Funding to hire 625 recruits is in the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Budget. To date, three classes totaling 99 recruits have been hired. Several factors have been cited for contributing to a decline in applicants to become Los Angeles Police Officers, namely delays in the hiring process and competitive compensation incentives. The LAPD experienced a significant increase in sworn attrition, due to retirements and resignations to other agencies and fields of work. Currently, LAPD staffing levels have dipped to 9,226 sworn personnel, down from the peak sworn deployment of 10,072 in January 2019. These circumstances arc not unique to the LAPD, with many law enforcement agencies experiencing the same challenges. Industries across the country, including law enforcement, are offering bonuses to attract more diverse candidates. To stay competitive in the labor market, many agencies have found that offering a hiring bonus provided them a competitive advantage and subsequently have adjusted their recruitment initiatives and budgets to earmark funding for hiring bonuses. Law enforcement agencies throughout California, including Anaheim, Antioch, Bakersfield, Bay Area Rapid Transit, Beverly Hills, Chico, Colton, Dixon, Kem County Sheriff, Redding, San Diego Police, San Diego Sheriff, and San Gabriel Police Department all have hiring bonuses. I Attrition among civilian personnel, which provide critical support roles, has also borne an impact on deployment with sworn personnel serving in roles which would otherwise be filled by civilian staffing. A bonus hiring plan would allow the Department to immediately move hundreds of sworn officers out of civilian desk jobs and return to patrol. To gain eligibility for such a bonus, the plan would need to contain criteria that distinguishes between bonuses for new hires and lateral hires. Spreading a bonus out over time better incentivizes a longer term commitment and would mitigate the immediate budgetary impact. Moreover, the hiring process managed by personnel has remained stagnant and requires reform to ensure qualified candidates are considered and reviewed in an expedited manner to prevent the limited candidate pool from pursuing other opportunities due to the slow pace of hire. Facing the continued attrition related to retirements and current staffing needs, a bonus hiring plan should be explored for both civilian and sworn positions, with an emphasis on filling the immediate needs of civilian staffing to return sworn personnel to the fulfill the roles they were prepared and trained to serve. I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the Personnel Department, with the assistance of the LAPD, to report back within 30 days with a plan to accelerate the hiring process for civilian and sworn personnel and to include a proposed plan for a hiring incentive that is designed to mitigate attrition and promote local hire. I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council instruct the Personnel Department, with the assistance of the LAPD, to report back with a proposal to attract applicants for civilian and non- specialized administrative positions, as well as for positions classified under "Police Service Representative 2207". I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council instruct the City Administrative Officer to identify and report back with funding to implement the aforementioned hiring bonus plans in the Fiscal Year 2022-23 as well as for the next three years. PUBLIC WORKS MOTION Los Angeles has many pedestrian walkways and jogging paths that are beloved by their local neighbors and important community recreational assets. These facilities-which range from informal dirt use trails to fully developed rubberized tracks-are commonly inthe public right of way and at properties owned or operated by the City. Some pedestrian facilities, like the track around Evergreen Cemetery in Boyle Heights and the walking trail around Silver Lake Reservoir, are well-known destinations that draw users from miles away, while others are primarily known only to neighbors. As part of promoting community health and environmental sustainability, the City should encourage walking for recreation and transportation through the construction and maintenance of pedestrian pathways, including supporting historical use of informal facilities. Maintaining and upgrading informal facilities, which may be unimproved dirt trails today, may require especially careful design to maintain the historic and/or natural character of the pathway while ensuring equal access to all pedestrians. For example, the City's Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan envisions a paved bike path along the south and west sides of the River, and multi-use paths on the north and east sides of the River constructed using permeable natural surfaces, such as decomposed granite. The City lacks clear guidance for the design, construction, and maintenance of alternative surface walkways within the public right of way, including determining which surfaces are appropriate for which contexts and how to ensure accessibility standards are achieved in the public right of way. Communities and City staff alike should have the information needed to be able to know when a pedestrian walkway can be constructed with alternative materials, the specific technical requirements applicable to the walkway, and its required maintenance. I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council direct the Bureau of Engineering (BOE), StreetsLA, and Department of Recreation and Parks to report in 90 days with a process and timeline for the development and adoption of policies and/or standards for the construction and maintenance of alternative surfaces for pedestrian walkways in