Wakiesha Wilson was an Angeleno born into a multigenerational household in Watts, where her
family's life was rooted in community, care, and connection. A mother and an indelible part of her
close-knit household, Wakiesha exuded warmth, creativity, and empathy to all who knew her.
On March 27, 2016, Wakiesha Wilson died while in custody at the Los Angeles Police
Department's Metro Detention Center after being detained on ai minor offense. Her family did not
receive any notice of her death, learning of her passing themselves only after conducting an
anguishing four-day search.
This painful experience exposed a critical gap in transparency, oversight, accountability, and basic
human dignity within our custodial systems. This operational failure compounded upon the
devastating, irreparable loss of a grieving family. In the years that followed, Wakiesha's mot her
and aunt, Lisa and Sheila Hines, transformed their grief into sustained advocacy addressing these
systematic gaps and demanding justice for their community.
Supported by community organizers including Black Lives Matter- Los Angeles, their near1y
decade-long struggle resulted in the passage of "Wakiesha's Law," authored by Assemblymember
Isaac Bryan and signed into law in October 2025. The law requires that families be notified within
24 hours when a loved one dies or suffers serious injury while in a jail or detention facility, marking
a cr itical advancement in our public safety framework. Wakiesha's Law is also the first California
state law named in honor of a Black woman, cementing her legacy in state history.
In recognition of Wakiesha Wilson's life, her enduring impact on public policy, and the profound
movement for dignity and accountability carried forward in her name, it is fitting and appropriate
tlhat the Cfty of Los Angeles name the intersections of the Los Angeles Police Department's Metro
Detention Center, "Wakiesha Wilson Square," ensuring that her name, story, and legacy remain
visible in the civic fabric of the city she called home.
I THEREFORE MOVE that the intersection at Los Angeles Street and Temple Street be designated
as ''Wakiesha Wilson Square" and that the Department of Transportation be directed to erect
permanent ceremonial sign(s) to this effect at this location.

WHEREAS, any official position of the City of Los Angeles with respect to legislation, rules,
regulations or policies proposed to or pending before a local, state or federal governmental body or
agency must have first been adopted in the form of a Resolution by the City Council; and
WHEREAS, heavy service vehicles, such as garbage, recycling and utility trucks, contribute
significantly to pavement wear and deterioration; and historically, many cities account ed for these
impacts by incorporating the cost of repairs into rates, fees, or franchise arrangements tied to providing
those services; and
WHEREAS, a 2025 appellate court decision, Rogers v. City of Redlands, disrupted this
long-standing practice by holding that including road repair costs within solid waste rates violated
California Vehicle Code section 9400.8, an unrelated and decades-old section of t he state's vehicle code,
even when those costs were directly tied to the impacts of providing waste collection services; and
WHERcAS; SB 922 (Baird) would respond to that decision by clarifying that fees associated with
providing public services may include the recovery of street maintenance and repair costs related to
providing such services; and
WHEREAS, by reaffirming long-standing local authority, the bi!'I would reduce unnecessary
litigation and provide greater certainty for cities and service providers alike; and
WHEREAS, SB 922 does not create a new fee authority or expand local taxing power, but instead
would restore the legal framework that existed for decades prior to Rogers v. City of Redlands and ensure
that roadway repair costs remain aligned with the activities that cause damage; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that by adoption of t his Resolution, the City of Los Angeles
hereby includes in its 2025-26 State Legislative Program SUPPORT for SB 922 (Baird), which would clarify
that a fee, charge, or surcharge imposed by or for a local agency to recover the cost of street
maintenance and repair and other costs associated with the use of its streets, roads, or highways to
provide public services or public works is not a tax, permit fee, or other charge for the privilege of using
stIreets or highways within the scope of California Vehicle Code section 9400.8.

RECOVERY
BUDGET & FINANCE
MOTION
Following the devastation and loss of the Palisades Fire, many longtime residents and
businesses are faced with the daunting task and uncertainty of rebuilding their homes and
businesses. The City should do everything within its power to alleviate the financial burden for
these residents and businesses in order to facilitate their return and stabilize the Pacific Palisades
community.
One area in which help could be provided is sales tax relief. Rebuilding projects will
involve significant purchases of materials and supplies ranging from raw materials like lumber to
finished goods such as appliances. Some of these purchases can be expected to occur within the
City of Los Angeles, resulting in sales tax revenues, potentially revenues in excess of what might
have been collected but for the Palisades Fire.
