COMMITTEE REPORT and ORDINANCE FIRST CONSIDERATION
relative to a quitclaim of public water facility easement by Department
of Water and Power (DWP) to Etai Harari and Moriah Harari, husband
and wife as community property.
Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL
OF THE MAYOR:
1. DETERMINE that this item is exempt pursuant to California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15061(b)

Therefore, the quitclaim of a DWP public utility easement is not
an action subject to CEQA.
2. APPROVE Board of Water and Power Commissioners (Board)
Resolution No. 026-094 authorizing the DWP to execute a
Quitclaim Deed quitclaiming a water facility easement at

to Etai Harari and Moriah Harari, Husband and Wife as
community property, at no cost to DWP.
3. PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying ORDINANCE dated
December 2, 2025, approving Board Resolution No. 026-094
authorizing the quitclaim of public water facility easement by

community property.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Administrative Officer reports that
there is no impact on the City General Fund. The DWP Water
Revenue Fund will receive onetime revenue of $6,420 as a
processing fee for the quitclaim of this easement, which the property
owners have paid to DWP. The above recommendations comply with
DWP adopted Financial Policies. |

BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the waiver
of plan check and permit fees associated with the reconstruction of
private property damaged or destroyed in the January 2025 Wildfires.
Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL
OF THE MAYOR:
1. NOTE AND FILE the following reports and Amending Motions,
attached to the Council file:
a. City Administrative Officer (CAO) report dated May 7,
2025
b. CAO report dated October 2, 2025
c. City Attorney report and draft Ordinance dated June 20,
2025
d. Amending Motion 23C (Rodriguez – Yaroslavsky) dated
December 2, 2025
e. Amending Motion 23D (Park – Nazarian) dated December
2, 2025.
2. APPROVE Option 3 (A, B, and C) as detailed in the CAO report
dated January 16, 2026, attached to the Council file, for the
waiver of fees for all structures, regardless of rebuild/repair
scale, only up to the amount attributed to 110 percent of the
original footprint, with an aggregate cap of $90 million, for three
years. Property owners would be liable for fees in excess of 110
percent rebuild/repair scale.
3. FIND that the waiving of plan check and permit fees for
rebuilding properties that were damaged or destroyed as a
result of the January 2025 Wildfires represents a clear public
benefit inasmuch as the waivers would remove barriers to
reconstruction and benefit the economy of the City of Los
Angeles.
4. REQUEST the City Attorney to prepare and present a new
Ordinance consistent with its recommendations and including
all previous provisions around eligibility subject to ownership at
the time of the January 2025 Wildfires, including relative
positions from previous draft Ordinances that align with this
report, with a timeline for eligibility retroactive to the date of the
fire and not longer than three years from the date that the
Council acts.
5. REQUEST the Controller to establish a new account, Wildfire
Emergency Permit Fee Subsidies, in the General City Purposes
(GCP); and, appropriate $10 million from a temporary revolving
loan from the Building and Safety Building Permit Enterprise
Fund (Enterprise Fund) to be repaid with interest.
6. INSTRUCT the Department of Building and Safety and other
relevant City departments to establish fee subsidy procedures,
including the process for obtaining reimbursements of
subsidized fees from the GCP to ensure full cost recovery for
the Enterprise Fund.
7. INSTRUCT the CAO to:
a. Identify unrestricted funds to repay the Enterprise Fund,
for any and all fees waived in connection with the January
2025 Wildfires, with interest calculated at the City Daily
Interest Pool Rate.
b. Recommend a funding strategy to the Mayor and Council,
for inclusion in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget, that
would limit the General Fund obligation to a maximum of
$30 million per year over the next three fiscal years.
c. Report back to the Budget and Finance Committee, with
support from affected City departments, via the Financial
Status Report process with updates on the use of this
waiver program, including the types of properties for which
permits have been issued.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that should the Council
approve the recommendations contained in the CAO report dated
January 16, 2026, and waive fees for all structures (single family
dwelling, duplexes, accessory dwelling units, multi-family dwellings,
and commercial properties), regardless of rebuild/repair scale, up to
the amount attributable to 110 percent, the General Fund impact is
$98.30 million, not including the costs of borrowing. Should the
Council choose to limit the fee waivers to only single-family dwellings
and duplexes that are rebuilding only up to 110 percent of the original
footprint, the estimated General Fund impact is $80.4 million, not
including the costs of borrowing. Should the Council choose to extend
the fee waivers to all structures with no limit on the rebuild/repair
scale, the General Fund impact could be over $126.43 million, not
including the costs of borrowing.
Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that in order to comply
with the City Financial Policies, the City Council needs to make a
finding of public benefit to waive fees for services for individual users.
Because the fees to be waived are for services funded through a
source of funds generated by the collection of those fees, a General
Fund appropriation would be required to prevent other service users
from improperly subsidizing such fees. |

