8.a. CERT training for board members (CF 26-0906-S4)

• What it asks: Reconsider the board’s Aug. 10 action on CF 26-0906-S4 (agenda). The Aug. 10 agenda carried two committee motions on the file: support from the Public Safety Committee and “against, unless amended” from the Government Affairs Committee. The Aug. 10 minutes record that the board passed the Public Safety Committee’s supporting motion 11-0 with one abstention, with an amendment striking the word “requirement”, and record no vote on the Government Affairs Committee’s motion.
• What happened: The board voted 9-0 to support the file. Its statement says the City should evaluate a standardized CERT certification for a majority of neighborhood council board members and backs a DONE and LAFD report on making the certification more available, including remote training; it was filed Sept. 15 (CIS).

10.a. Missing Middle ordinance

• What it asks: Ask that any City density incentives beyond state law allow no more than three ADUs per property and require 25% deep-soil open space, 15-foot front and rear setbacks and objective design standards, with no mobile or tiny homes, and that City Planning illustrate proposals to scale in neighborhood context (agenda). An earlier version of the motion was on the Aug. 10 agenda.
• Who brought it: A floor motion from the PLUM and Vision committees’ report (agenda).

11. Letter to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles

• What it asks: A letter to CHLA’s chief executive, joining Silver Lake Neighborhood Council and Protect Trans Youth LA, asking the hospital to reopen its Center for Transyouth Health and Development. The draft says the center closed July 22, 2025, ending care for nearly 3,000 patients, and cites a May 18, 2026 Colorado Supreme Court decision (agenda).
• Who brought it: A floor motion (agenda).
