3. AUTHORIZE the CAO to make technical corrections and adjustments as
necessary to those transactions included in said CAO report to

Finance Administration Fund for costs associated with supporting the CP
Programs, including, but not limited to, LOC fees, interest costs, CP dealer
fees, and rating agency fees. Annual budget appropriations for the CP

Financial Policies, Debt Management Section, the maximum debt service
payable in any given year may not exceed six percent of General Fund
Revenues for non-voter approved debt. The proposed CP Programs will not
cause debt service to exceed this limit as commercial paper is short-term debt
and interest costs and LOC costs associated with supporting the CP Programs
are included in the 2024-25 Adopted Budget, Capital Finance Administration
Fund. Sufficient appropriations within the Capital Finance Administration Fund
for costs associated with supporting the CP Programs over the term of the

Family Services, doing business as Sycamores (Sycamores), for the use of the
City-owned space located at 6262 Van Nuys Boulevard, Suite E, to provide
homelessness related services for the Mayor’s Crisis and Incident Response

Recommendations for Council action:
1. FIND, pursuant to Los Angeles City Charter Section 371(e)(10) and Los

contract through the Mayor’s Office and is uniquely positioned to
implement and manage program operations at the City-owned
facility at 6262 Van Nuys Boulevard, with said location to serve as
the primary dispatch center for outreach coordination and service
delivery to individuals experiencing homelessness, ensuring an
efficient and immediate response to community needs.
b. Given Sycamores’ expertise in behavioral health services, crisis
intervention, and street-based outreach, as well as its alignment
with the Mayor’s initiative, it is the most qualified and capable entity
to operate from this facility, maximizing program effectiveness and
community impact.
2. AUTHORIZE the Department of General Services to negotiate and
execute a license agreement with Sycamores for the retail space located
at 6262 Van Nuys Boulevard, Suite E, Van Nuys, California 91401, under

Municipal Facilities Committee (MFC) report, attached to the Council file.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The MFC reports that there is no General Fund
impact as this is a no-cost license agreement. Sycamores is responsible for
utilities, janitorial services, maintenance, repairs, tenant improvements, and
security costs for the licensed area. |

AD HOC COMMITTEE FOR LA RECOVERY REPORT relative to providing
recommendations for adopting an incentive program for residential and
commercial property owners that voluntarily implement construction best
practices for fire resiliency beyond what is currently required in the City’s
Building Code.
Recommendation for Council action, pursuant to Motion (Rodriguez –
Blumenfield):
INSTRUCT the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, with the
assistance of the Los Angeles Fire Department, the Department of City
Planning, and any other relevant departments, to prepare a report providing
recommendations for adopting an incentive program for residential and
commercial property owners that voluntarily implement construction best
practices for fire resiliency beyond what is currently required in the Building
Code, (e.g. Supplemental code best practices supported by the fire prevention
and insurance industries, outlined in reports such as the Insurance Institute for
Business and Home Safety’s Model Ordinance for Construction in Wildland-
Urban Interface Zone; and, Headwaters Economics’ Construction Costs for a
Wildfire-Resistant Home). The incentives explored should include, but are not
limited to, reduce permitting cost, expedited processing, and expedited
inspection.
Fiscal Impact Statement: Neither the City Administrative Officer nor the Chief
Legislative Analyst has completed a financial analysis of this report. |

MOTION (McOSKER - HUTT) relative to amending the prior Council action of
March 26, 2025, Council file No. (CF) 16-0555-S2, regarding a proposed non-
profit lease agreement with the East Side Riders Bike Club (ESRBC) for the
basement of the City-owned property located at 1513 East 103rd Street, Los
Angeles, California 90002.
Recommendation for Council action:
AMEND the Council action of March 26, 2025 regarding a proposed non-profit
lease agreement with the ESRBC for the basement of the City-owned property
located at 1513 East 103rd Street, Los Angeles, California 90002 (CF 16-0555-
S2), to include the following recommendation:
1. FIND, pursuant to Los Angeles City Charter Section 371(e)(10) and Los
Angeles Administrative Code Section 10.15(a)(10), that the use of
competitive bidding for the proposed lease agreement with ESRBC
would be undesirable inasmuch as the ESRBC is a well-established
community-based nonprofit organization with deep roots in South Los
Angeles and a proven track record of providing vital programming in the
community. Their longstanding commitment to the Watts community,
coupled with their operational history and relationships with local
stakeholders, positions them uniquely to activate and manage
community-focused services at the Watts Municipal Building. Awarding
this lease to ESRBC will ensure the continued delivery of vital,
community-driven services without disruption and aligns with the City's
commitment to supporting grassroots organizations serving underserved
populations.

