AMENDING MOTION (KREKORIAN - O'FARRELL)

 

Recommendation for Council action:

 

AMEND to NOT CONFIRM the lien and RECEIVE AND FILE the report inasmuch as the Council Office and Department of Building and Safety have reviewed this case and the Council Office has found that there is merit to waive the total lien assessment based on the extenuating circumstances of the original owner who paid the original lien amount but due to processing delays, has been charged substantial late fees.

CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION, PLANNING AND LAND USE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT and ORDINANCE FIRST CONSIDERATION relative to amending the Los Angeles Administrative Code (LAAC) and the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) regarding the Development Services Reform Initiative.

 

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

 

  1. FIND that this action is categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) and (5), in that it concerns continuing administrative activities or organizational activities of government that will not result in specific direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and the creation of government funding mechanisms or other governmental fiscal activities that do not commit to any specific project that may result in potentially significant environmental impacts.

  2. PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying ORDINANCE dated February 1, 2016, amending Section 5.321 of the LAAC to rename the Construction Services Trust Fund and update procedures relating to the fund; amending LAMC Sections 11.12, 19.08, 19.09, 61.03, 61.16 and 98.0410; deleting LAMC Section 68.12; and adding Sections 57.118.4 and 61.17 of the LAMC to rename and update the current One-Stop Permit Center surcharge fee provisions, establishing the surcharge on fees in LAMC Section 57.118, and temporarily increase the surcharge to help pay for the development and implementation of a Citywide development services system known as BuildLA.

 

Fiscal Impact Statement:  The City Administrative Officer reports that there is no General Fund impact.  BuildLA will be fully funded by the temporary one percent increase to the One-Stop Permit Center Surcharge and deposited into the Development Services Trust Fund, formerly the Construction Services Trust Fund (Fund No. 438), which will have sufficient funds to finance this eligible expense if the Ordinance is adopted.  The temporary surcharge increase, set at full cost recovery, will be deposited into Fund No. 438.  This recommendation is consistent with the City's Financial Policies as one-time expenditures will be fully supported by one-time revenues.

 

Community Impact Statement:  None submitted.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXEMPTION and COMMUNICATION FROM THE BOARD OF AIRPORT COMMISSIONERS relative to the second amendment to the contract with Ricondo and Associates, Inc., to increase the contract authority and extend the term by two years for environmental consulting services related to the Landside Access Modernization Program at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

 

Recommendations for Council action:

 

  1. ADOPT the determination by the Board of Airport Commissioners (Board) that the proposed action is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as provided in Article II, Section 2.d of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines.

  2. APPROVE the second amendment to Contract DA-4941 with Ricondo and Associates, Inc.

  3. CONCUR with the Board’s action of September 21, 2016 by Resolution No. 26075 authorizing the Executive Director, Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), to execute the second amendment to Contract DA-4941 with Ricondo and Associates, Inc., to continue environmental documentation pursuant to CEQA, complete the Final Environmental Impact Report and related entitlement approvals, and prepare environmental analysis pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act for the proposed Landside Access Modernization Program at LAX.

 

Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Administrative Officer reports that the proposed amendment will increase the total contract authority from $10,910,400 to $15,066,322. LAWA further indicates that most of the costs related to the proposed amendment will be capitalized and, when the proposed projects are put in service, those costs will be recovered through landing fees, terminal rates and charges, as well as through non-aeronautical revenues. Funding for the proposed amendment is available in the LAWA operating and capital budgets in Cost Center No. 1140003. LAWA also requests that the funds for the CEQA/National Environmental Policy Act Support Services be appropriated and allocated from the LAX Revenue Fund to the Landside Transportation Program Capital Projects and their respective Work Breakdown Structure elements as may be required. This project complies with LAWA’s adopted financial policies. Approval of the proposed amendment between Ricondo and Associates, Inc. and LAWA will have no impact on the General Fund.
