Los Angeles City Council agenda, October 13, 2026

October 13, 2026, 10 a.m. · Updated October 10, 2026

On the agenda: The Los Angeles City Council's Oct. 13, 2026 agenda lists 21 items, 14 substantive and seven routine. The largest is an ordinance raising the annual permit fee for shared scooter and e-bike companies from $20,000 to $150,000 and changing per-trip fees, which the City Administrative Officer estimates would bring in $2,127,000 more. Also scheduled for a vote are the $21,464,101 PlayLA youth sports plan for 2026-27, paid by LA28, new loan terms for Los Angeles Family Housing to keep 24 affordable units at two buildings, and a request for a plan to add long-running restaurants to the Legacy Business Program.

Agenda only. As of October 10, 2026, the October 13, 2026 meeting of the Los Angeles City Council has not happened yet and nothing on its agenda has been decided. Agendas can change.

The items below follow the numbered agenda the City Clerk posted on Oct. 9, 2026. The agenda lists items 1 and 2 as items noticed for public hearing and items 3 to 10 as items for which public hearings have been held. It lists items 11 to 21 as items for which public hearings have not been held, so the Council needs 10 votes to take them up. Under the agenda’s rules, the ordinance in item 1 passes on first consideration only with a unanimous vote of at least 12 members present; otherwise it is laid over one week.

Routine items, from the agenda:

• 11: the final map for Parcel Map L.A. No. 2024-1839 at 13510 W. Kittridge St., west of Greenbush Avenue, with a subdivision improvement agreement and security documents. The City Engineer reports the subdivider paid a $9,064 processing fee and no added City funds are needed (CF 26-1393).
• 12: accept $100,000 paid by Downtown Live, LLC and Marriott International, Inc. for Lightstone DTLA, LLC, developer of the project at 1240-1260 S. Figueroa St. and 601 W. Pico Blvd., and deposit it in the Council District 14 Public Benefits Trust Fund for blight removal, facade improvements, street cleaning and graffiti removal. The motion says this is the ninth of ten $100,000 annual payments under the 2018 development agreement (Contract C-131790), with $100,000 left to pay. It is by Ysabel Jurado, seconded by Heather Hutt (CF 18-0269-S3).
• 13: $438 from the General City Purposes Fund’s Council District 4 community services account to General Services for Council District 4’s Diwali observance at City Hall on Nov. 8, 2026, including lighting City Hall. The motion is by Nithya Raman, seconded by Curren D. Price Jr. (CF 26-1395).
• 14: tell the Chief Legislative Analyst to delete the MINC Music & Arts Festival ($75,000) from the Council District 10 list of citywide special events and add the Mid City Music & Arts Festival at the same amount. The motion is by Heather Hutt, seconded by Eunisses Hernandez (CF 26-1396).
• 18: three transfers from the Council District 10 AB1290 redevelopment account to Recreation and Parks funds for Los Angeles Korean Festival costs: $61,151, $7,871.74 and $1,164.26. Our total: $70,187. The motion is by Heather Hutt, seconded by John S. Lee (CF 26-1409).

