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.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.


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

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.

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

 1. AUTHORIZE the General Manager, Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD), or designee, to:

 a. Establish a Fast Track Solutions Loan Program as described in the LAHD report dated
 February 22, 2023, attached to Council file No. 23-0206.

 RESOLUTION


 WHEREAS, there is a critical shortage of affordable housing in Los Angeles and the City has been working
diligently to build over 11,000 new housing units to address this need;

 WHEREAS, the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD) has identified over 1,000 units within its own
pipeline in jeopardy of losing their long-term viability, facing challenges due to construction and insurance cost
increases, rising interest rates, and other factors;

 WHEREAS, on March 1, 2023, the Housing and Homelessness Committee recommended that the LAHD
form a Fast Track Solutions Program and utilize up to $28,400,000 in HOME, Linkage Fee, and SB 2 dollars to
award supplemental funding to pipeline projects to address these cost increases (C.F. 23-0206);

 WHEREAS, LAHD has identified 169 pipeline projects that have received City approval for funding or
bond issuances that may need additional financial assistance to ensure that they are financially viable;

 WHEREAS, the proposed Fast Track Solutions Program would solicit funding proposals from its pipeline
projects to identify the overall need and make funding awards more expeditiously than the regular Council approval
process through delegation of authority to the LAHD General Manager, subject to approval by an Administrative
Oversight Committee, and subject to the review and approval of City Attorney as to form;

 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that by the adoption ofthis Resolution, that the City Council
establish the Fast Track Solutions Program Administrative Oversight Committee (AOC), comprised of three
members with designees from the Office of the Chief Legislative Analyst, the Office of the City Administrative
Officer, and the Mayor's Office, subject to the following provisions:

 • The AOC shall be formed the length of time necessary to implement the Fast Track Solutions Program
 established by the Council, subject to the approval of the Mayor (C.F. 23-0206);
 • The AOC shall be staffed by LAHD;
 • The AOC will be responsible for reviewing, and approving or denying loan modification requests submitted
 by LAHD for affordable and supportive projects previously approved by the Mayor and Council that meet
 defined eligibility criteria and are currently at risk due to financing gaps;
 • All AOC funding decisions shall be subject to a prescribed, objective set of criteria;
 • Any action of the AOC to fund a project shall be subject to a unanimous vote or the action shall be sent to
 Council for consideration;
 • Any action of the AOC to fund a project shall become final at the expiration of the next three meeting days
 of the Council during which the Council has convened in regular session, unless a Councilmember
 introduces a motion within that time to reestablish Council's authority on a loan or actions of the AOC; and
 • The AOC shall report on its funding recommendations to Council on a bi-weekly basis (every two weeks).

 MOTION

 The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (llJA}, also known as the Bipartisan
 Infrastructure Law (BIL}, was signed into law by President Biden on November 15,
 2021. The llJA provided $1 billion ($1,000,000,000} over five years for Western United
 States water recycling programs, approximately $30,000,000 in available program funds
 will be provided through the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of
 Reclamation (Reclamation}'s WaterSMART Water Recycling and Desalination Grant
 Program.

 Reclamation's WaterSMART grant program provides financial assistance for
 projects that seek to conserve and use water more efficiently and accomplish other
 benefits that contribute to sustainability in the Western United States (West}. The City
 of Los Angeles is committed to becoming a water-resilient city, by first increasing the
 local water supply and maximizing water reuse from its water reclamation facilities in
 order to decrease our reliance on imported water. The City's major water reuse
 initiatives include the major capital improvement to Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant
 (HWRP) and the Donald C. Tillman Water Reclamation Plant (DCTWRP).

 These projects, located in Council Districts 11 and 6, respectively, establish
 long-term goals to reduce imported water use, increase local water supplies, and
 diversify the City's water portfolio to enhance reliability and climate-change resiliency.
 Along with conservation, stormwater capture, and groundwater basins cleanup, potable
 reuse was identified as a major local supply that could provide upwards of 50 percent of
 the total potable water demand.

