SR-300-002-01-01 'f . . 3tJt'J - t?d?'2~o/-o/l' - A MAl-819M C/ED:CD:BS:wp CouncIl MeetIng 5/8/84 Santa Monica, CalifornIa S--A MAY 2 2 1!1i4 TO: Mayor and CIty Council FROM: CIty Staff SUBJECT: RecommendatIon to Approve Agreement and Allocate Funds for Purchase and RehabIlItation of Property at 922 Broadway and 1501 9th Street for CommunIty SerVices Center INTRODUCTION ThIS report summarIzes the hIstory of the proposed communIty serVIces center proJect, origInally approved by the CIty CouncIl as a part of the CIty'S CommunIty Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, and recommends the purchase and rehabIlitatIon of property at 9th and Broadway to house a number of socIal serVice agencIes provIdIng Important serVIces to the communIty. The report further requests that CouncIl approprIate $1.99 mIllIon from the City's General Fund CapItal Reserve to supplement the prevIously allocated $508,000 avaIlable from the CDBG program. BACKGROUND As CouncIl IS aware, the InItIal CDBG proJect for a multiservice center to house a number of socIal serVIce agencIes has undergone several modIfIcatIons In scope and type of proJect SInce ItS ~-" HAY 2 2 1984 InceptIon In 1979. Proposals have been developed for constructIon of a new faCIlIty on numerous sItes and for rehabIlitatIon of eXIstIng structures In varIous locations In Santa MonIca. The (l-A impetus for thIS long search by communi ty agencIes and CI ty staff MAY - 8 19M 1 " " . . . was, and contInues to be, the crItIcal need to secure permanent, affordable space for socIal serVIce provIders In order to ensure that those most In need -- IncludIng lower Income indIviduals and famIlIes, the dIsabled and the elderly -- contInue to receive these Important serVIces. I. Assessment of Need The pressures faced by thIS communIty's social serVIce organIzatIons are increasIng -- tradItional sources of fundIng contInue to decrease; Increased demand for serVIces due to the country's economIC condItIons has resulted in hIgher demands for staff and resources to meet the needs of IndIVIduals affected by these condItIons; general operatIng costs have rIsen due to InflatIonary pressures and market condItIons experIenced by all provIders In the community. To the great credIt of our communlty's provIders, these pressures have been borne not only WIthout a reduction In service but many tImes with an expanded serVIce to meet crItIcal and pressIng needs. These pressures to continue and also expand serVIces, coupled WIth the Increased cost of operatIons, has resulted In a very urgent need for many of these agencIes -- the need for stable, affordable space from WhICh to operate. Confronted with the task of locatIng space in Santa MonIca, agenCIes have been contInually frustrated WI th not only finding facilItIes in general, but fIndIng space that is accessIble to their clIents, affordable gIven the organIzation's fIscal 2 ~ . . . . constraints, and that will provide a certaIn tenure for the organIzatIon. The followIng scenarIOS provIde several examples of agencies recently or currently In thIS sItuatIon. These examples do not necessarIly Imply that these agencIes would be located In the proposed facilIty, however they are Intended to pOInt to the urgency of thIS problem for many organIzatIons and the IneVitability of these situations occurlng for other organIzations In the future. SenIor Health and Peer CounselIng Center - Over 8,000 senIors are served by thIS program each year, receIving important preventIve health serVIces and counseling support. Currently the Center receIves in-kind space and rented space from St. John's HospItal. However, thIS space IS not adequate for thIS program and the Center fInds Itself In the pOSItIon of haVIng to schedule meetIng rooms for group counselIng seSSIons In other locatIons, often makIng attendance for some senIors dIffIcult. In addItIon, St. John's IndIcates that tenure at the current locatIon IS uncertain, pendIng fInalIzation of the HospItal's plans for expansion. The Center has been trYIng to fInd new faCIlItIes for over a year and has yet to locate a SUItable property with the correspondIng fInancIal resources to support It. Westslde Independent SerVIces to the Elderly (WISE) - WISE prOVIdes a range of serVIces to Santa MonIca's elderly populatIon InclUdIng nursing home ombudsman serVIces, case