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. Friday - March 6, 2026 - 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. Friday - March 6, 2026 - 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.

In accordance with Charter Section 1022, that it is necessary, feasible, and economical to secure these services by contract as the Department of Recreation and Parks (RAP) lacks sufficient and necessary personnel to undertake these specialized professional services. b. Pursuant to Charter Section 371(e)(10), and Los Angeles Administrative Code Section 10.15(a)(10), that the use of competitive bidding for the services to be provided by First Choice Vending Inc. (Concessionaire) would be undesirable, impractical or otherwise excused by the common law and the Charter because, unlike the purchase of a specified product, there is no single criterion, such as price comparison, that will determine which proposer can best provide the services required by the RAP for the operation and maintenance of the vending machine concession. 3. AUTHORIZE the Board of Recreation and Park Commissioners (Board), or designee, to execute the proposed Agreement between the RAP and Concessionaire for the operation and maintenance of vending machine concessions at various parks and recreation centers within the City of Los Angeles, for a term of five years with two five-year extension options exercisable at the sole discretion of the General Manager, RAP, subject to review and approval of the City Attorney as to form.

The RAP’s estimated revenue from sales over the initial five-year term is $319,172, based on projections provided by the Concessionaire. Ninety percent of the revenues from this concession agreement will be deposited into the RAP’s operating fund. The remaining ten percent will be deposited into the Concessions Improvement Account. There is no additional impact on the General Fund. The Concessionaire will submit a monthly concession fee payment and report on sales to the RAP. In addition, the Concessionaire must submit a statement of gross receipts for each individual machine as a supplemental document to the main monthly report. If the Concessionaire fails to remit any concession fee payments or other fees, charges, or payments required on time, it will be considered a material breach of the agreement. The charge for late or delinquent payments is $150 for each month late plus interest calculated at the rate of 18 percent per year, assessed monthly, on the balance of the unpaid amount. The Concessionaire is responsible to pay a monthly utility charge equal to $10 per machine, as well as $1,000 to guarantee payment of fees and as a damage deposit to be used in accordance with the provisions of the agreement. Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the recommendations in the report complies with the City’s Financial Policies in that user charges and fees are set to support the full cost of operations for which the fees are charged.

In accordance with Charter Section 371(e)(10), that use of competitive bidding would be undesirable, impractical or impossible or is otherwise excused by the common law and the Charter because, unlike the purchase of a specified product, there is no single criterion, such as price comparison, that will determine which proposer can best provide the Services required by the RAP. e. In accordance with Charter Section 1022, that the RAP does not have available in its employ, personnel with sufficient time or necessary expertise to undertake the Friday - March 6, 2026 - PAGE 14  Services in a timely manner, and it is more feasible, economical and in the RAP’s best interest, to secure these Services by the Contractor on an as-needed basis. f.

Friday - March 6, 2026 - PAGE 16  Recommendations for Council action: 1. DETERMINE that the Reclaimed Water portion of the scope defined for the Griffith Park Ferraro Soccer Fields (R12) project, as specified in the 1996 Proposition K Ballot Measure (Ballot Measure), is infeasible for the reasons described below, as further detailed in the Proposition K – L.A. For Kids Steering (LAFKSC) Committee report dated February 3, 2026, attached to the Council file: a. The Department of Water and Power (DWP) has altered their approach to providing reclaimed water to sites throughout Los Angeles, and now encourages on-site reclamation of water. b. The DWP Reclaimed Water Pipeline (Purple Pipe) system does not extend to the Fields and the DWP does not intend to fund an extension of the Purple Pipe from the Los Angeles Glendale Water Treatment Plant Purple Pipe to the Fields. c. The vast majority of the Fields have been converted to synthetic soccer fields, which reduces the overall total landscaped area at the park that can benefit from a reclaimed water system. d. Constructing a new reclaimed water system within the Fields, absent a DWP connection to provide reclaimed water to the site, would render the improvements unable to be utilized for an unknown period of time and therefore would constitute an unnecessary use of assessment funds. 2. ACKNOWLEDGE that the remainder of the specified project scope has been previously completed, as further detailed in said LAFKSC report. 3. DETERMINE that no additional alternatives have been identified that would satisfy the legal requirements of the Ballot Measure within the remaining timeline of the Proposition K – Friday - March 6, 2026 - PAGE 17  L.A. for Kids Program.
