Recommendations for Council action:

1. AUTHORIZE the Department of General Services to negotiate and execute a lease amendment with the Albert and Elaine Borchard Foundation, on behalf of the LADOT, for the property located at 1111 South Mateo Street, Los Angeles, California 90021, for LADOT warehouse space under the terms and conditions substantially outlined in the Municipal Facilities Committee (MFC) report dated October 6, 2020, attached to Council File No. 19-1359, to add a five-year renewal option to the ten-year lease term; and, increase the tenant improvement (TI) costs by $1.2 million for a revised total of $1.6 million.
          
2. INSTRUCT the City Administrative Officer, MFC staff, to provide a Phase 3 occupancy plan for the remaining 4,000 square feet of unused space in the warehouse.
   
   
3. INSTRUCT the LADOT to identify potential funding to offset the TI expenses using Special Funds, operational savings, or other funding source under the LADOT's control.

Fiscal Impact Statement: The MFC reports that there is no additional impact to the General Fund in the current Fiscal Year beyond funding previously authorized through the City's Budget. The rental cost for this lease is fully funded as part of the Citywide Leasing account, with a projected surplus of $691,558 for rent savings and TI credits. This savings would be applied towards an aggregate shortfall of $1.8 million in TI costs, communication services, moving and other associated expenses. There is sufficient capacity to fund the resulting net shortfall of $1.1 million utilizing available funding programmed through the City Budget for Space Optimization (TI) projects. However, the Space Optimization program is funded with Municipal Improvement Corporation of Los Angeles (MICLA) funds that cannot be utilized for tenant improvements at a leased facility. To resolve this eligibility issue, a funding exchange between existing General Fund and MICLA authority previously authorized for capital projects will be subsequently addressed through a future Construction Projects Report, less any potential funding contributions that may be provided by the LADOT, subject to the final Council action taken for this item.

Community Impact Statement: None submitted.

(Budget and Finance Committee report to be submitted in Council.)

DIRECT LAWA to report relative to the status of the LAX FlyAway Bus Program, including an analysis of the following recommendations for improvements:

1. Reliability: ten-minute headways or better for all current FlyAway lines, and contractual protocols for expanding FlyAway service on-demand when buses fill to capacity.
   
   
2. Affordability: five-dollar flat fare for all FlyAway Program trips, free transfers to regional bus/rail, reduced taxi and Transportation Network Company fares for customers traveling to/from non-Central Terminal Area (CTA) FlyAway pick up locations.

   1. Contract No. C-126963 with the City of Beverly Hills to provide animal care and control services.
      
      
   2. Contract No. C-128954 with Best Friends Animal Society (Best Friends) for the continued operation of the Northeast Animal Shelter.

Approval of the recommendation contained in the November 25, 2020 DAS report, attached to the Council file, ensures continued cost savings to the City based on the services provided by Best Friends which are estimated at approximately $3.8 million per year.  The spay/neuter clinic operations contracts (Contract Nos. C-123811, C125639, C-125775) referenced herein have no fiscal impact to the General Fund.  The Animal Sterilization Fund will be used to reimburse the contractor based on rates established by the Animal Services Commission.
