Westrec's budget proposal for FY 2018/2019 continues to improve on past FY performance in both operating income and operating expense percentage ratio to total revenue thereby increasing net income. Westrec's proposed FY 2018/20109 budget continues an upward trend in revenue with a projected twenty-five percent increase from FY 2016/2017's actuals. The operating expense percentage ratio to total revenue is also expected to improve to 53 percent of total revenue down from 55 percent in FY 16/17, which continues a positive trend from previous years. Because 2017/2018 results are not yet available, actuals from the previous FY 2016/2017 were used for comparison and analysis purposes. The Agreement provides for the operation, management, and maintenance of the Cabrillo Way Marina (CWM) and its structures/facilities located in San Pedro on behalf of the Harbor Department. The Agreement has a five-year term (July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2018), with two five-year option periods to extend the term. The Agreement requires the Operator (Westrec), with input from the Harbor Department, to prepare an annual budget for operation of the marina for approval by the Harbor Department. The first proposed annual budget for FY 2013/2014 was approved at the Agreement's inception and was provided as an initial estimate of the proposed operating revenues and expenses. The subsequent annual operating budgets for FY 2014/2015 through FY 2017/2018 were previously approved by the Board. No Harbor Department funds are being requested for this proposed action.
Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) find that the proposed action is administratively 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 Westrec Marina Management, Inc. annual budget for Fiscal Year 2018/2019 under Agreement No. 13-3125; and (3) adopt Resolution No.____________.
