| | | | | | | | BASIC CITY COUNCIL MEETING RULES
AGENDAS - The City Council meets Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at 10:00 A.M. The agendas for City Council meetings contain a brief general description of those items to be considered at the meetings. Council Agendas are available in the Office of the City Clerk, Council and Public Services Division, Room 395, City Hall, 200 North Spring Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012, and on the City's website at lacity.org; or lacouncilcalendar.com
Ten (10) members of the Council constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The Council may consider an item not listed on the agenda only if it is determined by a two-thirds (10) vote that the need for action arose after the posting of an Agenda. Some items on the agenda may be approved without any discussion, however, any item may be called "special" by a Councilmember. If an item is called "special" it will be "held" until the remainder of the items on the Council agenda have been acted on by the Council. An item may also be called "special" if a member of the public has requested to speak on the item and a public hearing was not previously held.
The City Clerk will announce the items to be considered by the Council, however items will be grouped. For example, all items for which required public hearings have not previously been held are listed in one section on the printed agenda. The Council President will ask if any Councilmember or member or the public wishes to speak on one or more of these items. If anyone wishes to speak on an item, it will be called "special". The remaining items in this section will be voted on by Council with one roll call vote.
PUBLIC INPUT AT CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS - An opportunity for the public to address the Council on agenda items for which public hearings have not been held will be provided at the time the item is considered or during the Multiple Agenda Item Comment period. Members of the public who wish to speak on items shall be allowed to speak for up to one minute per item up to a total of three minutes per meeting. The Council has determined that a cumulative total of 20 minutes is a reasonable minimum amount of time for the Multiple Agenda Item segment of each regular meeting.
The Council will also provide an opportunity for the public to speak on public interest items. Each speaker shall be limited to one minute of general public comment each regular meeting for a cumulative total of ten (10) minutes. The Council shall not discuss or take action relative to any general public comment.
If you wish to provide documents to the full Council for consideration on an item, please present the Sergeant-At-Arms with 35 copies. Otherwise, your materials will simply be added to the official record.
COUNCIL DISCUSSION AND TIME LIMITS - Councilmembers requesting to address the Council will be recognized by the Council President in the order requested. For any item, the Chairperson of the Committee, or the maker of the original motion, or the member calling a matter "special" shall have up to six (6) minutes to discuss the item. All other Councilmembers may speak up to three (3) minutes each on the matter. After all members desiring to speak on a question have had an opportunity to be heard once, the time for each Member desiring to speak again shall be limited to a maximum of three (3) minutes.
A motion calling the "previous question" may be introduced by any member during a Council debate. If adopted, this motion will terminate debate on a matter and the Chair will instruct the Clerk to call the roll on the matter.
VOTING AND DISPOSITION OF ITEMS - Most items require a majority vote of the entire membership of the Council (8 members). Items which have not been discussed in a Council Committee and have been placed directly on the agenda will require 10 votes to consider. Once considered, these items will normally require eight (8) affirmative votes to be adopted. Ordinances require a unanimous vote (at least 12 members must be present) in order to be adopted on first consideration. If an ordinance does not receive the necessary unanimous vote, it is laid over one calendar week. The votes required for approval on second consideration vary and depend upon the type of ordinance, but a typical ordinance requires eight (8) affirmative votes upon second consideration.
When debate on an item is completed, the Chair will instruct the Clerk to "call the roll". Every member present must vote for or against each item; abstentions are not permitted. The Clerk will announce the votes on each item. Any member of Council may move to "reconsider" any vote on any item on the agenda, except to adjourn, suspend the Rules, or where an intervening event has deprived the Council of jurisdiction, providing that said member originally voted on the prevailing side of the item. The motion to "reconsider" shall only be in order once during the meeting, and once during the next regular meeting. The member requesting reconsideration shall identify for all members present the agenda number, Council file number and subject matter previously voted upon. A motion to reconsider is not debatable and shall require an affirmative vote of eight (8) members of the Council.
When the Council has failed by sufficient votes to approve or reject an item, and has not lost jurisdiction over the matter, or has not caused it to be continued beyond the next regular meeting, the item is continued to the next regular meeting for the purpose of allowing the Council to again vote on the matter.
The City Council rules provide that all items adopted by the Council will not be presented to the Mayor, or other designated officer by the City Clerk until the adjournment of the regular Council meeting following the date of the Council action. A motion to send an item "forthwith" if adopted by ten (10) votes, suspends these rules and requires the City Clerk to forward the matter to the Mayor, or other officer, without delay.
RULE 16 MOTIONS - Council Rule No. 16, in part, allows a member to send an item directly to the Council without it having to go to a Council Committee first, by giving the City Clerk a motion (seconded by an additional member) during a Council session to be placed on the next regular available Council agenda.

