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.gov 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.

TRADE, TRAVEL AND TOURISM and BUDGET, FINANCE AND INNOVATION COMMITTEES’ REPORT relative to the Los Angeles Convention Center Expansion Project (Expansion Project).
   
 

Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR:
 
  1. ACCEPT the City Administrative Officer (CAO) findings pursuant to Charter Section 371 and 372, that it is desirable, practical, and compatible with the City’s interests to engage with AEG Plenary Conventions Los Angeles, LLC (APCLA) in exclusive negotiations related to the LACC Expansion Project, without a competitive process.

  16. INSTRUCT the CAO and CLA to include in their negotiations any incentives or remedies needed to ensure timely completion of all deadlines and deliverables.

   
 

Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO and CLA reports that there is no General Fund impact in 2023-24 as a result of the recommendations proposed in this report. Costs associated with the Proposed Term Sheet and EWA are expected to be incurred in Fiscal Year 2024-25 and be paid from the Municipal Improvement Corporation of Los Angeles (MICLA) Commercial Paper Program (Los Angeles Convention Center). The General Fund impact in 2024-25 has already been accounted for as an appropriation of $2 million in the 2024-25 Adopted Budget, Capital Finance Administration Fund, Los Angeles Convention Center (LACC) Commercial Paper Account, for costs associated with administering this commercial paper program, including interest costs. The future repayment of these costs will be financed through MICLA and will require an appropriation from the General Fund or some other funding source. The additional City costs for the duration of the EWA are estimated to be $11.5 million consisting of $9.5 million in consultant costs and $2 million in Bureau of Engineering Staff costs. The full City costs and General Fund impact will depend on the timing and sizing of the debt issued to finance the Expansion Project which will be fully evaluated and reported to Council and the Mayor at a later date, concurrent with final recommendations concerning the Project Agreement. The fiscal impact of the Expansion Project construction is contemplated to be $1.4 billion, excluding City staff and support costs.

   
 

Debt Impact Statement: The CAO and CLA reports that the  issuance of MICLA debt is a General Fund obligation. The issuance of MICLA for the Early Works related to the Expansion Project would cause the City to borrow up to $54.4 million at an approximate 4.4 percent interest rate over 30 years. The total estimated debt service related to the recommendations in this report is $99 million including interest of approximately $44.6 million. During the life of the bonds, the estimated annual debt service is $3.3 million for 30 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 six percent. Issuing debt for this project will impact this debt ratio. The 2024-25 Adopted Budget non voter-approved debt ratio is 2.63 percent. The issuance of debt for these purposes will likely not cause the City to exceed the six percent non-voter approved debt limit. Per the proposal, the total Expansion Project construction cost is contemplated to be $1.4 billion. The cost of issuing that debt will depend on the timing and sizing of the Expansion Project which will be concurrent with final recommendations concerning Project Agreements.

    2. AMEND and APPROVE Recommendation No. 3, approved by the Transportation Committee action of June 5, 2024, attached to Council file No. 18-0244-S4, to include the following new paragraph 3.f, respectively:

    3. AMEND and APPROVE Recommendation No. 8, approved by the Transportation Committee action of June 5, 2024, attached to the Council file, respectively, as follows:

Fiscal Impact Statement:

The LADOT reports that the forecast assumes that initiating the remaining service commitments under the Transit Service Analysis (TSA) would result in a negative $51 million funding balance in Prop A at the end of Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-2024 if no further adjustments were made to reduce transit programs costs. This would result in a General Fund impact of about $51 million in FY 2023-2024 to cover projected transit expenditures, plus additional General Fund impact in future budget years.

   
 

Financial Policies Statement:

The LADOT reports that the forecast assumes that initiating the remaining service commitments under the TSA would result in a negative $51 million funding balance in Prop A at the end of FY 2023-24 if no further adjustments were made to reduce transit programs costs.  This would result in a General Fund impact of about $51 million in FY 2023-24 to cover projected transit expenditures, plus additional General Fund impact in future budget year.
