For Telecommunication Relay Services for the hearing impaired, please see the information located on page 2 of this agenda. Telecommunication Relay Services Telephone communication is one of the most important forms of communication in society today. Due to advancements in technology, telephone devices have evolved with new services and capabilities. Individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing, and individuals with a speech disability are following these trends and are rapidly migrating to more advanced telecommunications methods, both for peer-to-peer and third-party telecommunications relay service (TRS) communications. Telecommunications Relay Service is a telephone service that allows persons with hearing or speech disabilities to place and receive telephone calls. TRS is available in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. territories for local and/or long distance calls. TRS providers - generally telephone companies - are compensated for the costs of providing TRS from either a state or a federal fund. There is no cost to the TRS user. What forms of TRS are available?There are several forms of TRS, depending on the particular needs of the user and the equipment available: TRS includes: Text to Voice TIY-Based TRS; Speech-to-Speech Relay Service; Shared Non-English Language Relay Service; Captioned Telephone Relay Service; Internet Protocol Relay Service; and Video Relay Service. Please visit this site for detail descriptions, https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/telecommunications-relay-service-trs. Don't hang up! Some people hang up on TRS calls because they think the CA is a telemarketer. If you hear, "Hello. This is the relay service .. . " when you pick up the phone, please don't hang up! You are about to talk, through a TRS provider, to a person who is deaf, hard-of-hearing, or has a speech disability. For more information about FCC programs to promote access to telecommunications services for people with disabilities, visit the FCC's Disability Rights Office website.

The agendas for City Council meetings contain a brief general description of those items to be considered at the meetings. Council Agendas are available in the Office of the City Clerk, Council and Public Services Division, Room 395, City Hall, 200 North Spring Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012, and on the City's website at lacity.org; or lacouncilcalendar.com. Ten (10) members of the Council constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The Council may consider an item not listed on the agenda only if it is determined by a two-thirds (10) vote that the need for action arose after the posting of an Agenda. Some items on the agenda may be approved without any discussion, however, any item may be called "special" by a Councilmember. If an item is called "special" it will be "held" until the remainder of the items on the Council agenda have been acted on by the Council. An item may also be called "special" if a member of the public has requested to speak on the item and a public hearing was not previously held. The City Clerk will announce the items to be considered by the Council, however items will be grouped. For example, all items for which required public hearings have not previously been held are listed in one section on the printed agenda. The Council President will ask if any Councilmember or member or the public wishes to speak on one or more of these items. If anyone wishes to speak on an item, it will be called "special". The remaining items in this section will be voted on by Council with one roll call vote. PUBLIC INPUT AT CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS - An opportunity for the public to address the Council on agenda items for which public hearings have not been held will be provided at the time the item is considered or during the Multiple Agenda Item Comment period. Members of the public who wish to speak on items shall be allowed to speak for up to one minute per item up to a total of three minutes per meeting. The Council has determined that a cumulative total of 20 minutes is a reasonable minimum amount of time for the Multiple Agenda Item segment of each regular meeting. The Council will also provide an opportunity for the public to speak on public interest items. Each speaker shall be limited to one minute of general public comment each regular meeting for a cumulative total of ten (10) minutes. The Council shall not discuss or take action relative to any general public comment. If you wish to provide documents to the full Council for consideration on an item, please present the Sergeant-At-Arms with 35 copies. Otherwise, your materials will simply be added to the official record. COUNCIL DISCUSSION AND TIME LIMITS - Councilmembers requesting to address the Council will be recognized by the Council President in the order requested. For any item, the Chairperson of the Committee, or the maker of the original motion, or the member calling a matter "special" shall have up to six (6) minutes to discuss the item. All other Councilmembers may speak up to three (3) minutes each on the matter. After all members desiring to speak on a question have had an opportunity to be heard once, the time for each Member desiring to speak again shall be limited to a maximum of three (3) minutes. A motion calling the "previous question" may be introduced by any member during a Council debate. If adopted, this motion will terminate debate on a matter and the Chair will instruct the Clerk to call the roll on the matter. VOTING AND DISPOSITION OF ITEMS - Most items require a majority vote of the entire membership of the Council (8 members). Items which have not been discussed in a Council Committee and have been placed directly on the agenda will require 10 votes to consider. Once considered, these items will normally require eight (8) affirmative votes to be adopted. Ordinances require a unanimous vote (at least 12 members must be present) in order to be adopted on first consideration. If an ordinance does not receive the necessary unanimous vote, it is laid over one calendar week. The Wednesday - March 30, 2022 - PAGE 3 votes required for approval on second consideration vary and depend upon the type of ordinance, but a typical ordinance requires eight (8) affirmative votes upon second consideration.

