CIVIL RIGHTS, EQUITY, IMMIGRATION, AGING, AND DISABILITY
REPORT relative to the resources needed, including staffing and other
expenses, to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
regulations and requirements for large scale events, including the 2026
World Cup and the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and whether
these expenses could be reimbursed by the LA2028 Agreement in
response to the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget Recommendation.
Wednesday - March 25, 2026 - PAGE 11
Recommendations for Council action:
1. INSTRUCT the City Administrative Officer (CAO), in
coordination with Department on Disability (DOD), to:
a. Identify $66,107 for one Senior Management Analyst (with
six-month authority) and $140,000 for Contractual
Services.
b. Report on all City costs, including DOD’s accessibility
services, that will be reimbursable by LA28, once the
Enhanced City Resources Master Agreement has been
finalized.
2. DIRECT all City departments with major events-related
responsibilities to report to the Office of Major Events on how
they are accounting for and integrating the costs of Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance into their work; and any
resources, including staff and other expenses, that are needed
to comply with ADA regulations and requirements.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The DOD reports that there will be an initial
General Fund impact to providing these resources in preparation for
upcoming major events, including the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic
Games. DOD is exploring potential funding offsets for Games related
position authorities, but does not anticipate the availability of special
funds for contractual service or other costs. However, it is DOD’s
contention that providing funding for DOD’s major events related work
ultimately will decrease the City’s risk of non-compliance. Doing so
will save hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions of dollars
during the Games and beyond that would otherwise be expended on
litigation costs, including settlements and judgments for
noncompliance.

operate within the boundaries of the City of Los Angeles
that could utilize partnership with a conduit issuer to issue
governmental bonds for the purpose to develop, acquire,
Wednesday - March 25, 2026 - PAGE 33
and operate real property assets; and to impose
covenants or regulatory agreements limiting the
occupancy of housing units in such properties to families
with incomes between 50% and 120% of the area median
income for Los Angeles County, to be leased at affordable
rental rates to such families with rents capped at 4 percent
annually.
2. INSTRUCT the LAHD to address the following when the
Bond Guidelines are amended and to submit the Conduit
Issuer Bond Guidelines to the City Council for approval
before any bond is issued:

d. Construction completion will be protected by
performance bonds, insurance and completion
reserves.
3. DIRECT the LAHD to report back with the value of

Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL
OF THE MAYOR:
1. DETERMINE that the Project is exempt pursuant to Section
15060(c)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines. In accordance with this section, an activity is not
subject to CEQA if it does not meet the definition of a project.
Section 15378(b)(4) states that government fiscal activities
which do not involve any commitment to any specific project
which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on
the environment do not meet the definition. Therefore, the
approval of this draft ordinance to authorize procurement of
power transformers, spare parts, and commissioning services is
not subject to CEQA.
Wednesday - March 25, 2026 - PAGE 36
2. APPROVE the Department of Water and Power (DWP)
proposed Resolution for the Large Power Transformers and
Variable Shunt Reactors for Various Substations Project:
a. Authorizing the DWP to use a competitive sealed bid
proposal method in accordance with Charter Section
371(a) and Los Angeles Administrative Code (LAAC)
Section 10.15(f), permitting negotiations after proposals
are submitted to allow clarifications and changes to the
proposal.
b. Award in whole or in part, one or more contracts at an
estimated cost of $732 million and a term not-to-exceed
nine years, to procure large power transformers and
variable shunt reactors for various substations, including
spare parts and associated manufacturer representative
services.
3. PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying ORDINANCE dated
February 24, 2026, authorizing the Board of Water and Power
Commissioners to award one or more agreements pursuant to a
competitive sealed proposal method and to permit negotiations
relating to the procurement of highly specialized power system
equipment.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Administrative Officer reports that
there is no impact on the General Fund. The proposed Resolution and
Ordinance authorizes the use of the competitive sealed proposal
method under LAAC Section 10.15(f) to procure Large Power
Transformers, Variable Shunt Reactors, spare parts, and associated
manufacturer representative services. The Resolution and Ordinance
covers only administrative costs and excludes any contract
expenditures. The ensuing contract(s) is funded through a power
reliability surcharge passed on to DWP customers for a total
estimated cost of approximately $732 million. The above
recommendations comply with the DWP adopted Financial Policies.