 In a City Administrative Officer (CAO} report to City Council (CF 21-1015-S1), the
 Bureau of Sanitation is authorized to prepare and apply for the federal Reclamation
 WaterSMART grant. If awarded, the grant funds will offset some of the planning and
 design fees. There is no impact to the General Funds. If awarded, grant revenues from
 the additional $5,000,000 award(s) will be deposited to the Sewer Maintenance
 Construction Fund 761, Revenue Source Code 368402 (Other Federal Grants}.
 However, in a recent update to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the NOFA now requires
 potential proposals to also submit a formally adopted resolution authorizing the ability to
 negotiate, accept, execute and submit all documents to its designee.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council authorize the Bureau of Sanitation,
 or designee, to negotiate, accept, execute, and submit all documents, including, but not
 limited to, applications, agreements, amendments, and payment requests etc., by the

 MAR o 3 2023
PK
deadlines established by the grantor, subject to the approval of the City Attorney as to

million ($5,000,000) each, for the implementation of the Hyperion 2035 Phase 1 and
D.C. Tillman Advanced Water Purification Projects.

 I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution as
required by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, authorizing the Director and General
Manager of the Bureau of Sanitation, or designee, to negotiate, accept, execute, and
submit all documents, including, but not limited to, applications, agreements,
amendments, and payment requests as associated with the City of Los Angeles

 The Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) mission is to support United
 States citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build,
 sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover
 from and mitigate all hazards. In order to meet FEMA's mission, grant programs are
 offered to first responder agencies, such as the Staffing for Adequate Fire and
 Emergency Response Grants (SAFER) .

 SAFER was created to provide funding directly to fire departments to help them
 increase or maintain the number of trained, "front line" firefighters available in their
 communities. The goal of SAFER is to enhance the local fire departments' abilities to
 comply with staffing, response and operational standards established by the National
 Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The SAFER Grants are offered to support projects
 to hire new, additional firefighters to improve staffing levels.

 The objective of the SAFER grant program is to assist local fire departments with
 staffing and deployment capabilities in order to respond to emergencies, and assure
 that communities have adequate protection from fire and fire-related hazards.
 Ultimately, SAFER recipients should achieve more efficient responses, thereby ensuring
 communities have improved protection from fire and fire-related hazards.

 The Fiscal Year 2022 SAFER grant program has $360,000,000 of available funding that
 it is projected to award to 300 departments and/or organizations' projects. The Los
 Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) will be applying for the 2022 SAFER grant requesting
 funding for a new engine company, adding 12 firefighter positions totaling approximately
 $6.9M. If this amount is awarded, the City share would be approximately $4.2M over
 the three-year performance period. In order for the LAFD to be considered, its
 application must be submitted no later than March 17, 2023. It is necessary that Council
 authorize the LAFD to submit a grant application.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council, subject to the approval of the Mayor, authorize
 the Fire Chief, or her designee, to take all necessary actions to apply for the 2023
 SAFER grant.

 The 95th Annual Academy Awards, one of the most prominent award ceremonies in the world,
will be held on March 12, 2023 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. The Oscar, bestowed by the Academy
of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AM PAS), is the most prestigious award associated with the motion
picture industry. The award recognizes and honors excellence and distinctive achievements among film
making professionals including directors, actors, and writers. The Academy Awards is the oldest award
ceremony in the media, and remains one of the biggest viewership events in television, with a vast
worldwide audience of more than 225 countries.

 As a special event, the Academy Awards is subject to the Special Events Ordinance which
requires the recovery of costs for City services from the event sponsor. The Ordinance also provides for
the negotiations with major sports or entertainment venues in determining a payment for City
resources. Such negotiations take into consideration the economic benefit generated by the event.

 The City' s cultural identity is strongly tied to motion pictures given that major film making began
in Los Angeles. With its rich history, the film industry has been an extremely important component of
the local economy. The televised Academy Awards showcases Los Angeles as the entertainment capital
of the world, and as such, is a special event that the City must continue to strongly support. Negotiating
with AM PAS for event services and costs, including a multi-year special event contract, should be
pursued . AM PAS will pay a flat fee of $350,000 for City services that maybe required for the 95th Annual
Academy Awards ceremony, considering the economic benefit from this event.

