Los Angeles City Council agenda, October 14, 2026

October 14, 2026, 10 a.m. · Updated October 10, 2026

On the agenda: The Los Angeles City Council's Oct. 14, 2026 agenda lists 30 items: 20 in open session and 10 closed sessions on lawsuits and tax matters. The largest money items are a sole-source contract with CGI Technologies and Solutions for the City's Financial Management System, up to $78,192,332 over 10 years, and a $20 million transfer within the Fire Department budget to cover a projected sworn overtime deficit, which the Budget and Finance Committee approved 4-0 on Oct. 6. The agenda also lists an appeal of the Planning Commission's approval of a wastewater pumping plant on Hurricane Street in Venice, which the Venice Neighborhood Council supports, and a Historic-Cultural Monument designation for the Mary Clay School in West Adams; both are due in Council the day after the Planning and Land Use Management Committee's Oct. 13 hearing.

Agenda only. As of October 10, 2026, the October 14, 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 item 1 as noticed for public hearing; it is an ordinance on first consideration, which under the agenda’s rules passes only with a unanimous vote of at least 12 members present and otherwise is laid over a week. Items 2 to 6 are items for which public hearings have been held. Items 7 to 20 had no public hearing, so the Council needs 10 votes to take them up. Items 21 to 30 are closed sessions (agenda).

Items 2 and 3 come to the Council one day after the Planning and Land Use Management Committee’s Oct. 13 hearing on them; the agenda says the committee’s report will be submitted in Council, and that if no public hearing is held in committee, the Council will take public comment (agenda, CF 26-1043, CF 26-0734-S1).

Routine items, from the agenda:

• 1: quitclaim a 25-foot sanitary sewer easement and a 40-foot sewer and drainage easement at 4466 E. Florizel Ave. in Council District 14, and adopt the Sept. 28, 2026 ordinance that authorizes it. The Bureau of Engineering reports that the petitioner, Related California, represents the owner, the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles, and wants the easements cleared to build affordable housing with new sewer and storm drain systems. The easements date from a 1947 tract map and are no longer used. A $7,075.91 processing fee was paid (Bureau of Engineering report, CF 26-1387).
• 5: transfer $50,000 in fiscal year 2026-27 Regional Threat Assessment Center grant funds to LAPD: $45,505 to sworn overtime and $4,495 to related costs. The agenda says the item is scheduled under a Council action of Sept. 16, 2026 (agenda, CF 21-0460-S5).
• 6: transfer $164,693 in fiscal year 2025 Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force grant funds to LAPD: $11,099 to general overtime, $140,400 to sworn overtime and $13,194 to related costs, also scheduled under the Sept. 16 Council action (agenda, CF 25-0015).
• 12 and 13: note and file the City Clerk’s annual reports on the Council District 5 Avenue of the Stars Community Amenities Trust Fund for 2023-24 and 2024-25. The committee reports say the fund was set up in 2014 for improvements, pilot programs or studies in the Century City area and had a balance of $167,229.14 on both June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2025. The Budget and Finance Committee recommended noting and filing both 4-0 on Oct. 6, with Katy Yaroslavsky absent (2023-24 report, 2024-25 report).
• 15: $438 from the Heritage Month Trans Day of Remembrance line to General Services to light City Hall on Nov. 19, 2026 for Council District 14’s observance, a motion by Ysabel Jurado seconded by Hugo Soto-Martínez (CF 26-1421).
• 16: $61,000 from the Sunshine Canyon Community Amenities Trust Fund: $25,000 for Heritage Christian School, $25,000 for the Valley Academy of Arts and Sciences PTSA and $11,000 for the Granada Hills Community Foundation, a motion by John S. Lee seconded by Monica Rodriguez (motion, CF 26-1422).
• 20: $438 from the Council’s Heritage Month Celebration and Special Events line to General Services to light City Hall on Oct. 15, 2026 for Council District 10’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month recognition, a motion by Heather Hutt seconded by Eunisses Hernandez (CF 23-1042-S4).

2. Mary Clay School Historic-Cultural Monument

• What it does: Adds the Mary Clay School at 3911 W. Adams Blvd. to the City’s list of Historic-Cultural Monuments and finds the designation exempt from CEQA. The Cultural Heritage Commission’s findings say the property was the site of the Mary Clay School, which it describes as the first Black-owned, non-sectarian private school in Los Angeles serving middle-income families, operating there from 1959 to 1998, and the long-term home of its founder, Mary Elizabeth Smith Clay, who lived there from 1959 until her death in 1971 (findings).
• Who brought it: The applicant is the City of Los Angeles; the owner is West Adams LLC (agenda). The Cultural Heritage Commission voted 5-0 on July 16, 2026 to recommend the designation, on a motion by Laura Dominguez seconded by Ethel Rubio, with Richard Barron, Pilar Buelna and Barry Milofsky also voting yes (commission report).
• Who it affects: Council District 10 (CF 26-1043).
• What’s next: The Planning and Land Use Management Committee scheduled the item for Oct. 13, and the agenda gives Oct. 14, 2026 as the last day for Council action (CF 26-1043, agenda). The commission’s letter says that under Administrative Code Section 22.171.10(f), an application the Council does not act on within the time limit is deemed denied (commission report).

