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.

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.

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.

CONFIRM the City’s primary objectives for alternative response and the intended purpose of an OOUR, as outlined in the City Administrative Officer (CAO) report dated May 15, 2023, attached to Council file No. 22­0979. 2. INSTRUCT the CAO to develop, within the next 120 days, a robust performance management and evaluation program for the Unarmed Model of Crisis Response Pilot (UMCRP), and, if implemented, to monitor and gather key insights from the successes and opportunities from the pilot year; and, include all current models in their robust performance management and evaluation program for the UMCRP. 3. INSTRUCT the CAO to report to Council, within the next 120 days, on all funding the City is allocating to all programs that fall under Alternative and Unarmed responses and any duplicative services; and include the preliminary value for the dollar in regards to the efficacy of the program (for example ­ what is the value of a mediation program as opposed to having interventionists, what is the value of a peace ambassador compared to other alternatives, Tuesday - June 6, 2023 - PAGE 16 etc.); and compare this to the current public safety system; and  opportunities from the pilot year; and, include all current models in their robust performance management and evaluation program for the UMCRP. 3. INSTRUCT the CAO to report to Council, within the next 120 days, on all funding the City is allocating to all programs that fall under Alternative and Unarmed responses and any duplicative services; and include the preliminary value for the dollar in regards to the efficacy of the program (for example ­ what is the value of a mediation program as opposed to having interventionists, what is the value of a peace ambassador compared to other alternatives, etc.); and compare this to the current public safety system; and compare how the program improves the City’s response toward people’s feelings of being unsafe. 4. INSTRUCT the CAO, in consultation with the Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA), the Mayor’s Office of Community Safety, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), and other partners, to report to Council within 90 days, on progress to determine which 9­1­1 call types are appropriate to divert to alternative response models, and specifically: a. Which of these calls should be assigned to an OOUR. b. Which of these calls are currently addressed by existing programs, which may be addressed by expanding existing programs, and which would require new programs. 5. INSTRUCT the CAO, in consultation with the CLA, the Mayor’s Office of Community Safety, the LAPD, and other partners, to report to Council with regular updates to the City’s alternative response framework based on the shared vision, including: a. Reports on key leadership decisions and community feedback. b. Updates on potential costs and timeline for program expansion. c. Analysis of current programs’ performance metrics and data. 6. AMEND the “Primary Objectives for Alternative Response” section contained in the CAO report dated May 15, 2023, attached to the Council file, to update and rearrange the order of objectives, and add an additional objective (Primary Objective No. 4), respectively, as follows: a. Primary Objective No. 1: Reduction in use of force incidents in all calls and involvement of the criminal justice system. Tuesday - June 6, 2023 - PAGE 17  c. Analysis of current programs’ performance metrics and data. 6. AMEND the “Primary Objectives for Alternative Response” section contained in the CAO report dated May 15, 2023, attached to the Council file, to update and rearrange the order of objectives, and add an additional objective (Primary Objective No. 4), respectively, as follows: a. Primary Objective No. 1: Reduction in use of force incidents in all calls and involvement of the criminal justice system. b. Primary Objective No. 2: Improve the efficacy of sworn police officer deployment and review the scope of work of the LAPD. c. Primary Objective No. 3: Improve social and mental health services for individuals in crisis or for select demographics (i.e. people experiencing homelessness). d. Primary Objective No. 4: View public safety in a more holistic way (i.e. looking at why people are concerned or frustrated with the current system, are people housed or facing food insecurity, etc.). Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that there is no impact to the General Fund at this time. The $1,000,000 in Fund No. 100/56, entitled OOUR, is sufficient for the first year of operation at the proposed staffing level for an OOUR. Additional funds may be required after year one to cover 12 months funding for the proposed staffing level, and pending the adoption of an alternative response framework to implement an unarmed response expansion plan. Without additional funding sources, the creation of an OOUR and expansion of unarmed response programs will likely have a significant General Fund impact. At this time, the CAO is working with the CLA to determine alternative funding sources for the programs described in the CAO report, including Medicare and other grant programs.
