MOTION
The Seventh Council District (CD 7) has received a request to donate 5758 boxes of nitrite gloves to
Shelter Partnership. Shelter Partnership provides support to agencies and local governments on issues
related to homelessness through policy analysis, program design, resource development, and advocacy.
The organization also operates the S. Mark Taper Foundation Shelter Resource Bank to distribute unused
donated goods to organizations serving the unhoused.
Section 22.54 7 of the Los Angeles Administrative Code provides that upon Council approval, surplus City
equipment may be sold for less than market value to a non-profit organization in the City of Los Angeles
when the donation would benefit the residents in the City. The donation of the equipment would be
distributed by Shelter Partnership free of charge to homeless service agencies throughout Los Angeles.
Shelter Partnership is located at 520 S Grand Ave #695 in the City of Los Angeles. The total fair market
value of the equipment is $197,854, which will be foregone revenue should it be donated.
I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council:
1. Find that Shelter Partnerships is eligible to purchase 5758 boxes of nitrile gloves (4897 boxes of
medium gloves; 20 boxes of large gloves; and 84 7 boxes of small gloves) below market value ($1.00)
in accordance with LAAC Sec. 22.547 (Donation of Surplus City Equipment), as the recipient is a
non-profit organization that has been established exclusively to further the services provided by the
City;
2. Request the City Attorney to expedite preparation of appropriate documents to effectuate the sale and
transfer; and
3. Instruct the City Clerk to inform Shelter Partnerships [Jennifer Marquez, Senior Director of Product
Donations, (213) 688-2188, 520 S. Grand Ave #695, Los Angeles, CA 90071] that the surplus
equipment must be claimed within 90 days from the date of Council approval of the request or
notification of availability of the equipment, whichever occurs later, at which time the equipment will
revert to the City's surplus equipment pool for disposal by the Department of General Services.

MOTION
As we enter the 2024 - 2025 budget cycle, the City is already facing a nearly half billion deficit
due to the undercollection of revenue, well-deserved investments in employee compensation
and benefits, and the end of pandemic-era funding from state and federal sources, all of which
will prevent the City from investing in and expanding existing services. The City's financial
picture is so dire that the City is entering a managed hiring plan, which would impact a
significant number of City departments.
Meanwhile, vital infrastructure like parks, sidewalks, sewers, and technology are outdated and
crumbling. Excessive trash is choking storm drains, polluting the ocean, and killing wildlife. The
threat of wildfires and other emergencies threaten wide swaths of Los Angeles. Many City
buildings, including our police and fire stations, suffer from decades of deferred maintenance,
and many departments report that they do not have the staffing or resources to meet current
demands. And across the entire City, residents are demanding urgent solutions to
homelessness, affordability, and public safety.
As City leaders grapple with competing priorities in a contracted budget year, it is essential to
understand the budget impacts of external matters that could impact the City's overall finances.
Currently pending on the March 5, 2024 ballot is the Healthy Streets LA ballot measure
("Measure HLA"). If approved, Measure HLA would mandate the City to install modifications
outlined in the City's Mobility Plan 2035 (Mobility Plan) whenever the City undertakes a street or
sidewalk improvement greater than an ½ of a mile (660 feet), inclusive of street resurfacing and
slurry sealing, tied to an existing schedule.
While the City has carried out many elements of the Mobility Plan, including more than 300
miles of bicycle lanes, there are more than 600 miles of protected bicycle lanes and bicycle
lanes that have yet to be implemented. Falling along major thoroughfares, these additions
would, in certain instances, necessitate the removal of vehicle travel lanes and parking spaces.
In a separate report (CF 24-11 00-S1 ), the CAO also estimated that, if approved, Measure HLA
could cost the City more than $2.5 billion over 10 years or $250 million annually, the amount
allocated toward Inside Safe in FY 23 - 24. The report also shared that Measure HLA could
result in delays to street repaving, reduce the amount of annual repaving, require the diversion
of funds from other City services and increase liability costs. Measure HLA also includes an
attorney's fee provision for successful litigants against the City.
While Los Angeles voters will decide the fate of Measure HLA, the City shouldn't wait to
understand its impacts and take steps to prepare for its implementation.
I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council instruct the Department of Transportation, in
coordination with the Chief Legislative Analyst and Department of City Planning, to report with a
list of corridors that would necessitate the removal of parking spaces and vehicle travel lanes to
install Tier I protected bicycle lanes in the Bicycle Enhanced Network; Tier II bicycle lanes in the
Bicycle Lane Network; as well as mobility elements of the Transit Lane Enhanced Network and
Neighborhood Enhanced Network.
I FURTHER MOVE that the Council instruct the Department of Transportation to report with a
community outreach and engagement plan along surrounding corridors that could be impacted
by Measure HLA.
I FURTHER MOVE that the Council instruct the Bureau of Street Services, in coordination with
the Department of City Planning, to report on the following:
• Mobility Plan corridors scheduled for street resurfacing that would be impacted by
Measure HLA, in addition to each street segment's Pavement Condition Index
• Mobility Plan corridors scheduled for slurry sealing that would be impacted by
Measure HLA, in addition to each street segment's Pavement Condition Index
I FURTHER MOVE that the Council instruct the CAO to report on the following:
• Funding sources to meet Measure HLA's mandate
• Impacts to the delivery of existing services that could occur as a result of Measure
HLA's passage

Requests for reasonable modification or accommodation from individuals with disabilities, consistent with the Americans
with Disabilities Act can be made by contacting the City Clerk's Office at (213) 9781133. 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.

Office of the City Clerk, Council and Public Services Division, Room 395, City Hall, 200 North Spring Street, Los Angeles,

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.
