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.

require you to register as a lobbyist and report your activity. See Los Angeles Municipal Code 48.01 et seq. More

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.

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.

 MOTION


On June 30, 2021 the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) attempted a controlled detonation of illegal fireworks
seized from a residence on the 700 th block of East 27 th Street. The detonation resulted in an explosion that injured
several individuals and caused damage to the surrounding properties. At this time, it is crucial to provide additional
funding to continue to temporarily house and permanently relocate those displaced by the explosion.

The Office of the Ninth Council District has led the coordination of efforts to assist the victims and provide relief by
securing emergency funding for housing, overseeing repair efforts over dozens of homes, ensuring financial
assistance is available, and opening a Neighborhood Resource Center to offer social services and to find permanent
housing for impacted individuals. Families continue to face a multitude of challenges preventing them from
returning to their homes or finding stable housing. In order to continue to serve this community, additional resources

 MOTION PERSONNEL, AUDITS &HIRING
 The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission (Commission) is a Joint Powers Authority
 (JPA) created by the City of Los Angeles, County of Los Angeles and the State of California.
 Assembly Bill (AB) 1912 (2018) requires member agencies to fund the cost of any pension
 obligations for employees of a JPA. While as of December 14, 2013 , the Commission no longer
 has any employees, the pension obligations to former Commission employees who are members
 of the California Public Employees Retirement System (CaPERS) remain.

 On March 9, 2023 the Commission adopted a resolution (attached) that reports that the
 Commission's current and projected finances (including the revenues of the related Coliseum
 Foundation) do not provide sufiicient revenues for the Commission to be able to pay its
 CalPERS pension obligations on an ongoing basis beyond the current fiscal year (2022-2023).

 In light of this situation, the Commission's resolution requests that each of its member agencies
 (City of Los Angeles, County of Los Angeles, and State of California) contribute to meeting the
 Commission' s CalPERS obligations. Specifically, based on calculations from CalPERS, the
 Commission ' s outstanding pension obligation is $4,383,066. This amount would be sufficient to
 pre-fund the CalPERS pension fund obligation, subject to actuarial assumptions and conditions.
 The required amount from each of the three JPA member agencies is $1,461,022 if payment is
 received by July 30, 2023. This is a one-time contribution, however, each July, CalPERS will
 determine if there is any change in the valuation, so there will be two year' s notice of any
 additional money due. The pension obligation is fulfilled once there are no more former
 employees enrolled in the plan.

 The City should meet its financial commitment and obligation under AB 1512 .

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council direct the City Administrative Officer to provide
 recommendations within a Financial Status Report in 2022-23, that identify a source of funds to
 meet the City's financial obligation and ensure that $1,461,022 is provided to the Los Angeles
 Memorial Coliseum Conunission prior to July 30, 2023.

 I FURTHER MOVE that the Council authorize the City Administrative Officer to finalize and
 execute a Letter or Agreement or Memorandum of Agreement with the Los Angeles Memorial
 Coliseum Commission, subject to the City Attorney approval as to form, to establish payment
 parameters and other terms required to complete this transaction and any future required
 contributions.

 MOTION BUDGET & Ff NANCE

 The Esri geographic information system (GIS) software supports primary operations in 22 City
 departments, bureaus and elected offices by providing a variety of software and cloud-based
 solutions through the City-wide Annual Requirements Contract (ARC) Number (No.)
 230000000009, Enterprise Agreement (EA) No. 00309465. The GIS information utilized by the
 various departments and bureaus identified below include location and geographic data that the
 various agencies utilize on a real-time basis to perform geographic analysis and to provide
 special reimbursable services, to the public and other governmental agencies, such as
 preparing/producing maps for constituents visiting public counters, the issuance of building and
 public works permits, zoning and land use decisions, dispatching for fire and police services,
 crime analysis, management of water and power assets, asset management at the Harbor and
 Airport, emergency operations such as wild fire response coordination, truck routing for trash
 collection, affordable housing development and many other critical services.

 The Bureau of Engineering (BOE) has been the City's lead agency on using GIS software and
 has been designated by the City as the Contract Administrator over the EA with Esri. The BOE
 has coordinated annual payments to Esri for the last eight fiscal years. The full term of this EA
 is from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2025. The BOE will coordinate this fiscal year's (FY) annual
 payment to Esri for the GIS software licenses and maintenance services only for the
 Departments and Bureaus listed in the table below.

 To ensure the annual payment to Esri is paid, the BOE requires all participating departments
 and bureaus to provide funding for their portion of the payment by the end of May 2023. In past
 fiscal years, some City departments transferred funds using interdepartmental orders to pay for
 their share of the licensing cost. Other departments received direct billing from the City
 Administrative Office (CAO) .requesting that payments be remitted directly to the Special
 Services fund used to pay the vendor. These methods have not been efficient, as payment
 processing times have varied significantly between the City's departments and bureaus which
 have caused exceedingly long delays. Additionally, this year's contract negotiations between
 the City and the vendor, which were just finalized at the end of the 2022 calendar year have
 added to delays as the City can only submit one annual payment per the EA.

