Due to unforeseen contractual issues, the project was not executed during the required public services cap period. To address the matter, the project is funded in the 4gth Program Year (2022-23). Council District 8, in consultation with the Department of Recreation & Parks, proposes to utilize a portion of the CDBG funds allocated to the Mount Tabor Shower Trailer project to implement various park improvements, including the replacement of the playground surface area at Martin Luther King, Jr. Park. To allow these efforts to proceed as soon as possible, the Council should approve the reprogramming of CDBG funds from the Mount Tabor Shower Trailer project to support the Martin Luther King, Jr. Park project. I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council, subject to the approval of the Mayor, authorize the Community Investment for Families Department to: 1. Reprogram $440,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds included in the Program Year 47 (2021-22) Consolidated Plan from the Mount Tabor Shower Trailer project line item to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Park project line item. 2. Effectuate an amendment to the Consolidated Plan, if necessary. 3. Prepare additional technical corrections and/or Controller instructions that may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this Motion, subject to the approval of the Chief Legislative Analyst, and authorize the Controller to implement these instructions.

This approach enables the City to respond with services and assistance while also ensuring that first responders are available to answer emergency incidents. The potential positive impact to public safety resources is significant: in 2020, there were over 79,759 calls for service to 9-1-1 dispatch consisting of welfare checks, conflict resolution and non-violent mental health crisis incidents. The City has a goal of creating an unarmed model of crisis response that diverts non-violent calls for service away from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) to unarmed trained practitioners and clinicians. In recent years, the City has made substantial investments in developing sustainable alternative responses, notably including: Domestic Abuse Response Team (DART), Mental Evaluation Unit (MEU), System-wide Mental Assessment Response Team (SMART), Call Direction to Ensure Suicide Safety (CRESS), 9-8-8 Suicide and Crisis Line, Therapeutic Van Pilot Program, and Crisis and Incident Response through Community-Led Engagement (CIRCLE). In January 2022, the CIRCLE Program began diverting 9-1-1 non-violent calls for service in Hollywood and Venice to unarmed crisis response teams. With CIRCLE, the City is investing in street-based community engagement and de-escalation, while also connecting people experiencing homelessness to appropriate health, mental health and housing services. CIRCLE also ensures coordination between service agencies, law enforcement, and 9-1-1 I other dispatch centers; the program's success has resulted in an increased budget and expansion to Downtown Los Angeles, South Los Angeles and parts of the Valley. An additional effort to phase pilots into permanent P!ograms is. exhibited with the Therapeutic Van Pilot Program (CF: 20-1178-S2). This joint program betw~en the 'city arid Gounty dispatches mental health specialists that can provide more appropriate mental hea1th trea<t:ment. Early results show that in more than 60% of incidents the mental health st<~ff has successfully transported patients to mental health care facilities. Noting the various models that exist, now is the time for the City to finalize development ofa <; systematic crisis-response plan, fully repl_a~ing ,l~w (,mforcemer{t pres~pye in ndn-~iole11t"' non-criminal situations with a range ;o"f11narmea servtce prbvic.lers. CO~bio..if shoulcffilii:fy- t:h~ various alternative response models in order to ensure proper coordination with the City's public safety agencies such as the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) and the LAPD, and support the City's capabilities across emergency management sectors through the Emergency Management Department (EMD). A new City agency or office will be needed to lead, coordinate, and further develop existing unarmed crisis response programs that advance the Council and Mayoral priorities to continue re-imagining public safety in Los Angeles. · This effort should reflect the additional unarmed crisis response teams that may result as part of the Request for Proposals initiated under (CF: 20-0769), and any changes to the City-County contractual relationship for health and mental health services (CF: 20-0769-S2). WE THEREFORE MOVE that the City Administrative Officer, with the assistance of the Chief Legislative Analyst, and all necessary Departments, report to Council with recommendations to create an Office of Unarmed Response and Safety to be established under an appropriately defined department, including but not limited to: • A "City of Los Angeles Unarmed Response," resulting in a comprehensive long term plan to ensure appropriate staffing and funding for the 2417 unarmed response; • That this office ensure 24/7 coordination and deployment of unarmed response specialists for non-violent calls for service; • Strategies to improve coordination between agencies that would address barriers for serving high-need communities; • Collaboration with public safety agencies, especially 9-1-1 dispatch; • Consideration