2. RESOLUTION NO. ____________ - APPROVAL OF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR LEVEL\nJOINT REVOCABLE PERMIT AND MASTER JOINT REVOCABLE PERMIT\nTEMPLATES AND APPROVAL TO MODIFY THE DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY TO\nEXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO EXECUTE CERTAIN JOINT REVOCABLE PERMITS AND\nMASTER JOINT REVOCABLE PERMITS FOR JOINTLY OWNED RAIL PROPERTIES\nWITH THE PORT OF LONG BEACH\nSummary: Staff requests approval of the updated Executive Director-level Joint Revocable\nPermits (JRPs) and Master Joint Revocable Permits (MJRPs) templates and approval of an\nincrease to the annual compensation amount for authority delegated to the Executive Director\nto execute such JRPs and MJRPs from $50,000 to $150,000. JRPs and MJRPs are month-to-\nmonth real estate entitlements granted by the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor\nDepartment) and the Port of Long Beach (POLB), as joint owners of rail properties located along\nthe former Southern Pacific Railroad and Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way in Los Angeles\nCounty. Currently, the Executive Director can execute JRPs and MJRPs for jointly owned\nproperty using the Board approved templates, with compensation amounts up to $50,000 per\nyear.