1. Ordinance raising shared scooter and e-bike permit fees to $150,000 a year

• What it does: Amends Municipal Code Section 71.29.1(a), the fee schedule for the Shared Mobility Device Permit Program, which LADOT also calls the On-Demand Mobility Program. Each company would pay a $150,000 annual permit fee and per-trip fees by zone: $0.20 in Equity-Focused Mobility Development Districts, $0.48 in Mobility Development Districts, $0.32 in Standard Permitted Districts and $1.54 in Special Operation Zones (draft ordinance). The current schedule is a $20,000 permit fee and trip fees of $0.00, $0.06, $0.20 and $0.40 in the same four zones (CAO report). The City Attorney’s report says that because the ordinance raises fees, state law requires a noticed public hearing with two newspaper publications, which is why the item appears under items noticed for public hearing.
• Who brought it: The council file began with an Oct. 3, 2017 motion by David E. Ryu, seconded by Bob Blumenfield (CF 17-1125). The fee schedule in the ordinance is the one the Public Works and Transportation Committees amended on Jan. 28, 2026, raising LADOT’s proposed permit fee to $150,000 with an offsetting cut in trip fees. On July 1, 2026 the Council adopted a motion by Katy Yaroslavsky, seconded by Marqueece Harris-Dawson, to adopt the Budget and Finance Committee report (CF 17-1125). The City Attorney sent the ordinance on Aug. 26, 2026 “pursuant to your request” (City Attorney report).
• Money: The City Administrative Officer reports that the program took in $583,214 in 2024-25, about 20 percent of program costs of about $2.9 million. The CAO estimates the new schedule would raise revenue by $2,127,000 and cover all but $211,950 of the program’s cost; that gap is the General Fund subsidy for trips ending in the equity districts, where the added trip fee is waived. The 2026-27 budget already assumes the increase. LADOT expects four companies to apply for or renew permits in 2026-27. The CAO also lists two risks: fewer companies than expected, leaving LADOT to absorb lost revenue, and smaller companies being priced out (CAO report). The agenda says the City Attorney submitted no fiscal impact statement and neither the CAO nor the Chief Legislative Analyst has analyzed the ordinance itself (agenda).
• Who it affects: Shared scooter and e-bike companies permitted in the City, and riders, since the fees are set per trip (CAO report). The CAO report says the Public Works Committee asked LADOT, the CAO and the City Attorney on Jan. 28, 2026 to study a tiered permit fee that scales with company size for the next fee update.
• Neighborhood council positions: The agenda lists no Community Impact Statement on the ordinance. Seven statements have been filed on the council file since 2017; the most recent, from the Downtown Los Angeles Neighborhood Council on May 10, 2023, supported the file by a 13-0 board vote before the current fee proposal existed (statement, CF 17-1125).
• Committee vote: The Public Works Committee approved the ordinance 3-0 on Sept. 8, 2026 (Eunisses Hernandez, Imelda Padilla and Heather Hutt voting yes). The Transportation Committee approved it 3-0 the same day (Hutt, Hernandez and Padilla yes; Traci Park and Adrin Nazarian absent). The Budget and Finance Committee concurred 5-0 on Sept. 15 (Yaroslavsky, Blumenfield, Hernandez, Hutt and Tim McOsker yes) (joint committee report).

2. Vacate Turner Street from Alameda Street to Temple Street

• What it does: Starts street vacation proceedings for Turner Street between Alameda Street and Temple Street, finds the vacation exempt from CEQA and not needed for public use or non-motorized transportation, and adopts the City Engineer’s July 29, 2026 report with its conditions (committee report). The City Engineer reports that the petitioner is the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which owns the adjoining properties and wants the street to maintain landscaping and streetscape. The street is a dead end built over with Metro Gold Line tracks and a parking entrance since the Little Tokyo station cut off access around 2009. The report also denies vacation of a smaller area the City needs for street purposes, and lists conditions including a 27-foot dedication along Alameda Street, a new sidewalk where Turner Street meets Temple Street, and arrangements with AT&T and Lumen, which have facilities in the street (City Engineer report).
• Who brought it: The Bureau of Engineering, after the Council adopted a motion by Ysabel Jurado, seconded by Adrin Nazarian, on Sept. 3, 2025 to restart the vacation. Earlier approvals in 2006 and 2018 expired when the petitioner did not finish the conditions within two years (City Engineer report, CF 18-0195).
• Money: Metro paid a $47,100 deposit for the investigation and must cover any deficit. The City would no longer maintain the street (committee report).
• Who it affects: Council District 14. The City Engineer reports no objections were submitted, and that City Planning, LADOT and the Fire Department did not object (City Engineer report).
• Committee vote: The Public Works Committee approved it 3-0 on Sept. 8, 2026 (Hernandez, Padilla and Hutt yes) (committee report).
• What’s next: The conditions must be met within two years of the Council’s action or the vacation ends without further Council action (City Engineer report).

