Public Safety Committee approves consent items including donations, contract amendments and dispute-resolution grant authority; vehicle donation vote split
Summary
The Public Safety Committee approved a package of consent items, including grant authority, budget and contract amendments, and nonmonetary donations; one donation (a 2025 Ford Explorer valued at $60,795) was taken separately and passed with one dissenting vote.
The Public Safety Committee approved a package of consent recommendations and several separate items during its meeting. Chair Councilmember John Lee recommended items 2–6 and 9–14 for consent and the committee approved them by roll call. Councilmembers John Lee, Price and McOsker voted yes; Councilmember Sotomayor Martinez cast a no on one separate item; Councilmember Park was absent at points during the roll calls noted in the record.
Key consent approvals (summary of committee record):
- Items 2 and 3: Approved CAO and City Attorney reports to grant the City Attorney authority to accept a dispute-resolution program grant award from Los Angeles County (approved on consent).
- Item 4: Approved the Board of Police Commissioners’ proposed revolving training fund budget for fiscal year 2024–25 and associated fund distributions (approved on consent).
- Item 5: Noted and filed an LAFD report (approved on consent).
- Item 6: Approved the Los Angeles Police Commission’s request to accept a nonmonetary donation valued at approximately $47,000 from the Los Angeles Police Foundation (approved on consent).
- Item 7 (separate vote): A Board of Police Commissioners report described a nonmonetary donation of a 2025 Ford Explorer police vehicle, valued at $60,795, from the Los Angeles Police Foundation for the LAPD Information Technology Bureau. The committee took a separate roll call on this donation. Councilmember John Lee voted aye; Councilmember Park (when present) voted aye; Councilmember McOsker voted aye; Councilmember Sotomayor Martinez voted no. The item passed.
- Item 13: Approved the CAO report granting LAPD authority to execute a proposed fourth amendment with Ericsson Inc. for helitanker services, and instructed LAFD to ensure the contractor provides proof of insurance prior to execution (approved on consent).
- Item 14: Approved the CAO report granting LAFD authority to execute a proposed sixth amendment to agreement C-135817 with Apple 1 to provide temporary, as‑needed staffing services (approved on consent).
Additional procedural action: Chair Lee moved to continue item 8 to a date to be determined; no committee member objected and the item was continued.
Votes at a glance: Most consent items were approved unanimously by the four members present at those roll calls. The separate roll call on item 7 recorded one no vote (Councilmember Sotomayor Martinez) and the item was approved. The committee recorded that Councilmember Park was absent for one roll call and later indicated she was present for subsequent votes.
Ending: The committee adjourned after approving the consent package and noting the continuation of item 8.
