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 peer­to­peer and third­party 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 TIY­Based TRS; Speech­to­Speech Relay Service; Shared Non­English 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/telecommunications­relay­service­trs. 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, hard­of­hearing, or has a speech disability.

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 two­thirds (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 Sergeant­At­Arms 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.

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.

Fiscal Impact Statement: The BFC reports that the fiscal impact of the CAL­JAC reimbursement program directly affects the LAFD budget. The monies in the fund are expended towards the training of the LAFD's Paramedic and Firefighter personnel. They provide the necessary support services to accomplish the training, which may include, but are not limited to classrooms, instructors, fire apparatus, audiovisual equipment, books, and other instructional supplies that are not otherwise covered by the General Fund. Community Impact Statement: None submitted (13) 22­1431 PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) Special Training Fund No. 40J Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2021­22 (FY 21­22). Recommendation for Council action: APPROVE the Board of Fire Commissioners (BFC) report dated November 15, 2022, attached to Council file No. 22­1431, relative to the Training Fund No. 40J Annual Report for FY 21­22. Fiscal Impact Statement: The BFC reports that the fiscal impact of the State's annual training reimbursement to the LAFD is critical due to the cost of recurrent training fees that rise significantly each year, in addition to the expansion of LAFD training programs. If the Vocational Education Training funding was interrupted, numerous mandatory certifications and re­certifications could not occur within the LAFD budget and would need to be absorbed by the General Fund. Section 5.148 of the Los Angeles Administrative Code (LAAC) requires that revenue receipts in excess of $1.5 million be deposited into the General Fund, thus limiting funding to $1.5 million per year. This section was last revised in March of 2002 despite rising costs and the expansion of training programs. The East Los Angeles College and West Los Angeles College contracts are the vehicles that enable the LAFD to conduct mandatory training at applicable sites by providing LAFD certifications and college credits. A few examples of mandatory training requiring certifications and re­ certifications include mandatory state certifications for fire academy recruits and graduates, Urban Search and Rescue (USAR), Swift Water Rescue, fire station level member training, Disaster Preparedness, Hazmat, Arson and Counter­Terrorism, Pilot initial and recurrent certification programs, and training for recently promoted members. Fire Prevention, USAR, and Hazmat must recertify to existing Fire Code updates every alternate year, and all Chief Officers are mandated to certify Wednesday - January 11, 2023 - PAGE 13 or re­certify as Strike Team Leaders, Division Group Leaders, and Safety  Angeles College and West Los Angeles College contracts are the vehicles that enable the LAFD to conduct mandatory training at applicable sites by providing LAFD certifications and college credits.
