In April 2021, the State HCD made $50 million in Community Development Block Grant Program-Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) funding available to Homekeyl awardees for rehabilitation and off-site infrastructure improvements. The CAO applied for funding for one (1) City site and three (3) HACLA sites and was awarded $9,450,000 in CDBG-CV funding for the four (4) sites (C.F. 20-0941). These sites include: 1. Best Western NOHO, 11135 Burbank Boulevard (HACLA); 2. Canoga Park Place-Super 8, 7631 Topanga Canyon (HACLA) 3. Panorama Inn, 8209 Sepulveda Boulevard (City); and, 4. Orchid Hotel, 1753 Orchid Avenue (HACLA). The City, as the lead applicant for CDBG-CV, administers this funding and all payments from the State HCD are directed to the CAO. The CAO, as the fund administrator, requires additional authority to transfer State CDBG-CV funding to HACLA for the three (3) HACLA-acquired sites that were awarded State CDBG-CV. I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council, subject to the approval of the Mayor: 1. AUTHORIZE the Controller to: a.

Council approval is urgently needed to expedite the necessary transfer of funds to balance salary and expense accounts for a total of $4.2M. These transactions cannot be deferred to the upcoming Year End Financial Status Report (FSR) as there is no funding to meet payroll obligations and fiscal year end purchasing deadlines. There is no additional General Fund impact as these transactions involve internal transfers. • Unused Sick Time ($3.6M) - . MOU provisions that took effect in January 2021 increased the unused sick time compensation pay rate from 50% to 100%. This unfunded increase has dramatically accelerated expenditures in the account beyond Midyear projections, resulting in the depletion of the account. There is no funding to meet payroll obligations for pay period ending April 8, 2023. • Fleet Parts Account ($600k) - Expenditures have increased significantly in recent months due to surging prices and field demands. This funding cannot be deferred to the Year End FSR as approval of that report typically does not occur until after fiscal year end deadlines for purchase transactions. This account will be depleted as of the pay period ending May 6, 2023. I THEREFORE MOVE that City Council, subject to approval of the Mayor, authorize the Controller to transfer $4,200,000 within and between Fund 100 sources, as follows: Fund Account Amount From: 100/38 001012, Sworn Salaries $3,600,000 To: 100/38 001050, Unused Sick Time $3,600,000 From: 100/38 001098, Overtime Variable Staffing $ 600,000 To: 100/38 003090, Field Equipment Expense $ 600,000 /• .Pr.• .!.., 1 ,,,.,,,, .J..

City of Los Angeles et al., in which plaintiffs allege that the ongoing practice of jailing Angelenos too poor to afford the bail amount listed in the LA County uniform bail schedule is unconstitutional. I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council request the City Attorney to report, in closed session if necessary, on the status of Urquidi v. City of Los Angeles et al. PRESENTED BY: Councilmember, 13 th District SECONDED BY: .IPR 1 1 2023 PK  MOTION ENERGY &ENVIRONMENT In 2016, Governor Brown signed Senate Bill 13 83 to address climate change via greenhouse gas emissions produced by trapped food waste in landfills. Organics such as food waste, paper, yard clippings, and cardboard make up about half the contents of California landfills. Reducing the amount of organic waste diverted to landfills is one of the fastest methods of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in our atmosphere. SB 1383 aims to reduce organic waste disposal by 75% in 2025. While this is a crucial step in combating climate change, it is important to recognize the role Angelenos have in making this bill successful. In Los Angeles, residential accounts serviced directly by LA Sanitation & Environment (LASAN) - typically single-family homes and multifamily buildings four units or smaller - already have green bins. While they were originally used only for yard trimmings, on January 16, 2023, organics recycling was officially introduced for all 710,000 LA Sanitation-serviced residents who were not part of one of the City's small organics recycling pilot programs. Commercial accounts that are serviced by contracted recycLA Service Providers (RSPs), including a majority of the City's larger multifamily buildings and businesses, mostly do not currently have green bins. While green bin service has been mandated for commercial accounts since 2018, there has been no enforcement mechanism. That will change on January 1, 2024, when as per City ordinance, commercial accounts without green bin service can be fined repeatedly until they add the service. Many larger commercial account holders are reluctant to participate in the organics program due to the excess effort believed