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




 Wednesday - March 9, 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.

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.

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.

 MOTION -·--------.. ·------------··- .
 #52 I

 The California Cannabis Equity Act of2018 (Bradford, 2018) established a Local Equity Grant
Program, which provides grant funds that are administered by the Governor's Office of Business and
Economic Development. Tbis Local Equity Grant provides funds for direct assistance to local
jurisdictions' commercial cannabis Social Equity Programs, and their Social Equity applicants and
licensees.

 The City of Los Angeles operates a Social Equity Program that promotes equitable ownership
and employment opportunities for marginalized communities in order to address the disproportionate
impacts of the War on Drugs in those communities. In October 2021, the Governor's Office of Business
and Economic Development issued a grant solicitation for the Cannabis Equity Grants Program, and
subsequently, the Department of Cannabis Regulation submitted an application for additional grant
funding. In March 2022, the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development announced
that the City of Los Angeles was awarded an additional $5,726,309.09 in equity grant funding for the
City's Social Equity Program.

 The Department of Cannabis Regulation intends to allocate the funds from the Local Equity
Grant Program for a grant program for local equity applicants or licensees to assist with startup and
ongoing costs, to provide technical and business development assistance, and to provide workforce
development assistance to local Social Equity Program applicants and participants.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council authorize the Department of Cannabis Regulation to
accept a grant in the amount of$5,726,309.09 from the State of California to be used to assist the City's
commercial cannabis Social Equity Program and Social Equity applicants and licensees; to deposit
these funds into a new Account in Fund No. 60E-13, entitled "2022 Cannabis Equity Grant (CEO);"
and to execute the attached standard agreement with the Governor's Office of Business and Economic
Development for the period of March 15, 2022 through October 31, 2023, including any extensions or
amendments thereof, subject to the approval of the City Attorney as to form and legality.

 I FURTHER MOVE that the Council adopt the attached Resolution as required by the granting
agency.

 MOTION


Two years ago, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19, the disease caused
by the SARS-CoV-2, a pandemic. The City of Los Angeles declared a local State of Emergency
shortly after, and over the course of the next two years, the City adopted emergency protective
measures for the safety and benefit of the public and its own employees. One of these actions
was the City of LA COVID-19 employee vaccination mandate, adopted in the Fall of 2021 .

The employee vaccine mandate was adopted during the surge of the Delta variant. It was
presented as a 'necessary tool to protect the City's workforce and the public that it serves.
However, much has changed in the nearly six months since the mandate went into effect.

Today, the County and City recently announced measures that have initiated the unwinding
process of the protective measures implemented during the height of the pandemic. For
example, lifting the indoor mask mandate and consideration of removing components of the
vaccination verification mandate. •

In the ever-changing climate that the COVID-19 pandemic presents to us, it is vital that we
frequently review and re-assess the emergency measures that we put into effect. Those that are
no longer benefiting the City, and in fact - may be posing a detriment - need to be reconsidered
and ultimately lifted.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Administrative Officer and the City Attorney be requested to
report on the feasibility and impacts of rescinding the city employee vaccine mandate.

 MOTION

Currently the City is operating Project RoomKey (PRK) interim housing sites that are valuable
tools to house unsheltered homeless individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Funding for
the operations of these sites is to be reimbursed by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA), however that funding was set to expire April 1, 20222, and theys PRK sites
were scheduled to be closed.

On March 1, 2022, President Biden announced that the FEMA would extend 100 percent
reimbursement of emergency interim sites such as PRK, through July 1, 2022.

As PRK sites remain a reimbursable expense for the City and a critical life saving shelter
options for people experiencing homelessness the City has a great need to extend these sites
beyond their current closure date.

I THEREFORE MOVE, that the City Council instruct the City Administrative Officer (CAO) and
the Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA) to identify funds to continue operation of all the Project
RoomKey sites in the City, with an expectation that funding for these sites is expected to be
reimbursed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

I FURTHER MOVE that CAO, the General Service Department, and the Los Angeles Homeless
Service Authority work with hotel owners and operators to extend leases and service
agreements for as long as the Federal Emergency Management Agency is offering full
reimbursement.

