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.


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 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.


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.


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
Wednesday - April 9, 2025 - PAGE 2
approval on second consideration vary and depend upon the type of ordinance, but a typical ordinance requires eight (8)
affirmative votes upon second consideration.

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.

 Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the recommendations
 contained in the March 4, 2025 CAO report, attached to the Council File,
 include transfers, appropriations, and authority for expenditures totaling
 $21.74 million. This consists of $8.89 million from various special funds,
 $7.98 million in MICLA funds, $4.64 million in CTIEP funds, and $0.23
 million from the General Fund. All transfers and appropriations are based
 on existing funds, reimbursements, or revenues. There is no additional
 General Fund impact for operations and maintenance costs as a result of
 these recommendations.

 Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the recommendations
 contained in the March 4, 2025 CAO report, attached to the Council File,
 comply with the City’s Financial Policies in that appropriations for funds
 are limited to available cash balances needed to fund ongoing
 maintenance, programming, project shortfalls, and critical operational
 needs in the current budget year.

 Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of MICLA debt
 is a General Fund obligation. The proposed MICLA funds for the capital
 projects indicated in the March 4, 2025 CAO report, attached to the
 Council File, (Items A, E, L, N, O, U, X, AA, CC, II, JJ, MM, and QQ) would
 cause the City to borrow $14,712,568 at an approximate 5.5 percent
Wednesday interest rate over- a

 Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of MICLA debt
 is a General Fund obligation. The proposed MICLA funds for the capital
 projects indicated in the March 4, 2025 CAO report, attached to the
 Council File, (Items A, E, L, N, O, U, X, AA, CC, II, JJ, MM, and QQ) would
 cause the City to borrow $14,712,568 at an approximate 5.5 percent
 interest rate over a period of 20 years. The total estimated debt service
 for the MICLA­financed projects is $24,622,763, including interest of
 approximately $9,910,195. The estimated average annual debt service is
 $1,231,143 over a period of 20 years. The proposed MICLA funds for the
 installation of fire equipment onto fire vehicles (Item KK) would cause the
 City to borrow $200,000 at an approximate five­and­a­half percent interest
 rate over a period of 10 years. The total estimated debt service for the
 MICLA­financed equipment project is $265,336, including interest of
 approximately $65,336. The estimated average annual debt service is
 $26,534 over a period of 10 years. Actual interest rates may differ as
 rates are dependent on market conditions at the time of issuance. The
 CAO cannot fully predict what interest rates will be in the future. In
 accordance with the City's Debt Management Policy, the City has an
 established debt ceiling to guide the evaluation of the affordability for
 future debt. The debt ceiling for non­voted direct debt as a percentage of
 General Fund revenues is six percent. The 2024­25 non­voter­approved
 debt service ratio is 2.63 percent. The issuance of MICLA debt for these
 projects will not cause the City to exceed the six percent non­voter­
 approved debt limit.

 cause the City to borrow $14,712,568 at an approximate 5.5 percent
 interest rate over a period of 20 years. The total estimated debt service
 for the MICLA-financed projects is $24,622,763, including interest of
 approximately $9,910,195. The estimated average annual debt service is
 $1,231,143 over a period of 20 years. The proposed MICLA funds for the
 installation of fire equipment onto fire vehicles (Item KK) would cause the
 City to borrow $200,000 at an approximate five-and-a-half percent interest
 rate over a period of 10 years. The total estimated debt service for the
 MICLA-financed equipment project is $265,336, including interest of
 approximately $65,336. The estimated average annual debt service is
 $26,534 over a period of 10 years. Actual interest rates may differ as
 rates are dependent on market conditions at the time of issuance. The
 CAO cannot fully predict what interest rates will be in the future. In
 accordance with the City's Debt Management Policy, the City has an
 established debt ceiling to guide the evaluation of the affordability for
 future debt. The debt ceiling for non-voted direct debt as a percentage of
 General Fund revenues is six percent. The 2024-25 non-voter-approved
 debt service ratio is 2.63 percent. The issuance of MICLA debt for these
 projects will not cause the City to exceed the six percent non-voter­
 approved debt limit.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND JOBS COMMITTEE REPORT​relative to options for beginning

(Project) in 2025; and related matters.

Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR:

 1.​ NOTE and FILE the Department of Convention and Tourism Development (CTD) report dated

 4.​ INSTRUCT the Los Angeles Fire Department, Bureau of Engineering (BOE), Bureau of Contract

 a vetting of the phased delivery option.

 5.​ INSTRUCT the CAO, with assistance of CLA, BOE, the CTD, and other departments as
 necessary, to re-engage in negotiations with AEG Plenary Conventions Los Angeles, LLC
 (APCLA) under the framework of the Phased Delivery Option in which construction of the LACC
 Expansion and Modernization Project would commence in 2025 with certain scope deliverables
 and milestones achieved before the 2028 Games and the balance of the scope completed after
 the 2028 games; the CAO shall bring in an Owner’s Representative to assist the City in these
 negotiations, with regular reports to the Council President and Chair of the Economic
 Development and Jobs Committee, and to assist in the development of a finalized Project
 Agreement (PA) that will include a value engineered project that examines the estimated
 construction costs, a path to secure sign revenue and air rights, potential additional operating
 revenues, an itemized list of technical requirements that could be modified to reduce project
 costs, and reduced operating costs.​

 6.​ INSTRUCT the CAO and CLA, BOE, with assistance of other departments as appropriate, to
 negotiate and execute an amendment to the EWA with APCLA (C-146596) to increase the
 capped amount by $19,986,296 from the existing not to exceed amount of $36,863,722 to a
 cumulative not to exceed amount of $56,850,018 for additional pre-development work necessary
 for the expansion and modernization of the LACC, including signage feasibility and design,

 Commercial Paper Program (LACC):​

 No.​ Class Code​ Class Title
 1​ 9478-0​​ Principal Civil Engineer
 1​ 7957-B​ Structural Engineer Associate/ PM I​

 9.​ AUTHORIZE the CAO to make technical corrections as necessary to those transactions included
 in this report to implement Mayor and Council intentions.

Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO and CLA report that the costs resulting from the recommendations
proposed in the report will need to be addressed in 2025-26. There is no General Fund impact in
2024-25. Costs associated with amendment of the EWA and amendment and extension of the City’s
consultant agreements will be paid from the MICLA Commercial Paper Program (LACC). The General
Fund impact in 2025-26 is anticipated to be included within the Capital Finance Administration Fund,
LACC Commercial Paper Account, for costs associated with administering this commercial paper
program, including interest costs. The future repayment of these costs will be financed through MICLA
and will require annual appropriations from the General Fund or some other funding source to repay the
debt service. The first year of General Fund impact as a result of debt service is anticipated to be in
2028-29.

Should the Council advance a pre-2028 Games Project, a total of $27.75 million is necessary to continue
preconstruction activities, including a $20 million increase to the EWA with APCLA and $7.75 million in
additional City consultant costs.

Should the Council authorize a Project, full City costs and the General Fund impact will depend on
delivery option selected and the timing and sizing of the debt issued to finance the Project. A subsequent
report on the debt issuance for the Project will be prepared and released at a later date concurrent with
the submission of a final PA to Council and the Mayor. Based on current assumptions, the indicative
average annual General Fund Impact for the Project is $45 million.

Financial Policies Statement: The CAO and CLA report that that recommendations in the report are
consistent with the City’s Financial Policies as they will not result in appropriation changes during the
current fiscal year. Furthermore, since the recommendations support initiating a multi-year project,
consideration has been given to adding new items to the budget with future year expenditure
requirements, within the context of the City’s ability to continue to pay these future year expenses.

