Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that there is no additional impact on the General Fund in the current fiscal year as the recommendations of this addendum reflect administrative adjustments that are fully funded by Proposition K assessment funds. The L.A. for Kids Steering Committee reports that adoption of an Ordinance and Resolution of Intention to levy the Proposition K: L.A. for Kids Assessment for Fiscal Year 2020-21 indicates the Council's intention to levy assessments totaling $25 million to acquire and construct park and recreational and cultural facilities serving youth. The assessment can only be used for capital improvements, acquisition of land, Proposition K Program administration and maintenance of completed projects. The operating cost for Proposition K projects completed in future years will be funded by the annual operating budget adopted for City departments and with independent funding for projects operated by external entities.
In the current year, Proposition K will provide a total of $12.53 million in City cost recovery, which includes $8.15 million in ongoing reimbursements and $4.38 million in additional one-time funding. For the upcoming year, Proposition K will provide an additional $8.88 million in City cost recovery, which includes $7.66 million in ongoing reimbursements and an additional $1.22 million in one-time funding. These monies provide reimbursements for program administration, project delivery expenses and maintenance of completed projects. In total, there are ten City Departments that qualify for cost recovery through the program, which includes: the Bureau of Construction Administration, BOE, City Attorney, Cultural Affairs Department, ITA, CAO, Office of the Chief Legislative Analyst, Public Works Accounting, the Zoo Department and the RAP.
The RAP reports an annual fiscal impact of $9.28 million once active Proposition K projects, currently in various stages of development, become operational over future years. This includes $5.64 million for maintenance and $3.64 million for operations (Attachments 5 and 6 to the April 16, 2020 L.A. for Kids Steering Committee report, attached to the Council file). The fiscal impact for completed projects will be partially offset by Proposition K maintenance funding. In 2019-20, the RAP will receive a combined award of $9.79 million for current year maintenance awards ($6.13 million) and 2017-18 and 2018-19 supplemental maintenance awards ($3.66 million).
Community Impact Statement: None submitted.
