Full summary

The Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles and the Port of Los Angeles previously entered into a Second Memorandum of Understanding to coordinate improvements along Harbor Boulevard Parkway. This file proposes a first amendment to that agreement, initiated by the Board of Harbor Commissioners. The source documents do not detail the specific substantive changes made by the amendment, but Council is being asked to approve the modified agreement and authorize the POLA Executive Director, or a designee, to execute it on the Harbor Department's behalf. The Board of Harbor Commissioners determined that the proposed action is administratively exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review under Article II, Section 2(f) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines. The Harbor Department reports no impact to the City's General Fund as a result of the amendment, though neither the City Administrative Officer nor the Chief Legislative Analyst has completed an independent financial analysis. The Board of Harbor Commissioners submitted the amendment on May 6, 2026. After referral to the Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee, the committee voted 2-0 (with Rodriguez absent) on May 12 to approve all three recommendations: concurring with the CEQA exemption, approving the amendment, and authorizing execution. The item now awaits a full Council vote, with a deadline for Council action of July 1, 2026.
