The Los Angeles City Council handled routine and non-hearing business on Oct. 20, 2000, approving several items and continuing others to later dates.

Key outcomes: item 2 (a noticed public-hearing item) was approved by roll call (11 ayes); item 1 was continued to a second reading one week later. Items 3 and 6b (regular agenda items for which public hearings had been held or closed) were approved (11 ayes). Non-hearing items 9 through 12 were approved (11 ayes). The council continued item 5 to Oct. 27; item 7 to Dec. 12; and item 8 to Nov. 8. The clerk announced approval of the meeting minutes without objection.

These votes were taken during the open session after presentations and public comment. No substantial public testimony was recorded on the items the council approved that day.
