Full summary

West Third Street Partnership, LLC has sued the City of Los Angeles in Los Angeles Superior Court, and a court judgment has already been entered in the case. City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto, through Deputy City Attorney Grant Hutchins, is asking the City Council to meet in closed session to receive legal advice about a settlement offer and to determine what action the City should take in response to that judgment. The request is made under California Government Code Section 54956.9(d)(1), which authorizes closed-session discussions involving pending litigation. The case falls within Council District 5. The specific terms of the settlement offer and the nature of the underlying dispute are not disclosed in the public record, which is typical for active litigation matters. The closed-session process allows council members to confer privately with legal counsel before taking any public action on settlement or next steps. The file's referral to the Budget and Finance Committee suggests the matter carries potential financial exposure for the City. The City Attorney's report was submitted on September 10, 2026, and referred to the Budget and Finance Committee the following day. As of the most recent activity, no council vote or committee recommendation has been recorded. The file remains open and expires on September 10, 2028.
