 Telecommunication Relay Services for the hearing impaired, please see the information below.

 Telecommunication Relay Services

 Telephone communication is one of the most important forms of communication in society today. Due to
 advancements in technology, telephone devices have evolved with new services and capabilities. Individuals who are
 deaf and hard of hearing, and individuals with a speech disability are following these trends and are rapidly migrating
 to more advanced telecommunications methods, both for peer-to-peer and third-party telecommunications relay
 service (TRS) communications. Telecommunications Relay Service is a telephone service that allows persons with
 hearing or speech disabilities to place and receive telephone calls. TRS is available in all 50 states, the District of
 Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. territories for local and/or long distance calls. TRS providers - generally telephone
 companies - are compensated for the costs of providing TRS from either a state or a federal fund. There is no cost to
 the TRS user.

 What forms of TRS are available? There are several forms of TRS, depending on the particular needs of the user and
 the equipment available: TRS includes: Text to Voice TIY-Based TRS; Speech-to-Speech Relay Service; Shared Non-
 English Language Relay Service; Captioned Telephone Relay Service; Internet Protocol Relay Service; and Video
 Relay Service. Please visit this site for detail descriptions, https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/telecommunications-
 relay-service-trs.

 Don't hang up! Some people hang up on TRS calls because they think the CA is a telemarketer. If you hear, "Hello.
 This is the relay service .. . " when you pick up the phone, please don't hang up! You are about to talk, through a TRS
 provider, to a person who is deaf, hard-of-hearing, or has a speech disability.

 For more information about FCC programs to promote access to telecommunications services for people with
 disabilities, visit the FCC's Disability Rights Office website.

 BASIC CITY COUNCIL MEETING RULES

 AGENDAS - The City Council meets Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at 10:00 A.M. The agendas for City Council
 meetings contain a brief general description of those items to be considered at the meetings. Council Agendas are
 available in the Office of the City Clerk, Council and Public Services Division, Room 395, City Hall, 200 North Spring
 Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012, and on the City's website at lacity.gov or lacouncilcalendar.com.

 Ten (10) members of the Council constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The Council may consider an
 item not listed on the agenda only if it is determined by a two-thirds (10) vote that the need for action arose after the
 posting of an Agenda. Some items on the agenda may be approved without any discussion, however, any item may
 be called "special" by a Councilmember. If an item is called "special" it will be "held" until the remainder of the items on
 the Council agenda have been acted on by the Council. An item may also be called "special" if a member of the public
 has requested to speak on the item and a public hearing was not previously held.

 The City Clerk will announce the items to be considered by the Council, however items will be grouped. For example,
 all items for which required public hearings have not previously been held are listed in one section on the printed
 agenda. The Council President will ask if any Councilmember or member or the public wishes to speak on one or
 more of these items. If anyone wishes to speak on an item, it will be called "special". The remaining items in this
 section will be voted on by Council with one roll call vote.

 PUBLIC INPUT AT CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS - An opportunity for the public to address the Council on agenda
 items for which public hearings have not been held will be provided at the time the item is considered or during the
 Multiple Agenda Item Comment period. Members of the public who wish to speak on items shall be allowed to speak
 for up to one minute per item up to a total of three minutes per meeting. The Council has determined that a cumulative
 total of 20 minutes is a reasonable minimum amount of time for the Multiple Agenda Item segment of each regular
 meeting.

 The Council will also provide an opportunity for the public to speak on public interest items. Each speaker shall be
 limited to one minute of general public comment each regular meeting for a cumulative total of ten (10) minutes. The
 Council shall not discuss or take action relative to any general public comment.

 If you wish to provide documents to the full Council for consideration on an item, please present the Sergeant-At-Arms
 with 35 copies. Otherwise, your materials will simply be added to the official record.

 NOTICE TO PAID REPRESENTATIVES - If you are compensated to monitor, attend, or speak at this meeting, City
 law may require you to register as a lobbyist and report your activity. See Los Angeles Municipal Code 48.01 et seq.
 More information is available at ethics.lacity.org/lobbying. For assistance, please contact the Ethics Commission at
 (213) 978-1960 or ethics.commission@lacity.org.

