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.




Wednesday - May 6, 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.

 TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT relative to self-enforcing
 infrastructure and Mobility Plan 2035 for the Traffic Enforcement
 Alternatives Project.


 A. AD HOC COMMITTEE ON UNARMED CRISIS PREVENTION,
 INTERVENTION, AND COMMUNITY SERVICES

 Recommendations for Council action:

 1. REQUEST the Board of Police Commissioners (BOPC) to
 amend Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD)
 Department Manual Section 1/240.06, entitled Policy –
 Limitation on Use of Pretextual Stops, to replace the
 existing limitation policy with strengthened guidance and
 additional prohibitions to ensure fair treatment and
 efficient deployment of resources. The updated policy
 should include the following:

 a. Prohibit all pretextual stops and detentions that
 result from pretextual stops of motorists and cyclists,
 except in cases where the violation poses a
 significant and imminent safety risk.




Wednesday - May 6, 2026 - PAGE 8
 b. Prohibit consent-based searches of persons,
 vehicles, or personal effects during pretextual traffic
 stops. This prohibition does not apply to searches
 supported by a valid warrant, probable cause, or
 other lawful justifications independent of consent.


 c. Ensure compliance with California Assembly Bill
 (AB) 2773 by requiring officers to clearly articulate
 the reason for the stop on Body-Worn Video (BWV)
 before commencing any questioning. Officers should
 thoroughly record, both visibly and audibly, any
 reasonable suspicion that develops after the initial
 stop.


 d. Ensure proper compliance and the implementation
 of AB 2147 (2022) to prevent racial bias in stops of
 pedestrians.


 e. Report back, with the assistance of the City Attorney,
 on the process and the necessary steps to
 implement a mail-based notification system that
 would allow certain traffic violations, allowing vehicle
 owners to receive violations by mail in lieu of an
 officer-initiated stop. Under this framework, the
 vehicle owner would still be responsible for
 correcting or otherwise remedying the violation. The
 report should outline any moving, equipment, and
 non-moving violations eligible for mail-in
 enforcement.


 f. Affirm LAPD’s authority to conduct stops for traffic
 violations that endanger public safety and for
 reasonable and articulable suspicion of crimes.


 2. REQUEST the Office of Inspector General to monitor
 LAPD Traffic Stop Data, incorporating findings from the
 Audit Division’s quarterly AB 2773 compliance audits and
 the Stops Review Pilot Program, and provide semi-annual
 reports to the Council on the effectuation of this policy,




Wednesday - May 6, 2026 - PAGE 9
 including analyzing the feasibility of updating LAPD’s
 public traffic dashboard to distinctly track and display
 pretextual stop data.


 3. NOTE and FILE reports from the Chief Legislative Analyst
 (CLA), BOPC, and Los Angeles Department of
 Transportation (LADOT) attached to this Council File.


 B. TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE

 (6) 05-0173-S2
 CDs 4, 13 COMMUNICATION FROM THE CHAIR, PERSONNEL AND HIRING
 COMMITTEE relative to proposed Resolution Authorities in connection
 with the Glendale-Hyperion Bridge Improvement Project.

 Recommendation for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL
 OF THE MAYOR:
 APPROVE the following five full-time Resolution Authority positions
 for the period January 1, 2026, through June 30, 2026, subject to
 allocation by the Personnel Department and pay grade determination
 by the City Administrative Officer, to provide construction
 management services on the Glendale-Hyperion Bridge Improvement
 Project as detailed in the April 3, 2026 Street Transportation Projects
 Oversight Committee (STPOC) report, attached to the Council File:


 a. One Senior Civil Engineer (Class Code 9485)


 b. Two Civil Engineers (Class Code 7237)


 c. One Senior Management Analyst I (Class Code 9171-1)


 d. One Civil Engineering Associate III (Class Code 7246-3)



 Fiscal Impact Statement: The STPOC reports that there is no impact
 on the General Fund. Funding the five positions for four months will
 cost $340,852 ($205,345 in direct costs and $135,507 in indirect
 costs). The 2025-26 Adopted Budget allocated $30 million from the
 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation (SB1) Fund to the Capital
 Technology Improvement Expenditure Program (CTIEP) for salaries
 and construction costs. This allocation provides the local match and
 front-funding for both the Federal Highway Bridge Program Grant and
 the State Proposition 1B Local Bridge Seismic Retrofit Program
 Grant. The Federal grant will reimburse up to 88.53% ($119,964) of




Wednesday - May 6, 2026 - PAGE 12
 the indirect costs, and the City will absorb the remaining $15,543 as
 SB1 does not pay for indirect costs.

