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.org; 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.


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

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.

 The City of Los Angeles Department of Aging s m1ss1on is o improve e qua i y o 1 e,
independence, health, and dignity of the City's growing older adult population by managing a
community-based system of care that is comprehensive, coordinated, and accessible across all Council
Districts.
 With City Council's support, the Department launched and has operated an Emergency Meals
Program for Older Adults to supplement its existing grant-funded Congregate and Home Delivered Meal
Programs. This program was developed as an emergency response to address food insecurity during the
COVID-19 pandemic, an issue that existed prior to and highlighted by the pandemic and continues to
have a disparate impact on the physical and mental health of older adults. Over the past year, the program
has provided meals to upwards of 6,000 individuals weekly, with one or two home-delivered meals daily.
Many of these older adults have limited access to meals, either because of unstable income or because of
a reluctance to frequent public spaces stemming from the real risk of suffering the severe consequences of
contracting COVID-19, influenza, or RSV. As noted recently in the Los Angeles Times, "There has been
a troubling spike in coronavirus-positive hospital admissions among seniors in California, rising to levels
not seen since the summer Omicron surge. " These two factors have been the primary drivers of why
many of the City's older adult residents continue to rely on home-delivered meals.
 Despite the additional funds that the City Council provided last year through the City's Budget
process, the high demand for and enrollment in the supplemental emergency meals program have
demonstrated the need to provide more long term, sustainable solutions to food insecurity. In this regard,
the Department of Aging has begun the process of sunsetting this program and transitioning current
participants to its grant-funded, staple Congregate and Home Delivered Meals programs. The Department
has notified participants that the program will end by January 15, 2023. In an effort to transition the
affected older adults as smoothly as possible while minimizing the disruption to their meal service, the
Department has identified $480,000 of savings in its budget to extend this program an additional week or
more.
I THEREFORE MOVE that the Department of Aging be authorized to transfer identified savings into
the Contractual Services account; to augment the funding and extend the contract term with its current
provider (Everytable); and, per Council instruction, authorize the Department to submit an interim budget
request for additional funding to continue the program beyond its current closing date of January 15,
2023 .
I FURTHER MOVE that the Department of Aging works with the Office of the City Administrative
Officer to continue reviewing its budget to identify additional savings that could be added to the
Department's contractual services account to further support the Senior Meals Program.
I FURTHER MOVE that Council, subject to the approval of the Mayor, AUTHORIZE the Controller to:

 A. Transfer FY 21-22 General City Purpose (GCP) fund savings of $480,000 to FY 22-23 Senior
 Emergency Meals Program (SMP). Establish a new account and appropriate $480,000 within

Municipal Codes Section 80.69.4, hereby prohibits the parking of vehicles that are in excess of
22 feet in length or over 84 inches in height, during the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. along

 R ,yi R. COUNCIL AGENDA TO BE POSTED #53

 Traffic violations and reckless driving endanger drivers, pedestrians, and vulnerable populations
 that may share the roads or sidewalks. The Los Angeles Police Department's (LAPD) Valley
 Traffic Division has been able to provide focused attention to areas in high need of traffic
 enforcement through strategic planning.

 One of the LAP D's primary tools to reduce collisions has been enforcement and education to
 modify poor driving behaviors. Targeted enforcement and education efforts in the Third Council
 District have focused on primary collision factors, as well as the quality-of-life issues related to
 loud modified exhausts, street racing, and street takeovers. The existing volume of calls for
 service related to traffic collisions have depleted the availability of traffic enforcement
 personnel available for enforcement and education duties. Additional funding is needed for
 overtime to allow officers to conduct the necessary enforcement and education duties to
 reduce poor driving behaviors that lead to collisions.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that $100,000 from the Council District 3 portion of the "Neighborhood
 Service Enhancements" line item in the General City Purposes Fund No. 100-56, be transferred I
 appropriated to the Police Fund No. 100-70, Account No. 001092 {Sworn Overtime), for
 supplemental traffic safety measures in Council District 3.

 I FURTHER MOVE that Police Department be authorized to make any corrections, clarifications,
 or revisions to the above fund transfer instructions, including any new instructions, in order to
 effectuate the intent of this Motion, and including any corrections and changes to fund or
 account numbers; said corrections I clarifications I changes may be made orally, electronically
 or by any other means.

 PUBLIC SAFETY
 MOTION

In just the first three days of 2023, three Angelenos were killed by the Los Angeles Police
Department (LAPD) in separate incidents whilst in the midst of crises. Takar Smith, Keenan
Anderson, and Oscar Leon were each dealing with their own challenging, treatable moments
and our City's emergency response not only failed them and their loved ones, but took their
lives.

Every Angeleno should be able to trust that when they call Emergency Services they will be
delivered safe, compassionate, effective services that truly meet the moment. While Los
Angeles has seen success with pilot programs such as the Therapeutic Vans operated by the
LA County Department of Mental Health and the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), we do
not yet have enough capacity to meet the demand, or the severity of certain mental health
crises. There are many other models throughout the country with remarkable track records that
are worth studying and understanding as we work toward a care-first approach to crises in Los
Angeles. One example of success in this arena is Denver's Support Team Assisted Response
(STAR) Program, which deploys, through 911, Emergency Response Teams that include
Emergency Medical Technicians and Behavioral Health Clinicians to engage individuals
experiencing distress related to mental health issues, poverty, homelessness, and substance
abuse. '

We cannot delay or leave any stone unturned as we reckon with the reality that in our City, as
the beginning of this year has already proved, seeking support in a moment of crisis can result
in an individual's death. LAPD officers are not trained mental health professionals and deploying
them to respond to these types of emergency calls will never result in the outcomes we need.
We must protect the people of this City and we must make sure that we are doing so by creating
a model based on proven successes.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the Office of the City Administrative Officer identify funding to pay for
travel, lodging, and any other expenses required for the Denver Support Team Assisted
Response {STAR) Program to come to Los Angeles to make a presentation to the City Council
and any relevant City Departments, including LAFD.

