with the Redev. Agency

FSA Lease Amendment

Mrs. Leyland, Senior Redevelopment Project Manager, Community Development Department, requested the Council consider the proposed amendment to the lease with the Family Service Agency (FSA) for property located at 2721 West Burbank Boulevard; and, requested Council and Redevelopment Agency Board approval of necessary budget amendments and a related cooperation agreement.  She reported that as part of the existing lease agreement, the FSA is responsible for funding all tenant improvements to the building while the City is responsible for the major building systems.  She noted that the City anticipated to fund and install an elevator for the required Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access, ensure ADA compliance on the front and/or rear entrances to the building and replace the roof at an estimated cost of $100,000.  However, since that time, construction plans have been developed and the FSA design team was informed of additional requirements for the rehabilitation of the building such as fire sprinklers and seismic upgrades.  In addition, the scope of work and cost estimates for the anticipated costs have changed based on the construction plans.  She informed the Council that the total estimated cost for these new required items and previously-expected improvements is $509,000.

Nighttime

Curfew Ordinance

Captain Lowers reported that on July 10, 2007, Council Member Golonski requested a discussion on the City�s nighttime curfew ordinance.  She noted that the purpose of the nighttime curfew ordinance was to protect youth under the age of 18 from potential victimization, guard against unlawful influences, reduce delinquency and enhance safety for residences during the nighttime.  She added that staff provided information related to Burbank�s ordinance and compared it to similar ordinances for the cities of Beverly Hills, Culver City, Glendale, Inglewood, Monrovia, Pasadena, San Marino and Santa Monica.  She noted that the majority of these cities have a 10:00 p.m. to sunrise curfew similar to Burbank�s.  She requested the Council discuss the matter and give direction as desired.

Mr. Golonski stated that the request originated from a visit to the Police Youth Academy where the students stated that the 10:00 p.m. curfew was stringent for Friday and Saturday nights.  He suggested an 11:00 p.m. curfew time for Friday and Saturday nights.

Mrs. Reinke agreed with the 11:00 p.m. curfew time with exceptions such as when engaging in lawful employment, returning from an activity such as a movie or sports event, or on a sidewalk or right-of-way abutting the minor�s residence.  She also suggested re-titling the ordinance.

Dr. Gordon, Mr. Bric and Mrs. Ramos were satisfied with the ordinance as is.

The report was noted and filed.
