*Even though it has no jusisdiction over it, the West Hollywood City Council will vote Monday night on a resolution urging the Los Angeles City Council and Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to permanently remove Donald Trump’s walk of fame star, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The marker, which was unveiled in 2007, has been vandalized numerous times and completely destroyed twice to date.Â
“The City Council will consider adopting a resolution urging the Los Angeles City Council and Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to remove President Donald J. Trump’s star from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, due to his disturbing treatment of women and other actions that do not meet the shared values of the City of West Hollywood, the region, state, and country,” reads the agenda item for the Monday meeting.Â
The staff report for the resolution lists numerous reasons for the matter, including the separation of children from their parents at the border, the denial of the impacts from climate change on the word, Trump’s treatment of transgendered individuals and the denial of findings from the intelligence community of Russian interference in the 2016 election, among more.Â
When critics called for the removal of Bill Cosby’s star from the walk of fame amid multiple sexual assault claims leveled against the comedian, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce said it did not remove stars over backlash and cited historical landmark status.Â
Trump’s star was most recently destroyed in late July after 24-year-old Austin Mikel Clay allegedly took a pickaxe to it in the early morning hours. For his actions, he was booked on felony vandalism and jailed on a $20,000 bail. He has since been released.
