The Los Angeles City Council took votes on several items during its July 2001 meeting. Key outcomes recorded on the public roll were:
- Item 4: Council adopted a resolution awarding the aggregate principal bid for municipal bonds to Solomon Smith Barney in an aggregate principal amount of $201,290,000 with a true interest cost of 4.50076%. The roll call recorded 11 ayes and the item was approved.
- Items 1 through 3: Public hearings had been held; the council opened and closed the roll and approved items 1–3 (vote recorded as 11 ayes for the group); Item 1 was excused for second reading and held over until August 7 for second reading in some sequence and later reconsidered and approved on a 14‑vote roll call.

- Item 13: The committee reorganization resolution was called special and, after debate and an amendment (see separate article), was adopted on a 14‑vote roll call.
- Item 14: A motion concerning positions under resolution authority and practices for converting them to ordinance authority was discussed; staff said many positions were moved during the recent budget to regular authority and the council approved the item (14 ayes).
- Item 16: A closed session matter was continued to August 3 at the request of a councilmember; the council cleared the desk and reconvened to open session later.
Full roll-call tallies were given as counts on the public record when recorded; when names were not called individually the roll showed tallies rather than a vote-by-name. Items on the consent or regular calendar with no extended debate were approved by the counts reported from the clerk.
