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].

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.

Recommendations for Council action, pursuant to Motion (Krekorian - O’Farrell):

DIRECT the Bureau of Sanitation (BOS) to present a Community and a Municipal Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory to inform progress towards meeting the City of Los Angeles’ (City) climate change goals. The Municipal and Community inventories should be developed and reported by sector, based upon established Local Government Operations Protocol and Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Inventories. Departments, including proprietary departments, must share requested activity data for the previous year with the BOS by October 31 of each year. The inventory should be finalized and presented to the Council by January 15 of each year and used to inform the subsequent year's budget process.
INSTRUCT the City Administrative Officer (CAO) to establish a Climate Impact team, which shall support departments in the preparation of investment plans that achieve the City's goal of carbon neutrality and perform other climate-related activities referred to them. This team shall be responsible for setting annual, decreasing caps on emissions for each high-emitting department in order to reduce emissions levels to each Council-established goal. Departments included in this cap should at minimum include the BOS, Department of General Services, Los Angeles Police Department, Los Angeles Fire Department, Department of Recreation and Parks, and Zoo Department. Proprietary departments should also report on these metrics in the format identified by the CAO.
INSTRUCT the CAO, with the assistance of the BOS, to report by April 15 of each year on departments' progress towards meeting their annual carbon reduction goals.
DIRECT the CAO, in consultation with both City and proprietary departments, to compile a list of all programs currently active in the City that are intended to reduce emissions, along with their total expected cost, cost per year, and scheduled time of completion; and that this list be included in the Budget. The CAO should further elaborate meaningful reporting standards (e.g. size and type of project) for departments to follow to meet this reporting requirement.
AMEND the CTIEP policy by incorporating climate change mitigation projects and specifically, carbon reduction projects as Primary Criteria within the CTIEP Project Prioritization Criteria section, and establish climate change mitigation projects as elements within the existing Element Descriptions for municipal facilities, physical plant, and major information technology infrastructure and systems.
INSTRUCT the CAO to identify the CTIEP projects with climate change mitigation goals included in 2020-21, 2021-22, and 2022-23 budgets that were counted towards the General Fund annual minimum investment target of 1.5 percent, and recommend an investment target for General Fund supported climate change mitigation projects for 2023-24 utilizing available metrics, including the rate of return on the City's investment. This target should represent a meaningful increase in the annual level of investment.
INSTRUCT the CAO, with the assistance of all departments and proprietary departments, to prepare a study using an expert consultant, that identifies the feasibility of and investments needed to achieve carbon neutrality in municipal operations by 2035. The study should identify costs and projects needed to achieve the City's existing goal of carbon neutrality by 2045 to compare costs of both timelines. The study should identify intermediate percentage reduction targets and associated costs based on the 2021 baseline in order to guide the preparation of a carbon budget. This study should rely upon the analysis in the LA100 study, the Municipal Solar and Building Decarb workbooks, and assume that the City will reach 100 percent clean electricity by 2035.
INSTRUCT the CAO to report on the staffing and budget resources needed to create a Climate Impact team capable of managing the tasks described in this Motion.