an activity is not subject to CEQA if it does not meet the
definition of a project. Section 15378(b)(5) states that
organizational or administrative activities that will not result in
direct or indirect physical changes in the environment do not
meet that definition. Therefore, amendments to LAAC Section
23.143.1 are not subject to CEQA.
2. APPROVE the Department of Water and Power (DWP)
proposed Resolution authorizing amendment of LAAC Section
23.143.1 to update the regulatory programs referenced and add

EXEMPTION, ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE REPORT
and ORDINANCE FIRST CONSIDERATION relative to the utilization
of an alternative project delivery method on a competitive sealed
proposal basis and approval of project delivery criteria for the Encino
Reservoir Floating Pilot Project (Project).
Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL
OF THE MAYOR:
1. DETERMINE that this Project is exempt pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section
15060(c)(2). In accordance with this section, an activity is not
subject to CEQA if it will not result in a direct or reasonably
foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The
approval of this draft ordinance will authorize the use of the
competitive sealed bid proposal method to let a contract and will
not result in any physical change in the environment; therefore,
the proposed action is not subject to CEQA.
2. APPROVE Board of Water and Power Commissioners (Board)
Resolution for the Project:
a. Authorizing the Department of Water and Power (DWP) to
utilize a competitive sealed bid proposal process in
accordance with Charter Section 371(b), establish
alternative project delivery contract criteria using the
Engineer-Procure-Construct method, and execute a
contract for a term not-to-exceed five years, with two one-
year renewal options for a total of seven years.
b. Award a contract at an estimated cost of $24.175 million
for the complete design, engineering, procurement, and
construction of the Project.

February 4, 2026, authorizing the Board to award an agreement
pursuant to a competitive sealed proposal method, to permit
negotiations relating to the engineering, procurement, and
construction of the Project.

Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Administrative Officer reports that
approval of the proposed Resolution and Ordinance authorizing DWP
to use the competitive sealed proposal method to secure an
Engineer-Procure-Construct contract for the Project will not have a
General Fund impact. The ensuing contract will impact the DWP
Power Revenue Fund and result in total estimated Project
expenditures of $24.175 million. The recommendations above comply
with the DWP adopted Financial Policies.

by the DWP authorizing the use of the competitive sealed bid

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.

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 - March 25, 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.

REPORT and RESOLUTION relative to a boundary expansion for

CIVIL RIGHTS, EQUITY, IMMIGRATION, AGING, AND DISABILITY
REPORT relative to the resources needed, including staffing and other
expenses, to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
Wednesday - March 25, 2026 - PAGE 15
regulations and requirements for large scale events, including the 2026
World Cup and the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and whether
these expenses could be reimbursed by the LA2028 Agreement in
response to the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget Recommendation.
Recommendations for Council action:
1. INSTRUCT the City Administrative Officer (CAO), in
coordination with Department on Disability (DOD), to:
a. Identify $66,107 for one Senior Management Analyst (with
six-month authority) and $140,000 for Contractual
Services.
b. Report on all City costs, including DOD’s accessibility
services, that will be reimbursable by LA28, once the
Enhanced City Resources Master Agreement has been
finalized.
2. DIRECT all City departments with major events-related
responsibilities to report to the Office of Major Events on how
they are accounting for and integrating the costs of Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance into their work; and any
resources, including staff and other expenses, that are needed
to comply with ADA regulations and requirements.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The DOD reports that there will be an initial
General Fund impact to providing these resources in preparation for
upcoming major events, including the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic
Games. DOD is exploring potential funding offsets for Games related
position authorities, but does not anticipate the availability of special
funds for contractual service or other costs. However, it is DOD’s
contention that providing funding for DOD’s major events related work
ultimately will decrease the City’s risk of non-compliance. Doing so
will save hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions of dollars
during the Games and beyond that would otherwise be expended on
litigation costs, including settlements and judgments for
noncompliance.

