It is estimated that the LA Zoo welcomes nearly 1.8 million visitors per year. Visiting a zoo offers several learning opportunities for people of all ages. By visiting zoos, children begin to understand the importance of taking care of the environment as it has a significant impact on the lives and welfare of animals. Zoo programming also helps children learn about the various species of animals that exist in the world. Additionally, visiting a zoo teaches families about the importance of conservation and animal care. A visit to the LA Zoo can be especially difficult for low income students and households as the cost of getting there from geographically separated neighborhoods and the cost of admission per person can quickly add up. Currently, there are several museums and gardens in Southern California that offer free general admission on an annual, monthly, or even weekly or evening's basis. Free general admission days allow those who would otherwise not be able to afford the experience to take advantage of these learning opportunities. I THEREFORE MOVE that the Zoo Department be REQUESTED to report on existing low income programs and potential new options to increase access to the Los Angeles Zoo, including free or discounted admission days, partnerships with sponsoring entities, free or subsidized transportation, discounted memberships, and any other options available to the Los ·Angeles Zoo that would not greatly impact anticipated revenue. Councilmember, 12th District AUG 1 9 2022 SECONDED BY:~  ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT & JOBS MOTION On August 14, 2022, an individual attacked a sidewalk vending location at the intersection of Canoga Avenue and Dumetz Road in Woodland Hills with an ax. It has been reported that the same individual attacked another vendor in May 2022. There have reports of increasing numbers of similar attacks in other parts of Los Angeles and Southern California. These incidents often are not directed solely at the vending activity, but are accompanied by obvious anti-Latino and anti-immigrant language. This sort of hateful vigilantism is illegal and immoral. While these attacks clearly violate existing laws, it is also clear that they target a vulnerable population. I THEREFORE MOVE that the Chief Legislative Analyst, with the assistance of the Bureau of Street Services, the Civil+ Human Rights and Equity Department, the City Attorney and the Los Angeles Police Department, instructed to report within 30 days on: 1. Existing laws and policies that apply to actual or threatened violence, or intimidating behavior or language, aimed at sidewalk vendors; and 2. Recommendations for additional laws or policies, including enhanced penalties, to deter and punish attacks on sidewalk vendors; and 3. Strategies for effective enforcement of existing or new laws or policies to protect sidewalk vendors. ? 1 C> ~ •u AUG 1 9 2022  MOTION INFORMATION, TECHNOLOGY AND GENERAL SERVICE~ The Avalon Arts & Culture Alliance is a non-profit organization dedicated to painting a positive picture in the community of Wilmington through the arts.
