\"The bill would shift the liability from the state to the city of Los Angeles in giving us greater exposure,\" Rodriguez said. She added that she had spoken with the bill’s sponsor, Assemblymember Mark Gonzalez, and said she would consider supporting the measure only if amendments addressed those liability concerns.

Rodriguez said the office was open to amendments but could not support the item as written because of the risk of federal noncompliance. After discussion the council opened the roll and recorded the vote on the item; the clerk announced 14 ayes and 1 no on the motion.

Councilmember Nithya Raman Hernandez (as identified in the record as Hernandez) introduced the motion, saying residents were receiving parking citations even when sweepers had not come or when sweepers could not clean a block because parked cars blocked the route. Hernandez said inequities and resource shortfalls meant some neighborhoods were unfairly penalized.

\"Our constituents are frustrated and they have every right to be,\" Hernandez said. The motion asks BSS and DOT to explore better coordination between sweepers and enforcement, consider technology to track when and where sweeping occurs, and to stop issuing citations when no sweeping takes place or after the sweeper has already passed.

The motion also requests data on who has been impacted to identify disparities in enforcement. Hernandez cited examples of neighboring cities that have already implemented similar changes and urged the council to follow suit.

The clerk recorded a roll-call vote of 15 ayes.","The council unanimously approved a motion asking Bureau of Street Services and DOT to fix coordination problems with street sweeping enforcement, including technology tracking, stopping tickets where no sweep occurs, and producing data on who is most affected.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6479605,"Council moves to audit and improve MyLA311 after operational complaints",319,4654000,4973000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5693266-e8a73150cf67a405a5f60996094d6dde&start=4654&end=4973","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5693266-e8a73150cf67a405a5f60996094d6dde/thumbnail_4654000.jpg","/articles/6479605/Los-Angeles-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Council-moves-to-audit-and-improve-MyLA311-after-operational-complaints","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6479605-03ce1cc6a8358a34a7f1f852ef995c67/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141641&Signature=Oko02YdWCeGD3v7V6Z5GM3R8K6my1mFAPKZNZ7GmQMt-S8nl894ufYeRJXm6l-0cVBM8ouJviGA1M3e4qiIDOi~B46JWH~HnuFSIiYICp0VPC1FHpsKmu6wrnkytbB5F4CnAz~VdqCU4gabgeBauAkCmVUqBqbysb62kcACNX20npWuxbsmLQRfF0hpNHIQUrQvfqyv-YXDChKVVB-U-H9zqrWc2Uqp57kQUGYIv-VUWmInmEyXxipUJCIZwdHcl4I2EOW3xQbK-K5LqodIWzrf9oHpjHvIA5AXKEY6wR14RMrvaYg~u2MiW3q3BdUs8Ajd0leV9sC~kCoj0nhVnFA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Councilmembers voted Wednesday to advance a motion asking city departments to report on operational problems with the MyLA311 system and propose fixes to improve service delivery, data transparency and user experience.

Councilmember Monica Rodriguez, joined by Councilmember Lee as a co-presenter, said the modernization of MyLA311 must deliver on promises of accessibility and reliable data. Rodriguez said staff have reported malfunctioning GPS location data, difficulty accessing records, and cases recorded as “closed” when service remains outstanding.

\"If MyLA311 is to remain one of the most important, most relied-upon services and digital platforms in our city, then we have to guarantee the transparency and the efficiency and user friendliness for both the public and our employees,\" Rodriguez said.

The motion asks relevant departments to return with a plan that addresses GPS reliability, better coordination between operations and enforcement, and data tools that allow the council and the public to verify service status. The council opened the roll and recorded votes on the calendar; the clerk later reported the disposition of consent and calendar items.

No specific contract changes, vendor names, or dollar figures were provided during the council floor discussion; the motion requests operational and technical fixes and additional reporting to the council.","Councilmembers introduced and advanced a motion directing staff to examine problems with the MyLA311 system, including GPS accuracy, data access and requests that are incorrectly closed.

Representatives of the Los Angeles Unified School District and local parent groups urged the council to move quickly. Genesis Coronado, speaking on behalf of LAUSD board member Carla Grama, said the signal was the product of “strong parent and community engagement” and thanked Councilmember Price’s office for finding discretionary funding.

“Students already back in school, about a week and a half ago, so I urge LADOT and the office, to make sure that this is implemented as soon as possible,” Coronado said.

Members of community group ACE and Reclaim Our Schools LA described multi-month organizing and signature gathering. One speaker said volunteers collected more than 2,000 signatures calling for a full traffic signal, and another asked that the city meet with the family and confirm a timeline. An ACE organizer asked the council to consider naming the new signal in memory of the student.

Council staff later placed the broader package of items that included the intersection funding on the consent list for votes 35 through 38; the clerk recorded the consolidated vote and reported ayes for the items. The council did not include a detailed implementation timeline during the meeting; community members requested a follow-up meeting to confirm schedule and technical details with LADOT and the council office.

The council did not specify dollar amounts for the discretionary funding on the floor during public comment; community speakers credited Councilmember Price’s office for identifying “necessary discretionary funding.”","The City Council approved funding to install a full traffic signal at an intersection near Carver Middle School following sustained community pressure after a student’s death.

The appointment is intended to guide the historic El Pueblo marketplace’s recovery and programming. In brief remarks to the council, Lynch said she hopes to “tap into” the site’s past vibrancy and make it “a place of belonging.” She said her 25 years of coalition-building and fundraising experience — including work at the Aspen Institute — prepared her to lead efforts to increase visitation and private support.

Councilmember Eunisses Jurado, the Arts, Parks, Library and Community Enrichment Committee chair, introduced Lynch and urged colleagues to support the nomination. Lynch thanked Jurado and other committee members for a “really thoughtful, committee review” and said she looks forward to partnering with merchants, cultural leaders and community stakeholders.

Lynch asked councilmembers to increase personal engagement with El Pueblo, urging members to “please, please, 1 day a month, come break bread with us” and to bring guests so each district can reestablish ties to the site. She also highlighted timelines connected to upcoming large events and said staff are preparing for those demands.

The council opened and closed the roll and recorded 15 ayes on the confirmation vote.

The appointment gives Lynch authority to manage day-to-day operations of El Pueblo subject to existing municipal rules and the oversight of the Pueblo commissioners and the council. Lynch said fundraising and partnership-building will be priorities; she did not provide specific dollar figures or a hiring timeline during her remarks.

The council then proceeded to other consent and calendar items.","The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously to confirm Dominica Lynch as general manager of El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument. Lynch described plans to rebuild the site as a “campus of connection” and asked councilmembers to increase engagement and fundraising ahead of major events including the World Cup and Olympics.","actionData","errors"]
