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. Tuesday - February 3, 2026 - PAGE 2  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 - February 3, 2026 - 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.

(30) 25-0006-S57 BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the waiver of plan check and permit fees associated with the reconstruction of private property damaged or destroyed in the January 2025 Wildfires. Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR: 1. NOTE AND FILE the following reports and Amending Motions, attached to the Council file: a. City Administrative Officer (CAO) report dated May 7, 2025 b. CAO report dated October 2, 2025 c. City Attorney report and draft Ordinance dated June 20, 2025 d. Amending Motion 23C (Rodriguez – Yaroslavsky) dated December 2, 2025 e. Amending Motion 23D (Park – Nazarian) dated December 2, 2025. 2. APPROVE Option 3 (A, B, and C) as detailed in the CAO report dated January 16, 2026, attached to the Council file, for the waiver of fees for all structures, regardless of rebuild/repair Tuesday - February 3, 2026 - PAGE 29  scale, only up to the amount attributed to 110 percent of the original footprint, with an aggregate cap of $90 million, for three years. Property owners would be liable for fees in excess of 110 percent rebuild/repair scale. 3. FIND that the waiving of plan check and permit fees for rebuilding properties that were damaged or destroyed as a result of the January 2025 Wildfires represents a clear public benefit inasmuch as the waivers would remove barriers to reconstruction and benefit the economy of the City of Los Angeles. 4. REQUEST the City Attorney to prepare and present a new Ordinance consistent with its recommendations and including all previous provisions around eligibility subject to ownership at the time of the January 2025 Wildfires, including relative positions from previous draft Ordinances that align with this report, with a timeline for eligibility retroactive to the date of the fire and not longer than three years from the date that the Council acts. 5. REQUEST the Controller to establish a new account, Wildfire Emergency Permit Fee Subsidies, in the General City Purposes (GCP); and, appropriate $10 million from a temporary revolving loan from the Building and Safety Building Permit Enterprise Fund (Enterprise Fund) to be repaid with interest. 6. INSTRUCT the Department of Building and Safety and other relevant City departments to establish fee subsidy procedures, including the process for obtaining reimbursements of subsidized fees from the GCP to ensure full cost recovery for the Enterprise Fund. 7. INSTRUCT the CAO to: ​ a. Identify unrestricted funds to repay the Enterprise Fund, for any and all fees waived in connection with the January 2025 Wildfires, with interest calculated at the City Daily Interest Pool Rate. Tuesday - February 3, 2026 - PAGE 30  b. Recommend a funding strategy to the Mayor and Council, for inclusion in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget, that would limit the General Fund obligation to a maximum of $30 million per year over the next three fiscal years. c. Report back to the Budget and Finance Committee, with support from affected City departments, via the Financial Status Report process with updates on the use of this waiver program, including the types of properties for which permits have been issued. Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that should the Council approve the recommendations contained in the CAO report dated January 16, 2026, and waive fees for all structures (single family dwelling, duplexes, accessory dwelling units, multi-family dwellings, and commercial properties), regardless of rebuild/repair scale, up to the amount attributable to 110 percent, the General Fund impact is $98.30 million, not including the costs of borrowing. Should the Council choose to limit the fee waivers to only single-family dwellings and duplexes that are rebuilding only up to 110 percent of the original footprint, the estimated General Fund impact is $80.4 million, not including the costs of borrowing. Should the Council choose to extend the fee waivers to all structures with no limit on the rebuild/repair scale, the General Fund impact could be over $126.43 million, not including the costs of borrowing. Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that in order to comply with the City Financial Policies, the City Council needs to make a finding of public benefit to waive fees for services for individual users. Because the fees to be waived are for services funded through a source of funds generated by the collection of those fees, a General Fund appropriation would be required to prevent other service users from improperly subsidizing such fees.

Request all City departments and agencies who have the authority to investigate and/or enforce any/all forms of price gouging, fraud, and theft by deceit, as described in the California Penal Code, to do so to the fullest extent permissible under federal, state, and local law. 8. Instruct the City Clerk, unless and until Council directs otherwise or discontinues the state of emergency, to timely agendize this matter so that Council may consider whether to continue the state of emergency. 9.
