The Los Angeles City Council approved the following actions during the Oct. 31 meeting (selected items recorded on the transcript):
- Confirmation: Ellis Stanley confirmed as general manager with establishment of salary (item 16) — roll call recorded earlier as 11 ayes on the initial tabulation in the transcript.
- Item 1: Assessment/maintenance of sidewalks on Van Nuys Boulevard near Victory Boulevard — public hearing closed and item approved on the consent roll (recorded aye vote).
- Items 3–11 and items 13–29 (with exceptions noted on the floor) were called and approved as described on the agenda; item 15 was continued 45 days and item 30 was continued to Nov. 1 as recorded in the meeting.
- Special 1: Authorized a reward motion to aid investigation of a July 29 homicide (Ruben Mejia, Sun Valley) — roll call recorded 14 ayes.
- Special 2: Adopted findings and related bond actions needed to proceed with general obligation bond issuance for the library capital program (Budget and Finance committee transmittal required POS and bid sale resolution before distribution to underwriters) — council approved the necessary findings and the bond actions; roll calls recorded.
The transcript shows unanimous or strongly supportive roll-call votes for the listed items; specific tallies recorded in the meeting transcript include 11 ayes for some early tabulations and multiple 14-aye roll calls for later items. The transcript does not include full detail for every consent item (many were acted on as a group), and where the transcript omits ordinance or resolution numbers it lists them as not specified.
