18-0630-S1 CD 7 GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS COMMITTEE REPORT relative to an amendment to the Master License Agreement with Kounkuey Design Initiative (KDI) for the Adopt-A-Lot (AAL) Pilot Program. Recommendations for Council action, as initated by Motion (Rodriguez – Padilla): INSTRUCT the General Services Department (GSD), with the assistance of the City Administrative Officer (CAO) and in consultation with the City Attorney, to extend the Master License Agreement (Contract No. C-13437) between the City and KDI by two years, to continue implementation of the AAL Program. INSTRUCT the GSD, in consultation with KDI, to provide a program summary report on the program pursuant to Council file No. 18-0630-S1. FIND, pursuant to Los Angeles City Charter Section 371(e)(10) and Los Angeles Administrative Code Section 10.15(a)(10), that the use of competitive bidding for the proposed license agreement with KDI would be undesirable and impractical: KDI will continue to implement the AAL Program which transforms vacant, City-owned lots into neighborhood resources that support community health and development. The AAL Program revitalizes communities by replacing blighted spaces that attract crime and nuisance with vibrant, open areas that serve the public; many of the City's vacant lots are in park-deficient neighborhoods, and this program directly addresses that disparity by creating new, accessible public spaces for residents. Given KDI's background and work experience, it is the most qualified and capable entity to operate these facilities. REMOVE the AAL Program site located at 15240 West Tupper Street, North Hills, from the Master License Agreement, inasmuch as there has been a long-term lessor identified for the site to become an educational garden. Fiscal Impact Statement: Neither the CAO nor the Chief Legislative Analyst has completed a financial analysis of this report. Community Impact Statement: None submitted