Debt Impact Statement: The CAO and CLA report that the issuance of MICLA debt is a General Fund
obligation. The issuance of MICLA for the EWA related to the Project would cause the City to borrow an
additional amount of up to $22.75 million at an approximate 4.23 percent interest rate over 30 years. The
total estimated debt service related to the recommendations in this report is $49.5 million including
interest of approximately $21.7 million. During the life of the bonds, the estimated annual debt service is
$1.6 million for 30 years. Actual interest rates may differ as rates are dependent on market conditions at
the time of issuance. We cannot fully predict what interest rates will be in the future. In accordance with
the City's Debt Management Policy, the City has an established debt ceiling to guide in evaluating the
affordability for future debt. The debt ceiling for non-voted direct debt as a percentage of General Fund
revenues is six percent. Issuing debt for this project will impact this debt ratio. The 2024-25 Adopted
Budget non voter-approved debt ratio is 2.63 percent. The issuance of debt for these purposes will likely
not cause the City to exceed the six percent non-voter approved debt limit.

Per the proposal, the total Project construction cost is contemplated to be up to $2.24 billion. However,
the final sizing of the debt issuance to cover this cost will depend on the delivery option selected and the
construction schedule for the Project. A subsequent report on the debt issuance for the Project will be
prepared and released at a later date, and concurrent with the submission of a final PA.

 The Los Angeles Philharmonic (LA Phil) is an American orchestra based i~g~~~~o12f~!¥e'Jlq_tJS
 addition to performing shows at the Walt Disney Concert Hall and Hollywood Bowl, this organization
 provides resources to enable and support those interested in pursuing music. LA Phil works with
 community partners to provide free instruments, intensive music instruction, academic support, and
 leadership training in various communities of Los Angeles.

 While performing at the Hollywood Bowl, LA Phill will need a location to shuttle visitors to and from the
 show. The City-owned parking lot located at the Sylmar/San Fernando Metrolink station would be
 adequate space for LA Phil to use for their free shuttle services. In accordance with Los Angeles City
 Charter Section 371(e)(10) and Administrative Code Section 10.15(a)(10), the use of competitive bidding
 would be undesirable and impractical for this contract.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the Department of General Services, with the
 assistance of the City Attorney and City Administrative Office, to negotiate a new non-profit lease with
 the Los Angeles Philharmonic (LA Phil) for the use of the City-owned parking lot located at the
 Sylmar/San Fernando Metrolink station as part of LA Phil's free sJmttle service to help residents of the
 San Fernando Valley access the Hollywood Bowl as a cultural destination.

 I FURTHER MOVE the the Council find, pursuant to Charter Section 371(e)(10) and Administrative
 Code Section 10.15(a)(10), that the use of competitive bidding would be undesirable and impractical for
 this contract, inasmuch as the LA Phil and its free shuttle service are unique and competitive bidding for
 this lease would be impractical.

The Palisades Fire either destroyed or displaced more than a dozen schools across the Pacific
Palisades community. Prior to the Palisades Fire, two of these schools - Marquez Charter
Elementary and Corpus Christi School - were served by crossing guards through the Department
of Transportation's school crossing guard program.


Since the fires, many of these schools have been relocated with both Marquez Elementary and
Palisades Charter Elementary relocating to Nora Sterry Elementary and Brentwood Elementary
Science Magnet, respectively.


While this relocation has been a much needed source of continuity and stability for the
displaced students, these schools have seen their student bodies effectively double overnight
and are experiencing commensurate traffic impacts. To address the traffic hazards inadvertently
created by these relocations, the guards previously assigned to the Palisades should be
assigned to provide coverage to these schools.


I THEREFORE MOVE that Council instruct the Department of Transportation to reassign the
same two crossing guards previously assigned to Marquez Charter Elementary School and
Corpus Christi School to Nora Sterry Elementary School and Brentwood Elementary Science
Magnet.

 MOTION

 In August 2013 an individual drove a vehicle onto Ocean Front Walk in Venice, killing
 one person and injuring 11. This vehicular attack highlighted the dangers posed by vehicles in this
 area, and necessitated the installation of a more robust security system on Ocean Front Walk to
 protect pedestrians from future vehicular attacks.

