Recommendations for Council action: ADOPT the determination by the Board of Airport Commissioners (Board) that the proposed action is administratively exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Article II, Section 2(i) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines. APPROVE the Sixth Amendment to Contract No. DA-5190 with Nossaman LLP, to extend the term through May 3, 2024, covering LAMP-related legal services for LAWA relating to property acquisitions. CONCUR with the Board’s action on April 11, 2023, by Resolution No. 27706, authorizing the Chief Executive Officer, or designee, LAWA to execute the Sixth Amendment to Contract No. DA-5190 with Nossaman LLP. Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Administrative Officer reports that approval of the proposed Sixth Amendment to extend the term of Contract DA-5190 with Nossaman, LLP by one year, to provide LAWA with LAMP-related legal services for property acquisitions, in addition to other legal matters will have no impact on the City's General Fund. There are no funding appropriations required for this action, as expenses associated with the proposed Sixth Amendment will be recovered through landing fees, terminal rates and charges, and non-aeronautical revenues. The total contract authority is set at an amount not-to-exceed $9,320,000. The actions of the proposed Agreement comply with LAWA's adopted Financial Policies.
