But a lawsuit filed by residents on Friday aimed to derail the effort. And a group of citizens sent a letter calling for more discussion with the community, before action is taken.

Los Angeles City Council President Nury Martinez’ proposal to appoint former longtime City Councilman Herb Wesson to the seat vacated by the suspended Mark Ridley-Thomas goes before the council on Tuesday, Feb. 22, amid pushback from some members of the community.

A spokeswoman for Martinez declined comment Friday on the lawsuit, and did not provide an updated response on Monday. Representatives for the City Attorney’s office also declined to comment. Robertson, who described the process as “hasty,” urged that the appointment be slowed down to gather more community input. She and others who signed the Feb. 7 letter requested that before any action is taken, the council president should discuss with them the reinstatement of Ridley-Thomas as 10th district councilman, and “absent his reinstatement, the duration of any appointment” and “transparency between the City Council and the constituents” of the district.

Councilman Mike Bonin also pushed to slow down the process, issuing a statement Friday saying he wanted to see more options presented for filling the vacancy, as well as a report from the City Attorney on the matter. Meanwhile, the lawsuit filed Friday, by supporters of Ridley-Thomas, represents a potential obstacle to the effort to appoint Wesson.
