I FURTHER MOVE that the City Clerk be authorized to make any technical corrections or clarifications as necessary to the above fund transfer instructions in order to effectuate the intent of this Motion. SECONDED BY: ak N\Ptfv AUG 18 2023  BUDGET & FINANCE MOTION Over the last several years, the Fire Department (LAFD) participated in three programs operated by the State of California that enabled the City to receive additional revenues to reimburse the City for a portion of the costs associated with emergency medical transports provided to Medi-Cal patients. These programs consisted of the Ground Emergency Medical Transport {GEMT) Program, which provided the City with revenue based on cost reporting related to Medi-Cal "Fee- for-Service" patients; the Intergovernmental Transfer (!GT) Program, which enabled the City to receive additional Federal funds for services provided to Medi-Cal "Managed Care" patients, and the Quality Assurance Fee (QAF), which enabled the City to secure supplemental Federal funds for all Medi-Cal patients. Both the IGT and QAF programs required the LAFD to make quarterly payments to the State Government, which were offset by the increased revenue realized as a result of the City's participation in these programs. Effective January 1, 2023, these three programs were consolidated into a single new program, the Public Provider Ground Emergency Transport (PP-GEMT) Intergovernmental Transfer (IGT) program. This program, like its predecessors, require the City to make quarterly payments to the State Department of Healthcare Services to participate. These payments are offset by increased revenues, and will have a positive impact on the General Fund. However, these payments are much larger than previous payments. For calendar year 2023, the estimated payment is $28.9 million which includes a 10% admin fee of $2.6 million. This requires three payments in 2023: June 15, September 15 and December 15. Participation in these programs is a benefit to the City, and the Department estimatesthat the City will net approximately $18 million as a result of the PP-GEMT IGT program, an increase of over $4 million over receipts under the older programs. In the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Adopted Budget, $6.7 million was included in the Unappropriated Balance to be used for the September 15, 2023 payment. The Department will be require to transfer the additional amount of $12,684,971.34 internally to make the second and third installment payments. I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council: 1. Authorize a transfer from the Unappropriated Balance in the amount of $6,700,000 to Fire Department Fund 100/38, Contractual Services Account 003040 to cover a portion of the September 15, 2023 PP-GEMT IGT payment; 2. Authorize the Controller to transfer $12,684,971.34 within the Fire Department Fund 100/38, Salaries Sworn, Account 001012 to the Contractual Services Account 003040; 3. Direct the Fire Department to Electronically transfer $8,811,350.61 from Fire Department Fund 100/38, Contractual Services, Account 003040 to the State Department of Health Care Services by no later than September 15, 2023 for the Department's payment for participation in the PP-GEMT IGT Program; 4. Authorize the Fire Department to make payments for the PP-GEMT ITG Program in accordance with deadlines established by the State Department of Health Care Services, upon receipt of invoices, and report on the status of the program in subsequent FSRs; 5. Direct the City Administrative Officer to report in future Financial Status Reports on any necessary transfers and transactions needed to ensure fire services are not impacted; and 6. Authorize the Fire Department, subject to the approval of the City Administrative Officer, to prepare Controller instructions for any technical adjustments to comply with the intent of this Motion, and authorize the Controller to implement the instructions. SECONDED BY: ? Councilwoman, 7th District C) PK  NEIGHBORHOOD & COMMUNITY ENRICHMENT MOTION Reynier Park in Council District 10 is in need of many capital improvements including· cameras and lighting, removing and replacing pergolas, replacing drinking fountains with sport bottle fills, replacing the playground equipment, installing new benches, relocating existing benches, and installing exercise equipment. This effort is of vital benefit to the community which is served by Reynier Park and there are Council District 10 Quimby Funds which could be designated for this purpose. I THEREFORE MOVE that the Department of Recreation and Parks be directed to report with a comprehensive and detailed work plan and schedule for making capital improvements at Reynier Park in Council District 10 to be funded by $700,000 in CD-10 Quimby Funds. PRESENTED BY HEATHER HUTT Councilwoman, 10th District ak AUG 18 2023 PK  PLANNING & LAND USE MANAGEMENT MOTION PUBLIC WORKS Hillside communities in Los Angeles are met with unique challenges as they are vulnerable to natural disasters _like wildfires, earthquakes, and mudslides from extremely heavy rains like