Council approves extension of planning mitigation contracts despite questions about backup materials
Summary
The council approved continuation of contracts for three firms providing mitigation services for community plan updates after members and commenters said the agenda lacked detail on scope, cost and completed work.
The Los Angeles City Council approved a staff request to continue contract authority for three firms providing mitigation services for community plan updates after members of the public and at least one councilmember said the agenda materials lacked detail about work completed, scope, and cost.
On the record, Leonard Shapiro said backup material did not specify what the firms had completed, how much of their services remained, or precise cost and time estimates. The firms named in the backup were Barton, Meyer and Kaku Associates. Councilmembers prepared the roll and the item passed with a recorded vote of 11 ayes.
Record: the council approved the continuation/extension as presented; members asked staff to provide fuller documentation in future backup so the council and public can evaluate the scope and cost of contracted mitigation work for community plan updates.
