How to read the votes. Absent is not a No: a member recorded absent did not vote. The Clerk records an empty seat as absent; it is shown here as a vacant seat, not as anyone's absence. The Clerk's own tally, printed as (Ayes - Noes - Absent), counts vacant seats as absent. The vote values the Clerk records are Yes, No and Absent only.
Roll calls from the City Clerk's Council Vote Viewing System (CVVS), with meeting dates from its search results, and checked member by member against the Council File Management System (CFMS), which also supplies the file title, meeting type and the action recorded. Payments from the LA Controller's Checkbook LA (pggv-e4fn). All council files behind City payments.
