Services for the hearing impaired, please see the information located on page 2 of this agenda.

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 30, 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.
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.

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.

 COMMITTEE REPORT relative to a request for a draft ordinance adding
 Sections 46.90.1 and 46.90.2 to the Los Angeles Municipal Code to limit
 the sale of flavored tobacco products and amending Sections 41.50, 46.90,
 46.91,46.92, 46.93, 46.97, 46.98, 46.99, 47.14, and 63.44 of the Los
 Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) to update various provisions related to
 tobacco retailing.

 Recommendation for Council action:
 REQUEST the City Attorney to draft a revised ordinance relative to adding
 Sections 46.90.1 and 46.90.2 to the Los Angeles Municipal Code to limit
 the sale of flavored tobacco products and amending Sections 41.50, 46.90,
 46.91,46.92, 46.93, 46.97, 46.98, 46.99, 47.14, and 63.44 of the LAMC
 to update various provisions related to tobacco retailing with the following
 changes:

 1. Revise 41.50(C)(a) as follows: Any business with an Outdoor Dining
 Area as defined in Section 41.50 A.3.a, shall post no-smoking signs of
 sufficient number to ensure that the no-smoking prohibition is clearly
 visible and readable to patrons in the Outdoor Dining Area and to
 persons passing outdoors within 10 feet of the Outdoor Dining Area.
 The no-smoking signs shall state in size 14 font or larger, “No Smoking
 in this Outdoor Dining Area or within 10 feet of this Outdoor Dining
 Area.”

 2. Revise 46.90(d) as follows: (d) “Flavored Tobacco Product” shall
 mean any Tobacco Product that imparts a taste or smell, other than
 the taste or smell of tobacco, that is distinguishable by an ordinary
 consumer either prior to, or during the consumption of, a Tobacco
 Product, including, but not limited to, any taste or smell relating to
 fruit, menthol, mint, wintergreen, chocolate, cocoa, vanilla, honey,
 molasses, or any candy, dessert, alcoholic beverage, herb, or spice.
 A public statement or claim made or disseminated by the Tobacco
 Retailer or manufacturer of a Tobacco Product, or by any person
 authorized or permitted by the Tobacco Retailer or manufacturer to




 Wednesday - March 30, 2022 - PAGE 21
 make or disseminate public statements concerning such Tobacco
 Product, that such Tobacco Product imparts a taste or smell other than
 tobacco shall constitute presumptive evidence that a Tobacco Product
 is a Flavored Tobacco Product.

 3. Revise 46.90(l) as follows: “Tobacco Retailer” shall mean any person
 or Proprietor who Sells, offers for Sale, or exchanges or offers to
 exchange a Tobacco Product to consumers for any form of
 consideration. Tobacco Retailing shall mean engaging in any of the
 above activities. The definitions here are without regard to the quantity
 of Tobacco Product sold, offered for Sale, exchanged, or offered for
 exchange and without regard to whether the Sale is wholesale or retail.

 4. Revise 46.97(b) as follows: The transfer or Sale of a Hookah Lounge
 in the possession of a valid Tobacco Retailer’s Permit issued prior
 to the effective date of this ordinance does not automatically transfer
 the Tobacco Retailer’s Permit associated with the Hookah Lounge.
 However, the transferee or prospective purchaser may apply for a new
 Tobacco Retailer’s Permit and, if approved, will be deemed to first
 have been issued the Tobacco Retailer’s Permit for purposes of
 Section 46.90.1(c) prior to the effective date of this section.

 5. Remove presumption in section 46.90.1(b) which can be interpreted
 as making possession of flavored tobacco a crime. The focus of the
 enforcement is on tobacco retailers (brick and mortar stores).
 Therefore, I propose we replace 46.90.1(a) with the following
 language: (a) Pursuant to Section 46.91, tobacco products may only
 be sold at a location which has been issued a City Tobacco Retailer’s
 Permit. It shall be unlawful to Sell or offer for Sale, or possess with the
 intent to Sell, any Flavored Tobacco Product at a permitted tobacco
 retailing location.

