Councilmembers debated whether the funding request—presented as a Rule 16 motion without a companion committee report—should proceed ahead of a broader review of the special parking revenue fund. Councilmember Holden said he wanted a fuller accounting of the fund and asked whether the project was \"ready to go for a fact.\" City staff and supporters said land for the project had previously been acquired and the contract was ready to be awarded.

\"This project has previously been approved. The land for the project was already acquired ... the contract is ready to be awarded,\" a staff representative said in response to questions. Councilmember Bernsen described the structure as \"a very desperately needed facility\" and said the bonds would be revenue bonds repaid with parking revenues from Council District 5.

Opponents on the floor expressed concern that the motion fronted funds citywide and could shortchange other districts. Councilmember Holden said he would seek a detailed report on the special parking revenue fund before endorsing additional transfers. Holden said he would vote against the item as a procedural matter and pursue further scrutiny afterward.

Supporters said the financing is structured as revenue bonds and that the debt service would be paid from revenues generated by the CD5 meters and from the new garage. \"These are revenue bonds, not GO bonds,\" a council supporter said, arguing there would be no impact on other districts' balances.

The motion passed with the clerk’s tally given on the floor as \"11 ayes, 1 no.\" The council directed staff to proceed with the allocation so the contract award could move forward for the Studio City site; councilmembers also asked for a future comprehensive report on the status of the special parking revenue fund and the choice between cash-funding and bond-financing for multiple projects.","The council approved a motion to set aside $5.7 million from the city's parking revenue fund to enable a parking structure contract award in Council District 5 (Studio City).

The motion instructs the Departments of Building and Safety, Engineering and Planning, the Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA) and the Office of Administrative and Research Services to prepare the report and to \"use the scope and methodology of research and nature of mitigation described in the final CLA report on the Playa Vista site,\" the agenda item says.

The vote came after more than an hour of public comment in which speakers disputed whether the Playa Vista mitigation approach is appropriate citywide and whether existing standards protect nearby schools and neighborhoods. \"Some people probably will get hurt,\" said Greg Soetier, who identified himself as a teacher with Los Angeles Unified at Virgil Middle School. \"...there are very real dangers that cannot be mitigated properly with the current technology.\"

Other public commenters cited technical and health concerns about hydrogen sulfide and methane at Playa Vista and Belmont. George Bozzetti, who said he had spent considerable time on Belmont issues, told the council that mitigation at Belmont had been estimated to cost \"over a hundred million dollars,\" and warned of possible problems if mitigation relied on what he called unproven methods. Jeanette Vosberg and another commenter, Quincy, questioned the CLA report’s methodology and urged stricter oversight.

Councilmembers urged the departments to answer outstanding technical and accountability questions raised in public testimony. \"This is an urban environment and methane gas is a reality of that environment, and we have to mitigate it,\" Councilmember Hernandez said during the debate, urging action that preserves neighborhood services such as schools.

Councilmember Holden asked that unanswered questions from community speakers be compiled and delivered to him; Councilmember Bernsen said he supported the motion and characterized the item as broader than any single site, including other city projects such as the Sunshine Canyon reopening.

The motion carried on the council floor with an 11-0 tally recorded when the item was taken up. The action directs the specified departments to return within 45 days with recommendations that could establish citywide, uniform safety requirements for methane mitigation on future development projects.

The council did not adopt new technical standards immediately; the vote authorized staff work and a report back. Several speakers and councilmembers said they intend to follow up with specific questions and requests for documentation from the CLA and the departments as those recommendations are developed.","The Los Angeles City Council voted to instruct multiple city departments to draft uniform methane safety requirements for future development, following public testimony focused on Playa Vista and the Belmont Learning Center.","actionData","errors"]