to be required, and due to fees for additional bins and service that when added up, may end up being more expensive than the fines they would have to pay if they didn't have a green bin. For struggling small businesses and smaller apartments, the additional burden of cost, whether it be fines or green bin fees, could take a significant toll on their ability to operate. Additionally, multifamily buildings that do sign up to participate may want to pass on these additional costs to their tenants, many of whom are already struggling to pay their rent. The City should take steps now to mitigate the financial burden RSP customers will face when enforcement of organics recycling participation begins. I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct LASAN to report back within 60 days with options for commercial accounts to mitigate cost increases associated with adding commercial green bin service. Analysis should include: • Waiving of expensive waste fees, such as distance fees and gate fees, for commercial accounts who are in compliance with the bill; • Helping commercial account holders recalibrate their waste removal by reducing black bin service to make up for the new green bin service; and • Developing a recycLA "base rate" structure that includes organics collection (green bin service), in addition to solid waste (black bin service) and recycling (blue bin service). I FURTHER MOVE that City Council instruct LASAN to report back within 60 days regarding the creation and implementation of a window stickering program to reward businesses who add green bin service, and recognize them for their efforts in being compliant with SB 1383. APR 11 ,. I FURTHER MOVE that City Council instruct LASAN to report to the Council on a quarterly basis on City-wide compliance of SB 1383 so that Council may know the success of the program and if any additional help or incentives are needed to ensure its success.

PRESENTED BY: ~ cOSKER Councilmember, 15 th District jwd APR 112023  HOUSING &HOMELESSNESS MOTION People experiencing homelessness often have intensive physical and behavioral health needs. Recent surveys and studies indicate that 40% to 67% of homeless Angelenos have either a mental illness or a substance abuse disorder, while over 20% have a physical disability. In recent years, the City of Los Angeles has made sizable investments in interim housing programs wl1ere unsheltered individuals are able to come indoors and stabilize. However, these sites are not equipped with on-site medical, mental, and behavioral health support for program participants. In order to comprehensively serve the individuals moving into shelter and to ensure that staff at these sites are supported, holistic health care services should be provided on-site. The City has recently made a sizable investment in Street Medicine, expanding in February from one team to three, which serve Council Districts 1, 4, 8, 9, 13, and 14. These mobile teams provide critical care to support unsheltered individuals, and they continue to provide services as these individuals transition to living indoors. Street Medicine teams provide the following services to individuals living unsheltered and transitioning into interim housing sites: • General medical services, including chronic disease care, preventive care, urgent care, and wound care; • Behavioral health services, including counseling, therapy, and medication treatment for severe mental illness with guidance from a psychiatrist; • Addiction recovery services, including counseling and medication-assisted treatment with guidance from an addiction medicine specialist; and • Medical care management, including coordination of specialist visits, medication delivery, health insurance enrollment, and the provision of durable medical equipment. In November 2022, the California Department of Health Services released guidance to Medi-Cal managed care health plans that effectively encourages Medi-Cal insurers to fund and partner with organizations that bring primary care into encampments, including the Street Medicine teams doing life-saving work here in the City of Los Angeles. Thanks to this new guidance, Street Medicine teams are able to cover a large portion of the costs of these services by billing Medi-Cal for both medical services and CalAIM services. However, these reimbursements do not entirely cover the costs of the program, particularly for service recipients who, for various reasons, are uninsured. The City must subsidize these services in order to ensure that Street Medicine teams are able to provide continuous care to residents as they transition indoors from encampments, and so that these teams can expand their care to all residents of all City-funded interim housing sites. Healthcare in Action, a Street Medicine provider, estimates that adequate service at interim housing sites would