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.

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

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

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.

 MANAGEMENT COMMITTEES’ REPORT relative to establishing the

 City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element, along suitable transit-rich corridors.

 Recommendations for Council action, pursuant to Motion (Bonin –
 Raman – Harris-Dawson – de León - Krekorian):


 1. DIRECT the Department of City Planning (DCP), with assistance
 from the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, Los
 Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT), and other
 relevant City departments, to report to the Council within 180 days
 with strategies to establish the LCI along suitable transit-rich
 corridors, or analogous Citywide regulations, that facilitates mid-
 scale development, promotes the creation of housing units where
 they do not currently exist, and creates or enhances existing
 commercial, mixed-use character. As part of its report, the DCP
 should consider by-right or administrative development and
 zoning standards to encourage mid-scale development; including,
 but not limited to:




Wednesday - December 07, 2022 - Page 27
 a. Waivers or reductions of setback, unit floor area, and other
 development standards.


 b. An inclusionary housing requirement to increase access to
 affordable housing.


 c. A minimum density requirement to promote multifamily,
 mixed-use development.


 d. Provisions to encourage greater lot density such as
 allowing for microunits, shared housing, or increasing floor
 area ratio allowances.


 e. The elimination or reduction of parking minimums in "high
 quality transit areas" or "transit-rich areas".


 f. Exclusions and/or mitigations for lots located within a Very
 High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, an identified historic

 g. Exclusions for projects that may result in the demolition of
 buildings subject to the Rent Stabilization Ordinance or the
 loss of covenanted affordable units.


 2. DIRECT the DCP, as part of this report to the Council, to develop
 a community-driven outreach and engagement strategy that will
 assist in informing the necessary maps and reports required to
 identify suitable transit-rich corridors that would benefit from the
 LCI and complement existing rezoning efforts through the
 implementation of the Housing Element (2021-2029). This
 strategy should demonstrate adequate engagement and
 involvement with marginalized, historically underserved, and/or
 disadvantaged communities potentially impacted by the selection
 of suitable corridors.


 3. DIRECT the DCP, in coordination with the DCP’s Urban Design
 Studio, to report to the Council within 180 days on options for an
 administrative clearance procedure for projects eligible for the LCI

 4. DIRECT the DCP, LADOT, Department of Public Works, and the
 Economic Workforce Development Department (EWDD), with
 assistance from the City Administrative Officer (CAO) and other


Wednesday - December 07, 2022 - Page 28
 relevant City departments, to report to the Council within 180 days
 with options to establish a streamlined, administrative review
 process that ensures projects eligible for the LCI invest in public
 right-of-way amenities and infrastructure improvements in order to
 encourage transit ridership, pedestrian and cyclist safety, and
 placemaking.


 5. DIRECT the EWDD and the CAO, with the assistance of the DCP,
 Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA), and other relevant City
 departments, to report to the Council within 180 days on the
 feasibility of any new regulatory tools, fees, grants, and/or

 Reconciliation Committee in the Civil and Human Rights and Equity

 Angeles is a “Racism Free City” wherein each individual, adult,
 and child has the right to be free from discrimination based upon
 their race, ethnicity, or cultural affiliation. Additionally the City Shall
 recommit itself to encouraging:

 homes to declare themselves “Racism Free Zones,” within
 which it will be unacceptable to make statements, use
 symbols, or in any way condone racial stereotypes or
 prejudices.


 b. All individuals to take a personal pledge which recognizes
 that racism will cease only when each person understands
 their own right and responsibility to live in a city where all
 people are treated equally with dignity and respect.


 c. All ethnic groups to proudly celebrate and share the
 richness of their culture with others.


 d. All community groups, clubs and organizations to devote
 time to educate and sensitize themselves about the value
 of rejecting hatred and bigotry.


 e. All people actively encourage elected officials and other
 “high profile” public figures to promote understanding and
 harmony, and not engage in racially insensitive acts.


Wednesday - December 07, 2022 - Page 40
 2. REAFFIRM the June 24, 2020, declaration that racism is a public
 health crisis that affects our entire City.

 funding, staffing, and resources required to establish and manage
 a “Truth and Reconciliation Committee” that will regularly convene
 over the course of at least on year to engage in a “truth-telling”
 process that explores and documents racialized, ethnic, or
 political violence specific to a Los Angeles context to inform
 healing and reconciliation. The Committee also shall investigate,
 study, and offer strategies and solutions relative to advancing the
 intent of this motion and implementing collaborative governance
 models, participatory budgeting, governmental transparency and
 accessibility, and other strategies and solutions that overcome
 systemic oppression in the City of Los Angeles. Within 30 days
 after the end of the Committee’s term, CHRED shall prepare a
 staff report with recommendations for Council action. The
 Committee shall include representatives from the Los Angeles
 Mayor’s Office, Los Angeles City Council Districts, Local and State
 Elected Official Offices, Los Angeles United School District, Chief

 MOTION
 32A
 On December 6, 2022, Mayor Garcetti released a Notice of Termination of the Local
 Emergency, effective February 1, 2023. The Mayor's notice found that "the circumstances that
 existed in 2020 and 2021 ... have adjusted to a level currently manageable by the regularly
 constituted branches and departments of the City government."

 I therefore move that the Resolution for Item 32 regarding the March 4, 2020 Declaration of
 Local Emergency by the Mayor concerning COVID-19 be amended to modify the first provision
 to read as follows:

 a. Resolve that a local emergency continues to persist within the City of Los Angeles,
 within the meaning of Los Angeles Administrative Code Section 8.21, et seq., and the
 continuance of the Mayor's March 4, 2020, Declaration of Local Emergency through 30
 days from the adoption of this Resolution, but not beyond January 31, 2023, is therefore
 necessary; and that the state oflocal emergency shall terminate on February 1, 2023.

 I further move that the City Council instruct the City Clerk to place the amended Resolution on
 future agendas, as appropriate, to permit the City Council's timely consideration and
 continuation of the state oflocal emergency through January 31, 2023, and that the Clerk cease
 to agendize this matter thereafter. ,_,

 The Inauguration of Mayor-elect Karen Bass, as well as of the other newly elected City
  officials, will be held on December 11, 2022. This event expects to draw residents from across
  all of Los Angeles and would therefore qualify as a Citywide Special Event.

 The Special Events Ordinance provides that the City Council may add or remove events
  from the List of Citywide Special events by motion. Council District 8 is requesting the addition
  of the 2022 Inauguration Ceremony to the list of Citywide Special Events.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the 2022 Inauguration Ceremonies of Mayor-elect Karen Bass,
  incoming City Council Members and the City Attorney be included in the City wide List of Special
  Events, as provided under the Special Events Ordinance (No.80881) to the list of Citywide Special
  Events, with any required subsidies to be covered from the Mayor's portion of the 'Heritage
  Month Celebration and Special Events' line item in the General City Purposes portion of the
  Budget.
