Committee approves ADU Accelerator contract extension and accepts construction and safety report

The Los Angeles Housing Committee recorded two formal actions during the meeting.

Extension of ADU Accelerator contract (Item 2): The committee approved a motion to modify and extend the contract between the city and 1 Generation for the ADU Accelerator program and to add funding to continue the program. The modification as read into the record changed the motion language to authorize the designated general manager to restore the original contract terms and to execute an amendment to add approximately $400,000 to the project and extend the contract two years through February 2027. A committee member announced the additional money would come from the member's discretionary funds rather than the general fund. The modification was seconded and, after no further questions, the committee voted to approve the motion with the modification. The committee reported the motion passed with three votes in favor and two members absent (Jurado and Price); the motion text and the added $400,000 were read into the record during the meeting.

Acceptance and registration of the Construction and Safety report (Item 3): The committee also voted to accept and file a construction and safety report (described in the meeting as the report of "construcción y seguridad"). A roll call was taken for that item; the minute entries show the committee accepted and registered the report with three votes in favor and two members absent (Jurado and Price).

Why it matters: The contract extension preserves an existing ADU assistance program that helps applicants complete accessory dwelling units and includes additional funding and a two-year extension to maintain program operations. Acceptance of the construction and safety report places that item on record with the committee and advances routine oversight functions.

Record of action and votes (as stated in the meeting): - Item 2 (ADU Accelerator contract amendment and extension): Motion to modify and authorize amendment to add ~$400,000 and extend contract to Feb. 2027; seconded; outcome: approved (3–0; Jurado and Price absent). Funding for the added amount was identified as discretionary funds by a committee member during the meeting. - Item 3 (Construction and Safety report): Motion to accept and register the report; outcome: approved (3–0; Jurado and Price absent).

The meeting minutes presented the approvals as carried by a three‑vote majority and recorded the two absences. The committee did not provide a detailed roll-call listing of yes/no votes by individual for each item beyond the attendance notation in the minutes.

Ending — procedural note: Committee staff said there were no further questions on the items and the meeting moved on to the ULA update and other agenda matters.