Although the bulk of the revenue collected through the City's 9.75% sales tax is earmarked
for the State and County or pre-committed to non-General Fund purposes, one percentage point
of the sales tax revenues is returned by the State to the City's General Fund, and some of these
funds could potentially be made available to provide sales tax relief for prudent expenditures made
to support Palisades reconstruction.
I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council INSTRUCT the City Administrative Officer, with
the assistance of the Office of Finance and the City Attorney, to report to Council wjthin 60 days
on potential options for implementing sales tax relief for purchases made to support Palisades
reconstruction, excluding properties that have been sold since January 7, 2025, focusing on
returrung the City's 1% share of sales tax paid within the City of Los Angeles for purchases made
in support ofreconstruction projects that qualify as prudent capital cost expenditures. The report
should include consideration of the following;
a. Options for structuring such a program, amung to ensure any paymenls are
appropriately tied to the capital costs of prudent reconstruction purchases whlle
mirumizing the administrative burden of the program, both for the City and for
Palisades residents and businesses;
b. The appropriate type of documentation and/or level ofreview for such a program;
c. Potential General Fund costs of the program, including, if applicable, the need for new
staff posi!ions to administer it; ..
d. Potential economic benefits of such a program;
e. An estimate of the potential dollar value of such rebates, both in total and on average
per eligible home and/or business;
f. Whether sales tax relief payments would be subject to federal tax;
g. The extent to which sales tax costs linked to reconstruction are or are not covered 17,v
insurance for residents and businesses in the Palisades; and
h. Any legal constraints or requirements for such a program.

SRP has been the City's primary mechanism for remediating existing pedestrian facilities to ensure accessibility.
working alongside the City's other capital programs to bring the public right-of-way into compliance with the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.
However, it is clear the City's current efforts fall short of meeting the scale of need. Angelenos, including
members of the disability community, have consistently voiced their frustration with the City's inability lo
implement more. While the SRP has_made important progress, it remains -primarily reactive, prioritizing individual
requests only from the disability community rather than proactively addressing all problematic sidewalks, curb
ramps, and infrastructure repairs citywide, To begin closing this gap, the Bureau of Engineering (BOE) and lhe
Bureau of Street Services (BSS) are advancing the Pedestrian F~cility rnventory and Condition Assessment Pilot
Project (C.F. 25-1142), which utilizes Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology to collect systemwide data
on pedestrian infrastructure conditions, develop an updated Pedestrian Facility Damage Severity Matrix, and clarify
depa1tmental roles and responsibilities. This effort will establish a data-driven foundation to manage over 9,000
miles of sidewalks and more than 80,000 curb ramps, guiding Capital lmprovement Program investments, budget
decisions, and future program development.
Meeting the Citls public dght- of-way accessibility obligations requites sustained and strategic investment
in the City 's core service-delivery Public Works Bureaus responsible for critical infrastructure repair. At the same
time, funding alone is not sufficient. The City must also evaluate and modernize its policies, ordinances, and overall
delivery n1etbods to ensure that resources are being deployed as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible. The city
must be committed to examining every available mechanism from cost matrices, delivery models, staffing
structures, municipal code provisions, and emerging technologies so that no opportunity to accelerate progress and
reduce liability goes unexamined.
By pairing the findings of the Pedestrian Facility Inventory and Condition Assessment w1th targeted
operational and policy reforms, and by scrutinizing every program, funding stream, and regulatory tool at the City's
disposal, the City can better position itself to meet its legal obligations, reduce its growing liability exposure, and
deliver timely, high-quality pedestrian infrastructure improvements for A11gelenos.
( THEREFORE MOVE that the Council INSTRUCT the Bureau of Engineering (BOE), with assistance
from the City Attomey, the Bureau of Street Services (BSS), and C ity Administrative Officer, to repo1t back on the
following:
• Recommendations lo update the Access Request Prioritization Matrix and the City Facilities and Program
Access Improvement Prioritization, including the incorporation of an equity-based criteria, high
pedestrian-traffic areas, and locations with increased liability exposure.
