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.

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.

session to be placed on the next regular available Council agenda.

 MOTION

"Juice Jacking" is a relatively new cyber-theft tactic that criminals have employed to export
personal data and passwords from a smart phone p lugged into a public phone charging station.
Mal ware is installed through the USB port and can lock a device or expor~ personal data and
passwords directly to the perpetrator. Criminals can then use that infonnation to access online
accounts or sell it to other bad actors according to a consumer warning issued by the Federal
Communications Commission.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has recently warned consumers against using public
phone charging stations in order to avoid exposing their devices to malicious software. The FBI
is advising individuals to carry their own charger and USB cord and to use electrical outlets
instead of public charging stations.
I THEREFORE MOVE that the Information Technology Agency be instructed to report to the
Council with an overview of City operated public phone charging stations as well as potential
threats that may exist and what protections can be implemented to protect consumer's phones
from juice jacking.

1 FURTHER MOVE that Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) be requested to report to the
Council with an overview of LAWA's public phone charging stations and what measures are
being taken and/or can be taken to protect consumers phones from this cyber-theft.

 ECONOMIC &COMMUNITY
 DEVELOPMENT
 MOTION

The tourism industry is a major economic engine in Los Angeles, yet many workers at LAX and
in hotels are struggling to keep a roof over their heads and support their families.

The tourism industry benefited from massive bailouts during the pandemic, including $13 billion
in PPP loans to the hotel industry and over $45 billion in total government support to the top five
domestic airline carriers through the CARES Act's Payroll Support Program (PSP), along with
an additional $5 billion to contractors & subcontractors.

The tourism industry is now rebounding to pre-pandemic levels. In 2022. the U.S. hotel industry
reported average daily rate (ADR) and revenue per available room (RevPAR) that were the
highest for any year on record. The City is investing in the industry's future growth as Los
Angeles prepares to host the 2026 World Cup and the 2028 Olympics. This investment includes
major infrastructure and development projects, with LAX investing $6 billion in an expansion and
LA leading the nation in new hotel rooms.

Meanwhile, the workers that keep the tourism industry functioning, safe, and profitable -
including hotel housekeepers, LAX janitors and security guards, airplane cabin cleaners, airline
catering workers, airline passenger service workers, .LAX restaurant and retail workers, and
others - are facing housing insecurity as Los Angeles grapples with an unprecedented housing
and homelessness crisis.

While these workers benefit from the Los Angeles Living Wage Ordinance (LWO) and the Los
Angeles Hotel Worker Minimum Wage Ordinance (LA HWMO)l the wage rates have not kept up
with the rising tide of inflation and cost of living in Los Angeles. Raising wages for these workers
would positively impact over 36,000 people in Los Angeles and their families.

Also workers under the LWO have not seen their health care benefits keep up with rising costs
in healthcare. According to an April 2022 report presented by the City's Chief Administrative
Office, the LWO health benefits requirement has not kept up with the rising costs of family health
insurance coverage. As a result, many tourism workers and their families, who were among the
hardest hit during the pandemic, now lack quality, affordable health insurance.

Additionally, workers in the tourism industry are uniquely positioned to identify or respond to
emergencies or threats , yet a lack of appropriate training can place both workers and the public
at risk. A trained housekeeping workforce is needed to protect the health and safety of both
workers and the public from crimes such as human trafficking, domestic and sexual violence.
That is why neighboring cities like Santa Monica and West Hollywood have supported Public
Housekeeping Training.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the Chief Legislative Analyst to report with
an analysis, including the economic impacts, of amending the Los Angeles Living Wage
Ordinance (LWO} and the Los Angeles Hotel Worker Minimum Wage Ordinance (LA HWMO) to:



APR 12 2023
' .




 • Raise the hourly wage to $25 in 2023, and by $1 every year thereafter, fo reach $30 an
 hour by 2028;
 • Adjust the health care credit to meet the average cost of healthcare coverage , add
 minimum health benefit requirements including family coverage, and require
 transparency around health care payments;
 • Ensure that workers receive all eligible paid time off and sick days under the LWO, LA
 HWMO, and the Citywide Minimum Wage;
 • Add a Public Housekeeping Training requirement to the LA HWMO, similar to the
 ordinances in Santa Monica and West Hollywood; and
 • Clarify that enforcement of the LWO and LA HWMO ordinances shall be conducted by
 the City's Office of Wage Standards.

 I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council request the City Attorney to draft an ordinance based
 on the above report.

applicable limitations on the confidentiality of their communications with the advocate; aud

support victims and create a safe atmosphere for disclosure; and

 WHEREAS, the City of Los Angeles should support SB 376 to support trafficking victims with
accessing the assistance and resources they need;

Angeles hereby includes in its 2023-24 State Legislative Program SUPPORT for Senate Bill 376 to
provide human trafficking victims the right to have a human trafficking advocate and support person