 MOTION

Amidst a growing and worsening homelessness crisis, our City has an obligation to protect and
promote fair and equitable access to housing. Too often, formerly unhoused and otherwise
economically disadvantaged individuals are discriminated against when it comes to housing, with
landlords screening out those who have past eviction histories or poor credit histories.

According to the University of Southern California's Sol Price Center for Social Innovation, in 2019,
three out of four Los Angeles households surveyed were rent burdened, spending more than 30% of
household income on rent and utilities; while nearly half of renters were severely rent burdened,
spending more than half of their household income on rent and utilities. The study found a majority
of renters were significantly cutting back on basic needs in order to afford rent, with more than 60%
of renters cutting back on food, 45% on clothing and 33% on transportation in order to afford rent.
One in five renters reported being unable to pay for an unexpected $400 expense. Such households
may take on credit card debt or sacrifice other bills to pay rent, while others may be unbanked or rely
on cash.

Further, credit reports do not show a tenants' record of paying utility bills and rent on time. Research
shows that credit reports are also prone to errors, with the Federal Trade Commission finding that
20% of consumers had verified errors on their reports. The use of credit reports also exacerbates
historic racial inequities, as they reflect areas of the economy with a long history of discrimination -
housing, employment, and debt collection. In fact, data shows credit scores are often lower in
communities of color. In addition, the economic fallout from the pandemic will likely result in a
wave of debt collections that will most impact low-income and Black and Brown Angelenos.

Algorithmic and automated tenant screenings services also create barriers to equitable housing access
for tenants. Investigations by the New York Times, NBC, and ProPublica into tenant screening
services have identified patterns of inaccurate reports that misidentify individuals, pull information
irrelevant to a candidates' potential tenancy, and enable racial and disability discrimination. The
automated reports produced by these tenant screening services often do not disseminate the
underlying records considered, instead offering a "risk" score and a thumbs-up or thumbs-down
recommendation for leasing to an applicant.

Cities across the country have stepped up to address these issues through policies that strengthen
renter's access to housing opportunities. Philadelphia recently passed a set of Rental Access
Ordinances that combat tenant displacement and require that landlords assess applicants holistically
instead of relying exclusively on credit report~, consumer reports, or other third-party tenant
screening reports when deciding whether to rent to prospective tenants. Landlords will be prohibited
from rejecting applicants based on nonpaym; nt of rent or utilities.......
 ~
 during the COVID-19 pandemic,
as well as certain categories of evictions. " • a "
 •
California has adopted some policies to prohibit landlords from using COVID-19 rent debt as a
negative factor when evaluating rental applications. The City should build on these protections to
ensure a debt free recovery from the pandemic for all and to reduce barriers to housing for Black and
Brown communities, low-income Angelenos, and people experiencing homelessness.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the City Attorney, in consultation with the
Housing Depanment, to prepare and present, within 45 days, a Rental Access Ordinance that:
 • Prohibits landlords, or their agents, from asking about or using a prospective tenant's failure
 to pay rent or utility bills during the COVID-19 emergency period in the evaluation of a
 rental application;
 • Prohibits landlords, or their agents, from asking about or using a prospective tenant's prior or
 ongoing pa11icipation in a rental assistance program in the evaluation of a rental application;
 • Prohibits landlords, or their agents, from asking about or using a prospective tenant's history
 of one or more eviction notices served or cases having been filed against the tenant,
 regardless of the outcomes of the case( s), in the evaluation of a rental application;
 • Prohibits landlords, or their agents, from using algorithmic or automated tenant screening or
 evaluation services, including tenant screening or approval scores, in the evaluation of a
 rental application;
 • Prohibits landlords, or their agents, from using credit checks and/or asking about credit
 history (including bankruptcy) in the evaluation of a rental application; and
 • Includes a private right of action for prospective renters, or organizations acting on their
 behalf, with attorneys' fees, and implements penalties for violations of the ordinance to
 encourage adherence to the provisions of the Rental Access Ordinance, discourage
 discriminatory and/or arbitrary landlord screening practices, and otherwise strengthen the
 enforceability of the Rental Access Ordinance.

I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council instruct the Housing Department and City Attorney to
report back with a plan for education and outreach to renters and landlords regarding the Rental
Access Ordinance, including estimated costs and resources needed.

