FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (FINAL EIR), CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
ACT (CEQA) FINDINGS, STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS, and MITIGATION
MONITORING PROGRAM (MMP); ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the
certification of the Final EIR and approval of the Silver Lake Reservoir Complex (SLRC) Master Plan
Project (Project), located in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR:
1. CERTIFY that:
a. The Final EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2022010055), included as a weblink and identified
as Transmittal 1 in the Bureau of Engineering (BOE) report dated July 19, 2023, attached
to the Council file, was completed in compliance with CEQA.
b. The Final EIR presented to the Council, as the decision-making body of the City of Los
Angeles (City).
c. The Council reviewed and considered the information contained in the Final EIR.
d. The Final EIR reflects and expresses the City’s independent judgment and analysis.
2. ADOPT the Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations, included as Transmittal 2 of said
BOE report dated July 19, 2023, attached to the Council file.
3. ADOPT the MMP, included as Transmittal 2 of said BOE report dated July 19, 2023, attached to
the Council file.
4. SPECIFY that the documents constituting the record of proceedings in this matter are at the Office
of the City Clerk, 200 North Spring Street, Los Angeles, California 90012; at the Department of
Public Works, BOE, 1149 South Broadway, Suite 600, Los Angeles, California 90015; and any
other relevant City department.
5. APPROVE the proposed Project as described in the Final EIR, to redesign approximately 116 acres
of the 127-acre SLRC with community park amenities, which includes the construction of various
community park facilities and allowing some new public park uses within portions of the SLRC,
located in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The BOE reports that approval of the proposed Project and certification of the
EIR does not have a direct fiscal impact as there is no obligation of funding. However, it does enable
fundraising efforts to be initiated while funding sources are pursued. Upon certification of the EIR, the City
would work to identify a site operator and potential sources of funding for design and construction, such
as Federal, State, and City special funds, general funds, and grant funding. Non-profit grants and donations
may also be potential sources of funding. It is possible that the proposed Project would be implemented in
phases, as funding is secured.
Community Impact Statement: None submitted
Summary:
At a special meeting held on August 4, 2023, your Committee considered the BOE report relative to the
certification of the Final EIR and approval of the proposed Project located in the Silver Lake neighborhood.
Representatives of Council District 13 provided comments in support of certifying the Final EIR and
approval of the proposed Project. BOE staff provided an overview of the proposed Project, community
engagement process, environmental review process for preparation of the Final EIR, and potential funding
sources for the proposed Project. Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) staff provided
an overview of LADWP facility operations at the SLRC. Office of Public Accountability staff discussed
matters related to LADWP funding.
After providing an opportunity for public comment, the Committee recommended to approve the
recommendations contained in the BOE report dated July 19, 2023, as detailed above. This matter is now
submitted to the Council for consideration.

PERSONNEL, AUDITS, AND HIRING COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the 2023-27
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Police Officers, Lieutenant and Below
Representation Unit (MOU 24).
Recommendations for Council action:
1. APPROVE the 2023-27 MOU for the Police Officers, Lieutenant and Below
Representation Unit (MOU 24), represented by the Los Angeles Police Protective
League (LAPPL).
2. AUTHORIZE the City Administrative Officer (CAO) and the Controller to correct
any clerical or, if approved by the City Attorney, technical errors in the MOU.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the proposed successor MOU will have
the following estimated General Fund impacts: Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24, $123 million;
FY 2024-25, $75 million; FY 2025-26, $91 million; FY 2026-27, $95 million.
Community Impact Statement: None submitted.
Summary:
On August 23, 2023, your Committee considered an August 18, 2023 CAO report relative
to the 2023-27 MOU for the Police Officers, Lieutenant and Below Representation Unit
(MOU 24). According to the CAO, the LAPPL represents Police Officers, Sergeants,
Detectives, and Lieutenants employed exclusively by the Los Angeles Police Department
(LAPD). The LAPD currently faces significant challenges, particularly in the areas of
recruiting and hiring new officers and retaining officers once they have completed their
academy training. LAPD staffing has declined by more than 1,000 officers since FY 2019-
20, with recruit classes far below capacity and attrition higher than historic averages. As
a result, Department leadership reports difficulties in staffing critical public-facing
assignments.
The Executive Employee Relations Committee (EERC) has issued bargaining
instructions to this Office designed to address the severe staffing challenges facing the
LAPD. Specifically, the proposed MOU by recommended by the EERC is structured to
achieve three objectives: 1) improve recruiting and hiring of new officers; 2) retain new
and experienced officers; and 3) incentivize critical public safety functions.
Negotiations between the LAPPL and the City for a successor MOU 24 (to the MOU that
expired in June 2023) began in January 2023 and concluded in late July 2023 when a
Tentative Agreement (TA) was reached between the parties. On August 9, 2023, the
EERC instructed the CAO to transmit the TA, pending ratification by the LAPPL
membership, to the City Council for its consideration. On August 10, 2023, the LAPPL
notified the City that the TA was ratified by its membership. Key provisions of the TA for
a successor MOU 24 are highlighted in Attachment A of the CAO report. After
consideration and having provided an opportunity for public comment, the Committee
moved to recommend approval of the recommendation contained in the CAO report. This
matter is now submitted to Council for its consideration.

Requests for reasonable modification or accommodation from individuals with disabilities, consistent with the Americans
with Disabilities Act can be made by contacting the City Clerk's Office at (213) 9781133. 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.

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.

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.

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

REPORT relative to the certification of the Final EIR and approval of the
Silver Lake Reservoir Complex (SLRC) Master Plan Project (Project),

a. The Final EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2022010055),

redesign approximately 116 acres of the 127acre SLRC with
community park amenities, which includes the construction of

neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The BOE reports that approval of the proposed
Project and certification of the EIR does not have a direct fiscal impact as
there is no obligation of funding. However, it does enable fundraising
efforts to be initiated while funding sources are pursued. Upon certification
of the EIR, the City would work to identify a site operator and potential
sources of funding for design and construction, such as Federal, State,
and City special funds, general funds, and grant funding. Nonprofit grants
and donations may also be potential sources of funding. It is possible that
the proposed Project would be implemented in phases, as funding is
secured.
