Requests for reasonable modification or accommodation from individuals with disabilities, consistent with the Americans

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 peer­to­peer and third­party 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 TIY­Based TRS; Speech­to­Speech Relay Service; Shared Non­English
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/telecommunications­relay­service­trs.


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, hard­of­hearing, 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.

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.org; 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 two­thirds (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 Sergeant­At­Arms with
35 copies. Otherwise, your materials will simply be added to the official record.


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.


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.

require you to register as a lobbyist and report your activity. See Los Angeles Municipal Code 48.01 et seq. More

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

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

session to be placed on the next regular available Council agenda.

 Recommendations for Council action:

 definition. Therefore, the Agreement with the USC for a rate
 arrangement is not subject to CEQA.

 MOTION
 On March 4, 2020, the City and State declared a local and state of emergency to address
the global COVID-19 outbreak. A few days later on March 19, 2020, a "Safer at Home" order was
issued by the City to slow the spread of COVID-19. Since May 1, 2020, all Neighborhood Councils
(NCs) in the City have been conducting virtual public meetings online and over the phone utilizing
meeting protocols established by the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment's EmpowerLA
Virtual Governance (EVG) system. The EVG system was developed in response to the COVID-
19 pandemic, which prohibited all private and public gatherings, including temporarily suspending
Neighborhood Council meetings and activities from taking place. The development of the EVG
system allowed NCs to resume their meetings, while still adhering to all local, state, and federal
laws. The EVG system supports and provides an opportunity for NCs to govern in a uniform and
structured virtual environment.

 As the pandemic subsides, some NCs have begun to inquire about future NC operations
and how meetings will be conducted. Some NCs have expressed an interest in resuming in person
meetings, and others have voiced their preference for staying virtual and continuing to use the
EVG system. While other NCs have expressed a preference for a hybrid meeting option. It is clear
that the landscape has changed and that the City should look at all viable options to facilitate NC
operational needs and meetings.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the Department of Neighborhood
Empowerment, with assistance from the City Attorney, to report on viable options for conducting
Neighborhood Council meetings in the future, such as the use of virtual/EVG system meetings,
the return to in-person meetings, or a hybrid meeting option; including any related legal
implications, and how these approaches relate to emergency declarations.

 I FURTHER MOVE that the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment, as part of this
review, assess if individual Neighborhood Councils may be granted the flexibility to select a
preferred meeting option that meets their needs.

 MOTION
 PUBLIC WORKS
 In Council District 13 connecting communities, in particular those that are infrastructure
underserved, has been a mobility priority. This began in 2013 with the design and then
installation of the Fletcher Drive Streetscape and bike lane project which was followed by the
Design, Build & Construction of three non-motorized bridges spanning the Los Angeles River in
Council District 13. In addition, the North Atwater, Red Car, and Taylor Yard Bridges, connecting
pedestrians, cyclists, and equestrians for the first time to schools, parks and recreation, and
commercial centers without the use of a motor vehicle were all designed, completed and built in
the last 10 years

 The Red Car Bridge in Atwater Village was an early start mitigation to provide safe
crossings for pedestrians & cyclists when the much larger restoration and renovation of the
Glendale/Hyperion complex of bridges commences construction in early 2023. This project will
include protected bicycle lanes, ADA accessible sidewalks, that for the first time will safely
connect pedestrians from Atwater Village to Silver Lake, as well as a pedestrian activated
signalized crosswalk, in Atwater Village.

 All of these Bridges, shared paths and increased access points along the Los Angeles
River meet the goals and objectives of many of the City's planning documents, including the City
of Los Angeles River Master Plan, River Improvement Overlay Plan, Los Angeles Bicycle Plan,
and Elysian Park Master Plan, among others.

