PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT OF BALLOT TABULATION and
ORDINANCE FIRST CONSIDERATION relative to establishment of
the Gateway to L.A. Business Improvement District (BID), pursuant to
Section 53753 of the California Government Code, Section 36600 et
seq. of the California Streets and Highways Code and Article XIII D of
the California Constitution.
Recommendations for Council action, if the tabulation of ballots
indicates majority support, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE
MAYOR:
1. PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying ORDINANCE, dated
May 23, 2025, establishing the Gateway to L.A. BID and
confirming the assessments to be levied upon properties within
the BID, as described in the Management District Plan.
2. AUTHORIZE the City Clerk, subject to approval of the City
Attorney, to prepare, execute and administer an operating
agreement between the City and a non-profit corporation for the
administration of the BID’s programs.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Clerk reports that direct costs
associated with Department administrative expenses will be charged
to the BID and will be recovered from assessments collected. The
total assessment for Los Angeles World Airports-owned properties
within the BID is $225,088.22 for the first operating year. There are no
assessments for City-owned properties within the District, therefore
there is no impact on the General Fund for City property
assessments. Proposition 218 requires the separation of general
benefits from the special benefits. The general benefit portion for the
Gateway to L.A. BID is $33,941.90 for the first year. However, funds
other than assessment revenue must be budgeted annually for the
general benefit expense for the remaining years of the BID’s ten-year
term. |

ADMINISTRATIVE EXEMPTION; COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE
BOARD OF AIRPORT COMMISSIONERS (BOAC) and CITY
ATTORNEY, RESOLUTION OF NECESSITY, and ORDINANCE FIRST
CONSIDERATION relative to the statutory findings of public interest
and necessity, and authorization for the commencement of eminent
domain proceedings to acquire portions of the property located at 5928
West 96th Street and 9775 Airport Boulevard; for the Landslide Access
Modernization Program (LAMP) at Los Angeles International Airport
(LAX).
Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL
OF THE MAYOR:
1. CONCUR with the BOAC’s adoption of the staff determination
that:
a. The action requested herein is within the scope of the LAX
LAMP Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and does not
include any changes that would require further review
under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166 and
CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, and that activities
previously analyzed in the LAX LAMP EIR are also
exempt from CEQA pursuant to Article II, Section 2(i) of
the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines that exempts any
activity (approval of bids, execution of contracts, allocation
of funds, etc.) for which the underlying project has
previously been evaluated for environmental significance
and processed according to the requirements of CEQA.
b. The taking of portions of the property is authorized by,
inter alia, Section 19, Article I of the California
Constitution, Sections 37350.5 and 40404(f) of the
California Government Code, Public Utilities Code Section
21661.6, the Los Angeles City Charter Section 632(c),
Section 1230.010 et seq. and Sections 1240.050 and
1240.125, of the California Code of Civil Procedure, and
all other applicable law.
2. ADOPT RESOLUTION OF NECESSITY 28158, as adopted by

3. PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying ORDINANCE, dated

Boulevard, and bearing Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 4124029-040, as more particularly described in Attachments 1, 2, 3,
and 4 of said Ordinance.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Administrative officer reports that
approval of eminent domain proceedings to acquire portions of the
property near the Los Angeles International Airport to enable the
construction of required roadway improvements to support the

not to exceed $2,267,685, will be financed by the LAX Revenue Fund
and appropriated and allocated to WBS Element No. 1.24.13A-7000
(LAMP – ROW Acquisitions and Relocations) with reimbursement by
Passenger Facility Charges as applicable. Costs associated with
LAMP-related land acquisitions are contained in LAWA’s Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP); therefore, approval of the proposed
acquisition will not result in an increase in the programmed CIP
budget. The proposed action complies with the Department’s
Financial Policies. |

CONSIDERATION OF MOTION (HERNANDEZ, PADILLA – SOTOMARTINEZ) relative to Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD)
response to requests for assistance from outside law enforcement
agencies, request for information related to any policies related to
facilitating immigration enforcement, possible implementation of
policies limiting support to agencies performing immigration
enforcement under the existing Sanctuary City Ordinance; and related
matters.
Recommendations for Council action:
1. REQUEST the City Attorney report back in 15 days on any and
all laws at every level of government that require and/or trigger
LAPD to respond to a call for assistance from another law
enforcement agency and any municipal code or departmental
policy change that narrows or conditions those requirements
based on upholding the constitutional rights of Angelenos.
2. INSTRUCT the Chief Legislative Analyst to report back in 15
days with information on how other municipalities and
jurisdictions across the country are responding to these actions
of the federal government, including requests for support with
immigration enforcement. Municipalities should include but not
be limited to others in the State of California, New York City, and
Seattle.
3. INSTRUCT the LAPD to report within 15 days on all calls for
help and support from other law enforcement agencies that the
LAPD responded to between Friday June 6, 2025 and Friday
June 20, 2025. Details for each call should include but not be
limited to the following:
a. The entity that requested the call for help or support.

d. The LAPD incident Commander for each scene.

4. REQUEST the Board of Police Commissioners to consider
implementing policy limiting and narrowing LAPD’s response to
calls for support from federal agencies performing immigration
enforcement beyond what is required under the existing
Sanctuary City Ordinance. Considerations should include:
a. Compliance with calls for support from federal immigration
operations only if, and only if, upon receipt of a verified
judicial warrant.
b. Precluding LAPD officers from activities which directly or
indirectly enable civil Federal immigration enforcement to
access public or private property for the purposes of
carrying out immigration enforcement.
c. Verification of identity of agents on site once LAPD has
arrived on the scene, including their names, agency they
work for, and badge numbers. |
