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) 978-1133. 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 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.

 SE OFRECE UN SERVICIO DE TRADUCCIÓN AL ESPAÑOL EN TODAS LAS REUNIONES DEL CONSEJO
 MUNICIPAL

 Spanish language interpretation is available at all Council and Committee meetings. Interpretation services in
 additional languages are available upon request, at no cost. Please submit your request to
 clerk.interpretation@lacity.org as soon as possible to allow time for scheduling. You will receive a confirmation reply if
 an interpreter is available.

 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 - May 23, 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.

 COMMUNICATION FROM THE CITY ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER
 (CAO) relative to a Personal Services Contract with Legacy By-
 Products, LLC, for recovery and processing services of dead animals.

 Recommendation for Council action:

 AUTHORIZE the Board of Public Works (BPW), or two members, on
 behalf of the Bureau of Sanitation, to execute the proposed Personal
 Services Contract with Legacy By-Products, L.L.C., which has been
 previously approved by the BPW, for the recovery, disposal, and/or
 processing services of dead animals for an initial three-year term,
 with one two-year renewal option, for a total potential term of five
 years retroactive from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2029.
 The maximum contract amount is $472,500 for the services over the
 potential five-year term and authority to execute is subject to the City
 Attorney approval as to form.

 Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that there is no additional
 impact to the General Fund. Funding is provided by the Solid Waste
 Resources Revenue Fund (SWRRF), which is not a full cost recovery
 fund. First year funding totaling $120,000 is budgeted in SWRRF
 Fund 508/50/50AX82 and should be sufficient to offset the estimated
 first year contract costs of approximately $95,000. Future funding is
 contingent upon Council and Mayor approval of funding for the
 contract as part of the annual budget process. The Contract includes
 Standard Provisions which contain a City obligation limitation clause
 which limits the City’s obligation to make payments to funds which
 have been appropriated for this purpose.

 Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the above
 recommendation complies with the City’s financial policies in that the
 City’s financial obligation is limited to funds budgeted for this purpose

 MOTION COMMUNITY ENRICHMEN,TAND

 Adopted in 1962, the City's Cultural Heritage Ordinance was one of the first landmark
preservation laws adopted by a major American city. The Ordinance created the Cultural Heritage
Commission (then "Board"), and the process for the designation of new Historic-Cultural Monuments
(HCM). Since that time, over 1,300 Historic-Cultural Monuments have been designated that preserve and
recognize the City's cultural and architectural heritage.

 Over the past ten years, the Department of City Planning's Office of Historic Resources has
developed a citywide historic context statement which serves as the blueprint for identifying and
analyzing under which theme a property may be significant. In addition to themes such as Architecture
and Engineering, Commercial Development, and Cultural Landscapes, Ethnic-Cultural Context
Statements were developed on matters covering, but not limited to, Women's Rights in Los Angeles;
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender history in Los Angeles; Asian Americans in Los Angeles; and
African American History of Los Angeles. These context statements brought to light that properties in
Los Angeles may have multiple layers of history. Historic-Cultural Monument nominations submitted
prior to the development of these context statements could not take advantage of this additional
research,and therefore, may not always tell the full story of why an HCM may be significant.

 In 2023, the National Park Service created a process to amend properties listed in the National
Register of Historic Places to more accurately present a property's historic significance. While there is an
established process to make alterations to designated Historic-Cultural Monuments, the City's Cultural
Heritage Ordinance currently does not include a comparable process for amending existing designations
to add new historic contextual information, periods of significance, or improve more minimal property
descriptions.

