PERSONNEL, AUDITS, & ANIMAL WELrn:
MOTION
The 2022-23 Adopted City Budget includes a hiring plan of 780 Pohce recruits, with 13 classes
of 60 recruits each. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.org; 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 twothirds (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 SergeantAtArms with
35 copies. Otherwise, your materials will simply be added to the official record.
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.
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.

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

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.
