 Telecommunication Relay Services for the hearing impaired, please see the information below.

 Telecommunication Relay Services

 Telephone communication is one of the most important forms of communication in society today. Due to
 advancements in technology, telephone devices have evolved with new services and capabilities. Individuals who are
 deaf and hard of hearing, and individuals with a speech disability are following these trends and are rapidly migrating
 to more advanced telecommunications methods, both for peer-to-peer and third-party telecommunications relay
 service (TRS) communications. Telecommunications Relay Service is a telephone service that allows persons with
 hearing or speech disabilities to place and receive telephone calls. TRS is available in all 50 states, the District of
 Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. territories for local and/or long distance calls. TRS providers - generally telephone
 companies - are compensated for the costs of providing TRS from either a state or a federal fund. There is no cost to
 the TRS user.

 What forms of TRS are available? There are several forms of TRS, depending on the particular needs of the user and
 the equipment available: TRS includes: Text to Voice TIY-Based TRS; Speech-to-Speech Relay Service; Shared Non-
 English Language Relay Service; Captioned Telephone Relay Service; Internet Protocol Relay Service; and Video
 Relay Service. Please visit this site for detail descriptions, https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/telecommunications-
 relay-service-trs.

 Don't hang up! Some people hang up on TRS calls because they think the CA is a telemarketer. If you hear, "Hello.
 This is the relay service .. . " when you pick up the phone, please don't hang up! You are about to talk, through a TRS
 provider, to a person who is deaf, hard-of-hearing, or has a speech disability.

 For more information about FCC programs to promote access to telecommunications services for people with
 disabilities, visit the FCC's Disability Rights Office website.

 BASIC CITY COUNCIL MEETING RULES

 AGENDAS - The City Council meets Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at 10:00 A.M. The agendas for City Council
 meetings contain a brief general description of those items to be considered at the meetings. Council Agendas are
 available in the Office of the City Clerk, Council and Public Services Division, Room 395, City Hall, 200 North Spring
 Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012, and on the City's website at lacity.gov or lacouncilcalendar.com.

 Ten (10) members of the Council constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The Council may consider an
 item not listed on the agenda only if it is determined by a two-thirds (10) vote that the need for action arose after the
 posting of an Agenda. Some items on the agenda may be approved without any discussion, however, any item may
 be called "special" by a Councilmember. If an item is called "special" it will be "held" until the remainder of the items on
 the Council agenda have been acted on by the Council. An item may also be called "special" if a member of the public
 has requested to speak on the item and a public hearing was not previously held.

 The City Clerk will announce the items to be considered by the Council, however items will be grouped. For example,
 all items for which required public hearings have not previously been held are listed in one section on the printed
 agenda. The Council President will ask if any Councilmember or member or the public wishes to speak on one or
 more of these items. If anyone wishes to speak on an item, it will be called "special". The remaining items in this
 section will be voted on by Council with one roll call vote.

 PUBLIC INPUT AT CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS - An opportunity for the public to address the Council on agenda
 items for which public hearings have not been held will be provided at the time the item is considered or during the
 Multiple Agenda Item Comment period. Members of the public who wish to speak on items shall be allowed to speak
 for up to one minute per item up to a total of three minutes per meeting. The Council has determined that a cumulative
 total of 20 minutes is a reasonable minimum amount of time for the Multiple Agenda Item segment of each regular
 meeting.

 The Council will also provide an opportunity for the public to speak on public interest items. Each speaker shall be
 limited to one minute of general public comment each regular meeting for a cumulative total of ten (10) minutes. The
 Council shall not discuss or take action relative to any general public comment.

 If you wish to provide documents to the full Council for consideration on an item, please present the Sergeant-At-Arms
 with 35 copies. Otherwise, your materials will simply be added to the official record.