3. Legacy Business Program expansion and a restaurant protection ordinance

• What it does: Tells the Office of Wage Standards and the Community Investment Department, with the City Attorney and the Restaurant Equity Alliance, to report to the Economic Development and Jobs Committee within 90 days with: recommendations to open the Legacy Business Program to restaurants and other small businesses that have operated in the City for at least 10 years, comply with local labor standards and meet at least three of the program’s current criteria, including a possible tiered program; an analysis of why legacy businesses close and what help would keep them open; succession planning resources for worker-owned transitions; and recommendations for a Citywide Restaurant Protection Ordinance offering education, technical assistance and faster application processing for small and immigrant-owned restaurants with clean labor and health records. The report must take input from small restaurants, BusinessSource Centers, chambers of commerce, the California Restaurant Association and labor groups (committee report).
• Who brought it: Heather Hutt and Hugo Soto-Martínez, seconded by Eunisses Hernandez, in an Oct. 7, 2025 motion (CF 25-1180). Monica Rodriguez offered an amendment in committee on Sept. 18, 2026 that rewrote the instruction.
• Money: Neither the City Administrative Officer nor the Chief Legislative Analyst has done a financial analysis (committee report).
• Committee vote: The Economic Development and Jobs Committee approved it as amended 5-0 on Sept. 18, 2026 (Soto-Martínez, Curren D. Price Jr., Hernandez, Traci Park and Rodriguez yes) (committee report).

4. Olympics contracting for local, small and underrepresented businesses

• What it does: Tells the Bureau of Contract Administration, the Chief Legislative Analyst and the City Administrative Officer, with help from the Community Investment Department, Recreation and Parks, Los Angeles World Airports and agencies such as Metro and the County, to report within 90 days on procurement opportunities for local, small and underrepresented businesses at non-venue activations in the City during the 2028 Games, what procedures exist now, and how to expand contracting for those businesses (committee report).
• Who brought it: Marqueece Harris-Dawson and Imelda Padilla, seconded by John S. Lee, in a Dec. 10, 2025 motion (CF 15-0989-S59). The committee made a technical amendment replacing the Economic and Workforce Development Department with the Community Investment Department (committee report).
• Money: Neither the CAO nor the CLA has done a financial analysis (committee report).
• Neighborhood council positions: The North Westwood Neighborhood Council filed a Community Impact Statement in support on March 9, 2026 (statement).
• Committee vote: The Ad Hoc Committee on the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games approved it as amended 5-0 at a Sept. 30, 2026 special meeting (Harris-Dawson, Price, Padilla, Soto-Martínez and Yaroslavsky yes; Blumenfield and Rodriguez absent) (committee report).

5. LA28 Cultural Olympiad planning report

• What it does: Directs the Department of Cultural Affairs, with the CAO, the CLA and the Mayor’s Office, in consultation with LA28, to report within 60 days on the status of planning for the LA28 Cultural Olympiad (committee report).

6. PlayLA youth sports plan for 2026-27, paid by LA28

• What it does: Approves the Department of Recreation and Parks’ 2026-27 Youth Sport Partnership Project Plan under the City’s agreement with LA28, has the CAO write the Controller instructions to spend from the Youth Sport Partnership Fund (Fund 63K), and, under an amendment added in committee, tells Recreation and Parks to report on how youth sports subsidies could continue after the PlayLA partnership ends in 2028, including whether the Games’ legacy entity could support or endow them (committee report, amending motion).
• Who brought it: The Board of Recreation and Park Commissioners, in Board Report 26-192 approved Aug. 20, 2026. The amendment is by Katy Yaroslavsky, seconded by Marqueece Harris-Dawson, dated Sept. 30, 2026 (board report, amending motion).
• Money: The plan asks LA28 for $21,464,101 for 2026-27: $14,822,235 for recreation leagues and classes at 93 prequalified recreation centers and eligible participants at 32 others, including the basketball development, cricket and pickleball programs; $2,501,197 for swim classes at 41 prequalified pools and 12 others plus surfing; $2,964,169 for signature programs in aquatics, sports and fitness, and adaptive sports; and $1,176,500 for Safe Sport, marketing, printing and media buys. The department projects 161,353 youth enrollments, against a 2018-19 baseline of 148,274, and says no new signature sports or pilots start in 2026-27. LA28 committed up to $160,000,000 for youth sports under the 2017 host city agreements (board report). The CAO and CLA report no General Fund impact; Recreation and Parks absorbs separate operating and maintenance costs for the signature programs within its budget (committee report).
• Who it affects: Families who qualify by income at recreation centers and pools across the City. Eligibility uses the HUD low-income limit for a three-person household in the Los Angeles area, $109,050 as of June 1, 2025, by self-attestation (board report).

