For Telecommunication Relay Services for the hearing impaired, please see the information below.
 
Telecommunication Relay Services
Telephone communication is one of the most important forms of communication in society today. Due to advancements in technology, telephone devices have evolved with new services and capabilities. Individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing, and individuals with a speech disability are following these trends and are rapidly migrating to more advanced telecommunications methods, both for 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].
 
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.

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.

PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE REPORT relative to a proposed Agreement between the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) and Motorola Solutions, Inc., to upgrade the LAFD’s voice radio system.
   
 

Recommendation for Council action:

AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, LAFD, or designee, to:
 

  1. Execute an Agreement between the LAFD and Motorola Solutions, Inc., for the upgrade of the Department’s voice radio system, for a term of three years, with an amount not to exceed $17,953,555.68.
     
  2. Execute up to five one-year extensions for a total amount not to exceed $11,246,822, subject to available funding and the contractor’s providing satisfactory services under the Agreement

   
 

Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Administrative Officer (CAO) reports that the approval of the recommendation stated in this report will authorize the LAFD to enter into an Agreement with Motorola Solutions, Inc. to upgrade the Department’s voice radio system. Of the total project cost of approximately $17.9 million, $10.4 million in Municipal Improvement Corporation of Los Angeles (MICLA) funding has been previously approved for eligible capital costs. The remaining $7.5 million required for completion of the project will be requested through the 2023-24 budget process. Funding from the General Fund may be required for any ineligible costs. Funding for the five one-year extensions for maintenance services ($11.2 million total) will be requested by the LAFD in subsequent years. Approval of the Agreement extensions is subject to available funding.

   
 

Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the action in this report is consistent with the City’s Financial Policies in that the proposed services will be funded within budgeted funds.

   
 

Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of MICLA debt is a General Fund obligation. The issuance of MICLA for the LAFD Voice Radio System Upgrade project would cause the City to borrow $10,400,000 at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over 10 years. The total estimated debt service for this project is $13,800,000, including interest of approximately $3,400,000. During the life of the bonds, the estimated average annual debt service is $1,380,000 over 10 years. 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 2022-23 Adopted Budget non voter-approved debt ratio is 2.97 percent. The issuance of debt for this project will not cause the City to exceed the six percent non voter-approved debt limit.

Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR:
 

  1. APPROVE Recommendation Nos. 1, 2, 4, 5 and 8, contained in the City Administrative Officer (CAO) report dated August 23, 2022, attached to the MFC report dated September 19, 2022 in the Council file, as follows:
     
    1. Approve the use of approximately 33,770 square feet of the northern portion of the BOS yard located at 850 North Mission Road, from its current use for yard operations (odor control unit and storage bins), to provide space for the development of a THV to provide shelter and services to people experiencing homelessness for up to five years.
       
    2. Approve the use of approximately 34,882 square feet of the BOS yard located at 2212 Jesse Street (Mission and Jesse), to relocate the current bins and operations at 850 North Mission Road.
       
    3. Approve the execution of a lease of up to five years between the BOS and the GSD for 850 North Mission Road in CD 14, to be funded by the Homelessness Efforts - County Funding Agreement Fund, for an estimated annual cost of $194,400, with the final annual costs and terms of the lease to be finalized based on a Class A appraisal, and subject to Council approval.
       
    4. Approve up to $194,400 from Homelessness Efforts - County Funding Agreement Fund No. 63Q/10, Account No.10T618 to Fund No. 63Q/10, in a new account entitled “CD 14 - 850 Mission THV Leasing” for the leasing costs of the interim housing site located at 850 North Mission Road, with 144 beds in CD 14, through June 30, 2023. 
       
    5. Authorize the CAO to make technical corrections, as necessary, to the transactions authorized through said CAO report, as required to implement the intent of those transactions.
       
  2. DIRECT City staff to provide a subsequent report relative to the Recommendations in said CAO report that were not approved.

   
 

Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that there is no anticipated General Fund impact to address the annual leasing costs associated with the Mission and Jesse site, currently estimated at $188,363 annually, with the final leasing costs to be based on a Class A appraisal. Leasing costs for the Mission and Jesse site will be paid through the Additional Homeless Services - General City Purpose (AHS-GCP) fund. However, there may be a General Fund impact for Fiscal Year 2023-24 if AHS-GCP funds are not approved through the budget process. The Municipal Improvement Corporation of Los Angeles (MICLA) impact for the improvements on the Mission and Jesse site are noted above. There is no additional General Fund impact associated with the annual lease payment for 850 North Mission Road, currently estimated at $194,400, as these costs will be funded using the Homeless funds provided through the County under the Roadmap agreement. It is anticipated that County Homeless funds will continue to fund this lease in Fiscal Year 2023-24. Attachment 1 of the CAO report dated August 23, 2022, attached to the MFC report dated September 19, 2022, provides a comprehensive breakdown of the funding sources that will be utilized for the capital and leasing costs of both 850 North Mission Road and the Mission and Jesse site.

   
 

Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of MICLA debt is a General Fund obligation. The issuance of MICLA for the capital improvements to the Mission and Jesse Sanitation Yard would cause the City to borrow $3,000,000 at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over 20 years. The total estimated debt service for this project is $5,020,000, including interest of approximately $2,020,000. During the life of the bonds, the estimated average annual debt service is $251,000 over 20 years. Actual interest rates may differ as rates are dependent on market conditions at the time of issuance. The CAO 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 2022-23 Adopted Budget non voter-approved debt ratio is 2.97 percent. The issuance of debt for this project will not cause the City to exceed the six percent non voter-approved debt limit.
