Votes at a glance: council approves multiple consent and agenda items, holds and later adopts one ordinance
Summary
The council approved multiple consent items, recorded procedural votes including a recusal, held and then adopted an ordinance following reconsideration, and approved a package of items that had been open for public comment.
The Los Angeles City Council recorded several procedural and substantive votes during Wednesday’s meeting; the most notable outcomes were adoption of resolutions to authorize eminent domain for LAX (item 1), approval of bundles of consent items, a formal recusal, and the council’s consideration and later adoption of an ordinance after reconsideration.
Key recorded votes
- Items 2–5, 7, 8, 10–16 and 17: The clerk announced these items were before the council and the roll was opened and closed with the result read as "10 ayes." (Clerk proceedings reported earlier in the meeting.)
- Item 16 (ordinance): The council first held the ordinance for second consideration, then, after a motion to reconsider, the item was reconsidered and adopted. The record shows the ordinance was adopted with 13 ayes after reconsideration and sent forthwith.
- Item 6: Councilmember Price recused himself from consideration of item 6 because of a potential conflict; the roll was opened, closed and the recorded result read "2 ayes." The record notes Price left the room for the vote.
- Items 18–22: The council voted on items 18 through 22 and the clerk announced "14 ayes." These items had been listed on the agenda as open for public comment (item descriptions available in the council file). Items 18–21 included rent escrow (REAP) related matters; item 22 supplemented community outreach and engagement funding (detailed descriptions were in the file and public comment addressed those items).
- Item 1 (eminent domain resolutions for LAX ATMP): Following a public hearing and presentations, the council adopted ordinances authorizing commencement of condemnation proceedings — recorded vote: 14 ayes.
Other procedural actions
- Item 24 (closed session) was continued to June 6, 2025 (as requested on the record).
Where the public record did not supply detailed descriptions of motions or individual vote-by-name tallies, this summary marks those fields as not specified and notes the council-recorded tallies as read into the record by the clerk.
