Residents along Western Avenue and Santa Monica Boulevard have reported a significant
uptick in human trafficking and prostitution along schools and daycares and directly in front of
residential properties along these two corridors in East Hollywood and Greater Wilshire.

these corridors while targeting the 'johns' who solicit their services for enforcement.
I THEREFORE MOVE that $100,800 be transferred/appropriated from the Council
District 13 portion of the "Neighborhood Service Enhancements" line item in the General City

In March 2021, a pilot program funded by Council District 5 and managed by the Bureau
of Street Services was completed utilizing the proprietary and patented concrete cutting technology
by Safe Sidewalks Incorporated DBA Precision Concrete Cutting (Precision Concrete Cutting).
The pilot program repaired 254 sidewalk locations within Council District 5.
The Westside Neighborhood Council in Council District 5 learned of the concrete cutting
pilot program performed by Precision Concrete Cutting and desires to implement the same type of
sidewalk repairs along Pico Boulevard between Patricia Avenue and the 405 Freeway, Westwood
Boulevard between Pico Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard, and along routes to Westwood
Charter Elementary School and Overland Elementary School.
The Council District 5 Avenue of the Stars Community Amenities Trust Fund No. 56C

concerns in the area of Council District 5 that is bounded by Century Park West and extended by
an imaginary line from the southern-most end of the Century Park West at Olympic Boulevard to
Pico Boulevard, Overland Avenue, the 10 Freeway, Sepulveda Boulevard, and Santa Monica
Boulevard. Funds are available to perform 239 repairs in the areas referenced above.
I THEREFORE MOVE that $60,000 in the Council District 5 Avenue of the Stars

LA Sanitation and Environment (LASAN) provides services to ensure the health and safety of our
residents, communities, and the environment. Critical services include collection and recycling of solid
resources materials for residential customers and City departments and collection, treatment and recycling
of wastewater to produce recycled water.
Based on analysis of current payroll records LASAN has determined that the Overtime General Account
does not contain an adequate balance to meet payroll for FY 2022-23. While a transfer of funds to meet
this need is anticipated in the CAO's 2022-23 First Year Financial Status Report, the timing of that report
will not meet LASAN's immediate payroll needs. Staff shortage and additional workload have
necessitated the use of overtime. The projected savings within LASAN's Fund 100 and Fund 508 are
sufficient to fully cover this transfer.
I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council, subject to the approval of the Mayor, authorize the
Controller to transfer funds within Fund 100/82 and Fund 508/50 Bureau of Sanitation as follows:

PUBUC WORKS
MOTION
The City of Los Angeles is home to the largest concentration of Salvadorans outside the
Republic of El Salvador, with an estimate of one million nationals who are inextricably linked to
their homeland.
The civil wars of Central America created the mass migration of mostly Salvadorans to the
United States. Since the 1980s, a large concentration of Salvadorans seeking refuge from these
conflicts have resettled in the City. The Salvadoran diaspora living in the City has become the
second largest Latino community in California, consolidating a great cultural and social influence.
Salvadorans have established themselves here by raising families, starting businesses, and
celebrating their culture in the Westlake, MacArthur Park, and Pico-Union neighborhoods of Los
Angeles and the area around Monsefior Romero Square, located at W. Pico Boulevard and
Vermont Avenue, is officially known as the historic core for Salvadorans in Los Angeles.
This area has become a popular site for sidewalk vendors and their patrons, forming an
informal Mercado Salvadorefio. Recognizing the vibrant contribution of Salvadoran immigrants
to the City enhances the visibility and representation of the Salvadoran community and lays a clear
framework to support cultural tourism, economic development, and public engagement in the
community. In order to support the local Salvadoran vendors, it is necessary for the City to develop
tools clearly outlining the City's vending policies and where vending is and is not allowed,
specifically within the El Salvador Corridor.
I THEREFORE MOVE that the Bureau of Street Services and the Bureau of Engineering
be instructed to develop interactive and publicly available maps that clearly show where vending
is and is not allowed within the City in order to support vendors within the El Salvador Corridor
in Council District 1 and vendors Citywide.

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.

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 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-

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

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.

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.