 To ensure that there is no lapse in services provided by Esri for the remainder of the fiscal year,
 approval of the recommendations below would streamline the payment process for both the City
 and the vendor. Requesting all the participating departments and bureaus coordinate with the
 Controller's Office and provide the funding and account information by a designated date, will
 allow the Controller's Office to make technical accounting corrections as necessary to ensure
 accurate funding transfers are done in a timely manner. City Council and Mayoral approval is
 required to authorize the transfer of funds by various City departments and bureaus to the
 Bureau of Engineering prior to the end of the current FY. The Bureau of Engineering would then
 be able to remit payment to Esri prior to the end of the current FY to ensure there is no lapse in
 service.

 The total cost of the three-year EA term is $7,950,000.00. This EA with Esri is for the term of
 July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025. One Annual payment of $2,650,000 is due at the
 beginning of each fiscal year of the EA term.

 I THEREFORE MOVE, to ensure the continued benefits of the GIS software and maintenance
 support services during FY 2022-23, that the City Council and Mayor:

 1. REQUEST the Controller to transfer as soon as possible, the following amounts from
 the following participating City Departments and Bureaus identified below, totaling $2,650,000 to

 MOTION
Climate change is one of the most significant issues facing Los Angeles. Everyday we see the
impacts of climate change on the availability of natural resources, including, most significantly,
potable water.

Currently, 90% of the City of Los Angeles' water comes from out-of-basin sources, including the
Los Angele~ Aqued!,Jct, .and State Water Project and Colorado River deliveries through
Metropolitan Water.District. All three of these water sources have experienced extreme swings
in reliabittty/ from "severe dr~ught conditions to overwhelming atmospheric rivers that test the
limit of aging infrastructure. The importation of water supplies have had direct, negative impacts
on the natural environment and populations near the sources of this water, including in Mono
County, Inyo County, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, and the Colorado River Basin .

.Gi~en that the Southern California region is vulnerable to earthquakes and all three of the major
 water import systems cross the San Andreas and many other seismic faults, our water supplies
 are at risk of failing when the next large earthquake or other major disruption occurs. This alone
 is one of many motivations to expand our local water supply efforts.The Los Angeles
 Department of Water and Power (LADWP) has made progress, but more investment is needed
 to diversify its water supply sources and to ensure clean, reliable sources into the future.

In October 2014, then Mayor Garcetti issued an Executive Directive calling for a reduction in
purchased imported potable water by 50% by 2024 and "the creation of an integrated water
strategy that increases local water supplies and improves water security in the context of
climate change and seismic vulnerability." Additionally, L.A.'s Green New Deal set targets of LA
achieving 70% local water supply, recycling 100% of all wastewater for beneficial reuse, and
reducing potable water use per capita by 25%, all by 2035. Moreover, in 2018, the voters of Los
Angeles County approved Measure W: the Safe Clean Water Program to provide funding to
increase stormwater capture through enhanced green infrastructure to recharge local
groundwater basins, thereby enhancing local water supplies.

Due to the potentially significant risk of ongoing water supply issues in the immediate and
medium terms, the Council has a vested interest in understanding and overseeing any
continuation of service plans for water supply for City residents. While the City has adopted
lauded goals, the LADWP should be requested to report on the progress made towards them
and what projects are on the drawing board that need to be green-lighted now to ensure we stay
on track.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council request the Department of Water and Power and the
Bureau of Sanitation, with input from the Metropolitan Water District, to report in 60 days on the
transition to reducing purchased or imported water and increasing our local water supply,
including all planned and existing efforts, as well as infrastructure and conservation projects in
he planning and/or development stages.




 HAR 152023
I FURTHER MOVE that the report include a review of current sources of potable water,
expected local water supply sources, the feasibility of achieving existing targets within the
timelines stated in the current Executive Directives and the Green New Deal policies, and
include current water contingency plans and the resilience of the water import system if an
earthquake causes failures to the Los Angeles Aqueduct, State Water Project, and/or Colorado
River deliveries through Metropolitan Water District.

 MOTION

 The City of Los Angeles endeavors to be on the forefront of large municipalities when it comes to
 leading impactful climate change policy. Over the past few years the City has implemented portions
 of the Sustainability pLAn, and the Green New Deal, and hired various position experts to lead and
 guide our ongoing operations with the goals of reducing waste, recycling where prudent, and
 eliminating the production and use of harmful environmental substances.

The City of Los Angeles, through the Bureau of Sanitation (BOS), recently adopted an ordinance to
ensure compliance with the State of California's landmark SB 1383 mandated legislation to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions by removing organic materials from the waste stream. We've also adopted
ordinances to ban expanded polystyrene (EPS) ban, develop zero waste at City departments and
events, and expand the ban on single-use carryout bags to continue leading in these efforts.