OF THE MAYOR:
AUTHORIZE the:
1. Previous submission of:
a. Eight grant applications by the General Manager,
Department of Transportation (DOT) and one grant
application by the City of West Hollywood in partnership
with DOT, to the Open and Slow Streets Cycle 6 and 7
Grant Program for the projects identified in the DOT report
dated December 4, 2025, attached to the Council file.
b. Two grant applications by the General Manager, El
Pueblo, to the Open and Slow Streets Cycle 6 and 7
Grant Program for the projects identified in said report.
2. General Managers, DOT and El Pueblo, to:
a. Execute any necessary funding and contractual
documents, subject to the approval of the City Attorney as
to form and legality, to receive Metro Open Streets Grant
Program Cycle 6 and 7 awards, and to commit to provide
the minimum required local match of up to $1,924,844
through in-kind match for projects for which the City of Los
Angeles is the Lead Agency, and up to $100,000 for which
the City of Los Angeles is a partner agency, in Fiscal
Years 2025-26, 2026-27, 2027-28, and 2028-29.
b. Make any technical adjustments or clarifications as

$3,193,271 within the Transportation Grant Fund No.

delivering Open Streets events that travel through the City
of Los Angeles jurisdiction, including the City of West

purpose fund appropriation requests in the City's Measure M Local
Return Fund. The DOT expects to submit Capital and Technology
Improvement Plan budget requests for the required 30 percent local
match. Neither the CAO nor the Chief Legislative Analyst has
completed a financial analysis of this report. |

BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT, RESOLUTION and
ORDINANCES FIRST CONSIDERATION relative to the issuance and
sale of Municipal Improvement Corporation of Los Angeles (MICLA)
Lease Revenue Bonds (Bonds), lease and leaseback of real
property between the City and MICLA; and, creation of a special fund
to record accounting transactions.
Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL
OF THE MAYOR:
1. ADOPT the accompanying Authorizing RESOLUTION, attached
to the City Administrative Officer (CAO) report dated January 8,
2026, attached to the Council file, which authorizes the
issuance and sale in a principal amount up to $255 million of
MICLA Bonds, Series 2026-A (Capital Equipment and Real
Property), to be sold on a negotiated basis; and, authorizes the
execution and delivery of related bond documents in connection
with the issuance and sale of the Bonds.
2. PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying ORDINANCE, dated
January 9, 2026, approving the lease and leaseback of certain
real properties by and between the City and MICLA in
connection with the issuance of Bonds by MICLA, to be issued
to retire certain maturities of commercial paper notes issued by
MICLA.
3. PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying ORDINANCE, dated
January 9, 2026, adding Section 5.162.57 to Article 2.5,
Chapter 9, Division 5 of the Los Angeles Administrative Code to
create a special fund related to the Bonds to be issued by
MICLA, in one or more series, preliminarily named the
Municipal Improvement Corporation of Los Angeles Lease
Revenue Bonds, Series 2026-A (Capital Equipment and Real
Property), with such additional series and subseries
designations as determined by the City, to record certain
accounting transactions related to the Bonds.
4. INSTRUCT the Controller to create an account in the Capital
Finance Administration Fund (Fund No. 100/53) that will be
used to pay for future lease payments entitled “MICLA 2026-A
(Capital Equipment & Real Property)”.
5. AUTHORIZE the CAO to make technical corrections and
adjustments as necessary to those transactions included in said
CAO report to implement the Mayor and Council intentions.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of the
Bonds in an aggregate principal amount up to $255 million will be
payable from lease payments to be made by the City to MICLA
pursuant to the Lease Agreement, which is an obligation of the
General Fund, subject to annual appropriations in the Adopted Budget
within the Capital Finance Administration Fund (Fund No. 100/53).
The resulting semi-annual lease payments will be due on April 15 and
October 15 in sufficient amounts to pay semi-annual debt service
payments for the Bonds. There is no additional General Fund impact
as the first lease payment will occur in Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27.
Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of
the Bonds in an aggregate principal amount up to $255 million, along
with the associated lease payments, will not cause the City’s debt
service obligations to exceed six percent of General Fund revenues
for non-voter-approved debt, as required by the City’s Financial
Policies. After the issuance of the Bonds, the projected non-voter
approved debt ratio is estimated to be 2.40 percent in FY 2025-26
and 2.73 percent in FY 2026-27, as detailed in Attachment B of said
CAO report.
Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the Bonds will be
payable from lease payments to be made by the City pursuant to the
Lease Agreement, which is a General Fund obligation. These lease
payments to MICLA will be annually budgeted in the Capital Finance
Administration Fund (Fund No. 100/53). The average annual debt
service for the Bonds is estimated to be $15.9 million over 20 years,
through May 1, 2046. The total debt service, including total principal
and interest, over the life of the Bonds is estimated to be
approximately $318.8 million. Actual interest rates may differ as rates
are dependent on market conditions at the time of issuance. After the
issuance of the Bonds, the projected non-voter approved debt ratio is
estimated to be 2.40 percent in FY 2025-26 and 2.73 percent in FY
2026-27, as detailed in Attachment B of said CAO report. |

