Good thread on how LA City Council operates!
Yesterday I supported my colleagues on 3 motions in Council. Two evaluate HHH, the 2016 bond measure to build homeless housing. The third makes LA’s homeless encampment cleanups safer and more collaborative. City policies start with motions. But what happens next? (thread)
If you have ever wondered what "motions" are from @LACityCouncil and how they move forward, this thread is excellent and also covers why Council Committees are important and powerful in making policy!