 MOTION

Despite fair housing laws at the federal level and source of income laws at the state and local levels,
discrimination against protected groups and voucher holders still presents a major barrier to equitable
housing access in Los Angeles. A major reason is the lack of transparency in the rental screening
process, as well as a lack of meaningful enforcement when such discrimination occurs.

Cities like Seattle and Philadelphia and the State of Washington have passed laws that increase
transparency and accountability, and provide opportunities to remedy errors in the rental application
and tenant screening processes. In Philadelphia, for example, a landlord must provide, up front, to all
prospective tenants the criteria the landlord uses to evaluate rental applications. Tenants are thus able
to see how criteria will be used, know what circumstances might need to be explained, and decide
whether it is worth spending their money on an application fee. If rejected, tenants are entitled to an
explanation, based on the screening criteria, of the reasons for the rejection of their application.
Tenants also have the opportunity to dispute incorrect information, provide exculpatory context, and
demonstrate an ability to meet the criteria based on changed circumstances.

Los Angeles should adopt similar policies to increase transparency in the housing application
process, reduce obstructions arising from explicit and implicit bias against tenants, and provide
accountability when discrimination or incorrect information leads to unjust application denials.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the City Attorney, in consultation with the
LA Housing Department, to prepare and present, within 60 days, a Rental Transparency and
Accountability Ordinance applying to all rental housing units in Los Angeles, which would require
that landlords, prior to the collection and evaluation of rental applications, disclose in writing to
prospective applicants the uniform screening criteria that landlords will use to evaluate and select
applicants, consistent with federal and state law, and that such criteria be reasonably related to the
tenancy. The Rental Transparency and Accountability Ordinance should:
 • Require all landlords to include, alongside any advertisement of a rental property in printed
 material or online advertisements:
 o the uniform screening criteria,
 o the minimum requirements for eligibility that are reasonably related to the tenancy,
 o the monthly rent amount and any "promotional" rent discounts, as well as the
 duration and expiration date for such a discount,
 o the address of the property, and
 o information regarding tenants' rights under Civil Code section 1950.6, which requires
 landlords to return application fees if not used for the authorized pmposes and
 prohibits landlords from charging application fees if they know or should know that
 no unit is available at that time or will be available within a reasonable period of
 time;

 • ~ .
 ',.
 • Require all landlords to present a copy of such screening criteria and minimum requirements
 at the first interaction with a prospective tenant, including walk-up applicants, and make
 available translations in predominant languages spoken in the community;
 • Require landlords to ask all screening questions in a format that allows applicants to provide
 narrative answers or explanations (not only "yes" or "no") ;
 • Maximize accessibility to applicants with disabilities, modeled on Portland City Code
 Section 30.01.086, including a requirement that for the first two weeks after an application
 period opens, applicants with mobility disabilities shall be prioritized for Accessible
 Dwelling Units, and their applications shall be processed and decided upon before other
 applicants;
 • Include a requirement that landlords provide written notice and disclosure of the reasons for
 any rejection of a prospective tenant within a specified time period of a rejection;
 • Include a requirement that landlords provide a form for prospective tenants to request
 reconsideration as part of a rejection which will allow tenants to provide mitigating
 information, such as the tenant's history of on-time rental payments that typically go
 unreported to credit agencies, new or increased income, recommendations provided by past
 employers, housing providers, or service providers, and changes in circwnstances which
 make prior lease violations, if any exist, less likely to reoccur;
 • Establish a private right of action for prospective renters, or organizations acting on their
 behalf, with attorneys' fees, and implement penalties for violations of the ordinance to
 encourage adherence to the provisions of the Rental Transparency and Accountability
 Ordinance, discourage discriminatory and/or arbitrary landlord screening practices, and
 otherwise strengthen the enforceability of the Ordinance.

 I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council instruct the LAHD to develop a sample universal form
 for landlords to use as screening criteria; a universal form to use in their rejection of prospective
 tenants' applications, which includes sections for the required information described above; and a
 sample form for prospective tenants to use to request reconsideration; with each made available in
 multiple languages (at minimum, Spanish, Korean, Filipino, Armenian, Chinese, and Persian).

