The City Council Friday delayed a vote on City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto’s request to hire a “monitor” who would track the city’s progress and use of funds under a federal lawsuit settlement requiring 12,915 shelter beds by June 2027.

The City Council is expected to revisit the matter Wednesday. Feldstein Soto has proposed contracting with former City Controller Ron Galperin and data analyst Daniel Garrie to serve jointly as the monitor in the L.A. Alliance case.

In June, a federal court judge determined that the city failed to meet its obligations under a settlement agreement with the L.A. Alliance for Human Rights. U.S. District Judge David Carter ordered city officials to provide an updated plan detailing how it will create 12,915 beds for homeless residents within two years.