The myriad of policies adopted are crucial to our environmental future and must be earnestly
pursued. The City Col;lncil should receive the latest information and learn BOS 's plan to lead by
example by implementing the Zero Waste Plans (ZWP) and Zero Waste Events (ZWE) at all City
departments and at City-sponsored events. Particularly, important is to demonstrate our commitment
to the policies where City department operations are concerned, as well as City-sponsored or
permitted events are active on City property. Residents and environmental advocates need to see how
to eliminate single-use plastic bags, and single-use containers, or re-commit to recyclable containers
or compostable food ware products. In addition, the City has an opportunity to collect surplus edible
food to be rescued and provided to food rescue organizations as stipulated in the SB 1383 legislation.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the Bureau of Sanitation be instructed to report within 60 days on the
status of implementing Zero Waste Events and Zero Waste Plans to promote Zero Waste Facilities
and Events on City property to achieve the various adopted policies to combat climate change within
the City of Los Angeles and the effectiveness of the recently adopted ordinances. This report should
also include resources needed and updates related to composting in all City facilities, with an
emphasis on expanding composting access in City Hall.

I FURTHER MOVE that the Bureau of Sanitation, with support from General Services Department
and relevant departments that manage their own facilities, be instructed to report on its staffing,
procurement, and budget requirements, its data needs from departments, procurement needs, and
what interdepartmental agreements it should pursue to implement effective programs to achieve our
climate change goals.

 MOTION

 The RecycLA program launched in 2017 with the goal of achieving greater efficiency and waste
 diversion rates citywide. The city shifted from an open market approach to an exclusive franchise
 system serving nearly 65,000 multifamily, commercial, and industrial customers in eleven zones.

 In the intervening years, a variety of state mandates (e.g., AB 1826 and SB 1383) accelerated waste
 diversion requirements, while also impacting costs to the city, haulers, and businesses. China's
 National Sword policy upended global recycling markets and changed the economics of recycling in
 America. Most single use plastics are not recycled, even when put in a "blue bin," and policies such
 as the City's Comprehensive Single Use Plastic Plan (CF 21-0064) are addressing demand for single
 use plastics.

 RecycLA Service Providers (RSPs) disappointingly have not met their diversion goals as stated in
 their franchise service contracts. More than 3,300 commercial customers (5%) that require
 recycling services do not recycle at all, while just over 10% participate in organics collection.
 Meanwhile, rates for recycLA customers increased by 5-8% annually including during the COVID-19
 pandemic when customers were given little flexibility or rate relief.

 The City's Bureau of Sanitation and the Environment (LASAN), is the service provider for more than
 750,000 residendal customers, offering curbside collection of waste, recycling, and organics. In
 2022, LASAN rolled out a citywide organics program, consistent with SB 1383.

 Given the underwhelming performance of the RSPs, the long lead times for completing a new
 procurement of this scale, and the significant changes that have taken place in the regulatory, policy,
 and economic landscape, it is time to evaluate alternative models for waste, recycling, and organics
 collection for commercial and multifamily customers.

 WE THEREFORE MOVE that the Bureau of Sanitation and the Environment (LASAN) report within
 60 days on the status of all recycLA contracts and the recycLA Service Providers' (RSPs) compliance
 with contract objectives and performance requirements. The report should include, at minimum,
 rates charged versus maximum allowed rates, application of additional fees charged, recycling and
 organic diversion targets achieved, standing labor peace agreements, facility certification, food
 rescue and diversion, quality of service (miscollections), and clean (including EV) truck deployment.

 WE FURTHER MOVE that the Chief Legislative Analyst, with assistance from the City Administrative
 Officer, report on alternative franchise hauling structures that are designed to increase competition,
 maximize efficiency, ensure labor peace for undisrupted service, stabilize rates, ensure customer
 protection, and accomplish waste diversion goals consistent with the city's zero waste objectives
 and state law. This report should include recommendations for additional resources needed to
 further refine analysis of franchise models before potentially procuring a new contract, and a
 recommended timeline and summary of the steps required to terminate and replace the franchise
 agreements should the council decide to do so.


 MAR 152023
WE FURTHER MOVE that LASAN report within 60 days on the feasibility of the Bureau directly
providing service to one, multiple, or all zones currently served by RSPs in order to ensure that
waste diversion, recycling, and organic collection objectives are met. This report should include
potential cost, staffing, facility, and equipment estimates.

 HOUSING &HOMELESSNESS
 MOTION

 Through the American Rescue Plan Act, the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles
 (HACLA) was allocated 3,365 Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHV) to assist individuals and
 families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness or fleeing domestic violence/human trafficking
 with rental assistance.

 The EHV Dashboard (https://tinyurl.com/dashboardehv) provides updates on leasing, issuance and
 unit utilization on voucher awards and funding by Public Housing Authorities, including HACLA,
 and as of March 15, 2023, 1,388 EHV participants have leased a unit, and there are 2,625 EHV
 participants with vouchers not yet leased. After September 30, 2023 EHVs will not be re-issued, and
 there is an urgency to assist individuals with EHVs with housing navigation and lease up.

 EHVs were administered through a direct referral process with the Los Angeles Homeless Services
 Authority {LAHSA) and LAHSA Matchers reviewed EHV applications for eligibility, targeting,
 equity and accuracy prior to submitting to HACLA. HACLA processes EHV applications and issues
 EHVs. Once a unit has been identified, HACLA requires landlords to complete a Request for
 Tenancy Approval along with other additional documents, and will reach out to the landlord to
 schedule an inspection and execute the contract. After all these steps have been completed the EHV
 participation will then be able to sign a new lease to move in.

