- The economic study, due to the City Council no later than June 30, will examine the proposed venue changes, added sports, and lessons from the 2024 Paris Games, while the L.A. City Council is expected to vote on the updated venue plan on Friday, and the International Olympic Committee executive board is scheduled to confirm the final plan on April 9, with several venue placements still to be announced.
