Summary: On March 4, 2025, the Economic Development and Jobs (EDJ) Committee considered a Motion (Rodriguez – Park) relative to employment opportunities available for the local workforce in the City of Los Angeles in connection with the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Summer Games. According to the Motion, Los Angeles has taken the Olympic torch from Paris, and will serve as the host of the next Olympic and Paralympic Summer Games in 2028. The 2028 Games, independently operated by LA28, are expected to bring tens of thousands of athletes, and millions of visitors, to the City to experience these world-class events, and with it great opportunity for the businesses and workforce of Los Angeles. As part of the Games Agreement, the City Council approved the creation of three working groups to aid in Olympic and Paralympic Games Planning, including the Local Hire Working Group (LHWG). The LHWG is tasked with developing and implementing a program to ensure that the 2028 Games workforce is fully representative of the diversity of Los Angeles, including programs for youth and transitional workers, and a volunteer program to maximize public benefit in connection with the 2028 Games. The LHWG is actively developing recommendations to ensure employment opportunities are available to the local workforce. The City should provide information to the LHWG relative to resources currently available to engage with the employment system in Los Angeles and ensure the LHWG's recommendations are robust and achievable for the 2028 Games. After consideration and after having provided an opportunity for public comment, the EDJ Committee moved to recommend approval of the Motion. Subsequently, on March 26, 2026, the Ad Hoc Committee on the 2028 Olympics and Paralympic Games also considered this Motion. After further consideration and having also provided an opportunity for public comment, the Ad Hoc Committee moved to concur with the EDJ Committee. This matter is now submitted to Council for its consideration.

Maintaining sanitary conditions within these facilities is essenti al to prevent the pread of dis~ase , en ure the mental and physical well-being of the animals, and protect the health of staff and vi itor . The clean line and proper sanitation of kennels arc particularly important in preventing the tran mission of zoonotic diseases, such as kennel cough, giardia, and other contagious conditions, which can signi ticantly impact the hea lth of animals housed in these facilities. Previous concerns have been ra ised about the consistency and adequacy of the current cleaning procedures in some city-run shelters, suggesting a need for more standardized cleaning practices. The Ci ty of Lo Angeles ha a responsibility to uphold high standards of animal welfare and ensure that the cleaning protocols meet the needs of public health, safety, and the hwnane treatment of animals. J THEREFORE 1OYE that the City Council direct the Department of Animal Service to produce a comprehen ive report in 30 days detailing the current kennel cleaning procedures, including frequency, protocols, and any standard ser forth by the City of Los Angeles. This report should also include any identi ficd areas for improvement or additional resources required to meet the highest sthndards of cleanliness and animal care. PREE TED BY: ~ j\,("" Tl
