Full summary

Councilmember Curren D. Price, Jr. introduced this motion to formalize the city's longstanding practice of providing supplemental services to USC events at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and other city venues. Those events include college football games, commencements, and other large gatherings that require coordinated security, transportation, and crowd management. Under the city's Special Events Ordinance, event sponsors are required to reimburse the city for the cost of those services, and this motion is designed to put that arrangement on a formal contractual footing. The motion directs the City Administrative Officer and the Chief Legislative Analyst to negotiate a contract with USC covering all necessary supplemental city services, with USC paying the full cost. The contract would run for three years with an option to extend for two additional years, for a maximum term of five years. The motion also explicitly authorizes supplemental LAPD law enforcement services for USC events, with full reimbursement, under California Government Code section 53069.8, which governs contracts for police services at private events. The CAO would be authorized to execute and administer the final contract, subject to City Attorney review. The motion was referred to the full Council on May 19, 2026, the same day it was introduced. No committee assignment or further action has occurred yet. The file remains open and active through May 2028.
