Summary: Staff requests the approval of three separate agreements between the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department) and 1) AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (AECOM), 2) NATEC International Inc. (NATEC), and 3) Safety Dynamics Group, Inc. (SDG) for as­ needed supplementary health and safety training and services. The proposed agreements with each firm are for a one-year period with two one-year extension options.

The Harbor Department is financially responsible for payment under the proposed agreements.
 
Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) find that the Director of Environmental Management has determined 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; (2) find that in accordance with the Los Angeles City Charter Section 1022, it is more feasible for outside consultants to perform this work than City employees; (3) award three professional services agreements to 1) AECOM, 2) NATEC, and 3) SDG for a term of up to three years each with an aggregate total of $360,000; (4) authorize the Executive Director to execute and the Board Secretary to attest; and (5) adopt Resolution No.____________.
 
Port Pilots
 
 
 
Summary: Staff requests approval of a second temporary order to temporarily amend the current Port of Los Angeles Tariff No. 4 (Tariff), Section Three, Item No. 330 – Charges for Pilotage.  The City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department) provides the piloting service that is required by all vessels, 300 gross tons and over, calling at the Port of Los Angeles.  Each vessel is subject to a tariff that is assessed on a vessel’s gross registered tons (GRT) and the length over all (LOA), plus a general assessment for capital improvements, maintenance and training (Surcharge per Move). The proposed amendment would: (i) incorporate a five-step increase, affecting all fee schedules related to pilotage; (ii) increase the 2nd pilot fee from 50% to 100%; and (iii) include a draft surcharge (Draft Surcharge) assessed to each vessel requiring pilotage at an initial level of $6.00 per foot.  Effective April 1, 2021, the GRT would increase to $0.00665, the fee attributable to LOA would initially increase by 5.6 percent, and the Surcharge per Move would increase to $110.88.  Effective, January 1, 2022, the Draft Surcharge would increase to $12.00 per foot, and all other fee schedules related to pilotage would again increase 5.6 percent. Effective, January 1, 2023, and each January 1, thereafter, all fees schedules related to pilotage would increase by 5.6 percent. During calendar year 2025, the Harbor Department will re-evaluate whether any additional fee increases would be necessary over the subsequent five-year period. At the March 18, 2021, Board meeting, the Board approved a Temporary and Permanent Order amending Port of Los Angeles Tariff No. 4, Item No. 330 – Charges for Pilotage. Changes in the Tariff require City Council approval. The City Council has not calendared and approved the Permanent Order and Ordinance. Therefore, a second Temporary Order is proposed to allow additional time for the Permanent Order to pass through the City Council approval process. This second Temporary Order, if approved, will expire in 90 days after the day it is published or upon execution of the Permanent Order by the City Council, whichever occurs first.
 
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) approve the Amendment to the Port of Los Angeles Tariff No. 4, to revise Section Three Pilotage, Item Nos. 330 (b), (d), (e), (f), and (g), and add Item No. 330 (h) for draft surcharge, subject to the California Association of Port Authorities’ review and approval, and authorize the Executive Director to work with the California Association of Port Authorities to secure this approval or proceed to take independent action in accordance with the California Association of Port Authorities procedure; (3) adopt Temporary Order No. ______ - to amend Section Three Pilotage. Item Nos. 330 (b), (d), (e), (f), (g), and add Item No. 330 (h) to include a draft surcharge in the Port of Los Angeles Tariff No. 4; (4) authorize the Board Secretary to certify to the adoption of the 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 (5) adopt Resolution No.___________.

Summary: Staff requests approval of a second temporary order amending Port of Los Angeles Tariff No. 4 (Tariff), Section Three, Item No. 370 – Vessel Traffic Service User Fees (VTSUF).  The Marine Exchange of Southern California (MX) operates a Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) that monitors vessel traffic within and approaches to the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach (the Ports).  The VTS provides mariners with timely, relevant, and accurate information for the purpose of safe, secure, efficient, reliable, and environmentally sound maritime transportation.  VTSUF are assessed on a monthly basis for local vessels such as tugs and tows, ferries, commercial rescue and emergency vessels, and whale watch boats.  For non-local entry vessels, VTSUF are assessed based upon a vessel’s gross tons (GT) and length over all (LOA) upon arrival at the Ports.  Currently, monthly VTSUF on local vessels range from $30 - $355 per month.  VTSUF on non-local entry vessels currently range from $236 - $500 per visit based upon LOA, and non-local entry vessels also pay an additional tonnage fee of $0.0032 per GT per visit.  Non-local entry vessels with an LOA of 340 meters or more are currently subject to the maximum LOA fee of $500 per visit. Effective April 1, 2021, the proposed amendment would increase the VTSUF range on local vessels on a one-time basis by anywhere from $5 to $40 to a proposed range of $35 - $395 per month. For non-local entry vessels, the proposed amendment would apply an annual 10.5% increase to LOA and GT fees, effective each April 1 for three years.  In addition, the maximum LOA fee would be applied to non-local entry vessels with an LOA of 335 meters or more.  After the proposed three (10.5% each) increases are applied, by April 1, 2023, the LOA fee range would increase to $318 - $675 per visit (relative to the current $236 - $500 per visit).  In addition, the GT fee in effect as of April 1, 2023, would be $0.0043 (relative to the current $0.0032 per GT). As VTSUF are paid directly to MX, there is no financial impact to the Harbor Department associated with this action. During calendar year 2023, the Marine Exchange will re-evaluate whether any additional fee increases would be necessary over the subsequent five-year period. At the February 18, 2021, Board meeting, the Board approved a Temporary and Permanent Order amending Port of Los Angeles Tariff No. 4, Item No. 370.  Changes in the Tariff require City Council approval.  The City Council has not calendared and approved the Permanent Order and Ordinance.  Therefore, a second Temporary Order is proposed to allow additional time for the Permanent Order to pass through the City Council approval process. This second Temporary Order, if approved, will expire 90 days after the day it is published or upon execution of the Permanent Order by the City Council, whichever occurs first.
 
