Transmittal 1
Transmittal 2
Transmittal 3

Summary: The City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department) staff recommends to enter into a three-year agreement with Cision US Inc. (Cision), headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, with offices in Los Angeles, to provide a package of media monitoring and measurement services that will enable the Harbor Department to target, distribute, track, and measure regional, national and international news coverage about the Port of Los Angeles (Port) in the print, broadcast and social media categories. Results can be distributed daily via email in an easy-to-read format. The agreement calls for access to a wide range of data, thereby allowing the Media Relations Division to provide metrics on the effectiveness of its media outreach program in conformance with the Port of Los Angeles 2012-17 Strategic Plan 2014 Update. The agreement also includes access to CisionPoint, a media database subscription that will enable Media Relations Division personnel to identify key media outlets and pitch story ideas as part of maximizing the Port's positive news coverage. The cost of these services will be $35,500 annually for three years, not to exceed $106,500. The proposed agreement (Transmittal 1) represents a reduction of $39,600, or 27 percent, compared to the agreement over the past three years. This reduction is a result of Media Relation's efforts to reduce costs. Thus, some services, such as less editing of broadcast clips and manual access to metrics as opposed to automated reports, have been negotiated into the agreement to reduce costs and instead will be performed by existing staff as needed. The Harbor Department is financially responsible for payment of expenses under the proposed agreement.

Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) find that the proposed action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Article II, Section 2(f), of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines as determined by the Director of Environmental Management; (2) find in accordance with Los Angeles City Charter Section 1022 that the scope of work of the proposed Agreement can be more economically and feasibly provided by an independent contractor than by Port employees; (3) approve the proposed agreement between the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department and Cision US Inc. to provide media monitoring services for a three-year term, with an annual compensation of $35,500, total not to exceed $106,500; (4) authorize the Executive Director to execute and the Board secretary to attest to the Agreement for and on behalf of the Board; and (5) adopt Resolution No.____________.

PBF is in the process of acquiring ExxonMobil's Torrance refinery and all associated logistics assets, including those related to this five-year Permit. Permit No. 704 grants ExxonMobil the right to use City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department) land, subsurface, and water areas at Berths 237-240D, and the parcels at 551 Pilchard Street on Terminal Island, for the construction, operation, and maintenance of a marine oil terminal and storage tanks. Permit No. 704 is currently on holdover, as its 25-year term expired on December 31, 2015. Permit No. 418 grants ExxonMobil the right to use Harbor Department land (surface and subsurface) for construction, maintenance and operation of subsurface pipelines and for purposes incidental thereto. Permit No. 418 is currently on holdover, as its 20-year term expired on June 30, 2000. Revocable Permit Nos. 1059, 1464, and 96-40 grant ExxonMobil use of Harbor Department property in various locations on Terminal Island for the construction, maintenance, and operation of directional signs, abandoned pipelines, and dust suppression landscaping strip. Environmental Conditions: The premises under the proposed Permit consist of adverse environmental conditions related to historic petroleum storage uses. The marine terminal portion of the site is subject to a Cleanup and Abatement Order (CAO) from the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) that includes active product recovery. Under the proposed Permit, the tenant will accept responsibility to remediate the premises in accordance with cleanup standards governed by the CAO. The current estimated remediation cost for the Permit premises is $50 million. Additionally, the Tenant is providing a Restoration Guaranty that will provide additional security to ensure remediation and restoration occurring in accordance with section 117 of the Permit in the case that the Permit is transferred to another party and remediation and restoration is required. The Restoration Guaranty provides security for restoration and remediation obligations in Section 117 of the Permit. The Guarantor obligations will become effective if the Tenant defaults on any Section 117 obligations or if the Premises do not receive clearance under the CAO from the RWQCB prior to the expiration. It is expected that the Permit will be transferred to PBF in the near future. In the case that the transfer occurs and the Harbor Department does not reach an agreement on a new long term permit for the premises with PBF, Section 117 obligations must be achieved prior to the end of the five year term of the Permit. If the obligations are not met, the Restoration Guaranty will become effective as discussed above.

Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) find that the proposed action is exempt from the requirements of the California Quality Act (CEQA) under Article III Class 1(14) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines as determined by the Director of Environmental Management; (2) approve the Permit with ExxonMobil Oil Corporation; (3) authorize the Executive Director to execute and the Board Secretary to attest to the successor Permit with ExxonMobil Oil Corporation; (4) adopt Resolution No.____________.

Transmittal 1
Transmittal 2
Transmittal 3

Summary: Staff requests that the Board of Harbor Commissioners (Board) approve a Level II non-appealable Coastal Development Permit (CDP) No. 16-09 to Hecate Energy LLC DBA Hecate Energy Harborside LLC (Hecate) for the installation of parking lot carports and photovoltaic systems at three locations 1) 22nd Street Park, 2) Liberty Plaza, and 3) Berth 161 Construction & Maintenance yard. On October 15, 2015, the Board approved the Operating Agreement between Hecate and the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department). The Operating Agreement provides for each photovoltaic system to be in service for a term of 20 years on site locations that include warehouse roofs, parking lots, and under-utilized ground areas. On March 17, 2016, the Board approved Resolution No. 16-7913 for the first amendment to the Operating Agreement modifying the installation sites and removing the ground-mount sites. Installation of solar panels on existing buildings does not require a CDP as outlined in the Port Master plan; however new construction of parking canopies will require a Level II CDP. Therefore, CDP No. 16-09 covers only the three parking lot canopy photovoltaic systems. The Harbor Department is not responsible for any construction or maintenance costs of the solar panels at the three carport locations.

Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) find that the proposed action is exempt from the requirements of CEQA under Public Resources Code Division 13, Section 21080.35 as determined by the Director of Environmental Management; (2) hold a public hearing for the proposed Coastal Development Permit No. 16-09, a Level II non-appealable permit; (3) find that the proposed project conforms with the Port of Los Angeles certified Port Master Plan and find that this project will have no significant adverse environmental impacts as provided in the Notice of Exemption prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act; (4) upon closure of the public hearing, resolve to approve the issuance of Coastal Development Permit No. 16-09, consistent with the project description listed on Application for Port Permit No. 151005-118, and direct the Director of Planning and Strategy to issue said permit; and (5) adopt Resolution No.____________.
