Councilmember Rodolfo Sborinch (item sponsor) moved the action and the council amended the authorization to permit an additional $2,000,866 (for a total of $13,000,866) contingent on two conditions: (1) the City Fire Department accepts the findings of an ongoing port fire services study and (2) the state boating-and-waterways funds are allowed to be used for a fireboat station or related fire-station build-out.

The speaker presenting the communication told the council the harbor department previously delayed the marina project and that a related fire-station build-out near the marina remained unresolved. He asked the council to make the additional $2 million contingent upon the fire services study’s findings and a determination that the state loan funds can be applied to a fire-station purpose. The council instructed staff to report back to the Commerce Committee and the Public Safety Committee once the fire services study is complete and the harbor department has a determination from the state about eligible uses.

The council asked the city attorney and staff to confirm that the council could authorize the borrowing in this manner; city attorneys confirmed council authority under the charter. Council approved the amended authorization by roll call (12 ayes). The action was noted as subject to the mayor’s approval.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Regular City Council - 07/28/00","oneSentenceSummary","The City Council authorized a state loan for Phase 2 of the Cabrillo Marina and added a $2 million contingency for a nearby fire-station build-out pending a fire services study and confirmation that state boating funds may be used for that purpose.","taxTitle","Los Angeles City, Los Angeles County, California","taxId",4025,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6506318,"City council reconsiders LAX operating permits and orders payroll and monitoring steps for Terminal 2 workers",1017,4687000,5704000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5784178-658bcff5dce9ddb2e2df4a9d26907664&start=4687&end=5704","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5784178-658bcff5dce9ddb2e2df4a9d26907664/thumbnail_4687000.jpg","/articles/6506318/Los-Angeles-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/City-council-reconsiders-LAX-operating-permits-and-orders-payroll-and-monitoring-steps-for-Terminal-2-workers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6506318-9e213644299eeedc12f6b38a6fa33352/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448505&Signature=hoOYpWlaBY7VwMpecXlhVwLUxc~cl~siqGRTOBxhN1KT3mNFCPKeacpdbupvxNrM1CpepGW7AxOS1f29L1xSncPuY3SrjwXKMnVZNVOWhxWPg2Kmw6SXVCzhedXpnA6oQA1rKfGpRNGE2r0jUsSEDVkV0nB1pUDviiQ~rLD-Ya5DED~XrfTETN8Iud2W6kQycRhFHtaJxlqLcuE8At3Ts5InLCSV5IdthJUiMgp9nsZ6nxWudZp1~0b3f~XSqqjZ5MfPvAZJt0vG3x9PVCPbJSk5QJa7Fki-jtarAApx2BNDBzS6v0~W6jvLZjCQuoPTXT4f33Q3O434yO84VZGmzQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Los Angeles City Council unanimously approved operating permits for Los Angeles International Airport terminals on July 28 and directed Northwest Airlines, Aviation Safeguard (contractor) and the Department of Airports to take steps to return Terminal 2 workers to payroll and to monitor compliance.

Councilmember Cindy Goldberg moved and Councilmember Joel Feuer seconded reconsideration of the operating-permit vote and brought forward a package of commitments negotiated at the hearing. The council approved a motion that (1) requires Northwest Airlines to ensure Aviation Safeguard immediately contact and notify displaced Terminal 2 workers of required documentation and deadlines; (2) requires that the first group of workers already in training (described in the hearing as roughly 59 of 147 eligible Terminal 2 workers) be placed on payroll no later than Aug. 2, 2000, provided they pass background checks and drug tests; (3) requires that the remaining eligible workers who present required documents be placed on payroll no later than one week after they deliver the documentation; and (4) directs the Department of Airports to monitor compliance and report monthly to the council until the matter is resolved. The motion passed unanimously (13–0).

Testimony at council included Alan Steinbrecher, representing Northwest Airlines, who outlined the carrier’s staffing timetable: a first cohort of about 23 employees had begun training and the carrier expected 13 of those to be issued badges and uniforms imminently and to start employment the following Monday; an additional 36 employees were in background checks and expected to begin training the next week. Steinbrecher said the company’s proposal would make pay retroactive to employees’ first day of training or to Aug. 4, whichever came first.

