5. AUTHORIZE the City Administrative Officer (CAO) to make technical corrections and adjustments as necessary to those transactions included in this report to implement the Mayor and Council intentions.

Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of the Bonds in an amount up to $350 million will be an obligation of the General Fund, subject to annual appropriations in the Adopted Budget.

The first lease payments will be made on October 15, 2020. The 2020-21 Budget contains appropriations to cover the payments.

Debt Impact Statement:  The CAO reports that the MICLA Lease Revenue Bonds are a General Fund obligation. The lease payments to MICLA are annually budgeted in the Capital Finance Administration Fund (Fund No. 100/53).

INFORMATION, TECHNOLOGY, AND GENERAL SERVICES COMMITTEE REPORT relative to a ten-year lease for office space located at 888 South Vermont Avenue to relocate the Parking Enforcement and Traffic Control Unit (PETCU) of the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) Hollywood Enforcement Area Division.

Recommendations for Council action:

1. AUTHORIZE the Department of General Services (GSD) to:
   
   
   1. Negotiate and execute a new ten-year lease with 888 Vermont Avenue LLC for office/warehouse space located at 888 South Vermont Avenue, Los Angeles, California 90005, for use by the PETCU of the LADOT Hollywood Enforcement Area Division, under the terms and conditions outlined in the subject Municipal Facilities Committee (MFC) report dated June 8, 2020, attached to Council file No. 20-0720.
      
      
   2. Utilize a consultant to develop a workspace plan that maximizes the number of PETCU work units that can be accommodated at the 888 South Vermont Avenue lease site, in order to relocate PETCU staff from the current City-owned facility located at 411 North Vermont Avenue, which is required due to structural deficiencies that cannot remediated at this time due to significant costs of $50-70 million.
      
      
2. REQUEST that the LADOT, GSD, and the City Administrative Officer, with any assistance that may be required from the Personnel Department, to develop a parking plan that would prioritize the use of on-site leased parking and any potential use of parking available at the current City-owned facility for overflow purposes; and, report to the MFC with the final proposed workspace and parking plan, along with any potential relocation of impacted staff to space available at the LADOT lease site located at 1111 Mateo Street, including an analysis of associated costs and recommended funding sources.

Fiscal Impact Statement: The MFC reports that there is no immediate impact to the General Fund as a result of the recommendations in the subject MFC report. The rental payments for the upcoming year are fully funded by monies budgeted for this purpose as part of the GSD's 2020-21 leasing account. A portion of the GSD's projected year-end lease savings is recommended as part of the Year-End Financial Status Report, which would fully offset the estimated one-time costs of moving and communication services. The ongoing leasing costs would be budgeted as part of the GSD's leasing account in future years, along with a three percent escalation factor. An additional allowance of $1.9 million will be incurred at the owner's expense to complete tenant improvements.

There is a potential impact to the General Fund if this allowance is not sufficient to fully fund needed site improvements. However, City staff will work to prioritize these needs to remain within available funding, or identify other cost offsets or contributing funds; and, update the MFC on the final space plan, supplemental parking options, and funding options if costs exceed budgeted sources of funds as detailed in the subject MFC report.

Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that PY 46 CDBG will provide approximately $28.7 million to support positions (direct salaries: $13.5 million; expenses including contracts: $6.4 million; and related cost reimbursement: $8.8 million). For PY 46, the CAO has calculated total related costs to be approximately $9.4 million. Of this amount, approximately $8.8 million can be funded with CDBG dollars. This will result in a balance of approximately $600,000 in unfunded related costs that may be considered by the Council and Mayor to be potentially funded with a General Fund allocation. For reference, the previous year's PY 46 fiscal impact was estimated at $300,000 in related costs paid by the General Fund. The City's Financial Policies state that the City will pursue programs grants, but will limit financial support of these programs to avoid commitments beyond available funding. 

It should be noted that Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) 42 is the plant used to calculate related costs for 2020-21, and in some cases, CAP 42 is higher than CAP 41, the rate used to calculate related costs in PY 45. These estimated also do not include the impact of potential furloughs on direct salary expenditures. A reduction in salary expenditures could result in additional funding available to reimburse the General Fund for related costs, reducing the estimated impact of the Consolidated Plan on the General Fund. It is a policy decision regarding how and at what level the City will contribute City resources, specifically the General Fund, to leverage CDBG grant program activities. 

Community Impact Statement: Yes.
