For Telecommunication Relay 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 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.

ENERGY, CLIMATE CHANGE, ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, AND RIVER COMMITTEE REPORT relative to a strategic long-term City-wide Electric Vehicle (EV) Master Plan that includes provisions to maximize federal and state funding for the equitable placement of Electric Vehicle infrastructure City-wide.
   
 
Recommendations for Council action, as initiated by Motion (Krekorian – O’Farrell – Price), SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR:
 
  1. DIRECT the Department of General Services (GSD) to amend the GSD Electric Vehicle Charger Infrastructure  Plan (“GSD EV Plan”, Council file No. 14-0079-S2) to include electrification of the fleet, including light and heavy duty vehicles.  GSD purchases the 6000 vehicles used by the fleets it maintains.  GSD will work with departments under its jurisdiction to evaluate and determine their electric vehicle needs using existing and emerging technologies.  The plan will prioritize the four largest fleets maintained by GSD as follows:  Bureau of Street Services, Department of Recreation and Parks, Department of Transportation, and Bureau of Sanitation.  This Plan shall connect to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) EV Master Plan.
     
  2. DIRECT GSD, in coordination with the Bureau of Engineering (BOE) and LADWP, to assess the potential prioritization and installation of fleet, public, and employee EV chargers at over 600 GSD-maintained buildings and yards.  The GSD EV Plan should address current demand and future charging needs to support the electrification of the City’s fleet as well as increased use of EV’s by the public and employees.  The plan should also include evaluating the need for Level 2 or Level 3 (fast) chargers, and best practices from both the public and private sector on maximizing shared use such as establishing fleet charging hubs and implementing valet-type services. This information will also serve as a source of “shovel-ready” projects for State and Federal grants, or other opportunities.  It will also help in estimating future capital project funding needs for City budgeting purposes.
     
  3. INSTRUCT GSD, Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), and Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) to collaborate with BOE on the installation of EV chargers whenever feasible at buildings identified for solar and other projects under the Building Decarbonization Workplan authorized in November 2021 and currently in progress (Council file No. 21-1039), to ensure there is no duplication of effort, and information gathered in both plans are maximized.
     
  4. INSTRUCT GSD, LAFD, LAPD, Los Angeles Airport (LAWA), and Port of Los Angeles (POLA) to provide information from the GSD EV Plan (and respective departments’ EV Plans) to help inform the LA100/Strategic Long Term Resource Plan (Council file No. 21-0352) in projecting future demand from the City’s power grid resulting from potentially hundreds of EV chargers to be installed at City facilities in the coming years.  GSD, LAFD, LAPD, LAWA and POLA should also provide information to LADWP for the development of the EV Masterplan (Council file No. 21-0890).
     
  5. DIRECT LAPD and LAFD, with the collaboration of GSD, BOE and LADWP, to identify light and heavy duty electric vehicle and charger infrastructure needs within their respective departments to electrify LAPD and LAFD vehicles.  This information will be shared with LADWP for the development of the EV Masterplan (Council file No. 21-0890).
     
  6. DIRECT POLA, LAWA, and LADWP  to identify light and heavy duty electric vehicle and charger infrastructure needs within their respective departments to electrify their respective department fleets.  This information will be used for the development of the LADWP EV Masterplan (Council file No. 21-0890).
     
  7. INSTRUCT the Controller to transfer $500,000 from the Unappropriated Balance Fund No. 100/58, Account No. 580370, Renewable Energy to General Services, Fund No. 100/40, Account No. 3040, for consultant costs required to amend the “GSD EV Plan,” as described above.

  9. RESOLVE that the following positions to implement the recommendations above to expand and accelerate the GSD EV Plan within General Services Department are authorized and approved.  They will be subject to paygrade determination by the City Administrative Officer (CAO), Employee Relations Division.  These resources were also requested in a report to Council in October 2021 (Council file No. 21-1249):