Union and worker representatives asked for firmer guarantees and faster timelines. Mary Anne Hohenstein, organizing director for SEIU Local 1877, told the council that some employees were told their training would be unpaid (which SEIU said would violate California labor law) and pressed for guarantees that training be paid in full and that the remaining cohort be on payroll no later than Aug. 2. Worker speakers — including Danisha Robinson, Norma Torres and Tommy Wugler — described financial hardship after 5½ weeks out of work and urged immediate rehiring.

Councilmember Goldberg’s motion included three enforcement elements the council required: immediate outreach by Northwest/Aviation Safeguard, guaranteed payroll dates for the first cohort (no later than Aug. 2) and payroll for the remaining eligible workers within one week of submitting required documentation. Councilmember Feuer asked the Department of Airports to provide monthly status reports until the council lifts monitoring. The council adopted the motion by a 13–0 roll call.

Council members also discussed how the worker-retention rules apply to a small group of former Argenbright employees who the contractor says were hired at other terminals; the city’s retention ordinance and advocates’ interpretation would make those workers eligible to return to Terminal 2 based on prior seniority. The council expressed frustration with the pace of rehiring and directed stringent monitoring and reporting by the Department of Airports.

The council set the reconsidered operating-permit approval in motion as a local enforcement step tied to worker-retention commitments and oversight rather than as a change to the underlying rules for contractor selection.","After a reconsideration motion, the Los Angeles City Council unanimously approved operating permits at LAX and directed Northwest Airlines and the Department of Airports to ensure hundreds of Terminal 2 workers are rehired and put on payroll on specified timelines, with monthly monitoring.",{"_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},6506323,"Council honors pilot sentenced-offender drug court and its graduates",331,3189000,3520000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5784178-658bcff5dce9ddb2e2df4a9d26907664&start=3189&end=3520","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5784178-658bcff5dce9ddb2e2df4a9d26907664/thumbnail_3189000.jpg","/articles/6506323/Los-Angeles-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Council-honors-pilot-sentenced-offender-drug-court-and-its-graduates","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6506323-cf0b5366aad0eafc17405acc69ca5cd2/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448505&Signature=gCefAhjeiUPlq9ZKGIm8MFEVzQUd-JbD0dA7DdN9KWxVU59egVTBZVDnMdUzbJouJjl~3aaJ-xKsdaAKxzoEewCYWLnygGVN2Kj8rNfaVv42bUb35fE55uP77w0JNttZ1VGNC09~ZyRDqXI6SXjS0ykhG053RnO3js3NLWl55ejZ7ZheUXNkq6K6vRM6sKjr~nnmNRVggVY4IC0hm0J04aFDyUHdf1o4wifqQTGSlF9iiO1eZ-9CZM-~NNTXeDu4BgPEKehvtBd8Ovk2bAoB7gL6IB2sPB63oA9y4uOcqiJPbIXrrwgD7iFpzqnDK6KJNFZGmVWVtGFE0EKxq-Q5BQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Los Angeles City Council on July 28 recognized the city’s experimental sentenced-offender drug court program and presented certificates to judges and treatment partners who ran the program.

Councilmember Joel Feuer introduced Judge Mike Tynan and James Stilwell, executive director of the Impact Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center, and invited program graduates to the chamber. Feuer said the program represents a different approach in criminal justice: instead of imprisonment for certain nonviolent drug offenders, the court offers close supervision, treatment and a team-based, nonadversarial model designed to support recovery and reintegration.

Officials described the sentenced-offender drug court as an 18-month intensive recovery program that pairs judicial oversight with probation, treatment counselors and supportive services. Judge Mike Tynan, who helped found the drug court program, and Stilwell accepted council commendations and thanked the council for support. Several graduates were introduced and recognized during the presentation.

