The Los Angeles City Council on September 4, 2024, adopted an amending motion by Councilmembers McOsker and Blumenfield to establish a comprehensive framework for the City's participation in programs related to the federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). This decision aims to streamline and formalize how the City identifies, pursues, receives, and manages significant federal funds and resources made available through the IRA. The framework will coordinate application processes across various City departments, ensure compliance with federal requirements, and maximize the benefits for residents and businesses. This action builds upon previous Council approval for IRA participation by providing a detailed operational strategy to effectively leverage federal investments in climate action, clean energy, and environmental quality. The motion recognizes the critical need for a structured approach to capitalize on these unprecedented funding opportunities.