management, day care for the fraIl elderly, and senior shared hOUSIng placement. ThIS organIzatIon has moved four tImes In the last eIght years. These moves were necessItated eIther by a loss of lease to a hIgher-paYIng tenant or Inadequate space for expandIng programs. Currently WISE operate from three separate loca- tIons, makIng coordInated serVIce delIvery diffIcult. WISE staff is actIvely purSUIng opportunItIes to consolIdate Its programs Into one faCIlIty. ADEPT (AssistIng the DIsabled WIth Employment, Placement, TraInIng) - SInce the InceptIon of ADEPT's Santa MonIca Program two years ago, the program has made several moves to varIOUS locations In an effort to fInd In-kInd offIce space. However, the current fIrm provldlng space to ADEPT has notifIed them of tentatIve plans to relocate to other facilities. Therefore, ADEPT must locate alternatIve In- kInd or low rent space elsewhere. GIven the need for com- pletely accessIble faCIlItIes and locatIon, this search to 3 ~ ~ . . . date has not yet been successful. CLARE (Senlo~ Alcohol Recove~y Program) - Currently thIS program, servIng recoverIng senior citIzens, IS temporarIly housed Inthe second floor of a bUIlding not accessIble to the dIsabled or frail elde~ly. Acutely aware of the need for accessible space, CLARE staff has made relocatIon a top priorIty. However to date, they have only been able to secure accessIble space one day a week at another senIor agency In the community. New Start - After offerIng drug counselIng services for youth and adults from an older facilIty for a number of years, three years ago New Start was notIfIed that the commercIal landlord of the property would be USIng the faCILItIes for expanSIon of ItS own bUSIness. After lookIng for over one year, New Start found faCILItIes on a year to year lease. However, since that tIme, the owner has put the property on the market and has IndIcated hIS prefe~ence to sell, dependIng on market condItIons. New Start staff expresses frustratIon that It IS unable to sign a longer term lease fo~ any SIte due to the annual nature of funding for ItS program and that a hIgh level of dIrect serVIce staff tIme has been devoted to thIS actIVIty over the last several years. Ocean Park CommunIty Center - Counseling Program - Over 220 IndIVIduals and famILIes receive ongOIng, professional counselIng at opec's small facilIty. GIven the confIdentIal and senSItIve nature of thIS type of support, OPCC staff IS fIndIng It extremely dIffIcult to meet current levels WIthIn thIS lImIted space. Efforts to fInd additIonal In- kInd or low-cost space have not yet resulted In any VIable optIons. FamIly SerVIce of Santa MonIca and ConnectIons for ChIldren- SharIng faCIlItIes owned by FamIly SerVIce, these two dIrect serVIce agencies have waged a constant battle WIth crowded and deterIorating faCIlItIes. Unable to house all staff In the maIn bUIldIng, ConnectIons for ChIldren has several staff members In a trailer adJacent to the bUIlding. In addItIon, due to the age and conditIon of buildIng's electrical system, ConnectIons for Children IS not able to partICIpate In a statewide, computerIzed Information and referral system that would greatly enhance Its serVIce to famIlIes In need of chlldcare. Both agenCIes have been actively searching for alternatIve or Improved facilitIes and have not resolved these problems to date. LatIno Resource OrganIzatIon, NeIghborhood Justice Center, WestsIde Legal SerVIces - These three organIzatIons share a lImIted amount of space on the Santa MonIca Mall. Due to the confIdentIal nature of legal serVIces, these crowded faCIlities make It very dIffIcult to conduct confIdentIal clIent InterVIews. LRO's locatIon, on the second floor, 4 . ., ~ . . IS not easIly vISIble or accessIble to the publIC, and gIven the lImIted amount of space avaIlable for the program makes the additIon or expansion of serVIces to the LatIno residents very dIffIcult. In order to ensure that these and other SOCIal serVIces are maIntaIned In thIS communIty in the long-term, the CIty CounCIl and CIty staff have assessed ways that the CIty could aSSIst In addreSSIng thls need. The following sectIon outlInes recent actIVItIes In dOIng so. II. Summary of the CIty'S Response to CrItical Space Problems RespondIng to these identIfIed needs, the CIty has used CDBG funds to purchase propertIes (for Fraternal Endeavors and Stepping Stone) and to rehabIlItate prIvately-owned faCIlItIes (OPCC, Westslde Legal SerVIces, CLARE, Los Angeles ChIldbIrth Center) In order to address partIcular space needs of IndIVIdual agenCIes. However, In order to Impact the broader SOCIal serVIce network In a cost effectIve way, the CIty contInued to assess the pOSSIbILIty of a multI-serVIce or communIty serVIce faCIlity -- a project origInally InitIated by community-based organIzatIons and supported for many years by a range of agencies. ThIS assessment by CIty staff resulted In the reaffirmatIon of three baSIC development concepts for such a proJect: o The project must be large enough to house a number of agenCIes In order to meanIngfully address the space and rent problems experIenced by the network of communIty serVIce agenCIes In Santa MonIca. o The center must be located In an area WhIch IS proXlmate to current and potentIal users, In partlcular lower Income reSIdents, and acceSSIble by public transportatIon. 5 ~ . . . o The physIcal layout must allow for the cooperatlve use of common areas In order to promote Inter-organIzatIonal actIvItIes by tenant agencIes. Based on input receIved from interested agencIes and non-profIt organIzatIons over the course of the project, CIty staff developed the followIng proJect specIfIcatIons to more clearly defIne the proJect development concepts. These specifIcatIons guided subsequent sIte procurement actIvItIes: o SIze: Must be between 10,000 - 17,000 square feet to house four to seven agencIes. o LocatIon: Downtown or Mall area preferred because of convenIence to walk-In clIents. Must be on or close to a major bus lIne. Must be compatIble WIth surroundIng uses. Must be WIthIn the CIty lImIts. o Space Arrangement: Must have, or be able to be modI- f~ed, to Include space for reception and waitIng areas, common offIce eqUIpment area, large conference room, small counseling and meeting rooms, and offIces and work areas for staff. o ParkIng: Must have adequate on-SIte or off-site park- Ing for staff and clIents. o AcceSSIbIlIty: All offIce spaces must be fully acces- sIble to wheelchaIr users. At least one men's and one women's restroom on each floor must be acceSSIble to wheelchaIr users. o RelocatIon: The acqUISItIon of an eXIstIng bUIldIng WIth CDBG funds wIll be subJect to the reqUIrements of the UnIform Relocation and Real Property ACqUISI- tIon Act. SItes that would not require relocatIon of commerCIal tenants were deemed preferable. ACqUISI- tIon of rental unIts was also deemed inadVIsable due to low vacancy rates In the rental hOUSIng market. o ComplIance WIth Local Codes: All rehabIlitatIon or new construction work must comply wlth local bUIldIng or zoning codes, lncludIng applIcable seIsmIC codes. Based on these speCIfIcatIons, CIty staff conducted an extensive search over the course of the last year for bUIldIngs for 6 ~ r . . purchase and rehabIlItatIon or for SItes for new constructIon. ThIS search was conducted wIth the assumptIon that the project was to be Implemented WI thIn prevIously allocated revenues for thIS effort. ApproXImately ten potentIally SUItable bUIldIngs or SItes were examIned. The total acqUISItIon and rehabilItatIon or constructIon prIces for these ranged from $1.1 million to $3.3 mIllIon, dependIng upon SIze, condItIon and locatIon. Evaluated In conSIderation of agency rent lImItatIons, operatIng expenses, and avaIlable fInanCIng opportunitIes, the shortfall between the total acquiSItIon and rehabIlItatIon costs and the avaIlable CIty resources (the CDBG allocatIon and a mortgage) ranged from approXImately $1.4 to $2.66 mIllion. The varIance between the current CDBG allocatIon and the actual CIty contributIon WhICh would be needed to complete thIS project was verIfied by two subsequent efforts undertaken by staff. First, an InItial offer structured to mInlInlze further contrIbutIons by the CIty waS submitted for a property located at 922 Broadway which was flatly refused by the owner. The second and more SIgnIfIcant actIVIty was the Issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP) to Interested for-profIt and non profIt developers for the rehabilItatIon, construction, lease or sale of a bUIldIng meeting the proJect specifIcatIons noted above. The eXIstIng CDBG allocation was offered to SUbSIdize