3. Venice Auxiliary Pumping Plant appeal

• What it does: Decides an appeal of the City Planning Commission’s approval of a two-story, 2,283-square-foot wastewater pumping plant and a surface parking lot at 128, 133 and 139 E. Hurricane St., 3813 and 3817 S. Esplanade and 3913 S. Esplanade West. The plant would supplement the capacity of the existing Venice Pumping Plant, which sends wastewater to the Hyperion Treatment Plant. The approvals under appeal are a Class 3 conditional use permit for a pumping plant and parking lot in the PF zone and a project compliance finding under the Venice Coastal Zone Specific Plan. The Planning Commission approved the project 7-0 on Jan. 22, 2026, on a motion by Phyllis Klein seconded by Jacob Saitman, and relied on the project’s 2017 environmental impact report with addendums from 2021 and 2024 rather than a new one (commission determination letter). The Council already adopted the related General Plan amendment and zone change, from RW2-1 to PF-1, on June 30, 2026 under a separate file (CF 26-0734, appeal response).
• Who brought it: The applicant is the Department of Public Works, LA Sanitation and Environment, represented by the Bureau of Engineering. The appeal was filed by Kenya Lee on May 27, 2026, the last day to appeal (agenda, commission determination letter). City Planning’s Oct. 7 response lists 10 appeal points, among them residential buffering and land use compatibility and consistency with the certified Venice Land Use Plan and Coastal Act policies, and recommends that the committee and Council deny the appeal and sustain the commission’s action. The response also says the California Coastal Commission approved a coastal development permit for the project on Sept. 11, 2025 with a condition requiring the land use redesignation, and that the commission’s approval modified a condition to require the public parking lot to be locked from sunset to sunrise (appeal response).
• Who it affects: Council District 11, in the Ballona Lagoon West subarea of the Venice Coastal Zone (CF 26-0734-S1).
• Neighborhood council positions: The Venice Neighborhood Council filed a Community Impact Statement on Oct. 6, 2026 supporting the appeal. Its board voted 11-3, with one abstention and one recusal, on July 29, 2026 to “continue to recommend denial of the project proposed at 128 Hurricane St,” support “the citizen appeal of the CPC determination,” and ask Councilmember Park to “strongly support the appeal” (Community Impact Statement).
• What’s next: The Planning and Land Use Management Committee scheduled the appeal for Oct. 13. The committee chair extended the time limit from Aug. 7 to Oct. 18, 2026, and the agenda gives Oct. 16, 2026 as the last day for Council action (CF 26-0734-S1, agenda).

4. CGI contract for the Financial Management System

• What it does: Authorizes the Information Technology Agency to sign a sole-source personal services contract with CGI Technologies and Solutions Inc. for the Financial Management System, the software the City uses for financial data, debt management, performance budgeting, inventory, vendor self-service and procurement. The term is five years, July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031, with a five-year option, and spending authority of up to $78,192,332 over the full 10 years. The City Administrative Officer reports the City picked CGI through a 2008 request for proposals and that the new contract folds the maintenance agreement, which expired June 30, 2026, and the managed application support and hosting agreement, which expires Jan. 31, 2027, into one software-as-a-service agreement. The perpetual license agreement would end, with its remaining value credited toward converting 50 reports to a new reporting system before the old one is discontinued by Jan. 1, 2028. The contract includes a ratification clause for work CGI does before signing. The CAO found under Charter Section 1022 that City employees cannot feasibly service the proprietary system (CAO report).
• Money: Up to $78,192,332 over 10 years: $23.9 million for consulting, $47.3 million for software as a service and a $7.0 million contingency. The CAO reports the 2026-27 budget funds it in ITA’s contractual services account with no added General Fund impact (committee report).
• Committee vote: The Arts, Parks, and City Facilities Committee approved it 2-0 on Oct. 7, with Monica Rodriguez and Adrin Nazarian voting yes and Katy Yaroslavsky absent (committee report).
• What’s next: Nov. 2, 2026 is the last day for Council action. The Mayor’s transmittal says the contract is deemed approved if the Council does not act within 60 days of receipt, under Administrative Code Section 10.5(a) (CAO report, CF 26-1265).

