ATTEST: Patrice Y. Lattimore, CITY CLERK By Council Clerk PRESIDENT OF THE CITY COUNCIL Friday - February 27, 2026 - PAGE 17 COMMENDATORY RESOLUTIONS MOVED BY SECONDED BY NAME McOSKER – HUTT PADILLA ADWA DAY BLUMENFIELD HUTT GEOVANNY RAGSDALE PUBUCWORKS MOTION For many years, the pedestrian tunnel located at the intersection of Soto Street and 7th Street in Boyle Heights beside Soto Street Elementary School has threatened community safety. Hazards resulting from trash and debris flows after adverse weather conditions as well as harmful activities inside the tunnel deter pedestrians, including students using the passageway in their daily commute to school. As previous efforts to adequately close the tunnel have been unsuccessful, there is an urgent need for the City to develop a permanent solution to close the tunnel. This endeavor will advance safer, more accessible streets for our students, educators, workers, families, and surrounding community. I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the Bureau of Engineering, in collaboration with Bureau of Street Services and other relevant City departments, to report on recommendations to permanently close the pedestrian tunnel at the intersection of Soto Street and 7th Street, beside Soto Street Elementary School. The report should include all feasible closure options and their estimated costs. PRESENTED BY �� Y�Jl.JRAOO Councilmember, 14th District MOTION HOUSING & HOMELESSNESS Access Centers are a critical lifeline in Los Angeles's homelessness response system, serving as a primary point of entry to housing, healthcare, employment support, and essential public services. Through the Coordinated Entry System, Access Centers provide initial screenings, emergen� y referrals case '. management, mail services, and connections to public benefit programs. These services are dehver�d citywide and are often accessed repeatedly, with many individuals rely ing ?n Access Centers for daily _ _ basic needs such as hygiene, nutrition, medical care, safety and communication. The City of Los Angeles currently provides these services through 8 Access Centers: Downtown Women's Center (CD14), Harbor Interfaith (CD15), Hope The Mission (CO2), HOPI CS (CD9), Midnight Mission (CD14), St. Joseph Center (CD11), Weingart (CD14), and WLCAC (CD15). Access Centers stabilize individuals and communities, reducing reliance on emergency rooms and other high-cost public systems while strengthening public health and safety across neighborhoods. As Los Angeles responds to federal immigration activity and prepares for global events such as the World Cup and the 2028 Olympic Games, Access Centers play an essential role in absorbing system shocks and maintaining continuity of care. Access Centers are currently set to lose funding, threatening the continuity of leveraged resources and services unlocked by base funding previously provided by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) as a pass-through funder. Previous data presented focused on HMIS enrollments, which does not capture repeated service engagements between an individual and an Access Center nor the number or type of essential services provided. I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council instruct the Chief Legislative Analyst, in coordination with Los Angeles Housing Department, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, the City Administrative Officer, the Downtown Women's Center, HOPICS, and Council District staff, to report within 30 days on all eight City of Los Angeles Access Center activity and engagement. The report should include data using a combination of both HMIS and databases/resources outside of HMIS, understanding that not all services provided will be captured within the HMIS System. The report should include, but is not limited to, the following information: • Qualitative Data on services provided or co-located at the Access Centers that are funded by the City of Los Angeles (Operation Safe Streets, etc.) or a public funding source • Number of Access Centers that have closed and/or are at risk of closure • Number of unduplicated people served (instead of HMIS enrollments) • Number of unduplicated people receiving mail services through Access Center • Number of meals, showers, medical services, referrals to housing, and total services provided by each Access Center, as well as total services including duplicated use of services provided by each access center • Number of Staff funded through Access Center contract, as well as staff employed through leveraged funding • Ac ess Center contract funding received from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority � • Estimated Cost to Run Access Center, inclusive of all services (Access Center contract plus leveraged funding including in-kind donations) • Unduplicated People Served by Access Centers (not HMIS Enrollments) as % of 2025 CoC Homeless Count (Total Sheltered and Unsheltered Individuals) 1J.1 A �nduplicated People Served by Access Centers (not HMIS Enrollments) as % of 2025 CoC (AV\} �less Count (Total Individuals-Unsheltered Only) fE8 2? 2026

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.

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. Friday - February 27, 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.

Total fiscal year expenses are projected at $79,565, which is $26,363 more than the budgeted amount resulting in a negative impact to the General Fund. The GSD Friday - February 27, 2026 - PAGE 8 will include this amount in the next quarterly status report of the Leasing Account as there may be other savings which can offset this deficit.
