LOS ANGELES—A Los Angeles City Council committee voted on June 23 to defer a recommendation regarding the possible suspension of Councilman Curren Price, who faces various criminal charges, until their Aug. 25 meeting.

In the meantime, the committee voted 3–0 to approve a second motion calling for the city to engage constituents of the Ninth District and receive input on Price’s possible suspension.
