Los Angeles City Charter Section No. 245. Commission and Board Actions - City Council Review.

Actions of Commissions and Boards become final at the expiration of the next five meeting days of the City Council during which the Council has convened in Regular Session, unless City Council acts within that time by a two-thirds vote to bring the Commission or Board action before it for consideration and action. If the Council asserts jurisdiction, the Commission or Board will immediately transmit the action to the City Clerk for review by the Council and the particular action of the Board or Commission is not to be deemed final or approved. The City Clerk, upon receipt of the action, will place the action on the next available Council agenda in accordance with applicable State law and Council rules. If the Council asserts jurisdiction over the action, it may, by a two-thirds vote, veto the action of the Board, but it must make a final decision on the matter before the expiration of the next 21 calendar days from voting to bring the matter before it, or the action of the Commission or Board becomes final.

This section shall not apply to actions by any Commission or Board required to be referred for approval to Council or which have been appealed to Council under other provisions of the Charter, ordinance or statute.
