1. ACKNOWLEDGE that the vacation of the areas shown colored
orange on Exhibit B of the Bureau of Engineering (BOE) report
dated December 22, 2025, attached to the Council file, are no
longer part of the request. These areas were withdrawn from
the request by the applicant in their letter dated August 21, 2025
(Transmittal No. 7 of said BOE report).
2. REVIEW and CONSIDER the Los Angeles International Airport
(LAX) Airfield and Terminal Modernization Project (ATMP) EIR

Addendum to the ATMP EIR, dated December 2024 (State
Clearinghouse No. 2019049020) (Transmittal No. 2 of said BOE
report), which was prepared by Los Angeles World Airports
(LAWA) in compliance with the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA).
3. FIND under CEQA Guidelines Section No. 15091, that changes
or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the
Project that mitigate or avoid significant effects on the
environment as identified in the Final EIR and the ATMP MMRP

documents LAWA’s certification of the ATMP EIR and adoption
of the ATMP MMRP is attached and incorporated herein.
4. CONCUR with the Board of Airport Commissioners’ findings that
the unavoidable significant adverse impacts associated with the
proposed Project are acceptable in light of the economic, legal,
social, technological, and other benefits the proposed Project
will bring to the surrounding community and LAWA. These
specific overriding considerations are described in the

circumstances of the Project have been changed to require
additional environmental review, under the California Public
Resources Code, Section No. 21166, and State CEQA

environmental documents adequately describe the potential
impacts for this street vacation.
6. FIND that street vacation proceedings pursuant to the Public
Streets, Highways and Service Easements Vacation Law be
instituted for the vacation of the public right-of-way indicated in

of the street, the City is relieved of its ongoing obligation to

potential liability that might result from continued ownership of
the involved street easements.
8. FIND that, in conformance with Section 556 of the City Charter,
the vacation is in substantial conformance with the purposes,
intent and provisions of the General Plan.
9. FIND that, in conformance with Section 892 of the California
Streets and Highways Code, the vacation area is not necessary
for non-motorized transportation facilities.
10. FIND that, in conformance with Section 8324 of the California
Streets and Highways Code, the vacation area is not necessary

MOTION BUDGET & FINANCE
Keep Hollywood Home - Local Vendor, Post-Production, and Film Ecosystem Incentive Program
Los Angeles is the historic home of the global entertainment industry, and film, television, commercial,
and post-production activity sustain thousands of union jobs and a wide network of local
businesses-including hotels, private properties, sound mixing stages, VFX and animation vendors,
equipment houses, fabrication shops, caterers, transportation companies, and brick-and-mortar businesses
that regularly support productions.
Following prolonged work stoppages, many of these businesses continue to face reduced bookings,
workforce instability, and rising operational costs. Meanwhile, competing jurisdictions have adopted
aggressive incentive frameworks to attract not the productions themselves, but the local vendors and
service companies that form the backbone of the entertainment economy.
Los Angeles must take steps to retain this ecosystem and stabilize the pipeline of work for below-the-line
employees and local small businesses. To keep production activity anchored in Los Angeles, the City
should provide narrowly tailored assistance to City-based vendors and facilities that host, support, or
service production and post-production activity-not by reducing taxes for studios or major producers,
but by strengthening the local businesses that depend on filming to survive.
I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the Office of Finance, the City Administrative
Officer (CAO), and the Economic and Workforce Development Department (EWDD), with assistance
from FilmLA and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), to report back within 45
days with a framework for a Local Vendor, Post-Production, and Film Ecosystem Incentive Program,
including:
"Keep Hollywood Home" DWP Utility Credit
To address the significant operational overhead of the local film ecosystem, the report shall assess the
feasibility of establishing a Keep Hollywood Home DWP Credit, providing:
• A broad-based, monthly utility bill credit for City-based vendors, facilities, and service providers
that support or service film, television, commercial, or post-production activity.
• This credit shall be designed as a general operational discount for eligible businesses-including
equipment rental houses, fabrication shops, and post-production facilities-to offset high energy
costs without requiring participation in prescriptive, project-by-project rebate programs.
• Higher-tier credits for energy-intensive "Certified LA Stages" and post-production hubs (VFX,
sound, and animation) to ensure Los Angeles remains cost-competitive for the entire production
lifecycle.
Vendor Hosting & Activity-Based Incentives
A tiered incentive or rebate structure for City-based businesses that demonstrate a minimum annual
volume of qualifying film-related activity, including but not limited to:
~ Hotels hosting cast and crew;
r~
1
• Private properties used as recurring filming locations;
FEB l l Ol; ost-production facilities including editorial, sound mixing, finishing, VFX, and animation;
7
• Equipment rental houses, grip/lighting vendors, and fabrication shops;
• Restaurants, caterers, and small businesses providing production-related services.
Eligible businesses may receive modest rebates, credits, or temporary tax reductions tied to verified
production activity conducted within the City.
Verification and Oversight
• Verification Framework: A robust verification process using FilmLA permit data, invoices,
receipts, and business tax certificate filings to ensure incentives are limited to businesses with
verified in-City activity.
• Accountability: Annual reporting to the Council on total in-city spend, jobs created or retained,
and vendor participation.
• Guardrails: Explicit prohibitions against awarding incentives to companies involved in price
gouging or predatory behavior
I FURTHER MOVE that the CAO, Office of Finance, EWDD, and LAD WP report back within 45 days
with recommended eligibility criteria, verification standards, fiscal impacts, and an implementation
timeline, including options that prioritize City-based small businesses and below-the-line ecosystem
stability without reducing or modifying the City's gross receipts tax structure.
I FURTHER MOVE that any production entity receiving a City benefit under the Keep Hollywood
Home package shall, as a condition of eligibility, participate in an employer-sponsored health insurance
plan meeting Motion Picture and Television industry portability standards.

