City Council Meeting

March 11, 2026
Meeting ID: 17921

Meeting Summary

What Happened

Council President Harris-Dawson presided over the March 10, 2026 meeting with all 15 members present throughout the session.

The council unanimously approved several routine items including investment reports (CF 25-0283), volunteer trust fund matters (CF 26-0230), and various legal services agreements. Items 5, 6, 8, and 9 passed without discussion as a group. The council also approved multiple closed session settlement items totaling over $6 million in payouts, including a $1.7 million judgment payment and a $1.5 million settlement.

Emergency Services Fee Increases (CF 25-0410) The council approved increases to emergency services rates after Council Member Lee made technical amendments. The original proposal would have increased Advanced Life Support fees from $1,862 to $2,068 as recommended by the fire department. Lee initially moved an amendment but later reconsidered the item to adopt the fire department's recommended fee structure. The measure passed 15-0 after reconsideration.

Corporate Housing Ownership Study (CF 23-0840) Council Member Rodriguez's motion to study corporate consolidation of housing stock generated significant discussion. Rodriguez explained the need to better track ownership patterns through Business Tax Registration Certificates (BTRCs) to understand how mass corporatization affects small landlords and first-time homebuyers. Council Member Hernandez offered an amendment requiring departments to also develop policy solutions, not just study the trends. She argued that large corporations are treating homes "like commodities in an investment portfolio" and squeezing both tenants and small landlords. Council Member Nazarian supported the expanded analysis, connecting it to his own motion on single-family home ownership. The measure passed 15-0 with amendments.

Police Legal Defense Contracts (CF 26-0232) Council Member Nazarian called this item for a separate vote, resulting in the only contested vote of the day. The item authorized legal services agreements with various law firms for police defense litigation. The measure passed 10-5, though the transcript does not specify which members voted against it.

ULA Income Support Program (CF 23-0038-S13) Council Member Raman amended the ULA income support program for seniors and disabled residents, making a technical correction to replace "West Adams LMERT Park FSE" with "Genese Center" as the contractor name. Council Member Price recused herself as a landlord. Council Member Hernandez strongly defended the $15.8 million program, arguing it provides up to $19,000 per household in direct cash assistance to prevent evictions. She emphasized that "keeping people in their homes is more cost-effective and more compassionate than trying to house someone after they've already lost their housing." The measure passed 14-0 with Price recused.

ULA Ad Hoc Committee (CF 24-2000-S2) Council President Harris-Dawson's motion to create an ad hoc committee to review Measure ULA sparked debate. Council Member Hernandez warned against letting "special interest groups" and "manufactured corporate panic" undermine the voter-approved measure. She argued the review must be "rooted in accurate data" and not driven by "fear-mongering of those who opposed it from day one." Harris-Dawson responded that the committee would examine what has and hasn't worked, including "taxing the building of affordable housing" which he said wasn't in the spirit of voter intent. The motion passed 15-0.

Public comment included opposition to ULA amendments from Community Power Collective, concerns about aggravated assault clearance rates, criticism of street closures around Scientology events at the Shrine Auditorium, and support for AB 1537 prohibiting LAPD officers from serving as ICE agents. Several speakers criticized various city policies and called for police accountability measures.

HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS COMMITTEE REPORT relative to establishing a process to assess and report on trends related to the concentration of ownership and corporatization of the City’s housing stock that may negatively impact renters, limit small landlord ownership opportunities, and limit first-time homebuyer opportunities.

Official recommendation
INSTRUCT the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD) to establish an ongoing process to assess and regularly report to Council on trends related to size of ownership inventories, ownership organizational entity structures, and owner business models or behaviors that may negatively impact renters, limit small landlord ownership opportunities, and limit first-time homebuyer opportunities; and, INSTRUCT the LAHD to report to Council on the following options contained in the LAHD report dated October 3, 2025, attached to Council file No. 23-0840, to expand the foundational analysis of the report: OPTION 1 - Explore the Potential Link between Rapid Ownership Growth, Owner Behavior, and Renter Displacement Risk: Identify the number of owners with rapidly increasing inventories beyond the largest included in this report and analyze the extent to which their administrative records demonstrate an increased risk of renter displacement under their ownership. LAHD data to be examined include, but are not limited to Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO) complaints, Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance (TAHO) complaints, code complaints, eviction filings, and tenant buy-out agreements. OPTION 2 - Property Flipping: Identify the number of actors in the City whose primary business model is property flipping. Examine the most common renovations associated with flipping, how soon after purchase do the new owners typically flip the property, how much the flipped sales price increases over the acquisition price, whether existing tenants are likely to be permanently displaced by renovations, and in which neighborhoods are most impacted by property flipping. Data to be examined include First American sales data and Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) permit data. OPTION 3 - Acquisition of Properties from Distressed Small Landlords and Homeowners: Analyze the extent to which distressed small landlords and homeowners who fall behind on their mortgage payments lose their properties to larger actors acquiring via short-sales or foreclosure. Data to be analyzed include but are not limited to the City’s Foreclosure Registry Program, and First American sales and foreclosure data. OPTION 4 - Use of Organizational Entities by Small Landlords: To better understand the extent to which organizational entity ownership is associated with portfolio size, analyze the extent to which small landlords create organizational entities, such as limited liability companies (LLCs) and trusts to hold their properties (typically done via Quitclaim Deed transfers). Data to be examined includes First American’s non-sale transfer data. OPTION 5 - Better Distinguish a Small Landlord from a “Large” Landlord: Before determining whether an owner is a “small” owner, expand the assessment of the size of a property owner’s inventory to include all of Los Angeles County, not just the City. A countywide understanding of an owner’s portfolio size will give the City a better understanding of ownership size and how they are changing. The distribution of housing ownership can then be analyzed to identify the percentages of ownership at different threshold levels, for example, how many landlords own 10 or fewer units, 5 or fewer units, 2 or fewer units. Data to be examined includes Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO) and Just Cause Ordinance (JCO) Registration Data, and Los Angeles County Assessor Data. Fiscal Impact Statement: The LAHD reports that there is no impact to the General Fund.