 Community Impact Statement: None submitted


 (7) 26-0447

 Fund. The Harbor Department is responsible for funding the
 provisions of this proposed amendment.

 COMMUNICATION FROM THE CHAIR, PERSONNEL AND HIRING

 2030.


 2. AUTHORIZE the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power
 (LADWP) to correct any clerical errors or make necessary
 technical corrections subsequent to City Council approval.

 2.5 percent (2.5%) and ceiling of 5.5percent (5.5%), which are based
 on Consumer Price Index (CPI), salary adjustments, and other
 identified miscellaneous new MOU provisions.
 The City Administrative Officer reports that the proposed agreements
 with MOU 44 will not impact the City’s General Fund. All costs
 associated with MOU 44 will be borne solely by the LADWP. The
 LADWP estimates that the fiscal impact of MOU 44 will be $1.1 million
 over the term of the contract.

 AD HOC COMMITTEE ON UNARMED CRISIS PREVENTION,
 INTERVENTION, AND COMMUNITY SERVICES REPORT and
 TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT relative to self-enforcing
 infrastructure and Mobility Plan 2035 for the Traffic Enforcement
 Alternatives Project.


 A. AD HOC COMMITTEE ON UNARMED CRISIS PREVENTION,
 INTERVENTION, AND COMMUNITY SERVICES

 Recommendations for Council action:

 1. REQUEST the Board of Police Commissioners (BOPC) to
 amend Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD)
 Department Manual Section 1/240.06, entitled Policy –
 Limitation on Use of Pretextual Stops, to replace the
 existing limitation policy with strengthened guidance and
 additional prohibitions to ensure fair treatment and
 efficient deployment of resources. The updated policy
 should include the following:

 a. Prohibit all pretextual stops and detentions that
 result from pretextual stops of motorists and cyclists,
 except in cases where the violation poses a
 significant and imminent safety risk.


 b. Prohibit consent-based searches of persons,
 vehicles, or personal effects during pretextual traffic
 stops. This prohibition does not apply to searches
 supported by a valid warrant, probable cause, or
 other lawful justifications independent of consent.


 c. Ensure compliance with California Assembly Bill
 (AB) 2773 by requiring officers to clearly articulate
 the reason for the stop on Body-Worn Video (BWV)
 before commencing any questioning. Officers should
 thoroughly record, both visibly and audibly, any
 reasonable suspicion that develops after the initial
 stop.




Wednesday - May 6, 2026 - PAGE 5
 d. Ensure proper compliance and the implementation
 of AB 2147 (2022) to prevent racial bias in stops of
 pedestrians.


 e. Report back, with the assistance of the City Attorney,
 on the process and the necessary steps to
 implement a mail-based notification system that
 would allow certain traffic violations, allowing vehicle
 owners to receive violations by mail in lieu of an
 officer-initiated stop. Under this framework, the
 vehicle owner would still be responsible for
 correcting or otherwise remedying the violation. The
 report should outline any moving, equipment, and
 non-moving violations eligible for mail-in
 enforcement.


 f. Affirm LAPD’s authority to conduct stops for traffic
 violations that endanger public safety and for
 reasonable and articulable suspicion of crimes.


 2. REQUEST the Office of Inspector General to monitor
 LAPD Traffic Stop Data, incorporating findings from the
 Audit Division’s quarterly AB 2773 compliance audits and
 the Stops Review Pilot Program, and provide semi-annual
 reports to the Council on the effectuation of this policy,
 including analyzing the feasibility of updating LAPD’s
 public traffic dashboard to distinctly track and display
 pretextual stop data.

 (CLA), BOPC, and Los Angeles Department of
 Transportation (LADOT) attached to this Council File.

 APPROVE the following five full-time Resolution Authority positions
 for the period January 1, 2026, through June 30, 2026, subject to
 allocation by the Personnel Department and pay grade determination
 by the City Administrative Officer, to provide construction
 management services on the Glendale-Hyperion Bridge Improvement

 tax-exempt interest earnings ($228,049 as of June 30, 2025) available to Council District (CD) 7 from the Pacoima/Panorama
 City Redevelopment Project Area (Project Area) for Project;

 3. AUTHORIZE the Controller, subjectto the requirements below and availability of funds and duly executed and encumbered
 Contract(s), to expend up to the amount of Interest from the EBP Fund No. 57D, Account No 22S9MT Pacoima/Panorama
 City Taxable Series 2003-A and 2006-B, and up to $6,985 plus Interest from the EBP Fund No. 57D, Account Nos. 22L9MN
 and 22S9MN Pacoima/Panorama City Tax-Exempt Series 2006-C and 2009-D, for activities related to Project upon
 presentation of proper documentation and satisfactory review by EWDD in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
 Bond Expenditure Agreement (BEA);