Recommendation for Council action: REQUEST the City Attorney to draft a revised ordinance relative to adding Sections 46.90.1 and 46.90.2 to the Los Angeles Municipal Code to limit the sale of flavored tobacco products and amending Sections 41.50, 46.90, 46.91,46.92, 46.93, 46.97, 46.98, 46.99, 47.14, and 63.44 of the LAMC to update various provisions related to tobacco retailing with the following changes: 1. Revise 41.50(C)(a) as follows: Any business with an Outdoor Dining Area as defined in Section 41.50 A.3.a, shall post no-smoking signs of sufficient number to ensure that the no-smoking prohibition is clearly visible and readable to patrons in the Outdoor Dining Area and to persons passing outdoors within 10 feet of the Outdoor Dining Area. The no-smoking signs shall state in size 14 font or larger, “No Smoking in this Outdoor Dining Area or within 10 feet of this Outdoor Dining Area.” 2. Revise 46.90(d) as follows: (d) “Flavored Tobacco Product” shall mean any Tobacco Product that imparts a taste or smell, other than the taste or smell of tobacco, that is distinguishable by an ordinary consumer either prior to, or during the consumption of, a Tobacco Product, including, but not limited to, any taste or smell relating to fruit, menthol, mint, wintergreen, chocolate, cocoa, vanilla, honey, molasses, or any candy, dessert, alcoholic beverage, herb, or spice. A public statement or claim made or disseminated by the Tobacco Retailer or manufacturer of a Tobacco Product, or by any person authorized or permitted by the Tobacco Retailer or manufacturer to Wednesday - March 30, 2022 - PAGE 21  make or disseminate public statements concerning such Tobacco Product, that such Tobacco Product imparts a taste or smell other than tobacco shall constitute presumptive evidence that a Tobacco Product is a Flavored Tobacco Product. 3. Revise 46.90(l) as follows: “Tobacco Retailer” shall mean any person or Proprietor who Sells, offers for Sale, or exchanges or offers to exchange a Tobacco Product to consumers for any form of consideration. Tobacco Retailing shall mean engaging in any of the above activities. The definitions here are without regard to the quantity of Tobacco Product sold, offered for Sale, exchanged, or offered for exchange and without regard to whether the Sale is wholesale or retail. 4. Revise 46.97(b) as follows: The transfer or Sale of a Hookah Lounge in the possession of a valid Tobacco Retailer’s Permit issued prior to the effective date of this ordinance does not automatically transfer the Tobacco Retailer’s Permit associated with the Hookah Lounge. However, the transferee or prospective purchaser may apply for a new Tobacco Retailer’s Permit and, if approved, will be deemed to first have been issued the Tobacco Retailer’s Permit for purposes of Section 46.90.1(c) prior to the effective date of this section. 5. Remove presumption in section 46.90.1(b) which can be interpreted as making possession of flavored tobacco a crime. The focus of the enforcement is on tobacco retailers (brick and mortar stores). Therefore, I propose we replace 46.90.1(a) with the following language: (a) Pursuant to Section 46.91, tobacco products may only be sold at a location which has been issued a City Tobacco Retailer’s Permit. It shall be unlawful to Sell or offer for Sale, or possess with the intent to Sell, any Flavored Tobacco Product at a permitted tobacco retailing location. 6. Revise 46.90(k)(1) in light of the rise of synthetic tobacco and synthetic nicotine products that would otherwise be left unregulated, as follows: Any product or products containing, made of, or derived from tobacco or nicotine whether natural or synthetic that is intended for human consumption or is likely to be consumed, whether inhaled, absorbed, or ingested by any means, including, but not limited to, a cigarette, a cigar, or a pipe and also includes chewing tobacco, snuff, or snus. 7. Add 46.90(k)(4): Any substance intended for smoking in a hookah pipe and marketed or labeled as a synthetic or non-tobacco Shisha Product whether or not the product contains nicotine. Wednesday - March 30, 2022 - PAGE 22  8. Remove section 46.90.2 (d) 9. Remove section 46.90.2 (f) 10. Remove section 46.90.2 (g) 11. Replace 46.90.2(h) with the following: Any Hookah Lounge that permits indoor smoking must have a stand-alone ventilation system that is not shared with any other business or any other portion of the building in which the Hookah Lounge is located. 12. The operative date of the ordinance shall be January 1, 2023. Hookah Lounges in existence as of the effective date of this ordinance shall be considered grandfathered in.
