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.


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 - February 28, 2024 - 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.

 B. TRADE, TRAVEL, AND TOURISM COMMITTEE REPORT

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

 1. AUTHORIZE $1 million for the CAO and CLA, in consultation
 with APCLA, to evaluate the cost and schedule, including risk
 exposure and cost sharing, of a traditional City delivery
 method and P3 model, using revised APCLA numbers from
 February 2023, as well as any other relevant updated data or

 within 45 days.
 2. INSTRUCT the CAO, with the assistance of the CLA, to report
 to Council within 45 days on potential funding sources and
 funding structures for debt service payments, in addition to
 impacts on existing programs and services.


 Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO and CLA report that there is no
 General Fund impact in the current year as a result of the
 recommendations contained in the joint CAO/CLA report dated
 December 4, 2023, attached to the Council file, as costs will be paid from
 the Municipal Corporation of Los Angeles (MICLA) Commercial Paper
 Program (LACC). An appropriation of $2 million is included in the 2023­
 24 Adopted Budget, Capital Finance Administration Fund, LACC
 Commercial Paper Account, for costs associated with administering this
 commercial paper program, including interest costs. The future repayment
 of these costs financed through MICLA will require an appropriation from
 the General Fund or some other funding source. Further information
 regarding the immediate and short­term fiscal impacts associated with
 approval of the Options is detailed in the aforementioned CAO/CLA joint
 report.

 Debt Impact Statement: The CLA and CAO report that the issuance of
Wednesday - February 28, 2024 - PAGE 34
 MICLA debt is a General Fund obligation. The issuance of MICLA for up to
 24 Adopted Budget, Capital Finance Administration Fund, LACC
 Commercial Paper Account, for costs associated with administering this
 commercial paper program, including interest costs. The future repayment
 of these costs financed through MICLA will require an appropriation from
 the General Fund or some other funding source. Further information
 regarding the immediate and short­term fiscal impacts associated with
 approval of the Options is detailed in the aforementioned CAO/CLA joint
 report.

 Debt Impact Statement: The CLA and CAO report that the issuance of
 MICLA debt is a General Fund obligation. The issuance of MICLA for up to
 $5 million would cause the City to borrow $5 million at an approximate 5.5
 percent interest rate over 20 years. The total estimated debt service
 related to the recommendations in said report is $8.4 million, including
 interest of approximately $3.4 million. During the life of the bonds, the
 estimated average annual debt service is $418,397 for 20 years. 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 non­voted direct debt as a percentage of
 General Fund revenues is 6.0 percent. The revised 2023­24 Adopted
 Budget non voter­approved debt ratio is 2.67 percent. The issuance of
 debt for these purposes will not cause the City to exceed the six percent
 non­voter approved debt limit.

Summary:

On February 27, 2024, your Committee considered December 26, 2023 City Attorney and
February 13, 2024 CAO reports relative to the FY 2023-24 OTS Grant Award. According
to the CAO, the Alcohol and Drug Impaired Driving Vertical Prosecution Program within
the Office of the City Attorney is dedicated to the prosecution of those driving under the
influence of alcohol or drugs within the City. The grant award of $1,069,900 will support
the following program costs: $655,325 for salaries, $306,575 for related costs, $8,000 for
travel expenses, and $10,000 for contractual services. The total program cost is
$1,069,928 of which the $1,069,900 will be provided by the grant. Funding for the
remaining program cost of $28 for related costs is included in the City Attorney 2023-24
Adopted Budget.

The City Attorney is requesting approval to accept the FY 2023-24 OTS grant award of
$1,069,900 to support the Alcohol and Drug Impaired Driving Vertical Prosecution
Program. Grant funding is awarded by the OTS, which serves as the pass-through
agency for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The grant performance
period is from October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024. There is no match
requirement.