 In 2020, a contract (C-136817) was awarded to Perimeter Security Group, LLC. to consult,
 plan and install a physical security network consisting of electric bollards, which can be raised and
 lowered, and crash ramps. This contract covers the installation of the security measures as well as
 basic maintenance on a quarterly basis, and expires in 2028. Despite this contract covering basic
 maintenance, the bollards are frequently out of service, as the environment, in particular the salt
 and sand prevalent in the area, create problems for the electric bollards that are not covered by
 basic maintenance. In addition, the Bureau of Engineering (BOE) currently manages the contract,
 but the BOE may not be the most appropriate entity once the construction phase of the project is
 complete. Finally, the Police and Fire Departments must be made aware of the placement of
 bollards and crash ramps, in order to allow for them to plan for emergency ingress and egress into
 and out of Ocean Front Walk. ·

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council:

 1. INSTRUCT the Bureau of Engineering to transfer the administration of Contract
 No. C-136817 to the Board of Public Works upon completion of the installation
 phase of the Venice Beach Ocean Front Walk Crash Ramps and Bollards Project.

 2. INSTRUCT the Board of Public Works to negotiate an amendment to the Contract
 to cover the more significant maintenance needs for the bollards, including but not
 limited to electrical faults, corrosion and other issues not covered under the
 maintenance aspects of the existing contract.

 3. INSTRUCT the City Administrative Officer, with the assistance of the Board of
 Public Works, identify a source of funds for the contract amendment as needed.

 I FURTHER MOVE that Police Department, Fire Department and Board of Public Works
 coordinate the dissemination of information on ingress and egress points to Ocean Front Walk to
 emergency personnel assigned to the area, in order to ensure that response times are not impacted
 by the bollards and crash ramps.

 MOTION

 The City of Los Angeles is committed to maintaining the integrity of its sewer system and preventing
 sewer blockages and overflows, which can lead to significant environmental and public health hazards.
 Since the late 1990s, the City has invested in major enhancements by developing programs to curtail the
 number of sewer service overflows by constructing new sewer connections and increasing the rate of
 cleaning sewers. A citywide survey of the causes of sewer blockages is attributed in part to the commercial
 food preparation industry such as restaurants, caterers, large kitchens, and hotels, and these are commonly
 refe1Ted to as Food Service Establishments (FSEs), of which there are about 10,000 FSEs in operation.

 The City, through the Department of Public Works, Bureau of Sanitation (BOS), operates a pretreatment
 process called the Fats, Oil, and Grease Control Program (FOG Program) to mitigate sewer blockages and
 environmental contamination caused by improper disposal of waste products. The FOG Program mandates
 that large FSEs are required to have an Industrial Waste Permit and all newly constructed FSEs must have
 a grease interceptor installed. Any legally permitted FSE, in operation continuously since August 2001
 and/or existing FSE undergoing a remodel under $100,000 are not subject to the grease interceptor
 requirement. This $100,000 threshold remodel for existing FSEs has not been adjusted since its inception
 in August, 2001, when the program was first initiated by the FOG Control Ordinance, under CF
 98-1657-Sl/Ordinance No. 174047.

 The change in economic conditions since 2001-such as inflation, increased construction costs, and the
 increased cost burden on FSEs such as labor and food costs-necessitates a review of its cu1Tent
 applicability. A comprehensive assessment of the FOG Program and the impact of the remodel monetary
 thresholds is crucial to ensure the threshold does not limit the reinvestment of these establishments and
 contribute to vacancies on commercial corridors.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the Bureau of Sanitation to report in 45 days on
 the status of the Fats, Oil and Grease Program, and the feasibility of adjusting the $100,000 monetary
 threshold related to the remodeling of FSEs to install grease interceptors, and other renovations which
 mitigates the inappropriate disposal of waste products into the sewer system from these locations.

 I FURTHER MOVE that the report includes ways the Bureau of Sanitation can enhance its media and
 educational outreach programs across all social media and communication platforms to re-engage the
 public and industry that their compliance and diligence keeps the waste disposal infrastructure in top shape
 to protect the entire community from overflows and hazards.

