PUBLIC WORKS AND GANG REDUCTION COMMITTEE REPORT relative to a monetary donation in support of the Hollywood Walkability Enforcement Program and five parking spots at the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) parking facility located at 6801 Hollywood Boulevard.

Recommendations for Council action:

1. AUTHORIZE the Bureau of Street Services (BSS) to accept the monetary donation of $105,086 from the Hollywood Tourism District Overlay Zone to purchase equipment for the Hollywood Walkability Enforcement Program and to accept future maintenance costs estimated to be $21,131.19 over a period of nine years.
   
   
2. AUTHORIZE the use of five parking spots at the LADOT parking facility at 6801 Hollywood Boulevard at no charge by the BSS, Investigation and Enforcement Division.

Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Administrative Officer reports that there is no anticipated General Fund impact related to the monetary donation from the Hollywood Tourism District Overlay Zone. There is a potential General Fund impact related to the use of the five parking spots. The Special Parking Revenue Fund, which collects parking revenue for the Hollywood and Highland parking facility, transfers its annual surplus to the General Fund. The Parking Occupancy Tax, which is charged as 10 percent of all parking fees (Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 21.15.2), is deposited into the General Fund.

The Hollywood and Highland parking facility is typically only filled to capacity during five special events per year. Throughout the year, the Hollywood and Highland parking facility has an average weekday occupancy rate of 46.42 percent and average weekend occupancy rate of 71.80 percent. Therefore, with the exception of the five special events, it is likely that the City wouldn't have collected parking revenues and Parking Occupancy Tax on the five parking spaces.
