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.


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.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.


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.


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
 Wednesday - February 14, 2024 - PAGE 3
approval on second consideration vary and depend upon the type of ordinance, but a typical ordinance requires eight (8)
affirmative votes upon second consideration.

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.

PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE REPORT relative to copper wire theft and streetlight
vandalism.

Recommendations for Council action, as initiated by Motion (De Leon – Park – Lee):

 1. INSTRUCT the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), with the assistance of the
 City Attorney, Bureau of Street Lighting, and City Clerk, to report with
 recommendations to establish a standing reward offer for information resulting in
 the identification, apprehension and conviction for copper wire theft and streetlight
 vandalism crimes and thefts of bronze plaques and statues that occur within the
 City, including how the reward program will be administered and potential fiscal
 impacts.

 2. INSTRUCT the LAPD, with the assistance of any necessary Departments, to report
 with recommendations for the implementation of a public service announcement
 campaign informing residents of a standing reward offer for information on copper
 wire theft and streetlight vandalism crimes and thefts of bronze plaques and
 statues.

Fiscal Impact Statement: Neither the City Administrative Officer nor the Chief Legislative
Analyst has completed a financial analysis of this report.

Community Impact Statement: Yes

For:
Westside Neighborhood Council

Summary:

On February 13, 2024, your Committee considered a Motion (DeLeon – Park) relative to
copper wire theft and streetlight vandalism. According to the Motion, over the past
decade, the City has seen a troubling rise in the vandalism and theft of copper wiring from
City streetlights. Not only are these incidents costly for the City to repair critical
infrastructure, it creates a broader public safety issue as areas of the City lose their public
lighting for interim periods. The Bureau of Street Lighting (BSL) manages the City's
streetlight network which includes an estimated 223,000 streetlights.

While the BSL has been aggressive in tackling the backlog of repairs due to the damage
caused by copper wire theft and streetlight vandalism, it has also invested in preventative
measures to protect streetlighting infrastructure. However, despite significant
investments in repairs and prevention by the City, copper wire theft and streetlight
vandalism has still resulted in extended repair times, forcing impacted residents to go
weeks without adequate streetlighting while repair crews are responding to outages all
across the City.
In the past, the City has established monetary reward programs for information that leads
to arrests and convictions for a wide array of crimes that affect the public welfare. While
the Council may currently authorize rewards for information leading to arrests for specific
incidents of copper wire theft and streetlight vandalism on a case-by-case basis, the
implementation of a standing reward program will allow for law enforcement to more
efficiently solicit the public's help in addressing this public safety issue.

As part of a new standing reward program, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD)
should ensure that information may be reported through Los Angeles Regional Crime
Stoppers and the LAPD should set up a dedicated email address to receive information
from the public. Additionally, the LAPD should initiate a public service announcement
campaign to inform residents of the new standing reward program in order to advertise
rewards and better solicit information from the public. After consideration and having
provided an opportunity for public comment, the Committee moved to recommend
approval of the Motion, as amended. This matter is now submitted to Council for its
consideration.



Respectfully Submitted,

PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the creation of a Copper Wire Task
Force to address the proliferation of copper wire theft in the communities of Downtown
Los Angeles, Boyle Heights, El Sereno, and Lincoln Heights.

Recommendations for Council action pursuant to Motion (De Leon – Park) and SUBJECT
TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR:

 1. INSTRUCT the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), with the assistance of the
 Bureau of Street Lighting, to create a Copper Wire Task Force to address the
 proliferation of copper wire theft in the communities of Downtown, Boyle Heights,
 El Sereno, and Lincoln Heights.

 2. TRANSFER and APPROPRIATE $200,000 from the Council District 14 portion of
 the "Neighborhood Service Enhancements" line item in General City Purpose Fund
 No. 100/56 be transferred to the Police Fund No. 100/70, Account No. 1092 (Sworn
 Overtime), to cover the costs of the task force for addressing the rampant theft of
 copper wire in Council District 14.

 3. AUTHORIZE the LAPD to make any corrections, clarifications or revisions to the
 above fund transfer instructions, including any new instructions, in order to
 effectuate the intent of this Motion, and including any corrections and changes to
 fund or account numbers; said corrections/clarifications/changes may be made
 orally, electronically or by any other means.

Summary:

On February 13, 2024, your Committee considered a Motion (DeLeon – Park) relative to
the creation of a Copper Wire Task Force to address the proliferation of copper wire theft
in the communities of Downtown Los Angeles, Boyle Heights, El Sereno, and Lincoln
Heights. According to the Motion, the City is facing a crisis of copper wire thefts. In Boyle
Heights, Lincoln Heights, and El Sereno alone, thieves have darkened 3,738 streetlights
by ripping out the copper wire from the light poles. In recent weeks, the 6th Street Viaduct
was similarly snuffed out after criminals stole tens of thousands of dollars of copper wire.
The City, quite literally, is being stripped for parts. Due to the sheer magnitude of thefts,
the City must take a comprehensive approach to addressing copper wire theft. This can
be achieved with the creation of a special joint task force between the LAPD's Central
Bureau and the Bureau of Street Lighting. After consideration and having provided an
opportunity for public comment, the Committee moved to recommend approval of the
Motion. This matter is now submitted to Council for its consideration.