 6. Revise 46.90(k)(1) in light of the rise of synthetic tobacco and synthetic
 nicotine products that would otherwise be left unregulated, as follows:
 Any product or products containing, made of, or derived from tobacco
 or nicotine whether natural or synthetic that is intended for human
 consumption or is likely to be consumed, whether inhaled, absorbed,
 or ingested by any means, including, but not limited to, a cigarette, a
 cigar, or a pipe and also includes chewing tobacco, snuff, or snus.

 7. Add 46.90(k)(4): Any substance intended for smoking in a hookah pipe
 and marketed or labeled as a synthetic or non-tobacco Shisha Product
 whether or not the product contains nicotine.




Wednesday - March 30, 2022 - PAGE 22
 8. Remove section 46.90.2 (d)

 9. Remove section 46.90.2 (f)

 10. Remove section 46.90.2 (g)

 11. Replace 46.90.2(h) with the following: Any Hookah Lounge that
 permits indoor smoking must have a stand-alone ventilation system
 that is not shared with any other business or any other portion of the
 building in which the Hookah Lounge is located.

 12. The operative date of the ordinance shall be January 1, 2023. Hookah
 Lounges in existence as of the effective date of this ordinance shall
 be considered grandfathered in.

 ARTS, PARKS, HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND NEIGHBORHOODS
 COMMITTEE REPORT relative to a request for a draft ordinance adding
 Sections 46.90.1 and 46.90.2 to the Los Angeles Municipal Code to limit
 the sale of flavored tobacco products and amending Sections 41.50, 46.90,
 46.91,46.92, 46.93, 46.97, 46.98, 46.99, 47.14, and 63.44 of the Los
 Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) to update various provisions related to
 tobacco retailing.

 Recommendation for Council action:
 REQUEST the City Attorney to draft a revised ordinance relative to adding
 Sections 46.90.1 and 46.90.2 to the Los Angeles Municipal Code to limit
 the sale of flavored tobacco products and amending Sections 41.50, 46.90,
 46.91,46.92, 46.93, 46.97, 46.98, 46.99, 47.14, and 63.44 of the LAMC
 to update various provisions related to tobacco retailing with the following
 changes:

 1. Revise 41.50(C)(a) as follows: Any business with an Outdoor Dining
 Area as defined in Section 41.50 A.3.a, shall post no-smoking signs of
 sufficient number to ensure that the no-smoking prohibition is clearly
 visible and readable to patrons in the Outdoor Dining Area and to
 persons passing outdoors within 10 feet of the Outdoor Dining Area.
 The no-smoking signs shall state in size 14 font or larger, “No Smoking
 in this Outdoor Dining Area or within 10 feet of this Outdoor Dining
 Area.”




 Wednesday - March 30, 2022 - PAGE 17
 2. Revise 46.90(d) as follows: (d) “Flavored Tobacco Product” shall
 mean any Tobacco Product that imparts a taste or smell, other than
 the taste or smell of tobacco, that is distinguishable by an ordinary
 consumer either prior to, or during the consumption of, a Tobacco
 Product, including, but not limited to, any taste or smell relating to
 fruit, menthol, mint, wintergreen, chocolate, cocoa, vanilla, honey,
 molasses, or any candy, dessert, alcoholic beverage, herb, or spice.
 A public statement or claim made or disseminated by the Tobacco
 Retailer or manufacturer of a Tobacco Product, or by any person
 authorized or permitted by the Tobacco Retailer or manufacturer to
 make or disseminate public statements concerning such Tobacco
 Product, that such Tobacco Product imparts a taste or smell other than
 tobacco shall constitute presumptive evidence that a Tobacco Product
 is a Flavored Tobacco Product.