 To further enhance these vital community connections, Council District 13 is taking the
next logical steps, to increase connectivity and safety, including dovetailing off of the recent
successful implementation of protected bike lanes along Riverside Drive west of Glendale
Boulevard, furthering the goals and objectives of the City's Bicycle Plan and to further create
safer routes around schools and parks and communities, and creating a fully connected
network from the Los Angeles River to Elysian Park and beyond.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the Department of Transportation be directed to install
protected bike lanes along Riverside Drive, east of Fletcher Drive in Council District 13, and
continue them into Elysian Park along Stadium Way, following the route recommended in the
City Bicycle Plan and the Elysian Park Master Plan.

 I FURTHER MOVE that the Department of Transportation and the Department of Public
Works, in consultation with the City Administrative Officer be directed to report on the cost to
install both the ADA sidewalk from Riverside Drive along Stadium Way into Elysian Park, which
currently abruptly ends at Landa Street, and the recommended Pedestrian Activated Signalized
Crosswalk at Elysian Park Drive and Stadium Way, as recommended in the Elysian Park Master
Plan, which would assure the most underserved and mobility challenged residents safe passage Q
and connectivity from the Los Angeles River through Elysian Park, to both active and passive
recreation as well as the commercial centers of Downtown, Echo Park, and Dodger Stadium.

 MOTION

The City  of Los Angeles is the second largestcity Uni.J~~r.£~TAT/QN
 (by population) in the
international business and cultural center. Los Angeles is vast and has an acute need for safe multimodal
transportation that balances urban core density issues with community needs. Initiatives such as the LA
Mobility Plan 2035, Vision Zero, Safe Routes to School, and tools such as the High Injury Network, among
others, are meant to ensure safe, liveable neighborhoods, streets and sidewalks throughout the City that are
friendly to pedestrians, bicycles, transit riders and non-vehicular forms of mobility.

In 2016, a grassroots movement "Sunset4ALL" was created in the Silver Lake/East Hollywood/Echo Park area
to improve bicycle and pedestrian safety. Over the last several years, Council District 13 has encouraged and
supported Sunset4ALL's extensive community outreach efforts. After years of work that involved community
members, business and property owners, residents and stakeholders, they have developed a proposal of over
three miles of pedestrian and bicycle improvements. The proposed concept could improve existing bike lanes,
enhanced shade structures and bus shelters, beautify and improve public infrastructure including parks and
sidewalks, while increasing connectivity and safety for approximately 100,000+ residents.

The City must examine all safety improvement options on the table for the proposed project in order to address
injuries and deaths from traffic collisions, increasing pedestrian and bicycle safety by adding protected bike
lanes, improved crosswalks and traffic signal prioritization and reconfiguration. The Sunset4ALL plan is
supported by the LA County Bicycle Coalition, and furthers work already done in the region. Over the last
nine years, Council District 13 has collaborated with all City agencies to improve and/or install over 10 miles
of sidewalks, over 150 curb ramps, over 30 METRO bike-share kiosks, over 30 new traffic signals, nearly 600
crosswalks and nearly 300 stop-signs. In July of 2022, Council District 13 submitted a "concept nomination
form" for Sunset4ALL's proposal, so that the Los Angeles Department of Transportation can begin
consideration of the project, a precursor for initial department review. If implemented, Sunset4ALL will focus
on many needed improvements, allowing an opportunity to upgrade and reconfigure many intersections along
Sunset Boulevard, from Fountain Ave southeast to Echo Park Ave, and Santa Monica Blvd. from Sunset
Junction to the Vermont/Santa Monica Red Line Station, all of which are on the City's High Injury Network.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council INSTRUCT the Department of Transportation (LADOT), with the
assistance of the Bureau of Engineering (BOE), the Bureau of Street Services (StreetsLA), and the City
Administrative Officer (CAO), to report in 60 days with recommendations to implement the multi-modal
accessibility concept proposal known as "Sunset4ALL'', including a project scope that ensures minimal
parking space removal, multi-year budgets, potential grant and funding opportunities, identification of
potentially impacted stakeholders, and an implementation timeline.

I FURTHER MOVE that LADOT, with the assistance of BOE and Streets LA as needed, to host public
meetings with Sunset4ALL and other local community and business stakeholders to address and solve
neighborhood and business concerns.
