Council confirms William T. Fujioka as city CEO after committee vetting; salary discussed
Summary
William T. Fujioka won council confirmation after committee vetting and public comment; councilors also approved the mayor’s recommended salary package, though members noted packet figures were unclear in the record.
The Los Angeles City Council confirmed William T. Fujioka to the newly reconstituted city CEO post following committee review and public comment.
David Diaz, an environmental planner who spoke during the public hearing, urged support for Fujioka, saying he was “fair” and had “a lot of integrity” and that the city could rely on him for accurate, objective information. Committee members told the council they had thoroughly questioned Fujioka on financial and managerial topics and found his responses satisfactory.
The council then took up the companion question of salary. Council members noted the printed agenda packet omitted full salary detail, prompting several requests for clarification. The clerk read figures from the packet indicating the prior CEO’s salary and the mayor’s recommended salary for Fujioka; councilors recorded that the mayor’s recommendation was lower than the prior pay and voted to adopt the mayor’s recommendation. The roll-call on confirmation and the salary recommendation passed on recorded votes.
Fujioka introduced family members after confirmation. No other policy changes were made in the course of the confirmation.