 COUNCIL DISCUSSION AND TIME LIMITS - Councilmembers requesting to address the Council will be recognized
 by the Council President in the order requested. For any item, the Chairperson of the Committee, or the maker of the
 original motion, or the member calling a matter "special" shall have up to six (6) minutes to discuss the item. All other
 Councilmembers may speak up to three (3) minutes each on the matter. After all members desiring to speak on a
 question have had an opportunity to be heard once, the time for each Member desiring to speak again shall be limited
 to a maximum of three (3) minutes.

 A motion calling the "previous question" may be introduced by any member during a Council debate. If adopted, this
 motion will terminate debate on a matter and the Chair will instruct the Clerk to call the roll on the matter.




Friday - February 27, 2026 - 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.

 reasons:
 a. CPCCF offers a safe environment for community growth
 and connection.




Friday - February 27, 2026 - PAGE 7

 impossible, for residents to continue hosting the irregular

 at 550 Ramirez Street, CA 90026 for the Los Angeles Police
 Department (LAPD) Motor Transport Division (MTD).

 Recommendation for Council action:
 AUTHORIZE the Department of General Services (GSD) to negotiate

 for LAPD vehicle storage at 550 Ramirez Street, Los Angeles, CA
 90012 under the terms and conditions as substantially outlined in the
 February 3, 2026 Municipal Facilities Committee (MFC) report,
 attached to the Council File.

 Fiscal Impact Statement: The MFC reports that there is no anticipated
 General Fund impact. Based on the projections provided by GSD,
 there is sufficient savings within the Citywide Leasing Account to fund
 the leasing costs. Also, funding for the lease is included in the 2025-
 26 General Funded Leasing Account Budget in the amount of
 $53,201.52. Current monthly rent is $4,433.46, which is projected to
 cover five months of the fiscal year while the proposed rent of $8,200
 per month applies to the remaining seven months as the new term
 and rate is effective December 1, 2025. Total fiscal year expenses
 are projected at $79,565, which is $26,363 more than the budgeted
 amount resulting in a negative impact to the General Fund. The GSD




Friday - February 27, 2026 - PAGE 8
 will include this amount in the next quarterly status report of the
 Leasing Account as there may be other savings which can offset this
 deficit.

 at 550 Ramirez Street, CA 90026 for the Los Angeles Police




Friday - February 27, 2026 - PAGE 4
 Department (LAPD) Motor Transport Division (MTD).

 Recommendation for Council action:
 AUTHORIZE the Department of General Services (GSD) to negotiate
 and execute a lease agreement with Caltrans for the use of property
 for LAPD vehicle storage at 550 Ramirez Street, Los Angeles, CA
 90012 under the terms and conditions as substantially outlined in the
 February 3, 2026 Municipal Facilities Committee (MFC) report,
 attached to the Council File.

 Fiscal Impact Statement: The MFC reports that there is no anticipated
 General Fund impact. Based on the projections provided by GSD,
 there is sufficient savings within the Citywide Leasing Account to fund
 the leasing costs. Also, funding for the lease is included in the 2025-
 26 General Funded Leasing Account Budget in the amount of
 $53,201.52. Current monthly rent is $4,433.46, which is projected to
 cover five months of the fiscal year while the proposed rent of $8,200
 per month applies to the remaining seven months as the new term
 and rate is effective December 1, 2025. Total fiscal year expenses
 are projected at $79,565, which is $26,363 more than the budgeted
 amount resulting in a negative impact to the General Fund. The GSD
 will include this amount in the next quarterly status report of the
 Leasing Account as there may be other savings which can offset this
 deficit.

 which exempts "{s]urplus land that is less than one-halfacre in
 area and is not contiguous to land owned by a state or local
 agency that is used for open-space or low- and moderate-

 cannot qualify as exempt surplus land if it is:

 a. Within a coastal zone


 b. Adjacent to a historical unit of the State Parks System


 c. Listed on, or determined by the State Office of Historic
 Preservation to be eligible for, the National Register of

 MOTION



For many years, the pedestrian tunnel located at the intersection of Soto Street and 7th Street in
Boyle Heights beside Soto Street Elementary School has threatened community safety. Hazards
resulting from trash and debris flows after adverse weather conditions as well as harmful
activities inside the tunnel deter pedestrians, including students using the passageway in their
daily commute to school.

