Staff requests the Council adopt a resolution authorizing staff to enter into a Construction Agreement with Griffith Company to install three relocated water transmission lines as part of the State Route 134 Ramp Project and to amend the Fiscal Year 2007-08 Budget in the amount of $220,600. Staff is proposing to amend the Budget by using 127 Development Impact Fees to front the $220,600 in increased costs required for the construction, which should be reimbursed by the California Department of Transportation as part of the overall 134 Ramp Project.

A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK APPROVING A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT WITH GRIFFITH COMPANY AND AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2007-2008 ANNUAL BUDGET BY APPROPRIATING $220,600 TO FUND ADDITIONAL COSTS FOR THE RELOCATION OF CERTAIN WATER TRANSMISSION LINES (RAMP IMPROVEMENT ON SR-134).

The Council is to consider approval of an Amendment to the Rental Agreement between the City of Burbank and the Boys and Girls Club. The Amendment will allow the Boys and Girls Club to sublease a portion of their facility at 2244 North Buena Vista Street to Kedren Community Health Center to operate a Head Start Program. Head Start is a federally-funded program that was first established in 1965 to promote school readiness for low-income families by enhancing the social and cognitive development of children through the provision of educational, health, nutritional, social and other services to enrolled children and families. The program, which serves children two to five years of age, will operate during the morning and early afternoon hours while Burbank schools are in session.

A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK APPROVING THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE RENTAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF BURBANK AND BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB (2244 BUENA VISTA STREET).

Staff requests the Council adopt an Agreement between the City and the Airport Authority whereby the City performs basic maintenance on 64 airport radios used for police, fire and operations safety; and also secures radio interoperability for these Airport safety functions. The Agreement would facilitate much-improved radio communications between the Airport and the City�s Police Department without adverse financial or service impacts elsewhere. The Airport pays for the cost of these City services with a monthly fee per radio, periodically adjusted to account for general cost increases.

A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF THE WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS USE AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF BURBANK AND THE BURBANK-GLENDALE-PASADENA AIRPORT AUTHORITY.

Pursuant to Federal Regulations, staff is requesting Council approval of a resolution to issue a Notice of Intent to establish a railroad Quiet Zone on the Valley Subdivision at the Buena Vista Street crossing near San Fernando Boulevard. A Quiet Zone is a length of track where the sounding of locomotive horns is not required. In 2005, the Council directed staff to investigate the feasibility of establishing a Quiet Zone. Staff found that improvements to the at-grade rail / highway crossings on both the Valley and Ventura Subdivisions would allow the installation of a Quiet Zone. However, this resolution involves only the Valley Subdivision, as improvements necessary to qualify for a Quiet Zone on the Ventura Subdivision near Vanowen Street are still under design. The resolution will allow staff to proceed with the intent to establish a Quiet Zone, although it does not bind the City to implement a Quiet Zone. Regardless of whether a Quiet Zone is established, improvements that are planned and budgeted for the Buena Vista Street at-grade crossing will be completed.

A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ESTABLISH A QUIET ZONE PROCESS FOR LOCOMOTIVE HORNS WITHIN THE VALLEY SUBDIVISION AT BUENA VISTA STREET NEAR SAN FERNANDO BOULEVARD, IN ACCORDANCE WITH 49 CFR 222.

Staff is requesting Council approval of Parcel Map No. 63790, a four-parcel subdivision totaling 4.31 acres located at 201 South Buena Vista Street. The subdivision consists of two medical office buildings, a cancer center and parking structure and is owned by Providence Health System-Southern California, a California non-profit Corporation, DBA Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center. Conditions of Approval for Tentative Parcel Map No. 63790 have been cleared by the Planning Division for the purpose of Parcel Map approval. The remaining off-site improvements to be completed include the reconstruction of certain curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, as well as the resurfacing of Frederic Street and Buena Vista Street from Alameda Avenue to Olive Avenue. According to the State Subdivision Map Act, Chapter 3, Article 4, Section 66458, and the provisions of Chapter 27 of the Burbank Municipal Code, the Council must approve Parcel Map No. 63790 if it conforms to all the requirements. If such conformity does not exist, the Council must disapprove the map at the meeting it receives the map, or at its next regular meeting. If the Council has not authorized an extension to allow more time to disapprove the map, and the map conforms to all requirements, the map shall be deemed approved by operation of law.

A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK APPROVING THE FINAL PARCEL MAP NO. 63790 AND APPROVING A SUBDIVISION IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT (PMB BURBANK #1 LLC).

The City of Glendale�s Glenoaks Boulevard Rehabilitation Project includes the resurfacing of Glenoaks Boulevard from Grandview Avenue in Glendale to the Burbank/Glendale boundary. A portion of the City boundary runs through the roadway of Glenoaks Boulevard between Spazier Avenue and approximately 180 feet north of Alameda Avenue. Staff recommends including this portion of Glenoaks Boulevard in Glendale�s project by participating in a cooperation agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, the City of Glendale will handle the bidding process, as well as the construction management of the project; the City of Burbank will pay for the portion of the project within Burbank in an amount not to exceed $108,530.

