Requests for reasonable modification or accommodation from individuals with disabilities, consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act can be made by contacting the City Clerk's Office at (213) 978-1133. 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.
 
SE OFRECE UN SERVICIO DE TRADUCCIÓN AL ESPAÑOL EN TODAS LAS REUNIONES DEL CONSEJO MUNICIPAL
 
Spanish language interpretation is available at all Council and Committee meetings. Interpretation services in additional languages are available upon request, at no cost. Please submit your request to [email protected] as soon as possible to allow time for scheduling. You will receive a confirmation reply if an interpreter is available.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.

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:
 

  1. 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.
     
  2. 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.)

ADMINISTRATIVE EXEMPTION, TRADE, TRAVEL AND TOURISM COMMITTEE REPORT, and ORDINANCE FIRST CONSIDERATION relative to adding Article 4, Sections 23.67 through 23.67.6 to Division 23, Chapter 3 of the Los Angeles Administrative Code (LAAC) to formally establish a Los Angeles Harbor Department Port Police Reserve Corps.
   
 

Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR:
 
  1. ADOPT the determination by the Board of Harbor Commissioners (BOHC) that the proposed action is administratively exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Article II, Section 2(f) of the Los Angeles CEQA Guidelines.
     
  2. APPROVE BOHC Resolution No. 25-10489 for the proposed Ordinance which would amend the LAAC to formally establish a Los Angeles Harbor Department Port Police Reserve Corps.
     
  3. PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying ORDINANCE, dated February 5, 2025, adding Article 4, Sections 23.67 through 23 67.6 to Division 23, Chapter 3 of the LAAC to formally establish the Los Angeles Harbor Department Port Police Reserve Corps.

   
 

Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Administrative Officer reports that approval of the Ordinance to amend the LAAC to establish a Harbor Department Port Police Reserve Corps will result in initial costs to the Harbor Department of $119,950, or $23,990 each, to provide the necessary uniforms and equipment for five volunteer officers. Each of the five officers would be eligible to receive a $25 per pay period stipend from the Harbor Department for uniform cleaning and equipment maintenance, for an annual total cost of $16,250. In addition, each officer is eligible to receive one uniform replacement annually, on an as-needed basis, with an estimated cost to the Harbor Department of $510 each. The total annual cost to the Harbor Department is estimated to be $18,800 for five officers. Funding for Fiscal Year 2026-27 and future years will be requested from Account No. 561025 – Events and Miscellaneous Equipment Rental, through the annual budget adoption process, subject to Board approval. The recommended actions comply with the Harbor Department’s Financial Policies. There is no impact on the City’s General Fund.

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:
 
  1. 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.
     
  2. 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.
     
  3. 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.
     
  4. 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.

Recommendations for Council action:
 
  1. FIND, pursuant to Los Angeles City Charter Section 371(e)(10) and Los Angeles Administrative Code Section 10.15(a)(10), that the use of competitive bidding would be undesirable and impractical for this contract:
     
    1. Sycamores has been awarded the CIRCLE Program service contract through the Mayor’s Office and is uniquely positioned to implement and manage program operations at the City-owned facility at 6262 Van Nuys Boulevard, with said location to serve as the primary dispatch center for outreach coordination and service delivery to individuals experiencing homelessness, ensuring an efficient and immediate response to community needs.
       
    2. Given Sycamores’ expertise in behavioral health services, crisis intervention, and street-based outreach, as well as its alignment with the Mayor’s initiative, it is the most qualified and capable entity to operate from this facility, maximizing program effectiveness and community impact.
       
  2. AUTHORIZE the Department of General Services to negotiate and execute a license agreement with Sycamores for the retail space located at 6262 Van Nuys Boulevard, Suite E, Van Nuys, California 91401, under the terms and conditions substantially outlined in the April 7, 2025 Municipal Facilities Committee (MFC) report, attached to the Council file.

  1. FIND, pursuant to Los Angeles City Charter Section 371(e)(10) and Los Angeles Administrative Code Section 10.15(a)(10), that the use of competitive bidding would be undesirable and impractical for this contract:

However, funds other than assessment revenue must be budgeted annually for the general benefit expense for the remaining years of the BID's ten-year term. Funding is available in the BID Trust Fund No. 659 to pay the General Fund share of the assessment for the first operating year.

  2. APPROVE Recommendation Nos. 1 through 17 contained in the City Clerk report dated April 16, 2025, attached to Council file No. 25-0423, relative to the West Adams Property and BID, Property Based, for a proposed ten-year term.
     
  3. REQUEST the City Attorney, with the assistance of the City Clerk, to prepare an enabling Ordinance establishing the West Adams Property and BID for City Council consideration at the conclusion of the required public hearing.

   
 

Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Clerk reports that there are no assessments for City-owned properties within the BID, therefore there is no impact on the General Fund for City property assessments. Proposition 218 requires the separation of general benefits from the special benefits. The general benefit portion for the District is $6,909 (2.5168 percent of the total budget) for the first year. However, funds other than assessment revenue must be budgeted annually for the general benefit expense for the remaining years of the BID's ten-year term.
