With one sweeping yes vote on June 16, the Beverly Hills City Council approved 25 of 30 items on the consent calendar at its formal meeting. Items approved included: a resolution condemning the actions that lead to the death of George Floyd; an ordinance specifying that either a landlord or tenant will preside over the Rent Stabilization Commission as Vice Chair; and $41.3 million in “blanket purchase orders” for fiscal year 2020/21.
In addition to green lighting a variety of initiatives, the Council also fielded funding requests from the Beverly Hills Conference and Visitors Bureau, the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce and Civic Association, and the Rodeo Drive Committee at both its formal and study session meetings.
