5. RESOLUTION NO. ____________ - CERTIFICATION OF THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THE JOHN S. GIBSON TRUCK AND CHASSIS PARKING LOT PROJECT (LOS ANGELES HARBOR DEPARTMENT APPLICATION FOR PORT PERMIT NO. 230315-056; STATE CLEARINGHOUSE NO. 2023100743)

Summary: Staff requests approval of the Third Amendment to Subrecipient Agreement No. 20-3723 (Agreement) for the Port of Los Angeles Advanced Infrastructure Demonstration Project (Project) with West Basin Container Terminal (WBCT) and WAVE Wireless Charging LLC (WAVE). This Project is funded under a Grant Agreement with the California Energy Commission (CEC), Agreement No. 19-3666. A Fourth Amendment to Agreement No. 19-3666 was considered under a separate Board Action. The Third Amendment to Subrecipient Agreement No. 20-3723 will incorporate changes made under the Fourth Amendment to Grant Agreement No. 19-3666 with the CEC, to modify the Special Terms and Conditions (T&C) and extend the term of the Agreement until June 30, 2027 in order to complete the 12-month demonstration period and submit final reports. The no cost extension to the term of the Agreement and updated milestone dates within the T&C are due to commissioning and permitting delays impacting the timeline. Additionally, the CEC added two T&C regarding Russia Sanctions and Bankruptcy. All other terms and conditions of the Agreement remain the same.

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 Third Amendment to Agreement No. 20-3723 between the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department, West Basin Container Terminal and WAVE Wireless Charging, LLC for the Port of Los Angeles’ Advanced Infrastructure Demonstration Project; 3) direct the Board Secretary to transmit the Third Amendment to the City Council for approval pursuant to City Charter Section 606; 4) authorize the Executive Director to execute and the Board Secretary to attest to said Third Amendment to Agreement No. 20-3723 with West Basin Container Terminal and WAVE Wireless Charging, LLC for and on behalf of the Board; and 5) adopt Resolution No. __________.

6. RESOLUTION NO. ____________ - ADOPTION OF PORT MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 30 TO ADD THE MARITIME SUPPORT USE TO ONE LOCATION IN PLANNING AREA 2

Summary: Staff requests certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the John S. Gibson Truck and Chassis Parking Lot (Project) prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Pub. Resources Code, §§ 21000 et seq., CEQA Guidelines, § 1500 et. seq.). The proposed Project is located on privately owned land located at 1599 John S. Gibson Boulevard that is within the California Coastal Zone. The owner would like to develop the 18.41-acre site with a short-term truck and chassis parking facility and related site improvements. The privately owned land is located within the California Coastal Zone and consequently requires coastal development permitting. A portion of the site is located within the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department’s (Harbor Department) Port Master Plan (PMP) area, which is under the Harbor Department’s jurisdiction. The remaining portion of the site is under the coastal zone jurisdiction of the City of Los Angeles (City), who will also rely on this document when issuing their own Coastal Development Permit (CDP). The Harbor Department has been designated the Lead Agency under CEQA because a PMP Amendment is required to change the location’s designation under the PMP from Open Space to Maritime Support before a CDP can be issued for the Project. In this action, the Board of Harbor Commissioners (Board) will need to independently review and consider the adequacy of the Final EIR and, if deemed adequate under CEQA, certify the EIR and adopt a Findings of Fact (Findings), and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP). With the application of mitigation measures, the proposed Project would not result in significant impacts. Total cost associated with the review and oversight of the environmental document to date is estimated at $150,000. The applicant, Howard Industrial Partners LLC, is financially responsible for reimbursing the Harbor Department for all costs associated with the preparation of the environmental documents under Agreement No. 23-9967.

