Council Meeting Public Comment Process
All Council and Council Committee meetings are open to the public, with the exception of "closed session" meeting items. Members of the public may comment on agenda items either at Council Committee meetings or Council meetings. If public comment on an agenda item is not heard in Committee, an opportunity for public comment will be provided during the Council meeting.
The Los Angeles City Council will take public comment in-person in the Council chamber and via teleconference for its Council meetings.
Members of the public who wish to offer public comment to the Council in person should register their intent to speak at the speaker kiosk located inside and outside the Council chambers, as well as throughout the building. Instructions for public comment via teleconference are available on the cover of each Council meeting agenda.
Members of the public may submit written comment for a Council file by going to lacouncilcomment.com and filling out a form and following the instructions listed on the online form.
Council Meeting Process
The City Council meets Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 10:00 A.M. in the John Ferraro Council Chambers (Room 340) at the Los Angeles City Hall. The City Council meeting agendas contain a brief general description of all items to be considered at the meetings. All past, present, and upcoming Council agendas are available below and in the meeting room on the day of the meeting.
10 out of 15 members of the Council (two-thirds) constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The Council may consider an item not listed on the agenda only if it is determined by a two-thirds (10) vote that the need for action arose after the posting of an agenda. Some items on the agenda may be approved without any discussion in Council due to public comment already taken prior during the committee process, however, any item may be called "special" by a Councilmember for any amendments, comments, or questions.
All amending motions introduced during a Council meeting are posted publicly in the Council chambers and in a public drive. This drive is emptied after each Council meeting and then maintained to show only the amending motions introduced for that specific meeting:
