City Council Meeting

September 10, 2025
Meeting ID: 17181

Meeting Summary

What Happened

Ten council members were present at the start of the meeting, rising to fifteen later in the session; Council Member Curren Price recused himself from Item 15 over a potential conflict involving his wife's employer. Council Member Tim McOsker led a lengthy floor statement on Item 36 (CF 25-0781), denying an appeal of the Board of Harbor Commissioners' certification of a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report for the West Harbor project's proposed 6,200-seat amphitheater in San Pedro. McOsker, joined by former Council Member Joe Buscaino and Council Member Traci Park, called the eleventh-hour CEQA appeal "SQA abuse" with no legal merit, saying the project — more than a decade in the making — was backed by building trades unions, local businesses, and the San Pedro Chamber of Commerce, and cited estimates of 1,700 operational jobs, $88 million in labor income, and $250 million in economic output; the item, as amended by McOsker and Park, passed unanimously. Council Member Adrin Nazarian introduced a resolution supporting the federal Election Rigging Response Act, which passed 15-0, and Council Member Nithya Raman secured passage of Item 27, directing a report on reducing LAPD 911 non-emergency call wait times, which she said can exceed an hour depending on call volume even though 57% of emergency calls are answered within the state-standard 15 seconds.

Council adopted a large bloc of items with limited discussion, including a Los Angeles Community College District partnership motion (Item 17) supporting the district's plan to use $500 million from Measure LA for student and workforce housing; Council Member Eunisses Hernandez's amended Item 16; and roughly a dozen additional committee reports and district motions.

Contested Votes

Item 19 (CF 25-0966) — AI pilot program for permit pre-screening, adopted 13-1 as amended. A Planning and Land Use Management Committee report establishing a pilot program using artificial intelligence tools to pre-screen permit applications, amended by Council Member Hugo Soto-Martinez and Council Member Bob Blumenfield, passed 13-1, with Council Member Heather Hutt opposed. The item was not extensively debated on the floor.

Item 22 (CF 25-0579) — Microsoft Co-Pilot license donation to LAPD, adopted 11-2. A Public Safety Committee report accepting a non-monetary donation of Microsoft Co-Pilot AI software licenses from the Los Angeles Police Foundation passed 11-2, with Council Member Eunisses Hernandez and Council Member Hugo Soto-Martinez opposed. The item was called for a separate vote but not extensively debated on the floor.

Items 23-24 (CF 25-0771, 25-0036) — Automated License Plate Recognition camera donations to LAPD, both adopted 10-3. Two Public Safety Committee reports accepting non-monetary donations of Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) camera equipment from the Los Angeles Police Foundation each passed 10-3, with Council Member Eunisses Hernandez, Council Member Ysabel Jurado, and Council Member Hugo Soto-Martinez opposed. Neither item was extensively debated on the floor.

Item 39 (CF 25-1031) — Council District 12 signage funding, adopted 13-1. A motion by Council Member John Lee and Council Member Heather Hutt funding signage installation in Council District 12 passed 13-1, with Council Member Hugo Soto-Martinez opposed. The item was not debated on the floor.

Public Comment

Public comment was dominated by two topics. A large group of Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACE) members urged Council to strengthen the city's Systematic Code Enforcement Program by allowing rent reductions when landlords fail to make repairs, requiring inspectors to take before-and-after photos, providing Spanish-language inspection services, and adding mold testing, while separately urging Council to advance a 0%-floor, 3%-cap Rent Stabilization Ordinance reform. A large contingent of San Pedro residents, business owners, and labor representatives — including the San Pedro Chamber of Commerce, San Pedro Brewing Company, the Los Angeles Maritime Institute, and Netherlander Concerts (which operated the Greek Theatre for 40 years) — urged Council to deny the CEQA appeal against the West Harbor amphitheater project described above.

STATUTORY EXEMPTION and HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS COMMITTEE REPORT relative to a lease extension and change in service provider for the A Bridge Home (ABH) site located at 3248 (3210) Riverside Drive.

Official recommendation
FIND that the funding allocation, lease, change in service provider and continued use for an additional period not to exceed one year for the ABH/low barrier navigation center located at 3248 Riverside Drive, for those experiencing homelessness, are statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 21080.27.5, applicable to low barrier navigation centers and Government Code Section 8698.4(a)(4), governing homeless shelter projects under a shelter crisis declaration. Please refer to the Notice of Exemption attached to Council file No. 19-0126-S3. FIND that pursuant to the Los Angeles City Charter Section 371(e)(10) and the Los Angeles Administrative Code Section 10.15(a)(10), that the use of competitive bidding for the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) services agreement and the City lease with Weingart Center for the operation of the ABH site located at 3248 (3210) Riverside Drive in Council District Four (CD 4) from October 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026 would be undesirable and impractical. The site, which houses 100 participant beds, has been without a permanent services provider since July 1, 2025, and there is an urgent need for a provider with the requisite capacity, experience, and expertise to operate the site immediately. In addition to being on LAHSA's list of qualified interim housing providers, the Weingart Center has a proven record of successfully partnering with the City to operate other comparable interim housing sites. REQUEST the LAHSA to execute a new or amend an existing sole-source agreement with the service provider, Weingart Center, for the operation of the ABH site located at 3248 (3210) Riverside Drive in CD 4 from October 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, and to add (pro-rata share of $3,248,500) to the agreement. AUTHORIZE the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD) to prepare, process and execute the necessary documents with and/or payments to LAHSA, or any other agencies or organizations as appropriate, utilizing the above amounts for the above purposes.