Recommendation: Board resolve to 1) certify that the Final Environmental Impact Report for the John S. Gibson Truck and Chassis Parking Lot Project (a) has been completed in compliance with CEQA (Public Resources Code §21000 et seq.), with the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. §15000 et. seq.), and the City of Los Angeles California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines; (b) was presented to the Board for independent review and the Board considered the information contained in the Final Environmental Impact Report prior to approving the proposed Project; and (c) reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department, and that all required procedures have been completed; 2) find that, in accordance with the information contained in the Final Environmental Impact Report, the proposed Project will have no significant environmental effects as defined by Public Resources Code Sections 21068 and 21082.2, and the State California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, Sections 15064, 15064.3, 15064.4, 15064.5, and 15382; 3) find that in accordance with the provisions of the CEQA Guidelines Section 15091(a)(1), changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the proposed Project, which substantially lessen or avoid the significant adverse environmental impacts identified in the Final Environmental Impact Report; 4) find that all information added to the Final Environmental Impact Report after public notice of the availability of the Draft Environmental Impact Report for public review but before certification, merely clarifies, amplifies, or makes insignificant modifications to an adequate Environmental Impact Report and recirculation is not necessary; 5) adopt the Findings of Fact; 6) adopt the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program as required by Public Resources Code, Section 21081.6. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program is designed to ensure compliance with the mitigation measures adopted to avoid or lessen significant effects on the environment, and identifies the responsibilities of the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department, as lead agency, to monitor and verify project compliance with those mitigation measures; 7) approve the proposed Project identified in the Environmental Impact Report including all feasible mitigation measures with consideration of the Findings of Fact and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; 8) authorize the Environmental Management Division to file a Notice of Determination with the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation and the Los Angeles County Clerk; and 9) adopt Resolution No. _______________.

7. RESOLUTION NO. ____________ - APPROVAL OF LETTER OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES HARBOR DEPARTMENT AND THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR FIREBOAT MAINTENANCE

Summary: Staff requests that the Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners (Board) consider all comments held at the February 12, 2026 public hearing for a proposed Port Master Plan (PMP) Amendment No. 30 (Amendment), adopt the Amendment, and authorize the Executive Director to submit the Amendment to the California Coastal Commission (Coastal Commission) for certification. The Amendment would modify the PMP Planning Area 2 – West Basin/Wilmington land use map by changing the land use designation for 16.2 acres of the hillside property north of John S. Gibson Boulevard (“JSG hillside”) from Open Space to Maritime Support. This property was found to be surplus property and was sold by the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department) with a covenant of sale permitting development consistent with maritime support uses. AIGGRE San Pedro Industrial Owner LLC (AIGGRE) proposes developing Port-adjacent hilltop property and the JSG hillside for the John S. Gibson Truck and Chassis Parking Lot Project (Project). The Project would be built on the flat land at the top of the hillside and a roadway would be built connecting the hilltop with John S. Gibson Boulevard. Before a Coastal Development Permit can be issued, the PMP must be amended to designate the JSG hillside for Maritime Support uses.

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(i) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines as determined by the Director of Environmental Management; 2) adopt Port Master Plan Amendment No. 30; 3) authorize the Executive Director to submit Port Master Plan Amendment No. 30 to the California Coastal Commission for Certification; and 4) adopt Resolution No._______________.

Debt & Financial Analysis

8. RESOLUTION NO. ____________ - ADOPTION OF PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2026/27 ANNUAL BUDGET

Summary: Staff requests approval of a Letter of Agreement (LOA) between the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department) and the City of Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) to establish a system to manage fireboat maintenance and the associated costs, including the implementation of a standardized inter-department review, approval, and reimbursement process. The proposed LOA is for a three-year term and shall automatically renew for additional three-year terms until the LOA is either terminated in writing by either party or reaches a term of 15 years. While the proposed LOA primarily establishes a system to manage fireboat maintenance and does not commit the Harbor Department to incurring a specific dollar amount for fireboat maintenance costs in any given year, staff anticipates incurring $2,000,000 in the first year of the proposed LOA to address deferred maintenance needs. The Harbor Department will be financially responsible for reimbursement of fireboat maintenance expenses incurred by LAFD, subject to review of related expenditure plans and actual expenses by Harbor Department staff.

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 Letter of Agreement between the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department and the City of Los Angeles Fire Department to establish a system to manage fireboat maintenance and the associated costs thereof, including the implementation of a standardized inter-department review, approval and reimbursement process for a three-year term with automatic renewals for additional three-year terms for a maximum term of 15 years or until terminated by either party; 3) authorize the Executive Director to execute, and the Board Secretary to attest to the proposed Letter of Agreement for and on behalf of the Board; and 4) adopt Resolution No. ____________.
