October 14, 2025
Meeting ID: 17308

Meeting Summary

What Happened

Ten council members were present at the start of the meeting, rising to thirteen later in the session. Council adopted a large bloc of items with limited discussion, including nine street lighting district protest hearings (Items 3-11); a bond issuance for educational facilities in Council District 12 (Item 12, CF 25-1134, Lee-Blumenfield); a street vacation for 92nd Street in Council District 11 (Item 13, CF 24-0723); an ordinance increasing Bureau of Engineering fees (Item 14, CF 25-0600-S44); Proposition 56 tobacco tax grant funding (Item 16, CF 13-1204-S9); Measure A RESTORE program work plans for George Wolfberg Park, Wattles Garden Park, and Temescal Canyon Park (Item 17, CF 25-1016); permits authorizing demolition of a single-family residence and ADU at 9019 Monte Mar Drive in Council District 5 (Item 21, CF 25-1103, amended by Council Member Katy Yaroslavsky); a second-consideration amendment to Council Rule 7 increasing the consequences for an initial meeting disruption (Item 25, CF 16-1104-S2, Harris-Dawson-Soto-Martinez); a letter of support for UCLA's mobility and stormwater capture project (Item 26, CF 18-0384-S19); traffic-control funding for the October 4 "We the People are Rising" march (Item 27, CF 25-1151, Jurado-Hernandez); a rescission and revision of funding for the San Fernando Valley Community Mental Health Center's street outreach, amended by Council Member Bob Blumenfield and Council Member Nithya Raman (Item 28, CF 21-1022); and roughly a dozen additional district-specific spending and heritage-month motions (Items 29-40), including funding for Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Diwali, Italian American Heritage Month, and Latino Heritage Month observances. The Council also approved four closed-session settlements totaling roughly $918,000 (Items 41-44).

Contested Votes

Item 15 (CF 23-0600-S9) — Extra Capacity Refuse Collection Fee adjustment, adopted 11-2 on first consideration. An ordinance adjusting the Bureau of Sanitation's Extra Capacity Refuse Collection Fee passed 11-2 on first consideration, with Council Member Adrin Nazarian and Council Member Monica Rodriguez opposed; because the ordinance required a unanimous 12-vote threshold not reached, it was held over to October 21 for second consideration. The item was called for a separate vote but not extensively debated on the floor.

Items 23-24 (CF 25-1067, 22-0156-S2) — LAPD equipment donation and Metal and Wire Theft Reward Program, both adopted 8-2 on first consideration. A Public Safety Committee report accepting a non-monetary donation for LAPD Emergency Services Division command post vehicles and trailers (Item 23) and an ordinance establishing a Metal and Wire Theft Reward Program (Item 24) each passed 8-2, with Council Member Eunisses Hernandez and Council Member Hugo Soto-Martinez opposed to both; because ordinances require a majority vote of the full council, Item 24 was held over to October 21 for second consideration. Council Member Hugo Soto-Martinez explained his no vote on Item 24 at length, saying Public Safety Committee testimony from copper-theft-affected companies indicated that even private $25,000 rewards had proven ineffective, making the city's proposed $1,000 reward an unlikely deterrent. He argued the Bureau of Street Lighting had testified that 60% of streetlight outages stem from deferred maintenance rather than theft — a legacy of the fund not being reassessed since 1996 — and that the city should instead invest in hardening and properly funding streetlight infrastructure. A representative of the Central City Association spoke in support of both items during public comment, citing repair times exceeding 180 days for outages on major downtown corridors such as the Sixth Street Bridge.

Public Comment

A McDonald's worker spoke in support of a pending "fair wage for fast food workers" ordinance, describing the need for training on workplace rights that she said she only learned about after joining a union. A speaker raised concerns about a recent enforcement sweep of unhoused residents in the Westlake/MacArthur Park area conducted during severe weather, and about Council Rule 7's disruption-consequences item (Item 25), arguing the underlying 2018 legal memo supporting it mischaracterized City Council meetings as a "limited" rather than "designated" public forum.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (EIR),  MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PLAN, and STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS; and PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the vacation of 92nd Street east of Falmouth Avenue and its easterly terminus, VAC-E1401449 (Vacation).

