LOS ANGELES—Los Angeles City Councilman Joe Buscaino’s plan to clean up homeless encampments in his district was slowed by the city council and sent to the Homelessness and Poverty Committee Dec. 1.

An ordinance passed earlier this year banned homeless encampments in the public right-of-way; however, a city council vote is required before the ban can be enforced.