of policy or resource impacts related to CF: 20-0769, and CF: 20-0769-S2; • Include a comprehensive assessment of all alternative response models, metrics, and deployment to ensure efficiency in service from CIRCLE, LAPD, LAFD and LA County Department of Mental Health initiatives, such as the System-wide Mental Assessment Response Team (SMART), 9-8-8 suicide and crisis lifeline, the Call Direction to Ensure Suicide Safety (CRESS), Therapeutic Van Pilot Program, and the Domestic Abuse Response Team (DART), be incorporated into this effort PRESENTED BY: ;);[_ ~/...:.._ Councilmember, 14th District Councilmember rd District Councilmember, 9th District - - · SECONDED BY: AUG 2 4 2022  PUBLIC SAFETY . MOTION In the summer of 2020, tens of thousands of Angelenos took to the streets after the murder of George Floyd to demand a reimagining and transformation of our public safety system-both nationally and locally. Over the past two years, the City of Los Angeles has responded by taking several important initial steps to shift responsibility for calls related to homelessness and emergency crisis response to unarmed, civilian personnel and to implement alternatives for traffic safety enforcement that do not rely on armed law enforcement. The pilot programs the City has launched in these areas are in various stages of development. The Call Redirection to Ensure Suicide Safety (CRESS) Program, which diverts non-imminent suicide calls to the Didi Hirsch Mental Health Crisis Call Center, launched in February 2021 and has successfully diverted over 1,931 calls, resulting in nearly 10,000 hours of patrol time saved. In January 2022, the Crisis and Incident Response through Community-Led Engagement (CIRCLE) program began diverting some 9-1-1 calls related to homelessness in Hollywood away from law enforcement to trained, unarmed teams of outreach workers and mental or behavioral health clinicians. And in the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 budget, Mayor Garcetti increased the program's funding from $3 million to $8 million so that it can begin operating in other parts of the City. Also in January 2022, the Fire Department's Therapeutic Transportation Program, which dispatches mental health workers to some 9-1-1 calls for emergency assistance in nonviolent situations, began at Fire Station #4 in the Civic Center area with plans to expand shortly to four other locations. Other programs are still in the contracting or development stage and have yet to begin. In October of 2020, the City Council adopted a report from the Ad Hoc Committee on Police Refonn to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking non-profit partners to implement a pilot program for mobile crisis response modeled after the Crisis Assistance Helping Out On The Streets (CAHOOTS) Program in Eugene, Oregon (C.F. 20-0769). The City Administrative Officer (CAO) is currently reviewing bids received in response to the RFP. And finally, the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) is in the process of working with a consultant and advisory task force to develop programmatic recommendations for implementing alternative models and methods for transportation. policy objectives such as traffic enforcement and moving violation/vehicle code enforcement that do not rely on armed law enforcement personnel. While the City has made important progress with all of these programs, a multi-year plan for how the City's pilots will work together and expand has yet to be developed. The CAO and Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA) are currently in the process of reporting back on the budgets, program details, and outcomes for all current unarn1ed crisis response programs pursuant to Council 1t Martinez's recent motion · Council File 20-0769-SS. This report will provide rrent status of the City's work to reimagine public safety. To  build upon it and to guide this work going forward, the City must begin to take a long-term view of this transition in our public safety system. Doing so will also constitute a practical response to LAPD's staffing challenges, which are projected to be ongoing. I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the City Administrative Officer, with the assistance of relevant City departments and external consultants, as needed, to report back within 180 days with a multi-year transition plan to shift responsibility for nonviolent calls related to homelessness and emergency crisis response to unarmed, civilian personnel-and, pending the results of the study being conducted pursuant to Council File 20-0875, to implement alternative models and methods for traffic safety enforcement that do not rely on armed law enforcement to the extent deemed feasible. This plan should include a year-by-year expansion (and potential consolidation) plan for the pilots the City has already launched or is currently developing, the necessary budget allocations that should be reserved in the City's budget for this purpose each fiscal year, and an analysis of whether and, if so, how all of these public safety services should eventually be brought under the purview of City departments rather than external providers. I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council instruct the City Administrative Officer to report to Council on a regular basis with adjustments and additions to the aforementioned multi-year transition plan, as needed, and with status reports on implementation.