 NOTICE TO PAID REPRESENTATIVES - If you are compensated to monitor, attend, or speak at this meeting, City
 law may require you to register as a lobbyist and report your activity. See Los Angeles Municipal Code 48.01 et seq.
 More information is available at ethics.lacity.org/lobbying. For assistance, please contact the Ethics Commission at
 (213) 978-1960 or ethics.commission@lacity.org.

 COUNCIL DISCUSSION AND TIME LIMITS - Councilmembers requesting to address the Council will be recognized
 by the Council President in the order requested. For any item, the Chairperson of the Committee, or the maker of the
 original motion, or the member calling a matter "special" shall have up to six (6) minutes to discuss the item. All other
 Councilmembers may speak up to three (3) minutes each on the matter. After all members desiring to speak on a
 question have had an opportunity to be heard once, the time for each Member desiring to speak again shall be limited
 to a maximum of three (3) minutes.

 A motion calling the "previous question" may be introduced by any member during a Council debate. If adopted, this
 motion will terminate debate on a matter and the Chair will instruct the Clerk to call the roll on the matter.




Friday - March 6, 2026 - PAGE 3
 VOTING AND DISPOSITION OF ITEMS - Most items require a majority vote of the entire membership of the Council
 (8 members). Items which have not been discussed in a Council Committee and have been placed directly on the
 agenda will require 10 votes to consider. Once considered, these items will normally require eight (8) affirmative votes
 to be adopted. Ordinances require a unanimous vote (at least 12 members must be present) in order to be adopted on
 first consideration. If an ordinance does not receive the necessary unanimous vote, it is laid over one calendar week.
 The votes required for approval on second consideration vary and depend upon the type of ordinance, but a typical
 ordinance requires eight (8) affirmative votes upon second consideration.

 When debate on an item is completed, the Chair will instruct the Clerk to "call the roll". Every member present must
 vote for or against each item; abstentions are not permitted. The Clerk will announce the votes on each item. Any
 member of Council may move to "reconsider" any vote on any item on the agenda, except to adjourn, suspend the
 Rules, or where an intervening event has deprived the Council of jurisdiction, providing that said member originally
 voted on the prevailing side of the item. The motion to "reconsider" shall only be in order once during the meeting, and
 once during the next regular meeting. The member requesting reconsideration shall identify for all members present
 the agenda number, Council file number and subject matter previously voted upon. A motion to reconsider is not
 debatable and shall require an affirmative vote of eight (8) members of the Council.

 When the Council has failed by sufficient votes to approve or reject an item, and has not lost jurisdiction over the
 matter, or has not caused it to be continued beyond the next regular meeting, the item is continued to the next regular
 meeting for the purpose of allowing the Council to again vote on the matter.

 The City Council rules provide that all items adopted by the Council will not be presented to the Mayor, or other
 designated officer by the City Clerk until the adjournment of the regular Council meeting following the date of the
 Council action. A motion to send an item "forthwith" if adopted by ten (10) votes, suspends these rules and requires
 the City Clerk to forward the matter to the Mayor, or other officer, without delay.

 RULE 16 MOTIONS - Council Rule No. 16, in part, allows a member to send an item directly to the Council without it
 having to go to a Council Committee first, by giving the City Clerk a motion (seconded by an additional member)
 during a Council session to be placed on the next regular available Council agenda.

 EXEMPTION and ARTS, PARKS, LIBRARIES, AND COMMUNITY
 ENRICHMENT COMMITTEE REPORT relative to a proposed
 Agreement between the Department of Recreation and Parks (RAP)




Friday - March 6, 2026 - PAGE 10
 and First Choice Vending Inc. for the operation and maintenance of
 vending machine concessions.

 Recommendations for Council action:


 1. FIND that approval of the Agreement is exempt from the
 provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
 pursuant to Article 5, Section 15061(b)(3) [Common sense
 exemption, where it can be seen with certainty that there is no
 possibility that the activity in question may have a significant
 effect on the environment] of California CEQA Guidelines.


