Full summary

This budget motion, introduced by Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez (13th District) and seconded by Councilmember Nithya Raman, seeks to amend the Budget and Finance Committee's report on the Mayor's Proposed Budget for 2026-27. Specifically, it instructs the City Administrative Officer to identify $1,227,555 in the Capital and Technology Improvement Expenditure Program for the North Atwater East Bank Riverway Project. The motion notes a net total change of zero dollars, meaning the funding would be identified within existing program allocations rather than representing new spending. The North Atwater East Bank Riverway Project involves improvements along the eastern bank of the Los Angeles River in the North Atwater neighborhood, within Soto-Martinez's 13th District. The Capital and Technology Improvement Expenditure Program is the City's primary vehicle for funding infrastructure and capital projects, making this a bid to secure a dedicated line within that program for the riverway work. The motion was referred to the Budget and Finance Committee on May 21, 2026, the same day it was introduced, and remains pending there. No hearing date or vote has been scheduled. The file expires on May 21, 2028, if no further action is taken.
