INFORMATION, TECHNOLOGY, AND GENERAL SERVICES COMMITTEE REPORT relative to a lease agreement with Cars911 dealership for a portion of the Bureau of Sanitation (BOS) North East Sewer Interceptor Air Treatment Facility located at 2110-2130 West San Fernando Road.

 

Recommendations for Council action, pursuant to Motion (Cedillo - Englander):

 

  1. AUTHORIZE the Department of General Services (GSD), in consultation with the BOS, to negotiate a lease agreement between the City and the Cars911 Dealership for a portion (38,502 square feet) of the BOS North East Sewer Interceptor Air Treatment Facility located at 2110-2130 West San Fernando Road to be used for the display, storage and service of Cars911 Dealership vehicles; and under further appropriate terms and conditions to be negotiated with Cars911, including that the lease should be retroactive to April 2017 when CARS911 took over and bought the business and adjoining parcel from Glendale KIA.

  2. FIND pursuant to Charter Section 371 (e) (10) that the proposed lease agreement is exempt from the competitive bidding process in as much as the use of competitive bidding would be undesirable, impractical or impossible because CARS911 will be continuing the same business as Glendale KIA with the same employees; leasing the site to Cars911 will ensure that the property is occupied and maintained and eliminates the risk of illegal use, trash dumping, graffiti and other nuisance activities; and the lease will generate revenue for the City that would otherwise not occur due to the restrictive lease terms, site location, site size and existing conditions.

 

Fiscal Impact Statement: Neither the City Administrative Officer nor the Chief Legislative Analyst has completed financial analysis of this report.

 

Community Impact Statement: None submitted.

INFORMATION, TECHNOLOGY, AND GENERAL SERVICES COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the lease of former Fire Station 65, located at 1525 East 103rd Street in Council District 15 to Watts Counseling and Learning Center.

 

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

 

  1. FIND that Watts Counseling and Learning Center, a 501(c)3 non-profit Community Benefit Program of Kaiser Permanente of Southern California/Foundation Health Plan, Inc. (Kaiser), provides a significant community and public benefit to Los Angeles residents that is greater than the current market value of the proposed lease agreement for Former Fire Station 65.

  2. AUTHORIZE the General Manager, Department of General Services (GSD), with assistance from the City Attorney and other necessary departments, to finalize negotiations and execute a lease agreement with Kaiser for the Former Fire Station 65 property located at 1525 East 103rd Street, as illustrated in Attachment 1 and outlined in Attachment 2 of the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) report, dated October 4, 2018, and without material changes.

  3. FIND under the California Public Resources Code, Section 21166 and the State’s Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15162, on the basis of substantial evidence contained in the whole record, made at the public hearings on April 18, 2018, and pursuant to Charter Section 562 and the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) Section 12.27 B, that a zone variance from LAMC Sections 12.04.09 B and 12.23 B.7(a) to allow the change in use of a leased space within an existing municipal building in the Public Facility zone to a privately operated community services center on an interim basis is appropriate.

  4. DETERMINE that the five requirements and prerequisites for granting a variance as enumerated in Section 562 of the City Charter and Section 12.27 of the LAMC have been established by the adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration No. ENV-2017-1063-MND on July 16, 2018, there have been no changes to project, changes with respect to the circumstances under which the project is being undertaken or new information of substantial importance concerning the project, which cause new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects, and therefore no subsequent negative declaration, addendum, or further environmental documentation is necessary.

  5. AUTHORIZE the City Attorney to make any technical corrections that would be necessary to execute the agreement.

 

Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that there is no anticipated revenue to the General Fund from approval of the lease. The total estimated community benefit over the three-year term of the lease is $2.18 million in capital improvements or $726,667 annually. The total revised annual lost revenue based on the revised 7,760 square feet is $81,946. The revised community benefit to the City is $644,721 annually. Additionally, the City will own the permanent capital improvements after termination of the lease.

 

Community Impact Statement: None submitted.

    1. Extend PM hours of service for DASH service in downtown, extend hours of service for all existing routes, and add weekend service to all DASH routes.

  6. AUTHORIZE the use of up to $25 million in Municipal Improvement Corporation of Los Angeles (MICLA) Commercial Paper (CP) for the LADOT Bus Purchase Program through Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25, subject to awarded grant receipts available for reimbursement.

  7. AUTHORIZE the Controller to:

    1. Establish a new interest bearing Fund entitled Bus Purchase Program within Department No. 94, to receive and disburse authorized funds, including those received from both the State and Federal governments as reimbursements for capital purchases authorized by Council.

    2. Establish new accounts within the Bus Purchase Program, Fund No. TBD, Department No. 94, pursuant to instructions to be provided by the CAO, and expend funds directly from these newly created accounts within the project budgeted amounts.

    3. Upon proper documentation from the department and approval of the CAO to advance up to $25 million from the MICLA CP Fund No. 298 to the Bus Purchase Program Fund No. TBD, on a revolving basis through FY 2024-25 to be repaid from State and Federal reimbursements.

    4. Reduce appropriations and disencumber $1,070,498 in FY 2016 in Proposition A, Fund No. 385, Account No. 94MA00 Community DASH Bus Purchase Expansion.

    5. Reappropriate a total of $147,932,907.48 in various accounts to a new account entitled Transit Operations Expansion as specified in Attachment D of the CAO report dated August 9, 2018.

  8. DIRECT the LADOT to:

    3. Report relative to the potential for additional Metro formula revenue allocations upon completion of the implementation of Phase One.

    4. In conjunction with the CAO:

      1. Renegotiate the Metro Measure R Three Percent Local Match Contribution and seek credit for the regional projects constructed within City limits which meet the first/last mile criteria and report back.

      2. Explore the funding options presented and report to Council.

  9. AUTHORIZE the LADOT to:

    1. Make any technical adjustments as necessary and consistent with this action, subject to the approval of the CAO; and, REQUEST the Controller to implement these instructions.

    2. Enter into a contract with Proterra to purchase 25 battery electric buses as part of the No-Low Grant.

    3. In consultation with the Department of Aging and the Department on Disability, to report in 180 days with a comprehensive analysis of transit services for senior and/or disabled populations, including the identification of overlapping services, gaps in services, and opportunities to more effectively and efficiently meet the mobility needs of these populations through new partnerships and technologies.

  11. DIRECT the CAO to report with an implementation plan and realistic deadline for Phase II of LADOT's transit service expansion.

Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that this action will not impact the General Fund. The Proposition A Fund provides special funds to support the City transit services and programs. The annual base cost of current transit operations (DASH, Commuter Express and Cityride) is $76 million. The cost of the proposed increase in service is $62.3 million annually, and would increase the overall annual cost to $138.8 million. No increase to DASH or Commuter fares is proposed to support the increased costs. The use of MICLA CP as a cash flow mechanism to support current and future bus purchases is appropriate. The use of one-time funds, to support on-going programs is not in compliance with City fiscal policy, but will allow for the implementation of this Mayor and Council priority.