MOTION
The City utilizes contracts with various vendors and companies to secure the materials,
equipment, supplies, and services essential for daily operations. The purpose of initiating these
contracts is to provide cost-efficient and dependable materials and services to the City.
It is important that the City exercise due diligence in selecting its contracting partners. In
recent years, the City has been involved in numerous lawsuits, many of which have proven costly
and have had a negative impact on the City's budget and fiscal standing. As the City continues to
initiate new contracts, it should be fully informed of any existing legal disputes between the City
and prospective contractors.
Awarding a City contract without knowledge of ongoing litigation between the City and a
prospective vendor may create conflicts of interest, expose the City to ·increased liability, or
otherwise compromise the City's legal and financial interests. To ensure transparency and enable
informed decision-making, a formal disclosure requirement should be incorporated into the City's
contracting process.
I THEREFORE MOVE that Council request the City Attorney to draft an ordinance
requiring companies that are competing in a City Request for Proposals process or otherwise
entering into a contract with the City to disclose if they are a plaintiff in litigation with the City.

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.
Tuesday - February 17, 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.

Street and 96th Street, and a portion of the easterly side of Sepulveda
Boulevard from approximately 150 feet southerly of 96th Street to
approximately 575 feet northerly thereof, VAC- E1401456, (Project).
Recommendations for Council action:
1. ACKNOWLEDGE that the vacation of the areas shown colored
orange on Exhibit B of the Bureau of Engineering (BOE) report
dated December 22, 2025, attached to the Council file, are no
longer part of the request. These areas were withdrawn from
Tuesday - February 17, 2026 - PAGE 5
the request by the applicant in their letter dated August 21, 2025
(Transmittal No. 7 of said BOE report).
2. REVIEW and CONSIDER the Los Angeles International Airport
(LAX) Airfield and Terminal Modernization Project (ATMP) EIR
(consisting of the Draft and Final EIR), dated October 2020 and
August 2021 (Transmittal No. 1 of said BOE report), and
Addendum to the ATMP EIR, dated December 2024 (State
Clearinghouse No. 2019049020) (Transmittal No. 2 of said BOE
report), which was prepared by Los Angeles World Airports
(LAWA) in compliance with the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA).
3. FIND under CEQA Guidelines Section No. 15091, that changes
or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the
Project that mitigate or avoid significant effects on the
environment as identified in the Final EIR and the ATMP MMRP
(Transmittal No. 3 of said BOE report), dated August 2021, and
as set forth in the CEQA Review Memo, dated September 25,
2025 (Transmittal No. 4 of said BOE report). A Copy of Notice of
Determination (Transmittal No. 5 of said BOE report) which
documents LAWA’s certification of the ATMP EIR and adoption
of the ATMP MMRP is attached and incorporated herein.
4. CONCUR with the Board of Airport Commissioners’ findings that
the unavoidable significant adverse impacts associated with the
proposed Project are acceptable in light of the economic, legal,
social, technological, and other benefits the proposed Project
will bring to the surrounding community and LAWA. These
specific overriding considerations are described in the
Statement of Overriding Considerations for the LAX ATMP,
dated September 2021 (Transmittal No. 6 of said BOE report),
and is attached and incorporated herein.
5. FIND that no new information exists to show that the Project or
circumstances of the Project have been changed to require
additional environmental review, under the California Public
Resources Code, Section No. 21166, and State CEQA
Guidelines Section No. 15162, and therefore the existing
environmental documents adequately describe the potential
impacts for this street vacation.
Tuesday - February 17, 2026 - PAGE 6
6. FIND that street vacation proceedings pursuant to the Public
Streets, Highways and Service Easements Vacation Law be
instituted for the vacation of the public right-of-way indicated in
said BOE report and shown colored blue on the attached
Exhibit B of said BOE report:
96th Street between Sepulveda Boulevard and Jetway
Boulevard, Vicksburg Avenue between 98th Street and 96th
Street, and a portion of the easterly side of Sepulveda
Boulevard from approximately 150-feet southerly of 96th Street
to approximately 575-feet northerly thereof
7. FIND that there is a public benefit to this Project. Upon vacation
of the street, the City is relieved of its ongoing obligation to
maintain the street. In addition, the City is relieved of any
potential liability that might result from continued ownership of
the involved street easements.
8. FIND that, in conformance with Section 556 of the City Charter,
the vacation is in substantial conformance with the purposes,
intent and provisions of the General Plan.
9. FIND that, in conformance with Section 892 of the California
Streets and Highways Code, the vacation area is not necessary
for non-motorized transportation facilities.
10. FIND that, in conformance with Section 8324 of the California
Streets and Highways Code, the vacation area is not necessary
for present or prospective public use.
11. ADOPT said BOE report with the conditions contained therein.
12. AUTHORIZE the BOE to issue a revocable permit to the
petitioner of this vacation request, or its representative, subject
to satisfaction of the conditions for issuing such permit, to close,
fence, occupy, demolish, excavate, grade, and construct in the
public right-of-way of 96th Street between Sepulveda Boulevard
and Jetway Boulevard, Vicksburg Avenue between 98th Street
and 96th Street, and a Portion of the Easterly side of Sepulveda
Boulevard from approximately 150-feet southerly of 96th Street
Tuesday - February 17, 2026 - PAGE 7
to approximately 575-feet northerly thereof within the
conditionally approved vacation area, prior to finalizing and
recording the street vacation of a portion of this street.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Engineer reports that the petitioner
has paid a fee of $47,080 for the investigation of this request pursuant
to Section 7.42 of the Los Angeles Administrative Code (LAAC). Any
