City Council approves multiple routine items; continues one funding measure to Feb. 26

The Los Angeles City Council on Wednesday approved multiple routine agenda items and committee reports, adopted a corrected Budget and Finance Committee report, and continued one funding item to Feb. 26 after a member requested more time to review district allocations.

Councilmembers voted to adopt a corrected Budget and Finance Committee report for item 2 after a motion by Councilmember Yaroslavsky and a second by Councilmember Blumenfield; the transcript records the item adopted with the roll call recorded as 12 yes votes.

Items 1 and 3 through 11 were placed before the council and were adopted by roll call during the session (tally for that roll call is recorded in the transcript as five ayes on the initial roll call entry). Item 12 was considered with Councilmember Price recusing himself; the transcript records the recusal and a subsequent roll call but does not provide full roll tallies for that item in the excerpt.

During discussion of item 21 — a funding/administrative action related to a nonprofit providing services in Council District 6 (Van Nuys Family Source Center) — Councilmember Padilla asked to continue the item to allow time to check details about about a roughly $500,000 allocation mentioned during public statements. A motion to continue item 21 to Feb. 26 was seconded; the roll call recorded in the transcript shows 11 yes votes and 1 no vote, so the continuance passed.

Items 13 through 20 were subsequently brought to the floor and adopted as a group; the transcript shows these items passed with a roll tally recorded as 13 ayes. The council also noted at the start of the meeting that item 23 was continued to Feb. 26 and that items 2 and 22 had been held on the desk earlier in the agenda.
