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. |

PUBLIC SAFETY and TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEES’
REPORT relative to the impact of California Assembly Bill (AB) 436
regarding cruising laws and enforcement, and community
engagement.
Recommendations for Council action:
1. NOTE and FILE the Department of Transportation (DOT) report,
dated March 19, 2025, attached to the Council file, relative
to AB 436 community engagement implementation inasmuch as
it is for information purposes only and no action is required.
2. REPEAL Section 80.36.10 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code
(LAMC).
3. DIRECT the DOT to remove all posted anti-cruising signs
related to LAMC Section 80.36.10 and former Section 21100(k)
of the California Vehicle Code.
4. DIRECT the Bureau of Street Services, in order to balance
protecting public safety while also supporting the historical
significance of cruising culture, to explore the use of special
event permits to allow for the hosting of regulated cruising and
car show events on the public right-of-way.
Fiscal Impact Statement: None submitted by the City Attorney. The
DOT reports that there is not any anticipated impact to the General
Fund as a result of these recommendations. Accommodations such
as language access will incur additional costs, and the estimated cost
for interpretation services for a one-hour meeting range from $250
(virtual) and $1,040 (in-person) based on recent quotes from the
City’s designated interpretation contractor. Additionally, any meetings
conducted outside of regular hours of operation would need to incur
staff overtime. The engineering overtime cost to attend after-hours
meetings and provide technical oversight related to traffic controls is a
maximum of $500 per meeting (depending on day/time/and number of
hours). Neither the City Administrative Officer nor the Chief Legislative
Analyst has completed a financial analysis of this report. |

COMMUNICATION FROM THE CHAIR AND MEMBER, ENERGY
AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE, relative to terminating the
Removing Barriers to Recycling (RBR) Program component of the
RecycLA solid resources franchise hauling contracts.
SUBMITS WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION the following
recommendations of the City Administrative Officer (CAO):
1. FIND that the City cannot continue funding the RBR Program.
2. INSTRUCT the Bureau of Sanitation (BOS) to:
a. Terminate the RBR Program provision of the RecycLA
personal services contracts for exclusive franchise
commercial and multi-family solid resources collecting and
hauling for all 11 zones Citywide, encompassing the
following agreements:
i. Arakelian Enterprises, Inc. dba Athens Services (C-
128879)
ii. Consolidated Disposal Service, LLC dba Republic
Services (C-128880)
iii. Universal Waste Systems, Inc. (UWS) (C-128881)
iv. USA Waste of California, Inc. dba Waste
Management (C-128878)
v. CalMet Services, Inc. (CalMet) (C-128875)
vi. NASA Services, Inc. (NASA) (C-128876)
vii. Ware Disposal, Inc. (Ware) (C-128877)
b. Provide written notice of termination to the RecycLA
service providers with termination of the RBR to occur on
January 31, 2027, upon the anticipated expiration date of
the current contracts listed above, with notice to occur at
least one calendar year prior to the effective termination
date.
c. Complete all audits of the RBR Program, address any
discrepancies including any reimbursements owed to the
City, issue liquidated damages as appropriate, and pursue
the resolution of outstanding liquidated damages owed by
current RecycLA service providers through the RBR
payment reconciliation process and other means, as
necessary, prior to the termination of the contracts on
January 31, 2027.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Administrative Officer (CAO)
reports that adoption of the above recommendations would activate a
required one-year notice period for RecycLA service providers to
terminate the RBR Program by January 31, 2027 and could mitigate
costs to the Citywide Recycling Trust Fund (CRTF) by up to $2.49
million per month should new waste collection contracts not be in
place by February 1, 2027, which may then result in an equal amount
of savings to the General Fund in reduced subsidies and
appropriations required to support CRTF obligations in 2026-27.
Adoption of the above recommendation to instruct the BOS to seek
any owed reimbursements and resolve outstanding liquidated
damages due to the City prior to the expiration of the current RecycLA
contracts may result in additional revenue to the CRTF and further
reduce its reliance on the General Fund, impacts of which are
unknown at this time.
Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the above
recommendations pursue compliance with the City's Financial
Policies in that, to the extent possible, current operations will be
funded by current revenues, and that special funds are to reimburse
the General Fund for all direct expenditures and related costs
provided to support their programs. |