development costs. The RFP also IndIcated that proposals necessitatIng a hlgher amount of CIty support could be conSIdered If proJect characteristICS and budget Justlfled Increased expense. The purpose of ISSUIng an RFP was twofold: {a) to dIscover potential 7 .. .. . . alternatIves not yet explored by staff; and (h) to provIde a formal process to consIder Informal proposals inItiated outside any formal compet~tIve process. Th~s process generated the submIssIon of two proposals by non- prof~t agenCIes which are described In further deta~l in Attachment A to this report. The Pico NeIghborhood AssociatIon's proposal required from $1.475 to $2.163 mIllIon In total City support dependIng upon the structure of the fInancial package. FamIly SerVIce of Santa MonIca also prepared a new constructIon proposal for a smaller proJect WhICh would reqUIre from $830,000 to $981,000 In total CIty support, dependIng upon the fInanCIng approach. As a contIngency proJect, staff also resubmItted on offer on the 922 Broadway SIte, contIngent upon Counc~l approval, WhICh also relIed upon more extenSIve CIty support. No responses to the Request for the Proposals were submItted by proflt- motIvated indIviduals or firms. Staff then conducted an extenSIve analYSIS of the three alternatIve SItes and development programs, resultIng In the staff recommendatIon that the SIte located at 922 Broadway best addresses the three programmatIC concepts of the project; I.e., (l) that the proJect house a number of agenCIes; {2} that the proJect ~s accessible to current and potentIal users; and (3) that the phys~cal layout promotes Inter-organIzatIonal actIVItIes and sharIng of resources. In addItIon, staff determIned that thIS SIte best met the addItIonal physical proJect speCIficatIons descrIbed earlIer In thIS report. PrOJected rental rates, tIme requIred to Implement the proJect, the utlllty of the structure, 8 of. ~ . . possIble supplemental uses on the same sIte, and conformance wIth the City's proposed Land Use Element were also considered In thIS assessment. WhIle staff IS recommendIng this partIcular site, the resources and tIme that went into the submIsSIon of the two alternatIve proposals have not gone unnotIced. The commItment of the PICO NeIghborhood ASSocIatIon and Family SerVIce of Santa MonIca to thIS concept IS certaInly appreciated. PROPOSED COMMUNITY SERVICES CENTER I. Goal Statement The primary purpose of the proposed CommunIty SerVIces Center IS to allow for the surVIval of community serVIce agencIes 1 n Santa MonIca by provIdIng stabl e, affordable fac 11 i tIes from WhICh they can provIde Important serVIces to those In need -- includIng the communIty's senIor, low income, mlnorlty and dIsabled residents. If thIS proJect achIeves only this goal, CIty support IS JustIfiable and warranted gIven the VUlnerabIlIty of eXIstIng agencIes to IncreaSIng market competItIon for commercIal space In thIS communIty. In addItIon, the project IS Intended to promote the coordInated delivery of socIal serVIces to Santa MonIca reSIdents through the creatIve sharIng of resources by tenant agencIes. WhIle preserVIng the IndiVIdual nature of each organIzatIon, the Center WIll also serve to increase the effectIveness of the combIned programs through thIS mutual cooperatIon. II. DescrIptIon of Proposed CommunIty SerVIces Center Of the SItes and bUIldings surveyed, a bUIlding located at 9 . . . . 922 Broadway and 1501 9th Street offered the best opportun~ty to address the proJect goals descrIbed above. The bUIlding is 14,452 square feet and IS situated on a 30,000 square foot lot. The slte IS also Improved wIth a 43 space parkIng lot. The office bUIldIng, formerly the headquarters of the A & W CorporatIon, reqUIres a moderate level of rehabIlitation to prOVIde offIces, conference rooms and receptIon areas for tenant agenCIes. The rehab program WIll prImarily Involve bathroom remodelIng for accessIbilIty, moving non-structural walls, addIng a one-story elevator to second floor offIce space, and InstallatIon of tenant ~mprovement$. The bUIldIng has three entrances and a varIety of space arrangements that could eaSIly be adapted to IndIvidual agency needs. An Interior courtyard prOVIdes for the opportunIty of InterestIng common areas as well as effICIent space for program actIVItIes. The property IS In the pico NeIghborhood