ARTS, PARKS, HEALTH, EDUCATION, &NEIGHBORHOOu MOTION The first case of monkeypox in humans was reported in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the 1970s. Today, monkeypox is endemic in West and Central Africa. While it was previously rare in other parts of the world, since early May 2022, monkeypox has been rapidly spreading across the globe, including into the Los Angeles region. According to health experts, monkeypox is transmitted through close physical contact, usually with bodily fluids, such as saliva, or through respiratory droplets during prolonged face- to-face contact. People most at risk are those with intimate contact with an infected person, as well as family members or health care workers caring for someone with an active infection. Currently, there is no specific treatment for monkeypox but public health experts have said that, currently, most infections are mild and get better on their own. Yet, as the world has experienced with COVID-19, an out-of-control infectious disease can mutate into deadlier or more transmissible forms. With infections having spread into at least 75 countries, the World Health Organization says the expanding monkeypox outbreak now qualifies as a global emergency, requiring a coordinated international response. As of July 27, 2022, 4,639 cases have been confirmed across the United States, including 799 in California. In New York City, there were more than 1,040 documented cases of monkeypox though experts say that the true number of infections is far higher because testing has been limited. According to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, monkeypox infections have also been increasing locally, with 261 cases confirmed as of July 27. And a growing percentage. of patients are attributable to local community spread rather than global travel. There have been no reported hospitalizations or deaths in Los Angeles County to date. While monkeypox was spreading in New York City and across the country, the New York Times reports that 300,000 vaccine doses, owned by the United States, sat unused in a lab in Denmark. An opportunity to halt the spread early was missed. The tepid national response has been compared to the early days of the AIDS epidemic, where, because gay or bisexual men were the ones initially identified as being most infected, the government failed to act in the timely, aggressive way that could have saved the lives of thousands of gay and bisexual men. While no one in the U.S. has died from monkeypox to date, this is a rapidly-spreading contagion. If monkeypox is not contained, it may become endemic, as it is in Africa. To combat the virus, L.A. County has received 24,042 monkeypox vaccine doses and is expected to get additional doses from national supplies in August. These are available to those at highest risk of exposure; yet, the current supply will likely be insufficient to inoculate all who want the vaccine. Vaccine eligibility is currently restricted to people with high or intermediate- risk of contact with a confirmed case, those who have attended an event/venue where there was high risk of exposure to a confirmed case, and other gay or bisexual men and transgender persons with specified risk factors. It is essential that Los Angeles County advocate to address the supply and vaccine access problems immediately. JUL 2 9 2022 AO~  A focus on education, community engagement, rapid production and effective distribution of testing and vaccines, particularly among the most affected populations, could be effective in limiting spread and ultimately preventing a larger epidemic. I THEREFORE MOVE that the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health be REQUESTED to report to the City Council on the ongoing monkeypox health emergency, including but not limited to: 1) The medical/health-related symptoms of monkeypox. 2) Ongoing and planned public information campaigns intended to educate and alert Angelenos to the symptoms of monkeypox, care and available treatment for the virus, vaccine supplies and eligibility for the vaccine, and the steps that need to be taken to receive a vaccine. 3) The available supply of monkeypox vaccinations as well as any bottlenecks the State and County have encountered in their efforts to secure additional supplies from the federal government. 4) Current vaccine prioritization/eligibility policies, types of vaccines currently available to Los Angeles County residents. 5) How the County of Los Angeles' vaccine prioritization policies and vaccine administration compares to other large municipalities, such as the City of New York.

