these funds? Provide additional details on the anticipated funding
cliff for Fiscal Year 2025-26 and beyond; and potential impacts on
service delivery and impact on specific subpopulations of people
who are served.

the TLS Program a success, particularly in light of LAHSA contracts
beginning to require in-person case management every week for

Program? How long does it take for a person experiencing
homelessness to receive a TLS slot, if eligible, once they are

navigation, why and for how long? Is the issue staff capacity in
housing navigation or is it difficulty in finding apartments that will
participate in the TLS Program?

participants. How can the TLS Program be connected with
employment programs that already funded by the City and County?
Encourage the LAHSA to work with the Mayor’s Fund and other
City resources to help develop this.

navigation as an intervention?

A. TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT
Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF

1. RECEIVE and FILE the Los Angeles Department of Transportation
(LADOT) report, dated June 5, 2019, attached to the Council file,
relative to the status of proposed updates to the City's TMD
Ordinance requirements for new developments.
2. FIND that:
a. Based on the independent judgment of the decision-maker,
after consideration of the whole of the administrative record,
the project was assessed in the previously certified EIR, No.
ENV-2013-0911-EIR, SCH No. 2013041012, certified on
November 25, 2015 (Council file No. 15-0719); Addendum

0911-EIR-ADD2, dated March 2016 (Council File No. 15-

and 15164, and the Addendum No. ENV-2013-0911-EIR-
ADD3, dated September 9, 2022, that no major revisions to
the EIR are required and no subsequent EIR or negative

b. The Fee Ordinance and Trust Fund Ordinance do not

result in a potentially significant physical impact on the
environment."
c. The adoption of the Fee Ordinance and Trust Fund Ordinance
are exempt from CEQA based upon CEQA Guidelines
