This is the City Clerk's status for the council file itself, not the outcome of the measure. A file often stays open after the Council has already adopted an item. The summary above reflects the latest recorded action.

Brief

The Mayor nominated John Wirfs for reappointment to the El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument Authority for a term ending June 30, 2026. The Arts, Parks, and City Facilities Committee approved the appointment in September 2026, and the full Council voted 11-0-4 to adopt it on September 18, 2026. The appointment is now final.

Full summary

This file tracks the appointment and successive reappointments of John Wirfs to the El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument Authority. The Mayor first appointed Wirfs in May 2021 to fill a vacancy created by Sal DiCostanzo's resignation, with an initial term ending June 30, 2022. The Arts, Parks, Health, Education, and Neighborhoods Committee approved that appointment in June 2021, and the full Council adopted it the same month. In July 2022, the Mayor submitted a reappointment for Wirfs covering a new term ending June 30, 2026. The committee approved it in August 2022, and Council adopted it on August 24, 2022. The most recent action came in August 2026, when the Mayor submitted a further reappointment for Wirfs, this time for a term ending June 30, 2030. The file was rereferred to the Arts, Parks, and City Facilities Committee following an administrative reorganization. At its September 16, 2026 meeting, the committee voted unanimously — Rodriguez, Nazarian, and Yaroslavsky all in favor — to recommend confirmation. The committee noted that Wirfs resides in Council District 1 and that his financial disclosure statement had been filed; no community impact statements were submitted. The full Council confirmed the reappointment on September 18, 2026 by a vote of 11-0-4. With that vote, Wirfs is confirmed to serve on the Authority's nine-member board, which currently comprises four men and five women, through June 2030.
