Administrative Officer (CAO) report dated March 24, 2025, attached to
the Council file, which authorizes and approves the negotiation and
execution of certain agreements and amendments in connection with the
extension of the expiration dates of the existing LOC facilities supporting
the payment of commercial paper notes in the aggregate principal
amount of $425 million under the MICLA Lease Revenue CP Note
Program, and other documents and actions in connection with such
extensions and such CP Note Program.

which authorizes and approves the negotiation and execution of certain
agreements and amendments in connection with the extension of the
expiration date of the existing LOC facility supporting the payment of

such extension and such CP Note Program.
3. AUTHORIZE the CAO to make technical corrections and adjustments as
necessary to those transactions included in said CAO report to
implement the City Council and Mayor intentions.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that there is no additional impact to
the General Fund from the approval of the proposed recommendations as the
2024-25 Adopted Budget includes sufficient appropriations within the Capital
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
Programs will continue to be subject to City Council and Mayor approval.
Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the recommendations in
the report comply with the City’s Financial Policies in that all ongoing fees
related to the CP Programs are paid with ongoing revenues.
Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that, in accordance with the City’s
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
LOC facilities will be requested to be budgeted as part of the annual budget

TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT relative to modifying traffic signal
timing citywide to operate with dwell recall, Transit Signal Priority, or
preemption along at-grade rail lines, Bus Rapid Transit lines, and full-time and
part-time transit lanes, and related matters.
Recommendation for Council action, pursuant to Motion (Raman, et al. –
Harris-Dawson):
INSTRUCT the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) to:
a. Report to Council, in collaboration with the Los Angeles County
Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), within 60 days, with
guidelines establishing dwell recall for signals along at-grade rail lines
and Bus Rapid Transit lines.
b. Report to Council, within 120 days, with a draft policy and implementation
plan and timeline to modify signal timing citywide to operate traffic signals
with dwell recall, Transit Signal Priority, or preemption along at-grade rail
lines, Bus Rapid Transit lines, full-time transit lanes, and part-time transit
lanes, with the goal of reducing signal delay to transit vehicles and
reducing transit end-to-end travel times to the greatest extent possible.
The timeline should identify changes that can be made without new
equipment (such as implementing dwell recall) to be implemented as
soon as possible, followed by changes requiring equipment and larger
capital costs, such as improvements to Transit Signal Priority and
preemption. The report should also include a draft policy and
implementation plan to provide automatic pedestrian and cyclist phasing
for adjacent crosswalks, bike lanes, and bike paths that run parallel to the
direction of trains or buses in a separate lane or guideway.
c. Report to Council, within 180 days, with a “Transit First Policy” that
incorporates the above guidelines and policies and guides all future
design or modification of traffic signals citywide, with the adopted goal of
reducing signal delay to transit vehicles and reducing transit end-to-end
travel times as much as possible above all other considerations,
excepting safety. The Transit First Policy would also guide the LADOT to
work with Metro to upgrade to the type of signal prioritization or
preemption that best meets the travel time goals of the policy. The policy
should include a provision that deviations from these goals must be
justified based on specific findings, on a case-by-case basis.
d. Study how the impacts of the above policies proposed in this Motion
(Raman, et al. – Harris-Dawson) affect speeds and timetables for transit
services, and report this information to Council within one year of
adoption of the policies proposed in said Motion, attached to the Council
file.

RULES, ELECTIONS AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS
COMMITTEE REPORT relative to adopting changes to the Rules of the Los
Angeles City Council, Nos. 7 and 63.
Recommendation for Council action, pursuant to Motion (Harris-Dawson, et al.
– Price, et al.):
ADOPT, pursuant to Council Rule No. 77, the following changes to the Rules of
the Los Angeles City Council:
a. Add the following to the end of Council Rule No. 7:
Prohibition on Use of N-word and C-word Epithets
A public speaker may not use the N-word or C-word, or any variation of
either of these words, in a Council or Committee meeting. To avoid
ambiguity, the N-word is spelled "n" followed by "i" followed by "g"
followed by "g" followed by "e" followed by "r." The C-word is spelled "c"
followed by "u" followed by "n" followed by "t." Examples of variations of
these epithets include, but are not limited to, the words' plural forms and
words created by adding "-ish," "-y," "-ly" or "-ing" to create related
adjectives, adverbs, verbs, or gerundives. Public speakers are prohibited
from using the N-word and C-word and their variations even though the
speakers would use the words to express a non-offensive, non-vulgar
viewpoint. The first time a public speaker in a Council or Committee
meeting uses the N-word or C-word, or its variation, the staffing City
Attorney or presiding officer shall issue a warning to the public speaker
that the word and its variations are proscribed and may not be used
again in any Council or Committee meeting. If the speaker who received
the warning uses the word or its variation again in that or any future
Council or Committee meeting, the presiding officer shall re-issue the
order, note that the officer's need to stop the meeting to re-issue the
order has actually disrupted the meeting, and cut off the speaker's time to
speak for the remainder of that meeting. The disruptive speaker is
additionally subject to possible removal and exclusion as other provided
in this Rule.
b. Add the following to the end of Council Rule No. 63:
Prohibition on Use of N-word and C-word Epithets
Public speakers in Committee are subject to the same rules regarding
the N-word and C-word as provided in Council Rule No. 7.
[The Council may recess to Closed Session to confer with its legal
counsel relative to the above matter based on a significant
exposure to litigation, pursuant to Government Code Section
54956.9(d)(2) and (e)(3). (One potential case.)]
(Pursuant to Council Rule 77, an affirmative vote of two-thirds of all
members of the Council shall be necessary to amend these Rules.
Each proposed amendment shall be presented to the Council and
then laid over one week before it can be adopted.)
Fiscal Impact Statement: Neither the City Administrative Officer nor the Chief
Legislative Analyst has completed a financial analysis of this report. |

