City Council lacks a quorum
The City Council’s regularly scheduled 10 a.m. meeting was canceled Tuesday because not enough members showed up to create a quorum.
With only nine of the council’s 15 members in attendance, Council President Eric Garcetti ended the meeting shortly before 10:30 a.m. The move irritated Councilman Dennis Zine, who said he was finishing a regularly scheduled committee meeting in an another part of the building at the time of the cancellation.
Hours later, the council’s Planning and Land Use Management Committee lost its own quorum. Although that panel can meet with only a single council member present, at least one of its public hearings will need to be reheard during a full council meeting.