MOTION (RAMAN - HARRIS-DAWSON) relative to a request to City
Attorney to prepare and present ballot measure language, with a
severability clause, and the necessary ballot resolutions and election
ordinance to place the measure on the June 2, 2026 ballot, to amend
the Measure ULA ordinance.
Recommendation for Council action:
REQUEST the City Attorney to prepare and present ballot measure
language, with a severability clause, and the necessary ballot
resolutions and election ordinance to place the measure on the June
2, 2026 ballot, to amend the Measure ULA ordinance with the
following changes:
Commercial/Multifamily & Palisades Exemptions:
Amend Section 21.9.2 to:
• Create a fifteen year exemption for newly constructed
multifamily, commercial or mixed use (i.e. multifamily and
commercial combined). The exemption should apply to
multifamily and commercial properties transferred within 15
years from issuance of the most recent certificate of occupancy
for new construction or substantial rehabilitation. Multifamily is
defined as any properties containing 4 or more dwelling units
and commercial is defined as any properties containing non-
residential uses.
• Amend Measure ULA to allow the Office of Finance to issue an
exemption for three years after any natural disaster upon a
showing by the listed taxpayer that the Measure ULA tax will
cause an undue hardship. This rule should be retroactive to
owners of record of residential properties on January 7, 2025 in
fire-impacted areas.
Affordable Housing Production Technical Changes:
• Amend Section 21.9.14 to add non-profit and a limited
partnership whose general partner is a single-member limited
liability company wholly controlled by a nonprofit corporation
meeting the affordable housing development qualifications.
• Amend Section 22.618.3 (d)(l)(i)b.4 to clarify that the language
is not applicable in cases of transfers by foreclosure, deed-in-
lieu of foreclosure, or other similar conveyance. Replace the
resale requirement with a first right of refusal clause for qualified
non-profits, Community Land Trusts, and Limited Equity
Housing Cooperatives with affordable housing development
qualifications to bid on the property at fair market value with a
60 day response period.
• Amend Section 22.618.3(d)(l)(i)b.7 to provide necessary
flexibility for seniority to be determined based on the
requirements of other public funders and based on the size of
each lender's loan.
• Amend Section 22.618.3(d)(l)(i)b.1 and b.2 to provide flexibility
to the Los Angeles Housing Department to permit an
adjustment of rents up to 80% of Area Median Income to ensure
positive cash flow, for example following the loss of subsidy or
the risk of foreclosure for project feasibility. This opportunity to
shift affordability levels within a project should only be used in
times of financial distress to remove any risk.
Contracting
• Add a provision to ensure that upon City Council approval for
matters related to Measure ULA, the City Attorney must
conclude review as to form in 90 days or less. |

per calendar year a vacation rental may be rented, and
implementing a vacation rental application fee to fund
enforcement activities.

relative to rescinding the Council action of July 30, 2025, CF 22-
0392-S1, which requests the City Attorney to prepare and
present an ordinance to amend Ordinance No. 188699 relative
to the establishment of a Transportation Communications
Network (TCN) Revenue Fund, that would allocated 75 percent

within each Council District, and 25 percent for citywide
purposes.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that there is no immediate
fiscal impact on the General Fund as a result of the recommendations
in the report; however, recommendations identify potential future
actions that may require additional appropriations through interim
budget actions subject to Mayor and Council approval.
Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the
recommendations in the report comply with the City’s Financial
Policies in that the report is for informational purposes only and does
not commit the City to any future expenditure of funds without further
legislative action. |
