The WC 2035 Plan includes a set of transportation improvements necessary to offset anticipated growth and development in the plan area. The multi-modal transportation improvement plan includes transit, streetscape, transportation demand management, neighborhood traffic calming, intersection, and roadway improvements. Through coordination among the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT), Council District 3, and the WC 2035 Plan Implementation Board, the following eight locations were prioritized for traffic signal upgrades, installation of left-tum arrows, enhanced pedestrian crosswalks, and ADA-compliant curb ramps: • Burbank Boulevard and Fallbrook A venue • Shoup A venue and Victory Boulevard • Victory Boulevard and Corbin Avenue • Burbank Boulevard/Crebs Avenue and Ventura Boulevard • Fallbrook A venue and Ventura Boulevard • Owensmouth Avenue and Vanowen Street • Erwin Street and Glade A venue • Erwin Street and Owensmouth Avenue Funding for design of these mobility improvements is estimated to be $140,000. Sufficient funding is available from the Warner Center Trust Fund. I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council AUTHORIZE the Department of Transportation (LADOT) to appropriate $140,000 within the Warner Center Transportation Improvement Trust Fund No. 573 from Available Cash Balance to the Warner Center Intersections Account No. 94S696 for the completion of design of mobility improvements at the eight intersections noted in the body of this motion.

I The City of Los Angeles (the "City") entered into that certain Temporary Ease n Agreement with 9940 Jefferson, LLC ("Owner") (as successor-in-interest to NantWorks, LLC) on June 28, 2017 (the "Temporary Easement Agreement") to provide the City a temporary easement ("Jefferson Boulevard Easement") over 9940 Jefferson Boulevard in Culver City, California, for the City to access the Odor Control Facility it owns on APN 4296-001-276 ("OCF Property"). Pursuant to the terms of the Temporary Easement Agreement, the City and Owner agreed to use reasonable efforts to obtain a more efficient easement to provide vehicular access to the OCF Property directly from College Boulevard ("College Blvd Easement"). Upon obtaining the College Blvd Easement, the Jefferson Boulevard Easement would automatically terminate. However, in the event the College Blvd Easement was not obtained by June 27, 2020, then the Jefferson Boulevard Easement would become permanent. As the College Blvd Easement was not expected to be obtained by this date, the City approved the First Amendment to Temporary Easement Agreement on June 11, 2020, which amendment provided for a three year extension (until June 27, 2023) to obtain the College Blvd Easement. As the City and Owner desire the more efficient College Blvd Easement for the City's access to the OCF Property, but the College Blvd Easement is not ready for truck access (with the current three-year extension expiring on June 27, 2023), the City and Owner mutually desire to extend the term of the temporary Jefferson Boulevard Easement for another three years. Action is needed to authorize and execute a second three-year extension to allow for additional time to obtain the College Blvd Easement and to prevent the temporary Jefferson Boulevard Easement from becoming permanent. I THEREFORE MOVE that the General Services Department be instructed and authorized to prepare, process and execute the necessary document(s) to extend by an additional three years the Temporary Easement Agreement with Owner, to use the Jefferson Boulevard Easement to access the Odor Control Facility [APN 4296-001-276]. ~~ fEB 2 2 2023  ' I -TO CITY CL.FIi REG f -·-- - -Rit FOP: P!Jf' PA,-.,------- LLAR COUNr'/1 A"£:,.•vL,::.fvT m1 ,,,..U 'J ---- ---""•;·, MoT1 . L.

