The move is meant to align with LA County and the LAUSD, which have already removed their vaccine requirements.
Councilwoman Traci Park and Council President Paul Krekorian authored the motion, which instructs the city administrative officer and city attorney to report on the feasibility, impact and timeline of ending the mandate. Council members Heather Hutt, Kevin de Leon, John Lee and Curren Price seconded the motion.
She added, "We need a uniform strategy that eliminates public uncertainties. The evolving landscape necessitates a review and potential adjustment of our current policies."Krekorian noted the motion continues ongoing discussion in the Executive and Employee Relations Committee and negotiations with unions representing city employees.
According to the motion, the city took unprecedented steps to "protect the health of its workforce and residents, which included the adoption of a vaccine mandate.
