Full summary

This file approves a supplemental grant agreement and performance period extension for the Los Angeles Fire Department's partnership with the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services on swift water and flood search-and-rescue training. The specific instrument is Standard Agreement No. A231012696-A1, an amendment that adds $135,960 in Cal OES funding and extends the performance period through June 30, 2026, covering work dating back to March 1, 2024. The Council authorized the Fire Chief to accept the amended agreement and directed the Fire Department to front-fund up to $135,960 from its General Fund accounts, covering sworn salaries, overtime, variable staffing, travel expenses, and operating supplies such as consumables and student certification fees. Cal OES will fully reimburse those expenditures upon submission of eligible costs, meaning there is no net impact to the City's General Fund. The Controller is authorized to transfer the reimbursed funds back to the originating Fire Department accounts once proper documentation is submitted. The City Administrative Officer's report, dated March 9, 2026, was transmitted by the Mayor and referred to the Public Safety Committee. The committee approved the recommendations on April 22, 2026, with members Lee, Price, and Soto-Martinez voting yes and McOsker and Park absent. The full Council adopted the item on May 5, 2026, by a vote of 14-0-1, subject to reconsideration under Council Rule 51. The file was transmitted to the Mayor on May 6, 2026, with a deadline for mayoral action of May 18, 2026. The file remains open pending that final signature.