require half-day clinics once per week at interim housing sites with approximately 50 individuals and half-day clinics twice per week at interim housing sites with APR·l 12023 approximately 100 individuals. For each weekly half-day clinic, the annual subsidy the City would need to provide would be $24,000. Just over $4 Million remains unspent and unallocated in the General City Purposes - Additional Homeless Services (GCP-AHD) fund . We should take action now to ensure that these funds are spent on the badly needed, life-saving services provided by Street Medicine teams, and that these teams are able to continue seeing clients that they serve on the street after they transition indoors. I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council direct the City Administrative Officer (CAO) to report back within 30 days with recommendations that will enable Street Medicine teams to provide medical, mental and behavioral health services at all City-funded interim housing sites. These recommendations should include appropriate funding, staffing, and other resources to initiate this expansion of Street Medicine services as soon as possible. I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council direct the CAO, with the assistance of the Chief Legislative Analyst, to explore additional funding sources for these much-needed services, including State and Federal grants and potential agreements with the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health and the Department of Health Services. PRESENTED BY: SECONDED BY: APR 11 2023  PUBLIC WORKS MOTION On December 15, 2006, 14-year-old Cheryl Green was standing with friends in her Harbor Gateway neighborhood when members of the 204th Street gang walked up and shot into the crowd. Her murder sparked outrage and highlighted long-standing tensions in the neighborhood. Cries to combat gang activity and increase community public safety led to the establishment of a Boys & Girls Club Center for the surrounding area in 2009. The Harbor Gateway area has historically lacked safe spaces for youth to receive educational and recreational opportunities. Named the "Cheryl Green Community Youth Center", the Boys & Girls Club at Del Amo Boulevard and Denker Avenue is located a few blocks from where Cheryl was shot. The site seeks to provide a place to go after school, where children can play and receive mentoring and tutoring. The Club is an important community asset and will continue to honor the life and legacy of Cheryl Green. I THEREFORE MOVE that the intersection of Del Amo Boulevard and Denker Avenue in Harbor Gateway be designated "Cheryl Green Memorial Square", and that the Department of Transportation be directed to erect permanent ceremonial sign(s) to this effect at this location.

TIMMcOSKER Councilmember, 15th District C) SECONDED BY: ft-===- \ APR 11 2023  PUBLIC SAFETY MOTION Per- and Polyfluorinated Substances (PFAS) are man-made chemicals that have been used in products worldwide since the 1940s. They have been used to make nonstick cookware, water-repellent clothing, stain resistant fabrics and carpets, cosmetics, firefighting foams, and products that resist grease, water, and oil. Scientific studies have shown that exposure to some PFAS in the environment may be linked to harmful health effects in both humans and animals. PFAS are found in firefighter protective gear and have been linked to cancer, the leading cause of firefighter death. Cancer accounted for more than 74% ofline-of-duty deaths in 2022. Recent studies have shown that all three layers of firefighter turnout gear contain PFAS. These studies also highlight the risks associated with the materials and finishes used in turnout gear even before the gear is exposed to its first frre. Resolution 28 of the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) 55th Convention calls on the IAFF to stop accepting sponsorships or advertising from the chemical industry, textile manufacturers or personal protective equipment (PPE) manufacturers that use toxic chemicals, recommends an end of repurposing used or expired PPE and calls on the IAFF to publish information on PFAS based on research by independent scientists with no connections to the PPE industry. Protecting the health and safety of our city's fire fighters is unwavering and the work to remove these toxic chemicals from the protective gear must be done. I THEREFORE MOVE that the Fire Department report back on current testing being done, if any, to report the levels of PFAS in firefighter protective gear. This report should include possible outside sources to perform this testing. I FURTHER MOVE that the Fire Department report back with current plans to remove the hazardous firefighter gear from all inventory and fire stations across the city. This report should include funding needed for new and safe firefighter protective gear. .