 An update to the Cultural Heritage Ordinance is necessary to allow for amendments to existing
Historic-Cultural Monument designations that may include substantive amendments that add a criterion or
expand a statement of significance. In some instances, there may also be the need for a geographical
boundary change, or technical amendment to correct administrative errors, or a revised property
description.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council instruct the Planning Department, in consultation with
the City Attorney, to prepare and present a proposed ordinance to amend the Cultural Heritage
Ordinance (Administrative Code Section 22.171 of Article I, Chapter 9, Division 22) to create an
amendment process for existing Historic-Cultural Monuments that will allow for: 1) revisions that add to
or enhance the statement of significance, period of significance, and designation criteria; 2) technical
corrections; and 3) geographical boundary changes. __.--.r '

 WHEREAS, on May 2, 2025, the President sent his Fiscal Year 2026-27 discretionary budget
request to Congress, which proposes to reduce the Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD)
funding by $33 billion, which is close to half of the HUD budget;

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 governmental body or agency must have
first been adopted in the form of a Resolution by the City Council with the concurrence of the Mayor; and

WHEREAS, California law has long required operators of motor vehicles to display license plates to provide a
quick and efficient method of identifying motor vehicles and their registrant; and imposed penalties on
motorists who alter or obscure their license plates; and

WHEREAS, the proper display of license plates is important to traffic safety and general public safety; and

WHEREAS, in recent years, there has been increasing use of automated license plate readers to enforce
traffic laws, including payment of tolls on toll roads and bridges, enforcement of high-occupancy vehicle
(HOV) lanes, speed limits, red lights; prohibitions on street takeovers and street racing; as well as to identify
stolen vehicles and vehicles connected with other crimes; and

WHEREAS, in recent years, there has also been an increase in the sale and installation of illegal license plate
covers designed to purposefully obscure plates, making it easier for drivers to comm ft traffic and other
offenses; and

WHEREAS, these license plate readers serve no lawful purpose; and

WHEREAS, existing law prohibits only the sale and use of devices that obscure license plates, but does not
prohibit the manufacture of such devices, and existing penalties have proven to be insufficient to deter this
illegal behavior that directly and adversely impacts traffic safety and public safety; and

WHEREAS, AB 1085 (Stefani) would prohibit the manufacture of devices that obscure license plates, and
impose substantial penalties for the manufacture and sale of such devices while not changing the penalty for

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, with concurrence of the Mayor, that by adoption of this Resolution, the
City of Los Angeles hereby includes in its 2025-26 State Legislative Program SUPPORT for AB 1085 (Stefani)

 PLANNING & LAND USE MA
 NAGEMEN T
 MOTION ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT & JO
 BS
 The growth of the app-based gig economy has created new and undefined land uses in the zoning
code. 'Ghost Kitchens,' first flagged in a Motion (Koretz-Harris Dawson) adopted by the Council on
September 15, 2021(Council File No. 21-0665), and which remains undefined in the Zoning Code, has
resulted in impacts to nearby residents, businesses, and pedestrians as a result of the car-centered nature
of these operations.

 The lack of a defined 'Ghost Kitchen' use and appropriate conditions of approval has left many
locations without adequate regulations to effectively manage the impacts that they generate. Without a
definition, 'Ghost Kitchens' typically follow requirements for catering land uses, which have very
different operational demands. Catering land uses prepare food in large batches for a few scheduled
deliveries. 'Ghost Kitchens' prepare individual take-out orders on demand, with high volume orders,
causing higher impacts on local streets.

 In Council District 13, there are at least two kitchens currently disrupting the areas around them
and creating an uptick of unsafe driving behaviors including: double parking, red-curb violations, parking
at bus stops, parking in intersections, and parking in center turn lanes. While the City no longer mandates
onsite parking minimums for projects in transit-rich areas, it must still ensure that any businesses entirely
based on car-centric delivery methods using third party worker systems are not free to offioad the impacts
by taking advantage of our shared City spaces and streets.

 These businesses which are causing these issues must be adequately defined to support businesses
while mitigating the impacts to neighbors. Additionally, imposition of conditions of approval, and
enforcement should also be considered as tools to mitigate the negative externalities associated with
'Ghost Kitchens.'

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council instruct the Planning Department, in consultation with
the Department of Building and Safety, and the City Attorney, report on a draft definition of 'Ghost
kitchens' and criteria to assess the impacts of 'Ghost Kitchens' and inform potential land use controls that
can mitigate nuisances on neighboring land uses.
