Full summary

Councilmember Nithya Raman introduced this budget motion on May 21, 2026, to add $150,000 in General Fund assistance to the Recreation and Parks department's allocation in the Mayor's Proposed Budget for 2026-27. The funding would pay for daily security services at Runyon Canyon Park specifically during the 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. window — evening and late-night hours when the park currently lacks dedicated security coverage. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martínez. The motion asks the Budget and Finance Committee to amend its report on the Mayor's Proposed Budget to reflect the $150,000 increase, along with any corresponding adjustments to related totals, subtotals, and supporting budget data. The $150,000 figure represents the full proposed change to the Recreation and Parks budget line. The file was referred to the Budget and Finance Committee on the same day it was introduced and has not advanced further as of the most recent activity. It remains pending in committee and has until May 21, 2028, to advance before it expires under Council rules.
