23-0842-S5 GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the Sixth Construction Projects Report (CPR) for Fiscal Year 2023-24. Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR: REAUTHORIZE a total of $79,675,333 in Municipal Improvement Corporation of Los Angeles (MICLA) financing included in the 2024-25 Adopted budget for Municipal Facilities projects, as specified in Attachment 1 of the City Administrative Officer (CAO) report dated June 5, 2024, attached to the Council file. AUTHORIZE the Department of Convention and Tourism Department (CTD), and/or the CAO, to reimburse funds up to $22,507,000 from the MICLA Commercial Paper Program (LACC) to vendors such as AEG Management LACC, LLC, as appropriate, to pay for capital improvement projects at the LACC, as specified in the previously mentioned Attachment 1. REAUTHORIZE a total of $128,908,558 in MICLA financing included in the 2024-25 Adopted Budget, and AUTHORIZE the Department of General Services (GSD), to establish appropriations to purchase fleet and equipment, as specified in said Attachment 1. AUTHORIZE the CAO to make technical corrections, as necessary, to the transactions authorized through the CAO report, as required to implement the intent of those transactions. Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the recommendations stated in the report include reauthorizations totaling $231,090,891 million in MICLA financing. There is no additional General Fund impact for operations and maintenance costs as these are administrative actions. Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the recommendations stated in the report comply with the City’s Financial Policies in that appropriations for funds are limited to available cash balances needed to fund ongoing maintenance, programming, project shortfalls, and critical operational needs in the 2024-25 budget year. Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of MICLA debt is a General Fund obligation. The reauthorization of certain Municipal Facilities capital improvement projects approved in the 2024-25 Adopted Budget would cause the City to borrow $79,675,333 at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over a period of 20 years. The issuance of MICLA for the reauthorization of the entirety of LACC capital improvement projects would cause the City to borrow $22,507,000 at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over a period of 20 years. The total estimated debt service for the 2024-25 Municipal Facilities projects and LACC capital improvement projects is $171,010,984, including interest of approximately $68,828,651. During the life of the bonds, the estimated average annual debt service is $8,550,550 over a period of 20 years. The issuance of MICLA for the reauthorization of capital equipment acquisitions for various City departments approved in the 2024-25 Adopted Budget would cause the City to borrow $128,908,558 at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over a period of 10 years. The total estimated debt service for the capital equipment acquisitions is $171,020,108, including interest of approximately $42,111,550. During the life of the bonds, the estimated average annual debt service is $17,102,011 over a period of 10 years. Actual interest rates may differ as rates are dependent on market conditions at the time of issuance. We cannot fully predict what interest rates will be in the future. In accordance with the City's Debt Management Policy, the City has an established debt ceiling to guide in evaluating the affordability for future debt. The debt ceiling for non-voted direct debt as a percentage of General Fund revenues is 6.0 percent. The 2024-25 Adopted Budget non-voter-approved debt ratio is 2.63 percent. The issuance of debt for these projects will not cause the City to exceed the six percent non-voter-approved debt limit.

Recommendations for Council action: REQUEST the City Attorney to prepare and present an Interim Control Ordinance, with an Urgency Clause, for warehousing, distribution, and storage uses over 15,000 square feet within the existing CASP, as recommended by the Department of City Planning (DCP) report dated June 5, 2024. ADD the following additional language provided by the DCP for the proposed CASP ICO: Add to Recitals: Whereas self storage uses tend to provide low employment opportunities, and may be inconsistent with the larger employment and housing goals described under both the existing, and the proposed amended CASP, and there is a need to further study such uses to understand their environmental and economic impacts with the CASP area. Add to Section 2. Findings: A. There is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare from the introduction of new warehousing, distribution, and storage uses in the CASP area. Such uses can introduce new or increased air quality impacts that should be studied to determine if they should be subject to a discretionary approval process that involves environmental review and mitigation of health and safety impacts to the local community. Such uses may also deter from the overall housing and employment goals of the CASP, and further study is needed to understand the relationship between storage uses and the environmental effects described here, as well as the housing and employment goals of the CASP.
