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.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 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.

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




 Tuesday - January 18, 2022 - PAGE 3
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.

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.

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.

Items for which Public Hearings Have Been Held

(12) 22-0021
 CD 7 BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT and RESOLUTION
 relative to the Community Facilities District No. 8 (Legends at Cascades)
 Special Tax Refunding Bonds, Series 2022.

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

 1. PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying RESOLUTION which
 authorizes the issuance of the City of Los Angeles Community
 Facilities District No. 8 (Legends at Cascades) Special Tax Refunding
 Bonds, Series 2022, and approve the execution and delivery of
 various bond documents, including a First Supplemental Indenture,
 Escrow Agreement, and other matters related thereto.

 2. AUTHORIZE the City Administrative Officer (CAO) to make technical
 changes and adjustments as necessary to those transactions in this
 report and to implement the intent of the Mayor and the City Council.


 Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that there is no impact on the
 General Fund as a result of the recommendations contained in this report.
 The bonds are payable solely from Mello-Roos Special Tax Revenues
 collected from parcels within the District. All costs associated with this
 transaction will be paid by bond proceeds or existing special tax revenues,
 and in no event shall the General Fund be called upon for repayment of
 any principal or interest on these bonds.

 Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that consistent with the
 City’s Financial Policies, all consultant and City costs associated with the
 issuance of bonds are paid by the District through the levy and collection
 of special taxes for this purpose. Additionally, consistent with the City’s




 Tuesday - January 18, 2022 - PAGE 13
 Mello-Roos and Assessment Financing Policies, the District and Mello-
 Roos Bonds exceed the City’s value-to-lien requirement, will not exceed
 the City’s maximum tax burden threshold of two percent of assessed value
 on property annually, comply with the minimum debt service coverage
 ratio, provide funding for a reserve fund, and the bonds will amortize in no
 more than 25 years.

 Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that there is no debt impact to
 the City’s General Fund from the approval of the recommendations in this
 report. The average annual debt service for the bonds is $365,000, over 18
 years, until September 1, 2040. The total estimated deby service, including
 principal and interest, over the life of the bonds is $6.786 million. The
 estimated present value savings from the refunding is $1.8 million. The
 bonds are payable solely from Mello-Roos Special Tax Revenues collected
 from parcels within the District. A default in the repayment of Mello-Roos
 bonds would not adversely affect the City’s general credit rating because
 Mello-Roos bonds are not payable from the General Fund.

 Community Impact Statement: None submitted




(13) 21-1028-S1
 BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the 2021-22
 Second Construction Projects Report (CPR).

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

 1. APPROVE the recommendations of the City Administrative Officer
 (CAO) as detailed in the Second CPR for Fiscal Year 2021-22, dated
 November 22, 2021, attached to the Council file, as amended to
 incorporate the additions detailed below:

 2. AUTHORIZE the Controller to transfer $79,468.23 from MICLA Parcel
 Tax Bond Fund No. 492/10/10S942 to MICLA Parcel Tax Bond Fund
 No. 492/32/TBD, for the Los Angeles Fire Department Voice Radio
 System Upgrade project.

 3. AUTHORIZE the Controller to transfer and appropriate $273,714.25
 from the available cash balance within Fund No. 56Q/14, Village at
 Westfield Topanga Public Benefits Trust Fund to the
 Ventura/Cahuenga Specific Plan Trust Fund No. 523/94, Account No.




 Tuesday - January 18, 2022 - PAGE 14
 94TM14, Reimagine Ventura Boulevard to fund the remaining cost of
 the street improvement work.


 Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the transfers,
 appropriations, and expenditure authority totaling $11.66 million are
 recommended in this report. Of this amount, $4.81 million is for transfers,
 appropriations, and expenditure authority for the Bureau of Street
 Services, $2.59 million for the Department of General Services, and $4.26
 million is for other City funds. All transfers and appropriations are based
 on existing funds, reimbursements, or revenues. There is no immediate
 General Fund impact for operations and maintenance costs as a result of
 these recommendations (Attachment No. 4), attached to the CAO report
 in the Council file.

 Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the actions
 recommended in the report comply with the City’s Financial Policies.

 Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of Municipal
 Improvement Corporation of Los Angeles (MICLA) Bonds is a General
 Fund obligation. The acquisition of capital equipment for the Bureau of
 Street Lighting (BSL) Fleet Replacement and Electric Vehicle Charging
 Stations would cause the City to borrow $5,302,582 at an approximate 5.5
 percent interest rate over 10 years. The total estimated debt service for
 the acquisition of BSL capital equipment is $7,035,000, including interest
 of $1,732,000. During the life of the bonds, the estimated average annual
 debt service over 10 years is $703,500. 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 6.0 percent. The City is currently at 3.35 percent for 2021-22. The
 issuance of debt for these projects will not impact the City's debt capacity
 for non-voter approved debt as the issuance of debt for the projects is
 already included in the debt ratio.

 Community Impact Statement: None submitted

 CD 7 BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT and RESOLUTION
 relative to the Community Facilities District No. 8 (Legends at Cascades)
 Special Tax Refunding Bonds, Series 2022.

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

 1. PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying RESOLUTION which
 authorizes the issuance of the City of Los Angeles Community
 Facilities District No. 8 (Legends at Cascades) Special Tax Refunding




 Tuesday - January 18, 2022 - PAGE 9
 Bonds, Series 2022, and approve the execution and delivery of
 various bond documents, including a First Supplemental Indenture,
 Escrow Agreement, and other matters related thereto.

 2. AUTHORIZE the City Administrative Officer (CAO) to make technical
 changes and adjustments as necessary to those transactions in this
 report and to implement the intent of the Mayor and the City Council.


 Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that there is no impact on the
 General Fund as a result of the recommendations contained in this report.
 The bonds are payable solely from Mello-Roos Special Tax Revenues
 collected from parcels within the District. All costs associated with this
 transaction will be paid by bond proceeds or existing special tax revenues,
 and in no event shall the General Fund be called upon for repayment of
 any principal or interest on these bonds.

 Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that consistent with the
 City’s Financial Policies, all consultant and City costs associated with the
 issuance of bonds are paid by the District through the levy and collection
 of special taxes for this purpose. Additionally, consistent with the City’s
 Mello-Roos and Assessment Financing Policies, the District and Mello-
 Roos Bonds exceed the City’s value-to-lien requirement, will not exceed
 the City’s maximum tax burden threshold of two percent of assessed value
 on property annually, comply with the minimum debt service coverage
 ratio, provide funding for a reserve fund, and the bonds will amortize in no
 more than 25 years.

 Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that there is no debt impact to
 the City’s General Fund from the approval of the recommendations in this
 report. The average annual debt service for the bonds is $365,000, over 18
 years, until September 1, 2040. The total estimated deby service, including
 principal and interest, over the life of the bonds is $6.786 million. The
 estimated present value savings from the refunding is $1.8 million. The
 bonds are payable solely from Mello-Roos Special Tax Revenues collected
 from parcels within the District. A default in the repayment of Mello-Roos
 bonds would not adversely affect the City’s general credit rating because
 Mello-Roos bonds are not payable from the General Fund.

 BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the 2021-22
 Second Construction Projects Report (CPR).

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

 1. APPROVE the recommendations of the City Administrative Officer
 (CAO) as detailed in the Second CPR for Fiscal Year 2021-22, dated
 November 22, 2021, attached to the Council file, as amended to
 incorporate the additions detailed below:

 2. AUTHORIZE the Controller to transfer $79,468.23 from MICLA Parcel
 Tax Bond Fund No. 492/10/10S942 to MICLA Parcel Tax Bond Fund
 No. 492/32/TBD, for the Los Angeles Fire Department Voice Radio
 System Upgrade project.

 3. AUTHORIZE the Controller to transfer and appropriate $273,714.25
 from the available cash balance within Fund No. 56Q/14, Village at
 Westfield Topanga Public Benefits Trust Fund to the
 Ventura/Cahuenga Specific Plan Trust Fund No. 523/94, Account No.
 94TM14, Reimagine Ventura Boulevard to fund the remaining cost of
 the street improvement work.


 Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the transfers,
 appropriations, and expenditure authority totaling $11.66 million are
 recommended in this report. Of this amount, $4.81 million is for transfers,
 appropriations, and expenditure authority for the Bureau of Street
 Services, $2.59 million for the Department of General Services, and $4.26
 million is for other City funds. All transfers and appropriations are based
 on existing funds, reimbursements, or revenues. There is no immediate
 General Fund impact for operations and maintenance costs as a result of
 these recommendations (Attachment No. 4), attached to the CAO report
 in the Council file.

 Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the actions
 recommended in the report comply with the City’s Financial Policies.




 Tuesday - January 18, 2022 - PAGE 11
 Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of Municipal
 Improvement Corporation of Los Angeles (MICLA) Bonds is a General
 Fund obligation. The acquisition of capital equipment for the Bureau of
 Street Lighting (BSL) Fleet Replacement and Electric Vehicle Charging
 Stations would cause the City to borrow $5,302,582 at an approximate 5.5
 percent interest rate over 10 years. The total estimated debt service for
 the acquisition of BSL capital equipment is $7,035,000, including interest
 of $1,732,000. During the life of the bonds, the estimated average annual
 debt service over 10 years is $703,500. 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 6.0 percent. The City is currently at 3.35 percent for 2021-22. The
 issuance of debt for these projects will not impact the City's debt capacity
 for non-voter approved debt as the issuance of debt for the projects is
 already included in the debt ratio.

 MOTION

Those speeding and driving recklessly are causing a dangerous situation for the entire
cornrnunity, and we must do everything possible to stop them. Speeding and street racing have
increased in the West San Fernando Valley tragically causing crashes with major injuries and
fatalities. Additional resources are needed to enforce traffic laws particularly in hot spots
including Vanalden Avenue from Gleneagles Drive to Ventura Blvd; and Valley Circle and Victory
Blvd or other Council District 3 locations that are used for street racing or frequent speeding
hazards where dangerous speeding is a regular occurrence.

Normally, the police try to enforce speeding and racing violations when they see them, but we
need more help than what they routinely can do. With additional Overtime Funds, LAPD and
Council District 3 will launch a task force to address the times when street racing occurs in
these areas.

I THEREFORE MOVE that $100,000 be transferred I appropriated from the General City
Purposes Fund No. 100-56, Account No. 0703 (CD 3 Community Services) to the Police Fund No.
100-70, Account No. 001092 (Overtime - Police Officers), to support overtime costs until June
30, 2022, for specialized police enforcement by Operations Valley Bureau in the following
specific targeted areas of organized racing, including speeding: Vanalden Avenue, Tarzana, from
Gleneagles Drive to Ventura Boulevard; and Valley Circle Boulevard and Victory Boulevard in
Woodland Hills and other CD3 locations that are used for street racing or have frequent
speeding hazards as determined by the Council office in consultation with the LAPD .

I FURTHER MOVE that the Police Department be authorized to make any technical corrections
or clarification as necessary to the above instructions in order to effectuate the intent of this
Motion.

 MOTION
 On January 13, 2022, 24 year-old Brianna Nicole Kupfer, was murdered while she was working at a
furniture store located at 3236 North La Brea Avenue. The victim was stabbed multiple times by a stranger
with no apparent motivation. The suspect has not yet been identified and presents a significant peril to the
community at large.

 The person or persons responsible for this crime represent an ongoing threat to the safety of the people
of Los Angeles; therefore, it is appropriate for the City of Los Angeles to offer a reward for information
leading to the identification, apprehension and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the death
of Brianna Nicole Kupfer.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that by adoption of this Motion, the Ciry Council provide an offer of reward
for information leading to the identification, apprehension, and conviction of the person or persons
responsible for the death of Brianna Nicole Kupfer on January 13, 2022, and in support thereof, make the
following findings pursuant to Division 19, Chapter 12, Article 1 of the Los Angeles Administrative Code:

1. That this assault was caused by the willful misconduct of one or more persons.

2. That this offer of reward is consistent with and taken for the immediate protection of the public peace,
 health and safety of local residents, as well as visitors to the City, and is consistent with the need to
 arrest and convict the person who, because of not being apprehended, could by their actions further
 terrorize and present a continuing and immediate menace to the rights of persons in the City.

3. That what happened to the victim is an especially disturbing crime and therefore, as a matter of public
 policy, the City hereby offers a reward as an added inducement for persons to come forward with
 information leading to the identification, apprehension and conviction of the person or persons
 responsible for the death of Brianna Nicole Kupfer.

4. That the sum of $50,000 shall be the aggregate maximum sum of any payment or payments of a City
 reward in this instance.

5. That the offer of reward shall be in. effect for six months from the date of the advertisement of the
 reward by the City Clerk.

 I FURTHER MOVE th.at the City Clerk be directed to cause notices and/or advertisements to be duly
published according to the requirements of Division 19, Chapter 12, Article 1 of the Los Angeles
Administrative Code, and to thereby cause the offer of reward to become effective.

 REGULAR COUNCIL AGENDA TO BE POSTED #53
 MOTION



 LA Sanitation and Environment (LASAN) provides services to ensure the health and safety of our residents,
 communities, and the environment. Critical services include collection and recycling of solid resources
 materials for resi<lential customers and City departments and collection, treatment and recycling of
 wastewater to produce recycled water, and livabiiity services.

 LASAN 's previous request for a transfer to the Solid Waste Resources Revenue Fund (SWRRF) Overtime
 Salaries Account was reduced by $2 million in the 2021-22 Second Financial Status Report . Based on an
 analysis of current payroll records, including actual data from pay period 14, which includes the Christmas
 and New Year's holidays, LASAN has determined that the Ove1time Salaries Account does not contain an
 adequate balance to meet payro!l for FY 2021-22. While a transfer of funds is being requested in the 2021-
 22 Third/Mid-Year Financial Status Report, the timing of that report will not meet LASAN's immediate
 payroll needs, particularly with the impacts from the ongoing COVID surge. Staff shortages in non-
 deferrabJe activities such as the collection of refuse have necessitated the significant use of overtime. The
 projected savings within LASAN's SWRRF 001010 Salaries General Account and the 50VX82 Expense
 and Equipment Account are sufficient to fully cover this transfer.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council, subject to the approval of the Mayor, authorize the Controller
 to transfer funds within Fund 100/82 and Fund 508/50 Bureau of Sanitation as follows:

 Account No. Account Name Amount

 From: 001010 (SWRRF) Salaries, General $1,925,000
 50VX82 (SWRRF) Expense and Equipment $1,075,000
 To: 001090 (SWR.'\F) Salaries, Overtime $3,000,000

 AD HOC COVID
 l\10TION

 The emergence of the Omicron corona virus variant has led to a winter surge breaking the
 U.S. record for most cases reported in a single day. Despite Omicron being roughly one-third
 less likely to cause hospitalizations compared to the Delta variant, it has proven more
 transmissible due to the amount of time it lingers in the air and other factors. The surging
 transmission of this highly mutated variant has led to a disruption in City services, cancelled
 flights, closed businesses, and overrun testing centers. This increased demand for testing has
 highlighted the shortage of walk-up testing sites with no appointment required. Many
 communities have been disproportionately affected by this shortage due a lack of resources
 including transportation, internet access, or an understanding of technology.

 According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) it is vital that
 persons with signs or symptoms of COVID-19 have diagnostic testing in order to disrupt further
 transmission of the virus. Increased testing for symptomatic individuals and those who have been
 exposed to the virus plays a key role in the City's efforts to contain and mitigate the pandemic.

 As the City of Los Angeles continues the State of Emergency declaration, testing
 resources should mirror the same levels present at the peak of the pandemic. While progress has
 been made with vaccination and booster rates, the production of at-home test kits, and rapid
 testing, walk-up facilities offering free PCR testing must be prioritized and expanded.

 I THEREFORE MOVE to increase our Citywide effort for safe and accessible testing,
 reduce disparities in the response, including racial and geographic disparities; direct LAFD in
 coordination with the Emergency Management Department to look into expanding the existing
 contract with Curative.

 ! FURTHER MOVE that the General Services Department, with the assistance of the
 City Attorney, and any other necessary department identify city-owned buildings or properties to
 be used as additional walk-up sites.

 RULES, ELECTIONS &~ERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS
 RE SO L U TI ON

 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 form of a Resolution by the City Council with the
 concurrence of the Mayor; and

 WHEREAS, the National Labor Standards Act (NLSA) was enacted in 1935 and allowed
employees in a workplace the right to unionize and to choose a representative, based on a majority
vote, who will then negotiate with their employer over terms and conditions of employment; and

 WHEPPAS, the NLSA established collective bargaining as the policy of the United States in
which workers are able to negotiate wages, benefits, hours, leave, health and safety practices, and
policies to balance work and family; and

 WHEREAS, while some workers in the United States continue to be represented by a union that
negotiates terms of employment on their behalf, in recent years some employers have sought to
undercut existing bargaining relationships and to reverse many hard-won workplace protections; and

 WHEREAS, recent union organizing activity at large companies such as Amazon, has
demonstrated that workers face intense pressure from managers and anti-union consultants hired to
suppress these organizing efforts; and

 WHEREAS, currently pending in Congress is H.R. 842 (Scott), which would protect and expand
employees' rights to collectively bargain in the workplace; and

 WHEREAS, the bill would make it an unfair labor practice to force employees to attend
employer meetings designed to discourage union membership and would prohibit employers from
entering into agreements with employees that would waive the employees' right to pursue or join
litigation; and

 WHEREAS, the House of Representatives has adopted the bill and it 1s currently under
consideration by the Senate; and

 WHEREAS, it is critical to ensure that collective bargaining rights are protected, particularly as
some employers seek to discourage and punish workers for exercising these rights;

 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, with the concurrence of the Mayor, that by the
adoption of this Resolution, the City of Los Angeles hereby includes in its 2021-22 Federal
Legislative Program SUPPORT for H.R. 842 (Scott), the Protecting the Right to Organize Act of
2021, which would expand various labor protections related to employees' rights to organize and
collectively bargain in the workplace.

 MOTION

 Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) is undergoing two major modernization programs, the Landside Access Modernization
 Project (LAMP) and the Airifled and Terminal Modernization Project (ATMP) , which together will create thousands of
 good-paying jobs, reduce traffic in local neighborhoods, and dramatically improve the passenger experience at LAX. LAMP
 aims to modernize the transportation infrastructure in and around LAX and seamlessly connect our city's growing pubiic
 transportation network to newly renovated terminals, including a central elevated tram that connects to new transportation
 and rental car facili t ies. The ATMP will repiace out dated remote gates with new terminal facilities, modernize the north
 runway and make it safer without expanding it, and prepare our airport for the 2028 Olympics. However, as LAX modern izes,
 we must remain focused on maintaining a safe and healthy working environment for the thousands of workers that keep the
 airport running every day.

 We know that major transportation and freight facilities can pose health risks to local residents, workers, and their families.
 At the Port of Los Ange!es, one of the busiest ports in the world, we have seen the effects of sign ificant air pollution from
 large freighters, trains, and trucks that move millions of pounds of goods into and out of our region every day. Airport
 workers and neighbors are similarly concerned for communities that experience the effects of airport operations,
 particularly those living underneath major arrival and departure flight paths at LAX. With zero emissions passenger and
 freight aircraft years, possibly decades away from large-scale adoption and use, health impacts for communities in close
 proximity to major airports will continue to be felt. This may include increased risk for respiratory and cardiovascular
 disease, diabetes, and neurologically related conditions.

 Studying these impacts to local residenls and airport workers, so that we can address them, is critical if we hope to live in a
 city and region that fully assesses the inequities and injustice of our past in order to build a more just future for everyone.
 However, federal laws and regulations severely limit LAW/:\s ability to fund such a study. It is therefore necessary for the City
 to step up with its own funding, to ensure that the work of environmental justice and building a greener Los Angeles
 continues at LAX.

 The City of Los Angeles should commission an independent study that examines:

 1. Long-term health impacts of aviation-related ultrafJne particle (UFP) exposure on communities near LAX, including:

 • Comprehensive epidemiological analysis to understand the distribution of UFP exposure and related health
 impacts including COPD, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes & pre-diabetes, childhood neurodevelopmental
 disorders, adult neurological effects
 • This study should include communities up to 16km downwind of LAX

 2. Occupational exposure to airport-related emissions for LAX workers , including:

 • Both jet-engine emissions and emissions from on-road vehicles and ground support equipment that are
 attributable to airport activity
 • An independent health survey of wo r kers including monitored exposure for employees over the course of a
 workday
 • This should include differentiating by job categories: workers who are primarily on the ramp, workers whose
 prima ry duties are within the terminals, workers who do work both indoors and outdoors within the Central
 Terminal Area, etc.
 • Readings of UFPs, NOX, C02

 3. To be conducted by independent experts with regional health centers like USC or UCLA.


I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council direct the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) and Chief Legi slative Analyst (CLA)
to report back identifying $3 million in funding for a pair of independent studies to better understand the impact of airport
operations on nearby communities and workers.

I FURTHER MOVE that the CAO and CLA identify independent experts on this topic from academia, as well as relevant
stakeholders who ? \1: 1 / 'volved in such a study.
