Full summary

This motion, introduced by Councilmember Tim McOsker and seconded by Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez, asks the City Council to formally request that the Port of Los Angeles prepare a comprehensive implementation plan for all active Public Access Investment Plan (PAIP) projects. The PAIP is a longstanding program through which the Port reinvests a portion of its operating revenue into public infrastructure, waterfront access, and community amenities in the surrounding Harbor Area. The motion frames this not merely as Olympic preparation but as a broader equity commitment — ensuring that the economic benefits generated by the Port are shared with the communities that host it. The motion directs the Port to deliver its implementation plan within 60 days, with the report required to include project schedules, funding allocations, construction timelines, anticipated completion dates, and any identified barriers to delivery. Critically, the plan must also include a recommended sequencing and prioritization framework that accounts for projects needed to support local readiness for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Specific active PAIP projects named in the motion include gateway improvements to downtown San Pedro from State Route 47 — median enhancements, upgraded lighting, and wayfinding signage — and substantial upgrades to the Cabrillo Beach Youth Waterfront Sports Center. The motion also gestures toward longer-term institutional concerns. With the City considering Charter reforms, McOsker argues that preserving and codifying the PAIP commitment is essential so that future generations continue to benefit from sustained Harbor Area investment beyond the Olympic moment. The motion was referred to the Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee on June 17, 2026, where it remains pending with no further recorded action. The file expires June 17, 2028, just days before the Olympic Games open, creating a built-in deadline for the Council to act on the Port's implementation report.