 3. Revise 46.90(l) as follows: “Tobacco Retailer” shall mean any person
 or Proprietor who Sells, offers for Sale, or exchanges or offers to
 exchange a Tobacco Product to consumers for any form of
 consideration. Tobacco Retailing shall mean engaging in any of the
 above activities. The definitions here are without regard to the quantity
 of Tobacco Product sold, offered for Sale, exchanged, or offered for
 exchange and without regard to whether the Sale is wholesale or retail.

 4. Revise 46.97(b) as follows: The transfer or Sale of a Hookah Lounge
 in the possession of a valid Tobacco Retailer’s Permit issued prior
 to the effective date of this ordinance does not automatically transfer
 the Tobacco Retailer’s Permit associated with the Hookah Lounge.
 However, the transferee or prospective purchaser may apply for a new
 Tobacco Retailer’s Permit and, if approved, will be deemed to first
 have been issued the Tobacco Retailer’s Permit for purposes of
 Section 46.90.1(c) prior to the effective date of this section.

 5. Remove presumption in section 46.90.1(b) which can be interpreted
 as making possession of flavored tobacco a crime. The focus of the
 enforcement is on tobacco retailers (brick and mortar stores).
 Therefore, I propose we replace 46.90.1(a) with the following
 language: (a) Pursuant to Section 46.91, tobacco products may only
 be sold at a location which has been issued a City Tobacco Retailer’s
 Permit. It shall be unlawful to Sell or offer for Sale, or possess with the
 intent to Sell, any Flavored Tobacco Product at a permitted tobacco
 retailing location.




Wednesday - March 30, 2022 - PAGE 18
 6. Revise 46.90(k)(1) in light of the rise of synthetic tobacco and synthetic
 nicotine products that would otherwise be left unregulated, as follows:
 Any product or products containing, made of, or derived from tobacco
 or nicotine whether natural or synthetic that is intended for human
 consumption or is likely to be consumed, whether inhaled, absorbed,
 or ingested by any means, including, but not limited to, a cigarette, a
 cigar, or a pipe and also includes chewing tobacco, snuff, or snus.

 7. Add 46.90(k)(4): Any substance intended for smoking in a hookah pipe
 and marketed or labeled as a synthetic or non-tobacco Shisha Product
 whether or not the product contains nicotine.

 8. Remove section 46.90.2 (d)

 9. Remove section 46.90.2 (f)

 10. Remove section 46.90.2 (g)

 11. Replace 46.90.2(h) with the following: Any Hookah Lounge that
 permits indoor smoking must have a stand-alone ventilation system
 that is not shared with any other business or any other portion of the
 building in which the Hookah Lounge is located.

 12. The operative date of the ordinance shall be January 1, 2023. Hookah
 Lounges in existence as of the effective date of this ordinance shall
 be considered grandfathered in.

 BEVERAGE PROGRAM (RBP - GENERAL).
 l ··l..r
 EXHIBIT B


1. The Restaurant Beverage Program (RBP) will provide a public necessity within the
 areas mapped in Exhibit A by removing financial barriers for sit-down restaurants
 and promoting economic development, in light of the financial impacts associated
 with the COVID-19 pandemic.

 The restaurant and hospitality industry is an important part of the City's economy,
 employing more than 380,000 people and generating more than $200 million in tax
 revenue to the City during pre-pandemic levels. The proposed Ordinance will preserve
 and strengthen a viable sector of the City's economy by creating the RBP, which will
 reduce the costs and time for sit-down restaurants in the mapped areas to obtain City
 approval to serve alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption, while subjecting them to
 more than 50 provisions. Alcohol service provides a substation portion of restaurants'
 revenue and often make or break their viability as a business, however, restaurants with
 alcohol sales must meet both state and local regulations for serving alcohol. The RBP
 will offer an administrative clearance process to allow the sale of alcohol in sit-down
 restaurants with an operating kitchen and a full menu. In addition, new restaurants with
 alcohol service under the RBP will be subject to enforcement measures and security
 standards. This in-turn will provide long-term financial incentives as it will bolster the
 opening of new restaurants, enable the hiring of new employees, and create more
 vibrant neighborhoods.