 2. FIND the following:

 a. In accordance with Charter Section 1022, that it is
 necessary, feasible, and economical to secure these
 services by contract as the Department of Recreation and
 Parks (RAP) lacks sufficient and necessary personnel to
 undertake these specialized professional services.


 b. Pursuant to Charter Section 371(e)(10), and Los Angeles
 Administrative Code Section 10.15(a)(10), that the use of
 competitive bidding for the services to be provided by First
 Choice Vending Inc. (Concessionaire) would be
 undesirable, impractical or otherwise excused by the
 common law and the Charter because, unlike the
 purchase of a specified product, there is no single
 criterion, such as price comparison, that will determine
 which proposer can best provide the services required by
 the RAP for the operation and maintenance of the vending
 machine concession.


 3. AUTHORIZE the Board of Recreation and Park Commissioners
 (Board), or designee, to execute the proposed Agreement
 between the RAP and Concessionaire for the operation and
 maintenance of vending machine concessions at various parks
 and recreation centers within the City of Los Angeles, for a term
 of five years with two five-year extension options exercisable at
 the sole discretion of the General Manager, RAP, subject to
 review and approval of the City Attorney as to form.




Friday - March 6, 2026 - PAGE 11
 4. INSTRUCT the RAP, prior to execution of the proposed
 Agreement, to ensure that the Concessionaire submit proof of
 current insurance on KwikComply that meets the minimum limits
 as required by the Office of the City Administrative Officer
 (CAO), Risk Management Division.


 5. AUTHORIZE the General Manager, RAP, or designee, to
 execute the Agreement upon receipt of all necessary approvals.


 6. AUTHORIZE the RAP to make any necessary technical
 changes consistent with the Board’s intent in approving the
 proposed Agreement attached to the CAO report dated January
 12, 2026, attached to the Council file.



 Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the Concesionaire will
 pay the RAP 25 percent of gross receipts from vending machine sales
 to the RAP. The RAP’s estimated revenue from sales over the initial
 five-year term is $319,172, based on projections provided by the
 Concessionaire. Ninety percent of the revenues from this concession
 agreement will be deposited into the RAP’s operating fund. The
 remaining ten percent will be deposited into the Concessions
 Improvement Account. There is no additional impact on the General
 Fund. The Concessionaire will submit a monthly concession fee
 payment and report on sales to the RAP. In addition, the
 Concessionaire must submit a statement of gross receipts for each
 individual machine as a supplemental document to the main monthly
 report. If the Concessionaire fails to remit any concession fee
 payments or other fees, charges, or payments required on time, it will
 be considered a material breach of the agreement. The charge for
 late or delinquent payments is $150 for each month late plus interest
 calculated at the rate of 18 percent per year, assessed monthly, on
 the balance of the unpaid amount. The Concessionaire is responsible
 to pay a monthly utility charge equal to $10 per machine, as well as
 $1,000 to guarantee payment of fees and as a damage deposit to be
 used in accordance with the provisions of the agreement.

 Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the
 recommendations in the report complies with the City’s Financial
 Policies in that user charges and fees are set to support the full cost
 of operations for which the fees are charged.

 (8) 24-1454-S1
 ARTS, PARKS, LIBRARIES, AND COMMUNITY ENRICHMENT
 COMMITTEE REPORT relative to a contract with BCI Burke Company,
 LLC for the as-needed purchase and installation of playground and
 sports/recreation equipment, site amenities, tiles, turf, delivery, and
 related products and services.

 Recommendations for Council action:


 1. AUTHORIZE the Department of Recreation and Parks (RAP) to
 enter into a proposed contract (Contract) with BCI Burke
 Company, LLC (Contractor) for the purchase and installation of
 playground and sports/recreation equipment, site amenities,
 shade, tiles and tile surfacing, turf and tiles, as well as delivery
 and related products and services, on an occasional and as-
 needed basis, for a term of four years not-to-exceed
 $5,000,000 per year, with the possibility of up to three additional
 one-year extensions to said Contract, substantially in the form
 attached as Appendix A of the Board of Recreation and Park
 Commissioners (Board) report dated February 5, 2026,
 attached to the Council file, subject to the approval of the City
 Attorney as to form.


