An unidentified staff member announced that the Los Angeles City Council lacked a quorum and adjourned the meeting, saying all items on the agenda would be continued to Friday and, if a Friday quorum is not achieved, both today’s and Friday’s agendas would be continued to Tuesday.
"Seeing a lack of a quorum, the council will not meet today and is adjourned," the staff member said. The staff member added that "it does look like we will have a quorum on Tuesday. Friday is doubtful." The remarks were made at the start of the meeting; no agenda items were taken up or voted on during the session.
Because no quorum was present, no formal motions, votes, or public hearings occurred and no committee actions were recorded. The staff member instructed that the items listed on the agenda would be continued to the next meeting day identified (Friday), and cautioned that those items could be carried forward again to Tuesday if a quorum is not present on Friday. Specific calendar dates for the continued meetings were not specified in the transcript.
The announcement means council business scheduled for the day — including any ordinances, resolutions, appointments, contracts, or hearings on the published agenda — were postponed rather than considered. Any formal actions that require council vote will need to be rescheduled to a later meeting when a quorum is present.
Members of the public and applicants listed on the agenda should consult the council’s official schedule or staff for updated hearing dates and times; the transcript did not provide follow-up scheduling details or specify which agenda items were affected.