 The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent stay-at-home and indoor restrictions have
 presented unprecedented financial challenges to sit-down restaurants throughout the
 City, namely those located within the mapped areas. A simpler, more predictable, less
 costly process to serve alcoholic beverages would ease some of the burdens placed on
 impacted restaurants, giving them a boost and reducing the time needed for them to
 re-open and start hiring people. As such, the RBP will create a service that is beneficial
 to the community, City, and region mapped by reducing the amount of entry barriers for
 new local restaurants.

2. The RBP will provide a public convenience within the areas mapped in Exhibit A
 by accommodating the demand for an amenity that will serve residents, workers,
 employees, and visitors.

 A variety of uses, including sit-down restaurants, are necessary for the conservation,
 development, and success of a vibrant neighborhood. The proposed RBP reflects a shift
 in how the City will process alcohol requests for eligible sit-down restaurants. As such,
 the RBP will provide local sit-down restaurants with a boost, which will allow them to
 open quicker, expand, hire employees, and become an economically viable business. By
 creating a consistent and streamlined review of alcohol requests, the RBP will create
 more vibrant neighborhoods that will benefit employees, local residents, and visitors
 leading to the growth of regulated sit-down restaurants within the mapped areas, which
 are planned and zoned for commercial uses such as restaurants.

 On-site alcohol service incidental to food service is an amenity that is often expected in
 bona fide sit-down restaurants. The local community, employees, patrons of adjacent
 commercial uses, and the residents in the neighborhood will be able to utilize the
 benefits of having on-site sit-down restaurants and alcohol service nearby. Furthermore,
 the RBP incorporates more than 50 operating standards to ensure that the alcohol
 service will not be disruptive to the community.

3. The RBP contains more than 50 provisions to ensure that it will not adversely
 affect the welfare of the areas mapped in Exhibit A.

 The RBP's provisions are intended to protect the public health, welfare, and safety of the
 communities within the mapped areas. The City is establishing operational and enforcing
 policies via the RBP to regulate alcohol service in eligible sit-down restaurants.
 Therefore, alcohol service under the RBP must be incidental to food service on-site
 consumption. This means that high-impact uses such as bars, nightclubs, and liquor
 stores will not be eligible under the RBP and must obtain a Conditional Use Permit
 (CUP). Eligible restaurants will not be allowed to have dancing, live entertainment, pool
 tables, and portable bars. Bar-like practices, such as minimum drink purchase,
 admission charges, and age limitations, will also be prohibited.

 Operating standards will ensure that impacts to the community, such as noise, will be
 kept at a minimum. The RBP will prohibit the use of television monitors and speakers in
 outdoor areas. Restaurants will also be required to remove graffiti, clean debris and litter,
 maintain an electronic age verification device, and respond to patron complaints in a
 timely manner. As a means of establishing additional safety policies, the RBP contains
 interior and exterior lighting requirements and will require restaurants to install and
 maintain a camera surveillance system in operation at all times. In addition, all
 employees involved with the sale of alcohol will be subject to regulatory safety practices
 such as enrolling in an alcohol safety training program offered by the Los Angeles Police
 Department and/or the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
 Restaurants that repeatedly violate the RBP's provisions will be suspended from the
 Program and be required to obtain a CUP to continue to sell alcohoi.

 Lastly, the RBP or proposed Ordinance does not ~uthorize any new construction, nor
 result in construction activities that would change the size, height, or other significant
 features of existing buildings and therefore not degrade adjacent properties, the
 surrounding neighborhood, or the public health, welfare, and safety of the public at large.
 Therefore, the RBP, the proposed Ordinance, operations, and other significant features
 will be compatible with and not adversely affect or degrade adjacent properties, the
 surrounding neighborhood, or the public health, welfare, and safety of the mapped
 areas.
. .'