 The pace in which EHVs are completing the lease up process and the lack of communication
 between agencies is concerning, as hundreds of EHVs are now expiring or have expired. Many
 participants with EHVs require additional housing navigation support such as transportation to view
 units and financial assistance with rental applications, deposits and landlord incentives. Currently,
 housing navigation services are limited and LAHSA has directed prioritizing housing navigation
 slots based on document readiness, length of stay, and towards voucher holders as one strategy to
 provide additional support to EHV participants.

 Housing navigators and housing case managers assisting EHV participants often are only able to
 communicate with HACLA case managers via email and when HACLA case managers change,
 housing navigators/case managers assisting EHV participants have had to experience sending
 documents multiple times to different HACLA case managers, causing additional delays. Housing
 navigators/case managers have experienced ambiguity and inconsistency in HACLA's process
 related to appealing or correcting decisions made and for requesting EHV extensions. Most
 importantly, housing navigators/case managers nor EHV participants are notified in advance of
 expiring EHVs or that EHVs have expired.

 I THEREFORE MOVE to request HACLA to report within 15 days on improving communication
 between HACLA case managers and EHV participants and the housing navigators/case managers
 inclusive of addressing staff transition, a more responsive appeals process, updates on pending status,
 notification for expiring EHVs, and additional ways to contact HACLA staff




 MAR 152023
I FURTHER MOVE to request LAHSA to report within 15 days on how housing navigation services
are allocated throughout the LAHSA system and how many are allocated to each interim site, and
how these services are prioritized.

I FURTHER MOVE to request HACLA and LAHSA to review EHVs that have expired and/or will
be expiring and report within 15 days on how requests for extensions will be processed and fulfilled.

I FURTHER MOVE for the Chief Legislative Analyst and City Administrative Officer, with the
assistance ofHACLA, LAHSA and Los Angeles Housing Department, to report within 15 days on
recommendations to improve the EHV issuance, lease up and extension process to align with the
City's goals.

P-22 was the City of Los Angeles' most famous mountain lion. In 2012, after living in the Santa
Monica Mountains, P-22 made the treacherous 50-mile journey-crossing two major freeways-and
found his way to his new permanent home, Griffith Park.

After his discovery, P-22 became the inspiration for many podcasts, news articles, and a devoted
fan club. P-22 served as the subject of scientific research and a catalyst for environmental
initiatives.

P-22 sparked important conversations emphasizing the need for wildlife corridors-networks of
bridges, tunnels, and greenways that would allow animals to safely navigate the deadly, car-centric
infrastructure that has carved up their habitats. This became ever more apparent when, on
December 13, 2022, P-22 was struck by a vehicle while attempting to cross a Los Feliz
intersection. Due to the severity of his injuries, old age, declining health, and recent attacks on pets
in residential areas, the decision was made for P-22 to be euthanized.

Following a tribal ceremony, led by four local tribes, P-22 was laid to rest in the Santa Monica
Mountains on March 4, 2023.

P-22 will remain an important icon for the City of Los Angeles. His story will be remembered as
an environmental catalyst for change, providing a better understanding of urban wildlife and Los
Angeles' infrastructure.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the Department of Recreation and Parks, with the assistance of the
Cultural Affairs Department, the City Administrative Officer, Chief Legislative Analyst, and any
other involved City department, be requested to report back with a proposal, with associated cost,
to install a memorial, including the possibility of a statue, for P-22 on the Tom LaBonge Panorama
Trail in Griffith Park.

The COVID-19 Pandemic was a once in a century public health emergency. In addition to the
millions of lives that were lost, the world economy was turned on its head. Businesses had to
shut their doors and struggled to make ends meet. Many of these businesses were located at El
Pueblo in Downtown.

In order to address the needs of the merchants at El Pueblo, Council approved motions ,
CF20-0882, and CF20-04l 74 that waived rental payments and created a gradual timeline to
increase rents back to their pre-pandemic rates. Despite these efforts by the City to mitigate the
impacts to El Pueblo businesses, some businesses are still struggling to pay their back rent.

Merchants have expressed to the El Pueblo Department (Department) a desire to have payment
plans to pay their rent back over an extended period of time. Moreover, the Department has
been amenable to waiving late fees and interest payments so that the merchants are paying off
the principal instead of being caught in a never ending cycle of debt. Council action is needed in
order to authorize the General Manager of El Pueblo to establish payment plans and waive late
fees and interest charges.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument Authority
Department, be AUTHORIZED, through its General Manager, to negotiate and execute
amendments to the City's existing concession agreements with merchant-tenants to structure
plans for the graduated payment of the full amount of past due rent, so long as all such rent is
paid within 36 months or by the end of the expiration of the concession agreement, whichever is
sooner. Rent that qualifies for such payment plans includes rent that became due between the
Mayor's declaration of a local emergency, on March 4, 2020, and the date on which the City
Council approves this Motion.

I FURTHER MOVE that the El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument Authority
Department be AUTHORIZED, through its General Manager, to waive interest and late charges
on back rent owed for the aforementioned timeframe as well as charges that would be issued
due to the establishment of a graduated payment plan approved by the department.