the ones the City experienced this past winter. In Council District 4, a property owner at 3585 Multiview Drive in Studio City has failed to properly secure and stabilize the hillside on the property after multiple orders to comply from the Department of Building and Safety. After the extraordinarily intense rainy season of 2023, and in anticipation of more unprecedented wet weather patterns, a proactive and timely approach is essential to ensure hillside stabilization requirements are met and to maximize public safety. City action may be the only pathway left available in the case of 3585 Multiview Drive to ensure corrections to the slope failure on the property are made expeditiously before the Los Angeles rainy season returns. I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council instruct the Bureau of Engineering and the Department of Building and Safety, with the assistance of the City Administrative Officer, to report on the feasibility of and cost estimate for the City to complete the pennanent hillside stabilization for the property located on 3585 Multiview Drive, including potential funding sources to complete the work, and recommendations on options for reimbursement. PRESENTED BY: mi(oo.RAMAN Councilmember, 4th District SECONDED BY: .._ = ,: M AUG 182023  PUBLIC SAFETY MOTION Every year , the period around the 4th of July is the busiest call volume for the Fire Department. The loud and persistent sounds caused by unpermitted firework demonstrations across the City bring stress and anxiety to animals, both large and small, as well as to some military veterans. In 2021, while speaking with the Mission Division Quality of Life Community-Police Advisory Board, we had the idea of holding a City of Los Angeles Anonymous Fireworks Buyback Program (Program). In 2021, we held the first buyback event, and it was a success. A quarter of a ton of illegal fireworks were collected in exchange for gift cards, and Dodger tickets. For the last 3 years, the Program has collaborated with the Police Department's Valley Bureau, Bomb Squad and Mission Division. The Program's buyback events have helped remove nearly a half ton of fireworks and given people a safe way to dispose of them. Expanding the Council District 7 Fireworks Buyback Program citywide would help reduce the stress felt by military veterans and animals, as well as reduce the fire risk and calls for service to the Fire Department. In addition to expanding the Program citywide, the City should offer buyback events on other holidays that experience widespread use of fireworks, such as New Year's Eve. I THEREFORE MOVE that the Police Department (LAPD), with the assistance of the Fire Department, City Administrative Officer, and the Chief Legislative Analyst report to Council on resources required and potential funding sources for operating the Fireworks Buyback Program in every LAPD Bureau for the 4th of July holiday, as well as with a plan to expand the Program to include more locations and other firework heavy holidays. SECONDED BY: _- - - - - - - - - - AUG 182023  PUBLIC SAFETY MOTION In the past few weeks, the deadliest domestic wildfires in more than a century have devastated Maui, Hawaii. As of August 18, 2023, at least 111 people have died, and another 1,000 people remain unaccounted for. Thousands of buildings, mostly homes, have been destroyed. Insured property losses have climbed to over three billion dollars. Due to the planet's warming, the risk of such wildfires will grow higher, including in Los Angeles. In California, nine of the 20 largest wildfires ever recorded have occurred in the last three years, costing tens of billions of dollars in damages and hundreds of lives. Despite this past year's extensive rain, just last month, three brush fires burned hundreds of acres in Southern California, including in north Los Angeles County. Although the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), the Emergency Management Department (EMD) and the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) have done much to prepare for such a scenario, the City should consider what more can be done, especially in the City's hillside areas with very little ingress and egress. In addition, the public needs to understand how Los Angeles residents can help prevent such fires, and how best to protect themselves in the event of such fires. Further outreach efforts must be made so the public can quickly respond to potential emergency situations. I THEREFORE MOVE that LAFD, EMD and LAPD be instructed to report to the Council on the following matters: 1. What measures the City has taken to reduce the risk of rapidly spreading wildfires; 2. What measures are in place to ensure a rapid response that will reduce the impact of such a fire if it does occur; 3. What additional resources and actions are needed to better prepare the City for such an occurrence; 4. What members of the public need to know to promote their own safety in such an event; 5. Recommendations on better informing the public on these issues and improving the public's safety against the risks of wildfire.
