17-1205_ORANGE COUNTY HEAD START, INC._F18_Agenda ReportTO : FROM : SUBMITTED BY : DATE : SUBJECT: City of San Juan Capistrano Agenda Report Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council ~njamin Siegel, City Manager Dori Budde, Community Services Director December 5, 2017 12/5/2017 F18 Consideration of License Agreement for Use of City-owned Property Located at 31485 El Camino Real (Orange County Head Start, Inc.) RECOMMENDATION: Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a License Agreement with Orange County Head Start, Inc., for use of City property located at 31485 El Camino Real, for a period of five years. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The Orange County Head Start Program, Inc. (Head Start), a federally funded nonprofit organization, has been providing a comprehensive child development program to children and families since 1984. The child development program is designed to meet the educational, social, health and nutritional needs of children in Orange County. Head Start has been occupying the City-owned facility at 31485 El Camino Real since 2002. Head Start pays the City $1 per year to rent the facility and pays all associated utilities and maintenance costs. Parking for the program is located at the adjacent La Sala parking lot and the Library parking lot, located at the corner of El Horno Street and El Camino Real. Head Start is requesting another five-year License Agreement at its current location at a cost of $1 per year, as a public benefit in accordance with City Council Policy 014 (Attachment 1 ). Due to the fact that Head Start also requested that the License Agreement be modified to align with the fiscal year instead of the calendar year, the City Council Agenda Report December 5, 2017 Page 2 of 3 License Agreement will actually be only four years and six months. The new License Agreement is proposed to terminate on June 30, 2022 (Attachment 2). On November 20, 2017, the Parks, Recreation, Youth and Senior Services, Trails and Equestrian Commission recommended that the City Council approve continuation of the License Agreement (Attachment 3). FISCAL IMPACT: The License Agreement compensation is $1 per year and the Licensee pays the cost of all associated maintenance and utilities. ENVIRONMEN TAL IM PACT : In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the recommended action is exempt from CEQA per Section 15061 (b )(3), the general rule that the CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Continuation of a License Agreement between the City and Orange County Head Start, Inc. would not be an activity with potential to cause significant effect on the environment and therefore exempt from CEQA. PRIOR CITY COUNCIL REV IEW : On December 11, 2012, City Council approved a five-year License Agreement with Orange County Head Start, Inc., for use of the City-owned property located at 31485 El Camino Real. COMMISSION/COMMITTEE/BOARD REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS: On November 20, 2017, the Parks, Recreation, Youth and Senior Services, Trails and Equestrian Commission recommended that the City Council approve continuation of the License Agreement. Chair Perrin, Jr., will be available to respond to questions regarding the majority recommendation. NOTIFICATION: Mai Hoang, Orange County Head Start, Inc.
