Requests for reasonable modification or accommodation from individuals with disabilities, consistent with the Americans
with Disabilities Act can be made by contacting the City Clerk's Office at (213) 978­1133. For 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 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.

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 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.

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

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.

 PLANNING &LAND USE MANAGEMENT
 MOTION

The Lankershim Hotel (CF 22-0813) is a 148 guest room proposed project in North
Hollywood and consists of the construction of a seven-story hotel with ground floor
restaurant and retail uses.

On December 6, 2022, the Planning and Land Use Management Committee (PLUM)
recommended allowing 148 guest rooms for this project.

While PLUM granted the appeal to allow the increase in the number of guest rooms, the
Planning Department did not modify the proposed Zone Change to reflect the increased
number of guest rooms. As such, revised conditions of approval and findings relative to
the Zoning Administrator Adjustment were submitted and adopted by the City Council,
however no revisions to the Zone Change were made, creating an inconsistency in the
approvals.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the Planning Department correct and retransmit Ordinance
No. 187734 such that it reflects the increased number of guest rooms as was approved
in PLUM committee, and by the City Council for properties located at 5041-5057 North
Lankershim Boulevard and 11121 West Hesby Street.

 The Harbor Gateway's geography is narrow and long, and bound by a 1101-tb-soutb
 corridor, situated approximately between Vermont Avenue and Figueroa Street no1ib oflnterstate
 405 (I-405), and Western and Nom1andie avenues south ofl-405. The northern limit of the
 Gateway, Imperial Highway, is known to some as the "Shoestring Strip" and is city street just
 north of Interstate 105. The territory was acquired by the city of Los Angeles in a shoestring
 annexation, specifically to connect San Pedro, Wilmington, Harbor City and the Port of Los
 Angeles with the rest of the city.

 As Harbor Gateway is bound by several freeways, there are several underpasses that
 dominate the landscape of the north-south corridor. These underpasses frequently experience
 lighting deficiencies, whether that be single l ighting outages or copper wire theft, which can be a
 safety issue for pedestrians and vehicles. Underpasses that currently have lighting deficiencies
 include:
 • 182nd Street and the 110 Freeway
 • Gardena Boulevard and the 1 J0 Freeway
 • Alondra Boulevard and the 110 Freeway
 • Main Street and the 105 Freeway
 • San Pedro Street and the 105 Freeway
 • Figueroa Boulevard and the 91 Freeway

 Underpasses provide a particular challenge and a unique opportunity to invest in
 sustainable, creative alternatives to traditional lighting. Examples of these solutions include
 artistic or colored LED 1ights installed for underpasses in cities across the United States. In order
 to increase community safety as well as ensure that city services are being delivered to the Harbor
 Gateway, the City should explore immediate and long term plans to help keep the lights on for
 these areas.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the Bureau of Street Lighting, in
 coordination with the City Administrative Officer, to report to the Council with a staffing plan
 and identified funding to combat lighting qeficiencies for the underpasses listed above, as well as
 any remaining underpasses prone to lighting deficiencies in the Harbor Gateway area.

 I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council instruct the Bureau of Street Lighting to
 report back on creative solutions to lighting deficiencies related to underpasses, and for the
 potential to pilot artistic lighting solutions in the Harbor Gatew·.

 MOTION


 The Port of Los Angeles is in the midst of a two-phase Wilmington waterfront project that
 will enhance public access to the waterfront for the local community. The first phase, the
 Wilmington Waterfront Promenade, is set to be complete in 2023 . The second phase of the project
 will feature a pedestrian bridge that connects Avalon Boulevard to the Wilmington Waterfront
 Promenade. This project has required coordination on several fronts between the Port of Los
 Angeles and the Los Angeles Depamnent of Water and Power (LAD WP) for land swaps, Right of
 Entry Pe1mits, and site remediation.

 There are two LADWP water tanks at the Avalon Pedestrian Bridge site that are being
 decommissioned. At the March 7, 2022 meeting of the Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee,
 LAD WP stated that it was working with the United States Environmental Protection Agency to
 decommission the second water tank at the site. LADWP further stated that there are ongoing
 discussions about the future of the tank.

 Removal of the tank would be beneficial to tlie Wilmington community. It would create a
 more inviting and aesthetically pleasing space and provide additional accessibility, furthering the
 benefits of the ongoing projects in the area.