A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK APPROVING THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF BURBANK AND THE CITY OF GLENDALE FOR THE GLENOAKS BOULEVARD REHABILITATION PROJECT.

Staff requests Council approval to accept a donation of $100,000 from The Barbara and Garry Marshall Family Foundation. The intent of the donation is to pay for the construction of an overhead shade structure covering the bleachers at Burbank City Stadium located at George Izay Park. Mr. Marshall, a successful writer, director, producer, actor, and owner of the Falcon Theatre in Burbank, is also a sponsor, manager and participant in the City of Burbank Park Recreation and Community Services Adult Softball League. The Foundation will donate $50,000 in December 2007 to initiate construction and $50,000 in 2008 once the project is complete. The donation will pay for expenditures associated with engineering, performance and payment bonds, and construction of the shade structure. A permanent park bench with an engraved brass plaque acknowledging the Foundation�s donation will be installed at the ball field.

A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK APPROVING THE DONOR � DONEE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF BURBANK AND THE BARBARA AND GARRY MARSHALL FAMILY FOUNDATION AND AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2007-2008 BUDGET BY ACCEPTING THE DONATION OF $100,000.

The purpose of this report is multifold. The existing DeBell clubhouse is due to be demolished in September 2007 and the new clubhouse will be completed during the Winter of 2008-09. As such, staff is requesting: approval of an Interim Operating Agreement with Raymond and Michelle Lucero (d.b.a. R&M Concessions, Inc.) for the DeBell Golf Course while the new clubhouse is being constructed; approval of a temporary agreement to lease a catering truck to provide continued food and beverage services during the demolition and construction of the DeBell Clubhouse; approval for EZ-Go Textron to enter into a 48 month lease for the mobile food and beverage refresher cart that will enhance a reduced level of service to our golfing patrons during the construction process; and, approval to enter into a five-year agreement with R&M Concessions, Inc. to commence once the new clubhouse has been reopened. The terms of the agreement will remain the same as required in their current agreement.

1. A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF THE INTERIM CONCESSION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF BURBANK AND RAYMOND AND MICHELE LUCERO, dba R & M CONCESSIONS, INC.

2. A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF BURBANK AND LUIS LARA, dba COMMAND PERFORMANCE FOR LEASE OF A CATERING TRUCK.

Staff will provide the Council with a report about the mandatory update of the General Plan Housing Element. Staff will highlight the schedule and deadlines for this project and the critical issues that must be addressed as part of this General Plan update. State planning law carefully regulates the content of the housing element and mandates that the City�s Housing Element be updated by June 30, 2008. In order for a housing element to be found in compliance with State law it has to meet the detailed and increasingly-onerous mandates of the law and be consistent with the other adopted elements of the General Plan. Staff will work with the Council and the community to analyze Burbank�s housing needs and the resources for meeting these needs in keeping with the rigorous State housing element mandates.

Staff recommends that the Council note and file this report. Unless otherwise directed by the Council, staff will proceed in the direction outlined.

During the July 31, 2007 meeting, Council Member Golonski requested that staff return with an option to allow developers who are not interested in meeting the Art in Public Places obligation of installing an on-site art piece to contribute half of the one percent obligation towards the Burbank Unified School District�s Arts for All program, with the remaining funds placed in the Public Art Fund (PAF). Currently, developers who do not desire to install on-site art must contribute their entire one percent to the PAF. The funds are used exclusively for the financing of art projects including, but not limited to, the acquisition, installation, improvement, maintenance, and insurance of art work that will be located at public buildings or on public grounds. The necessary action to alter the Ordinance would be to initiate a Zone Text Amendment to expand the in-lieu fee to include the option of allocating half of the one percent towards the Arts for All program. This item has been placed on the agenda as the first step for additional Council direction and consideration.

Staff recommends that the Council have a discussion on the possibility of initiating a Zone Text Amendment to expand the options developers might select if they choose not to incorporate art on-site.

Staff will provide the Council with a progress report on one of its goals for the year, establishing an Oral History Program for the City. Planning meetings for proceeding with this project have begun, and production of the series, now called �Burbank Voices: Then and Now� is about to begin. The project will receive guidance from the Public Information Office Subcommittee.

The purpose of this agenda item is to allow for subsequent public comment and Council action and direction as a result of the follow-up study session on a Circulator Transit Service and the Burbank Transportation Demand Management Program.

This Ordinance makes certain findings related to the City's participation in the Milford Wind Corridor Phase I Project and approves entering into the Milford Wind Corridor Phase I Project Power Sales Agreement between the City and the Southern California Public Power Authority.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK APPROVING ENTERING INTO THE MILFORD WIND CORRIDOR PHASE I PROJECT POWER SALES AGREEMENT.