This is the tenth year the City Attorney's Office has been awarded this grant. This
Program is dedicated to the prosecution of individuals who drive impaired by alcohol or
drugs. The City Attorney’s prosecution team will oversee cases vertically, meaning
prosecutors will handle cases throughout each step of the criminal justice process.
Prosecution team members will work to increase the capabilities of the team and the office
by obtaining and delivering specialized training. Team members will share information
with peers and law enforcement personnel throughout the county and across the state.
The Los Angeles City Attorney’s office will accomplish these objectives as a means to
 ITEM 10


prevent impaired driving and reduce alcohol and drug-involved traffic fatalities and
injuries. After consideration and having provided an opportunity for public comment, the
Committee moved to recommend approval of the recommendations contained in the CAO
report and to note and file the City Attorney report. This matter is now submitted to
Council for its consideration.



Respectfully Submitted,

Public Safety Committee

 -NOT OFFICIAL UNTIL COUNCIL ACTS-
 SUBSTITUTE - ITEM No. 24
 MOTION

I MOVE that the Council adopt the following actions:
 f)
 1. INSTRUCT the City Administrative Officer (CAO) and Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA),
 in consultation with AEG Plenary Conventions Los Angeles (APCLA) and the City
 Tourism Department (CTD), to evaluate the cost and schedule, including risk exposure and
 cost sharing of APCLA's Public-Private-Partnership (P3) proposal using revised APCLA
 numbers from February 2023, as well as any other relevant updated data or information
 they may have, to be provided by APCLA; and further instruct CAO and CLA to engage a
 consultant to review the terms discussed by the CLA, CAO, and APCLA and to report on
 those findings within the ensuing 45 days.

 The evaluation of the P3 proposal should be undertaken transparently and on a
 collaborative basis among the CAO, CLA, and APCLA, in consultation with the CTD,
 Planning Department, Bureau of Engineering, and Department of Building & Safety.

 The report should answer the following five questions in relation to the LACC Expansion
 Project P3 as proposed by APCLA:
 a) What is the estimated construction price and scope of the LACC Expansion
 Project?
 b) What is the estimated net annual obligation on the General Fund after taking LACC
 net revenues into account? Provide a range of options for Council to consider
 including various operating terms of the P3 Agreement and associated payment
 rates.
 c) Can the project be delivered in time for the LA 2028 Olympics/Paralympics?
 Provide a development schedule including the City decisions and actions required
 to achieve this.
 d) When would the first annual availability payment be required to be paid by the City
 under the proposed financial structure? What flexibility would the City have to
 refinance the project or adjust the scope and cost of operating services over the term
 of the P3 Agreement?
 e) Provide a high level summary of the risks transferred to APCLA and retained by
 the City under the P3 proposal and compare these to the risks that City would retain
 under a traditional delivery model.

 2. INSTRUCT the CAO and CLA to ensure that any P3 proposal agreement include the
 following:
 a) delivery of the City’s full required construction and operating scope without
 reduction;
 b) commitment to expand the JW Marriott Hotel;
 c) affordability within City-defined general fund impact limits and competitive
 pricing compared to other non-P3 options;
 d) the transfer of significant construction and operating risks to APCLA along with
 clear long-term quality commitments to the City, in line with P3 market norms;
 e) appropriate development cost sharing that ensures none of APCLA’s development
 costs are underwritten by the City, with the exception of only detailed design fees
 and site investigation costs; and
 f) the incorporation of strategies to ensure the various construction, operations, and
 financing elements of the project will be market-tested or competitively priced to
 improve the overall cost to the City.

 3. INSTRUCT the CAO to identify funds within the Los Angeles Convention Center’s
 MICLA Commercial Paper Program required to complete the requested analysis of the P3
 project, and include the appropriate transaction recommendations as part of a subsequent
 Financial Status Report or Construction Project Report.

 4. INSTRUCT the CAO, with the assistance of the CLA, to report to Council within 45 days
 on potential funding sources and funding structures for debt service and P3 availability
 payments, in addition to impacts on existing programs and services.

 5. INSTRUCT the CAO and CLA to provide direct and indirect economic impact analysis
 for all the P3 options and City driven options that takes into consideration economic impact
 to the Downtown LA area and the City of Los Angeles at large.