As previous efforts to adequately close the tunnel have been unsuccessful, there is an urgent
need for the City to develop a permanent solution to close the tunnel. This endeavor will
advance safer, more accessible streets for our students, educators, workers, families, and
surrounding community.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the Bureau of Engineering, in collaboration
with Bureau of Street Services and other relevant City departments, to report on
recommendations to permanently close the pedestrian tunnel at the intersection of Soto Street
and 7th Street, beside Soto Street Elementary School. The report should include all feasible
closure options and their estimated costs.

 MOTION HOUSING & HOMELESSNESS

Access Centers are a critical lifeline in Los Angeles's homelessness response system, serving as a primary
point of entry to housing, healthcare, employment support, and essential public services. Through the
Coordinated Entry System, Access Centers provide initial screenings, emergen� y referrals case
 '.
management, mail services, and connections to public benefit programs. These services are dehver�d
citywide and are often accessed repeatedly, with many individuals rely ing ?n Access Centers for daily
 _ _
basic needs such as hygiene, nutrition, medical care, safety and communication. The City of Los Angeles
currently provides these services through 8 Access Centers: Downtown Women's Center (CD14),
Harbor Interfaith (CD15), Hope The Mission (CO2), HOPI CS (CD9), Midnight Mission (CD14), St. Joseph
Center (CD11), Weingart (CD14), and WLCAC (CD15).

Access Centers stabilize individuals and communities, reducing reliance on emergency rooms and other
high-cost public systems while strengthening public health and safety across neighborhoods. As Los
Angeles responds to federal immigration activity and prepares for global events such as the World Cup
and the 2028 Olympic Games, Access Centers play an essential role in absorbing system shocks and
maintaining continuity of care.

Access Centers are currently set to lose funding, threatening the continuity of leveraged resources and
services unlocked by base funding previously provided by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority
(LAHSA) as a pass-through funder. Previous data presented focused on HMIS enrollments, which does
not capture repeated service engagements between an individual and an Access Center nor the number
or type of essential services provided.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council instruct the Chief Legislative Analyst, in coordination with Los
Angeles Housing Department, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, the City Administrative
Officer, the Downtown Women's Center, HOPICS, and Council District staff, to report within 30 days on
all eight City of Los Angeles Access Center activity and engagement. The report should include data
using a combination of both HMIS and databases/resources outside of HMIS, understanding that not all
services provided will be captured within the HMIS System. The report should include, but is not limited
to, the following information:

 • Qualitative Data on services provided or co-located at the Access Centers that are funded by the
 City of Los Angeles (Operation Safe Streets, etc.) or a public funding source
 • Number of Access Centers that have closed and/or are at risk of closure
 • Number of unduplicated people served (instead of HMIS enrollments)
 • Number of unduplicated people receiving mail services through Access Center
 • Number of meals, showers, medical services, referrals to housing, and total services provided by
 each Access Center, as well as total services including duplicated use of services provided by
 each access center
 • Number of Staff funded through Access Center contract, as well as staff employed through
 leveraged funding
 • Ac ess Center contract funding received from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority
 �
 • Estimated Cost to Run Access Center, inclusive of all services (Access Center contract plus
 leveraged funding including in-kind donations)
 • Unduplicated People Served by Access Centers (not HMIS Enrollments) as % of 2025 CoC
 Homeless Count (Total Sheltered and Unsheltered Individuals)
