Summary: Staff requests Board of Harbor Commission (Board) approval of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department) and the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) to clearly define each party’s roles concerning the use of information captured by the Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) cameras located within the overlapping jurisdiction.  The sharing of ALPR data furthers collaboration between the Los Angeles Port Police (Port Police) and the LAPD in enabling broader search coverage across jurisdictional lines. The intent of the MOA is to memorialize the understanding between the Harbor Department and the LAPD regarding the terms of this agreement, along with each party’s specific roles. The term of the proposed MOA shall commence upon execution by all parties and continue for three years.  Approval of the proposed MOA will not result in additional expenses being incurred by the Harbor Department.

Summary: Staff requests approval of the proposed Industrial Temporary Entry and Use Permit No. 1863 (TEUP 1863) with Kinder Morgan Tank Storage Terminals LLC (Kinder Morgan) for 16 groundwater monitoring wells and 8 injection wells located at or near Berth 120. The wells were installed on or about November 2015, as required by the litigation settlement agreement in City of Los Angeles v. Kinder Morgan Liquids Terminals LLC et al. and the First Amendment to Permit No. 708 between the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department) and Kinder Morgan.  The First Amendment provided terms for return of the remediated property to the Harbor Department and stated the tenant would be provided access to monitoring wells on the vacated landed parcel with no rental charge. However, no separate entitlement was issued for the monitoring wells after the remediated land was returned to the Harbor Department. The proposed TEUP 1863 will entitle Kinder Morgan to install, operate, and maintain 16 groundwater monitoring wells and 8 injection wells at the site.  No annual compensation will be imposed on TEUP 1863 consistent with the First Amendment to Permit No. 708.

 

Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) Find that the Director of Environmental Management has determined that the proposed action is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Article III Class 1(14) and Class 3(4) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines; (2) Approve Temporary Entry and Use Permit No. 1863 with Kinder Morgan Tank Storage Terminals LLC; (3) Authorize the Executive Director to execute and the Board Secretary to attest to Temporary Entry and Use Permit No. 1863; and (4) Adopt Resolution No. ______________.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Summary: Staff requests approval of the Second Amended and Restated Quitclaim Deed (Second Amendment) between the United States of America, through the Secretary of Transportation, as delegated to the Maritime Administration (MARAD) and the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department). This action concerns former U.S. Navy (Navy) property referred to as Site 6A which is located north of the intersection of North Seaside Avenue and Navy Way on Terminal Island and a portion of the Navy Mole. MARAD transferred the property to the Harbor Department in October 2000 under a no-cost, port-related, public benefit conveyance. The proposed Second Amendment will allow MARAD, on behalf of the Navy, to reserve an easement at Site 6A for two existing fuel pipelines.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Summary: Staff requests approval of a third Temporary Order to amend Port of Los Angeles (Port) Tariff No. 4, (Tariff No. 4) amending Section Twenty-Five, “Container Excess Dwell Fee”.  A Container Excess Dwell Fee will be assessed to the ocean common carriers (OCCs) for each discharged container transported under their bill of lading that dwells on a Port terminal beyond a prescribed period depending on the modality of the container. The assessment and collection of this fee shall commence upon notice provided by the Executive Director at a public meeting of the Board. Both the Port, and the Port of Long Beach independently pursued initiatives to implement fee structures. Initiatives were developed in coordination with the Biden-Harris Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force, U.S. Department of Transportation and multiple supply chain stakeholders. Under this proposed Tariff No. 4 amendment, the Port will continue to have the authority to assess a fee for container excess dwell time, payable by OCCs responsible for discharging the specific containers. For containers scheduled to move by truck (local) and by rail (intermodal), OCCs would be charged for every container dwelling nine days or more following vessel discharge of $100 per container, increasing in $100 increments per container per day of excess dwell time beyond the prescribed period. The amount of fees to be generated under the proposed Amendment is currently unknown given the reduction in dwell times observed since the original Temporary Order was initially approved in October 2021. The goal of this initiative is to continue the reduction in dwell time on both intermodal and local containers stored within a Port terminal. The first Temporary Order expired on April 29, 2022, and the second Temporary Order is set to expire on July 28, 2022; therefore, a third Temporary Order is required to continue consideration of the dwell fee.

 

Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) Find that the Director of Environmental Management has determined that the proposed action is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Article III Class 1(31) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines; (2) Adopt Temporary Order No._______   to amend Port of Los Angeles Tariff No. 4 adding Section Twenty-Five, “Container Excess Dwell Fee”; (3) Authorize the Board Secretary to certify the adoption of a Temporary Order by the Board of Harbor Commissioners and cause the same to be published once in a newspaper printed and published in the City of Los Angeles, to take effect prior to adoption by Ordinance for a period not-to-exceed 90 days pursuant to City Charter Section 653(b); and (4) Adopt Resolution No. ______________.
