of $69,840 is included in the City Attorney’s 2024-25 and 2025-26
Adopted Budgets. There is no matching funds requirement. There is
no General Fund impact and the recommendations in this report are
in compliance with the City's Financial Policies in that budgeted
appropriations will be balanced against grant award receipts.
The City’s Financial Policies require that the City pursue Federal,
State, and private grants, but strictly limit the financial support of
these programs to avoid commitments that continue beyond available
funding. The recommendations in this report are in compliance with
the City’s Financial Policies in that proposed funding is balanced
against grant revenue approved by Council actions and from Federal
and State grant receipts. All funding is subject to the availability of
grant funds and determinations by Mayor and Council. Accepting the
grant and approving the recommendations in this report are in
compliance with the City’s Financial Policies as the grant funds are
fully reimbursing the General Fund for grant eligible activities.

Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the recommendations
stated in the August 4, 2025 CAO report, attached to the Council fIle,
include transfers, appropriations, and authority for expenditures
totaling $14.09 million. This consists of $5.63 million from various
special funds, $6.83 million in MICLA funds, and $1.63 million in
CTIEP funds. All transfers and appropriations are based on existing
funds, reimbursements, or revenues. There is no additional General
Fund impact for operations and maintenance costs as a result of
these recommendations.
Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the
recommendations stated in the August 4, 2025 CAO report, attached
to the Council file, comply with the City’s Financial Policies in that
appropriations for funds are limited to available cash balances needed
to fund ongoing maintenance, programming, project shortfalls, and
critical operational needs in the current budget year.
Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of MICLA
debt is a General Fund obligation. The reauthorization of various
projects (Items Z, DD, GG, JJ and PP detailed in the August 4, 2025
CAO report) would cause the City to borrow $10.7 million at an
approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over a period of 20 years. The
total estimated debt service for these projects is $18.0 million,
including interest of approximately $7.2 million. During the life of the
bonds, the estimated average annual debt service is $0.9 million over
a period of 20 years. The reauthorization of Los Angeles Convention
Center (LACC) MICLA projects (Item U) would cause the City to
borrow $24.1 million at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over
a period of 10 years. The total estimated debt service for these
projects is $40.2 million, including interest of approximately $16.2
million. During the life of the bonds, the estimated average annual
debt service is $2.0 million over a period of 10 years. Actual interest
rates may differ as rates are dependent on market conditions at the
Tuesday - September 9, 2025 - PAGE 12
time of issuance. The CAO stated that it cannot fully predict what
interest rates will be in the future. In accordance with the City's Debt
Management Policy, the City has an established debt ceiling to guide
the evaluation of the affordability for future debt. The debt ceiling for
non-voted direct debt as a percentage of General Fund revenues is
six percent. The 2025-26 Adopted Budget non-voter-approved debt
service ratio is 2.40 percent. The issuance of MICLA debt for these
projects will not cause the City to exceed the six percent non-voter-
approved debt limit.

Council within 60 days on providing a clear ministerial
entitlement process for the following types of eligible mixed
income and 100 percent affordable housing and mixed-use
projects that are currently subject to discretionary review

percentage of affordable housing to qualify for: (i) enhanced
development rights under the Citywide Housing Incentive
Program (CHIP); and, (ii) an exemption to the Project Review
Ordinance:
a. Projects located in overlay zones (e.g., Community

Overlays) and Specific Plan areas.
b. Projects that require CHIP or State Density Bonus Law
waivers of development standards, in addition to on or off-
menu incentives/concessions.
c. Ministerial projects otherwise made subject to
discretionary review due to non-planning related
approvals in urbanized areas, including but not limited to:
(i) haul routes for projects located in Bureau of
Engineering Special Grading Areas that require the

(ii) street tree removal permit approvals required by the
Board of Public Works.

departments, to report to Council with a detailed plan and
specific recommendations regarding implementation of very
recent amendments to the State Permit Streamlining Act as part
of the 2025-2026 State Housing Budget Trailer Bills (Assembly