7. Support for AB 1569, e-bike safety training in schools

• What it does: Adds to the City’s 2025-26 state legislative program support for AB 1569 (Davies and Chen), which would require the California Department of Education to develop a standardized e-bike safety and training program for pupils in grades 7 to 12, and urges the Governor to sign it. The committee report says the resolution cites a July 2026 UC San Diego study that counted two reported e-bike collisions in California in 2018 and 1,506 in 2024, and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles emergency room visits for e-bike injuries that rose from six in 2023 to 34 in 2025 (committee report).
• Who brought it: John S. Lee, seconded by Heather Hutt, in an Aug. 25, 2026 resolution (CF 25-0002-S133).
• Money: The Chief Legislative Analyst submitted no fiscal impact statement and the City Administrative Officer has not completed a financial analysis (agenda).
• Committee vote: The Rules, Elections and Intergovernmental Relations Committee approved it 2-0 on Oct. 2, with Marqueece Harris-Dawson and Hugo Soto-Martínez voting yes and Lee absent (committee report).

8. Support for AB 2635, zero-emission equipment vouchers

• What it does: Adds to the City’s 2025-26 state legislative program support for AB 2635 (Rodriguez), which would require large and medium air districts, and small rural districts or local governments, to offer commercial vouchers for zero-emission small off-road equipment to the extent the state appropriates funding. The committee report says the resolution points to the City’s small-business and immigrant landscapers, whose livelihoods depend on the pace and cost of the state’s zero-emission equipment transition (committee report).
• Who brought it: Eunisses Hernandez, seconded by Imelda Padilla, in a Sept. 11, 2026 resolution; the agenda lists the document as “Resolution (Hernandez - Hutt for Padilla)” (CF 25-0002-S142, agenda).
• Money: The Chief Legislative Analyst submitted no fiscal impact statement and the City Administrative Officer has not completed a financial analysis (agenda).
• Committee vote: The Rules, Elections and Intergovernmental Relations Committee approved it 2-0 on Oct. 2, with Harris-Dawson and Soto-Martínez voting yes and Lee absent (committee report).
• Records differ: The committee report’s heading and recommendation concern AB 2635, but its summary paragraph opens by referring to “AB 2465” and private detention facilities before describing the landscaping resolution (committee report).

9. Measure A work plans for Lake Balboa Edge and Whitsett soccer fields

• What it does: Authorizes the Department of Recreation and Parks to submit work plans to the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District under the Measure A Category 1 and 2 annual allocation grant programs for the Lake Balboa Edge and Whitsett Fields soccer fields design projects, to accept the funds if awarded, and to set up accounts in the Measure A Projects and Programs Fund for about $4,630,000. The Proposition K - L.A. for Kids Steering Committee approved the department’s report on Aug. 27, 2026 (committee report, steering committee transmittal).
• Money: About $4,630,000 in County Measure A grants. The steering committee reports no anticipated General Fund impact because Measure A grants do not require matching funds (committee report).
• Who it affects: Council Districts 2 and 6 (CF 26-1216).
• Committee vote: The Arts, Parks, and City Facilities Committee approved it 3-0 on Sept. 16, with Monica Rodriguez, Adrin Nazarian and Katy Yaroslavsky voting yes. The Budget and Finance Committee concurred 4-0 on Oct. 6, with Bob Blumenfield, Heather Hutt, Tim McOsker and Eunisses Hernandez voting yes and Yaroslavsky absent (committee report).

10. American Rescue Plan Act closeout

• What it does: Moves leftover ARPA money into eligible staff costs before the grant’s spending deadline. The City Administrative Officer reports the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund gave the City about $1.278 billion, all of which must be spent by Dec. 31, 2026, and that $1.275 billion had been spent as of June 30, 2026. Working with the Community Investment Department, the Bureau of Street Lighting and the City’s consultant KPMG, the CAO found savings in four finished projects and recommends reclassifying them to pay project management staff who have worked on ARPA programs since the start, as federal rules allow through Dec. 31, 2026. A separate $28,622.86 left over from the Comeback Checks small business program was never committed to the federal grant and would go back to the Reserve Fund (CAO report).
• Who brought it: The file began as a Feb. 24, 2023 motion by Bob Blumenfield, seconded by John S. Lee, Traci Park and Nithya Raman, on ARPA program status; the Council adopted it 11-0 on March 24, 2023 (CF 23-0211).
• Money: The CAO’s Sept. 15 report proposed reallocating $96,219.45. An Oct. 6 amendment, accepted in committee by Blumenfield and seconded by Tim McOsker, raised the total to $130,219.42 by increasing the transfer from the JEDI Zone business assistance account to $91,231.92. The result is $93,138.92 for Community Investment Department salaries and $37,080.53 from the Digital Inclusion Fund for Bureau of Street Lighting salaries, plus the $28,622.86 reversion to the Reserve Fund. The CAO reports no General Fund impact (committee report, CAO amendment).
• Committee vote: The Budget and Finance Committee approved the report as amended 4-0 on Oct. 6, with Blumenfield, Heather Hutt, McOsker and Eunisses Hernandez voting yes and Katy Yaroslavsky absent (committee report).