This required a $16.8 million General Fund subsidy to offset revenue shortfalls and support the Zoo's operating budget during the closure, as well as during limited capacity operations. On October 1, 2021, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) opened the application process for the Endangered Species COVID-19 Relief (ESCR) grant. Under a cooperative agreement between AZA and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) through the American Rescue Plan Act, there has been $30,000,000 made available in federal funding to agencies for the care of captive species listed under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, rescued and confiscated wildlife, and Federal Trust species. This funding provides reimbursements to eligible facilities that cared for endangered and threatened species and rescued and confiscated wildlife and that experienced earned revenue losses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The total maximum funding request per facility is $1 million. Due to the highly competitive nature of this grant program and small application window, on November 1, 2021, the Department of the Zoo submitted its application to the AZA on behalf of the City of Los Angeles. The Zoo was subsequently awarded a maximum grant of $1 million on November 21, 2022, and the funds were received and deposited in the Zoo Enterprise Trust Fund on December 20, 2022. The Department of the Zoo now requests authority to retroactively accept the $1 million ESCR grant award and authorize a transfer of the grant funds to the Reserve Fund in order to reimburse the General Fund for its appropriation to the Zoo in Fiscal Years 2019-20 and 2020-21 . I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council, subject to the approval of the Mayor: 1. Authorize the General Manager of the Los Angeles Zoo, or designee, to retroactively apply for the Endangered Species COVID-19 Relief Grant; 2. Authorize the General Manager of the Los Angeles Zoo, or designee, to accept the Endangered Species COVID-19 Relief Grant award in the amount of $1,000,000 for the qualifying time period for reimbursement expenses of March 1, 2020 through May 31, 2021 and submit any other necessary agreements and documents relative to the FEB 2 2 2023 implementation of this program, subject to the review and approval of the City Attorney as to form and legality; 3. Authorize the Controller to set up a grants receivable account and appropriate $1 ,000,000 in the Zoo Enterprise Trust Fund No. 40E/87, Appropriation Account to be determined, for the disbursement of the Endangered Species COVID-19 Relief Grant funding ; 4. Transfer $1 ,000,000 from the Zoo Enterprise Trust Fund No. 40E/87, Appropriation Account to be determined, to the Reserve Fund, to reimburse funding provided during the pandemic in 2019-20 and 2020-21; and 5. Authorize the General Manager of the Los Angeles Zoo , or designee, to prepare Controller instructions and/or make technical adjustments that may be required to implement the actions approved by the Mayor and Council on this matter, subject to the approval of the City Administrative Officer and authorize the Controller to implement these instructions. PRESENTED BY: ~'~ Councilmember, 4th District- ~11 SECONDED BY:  MOTION TRANSPORTATION In 2022, over 300 people were killed by traffic violence in the City of Los Angeles, and over 1,500 people were severely injured . These numbers increased over the previous two years, with a six percent rise in the number of people killed compared to this time last year. We must do everything in our power to reverse and reduce this tragic trend line . According to the City's Vision Zero Safety Study, speeding is the most common violation category among collisions, contributing to 35% of al I fatal coll is ions citywide. Vehicle speed aggravates the severity of crashes. When a driver traveling at 40 miles per hour strikes a person walking, that person only has a 10% chance of survival. Those that do survive often experience severe, debilitating injuries with negative health and mobility impacts for the rest of their lives. Currently the City does not have any formal programs to implement speed mitigation measures on Atterial Streets (with classifications of Boulevard I, Boulevard II , Avenue l, Avenue II, and Avenue Ill in Mobility Plan 2035 , the City of Los Angeles ' Circulation Element of the City ' s General Plan). The only existing speed mitigation program, the Residential Speed Hump program, operates on Local and Collector streets in residential areas. Industrial or commercial areas and roads that pass through open space are not included. Despite "Target Operating Speeds" of 35 mph for Boulevards I and 11, Avenue I (and all other street classifications, including other A1terials, less than that) being built into the Complete Streets Design Guide, A1terial streets are not programmatically designed to hit those Target Operating Speeds, or to lower speeds in general. For the past three years, the Department of Transpottation (LADOT) has been piloting locations for "speed tables" on Atterial streets. Speed tables are longer than speed humps, allowing the the front and rear axles of the average car to pass over the table with reduced risk of scraping the chassis on the pavement below. They are also lower and flatter than humps, allowing cars to safely pass over them at a higher rate of speed. Speed tables are compatible with emergency vehicles. While these pilot speed table installations have shown positive results, the City needs to create an annual traffic safety program focused on engineering our Arterial and non-residential Local and Collector streets so that each street achieves its Target Operating Speed or less and that excessive speeds are mitigated. The City also needs to create a data-driven methodology for prioritization. Existing pilot locations offer a sta11ing point for such a program, and they should be evaluated fully. I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the Depattment of Transportation to report back in 90 days, with an evaluation of previously installed pilot speed table locations, including staffing resources expended, capital expenditures, and effectiveness. I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council instruct the Depa1tment of Transpo1tation to report back, within 120 days, on the creation of an annual speed safety program for Atierial and non-residential Local and Collector street speed mitigation, including proposed program criteria, scale, treatments, community engagement, evaluation metrics, and any necessary staff resources and funding needed to implement the program .
