Agenda Item VI (a)
Staff Report
INFORMATIONAL ITEM ONLY:
Both the Assembly and Senate Budget
Sub-committees on natural resources have heard the Baldwin Hills Conservancy
Budget and have approved the $264,000 for baseline funding as proposed. These funds would be used by the conservancy
for salaries, rents, and other operational expenses. These funds are not for capital outlay expenditures.
Assemblyman Herb Wesson appeared before the Assembly Budget Sub-Committee on Resources and requested an augmentation of $11 million for acquisitions of key trail connection parcels in the Baldwin Hills Area. The committee agreed to consider the request after the May Revise fiscal data is available.
Agenda Item VI (c)
Staff Report
BACKGROUND:
Interim
Chairman Vera has requested that staff look into and eventually order an aerial
photograph of the Baldwin Hills Conservancy’s Jurisdiction.
Attached
please find a sample clip of an aerial photograph of the Baldwin Hills
area. This sample gives an idea of the
view scale of the photo and how it will look when printed. The current scale shows each inch to be
approximately 42 feet, or one square inch to be 1,800 square feet. A full-scale photograph would be 35 inches
by 48 inches and would easily fit on an easel for display. The total expenditure for the fully mounted
and laminated photograph is approximately $500.
Before
ordering the photograph, there are a number of factors that should be
considered. For instance:
·
Does the board want specific
areas to be highlighted?
·
Would it like to have lines
included to depict the entire Baldwin Hills area, or just the jurisdiction of
the conservancy? (If the board decides to highlight or limit the photograph to
the jurisdiction of the BHC, it may wish to wait to purchase this item until
after the outcome SB 259 is determined.)
·
Do you want existing parks
and open space to be demarked?
·
Other variations can be
discussed.
The company that will create the finished product can also add a small logo or name on the photo. Additional labors (such as, adding a logo or highlighting specific areas) run about $65 per hour.
