The City of Los Angeles Department of City Planning (DCP) proposes to reallocate $85,000 from its Fiscal Year 2024-25 Adopted Budget to contract with the Institute for Local Government (ILG). This contract is specifically for program administration and outreach coordination related to Phase II of the Environmental Justice Policy Program. The overarching goal of this program is to comprehensively centralize and strengthen environmental justice policies within the City's General Plan, including a targeted update to the Open Space Element. ILG will operate as the outreach consultant and fiscal agent for the Community Partners Program, collaborating with community-based organizations (CBOs) to facilitate extensive community engagement. This engagement aims to collect vital feedback on draft policies and programs concerning health, air quality, open space, and environmental justice. The contract is set to run from March 3, 2025, through March 2, 2026, with a total compensation of $85,000. ILG's responsibilities include managing payments to CBOs, providing technical support and training, procuring engagement supplies up to $10,000, and compiling comprehensive summary reports of outreach activities. The City processed this as a sole-source contract, citing ILG's demonstrated and unique expertise in fostering partnerships between local governments and community organizations in Southern California. The funding for this contract will be drawn from existing DCP contractual services funds, ensuring no additional financial impact on the General Fund.
