Votes at a glance: consent items, public hearings and settlements from council meeting
Summary
Multiple consent items and public hearings were approved at the Los Angeles City Council meeting; the clerk recorded votes for several clustered items and a settlement vote on a litigation matter.
The City Council approved a slate of consent and public-hearing items and took several settlement votes during the meeting. Below are the items the council acted on that were recorded in the meeting record.
- Items 3, 5 and 6 (required public hearings): Public hearings were held and closed; the clerk recorded 11 ayes and the items were approved.
- A set of items for which public hearings had been held (items 9 through 16) were called and voted; the clerk recorded 14 ayes for the group where noted and the items were approved. Item 9 at one point was held "on the desk" for further consideration.
- Items 17 through 29 (items for which public hearings had not been held) were also called; the clerk recorded 14 ayes on those votes where tabulated and the items were approved.
- Item 16 (a settlement or claim discussed in the meeting): Council asked for clarification about how an assessed amount of $177,000 was reduced to a settlement of $60,000; the city attorney said the business in question was out of business and the reduced amount reflected what the city could reasonably collect. The clerk recorded 15 ayes on item 16, and the council sent the item forthwith.
- Special 1 (identified in the meeting as a settlement in the case of Cavalier v. City of Los Angeles): The judge-recommended settlement appeared on the special agenda. The clerk recorded the vote as 10 ayes and 3 noes; the motion passed and was approved with one member (City Attorney Walters recorded separately as a no vote in the transcript) noted as voting no.
These items were part of larger grouped roll calls and consent actions recorded in the meeting transcript; decisions above reflect the clerk tallies and the statements recorded on the council floor.
