The assessment can only be used for capital improvements, acquisition of land, Proposition K Program administration and maintenance of completed projects. The operating cost for Proposition K projects completed in future years will be funded by the annual operating budget adopted Wednesday - April 30, 2025 - PAGE 39  for City departments and with independent funding for projects operated by external entities. For FY 2025-26, $5.33 million in General Fund reimbursements are anticipated for program administration ($0.56 million) and maintenance ($4.77 million), as identified in the findings, Section 3 of said LAFKSC Report. The Department of Recreation and Parks reports an annual fiscal impact of $6.54 million once active Proposition K projects, currently in various stages of development, become operational over future years. This includes $2.24 million for maintenance and $4.30 million for operations, as detailed in Attachments 5 and 6 of said LAFKSC Report. The fiscal impact for completed projects will be partially offset by Proposition K maintenance funding. However, this annual offset will no longer be available once the Proposition K Program ends in 2026-27. In 2024-25, the Department of Recreation and Parks will receive an award of $4.1 million for current year maintenance awards, as detailed in Attachment 9 of said LAFKSC Report.

CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL FINANCE AUTHORITY This meeting was conducted to meet the required Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (TEFRA) Public Hearing for the Gateways Hospital project. This meeting was called to order on Tuesday-April 15, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. via toll free telephone by the California Municipal Finance Authority. A notice of this hearing was published in the Metropolitan News-Enterprise on March 28, 2025 (the "Notice"). The purpose of this meeting was to hear public comments regarding the California Municipal Finance Authority's proposed issuance of bonds or notes for financing and/or refinancing the above referenced project. The California Municipal Finance Authority representatives present was, Anthony Stubbs. By 10:10 a.m. there were no other representatives from the public who made themselves available and no public comments were provided, so the meeting was adjourned. I declare under penalty of perjury that this is a true and exact copy of the TEFRA public hearing meeting minutes regarding the above referenced projects held on April 15, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL FINANCE AUTHORITY ony Stubbs Title: F nancial Advisor  TRANSPORTATfON PUBLIC WORKS MOTION Over the years, the City of Los Angeles has constructed numerous bicycle and pedestrian paths along waterways and transit corridors, including the LA RiverWay, the G (Orange) Line Bike Path, the San Fernando Road Path, the Browns Creek Path, the Ballona Creek Path, the Chandler Boulevard Bike Path, the Expo Line Bike Path, the Harbor Park Path, the Will Rogers State Beach Bike Path, the Arroyo Seco Bike Path, and the Rail to Rail Path. Mobility Plan 2035 calls for expanding this network. Many of these paths are partially or entirely on property owned by entities other than the City- including Metro, the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Los Angeles County Flood Control District, the State of California, Metrolink, private property owners subject to easements, and perhaps others - and are subject to use agreements between the City and the property owner. Some of these paths also lie on property owned by the Department of Recreation and Parks (RAP), necessitating agreements with RAP. Each of these use agreements is negotiated separately, which has resulted in a lack: of consistency regarding which City department is responsible for maintenance and upkeep. In general, the Department of Public Works (DPW) is responsible for maintenance of the public right of way; the Department of Recreation and Parks (RAP) is responsible for maintenance of recreational facilities; and the General Services Department is responsible for maintenance of other City buildings and facilities. Each of these departments has significant maintenance responsibilities, and consequently have large numbers of staff in various maintenance-related job classifications. No department is clearly assigned responsibility for bicycle and multi-paths located on property not owned by the City. By default, the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) is often assigned responsibility for maintaining these paths, but they do not have maintenance personnel. This has often resulted in inadequate maintenance of these facilities, including failure to remedy pavement defects which would be rapidly repaired if they were on a street, in a park, or at a municipal building. It also results in an unacceptable level of City resources being dedicated to negotiating unique use and maintenance agreements for each project, subject to one-off decisions made by general managers at the time each project is planned, and also determining which department is responsible when maintenance needs arise. For this reason, my colleagues introduced Council File 25-0124 to consolidate current maintenance contracts under one City entity. During the current budget crisis, it is essential that the City reduce inefficiencies. Bicycle and multi-use paths serve first and foremost as transportation facilities, similar to streets and sidewalks maintained by the Department of Public Works. Therefore the maintenance of these facilities should be clearly assigned through our code to the Department of Public Works, which has general maintenance expertise, responsibilities, and staffing. One obstacle that has been identified is that the Los Angeles Administrative Code currently provides that DPW is responsible for maintenance of public rights of way "acquired" by the City, which has been interpreted not to include property subject to use agreements. Bike paths look like a street for bicyclists, function as a street, and have the maintenance needs of a street. For maintenance purposes, they should be treated like a street. I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council REQUEST that the City Attorney, in consultation with the Department of Public Works (DPW) and its bureaus, to prepare and present an ordinance amending the Los Angeles Administrative Code to assign the responsibility for maintaining City bicycle and multi use paths to the Department of Public Works; APR 3 