The city Ethics Commission voted Tuesday to impose a $5,000 fine on City Councilman Eric Garcetti and his 2001 campaign for failing to properly file 10 political mailers with the panel.
Garcetti agreed to pay the fine even though he said the failure was inadvertent.
Commission President Gil Garcetti, the councilman’s father, left the room during the panel’s vote.
