City Council Meeting

September 09, 2025
Meeting ID: 17173

Meeting Summary

What Happened

Fourteen council members were present at the start of the meeting, rising to fifteen later in the session; Council Member Curren Price recused himself from Item 26 as a landlord. Council adopted a bloc of items with limited discussion, including grant funding from the state Department of Industrial Relations for worker-rights enforcement (Item 3, CF 25-0933); a "Know Your Rights" training requirement for city-funded homelessness and housing service providers (Item 6, CF 25-0847); a ministerial entitlement process for eligible affordable and mixed-income housing projects (Item 11, CF 21-1230-S10); and Item 8 (CF 14-1371-S15), a Personnel and Hiring and Economic Development and Jobs Committees report on resources to implement the Citywide Hotel Worker Minimum Wage Ordinance — known in public comment as the "Olympic wage" — which passed unanimously after Council Member Ysabel Jurado withdrew a proposed amendment. The Council also approved ten closed-session settlements (Items 27-36) totaling roughly $4.4 million, the largest being $1.88 million in John Castaniano v. City of Los Angeles (Item 32) and $950,000 in Armando Corona Tijoc et al. v. City of Los Angeles (Item 36).

During announcements, Council Member Hugo Soto-Martinez noted that a business-backed referendum effort to delay the hotel worker minimum wage ordinance had officially failed after missing the signature-verification deadline, and Council Member Nithya Raman and Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson addressed the U.S. Supreme Court's September 8 stay allowing federal immigration agents to continue using race, language, and occupation as factors in Los Angeles-area stops; Raman described two recent incidents in Council District 4, including detentions at the Studio City Hand Car Wash and the detention of a green-card-holding small business co-owner, and said she expected an escalation in enforcement activity.

Public Comment

A representative of BizFed LA, part of a coalition backing the referendum to delay the hotel worker minimum wage ordinance, alleged the city's signature-verification process for the referendum produced anomalous match and failure rates disadvantaging their side and said the coalition had asked the District Attorney to investigate; the referendum effort was confirmed to have failed later in the meeting. A large group of hotel and airport workers, including SEIU and UNITE HERE-affiliated members, along with representatives of the UCLA Undergraduate Student Association and Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice, urged Council to ensure the newly secured "Olympic wage" is implemented and paid without further delay, with several workers describing rising rent and mortgage costs the wage increase would help offset. A tenant citing an RSO unit whose rent rose nearly 40% over ten years urged Council to adopt a 3%-cap, 0%-floor Rent Stabilization Ordinance formula. Another speaker criticized a $17.3 million LAPD overtime appropriation approved earlier in the summer, citing injuries to protesters at demonstrations in June.

Funding for the remaining related costs of $69,840 is included in the City Attorney’s 2024-25 and 2025-26 Adopted Budgets. There is no matching funds requirement. There is no General Fund impact and the recommendations in this report are in compliance with the City's Financial Policies in that budgeted appropriations will be balanced against grant award receipts. The City’s Financial Policies require that the City pursue Federal, State, and private grants, but strictly limit the financial support of these programs to avoid commitments that continue beyond available funding. The recommendations in this report are in compliance with the City’s Financial Policies in that proposed funding is balanced against grant revenue approved by Council actions and from Federal and State grant receipts. All funding is subject to the availability of grant funds and determinations by Mayor and Council. Accepting the grant and approving the recommendations in this report are in compliance with the City’s Financial Policies as the grant funds are fully reimbursing the General Fund for grant eligible activities.

Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of MICLA debt is a General Fund obligation. The reauthorization of various projects (Items Z, DD, GG, JJ and PP detailed in the August 4, 2025 CAO report) would cause the City to borrow $10.7 million at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over a period of 20 years. The total estimated debt service for these projects is $18.0 million, including interest of approximately $7.2 million. During the life of the bonds, the estimated average annual debt service is $0.9 million over a period of 20 years. The reauthorization of Los Angeles Convention Center (LACC) MICLA projects (Item U) would cause the City to borrow $24.1 million at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over a period of 10 years. The total estimated debt service for these projects is $40.2 million, including interest of approximately $16.2 million. During the life of the bonds, the estimated average annual debt service is $2.0 million over a period of 10 years. Actual interest rates may differ as rates are dependent on market conditions at the time of issuance. The CAO stated that it cannot fully predict what interest rates will be in the future. In accordance with the City's Debt Management Policy, the City has an established debt ceiling to guide the evaluation of the affordability for future debt. The debt ceiling for non-voted direct debt as a percentage of General Fund revenues is six percent. The 2025-26 Adopted Budget non-voter-approved debt service ratio is 2.40 percent. The issuance of MICLA debt for these projects will not cause the City to exceed the six percent non-voter-approved debt limit. Community Impact Statement: None submitted.

PLANNING AND LAND USE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT relative to a ministerial entitlement process for eligible mixed income and 100 percent affordable housing and mixed-use projects.

Official recommendation
DIRECT the Department of City Planning (DCP) to report to Council within 60 days on providing a clear ministerial entitlement process for the following types of eligible mixed income and 100 percent affordable housing and mixed-use projects that are currently subject to discretionary review processes provided the projects provide the requisite percentage of affordable housing to qualify for: (i) enhanced development rights under the Citywide Housing Incentive Program (CHIP); and, (ii) an exemption to the Project Review Ordinance: Projects located in overlay zones (e.g., Community Design Overlays, Community Plan Implementation Overlays) and Specific Plan areas. Projects that require CHIP or State Density Bonus Law waivers of development standards, in addition to on or off-menu incentives/concessions. Ministerial projects otherwise made subject to discretionary review due to non-planning related approvals in urbanized areas, including but not limited to: (i) haul routes for projects located in Bureau of Engineering Special Grading Areas that require the import/export of more than 1,000 cubic yards of dirt; and, (ii) street tree removal permit approvals required by the Board of Public Works. Projects that meet the goals of the CHIP in good faith but face unique challenges that constrain project feasibility and unduly incur discretionary review or preclude them from using the CHIP entirely. DIRECT the DCP, with the support of other relevant departments, to report to Council with a detailed plan and specific recommendations regarding implementation of very recent amendments to the State Permit Streamlining Act as part of the 2025-2026 State Housing Budget Trailer Bills (Assembly Bill 130 and Senate Bill 130). These amendments, among other things, require ministerial entitlements for housing projects to be approved no later than 60 days from the date of a deemed complete application; otherwise, the project is deemed approved as a matter of law.

CONSIDERATION OF MOTION (NAZARIAN – LEE) relative to drafting an ordinance to amend the Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO) and other relevant City codes related to demolition.

Official recommendation
DIRECT the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD), with the assistance of the City Attorney and the Department of Building and Safety (DBS), to report and prepare a draft ordinance to amend the RSO, and other relevant City codes, to implement the intent of the Motion as follows: Require that a demolition permit be approved and issued by the DBS prior to the service or filing of any eviction notice related to demolition under the RSO and/or Ellis Act. (However, LAHD would not clear the demolition permit until it has verified the subject property is vacant.). Amend the applicable City codes to extend the period allowed to complete demolition after the issuance of a demolition permit from two (2) years to two and a half (2.5) years (i.e. - 30 months), while maintaining the existing one (1) year limit to commence work. Ensure enforcement mechanisms are incorporated so that failure to initiate or complete demolition within the amended timeline subjects the landlord or developer to penalties, including, but not limited to, tenant re-occupancy rights and financial restitution. INSTRUCT the DBS, the LAHD, and the Department of City Planning, the Bureau of Street Services, Bureau of Engineering, Bureau of Sanitation, and the Los Angeles Fire Department to report on timelines for clearances of demolition permits, as well as the issuance of the permit.
