 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 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.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 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.

 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.




Friday - April 24, 2026 - PAGE 3
 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.

 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.

Friday - April 24, 2026 - PAGE 8

 determine which proposer can best provide the services
 required for the operation and management of RAP’s
 official merchandising website.

 revenue sharing fee received from Civic Collective, LLC into

 Percentage of Gross Receipts (PGR) fee on merchandise sales. Civic
 Collective projects valid revenue growth over the initial term as the

 implemented. There is no cost to the RAP for the development or
 operation of the website, as all start-up and operating costs will be
 borne by Civic Collective, LLC. For the first full year of operation, Civic
 Collective, LLC estimates total revenue of $252,000 and net profit to
 the RAP of $17,640. In the third year, total revenue is estimated at

Summary:

On April 24, 2026, the Chair of the Personnel and Hiring Committee considered a March
25, 2026 report from the Mayor relative to the exemption of one Assistant General
Manager (Class Code 1745) position for the Personnel Department from the Civil Service
pursuant to Charter Section 1001(b). According to the Mayor, Charter Section 1001(b)
allows up to 150 persons to be exempt, of which 126 are approved. Approval of this
request will increase the count. As of March 25, 2026, this request will be the 127th
position of the 150 exemptions. This position will assist in overseeing the planning,
implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and overall administration of the following
divisions within the Personnel Department: Background Investigation, Los Angeles Police
Department Hiring, Medical Services, and Public Safety. The Personnel Department
believes that, given the high level of responsibility and experience required, the position
of Assistant General Manager is appropriate for this level of duties. After consideration,
the Committee Chair moved to recommend approval of the exemption. This matter is
now submitted to Council for its consideration.

 File No. 25-1154-S1

GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS COMMITTEE REPORT relative to proposed donation
agreement with the Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust (LANLT) for the Watts Towers
Art Center (WTAC) Campus landscaping and hardscaping improvements.

Recommendations for Council action:

 1. APPROVE the acceptance of the LANLT landscaping and hardscape
 improvements and request the Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) and
 Department of General Services (GSD) to prepare and a “Donation Agreement”
 which would provide formal acceptance of the proposed improvements to the
 GSD-owned property, to be subsequently submitted to the City Council for
 approval.

 2. INSTRUCT the GSD to issue a right of entry permit on GSD-owned land
 surrounding the WTAC Campus facilities.

 3. APPROVE the Donation Agreement in substantial form, attached to the Council
 File; and, AUTHORIZE the DCA and/or GSD to make any technical corrections,
 clarifications or revisions, subject to City Attorney approval as to form changes.

Fiscal Impact Statement: The Municipal Facilities Committee (MFC) reports that there is
no General Fund impact as the project is funded by LANLT.

Community Impact Statement: None submitted.

Summary:

On April 21, 2026, your Committee considered an April 1, 2026 MFC report relative to
proposed donation agreement with the LANLT for the WTAC Campus landscaping and
hardscaping improvements. Subsequent to the release of the Committee agenda, a
proposed Donation Agreement was submitted to the City Clerk. According to the MFC,
the WTAC Campus, located at 1727 East 107th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90002, in
Council District 15 (CD 15), is the site of a planned landscaping and hardscape
improvement project. This Project was initiated by Department of Recreation and Parks,
DCA and LANLT to develop the landscaping and hardscape across the Watts Cultural
Crescent. The $13 million estimated cost for this development will be funded by LANLT.
The Project will encompass properties owned by both RAP and the GSD as detailed in
the report.

On July 22, 2019, the LANLT, working with RAP, filed and received approval of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Compliance Certificate - Notice of
Exemption. This filing is shown in Exhibit C of the executed Donation Agreement
between RAP and the LANLT (Contract No. C-142065). On December 5, 2022, the
LANLT and RAP formalized a Donation Agreement (Contract No. C-142065) which grants
the LANLT the right-of-entry to the park land portion of the campus owned by RAP. Under
this agreement, the LANLT and RAP collaborated on developing the design drawings
(Attachment A of the MFC report) for the proposed improvements, incorporating feedback
from outreach conducted by the LANLT in partnership with local community organizations
and RAP.

