The Los Angeles City public-safety panel approved a broad consent agenda, asked the city attorney to draft an ordinance amending the municipal code and updating the fire code to the 2025 edition, and confirmed a mayoral appointment.

At the start of the meeting the chair proposed deferring agenda item 4 to an indeterminate date and placing items 2–3 and 5–14 on the consent agenda. The chair said the panel would approve reports for items 3 and 8, accept transportation committee recommendations for items 5–7, approve donations (items 9–11), and in item 12 ask the city attorney to prepare an ordinance to amend Article 7, Chapter 5 of the municipal code and replace the fire code with the 2025 edition with specified modifications. The chair also proposed approving payment of a reward for a crash investigation (item 13) and accepting and filing item 14.

With no protests, the panel proceeded to a roll call vote. The chair recorded Councilmember Lee voting yes, Councilmember Press voting yes, the other councilmember names were recorded in the transcript as present and voting yes, and Councilmember Soto Martínez recorded absent. The chair stated the consent items were approved with four votes in favor.

The panel then considered item 1: a mayoral appointment to the police permits panel. The chair invited the nominee to speak. The appointee introduced herself as Samantha Berg, said she was born and raised in Los Angeles City, described a decade of service on a neighborhood development council, noted family experience in public safety and participation in a cadet/cadet-like program, and said she would balance public safety with community responsibility.

Councilmembers thanked Berg for her service during recent wildfire response work and indicated support. The chair recommended approval of the appointment to the police permits panel with a term ending June 30, 2026. The roll call on the appointment mirrored the consent vote: Councilmember Lee yes, Councilmember Press yes, other councilmembers listed in the transcript yes, Councilmember Park yes, and Councilmember Soto Martínez absent; the appointment passed with four votes in favor.

The meeting adjourned with no further business.
