Fiscal Impact Statement: The BOE reports that approval of the recommendations in said BOE report have no direct fiscal impact.

Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the recommendations stated in the February 25, 2026 CAO report, attached to the Council File, include transfers, appropriations, and authority for expenditures totaling $53.7 million. This consists of $12.7 million from various special funds, $36.3 million in MICLA funds, and $4.7 million in Capital and Technology Improvement Expenditure (CTIEP) funds. All transfers and appropriations are based on existing funds, reimbursements, or revenues. There is an unanticipated General Fund impact in an amount not yet determined for operations and maintenance costs of two facilities currently not in operation, a park within Destination Crenshaw and Taxco Theatre. These costs will be addressed through the City budget process at the time the facilities are scheduled for completion. Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the recommendations stated in the February 25, 2026 CAO report, attached to the Council File, comply with the City’s Financial Policies in that appropriations for funds are limited to available cash balances needed to fund ongoing maintenance, programming, project shortfalls, and critical operational needs in the current budget year. Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of MICLA debt is a General Fund obligation. The appropriation of MICLA funding for the Active Decarbonization Pilot Projects (Item B in the February 25, 2026 CAO report, attached to the Council File) would cause the City to borrow $0.9 million at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over a period of 20 years. The reauthorization of 2022- 23 MICLA funding authority to the City Hall Entry Doors Project (Item Wednesday - April 15, 2026 - PAGE 26  KK in the February 25, 2026 CAO report, attached to the Council File) would cause the City to borrow $0.6 million at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over a period of 20 years. The reauthorization of 2022-23 MICLA funding authority to the West Valley Police Station Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Replacement Project (Item LL in the February 25, 2026 CAO report, attached to the Council File) would cause the City to borrow $1.0 million at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over a period of 20 years. The total estimated debt service for these projects is $4.2 million, including interest of approximately $1.7 million. During the life of the bonds, the estimated average annual debt service is $0.2 million over a period of 20 years. Actual interest rates may differ as rates are dependent on market conditions at the time of issuance. The CAO cannot fully predict what interest rates will be in the future. In accordance with the City's Debt Management Policy, the City has an established debt ceiling to guide the evaluation of the affordability for future debt. The debt ceiling for non-voted direct debt as a percentage of General Fund revenues is six percent. The 2025-26 Adopted Budget non-voter-approved debt service ratio is 2.40 percent. The issuance of MICLA debt for these projects will not cause the City to exceed the six percent non-voter- approved debt limit.

The foundation focuses on creating playful, project-based learning experiences that nurture curiosity, collaboration, and confidence in students of all backgrounds. The Two Bit Circus Foundation would like to expand their services to other areas of the City, and vacant City property has been identified at 5975 South Western Avenue that would be ideal for the Foundation to utilize. In order for Two Bit Circus Foundation to begin operations at this property, a lease agreement is needed. I THEREFORE MOVE that Council instruct the Department of General Services, with the assistance of the City Attorney and City Administrative Officer, to negotiate a non-profit lease with Two Bit Circus for the use of the City-owned space located at 5975 South Western Avenue. I FURTHER MOVE that the Council find, pursuant to Charter Section 37l(e)(l0) and Administrative Code Section I 0.15(a)(l 0), that the use of competitive bidding would be undesirable and impractical for the following reasons: (1) the Two Bit Circus Foundation offers a safe and fun environment for community growth, empowerment, and connection; (2) the space was vacant and unused by the City and may deteriorate without a primary tenant; and (3) given the Two Bit Circus Foundation's background and work experience, it is the most qualified entity to operate at this property.

