If public hearing is not held in Committee, an opportunity for public comment will be provided.) (Please visit www.lacouncilfile.com for background documents.) Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that PY 51 CDBG will provide approximately $18.7 million to support positions ( direct salaries: $12. 7 million; expenses including contracts: $2.4 million; and related costs reimbursement: $3.5 million). For PY 51, the CAO has calculated total related costs to be approximately $9.3 million. Of this amount, approximately $3.5 million can be funded with CDBG funds. This leaves $5.8 million in unfunded related costs that the Council may consider funding with the General Fund. For reference, the PY 50 estimated $2.5 million in related costs to be paid by the General Fund. The City's Financial Policies state that the City will pursue program grants, but will limit financial support of these programs to avoid commitments beyond available funding. The CAO further reports that Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) 47 is used to calculate the 2025-26 related costs. In most cases, CAP 4 7 is higher than CAP 46, which was used to calculate related costs in PY 50. There is CDBG Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) balance available to fund some of the salaries and related costs for the Community Investment for Families Department. The amount of City resources, specifically the General Fund, to be dedicated to leverage CDBG grant program activities is a policy decision for the Council.

Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR:​ 1. DETERMINE that: a. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4), the 2023-2027 Housing and Community Development Consolidated Plan PY 51 (2025-2026) Action Plan is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is the creation of a funding mechanism or other fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to a specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact to the environment. b. The Action Plan is not a CEQA project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15378(b)(4) and 15353(a) because it does not commit the City to a definite course of action the City intends to carry out and the City will comply with CEQA if applicable before any Action Plan funds are committed to a definite course of use; and/or, c. The Action Plan is exempt from the requirements of CEQA because, pursuant to Guideline Section 150601(b)(3), as the common sense exemption applies because it can be seen with certainty that the Action Plan application for funding does not have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment. 2. FIND that all new federally funded projects are subject to environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements and per the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) regulations before any commitment of federal funds for expenditure unless they are exempt from such review. The City has determined that some action is programmatically exempted per Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 58.34 and categorically excluded per CFR 58.35(a)(b) from this annual environmental requirement. Those projects that are not exempted or not yet defined are approved, subject to the following: a. Confirmation that the project to be funded is categorically excluded under NEPA per 24 CFR Part 58, and exempt under CEQA per the Guidelines before project implementation; or, b. Appropriate environmental review before project implementation. 3. NOTE and FILE the Report from Mayor dated May 12, 2025, attached to Council file No. 25-0525, relative to the 51st PY of the Housing and Community Development Consolidated Plan (2025-2026) (Action Plan). 4. AMEND Attachment A of Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA) report dated June 11, 2025, attached to said Council file, as follows: a. Delete Line Item 54, entitled Rose Hills Park Improvements, and reallocate the funds to a new line item under Economic Development Entitled Assistance to Microenterprises Program/ DTLA Small Business Assistance, with $300,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. ITEM NO. 36 b. Reduce Line Item 43 entitled Hollenbeck Park Improvement by $27,000, and create a new Line Item under neighborhood Improvements entitled Hermon Park Improvements with $27,000 in CDBG funding. c. Correct the PY 51 Neighborhood Improvements (Column P) subtotal to be $12,646,909. 5. APPROVE the recommendations as detailed in the CLA report dated June 11, 2025, attached to the Council file. 6. DIRECT the Community Investment for Families Department (CIFD) to report to Council by September 1, 2025 on the status of each project adopted in the said CLA report. Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that PY 51 CDBG will provide approximately $18.7 million to support positions (direct salaries: $12. 7 million; expenses including contracts: $2.4 million; and related costs reimbursement: $3.5 million). For PY 51, the City Administrative Officer (CAO) has calculated total related costs to be approximately $9.3 million. Of this amount, approximately $3.5 million can be funded with CDBG funds. This leaves $5.8 million in unfunded related costs that the Council may consider funding with the General Fund. For reference, the PY 50 estimated $2.5 million in related costs to be paid by the General Fund. The City's Financial Policies state that the City will pursue program grants, but will limit financial support of these programs to avoid commitments beyond available funding. The CAO further reports that Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) 47 is used to calculate the 2025-26 related costs. In most cases, CAP 4 7 is higher than CAP 46, which was used to calculate related costs in PY 50. There is CDBG Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) balance available to fund some of the salaries and related costs for the CIFD. The amount of City resources, specifically the General Fund, to be dedicated to leverage CDBG grant program activities is a policy decision for the Council.

Written public comment may be submitted at LACouncilComment.com. 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) 978-1133. 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 peer-to-peer and third-party 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 TIY-Based TRS; Speech-to-Speech Relay Service; Shared Non- English 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/telecommunications- relay-service-trs. 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, hard-of-hearing, or has a speech disability. For more information about FCC programs to promote access to telecommunications services for people with disabilities, visit the FCC's Disability Rights Office website. SE OFRECE UN SERVICIO DE TRADUCCIÓN AL ESPAÑOL EN TODAS LAS REUNIONES DEL CONSEJO MUNICIPAL Spanish language interpretation is available at all Council and Committee meetings. Interpretation services in additional languages are available upon request, at no cost. Please submit your request to clerk.interpretation@lacity.org as soon as possible to allow time for scheduling. You will receive a confirmation reply if an interpreter is available. Tuesday - June 24, 2025 - PAGE 2 BASIC CITY COUNCIL MEETING RULES AGENDAS - The City Council meets Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at 10:00 A.M. The agendas for City Council meetings contain a brief general description of those items to be considered at the meetings. Council Agendas are available in the Office of the City Clerk, Council and Public Services Division, Room 395, City Hall, 200 North Spring Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012, and on the City's website at lacity.gov or lacouncilcalendar.com. 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 two-thirds (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 Sergeant-At-Arms with 35 copies. Otherwise, your materials will simply be added to the official record. NOTICE TO PAID REPRESENTATIVES - If you are compensated to monitor, attend, or speak at this meeting, City law may require you to register as a lobbyist and report your activity. See Los Angeles Municipal Code 48.01 et seq. More information is available at ethics.lacity.org/lobbying. For assistance, please contact the Ethics Commission at (213) 978-1960 or ethics.commission@lacity.org. 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. Tuesday - June 24, 2025 - PAGE 3 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. RULE 16 MOTIONS - Council Rule No. 16, in part, allows a member to send an item directly to the Council without it having to go to a Council Committee first, by giving the City Clerk a motion (seconded by an additional member) during a Council session to be placed on the next regular available Council agenda.