the public right of way and at City owned or operated facilities, as well as criteria for when the use of these alternative surfaces is appropriate. PRESENTED BY: c::c Councilmemher, 3 z CJ cc SECONDED BY: C) INFORMATION, TECHNOLOGY AND GENERAL SERViL, MOTION Community Impact Statements (CIS) have long been a powerful tool for our for Neighborhood Councils to play an integral advisory role in City government. Community Impact Statements are designed to publicly express a Neighborhood Council's support, opposition, and suggestions about any item pending before the City Council, its committees, or City Commissions. Boardmembers of Neighborhood Councils throughout the City have discovered that many of the Community Impact Statements filed via the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment's CIS Portal had not been transmitted to the correct destination or at times had not been not transmitted at all. While the CIS filings for City Council and Committees have been working as normal, a number of City Commissions did not have functional or updated email addresses on the CIS Portal, leading to a disconnection in the portal service. Neighborhood Councils spend hours coming together to discuss their neighborhoods' best interests and vote on taking official positions on how items before City governmental bodies will impact their respective communities. As such, we must ensure that any errors or disruptions in getting Community Impact Statements to the appropriate channels be addressed. I THEREFORE MOVE, that the City Council instruct the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment to report back in 45 days on the status of the Community Impact Statement Portal, including the issues that led to numerous Community Impact Statements not being transmitted, the length of time the errors were present in the system, the list of the City Commissions that were impacted by not having the correct email configurations on the portal, the number of Community Impact Statements that were not transmitted as intended by the Neighborhood Councils, and the steps that have been taken to remedy the issue and prevent this from happening again in the future. I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council instruct the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment, with the assistance of the Information Technology Agency, to report back in 45 days on the necessary technological upgrades needed to the Community Impact Statement Portal to ensure that the submission of Community Impact Statements are as seamless and streamlined as possible and that technical issues of this sort will not arise in the future. PRESENTED BY: p NITHYA AN SECONDED BY: ()?J 1 Councilmember, 4th District Motion IMMIGRANT AFFAIRS,CIVIL RIGHTS AND EQUITY The City of Los Angeles sits on native land. The first peoples of the region are the Tongva, the Tataviam and the Chumash. In 2021, the City of Los Angeles adopted a formal apology in the form of a Resolution (CF: 21-0002-S178) to all Native Tribal Nations which have been injured by historic City actions, including the City's pursuit of water in the Owens Valley. On August 3oth, 2017, the City removed Columbus Day and replaced it with Indigenous Peoples Day, celebrating the inaugural event on August 9th, 2018 with the removal of the Columbus Statue formerly located in front of City Hall in the civic center area, at Grand Park. The City should further increase visibility with native and indigenous communities by starting every first meeting of any official body with a land acknowledgement that recognizes the first people of this region. Land Acknowledgments have historically been conducted by Native Tribal Nations, or hemispheric indigenous communities, such as those indigenous to Los Angeles-the Tongva, the Chumash, or the Tataviam, and other national and international tribal communities. Los Angeles is a world city, and boasts residents the world over, including tribal indigenous leaders. It is therefore appropriate for the first council and commission meetings of the month to begin with an acknowledgment of Indigenous and Native Tribal Nations, in order to demonstrate respect and support for Indigenous Tribal Nations everywhere. Any City native land acknowledgment should be informed by local and international tribal nations and indigenous communities, starting first with the tribal nations of the region. The Department of Civil and Human Rights, with the assistance of the Chief Legislative Analyst, should report on the cultural and historic regional components necessary for Council's consideration. Since 2021, Los Angeles County facilitated conversations with tribal nations from the region, focusing on the factual elements needed for a land acknowledgement policy; the County process included 7 tribal nations, out of 22 that were invited. The City Department of Civil and Human Rights should work with the County, and the Native American I Indian Commission, and local tribal nations to ensure an accurate policy. I THEREFORE MOVE that the Civil and Human Rights Department, in collaboration with the Los Angeles City I County Native American Indian Commission, and representatives from the Tongva, Tataviam and Chumash tribes, with the assistance of the Chief Legislative Analyst, be DIRECTED to report within 30 days on the creation of a Los Angeles City land acknowledgement policy.

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 peer­to­peer and third­party 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 TIY­Based TRS; Speech­to­Speech Relay Service; Shared Non­English 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/telecommunications­relay­service­trs. 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, hard­of­hearing, or has a speech disability.