I THEREFORE MOVE that Council authorize the payment acceptance of $350,000 for the provision of
City services that may be required for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AM PAS} 95th
Annual Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre on March 12, 2023.

I FURTHER MOVE that the Council instruct the City Administrative Officer (CAO} and Chief Legislative
Analyst (CLA), with the assistance of the City Attorney, to negotiate a contract between the City and
AM PAS for City resources to hold future Academy Award ceremonies in the City of Los Angeles.

I FURTHER MOVE that Council authorize the CAO to execute and administer the contract between the
City and AM PAS, subject to the approval of the City Attorney as to form and legality.

 PUBLIC SAFETY
 MOTION

In this moment in Los Angeles, as we are working toward diversifying our emergency response
through the creation of an Office of Unarmed Response and Safety (CF 22-0978), it is vitally
important for our 911 dispatchers to be fully staffed, appropriately trained, and given as many
resources and tools as possible to meet urgent and evolving needs.

The way our system works now, all 911 calls in the City are routed to the Los Angeles Police
Department (LAPD) Dispatch System. The onus falls upon dispatchers at these locations -
civilian employees classified as Police Service Representatives, or "PSRs" - to receive, analyze,
and appropriately respond to each call.

The motion asking for the creation of the Office of Unarmed Response and Safety itself names 8
different agencies that could potentially be responding to 911 calls. With so many different
resources available, and with the possibility of more pilots and programs coming online, it's
crucial that PSRs have the tools to make swift and accurate referrals for the sake of our
communities' safety.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council request the Personnel Department and the Los
Angeles Police Department report back on the current hiring, training practices, and policy
protocol for Police Service Representatives when it comes to unarmed crisis response related
service calls. This should include procedural mapping and technology needed related to
implem¥nting a "decision tree" for unarmed crisis response related service calls. Furthermore,
the departments should report on best practices from other municipalities.

SECONDED BY:
 PUBLIC SAFETY
 MOTION

 There have been growing concerns about wait times when dialing 911. Currently, all 911 calls are
 routed through to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Dispatch System. Calls may then be
 vetted and redirected to the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) Dispatch System which results in a
 delay of 20 to 30 seconds in response time for a dispatcher to receive the transferred call. LAPD has a
 departmental benchmark of answering 95% of calls for service within 15 seconds of the call coming
 in, which has been difficult to achieve without proper staffing. Last year's response time of answering
 calls for service averaged at 17 seconds and has increased to 20 seconds. Response times muster
 further conversation about ways to increase service for those who need critical support.

 911 dispatchers (classified as Police Service Representatives, or "PSRs"), are civilian first responder
 employees who dispatch resources and receive and analyze 911 telephone calls using a voice radio
 and digital computer terminal. There are currently 131 PSR vacancies which has greatly impacted
 response times for emergency and non-emergency related services. As the City is currently
 undergoing an attempt to coordinate an unarmed crisis response, proper staffing for 911 calls
 resources is necessary to meet our goal of protecting and helping those that need it in an emergency.
 When you call 911 in a crisis, you should get an immediate response-supporting practices that
 expedite hiring for PSRs is necessary to advancing the well-being of community health and safety.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the Los Angeles Police Department to report
 on (l)the current and historical staffing levels at all the dispatch centers; (2) the number of calls
 received per dispatch center; (3) the average number of calls handled per operator at each dispatch
 center; and (4) how current and future staffing plans impact the Department's ability to process 911
 calls in compliance with State-mandated guidelines. The report should include trend lines on call
 response times and the resources required to bring the response times down to the baseline.