 I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council instruct the LAHD, in partnership with the Civil and
 Human Rights Department, to report back on the staffing needs for developing and operating a joint
 complaint driven system wherein individuals may file grievances should they feel the ordinance is Q
 violated. :Jf:J

 HOUSING
 MOTION

The City of Los Angeles's Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO) regulates, among other things, allowable
rent increases for all units built and occupied before October 1, 1978. But a 2009 study by the Economic
Roundtable found that 27 percent of Los Angeles's RSO tenants had experienced rent increases higher
than permitted, while 37 percent were not aware their rents were stabilized. Moreover, a quarter of all
complaints in 2014-15 to the City's Housing and Community Investment Department (HCID)'s Rent
Division were based on illegal rent increases.

In response to a motion from City Council in 2015, the HCID outlined the creation of a Rent Registry
that would require the owners of buildings with rent-stabilized units to report data on an annual basis,
including a list of all units owned, the rent for each unit, and the move-in dates of all tenants. In the
department's transmittal to Council in 2016, the HCID stated that the registry would "provide a
monitoring system which could flag illegal rent increases."

To accomplish this, the HCID proposed "to verify the accuracy of rents reported by notifying tenants ...
of the rent reported by their landlord and providing tenants the opportunity to dispute the reported rent
information." Additionally, landlord-reported information would be available to tenants "online and
through the HCID's normal communication channels."

The City's Rent Registry Ordinance (#184529) became effective on October 4, 2016, and was
implemented on January 1, 2017, requiring landlords to annually report the rent amount and tenancy
information for every rental unit in the City subject to the Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO). To
implement the Rent Registry Ordinance, the City created an online Rent Registry public portal for
landlords to report the required information. (A paper form is also available for landlords who are
unable to complete the form online.) The original vision of the Rent Registry, however, has yet to be
fully implemented.

With the City's eviction moratorium is currently in place-and in future months as emergency tenant
protections are lifted-it is critical for the City to document rent amounts reported by landlords in order
to prevent illegal rent increases, to ensure rents charged for RSO units comport with City ordinances,
and to make sure tenants are aware of their rights. To do so, the recently renamed Los Angeles Housing
Department (LAHD) has developed a plan to mail individual notifications to every RSO tenant in the
City, informing them of the rent amount for their unit as reported by their landlords and providing
additional information about tenant protections.

In order for LAHD's planned mailing to be effective and to facilitate the department's investigation of
disputes on reported rent, LAHD must develop an online public portal for tenants to report their rent
amounts when they dispute the amount reported by the landlord. This portal should also include an
external dashboard report feature for tenants to view registration information about their rental unit. This
will complement the online public portal that is already available for landlords.
.
 In addition, LAHD will need to develop an internal system for staff to capture and analyze tenants'
 reported rent amounts stemming from the department's notification mailing and to facilitate outreach
 and training about the Rent Registry for City staff and community partners.

 These improvements to the City's Rent Registry will be a critical enforcement tool to prevent illegal rent
 increases and illegal evictions under the RSO, as well as to provide tenants with important resources for
 a myriad of other housing issues such as discrimination, rodent infestation, habitability, affordable
 accessible housing, and legal referrals.

 The City has begun the process of collecting valuable data regarding tenancy and rents in Los Angeles.
 Only by following through on its stated goals of verifying said information by providing it to tenants, as
 well as collecting and disseminating new vital pieces of information, can the City fulfill its promise to
 proactively monitor and enforce the rules and regulations provided under the Rent Stabilization
 Ordinance.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct and authorize LAHD to AMEND the existing
 contract (C-136109) with Cask NX, LLC for the amount of $750,000 and extend the end date to June
 30, 2023, for upgrades associated with the Rent Registry Program to fulfill tenant outreach goals in a
 timely manner for the current service year 2022, by creating a one-stop shop for landlords and tenants
 where landlords can report rent amounts, tenants can dispute rent amounts, and tenants can view
 registration information about their rental unit. The additional term of the contract should allow for
 continuation of system development from March 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023, and authorize LAHD to
 utilize $750,000 for contract services that was allocated to LAHD from the General Fund in the
 2021-2022 fiscal year. This amount should be re-allocated to LAHD to fund the contract services for the
 remainder of2021-2022 and 2022-2023 fiscal years.