and IS conven~ent to the downtown area. If purchased by the CIty as proposed, It WIll be held as a communIty serVIces faCIlity In perpetUIty. The total development costs, as detaIled In Attachment B, are est~mated at $2,501,040, WIth $2,150,000 for acqUISItion and the remaIning $361,040 for rehabIlItation. ThIS IS equivalent to $173.05 per square foot for useable, acceSSIble bUIldIng space -- a cost competItive WIth that of the other proposalS receIved. III. FInanCIal Plan In evaluatIng pOSSIble fInanCIal plans for thIS proJect, 10 --------- --- ~-------~--------- ~ . . . staff considered the following optIons (a) all cash purchase, (b) cash plus conventIonal fInancIng, and (c) cash plus a tax exempt note. ThIS analysIs IndIcated that the amount of capital WhICh could be raIsed under the latter two alternatives (ranging from $370',00'0' to $400,(00) had signfIcant monetary and programmatIc costs WhIch would not be JustIfIed by the modest leverage ratIO whIch could be achIeved through borrOWIng. BorrOWIng agaInst revenues Introduces complexity to the proJect's fInanCIng and management structure WhICh could Involve extensive use of outSIde counsel and would undenIably further delay the Implementation of the project. Furthermore, In order to raIse suffICIent revenues to support even a modest loan, agenCIes would have to pay $1.00/square foot In monthly rents, rather than the rent of $.75/square foot used In the proposed fInanCIal plan. From an Investment analYSIS perspective, thIS project has extremely good potential for development of the parkIng lot parcel to Increase revenues to the project and/or prOVIde opportunitIes for development of affordable housing for dIsabled or senIors WIth support from HUD's SectIon 202 program. Staff has analyzed the development potentIal of the SIte and glven Its locatIon In the proposed Broadway mlxed-used corrldor It could be successfully developed as hOUSIng or commercIal property, whIle stIll preservIng needed parkIng for the adjacent faCIlIty. IV. Summary of Purchase Agreement Terms The attached Purchase Agreement and Escrow InstructIons (Attachment C) between the CIty and UnIted Brands Company 11 . . Indicates that the CIty agrees to purchase the proposed Site for $2,150,000.00, all cash, wIth the followIng conditions: o The City CouncIl approves the sIgned Purchase Agree- ment and Escrow InstructIons wIthin forty-five days of May 2, 1984. o The Seller's Board of DIrectors ratIfies the Agree- ment wIthin thIrty days of May 2, 1984. o The CIty shall open escrow by deposIting $50,000 wIth a local escrow company as soon as the Purchase Agreement IS executed by both partIes; If the escrow does not close wIthIn nInety days of the date it is opened the CIty may extend the escrow for an addItional nInety days with an increase In total purchase prIce of $50,000. (Fefer to TImeline for estimated dates.) o Upon inspection, the CIty determines that It IS feasIble to rehabilitate the property for the Intended use, e.g., the property has no unforeseen structural problems. o The City approves customary title reports, surveys and other necessary documents. V. Ownership/Management Plan A. OwnershIp The City of Santa MonIca WIll retaIn ownership of the property and faCIlitIes. Tenant agenCIes WIll operate under IndiVIdual leases WIth the CIty; the terms and condItions of WhICh will be developed In conJunction WIth tenant agenCIes. FInal lease terms WIll be approved by the CIty CounCIl. B. Tenant SelectIon Given the hIgh demand for affordable social serVIce space In Santa MonIca and the large number of VIable agenCIes In the communIty, the process of tenant selectlon Will be a difficult one. In order to achIeve the most eqUItable and 12 . . effect 1 ve "mI x" of agencIes r 1 tIS proposed that appl i cati ons for tenancy be made avaIlable by the CIty to all Interested organ 1 zat Ions and completed appl iea t ions be evaluated using the followIng process: 1. DeterminatIon of QualIfIed ApplIcant Agencies ApplIcatIons for space wIll be assessed USIng the followIng "threshold" criterIa: o The agency IS a tax-exempt, non profIt corporation. o The agency serves a minImum of 51% low and moderate Income IndIVIduals, pursuant to CDBG gUIdelInes. o The agency provIdes substantIal benefIt to the Santa MonIca communIty. o The IncluSIon of the agency would enhance the "program mIX" wIthIn the Center so that the Center offers a range of services. o The agency states ItS commitment to the concept of the CommunIty SerVIces Center and WIllingness to partICIpate In Inter-organIzatIonal actIVItIes of the Center. o The agency documents Its need for space In the CommunIty SerVIces Center. o The agency's space requirements can be accomodated withIn the space avaIlable whIle still preservIng the concept of shared common space and multIple tenants. o The agency exhIbIts the capaCIty to run an effectIve program from the Center. 