Full summary

The Board of Harbor Commissioners has submitted Resolution No. 26-10775 requesting City Council approval of a first amendment to the Port of Los Angeles Clean Truck Program concession agreements covering individual licensed motor carriers. The Clean Truck Program sets environmental and operational standards for trucks moving cargo through the port, and the concession agreements define the terms under which independent carriers are permitted to operate there. The resolution does not detail the specific changes being made to the agreement terms, but the Board has determined the action is administratively exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review under Article II Section 2(f) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines. The City Council is asked to take two actions: adopt the Board's CEQA exemption determination and approve the resolution authorizing the amended agreements. The Harbor Commission notes there is no impact to the General Fund from this amendment. Commission Secretary Amber M. Klesges submitted the resolution on September 1, 2026, pursuant to Section 606 of the Los Angeles City Charter, which requires Board actions of this type to go before the full City Council for approval. The file was referred to the Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee on September 3, and the committee has scheduled the item for its September 11, 2026 meeting. No votes or amendments have been recorded yet. The file remains active through September 8, 2028, unless adopted, rejected, or otherwise closed before that date.
