Summary
Alongside adopting the indoor temperature ordinance, the council approved a package of consent and policy items (including items 4–7, 9–11, 38, 40, 46, 58 and 62) with recorded roll‑call tallies noted in the meeting.
The Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday handled a broad agenda of consent, policy and committee items, including adopting an indoor temperature standard for rental housing (item 12) and voting on several amendments and committee reports.
Early in the meeting the council took separate roll calls for consent items; a called vote on items 4 and 5 returned a recorded tally of 10 ayes and 2 noes. Later in the session the council recorded roll calls on a set of items with 14 ayes.
Notable procedural and outcome items included:
- Item 12 (maximum indoor temperature for rentals): adopted as amended (final recorded vote 14 ayes). - Item 46 (amendment on encampment clearance and fire‑hazard protocols): the amendment passed and the amended item was approved in a recorded vote of 11 ayes, 3 noes. - Item 58 (called special for separate vote): passed 12 ayes, 2 noes. - Item 62 (adoption of the arts committee report): passed 14 ayes.
Councilmember Rodriguez brought item 40 — a motion to invite LAPD Chief McDonald to discuss rules of engagement and oversight — which the council approved 14–0. Other motions for posting and referral were approved and several items were continued or set for later report‑back.
The clerk recorded votes throughout the meeting and confirmed that specified items were posted and referred as required. After final passage of business the council heard announcements and adjourned, setting the next meeting for Friday.
Outcome details and recorded tallies are drawn from council roll calls recorded by the clerk during the meeting.
