A. AD HOC COMMITTEE ON UNARMED CRISIS PREVENTION, INTERVENTION, AND COMMUNITY SERVICES Recommendations for Council action: 1. REQUEST the Board of Police Commissioners (BOPC) to amend Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Department Manual Section 1/240.06, entitled Policy – Limitation on Use of Pretextual Stops, to replace the existing limitation policy with strengthened guidance and additional prohibitions to ensure fair treatment and efficient deployment of resources. The updated policy should include the following: a. Prohibit all pretextual stops and detentions that result from pretextual stops of motorists and cyclists, except in cases where the violation poses a significant and imminent safety risk. b. Prohibit consent-based searches of persons, vehicles, or personal effects during pretextual traffic stops. This prohibition does not apply to searches supported by a valid warrant, probable cause, or other lawful justifications independent of consent. c. Ensure compliance with California Assembly Bill (AB) 2773 by requiring officers to clearly articulate the reason for the stop on Body-Worn Video (BWV) before commencing any questioning. Officers should thoroughly record, both visibly and audibly, any reasonable suspicion that develops after the initial stop. Wednesday - May 6, 2026 - PAGE 5  d. Ensure proper compliance and the implementation of AB 2147 (2022) to prevent racial bias in stops of pedestrians. e. Report back, with the assistance of the City Attorney, on the process and the necessary steps to implement a mail-based notification system that would allow certain traffic violations, allowing vehicle owners to receive violations by mail in lieu of an officer-initiated stop. Under this framework, the vehicle owner would still be responsible for correcting or otherwise remedying the violation. The report should outline any moving, equipment, and non-moving violations eligible for mail-in enforcement. f. Affirm LAPD’s authority to conduct stops for traffic violations that endanger public safety and for reasonable and articulable suspicion of crimes. 2. REQUEST the Office of Inspector General to monitor LAPD Traffic Stop Data, incorporating findings from the Audit Division’s quarterly AB 2773 compliance audits and the Stops Review Pilot Program, and provide semi-annual reports to the Council on the effectuation of this policy, including analyzing the feasibility of updating LAPD’s public traffic dashboard to distinctly track and display pretextual stop data. 3.

The Federal grant will reimburse up to 88.53% ($119,964) of the indirect costs, and the City will absorb the remaining $15,543 as SB1 does not pay for indirect costs.

CITY CLERK Patrice Y. Lattimore Date: - - - -- - -- - - - -  PUBLIC SAFETY MOTION Frequent rubbish and vegetation fires within the California Department of Transportation's (Caltrans) right-of-way have become a sustained and serious issue in the City of Los Angeles, with recurring incidents occurring in restricted, confined infrastructure and freeway-adjacent areas that are not intended for public access. These events present an immediate risk to public safety, critical infrastructure, and surrounding communities, while placing a growing fiscal burden on the City of Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Fire Department is repeatedly required to respond to fires within State-controlled right-of-way areas, diverting limited emergency resources, driving overtime costs, and further straining already impacted public safety services. • The latest incident, a fire within an access portal directly under the Interstate 110 in the Wilmington and San Pedro area, prompted a complete freeway closure and brought a range of concerns into sharp focus , from potential structural compromise to traffic management challenges, as well as the coordination and delivery of timely public safety notifications. This event highlights the urgency of the issue and the City's growing exposure to financial ·liability and service disruptions resulting from Caltrans' failure to adequately secure, monitor, and maintain its assets. As reflected in Council File 26-0674, the City has acted diligently to coordinate across agencies and respond to emerging safety risks, even where jurisdiction lies with Caltrans and other entities. However, the frequency of these incidents and the mounting cost to City resources ·necessitate a focused evaluation of cost recovery options and a clearer accounting of the scale of emergency responses occurring within Caltrans' right-of-way. I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council direct the City Administrative Officer (CAO) and the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), and any other relevant departments, in coordination with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), to report with an analysis on the total number and frequency of LAFD responses to rubbish and vegetation fires over the past three years and the current Fiscal Year 2025-2026, and the number and percentage of those fires that occur within the Caltrans right-of-way. I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council direct the CAO and the Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA), in coordination with the Office of the City Attorney and LAFD, to report on : • The estimated costs associated for the City with these Caltrans right-of-way responses, including personnel costs for the last three years and the cunent Fiscal Year 2025-2026; • The feasibility, legal authority, and process required for the City to seek reimbursement or cost recovery from CAL FIRE, Caltrans, or other responsible State entity; and Mt ;2026  • Any existing agreements, policies, or precedents related to interagency cost-sharing or reimbursement for fire response services in State-controlled infrastmchire areas, and whether these frameworks can be revisited or renegotiated to achieve cost savings.

PRESENTED BY: TI Councilmember, 15 th District SECONDED BY:  MOTION The 2025 Annual Homeless Count reported 7,174 family members experiencing homelessness in the City of Los Angeles, of which, 4,027 of those are minors. The A Bridge Home (ABH) site located at 3061 Riverside Drive in Council District 4 provides 26 units to families, and previously counted towards the City's Roadmap Agreement. The ABH site opened on April 16, 2021, and is operated by People Assisting the Homeless (PATH). While the goal is to find permanent housing for all homeless residents, ABH sites are designed to be "no-barrier" shelters that provide a wide range of critical services that address the immediate needs of families experiencing homelessness, including case management, housing navigation, mental health services, and life skills. The City currently holds a lease agreement with L&R Construction, Inc. for the site, which expired on April 14, 2026, and is currently in holdover. Therefore, I MOVE that the City Council: 1. Determine the funding allocation, lease, and continued use for a period of up to three years for the Bridge Housing (ABH)/Low Barrier Navigation Center at 3061 W. Riverside Drive for those experiencing homelessness, are statutorily exempt from CEQA under PRC Section 21080.27.5, applicable to low barrier navigation centers; and Government Code Section 8698.4(a)(4) governing homeless shelter projects under a shelter crisis declaration; 2. AUTHORIZE the General Services Department (GSD) to execute a new, or amend the existing, lease agreement with L&R Construction, Inc. for the ABH site located at 3061 Riverside Drive in Council District 4 with 26 units for up to three years; 3.