 I THEREFORE JVIOVE that the City Council request the Los Angeles Department of
 Water and Power to report with a timeline for decommissioning the second water tank at the
 Avalon Pedestrian Bridge project s ite, including the feasibil ity of removing the tank entirely.

 HOfJSING &HOMaESSNESS
 MOTION

In 20 l 0, Los Angeles began working to create a Coordinated Entry System (CES) to coordit1ate the
work of service providers, maintain a rea1-tirrie list of individuals experiencing homelessness in local
communities, and equitably and efficiently match people to available housing resources and services
that best fit th eir needs. In 201 1, an early version of CBS was put into practice in a series of pi Jots in
Skid Row. After further development via pilots, the CES was introduced to seven communities
throughout LA County and in 2014, CES was expanded to all eight Service Planning Areas (SPAs) in
the County.

Today, CES is managed by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) and comprises
three systems: adults, families with children. and youth. Infom1ation about people experienc-ing
homelessness is entered into the Homeless Management Infom1ation System (HMfS) database, and
families or individuals are th en referred to appropriate resources across the County that meet their
needs.

CES also determines prioritization for p lacement of people experiencing homelessness in interim
housing and permanent housing units. Using a scoring system called the Vulnerability Index and a
survey called the Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool (VI-SPDAT), individuals are
assigned a score based on their acuity, with higher scores receiving higher prioritization for housing.

In a context of persistent interim and permanent housing shortage relative to the population on LA's
streets, CES h as served as a necessary triage tool for distributing scarce resout·ces and services. But
since its implementation. service providers have observed profound issues with CES's vulnerability
assessment tool, including racial disparities. A recent investigation by The Markup ru1d The Los
Angeles Times found that the VI-S PDAT consistently assigned higher vulnerability scores on white
adults and youth over Black and Latino equivalents, effectively charting a more rapid pathway for
white clients to obtain housing.

Service providers and people experiencing homelessness have also critiqued CES and the VT-SPDAT
for delivering inaccurate need assessme11ts-partly due to the requirement for clients to self-repo11
diagnoses and other personal details, which directly influences acuity scores- and for being difficult
to adapt to a b roader range of housing interventions, including p lace-based strategies like
Encampment-to-Home.

In addition to asking for changes to the assessment tool that underlies CBS, service provjders h ave
noted other factors that cause challenges and delays. They have pointed out that, although they work
to ensure all their clients have completed applications and obtained necessary documents, some
clients are "docwnent-ready" or "match-ready" before others, regardless of their vulnerability score.
They advocate for clients who are "match-ready" to be considered for housing placement
im mediately whi le others complete required documents.

Service providers have also noted delays arising from the L.A. County Department of Health
Services (DHS) tak ing up to 30 days to locate referred clients when they receive referrals for case
 management, which could be mitigated by refening more than one client at a time to each available
 case management slot.

 LAHSA recently updated its core CES policies to allow for greater flexibi lity and ability to respond
 to the shifting needs of the homeless population and the homeless services system. This has allowed
 for innovative solutions to be piloted before being codified and implemented system-wide. These are
 steps in the right direction, but further improvements to CES are needed.

 The Coordinated Entry System represents the first and most essential step from the street to housing
 for tens of thousands of people experiencing hom.elessness . If we want to ensure equity and
 efficiency in interim and permanent housing p lacements, we must undertake the proj ect of refonning
 and improving CES.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct LAH SA, with assistance from the Housing
 Authority of the City of LA and homeless service providers, to report back within 30 days with a
 plan to reform and improve the Coordinated Entry System to address factors that cause bias in acuity
 scores and significant delays in matching people to housing w1its. This report should include
 consideration of:
 • Adopting an alternative assessment tool to the Vl·SPDAT that has been evaluated for racial
 bias and reduces reliance on self-reporting by clients, in addition to pote~tially incorporating
 data about utilization of emergency services such as jails, police/Sheriff, emergency rooms,
 mental health beds, and the child welfare system when determining a vuJnerabi lity score;
 • Making CBS more compatible with place-based interventions such as Encampment-to-Home
 based on successes in other localities where this has been done, such as Santa Monica;
 • Indicating clearly in CES which households are "match-ready" and prioritizing those
 households for housing matches;
 • Referring two households to the County OHS for each case management service slot to
 reduce delays due to challenges locating clients; and
 • Developing and offering training for new and existing Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH)
 developers about the PSH population, CES, and the pivotal role developers play in fostering
 housing stability for formerly homeless households.

