 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.

 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 or call (213) 978-1133 to allow time for scheduling. It is strongly encouraged that a
 request for interpretive services is made at least 48 hours prior to the meeting. Interpretation requests are not
 guarantee and are dependent on availability. 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 - September 19, 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.

BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the Los Angeles Convention Center
(LACC) Expansion and Modernization Project.

Recommendations for Council action:

INSTRUCT the City Administrative Officer (CAO) and the Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA), with
the support of other City Departments to:

 a. Close out all activities associated with the current Convention Center Expansion (LACC
 Expansion) project plan.

 b. Use the city’s investment in the Early Works Agreement to evaluate and report back
 within 30 days with deferred maintenance on the existing footprint Convention Center,
 upgrades necessary and appropriate to bring the Convention Center into the 21st
 Century, including technology and accessibility, with options that can be completed prior
 to March 2028, and a competitive bidding process to select project delivery partners (the
 “Convention Center Modernization Project”). This Convention Center Modernization
 Project scope of work should include: major activities, such as installation of Figueroa-
 facing Digital Signage and installation of Freeway-facing Digital Signage to the degree
 allowed by law; renovation of Gilbert Lindsay Plaza; implementation of electrical system
 improvements to ensure adequate electrical service to an expanded LACC and enhanced
 signage program; focused improvements such as ADA improvements in the West Hall
 and South Hall; cosmetic upgrades to enhance the visitor experience; elevator and
 escalator improvements; replacement of West Hall airwalls; repair/replacement of
 existing Fire Pump systems; upgrades to the South Hall Smoke Control System;
 replacement of existing facility BIMS controls; and other facility upgrades.

 c. Identify and report back within 30 days on any infrastructure improvements needed to
 support the Convention Center Modernization Project, including utility upgrades to
 support the project, and a plan to initiate and complete those improvements at the
 earliest possible date, with all work to be completed no later than March 2028.

 d. Identify and report back within 30 days on any additional actions necessary to reduce
 risks and deliver the LACC Modernization Project ahead of the 2028 Olympic and
 Paralympic Games.

 e. Instruct the CAO, with support of the CLA, Bureau of Engineering (BOE), and the City
 Tourism Department, to report within 30 days with an expenditure plan to fund the
 Convention Center Modernization Project.

 f. Evaluate and report back within 120 days on options to initiate a new Request for
 Proposal (RFP) for an Expansion project that would expand the footprint of the existing
 Los Angeles Convention Center upon conclusion of the 2028 Games, and consider and
 report back on other options for the Convention Center site that would maximize the site’s
 positive economic impacts on the Downtown Los Angeles and greater regional economy;
 It should include an evaluation of potential closure of Pico Boulevard instead of a bridge;
 housing and/or hotels on the Convention Center site.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports, based on their original recommendations, the full City
costs and the General Fund impact will depend on a number of factors including final Project
costs, final bond issuance amount and costs including interest costs, and actual Operating
Revenues and tax contributions achieved as a result of the Project. As presented in this Report,
the total costs of the Project is estimated to be $2,489 million. Based on this cost, the average
annual net General Fund impact over the 30 year operating period is estimated to be $61 million,
in nominal dollars. This net General Fund impact represents the gap between the Operating
Revenues and tax contributions achieved against the operating expenditures and debt service
payments required on an annual basis. The net General Fund impact will be greater if the
Operating Revenues and tax contributions do not materialize as planned. On an annual basis, the
actual amount that the General Fund will need to support the operating expenditures and debt
service payments on the Project will be greater than $61 million. From fiscal years 2030-31 to
2036-37, the City would need to budget over $100 million annually from revenues not directly or
indirectly derived from the LACC operations. The impact on the General Fund slowly decreases
over time and only flips to a positive impact in fiscal year 2055-56 when the final lease payment
is made. There is no additional General Fund impact in 2025-26 and 2026-27 as sufficient funding
for lease payments (debt service) due in these years will be paid from bond proceeds within the
Capitalized Interest Fund. Lease payments beginning on April 15, 2029 (2028-29) through April
15, 2055 (2054-55) will require future annual General Fund budget appropriations in the Capital
Finance Administration Fund (Fund No. 100/53).

Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports, based on their original recommendations, that the
recommendations in this Report comply with the City’s Financial Policies in as much as they
recognize that initiating multi-year projects or adding new items to the budget with future year
expenditure requirements, necessitates the City to consider its ability to continue to pay these
future year expenses. The issuance of the Bonds will not cause the City’s debt obligation
payments to exceed six percent of General Revenues for non-voter approved debt as established
in the City’s Financial Policies. After the issuances of the Bonds, the projected non-voter approved
debt ratio is the highest in 2030-31 at 3.98 percent.

Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports, based on their original recommendations, that this
Report is being considered concurrent to an accompanying report that would authorize the
issuance and sale of Municipal Improvement Corporation of Los Angles (MICLA) Lease Revenue
Bonds to finance this Project. The Project, if approved, will cause the City, through MICLA, to
borrow an estimated total of $2.69 billion in lease revenue bonds. Over the 31 year amortization
period, total estimated debt service is $5.39 billion of which $409.43 million will be paid from
capitalized interest (bond proceeds) and the remaining $4.98 billion (net debt service) will be
payable from lease payments to be made by the City to MICLA, which is an obligation of the
General Fund. The estimated average annual debt service is $179.7 million. Final bond maturity
is expected to be in 2055-56. The lease payments will require future budget appropriations in the
Capital Finance Administration Fund (Fund 100, Department 53). Actual interest rates may differ
as rates are dependent on market conditions at the time of issuance.

Community Impact Statement: None submitted
SUMMARY
At a Special meeting held on September 9, 2025, the Budget and Finance Committee
considered CLA and CAO reports, and CAO addendum relative to the final direction on the Los
Angeles Convention Center Expansion and Modernization Project and finding that the project
was assessed in the previously certified Convention and Event Center Project Environmental
Impact Report (EIR), and that pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines, Sections 15162 and 15164 and the First Addendum and Joint Analysis, dated
December 2021, and Second Addendum, dated August 2025, that no major revisions to the EIR
are required and no subsequent EIR is required for approval of the project; and related matters.

After public comment was heard, and presentations were made, the item was continued to the
September 16, 2025 regular meeting of the Budget and Finance Committee. Representatives
from the Offices of the CAO, CLA, BOE, DWP, APCLA were present and provided additional
details regarding the project, and responded to questions posed by the Committee members.

After an opportunity for public comment was held, the Committee Chair introduced substitute
recommendations, and a majority of the Committee approved the recommendations in the
substitute Motion. This matter is now forwarded to the Council for its consideration.

“Series 2025 Bonds”) will be due on April 15, 2026. There is no additional General Fund impact
in 2025-26 as sufficient funding for the first lease payment will be paid from bond proceeds
within the Capitalized Interest Fund. Lease payments due on April 15, 2026 through October 15,
2028 will be paid from the Capitalized Interest Fund. Lease payments beginning in April 15,
2029 through April 15, 2055 will require future budget appropriations.

Similarly, first lease payment from the second bond issuance (the “Series 2026 Bonds”) is
expected to be due on April 15, 2027. Expected lease payments due on April 15, 2027 through
October 15, 2029 will be paid from the Capitalized Interest Fund. Lease payments beginning in
April 15, 2030 through April 15, 2056 will require future budget appropriations.

Total estimated debt service is $5.39 billion of which $409.43 million will be paid from capitalized
interest (bond proceeds) and the remaining $4.98 billion (net debt service) will be payable from
lease payments to be made by the City to MICLA, which is an obligation of the General Fund.
The
lease payments will require future budget appropriations in the Capital Finance Administration
Fund (Fund No. 100/53).

Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports, based on their original recommendations, that
the the issuance of the Series 2025 Bonds and the Series 2026 Bonds will not cause the City’s
debt
obligation payments to exceed six percent of General Revenues for non-voter approved debt as
established in the City’s Financial Policies. After the issuances of the Series 2025 Bonds and
the
Series 2026 Bonds, the projected non-voter approved debt ratio is the highest in 2030-31 at
3.98
percent (Attachment B of the CAO report attached to the Council file).

Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports, based on their original recommendations, that the
Series 2025 Bonds will be payable from lease payments made by the City which is a General
Fund obligation. Lease payments due on April 15, 2026 through October 15, 2028 will be paid
from the Capitalized Interest Fund. Lease payments due on April 15, 2029 through April 15,
2055 will be annually budgeted in the Capital Finance Administration Fund (Fund 100,
Department 53). Based on current market rates, the estimated average annual debt service for
the Series 2025 Bonds is $63.0 million over 30 years, through May 1, 2055. The total estimated
debt service, including total principal and interest, over the life of the Series 2025 Bonds is
