City Council Meeting

Date TBD
Meeting ID: 16511

Meeting Summary

What Happened

Nothing was reported out of closed session. The council adopted, without recorded opposition, a motion to bifurcate Item 22's Budget and Finance Committee report on the Nossaman LLP outside-counsel contract, separating out a $370,000 contract recommendation (No. C-146250) and continuing it to March 25, 2025, for further consideration. Item 39 was adopted as a substitute motion introduced by Council Member Soto-Martinez, passing both the motion to substitute and the substituted item unanimously 12-0.

Contested Votes

Items 15, 16, and 17 (Public Safety Committee reports accepting non-monetary donations from the Los Angeles Police Foundation to the LAPD — $25,500 for media equipment in the Topanga Area Community Room, $47,325.20 for redaction software for the LAPD Risk Management and Legal Affairs Division, and $60,795 for a 2025 Ford Explorer police vehicle to showcase new vehicle-based technology for the Information Technology Bureau) each passed 9-2, with Hernandez and Soto-Martinez voting no on all three. No floor debate accompanied any of the three votes.

Item 37 (Yaroslavsky-Lee motion funding public safety enhancements in the Century City neighborhood of CD5) passed 10-2, with Jurado and Soto-Martinez voting no. A public commenter noted the item allocates city funds to the Los Angeles Police Foundation, questioning why city money would be directed to an entity whose funding is meant to come from private donations.

Public Comment

A recurring commenter criticized Item 37 for routing city funds to the Police Foundation, raised concerns about a then-recent LAPD recruiting-division scandal involving recorded racist, sexist, and homophobic comments, and opposed a pending LAMC 41.18 enforcement motion from Council Member Padilla, arguing unhoused residents need housing and services rather than sweeps and criminalization.

Official recommendation
DETERMINE that approval of the Amendment and related actions (Project) is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Article 19, Section 15301 [Permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use] and Section 15311 [Construction, or placement of minor structures accessory to (appurtenant to) existing commercial, industrial, or institutional facilities] of California CEQA Guidelines and Article III, Section 1, Class 1(14) and Class 11(6) of City CEQA Guidelines; and, direct the Department of Recreation and Parks (RAP) to file a Notice of Exemption with the Los Angeles County Clerk and the California Office of Planning and Research. APPROVE the Amendment to the Memorandum of Agreement between the RAP and FCMA to allow FCMA to sell beverages and packaged snacks in their gift shop and an adjacent coffee cart on the Aquarium grounds. Fiscal Impact Statement: The Board of Recreation and Park Commissioners reports that the Amendment has no negative impact on the Aquarium’s operations and RAP’s General Fund, inasmuch as all funds generated by FCMA are used to support the Aquarium and offset program and capital improvement expenditures. The relationship with FCMA almost affords additional fundraising opportunities, which enables the Aquarium to continue and/or expand services without bearing the full cost of those services.
