Council approves three settlements totaling $707,000 in open session
Summary
After executive session the council returned to open session and approved settlements: Samara v. City of Los Angeles ($70,000), Jay Cicinelli v. City of Los Angeles ($137,000), and LB Settlement Trust & Lisa Bhatan ($500,000); roll calls in each case recorded 10 ayes.
The City Council returned from closed session and approved three settlement payments on March 17, 1999.
The clerk presented a motion to adopt the city attorney’s recommendation to settle Samara v. City of Los Angeles for $70,000; the council opened the roll, recorded the vote and approved the settlement. The council then approved a settlement in the matter of Jay Cicinelli v. City of Los Angeles for $137,000 and, subsequently, a settlement involving LB Settlement Trust and Lisa Bhatan for $500,000. Each settlement motion was placed on the record, the roll was opened and closed, and each approval was recorded as 10 ayes.
No additional discussion on the settlement amounts appears in the public record beyond the clerk’s presentation and the roll calls. One subsequent item (30 d) was continued to March 19.
The council’s actions resolved the listed claims as described on the record; any further administrative steps will follow the city attorney’s settlement procedures.
