 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 - December 5, 2025 - 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.

al. – Hutt), relative to establishing the City’s position on any action to open or expand oil

Summary:

On December 3, 2025, your Committee considered a November 5, 2025 report from the
Mayor relative to the exemption of one Police Administrator II (Class Code 9196) position
for the LAPD from the Civil Service pursuant to Charter Section 1001(b). According to
the Mayor, Charter Section 1001(b) allows up to 150 persons to be exempt, of which 121

increase the count. As of November 5, 2025, this request will be in the 123rd position of
the 150 exemptions. There are an additional 50 exempt positions added by the City
Council pursuant to Charter Section 1001(b)(4), of which 18 are filled.

The Police Administrator II (PAII) will act as the LAPD’s Risk Manager within the Office
of Constitutional Policing and Policy, responsible for identifying potential external and
internal risk exposure in all department operations. In addition, the incumbent will be
required to evaluate the likelihood of the identified risks and prepare policies and
procedures to mitigate or eliminate the loss. Preventing and/or mitigating potential losses
can contribute to significant cost savings for both the LAPD and the City, and hiring a
qualified, experienced and knowledgeable risk manager will be a vital step to realizing
these increased savings. The Risk Manager is responsible for ensuring compliance with

Charter Section 1001(b). According to the Mayor, Charter Section 1001(b) allows up to
150 persons to be exempt, of which 121 are approved, and an additional four are pending
approval. Approval of this request will increase the count. As of November 5, 2025, this
request will be in the 125th position of the 150 exemptions. There are an additional 50
exempt positions added by the City Council pursuant to Charter Section 1001(b)(4), of
which 18 are filled.

The PSERM position, plans, organizes, and directs the work of sworn, professional, and
clerical employees engaged in the administration and management of several LAFD
divisions and sections, including Employee Relations, Risk Management, Medical
Liaison, and other important programs. The type of matters addressed by the PSERM
are specific to the fire service and the LAFD, such as sworn and civilian work schedules
and compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act 7(k) exemption. Additionally, the
position participates in resolving differences with sworn and civilian employee unions
through mediation, grievance arbitration, unfair labor practice hearings, and other
administrative hearings, along with communicating the LAFD’s position during labor
negotiations and/or employment-management meetings. The position serves as
consultant to Management on the interpretation and application of Memorandums of
Understanding, Employee Relations Ordinance, Firefighters Procedural Bill of Rights Act,
the Fair Employment and Housing Act, and LAFD Rules and Regulations. The position
applies sound management principles and techniques in building and maintaining an
effective work and fulfills equal employment responsibilities. After consideration and
having provided an opportunity for public comment, the Committee moved to recommend
approval of the exemption. This matter is now submitted to Council for its consideration.

 On February 22, 2022, the Council conditionally approved the vacation of the alley south
 of Washington Boulevard from the alley east of Santa Fe Avenue to its eastern terminus (VAC-
 E1401392) (C.F. 21-0345).

 The City owns three remnant parcels adjacent to the applicant's property from the Alameda
 Corridor Transportation Authority under the Santa Fe Overpass. The vacation applicant had been
 leasing these properties and using the lots for open storage of equipment. On April 29, 2025, the
 Council found that it would be appropriate to delete certain conditions of the applicant's vacation
 approval if a lease for the remnant parcels was renegotiated (C.F. 24-1044). However, State
 Department of Transportation regulations prohibit open storage of equipment under overpass
 structures and disallows the renewal of leases for this purpose.

 As the previous Council action to delete condition 6(b) was made contingent upon
 execution of a lease for open storage which is not allowable under State regulations, further action
 is required to delete condition 6(b) outright.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council Action of February 22, 2022 relative to the
 vacation of the alley south of Washington Boulevard from the alley east of Santa Fe Avenue to its
 eastern terminus (VAC-E1401392) (C.F. 21-0345) BE AMENDED to DELETE condition 6(b) of

 MOTION
 5[3
  The City's Unarmed Model of Crisis Response (UMCR) pilot launched in March 2024 with six teams,
  composed of trained mental and behavioral health professionals, community workers, and social workers,
  operating 24/7 across three Service Areas. The program reached 1,000 diverted 9-1-1 calls within its first
  two months, demonstrating the need for these services. Without any additional funding, the program
  expanded into three additional Service Areas in October 2024, and has now responded to over 16,000
  calls to date, continuously demonstrating its effectiveness. UMCR has been able to resolve over 96% of
  non-violent crisis calls without requiring sworn resources, reducing the likelihood of unnecessary armed
  encounters and improving outcomes for residents in crisis. By diverting calls that do not require police or
  fire response, UMCR creates operational efficiencies that save the City money, allow sworn personnel to
  focus on higher-priority emergencies, and provide a more effective and appropriate use of taxpayer funds.

  During its deliberations of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget, the Council approved expansion into three
  additional areas. With these additions, UMCR is projected to serve roughly 40% of the City's population.
  As the pilot approaches its two-year mark and the current contracts near expiration, the City must take
  steps to prepare for the next phase of UMCR in a manner that advances equitable access to crisis response
  and positions the program for eventual citywide coverage.

