Council votes to meet in closed session for update on police labor negotiations
Summary
The City Council voted to make findings that an immediate need had arisen to receive a status report on labor negotiations with the Police Protective League and then voted to meet in executive session to receive that report.
The Los Angeles City Council on Friday approved findings that an immediate need had arisen after the agenda was posted to receive a status report on labor negotiations with the Police Protective League, then voted to hold an executive session to receive the report.
Council members recorded a vote of 13 ayes on the finding that immediate action was required because recent events in the prior 24 hours altered the status of the negotiations. The council then voted to hear the closed-session report; the roll call recorded 13 ayes.
The council—s public record identifies the item as a status report on labor negotiations; no bargaining positions or settlement terms were disclosed in the public session. The clerk announced that the council would proceed into executive session to receive the report.
Why it matters: Labor negotiations with the Police Protective League concern police terms and employment conditions; council consideration in closed session is consistent with state law allowing executive sessions for labor negotiations and to preserve bargaining positions.
Looking ahead: The council recessed to executive session; the transcript does not record any outcomes or votes taken in closed session.
