1. RESOLUTION NO.____________ - APPROVE REVOCABLE PERMIT NO. 16 - 6 BETWEEN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES HARBOR DEPARTMENT AND FAST LANE TRANSPORTATION, INC.

Transmittal 1

Summary: Staff requests approval of Revocable Permit (RP) No. 16-16 with Fast Lane Transportation, Inc. (Fast Lane), which stores, repairs, and processes containers for most major container leasing companies, shipping lines, and railroads in and around the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Fast Lane operates on approximately 50 acres of land, some of which is currently leased to Fast Lane by the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department).The proposed action will grant RP No. 16-16 to Fast Lane for use of 104,512 square feet (2.40 acres) of Harbor Department property for the storage of containers, which is currently in use by Fast Lane under a space assignment. The proposed premises are within close proximity to Fast Lane's other premises on Pacific Coast Highway in east Wilmington. Annual revenue in the first year will be $184,986.24 and will have stepped rent increases over the first two years administered at six-month intervals. The rental rate will be increased 74 percent over three years, after which rent will be adjusted annually by the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U).

Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) find that the proposed action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental 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 proposed Revocable Permit No. 16-16 with Fast Lane Transportation, Inc.; (3) authorize the Executive Director to execute and the Board Secretary to attest to the Revocable Permit; and (4) adopt Resolution No.____________.

Transmittal 1
Transmittal 2

Summary: Staff requests the Board of Harbor Commissioners (Board) approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) and the City of Los Angeles, Harbor Department (Department) for the expansion of the Metro Bike Share Program (Program). This MOU, if approved by the Board and the LACMTA Board of Directors, defines the respective roles and responsibilities of each agency to expand LACMTA's County-wide Metro Bike Share Program to include the Wilmington and San Pedro Waterfronts. The overall cost to expand the program to include the Wilmington and San Pedro Waterfronts is $824,280. LACMTA would contribute $334,640, and the Department would pay an equal amount to LACMTA of $334,640. The Department would also supply labor, site preparation, and signage valued at $155,000. The overall cost to operate and maintain the Program is $400,223 for Fiscal Year (FY) 2016/2017. LACMTA would contribute $140,078 in FY 2016/2017, and the Department would contribute $260,145 in FY 2016/2017. The term of the MOU is for three years with the option to extend the term for one renewal period consisting of an additional three years for a total of six years. We anticipate the Metro Bike Share Program will be operational along the Wilmington and San Pedro Waterfronts during Summer 2017.

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) approve the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority for a term of three years and authorize the Executive Director to approve one, three-year renewal option; (3) direct the Board Secretary to forward the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) for approval and full execution, and to receive and file the fully executed MOU from LACMTA; (4) direct the Board Secretary to transmit the Memorandum of Understanding to the City Council for approval pursuant to Charter Section 606 of the City Charter; (5) authorize the Executive Director to execute and Board Secretary to attest to said Memorandum of Understanding upon approval by City Council; and (6) adopt Resolution No.____________.