• Who brought it: Monica Rodriguez, seconded by Eunisses Hernandez, in an Aug. 4, 2026 motion (CF 26-1055).
• Money: Neither the CAO nor the CLA has done a financial analysis (committee report).

8. Lafayette Park lease amendment for a Heart of Los Angeles seating area

• What it does: Approves the HOLA Rock Garden Project and a first amendment to Lease Agreement C-129943 so Heart of Los Angeles Community Partners leases an added piece of Lafayette Park, 625 S. Lafayette Park Place, for the project, and finds it exempt from CEQA as a minor alteration of an existing facility (committee report). The project, designed with cityLAB-UCLA, adds two groups of outdoor seating and a set of cornhole boards on the north side of the HOLA Arts and Recreation Center, next to the park’s 6th Street pedestrian entrance, in the current public picnic area; existing picnic tables would be removed. A Norco furniture maker, QCP, is donating the pieces. The department says the project does not affect trees or shade (board report).
• Who brought it: The Board of Recreation and Park Commissioners, Board Report 26-190, adopted Aug. 20, 2026. The board report says HOLA gave more than $700,000 in 2006 toward the park’s multipurpose building and holds a 50-year lease the board approved June 21, 2017 for its 24,860-square-foot Arts and Recreation Center (board report).

• Committee vote: The Arts, Parks, and City Facilities Committee approved it 2-0 on Oct. 7, 2026 (Monica Rodriguez and Adrin Nazarian yes; Katy Yaroslavsky absent) (committee report). The council file’s activity log labels the Oct. 7 approval as the Budget and Finance Committee’s; the committee report is from the Arts, Parks, and City Facilities Committee, so the records differ (CF 17-0744-S1).
• What’s next: Oct. 16, 2026 is the last day for Council action under the file’s time limit (agenda).

9. Rancho Preschool agreement at Cheviot Hills Recreation Center

• What it does: Approves an agreement with Rancho Preschool Inc., a California nonprofit, to run a recreational child development and preschool program during the academic year in the Cheviot Hills Aquatic building at Cheviot Hills Recreation Center, 2551 Motor Ave., and finds it exempt from CEQA as a license to use an existing structure. The committee report says the organization has been running a parent cooperative preschool for up to 24 children ages two years six months to five years there and proposes to add a transitional kindergarten program (committee report).
• Who brought it: The Board of Recreation and Park Commissioners, Board Report 26-198, dated Aug. 20, 2026 (CF 26-1162).
• Money: The board reports no adverse impact on the department’s General Fund; the organization is self-sustaining and covers its own program costs (committee report).
• Who it affects: Council District 5 (CF 26-1162).
• Committee vote: The Arts, Parks, and City Facilities Committee approved it 2-0 on Oct. 7, 2026 (Rodriguez and Nazarian yes; Yaroslavsky absent) (committee report).
• What’s next: Oct. 16, 2026 is the last day for Council action (agenda).