 HOUSING &HOMELESSNESS
, MOTION

 The December 12, 2022 declaration of a State of Emergency on homelessness by Mayor Karen
 Bass states that "all protocols set by the Los Angeles County Coordinated Entry System as they
 apply within the City of Los Angeles [shall] be expanded, changed, or suspended, as allowed by
 federal law. Rules, guidelines and regulations will be developed to expedite the placement of
 unhoused neighbors into housing in the City of Los Angeles."

 for Continuum of Care (COC) and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funded programs, the
 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires the use of either a
 centralized or coordinated assessment system that provides an initial, comprehensive assessment
 of lhe needs of individuals and families for housing and services. The Los Angeles COC
 assessment system is called the Coordinated Entry System (CES) and it is managed and operated
 by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA). The CBS is used to match eligible
 clients to available housing ·units, and tracks demograpbic and building data. Efficiency in the
 leasing up of units hinges on expedient matching of clients to units. At present, when using CES,
 the process to match a client to a unit and lease that unit takes between 70 and 120 days. Prior to
 the establishment of CES, this process typically took 30 to 45 days.

 The CES is reliant on a network of service providers who are working to expand program
 delivery as demand increases. This lack of staffing capacity has contributed to lengthy wait times
 for clients to be matched to available housing resources and an inability to help them into the
 matched unit. To comply with the Mayor's order and expedite leasing, reevaluation of the tenant
 selectjon and matching process is imperative.

 The Housing Authority of Los Angeles (HACLA) has required that at least 80% of its Project
 Based Vouchers (PBVs) be leased using referrals from CES. I-IACLA has taken a step to
 improve th.is process by amending its Administrative Plan to reduce the number of Project Based
 Voucher units that are required to use the CES tenant matching process from 80% to 25%. This
 means that affordable housing developers building projects that require PBVs for cash flow will
 have the opportunity to, but will not be required to, lease their units through an alternative
 matching process that meets their needs.

 The City's affordable housing finance programs including HHH and lhe Affordable I Tousing
 Managed Pipeline have required that all subsidized buildings have an LAHD-approved
 Affim1alive Marketing Plan, including a Tenant Selection Plan describing how applications will
 be solicited, accepted, reviewed and maintained in a wait list. Buildings serving people
 experiencing homelessness financed for example in the Affordable Housing Managed Pipeline or
 funded by Homekey have only described the developers' plans to use the Coordinated Entry
 System, but HHH already has both CES as well as alternative selection plans. With greater
 flexibility in buildings using PB Vs, the LAI-ID may allow the use of alternative processes.

 Each quarter for the next year between 750 and 1000 suppotiive housing units are expected to be
 completed and ready for occupancy. It is imperative that units are filled as quickly as possible,
 to move homeless individuals and families from the street to shelter and from shelter to interim
 and permanent housing. Therefore, in order to comply with the Mayoris directive and house


 MAR 1O2023
unhoused individuals and families expeditiously, an alternative to CES referrals should be made
available to City departments and agencies, developers and service providers.

l THEREFORE MOVE that the Council DfRECT the Los Angeles Housing Department and
REQUEST the Los Angeles City Attorney ' s Office to amend guidelines, policies or guidance for
programs that do not use Continuum of Care or other funding thatrequires use of the CES so as
to remove requirements or preferences for the CES tenant matching process where the CES
process is not required and the removal of the requirements or preferences otherwise is
permissible. The amendments should allow and encourage; where possible, project owners to
submit amended Tenant Selection Plans identifying providers and partners prioritizing eligible
prospective tenants from interim housing sites to the greatest extent possible. These sites include
Tiny Home Villages, A Bridge Home sites, County-funded interim housing, LAHSA-supportcd
congregate shelter sites, Project Roomkey and Inside Safe sites. The Tenant Selection Plans must
describe the outreach, housing navigation, and assessment processes to be used by each
developer or service provider.

l FURTHER MOVE that LAHD, with the CAO report back within sixty days with occupancy
numbers and lease-up times for projects that elect to use this alternative pathway to tenant
selection, as well as any recommendations concerning any additional resources needed by
services or housing providers for housing navigation to quickly prepare and move residents from
interim to pennanent housing.
