City Ethics records · Behested payments
What payments have City officials asked others to make?
City officials have reported 2,833 payments of $5,000 or more, totalling $160.1M, that a company, foundation, union or person made at their request, most of them filed as charitable. The reports run from 1999 to September 7, 2026; 2025 had 210 payments totalling $15.1M, and 2026 so far has 102 ($6.9M).
Reading these records
A behested payment is a legal, disclosed request: an official asks someone to give to a charity, a public program or another cause, and reports it on Form 803. How many reports an office files reflects its filing obligations and how often it makes such requests, so counts are not comparable as a measure of anything else. Officials are listed by office and then alphabetically, never ranked. These records show a request and a payment; they do not show that the payor received anything from the City, and a payor that is also a City vendor appears in both sets of records without either one explaining the other.
By year
Payments by the calendar year they were made, each payment counted once even when more than one official reported it.

By official
Every official in the records, by office in the order the City Charter lists them, then alphabetically by surname. Offices are as filed. Each official's summary counts every payment that official reported, so a payment two officials both reported appears under each.

How this works
When a City official asks someone to make a payment of $5,000 or more, the official reports it on California Form 803, which the City Ethics Commission publishes. Each row is one reported payment: who paid, who received it, the official who asked, the date, the amount, and the purpose the filer chose (charitable, governmental or legislative), with a short description.
These reports are separate from campaign-contribution records, which this page does not use. Organizations are named; people are not. A payor or payee filed under a person's name, or whose name cannot be confirmed as an organization's from the name alone, is counted in “individuals and unclassified”, which also holds some companies filed under a bare brand name.
Sources
City Ethics Commission, Behested Payment Reports (data.lacity.org, ybqa-gmkn): payments of $5,000 or more made at the behest of City officials as reported on Form 803. The dataset carries no license in its metadata, and its refresh is listed as “Other”. This page is rebuilt nightly.
What is counted. 3,115 filed rows. 54 repeat a payment the same official had already reported, with the same payor, payee, date, amount, purpose and description on another filing ($1.4M); each is counted once. A further 228 rows report a payment another row already covers (same payor, payee, date and amount), usually because more than one official reported it; citywide totals count it once, and each official's summary keeps it. 17 rows report $0 and 3 a negative amount; both are included as filed. Every row reports an amount. Payment dates run from 1999 (1 payment is dated 1999; the next earliest year is 2003) to September 7, 2026; the latest report was filed September 25, 2026. Filed descriptions are not shown, since free text can name a private person. Links to the filed form are shown only for payments between two organizations.
