The proposal would trigger a vote on the council presidency vote on Tuesday. If approved, Harris-Dawson would fill the council's top leadership post on Sept. 20.
Marqueece Harris-Dawson has secured enough backing from his colleagues to become the next president of the Los Angeles City Council. On Friday, seven council members introduced a motion calling for Harris-Dawson to fill the post, giving him the required eight-member majority, once his own vote is included.
Those members — Hernandez, Raman and Soto-Martínez — opposed a recent package of raises for LAPD officers and, on Thursday, voted no on Bass' budget. As president, Harris-Dawson could place those members on the council's powerful budget committee, giving them greater freedom to rework the mayor's spending plan from the moment it is released.
