PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE REPORT relative to agreements with the City of San Fernando for the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) to provide comprehensive fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) within its jurisdictional limits.

Recommendations for Council action: 

1. AUTHORIZE the Chief, LAFD, or designee, to negotiate and execute:
   
   
   1. The proposed agreement between the City of San Fernando and the LAFD to provide comprehensive fire services and EMS within its jurisdictional limits for a period of five years retroactive from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2017, with an option to extend the term of the agreement up to two additional five-year terms by mutual agreement of both cities, subject to the approval of the City Attorney as to form and legality.
      
      
   2. An agreement between the City of San Fernando and the LAFD to reimburse the City of Los Angeles for prior-year service fee balances for Fiscal Years (FY) 2011-12 and 2012-13.
      
      
2. INSTRUCT the LAFD to include in the departmental Financial Status Reports the status of the prior-year service fee repayment efforts.

Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Administrative Officer reports that approval of the agreement to provide fire suppression services and EMS to the City of San Fernando will reduce the fee for services provided by the LAFD in FY 2013-14 from $3.70 million to $2.58 million; and, in FY 2012-13 from $3.36 million to $2.44 million through the application of a revised fee formula. Based on the adopted LAFD revenue budget of $2.70 million per year for these services, this will result in an actual net reduction of $367,126 to the combined year's revenue ($251,746 for 2012-13 and $115,380 for 2013-14). Subsequent years' compensation would be based upon adjustments to the assessed property value ratios and adopted LAFD budgets. Prior-year compensation balances for services provided to the City of San Fernando total approximately $1.07 million, consisting of $530,000 for 2011-12 and $545,000 for 2012-13. Full reimbursement of these funds to the City of Los Angeles is anticipated to be made over a three-year period commencing in FY 2013-14, through a mutually agreed upon repayment process with the City of San Fernando.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXEMPTION and TRADE, COMMERCE, AND TOURISM COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the proposed fourth amendment to the contract with Anderson and Kreiger, LLP for legal services to assist Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) and the City Attorney concerning advisory and litigation counsel services for federal regulatory law and related matters.

Recommendations for Council action:

1. ADOPT the determination by the Board of Airport Commissioners (Board) that the proposed action is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as provided in Article II, Section 2(f) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines.
   
   
2. APPROVE the fourth amendment to Contract No. DA-4497 between the City of Los Angeles and Anderson & Kreiger, LLP.
   
   
3. CONCUR with the Board’s action of June 16, 2014 by Resolution No. 25445 authorizing the Executive Director to execute the fourth amendment to the contract with Anderson and Kreiger, LLP for legal services to assist LAWA and the City Attorney concerning advisory and litigation counsel services for federal regulatory law and related matters.

Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Administrative Officer reports that approval of the proposed fourth amendment will not impact the City's General Fund. As of June 2014, approximately $611,903 (out of an original appropriation of $1 million) was available to finance the fourth amendment. Since the average monthly expenditure rate for the most recent 24-month period for which billings are complete (March 2012 to March 2014) has been $12,577, the available funding (which allows for an average monthly expenditure of $33,995) appears to be sufficient for the proposed 18-month extension. The required funding is available from the Fiscal Year 2013-14 LAWA Operating Budget, LAX Cost Center 1110004 - Legal Services Division, Commitment Item 520 - Contractual Services. If additional financing is required, it will be requested as part of the Department's annual budget process. The proposed amendment complies with the Department’s adopted Financial Policies.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXEMPTION and TRADE, COMMERCE, AND TOURISM COMMITTEE REPORT relative to authorizing the use of the Competitive Sealed Proposals Selection process and the Construction Manager-at-Risk alternative project delivery methods for the construction of five airfield capital improvement projects at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

Recommendations for Council action:

1. ADOPT the determination by the Board of Airport Commissioners (Board) that the proposed action is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as provided in Article II, Section 2(m) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines.
   
   
2. ADOPT Resolution No. 25481, attached to the Council file, which was approved by the Board at their meeting held on July 21, 2014.
   
   
3. REQUEST the City Attorney to prepare and present an Ordinance to authorize the use of Competitive Sealed Proposal Selection Process and the Construction Manager at Risk Alternative Project Delivery Method for select airfield capital improvement projects at LAX.

Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Administrative Officer reports that while there is no estimated direct, measurable economic impact resulting from the Council's approval of an Ordinance allowing the Board to authorize the Department of Airports to use alternative delivery methods for specific LAX capital projects, there is the potential for cost avoidance from the reduced risk of change orders that can result from design, construction, phasing, and sequencing conflicts. Additionally, the cost of the various airfield improvement projects will be recovered from the airfield users through the LAX Rates and Charges process. Approval of the proposed Ordinance will have no impact on the City's General Fund or the Department of Airports' Operating or Capital budgets since there is no appropriation of funds required. This action complies with the Department of Airports adopted Financial Policies.

Community Impact Statement: None submitted.
