ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE REPORT relative to
budget adjustments and funding considerations for the Fiscal Year
(FY) 2025-26 Proposition O Program.
Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL
OF THE MAYOR:
1. APPROVE the Master Schedule for FY 2025-26 in Attachment 1
of the City Administrative Officer (CAO) report dated December
17, 2025, attached to the Council file.
2. APPROVE the Proposition O staffing appropriation for FY 2025-
26 up to $3,768,167 for the Bureau of Contract Administration
(BCA), Bureau of Engineering (BOE), and Bureau of Sanitation
(BOS) to continue project implementation (Attachment 2 of said
CAO report).
a. AUTHORIZE the Controller to reimburse the funding
source(s) that are used to front-fund staffing costs for
Proposition O Program for FY 2025-26, subject to the
approval of the invoices stated in the table provided by the
CAO in said report.
b. REQUEST authorization from the Controller to transfer

reimbursement invoices by the CAO.
3. AUTHORIZE the CAO, in coordination with the BOE and BOS,
to make technical corrections as needed to the above
recommendations to implement Mayor and Council intentions.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that there will be no impact

General Obligation Bond Fund. Operations and maintenance costs
cannot be paid for from General Obligation bonds and will therefore
be addressed through the City's annual budgeting process.
Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the
recommendations above comply with the City’s Financial Policies as
funding for the proposed projects is provided primarily from bond
proceeds which are supported by voter-approved property tax
revenue. |

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. |

COMMUNICATION FROM THE CITY ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER
relative to amending Chapter 14 – Deferred Compensation Plan, of the
Los Angeles Administrative Code (LAAC) to allow for an employer
contribution to an employee’s Deferred Compensation Plan 457(b)
retirement savings account.
Recommendation for Council action:
REQUEST the City Attorney to prepare and present an Ordinance
amending Chapter 14 – Deferred Compensation Plan, of the LAAC to
allow for an employer contribution to an employee’s Deferred
Compensation Plan 457(b) retirement savings account.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Administrative Officer reports that
developing the details of the proposed Plan amendment and
associated implementation steps will cost an estimated $250,000,
including set up and reprogramming fees to the Plan record keeper,
consulting costs, and staffing reimbursement expenses. The Los
Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) has pledged to
contribute $150,000, with the difference coming from the General
Fund. The General Fund will not be impacted beyond the preparation
of Plan design changes and initial implementation steps; once the
employer contribution feature is enacted, expenses will be part of
ongoing operating costs for the Plan. The funds for the employer
contribution amounts themselves will be borne solely by LADWP. |

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. |
