(16) 14-0718 CD 5 GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the execution of a lease amendment with 1609 Westwood and Company for the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) Adjudication Office at 1575 Westwood Boulevard. Recommendation for Council action: AUTHORIZE the Department of General Services (GSD) to negotiate and execute a lease amendment between the City and 1609 Westwood & Company for continued use as a LADOT adjudication office located at 1575 Westwood Boulevard. The amendment would extend the current lease, which is currently in holdover status, for an additional two years through two one-year extensions, to expire in March 2025. Additionally, the lease terms and conditions will be amended to reflect a full service gross lease, as stated in the Municipal Facilities Committee (MFC) report dated October 26, 2023, attached to the Council file. Fiscal Impact Statement: The MFC reports that there is no anticipated current-year impact on the General Fund. Based on projections provided by GSD, there appears to be sufficient savings within the Citywide Leasing Account to offset an estimated shortfall of $8,794 for this lease. A reconciliation of the Citywide Leasing Account will be provided to the MFC as part of a subsequent Citywide Leasing Quarterly Status Report, with any potential year-end shortfalls to be reported to Council through the Financial Status Report.
