Summary
The Los Angeles City Council in April 2026 approved a block of items and separately adopted items including No. 40 (14–1), No. 63 (13–2) and No. 67 (11–4); item 13 was held over for second consideration on April 21 unless reconsidered. Multiple substitute motions passed by recorded vote.
The Los Angeles City Council convened in April 2026 and recorded votes on a series of agenda items, approving a large consent and regular-business block and several separate measures during the meeting.
Clerk and presiding officers opened the roll and listed items subject to public hearing and different voting requirements. The council voted to hold item 13 over to Tuesday, April 21 for second consideration unless it is reconsidered earlier; the clerk noted a street-name typo for item 67 (should read Rose Avenue).
Key results at a glance:
- Item 40: Adopted on a roll call, 14 ayes, 1 no (item 40 recorded as adopted). - Item 63: Adopted by recorded vote, 13 ayes, 2 nos. - Item 67: Adopted by recorded vote, 11 ayes, 4 nos. - Item 13: Held over one week to April 21 for second consideration unless reconsidered. - Several substitute motions and amendments (for items including 41, 43 and 55) were approved as substitute motions by recorded vote; some passed unanimously or with broad support on voice/roll calls.
Procedural notes: Councilmember Price recused from item 12 before votes on that amended item were taken; the clerk recorded recusals where members asked to be noted. The council also recorded a large block vote covering many items (items 1–4, 6–9, 13, 16–39, 42–54, and other ranges) that produced unanimous support for the block in the transcript record.
Why it matters: The votes enact routine and specific local actions affecting city operations, special districts, and administrative changes. The hold on item 13 preserves time for second consideration and correction of a clerical error; substitute motions demonstrate members used amendments and substitutions to reshape items before final adoption.
Next steps: Item 13 is scheduled for second consideration April 21 unless earlier taken up; other adopted items will be implemented per their administrative instructions or referred as recorded in the council files.
Attribution: Vote tallies and procedural actions are drawn from oral roll calls and clerk statements in the meeting transcript; individual member votes are recorded in the transcript’s roll-call moments.
