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.




Thursday - May 21, 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.

 MOTION

 Los Angeles is synonymous with Hollywood. For well over a century, the City
 has served as the backdrop for the development of the film and television industry, from
•the nascent days of Charlie Chaplin and Mary Pickford, to the modern era of summer
 blockbusters and digital streaming. As the film and television industry has grown
 hand-in-hand with Los Angeles over the past hundred years, the industry's success is
 integral to the continued health of the City.

 The City has a long history of supporting production efforts. Permitting for
filming is coordinated by FilmLA, a non-profit organization contracted by the City, and
further supported by many City_ Departments, including Public Works bureaus, the
Department of Recreation and Parks, ·. Police, Fire, Transportation, and more.
Additionally, the City Council has successfully advocated for enhanced State tax credits
that have encouraged productions to stay in California and support our local economy.

 The industry has experienced a steep decline in production over the last several
years, driven by macroeconomic trends and aggressive national and international
competition. These changes have a measurable impact on our local economy, small
businesses, job market, tax base, and tourism. City processes that were once sufficient
for film activities now require revision to meet modem standards and needs. Council ha_s
worked to mitigate challenges faced by the industry, and as it explores additional actions
and legislation, it would be beneficial to have these considered by a committee
dedicated to film, television, and creative industry issues.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council hereby resolve to create an Ad Hoc
Committee on Film, Entertainment, and Creative Industry to review and coordinate all
matters related to film, television, and creative content production, including but not
limited to policy, regulation, development, and stimulus of associated activities, such as
permitting, location filming, use of City facilities, post-production, streamlining of City
processes, initiatives governing industry and community relations, green production
initiatives, departmental oversight and film contract oversight, marketing Los Angeles
as an entertainment hub, protection of public safety, and inter-agency policy
collaboration; with said Committee to include up to three members.

 I FURTHER MOVE that the City Clerk be instructed to re-refer all current
pending files related to film and television production to the new Ad Hoc
Committee.

 AD HOC COMMITTEE ON THE 2028
 OLYMPIC AND PARAOLYMPIC GAMES
 MOTION

Los Angeles has long been considered one of the most successful Olympic host cities in history because
of the way it combined financial success and lasting community impact. The city first hosted the Summer
Olympics in 1932 during the Great Depression and impressed the world with innovations such as the first
modem Olympic Village for athletes. It was the 1984 Summer Olympics that trnly transformed Los
Angeles's reputation. Unlike many Olympic Games that left host cities with large debts, the 1984 Games
generated a surplus of more than $200 million through private funding, sponsorships, and television rights
deals. Organizers relied heavily on existing stadiums and infrastructure instead of building expensive new
venues, creating a model that many later Olympic cities attempted to follow and became the blueprint for
the 2028 Olympic Games.

The success of the Los Angeles Olympics also extended beyond finances. The 1984 Games boosted
tourism, showcased the city's global image, and helped expand youth sports programs through the
creation of the LA84 Foundation, which continues to fund athletic opportunities for children across
Southern California. These achievements were why Los Angeles was awarded the 2028 Summer
Olympics, making it one of the few cities to host the Games three times. The decision reflected
confidence in the city's proven ability to organize large international events efficiently while creating a
positive long-term legacy.

Hosting the Olympic games comes with a great risk to cities. Before hosting the 1984 Summer Olympics,
voters in Los Angeles approved a ballot measure that limited the financial risk to taxpayers and helped
make the Games possible. Many Los Angeles residents were concerned about public spending on the
Olympics. In response, organizers agreed that no city tax money would be used to cover potential losses
from the Games unless voters approved it. The ballot played an important role in securing support for the
1984 Olympics and became one of the reasons the Games were later viewed as a major financial success.

It is critical that the residents of Los Angeles are protected from any over spends as part of the 2028
Olympic Games. To ensure that the 2028 Olympic Games are a financial success and for future
generations to have a blueprint if the games shall ever return to Los Angeles it is critical that an
independent audit of LA28 is completed by a neutral 3rd party prior to LA28 being dissolved.

I THEREFORE MOVE that Council directs the Chief Legislative Analyst, with the assistance of the City
Administrative Officer, to bid and award an independent 3rd party auditor to conduct a fiscal audit of the
LA28 organization in 2026 and prior to the dissolution of the organization.

I FURTHER MOVE that Council directs LA28 to finance the independent audit.

 MOTION

In 2024, Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law Senate Bill (SB) 969 (Wiener), which
significantly expands the authority of cities to designate Entertainment Zones, which are areas
where, under specific conditions set by the local jurisdiction, people can purchase alcohol from
licensed businesses and consume it outdoors within a defined zone in the public right of way (e.g.,
on streets or plazas). In practice, cities typically limit it to specific hours or tie it to special events
such as game days, community festivals or designated activation periods.

Under SB 969 any city, county, or city and county may establish an Entertainment Zone by
ordinance. The bill outlines clear safeguards, including:

 • Requiring cities to notify and solicit feedback from local law enforcement on the zone's
 boundaries, hours of operation, and safety measures.
 • Requiring all persons in possession of alcoholic beverages in the zone to be readily
 identifiable as 21 years of age or older.
 • Mandating that cities review the operation of each zone every two years and provide
 reports to the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) upon request.

This legislation enables local governments to stimulate economic development and cultural
vibrancy by creating regulated outdoor social environments. This new authority presents a timely
opportunity for the City to support small businesses, tourism, nightlife, and cultural events,
particularly in Downtown Los Angeles, where the strong hospitality and tourism networks have
experienced significant economic hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation, and
declining foot traffic.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council instruct the Planning Department in consultation

 MOTION

Urban forests serve as essential green infrastructure that help combat the urban heat island
effect, reduce air pollutants, and manage stormwater runoff while enhancing community
well-being.

For twenty years, the City has maintained a strategic partnership with City Plants, a small
nonprofit organization to assist in convening and coordinating across a network of nonprofit
partners that provide tree-related programming to help us mitigate climate change.

City Plants has functioned as a primary liaison for City staff, helped develop unified materials
and messaging, convened local expertise to advance pilot programs, secured funding, and
managed key research efforts and reports.

City Plants was originally created through a partnership with Community Partners in 2006 to
support the Million Trees LA initiative and reaffirmed through a subsequent Memorandum of
Understanding with Community Partners, rebranding the program to serve broader urban
forestry efforts.

While the City continues to rely on this partnership, the organization has experienced persistent
financial volatility and structural uncertainty. Consequently, the functions executed by City Plants
remain vital to the City, but may require a different structure to ensure long-term sustainability.

Analysis is needed to identify a structure that would be more appropriate to best improve the
tree planting needs for the City of Los Angeles.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), with support from the
Department of City Planning's Office of Forest Management and the City Attorney, report back
with an analysis of options to in-source, contract, and/or otherwise sustainably fund the
functions currently performed by City Plants, including recommendations for a more efficient and
streamlined structure to support the City's urban forest goals.