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) approve the Amendment to the Port of Los Angeles Tariff No. 4, revising Section Three Pilotage, Item No. 370 – Vessel Traffic Service User Fees, subject to the California Association of Port Authorities’ review and approval, and authorize the Executive Director to work with California Association of Port Authorities to secure this approval or proceed to take independent action in accordance with the California Association of Port Authorities procedure; (3) adopt Temporary Order No. ______ - to amend Section Three Pilotage, Item No. 370, Vessel Traffic Service User Fees in the Port of Los Angeles Tariff No. 4; (4) authorize the Board Secretary to certify to the adoption of the 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 (5) adopt Resolution No.____________.
 
Cargo & Industrial Real Estate
 
 
 
Summary: Staff requests approval of a third Temporary Order for amendments to Port of Los Angeles (Port) Tariff No. 4 (Tariff), Section Eight, which updates the space assignment rates, terms and conditions. The third Temporary Order is required until the Permanent Order is approved by the Los Angeles City Council. Space assignments are granted by the Executive Director for use of covered areas, paved and unpaved land, and water space for non-exclusive use by current or new tenants on a short-term entitlement. The space assignment rates were last updated in October 2005 and are below current market rates. These amendments increase the space assignment rates over the next several years to  market level by January 1, 2022, and then match any increases to the Consumer Price Index after 2022 with a minimum two percent increase every January 1. Other changes include increasing the minimum charge, adding charges for fencing and utility use, and ensuring appropriate environmental review for each assignment.  The first increase was effective January 1, 2021, with set increases each January 1 thereafter.
 
Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) find that the Director of Environmental Management has determined 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 City of Los Angeles CEQA Guidelines; (2) approve amendments to Port of Los Angeles Tariff No. 4, Section Eight, Space Assignments, as confirmed by the California Association of Port Authorities; (3) adopt Temporary Order No.__________ to amend Port of Los Angeles Tariff No. 4, Section Eight, Space Assignments; (4) authorize the Board Secretary to certify the adoption of the Temporary Order by the Board of Harbor Commissioners and cause the same to be published in a daily 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 (5) adopt Resolution No.____________.

Environmental Management
 
 
 
Summary: Staff requests approval of the proposed grant Subrecipient Agreement (Agreement) between the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department) and Pasha Stevedoring & Terminals, L.P. (Pasha) to continue implementation of the Green Omni Terminal Project (Project) at Pasha through December 2021. The Project is funded by a Multi-Source Facility Grant, awarded to the Harbor Department by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and approved by the Board of Harbor Commissioners (Board) in May 2016. In April 2020, the Board approved an amendment to the CARB grant agreement (Agreement 16-3395-C) to extend the Project term and modify the Project milestones and disbursement schedule as recommended by CARB. The proposed Agreement is required at this time because the initial Subrecipient Agreement approved in May 2016 has since expired. Furthermore, the proposed Agreement will include the updated Project milestones and disbursement schedule to align with the CARB grant agreement. The Harbor Department will continue to be responsible for staff time under the proposed Agreement.
 
Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) find that the Director of Environmental Management has determined 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; (2) approve the proposed Agreement with Pasha Stevedoring & Terminals, L.P. to continue to implement the Green Omni Terminal Project; (3) authorize the Executive Director to execute and the Board Secretary to attest to said Agreement with Pasha Stevedoring & Terminals, L.P. for and on behalf of the Board; and (4) adopt Resolution No._____________.

The Department will be financially responsible for the payment of expenses under the First Amendment.

Waterfront & Commercial Real Estate
 
 
 
Summary: Staff requests approval of the annual budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 for operation of Cabrillo Way Marina (CWM) by Westrec Marina Management, Inc. (Westrec) under Agreement No. 13-3125 (Agreement).  Westrec’s proposed FY 2022 revenue of $6,784,489 represents an increase of 4.0 percent from FY 2021 approved revenues of $6,524,775.  During FY 2020, wet slip occupancy increased to 573 (from 526 in FY 2019) which implied an occupancy rate of 82.8 percent, up from 76.0 percent reported in the previous year. The current 82.8 percent occupancy rate is consistent with the local market within the Port of Los Angeles marinas, which ranges from 64 – 98 percent occupancy.  FY 2022 proposed total expenses of $3,500,794 represent a 4.4 percent increase from the FY 2021 approved expenses of $3,353,687 due to living wage adjustments, additional staffing needs, required dock maintenance and repair costs, and an increased need for landscaping and refuse collection. FY 2022 proposed net income of $3,283,695 is expected to represent an increase of 3.6 percent, from the FY 2021 approved net income of $3,171,088 and a 12.4 percent increase over FY 2020 actual of $2,921,792. The resulting FY 2022 proposed net profit margin of 48.4 percent is consistent with FY 2021 approved margin of 48.6 percent and higher than FY 2020 actual net profit margin of 47.1 percent.  The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all marina operators and operations. Increased boater presence has led to increased operational expenses from staffing, refuse collection, pest control and other contracted services.
 
Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) find that the Director of Environmental Management has determined 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; (2) approve the Westrec Marina Management, Inc. annual budget for Fiscal Year 2022 under Agreement No. 13-3125; and (3) adopt Resolution No.____________.
