• What it asks: Discussion and possible action on CF 25-0002-S137. The agenda describes the rule as a U.S. Forest Service regulation, effective March 13, 2001, that prohibits road construction, road reconstruction and most timber harvesting on 58.5 million acres of inventoried roadless areas in National Forest System lands (agenda).
• What the file does: The resolution adds opposition to the Forest Service’s proposed rescission of the rule to the City’s 2025-26 federal legislative program.
• Who brought it: Councilmember John Lee, seconded by Councilmember Traci Park (CF 25-0002-S137).
• Where the file stands: The Council adopted the resolution 14-0 on Sept. 15, 2026, with Imelda Padilla absent, and the file lists Council action as final on Sept. 28, 2026 (CF 25-0002-S137).

6. Illegal dumping enforcement and funding (CF 26-1351)

• What it asks: Discussion and possible action on CF 26-1351. The file is titled “Illegal Dumping Enforcement / Funding Allocation FY 2026-27 / Stategy of Abatement, Prevention and Enforcement / Citywide Inventory of Chronic Illegal Hotspots / System for Updating / Options for Updating Penalties.” The agenda stated no position (agenda).
• Who brought it: Councilmembers Imelda Padilla and Marqueece Harris-Dawson, seconded by Councilmember Curren D. Price Jr., in a Sept. 22, 2026 motion (CF 26-1351).
• Where the file stands: The Council’s Public Safety Committee approved the motion on Oct. 6, 2026. As of Oct. 15, 2026, the file lists no committee report, no vote tally and no Community Impact Statements, and the motion is still referred to the Energy and Environment and Public Works committees (CF 26-1351).

7. Transportation Commission’s role over City parking lots approved for housing (CF 26-1354)

• What it asks: Discussion and possible action on CF 26-1354. The agenda stated no position (agenda).
• What the file does: The committee report asks the City Attorney to draft an ordinance so the Board of Transportation Commissioners’ advisory duties over City off-street parking exclude sites the Council and Mayor have approved for temporary or permanent housing or homeless programs. The Los Angeles Housing Department would control City-owned property approved for affordable housing, and LADOT would keep maintaining a site until a ground lease is signed and 30 days’ notice is given. It also instructs the City Administrative Officer to update the Asset Evaluation Framework (CF 12-1549-S3) to remove the board from those approvals.
• Who brought it: Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez, seconded by Councilmember Ysabel Jurado (CF 26-1354). The motion says the board’s advisory role has let it overturn or delay Exclusive Negotiation Agreements and Disposition and Development Agreements for affordable housing on City land that the Council and Mayor had approved.
• Money: Neither the City Administrative Officer nor the Chief Legislative Analyst has done a financial analysis (committee report).
• Where the file stands: The Council’s Transportation Committee recommended approval 5-0 on Oct. 7, 2026 (committee report). On Oct. 16, 2026, four days before this meeting, the Council adopted the item as amended by Amending Motion 7A (Hernandez, Monica Rodriguez), 10-1, subject to reconsideration. Traci Park voted no.
