CD 7 GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS COMMITTEE REPORT relative to an
amendment to the Master License Agreement with Kounkuey Design
Initiative (KDI) for the Adopt-A-Lot (AAL) Pilot Program.
Recommendations for Council action, as initated by Motion
(Rodriguez – Padilla):
Wednesday - October 1, 2025 - PAGE 1
1. INSTRUCT the General Services Department (GSD), with the
assistance of the City Administrative Officer (CAO) and in
consultation with the City Attorney, to extend the Master License
Agreement (Contract No. C-13437) between the City and
KDI by two years, to continue implementation of the
AAL Program.
2. INSTRUCT the GSD, in consultation with KDI, to provide a
program summary report on the program pursuant to Council
file No. 18-0630-S1.
3. FIND, pursuant to Los Angeles City Charter Section 371(e)(10)
and Los Angeles Administrative Code Section 10.15(a)(10), that
the use of competitive bidding for the proposed license
agreement with KDI would be undesirable and impractical:
a. KDI will continue to implement the AAL Program which
transforms vacant, City-owned lots into neighborhood
resources that support community health and
development.
b. The AAL Program revitalizes communities by replacing
blighted spaces that attract crime and nuisance with
vibrant, open areas that serve the public; many of the
City's vacant lots are in park-deficient neighborhoods, and
this program directly addresses that disparity by creating
new, accessible public spaces for residents.
c. Given KDI's background and work experience, it is the
most qualified and capable entity to operate these
facilities.
4. REMOVE the AAL Program site located at 15240 West Tupper
Street, North Hills, from the Master License Agreement,
inasmuch as there has been a long-term lessor identified for the
site to become an educational garden.

dated July 14, 2025, attached to Council file No. 23-1354,
inasmuch as the report is for informational purposes.
2. INSTRUCT the CAO, with assistance from the Personnel
Department and Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), to
report to Council on the identification and pursuit of grants, such
as those from the California Governor’s Office of Emergency
Services and the United States Department of Justice as
proposed on page 3 of said CAO report, that can be used for
the hiring and recruitment of multilingual PSRs, especially to
meet the needs of the top five languages that require
emergency services.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that approval of the
recommendation in said report will have no impact on the General
Fund, as the report is provided for informational purposes only. The
projected cost to hire a recruitment coordinator or develop a
recruitment unit solely dedicated to PSR recruitment would require
funding of approximately $200,000 annually, consisting of up to
$160,000 in direct salary costs, and $40,000 in outreach and
operational costs, in addition to the continuance of applicable
contractual services costs. Should consideration be given to adding
resources to this effort, offsetting revenues, reductions to
appropriations, or other funding sources would need to be identified.
Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the
recommendation provided in said report complies with the City’s
Financial Policies in that, to the extent possible, one-time funding
would be utilized for one-time program expenditures.

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.

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.
Wednesday - October 1, 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.

Wednesday - October 1, 2025 - PAGE 5
Recommendations for Council action, as initated by Motion
(Rodriguez – Padilla):
1. INSTRUCT the General Services Department (GSD), with the
assistance of the City Administrative Officer (CAO) and in
consultation with the City Attorney, to extend the Master License
Agreement (Contract No. C-13437) between the City and
KDI by two years, to continue implementation of the
AAL Program.
2. INSTRUCT the GSD, in consultation with KDI, to provide a
program summary report on the program pursuant to Council
file No. 18-0630-S1.
3. FIND, pursuant to Los Angeles City Charter Section 371(e)(10)
and Los Angeles Administrative Code Section 10.15(a)(10), that
the use of competitive bidding for the proposed license
agreement with KDI would be undesirable and impractical:
a. KDI will continue to implement the AAL Program which
transforms vacant, City-owned lots into neighborhood
resources that support community health and
development.
b. The AAL Program revitalizes communities by replacing
blighted spaces that attract crime and nuisance with
vibrant, open areas that serve the public; many of the
City's vacant lots are in park-deficient neighborhoods, and
this program directly addresses that disparity by creating
new, accessible public spaces for residents.
c. Given KDI's background and work experience, it is the
most qualified and capable entity to operate these
facilities.
4. REMOVE the AAL Program site located at 15240 West Tupper
Street, North Hills, from the Master License Agreement,
inasmuch as there has been a long-term lessor identified for the
site to become an educational garden.