 RULESJ ELECTIONS,INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS
 RESOLUTION


 WHEREAS, any official position of the City of Los Angeles with respect to legislation, rules,
 regulations, or policies proposed to or pending before a local, state, or federal governmental
 body or agency must first have been adopted in the fonn of a Resolution by the City Council;
 and

 WHEREAS, the City of Los Angeles is made up of various unique communities spanning from
 the Valley to the Harbor area, each with its own name and identity, including Van Nuys, Sherman
 Oaks, Woodland Hills, Northridge, San Pedro, Hollywood, and Larchmont; and


 WHEREfi..S, the identities of these communities have become widely recognized and are clearly
 outlined in community plans, contributing to a strong sense of neighborhood throughout Los
 Angeles; and

 WHEREAS, a significant issue persists within the U.S. Postal Service's reluctance to
 acknowledge the City's communities in its zip code boundaries, as the U.S. Postal Service has its
 own boundaries, which differ from the City's established community borders, leading to
 confusion in regards to community identity,-mis-collection of sales taxes, homeowner and auto
 insurance rate differentials, confusion in response to emergency services (police, fire and
 ambulance), and delays in mail delivery; and

 WHEREAS, the Harbor . Gateway area is currently comprised of multiple zip codes (90059,
 90061, 9024 7, 90248, and 90501 ), which has led to situations of confusion such as those
 aforementioned; and

  WHEREAS, it would benefit the residents of the Harbor Gateway area to consolidate the area
  into one standard zip code for the entire community; and

 WHEREAS, federal legislation would help the City in addressing the long-standing problem of
 zip code-related boundary issues in the Harbor Gateway area, as well as any other community in
 Los Angeles experiencing a similar problem; and

  NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that by the adoption of this Resolution, the City of
  Los Angeles hereby includes in its 2025-2026 State Legislative Program SUPPORT for federal
  legislation that would direct the U.S. Postal Service to designate a single, unique zip code for the
  Harbor Gateway area, as well as explore other communities in Los Angeles that have similar
  needs, to be designated as an area with a single, unique zip code.

For over a century, MacArthur Park has played a critical role in the lives of Angelenos. A key gateway for
Mexican and Central American immigrants arriving in LA, for decades the neighborhood has served as an
informal "Ellis Island" of the west coast, welcoming recently arrived residents as they settle into a new
country.

The nearly 30-acre park serves over 41,000 residents living within a 1/2 mile, as well as the 22,000 riders
who pass through the Westlake/MacArthur Park Metro station and six major Metro bus lines daily. It is
also an incredibly overcrowded neighborhood at 11 times the national rate, and the highest percentage of
overcrowding in LA County. The park is surrounded by a number of influential institutions, such as the
Mexican Consulate, UCLA Labor Center, LA County Department of Public Social Services, Charles
White Elementary School, MacArthur Park Elementary School, and Fire Station 11 - one of the busiest
fire stations in the country.

While the population of the MacArthur Park neighborhood has significantly grown according to both
formal and informal counts, public investments in municipal services and the social, economic, and
infrastructure needs of the neighborhood did not keep pace. This has resulted in an area characterized by
deep poverty, uncleanliness, and crime. These challenges have be~n exacerbated in recent years by the
opioid epidemic that has ravaged the region, and especially MacArthur Park, where rampant drug sales
have fueled a public health crisis in which open air drug use, overdoses, and emergency response calls are
daily occurrences. The communities that have made MacArthur Park and the surrounding area the vibrant
hub of culture, food that exists today demand and deserve appropriate investment to meet their needs and
the needs of the people who pass through on a daily basis.

