Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Administrative Officer reports that approval of the proposed Twelfth Amendment to Permit No. 733 between the POLA and FMS will enable the POLA to undertake construction of the Berths 302-305 On-Dock Rail Yard Expansion Project (Project). The total Project cost is $51,900,000, of which, $37,378,743 will be funded through State and Federal grants secured by the POLA. The POLA will be financially responsible for up to $27,551,257 in costs including $14,521,257 of Project-related costs in excess of grant funds, rent credits to FMS not-to-exceed $10,230,000, and liquidated damages to FMS in the form of rent credits not-to-exceed $2,800,000. These costs are budgeted and will be expended through the Harbor Revenue Fund 702 potentially over four fiscal years: Fiscal Year 2024-25 through FY 2027-28. Compensation under provisions of the Permit for the current premises remain unchanged with a Minimum Annual Guarantee revenue of $62.93M per year and a Fixed Rent revenue of $4.36M annually, subject to annual adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The proposed Amendment will add additional Fixed Rent revenue, subject to annual CPI adjustments, of $806,400 in Year 1 after the Project is completed, which is estimated to be in 2027. All receipts will be deposited in the Harbor Revenue Fund No. 702. The recommendations in this report and proposed actions comply with the POLA’s Financial Policies.

   1.

   2. Conduct stakeholder engagement that provides recommendations to improve equity and environmental justice outcomes.
       
   3. Maintain the threshold for compliance at buildings larger than 20,000 square feet as this aligns with the existing Existing Buildings Energy and Water Efficiency Program (EBEWE) requirements, and targeting larger buildings, provides the most cost-effective impact.
       
   4. Provide time extensions and exemptions for compliance with the Building Performance Standards (BPS) for multi-family dwellings with affordable housing, rent stabilized buildings, buildings under financial distress (to be defined), small businesses, and other building types to be identified during stakeholder outreach.

   6. Amend the existing EBEWE program to implement the agreed upon BPS, reduction targets, and compliance pathways necessary to equitably achieve the City's Green New Deal goals for energy and carbon reductions. Amendments will also include extensions of time, exemptions, and a compliance schedule.
       
   7. Identify the number of affordable units that might be affected.
       
   8. Report on the number/cost of penalties and any necessary fee studies to ensure cost recovery to implement this program.
       
   9. Compare actions from the cities’ existing-building decarbonization strategy; i.e. San Francisco (given the same California State laws) and New York (given the changed legal landscape).
       
   10. Revise and update the EBEWE Ordinance in order to align with a new existing-building decarbonization policy, reduce the need for LADBS staffing related to EBEWE, and minimize the compliance burden for building owners addressed by any new building decarbonization ordinance.
2. NOTE and FILE the Climate Emergency Mobilization Commission report dated October 12, 2022, attached to the Council file.