They will bring more than 15,000 elite athletes and millions of visitors to Los Angeles, generating hundreds of contract opportunities across sectors such as construction, hospitality, logistics, electronics, apparel, and transportation. The economic stakes for our local businesses are enormous, and the City's expectations have been clear. Through multiple engagements with LA28, the City has consistently called for a formal, written commitment in the procurement plan establishing a tiered vendor preference structure: City of Los Angeles businesses first, followed by Los Angeles County, and then the broader five-county region. As the public entity bearing primary financial liability for the Games, the City has both a responsibility and a right to ensure that the Games is a net positive to the City's economy and that its small businesses are first in line to benefit. In its Impact and Sustainability report, LA28 has pledged to direct 75% of addressable spend to Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange, Ventura and Riverside counties and 25% to small businesses. However, LA28's procurement plan falls significantly short of community expectations to meaningfully support businesses within the City of Los Angeles through LA28 procurement opportunities.It provides no transparency on total addressable spend, no sector-specific allocations, and no anticipated contract values. Without clear accountability measures, large multinational firms could secure the majority of funding, leaving local businesses with only a small share of the overall economic benefit. Additionally, the City Council has previously adopted and transmitted several formal requests related to procurement, equity, and local participation through Council Files 15-0989-S51, 15-0989-S52, 15-0989-S58, 15-0989-S59, and 15-0989-S62. It remains unclear to what extent these directives have been incorporated into LA28's procurement plan or implementation strategy. I THEREFORE MOVE that the CLA and BCA review Council Files 15-0989-S51, 15-0989-S52, 15-0989-S58, 15-0989-S59, and 15-0989-S62, mandating that LA28 prioritize City of Los Angeles businesses, establish transparent procurement and contracting protocols while providing comprehensive quarterly reports and report on: 1. The extent to which the policies, directives, and requests contained within these Council actions have been incorporated into LA28's procurement plan; 2. The current status of implementation of these directives, including measurable outcomes where available; 3. Any gaps between previous Council action and LA28 execution. I FURTHER MOVE that the CLA, in coordination with BCA, provide a separate report with recommendations for policy, reporting, and enforcement mechanisms that the City Council may pursue~protect the City's financial and economic interests, and to ensure that LA28 APR 1/5~ procurement commitments result in measurable, transparent, and equitable economic benefits for City of Los Angeles businesses. ~(v~~ • PRESENTED BY: MARQUEECE HARRIS-DAWSON Councilmember, 8 th District ' SECONDED BY:  PUBLIC SAFETY RULES, fu'~EC1\0NS,\NiERGOVERNMENiAL REL~il0~:3 MOTION T~}\_NSPORTATIOf J E-bikes and e-motos offer significant benefits to the individual and society, including improved cardiovascular health, reduced commuting costs, and eco-friendly transportation. Key perks include easy parking, improved mental well-being, ability to move children, groceries, or cargo, and greater accessibility for older riders or those with injuries. 66% of trips taken every day in the City of Los Angeles are 5 miles or less and e-bikes and e-motos provide a non-car transportation mode for Angelenos to get around. According to UCLA's Department of Transportation, studies have shown that people who ride e- bikes do it often and for farther distances, enabling moderate exercise. Modest activity (say 30 minutes a day of movement) helps with enhanced physical fitness, improved cardiovascular function, muscle strengthening, reduced inflammation, improved mental health like better mood and lower stress, and enriched sleep quality. Being able to go faster also makes e-biking safer, as riders are traveling more at the speed of traffic compared to vehicles. Crashes involving electric mopeds and electric motorcycles in Los Angeles and the surrounding Southern California region have surged recently, leading to increased law enforcement crackdowns and a rise in emergency room visits. Local authorities report a significant increase in trauma cases, including head injuries and fractures , particularly among juvenile riders. Just recently in March of 2026 a teenager on a street illegal electric motorcycle crashed into an elderly pedestrian, gravely injuring her. E-bikes are classified into three main categories based on speed and motor assistance type, primarily to define where they can be legally ridden. Class 1 is pedal-assist only up to 20 mph. Class 2 includes a throttle and pedal-assist, also capped at 20 mph. Class 3 is pedal-assist only, with speeds up to 28 mph. Class 1 and 2 are usually allowed on bike paths and conventional bicycle infrastructure, while Class 3 is typically restricted to road use and requires riders to be 16 or older. All Class 3 riders must wear helmets, while Class 1 and 2 riders under 18 are required to wear helmets. Electric motos and mopeds, on the other hand, are not street legal out of the box. They are marketed to teens and parents of teens as a fun, efficient way to get around, but they often lack the required elements to make them legal, such as tum signals, proper lights, and license plates. Additionally, they require that riders have a Ml (motorcycle) license, which is not disclosed to those purchasing them. Nearly all reported crashes are from illegal devices, not legal e-bikes. Citing near misses, traumatic injuries and fatal crashes, state lawmakers have introduced a flurry of bills to regulate e-bikes and e-motos. At least nine bills are making their way through the Legislature this session, each proposing new rules and safety precautions. It is important for the City to monitor and advocate for changes at the state level, while thoughtfully considering local regulations to protect the safety and welfare of Angelenos. WE THEREFORE MOVE to INSTRUCT the Department of Transportation, with the assistance of the City of Los Angeles Bicycle Advisory Committee, the City Attorney's Office, the Los Angeles Police Department, the Bureau of Street Services, and Metro, to report back within 90 days with recommendations to regulate e-bikes, e-motos and electric mopeds, that may include:  • Requiring all e-bikes, e-motos and electric mopeds in the City of Los Angeles to meet all legal standards and requirements; • Banning the sale or resale of e-bikes, e-motos and electric mopeds that do not meet the legal standards and requirements; • Banning the conversion or assisting in the conversion of e-bikes to a higher class or e-moto or electric moped; • Banning the sale of e-motos or electric mopeds which are not street legal out of the box and/or which require a Ml driver's license to be operated legally; • Requiring educational learning for all riders under 18 or who do not have a driver's license; and, • Rules for the storage and charging of e-bikes, e-motos and electric mopeds to prevent hazardous waste and battery fires. WE FURTHER MOVE to INSTRUCT the Chief Legislative Analyst to report back on pending state legislation related to e-bikes, e-motos, and similar mobility devices (e.g. AB 1492, AB 1557, AB 1569, AB 1614, AB 2346, AB 2595, and SB 1167) and provide recommendations and draft resolutions of support for those bills that are in the interest of the safety and welfare of the residents of the City of Los Angeles. WE FURTHER MOVE to REQUEST the Los Angeles Police Commission, with the assistance of the LAPD and the City Attorney' s Office, to require the annual publication of data one-bike, e- moto and electric moped collisions, injuries, and deaths that includes enough identifying information to allow policy makers to make any necessary adjustments to increase the safety and welfare of our residents.