2. Selection of Tenant Agencies For those applIcant agenCIes successfully meetIng the "threshold" crIterIa descrIbed above, tenant organIzatIons w111 be selected In two steps: Step 1..: A rna]Orlty of the space WIll be allocated to 13 . . those qualIfYIng agencIes that not only meet the "threshhold" crIterIa, but further meet the followIng: o The agency has a well-establIshed track record In provIding ongoIng programs In the communIty. o The agency has a dIversIfIed fundIng base WhICh makes the organIzation less vulnerable to losses or reductions In revenues from anyone source. o The agency IS funded from sources that provIde some assurance of long-term fundIng for the type of program offered by the agency through legIslatIon and/or other documented general commItments from fundIng sources. ThIS group of tenant agencies WIll be selected not only ensure that vIable serVIces WIll be located In the Center, but also to ensure the long-term stabIlIty of the Center due to the relatIve fInancIal stabIlIty of the selected agencIes. Step ~: RemainIng applIcant agencIes meeting the lIthreshhold" crIterIa, WIll also qualIfy for further consIderatIon, based on the extent to WhICh the fOllowIng addItIonal crIterIa are met: o The agency prImarIly targets Its services to lOW-Income reSIdents and other reSIdents traditIonally experIencing dIffIculty 10 obtaInIng access to these serVIces. o The agency provIdes Important socIal serVIces to surroundIng lower Income neIghborhoods. o The serVices provIded by the agency addresses an Important crItIcal need and proposes a InnovatIve and vIable plan for addressing this need. The purpose of thIS second step of the selectIon process IS to carefully assess those programs that are possIbly smaller or newer than the fIrst group but provIde Important serVIces that 14 . . would greatly enhance the CommunIty SerVIce Center concept. The development of fInal tenant selection recommendatIons wIll combIne an assessment of the above crIterIa, the avaIlabIlIty of space In the Center, and the desIred program mIX. CrItIcal to thIS process IS the careful assessment of space needs projected by applIcant agencIes and Its coordInatIon wIth the desIgn/space analYSIS phase of the project. A professional space planner wIll be retaIned to desIgn effICIent uses of space, maXImI ZIng both common areas and necessary program areas for each agency. The tenant selectIon and desIgn/plannIng processes are necessarily parallel actIvItIes. C. Center Management 1. PhYSIcal OperatIons and MaIntenance - The CIty WIll contract wIth a property management fIrm for the purpose of provIdIng ongOIng phYSIcal operatIons, maIntenance, and collectIon of tenant agency rents. The cost of thIS serVIce will be paId from rent revenues as IndIcated In the Project Pro Forma (Attachment B of thIS report). A maIntenance reserve WIll also be establIshed by the CIty from these revenues to ensure long- term maIntenance and Improvements. Staff of the Department of CommunIty and EconomIC Development WIll monItor thIS contract and assume responsIbIlItIes for resolVIng any property management Issues not governed by thIS contract. 