CTIEP - Summary

Technology

This category includes projects that represent a significant investment in technology infrastructure, including major
technology systems. These projects are budgeted within the individual department that administers the project.

CTIEP Prioritization Criteria and Additional Indicators

In accordance with the City’s Capital and Technology Improvement Policy (C.F. 19-1353) adopted in May 2020, the
projects funded in the CTIEP were selected based on prioritization criteria outlined below:

Category 1 Risk to Health and Safety: Projects that eliminate or mitigate health and safety hazards to City
employees or the public (landfills, asbestos removal, and toxic waste).

Category 2 Compliance with Legal, Regulatory, or other policy Mandated Requirements: Projects that are federal,
state, or otherwise legally mandated, including Proposition K specified projects.

Category 3 Resilience and Sustainability (Refer to Note 1 below): Projects that improve public health and the
environment through improved water resources, air quality, reduction in greenhouse gas emissions,
and habitat protection.

Category 4 Impact to City Operations, Asset Condition, Annual Recurring Costs and Asset Longevity: Projects
that impact City operation, asset conditions, and/or minimize maintenance needs by improving
infrastructure and/or reducing future costs.

Category 5 Equitable Community Investment and Economic Sustainability (Refer to Note 2 below): Projects that
contribute toward economic development and/or promote social equity to benefit underserved
communities, including those with low-income households, low community engagement, and low
mobility or access to transportation systems.

Note 1: In an effort to identify capital investments that work towards achieving the City's climate change mitigation,
resilience, and sustainability goals, projects proposed for funding in the 2022-23 budget are labeled as Green
Investments if they support climate goals as outlined in the Mayor's Green New Deal (2019) and are in alignment
with the Green Bond Principles established by the International Capital Market Association.

Note 2: Using the L.A. Equity Index developed by the Controller’s Office, a Social Equity Index (SEI) score has
been identified for site-specific projects. The SEI provides a composite score on a scale of one to 10, with lower
scores representing the most disadvantaged communities within the City, and the lowest score in the City being a
three. As a site-based index, the SEI scoring is not assignable to projects with a Citywide or regional impact. In
these cases and as applicable to local projects within an assignable score, the intended impact of the project would
also be considered as part of the funding prioritization process.
