Nithya Raman attends first City Council meeting since election

Fox 11's Nick Garcia live from downtown L.A. with how the council interacted with the incoming mayor. Nick. All right, Christine. Well, what we saw today was a complete 180 from most of the council members, the majority of whom had endorsed Bass's, Mayor Bass's, re-election bid, I should say. Some vocally opposing Rahman, but that tone shifted today. Take a look. The 44th mayor of the city of Los Angeles, Councilwoman Nithya Raman. A warm welcome to Nithya Raman at her first city council meeting since winning the mayoral election as her fellow council members praise her victory. We know that everything you have done so far and everything you will do is to make Los Angeles better and we're all here willing to work with you to do our best. I know that there will be areas where we align and there will be areas where we don't but where we mutually agree. Is that this city is the greatest city in the world. As Rahman prepares to usher in a new era at City Hall next month, she says the transition work has already begun. She says her first order of business will be to address homelessness. What we plan to do, and hopefully with the partnership of the council, is to ensure that we are tracking every dollar, filling every bed. And delivering the results that Angelenos deserve across every neighborhood, which is a visible and palpable reduction in the number of tents and encampments on their streets. Which could mean the end of Mayor Bass's flagship and highly criticized Inside Safe program. It may not be called Inside Safe anymore. It may not look exactly the way that that program looks, but encampment resolution will continue. Rahman says she will also tackle improving public transit and says she's committed to collaboration with her soon to be former colleagues. On the city council, the problems facing us are too big. The challenges ahead are too enormous for any of us to do this without one another and without that shared commitment. And by next week, Mayor-elect Rahman says she will start announcing key members of her transition team. Of course, all eyes on her to see how she plans to reshape City Hall here. Live in downtown Los Angeles, I'm Nick Garcia, Fox 11 News. All eyes indeed. All right, thank you.
