Full summary

In April 2026, Councilmember Tim McOsker introduced a motion to authorize a street banner campaign coordinated by the Los Angeles Harbor Department, with Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez seconding. The stated purpose of the campaign is to beautify streets near the Port of Los Angeles. Under Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 62.132, the program was designated a City of Los Angeles Non-Event Street Banner Program, covering the period April 17 through December 31, 2026. The motion directed Council to approve both the program itself and the specific banner designs submitted with the motion. Those designs include holiday-themed banners featuring Port of LA branding, a patriotic banner with an American flag motif and Port of LA insignia, and a community-oriented banner carrying the message "Break Barriers. Build Bridges" alongside City and Port logos. All banners are formatted as 35-by-96-inch pole-mounted displays with wind slits, consistent with standard city street banner specifications. The motion was referred directly to the full Council on April 21, 2026, without a committee stop. The City Clerk scheduled it for the April 29 meeting, where Council adopted it 13-0-2, subject to reconsideration under Council Rule 51. The action became final on May 5, 2026, and the file is now closed.
