RECEIVE and FILE the Los Angeles Department of\nTransportation (LADOT) supplemental report dated October 24,\n2025, attached to the Council file, regarding private ambulance\nrates charged and regulated by the five largest cities and\ncounties in California, inasmuch as it is for information purposes\nonly and no action is required.\n2.

FIND that rates for this industry were due for an adjustment\nbased upon increased operational costs.\n4.

The City Administrative Officer (CAO)\nreports that there is no impact to the General Fund. The proposed\nrate adjustments would not impact the City budget as these rate\nincreases are charged to private ambulance service users and do not\naffect the fees paid to the City.\nFinancial Policies Statement: The CAO also reports that the\nrecommendation in this report complies with the City’s Financial\nPolicies.
