the Northwest San Pedro Neighborhood Council passed a motion supporting the
idea of creating a mechanism whereby Neighborhood Councils can file Council files
and therefore supports NCRC Recommendation #3.
On December 5, 2007, the Van Nuys
Neighborhood Council (VNNC) discussed and approved supporting the NCRCs
Recommendation #73 which states that, The City shall, within seven years,
appoint a commission to examine the progress of the NC system in light of the
recommendations of the NCRC. VNNC believes that the best development of the
NC system is assured when we make carefully considered, periodic evaluations of
our activities. In fact, VNNC recommends that we repeat this process every 5
years.
At its Board of Directors Meeting of
December 5, 2007, the Van Nuys Neighborhood Council (VNNC) discussed and overwhelmingly
approved the following motion: VNNC supports the NCRCs Recommendation #10
which re-ratifies and facilitates the handling of CISs. It allows alternative
methods for those NCs who do not wish to and cannot submit electronic
submissions. A combined effort from the NCs should accompany DONEs efforts to
inform and educate the NCs in the value and techniques of CISs.

1. FIND that the
establishment of OPD No. 513, pursuant to Los Angeles Municipal code (LAMC)
Section 80.54, is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
under the General Exemption (Article II, Section 1, of the 2002 Los Angeles
City CEQA Guidelines).
2. ADOPT the accompanying
RESOLUTION establishing OPD No. 513, pursuant to LAMC Section 80.54 to include
all street segments within the area bounded on the north by Roscoe Boulevard,
on the east by the San Diego Freeway, on the south by Saticoy Street, and on
the west by Woodley Avenue with both sides of the northerly, southerly and
westerly boundary streets to also be included in OPD No. 513.
3. AUTHOIRZE the
following restriction for use in all of OPD No. 513:
TOW AWAY NO
PARKING 2 AM TO 6 AM
4. REQUIRE that the Los
Angeles Police Department should have the primary responsibility for the
enforcement of the authorized overnight parking restriction in OPD No. 513,
with the support from the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT)
Parking Enforcement, since the reported problems involve criminal activity.
5. DIRECT the LADOT to
post the authorized overnight parking restriction signs on the following
streets within OPD No. 513, except for areas where parking is currently
prohibited at all times in the interest of traffic flow or safety or where
there are existing parking prohibitions that encompass the 2 AM to 6 AM time
period, upon Council establishing OPD No. 513:
a. Both sides of
Strathern Street between Gloria Avenue and Aqueduct Avenue
b. The north side of
Blythe Street between Woodley Avenue and Gloria Avenue
c. The south side of
Blythe Street between Gaviota Avenue and Gloria Avenue
d. Both sides of Arminta
Street between Woodley Avenue and the dead end east of Gloria Avenue
e. Both sides of Stagg
Street between Gloria Avenue and Aqueduct Avenue

to install or remove the authorized OPD No. 513 parking restriction signs on
any of the street segments within OPD No. 513, except for areas where parking

District.
7. DIRECT the LADOT to
prepare a Notice of Determination reflecting the Council=s actions under
Recommendation No. 1 above and file such notice with the City and County Clerks
within five working days of the City Council=s action.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The LADOT reports
that all costs of the Overnight Parking Program are intended to be fully
supported by fees charged for Overnight Parking Permits, or from other
contributions. Since there will be no Overnight Parking Permits for OPD No.
513 and no other contributions have been identified, the cost of parking
restriction sign installation will have to be absorbed by the DOT General Fund
Budget for Fiscal Year 2007-08. However, the City may gain additional General
Fund revenue from the issuance of parking citations to violators of the OPDs
parking restrictions.

10. DIRECT the LADOT
to prepare a Notice of Determination reflecting the Council=s actions under Recommendation
No. 1 above and file such notice with the City and County Clerks within five

Fiscal Impact Statement: The LADOT reports

service, and the City is entitled to fully recover the costs of administering,
posting, maintaining and enforcing these OPDs through the fees charged for
permits. At this time, the annual cost of this special service is unknown but
it is expected to be somewhat less than the cost of the Preferential Parking
Program. Therefore, the City Attorney has recommended that the LADOT set the
initial OPD permit fees at a level of approximately two-thirds of the current
Preferential Parking District fees. A cost analysis of the Overnight Parking
Program is planned following the end of the 2006-07 Fiscal Year, after the
Overnight Parking Program has been in effect for about one year and the permit
fees will be adjusted accordingly based on the results of that analysis. In
addition to recovering the full cost of the Overnight Parking Program from

issuance of parking citations to violators of the OPDs parking restrictions.