COMMUNICATION FROM THE CITY CLERK and ORDINANCE OF
INTENTION FIRST CONSIDERATION relative to the establishment of the
Property-Based Little Tokyo Property and Business Improvement District
(District) to levy assessments on real property.
Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE
MAYOR:
1. FIND that:
a. The petitions submitted on behalf of the proponents of the
proposed District are signed by property owners who will pay more
than 50 percent of the assessments proposed to be levied.
b. All parcels included in the District will receive a special benefit from
the improvements and activities that are to be provided.
c. All parcels will have a special benefit conferred upon them and
upon which an assessment would be imposed are those as
identified in the Management District Plan, attached to the Council
file.
d. In accordance with Article XIIID of the California Constitution, all
assessments are supported by the Engineer’s Report, prepared by
a registered professional engineer certified by the State of
California, attached to the Council file.
e. In accordance with Article XIIID of the California Constitution and
based on the facts and conclusions contained in said Engineer’s
Report, the assessment levied on each parcel within the proposed
District is proportionate to the special benefit derived from the
improvements and activities that are to be provided.
f. In accordance with Article XIIID of the California Constitution and
based on the facts and conclusions contained in said Engineer’s
Report, the Engineer has separated the general from special
benefits. The Engineer's Report identified general benefits in the
amount of two percent to be separated from the special benefits
conferred on parcels within the proposed District. The yearly
general benefits cost must be paid from funds other than the
assessments collected for the District. The general benefit cost for
first year of operation is $30,142.48.
g. No publicly-owned parcel is exempt from assessment.
h. The assessments for the proposed District are not taxes and that
the District qualifies for exemption from Proposition 26 under
exemption 7 of Article XIIIC, Section 1(e).
i. The services to be provided by the Owners Association are in the
nature of professional, expert, technical or other special services,
that the services are of a temporary and occasional character, and
that the use of competitive bidding would be impractical, not
advantageous, undesirable or where the common law otherwise
excuses compliance with competitive bidding requirements.
j. The proposed improvements and activities are completely
separate from the day-to-day operations of the City of Los Angeles.
2. APPROVE the Little Tokyo Steering Committee to administer the District
if the District is established.
3. ADOPT the Preliminary Report of the City Clerk dated April 9, 2025,
attached to the Council file.
4. ADOPT the Management District Plan, attached to the Council file.
5. ADOPT said Engineer’s Report, attached to the Council file.
6. PRESENT AND ADOPT the accompanying ORDINANCE
OF INTENTION, dated April 11, 2025, to establish a Property and
Business Improvement District, to be known as the “Little Tokyo Property
and Business Improvement District”, pursuant to the Provisions of the
Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 (Divison 18,
Part 7, Streets and Highways Code, State of California), and to levy
assessments.
7. AUTHORIZE the City Clerk, upon establishment of the District, to
prepare, execute and administer a contract between the City of Los
Angeles and the Little Tokyo Steering Committee, a non-profit
corporation, for the administration of the District’s programs.
8. DIRECT the City Clerk to comply with the notice, protest, and hearing
procedures prescribed in the Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation
Act (California Government Code Section 53750, et seq.).
9. REQUEST the City Attorney, with the assistance of the City Clerk, to
prepare an enabling Ordinance establishing the District for City Council
consideration at the conclusion of the required public hearing.
10. AUTHORIZE the Controller, upon establishment of the District, to
establish a special trust fund within FMS entitled “Little Tokyo Business
Improvement District”, and assign a new revenue source code, if needed,
to this special fund.
Fiscal Impact Statement:
The City Clerks reports that the assessment levied on the City-owned
properties within the District to be paid from the General Fund total
$359,944.76 for the first year of the District. Funding is available in the
Business Improvement District Trust Fund 659 to pay the General Fund share
of the assessment for the first operating year. Proposition 218 requires the
separation of general benefits from the special benefits. The general benefit
portion for the District is $30,102.48 (2% of the total budget) 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 five-year
term. |

HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS COMMITTEE REPORT relative to
strategies for Time Limited Subsidies (TLS).
Recommendations for Council action:
1. NOTE and FILE the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA)
report dated December 2, 2024, attached to Council file No. 24-0996,
inasmuch as no further Council action is required at this time.
2. REQUEST the LAHSA, with assistance of the City Administrative Officer,
to collaborate with service providers and report to Council with analysis
and recommendations on the following:
a. A cost/benefit analysis of possible expansion of the City’s
investment in the TLS Program. What is the highest and best use of
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.
b. What is needed to train and retain the workforce needed to make
the TLS Program a success, particularly in light of LAHSA contracts
beginning to require in-person case management every week for
the first three months.
c. What is needed to address waiting times to get access to the TLS
Program? How long does it take for a person experiencing
homelessness to receive a TLS slot, if eligible, once they are
enrolled in housing navigation? Are people stuck in housing
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?
d. Provide recommendations to find more solutions to build income for
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.
e. How can you meaningfully measure the success of housing
navigation as an intervention?