LANLT will act as the project manager and developer, having already hired the design
team. In this role, the LANLT will subsequently solicit a contractor to perform the work.
Both RAP, BOE and the LANLT will contract for, and oversee, the construction of the
improvements. LANLT is also responsible for identifying and applying for any necessary
additional funding for the construction of improvements to the property

The Donation Agreement between the LANLT and the City will substantively cite similar
terms included in the executed agreement between RAP and LANLT. The agreement
will cite that GSD or designee will accept the proposed donated improvements for the
GSD-owned property and assume ownership of the improvements. Additionally, the
Bureau of Engineering will review the detailed final plans and specifications drafted by
LANLT to ensure they meet City standards and BCA will conduct the final inspection and
acceptance of the completed improvements. After consideration and having provided an
opportunity for public comment, the Committee moved to recommend approval of the
recommendations contained in the MFC report, as amended to include submittal of the
Donation Agreement. This matter is now submitted to Council for its consideration.


Respectfully Submitted,

 MOTION

Los Angeles is a global city that has long prioritized international partnerships through its Sister
Cities Program to promote cultural understanding, economic development, and diplomatic
collaboration. These relationships foster meaningful exchanges that benefit residents, businesses,
and institutions across the City.

Casablanca, Morocco's largest city with a population of approximately 4 million, serves as the
nation's financial and commercial capital and a key economic hub for the broader North Africa
(Maghreb) region. As a major port city, Casablanca connects North Africa to European and
global markets and accounts for approximately 30 percent of Morocco's gross domestic product.
The city is responsible for 44 percent of Morocco's industrial production, 33 percent of its
industrial exports, and nearly one-third of its banking network, making it a critical center for
global commerce and trade.

Morocco has a longstanding historic relationship with the United States, having been the first
country to formally recognize the United States as an independent nation in 1777. Today, that
relationship continues to grow through expanding economic, cultural, and transportation ties.
Notably, Royal Air Maroc is scheduled to launch nonstop service between Los Angeles
International Airport (LAX) and Casablanca in June 2026, establishing a new direct connection
between the U.S. West Coast and Africa.

Casablanca and Los Angeles share key similarities as coastal, globally connected cities with
diverse populations, strong tourism sectors, and thriving industries spanning trade,
manufacturing, innovation, and the arts. Casablanca is also recognized as a leading tourist
destination and a center for major industries, including textiles, automotive manufacturing,
aeronautics, construction, and food production. Additionally, the city holds a prominent place in
international sports, particularly as the football capital of Africa and home to major clubs such as
Wydad AC and Raja CA.

Los Angeles is home to a vibrant and growing Moroccan community, which contributes
significantly to the cultural diversity, economic vitality, and international character of the City.
Establishing a Sister City relationship between Los Angeles and Casablanca would strengthen
economic ties, promote bilateral trade and investment, expand cultural, educational, and sports
exchanges, and deepen people-to-people connections-particularly for the Moroccan diaspora in
Los Angeles.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council's Rules, Elections, and Intergovernmental Relations
Committee initiate the process to consider and ultimately adopt Casablanca, Morocco, as a Sister
City to Los Angeles.

 MOTION

Sam Watson became a resident of Los Angeles in 1956 and went on to dedicate decades of service to the
community. From 1971 to 1983, he served as a coach and mentor at Raymond Avenue Elementaiy
School, positively impacting the lives of countless young people.

In 1983, Sam Watson began working at Motown Records in the Artist Relations Department, contributing
to one of the most influential music labels in history and working with legendary artists including Marvin
Gaye, The Jackson Five, Smokey Robinson, and many other renowned performers.

In the early 90s, he expanded his career into live entertainment production, working with world-renowned
boxing and entertainment producer Al Haymon to produce live and broadcast concerts around the world.
He later became widely recognized as a key figure in Premier Boxing Champions (PBC), a leading
boxing promotion company established in 2015 that showcases world-class boxing events globally.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Sam Watson has mentored thousands of youth in South Los
Angeles and across the nation, using sports as a tool to instill pride, discipline, and self-esteem. He has
also raised substantial funds in support of cancer and other medical research and charitable causes.
Throughout his life, he has remained a dedicated humanitarian, philanthropist, and community activist
committed to improving the lives of others.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the intersection of 80th Street and Main Street in Council District 9 be
designated as "Sam Watson Way," and that the Department of Transpo1tation be directed to install
permanent ceremonial signs to this effect at this location.