 4. AUTHORIZE the Economic and Workforce Development Department (EWDD) to implement activities related to the Project
 and to perform limited preliminary planning as may be necessary to conduct the environmental review for Project;

 Motion
 California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) Family Justice Center Program
 established the Family Justice Center 2025 Grant to provide supplemental funding for multidisciplinary
 services supporting victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, elder abuse and human trafficking. The
 Mayor's Office of Public Safety has applied for $312,500 in grant funding, which includes $206,000 to
 sustain specialized legal services for victims of interpersonal violence provided by the nonprofit Peace
 Over Violence. No matching funds are required. Before they can process the award, Cal OES requires a
 formal governing body resolution. A further delay in funding risks disrupting the life-saving services
 Peace Over Violence provides.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the Mayor's Office of Public Safety be authorized to apply for the Family

 PUBLIC SAFETY
 MOTION

 Frequent rubbish and vegetation fires within the California Department of
  Transportation's (Caltrans) right-of-way have become a sustained and serious issue in the City of
  Los Angeles, with recurring incidents occurring in restricted, confined infrastructure and
  freeway-adjacent areas that are not intended for public access. These events present an
  immediate risk to public safety, critical infrastructure, and surrounding communities, while
  placing a growing fiscal burden on the City of Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Fire Department is
  repeatedly required to respond to fires within State-controlled right-of-way areas, diverting
  limited emergency resources, driving overtime costs, and further straining already impacted
  public safety services. •

 The latest incident, a fire within an access portal directly under the Interstate 110 in the
  Wilmington and San Pedro area, prompted a complete freeway closure and brought a range of
  concerns into sharp focus , from potential structural compromise to traffic management
  challenges, as well as the coordination and delivery of timely public safety notifications. This
  event highlights the urgency of the issue and the City's growing exposure to financial ·liability
  and service disruptions resulting from Caltrans' failure to adequately secure, monitor, and
  maintain its assets.

 As reflected in Council File 26-0674, the City has acted diligently to coordinate across
 agencies and respond to emerging safety risks, even where jurisdiction lies with Caltrans and
 other entities. However, the frequency of these incidents and the mounting cost to City resources
  ·necessitate a focused evaluation of cost recovery options and a clearer accounting of the scale of
 emergency responses occurring within Caltrans' right-of-way.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council direct the City Administrative Officer
  (CAO) and the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), and any other relevant departments, in
  coordination with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the California
  Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), to report with an analysis on the total
  number and frequency of LAFD responses to rubbish and vegetation fires over the past three
  years and the current Fiscal Year 2025-2026, and the number and percentage of those fires that
  occur within the Caltrans right-of-way.

 I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council direct the CAO and the Chief Legislative
  Analyst (CLA), in coordination with the Office of the City Attorney and LAFD, to report on :
 • The estimated costs associated for the City with these Caltrans right-of-way responses,
 including personnel costs for the last three years and the cunent Fiscal Year 2025-2026;
 • The feasibility, legal authority, and process required for the City to seek reimbursement or
 cost recovery from CAL FIRE, Caltrans, or other responsible State entity; and



Mt ;2026
 • Any existing agreements, policies, or precedents related to interagency cost-sharing or
 reimbursement for fire response services in State-controlled infrastmchire areas, and
 whether these frameworks can be revisited or renegotiated to achieve cost savings.

 I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council request that Caltrans report on whether it
maintains or participates in encampment resolution programs within its right-of-way, including
coordination with local jurisdictions. This report should detail cmTent policies, protocols, and
resources dedicated to services, shelter, housing, and the success or failure of such efforts.

 SECONDED BY:
 MOTION

The 2025 Annual Homeless Count reported 7,174 family members experiencing homelessness in the City
of Los Angeles, of which, 4,027 of those are minors. The A Bridge Home (ABH) site located at 3061
Riverside Drive in Council District 4 provides 26 units to families, and previously counted towards the
City's Roadmap Agreement. The ABH site opened on April 16, 2021, and is operated by People
Assisting the Homeless (PATH). While the goal is to find permanent housing for all homeless residents,
ABH sites are designed to be "no-barrier" shelters that provide a wide range of critical services that
address the immediate needs of families experiencing homelessness, including case management, housing
navigation, mental health services, and life skills. The City currently holds a lease agreement with L&R
Construction, Inc. for the site, which expired on April 14, 2026, and is currently in holdover.

Therefore, I MOVE that the City Council:

 1. Determine the funding allocation, lease, and continued use for a period of up to three years for the
 Bridge Housing (ABH)/Low Barrier Navigation Center at 3061 W. Riverside Drive for those
