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

 

  1. DESIGNATE the L.A. For Kids Steering Committee as the administering entity for the new Measure A grant program, with the Department of Recreation and Parks (RAP) serving as the grant administrator pursuant to the August 8, 2018 recommendation made on Council file No. 18-0611.
       
  2. AUTHORIZE the Controller to establish new Special Funds within Department 88, to receive and disburse Measure A program funds, as cash flow or for reimbursement of program expenses, as follows:

    1. MAC1 - Community Based Park Investment Program.

    2. MAC2 - Safe, Clean Neighborhood Parks, Healthy Communities, and Urban Greening Program.

    3. MAC3 - Natural Lands, Open Spaces and Local Beaches, Water Conservation, and Watershed Protection Program.

    4. MAC4 - Regional Recreational Facilities, Multi-use Trails and Accessibility Program.

    5. MAC5 - Youth and Veteran Job Training and Placement Opportunities.

    6. MA - Maintenance and Servicing.

    7. MA - Program Innovation.

    8. MA - Bonds.

    9. MA - Bond Match.

    10. MA - Miscellaneous.

  3. REQUEST the City Attorney with assistance from the City Administrative Officer (CAO), the Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA), RAP, and the Controller, as needed, to finalize an ordinance to implement the adopted recommendations.

  4. INSTRUCT the RAP to submit an annual expenditure plan and quarterly status updates for the Measure A grant program.  Recreation and Parks will be responsible for processing all accounting transactions funded by the Measure A grant.

  5. INSTRUCT the RAP, with assistance from the CAO, to report to the LA for Kids Steering Committee on the following issues:

    1. Identify any proposed staffing needs to support program activities.

    2. Analyze the cost effectiveness of utilizing joint use agreements between the City and the Los Angeles Unified School District to address recreational needs in underserved or high density areas, and confirm whether Measure A program funds may be used to support the associated operational cost.

  6. AUTHORIZE the CAO and REQUEST the City Attorney to make technical changes, including adjustments to the names of the new Special Funds reflected in Recommendation 2 above, as needed to implement Mayor and Council intentions.
               

Fiscal Impact Statement:  The CAO reports that the City will receive an annual allocation estimated at $22.4 million in Measure A grant funds from the County based on a per capita formula, and potentially additional funding through competitive award cycles. To the extent that these grant funds are used to acquire or construct new facilities or new amenities at existing facilities, there is an anticipated increase in associated operational and maintenance expenses. However, any potential impact on the General Fund would be partially offset by Measure A funds available to offset the associated incremental increases in operational and maintenance expenses. Any direct impact on the General Fund would be addressed through the City’s annual budget process following acquisition and/or the completion of the respective projects.

COMMUNICATION FROM THE MUNICIPAL FACILITIES COMMITTEE (MFC) relative to the contract award for the Northeast Area Police Station Parking Garage Structure (Northeast Parking) Project.

 

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

 

  1. AUTHORIZE the repurposing of $1,603,536 in Municipal Improvement Corporation of Los Angeles (MICLA) funds originally authorized for the Fire Station 39 (FS 39) Project for commitment to the Northeast Parking Project, which increases the overall budget for the latter project from the current level of $11,680,000, to a final revised total of $13,283,536.

  2. APPROVE the award of the construction contract for the Northeast Parking Project to the sole bidder, McCarthy Building Companies, Inc., as the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, subject to the concurrence of the Board of Public Works Commissioners at its meeting scheduled for October 15, 2018, as needed to award the contract prior to the bid expiration on November 1, 2018.

  3. AUTHORIZE the Controller to transfer the balance of $1,603,536 within the MICLA Fund No. 298/50, from the account established for the FS 39 Project (Account No. 50NPAT), to the existing account for Northeast Parking Project (Account No. 50NQCC); and, AUTHORIZE total payments of up to $12,301,300, upon proper demand, to fund construction costs for the Northeast Parking Project.

 

Fiscal Impact Statement: The MFC reports that there is no additional impact on the General Fund beyond previously authorized MICLA funding. The total funding commitment for construction activities is $12,301,300, which includes the construction bid of $11,183,000, and a contingency allowance of $1,118,300. Funding is available using $10,697,764 in MICLA funds awarded to the Northeast Parking Project, with the balance of $1,603,536 proposed for commitment by repurposing MICLA funds that were originally awarded for the FS 39 Project. Due to the availability of sufficient Proposition F General Obligation monies, the $1.6 million in MICLA funds are not required to fund the FS 39 project.

 

Community Impact Statement: None submitted.
