Council extends interim appointment for Convention Center general manager to Aug. 10 after reconsideration

The Los Angeles City Council reconsidered the interim appointment of George Reikus as general manager of the Los Angeles Convention Center and approved an extension with a review date of August 10.

Council members noted the item had previously been extended in committee to July 9 and that the appointment had been interim for more than two years. After discussion about whether to extend for 30 or 60 days and a request for an interim report, a motion to set the new review date of August 10 was put forward and the clerk recorded a roll-call vote of 14 "yes." The council directed that the committee report be prepared and sent forward.

The transcript records the motion to extend and the tabulated vote; no further action or additional conditions on the extension are recorded in the provided record.