 MOTION

 The 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games (2028 Games), beginning in Los Angeles on
July 14, 2028, will put the City in the international spotlight. The large-scale events planned for
the 2028 Games, and the influx of visitors expected to attend, adds pressure to the energy
infrastructure of the City to continue to provide power to the entirety of Los Angeles during this
mega-event. Further complicating matters are the emerging realities related to climate change
and the potential to disrupt energy systems.

 It is crucial that the City has plans to provide the necessary energy resources, especially
from clean and renewable resources, for all venues and events related to the 2028 Games. A
comprehensive energy program will require coordination between the City, 2028 Games
coordinators, and local power providers to ensure that there is successful and innovative
infrastructure and services for the 2028 Games.

 The Games Agreement, which serves as the framework for the roles, responsibilities,
commitments, and obligations of the parties involved with hosting the 2028 Games, was
entered into between the City and the Los Angeles Organizing Committee for the Olympic and
Paralympic Games (LA28) in December 2021.

 An important facet of the Games Agreement is the development of the Games Energy
Council, which will bring together the City, LA28, and all other parties responsible for the
delivery of power infrastructure and service to Games-related projects, venues, and events to
facilitate decision-making and cooperation necessary to optimize and meet required levels of
services, and develop plans to support the relevant elements of the Sustainability Plan,
through the completion of the Games.

 The Games Agreement obligates the Games Energy Council to be established by March
31, 2024. To ensure the energy infrastructure and services for a successful 2028 Games, it
would serve the best interests of the City to begin planning and coordination of the Games
Energy Council immediately.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council request the Department of Water and Power, with
the assistance of the Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA) and the City Administrative Officer (CAO),
to report in 90 days on the development of the Games Energy Council component required
under the Games Agreement for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games in order to ensure
energy infrastructure reliability, delivery, service and the attainment of sustainability objectives
for the Games.

 LGBTQIA+ people, particularly transgender and gender non-conforming individuals, are facing a
roll back of basic human and constitutional rights across the nation. These come in the form of
legislation such as bans on necessary medical care, gender non-conforming appearances, participation
in sports, and use of proper restrooms. Discriminatory legislation is also accompanied by dehumanizing
rhetoric which far too often results in stochastic terrorism.

 In 2016, the City of Los Angeles became the largest city in America to establish a permanent
council of transgender and non-binary community leaders 1 to advise the City on how to best serve the
needs of transgender, non-binary and gender non-conforming residents. While Los Angeles has been
proactive in inclusion of the LGBTQIA+ community, there is room for improvement and continual
evolution. The City should ensure our employees receive credible and current information about
LGBTQIA+ issues in order to work with the public and each other respectfully and compassionately.
This includes our mandatory training modules and documents such as our Workplace Gender
Transition Guidelines2 •

 Recently-transitioned employees have raised concerns as to how they have been portrayed in
mandatory Citywide harassment training program materials. The City of Los Angeles Workplace
Gender Transition Guidelines were last updated in January 2014 -- nearly a decade ago. As the City
continues to strive to be a fully equal opportunity employer and fulfill its commitment to creating and
maintaining a diverse workforce that is reflective of Los Angeles, it is important to revisit and update
these procedures.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the Personnel Department review and update any training materials
that relate to LGBTQIA+ people, including but not limited to the mandatory Citywide harassment
training program, and the Workplace Gender Transition Guidelines, in consultation with the City's
Transgender Advisory Council, recently-transitioned employees interested in sharing their feedback,
and other stakeholders.

 MOTION

Crossing guards, deployed to school crossings across the City of Los Angeles, provide experience
and judgment to help children negotiate a school crossing, while also increasing the visibility of
their presence to drivers. They are a valuable educational resource to enhance the safety of
students, specifically those walking and cycling in school zones.

The City's Crossing Guard Program is administered by the Department of Transportation's (DOT)
Parking Enforcement and Traffic Control Division with the support of the District Engineers. The
work schedule is based on the assigned school's bell schedule. Shifts are split to provide coverage
prior to the start of school and following the end of the school day at the same location. Some
shifts may begin earlier than 6:30 AM. Crossing Guards may work up to 3.5 hours a day.

The Crossing Guard Program has long faced staffing shortages and hiring delays, particularly in
the last two budget cycles. The Los Angeles Unified School District has expressed interest in
pursuing additional measures to expedite hiring related to Crossing Guards. These measures
include the possibility of utilizing the City's Targeted Local Hire and Bridge to Jobs Programs,
which connect under-served and under-employed populations with alternative pathways to
rewarding Civil Service careers within the City of Los Angeles.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the Department of Transportation (DOT),
with assistance of the Personnel Department, to report to the Personnel, Audits, & Hiring
Committee on the status of the Crossing Guard Program; potential ways to expedite the hiring of
crossing guards, including reducing the time needed to complete the criminal background checks
and obtain medical clearance from the City's Medical Services Division; DOT's coordination
efforts with the Los Angeles Unified School District; and the potential to develop a program for
local volunteers to assist in crossing guard duties.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council instruct the Personnel Department, in coordination
with the Department of Transportation, to report to the Personnel, Audits, & Hiring Committee
on the feasibility of utilizing City's hiring initiatives, such as the Targeted Local Hire and Bridge
to Jobs Programs or other similar programs, to recruit and hire crossing guards.

