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 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 [email protected].

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.

	Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR: PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying RESOLUTION which authorizes the issuance of the City of Los Angeles Community Facilities District No. 8 (Legends at Cascades) Special Tax Refunding Bonds, Series 2022, and approve the execution and delivery of various bond documents, including a First Supplemental Indenture, Escrow Agreement, and other matters related thereto. AUTHORIZE the City Administrative Officer (CAO) to make technical changes and adjustments as necessary to those transactions in this report and to implement the intent of the Mayor and the City Council. Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that there is no impact on the General Fund as a result of the recommendations contained in this report. The bonds are payable solely from Mello-Roos Special Tax Revenues collected from parcels within the District. All costs associated with this transaction will be paid by bond proceeds or existing special tax revenues, and in no event shall the General Fund be called upon for repayment of any principal or interest on these bonds. Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that consistent with the City’s Financial Policies, all consultant and City costs associated with the issuance of bonds are paid by the District through the levy and collection of special taxes for this purpose. Additionally, consistent with the City’s Mello-Roos and Assessment Financing Policies, the District and Mello-Roos Bonds exceed the City’s value-to-lien requirement, will not exceed the City’s maximum tax burden threshold of two percent of assessed value on property annually, comply with the minimum debt service coverage ratio, provide funding for a reserve fund, and the bonds will amortize in no more than 25 years. Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that there is no debt impact to the City’s General Fund from the approval of the recommendations in this report. The average annual debt service for the bonds is $365,000, over 18 years, until September 1, 2040. The total estimated deby service, including principal and interest, over the life of the bonds is $6.786 million. The estimated present value savings from the refunding is $1.8 million. The bonds are payable solely from Mello-Roos Special Tax Revenues collected from parcels within the District. A default in the repayment of Mello-Roos bonds would not adversely affect the City’s general credit rating because Mello-Roos bonds are not payable from the General Fund. Community Impact Statement: None submitted

21-1028-S1
	BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the 2021-22 Second Construction Projects Report (CPR).

	Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR: APPROVE the recommendations of the City Administrative Officer (CAO) as detailed in the Second CPR for Fiscal Year 2021-22, dated November 22, 2021, attached to the Council file, as amended to incorporate the additions detailed below: AUTHORIZE the Controller to transfer $79,468.23 from MICLA Parcel Tax Bond Fund No. 492/10/10S942 to MICLA Parcel Tax Bond Fund No. 492/32/TBD, for the Los Angeles Fire Department Voice Radio System Upgrade project. AUTHORIZE the Controller to transfer and appropriate $273,714.25 from the available cash balance within Fund No. 56Q/14, Village at Westfield Topanga Public Benefits Trust Fund to the Ventura/Cahuenga Specific Plan Trust Fund No. 523/94, Account No. 94TM14, Reimagine Ventura Boulevard to fund the remaining cost of the street improvement work. Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the transfers, appropriations, and expenditure authority totaling $11.66 million are recommended in this report. Of this amount, $4.81 million is for transfers, appropriations, and expenditure authority for the Bureau of Street Services, $2.59 million for the Department of General Services, and $4.26 million is for other City funds. All transfers and appropriations are based on existing funds, reimbursements, or revenues. There is no immediate General Fund impact for operations and maintenance costs as a result of these recommendations (Attachment No. 4), attached to the CAO report in the Council file. Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the actions recommended in the report comply with the City’s Financial Policies. Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of Municipal Improvement Corporation of Los Angeles (MICLA) Bonds is a General Fund obligation. The acquisition of capital equipment for the Bureau of Street Lighting (BSL) Fleet Replacement and Electric Vehicle Charging Stations would cause the City to borrow $5,302,582 at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over 10 years. The total estimated debt service for the acquisition of BSL capital equipment is $7,035,000, including interest of $1,732,000. During the life of the bonds, the estimated average annual debt service over 10 years is $703,500. Actual interest rates may differ as rates are dependent on market conditions at the time of issuance. We cannot fully predict what interest rates will be in the future. In accordance with the City's Debt Management Policy, the City has an established debt ceiling to guide in evaluating the affordability for future debt. The debt ceiling for non-voted direct debt as a percentage of General Fund revenues is 6.0 percent. The City is currently at 3.35 percent for 2021-22. The issuance of debt for these projects will not impact the City's debt capacity for non-voter approved debt as the issuance of debt for the projects is already included in the debt ratio. Community Impact Statement: None submitted
