Summary

After a closed-session instruction, the council approved a $650,000 increase to an ASMR ERP contract and a separate $1.8 million transfer to a Gibson, Dunne & Krutcher contract. Item 22 passed 9–3; item 23 passed 9–4.

The Los Angeles City Council approved financial adjustments Jan. 28 tied to two contracts after directing staff in a special-session segment.

The City Attorney read recommendations that included authorizing a $650,000 increase to a contract identified in the record as ASMR ERP and instructing the controller to transfer funds for that purpose. Councilmember Padilla seconded the motion; the modified recommendation for item 22 passed with a recorded tally of 9–3.

On a separate item, staff recommended transferring $1.8 million to a contract for Gibson, Dunne & Krutcher (contract numbers and fund/account details were read into the record). That measure passed 9–4 after motion and second.

The motions were procedural approvals that direct the City Attorney and controller to implement the contract changes and fund transfers; they do not in themselves describe contract scope changes beyond the funding moves. The council did not read expanded contract scopes into the record during the vote; the City Attorney’s office will post updated contract documents and controller transmittals as required by city administrative rules.

What’s next: The controller and the City Attorney will execute the transfers and post updated contract documentation; council follow-up and reporting will appear in subsequent committee agendas if additional approvals are required.