 PLANNING &LAND USE MANAGEMENT
 MOTION

 Following the initiation of a General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation for properties
located at 9704-97 I 2 West Oak Pass Road, 9800, 9801-98 I 5 West Wanda Park Drive, 2534 North Hutton Drive
from Very Low I Residential, Very Low II Residential, and Minimum Residential to High-Medium Residential by
the Director of Planning, in March 2018, the Applicant submitted case materials for the Retreat at Benedict
Canyon Project (Project) (Case Nos. CPC-2018-1506-GPA-VZC-SP-SPP-SPR, CPC-2018-1507-DA, and
VTT-74908). In November 2020, the Initial Study was released for the Project. The Initial Study found potentially
significant impacts related to air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, energy, geology/soils,
Greenhouse Gas emissions, land use / planning, noise, public services, transportation, tribal cultural resources,
and wildfire as a result of the Project, and thus required an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).

 The Project described in the Initial Study proposes a 59-room hotel and eight single-family homes on an
approximately 32.67-acre property in Benedict Canyon. The hotel portion of the site would consist of a total of 18
hotel buildings, totaling 59 guest rooms, a standalone parking structure, a funicular railway, and a main hotel
building including outdoor amenities, commercial space, and subterranean parking. The hotel use could include
special events and would have approximately 90 full time equivalent staff. The residential portion of the site
would contain eight single-family homes, ranging between 12,000 and 48,000 square feet of residential floor area
with associated garage parking. Development of the overall site would also include the removal of existing trees
(including protected trees) and vegetation and the installation of new landscaping, pathways, exterior decks, and
other outdoor amenities. Preliminary site grading would require approximately 117,230 cubic yards of total
grading and result in the off-site export of approximately 950 cubic yards of soil, while the remaining I 16,280
cubic yards of cut would be balanced on-site. Maximum excavation depths would be approximately 62 feet below
the existing grade . In addition to protected trees, the subject site is and has the potential to be habitat for
candidate, sensitive, or special-status species, such as Braunton 's milkvetch, coast live oak, and mountain lion, as
identified by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

 The discretionary entitlements, reviews, permits, and approvals required to implement the Project include
the following: General Plan Amendment; Vesting Zone Change (VZC) to change the site zoning to the Benedict
Canyon Specific Plan zone; Specific Plan to establish allowable uses, development standards, and design
guidelines for the development of the hotel and residential uses on-site; Vesting Tentative Tract Map for the
merger and subdivision of the site into nine lots; and other discretionary and ministerial permits and approvals that
may be deemed necessary, including, but not limited to, ternpora1y street closure permits, haul route, grading
pem1its, excavation permits, foundation permits, building permits, and sign permits.

 Since the General Plan Amendment initiation, case filing, and publishing of the Initial Study, details
related to the project have been brought to the attention of the City Council. The proposed six-star hotel will strain
infrastructure in a community otherwise planned and developed for low-density, single-family development. The
City has sufficient lands zoned for hotels with adequate infrastructure within fully urbanized areas. The secluded
hillside location is isolated from other business, public transpo1iation, public services and other cultural amenities
which underscores the unessential nature of the project as it relates to the community, city, and region. Due to the
remote hillside location and other reasons mentioned above, the project will not enhance the built environment in
the surrounding neighborhood or perfonn a function or provide a service that is essential or beneficial to the
community, city, or region.

 Events such as weddings, corporate functions, dinners, and film screenings are proposed as part of hotel
operations. The scale of such events would be inconsistent with the typical overall intensity of activity in the
surrounding community, degrading the community with additional noise from patrons and amplified music,
automobile trips, and impacts commensurate with the service of alcoholic beverages and live entertainment. The

 Mt~ 1 J ::~3
unique geography and topography of the location will further challenge the operator to maintain compliance with
the Los Angeles Municipal Code Citywide Noise Ordinance, and typical noise control measures within the
property such as noise ban-iers, sound absorbers, and buffer zones will be less effective. As such, the project's
hillside location, size, height, operations, and other significant features will not be compatible with and will
adversely affect or further degrade adjacent properties, the smTounding neighborhood, and public health, welfare,
and safety.

 Since the Initial Study was released in 2020, major new reports have highlighted the importance of
protecting wildlife habitat and open space. The City has also advanced significant policies to direct development
away from hillsides and undeveloped properties. These policies further implement General Plan Framework
Policies supporting conservation areas. In February 2021, the Department of City Planning published the
Protection Areas for Wildlife (PAWs) evaluation to identify important habitats for sustaining wildlife and
connectivity within the City. In June 2022, the Los Angeles Sanitation and Environment Department published
the LA Biodiversity Index Baseline Report, which highlighted the key role Los Angeles' municipal government
must play in preserving biodiversity and the critical importance of preserving LA's unique ecosystem and place
within the California floristic province, one of only 36 globally-recognized biodiversity hotspots.

 On November 22, 2022, the City Council adopted a resolution directing the City (i) to treat the Santa
Monica Mountains Conservancy (SMMC) as a trustee agency for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
for any project within the Santa Monica Mountains Zone and (ii) the Planning Department and other City
Departments to consider the SMMC Eastern Santa Monica Mountains Natural Resources Protection Plan, adopted
in December of 2021, in future CEQA actions and work with SMMC on all future habitat maps.