 4. The RBP will follow good zoning practices by encouraging economic development
 in the areas mapped while limiting the impact of commercial activity on residential
 areas and other sensitive uses through strict provisions.

 The mapped areas are well suited for sit-down restaurants that offer alcohol service,
 which are planned and zoned for commercial uses such as restaurants. This will
 promote livability and convenience for residents and employees, promote a variety of
 uses, and strengthen the employment and amenity base of the mapped areas. As such,
 the RBP substantially conforms to the purpose, intent, and provisions of the General
 Plan, the applicable community plan, and any specific plan.

 At the same time, the RBP serves the purpose of imposing provisions aimed at limiting
 impacts to surrounding neighbors, including residential areas and other sensitive uses.
 The RBP will only be applicable in specific commercial and manufacturing zones where
 alcohol service is currently allowed through a CUP. In addition, the RBP includes
 numerous operational restrictions related to indoor and outdoor seating, allowed
 activities, and bar-like practices to limit noise and other impacts. Additional provisions
 concerning operations, security, monitoring, and enforcement are included. Any changes
 to the mode of operations of the restaurant, including hours of operation and seating, will
 not be permitted. Therefore, the RBP will follow good zoning practices by encouraging
 economic development while limiting the impact of commercial activity on nearby
 residential areas and other sensitive uses through strict and enforcing provisions.

 On July 1, 2003, 15-year-old Desiree Haro was walking in an alley with friends near 12000 West 253rd Street when an
unknown person fired several shots at the group, striking Desiree Haro. The Los Angeles Fire Department responded and
transported Desiree to a hospital where she was pronounced dead.

 The person or persons responsible for this crime represent an ongoing threat to the safety of the people of Los Angeles;
therefore, it is appropriate for the City of Los Angeles to offer a reward for information leading to the identification,
apprehension and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the death of Desiree Haro.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that by adoption of this Motion, the City Council provide an offer of reward for information
leading to the identification, apprehension, and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the death of Desiree Haro
on July 1, 2003, and in support thereof, make the following findings pursuant to Division 19, Chapter 12, Article 1 of the Los
Angeles Administrative Code:

1. That the death of Ms. Haro was caused by the willful misconduct of one or more persons.

2. That this offer of reward is consistent with and taken for the immediate protection of the public peace, health, and
 safety of local residents, as well as visitors to the City, and is consistent with the need to arrest and convict the person
 who, because of not being apprehended, could by their actions further terrorize and present a continuing and immediate
 menace to the rights of persons in the City.

3. That what happened to the victim is an especially disturbing crime and therefore, as a matter of public policy, the City
 hereby offers a reward as an added inducement for persons to come forward with information leading to the
 identification, apprehension and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the death of Desiree Haro.

4. That the sum of $50,000 shall be the aggregate maximum sum of any payment or payments of a City reward in this
 instance.

5. That the offer of reward shall be in effect for six months from the date of the advertisement of the reward by the City
 Clerk.

 I FURTHER MOVE that the City Clerk be directed to cause notices and/or advertisements to be duly published
according to the requirements of Division 19, Chapter 12, Article 1 of the Los Angeles Administrative Code, and to thereby
cause the offer of reward to become effective.

 TRANSPORTATION

 The City of Los Angeles has long experienced some of the highest rates of death and serious
injury from traffic collisions among peer cities. Traffic collisions are one of the leading causes of death
and severe injury among children and the elderly, and speeding is one of the most common causes of
those collisions.

