Councilmembers announce Día de los Muertos events and hold remembrances for local residents
Summary
Councilmembers used the floor to promote community Día de los Muertos and Halloween events across districts, to invite residents to free family activities, and to deliver remembrances for Rogelia Bernal and Gary Wendell Nelson.
After public comment the council took time for member announcements and community notices. Several members announced local Día de los Muertos events, resource fairs and family festivals across council districts, including a Great Pumpkin Bash, cultural celebrations in West Adams, Panorama and Pacoima, and neighborhood resource fairs for families.
Councilmember Padilla asked the chamber to rise in memory of Rogelia Bernal (transcript spelling) and delivered a multi‑minute remembrance describing her life, family and ties to the San Fernando Valley. Another member offered condolences and remembrance for Gary Wendell Nelson, noting his community service and involvement with neighborhood organizations.
These items were announced from the dais and recorded in the public record; they included event dates and locations and invitations for residents to participate.
