A RESOLUTION OF THE AGENCY BOARD OF THE LYNWOOD REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY AMENDING RESOLUTION 2010.058 AND APPROVING THE REVISED
CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH MG RESOLUTIONS INC. FOR THE
PREPARATION OF THE ANALYSIS UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY ACT REGARDING THE PROPOSED PROJECT AT LONG BEACH AND
IMPERIAL WITH DEVELOPER M&A GABAEE
WHEREAS, the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") is engaged in
activities necessary to carry out and implement the Redevelopment Plan for Project
Area "A"; and
WHEREAS, on December 21, 2010, Agency Board adopted Resolution No.
2010.058 approving the contract with MG Resolutions to prepare the analysis required
under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") related to the proposed
commercial retail project bounded by East Imperial Highway, Long Beach Boulevard,
Sanborn and California Avenue in the City of Lynwood ("Proposed ProjecY'); and
WHEREAS, in further reviewing the scope of the proposed project, MG
Resolutions and Agency staff suggest that the CEQA process move directly toward the
preparation of an Environmental Impact Report ("EIR"), without having to undertake the
initial steps of having a scoping meeting and prepare an Initial Study to determine if an
EIR is necessary; and
WHEREAS, MG Resolutions has revised its proposal so that it encompasses
preparation of a full EIR at a revised cost of $172,000, which is anticipated to take
approximately 1 year to complete; and
WHEREAS, the Agency has evaluated the proposal provided by MG
Resolutions Inc. and finds that retaining its services to evaluate the potential
environmental impacts of the Proposed Project is the best interest of the Agency and
the health, safety, morals and welfare of its residents, and in accord with the public
purposes and provision of applicable state and local law and requirements.
NOW THEREFORE, THE LYNWOOD REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE
CITY OF LYNWOOD DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Having carefully reviewed the terms and conditions set forth in the
revised proposal by MG Resolutions Inc., dated January 11, 2011, and both oral and
written testimony regarding same, the Agency hereby amends Resolution NO. 2010.058
approved on December 21, 2010 and hereby approves retaining the services of MG
Resolutions under such revised proposal to provide the CEQA analysis related to the
Proposed Project.
Section 2. The Agency hereby authorizes the Chairperson to execute a
professional consulting services agreement with MG Resolutions Inc. in a form
approved by Agency Counsel, the costs of which shall be borne by the developer of the
Proposed Project under the terms of the July 6, 2010 Exclusive Negotiating Agreement,
as may be amended, between the Agency and M&A Gabaee.
Section 3. The Agency finds, as evidenced by a 4/5ths vote or better, that the
retention of consulting services may be more economically and efficiently effected
through the use of an alternate procedure, such that the Agency Board hereby approves
the exercise of the purchasing exemption authorized under Lynwood Municipal Code
Section 6-3.12(a)(3).
Section 4. This Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its
adoption by the Agency.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 18 day of January, 2011.
