HAPPENING TODAY: With 5 new members set to take part in their first L.A. City Council meeting, uncertainty lingers over Kevin de León's attendance that could again lead to chaos in the chamber - We're live with the latest on ABC7 at 6 a.m.
The council cannot remove a member. There is a recall effort against de León that is in the process of collecting signatures.
Councilwoman Katy Young Yaroslavsky, newly elected to represent the 5th District, said she would stay "because this is my first City Council meeting.''Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez agreed, adding that she planned to "continue to do the work for the people that elected me, and for the oath that I took.''
"This is yet another example of what disqualifies him to lead,'' Soto-Martinez said. "For our city to heal, he must do the right thing and resign.'' Hernandez, whose first meeting will be Tuesday, told the Los Angeles Times that she plans to walk out if de León enters the room. But she said that those planning to leave are trying to make sure the meeting can continue without them, according to The Times.
The council is expected to adopt a resolution to end the city's state of emergency due to COVID-19 at the end of January.