Official recommendation
FIND that the City has imposed all the mitigation measures that are within its control, as described in the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Northside Plan Update EIR (consisting of the Draft and Final EIRs) dated May 2014 and February 2015, respectively (State Clearinghouse No. 2012041003), attached to the Council file. The EIR was prepared by the Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and included the Vacation. FIND that changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the Vacation that mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment. Those mitigation measures are described in the EIR and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan dated February 2015. A fully enforceable program for reporting or monitoring the changes required in the Vacation or made a condition of approval to avoid or substantially lessen significant environmental effects has been required by the City. A copy of the Bureau of Engineering findings and relevant mitigation measures for concurrence adopting this as set forth in the CEQA Review Memo, dated April 14, 2025, attached to the Council file. CONCUR with the Board of Airport Commissioners’ findings that the unavoidable significant adverse operational and construction air quality related impacts associated with the proposed Vacation are acceptable in light of the economic, legal, social, technological, and other benefits the proposed Vacation will bring to the surrounding community and LAWA. These specific overriding considerations are described in the Statement of Overriding Considerations for the LAX Northside Plan Update dated February 2015, attached to the Council file. CONCUR with the Board of Airport Commissioners’ findings that Lulu’s Place Recreation Project as part of the LAX Northside Campus District development complies with the LAX Plan, any design guidelines and standards required by the LAX Specific Plan, and all applicable provisions of the LAX Specific Plan, as fully set forth in the Executive Director’s Report, attached to the Council file. FIND that no new information exists to show that the Vacation or circumstances of the Vacation have been changed to require additional environmental review, as described in State CEQA Guidelines Section No. 15162; and, therefore the existing environmental documents adequately describe the potential impacts for this Vacation. FIND that the street vacation proceedings pursuant to the Public Streets, Highways and Service Easements Vacation Law be instituted for the vacation of the public right-of way indicated below and shown on the map identified as Exhibit A, attached to the Council file: 92nd Street between Falmouth Avenue and its easterly terminus FIND that there is a public benefit to this Vacation. Upon vacation of the street, the City is relieved of its ongoing obligation to maintain the street. In addition, the City is relieved of any potential liability that might result from continued ownership of the involved street easements. FIND that the Vacation is in substantial conformance with the purposes, intent and provisions of the General Plan, in conformance with Section 556 of the City Charter. FIND that the Vacation is not necessary for non-motorized transportation facilities, in conformance with Section 892 of the California Streets and Highways Code. FIND that the Vacation is not necessary for present or prospective public use, in conformance with Section 8324 of the California Streets and Highways Code. ADOPT said City Engineer's report with the conditions contained therein. Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Engineer reports that the petitioner has paid a fee of $47,080 for the investigation of this request pursuant to Section 7.42 of the Los Angeles Administrative Code (LAAC). Any deficit fee to recover the cost pursuant to Section 7.44 of the LAAC will be required of the petitioner. Maintenance of the public easement by City forces will be eliminated.

EXEMPTION, COMMUNICATION FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY and ORDINANCE FIRST CONSIDERATION relative to adjusting the Extra Capacity Refuse Collection Fee for the Bureau of Sanitation Solid Resources Program; and, ORDINANCES SECOND CONSIDERATION relative to amending Article 6.1, Chapter VI of the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) to amend the Multi-Family Bulky Item Fee, the Solid Waste Collection, Transfer, Recycling, Recovery of Waste Resources, and Disposal Fee, and the Low Income Customer Assistance Program, and amending Subsections (a) and (m) of Section 5.121.5 of Article 7, Chapter 6, Division 5 of the Los Angeles Administrative Code (LAAC) to change the fund administrator for the Solid Waste Resources Special Revenue Fund and the Multi-Family Bulky Item Fee Special Revenue Fund.

Official recommendation
FIND that the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to the creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities that do not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment; State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4). The draft Ordinance is, therefore, not subject to CEQA because it does "not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment." Any CEQA-defined projects constructed from the funds received from the enactment of this ordinance will be subject to a project-specific CEQA process before construction. PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying ORDINANCE, dated September 22, 2025, amending Subsections B and E of Section 66.48 of Article 6.1, Chapter VI of the LAMC to adjust the Extra Capacity Refuse Collection Fee. (12 UNANIMOUS VOTES REQUIRED TO ADOPT ORDINANCE ON FIRST CONSIDERATION) ORDINANCES SECOND CONSIDERATION Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR: PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying ORDINANCE, dated September 7, 2025, amending Subsections (a) and (d) of Section 66.40, Subsections (a) and (b) of Section 66.41, and Subsection A of Section 66.48, of Article 6.1, Chapter VI of the LAMC, to amend the Solid Waste Collection, Transfer, Recycling, Recovery of Waste Resources, and Disposal Fee and the Low Income Customer Assistance Program, and amending Subsection (a) of Section 5.121.5 of Article 7, Chapter 6, Division 5 of the Los Angeles Administrative Code to change the fund administrator for the Solid Waste Resources Special Revenue Fund. PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying ORDINANCE, dated September 7, 2025, adding Subsections (f), (g), (h), and (i) to Section 66.40 of Article 6.1, Chapter VI, and amending Subsections (c) and (e), and repealing Subsection (f), of Section 66.41 of Article 6.1, Chapter VI of the LAAC to amend the Multi-Family Bulky Item Fee, and amending Subsection (m) of Section 5.121.5 of Article 7, Chapter 6, Division 5 of the LAAC to change the fund administrator for the Multi-Family Bulky Item Fee Special Revenue Fund.