 On August 24, 2015, Mayor Eric Garcetti issued Executive Directive No. 10, launching the
citywide Vision Zero Initiative in an effort to counter these trends. Co-led by the Los Angeles Department
of Transportation (LADOT) and Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), the Executive Directive calls
for an all-of-government response to traffic violence, with the goal ofreducing traffic deaths by 20
percent by 2017 and eliminating traffic deaths citywide by 2025. The City Council adopted the Vision
Zero goal and has directed funding toward several significant programs, including: signal and crosswalk
upgrades at priority intersections, corridor safety projects along High Injury Network streets, overtime for
LAPD Traffic Divisions, and Public Works upgrades like enhanced lighting and pedestrian refuge islands.
Many of these programs were specifically intended to prioritize the prevention of pedestrian collisions
involving older adults and children.

 However, since the launch of the Vision Zero Initiative, fatal and severe injury traffic collisions
have increased, and it does not appear that we are on track to achieve the goal of eliminating traffic deaths
by 2025. According to a recent Los Angeles Times report, LAPD data indicates 289 people were killed in
traffic collisions in 2021, a 21 percent increase over the same period in 2020, and 19 percent more than
the same period in 2019. The data also shows that 1,465 people were severely injured, a 30 percent
increase over the same period in 2020.

 The City has not commissioned an independent review of the Vision Zero Initiative to evaluate its
effectiveness and identify areas for improvement. Such a review should identify barriers to
implementation of Vision Zero projects and programs - such as funding and staff resources,
interdepartmental coordination, and political support - and recommendations to overcome them.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Controller be requested to conduct an audit of the City's
Vision Zero Initiative, to serve as guidance in the City's continued efforts to reduce, and eventually
eliminate, deaths and serious injuries from traffic collisions.

 I FURTHER MOVE that the Department of Transportation, Bureau of Engineering, Bureau of
Street Services, Bureau of Street Lighting, Los Angeles Police Department, Bureau of Contract
Administration, Department of Water and Power, and any other relevant departments, bureaus or agencies
be instructed/requested to report with a status update on the implementation of the immediate and long-
term actions ordered in Executive Directive No. 10, as well as an assessment of the nature of the traffic
related fatalities and serious injuries that continue to occur, recommendations aimed at preventing future
fatalities and serious injuries, and achieving the stated time line and goals of the Vision Zero Initiative.

 The legacy and impact of the legendary Barbara Morrison presents several life lessons on
  the essence ofresilience, namely the capacity to persist and to pursue vision in the face of hardship
  and adversity. She not only inspired many internationally through her music, but she also dedicated
  her life to uplifting the communities of Leimert Park and Greater Los Angeles.

 Born in a suburb of Detroit in 1949, the three-time Grammy-nominated performer and
  record producer spent her entire life singing. In the early 1970s at the age of 21, Morrison moved
  to Los Angeles and went on to perform alongside such legendary musicians as Dizzy Gillespie,
  the Count Basie Orchestra, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Tony Bennett, Etta James, Nancy Wilson
  and Dr. John.

 During her six-decade career, she released several solo albums, including "I Know How to
  Do It" (1996) and "Visit Me" (1999). She also performed at famed jazz festivals including Central
  Avenue, Leimert, Montreux, Monterey, and Long Beach and sang at Carnegie Hall.

 Beyond performing, Morrison dedicated her life to elevating the Los Angeles music
  community and fostering up-and-coming talent. In 2009, she opened the Barbara Morrison
  Performing Arts Center in Leimert Park at the intersection of 43rd Street and Degnan Boulevard,
  and two years later, she founded the California Jazz & Blues Museum in the same area.

 In recognition of Barbara Morrison's legacy and lasting imprint on the Leimert Park
  community and in tribute to her status as a musical icon, it is appropriate that the City name the
  intersection of 43rd Street and Degnan Boulevard, adjacent to the Barbara Morrison Performing
  Arts Center, as "Barbara Morrison Square."

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the intersection at 43rd Street and Degnan Boulevard be
  named as "Barbara Morrison Square" and that the Department of Transportation be directed to
  erect permanent ceremonial sign(s) to this effect at this location.