1. AUTHORIZE the General Manager, LAHD, or designee, to
amend the Affordable Housing Bond Policies and
Procedures approved by City Council in August of 2019 to
allow for the creation of a Middle-Income Pilot Program to
operate within the boundaries of the City of Los Angeles
that could utilize partnership with a conduit issuer to issue
governmental bonds for the purpose to develop, acquire,
and operate real property assets; and to impose
covenants or regulatory agreements limiting the
occupancy of housing units in such properties to families
with incomes between 50% and 120% of the area median
income for Los Angeles County, to be leased at affordable
rental rates to such families with rents capped at 4 percent
annually.
2. INSTRUCT the LAHD to address the following when the
Bond Guidelines are amended and to submit the Conduit
Issuer Bond Guidelines to the City Council for approval
before any bond is issued:
a. To issue, the bond, the City will have no liability
b. That Possessory Interest tax will not ever
become the responsibility of the tenant or the
City but will be the responsibility of the
developer should it be required.
c. That future potential property taxes are offset
by other taxes and tenant savings
d. Construction completion will be protected by
performance bonds, insurance and completion
Wednesday - March 25, 2026 - PAGE 36
reserves.
3. DIRECT the LAHD to report back with the value of
potential loss of tax revenue, if any.

Wednesday - March 25, 2026 - PAGE 38
1. DETERMINE that the Project is exempt pursuant to Section
15060(c)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines. In accordance with this section, an activity is not
subject to CEQA if it does not meet the definition of a project.
Section 15378(b)(4) states that government fiscal activities
which do not involve any commitment to any specific project
which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on
the environment do not meet the definition. Therefore, the
approval of this draft ordinance to authorize procurement of
power transformers, spare parts, and commissioning services is
not subject to CEQA.
2. APPROVE the Department of Water and Power (DWP)
proposed Resolution for the Large Power Transformers and
Variable Shunt Reactors for Various Substations Project:
a. Authorizing the DWP to use a competitive sealed bid
proposal method in accordance with Charter Section
371(a) and Los Angeles Administrative Code (LAAC)
Section 10.15(f), permitting negotiations after proposals

estimated cost of $732 million and a term not-to-exceed
nine years, to procure large power transformers and
variable shunt reactors for various substations, including
spare parts and associated manufacturer representative
services.
3. PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying ORDINANCE dated
February 24, 2026, authorizing the Board of Water and Power
Commissioners to award one or more agreements pursuant to a
competitive sealed proposal method and to permit negotiations
relating to the procurement of highly specialized power system
equipment.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Administrative Officer reports that
there is no impact on the General Fund. The proposed Resolution and
Ordinance authorizes the use of the competitive sealed proposal
Wednesday - March 25, 2026 - PAGE 39
method under LAAC Section 10.15(f) to procure Large Power
Transformers, Variable Shunt Reactors, spare parts, and associated
manufacturer representative services. The Resolution and Ordinance
covers only administrative costs and excludes any contract
expenditures. The ensuing contract(s) is funded through a power
reliability surcharge passed on to DWP customers for a total
estimated cost of approximately $732 million. The above
recommendations comply with the DWP adopted Financial Policies.

meet that definition. Therefore, amendments to LAAC Section
23.143.1 are not subject to CEQA.

Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Administrative Officer reports that
approval of the amendment to LAAC Section 23.143.1 will have no
impact on the General Fund. The environmental credits and

EXEMPTION, ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE REPORT
and ORDINANCE FIRST CONSIDERATION relative to the utilization
of an alternative project delivery method on a competitive sealed
proposal basis and approval of project delivery criteria for the Encino
Reservoir Floating Pilot Project (Project).
Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL
OF THE MAYOR:
1. DETERMINE that this Project is exempt pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section
15060(c)(2). In accordance with this section, an activity is not
subject to CEQA if it will not result in a direct or reasonably
foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The
approval of this draft ordinance will authorize the use of the
competitive sealed bid proposal method to let a contract and will
not result in any physical change in the environment; therefore,
Wednesday - March 25, 2026 - PAGE 43
the proposed action is not subject to CEQA.
2. APPROVE Board of Water and Power Commissioners (Board)
