AMENDING MOTION (CEDILLO - HUIZAR)

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

ENTERTAINMENT AND FACILITIES COMMITTEE REPORT relative to  a non-profit lease of space at the Nate Holden Performing Arts Center to the Ebony Repertory Theatre.

Recommendation for Council action, as initiated by Motion (Wesson - Martinez):

APPROVE the non-profit lease of the Nate Holden Performing Arts Center located at 4718 West Washington Boulevard to the Ebony Repertory Theatre as outlined in the Department of General Services (GSD) report dated January 28, 2016, attached to the Council file. 

Fiscal Impact Statement:  The GSD reports that there is no additional impact on the General Fund for the cost of operations and maintenance as these expenses already are funded through GSD's operational budget.  The annual cost incurred by the City in support of this facility totals $144,000, which includes security ($60,000), maintenance ($52,000) and custodial expenses ($32,000). In comparing the level of excess benefits estimated at $156,516 annually above the market value of the leased space to the City’s annual cost of approximately $144,000 for operational and maintenance expenses, the tenant still provides a net positive benefit to the community.

Community Impact Statement:  None submitted.

ENTERTAINMENT AND FACILITIES COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the negotiated purchase of the Dolby Theater property from the Community Redevelopment Agency of Los Angeles, a Designated Local Authority (CRA/LA-DLA) through a public bidding process.

Recommendations for Council action:

1. AUTHORIZE the acquisition of the Dolby Theater property from CRA/LA-DLA for $100,000 plus closing costs.
   
   
2. AUTHORIZE the Department of General Services (GSD) to execute a Purchase and Sale Agreement and related documents necessary for acquisition.
   
   
3. REQUEST the City Attorney to prepare the ordinances providing for the City’s acquisition of the Dolby Theater property from CRA/LA-DLA under the terms described in the City Administrative Officer (CAO) report dated January 11, 2016, attached to the Council file, and a resolution to reimburse the General Fund with refinance proceeds.
   
   
4. AUTHORIZE the GSD to make technical corrections or adjustments that may be required and are consistent with these actions, subject to the approval of the CAO and the City Attorney.

Fiscal Impact Statement:  The CAO reports that there will be no fiscal impact on the General Fund as there are sufficient funds budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2015-16 Capital Finance Administration Fund for the acquisition of the Dolby Theater property.

Debt Impact Statement:  The CAO reports that there will be no debt impact on the General Fund for Fiscal Year 2015-16. However, the potential refinancing of the outstanding debt in connection with the Dolby Theater may generate net present value savings of approximately $7 million (or 23 percent savings) over the life of the bonds. The projected savings are based on current market conditions and subject to change at the time of bond issuance. The refinancing of bonds through the Municipal Improvement Corporation of Los Angeles is a General Fund obligation. If the sale to a private entity is accomplished, the outstanding debt could trigger an event of default resulting in a material impact on the City’s General Fund debt portfolio and would require the City to disclose this material event for the next five years to the municipal market.

Community Impact Statement:  None submitted.
