Council record: votes on routine and financial items, plus closed-session settlement recommendations
Summary
At the March 26 meeting the council approved a broad set of agenda items, accepted settlement-authority recommendations emerging from closed session, and scheduled an ordinance for second consideration; several roll-call tallies were recorded on the public record.
The Los Angeles City Council voted to approve multiple consent and noncontroversial items and considered recommendations tied to closed-session litigation settlements during the March 26 meeting.
At the start of the meeting the clerk announced a quorum and the council approved items 1–5 and 7–21 as presented. Later in the session the council recorded votes on two blocks of items. The final recorded votes on the publicly heard items were affirmed on the record with unanimous roll-call tallies as read by the clerk.
Item 8 (an ordinance) was continued to April 2 for second consideration, as noted on the record.
Closed-session settlement recommendations (agenda items 34–40) were presented for approval by the Budget and Finance chair and directed to BNF (Budget, Finance and Innovation) with recorded authority increases for specified cases. On the public record the chair read amounts recommended for expansion of settlement authority in multiple cases; the chair then reported the items were approved in committee with the recorded tally. The cases and the amounts read into the record were (as spoken):
- Case “Contra la Ciudad de Los Ángeles” — recommend expand up to $300,000 in resolution authority. - Case “Brigitte Crision” v. City of Los Angeles — recommend expand up to $350,000 in resolution authority. - Case “Paulina Carval” v. City of Los Angeles — recommend expand up to $425,000 in resolution authority. - Case “Jezad Dyer” v. City of Los Angeles — recommend expand up to $500,000 in resolution authority. - Case “Gabriela Sabet Paxtanz” v. City of Los Angeles — recommend expand up to $500,000 in resolution authority. - Case “Oman López Nolasco” (Department of Public Works) — recommend expand up to $750,000 in resolution authority.
The chair stated these closed-session items were before the council and the committee recommendation was read into the record; the clerk recorded the committee motion and an affirmative tally on the record.
A number of individual motions for publication, referral, and minor modifications were also approved by roll call during the meeting; the clerk recorded affirmative tallies throughout the agenda. The meeting concluded after a block of additional votes was taken and announced by the clerk.
Ending: The meeting record shows broad council approval for the items presented and committee-recommended settlement authority increases; the clerk’s readouts and the staff documents are the official source for exact item numbers and dollar amounts.