COMMUNICATION FROM THE LOS ANGELES CITY PLANNING
COMMISSION (LACPC) and APPEAL filed by West Valley Alliance for Optimal
Living (Representative: Jamie T. Hall, Esq., Channel Law Group, LLP) from the
Advisory Agency's determination, dated December 20, 2024, in approving a
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 83297 (map date-stamped June 7, 2024), for
the merger and re-subdivision of four parcels into 23 ground lots for the
construction of 21, two-story single-family residences, one caretaker's
residence, 20 percent reduction in front yard and side yard setback
requirements, and three model home lots; for the property located at 5300
North Oakdale Avenue. (The LACPC and the Applicant failed to mutually
agree on an extension of time for the first-level appellate body to act
beyond the specified 45 days, pursuant to Government Code Section
66452.5(c)(1) of the California Subdivision Map Act, and Los Angeles
Municipal Code Section 13A.2.8.F.2, if there is a failure for the appeal
board to render a timely decision on the appeal, then the decision shall
result in a denial of the appeal as a matter of law. As such, the appeal
filed on January 6, 2025, to the LACPC was deemed denied and the
determination of the Deputy Advisory Agency, dated December 20, 2024,
stands.) The project is within the scope of the 2021-2029 Housing Element

Enforcement Agency (LEA), to report to Council within 15 days on the
following:

no over-concentration of operations in the East Valley or other
historically burdened areas.
d. Haul Routes
i. Provide a detailed analysis of the haul routes being used to
transport debris out of fire-affected areas.
ii. Include measures to mitigate noise, air pollution, and safety
risks in communities along these routes.
e. Hazardous Waste Management
i. Outline how hazardous waste is being identified, packaged,
transported, and disposed of safely, ensuring compliance with
state and federal regulations.
ii. Note which permits and other regulations will be removed or
expedited as part of the recovery.
iii. Specify what safeguards are in place to protect communities
from potential exposure to hazardous materials.
f. Debris Composition and Management

or transported by entities outside of the City and under what
conditions.
g. City-owned Facilities in Fire Recovery
i. Identify any City-owned facilities that are being used as part
of fire recovery efforts, including for debris processing,
storage, or any other recovery-related operations.
ii. Provide a status update on the capacity, operations, and

removal efforts, specifying benchmarks for various phases of
the process.
2. INSTRUCT the BOS and the LADBS LEA to advocate for an equitable

processing. This includes identifying additional processing sites in less
impacted areas, and strategies that balance our urgent work to recover
and rebuild with our ongoing commitment to equity and environmental
justice.

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?

TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT relative to an evaluation and
recommendations to retain, repurpose, or remove peak-hour lanes.
Recommendations for Council action:
1. APPROVE the Los Angeles Department of Transportation’s (LADOT)
recommendations to retain, repurpose, or remove peak-hour lanes based
on the criteria outlined within the November 7, 2025 LADOT report,
attached to the Council file.
2. DIRECT the LADOT to:
a. Remove peak-hour lanes and restore parking on corridors that
operate below traffic volume thresholds to achieve immediate
safety benefits as defined in the November 7, 2025 LADOT report,
attached to the Council file, and identify which corridors can
accommodate bicycle lanes, subject to pavement quality
verification by the Bureau of Street Services.
b. Report to Council with an engagement plan and resources needed
to remove, repurpose, or retain peak-hour lanes on corridors that
operate above traffic volume thresholds.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The LADOT reports that it does not anticipate any
impact to the General Fund as a result of these recommendations, and will
report back with resources needed to further implement the next steps
included in the report. While removing peak-hour lanes may reduce the
number of citations issued on these corridors, parking enforcement officers
currently assigned to enforce peak-hour restrictions can be deployed to
address other parking violations throughout the City. The Special Parking
Revenue Fund may experience an increase in parking meter revenue since
peak-hour lanes limit the hours that parking meters can operate. With peak-
hour lanes removed or their hours reduced, the hours that parking meters can
operate increases. The LADOT calculated the maximum additional annual
revenue per corridor based on the report’s recommendations. The LADOT
derived these estimates based on the potential extra hours of meter operation,
100 percent occupancy, current meter rates based on time of day, and 249
non-holiday weekdays of operation per year. Based on this methodology, the
maximum annual increase in parking meter revenues from the recommended
peak-hour lane modifications is over $482,000 annually once all of the peak-
hour lanes are repurposed. |
