The Trade, Travel and Tourism Committee voted to receive and file the report.

LAWA officials said the single biggest lesson from recent projects was the need for effective memoranda of understanding (MOUs) with sister city departments. Mike Christiansen, LAWA airport development officer, said LAWA’s 2017 MOU had gaps that contributed to delays and additional costs; the agencies have produced a revised MOU and have implemented many of its provisions while continuing to refine it. Jake Adams, LAWA deputy executive director, said the updated MOU aligns city approval processes to a wider array of delivery methods — including progressive design-build and construction management at-risk — and builds in iterative design approvals and “over-the-shoulder” reviews so designers and city reviewers resolve comments together in real time.

The report highlighted three principal changes: clearer, project-specific requirements and permit expectations stated up front; iterative review processes that allow accelerated construction reliance on 30/60/90% designs; and deeper interagency collaboration, including co-location of staff, partnering sessions with contractors and an executive oversight committee to escalate unresolved issues. LAWA reported that the revised approach contributed to approving an AT&T roadway package on consent during the same meeting and that most permit packages for an ongoing program were expected to reach 90% by year-end.

LAWA officials also urged more comprehensive pre-bid site investigations (potholing, ground-penetrating radar) and clearer, less-ambiguous contract language to limit claims. To keep work moving during disputes, the report recommends informal dispute resolution forums (an IDR) and the use of force-account directives (also described as unilateral change orders or time-and-material provisions) to permit contractors to continue work while a disagreement is resolved.

When asked about future use of public–private partnerships, LAWA said it is not planning additional P3s in the near term because current capital projects lack the operate-and-maintain components that made prior P3s appropriate. Officials said the Department of Water and Power’s board approved the revised MOU during the same day, and LAWA confirmed it funds full-time equivalent staff in some city agencies to maintain project continuity.

The appointment was moved by Councilwoman Tracy Park and approved on a 2-0 voice roll call, with Council member Rodriguez absent.

Chin told the committee she is a studio entertainment marketing professional turned chef who has lived in Los Angeles about 35 years and runs a catering business, Walk Star Catering. “It’s such an honor to be here today,” she said, describing work at Walt Disney Company, Universal Studios and catering at local venues. Chin said she aims to use food-focused programming and festivals to draw visitors to underexposed ethnic neighborhoods and to give smaller restaurateurs broader visibility.

The committee members praised Chin’s mix of production and events experience and said culinary programming could be a tourism draw as Los Angeles prepares for a string of major events, including the World Cup, Super Bowl and the upcoming Olympics and Paralympics. Councilwoman Park said food “is a great reason to travel” and Chair and Council member McCosker echoed support for bringing more neighborhood-level offerings into the city’s tourism portfolio.

Public commenters raised safety concerns in downtown Los Angeles during the same meeting, linking the city’s safety record to tourism expectations. William Good Duarte urged the committee to prioritize public safety, saying, “there’s nothing more important than safety,” and recounting an earlier midday attack on a senior in a wheelchair. Another commenter, James Wang, said recent robberies prompted concern about how visitors will perceive the city during major events. Those comments were part of a longer public-comment period before item 2 was considered.

The clerk recorded the roll: Park — yes; McCosker — yes; Rodriguez — absent. The item was approved on consent and Chin is expected to take the seat on the Board of City Tourism Commissioners for the term indicated.

The committee did not take additional action beyond the confirmation vote and did not specify committee assignments or immediate projects for Chin.","The Trade, Travel and Tourism Committee approved the mayor’s appointment of Katie Chin to the Board of City Tourism Commissioners for a term ending June 30, 2026, after a brief discussion of her background and public safety concerns raised during public comment.","actionData","errors"]