 2. FIND the following:

 a. The RAP desires to secure a contract that would allow the
 RAP to purchase and have installed on an as-needed
 basis, playground and sports/recreation equipment, site
 amenities, shade, tiles and tile surfacing, turf and tiles, as
 well as delivery and related products and services for RAP
 facilities (Services); and, the Contractor is experienced in
 providing these Services, and is willing to perform such
 Services.




Friday - March 6, 2026 - PAGE 13
 b. In accordance with Charter Sections 371(e)(2) and 372,
 and Los Angeles Administrative Code Section 10.15(a)(2),
 that it is in the best interest of the RAP and that
 competitive bidding is not practicable or advantageous or
 compatible with the RAP’s interests in having available
 pre-qualified, as-needed contractors as it is necessary for
 the RAP to be able to call on pre-qualified contractors to
 perform this expert, technical work as-needed and on an
 occasional, but frequent, basis with each individual project
 being awarded on the basis of availability of an as-needed
 contractor to perform the work, the price to be charged
 and the unique expertise of the Contractor.


 c. Pursuant to Charter Section 371(e)(8), that the City, in lieu
 of undertaking its own competitive bidding or proposal
 process, may purchase the Services using Master
 Agreement No. 101625-BUR between Contractor and
 Sourcewell (Sourcewell Contract), attached as Appendix B
 of said Board report; Sourcewell is a public agency
 serving as a national municipal contracting agency
 established under the Service Cooperative statute by
 Minnesota Legislative Statute Section 123A.21 with the
 authority to develop and offer, among other services,
 cooperative procurement services to its membership,
 because contracts for cooperative arrangements with
 other governmental agencies for the utilization of the
 purchasing contracts and professional, scientific, expert or
 technical services contracts of those agencies and any
 implementing agreements are an exception to the City’s
 competitive bidding requirements.


 d. In accordance with Charter Section 371(e)(10), that use of
 competitive bidding would be undesirable, impractical or
 impossible or is otherwise excused by the common law
 and the Charter because, unlike the purchase of a
 specified product, there is no single criterion, such as
 price comparison, that will determine which proposer can
 best provide the Services required by the RAP.


 e. In accordance with Charter Section 1022, that the RAP
 does not have available in its employ, personnel with
 sufficient time or necessary expertise to undertake the




Friday - March 6, 2026 - PAGE 14
 Services in a timely manner, and it is more feasible,
 economical and in the RAP’s best interest, to secure these
 Services by the Contractor on an as-needed basis.


 f. The letter dated January 12, 2026, attached as Appendix
 C of said Board report, from Contractor authorizes the
 RAP as a Participating Public Agency to utilize the
 Sourcewell Contract for the purchase and installation of
 playground and sports/recreation equipment, site
 amenities, shade, tiles and tile surfacing, turf and tiles, as
 well as delivery and related products and services.


 3. AUTHORIZE the RAP, at the discretion of the General Manager,
 to exercise up to three one-year extensions of said Contract,
 should Sourcewell and the Contractor agree to exercise this
 option to extend until December 17, 2029, as authorized in
 Section 1 of the Sourcewell Contract.


 4. AUTHORIZE the RAP to make technical corrections as
 necessary to carry out the intent of said Board report.


 5. AUTHORIZE the President and Secretary, Board, to execute
 the proposed Contract upon receipt of all necessary approvals.



 Fiscal Impact Statement: The Board reports that the acceptance of
 use of the Sourcewell Contract No. 101625-BUR with BCI Burke
 Company, LLC – Award of Contract would not impact the RAP’s
 General Fund

 COMMITTEE REPORT relative to a finding of infeasibility for the




Friday - March 6, 2026 - PAGE 15
 Phase III Reclaimed Water portion of the defined scope for the Griffith
 Park Ferraro Soccer Fields (Fields) specified project in Council District
 Four.