• A cost-benefit analysis of curb :tamp constrnction and sidewalk repairs across neighboring cities and
comparative jurisdictions, including their compliance efforts with accessibility standards, costs, design best
practices, production rates, delivery models, and prioritization strategies, and recommendations for best
practices that could be adapted and implemented in the City.
• An evaluation of whether the City's constiuction and accessibility standards for pedestrian facilities exceed
federal and State ADA requirements, and recommendations to align standards, where appropriate, to ensure
, \
comp liance while maximizing the number of pedestrian facility repairs and improvements <lei i vcrcd
cityw ide.
I FURTH ER MOVE that the Council rNSTRUCT BOE, w11h assistance from BSS, City Attorney, CAO
and other departments as necessary. to report back with the following;
• An evaluation of Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 62.104, and any other relevant ordinances related t0
sidewalk repair, including recommendations to update these provisions to align with the City's obligations
under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), while identifying opportunities for cost recovery.
• Recommendations to improve program delivery, including potential restructuring of City crews, contracting
models, and interdepartmental coordination to increase efiiciency and accelerate project delivery.
• Identify resources, technologie,'i, and tools to streamiine s1dev,alk and curh ramp repair work.
I FURTHER MOVE that the Council INSTRUCT BSS, with assistance from BOE, CAO. and other
departments as necessary, to report back with the fo llowing.
• A cost matrix of personnel, materials, and construction needed to complete one lane mile of street
pavement resurfacing and repavement, including metrics on how many curb ramps arc required per lane
mile and the circumstances regarding their requirement.
• Cost efficiencies for both lane mile resurfacing and repavcment and curb ramp construction based on any
factors such as geography, time of year, bulk material ordering, contracting, and any other considerations as
deemed appropriate by BSS, BOE, and/or CAO.

The Bureau of Street Lighting (DSL) is responsihle for managing, maintaining, and repairing
223 ,000 streetlights connected to over 7,000 miles of underground conduit, along with the associated
infrastmcture. BSL has operated on approximately $45 million annually since 1996 - less than 0.5% of
the total City budget - a figure that has remained largely unchanged for three decades.
The majority of BSL's bodget comes from the Prop 218 City Street Lighting District Assessment,
which has been frozen at 1996 assessment values. State and local law require BSL to deliver equal street
lighting services to all property owners. The bureau's function is to respond to service requests in the
order they are received. Given the high volume of service requests and limited budget. BSL has set a
service level of I year for repairs to street lights to meet the requirements of the 1996 assessment. Of
current service requests, 60% are related to deferred and delayed maintenance, while 40% are related to
vandalism or theft.
Despite these constraints, BSL has maximized its limited resources by implementing an LED
conversion program and installing solar lights, saving millions in energy costs and generating ongoing
savings for maintenance and repair. flowever, the current fonding model, sustained by the 1996 allotment,
is unsustainable in the long term. BSL is authorized to move forward with a citywide protest-vote ballot
measure that will update the over 550,000 parcels to current maintenance costs. Updated fu nding would
improve response times for repairs and maintenance aod support cost-saving programs such as solar light
conversion.
The proposed ballot measure is projected to generate $125 million annually. To ensure these
resources are deployed without delay, tbe City should begin coordinating now with departments and
employee labor organizations on staffing needs, hiring policies, and on boarding procedures.
I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council instmct the City Administrative Officer (CAO) and the
Personnel Department, in coordination with the Bureau of Street L ighting (BSL) and its respective
employee labor organizations, to report to the Budget and Finance Committee during the FY 2026- 27
Budget Hearings with a framework and analysis for expedited hiring. T he report should present a range of
options. including but not limited to: (I) fron t-funding hiring through various means and methods; (2)
expanding resources and expertise within the Personnel Department; (3) deployment models that better
utilize programs within the affected employee labor organizations such as apprenticeship programs; and
(4) transferring hiring functions from the Personnel Department directly to city departme

SECONDED BY:
f\O HOC COMMITTEE ON THE 2028
OLYMPIC AND PARAOLYMPIC GAMES
MOTION
PUBUrWORKS
Mayor Bass's "Games for All" vision names accessibility as the foundation of an inclusive Games legacy,
noting that 2028 will mark the first time Los Angeles hosts the Paralympic Games alongside the Olympic Games.