 I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council authorize the CAO to make technical corrections to the
 above as necessary to implement Council intentions.

 HOUSING
 MOTION

All Angelenos deserve access to stable, affordable housing. In fact, stable housing is one of the
most important factors contributing to positive physical and mental health outcomes for
individuals and families. Currently, however, Angelenos with past criminal histories often face
insurmountable barriers to housing and are routinely screened out when applying to rent housing
due to criminal background checks in private rental, nonprofit affordable housing, and public
housing units.

The effects of these barriers are stark: formerly incarcerated individuals are ten to thirteen times
more likely to experience homelessness than those without. This cycle is also
self-perpetuating-a recent survey by the Marshall Project found that affordable housing was
one of the top factors cited by incarcerated individuals as something that could have kept them
out of prison.

Criminal background checks for rental units also serve to reinforce the significant racial
disparities present in our criminal justice system, resulting in the disproportionate obstruction of
housing access for Black and Brown communities. Additionally, these background checJ<s
present significant problems in our City's effort to house our unhoused population. Decades of
enforcement on individuals sleeping outside or in their cars have led to a situation where many
unhoused individuals have accrued a criminal record because they are unhoused, and thus-even
when matched with a housing voucher-~re unable to find placements due to criminal
background checks.

In order to create a more just and equitable system for Angelenos, and to reduce the substantial
barriers to housing that exist, especially for Black and Brown communities and people
experiencing homelessness, we must follow the lead of cities like Oakland, Berkeley, and Seattle
and prohibit the use of criminal background checks when evaluating rental applications for
housing.

The ordinances in these other cities increase access to housing for those with criminal records,
while allowing for reasonable exemptions like owner-occupied units or shared living
arrangements. The City of Los Angeles should do the same.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the City Attorney, in consultation with
the Housing Department, to prepare and present, within 45 days, a Fair Chance Housing
ordinance that prohibits landlords from, at any time or by any means, whether direct or indirect,
inquiring about an applicant's criminal history, requiring an applicant to disclose criminal
history, requiring an applicant to authorize the release of criminal history or, if such information!;
is received, using or considering that criminal history information, or taking adverse action hased
 in whole or in part on an applicant's criminal history. The Fair Chance Housing ordinance
 should:

 • Be modeled on the Oakland and Berkeley Fair Charice Housing Ordinances;
 • Include exceptions similar to those in the Oakland and Berkeley Fair Chance Housing
 Ordinances, such as for owner-occupied units or shared living arrangements; and
 • Create a private right of action for prospective renters, or organizations acting on their
 behalf, with attorneys' fees, and implement penalties for violations of the ordinance to
 encourage adherence to the provisions of the Fair Chance Housing Ordinance, discourage
 discriminatory and/or arbitrary landlord screening practices, and othenvise strengthen the
 enforceability of the Fair Chance Housing Ordinance.

 I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council instruct the Housing Department and City Attorney
 to report back with a plan for education and outreach to renters and landlords in the City of LA
 on this policy, including estimated costs and resources needed to do so.

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, in 2016, the Los Angeles City Council approved a motion instructing LADWP to
partner with the US Department of Energy's (DOE) National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) to
study the technical feasibility of achieving a 100% clean energy grid, which resulted in the
LAJ 00: The Los Angeles 100% Renewable Energy Study (LAI 00 Study).

WHEREAS, The LA 100 Study found that achieving 100% clean energy by 2035 is feasible, and
on September 1, 2021, LA City Council approved a motion instructing the LADWP to prepare a
.Strategic Long Term Resource Plan that achieves an accelerated goal of 100% carbon-free
energy by 2035.

WHEREAS, LADWP and NREL have determined that in-basin generation using renewable
derived fuels, like hydrogen, is necessary to LADWP achieving its goal of 100% carbon free
energy by 2035.

WHEREAS, by 2035, LADWP estimates it will need up to 5,765 tonnes of hydrogen per year
for its four in-basin generating stations and 67,817 tonnes of hydrogen per year by 2045.

