The Los Angeles City Council on April 25 completed votes on multiple agenda items, including adoption of a modification to a bond issuance for a Japanese museum and several routine items.

Votes taken and outcomes recorded on the floor included: item 1 (issuance of bonds, described in public comment as a refinancing/issuance related to a Japanese museum project) was taken as modified and approved, 11 in favor. Items 2, 3, 5, 8, 9 and 12 were recorded as approved with 12 votes in favor. Items 14 and 16 were recorded as approved with 12 votes in favor. Item 11 was recorded as approved with 11 votes in favor and 1 vote against. Item 6 (adoption of the proposed finance report) was recorded as approved with 13 votes in favor. Item 10, taken with a technical modification, was recorded as approved with 11 votes in favor.

Several of the items were taken with no substantive debate on the floor; the council clerk (actuario) opened and closed the roll calls for a series of consent items, producing the tallies the clerk read into the record. Public comment preceding the item-1 vote included supporters and opponents who urged the council to consider budget priorities while also supporting the museum; speakers identified an authorization not to exceed $12,000,000 during public comment.

Where the transcript records the roll call totals, the clerk announced the counts on the public record; the council then proceeded to later items, including a land-conservation and development compromise described by a councilmember as preserving one-third of a property in perpetuity and developing the remainder.

The council set additional items for referral and continued multiple items to future dates during the meeting. Where vote tallies were read into the record, counts above reflect the clerk’s reading during the meeting and are reported here as stated on the record.
