The OPA was tasked with providing independent analyses of DWP actions associated with water and electricity rates. The duties of the OPA, in part, include: • Reporting to, but not instructed by, the Board of Water and Power Commissioners; • Have full charge and control of all OPA work and the proper administration of its affairs; • Have access to DWP information to fulfill its responsibilities; • Issue periodic public reports; • Review and analyze proposed water and power rate actions and their effect on ratepayers; • Provide an analysis of the impact of DWP's renewable and energy/water conservation programs on rates; • Conduct consumer protection/complaint evaluation services or other duties; and • Perform other related duties as may be prescribed by ordinance. The Office of Public Accountability was created to obtain valuable information and provide independent insight into proposed rate increases by the Department. While the OPA has reviewed water and power rate actions since its founding, it's important to note that DWP bills also include charges for solid waste and sewer services provided by the Bureau of Sanitation. As these charges continue to evolve, the City Council should consider expanding the prescribed duties of the OPA to allow it to review, analyze, and report on the impact of rate proposals associated with solid waste and sewer services, as well as the Bureau's operations and maintenance. In taking this proactive step, the City can ensure long-term transparency and accountability across all utility costs Angelenos pay. ITHEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the Chief Legislative Analyst to report back in 45 days on methods to expand the authority of the Office of Public Accountability/Ratepayer Advocate to review, analyze, and report on the impact of rate proposals associated with solid waste and sewer services. JUN 1 7 2025  PUBLIC WORKS MOTION John Northmore, former Director ofthe Harbor City Teen Post, was a pillar ofstrength, guidance, and compassion for generations ofyouth and families in Harbor City and the surrounding communities. Whether you were impacted by poverty, gang violence, or the justice system, John was there, with no concern for cultural or language barriers, to offer help, hope, and healing. To many, he was the father they never had. To others, a trusted mentor. For countless families, he was the support system they desperately needed to keep their children from being lost to the streets. Beyond his daily work, John was a relentless advocate for young people and families facing systemic obstacles across education, public safety, and community services. Even after funding for the Teen Post was eliminated, John continued his mission-often at his expense-supporting a new generation ofyouth. For many ofus, the field trips he organized were our first experiences outside the neighborhood. The homework nights he hosted at Harbor City Recreation Center were the only tutoring we ever received. These are just a few examples ofthe countless ways John changed lives. His legacy lives on through the stories, memories, and lives he touched. In recognition ofhis extraordinary service, the community seeks to honor his memory permanently. I THEREFORE MOVE that the intersection of253rd Street and Belle Porte Avenue in Harbor City be designated as "John Northmore Square", and that the Department of Transportation be directed to install permanent ceremonial signage at this location in his honor.
