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.

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.
