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 - January 29, 2025 - PAGE 3
approval on second consideration vary and depend upon the type of ordinance, but a typical ordinance requires eight (8)
affirmative votes upon second consideration.

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.

 CONTINUED CONSIDERATION OF TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE
 REPORT and AMENDING MOTION 22A (HERNANDEZ –
 PADILLA) relative to a Citywide equity framework for transportation project
 prioritization and resource allocation.

 A. TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT

 Recommendations for Council action:

 1. INSTRUCT the Board of Public Works’ Bureaus to report to
 Council on the equity framework currently used for selection
 and implementation of services and their plan to incorporate
 the Department of City Planning (DCP) Community Health and
 Equity (CHE) Index into project prioritization and resource
 allocation.


 2. DIRECT each of the Bureaus of the Department of Public
 Works, the DCP, and any other relevant agencies, to report on
 the programs they manage that achieve transportation
 outcomes, how those programs currently incorporate equity
 into their work plans, and how the CHE Index can be adopted
 into those programs, if they are not already, so that the City of
 Los Angeles is using one definition of areal equity
 measurement for achieving transportation goals.


 3. DIRECT the Los Angeles Department of Transportation
 (LADOT) to report to Council with an overview of additional
 criteria if uses to prioritize projects to achieve specific
 programmatic goals and understand travel patterns for
 communities of concern, including but not limited to how the
 (LADOT) incorporates transit ridership, boardings and
 alightings by line; crash data; prevailing speeds; density of

 3. DIRECT the Los Angeles Department of Transportation
 (LADOT) to report to Council with an overview of additional
 criteria if uses to prioritize projects to achieve specific
 programmatic goals and understand travel patterns for
 communities of concern, including but not limited to how the
 (LADOT) incorporates transit ridership, boardings and
 alightings by line; crash data; prevailing speeds; density of
 jobs and proximity to job centers on specific corridors; and
 regional transportation gaps into its program and project
 planning. The report should include any data sets that would
 further allow the LADOT to consider and address the travel
 patterns of communities of concern in Los Angeles, as well as
 help close transportation gaps to regionally­important
 destinations and along regionally­important corridors. The
 report should propose how the LADOT could combine these
 data into an overlay that could be paired with the CHE Index
 and Priority Transportation Equity Areas to add holistic
 regional travel patterns as a consistent metric across work
 programs, and any resources needed to create that overlay
 and maintain it moving forward.


 B. AMENDING MOTION 22A (HERNANDEZ – PADILLA)

 Recommendation for Council action:

 AMEND the matter related to the Transportation Committee report
 relative to a Citywide equity framework for transportation project

 CONTINUED CONSIDERATION OF TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE
 REPORT and AMENDING MOTION  22A (HERNANDEZ
 – PADILLA) relative to a Citywide equity framework for transportation
 project prioritization and resource allocation.

 A. TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT




 Recommendations for Council action:




 1. INSTRUCT the Board of Public Works’ Bureaus to report
 to Council on the equity framework currently used for
 selection and implementation of services and their plan to
 incorporate the Department of City Planning (DCP)
 Community Health and Equity (CHE) Index into project
 prioritization and resource allocation.


 2. DIRECT each of the Bureaus of the Department of Public
 Works, the DCP, and any other relevant agencies, to report
 on the programs they manage that achieve transportation
 outcomes, how those programs currently incorporate
 equity into their work plans, and how the CHE Index can be
 adopted into those programs, if they are not already, so that
 the City of Los Angeles is using one definition of areal
 equity measurement for achieving transportation goals.


 3. DIRECT the Los Angeles Department of Transportation
 (LADOT) to report to Council with an overview of additional
 criteria if uses to prioritize projects to achieve specific
 programmatic goals and understand travel patterns for
 communities of concern, including but not limited to how
 the (LADOT) incorporates transit ridership, boardings and
 alightings by line; crash data; prevailing speeds; density of
 jobs and proximity to job centers on specific corridors; and
 regional transportation gaps into its program and project
 planning. The report should include any data sets that
 would further allow the LADOT to consider and address the
 travel patterns of communities of concern in Los Angeles,
 as well as help close transportation gaps to regionally-

Wednesday - January 29, 2025 - Page 4
 important destinations and along regionally-important
 corridors. The report should propose how the LADOT could
 combine these data into an overlay that could be paired
 with the CHE Index and Priority Transportation Equity
 Areas to add holistic regional travel patterns as a consistent
 metric across work programs, and any resources needed
 to create that overlay and maintain it moving forward.


 B. AMENDING MOTION 22A (HERNANDEZ – PADILLA)
