Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR:

1. AUTHORIZE the Director, DCP, to execute the necessary funding and contractual documents, subject to the City Attorney as to form and legality, for grants to the DCP approved in the Sustainable Communities Planning Grant and Incentives Program.

Fiscal Impact Statement:  The DCP reports that the City would be required to pay consultant invoices in advance of reimbursement by the Strategic Growth Council for the $491,700 to be spent over a three-year period.  The Controller has already appropriated a funding advance of $200,000 from the Reserve Fund to Fund No. 100/68, Account No. 3040 for FY 2014-15.  The DCP and Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) are including in the Work Program additional consultant services that are necessary to implement the changes in the transportation review process pursuant to CEQA.  The additional services include updating the City's travel demand forecasting model, establishing cost recoverable fees, as well as staff training and outreach efforts.  The funding required for the complete program is estimated not to exceed $800,000, which requires approximately $310,000 above the Strategic Growth Council grant award.  The net difference of $310,000 has been allocated through money set aside in the FY 2014-15 DCP budget from the Measure R local return.  In addition, the City will provide in kind staff support from both the DCP and LADOT to manage this program.
