REPORT TO THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
PROJECT: LCP Certification Budget Amendment
SUMMARY: Budget Amendment BA -016 to reappropriate funds for the Local Coastal
Program Certification Process
SUGGESTED
ACTION: Authorize a budget amendment transferring $264,125.00 from General
Fund unappropriated reserves to Account 2710 -8080.
Background
Earlier this year, the City Council approved professional services agreements for technical studies
associated with the certification of the Local Coastal Program (LCP). At that time, staff informed
the City Council that a formal budget amendment might be necessary to appropriate General
Fund Reserves to cover these and other LCP certification expenditures.
Analysis
Staff is proposing a budget of $264,125.00 for the LCP certification process in FY 2002 -03. Most
of these funds are for the technical studies already authorized by the City Council: a biological
assessment ($68,000), a hazards assessment ($73,500.00), and a parking study ($25,000.00).
The amount for these studies in the budget estimate include the City Manager's authority to
approve additional work as required by the Coastal Commission not to exceed 25 percent of each
contract amount.
The City Council has also expressed an interest in retaining the law firm of Sheppard, Mullin,
Richter & Hampton to provide consulting services relating to negotiations with the Coastal
Commission. The estimated cost for these services in FY 2002 -03 is $35,000.00.
Staff is also proposing budgeting $10,000.00 for other consulting services, should the Coastal
Commission require additional studies or reports. Other potential expenditures included in the
budget are $5,000.00 for printing costs, $5,000.00 for staff overtime and $1,000.00 for travel.
The total budget is summarized below.
Technical Studies:
$208,125.00

$35,000.00
