Votes at a glance: council approves several items, leaves affordable-housing bond on desk
Summary
The Los Angeles City Council recorded unanimous votes on multiple agenda items and left an item regarding a revenue bond for an affordable-housing project on the desk for lack of quorum; details for some items were not specified in the transcript.
At its May 9 meeting the Los Angeles City Council recorded 10-0 votes on a set of consent and regular items and left item 1 on the desk due to a lack of quorum when the meeting adjourned.
The clerk reported that items 2 through 5 and item 8 were available for a vote; the roll call subsequently showed "10 ayes." The transcript does not record the motion text or sponsors for those individual items in the public portion of the record.
Separately, the council later voted 10-0 on items 6 and 7 after a discussion led by Councilmember Adrin Nazarian (those items and the related debate are reported in a separate article on the film tax-credit resolutions).
Item 1, a notice and public hearing matter tied to revenue bonds for an affordable-housing project in Balboa, remained on the desk because the council lacked quorum at adjournment; the transcript includes public comments that addressed concerns about the proposed developer and bond structure.
What was recorded in the meeting transcript: - Items 2, 3, 4, 5 and 8: recorded vote "10 ayes"; specific motion text and sponsor for each item not specified in the transcript. - Items 6 and 7: discussed and approved 10-0 (see separate coverage of film tax-credit resolutions). - Item 1: left on the desk because no final quorum; public commentary raised questions about the developer and types of bonds.
