Attendance and votes

No member voted no on any of the 13 roll calls in the Clerk’s Council Vote (CVVS) records for Sept. 18, 2026.
Eunisses Hernandez, Ysabel Jurado, John Lee and Nithya Raman were recorded absent on items 1 to 11, which passed 11-0; all 15 members voted on items 12 and 13 (CF 25-1499). Counts are our tally of the CVVS roll calls.
The Council Journal records the same outcome and tally for each of the 13 items as the CVVS records. Its attendance lines conflict with those item votes. The opening roll call names all 15 members but gives the count as 11, and the ending roll call lists Hernandez, Jurado, Lee and Raman as absent, though the Journal records all 15 members voting on items 12 and 13.

3. JCI Jones Chemicals Harbor Gateway facility study

Who brought it: Adrin Nazarian, seconded by John Lee (CF 25-1499).
Amendment: Amending Motion 12C by Nazarian replaced one recommendation with a request that FilmLA rename the “spot check” fee to reflect its administrative nature and report in 30 days.