Businesses located in these zones are eligible .to obtain a variety of incentives including case management of the City development permit process, permit fee reductions, business consulting, and facade improvements, among others. Pursuant to the JEDI Zone policy, zones must meet primary or secorn;lary eligibility criteria, be reviewed by the Economic and Workforce Development Department (EWDD), and receive approval from the City Council and Mayor. Once the request to form a JEDI Zone is received, EWDD will conduct a baseline assessment of the area based on the qualifying criteria. Requests will be processed in the order received. If a proposed JEDI Zone is found to be eligible, EWDD will analyze the area under the secondary needs criteria to assign priority areas within the proposed zone. Highest priority within an eligible zone will be assigned to areas meeting more of the secondary needs criteria in comparison to other areas within the same zone. After completing the baseline and secondary needs assessments, EWDD will submit a transmittal to the City Council with findings and recommendations concerning the creation of the zone. Established zones will expire after five years unless extended for an additional five years. The maximum duration of a JEDI Zone will be 10 years. Crenshaw Boulevard has numerous small businesses that provide critical goods and services to the community. Significant public investments are also under construction on this key thoroughfare, such as Destination Crenshaw and the forthcoming Metro Crenshaw/LAX Line. The JEDI Zone program presents an opportunity to leverage these activities to further support small businesses and job creation on Crenshaw Boulevard as well as other communities throughout the Council District. I THEREFORE MOVE that the Economic and Workforce Development Department be directed to evaluate the following areas as a JEDI Zone and report to the Council with findings and recommendations on creation of the zone: • The businesses located on: (1) Crenshaw Boulevard, with the northern boundary of Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and the southern boundary of 60'h Street. (2) Western Boulevard, with the northern boundary of Exposition Boulevard and the southern boundary of Gage Avenue. (3) The area bounded by Manchester Avenue to the north, Imperial Highway to the south, Vermont Avenue to the west, and Broadway to the east. MARQUEECE HARRIS-DAWSON JUL 2 9 2022 h:,~  MOTION HOUSING Lead-based paints were used in residential homes until 1978 making any homes built before 1979 likely to have lead-based paint. According to the 2018 American Community Survey, there are 1,123,726 units built before 1979 in the City of Los Angeles that likely have lead-based paint. This equates to 75 percent of the total housing stock. When the paint peels and cracks, it makes lead paint chips and dust, which are easily ingested by children. Exposure to lead can seriously harm a child's health, including damage to the brain and nervous system, slowed growth and development, learning and behavior problems, and hearing and speech problems. Children under age six are the most severely affected by lead. For over 20 years, Los Angeles Housing Department(LAHD) has abated lead-based paint hazards from low-income households, remediating a total of 2,335 units. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HUD-Office of Lead Hazard Control Healthy & Homes released the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO )(Number FR-6600-N-13) on June 17, 2022, CFDA number 14.905 Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program; Opportunity Title: Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program, with the deadline to apply of August 08, 2022. Due to the time constraint the LAHD was not able to do a rule 23 motion to request authority to apply, enter into negotiation, and accept the grant. LAHD is currently implementing the 12th round of HUD funding for the Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program(LHRP). LAHD plans to apply for a maximum award of $6.5 million for Lead Hazard Reduction. The award will be used to remediate lead hazards in housing units occupied by low-income tenants and owners with children under the age of six years who either live on the property or visit frequently. I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council AUTHORIZE the General Manager of LAHD, or designee, to apply, accept and execute the new grant agreement with HUD, including all certifications and other required documents. I FURTHER MOVE that LAHD report back upon notice of the award to present the grant agreement and provide details on program design, staffing needs, Controller's instructions, and other relevant information for review and approval. C q7:?7ismct .INE'- • SECONDEDBY: ~~ JUL29~ ~· "-711. ~  PUBLIC WORKS MOTION The newly opened Sixth Street Viaduct is the latest monument for the City of Los Angeles. The $588 million viaduct connects Boyle Heights to the Arts District and provides expansive views of Downtown LA's skyline and ample space for walking and biking across the LA River. Since the new viaduct opened on July 10th, tens of thousands of people have visited it to experience its splendor. While the vast majority of people who have visited the bridge obey the law, a select group of individuals have taken the opportunity to climb the arches and cables, perform street takeovers, and do other dangerous activities in order to gain social media clout. The actions of these individuals have inhibited the general public's ability to enjoy the bridge and have caused a significant drain on LAPD's resources - with the department having to shut down the bridge in order to preserve public safety. The city must act immediately to ensure that any additional safety mitigations are installed quickly and that adequate staffing resources are made available to preserve public safety. Additionally, laws must be clarified so it is clear what actions are illegal to do on the new viaduct. I THEREFORE MOVE that the Bureau of Engineering be instructed to report back on the resources needed and a timeline in order to install cameras, improved fencing and anti-climbing devices, median treatments and rumble strips, signage, and any other interventions as recommended in order to increase public safety on the viaduct. I FURTHER MOVE that the Los Angeles Police Department, in coordination with the Department of Transportation, report back with a staffing plan that dedicates resources specifically to maintain public safety and traffic flow on the new viaduct. I FURTHER MOVE that the Department of Recreation and Parks, in coordination with the Los Angeles Police Department and Bureau of Sanitation, report with a security, staffing, and maintenance plan for the new Sixth Street Viaduct and Sixth Street Viaduct PARC. I FURTHER MOVE that the City Administrative Officer report on the resources needed to close the bridge periodically to vehicular traffic and to allow for pedestrian and bicycle access only. I FURTHER MOVE that the City Attorney be requested to prepare and present an ordinance, with an urgency clause, that prohibits accessing areas outside of the bridge fencing, defacing the viaduct, street takeovers, drag racing, dangerous driving practices, the stopping of motorized vehicles, and participating in any activity that blocks the viaduct's vehicular travel lanes without a permit.