 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT & JOBS
 HOUSING ~
 MOTION

In the wake of a crime, it is the City's responsibility to ensure that the victim and their family are
connected with services to help them as they navigate a challenging and life-changing trauma.
Whether it's _financial aid, housing relocation, food, counseling, or legal services, there are many
critical resources that the City can and should assist residents with navigating.

This is especially true for victims of police violence. The recent deaths of Takar Smith, Keenan
Anderson, and Oscar Leon have revealed a complicated and decentralized web of services and
resources available to victims and their families. Sometimes the offer of these services to
victims comes from the police station from which the responding officer was deployed. It is
unsettling and traumatic for the entity responsible for causing harm to a family to be the same
entity reaching out to offer support or services.

The City Attorney's Office also houses the Victim Assistance Program which is dedicated to
serving crime victims located in the Los Angeles area and beyond. These victim advocates have
offices located throughout the City of Los Angeles iri various Los Angeles Police Department area
stations. In cases where lawsuits are filed against the Los Angeles Police Department, the City
Attorney will serve as legal representation for the department. As such, it is inappropriate for a
victim or family's potential opposing legal counsel to be the entity guiding them through
care-focused programs. For these reasons, it is imperative that we create a program that can
truly provide the necessary trauma-informed care and resources to victims and their families

The Community Investment for Families Department (CIFD)'s explicit mission is to "align and
augment community investments for families and neighborhoods in the City of Los Angeles and
create opportunities for all Angelenos to prosper," and already serves as a link between
community members and services such as Homelessness Prevention, Domestic
Violence/Human Trafficking Shelter, and Los Angeles' Guaranteed Basic Income Pilot Program
(BIG: LEAP). Connection to survivor services should come from a department that is involved in
the support and betterment of Angelenos.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the Community Investment for Families
Department, in collaboration with the Civil + Human Rights and Equity Department, the Office of
the City Administrative Officer, and the Office of the Chief Legislative Analyst, in consultation
with the City Attorney's Office t_o report back within 60 days on funding and procurement
process necessary to create an Office of Survivor and Victims Services within CIFD to serve as
the sole provider of survivor and victim services, including in cases of police violence. This
report should include a process and timeline to end the Office of the City Attorney's Victim
Services Program and LAPD's Family Liaison Program, replacing those programs with the new
Office of Survivor Services housed within CIFD.

 BUDGET & FINANCE
 MOTION
 The Third Council District (CD 3) has received a request to donate one 2003 Ford
  E250 van to About My Father's Business, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit organization
  that advocates for unhoused, food and financially unsecured City residents while also
  providing tents, clothing, food, water and resources to assist people in gaining access to
  shelter.

 Section 22.547 of the Los Angeles Administrative Code provides that upon
  Council approval, surplus City equipment may be sold for less than market value to a
  non-profit organization located in the City of Los Angeles, which has been established
  exclusively to further the services provided by the City and its departments. About My
  Father's Business is located at 7210 Jordan A venue #C61 in the City of Los Angeles.
  The donation of the van would allow About My Father's Business to further their
  humanitarian purposes and benefit the residents of the City of Los Angeles by
  transporting individuals' personal property to a storage facility. The total fair market
  value of the van is estimated to be approximately $1800, which will be forgone revenue
  should it be donated.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council:

 1. Find that About My Father's Business is eligible to purchase one 2003 Ford
 E250 van (VIN# 1FTNE24L93HB87879) at below market value ($1.00) in
 accordance with LAAC Sec. 22.547 (Donation of Surplus City Equipment), as
 the recipient in a non-profit organization that has been established exclusively
 to further the services provided by the City; and

 2. Request the City Attorney to prepare a contract to effectuate the sale and
 transfer of the above identified surplus equipment at below market value to
 About My Father's Business, as expeditiously as possible; and

 3. Instruct the City Clerk to inform About My Father's Business [Kathy Huck,
 (805) 428-2881, 7210 Jordan Avenue #C61, Canoga Park, California 91303]
 that the surplus equipment must be claimed within 90 days from the date of
 Council approval of the request after which time it will revert to the City's
 surplus equipment pool for disposal by the Department of General Services.

 RULES, ELECTIONS, INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS
 MOTION

The Los Angeles Municipal Code ("LAMC") includes at least 200 instances in which it
presumes the genders of city officials and members of the public. Some examples include:

" ... The Mayor is hereby empowered to declare the existence of a local emergency or disaster
when he finds that any of the circumstances described in Section 8.22 hereof exist. .. " (Sec.
8.27); " ... the City Attorney shall determine whether or not he should represent the officer or
employee as requested" (Sec. 11.39); " .. .It shall be the duty of any person after he has served his
employment with any private patrol or bank ... " (Sec. 52.13). "... the Chairman of the Budget and
Finance Committee, the Chairman of the Land Use Management Committee, and the Chairman
of the Commerce, Energy and Natural Resources Committee" (Sec.8.1)

Such language is inaccurate. The current Mayor and City Attorney, for example, are both women
who use she/her pronouns. The LAMC should be amended to reflect the gender diversity of our
city leadership.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council request the City Attorney prepare an ordinance to