Friday - March 6, 2026 - PAGE 16
 Recommendations for Council action:


 1. DETERMINE that the Reclaimed Water portion of the scope
 defined for the Griffith Park Ferraro Soccer Fields (R12) project,
 as specified in the 1996 Proposition K Ballot Measure (Ballot
 Measure), is infeasible for the reasons described below, as
 further detailed in the Proposition K – L.A. For Kids Steering
 (LAFKSC) Committee report dated February 3, 2026, attached
 to the Council file:

 a. The Department of Water and Power (DWP) has altered
 their approach to providing reclaimed water to sites
 throughout Los Angeles, and now encourages on-site
 reclamation of water.


 b. The DWP Reclaimed Water Pipeline (Purple Pipe) system
 does not extend to the Fields and the DWP does not
 intend to fund an extension of the Purple Pipe from the
 Los Angeles Glendale Water Treatment Plant Purple Pipe
 to the Fields.


 c. The vast majority of the Fields have been converted to
 synthetic soccer fields, which reduces the overall total
 landscaped area at the park that can benefit from a
 reclaimed water system.


 d. Constructing a new reclaimed water system within the
 Fields, absent a DWP connection to provide reclaimed
 water to the site, would render the improvements unable
 to be utilized for an unknown period of time and therefore
 would constitute an unnecessary use of assessment
 funds.


 2. ACKNOWLEDGE that the remainder of the specified project
 scope has been previously completed, as further detailed in
 said LAFKSC report.


 3. DETERMINE that no additional alternatives have been
 identified that would satisfy the legal requirements of the Ballot
 Measure within the remaining timeline of the Proposition K –

 EXEMPTION and ARTS, PARKS, LIBRARIES, AND COMMUNITY
 ENRICHMENT COMMITTEE REPORT relative to a proposed
 Agreement between the Department of Recreation and Parks (RAP)
 and First Choice Vending Inc. for the operation and maintenance of
 vending machine concessions.

 Recommendations for Council action:


 1. FIND that approval of the Agreement is exempt from the
 provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
 pursuant to Article 5, Section 15061(b)(3) [Common sense
 exemption, where it can be seen with certainty that there is no
 possibility that the activity in question may have a significant
 effect on the environment] of California CEQA Guidelines.


 2. FIND the following:

 a. In accordance with Charter Section 1022, that it is
 necessary, feasible, and economical to secure these
 services by contract as the Department of Recreation and
 Parks (RAP) lacks sufficient and necessary personnel to
 undertake these specialized professional services.


 b. Pursuant to Charter Section 371(e)(10), and Los Angeles
 Administrative Code Section 10.15(a)(10), that the use of
 competitive bidding for the services to be provided by First
 Choice Vending Inc. (Concessionaire) would be
 undesirable, impractical or otherwise excused by the
 common law and the Charter because, unlike the




Friday - March 6, 2026 - PAGE 8
 purchase of a specified product, there is no single
 criterion, such as price comparison, that will determine
 which proposer can best provide the services required by
 the RAP for the operation and maintenance of the vending
 machine concession.


 3. AUTHORIZE the Board of Recreation and Park Commissioners
 (Board), or designee, to execute the proposed Agreement
 between the RAP and Concessionaire for the operation and
 maintenance of vending machine concessions at various parks
 and recreation centers within the City of Los Angeles, for a term
 of five years with two five-year extension options exercisable at
 the sole discretion of the General Manager, RAP, subject to
 review and approval of the City Attorney as to form.


 4. INSTRUCT the RAP, prior to execution of the proposed
 Agreement, to ensure that the Concessionaire submit proof of
 current insurance on KwikComply that meets the minimum limits
 as required by the Office of the City Administrative Officer
 (CAO), Risk Management Division.


