City Council Meeting

March 27, 2026
Meeting ID: 17751

Meeting Summary

What Happened

Eleven council members were present throughout the meeting, with all members participating in votes. The meeting included several presentations honoring departing DWP CEO Janice Kinones, recognizing National Child Abuse Prevention Month, celebrating journalist Ted Chen's transition to ministry, and marking Iranian New Year (Nowruz).

The council unanimously approved most routine items without debate, including committee reports on transportation revenue programs (CF 25-0600-S120), ADA compliance staffing needs (CF 25-0600-S78), and various personnel and infrastructure matters. Items 2-13 were approved en masse with minimal discussion.

Fire Commissioner Appointments The council approved three new Fire Commission appointments with one contested vote. Council Member Lee praised the nominees' enthusiasm and qualifications. Council Member Blumenfield specifically endorsed John Perez, calling him "an incredible speaker, incredible politician, former labor leader" whose expertise would be valuable to the commission. The appointments of Jerry Abraham and Jose Cornejo passed unanimously, while John Perez's appointment faced one dissenting vote.

Disaster Recovery District for Palisades Fire Item 14 (CF 25-0006-S38) regarding adoption of a Disaster Recovery District for the Palisades Fire area passed unanimously. Council Member Blumenfield moved the item to the Budget Committee for further consideration before the vote.

Caesar Chavez Renaming Process In the special meeting, Council Member Hernandez presented a motion (Item 25) to inventory and potentially rename city assets bearing Caesar Chavez's name following allegations against the labor leader. Hernandez emphasized this was about telling "the whole story" of the farmworker movement, crediting Filipino workers who "walked out first" and women who "ran the union and bore the greatest personal cost while receiving the least recognition." She thanked survivors who came forward and stressed the community-driven nature of the proposed renaming process.

Public Comment Public comment was dominated by transgender rights advocates from the Trans Latina Coalition demanding city investment in the TGI Wellness and Equity Initiative. Multiple speakers criticized the council for symbolic support without funding, with one speaker stating "Support does not just mean empty words. Support means protective action." The speakers emphasized that transgender people face housing insecurity and discrimination in every council district and called for concrete budget allocations rather than just recognition.

Several speakers also addressed human trafficking concerns related to LA28 Olympics and FIFA events, requesting transparency in human rights reports that were due in December 2025 but have not been released.