10. New loan terms for Los Angeles Family Housing at Strong Residence and Harmony Place Apartments

• What it does: Lets the Housing Department negotiate new loan agreements with Los Angeles Family Housing for two buildings the City inherited from the former Community Redevelopment Agency in 2013, and asks the City Attorney to prepare the documents. At Strong Residence, six units at 826 Coronado St., the loan would get a new maturity date of June 10, 2045, matching the end of the ground lease, and a new regulatory agreement would restrict all six units to very low income households (up to 50 percent of area median income) through that date; the department says the affordability terms now sit only in the 1990 development agreement and ground lease. At Harmony Place Apartments, 18 two-bedroom units at 5321 Harmony Drive, the loan would get a new maturity date of Sept. 19, 2040, reserve requirements would be updated, and an amended regulatory agreement would restrict the 18 units to very low, low and moderate income households through that date. The department says the Harmony Place affordability covenant expired Sept. 20, 2020 (LAHD revised report, committee report).
• Who brought it: The Los Angeles Housing Department, in an Aug. 20, 2026 transmittal revised on Sept. 22, 2026 after changes the City Attorney required (CF 26-1157).
• Money: The department reports the Strong Residence loan, $999,711 in principal, matured July 8, 2022 and has not been repaid; unpaid interest was $978,582 as of Sept. 15, 2026. The Harmony Place loan, originally $2,291,000 in 1991 with $1,591,000 in principal left, matured Nov. 18, 2022; unpaid interest was $1,640,416 as of Sept. 15, 2026. Both are residual receipts loans, and the department says neither building’s cash flow can pay off or refinance the debt; Strong Residence paid $17,625 in residual receipts for 2024 and Harmony Place had negative cash flow that year. The new loans would roll the principal and unpaid interest into the new terms. The department reports no General Fund impact; neither the CAO nor the CLA has done a financial analysis (LAHD revised report, committee report).
• Who it affects: Tenants of the 24 restricted units, in Council Districts 1 and 2 (committee report).
• Committee vote: The Housing Committee approved it 3-0 on Oct. 7, 2026 (Imelda Padilla, Ysabel Jurado and Traci Park yes) (committee report).
• What’s next: Oct. 16, 2026 is the last day for Council action under the file’s time limit (agenda).

15. Reactivate Council File 02-1520 on a decentralized regional district system

• What it does: Restores an expired 2002 council file on implementing a “Decentralized Regional District System for delivery of services to all the people of Los Angeles” to its last legislative status. The file expired under the Council’s file-expiration policy (CF 05-0553) (motion). The Clerk attached the complete old file to the new council file (CF 26-1397).
• Who brought it: Tim McOsker, seconded by Heather Hutt, in an Oct. 2, 2026 motion (CF 26-1397). On Oct. 7, 2026 the Council voted 14-0 on a similar McOsker motion to reactivate an expired Charter amendment file on a community borough system (our Oct. 7 meeting page).

16. $200,000 for additional homeless services in Council District 13

• What it does: Moves $200,000 from the Council District 13 AB1290 redevelopment account to the Bureau of Sanitation for additional homeless services in the district: $80,853 for overtime, $99,076 for contractual services, $2,342 for field equipment and $17,729 for operating supplies (motion). The motion does not describe the services.
• Who brought it: Hugo Soto-Martínez, seconded by Eunisses Hernandez, in an Oct. 2, 2026 motion placed directly on the agenda under Council Rule 16 (CF 26-1401).
• Who it affects: Council District 13 (CF 26-1401).

17. Speed humps on 60th Street between Crenshaw Boulevard and 8th Avenue

• What it does: Moves $16,000 from the pipeline franchise revenue portion of the Council District 8 Real Property Trust Fund to LADOT’s contractual services account to install speed humps on 60th Street between Crenshaw Boulevard and 8th Avenue (motion).

• Who it affects: Council District 8 (CF 26-1408).

19. Soil cleanup before new crosswalks on North Spring Street

• What it does: Moves $186,300 from LADOT’s Vision Zero projects fund to the Integrated Solid Waste Management Trust Fund so the Bureau of Sanitation’s Citywide Brownfields Program can pay Geosyntec Consultants, Inc., under on-call contract C-202382, for cleanup planning, soil removal and disposal before new signalized crosswalks are built at North Spring Street and Ann Street and at North Spring Street and Mesnager Street. The motion says the Council District 1 office designed the crosswalks with LADOT and California State Parks, and that due diligence found contaminants requiring targeted soil excavation (motion).
• Who brought it: Eunisses Hernandez, seconded by Katy Yaroslavsky, in a Sept. 22, 2026 motion. The Transportation Committee waived consideration on Oct. 6, 2026, sending it to the full Council without a committee vote (CF 26-1352).
• Money: Neither the CAO nor the CLA has done a financial analysis (agenda).
• Who it affects: Council District 1 (motion).
