City Council Meeting

August 27, 2025
Meeting ID: 17190

Meeting Summary

What Happened

The council met on August 27, 2025. Most items passed unanimously (15-0), though Items 13 (decommitting Prop HHH funding from the Hope on 6th project) and 32 (a vehicle-storage ordinance) were continued 30 days to September 26 at Council Member Tim McOsker's request, recorded 13-0-2 with two members briefly absent.

Among the routine business, the council confirmed Domenika Lynch as permanent General Manager of the El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument Department (Item 2, CF 25-1200-S35) on Council Member Ysabel Jurado's recommendation. The council also adopted a motion from Council Members Monica Rodriguez and John Lee (Item 8, CF 11-1013-S12) directing a report on operational problems with the My311 system, including malfunctioning GPS tracking and service requests being marked closed when they remain unresolved. A motion from Council Member Eunisses Hernandez (Item 31, CF 24-1219-S1) directing the Bureau of Street Services and LADOT to report on fixing street-sweeping enforcement — including stopping citations when no sweeper has passed or one has already cleaned the street — passed unanimously. Item 21, an interactive-kiosk program report, was reconsidered and adopted as amended by Council Member Katy Yaroslavsky to add stakeholder outreach requirements and clarify how city kiosk revenue would be split with council districts. Item 33, a resolution on tour bus operations in the Pacific Palisades fire recovery area, passed as amended by a substitute resolution from Council Members Traci Park and McOsker. Item 40, a proposed additional appropriation for outside counsel Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher in the LA Alliance for Human Rights litigation, was referred to the Budget and Finance Committee rather than voted on directly. The council also went into closed session on Item 41 regarding the same litigation, with the city attorney reporting no action taken.

Contested Votes

The council adopted a resolution establishing the city's opposition to Assembly Bill 770 (Item 39, CF 25-0002-S78), authored by Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson and Council Member Curren D. Price Jr., with Council Member Monica Rodriguez casting the lone no vote, 14-1. AB 770, by Assembly Member Mark Gonzalez, would create a targeted exemption in the state's Outdoor Advertising Act to let Los Angeles establish a sign district at the LA Convention Center. Rodriguez said she could not support the bill as currently written because the city attorney's office had warned that such an exemption could put the city out of compliance with federal highway law and shift legal liability for the signage from the state to the city. She said she had spoken with Assembly Member Gonzalez that morning about amending the bill and would support it if the liability concerns were addressed, but "absent amendments, I have to voice my opposition."

Public Comment

Several public comment speakers, identifying themselves as members of the community organization ACE and the group Reclaim Our Schools LA, urged support for Item 36, a motion by Council Members Curren D. Price Jr. and Heather Hutt funding a new signalized crosswalk in Council District 9 at the intersection where LA Unified School District student Derek Serrano was killed by a vehicle. Speakers said they collected more than 2,000 signatures for the traffic signal and thanked Price's office for committing funding, but also criticized the office for missing a scheduled meeting with Serrano's mother and said they wanted written confirmation that a full traffic signal — not a flashing beacon — would be installed, along with Serrano's name on the signal. A speaker representing the LA Unified School Board also urged support for the item. Separately, a speaker identifying as Susan Collins urged the council to reject the roughly $6 million litigation appropriation associated with Item 41, arguing the city attorney's office had already exceeded a prior $900,000 authorization for outside counsel Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher without properly informing the council, and that the funds would be better spent on homelessness services than on opposing a court-ordered monitor in the LA Alliance for Human Rights case.

Contested Votes

Tallies and member votes are the official record (LA City Clerk CVVS). Descriptions are drawn from the meeting transcript.

Item 39 — CF 25-0002-S78 (Adopted): Resolution establishing the city's position on AB 770, a state bill creating a targeted Outdoor Advertising Act exemption to allow a sign district at the LA Convention Center.

PLANNING AND LAND USE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT and RESOLUTION relative to approving and accepting the annexation of 0.64 acres of uninhabited County-owned territory known as Reorganization 2021-11 located south of the intersection of Beverly Boulevard and Genesee Avenue to the City of Los Angeles, detachment from the consolidated fire protection district of Los Angeles County and the West Basin Municipal Water District.

Official recommendation
APPROVE the proposed annexation of 0.64 acres of uninhabited County-owned territory known as Reorganization 2021-11 located south of the intersection of Beverly Boulevard and Genesee Avenue in Council District Five and the negotiated base property tax revenue to the City of Los Angeles in Tax Rate Area 01366. ADOPT the accompanying proposed Joint Tax Transfer RESOLUTION, attached to the City Administrative Officer report, attached to the Council file, approving and accepting the negotiated exchange of property tax revenues of $18,506 and .272305566 of annual tax increment to the City of Los Angeles attributable to Reorganization No. 2021-11. INSTRUCT and AUTHORIZE the City Administrative Officer (CAO), with the assistance of any other City departments deemed necessary, to take all necessary steps to submit the Joint Tax Transfer Resolution to the Local Agency Formation Commission for the detachment. INSTRUCT and AUTHORIZE the CAO and Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA) to ensure the pertinent City departments, after the effective date of the annexation, assume responsibility for the enforcement of flood plain management regulations within the area annexed by the City and administering compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program, to report back on any additional fiscal or operational impacts and to make any technical corrections necessary to effectuate the Council’s intent. Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that potential revenues in the amount of $18,506 will be received from property taxes on an annual basis with .0272305566 of annual property tax increment. Calculation of the property tax revenues are based on the County’s information. Based on land use and size, there is no anticipated impact to the General Fund for services for the annexed property as the property tax revenues appear sufficient to offset the negligible estimated costs reported. Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the recommendations of the report comply with the City’s Financial Policies in that the recommended actions should not result in a net impact to the General Fund as the projected property tax revenue is ongoing and may be sufficient to offset the projected ongoing related monitoring and administrative costs of the property.
