Brief

Full summary

This Council file seeks City Council approval of a third amendment to Subrecipient Agreement No. 20-3723 between the Port of Los Angeles and West Basin Container Terminal and Wave Wireless Charging, LLC — the operating entity behind the Advanced Infrastructure Demonstration Project, which tests wireless charging technology for vehicles at or near the port. The Board of Harbor Commissioners submitted the amendment under Port of Los Angeles Resolution No. 26-10737 and confirmed there is no impact to the City General Fund. The Board's recommendations to Council are twofold: first, to find that the Director of Environmental Management has determined the action is administratively exempt from CEQA review under Article II Section 2(f) of the City's CEQA Guidelines; and second, to formally approve the resolution authorizing the third amendment. The source documents do not detail the specific changes made in this amendment — such as budget adjustments, timeline extensions, or scope modifications — but the fact that this is the third amendment indicates an ongoing, iterative project relationship since the original agreement was executed in 2020. The Board of Harbor Commissioners, chaired by President Lucille Roybal-Allard and operating under Executive Director Eugene D. Seroka, transmitted the resolution to the City Council on June 11, 2026. The file sits in Council District 15, which encompasses the San Pedro waterfront and port facilities. It was referred to the Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee the following day and remains pending there. Councilwoman Park chairs that committee, and Councilmembers McOsker and Rodriguez are also copied on the transmittal. No committee hearing has been scheduled as of the last recorded activity, and the file expires June 11, 2028.