11. Fire Department sworn overtime transfer

• What it does: Asks the Controller to move $20 million within the Fire Department’s budget to its sworn overtime account to cover a projected deficit: $10 million from sworn salaries and $10 million from the constant staffing overtime account. The committee report attributes the overspending to wildfire deployments outside the City and pre-positioning, whose costs are recovered; member recalls; and fire prevention safety watch at special events, also cost recovered. It says the department made 17 deployments during the July and August 2026 brush season that are reimbursable by the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, CAL FIRE and other agencies, and that it uses member recalls as an emergency staffing measure to limit resource closures across its 106 stations because of staffing shortages (committee report).
• Who brought it: John S. Lee, seconded by Katy Yaroslavsky, in a Sept. 15, 2026 motion (CF 26-1323).
• Money: $20 million, all within Fund 100/38, the Fire Department’s budget. Neither the City Administrative Officer nor the Chief Legislative Analyst has completed a financial analysis (committee report).
• Committee vote: The Budget and Finance Committee approved it 4-0 on Oct. 6, with Bob Blumenfield, Heather Hutt, Tim McOsker and Eunisses Hernandez voting yes and Yaroslavsky absent (committee report).

14. 2026-27 Statement of Investment Policy

• What it does: Notes and files the Office of Finance’s annual Statement of Investment Policy, effective July 1, 2026. City Treasurer Diana Mangioglu’s June 5, 2026 letter says Administrative Code Section 20.90 requires the annual statement and that, after a review of the California Government Code, no changes to the policy were necessary. The policy ranks the City’s investment objectives as safety of principal first, liquidity second and return third, and says the General Pool is made up of three portfolios: Core, Reserve and Extended Reserve (Office of Finance report).
• Committee vote: The Budget and Finance Committee voted 4-0 on Oct. 6 to note and file the report, with Bob Blumenfield, Heather Hutt, Tim McOsker and Eunisses Hernandez voting yes and Katy Yaroslavsky absent (committee report).

17. Pacific Palisades emergency repairs before El Nino rains

• What it does: Moves $596,000 from the Posetano Road (17470) Emergency Road Repair account and $13,944.95 from the Posetano Road (17570) Emergency Debris Removal Project account, both in the SB 1 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Special Fund, into a new Capital Improvement Expenditure Program account called “Pacific Palisades El Nino Emergency Repairs.” The money would pay for emergency repairs ahead of forecast El Nino rainfall, including removing what remains of a concrete staircase near 17570 Posetano Road. The Bureau of Engineering and City Administrative Officer could correct the fund instructions (motion).
• Who brought it: Traci Park, seconded by Eunisses Hernandez, in an Oct. 7, 2026 motion (CF 26-0278). The file began with a Feb. 25, 2026 special motion by Park after a Feb. 19, 2026 rainstorm saturated a hillside above Posetano Road. The Bureau of Engineering found on Feb. 23 that the slope was still moving and that a crumbled cement stairway and debris were in danger of falling onto the road. That motion created the Posetano Road (17570) Emergency Debris Removal project with $174,944.95 in SB 1 funds; the Council adopted it the same day and the action became final on March 9, 2026 (Feb. 25 motion, CF 26-0278).
• Money: $609,944.95 in total, our sum of the two transfers in the motion, all from the SB 1 state gas tax fund. The agenda lists no fiscal impact statement (motion, agenda).
• Who it affects: Pacific Palisades, in Park’s Council District 11 (motion).

18. 2026 Winter Recess dates

• What it does: Amends the Council’s Dec. 9, 2025 action on the 2026 recess schedule so the Winter Recess runs Wednesday, Dec. 16 through Wednesday, Dec. 30, 2026 (motion).
• Who brought it: Marqueece Harris-Dawson, seconded by Bob Blumenfield, in an Oct. 7, 2026 motion (CF 26-0001). The Council adopted the original 2026 schedule, a Chief Legislative Analyst report amended by a Nazarian - Harris-Dawson motion that added Eid al-Fitr and Nowruz on March 20, 2026, by a 15-0 vote on Dec. 9, 2025 (Council action, CF 26-0001).

19. Urban Forestry funding from Council District 15

• What it does: Moves $100,000 from Council District 15’s share of the Street Furniture Revenue Fund to the Bureau of Street Services’ Urban Forestry Division: $80,000 for overtime salaries and $20,000 for contractual services (motion).
• Who brought it: Tim McOsker, seconded by John S. Lee, in an Oct. 7, 2026 motion sent straight to the Council under Rule 16 (CF 26-0011-S19).
• Money: $100,000 from the Street Furniture Revenue Fund. The agenda lists no fiscal impact statement (agenda).