 On November 29, 2021, the City Council adopted an update to the Safety Element to address wildfire
risk, among other State requirements. The update to the Safety Element found:

 Due to climate change the region today is subject to more frequent and severe wildfires. As of 2020, eight
 of the ten largest fires in California history occurred during the past decade. The 2009 Station Fire is the
 largest wildfire on record in LA County, with 160,557 acres burned. The 2020 Bobcat Fire burned
 115,796 acres and contributed to hazardous air quality across the region, a challenge compounded by the
 surging Covid-19 pandemic, which kept many from seeking relief in communal facilities.

 Today the City's approach to preventing and mitigating wildfire risk includes building standards, brush
 clearance, roadway requirements, parking restrictions, zoning limitations, and many more interventions
 detailed below.

Among other policies, the Updated Safety Element added the following policy to reduce risks of wildfire:

 1.1. 8 Land Use. Consider hazard information and available mitigations when making decisions about
 future land use. Maintain existing low density and open space designations in Very High Fire Hazard
 Severity Zones. Ensure mitigations are incorporated for new development in hazard areas such as
 VFIFFISZs, landslide areas, flood zones and in other areas with limited adaptive capacity.

 The Project is located in a Very High Fire Severity Zone. Wildfire risk is continually exacerbated by
continuing and escalating climate change. The Project is not consistent with the Updated Safety Element to
maintain existing low density residential and open space in such zones.

 In December 2022, the City Planning Commission sent forward the Wildlife Ordinance to the City
Council; upon adoption (expected shortly), this Ordinance will signal the strongest affirmation from the City that
it is of the highest impo1iant to reduce cumulative development impacts on plants, animals and natural resources
while providing co-benefits related to climate resilience and public health. These significant new reports and
policy changes, coupled with the continued prevalence of wildfires affecting communities at the wildland-urban
interface (the 2018 Wolsey Fire, 2019 Getty Fire, and 2021 Palisades Fire to name a few), constitute substantial
new evidence that must be considered by the Director of Planning as having some bearing on the General Plan
Amendment initiation.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council request the Director of Planning to consider rescinding the
initiation of a General Plan Amendment for the Retreat at Benedict Canyon Project, Case No.
CPC-2018-1506-GPA-VZC-SP-SPP-SPR, located at 9704-9712 West Oak Pass Road, 9800, 9801-9815 West
Wanda Park Drive, and 2534 No1th Hutton Drive, in the Bel Air-Beverly Crest Community Plan Area, inasmuch
as the proposed amendment does not reflect the land use patterns, trends , uses, and environmental and,. safety
concerns, and does not further the intent, purposes, and objectives of the General Plan, including the Community
Plan, the Framework Element, and the Safety Element. Q

 Jose Manuel Saucedo was born on September 5, 1955 in Naica, Chihuahua, Mexico. While
he would one day become the patriarch behind the famous Westside Boxing Club in the Mid City
Neighborhood, he spent his early life working as a miner in his hometown and listening to Mexican
boxing matches on the radio.

 In the early 1990s, Jose and his wife, Leticia, immigrated to the United States. They were
both initially employed at a sewing factory, working 12-hour shifts and earning only $2 an hour.
They soon saved enough money to bring their two sons, Jose Jr. and Ignacio, to join them in Los
Angeles.

 Growing up, Jose had always encouraged Jose Jr. and Ignacio to play sports, passing down
his love of boxing. However, as their training become more serious, the gym fees at local boxing
gyms like the Broadway Boxing Gym in South Los Angeles were expensive and made it difficult
for both to regularly box.

 By 2006, Jose. Jr and Ignacio both had families of their own and Jose was a grandfather to
eight children, including one grandson who was beginning to box. As his grandson was training at
different gyms which were expensive, facing the same barriers that Jose Jr. and Ignacio had faced,
Jose spoke to his sons about opening their own boxing gym.

 In 2007, the Westside Boxing Club opened its doors, offering a serious boxing gym that
many famed boxers would go on to train at, including Oscar de la Hoya and Canelo Alvarez, but
also providing a place for youth like Jose's own grandson to box at. Today, the gym serves as a
world-class training ground for professional boxers and offers a place for at-risk youth in a
historically disadvantaged area to train in the sport that the Saucedo family has been practicing for
so many decades.

 In recognition of Mr. Saucedo's inspiring story and the role of Westside Boxing Club in
its community and in the boxing sport writ large, it is appropriate that the City name the
intersection of Pico Boulevard and West Boulevard, adjacent to the Westside Boxing Club, as
"Jose Manuel Saucedo Square."

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the intersection at Pico Boulevard and West Boulevard be
named as "Jose Manuel Saucedo Square" and that the Department of Transportation be directed
to erect permanent ceremonial sign(s) to this effect at this location.

 The Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) is in the process of
constructing two projects along the east side of Center Street between Commercial Street and
Banning Street. The first is the Division 20 - Portal Widening and Turnback Project where Metro
is expanding its existing rail yard facilities east of Center Street. The second is the Metro Center
Project where Metro is constructing a new security operations facility on the parcel fronting Center
Street between Ducommun Street and Jackson Street.