 5. AUTHORIZE the General Manager, RAP, or designee, to
 execute the Agreement upon receipt of all necessary approvals.


 6. AUTHORIZE the RAP to make any necessary technical
 changes consistent with the Board’s intent in approving the
 proposed Agreement attached to the CAO report dated January
 12, 2026, attached to the Council file.



 Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the Concesionaire will
 pay the RAP 25 percent of gross receipts from vending machine sales
 to the RAP. The RAP’s estimated revenue from sales over the initial
 five-year term is $319,172, based on projections provided by the
 Concessionaire. Ninety percent of the revenues from this concession
 agreement will be deposited into the RAP’s operating fund. The
 remaining ten percent will be deposited into the Concessions
 Improvement Account. There is no additional impact on the General
 Fund. The Concessionaire will submit a monthly concession fee
 payment and report on sales to the RAP. In addition, the
 Concessionaire must submit a statement of gross receipts for each




Friday - March 6, 2026 - PAGE 9
 individual machine as a supplemental document to the main monthly
 report. If the Concessionaire fails to remit any concession fee
 payments or other fees, charges, or payments required on time, it will
 be considered a material breach of the agreement. The charge for
 late or delinquent payments is $150 for each month late plus interest
 calculated at the rate of 18 percent per year, assessed monthly, on
 the balance of the unpaid amount. The Concessionaire is responsible
 to pay a monthly utility charge equal to $10 per machine, as well as
 $1,000 to guarantee payment of fees and as a damage deposit to be
 used in accordance with the provisions of the agreement.

 Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the
 recommendations in the report complies with the City’s Financial
 Policies in that user charges and fees are set to support the full cost
 of operations for which the fees are charged.

 COMMITTEE REPORT relative to a contract with BCI Burke Company,
 LLC for the as-needed purchase and installation of playground and
 sports/recreation equipment, site amenities, tiles, turf, delivery, and
 related products and services.

 Recommendations for Council action:


 1. AUTHORIZE the Department of Recreation and Parks (RAP) to
 enter into a proposed contract (Contract) with BCI Burke
 Company, LLC (Contractor) for the purchase and installation of
 playground and sports/recreation equipment, site amenities,




Friday - March 6, 2026 - PAGE 10
 shade, tiles and tile surfacing, turf and tiles, as well as delivery
 and related products and services, on an occasional and as-
 needed basis, for a term of four years not-to-exceed
 $5,000,000 per year, with the possibility of up to three additional
 one-year extensions to said Contract, substantially in the form
 attached as Appendix A of the Board of Recreation and Park
 Commissioners (Board) report dated February 5, 2026,
 attached to the Council file, subject to the approval of the City
 Attorney as to form.


 2. FIND the following:

 a. The RAP desires to secure a contract that would allow the
 RAP to purchase and have installed on an as-needed
 basis, playground and sports/recreation equipment, site
 amenities, shade, tiles and tile surfacing, turf and tiles, as
 well as delivery and related products and services for RAP
 facilities (Services); and, the Contractor is experienced in
 providing these Services, and is willing to perform such
 Services.


 b. In accordance with Charter Sections 371(e)(2) and 372,
 and Los Angeles Administrative Code Section 10.15(a)(2),
 that it is in the best interest of the RAP and that
 competitive bidding is not practicable or advantageous or
 compatible with the RAP’s interests in having available
 pre-qualified, as-needed contractors as it is necessary for
 the RAP to be able to call on pre-qualified contractors to
 perform this expert, technical work as-needed and on an
 occasional, but frequent, basis with each individual project
 being awarded on the basis of availability of an as-needed
 contractor to perform the work, the price to be charged
 and the unique expertise of the Contractor.


 c. Pursuant to Charter Section 371(e)(8), that the City, in lieu
 of undertaking its own competitive bidding or proposal
 process, may purchase the Services using Master
 Agreement No. 101625-BUR between Contractor and
 Sourcewell (Sourcewell Contract), attached as Appendix B
 of said Board report; Sourcewell is a public agency
 serving as a national municipal contracting agency
 established under the Service Cooperative statute by