Recommendations for Council action, pursuant to Motion (Cedillo - Englander):
- AUTHORIZE the Department of General Services (GSD), in consultation with the BOS, to negotiate a lease agreement between the City and the Cars911 Dealership for a portion (38,502 square feet) of the BOS North East Sewer Interceptor Air Treatment Facility located at 2110-2130 West San Fernando Road to be used for the display, storage and service of Cars911 Dealership vehicles; and under further appropriate terms and conditions to be negotiated with Cars911, including that the lease should be retroactive to April 2017 when CARS911 took over and bought the business and adjoining parcel from Glendale KIA.
- FIND pursuant to Charter Section 371 (e) (10) that the proposed lease agreement is exempt from the competitive bidding process in as much as the use of competitive bidding would be undesirable, impractical or impossible because CARS911 will be continuing the same business as Glendale KIA with the same employees; leasing the site to Cars911 will ensure that the property is occupied and maintained and eliminates the risk of illegal use, trash dumping, graffiti and other nuisance activities; and the lease will generate revenue for the City that would otherwise not occur due to the restrictive lease terms, site location, site size and existing conditions.

Neither the City Administrative Officer nor the Chief Legislative Analyst has completed a financial analysis of this report.
Community Impact Statement: None submitted.
TIME LIMIT FILE - DECEMBER 3, 2018
(LAST DAY FOR COUNCIL ACTION - NOVEMBER 30, 2018)

Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR:
- FIND that Watts Counseling and Learning Center, a 501(c)3 non-profit Community Benefit Program of Kaiser Permanente of Southern California/Foundation Health Plan, Inc.

- AUTHORIZE the General Manager, Department of General Services (GSD), with assistance from the City Attorney and other necessary departments, to finalize negotiations and execute a lease agreement with Kaiser for the Former Fire Station 65 property located at 1525 East 103rd Street, as illustrated in Attachment 1 and outlined in Attachment 2 of the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) report, dated October 4, 2018, and without material changes.
- FIND under the California Public Resources Code, Section 21166 and the State’s Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15162, on the basis of substantial evidence contained in the whole record, made at the public hearings on April 18, 2018, and pursuant to Charter Section 562 and the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) Section 12.27 B, that a zone variance from LAMC Sections 12.04.09 B and 12.23 B.7(a) to allow the change in use of a leased space within an existing municipal building in the Public Facility zone to a privately operated community services center on an interim basis is appropriate.
- DETERMINE that the five requirements and prerequisites for granting a variance as enumerated in Section 562 of the City Charter and Section 12.27 of the LAMC have been established by the adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration No. ENV-2017-1063-MND on July 16, 2018, there have been no changes to project, changes with respect to the circumstances under which the project is being undertaken or new information of substantial importance concerning the project, which cause new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects, and therefore no subsequent negative declaration, addendum, or further environmental documentation is necessary.

No increase to DASH or Commuter fares is proposed to support the increased costs. The use of MICLA CP as a cash flow mechanism to support current and future bus purchases is appropriate. The use of one-time funds, to support on-going programs is not in compliance with City fiscal policy, but will allow for the implementation of this Mayor and Council priority.