 The two Metro projects have each submitted separate street vacation applications. The
Division 20 Project has requested that the City vacate portions of Ducommun Street, Jackson
Street, and Banning Street east of Center Street (VAC-E1401334). The Metro Center Project has
requested the City vacate a portion of the public right-of-way on the east side of Center Street
between Ducommun Street and Jackson Street (VAC-E1401385).

 On March 8, 2022, the Council conditionally approved the vacation of a portion of the east
side of Center Street between Ducommun Street and Jackson Street for the Metro Center Project
(C.F. 20-0849). As part of the Council's approval, Metro is required to satisfy conditions included
in the Bureau of Engineering (BOE) report dated January 5, 2022.

 Metro has subsequently requested a review of the viability of several of the conditions
contained in the BOE report. Metro noted that highway dedications and public right-of-way
improvements required under the Metro Center Project vacation conditions are within the
boundaries of the area being vacated under the Division 20 Project vacation, which the Council
had approved on June 22, 2021 (C.F. 18-0191). Metro has requested that these conditions for
highway dedication and public right-of-way improvements under the Metro Center Project
vacation request be waived.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council Action of March 8, 2022, relative to the vacation
of a portion of the east side of Center Street from Ducommun Street and Jackson Street (VAC-
E1401385) (C.F. 20-0849), BE AMENDED to DELETE Conditions 5b, 5c, 6a.i, 6a.iii, 6b, and 6c

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, it is the policy of the City of Los Angeles to promote bicycling as a healthy and
environmentally- beneficial alternative to motor vehicles and the City's Mobility Plan 2035 calls
for creation of a Neighborhood Network of traffic-calmed local streets; and

WHEREAS, to promote bicycling, both our built environment and our traffic laws should be
designed to accommodate bicyclists and to recognize the ways that bicycles are different from
motor vehicles; and

WHEREAS, because bicycles are human-powered and it is highly inefficient for bicyclists to
come to a full and complete stop at every stop sign, it is normal bicyclist behavior to come to a
"rolling stop" at stop signs while yielding to motor vehicles that have the right way, which is
commonly known as a "Safety Stop" or "Idaho Stop"; and

WHEREAS, as long as bicyclists yield the right of way to vehicles in accordance with existing
law, an Idaho Stop is safe, and the risk of any injury is generally borne by the bicyclist and not
the occupant of a motor vehicle; and

WHEREAS, State traffic laws that do not reflect the way people actually travel and that do not
provide a safety benefit create an opportunity for pretextual and/or biased policing; and

WHEREAS, in addition to Idaho, the states of Oregon, Washington, Utah, Oklahoma, Arkansas,
Delaware and North Dakota, have passed Safety Stop laws; and Colorado has authorized local
jurisdictions to do so; and

WHEREAS, AB 73 (Boerner Horvath), the Safety Stop Bill, would amend California Vehicle
Code section 22450 to exempt riders of bicycles who are 18 years of age or older from the
requirement to come to full stop at a stop sign where the cross streets have two or fewer lanes,
but would require persons riding a bicycle, including an electric bicycle, to yield the right-of-way
to any vehicles that have stopped at the entrance of the intersection, have entered the
intersection, or that are approaching on the intersecting highway close enough to constitute an
immediate hazard, and continue to yield the right- of-way to those vehicles until reasonably safe
to proceed; and

WHEREAS, AB 73 is similar to legislation (AB 122) that was passed by the State Legislature in
the 2021-22 State legislative session but vetoed by Governor Newsom; and incorporates
changes to address the concerns stated in his veto message, including requiring children to




 MAR 1 5 2023
come to a complete stop, and allowing safety stops only where streets of two lanes or fewer
intersect; and

WHEREAS, AB 73 is consistent with the City's policies to promote safe and effective bicycling,
would facilitate bicycling on slower-speed local streets, and would help promote equitable
policing throughout California;

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 2023-2024 State Legislative Program
SUPPORT for AB 73 (Boerner Horvath), the Safety Stop Bill, which would amend California
Vehicle Code section 22450 to allow adult riders of bicycles and electric bicycles to treat stop
signs as yields.

 MOTION

 In September 2022, after a two and a half year pause due to the pandemic, the City
resumed its Speed Hump Program (Program). Designed to slow traffic and deter reckless driving
in residential neighborhoods, the Program allows residents, neighborhood organizations, schools,
and other groups or individuals to apply for a speed hump to be installed on a residential street.

 While the Program is popular, only a finite number of speed humps can be constructed
across the City due to limited funding. Each application cycle closes when a total of 375
applications have been received. According to the Department of Transportation, the 2022
application cycle reached capacity within minutes of opening.

 The application process is rigorous and time consuming, and selected applications are
prioritized based on technical feasibility and need. Since the Program began, competition among
neighborhoods has increased. Additionally, there is growing interest from elementary schools
that would like to utilize this critical traffic safety tool.

 To ensure the safety of children and the surrounding school communities, the City should
establish a dedicated speed hump program for elementary schools.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the Department of Transportation report on the feasibility of
establishing a dedicated speed hump program for elementary schools, including the required
funding and staffing resources and a timeline for execution.
