2. AUTHORIZE locating the Southern Pacific Trails project to the railroad right-of-way along the Slauson Avenue corridor, and find that the new site serves as a community project for the original residents on the basis that the distance falls within a 5-mile radius consistent with the park fee service areas defined in the 2016 Public Recreation Plan, with use of the Proposition K funds limited to the original scope restrictions identified in the Ballot Measure for beautification of the railroad right-of-way, to include landscaping, trails, and irrigation.
   
   
3. AUTHORIZE the Department of General Services (GSD) to proceed with negotiations with the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority (LA Metro) to execute a long-term lease for the site to be utilized for the Southern Pacific Trails project.
   
   
4.

Fiscal Impact Statement:  The L.A. for Kids Steering Committee reports that the recommendations will have no impact on the General Funds at this time. Based on a preliminary project budget of $24 million and total funding commitments of $13.2 million in Proposition K monies, there is a potential construction shortfall of $10.8 million. To mitigate a potential General Fund impact, the Council Office has earmarked an additional $2.5 million in discretionary funds and is working with staff to pursue over $18 million in grant opportunities. There is also a potential General Fund impact for operations and maintenance funds since this is not an existing facility, however, there may also be cost offsets provided by program funds or other potential contributions that may be provided by LA Metro as a collaborative partner and owner of the proposed project site.

Financial Policies Statement:  The City Administrative Officer reports that the actions recommended in this report comply with the City’s Financial Policies in that sufficient funding will be identified before incurring design and construction costs for the subject project.

Community Impact Statement:  None submitted.

TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the transition plan to resume parking enforcement for previously suspended parking infractions and proposed economic relief measures for parking fines.

Recommendations for Council action:

DIRECT the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) to:

1. Beginning October 1, 2020, to resume parking enforcement and impounds, when applicable, for street cleaning, abandoned vehicles, oversize and overnight restrictions, peak hour and anti-gridlock zones, and expired registration.
   
   
2. Beginning October 15, 2020, to resume enforcement of expired preferential parking district permits.
   
   
3. Suspend imposing new citation late penalties until October 22, 2020.
   
   
4. Delay the proposed January 20, 2021 date for resuming impounds for oversize vehicles that the violate the Oversize Vehicle Ordinance (OVO), and report in 30 to 60 days with a next step plan.
   
   

Fiscal Impact Statement: The LADOT reports that parking citation revenue is deposited into the General Fund. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2019-20, prior to the Declaration of Local Emergency, the LADOT projected parking citation revenue to reach approximately $135 million annually or an average of $11.25 million per month. For FY 2020-21, assuming current conditions remain the same with reduced parking enforcement and officers are deployed similarly for the remainder of the FY, parking citation revenue is estimated to be between $55 million and $60 million, or $4.5 million to $5 million per month. Compared to the FY 2020-21 City Budget, the estimates for the current year are up to approximately $85.5 million below budget, which is approximately 62 percent below budget. Delayed normal parking enforcement is one of the main drivers for the $6 million revenue loss each month. The revenue may continue to drop with work output impacts related to the recently approved employee Separation Incentive Program, upcoming furloughs, unfilled vacancies, and other factors associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The new citation amnesty programs combined could be revenue generating or neutral as the citation payments would otherwise be difficult to collect. Assuming the early payment program extends to the end of the FY, it is estimated to result in a revenue loss of approximately $1 million to $2 million.

Community Impact Statement: None submitted.