Jn anticipation of enhanced services needed to make major corridors ready for the world stage, the adopted Fiscal
Year 2025-26 Budget dedicated an initial $5.3 million for proactive infrastructure repairs near 2028 Olympic and
Paralympic Games venues, fan zones, and key access routes. The Bureau of Engineering, in close collaboration
with the Department of Transportation, Bureau of Street Services, and Bureau of Street Lighting has since
conducted a comprehensive infrastructure inventory and assessment near Games venues that identifies sidewalk
repairs and related infrastructure improvements needed to ensure corridor safety and accessibility (C.F. 25-1142).
To meet the accelerated timelines, Departments need access to the funding to accelerate repairs and project delivery
in time for this year's World Cup.
The Office of Major Events is leading a coordinated, multi-departmental strategy to ensure key corridors
and event sites are safe, accessible, and supportive of multiple modes of transportation. This coordinated approach
to infrastructure planning, project delivery, and maintenance is essential to delivering comprehensive mobility
improvements and long-term improvements beyond 2028. To maximize the benefits of these mobiljty
improvements and ensure the efficient use of limited City resources, the City should prioritize investments in
community-based partners such as the Los Angeles Neighborhood Initiative (LANI) and the Los Angeles
Conservation Corps (LACC). LANJ has demonstrated success in delivering projects in the public right-of-way,
while LACC has piloted a successful Youth Sidewalk Repair program that can be scaled to support these efforts.
I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council declare the repair of pedestrian facilities (sidewalks, curb ramps,
crosswalks, etc.) for the LA28 Games a matter of urgent necessity for the reasons stated above and authorize the
Department of Public Works and/or the City Engineer, or designee, to utilize existing and future contracts as
appropriate, including emergency pre-qualified on-call contracts, to accelerate repairs.
I FURTHER MOVE to authorize the Controller to appropriate $5,281,686 from the Unappropriated
Balance fund No. 100, Dept. No. 58, Account No. 580442, entitled "2028 Games Project Public Right of Way
Improvements" to the Bureau of Engineering (BOE), Board of Public Work Office of Community Beautification
(OCB), and Department of Transportation (LA DOT) for pedestrian facility repair, construction management,
engineering support and consultant services to achieve public-right-of-way and mobility readiness for the 2028
Games as follows:
BOE: Fund No. I 00, Dept. No. 78, Account No. 0010 l 0 165,000
BOE: Fund No. 682, Dept. No. 50, Account No. TBD 700,000
OCB: Fund No. I00, Dept. No. 74, Account No. 003040 3,986,868
LADOT: Fund No. 59C, Dept. No. 94, Account No. TBD
titled "2028 Games Mobilitv Capital Projects" 430.000
$ 5,281,868
I FURTHER MOVE to instruct BOE to utilize the $165,000 for staff costs related to accelerated repairs
and the $700,000 appropriated into the new account entitled "2028 Games Mobility Capital Projects" for
construction contracts costs and consultant services contracts costs to oversee and implement the pedestrian facility
repair construction work.
I FURTHER MOVE th.at the Council instruct the Board of Public Works Office of Community
Beautification to to utilize $3,986,868 with the Los Angeles Neighborhood Initiative and the Los Angeles
Conservation Corps to repair sidewalks near 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games venues, fan zones and key
access routes. The funding allocated to LACC should go to its Youth Sidewalk Repair Program to provide paid
on-the-job training to local youth between the ages of 18-26.
I FURTHER MOVE to instruct LADOT to utilize the $430,000 appropriated into the new account entitled
"2028 Games Mobility Capital Projects" for capital planning and engineering support services costs to coordinate
public right-of-way and mobility capital projects necessary for the 2028 Games.
I FURTHER MOVE to authorize the ControlJer to appropriate $20,000 from Fund No. 59V, Dept No, 94,
Account. No 50AZBQ, entitled "Vision Zero - Projects" to the Bureau of Street Lighting (SSL) Fund No. l 00, Dept.
No. 84, Account No. 00 J 090, Salaries, Overtime, for costs related to street lighting design of safety and mobility
projects in support of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games and City-wide FIFA Activations:
I FURTHER MOVE to authorize the City Engineer, or designee,to make any technical and/or accounting
corrections, clarifications, or revisions to the above instructions, including any new instructions, in order to
effectuate the intent of this Motion, and including any corrections and changes to fund or account numbers; said

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.
Friday - March 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.