 HOUSING
 MOTION

 The Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA) and various City departments are
currently engaged in the Jordan Downs public housing redevelopment which will double the density of
the community from roughly 700 units to nearly 1,500. To prevent displacement and disruption to the
lives of current residents, HACLA is utilizing a Build First Model which will allow current Jordan Downs
residents to move from an old unit to a new unit within the development or use their voucher at a
different property in HACLA's portfolio.

 While this is a laudable and well-considered approach, similar considerations and protections
should be established for Watts residents adjacent to Jordan Downs and throughout the community.
Currently, Watts residents, including some who tirelessly advocated for the Jordan Downs
redevelopment and other investments for Watts, must apply for units via a lottery system and compete
with residents throughout the City to access the redeveloped Jordan Downs homes.

 The recently opened New Harvest building at Jordan Downs, for example, offered 48
non-replacement housing unit opportunities. Due to the lottery, only 16% of units were ultimately
occupied by Watts residents. And while Jordan Downs' rents are stabilized due to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development's public housing income guidelines, properties on the
open market have fewer safeguards, especially if they do not fall under the Rent Stabilization
Ordinance (RSO).

 According to the University of California, Berkeley's Urban Displacement Project and similar
research, communities like Watts are highly susceptible to gentrification and displacement. Preventing
gentrification and displacement requires the implementation of a wide range of proactive and
protective measures, such as geographic preference policies. The City of San Francisco is one
example of a municipality that adopted a Neighborhood Housing Preference to lessen the
displacement of vulnerable residents.

 It is fitting that, in light of these circumstances, the City should move forward with the adoption
of a Watts-based Geographic Preference Policy for the Jordan Downs redevelopment effort.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles be REQUESTED
to adopt a policy similar to San Francisco's Neighborhood Resident Housing Preference for the Watts
community as defined by the boundaries of the Watts Neighborhood Council.

 INFORMATION, TECHNOLOGY AND GENERAL SERVICfa
 MOTION

 Major disruptions across the nation's supply chain have resulted in unfair and
unacceptable impacts to the quality of life of residents who live in the communities surrounding
the Port of Los Angeles, including traffic, noise, diesel exhaust fumes, and dust. One of the
biggest offenses is the infiltration of idling diesel trucks and buses into residential communities
and along commercial corridors, which create toxic air pollution, increase respiratory health
problems, add to traffic congestion, are unsightly, emit noxious odors, and contribute to global
warming.

 State law prohibits vehicles that weigh more than 10,000 pounds from idling for more
than five minutes. As of just last year and as a result of CF#19-0454, the Los Angeles
Department of Transportation (LADOT) established a process by which it has the authority to
post "No Trucks/Bus Idling Signs" in coordination with California Air Resources Board (GARB).
This recent change allows the City more local control to both post and enforce "No Trucks/Bus
Idling" signs.

 While local control is an important step, many drivers disregard the "No Truck/Bus Idling"
signs and leave their engines idling for lengthy periods of time. One of the reasons drivers
continue to illegally idle their vehicles is because it can be difficult for enforcement agencies to
catch a driver in the act. As Port adjacent communities continue to bear the burden of the supply
chain backlog, finding a quick and impactful solution is vital.

 New York City's Citizens Air Complaint Program, in place since 2018, allows residents to
report illegally idling commercial vehicles. Those who report infractions by submitting a video
can collect 25 percent of the fine collected by New York City. This has been considered a
successful program, drastically increasing the number of citations issued for idling commercial
vehicles, simply by leveraging the eyes and ears of members of the community.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Administrative Officer, with the assistance of the Los
Angeles Department of Transportation, Los Angeles Police Department, Information Technology
Agency, and any other departments, as needed, be DIRECTED to report on the feasibility of
creating a community-reporting system for idling commercial vehicles, integrated into 311 or a
similar online tool, similar to New York City's Citizens Air Complaint Program.
