(June 13, 2018, 2:40 p.m.) -- Nearing final tally, below are updated figures from L.A. County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk as of June 12, 4:00 p.m. hour.

Measure M

Yes	No
28,601/ 53.38%	24,979 / 46.62%

The numbers above are officially "preliminary" with some still undetermined ballots remaining to be counted

Measure M had a $125,000 campaign war chest in support funded by LB's police and firefighter union PACs. Mayor Garcia and several Councilmembers also used their privately operated social network channels and told constituents that the measure isn't a tax despite its use of the word "tax" in the "whereas" clauses of the resolution the Council approved in putting it on the ballot. City officials also omitted the measure's actual text from the official voter pamphlet and City-produced "informational" materials.