  A multi-year procurement horizon is warranted to move beyond short-term planning and to ensure
  unarmed crisis response is a sustained component of the City's public safety infrastructure. Accordingly,
  the City must initiate the next procurement process and structure it to provide the City with flexibility
  regarding the scope and geographic extent of program expansion as fiscal conditions allow in future
  years. In accordance with Los Angeles Administrative Code Section 10.3, the City Council must
  authorize the initiation of the procurement process for successor UMCR service providers, as the resultant
  agreements from the procurement process are anticipated to be up to five years in term and therefore will
  require Council approval.

  I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council authorize the City Administrative Officer (CAO) to
  initiate a procurement process to establish a five-year bench of pre-qualified unarmed crisis response
  contractors, including the and infrastructure.

 PUBLIC WORKS
 MOTION

 The South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) administers Measure M
 Multi-Year Subregional Program funds that are allocated on a competitive cycle. The program
 invests hundreds of millions of dollars into projects aimed at improving South Bay freeways,
 state highways, and arterial roads over several decades. The next funding cycle (Cycle Year
 2026) presents an opportunity for the City of Los Angeles to pursue local allocation to advance
 critical transportation infrastructure projects that improve mobility, reduce emissions, and
 enhance community health.

 The proposed Lomita Grade Separation Project would design and construct a
 grade-separated overpass at the eastern terminus of Lomita Boulevard connecting to Alameda
 Street in Wilmington. This project is intended to divert commercial truck traffic away from
 residential streets in East Wilmington, reduce idling, improve traffic flow, and mitigate
 concentrated emissions in a community disproportionately burdened by industrial pollution.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council direct the Bureau of Engineering (BOE)
 and the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) to prepare and submit an
 application for the City's local allocation of the South Bay Cities Council of Governments'
 Measure M funds for Cycle Year 2026 for the Lomita Grade Separation Project.

 I FURTHER :MOVE that BOE and LADOT report back on the status of the application,
 including required match funding, project readiness, preliminary cost estimates, and any
 additional steps necessary to position the City competitively for this funding cycle.

 MOTION

 On November 21, 2025, a fire aboard the One Henry Hudson while at dock in the Port of
 Los Angeles (POLA) required an extended multi-agency emergency response and generated
 significant public concern regarding operations, communications, and incident management. In
 order for the City to fully understand what occurred and to ensure lessons learned are promptly
 integrated into future planning, a comprehensive update is necessary.

 The incident is still in progress with remediation and salvage operations ongoing. Once
 the incident is fully addressed, there will be investigations and after-action reports that will allow
 all agencies to learn and prepare for future incidents.

 Accurate and timely information to the residents, workers, and operators in and around
 the Port complex is imperative for public confidence and safety.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council direct the Los Angeles Fire Department
 (LAFD), in coordination with the Emergency Management Department (EMD), the Port of Los
 Angeles (POLA) and the Los Angeles Port Police, and in partnership with the United States
 Coast Guard (USCG), report to the Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee with a verbal update
 on the incident. This should include, but not be limited to:
 • An operational timeline from initial dispatch through current incident status;
 • A current summary of interagency coordination, communication (with attention to the
 automated notification system, as implemented in this incident), and resource
 deployment; and
 • Initial key findings, lessons learned, and recommended improvements for future
 responses.

 RULES, ELECTIONS, INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIOM'
 .~.J

 WHEREAS, any official position of the City of Los Angeles with respect to legislation, rules,
 regulations, or policies proposed to or pending before a local, state, or federal government body or agency
 must have first been adopted in the form of a Resolution by the City Council; and

 WHEREAS, the City of Los Angeles is committed to protecting water quality, public health, and
 environmental resources for all residents; and

 WHEREAS, wetlands and small waterways provide essential ecosystem services including flood
 control, water filtration, groundwater recharge, habitat for fish and wildlife, and climate resilience; and

 WHEREAS, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Anny Corps of Engineers have
 proposed a new definition of "Waters of the United States" that would dramatically reduce Clean Water
 Act protections, leaving only 19 percent of wetlands in the contiguous U.S. subject to federal oversight;
 and

 WHEREAS, the proposed rule would require wetlands to have continuous surface water connection
 to relatively permanent waterways during wet seasons, ignoring scientific evidence about subsurface
 hydrological connections and intermittent water flows; and

 WHEREAS, approximately half of states lack adequate state-level wetland protection programs,
 meaning the proposed federal rule would leave most wetlands in these states completely unprotected; and

 WHEREAS, the proposed rule also narrows protection for streams by requiring "bed and banks,"
 potentially eliminating Clean Water Act jurisdiction over numerous headwater streams and ephemeral
 waterways that contribute to drinking water supplies; and

 WHEREAS, Southern California's unique hydrology includes many intermittent and seasonal
 streams and wetlands that could lose federal protection under this proposal, despite their critical importance
 to regional water quality and ecosystem health; and

 WHEREAS, reduced federal oversight would increase regulatory burdens on state and local
 agencies to fill protection gaps with limited resources, as weakened wetland protections threaten to increase
 pollution, flooding risks, and infrastructure costs for the City; and

 WHEREAS, clean water and healthy ecosystems are fundamental to public health, environmental
 justice, and quality of life for all Angelenos, particularly communities already burdened by environmental
 pollution;

 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that by the adoption of this Resolution, the City of Los
 Angeles hereby includes in its 2025-2026 Federal Legislative Program opposition to any action by the
 United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers to redefine "Waters of
 the United States" which would eliminate Clean Water Act protections for over 80 percent of the nation's
 wetlands and numerous streams.
