City Council Meeting

April 15, 2026
Meeting ID: 18052

Meeting Summary

What Happened

Ten to thirteen members were present through the April 15, 2026 meeting. Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson introduced a motion, adopted unanimously, referring a business-backed ballot initiative to repeal the city's gross receipts tax to the City Administrative Officer for a fiscal-impact report, one of several statutory options available before the council must act within 30 days. Harris-Dawson said the repeal would eliminate roughly $800 million a year in general fund revenue with no replacement plan, calling it "one of the most irresponsible proposals" he'd seen from the business community; Council Member Katy Yaroslavsky said the effort was funded largely by United Airlines and the National Hotel Association, out-of-state interests that had separately spent millions last year on a failed referendum against the city's Olympic wage ordinance. Council Member Monica Rodriguez agreed the repeal effort was reckless but said it also reflected genuine business frustration with the city's economic-development failures, and urged colleagues to pair opposition to the repeal with a serious conversation about supporting local job creation.

Council adopted, unanimously, a motion from Council Member Ysabel Jurado directing the Department of Transportation to return with traffic-calming measures such as barriers and speed tables to prevent street takeovers in downtown Los Angeles, and an ordinance from Council Member Imelda Padilla establishing revenue-sharing for new digital advertising sign structures, reserving 25% of shared revenue for a citywide transportation-improvement fund. Padilla separately highlighted a joint Council District 6/7 funding item, with Council Member Rodriguez, to permanently fix chronically vandalized lighting in pedestrian tunnels under the I-5 freeway near Sharp Elementary School after repeated copper-wire theft.

Two items drew recorded opposition with no floor debate. A Transportation Committee report establishing oversize-vehicle parking restrictions on several Council District 11 street segments (Item 13) passed 10-3, with Council Members Eunisses Hernandez, Jurado, and Hugo Soto-Martinez voting no. A Public Safety and Budget and Finance Committees report accepting a Fiscal Year 2024 State Homeland Security Program grant (Item 25) passed 10-3, with the same three members voting no.

Public comment featured dozens of LAX airport workers and SEIU-USWW/UNITE HERE Local 11 members describing how the city's Olympic minimum-wage ordinance had let them afford rent, medication, and transportation, and urging the council to resist pressure from Delta and United Airlines — which several speakers noted do not pay the gross receipts tax at issue — to roll back the wage policy. A large group of speakers, many affiliated with the Trans Latina Coalition's Angels of Change program, urged support for a resolution, introduced that day by Council Member Jurado, opposing federal proposals from HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to restrict Medicaid coverage for gender-affirming care for minors. Several Eagle Rock-area and El Sereno residents separately criticized a Council District 14 housing development approval process, and Los Angeles County Assessor's office staff thanked the council for considering state legislation aligning property tax assessment standards with expedited wildfire-rebuilding permits.

PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the Pedestrian Facility Inventory and Condition Assessment Pilot Project, the Pedestrian Facility Damage Severity Matrix, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Self Evaluation and Transition Plan for Public Right of Way, and related matters.

Official recommendation
RECEIVE AND FILE the Pedestrian Facility Inventory and Condition Assessment Pilot Project Final Report, attached to the Bureau of Engineering (BOE) dated February 10, 2026, attached to the Council file. DIRECT the BOE and Bureau of Sanitation (BOS), in consultation with Department of Transportation (DOT) and any other relevant departments, to report in 120 days with a consolidated list of existing City programs that construct, repair, remediate, and/or maintain pedestrian facilities, including current funding, staffing, workflow, and prioritization methodology. ADOPT the standardized Pedestrian Facility Damage Severity Matrix (Table 4-2 of said BOE report), superseding the Damage Severity Matrix adopted by the Council in 2018 under Council file No. 14-0163-S3; and, AUTHORIZE the City Engineer to make technical changes. DIRECT the BOE, in partnership with the BOS, to prepare technical specifications for maintenance work on sidewalks and curb ramps and issue a Special Order within 120 days. DIRECT the BOE, in coordination with the Department on Disability, BOS, DOT, and other relevant departments, to report with a scope of work and resources needed to complete a formal citywide ADA Self Evaluation and Transition Plan for Public Right of Way pedestrian facilities and directly associated assets. Fiscal Impact Statement: The BOE reports that approval of the recommendations in said BOE report have no direct fiscal impact. The recommended actions include direction to report with information about new programs and associated costs. Like all other asset classes, implementing asset management practices for pedestrian facilities will require direct expenditures on staff, contractual services, equipment, and materials. The said BOE report recommends phasing in new programs over time to manage upfront costs and build capacity. Over time, proactive asset management is expected to significantly reduce liability costs resulting from the current condition of the City’s pedestrian facilities.

GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS and GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY, INNOVATION, AND AUDITS COMMITTEES’ REPORT relative to the City’s procurement process for commodity contracts.

Official recommendation
REQUEST the Controller proceed expeditiously with the planned independent audit on commodity procurement (including the competitiveness of the citywide procurement process) and present the findings.

INSTRUCT the General Services Department, with the assistance of the City Attorney, to: Identify and report on necessary adjustments in the Los Angeles Municipal Code that enable for contracts to be adjusted or nullified if it is beneficial to do so. Report on the feasibility of including a clause in new commodity contracts that allows the City to compare supplier pricing against current market and requires vendors to offer the most favorable pricing available to the city, including prices offered to the public, to ensure the City is paying a fair price for acquired goods.

COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE CITY CLERK and CITY ATTORNEY, CERTIFICATE OF SUFFICIENCY OF INITIATIVE PETITION, RESOLUTION, and ORDINANCE FIRST CONSIDERATION relative to an Initiative Petition regarding the Repeal of Los Angeles City Business Gross Receipts Tax on Virtually All Businesses Operating in the City.

Official recommendation
DETERMINE to submit the proposed initiative ordinance, without alteration, to a vote of the electors of the City at the next regular City and Statewide election conducted by the County of Los Angeles to be held more than 110 days from the date of Council action (the City’s General Municipal Election held on November 3, 2026). B. CITY ATTORNEY REPORT Recommendation for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR: ADOPT the proposed initiative ordinance, without alteration. OR ADOPT the accompanying ELECTION ORDINANCE and BALLOT RESOLUTION to submit the proposed initiative ordinance, without alteration, to a vote of the electors of the City at the next regular City and Statewide election conducted by the County of Los Angeles to be held more than 110 days from the date of Council action (the City’s General Municipal Election held on November 3, 2026). OR REFER the proposed initiative ordinance to a department or office for a report on its fiscal and other impacts, provided that the Council takes one of the above actions within 30 days after referring the proposed initiative ordinance for a report. Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Clerk reports that, for Option 1, there would be no additional financial impact relative to Election costs. For Option 2, a standalone, Citywide Special Election would cost approximately $31.8 million ($30.1 million for the cost incurred by the RR/CC to conduct the Special Election and $1.7 million for preparing and mailing Voter Information Pamphlets [VIPs]). This option may also entail possible voter fatigue due to City of Los Angeles voters being asked to vote in multiple elections within a few months. For Option 3, if the City Council determines to submit the proposed ordinance to the electorate at the November 3, 2026 General Municipal Election and funds for ballot measures are already budgeted, there will be zero to minimal additional financial impact relative to Election costs since there will be Citywide races included on the ballot. And for Option 4, there would be no additional financial impact relative to election costs, unless Council selects Option 2 or Option 3, as listed above. The City Clerk also reports that funding for the November 3, 2026 General Municipal Election has been requested as part of the City Clerk's 2026-27 budget submission; however, a final budget appropriation will not be available until the 2026-27 Proposed Budget is released April 20, 2026. TIME LIMIT FILE - APRIL 15, 2026 (LAST DAY FOR COUNCIL ACTION - APRIL 15, 2026) (Rules, Elections, and Intergovernmental Relations Committee waived consideration of the above matter.)

APPROVE and APPROPRIATE up to $1,687,380 from Homeless Efforts - County Funding Agreement Fund No. 63Q/10, Account No. 10T618, Homeless Effort - County Funding Agreement, to the following accounts for demobilization of the THV located at 6073 North Reseda Boulevard, also known as Topham, in CD 3: Up to $89,260 to General Services Department (GSD) Fund No. 100/40, Account No. 001014, Salaries, Construction Projects. Up to $482,005 to GSD Fund No. 100/40, Account No. 001101, Hiring Hall Construction. Up to $321,337 to GSD Fund No. 100/40, Account No. 001121, Benefits Hiring Hall Construction. Up to $794,778 to GSD Fund No. 100/40, Account No. 003180, Construction Materials. APPROVE and APPROPRIATE up to $20,000 from Homeless Efforts - County Funding Agreement Fund No. 63Q/10, Account No. 10T618, Homeless Effort - County Funding Agreement, to the Bureau of Engineering Fund No. 682/50, in a new account entitled “CD 3 Topham Demobilization”, to support the deconstruction of the Topham THV in CD 3. APPROVE and APPROPRIATE $46,485 from Homeless Efforts - County Funding Agreement Fund No. 63Q/10, Account No. 10T618, Homeless Effort - County Funding Agreement, to CAO Fund No. 100/10, Account No. 003040, Contractual Services, to support security costs during the demobilization of the Topham THV in CD 3. Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the recommendations stated in the February 25, 2026 CAO report, attached to the Council File, include transfers, appropriations, and authority for expenditures totaling $53.7 million. This consists of $12.7 million from various special funds, $36.3 million in MICLA funds, and $4.7 million in Capital and Technology Improvement Expenditure (CTIEP) funds. All transfers and appropriations are based on existing funds, reimbursements, or revenues. There is an unanticipated General Fund impact in an amount not yet determined for operations and maintenance costs of two facilities currently not in operation, a park within Destination Crenshaw and Taxco Theatre. These costs will be addressed through the City budget process at the time the facilities are scheduled for completion. Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the recommendations stated in the February 25, 2026 CAO report, attached to the Council File, comply with the City’s Financial Policies in that appropriations for funds are limited to available cash balances needed to fund ongoing maintenance, programming, project shortfalls, and critical operational needs in the current budget year. Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of MICLA debt is a General Fund obligation. The appropriation of MICLA funding for the Active Decarbonization Pilot Projects (Item B in the February 25, 2026 CAO report, attached to the Council File) would cause the City to borrow $0.9 million at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over a period of 20 years. The reauthorization of 2022-23 MICLA funding authority to the City Hall Entry Doors Project (Item KK in the February 25, 2026 CAO report, attached to the Council File) would cause the City to borrow $0.6 million at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over a period of 20 years. The reauthorization of 2022-23 MICLA funding authority to the West Valley Police Station Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Replacement Project (Item LL in the February 25, 2026 CAO report, attached to the Council File) would cause the City to borrow $1.0 million at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over a period of 20 years. The total estimated debt service for these projects is $4.2 million, including interest of approximately $1.7 million. During the life of the bonds, the estimated average annual debt service is $0.2 million over a period of 20 years. Actual interest rates may differ as rates are dependent on market conditions at the time of issuance. The CAO 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.