WHEREAS, on August 5, 2021, LADWP issued a Request for Information seeking information
on the planning, design, and deployment of hydrogen infraspucture, including hydrogen
transportation, to meet its clean energy future objectives.

WHEREAS, on February 17th, 2022, the Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas)
announced the Angeles Link, a proposal to build an energy transport system to deliver green
hydrogen to the Los Angeles Basin.

WHEREAS, Angeles Link proposes to deliver reliable green hydrogen to the LA Basin produced
from 10-20 gigawatts of electricity generated from renewable energy sources like solar and wind.

WHEREAS, Green hydrogen delivered by Angeles Link would be used exclusively to
decarbonize electric generation, hard-to-electrify manufacturing, and heavy-duty transportation.

WHEREAS, Angeles Link proposes to deliver enough green hydrogen to help transition
LADWP's four in-basin natural gas power plants to operate on green hydrogen.
 WHEREAS, tens of thousands of City of Los Angeles residents work and reside in communities
adjacent to Aliso Canyon and Playa del Rey underground natural gas storage facilities.

WHEREAS, in October 2015, a natural gas well at SoCalGas' Aliso Canyon Storage Facility
blew out, resulting in the largest release ofmethanein American history and the temporary
relocation of thousands of residents in its vicinity.

WHEREAS, in 2016, California passed Senate Bill 380, which directs the California Public
Utilities Commission (CPUC) to investigate the feasibility of reducing or eliminating the use of
Aliso Canyon.

WHEREAS, Angeles Link could displace up to 25 percent of the natural gas SoCalGas currently
delivers to the Los Angeles Basin with green hydrogen, which would reduce demand for natural
gas in the LA Basin and accelerate the permanent closure of underground natural gas storage
facilities like Aliso Canyon and Playa del Rey without jeopardizing grid reliability and jobs.

WHEREAS, The Los Angeles Basin is in extreme nonattainment of the 2015 national ambient
air quality standards for ozone, and the South Coast Air Quality Management District needs to
reduce NOx emissions 73% by 2037 to get into attainment.

WHEREAS, heavy duty diesel trucks are the single largest source ofNOx emissions in the LA
Basin.

WHEREAS, Angeles Link could replace up to 3 million gallons of diesel a day by transitioning
heavy duty truck fleets to run on hydrogen fuel cells.

WHEREAS, Angeles Link could eliminate up to 25,000 tons of smog-forming NOx pollution
each year and 14.3 million metric tons ofC02 annually-the equivalent of taking 3.1 million
cars off the road or eliminating 57% of LA County's large stationary source C02 emissions.

WHEREAS, in 2021, Congress passed a Bi-Partisan Infrastructure Bill, which provides $8
billion for four regional Hydrogen Hubs, overseen by the DOE as part of its Clean Energy
Demonstration Program.

WHEREAS, LA City Council has instructed LADWP and Port of LA to coordinate an effort in
partnership with other departments and local partners to create and submit a proposal to the DOE
proposing the Greater Los Angeles Metropolitan area for consideration to be a regional Green
Hydrogen Hub to power hard-to-electrify industries.

WHEREAS, a dedicated green hydrogen transmission system like Angeles Link would
complement LADWP and Port ofLA's efforts and make the Greater Los Angeles Metropolitan
area more competitive in receiving federal and private investment in green hydrogen
infrastructure.
WHEREAS, LADWP and SoCalGas are founding members of the HyDeal Los Angeles
initiative, which aims to achieve at-scale green hydrogen procurement at $1.50/kilogram in the
LA Basin by 2030.

WHEREAS, estimates show green hydrogen could generate approximately $140 billion in
revenue and support 700,000 jobs nationally by 2030.

WHEREAS, as part of its announcement, SoCalGas filed an application with the CPUC to
establish a Memorandum Account to track the incremental costs associated with stakeholder
engagement and engineering, design, and environmental work necessary to develop the Angeles
Link project proposal.

WHEREAS, stakeholders have until March 21 8\ 2022, to provide the CPUC with comments on
SoCalGas' memo account application filing.

WHEREAS, the City of Los Angeles sees value in SoCalGas researching the feasibility of
Angeles Link prior to submitting a project application for approval.