Councilmembers who spoke during the recognition emphasized the program’s role in reducing recidivism and expanding treatment alternatives. Councilmember Antonio Hernandez noted that the city contributed $50,000 from a criminal justice block grant two years earlier to support drug court efforts and urged continued financial partnership with the county to sustain and expand the program.

No formal council action or funding decision was taken at the ceremony; the session served as public recognition and a progress update.","Los Angeles City Council recognized a new sentenced-offender drug court program and its first graduates, highlighting an 18-month treatment alternative aimed at nonviolent felony drug offenders.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6506328,"Los Angeles marks 10th anniversary of Americans with Disabilities Act, leaders warn progress remains unfinished",904,1474000,2378000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5784178-658bcff5dce9ddb2e2df4a9d26907664&start=1474&end=2378","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5784178-658bcff5dce9ddb2e2df4a9d26907664/thumbnail_1474000.jpg","/articles/6506328/Los-Angeles-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Los-Angeles-marks-10th-anniversary-of-Americans-with-Disabilities-Act-leaders-warn-progress-remains-unfinished","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6506328-d81705d1af8f307b5a097d2484109ed1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448505&Signature=fOTXQ3rILvMVuBwIPN~6RjIRXUfmLqoIWM0QynmhCbYQ69dTfbjaAcOR3LIQPsqNTMMG5XJBVfqVPiczjVkylSHcRd2goYZYZ5Bx6gBoJYYdkMxRtzT8Fy8vGQQQi6sTHNnpHssNfRBN8Jwa57kK4ScFpnbf5JOEd7hy8lfM1xdA~aAAd0~aruJGXgSMdgprsD4dSjjBzVUPlZf~zxKjHCgLZD-jRzNs7QyK-UkcbikAMpPcme0G0iubVnQtHqFQ-f1rLOjvoiFNTVoDUVEpfKsalRyEX6ANPGJAoCDkzlk6MwAOOEeocAw~WL4He14L8MQxMfXLesH7V6WiS5TYbQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mayor Richard Riordan and disability advocates marked the 10th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act at the Los Angeles City Council chamber on July 28, 2000, praising local gains while warning that significant barriers remain.

At the ceremony, Riordan said Los Angeles has been “ahead of the game,” noting the city created an early Department on Disability and other measures to expand access and civic participation. Sharon Morris, director of the Department on Disability, thanked activists and city departments that have worked on the city’s ADA transition plan, and she recognized partnering agencies including the Bureau of Engineering, Street Services, Building and Safety, Recreation and Parks, Sanitation and the Human Relations Commission.

Eva (Eve) Hill, head of the Western Law Center for Disability Rights, gave the event’s keynote, tracing disability-rights advocacy through sit-ins, protests and legislation. Hill highlighted persistent gaps in education and employment cited in the meeting: she said about 32 percent of people with disabilities do not graduate high school, roughly one-third of people with disabilities are employed compared with 81 percent of people without disabilities, and about 29 percent live in poverty versus roughly 10 percent for people without disabilities.

Hill and other speakers warned of a legal and political backlash. They noted recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions and federal proposals that could narrow protections or add procedural hurdles for people seeking to enforce access rights. Hill urged ongoing vigilance, including better media portrayals and continued legal advocacy.

Council members and commissioners joined the recognition. The council presented certificates to the Department on Disability and the Department of Human Relations; Sharon Morris and representatives of the Human Relations Commission and disability advocacy groups took part in a ceremonial photograph. The mayor and several council members also noted upcoming local accessibility projects, including the city’s first “boundless playground” scheduled in Griffith Park.

The presentations included repeated appeals from advocates that the city continue to press for curb-cut completion, improved access in schools, and stronger enforcement and public education about disability rights.

A certificate presentation and an elected-official pledge effort — a “Spirit of ADA” pledge being circulated to council members — concluded the commemoration portion of the meeting.","Mayor Richard Riordan, city Disability Department leaders and disability-rights advocates marked the 10th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act with recognition of local progress and calls to address remaining barriers in schools, employment and courts.","actionData","errors"]
