Council approves two closed-session settlement payouts totaling up to $875,000
Summary
The Los Angeles City Council approved two closed-session settlement recommendations: up to $500,000 for Jane Doe v. Juan Carlos Ramirez et al. and up to $375,000 for DeShaun Seward v. City of Los Angeles et al.
During Tuesday’s session the council approved two settlement payouts that had been recommended following closed-session consideration by the Budget and Finance Committee.
The city clerk read the items into the record: in the case listed as Jane Doe v. Juan Carlos Ramirez, et al., staff recommended a settlement expenditure of up to $500,000; in the case DeShaun Seward v. City of Los Angeles, et al., staff recommended up to $375,000. The council voted 12 ayes to authorize the expenditures.
The hearing record lists the item descriptions but the transcript does not include further detail on the underlying claims or the settlement terms beyond the not-to-exceed amounts read into the record. The approvals follow the Budget and Finance Committee’s prior consideration of the two closed-session items earlier in April.
The council recorded the roll call as 12 ayes on these authorizations.
