Requests for reasonable modification or accommodation from individuals with disabilities, consistent with the Americans
with Disabilities Act can be made by contacting the City Clerk's Office at (213) 978-1133. For Telecommunication Relay
Services for the hearing impaired, please see the information below.
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.

BASIC CITY COUNCIL MEETING RULES
AGENDAS - The City Council meets Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at 10:00 A.M. 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 - July 27, 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.
NOTICE TO PAID REPRESENTATIVES - If you are compensated to monitor, attend, or speak at this meeting, City
law may require you to register as a lobbyist and report your activity. See Los Angeles Municipal Code 48.01 et seq.
More information is available at ethics.lacity.org/lobbying. For assistance, please contact the Ethics Commission at (213)
978-1960 or ethics.commission@lacity.org.
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.

consideration. If an ordinance does not receive the necessary unanimous vote, it is laid over one calendar week. The
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.
When debate on an item is completed, the Chair will instruct the Clerk to "call the roll". Every member present must vote
for or against each item; abstentions are not permitted. The Clerk will announce the votes on each item. Any member
of Council may move to "reconsider" any vote on any item on the agenda, except to adjourn, suspend the Rules, or
where an intervening event has deprived the Council of jurisdiction, providing that said member originally voted on the
prevailing side of the item. The motion to "reconsider" shall only be in order once during the meeting, and once during the
next regular meeting. The member requesting reconsideration shall identify for all members present the agenda number,
Council file number and subject matter previously voted upon. A motion to reconsider is not debatable and shall require
an affirmative vote of eight (8) members of the Council.
When the Council has failed by sufficient votes to approve or reject an item, and has not lost jurisdiction over the matter,
or has not caused it to be continued beyond the next regular meeting, the item is continued to the next regular meeting
for the purpose of allowing the Council to again vote on the matter.
The City Council rules provide that all items adopted by the Council will not be presented to the Mayor, or other designated
officer by the City Clerk until the adjournment of the regular Council meeting following the date of the Council action.
A motion to send an item "forthwith" if adopted by ten (10) votes, suspends these rules and requires the City Clerk to
forward the matter to the Mayor, or other officer, without delay.

forward the matter to the Mayor, or other officer, without delay.
RULE 16 MOTIONS - Council Rule No. 16, in part, allows a member to send an item directly to the Council without it
having to go to a Council Committee first, by giving the City Clerk a motion (seconded by an additional member) during
a Council session to be placed on the next regular available Council agenda.
