Behind the scenes, the search for the next L.A. City Council president is under way

Good morning, and welcome to L.A. on the Record — our City Hall newsletter. It’s David Zahniser, with an assist from Dakota Smith, catching you up on the events of the past week. Los Angeles City Council President Paul Krekorian has about seven months left before he will be forced to leave his post because of term limits. Behind the scenes, his colleagues have already started discussing who should replace him.

On Thursday, the council's budget committee voted to add back nearly 400 jobs, more than half of them at the Bureau of Street Services and the Department of Recreation and Parks. How'd they do it? Chief Legislative Analyst Sharon Tso, the council's top policy advisor, upped the city's tax revenue projections. She also found $16 million in savings by providing updated staffing assumptions for the Los Angeles Police Department.
