DIRECT the Department of General Services (GSD) to amend the GSD Electric Vehicle Charger Infrastructure Plan (“GSD EV Plan”, Council file No. 14-0079-S2) to include electrification of the fleet, including light and heavy duty vehicles. GSD purchases the 6000 vehicles used by the fleets it maintains.

The plan will prioritize the four largest fleets maintained by GSD as follows: Wednesday - April 6, 2022 - PAGE 1  Bureau of Street Services, Department of Recreation and Parks, Department of Transportation, and Bureau of Sanitation. This Plan shall connect to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) EV Master Plan. 2. DIRECT GSD, in coordination with the Bureau of Engineering (BOE) and LADWP, to assess the potential prioritization and installation of fleet, public, and employee EV chargers at over 600 GSD-maintained buildings and yards. The GSD EV Plan should address current demand and future charging needs to support the electrification of the City’s fleet as well as increased use of EV’s by the public and employees. The plan should also include evaluating the need for Level 2 or Level 3 (fast) chargers, and best practices from both the public and private sector on maximizing shared use such as establishing fleet charging hubs and implementing valet-type services.

GSD, LAFD, LAPD, LAWA and POLA should also provide information to LADWP for the development of the EV Masterplan (Council file No. 21-0890). 5. DIRECT LAPD and LAFD, with the collaboration of GSD, BOE and LADWP, to identify light and heavy duty electric vehicle and charger infrastructure needs within their respective departments to electrify LAPD and LAFD vehicles.

During the "Second Great Migration," her parents moved from Texas to California with hopes of creating a better life for her family and generations to come. In 1955, Ms. Day married her husband Arthur and settled in the Watts community, where she would continue to live for over 70 years. After raising her eight children along with her husband, they provided love, care, and support to numerous children as foster parents. Ms. Day lived a life of service, dedicated to the betterment and advancement of her beloved Watts community. Since her early 20s, Ms. Day ran the Watts Towers Teen Post, affiliated with the Watts Towers Art Center. This space provided a safe place for children after school, promoted community love and pride, and supported the growth of the music and arts culture. Years later after its closure, Ms. Day continued to work locally for the community based non-profit Watts Labor Community Action Committee and the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). Upon retirement from LAUSD, Ms. Day became the Board President and Founder of the Watts Gang Task Force. I THEREFORE MOVE that the Board of Recreation and Parks Commissioners be requested to rename Grape Street Pocket Park, located at 10726 Grape Street, 90059, to Betty F. Day Park, in memory of Betty F. Day and in recognition ofher advocacy for the Watts community. PRESENTEDBY: Jtc,.~ .. ~ JOE BUSCAINO 1 Councilmember, 15th District XT APR 0 6 2022  ENERGY. CLIMATE CHANGE,ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE &RIVER MOTION The 2021 bi-partisan infrastructure plan created the Office of Energy and Transportation within the Department of Energy, a major leap forward in federal management of transportation sector decarbonization. The fast tracking of nationwide electric vehicle (EV) adoption also includes components for professional and safe work requirements meant to ensure safe site conditions for staff and structures. In Los Angeles, the EV infrastructure placement on public property will be done by a combination of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power crews and outside contract forces. The city's future vehicle charging needs will be diverse: the fleet managed by the General Services Department alone is in excess of 6,000 vehicles; add to that the electrification of heavy duty vehicles within LAPD and LAFD; plus the fleets of the three proprietary departments (Los Angeles World Airports, the Port of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power). As the City considers the wide expansion of EV infrastructure for its fleet and for city residents, a review of contractual workforce standards is warranted. On March 3rd, 2022 the Energy, Environmental Justice, Climate Change and Los Angeles River Committee approved Council Files 21-0890 (Electric Vehicle Master Plan), and 21-1132 (Zero Emission Transportation working group) with respect to the electrification of vehicles, including other jurisdictions regionally. The organization of all city sites, including parks, libraries and public rights-of-way will result in the mass deployment of EV charging infrastructure citywide. Recently, the State of California set an ambitious goal of approximately 2 1h million EVs throughout the state by 2025. As of 2021, Los Angeles residents own approximately 83,000 plug-in EVs throughout the City; the City has set a goal of having at least 250,000 plug-in EVs by 2025, 10% of the statewide registered fleet. By 2030, the Department of Water and Power projects the LA region having over 750,000 plug-in EVs, and a projected 2030 EV infrastructure gap of over 97,000 level 2 chargers and approximately 2500 level 3 chargers. Policies such as the EV Master Plan and Zero Emissions task force are key to ensure that the City meets the moment. On September 30th 2020, California Assembly Bill 841 (TING) updated workforce requirements that mandated the implementation of the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program (EVITP) for work done on the "customer side of the electrical meter", under certain conditions. A review and update of LA City workforce standards that mirrors the work done by the State of California, as adopted under the California Public Utilities Code 740.20 is warranted to ensure good workforce practices are furthered by the City electrifying the transportation sector. I THEREFORE MOVE that the Chief Procurement Officer, with the assistance of the Bureau of Contract Administration, the Department of General Services, the Department of Water and Power and other relevant City agencies report to Council with a review and recommendations of current contractual workforce standards for Electric Vehicle installations citywide, and to include in this report a plan to to adopt the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program (EVITP), as described in California Public Utilities Code 74-0.20 as part of the Electric Vehicle Master Plan, CF: 21-0890 ' ) -~ Presented By: :m~~ Mitch O'Farrell Councilmember, 13th Di~ Seconded By: " A:.. ~ APR 0 6 2022  RESOLUTION KULES, ELECTIONS, INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATION~ WHEREAS, any official position of the City of Los Angeles with respect to legislation, rules, regulations, or policies proposed to or pending before a local, state, or federal governmental body or agency must have first been adopted in the form ofa Resolution by the City Council with the concurrence of the Mayor; and WHEREAS, Certified Unified Program Agencies (CUPAs) are local agencies that have been certified by the State of California to implement state and federal unified hazardous materials management programs; and WHEREAS, these regulatory programs include prevention and mitigation of the release or potential release of hazardous materials, provision of information on hazardous material regulation compliance, ·and the generation and treatment of hazardous materials; and WHEREAS, there has been a surge of illicit business, including businesses involved in the manufacture of cannabis and sanitizer products, that involve the storage and usage of hazardous materials; and WHEREAS, these illicit businesses have been the cause of explosions, fires, and the release of dangerous chemicals, posing a significant threat to the public, first responders, and the environment; and WHEREAS, on May, 16, 2020, a structure fire in downtown Los Angeles caused undisclosed and illegally stored hazardous materials to ignite, causing a large explosion that injured 11 firefighters; and WHEREAS, AB 2059 (Carrillo), currently pending before the California State Legislature, would require hazardous materials suppliers and handlers to maintain and provide electronic records on the sale, provision, and distribution of hazardous materials; and WHEREAS, the bill would also provide clarifying language to the definitions of consumer products and retail establishments, closing a loophole that allowed certain distributors to claim exemption from regulation; and WHEREAS, the bill would make additional information available to ensure the safety of communities and first responders, as well as allowing local agencies to enforce against illicit businesses, and prevent and prepare for the potential release of hazardous materials; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, with the concurrence of the Mayor, that by the adoption of this Resolution, the City of Los Angeles hereby includes in its 2021-2022 State Legislative Program SUPPORT for AB 2059 (Carrillo) which would require hazardous materials suppliers and handlers to maintain and provide electronic records on the sale, provision, and distribution of hazardous materials.
