RULES, ELECTIONS AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS COMMITTEE REPORT relative to adopting changes to the Rules of the Los Angeles City Council, Nos. 7 and 63.
|
|
|
|
Recommendation for Council action, pursuant to Motion (Harris-Dawson, et al. – Price, et al.):
ADOPT, pursuant to Council Rule No. 77, the following changes to the Rules of the Los Angeles City Council:
- Add the following to the end of Council Rule No. 7:
Prohibition on Use of N-word and C-word Epithets
A public speaker may not use the N-word or C-word, or any variation of either of these words, in a Council or Committee meeting. To avoid ambiguity, the N-word is spelled "n" followed by "i" followed by "g" followed by "g" followed by "e" followed by "r." The C-word is spelled "c" followed by "u" followed by "n" followed by "t." Examples of variations of these epithets include, but are not limited to, the words' plural forms and words created by adding "-ish," "-y," "-ly" or "-ing" to create related adjectives, adverbs, verbs, or gerundives. Public speakers are prohibited from using the N-word and C-word and their variations even though the speakers would use the words to express a non-offensive, non-vulgar viewpoint. The first time a public speaker in a Council or Committee meeting uses the N-word or C-word, or its variation, the staffing City Attorney or presiding officer shall issue a warning to the public speaker that the word and its variations are proscribed and may not be used again in any Council or Committee meeting. If the speaker who received the warning uses the word or its variation again in that or any future Council or Committee meeting, the presiding officer shall re-issue the order, note that the officer's need to stop the meeting to re-issue the order has actually disrupted the meeting, and cut off the speaker's time to speak for the remainder of that meeting. The disruptive speaker is additionally subject to possible removal and exclusion as other provided in this Rule.
- Add the following to the end of Council Rule No. 63:
Prohibition on Use of N-word and C-word Epithets
Public speakers in Committee are subject to the same rules regarding the N-word and C-word as provided in Council Rule No. 7.
[The Council may recess to Closed Session to confer with its legal counsel relative to the above matter based on a significant exposure to litigation, pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.9(d)(2) and (e)(3). (One potential case.)]
(Pursuant to Council Rule 77, an affirmative vote of two-thirds of all members of the Council shall be necessary to amend these Rules. Each proposed amendment shall be presented to the Council and then laid over one week before it can be adopted.)

TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT relative to modifying traffic signal timing citywide to operate with dwell recall, Transit Signal Priority, or preemption along at-grade rail lines, Bus Rapid Transit lines, and full-time and part-time transit lanes, and related matters.
|
|
|
|
Recommendation for Council action, pursuant to Motion (Raman, et al. – Harris-Dawson):
INSTRUCT the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) to:
- Report to Council, in collaboration with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), within 60 days, with guidelines establishing dwell recall for signals along at-grade rail lines and Bus Rapid Transit lines.
- Report to Council, within 120 days, with a draft policy and implementation plan and timeline to modify signal timing citywide to operate traffic signals with dwell recall, Transit Signal Priority, or preemption along at-grade rail lines, Bus Rapid Transit lines, full-time transit lanes, and part-time transit lanes, with the goal of reducing signal delay to transit vehicles and reducing transit end-to-end travel times to the greatest extent possible. The timeline should identify changes that can be made without new equipment (such as implementing dwell recall) to be implemented as soon as possible, followed by changes requiring equipment and larger capital costs, such as improvements to Transit Signal Priority and preemption. The report should also include a draft policy and implementation plan to provide automatic pedestrian and cyclist phasing for adjacent crosswalks, bike lanes, and bike paths that run parallel to the direction of trains or buses in a separate lane or guideway.
- Report to Council, within 180 days, with a “Transit First Policy” that incorporates the above guidelines and policies and guides all future design or modification of traffic signals citywide, with the adopted goal of reducing signal delay to transit vehicles and reducing transit end-to-end travel times as much as possible above all other considerations, excepting safety. The Transit First Policy would also guide the LADOT to work with Metro to upgrade to the type of signal prioritization or preemption that best meets the travel time goals of the policy. The policy should include a provision that deviations from these goals must be justified based on specific findings, on a case-by-case basis.
- Study how the impacts of the above policies proposed in this Motion (Raman, et al. – Harris-Dawson) affect speeds and timetables for transit services, and report this information to Council within one year of adoption of the policies proposed in said Motion, attached to the Council file.