0 2025 ~ AJ2R r 9 rozs  I FURTHER MOVE the the Council INSTRUCT the City Administrative Officer, with the cooperation of DPW ••-• and the Department of Transportation, to provide recommendations regarding alignment of staffing and funding to provide an adequate level of of maintenance for bicycle and multi-use paths, at least equal to that provided to streets and sidewalks .. "- C!J PRESENTED BYD ? ~ BOB BLUMENFIELD h/ PRESENTEDBv,D 19 ~~ NITHYA RAMA = Councilmember, 3rd District Councilmember, 4th District Q \  MOTION The voters of the City passed Proposition HHH on November 8, 2016, authorizing the issuance of up to $1.2 billion in general obligation bonds to finance the development of permanent supportive housing for homeless individuals and those at risk of homelessness. The City is facing a severe and persistent homelessness crisis, requiring urgent and comprehensive action. The Housing Department is responsible for administering Proposition HHH funds and overseeing the development of housing projects. Mayor Karen Bass issued Executive Directive 1 (ED 1) to expedite the approval process for 100 percent affordable housing projects and temporary shelters, demonstrating a commitment to streamlining the development of housing solutions for unhoused individuals. ED 1 includes a goal of expediting payments due for affordable housing projects. LAHD's Construction Services Unit is the first unit to receive and process payment drawdown requests for projects in active construction, before they move on to the Prevailing Wage Compliance Unit and then the Accounting Division. There is a continuing need to expedite the development of the Proposition HHH-funded projects that are currently or wi11 be under construction and ensure that funds are utilized efficiently and effectively. Proposition HHH Permanent Supportive Housing Loan Program generates program income, including, but not limited to, loan repayments, interest earned, and other revenues derived from the use of bond proceeds. It is crucial to align the appropriation of Proposition HHH program income with the goals of ED 1 to maximize the production of pennanent supportive housing. The City can generate approximately $297,010 in cost savings to the General Fund by utilizing Proposition HHH program income to retroactively fund two filled positions in the Technical Services Support Division, one Management Assistant and one Management Analyst, over FY 2024-25. Of this amount, $177,795 is needed to support direct costs for salaries for the entire year, including payroll corrections. A total of $119,215 would fund related costs reimbursements. I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council, subject to the approval of the Mayor, authorize the Housing Department and the City Controller to: a) Appropriate $177,795 from the cash balance of the Proposition HHH Permanent Supportive Housing Loan Program Revenue Fund No. 66H to a new appropriation account 43A143 - Housing Department within the Fund. b) Appropriate $119,215 from the cash balance of the Proposition HHH Permanent Supportive Housing Loan Program Revenue Fund No. 66H to a new appropriation account 43A299 - Reimbursement of General Fund Costs within the Fund. c) Increase appropriations in the amount of $177,795 within the Housing Department Fund No. 100/43, Account No. 001010, Salaries, General. I FURTHER MOVE that Council authorize the Housing Department, with the assistance of the City Administrative Officer, to make any corrections, clarifications, or revisions, including any corrections and ch to fund or account numbers to effectuate the intent of this Motion. PRESENTED BY·  MOTION The Palisades Fire caused immense destruction and resulted in an unprecedented amount of fire-related debris and other dangerous conditions in the impacted area that must be abated as part of the ongoing recovery and rebuilding efforts. As of April 29, 2025, more than 99% of eligible properties in the City of Los Angeles' portion of the Palisades fire area have responded to the Debris Removal Right of Entry process. Over 1,100 properties have been cleared of fire debris by the Army Corps or private contractors while over 2,700 properties are either in the queue with the Army Corps or have been issued a Fire Debris Removal permit and are approved to move forward with private debris removal. In spite of this progress, there still remains a universe of property owners who have neither opted in nor out of the Army Corps fire debris removal process as of the April 15, 2025 deadline. These property owners have been subject to extensive outreach and communications by the City and County. While the City will continue to prioritize education and public awareness, it must prepare to use its abatement powers to remove hazardous fire-related debris if property owners fail to do so themselves, or allow the federal government to do so. The Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety has the authority to abate conditions on private properties related to a declared local emergency, including the removal of debris created by fire damage pursuant to Section 91.8907 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code. Currently, abatement may be performed by any City department or contractor with the forces to perform the work. This section of the Municipal Code, however, does not authorize other government agencies to perform abatement work. Although the United States Army Corps of Engineers is willing to remove fire debris from properties subject to the . processes outlined in Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 91.8907, the section must be amended to permit them to do so. Similar to debris removal under the Right of Entry process, the insurers of properties subject to debris removal under this amended provision could be contacted for reimbursement of costs up to the limits of any coverage that is specifically applicable to debris removal. I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council instruct the Department of Building and Safety, with the assistance of the City Attorney, to prepare and present an ordinance within 15 days with an Urgency Clause to amend Municipal Code Section 91.8907, Division 89, Article 1, Chapter IX to permit other government agencies and departments to perform abatement under this section at the request of the Department of Building and Safety, and to include, as needed, language related to allowing these agencies and departments to contact insurers for recovery of Q eligible costs.
