The president pro tempore is second in command of the City Council. Price was interested in seeking the council presidency after Nury Martinez resigned last week for her involvement in the City Hall racism scandal, but the council voted 10-0 for Krekorian earlier this week.
"Whether any of us sit in this chair or around the horseshoe, we are all public servants," O'Farrell said while chairing Friday's virtual council meeting from the chamber."Both Paul and Curren are dedicated and very capable leaders. Since Paul was the council's unanimous choice for president, I feel it's important that Curren have the opportunity to serve as pro tem. He'll do a terrific job.
Price attended Friday's council meeting, which took place virtually due to COVID-19 exposure. He did not attend the meetings on Tuesday or Wednesday, stating Tuesday that he"could not support a virtual hearing that silenced the public outcry and shut out Angelenos who continue to reel from this breach of trust."
Price, 71, has been on the council since 2013 and is in his third term representing the 9th District. He chairs the Economic Development and Jobs Committee. Prior to beginning his political career on the Inglewood City Council in 1993, Price was a small business owner and a consultant with the Small Business Administration.