2. Program Management - The management structure of the faCIlIty will depend prImarIly on the tenant agencIes and theIr efforts to IdentIfy mutual areas of cooperation and sharIng of resources. The CIty WIll assume a prImary role 1n the In1tIal 15 . . phases of the proJect to ensure completIon of the development phase and the avallablllty of technIcal support to agencies movIng Into the facIlIty. The followIng delIneates proposed broad areas of responsIbIlIty for the City and the tenant agencies. o CIty CouncIl - The CounCIl WIll be responsIble for establIshIng the long-term POlICY dIrectIon for the Center; approvIng tenant selectIon crIterIa and IndIvIdual tenant leases; for revIewing and approv- Ing any recommendatIons from CIty staff, the SocIal ServIces Commission, or tenant agencies regardIng operatIonal or programmatIc Issues that may arise durIng the course of the project. o CIty SocIal ServIces CommissIon - SImIlar to Its advisory role In the development and ImplementatIon of the CIty'S CommunIty SerVIce Grant program, the SocIal SerVIces CommISSIon WIll advIse the CIty staff and CIty CounCIl on the ImplementatIon and operatIonal aspects of the Center. These matters may Include the reVIew of applIcatIons for tenant selectIon and other plannIng or status reports prepared by eIther the CIty staff or tenant organizatIons before transmIttal to the CIty CounCIl. o CIty Staff - Staff of the Department of CommunIty and EconomIC Development WIll prOVIde staff support for the development phase of the proJect, work closely with applicant agenCIes and final tenant agencies to clearly defIne space needs, and prOVIde ongOIng technI- cal assIstance to agencies once the faCIlity IS occupIed. o Tenant AgenCIes - WhIle the CIty WIll assume prImary responsibIlIty for the overall, long-term management of the faCIlIty, It 15 Important to note at the onset that the success of the Center WIll lIe WIth the tenant agenCIes, theIr Boards, staff and volunteers. As has been the experIence WIth agencies currently located In one buildIng on the Santa Monlca Mall, the creatlve use of mutual resources occurs as agenCIes learn and under- stand each others' mISSIons, IdentIfy duplIcatIon of effort and potentIal areas of cooperatlon. WIthIn the broad gUldellnes set by the CIty CounCIl, tenant agenCIes shall have maXImum fleXlblllty to operate theIr programs as lndependent agencies as well as exploring varIOUS optlons for coordinatIon with other tenants. VI. Tlmellne 16 . . . An analysls of the tenant selectlon, space plannlng, design and constructlon actlvItIes that will begln after CIty CounCll approval of the proposed proJect indIcates that the Center wlll be available for occupancy no later than June 1985. The followIng tIffielIne reflects conservatIve estimates for the tIme steps WIll take. Act10n Date Conunents 1. City Council Approval 2. Open escrow 5/8/84 5/9/84 5/18/84 90 day escrow 3.

BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACT In arrIvIng at the fInancIng recommendatIon for acquIsItIon of the proposed property, an assessment was made of the eXIstIng reserve posItIon of the CIty. A three-year budgetary effort to elImInate spendIng from reserves for ongoIng operatIng costs has been successful. This tendency to balance the budget USIng reserve funds was preCIpItated tor the most part by dramatic, and sometImes unantIcipated, reductIons In State revenues, begInning wIth PropositIon 13 and contInuIng Into the 1982-83 budget year. To deal wIth this problem, the CIty Council used a two-pronged approach. One was a reductIon In effective expendIture levels and the other was to adopt a busIness lIcense tax increase to prOVIde a stable locally-generated tax resource whIch would allow conSIstency In budget expendIture plans from year to year. In the 1982-83 annual fInanCIal statements presented to the CounCIl on December 4, 1984, the followIng reserves were IndIcated: General Fund CapItal Reserves General Fund UndesIgnated Reserves CapItal Improvement Fund $4.9 millIon 5.1 mIllion 1. 7 mIllIon $11.7 mIllIon In additIon, as of June 30, 1983, there was a $2.4 mIllion cash balance for the Downtown Redevelopment Project. During the year-, the only signIfIcant change made by Council to the above reserves was to allocate $1 millIon from the General Fund Cap~tal Reserves to ~mportant Infrastructure ma~ntenance and Improvement proJects. The analysis set forth In the 18 . . Infrastructure needs report served as the basIs not only for the $1 mlll~on contIngency allocation to capItal proJects but also was Integral to the development of the 1984-85 CapItal Improvements Program. Reserve levels ~n the C~ty are now in a strong pOSItIon, haVIng broken the pattern of beIng used for ongoing operatIng costs. Therefore, opportunitIes for prudent one-time Investments In the phYSIcal Infrastructure of the City from reserve funds are merIted. There are also needs for investment In the economIC and sOCIal Infrastructure of the