Council authorizes four settlements totaling $1.517 million following closed session
Summary
After an executive session, the council authorized settlement payments for four cases: $225,000 (Greek Theatre claim), $200,000, $142,500 and $950,000 in related litigation and claims.
At the conclusion of a closed executive session, the Los Angeles City Council reported that it authorized four settlement expenditures brought forward by the City Attorney's office.
The council recorded the following authorizations: Mall Craft Incorporated v. City (Greek Theatre claim), $225,000; Damien DeShay Birth v. Dennis Latta (Los Angeles Superior Court, BC110572) up to $200,000; Richard and Joan Longwell v. City (BC190765) $142,500; and Peter Williams v. Greg Acubion (U.S. District Court CV97‑6269) $950,000. Each settlement authorization was brought to the open meeting for a roll‑call vote and recorded by the clerk.
On those items the council directed the City Attorney to proceed with the payments and settlements as approved. Recorded roll calls in the clerk’s minutes show the counts recorded for each authorization (see council roll calls immediately following closed session). The council asked that these matters be processed forthwith.