 I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council instruct the Personnel Department, with the assistance of
 the Los Angeles Police Department, to report on the status of its hiring process related to recruitment,
 communication strategy, and hiring obstacles related to the Police Service Representative
 classification. This should be inclusive of: (1) the number of hiring tests offered in the last year, the
 communication and operations related to providing hiring those tests, and the number of applicants
 that participated in the testing process, those that passed the tests, and those that were eventually
 hired; (2) the potential to modernize the testing process: including elimination of the typing test
 certification and further requiring the typing test certification as a form of training once Police Service
 Representatives are hired, and expediting the testing process through including CritiCALL within the
 testing process; (3) the average timeline for hiring a Police Service Representative; and (4) the .....
 number of Police Service Representatives that pursue promotional opportunities.

 ECONOMIC &COMMUNITY
 DEVELOPMENT

 MOTION

 The mission of the Healthy Neighborhood Market Network (HNMN) is to ensure access
for all Angelenos to fresh produce available within a half mile of their residence. Many areas of
the Harbor Region and South Los Angeles are considered food deserts, as there is a high
concentration of comer markets, liquor stores, and fast-food restaurants in junction with a dearth
of supermarkets. This phenomenon primarily impacts low-focome neighborhoods and
communities of color and infringes upon access to healthy diet options in these areas.

 Over the past several years, the HNMN helped empower small business owners in these
areas to bring healthy food into their communities by increasing food access and supporting
community and economic development. By providing store owners with training and guidance
as well as upgrades to their stores, the HNMN has transformed these neighborhood markets into
bastions of healthy and affordable food.

 Since 2016, the HNMN program has completed six transformation projects, provided
training to more than 50 store owners, helped increase average produce revenues by 124 percent,
and increased average weekly profit for these stores by $1,453. These markets are providing
critical access for residents in these areas to healthier food options and increasing the economic
vitality of their communities. By expanding the existing program into underserved areas of
Council District 15, the HNMN program can enhance food options in these communities and
build toward a healthier future for all Angelenos.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the Economic and Workforce
Development Department (EWDD) to report on expanding the Healthy Neighborhood Market
program to Council District 15, with a focus on the qualifying neighborhoods of Harbor City and
Watts.

 I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council instruct EWDD to collaborate with the
Council Office and local stakeholders in determining site selection to ensure community and
operational support for future applicants and program participants, subject to eligibility.

 HOUSING &HOMELESSNESS

 MOTION
 The Los Angeles Housing Department's (LAHD) Rent Escrow Account Program (REAP)
ensures that residential units are maintained safe and habitable. In cases where a residential unit is
cited for certain health, safety, or housing law violation and an owner does not make the necessary
repairs in a timely manner, that unit will be entered into the REAP Program. Following a specified
period of time, LAHD inspects the unit to ensure that the violations have been addressed.
Generally, if deemed resolved, the Department makes a recommendation to Council to remove the
unit from REAP. At that time, it is imperative that the pertinent Council District office is notified
of LAHD's recommendation to remove a unit from REAP in advance of Council's hearing to
ensure adequate communication.

 The overall methodology for determining when a unit should be removed from REAP
should be assessed to ensure that the City's residential stock remains in habitable condition. While
under REAP status, a tenant may pay a reduced rent to either the property owner or have the funds
deposited into escrow. Escrowed funds would only be available to an owner, tenant, or interested
party upon request for certain eligible uses, including repairs, utilities, or relocation to another
building. Following removal from REAP, these escrowed funds would no longer be available.
Having a clear understanding of the process to remove a unit from REAP and improved procedures
for removing a unit from REAP could maximize the benefits of this program.

 Because Council Offices help maintain the overall well-being of our communities, each
Council Office should receive notice that a unit is recommended for removal from REAP. This
would ensure that the office is able to identify any additional issues that may directly relate to the
removal action. Offices should be notified of LAHD's recommendation to remove a unit from
REAP before such recommendations are agendized for Council consideration.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that Council instruct the Los Angeles Housing Department
(LAHD) to report within 30 days on:

 • The City's procedure for approving a unit removal from the Rent Escrow Account Program
 (REAP) and an analysis of the current methodology for clearing a unit; and

 • The feasibility of implementing an automatic notification system that would alert the
 pertinent Council Office with LAHD's.recommendation to remove a unit from REAP at
 the earliest possible date prior to a Council hearing.

 PUBLIC SAFETY
 MOTION


 On March I, 2023 the Los Angeles Police Protective League released a statement proposing 28 specific 9-1-1 calls
for service that could be responded to by an unarmed first responder and the creation of a protocol to ensure that response
is safe for officers and victims. The Los Angeles Police Depa1tment (LAPD) officers serve as the primary responders for 9-
1- l calls for service not requiring a fire safety or medical response and are often dispatched to calls for service requiring a
specialized response, including those related to persons experiencing homelessness or individuals experiencing a mental
health crisis. In their capacity as a law enforcement agency, the LAPD may not be best suited to provide the specialized to
such incidents.

 Accordingly, the City of Los Angeles has previously explored the potential for cettain 9-1-1 cal Is for service to be
diverted to an unarmed or specialized crisis response, pattnering with the County and community organizations to develop
specialized response capacity. These effo1ts have resulted in the piloting of programs such as the Crisis and Incident
Response through Community-led Engagement (CIRCLE) Program and the Therapeutic Van Pilot Program. The
deployment of unarmed civilian responders may also be an option to relieve sworn officers from incidents not requiring an
armed response. This would potentially allow for faster response times for both violent and non-violent incidents, provide
an appropriate response to a spectrum of calls for service, and allow more sworn officers to fulfill patrol duties. A
comprehensive analysis of the feasibility of diverting certain calls and ensuring capacity exists to respond would refine the
scope of the City's unarmed response eff01ts.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA), with the assistance of the Los Angeles Police
Depa1tment (LAPD) and any other departments as necessary, be instructed to repott on the feasibility of dive1ting the 28
calls identified by the March 1, 2023 Los Angeles Police Protective League press statement. The repott should include:

 • An analysis for each call identified, including entities with the jurisdiction, expettise, and capacity to
 respond absent of an LAPD first response; and
 • An overview of communication systems and dispatch capacity needed to allow for diversion of calls to
 appropriate responders, including personnel, equipment, and training.

 I FURTHER MOVE that CLA, with the assistance of the LAPD, City Attorney, and any other depattments as
necessary, be instructed to report on the feasibility of deploying non-sworn civilian first responders to 9-1-1 calls for service
that do not require an armed response and identify potential depattments, including any authority required for civilian
responders to enforce City laws and an overview of any calls for service legally requiring a sworn response by law
enforcement officer or other first responder.

 TRANSPORTATION
 MOTION
 Vision Zero, the City's effort to create safer streets and protect the most vulnerable
  road users, including pedestrians and bicyclists, has a goal of eliminating traffic deaths by
  2025. According to an April 2022 article in Outside, however, Black residents in Los
  Angeles account for eighteen percent of collision victims, despite comprising
  approximately eight percent of the City's population. Additionally, 70 percent of serious
  injuries and fatalities are concentrated on six percent of the City's streets, most of which
  are located in Black or Latino neighborhoods.

 As an example, the historic West Adams neighborhood in South Los Angeles has
  one of the most dangerous thoroughfares in the City in regards to traffic fatalities. From
  2009 to 2019, at least 45 cyclists were hit on West Adams Boulevard and six pedestrians
  were killed. For many who live in marginalized areas, walking or biking is the only
  transportation option. Infrastructure to make roads safer~ such as crosswalks, bike Janes,
  or even sidewalks, however, is often lacking.

 Biking While Black: How Safe Are Black Lives Bicycling?, an award-winning short
 film that showcases Black lives on bicycles, shines a light on the dangerous streets and
 roads in historically Black neighborhoods, and the inequities that exist, including access
 to safe and interconnected bike facilities.
 '
 The City's Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities deserve a
 transportation system that is rooted in mobility justice and equity. The City must invest in
 promoting accessibility and safety for all pedestrians and cyclists, especially those in
 BIPOC communities.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the Department of Transportation provide an update on the
 Vision Zero programs and projects, particularly activities in Black, Indigenous, and people of
 color communities, as it relates to pedestrian and bicycle safety, including bicycle safety
 educational campaigns.