Since 2023, Council District 1 (CD 1) has aggressively pursued and secured millions of dollars to increase
resources for the park and nearby community. This includes at least $25,000,000 in grants and
collaborations with the County, State, and Federal governments, and partnerships with private foundations
to address both the urgent and long-term needs of the residents. CDI also invested discretionary funding
of over $1 million for dedicated clean teams six days a week and $950,000 for peace ambassadors seven
days a week. The office has partnered with the Mayor's office to upgrade street lighting and increase the
presence of Crisis and Incident Response through Community-led Engagement (CIRCLE) teams to assist
in addressing the needs of people experiencing homelessness and support brick and mortar businesses.

This surge in programs and resources have already made a difference - with documented decreases in
trash and violent crime, and information from trusted partners about lowered open-air drug use. Yet to end
decades of underinvestment and transform the park and surrounding area to a hub of recreation and
vibrant community activity where everyone can safely gather and utilize this critical public space, the
City must ensure that recent efforts to increase resources to and services at and near MacArthur Park are
maintained and strengthened in the years to come.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council INSTRUCT the City Administrative Officer, with support
from all relevant and necessary departments, to report back in 60 days with funding necessary to
maintain, and staffing plans associated with, the following services and programs for MacArthur Park and
½ mile around the park from May 2025 through June 2026:

 • Illegal dumping collection in alleys around the park;
 • Office of Community Beautification CleanLA Jobs;
 • Street sweeping operations and deployment;
 • CIRCLE staffing and deployment;
 • MacArthur Park Youth and Adult Programming;
 • Solarized Lighting - existing and planned;
 • Graffiti removal;
 • Park maintenance - including
 • Landscaping, trash removal, and special event support;
 • Public restroom maintenance and infrastructure;
 • Gang reduction operation and deployment; and,
 • Fire Station 11 staffing and deployment, including vehicle allocation and staffing of vehicles.

The report should use April 2025 staffing, programming, and operations as the baseline coverage for
services needed for maintenance of effort.

I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council INSTRUCT the City Administrative Officer, with support from
the necessary departments, to including in upcoming MICLA and CTIEP programming the following:
 • $69,500 for the Alvarado Corridor Treescape Project of 25 new trees with concrete well cuts; and,
 • $1.2 M in gap financing for the design, permits, and constructi n of the Exelo

  In 2022, Council District Seven piloted a program to help residents living in Recreational Vehicles (RVs) transition to
  more secure housing solutions. Over the ~ourse of 3 years, Council District Seven has placed over 200 people into
  housing and permanently removed over 100 RVs from the streets.

  Vehicle dwelling continues to impact communities throughout the Seventh District and the entire City. Once residents gain
  access to housing and the RVs have been removed from the streets, the City lacks tools to prevent repopulation.

  Without the right tools to assist, the City is forced to repeatedly expend limited resources to areas that have already been
  addressed. This results in the same issues resurfacing, causing the community to lose trust that local government is
  effectively and efficiently solving the challenges at hand.

  The City of Los Angeles once had an ordinance, Los Angeles Municipal Code 85.02, that regulated where individuals
  could park and dwell in a vehicle. However, at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the City Council allowed the
  ordinance to sunset. While this decision was understandable in 2020, when people were being urged to limit interactions
  and stay indoors for public health reasons, the circumstances have since changed.

  As we continue to make progress on unsheltered homelessness, with a IO percent decline in the 2024 Homeless Count and
  a projected decrease again in the 2025 Homeless Count, the City must look at ways to prevent repopulation in areas that
  City resources have been expended to hou·se individuals.

  One of the most effective tools that we've had in preventing the repopulation of areas where unsheltered residents were
  relocated indoors is Los Angeles Municipal Code 4 I.18 (LAMC 41.I 8). This ordinance helps regulate where individuals
  can sleep in the public right of way, contributing to efforts to maintain public safety and order in areas identified as
  sensitive-use sites.

  I THEREFORE MOVE that Council Request the City Attorney to prepare and present an ordinance that replaces the prior
  version of Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 85.02 with a prohibition on vehicle dwelling in roadways within buffer
  zones around sensitive sites where sitting, sleeping or lying is unlawful pursuant to Section 41.I8(c) and (e) of the Code.