Friday - March 6, 2026 - PAGE 11
 Minnesota Legislative Statute Section 123A.21 with the
 authority to develop and offer, among other services,
 cooperative procurement services to its membership,
 because contracts for cooperative arrangements with
 other governmental agencies for the utilization of the
 purchasing contracts and professional, scientific, expert or
 technical services contracts of those agencies and any
 implementing agreements are an exception to the City’s
 competitive bidding requirements.


 d. In accordance with Charter Section 371(e)(10), that use of
 competitive bidding would be undesirable, impractical or
 impossible or is otherwise excused by the common law
 and the Charter because, unlike the purchase of a
 specified product, there is no single criterion, such as
 price comparison, that will determine which proposer can
 best provide the Services required by the RAP.


 e. In accordance with Charter Section 1022, that the RAP
 does not have available in its employ, personnel with
 sufficient time or necessary expertise to undertake the
 Services in a timely manner, and it is more feasible,
 economical and in the RAP’s best interest, to secure these
 Services by the Contractor on an as-needed basis.


 f. The letter dated January 12, 2026, attached as Appendix
 C of said Board report, from Contractor authorizes the
 RAP as a Participating Public Agency to utilize the
 Sourcewell Contract for the purchase and installation of
 playground and sports/recreation equipment, site
 amenities, shade, tiles and tile surfacing, turf and tiles, as
 well as delivery and related products and services.


 3. AUTHORIZE the RAP, at the discretion of the General Manager,
 to exercise up to three one-year extensions of said Contract,
 should Sourcewell and the Contractor agree to exercise this
 option to extend until December 17, 2029, as authorized in
 Section 1 of the Sourcewell Contract.


 4. AUTHORIZE the RAP to make technical corrections as
 necessary to carry out the intent of said Board report.




Friday - March 6, 2026 - PAGE 12
 5. AUTHORIZE the President and Secretary, Board, to execute
 the proposed Contract upon receipt of all necessary approvals.

 COMMITTEE REPORT relative to a finding of infeasibility for the
 Phase III Reclaimed Water portion of the defined scope for the Griffith
 Park Ferraro Soccer Fields (Fields) specified project in Council District
 Four.

 Recommendations for Council action:


 1. DETERMINE that the Reclaimed Water portion of the scope
 defined for the Griffith Park Ferraro Soccer Fields (R12) project,
 as specified in the 1996 Proposition K Ballot Measure (Ballot
 Measure), is infeasible for the reasons described below, as
 further detailed in the Proposition K – L.A. For Kids Steering
 (LAFKSC) Committee report dated February 3, 2026, attached
 to the Council file:




Friday - March 6, 2026 - PAGE 13
 a. The Department of Water and Power (DWP) has altered
 their approach to providing reclaimed water to sites
 throughout Los Angeles, and now encourages on-site
 reclamation of water.


 b. The DWP Reclaimed Water Pipeline (Purple Pipe) system
 does not extend to the Fields and the DWP does not
 intend to fund an extension of the Purple Pipe from the
 Los Angeles Glendale Water Treatment Plant Purple Pipe
 to the Fields.


 c. The vast majority of the Fields have been converted to
 synthetic soccer fields, which reduces the overall total
 landscaped area at the park that can benefit from a
 reclaimed water system.


 d. Constructing a new reclaimed water system within the
 Fields, absent a DWP connection to provide reclaimed
 water to the site, would render the improvements unable
 to be utilized for an unknown period of time and therefore
 would constitute an unnecessary use of assessment
 funds.


 2. ACKNOWLEDGE that the remainder of the specified project
 scope has been previously completed, as further detailed in
 said LAFKSC report.


 3. DETERMINE that no additional alternatives have been
 identified that would satisfy the legal requirements of the Ballot
 Measure within the remaining timeline of the Proposition K –
 L.A. for Kids Program.

 to the General Fund as a result of the recommended actions.
