Councilmember Rita (recorded as miss Perry in transcript) described the item as time-sensitive; the council approved the recommendation (vote recorded 13 ayes) and forwarded the matter for immediate processing.

- Item 37 (parks/recreation directive): As amended on the floor, the council extended the timeline for a department report from 30 to 90 days to allow the Department of Recreation and Parks additional time to develop an implementation strategy. The motion passed 14-0.

Several other routine consent and continuation items were acted upon during the session; these included approvals for items for which public hearings had been held and other procedural votes recorded on the transcript.

ffordable Housing Trust Fund and to require a written report back to the City Council in 90 days.

Councilmember Eric Garcetti described the decision as a step to focus the study on an inclusionary zoning approach — measures that would require a percentage of new market-rate housing to be affordable or, alternately, allow developers to pay an in-lieu fee. Garcetti said the council is postponing a separate linkage-fee study at the mayor
nd mayor\fommittee\fan pursue that work in parallel.

Councilmember Rudy Reyes moved for the 90-day report-back on the inclusionary zoning study. Colleagues debated scope and enforcement issues, including whether requirements should include replacement of affordable units lost to conversions and the geographical radius for replacement units.

Councilmember (surname recorded in transcript as) Brits urged that any program include mechanisms to preserve existing affordable units and avoid displacement of residents. Several council members said they want planning and housing policy language to be coordinated so the land-use and housing tools would operate together.

After debate, the council approved the motion and related amendments (vote recorded 14 ayes). The vote instructs the housing department, planning staff and related city offices to return within 90 days with a report that lays out inclusionary zoning options, potential in-lieu fee levels, and how such requirements could be linked to the city
ffordable Housing Trust Fund.","The council asked staff to advance a study of inclusionary zoning and related funding mechanisms for the city\nnd to report back in 90 days, focusing on how an inclusionary requirement or in-lieu fees might fund affordable housing.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6573458,"Los Angeles City Council urges federal action to standardize airport screening, backs federalized screeners",1958,5838000,7796000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3180624-6341978f0c74cb11a47c3065f9102080&start=5838&end=7796","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3180624-6341978f0c74cb11a47c3065f9102080/thumbnail_5838000.jpg","/articles/6573458/Los-Angeles-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Los-Angeles-City-Council-urges-federal-action-to-standardize-airport-screening-backs-federalized-screeners","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6573458-b5f835366882720299ca9a1a3c129e55/orig.mp4?Expires=1771199986&Signature=N-B-1xZLZnLlGg04n1vx4PqcgU0qcsvPja6SW3lOpoQiHWEH9AFJMnZN~7xuowAMzgYGBfJjFIHuh9IVZQYjGZOjnmmw2JxHQlc3u301ISdTvlq7bWWJ9W4~X1WzqJuLHtuSBCKqPtTdJnxjkG0kFuEa-l6jY7BuuJKwB9IOpx9MAjdSHwcF1ox1O04ptGH1ceIl-gPSqASrC-hUClJWiVUoL2JGOBp6MLwB-KK20QDIbRtW2NtYa16ITbGJ5ZaKtQCQFbVy~5jijTH3SIMbmqzi7RkqIa2IWYG91JJN8WTQUvOkfBu6-Fkv1u19bwoIfbSaKrX9nQwtzq21nKMdUg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Los Angeles City Council on Nov. 2 voted to urge Congress and the White House to adopt federal standards for airport screening, including mandatory screening of all checked domestic baggage and federal oversight — up to federal employment — of passenger-screening personnel.

The measure, backed by Councilmember Richard Weiss and moved by Councilmember Nate Holden, says the council supports the Senate approach that would federalize screening personnel but also asks federal lawmakers to provide funding for security upgrades, including trials of facial-recognition and related technologies at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and for rapid deployment of federal checkpoint supervisors while longer-term changes are implemented.

The motion’s supporters said the vote was prompted by concerns about inconsistent screening standards under privately contracted screeners and by Congress’ split responses in the immediate aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. “We absolutely must have federal legislation that requires that all domestic checked baggage be screened prior to it being placed on airplanes,” Councilmember Richard Weiss told colleagues. Weiss also urged federal funding for technology pilots at LAX.

Councilmember Nate Holden, who made the motion on the floor, urged colleagues to press for the Senate’s federalization approach and said the city should be willing to accept federal costs or surcharges tied to any new federal employment model. “We cannot put dollars before safety,” Holden said during debate.

Councilmember Eric Garcetti and others said the city’s objective is to move forward quickly with measures that can be implemented before any full federalization is completed, urging interim steps such as placing federal checkpoint security supervisors at screening locations. Several council members and airport officials said even if Congress adopts a federalized model it will take months to recruit, screen and train employees, so federal supervisors under short-term deployment could provide earlier oversight.

Representatives from the City Legislative Analyst’s office and airport police briefed the council on differences between the House and Senate proposals then under consideration in Washington: the Senate text would make screeners federal employees; the House version would keep them employed via contract but with federal standards and oversight. City officials said a conference committee was expected to reconcile the bills.

After several hours of debate the council adopted the measure (vote recorded 13 ayes, 0 no, 1 member absent). The council asked the mayor’s office and the city’s federal advocates to deliver the city’s position to members of Congress and the White House and to press for both near-term federal supervision at checkpoints and eventual statutory changes to standardize screening nationally.

Supporters said the action was intended both to press for national standards and to give the city leverage to work with the airport commission and airlines to accelerate practical safety improvements at LAX. The measure directs the mayor’s office to transmit the council’s resolution to congressional leaders and the president.","The City Council voted to back federal legislation calling for screening of all checked baggage, federal oversight or federalization of passenger-screening workers and rapid deployment of federal checkpoint supervisors following the Sept. 11 attacks.","actionData","errors"]