CIty. Staff feels that purchase of the communIty serVIces center property WIll be an asset for the CIty -- merely mOVIng from a lIqUId to a fixed asset POSItIon. Staff recommends fundIng of the property acquisitIon from the General Fund capItal reserves which now stand at $3.9 mIllion. ThIS money has already been conSIdered In the Gann llm~t and so IS excluded from current calculations. It 15 further recommended thatthese reserve funds be replenIshed by any unspent 1983-84 operatIng and cap~tal budget general funds approprIatIons WhICh eXIst as of June 30, 1984. Th~s money, too, has already been conSIdered 10 the current Gano lImIt computatIons and would be protected from future charging agaInst the lImIt by depOSItIng lt in a capital reserve account before year-end. At the present time, staff est~mates that up to $1 mIllion net may be unspent from the 1983-84 General Fund approprIatIons. As noted In the m~d-year reVIew, th~s IS prImarily due to unantIc~pated vacanCIes WhIch impact bothsalary and benefIt 19 ~ . . accounts; less than antIcIpated utIlIty rate Increases; and slower than proJected InflatIonary growth In salarIes. It IS Important to note that thIS antIcIpated under-expendIture IS not caused by an over-realIzatIon of General Fund revenues. At the present t1me, 1983-84 General Fund revenues are est1mated to come 1n approxImately $900,000 under budget. RECOMMENDATIONS CIty staff recommends that the C1ty Counc1l: 1. Approve the purchase and rehabIlitation of the property located at 922 Broadway and 1501 9th Street for use as a communIty serVIces center, and approve the Purchase Agreement and Escrow InstructIons between the CIty and Un~ted Brands Company. 2. Appropriate $1,993,622 from the General Fund Reserves to an account In the non-departmental dIVISIon to be used for the purchase and rehabll1tation of the proposed SIte, In conjunction wIth prevIously allocated CDBG funds in account 19-200-262-000- 920 in the amount of $507,418. 3. Approve the tenant agency selectIon crIteria and Management Plan 1ncluded In thIS report. 4. Authorize the C1ty Manager to beg1n ImplementatIon of the proJect, IncludIng engagIng archItectural and engineering serVIces to complete the plannIng and design phase of the proJect.

Attachment A - pg. I COMMUNITY SERVICES CENTER - PROPOSAL SUMMARY AND COMPARISON (1) PICO Neighborhood Association The pico Neighborhood Association proposed to purchase and rehabilitate three bUIldings on two contiguous lots at 2115- 212l pico Boulevard. The total square footage of the buildings is 13,175, with approximately 3,299 square feet in two small structures and 9,975 square feet in an open warehouse. The two small structures would require an infeasible amount of rehabilitatIon to meet accessibility codes, and have limited use in ~pace planning for a variety of agencies. The site is on a major bus line and IS easily accessIble by car. The property has good land- banking and future expansIon potential. After adjusting the proposed rents and financing terms to meet project requirements and market conditions the proposed project would require approximately $1,475,000 in City funds, or $147.87 per square foot of accessible, usable space. If CIty funds were used to cover the total development costs of $2,163,725 the per square foot costs would be $216.91. The Pico Neighborhood Association proposes to own and operate the property as a community services center in perpetuity. (2) Family Service of Santa Monica Family Services of Santa Monica proposed to construct a 12,009 square foot two-s tory bu i Id i og with a subter ranean garage on their current location at 1537-1539 Euclid Street. . . Attachment A - pg.2 Family Services owns the site and would lease it to the City or a non-profit corporation composed of tenant agencies at $35,999 per year for a period equal to the term of their lease in the Center. The site is within two blocks of a major bus line. The costs are low; $81.75 in City funds per square foot if private funds are used and $199.38 per square foot if the City covers the total cost; because the site is in a residential area. The project would require a conditional use permit or variance from the City's Planning Commission. g !-t ~ tI II :IIlln 1:1 ..~ 8.g 2 u PoO ~t' .... g,~ Ef:' Ib" Ii' .... ~ .... ~! ~ : 11I0 Ii .:Jet ....0 ~~ ~u ln3 ""J.