CD 2 CONSIDERATION OF MOTION (NAZARIAN - RODRIGUEZ) relative
to an Interim Control Ordinance (ICO) for properties regulated by the
Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO) in the Valley Glen community.
Recommendations for Council action:
1. INSTRUCT the Department of City Planning (DCP), in
consultation with the City Attorney, to prepare and present an
ICO to prohibit the issuance of any demolition, building, grading
or other applicable permits for properties regulated by the RSO
in the area of the Valley Glen community, bounded by Hazeltine
Avenue on the east; the properties facing the north and south
sides of Oxnard Street until Woodman Avenue; the properties
facing the east and west sides of Woodman Avenue from
Oxnard Street to Hatteras Street; and Buffalo Avenue between
Hatteras Street and Oxnard Street, as further specified in
the map attached to the Motion, pending the study and adoption
of additional protections for tenants in RSO units proposed for
demolition.
2. DIRECT the DCP to include an Urgency Clause, making it
effective upon publication, and consistent with California
Government Code Section 65858, the ICO shall be effective for
a period of 45 days, with the option to extend the ICO for an
additional year, or until the adoption of the appropriate land use
regulatory controls have been prepared by the necessary
departments, adopted by the Council and become effective,
whichever occurs first.

CONSIDERATION OF MOTION (NAZARIAN – LEE) relative to drafting
an ordinance to amend the Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO) and
other relevant City codes related to demolition.
Tuesday - September 9, 2025 - PAGE 36
Recommendations for Council action:
1. DIRECT the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD), with the
assistance of the City Attorney and the Department of Building
and Safety (DBS), to report and prepare a draft ordinance to
amend the RSO, and other relevant City codes, to implement
the intent of the Motion as follows:
a. Require that a demolition permit be approved and issued
by the DBS prior to the service or filing of any eviction
notice related to demolition under the RSO and/or Ellis
Act. (However, LAHD would not clear the demolition
permit until it has verified the subject property is vacant.).
b. Amend the applicable City codes to extend the period
allowed to complete demolition after the issuance of a
demolition permit from two (2) years to two and a half (2.5)
years (i.e. - 30 months), while maintaining the existing one
(1) year limit to commence work.
c. Ensure enforcement mechanisms are incorporated so that
failure to initiate or complete demolition within the
amended timeline subjects the landlord or developer to
penalties, including, but not limited to, tenant re-
occupancy rights and financial restitution.
2. INSTRUCT the DBS, the LAHD, and the Department of City
Planning, the Bureau of Street Services, Bureau of Engineering,
Bureau of Sanitation, and the Los Angeles Fire Department to
report on timelines for clearances of demolition permits, as well
as the issuance of the permit.

Written public comment may be submitted at LACouncilComment.com.
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) 978-1133. 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 peer-to-peer and third-party 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 TIY-Based TRS; Speech-to-Speech Relay Service; Shared Non-
English 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/telecommunications-
relay-service-trs.
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, hard-of-hearing, or has a speech disability.
For more information about FCC programs to promote access to telecommunications services for people with
disabilities, visit the FCC's Disability Rights Office website.
Spanish language interpretation is available at all Council and Committee meetings. Interpretation services in
additional languages are available upon request, at no cost. Please submit your request to
clerk.interpretation@lacity.org or call (213) 978-1133 to allow time for scheduling. It is strongly encouraged that a
request for interpretive services is made at least 48 hours prior to the meeting. Interpretation requests are not
guarantee and are dependent on availability. You will receive a confirmation reply if an interpreter is available.

