Los Angeles City Council convened on February 14, 2025, to honor two influential figures in the community, marking significant transitions in their careers. David Herón, who dedicated two decades to public service, received heartfelt tributes from council members as he prepares to leave his role. Herón's contributions spanned various districts, where he focused on renewable energy and environmental policies, leaving a lasting impact on the city. Although he is departing, he will continue to work as a contractor on ongoing projects, ensuring his expertise remains within the community.

In addition to Herón, the council recognized Laura Remon, the executive director of ACTLA, for her transformative work in housing policy. Remon played a pivotal role in the successful passage of Measure ULA, which aims to improve affordable housing and tenant rights in Los Angeles. Her leadership has been instrumental in mobilizing community support and fostering collaboration among various stakeholders to address the city's housing crisis.

Council members expressed their gratitude for both Herón's and Remon's dedication and achievements, emphasizing the importance of their work in shaping policies that benefit the residents of Los Angeles. As they transition to new chapters in their careers, the council remains committed to building on their legacies and continuing the fight for social and economic justice in the city.
