2028 OlympicsEunisses HernandezCouncil member · City Council · Aug 12, 2026 · 3:32:18Briefed on this a couple weeks ago, and I have Dodger Stadium in my district, so I want to make sure I get through them. Um, what happens if LA28 dissolves before costs incurred by the city are paid?Open the meeting at 3:32:18
Homelessness and LAHSA“I understand that, and I just want to name that there have been times where I have tried to get flexibility on dollars around some of our homelessness sites for clean teams And I have been denied several times in council.”Eunisses HernandezCouncil member · Budget Hearings · May 15, 2026 · 1:42:59Homelessness and LAHSA“Colleagues, in 2023, the residents of Council District 1 said yes to more interim housing despite having one of the highest concentrations of permanent supportive housing, affordable housing, and interim housing in the entire city.”Eunisses HernandezCouncil member · Budget Hearings · May 7, 2026 · 7:19:202028 Olympics“I would like to request a budget memo that outlines LAPD’s deployment model, uh, for the Olympics, what that cost will be, um, and what will the cost will be to contract with outside agencies to support with that.”Eunisses HernandezCouncil member · Budget Hearings · Apr 29, 2026 · 1:22:31“I want to do a comparison real quick. So you said 4 contractors citywide for $1.3 million. In Council District 1, Jose Correct me if I’m wrong, it’s like we pay a little bit over a million for about 6 clean teams just to service Council District 1.”Eunisses HernandezMember · Public Works Committee · Jan 28, 2026 · 2:05:25“And this will be my final question. Um, when you talked about that, to your assessment of the $200 million deficit that we’ll have, but that translates after we move money from different pots to about $37 million.”Eunisses HernandezCouncil member · Budget and Finance Committee · Mar 23, 2026 · 42:22“We had the opportunity to write those protections into this ordinance And we didn’t. And I have to ask, where was this energy when tenants were facing displacement and rent gouging after the fires?”Eunisses HernandezCouncil member · City Council · Jul 1, 2026 · 3:16:24

How we identify who is speaking · blind check, pooled across five cities: of 410 council lines drawn, 352 right, 0 wrong, 1 unclear, 57 couldn’t be judged

We identified Hernandez’s voice at 88 meetings across six bodies. A meeting missing here means we couldn’t attribute the voice, not that Hernandez was absent. Claude and Gemini each read every transcript with that day’s roster. A voice gets Eunisses Hernandez’s name only when both agree and a code check finds the name said on, or just before, their turn. Voices our transcripts merge with someone else’s are never attributed, so every count here undercounts what Hernandez said. For councils and their committees, of 410 lines drawn, 352 were right, 0 wrong and 1 unclear, and the checkers couldn’t judge 57. We have since removed the voices behind 110 of those lines (0 wrong, 1 unclear, the rest we had already held for other reasons). Of the 300 lines we still publish, the checkers could judge 268: all 268 right (90% lower bound 0.99). They couldn’t judge the other 32. The check is one sample pooled across the five cities, not of Hernandez or of Los Angeles alone.