BASIC CITY COUNCIL MEETING RULES
AGENDAS - The City Council meets Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at 10:00 A.M. The agendas for City Council
meetings contain a brief general description of those items to be considered at the meetings. Council Agendas are
available in the Office of the City Clerk, Council and Public Services Division, Room 395, City Hall, 200 North Spring
Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012, and on the City's website at lacity.gov or lacouncilcalendar.com.
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 two-thirds (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.
The Council will also provide an opportunity for the public to speak on public interest items. Each speaker shall be
limited to 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.
If you wish to provide documents to the full Council for consideration on an item, please present the Sergeant-At-Arms
with 35 copies. Otherwise, your materials will simply be added to the official record.
NOTICE TO PAID REPRESENTATIVES - If you are compensated to monitor, attend, or speak at this meeting, City
law may require you to register as a lobbyist and report your activity. See Los Angeles Municipal Code 48.01 et seq.
More information is available at ethics.lacity.org/lobbying. For assistance, please contact the Ethics Commission at
(213) 978-1960 or ethics.commission@lacity.org.
COUNCIL DISCUSSION AND TIME LIMITS - Councilmembers requesting to address the Council will be recognized
by the Council President in the order requested. For any item, the Chairperson of the Committee, or the maker of the
original motion, or the member calling a matter "special" shall have up to six (6) minutes to discuss the item. All other
Councilmembers may speak up to three (3) minutes each on the matter. After all members desiring to speak on a
question have had an opportunity to be heard once, the time for each Member desiring to speak again shall be limited
to a maximum of three (3) minutes.
A motion calling the "previous question" may be introduced by any member during a Council debate. If adopted, this
motion will terminate debate on a matter and the Chair will instruct the Clerk to call the roll on the matter.
Tuesday - September 9, 2025 - PAGE 3
VOTING AND DISPOSITION OF ITEMS - Most items require a majority vote of the entire membership of the Council
(8 members). Items which have not been discussed in a Council Committee and have been placed directly on the
agenda will require 10 votes to consider. Once considered, these items will normally require eight (8) affirmative votes
to be adopted. Ordinances require a unanimous vote (at least 12 members must be present) in order to be adopted on
first consideration. If an ordinance does not receive the necessary unanimous vote, it is laid over one calendar week.
The votes required for approval on second consideration vary and depend upon the type of ordinance, but a typical
ordinance requires eight (8) affirmative votes upon second consideration.
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 motion to send an item "forthwith" if adopted by ten (10) votes, suspends these rules and requires
the City Clerk to forward the matter to the Mayor, or other officer, without delay.
RULE 16 MOTIONS - Council Rule No. 16, in part, allows a member to send an item directly to the Council without it
having to go to a Council Committee first, by giving the City Clerk a motion (seconded by an additional member)
during a Council session to be placed on the next regular available Council agenda.

Adopted Budgets. There is no matching funds requirement. There is
no General Fund impact and the recommendations in this report are
in compliance with the City's Financial Policies in that budgeted
appropriations will be balanced against grant award receipts.
The City’s Financial Policies require that the City pursue Federal,

the City’s Financial Policies in that proposed funding is balanced
against grant revenue approved by Council actions and from Federal
and State grant receipts. All funding is subject to the availability of
grant funds and determinations by Mayor and Council. Accepting the

implement the intent of those transactions.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the recommendations
stated in the August 4, 2025 CAO report, attached to the Council fIle,
include transfers, appropriations, and authority for expenditures
totaling $14.09 million. This consists of $5.63 million from various
special funds, $6.83 million in MICLA funds, and $1.63 million in
CTIEP funds. All transfers and appropriations are based on existing
funds, reimbursements, or revenues. There is no additional General
Fund impact for operations and maintenance costs as a result of
these recommendations.
Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the
recommendations stated in the August 4, 2025 CAO report, attached
to the Council file, comply with the City’s Financial Policies in that
Tuesday - September 9, 2025 - PAGE 15
appropriations for funds are limited to available cash balances needed
to fund ongoing maintenance, programming, project shortfalls, and
critical operational needs in the current budget year.
Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of MICLA
debt is a General Fund obligation. The reauthorization of various
projects (Items Z, DD, GG, JJ and PP detailed in the August 4, 2025
CAO report) would cause the City to borrow $10.7 million at an
approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over a period of 20 years. The
total estimated debt service for these projects is $18.0 million,
including interest of approximately $7.2 million. During the life of the
bonds, the estimated average annual debt service is $0.9 million over
a period of 20 years. The reauthorization of Los Angeles Convention
Center (LACC) MICLA projects (Item U) would cause the City to
borrow $24.1 million at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over
a period of 10 years. The total estimated debt service for these
projects is $40.2 million, including interest of approximately $16.2
million. During the life of the bonds, the estimated average annual
debt service is $2.0 million over a period of 10 years. Actual interest
rates may differ as rates are dependent on market conditions at the
time of issuance. The CAO stated that it cannot fully predict what
interest rates will be in the future. In accordance with the City's Debt
Management Policy, the City has an established debt ceiling to guide
the evaluation of the affordability for future debt. The debt ceiling for
non-voted direct debt as a percentage of General Fund revenues is
six percent. The 2025-26 Adopted Budget non-voter-approved debt
service ratio is 2.40 percent. The issuance of MICLA debt for these
projects will not cause the City to exceed the six percent non-voter-
approved debt limit.

notice related to demolition under the RSO and/or Ellis

permit until it has verified the subject property is vacant.).

occupancy rights and financial restitution.

Planning, the Bureau of Street Services, Bureau of Engineering,
