Council approves consent items, settlements and takes jurisdiction over Port trucking proposal
Summary
The council voted on a broad set of consent items and settlements (items 2–42; 45–55) and in a special meeting unanimously took jurisdiction under a 245 motion over an 18‑acre Port Commission trucking/chassis proposal to allow further review and community engagement.
During its June 24 session the Los Angeles City Council approved multiple consent and budget items and voted to take jurisdiction over a Port Commission decision concerning an 18‑acre trucking/chassis site.
The clerk reported votes on consent calendar groupings and settlements (items 2–11, 13–15 and 19–42, followed by budget and settlement items 45–55). Several settlements were read into the record, with recommended expenditures noted for specific lawsuits; the clerk then reported the roll calls (e.g., 13 ayes on one set and 12 ayes on another as read into the minutes). The items were carried by the council as reflected in the clerk’s tallies.
Councilmember Tom LaBonge (T. McOsker, as recorded in the transcript) brought forward a 245 motion during a special meeting to take jurisdiction of a Port Commission action that would reclassify roughly 18 acres adjacent to the 110 Freeway for trucking and chassis activity. McOsker said taking jurisdiction was not an endorsement of the project but a procedural step to fast‑track the matter for additional discussions with the developer and affected Wilmington residents. The special meeting vote to take jurisdiction passed 11–0.
Other business included approval of motions, minor continuances and scheduling changes. Council also heard multiple public‑comment items unrelated to the major votes, including community concerns about the Boyle Heights fire, warehouse fires affecting the East Side and calls for worker protections in the fast‑food sector.
The council concluded the day with announcements and an adjournment in memory of civil‑rights lawyer David Cadel.
