recorded an 11-2 vote in favor on the initial question and, after an amendment that had been circulated to members, a subsequent 13-yes vote on the amended measure.

Why it matters: the annual budget resolution sets spending priorities and authorizes the administrationto proceed with the cityoperational plan for fiscal year 2025and allocates or affirms how departments will implement council direction.
