LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles City Council returns from a two-week recess April 11, and the major item on its first day back will be to decide whether to appoint Heather Hutt to fill out the remainder of former Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas’s 10th District seat, following his recent conviction on federal corruption charges.
Council President Paul Krekorian has announced his intention to have Hutt—who had been filling the seat on a temporary basis—appointed by the council to serve out the remainder of the unexpired term, which runs through December 2024.
