Council amends item 16 to delegate CRA authority to agency administrator
Summary
Council approved a technical amendment to item 16 to delegate authority to the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) administrator, increasing administrative discretion; the amendment passed and the item was approved.
The Los Angeles City Council approved a verbal amendment to item 16 to delegate authority from the CRA to the CRA administrator, a technical change the council described as increasing the administrator’s authority to initiate actions as appropriate.
Councilmember Reyes called item 16 special. A speaker on the record described the change as a technical amendment “to change delegate authority to the CRA to the administrator of the CRA to initiate actions as appropriate.” Councilmember Holden said he had held the item until the new administration was sworn in, and that the administrator would have more authority under the amended language than the commission currently holds.
After brief discussion the council voted to approve item 16 as amended; the vote on the item was recorded as 13 ayes and the item was approved.
The transcript identifies the amendment as a technical language change and records members’ discussion about administrative authority; it does not specify additional operational limits, a statutory citation, or follow-up reporting requirements in the recorded remarks.
