PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE REPORT relative to proposed Police Permit Fee adjustments for 2015.

 

Recommendations for Council action: 

  1. REQUEST the City Attorney to draft an ordinance to effectuate the recommended fees contained in the Los Angeles Police Department's (LAPD) report to the Board of Police Commissioners dated March 26, 2014 (attached to the Council file), as amended to incorporate the technical amendments presented at the Public Safety Committee special meeting held October 1, 2014 (attached to the Council file).

  2. INSTRUCT the LAPD to:

    1. Identify additional businesses and activities which generate significant enforcement activities and report on the feasibility of permitting those businesses.

    2. Submit its annual fee study with its Fiscal Year (FY) 2015-16 Proposed Budget for consideration as part of the Annual Budget process.

Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Administrative Officer (CAO) reports that the proposed fees in the LAPD report are estimated to generate approximately $12.13 million in revenue in FY 2014-15. The FY 2014-15 Adopted Budget includes $12.12 million in revenue from police permit fees and excessive false alarm fees. In FY 2013-14, the receipts from new and renewal police permits and excessive false alarms totaled $13.58 million. It is anticipated that the LAPD will achieve the budgeted revenue from police permit fees in 2014-15. The above recommendations are in compliance with City financial policies inasmuch as the proposed fees are fair and recover the full cost of providing such services.

 

Community Impact Statement: None submitted.

COMMUNICATION FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER, LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (LADOT), relative to extending the contract with Serco Inc., for the collection of parking meter coin revenue.

 

Recommendations for Council action: 

  1. AUTHORIZE the LADOT to extend the City's current contract with Serco Inc., for additional three months from October 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014, with additional month-to-month options through September 30, 2015, for the collection of parking meter coin revenue, subject to the approval of the City Attorney as to form and legality.

  2. AUTHORIZE the LADOT to execute a contractual agreement with Serco Inc., to be signed and executed by the parties.

  3. AUTHORIZE the LADOT to amend Section 2.0 of the agreement, entitled COMPENSATION, to increase the unit price for meter collections for Single Space and PayStations as follows:

      Current  New
     Single Space  0.57235

    0.62

     PayStation

     9.60

    9.60

Fiscal Impact Statement: The LADOT reports that the monthly cost for this service during the last term (October 2012 - September 2013) was approximately $155,000. The new meter rates as proposed by the current vendor will decrease the monthly billed amount by approximately $7,000 compared to last term, based on the average number of meters collected during the current term (September 2013 - June 2014). The funding allocation of $2,863,460 in the 2014-15 Special Parking Revenue Fund Budget, Expense Item 0010, is sufficient to fund the additional expense for this contract extension.
