ADMINISTRATIVE EXEMPTION and TRADE, COMMERCE, AND TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the proposed approval of the Board of Harbor Commissioners (Board) Resolution No. 15-7817 to renew the Commercial Paper (CP) Program.  

 

Recommendations for Council action:  

 

  1. ADOPT the determination by the Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department) that the proposed action is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as provided in Article Il, Section 2(f) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines.

  2. APPROVE the Resolution No 15-7817 with the Harbor Department.  

 

Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Administrative Officer reports that the Harbor Department proposes a renewal of its CP Notes Program in the amount of up to $200 million and a three-year period. Once the CP Program's Line of Credit is in place, the annual cost to the Harbor Department will be approximately $632,200. In the event that the Harbor Department issues commercial paper notes under the CP Program, the Harbor Department will be obligated to pay interest, dealer fees, and any other financial advisory fees associated with the issuance. Approval will have no financial impact upon the Harbor Department until the CP notes issuance between the Harbor Department and the bank provides a source of borrowed money to the issuer. Once in place, the Harbor Department projects that its annual debt service payments, will be approximately 0.29 percent of the $200 million in Certificate of Deposit (CD) notes, which equates to approximately $632,200 per year or a total of $1,896,000 over three-years. Currently, CP rates are approximately 0.15 percent over a 90-day. Interest rates on the sale of CP notes will be contingent on the market interest rates at the time of CD notes issuance. All expenses for the CP Program have been and will be budgeted in the annual budget of the Harbor Department. The proposed request by the Harbor Department will not impact the City’s General Fund. Since the Harbor Department is only bound by the City Debt Management Policies, the City Financial Policies are not applicable.

AD HOC COMMITTEE ON HOMELESSNESS REPORT relative to the use of the Coordinated Entry System (CES) to improve the delivery of homeless services.

 

Recommendations for Council action:

 

  1. CONTINUE to support and implement the Home for Good Plan to end homelessness using the coordinated entry systems detailed in the Los Angeles Housing and Community Investment Department (HCIDLA) report dated June 17, 2015 (attached to Council file No. 14-0655). This includes providing sufficient funding for Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) and City departments to adequately support the CES through necessary infrastructure and staffing, outreach and engagement, bridge housing, and the Homeless Management Information Systems to track assessments, prioritize homeless clients, and match clients with appropriate housing resources.

  2. CONTINUE to support and increase funding for the Homeless Families Solutions System (HFSS) administered by LAHSA and currently funded by the City and the County of Los Angeles (County). City funding to LAHSA for HFSS for Program Year/Fiscal Year (FY) 2015-16 is $2,800,970. The HCIDLA recommends a minimum of $3,750,000 annually, which would allow the program to house an additional 500 families. Additionally, LAHSA should be instructed to evaluate the gap annually and report back on the funding necessary to address it.

  3. EVALUATE the need for additional bridge housing, which provides 24-hour emergency beds to high acuity homeless persons identified through the CES while permanent supportive housing placements are in process.

  4. EVALUATE the current number of emergency/crisis housing beds and the crisis housing system for sufficiency and effectiveness.

  5. DIRECT the HCIDLA to investigate methods to use the CES and HFSS to fill a portion of new and turnover units in non-Permanent Supportive Housing affordable housing projects funded through the City’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund with low-acuity homeless individuals and families, in conjunction with affordable housing developers and other relevant parties.

  6. REQUIRE that homeless programs funded by the City using federal Emergency Solutions Grant and Community Development Block Grant funds, City General Funds or other City funds, participate in the regional CES or other equivalent entry system for the specific population (single adults, families, or youth), to the extent practicable.

  7. SUPPORT integration of the CES, the Vulnerability Index-Service Prioritization and Decision Assistance Tool, and other sub-population assessment instruments into LAHSA’s Homeless Management Information System as the primary platform for the Los Angeles Continuum of Care, and then direct all City funded homeless service providers and agencies to use the system.

  8. REQUIRE that City-funded homeless programs leverage, to the extent possible, other homeless funds provided by Los Angeles County, Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles, Home for Good Collaborative, Veterans Administration, or other sources, and that City homeless programs collaborate with these agencies and programs to ensure that efforts are coordinated and avoid duplication of services.

  9. EVALUATE existing homeless funding and services, and review and analyze the County’s homeless programs and funding for homelessness to ensure the best use of City funds and avoid duplication and overlap.

  10. IDENTIFY additional resources for permanent supportive and affordable housing and supportive services. Without additional funding the City will be unable to house its chronically homeless and homeless population.

 

Fiscal Impact Statement:  None submitted by the HCIDLA. Neither the CAO nor the Chief Legislative Analyst has completed a financial analysis of this report.
